Vice Captain of One Piece

Chapter 42 The Miracle Cherry Blossoms Blooming in the Snow Country
Looking at the gorgeous scenery in front of him, Encore's rare joy was replaced by sudden sadness.The real pink crystals fell slowly, while the illusory cherry blossoms were still dancing tirelessly. As time passed, almost all the crystal fragments fell to the ground, while the cherry blossoms were still blooming.

Looking at the shards on the ground with cold eyes, and then looking up to compare the ever-beautiful cherry blossoms, Enke slowly stretched out his right hand to pick up the last piece of crystal shards, his eyes were full of hesitation, "Should I be deceived forever? Is it the best? '

The fingers slowly closed, and finally tightened tightly. His unprotected hand was pierced by the sharp corners of the crystal. Anke watched the blood flow out of his hand drop by drop, dripping on the crystal-covered ground with a blank face. .

Slowly opened his hand, looking at the blood-soaked crystal fragments in his palm, Anke's eyes revealed pain, "But this is the real me, with blood-stained hands, committed countless sins, and feared by the world exist……'

Staring blankly at the blood staining the entire palm of his hand, Anke threw away the crystal in his hand in disgust, and shook off the blood on his hand.Looking up and seeing the still beautiful cherry blossoms, Anke squinted his left eye, the flowers were all broken and dissipated in the vast snow.

Holding Sauron's three knives in his left hand, Encore made a crystal road on the snow and walked slowly towards Sauron's location with his head down.The hanging right hand was still bleeding, and drops of blood slid down the fingertips to the ground, blooming gorgeous red plums.The crystals all over the ground behind Encore were slowly covered by falling snowflakes without leaving a trace.

Under the winter sun, the soft light enveloped the entire Winter Island, and the white snow on the ground shone gleaming white.The little figure shuttled through the forest without leaving a single footprint. The blood on the little right hand was frozen into ice by the cold weather, and the snow-white complexion made it even more terrifying...

..........................................

Following Sauron's breath, he walked casually, and finally slowly walked towards a town that was almost buried in snow. Anke wondered how Sauron would come here, even if he got lost, he ran out of the town nearly a few kilometers away from the ship , This is too genius.

Holding Sauron's knife in both hands, with the dried blood still remaining on his right hand, Anke looked strangely at the bustling town in front of him, and blinked blankly, "Is Luffy there?"Otherwise, why make a fuss? ', close your eyes and feel Luffy's breath.

'Strange, why is Luffy there? ? ' Encore looked back at the tallest, pillar-like mountain. 'How did Luffy get up such a straight cliff? Even with the help of Sanji, they still brought Nami who was unconscious. Anxious, Anke quickly walked towards the mountain peak. After running for a few steps, Anke stopped, looked at the knife in his hand, turned around and ran to where Sauron was.

Finally, I saw Sauron wearing a cotton coat in the folk house, and even Vivi and Usopp were there. Although it was strange that Sauron's clothes looked familiar, Encore ignored it and shouted anxiously,

"Sauron!!"

Sauron, who heard the shout, turned his head in doubt, and saw the little vice-captain running towards him slowly, holding three knives, although that speed might already be the fastest speed of Encore.

"Encore?!" Usopp and Weiwei, who heard the shout, wondered why Encore came over, "Why are you here?"

Throwing the knife to Zoro, Anke took a few deep breaths to calm his overly violent heartbeat, pointed to the highest mountain and asked, "Why is Luffy on that mountain?"

"There is only one doctor who lives on the top of the mountain on this island, so Luffy and Sanji took Nami over there." Usopp explained, "The past of this island just came back, how many people brought us in?" Don Thorn is now receiving treatment in his room."

"Treatment?" Enke repeated, "Didn't it mean that there are no doctors on this island?"

"That guy named Wapolu brought all the doctors with him, but those doctors are now treating Daltonsang's wounds." Wei Wei continued, "That guy set off for that mountain and said he would Taking back my castle or something, I'm worried about Luffy and the others now.

An Ke, who had no interest in these things, looked at the mountain and said, "I'll go and have a look now."

"Wait a minute, Encore." Sauron, who had just put the knife away, stopped Encore, "How are you going to get up?"

"I have my own way," Anke said flatly, shaking his right hand, and found that the dried blood was tightly stuck to his hand and could not be removed.

"Anke, when did your hand get hurt?" Zoro walked over and squatted down, pulled up Anke's right hand to have a closer look, and said, "The wound is quite shallow, it must have been scratched by something." As he spoke, he tore a cloth towel off his body and wrapped it up for Encore.

