Vice Captain of One Piece

Chapter 277 An Unknown Omen

At night, the stars are like a brocade, and the bright starlight buries the moon's demeanor, becoming the most dazzling scenery in the sky.Under the night, the azure blue sea is rippling with the breeze, shaking the fine light spots, and the sky and the earth reflect each other as one.The Qianyang is quietly parked on the ocean, and the light is warm, just like a harmonious home.

In the aquarium, Encore was lying on the sofa and flipping through the blank book that he brought from Chopper today. Luffy was lying on the sofa and fell asleep, with a straw hat covering his face to block the light.Sauron was sitting on the sofa near the knife holder, taking a nap with his three knives in his arms.

The aquarium with only three people is very quiet, only the occasional sound of flipping books can be heard.The fish in the tank are also coming to sleep time, only occasionally a few actively swim, and then hide in the rockery.

Ignoring the two people who were sleeping, Enke continued to flip through the blank book boringly, intending to find out the mystery in it. After all, she didn't think that witch would be so confused as to give a blank book to Chopper. There must be something in it. Things that are inconvenient for others to see.

"What is hiding, this blank book..." Anke, who had no idea where to start, closed the book angrily, stared at the pure black cover for a long time, and then stretched out his hand to scratch it in frustration, like a cat Grinding his paws with it.

As if startled, the black book suffocated for a moment, and then a line of pale gold ancient text appeared on the cover, with mysterious symbols that she was not familiar with.

'What's this? ', with doubts, Encore reopened the book, and suddenly found that the blank book had restored its original content.An Ke stared blankly at the content on the first page, and then touched his blood-red left eye in disbelief.

A lifelike girl is portrayed on the pure white paper, in a complicated and luxurious white dress, with long hair falling like a waterfall, only wearing a pure golden orchid hair ornament, her delicate face is like a fairy who can't eat the fireworks in the world, the portrait There is also a line of small pale gold text underneath, which seems to be the girl's name.However, the only thing that made Anke so stunned was not her amazing beauty, but the pair of blood-colored eyes, which were exactly the same as her left eye.The scarlet pupils and the weird black character 'six' dyed this elf-like figure with traces of darkness.

His left hand trembled slightly, and the red eyes under his fingertips were filled with disbelief and pain.She has always wondered where this ominous eye came from, but unfortunately it has never been found.Seeing this portrait and thinking of Raphael's words earlier, it's hard not to think of the reason.

'No wonder how they knew about this eye. It turned out that this eye originally belonged to a certain figure in their country, and then it was pressed on me by accident. ', Anke stared at this beautiful portrait coldly for a long time, and the two people in the aquarium were alarmed by the uncontrollable killing intent.Luffy and Zoro, who thought there were enemies, woke up immediately. After scanning the aquarium vigilantly, their eyes fixed on Encore.

Although he wondered why she would stare at the blank book like an enemy, Luffy walked up to her worriedly and asked, "What's wrong, Encore?"

"No, it's nothing." An Ke closed the book without a trace, took a deep breath and made an excuse, "It's just a very bad memory."

"What memories make you so murderous?" Zoro didn't believe her words. After all, the girl has been very good at controlling her emotions since she met her, and she rarely showed such obvious fluctuations.

"Very bad memories..." Anke curled her lips, clutching the book and laying down on the sofa completely, exuding the negative energy of 'I'm so sad and sad'.

"Ahhhhhhh?? Encore, what's wrong with you???" Luffy, who was immediately frightened by her appearance, panicked, thinking that she was starting to feel unwell again.After wandering around at a loss for a few times, I finally remembered a certain reindeer, and ran out immediately, "Chopper, Chopper!! Something is wrong!! Something happened to Encore!!"

"..." Sauron watched with shame as he rushed out and caused a lot of commotion, but he was not prepared to stop it, after all, he was also very worried about the listless people now.

Anke didn't pay attention to the noise on the boat caused by him, but just stared deeply at the book in his hand, and then threw it aside until it was foggy again and the cover turned back to pitch black.

