Vice Captain of One Piece

Chapter 59

The next morning, Nami yelled early in the morning: "Hey!! Wake up!! I saw the island!!!" Encore, who was used to getting up early, looked at the empty deck and said, "They should still be sleeping. Right?" As he spoke, he lifted the plank under the mast and looked at the people sleeping soundly below.Nami continued: "Wake up, I saw the island..."

In the boys' room, Luffy and Usopp were sleeping soundly, and Chopper was sleeping soundly on the books.What surprised Encore the most was that Sauron and Sanji were sleeping together head to head. Encore took a closer look. If he guessed right, Sanji actually leaned on Sauron's shoulder? ?The two still face each other tacitly? ? "It's an illusion, it should be..." Anke propped his chin and continued to look down.

So, Sanji, who heard Nami's "call of love", opened his sleepy eyes, then closed his face and pouted happily forward: "Good morning, Nami-san~~ Let's have a good morning kiss~~ "Enke looked dumbfounded at the sight of Sanji about to kiss Zoro's face, and suddenly covered the wooden board, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, 'kiss? ?O my pure heart...'

I heard a loud noise in the room outside. After Usopp screamed, followed by Luffy who rushed out excitedly, and finally Sauron and Sanji who were fighting together below.

"Island!!" Luffy climbed up the mast like a monkey, excitedly looking at the shining island in the morning and evening.In the orange sunlight in the morning, the small circular island seems to be sleeping peacefully.The uneven surface looks like a giant pineapple in the sunlight.

After a while of commotion, except for Robin who was still in the room.Everyone else landed on the island. "I don't know if there are any monsters~~" Luffy clenched his fists excitedly and looked around, "It would be better to have those monsters who are as strong as possible~~"

And Usopp pressed his long but slightly crooked nose with a sad face: "Please be careful? Don't even trample on my life, okay?"

After seeing the yellow fruit on the tree by the island, Sanji excitedly climbed up to pick one and said, "Look at this, this is the most suitable food for sailing. There seem to be many on this island. ~" Sanji slid down the tree and said happily: "There are many plants on this island that can be used as ingredients. This island seems to be a chef's paradise~"

"In this case, Sanji, you can go around and look at other plants," Anke arranged with a smile, "The others will draw lots and decide to come down alone to guard the boat."

Nami went on to say: "I want to take a good survey of this island today. I want to draw a map of the city. I'm excited when I think of it~~"

"I see." Anke stretched out his right hand and formed five crystal sticks with four short and one long, and then he clenched his fist and said, "Then let's draw lots and decide to leave one person guarding the boat." After Fei took a look, he immediately took four of them.Zoro stretched his waist and said, "Usually, isn't it up to the captain to decide this kind of thing?" An Ke played with the remaining crystal stick in his hand and said, "Yes, it's a pity that Luffy's words..."

"Hahaha, the four I drew were all short~~" Luffy laughed and looked at the same four picks in his hand.

Usopp looked at him with shame and said, "Why do you smoke so much??" Luffy looked at him suspiciously: "Isn't the more you smoke, the more powerful you are?"

Encore smiled at Sauron whose mouth was twitching, "Do you think Luffy will do this kind of thing well? Suo, Long, Jun??" Sauron directly chose to remain silent.

After a new round of draws, Chopper drew the longest one.Anke smiled and said: "Then please stay on the boat and guard the boat, Chopper." Nami, who had already packed up the measuring tools, left directly: "Then I will go first~ Come on everyone~~"

"Ah~~ Nami-san, who is carrying a measuring tool, is so full of youthful vigor~~" Sanji instantly followed Nami's footsteps with eyes full of heart and soul, "Nami-san~~ You are so beautiful~~"

"Nympho..." Except for the simple Luffy, this is the unified thought of everyone else.Luffy ran forward excitedly: "Then let's compare who picks more~~ Encore, let's go~~" The others had no choice but to keep up.

"Don't go so fast, idiot." Sauron said helplessly, looked down at Enke who was walking leisurely, and said, "Be careful that the little deputy captain can't keep up, and the hillside is relatively steep, she is a little... ...Ah!!!" After the sound of "plop", Usopp followed Encore calmly, directly ignoring Sauron's abnormal disappearance.

Chopper on the boat stared blankly at the crystal that dissipated in the air, and then at Sauron in the sea, but he still hadn't realized what happened.

After walking not far, Enke suddenly felt thirsty and stopped.Usopp asked her suspiciously: "What's the matter? Are you tired?"

An Ke shook his head, turned around and walked back: "I'll go back to the boat for a drink of water, you go to Luffy first, otherwise he's lost again..."

Usopp nodded understandingly, "I see, I'll take a step first"

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

On the boat, Robin was the only one sitting on the deckchair reading a book, but Chopper had no deer shadow. "Morning, Robin," Encore, who already knew that Chopper was staying in the warehouse, walked towards the kitchen.