The door opened with a "squeak", and a tall man staggered out with bloody bandages, followed by many doctors in pink robes, who were all stopping him.

"Dalton-san!!" Vivi and Usopp ran up nervously, and Sauron asked strangely, "So, who is this person??"

Anke quietly took his right hand away, quickly said "I'll go to Luffy's side first" and disappeared.

"Hey, wait a minute..." Zoro turned his head anxiously, and found that Encore was nowhere to be seen, and even the footprints of her departure could not be seen on the snow.

"How did you do it?" Sauron said strangely, remembering that when Encore just said that he was going to climb that ridiculously high mountain, Sauron, who was a little worried, yelled at Usopp and Weiwei: "I'll go find them." Anke, you can figure it out yourself!"

"Oh, hello!!!" When Usopp and Weiwei turned their heads, they only saw Sauron running out.Usopp sighed helplessly and said, "It's like this for one or two..."

..............................

An Ke was sitting on a snow leopard, clutching his left eye tightly, and ran quickly towards the foot of the mountain. Suddenly, An Ke looked back vigilantly, and found a figure running towards him in the distance.Lying on the snow leopard, he sighed helplessly: "Why don't you get lost this time, Sauron-kun..."

"Rabbit??" Anke looked strangely at the huge scarred rabbits lying in front of him, but he still urged the snow leopard to pass them and stop at the foot of the mountain.The snow leopard squatted on the ground obediently, allowing Anke, who had been covering his left eye, to slide down slowly. When Anke's toes touched the ground, the snow leopard suddenly disappeared.

Putting down his left hand, his left eye had already turned purple. Looking at the figure getting closer behind him, Anke sat helplessly on the summoned crystal, waiting for a certain swordsman to arrive.

"Wow!!!!!!" White smoke billowed behind him, Sauron rushed forward with a roar, and stopped when he saw Encore.An Ke watched calmly as he barely stopped after slipping out of a deep hole in the snow, panting continuously.

"En... Encore!!" Sauron, who had just recovered his breath, yelled, "You bastard!! Children should stay on the boat obediently!! It made me..." I was not enough to speak later.

A certain 'kid' who was 10 years old in appearance and 17 years old in mind silently rolled his eyes to the sky, and said to the red-faced and sweaty swordsman: "I told you that I have my own way, but you don't believe me. "

Sauron took a few deep breaths and said, "No way, if something happens to you, other people may hit me directly." Looking up at the unbelievably high mountain, Sauron knelt down helplessly with his back to Encore and said: "Come on, I'll take you up there."

Anke looked at Sauron's thick shoulders, smiled slightly and said, "Although this method is good, but it's been too long, come here, Sauron."

Turning his head strangely and seeing Anke waving at him, Sauron had no choice but to stand up and walk over.Walking up to Encore, looking at Encore's deep violet eyes, he said, "What are you going to do?" Before he could ask, he fell asleep on the ground with his face on the ground.

Looking at the green head on the ground, Anke smiled sweetly and said, "Sleep well, Sauron. When you wake up, you will be at the top of the mountain."

Encore stood up, and the crystal behind him automatically retracted into the snow.No human breath was found nearby, so Encore confidently switched it to the three-beast path, and a big snow-white eagle appeared in front of Encore and squatted obediently.An Ke stepped on a crystal step and climbed onto Da Diao.

Looking at Sauron on the ground, Anke narrowed his left eye slightly.A huge boa constrictor appeared in the field of vision, gently rolled up Sauron with its tail and put him on the big eagle, and then disappeared.The big eagle also flapped its wings, soared into the sky, and flew to the top of the mountain.

The big eagle flapped its wings quickly and rushed to the top of the mountain with the help of the airflow. "Slow down!" Seeing something, An Ke ordered Da Diao to slow down slightly, and Da Diao tried his best to stabilize his figure and flew upwards slowly.

Anke squinted his eyes and carefully looked at the red marks on the cliff. There were many scratches, each of which was shocking. "That's... blood..." Anke bit his lower lip tightly, and looked up at the more and more bloodstains on it, "Is it... Luffy's?" '

"Damn it!" An Ke couldn't help cursing in a low voice, and the big eagle immediately flew to the top of the mountain. An Ke used crystals to tie himself and Sauron to the big eagle to prevent his body from falling due to the angle.

Once at the top of the mountain, Anke covered his left eye and untied the crystal and kicked Sauron down.Then he jumped down too, and the big eagle flapped his wings and flew up to the sky out of sight and disappeared.