'Forget it, at least know that this eye is a human eye.However, there seems to be another one in this world, I wonder if I will see someone like me in the future...', after sighing, Enke closed his eyes, the original anger has dissipated and only Helpless.Even if she knew the reason for this eye, what could she do.

After leaving Iceland, the temperature finally returned to an acceptable level.In the morning of the next day, the morning light was slightly dew, and the Qianyang ship slowly moved forward against the morning light.

Zoro stayed on the observation deck as always, exercising while looking at the surrounding sea; Sanji was already preparing breakfast for all the staff in the kitchen; Usopp and Chopper were fishing at the mouth of the fish tank, ready to fill it up An aquarium of nothing; others gossip on the lawn deck.

Frankie was sitting on the grass holding a bottle of Coke, drinking it occasionally; Robin was leaning against the tree where the swing was hanging, listening with folded arms and a smile; Encore was sitting on the gently shaking swing, smiling Listening to Luffy sitting in front of her excitedly telling herself what she didn't know.

"Listen to me, Encore~ I heard from the monster mother-in-law that our next island is Murloc Island~ There are many, many of these..." After a pause, he wrote and drew with a pen and paper (illusion) After waiting for a while, it appeared in front of her shiningly, "There are so many mermaids~~"

"Really? That's really looking forward to~~", Anke still smiled gently, but the corners of his mouth twitched slightly. After all, seeing a lot of...the abstract combination of fish and humans... still affects the aesthetics a bit.

"Also, I heard from the monster mother-in-law that we will pass through a very magical place before going to Fishman Island~ It would be great if we could see the living skeletons~" Luffy, who has always been obsessed with it, is full of expectations He smiled, and then looked at the girl sitting on the swing, "Hey, Enke, how about we find a living skeleton as a partner?"

"Okay." Anke agreed with a smile, her eyes narrowed into a line showing her good mood.However, just after she opened her eyes, her vision was blurry, and it was getting darker and darker. At the same time, the pen and paper that Luffy was holding to write and draw disappeared.

Her eyes widened in disbelief, looking in a panic at the field of vision that had dimmed to the point where she could not see any scenery, and at the moment when the darkness returned, she tightly closed her eyes not to accept the sudden darkness.

"Encore?", Luffy originally planned to draw a living skeleton, but found that the pen and paper in his hand had misted and disappeared. When he looked up at her suspiciously, he found that her eyes were closed and her face was covered with fine sweat.

"Enke, what's wrong with you?" Luffy stood up nervously, and put his hand on her shoulder worriedly.After seeing that she didn't seem to respond, he immediately shouted: "Chopper! Come here! Something happened to Encore!"

"What happened??", Chopper who heard the shout immediately ran over, and Usopp was responsible for getting the medical kit.

"What's wrong?" Robin and Frankie, who were listening leisurely, also came over, looked at her who suddenly turned pale with worry, and reached out to grab the swing rope to prevent him from shaking.Zoro and Sanji also ran out in a hurry, not knowing why they suddenly became nervous.

The slightly trembling left hand caressed the sinful eye. After taking a deep breath, Anke slowly opened his closed eyes. The eyes were bright, and the extremely clear view seemed to prove that the darkness of the previous second was just an illusion.But she was very clear, very clear what this blindness without a trace of pain and without a warning portends.

The worried faces of her friends were close in front of her eyes, but it became the reason why she couldn't tell what happened in that short second just now.After letting go of the hand that was caressing the left eye, Enke looked as if nothing had happened, her soft smile was the same as before, but with an indescribable melancholy.

Chopper also instantly forgot what Encore threatened before, and immediately began to help her check after it became huge.Usopp, who came down with a pile of medical supplies, also stood nervously aside.

Seeing the cold sweat on her face, Zoro frowned and asked the calmer Robin, "What's wrong with Encore?",
"I don't know, it was fine just now, but suddenly it became like this."

"Chopper, did you find anything wrong with the inspection?" Nami anxiously asked Chopper who was checking, but it was worth shaking his head in response.