"Morning, why are you back so early?"

"Suddenly thirsty," An Ke asked casually, "Do you want a drink of water?"

"I prefer coffee," Robin said, putting down the book, smiling.After a while, Anke came out of the kitchen holding a glass of water and said, "There are no coffee beans in the kitchen, why don't you go to the warehouse to have a look?"

Robin shrugged and stood up to enter the warehouse first, followed by Encore.Chopper was making medicine inside and talking to himself, and there was a plate with ten yellow pills beside him, "...Ranbo Ball, make more when you have time~ After all, I don't know what to do. It’s time to meet enemies. But I’m really happy~ I still remember the first time I made a rambo ball…”

Anke and Robin looked at the reindeer who was in a daze while holding the rambo ball, and smiled.Robin quietly went in and took out the coffee beans and was about to make coffee, while Anke leaned against the door with a water glass and looked at the unaware ship doctor.

The coffee smelled slowly, and Robin sat there after turning off the alcohol lamp, looking at Chopper who was still in the memory.

"I don't know how Dr. Doriel is doing now? If you have time, write to her~~" Chopper's nose moved, sweating and turning around slowly, when he saw Robin who was smiling softly , screamed in fright, took the rambo ball and hid in the wooden barrel on the side.

Seeing Chopper's frightened look, Robin got up without getting annoyed and prepared to pour the coffee out. "Fur Enhancement!!" Hearing Chopper's voice, Encore watched in astonishment as a fluffy ball emerged from the barrel. The color was exactly the same as Chopper's fur, and there was even a pink hat on it.The ball stopped after bouncing on the ground a few times. Seeing how Robin was burned, he made a big jump, "Weightened!!" The ball instantly turned into a gigantic Chopper, clenched his fist and shouted with. "Jump Enhancement!!" Chopper jumped up again with thin limbs and hit the bucket opposite Robin. The gushing water knocked over Robin's coffee.As soon as Anke raised his hand, a crystal wall blocked Robin's front, blocked the splashing water, and then dissipated.

"Strengthen the antlers!!" Chopper's originally small antlers instantly grew larger, and the sharp points made people frightened, "See? I see through it!!" Chopper, who had regained his civet-like appearance, put his hooves together and stared at Robin with a serious expression, "Strengthen your mind!!"

'Why are all the partners Luffy finds so weird? Encore took a sip of water, and looked at the cautious and vigilant Chopper with the corner of his mouth slightly raised: "This is the seven stages of change that Luffy said at the beginning?"It's really interesting...'

"Hehehe..." Robin knelt down and looked at Chopper with a smile and said, "You are so cute~~I like you very much~~"

Chopper was stunned for a moment, his face flushed instantly and he burst into laughter, dancing with his arms and legs: "Fuck... what are you kidding? I'm not happy at all when you say you're cute~~you bastard~~~"

"Yes, yes..." Encore was used to Chopper's awkward expression, put down the water glass and said, "Lovely doctor, please go fetch some water and come back? Was that the last bucket just now?" Luo Bin also smiled and handed an empty wooden bucket to Chopper: "Is this your job? After all, you spilled it."

"Ah, yes..." Chopper slowly followed them out holding a wooden barrel twice as big as himself.

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

In the forest path leading to the center of the island, the sun is warm and bright.Robin led the way, while Encore and Chopper, who was carrying a barrel, followed slowly.Looking up at the bright sunshine, Anke smiled slightly: "The weather today is good, very suitable for walking." Robin nodded, "Well, I haven't felt so relaxed for a long time." Chopper was afraid Hide behind the encore.

Robin, who was walking in front, seemed to have seen some beautiful scenery, and walked a few steps faster with a surprised expression on his face.Encore and Chopper, who came next, were also amazed by the scenery in front of them: the beautiful and peaceful blue lake was shining in the sun, and the shore was full of unknown white wildflowers. The wind blew gently, and the flowers were fragrant.Slowly stepping on the flowers, Anke gently twirled a blooming flower and sniffed lightly. The breeze blew the long black hair, and the white kimono flew lightly, as beautiful as a non-existent picture scroll.

"It's so beautiful..." Seeing all this, Chopper and Robin exclaimed in unison, and then smiled at each other, creating a harmonious atmosphere.

Chopper began to draw water from the bank, while Encore and Robin sat among the flowers on the bank. "What kind of person is that Doctor Doriel? Is he Chopper's master?" Robin picked up the flowers and began to make a wreath, and asked casually.

Anke tilted his head, smiled and said, "Who knows, when I went to the place where Chopper lived, I only saw the doctor once, why don't you ask Chopper?"