As soon as he put down his left hand, he saw a figure being beaten and flew out. Anke looked strangely at the place where the figure disappeared, and put his gaze on the scenery on the top of the mountain. After all, the person who flew out was not known to him, so there was nothing to care of.

On the top of the mountain was a luxurious castle, and a mother-in-law in a purple crop top leaning against the city gate was looking at her in disbelief, as if she couldn't accept the grand appearance of Encore and Sauron just now.A blue-nosed…reindeer in trousers, a pink cap, is standing on two feet, staring blankly at the top of the castle.

Sauron, whose face was buried in the snow, suddenly shook his green head, slowly stood up and stretched his waist, and said, "Aha~~~ I slept so well~~~" When he saw this strange scenery , Zoro said strangely, "Weird, where is this?? I'm not with Encore...ah, yes, Encore!!!"

Helplessly watching Sauron standing next to him shouting his name into the distance, Anke stretched out his hand and tugged at his trouser legs, saying, "I'm here, Sauron."

Looking down, Zoro finally saw that Anke was fine, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Just now I thought..."

"Wow!!!" Suddenly a familiar voice came from above, Encore and Zoro looked up, and saw Luffy flying towards them angrily, his face froze.

"Ah??" Luffy, who was flying, realized that the two people were not enemies, and exclaimed excitedly, "Hey!! Encore! Zoro!!!"

Encore nimbly jumped to the side, allowing Luffy to bump into Zoro who stayed in place, causing a big snowstorm.

"What are you doing!!!" Sauron got up from the snowdrift and growled with his fangs.

"Ahahaha!!!" Luffy rubbed his head and laughed, and said, "Zoro's clothes are very similar to those of those people just now, I thought they were his accomplices, ahahaha~~~"

Zoro looked around and said, "Luffy, where is Nami and that nympho cook?"

"Oh, they're all right~~~ very healthy~~~~"

Quietly put the bandaged right hand behind her that had forgotten to heal, just as An Ke said "Luffy", Luffy immediately knelt down and looked at her suspiciously.Looking at Luffy covered in frostbite and cannon fodder, Anke said distressedly: "If you are climbing a mountain, go back and tell me earlier. If I help you, you won't suffer so many injuries..."

"Oh~~~" Luffy said with a bright smile, "It's fine now, don't worry, Encore, and ah, I just found a new partner~~~"

At this time, a door rose from the ground, and Weiwei and Usopp helped the scarred uncle out, followed by a group of people with knives and guns.

"It was Wapolu who was shot flying just now?" the uncle said in surprise.

"Ah," Luffy said with a smile, "his two men were defeated by that reindeer." He pointed at the reindeer that was hiding behind a tree, but it was obviously hiding upside down.

"Blue nose..." The uncle looked at the reindeer, as if thinking of something.

"Strange...monster!!!!" Usopp screamed, and Luffy punched him and lay on the ground, pointing to the reindeer that ran into the forest in fear and said, "Look, he ran away in fear !!!!"

"Hey!! Reindeer!!!" Luffy ran towards the reindeer with his arms wide open, "Be my partner!!!!!! Hey, wait!!!"

"Hey, Luffy, your injury!!!" Just as An Ke said, Luffy couldn't even see his shadow.

"Hmm!" The uncle suddenly knelt on one knee in pain, clutching his blood-stained bandage and said, "Suddenly I have no strength..."

"Dalton Sand!" Vivi and Usopp anxiously walked over to support him.

"Hey!" The old woman smiled suddenly, pointed at the castle behind her and said, "Are you happy? Send the injured person to the ward.

"Huh?!" Sauron suddenly remembered something, his face froze, "You were a stinky old woman back then!!!"

"Bump!!" Anke watched the old lady rush up nimbly and beat Sauron to the ground, then folded her arms and said to the others, "Hurry up!"

"Yes!! DR-Kureha!!!" The crowd immediately obediently carried the injured uncle in, and Weiwei followed.

"Hey, brat." DR-Doleha held up the sunglasses with one hand and looked at Encore and said, "Do you want to go in and take a look at your hands?"

"No need, mother-in-law." An Ke said obediently: "This injury will be fine later."

DR-Kurekha turned and entered the castle, "Really? As you like."

Zoro looked around, clutching his head and thinking, 'Finally, how did I get up here? ? '

..............................

It was already night, and Luffy was still looking for the blue-nosed reindeer on the top of the mountain.

"Hey!!! Reindeer!!!" Luffy shouted standing under the castle, and Usopp, who was boringly building a snowman next to him, said: "Luffy, give up, you won't come out after looking for him like this .”