An Ke let the ship's doctor examine him, and didn't say a word, just quietly watching the worried faces of his partners.After a while, she blurted out an irrelevant question, "Speaking of which, how old are you, Lu Fei?"

"Huh??", the captain on the side who was felt by the ship's doctor because he was in the way was stunned for a moment when he heard this question, scratched his cheek and counted his fingers before answering: "It's almost 18..."

"Really..., I'm almost 18..." Anke repeated several times in a whisper, before frowning slightly, "Calculate the time, I'm almost 18, no wonder..."

"Encore?", not knowing why she asked, Luffy looked at the uncharacteristic girl in a daze.

"You're so concerned about Luffy's age all of a sudden?" Zoro stared at the seemingly normal girl, always feeling that her question would not be so simple.

"No, it's just that I suddenly forgot how old I am." Anke lightly brought up the problem, and the smiling face was only real, "After all, I have been pretending to be a child for so long that I have forgotten how old I am." Years old……"

"It makes sense, after all, the cutie is only ten years old..." Sanji nodded in agreement, but there was another kind of deep thought in his eyes.He didn't believe that the girl in front of him would disturb everyone because of such a trivial matter. Although the captain looked carefree, he would not be confused about her affairs.Definitely something big is starting to hide from them again.

"But at your age, no matter how you look at it, you don't need to worry about age, right?" Franky pouted, pointing at Robin who was smiling, "No matter how you look at it, you should be Nico Robin's age. Need to worry?"

Robin (28 years old this year) who heard this sentence couldn't help but say a tic-tac-toe even if he could hide his emotions again. Really, don't you know that age is the biggest secret of a woman? !

"What? Age is what we girls are most worried about!", Anke, who was also very upset, puffed her face, although she was not old enough, she couldn't hide the fact that she was going to the second year this year.

"Yes, let the curly eyebrow cook cook you a cake on your birthday." Seeing her puffy face, Sauron just shrugged, and then looked at the ship doctor who had finished work, "Chopper, what's the situation?" Sample?"

"I didn't see any problem, but." Chopper, who was becoming huge, pressed Encore's left eye socket worriedly, "However, at the beginning, this eye seemed a bit strange, but it only appeared for a short time. I can't figure out what's going on with that."

"Do you need to go to the medical room for a careful examination?" Nami suggested, looking worriedly at the pale little man.

"No!" The person who flatly refused pouted and glanced away, "I hate the smell of disinfectant!"

"I clean the medical room every day. There is almost no smell of disinfectant! Moreover, the medical room is very ventilated, and the smell of medicine is not very strong!", the ship doctor said truthfully, holding his hoof up, looking nervously, his face was still pale her.

An Ke, who was not very happy to go to the medical room, wrinkled his face when he heard this, and his face turned black when he saw the ship doctor's tall figure.

"Anyway, I have to check it carefully this time no matter what. Chopper has now increased a lot of knowledge about that eye and how to treat it." Sauron directly pushed the Buddha who could subdue the encore to her. , "Luffy will take you there."

"Yeah! Let's go, Encore!!", a certain simple straw hat rushed towards the medical room regardless of the 21.The shrunken civet cat, Chopper, also ran behind, holding a lot of medical supplies but the sniper who didn't use them could only move them back intact.

After seeing the door of the medical room closed, Nami said in a low voice, "How much do you think Encore's words are true?"

"0." The four people who were still on the lawn deck replied in a deep voice. After so many things, if they still don't see that there is something wrong with Encore's appearance just now, then there is something wrong with their eyes.

"But why does she still lie?" Nami looked at the closed door of the medical room a little confused, "We are obviously partners. After so many twists and turns, can't she be honest with us?"

Robin's expression became serious, and he looked up at the pirate flag flying under the bright sky, "It can only be said that in places we don't know, even Miss Encore doesn't know, the Navy or higher-level what people did to her."

"I just said, how did that stinky shark return the cutie to us so easily!" Sanji clenched the cigarette in his mouth hard, with only the cruelty in his eyes that wanted to tear others apart.