After hearing their conversation, Chopper stopped and thought for a while and said, "Ms. Doriel is my benefactor. Everyone calls her DR-Kureha. She likes to drink very much. Although she is a woman, she looks like a sea monster." Thief, to be precise, he is a doctor like a pirate. I have studied medical skills with Dr. Doriel for 6 years, and she has been teaching me very hard..."

Seeing Chopper who fell into memories again, Encore and Robin looked at each other and smiled without disturbing it. "That's great..." Robin looked at the wreath in his hand, his eyes were slightly complicated: "I also want someone who can write to me..."

Anke just smiled and suddenly remembered something, picked up the necklace around his neck and asked, "Robin, have you ever seen this kind of necklace?"

Seeing the blue drop-shaped pendant in Anke's hand, Robin showed a hint of surprise on his face and said, "This is... Tears of the Ocean?! Where did you get it??"

"It's not mine, a bastard forced it to hang around my neck," Anke looked at Robin excitedly after a simple explanation: "If you know this thing, do you know how to untie it?? I've tried many methods but can't solve it!"

"I don't know much about this..." Robin still looked at the pendant and said, "I've seen this pattern on a stone slab before, but the record there is not very clear, it just says that this necklace is from ancient times. The artifact, and some people say that it has something to do with the blank 100-year history, so I remember it more clearly..."

"It's too much~~My dear fiancé~~" A clear voice interrupted Robin's words, the voice was full of grievances: "Why didn't you ask me?? Obviously I put it on for you~~~ "As soon as the words fell, a tall figure appeared out of thin air among the flowers.

Seeing the figure covered from head to toe in the black cloak, Robin and Chopper were taken aback for a moment, then looked at him vigilantly, but Encore clenched his fists, "Finally get out!" ! Seeing the dumbfounded Robin and Chopper, Encore hesitated and said, "Robin, Chopper, you go back to the boat first, I have a bit of a personal grudge against this guy. Don't tell Luffy and the others that I'm here... "

Robin thought for a while and said, "I see. Let's go, ship doctor-san~~" Chopper nodded in a daze, and quickly followed Robin's footsteps with the bucket on his back. Can.

The right hand casually pressed the lotus pattern on the back of the left hand, but Anke didn't feel Xue Lian's existence, and looked at the mysterious guy solemnly, "Where is Xue Lian?"

"It's really too much~~My dear fiancé~~" The young man was full of grievances, took off his hat and looked at Encore and said, "It's been so long since we haven't seen each other, yet you don't care about me at all, you only think about that knife... ..."

"In my opinion, Xue Lian is much more important than you," An Ke slowly pulled out Chi Yue, and after thinking for a while, he untied the crystal and sealed it back into his body. The crescent moon pattern on his left hand quietly disappeared, and An Ke But resisting the discomfort at that moment, she still looked at him calmly.

Not caring about Anke's vigilant actions, the boy still said with aggrieved face: "Why don't you wonder why I took that demon sword away so easily?"

"Yao Dao usually admires the strong. It is undeniable that you are stronger than me, so there is nothing to say," An Ke still smiled habitually, narrowing his left eye slightly.A gust of wind blew, and a large number of petals flew all over the sky. After a while, the figures of the two disappeared in the flowers.In the suddenly white space around them, there were only two people, and the young man even happily said: "My dear fiancé~~ If you want to live with two people, you should have said so earlier~~ I can take you to other places Oh~~”

"Just stand there," An Ke just said softly when she saw the young man wanting to step forward, and then she stretched out her right hand and the trident appeared in her hand, "Now, please return Xue Lian to me. And take this necklace back. Then, it disappeared before my eyes..."

The young man froze for a moment, a trace of injury slipped across his monstrous face, and then he put on a gentle smile, his brows and eyes curved: "I don't want it~~ That's the token of love you gave me, my dear~~"

Ignoring the young man's molesting words, Anke still calmly said his own words: "Last time, I was just too surprised and let you snatch Xue Lian away, but I won't do the same thing again Failed. You are indeed stronger than me, but..." The trident slowly shrank, and finally became 40 centimeters. The right hand kept playing with the sharp weapon, and finally stopped with a turn of the wrist, "After calming down, I will also start I got a conclusion from the last lesson, and that conclusion may be your weakness..."

Hearing Anke's calm and comfortable words, the young man was stunned for a moment. When he saw Anke's next action, his pupils dilated instantly, and his face was full of panic.The boy's reaction just confirmed Encore's guess. There was a trace of satisfaction on Encore's face, and he held the trident in his right hand and approached his throat closer, "Last time you said that I am important to you, right?"

The teenager without a trace of a smile bit his lower lip tightly and stared at Encore.