"Maybe he doesn't want to be a pirate at all." Sauron said lightly.

Anke hugged Chiyue, smiled and said: "But that reindeer is amazing, cute and talking~~"

"Oh, it has nothing to do with that, it's just that I want to find him as a pirate~~~" Luffy continued to shout, "Hey!!! Reindeer!!!"

"In the end, it's just your wishful thinking..." the three said helplessly.

At this time, the reindeer suddenly came out from the corner.Nami and Vivi also just dragged Sanji out of the castle,

"Hey~~Reindeer~~~" Luffy said excitedly, "Let's go be a pirate together!!!"

"Impossible," the reindeer lowered its head and raised it after a while as if making up its mind and said loudly, "I'm just a reindeer with horns, hooves, and a blue nose. Although I really want to be Pirates, but... I am not a human partner, but a monster, I can't be your partner!!!" The words slowly began to cry, "I am very grateful to you for inviting me, if you have time, you can Come and see me..."

"Whispering!!!" Luffy yelled and interrupted the reindeer, "Let's go!!!!"

Tears slowly welled up in the reindeer's eyes, and they nodded fiercely when they saw the smiling people: "Mmm!!"

"It's the first time I've seen someone who invites others and thinks they're bothersome..." Zoro said with a smile.

"Yeah!!" Encore nodded in agreement, then laughed, "That's what Luffy would do, isn't it?"

..........................................

While everyone was not paying attention, Enke quietly pulled Luffy to a corner where there was no one to heal his injuries, helplessly looked at a certain captain who didn't care and said, "Remember, remember to follow me next time if you have anything to do." Say, what if such a high mountain falls down?"

"Ahaha~~ Don't worry about such small things~~ And I've been very concerned about it since the beginning and said," squatting Lu Fei pulled Encore's right hand emitting a faint blue light and looked at the simple cloth towel on it.

Anke had no choice but to withdraw the blue light, and let Luffy untie the cloth to reveal the small wound in his palm.Seeing Lu Fei's rare frown, An Ke had no choice but to stretch out his left hand to heal the injury on his right hand, "Is this all right? Captain?"

Lu Fei still didn't say a word, but carefully rubbed the coagulated blood, and found that the wound had healed, so he said with satisfaction: "It's almost~~~"

"Then, let's continue~~~" Anke's hands emitted a faint blue light again.

"Yeah!" Lu Fei reached out and pulled Encore's bangs, completely covering his blood-red left eye.After a while, Luffy couldn't help being bored again. He pulled Anke's kimono sleeves that reached to the elbow, looked at Anke's exposed half of his arm and asked, "Aren't you cold? Just now I I felt super cold when I beat that guy up..."

"If it's cold, I will definitely wear clothes, so I won't treat myself badly~"

"That's good, ahahaha..."

..........................................

"Nami, are you really alright?" Usopp stopped making a snowman, looked at the energetic Nami and said worriedly.

Nami smiled and raised her thumbs up and said, "It's all right~~~~"

"Nah~~~" Luffy sat on the round snowball boredly and said, "Let's say goodbye to the old woman doctor and Uncle Dalton~~~"

"It's better not to disturb other people's parting, Lu Fei-kun." Weiwei said with a smile, and Sanji was still lying on the ground unable to move.

"Speaking of which, what's the child's name??" Anke, who was holding Chiyue, sat on the snowball boredly and looked in the direction of the castle.

"Ah, it's called 'Tony Tony Chopper', and it's a reindeer that ate the human fruit." Nami introduced.

"Huh?! Why is it so noisy??" Zoro looked at the suddenly noisy castle and said, "Ah, he is here!"

"Everyone, hurry up!!!" Chopper dragging a sled shouted, accompanied by countless axes, knives and guns falling beside him, followed by DR who was holding a big iron ball and roaring; Kureha .

"Huh? Oh!!" The group quickly jumped on the sled that was passing by, watching as Joe Bala quickly left the castle with the sled along a rope leading down the mountain.

..........................................

The people who had already left the mountain went straight to the direction of the Merry, and suddenly there was a huge bombardment from the direction of the castle, and Chopper stopped strangely, and everyone looked in the direction of the castle, stunned for an instant.

Pink cherry blossoms are blooming on the castle, and the pillar-like mountain becomes the trunk of a huge cherry blossom tree.The petals fluttered and fell with the white snow, becoming a miraculous existence on Winter Island. Chopper stared blankly, and burst into tears...