"Hehe, it really is the world government. It is clear that after the agreement is completed, she will stay as she pleases, but in the end it will not be so easy to let her survive." Franky was also ignited, although he was He just joined, but he can empathize with the anger and sadness of his partners.

After Sauron held the handle of He Daoyi's knife tightly to calm himself down, he said in a deep voice, "Don't make wild guesses now, after all, we haven't seen what happened to Encore by those people. In short, we Pretend that you don’t know anything at first, but you must be vigilant secretly and pay close attention to her every move. You also need to be alert to whether there are strange ships or people appearing at ordinary times.”

"Now I can only take precautions. But, I remember everything that cutie encountered." Sanji kicked the toe of his shoe, and said in a cold voice: "One day, I will give this 'big! gift! 'Give it back to those bastards a thousand times!"

"Hehe, is there anyone in the pirate group who doesn't think so? Mr. Cook?" Robin smiled lightly and looked in the direction of the medical room. Reciprocity, but it's an insult to our identity."

"I heard the sound of your teeth being gritted..." Frankie on the side looked at the two of them with dark smiles with a little shame, and then joined their queue, "Indeed! By the way, when the time comes Let’s settle the debt of being beaten for no reason at the beginning!”

"Calm down, you guys." Sauron said lightly, pulled out a part of the knife and put it away, his eyes were full of deep eyes without any waves, "Revenge is certain, and anger will always exist. But now We still need to go through more battles and more tempering to make ourselves stronger to a certain extent before we can make those guys look good! Otherwise, we will only lose the people who finally came back again, and even catch up with other people .”

"We know this, Chlorella." Sanji reached out to remove the cigarette from his mouth, and after exhaling a smoke ring, he said blankly, "That's why we are so quiet."

"The time will always come! Until then, make yourself as strong as possible!"

"Oh!"

After repeated confirmation by the ship's doctor, there is still no way to find out the slightest problem with Encore, except that the legs are still unable to walk due to a weak constitution.However, the ship's doctor did not feel at ease, and neither did the others.Because there are really too many worrying factors about her.

After the captain took her to the kitchen, it was still frowning and writing and drawing, and Robin also came in to help it interpret the ancient books, hoping that it could get help from it.Nami is also watching. Although she can't help much, she still hopes to get the latest information as soon as possible.

Franky nestled in his workshop and was going to install a super luxurious heating furnace in the aquarium. Although the weather is very warm now, in case of winter, a certain chick ran to the aquarium again. trouble.

Sauron returned to the observation deck, and continued to exercise while observing his surroundings. His heavy face hadn't eased up to now.

In the kitchen, Sanji was cooking breakfast, while Luffy stretched out his hand and kept bringing him what he had prepared. Miraculously, he was not beaten by the violent cook, because what he brought was placed in front of Encore .

"Encore, let's eat, let's eat, you'll feel refreshed after eating~~~", Trying to resist his desire to swallow these breakfasts in one gulp, Lu Fei looked eagerly at the girl sitting at the dining table.

"No, I can't eat so much." Anke smiled and looked at the various breakfasts in front of him, and then said to a certain staring captain: "Luffy, call Sauron and the others. It's time for breakfast It's here too."

"Oh!"

However, before Luffy walked out of the door, Sauron's shouting from the observation deck came from outside. The loudspeaker amplified his voice, but it also brought tension to the originally stable voice.

'A ship is coming!On the sail is a dead shark!It was clearly aimed at us! '

Luffy's hand reaching for the doorknob froze, and then the smile on his face turned dark.After Sanji bit the cigarette in his mouth, he turned off the fire on the stove, took off his apron, wiped his hands, and walked towards the door.

"Encore stay here, let's go out for a while." Luffy's tone was very calm, he reached out to take off the straw hat and put it on Encore's head, and then walked out.

Sanji also followed behind, and said to her with a gentle smile, "Little cutie, please eat breakfast", and then went out and took her to the door.

"Click." The sound of locking.

Anke silently looked at the locked door, then silently stretched out his hands and pulled down the brim of his hat to cover his eyes, not caring about the tension outside or who came here.

Sure enough, I was still too naive...