"You are indeed very powerful, but can you stop me before I cut myself at this distance?" En Ke still calmly pointed the trident at his throat without showing mercy to the panicked teenager, "I'm not a good person , I don't want others to take me as his belongings without authorization. As long as I know the enemy's weakness, I will use it thoroughly, even if that weakness is my own, I will use any means to achieve my own goals. Although I cherish my life very much, but from last time, you seem to hate the way I get hurt, right?"

The young man was still speechless, his sky blue eyes seemed to be full of sadness and helplessness, his lower lip was clenched tightly with blood stains, and when he saw that the trident was about to cut through Encore's delicate neck, his figure disappeared instantly.

The sharp tip of the trident pierced the white skin, and the eye-catching blood snaked down and dripped on the white kimono. In the snow-white space, there was silence except for the tight heartbeat.

"Sure enough..." Unsurprisingly, with the sudden increase in temperature behind her and the cold touch on her neck, Anke just smiled affirmatively, and drooped slightly.In the space separated by the illusion, a blue-haired boy in a black cloak stood close to the child in front. The back of the white hand covering the child's neck was pierced by the tip of the trident, and the blood flowed down, embroidering red on the white kimono. Cherry blossoms.

After a long time, the boy stretched out his free left hand in silence, slowly grabbed the necklace around Anke's neck, and pulled it.Feeling that the necklace was detached from her neck, Anke showed a satisfied smile, dissipated in the boy's arms, and appeared five steps away in front of the boy, the trident was still dripping with blood that did not belong to her.

After thoroughly confirming that the boy was not malicious towards him, Enke finally stopped being hostile.After shaking off the blood on the trident, he took it back.Seeing the expressionless young man who always smiled softly, and the knuckles of the necklace in his left hand turned white, An Ke suddenly felt that he looked like a wounded animal, "Except for him telling me my identity at the beginning, he It seems that there is no extra action to hurt me, maybe this guy is really not an enemy.From this point of view, we should treat him a little better. After all, Xue Lian is still in his hands, and if he becomes an opponent, it will be very troublesome..." After balancing the interests, An Ke felt that it was better to put him on the safe side for the time being. .

The boy still pursed his lips tightly and did not speak. His long bangs covered his eyes, but it always made people feel his sadness.Seeing his right hand still dripping with blood, Anke sighed helplessly and walked forward slowly.The surrounding white space quietly disintegrated, the white petals were still flying with the wind, and the faint fragrance of flowers lingered in the wind.

Gently clasping his injured right hand with both hands, Enke gently closed his eyes, and a faint blue light enveloped the fingertips that were clasped.Feeling the young man squatting down slowly, Anke opened his right eye, but was a little stunned to see the reddish eye sockets of the young man, and smiled helplessly: "Are you a child? Do you want to cry?"

"But you really scared me just now. The tone and expression made me feel that you were not joking..." The boy said aggrievedly, "I really thought you would stab yourself in the throat..."

"I won't hurt myself so stupidly, that's just a means, I just want to test whether you are an enemy or a friend," 'and I promised a certain idiot that I wouldn't hurt myself so easily. Anke silently continued the last sentence, and then questioned this guy about his details, "So, who are you, brat? Where did you come from? What ability? Where is Xue Lian?"

"I'm not a brat..." Seeing that Anke had let go of his hostility, the young man returned to his normal state, and said with a smile, "I'm your marriage...ah!! It hurts so much!!" The young man looked at Anke grievously. He pinched the back of his hand fiercely, but he didn't dare to resist, so he replied obediently: "I am Artesdylan-D-Raphael, from the Kingdom of Artesdylan, a user with the ability of the fruit of time and space. My family. Speaking of my dear fiancé, you seem to have not told me your name~~~"

'The Kingdom of Atlas Dylan? ?How come you haven't heard of it? ?Go back and ask Robin later..." Enke ignored the frivolous tone behind him, retracted his hands after healed the injury on the back of his hand, opened his closed left eye and continued to ask: "Where is the fruit of time and space?" What kind of ability? Can you perform space transformation at will?"

"Almost ~ I can transfer anything to the place I designate, and I can also bring the marked items to me, and I can also control the time of inanimate objects~" Continue to answer obediently, The young man looked at Enke with a smile, "So, my dear..."

"Then what's the matter with your healing ability?" An Ke continued to interrupt him, and suddenly remembered that this guy healed his hand injury last time, and regretted wasting his mental power to heal this guy's wound. Although the wound was made by himself, "Since it is the fruit of time and space, no wonder it can unlock my illusion. It seems that he can also transfer the illusion I attached to the left eye, or return the time of the illusion to the unused time." Before, it was really a troublesome ability...'

Seeing that Anke ignored his question again, Raphael sat directly among the flowers, looked at her with a bulging face, and replied slowly: "Everyone in our country can use healing techniques, but mine is a bit stronger. ..."

"Don't call me 'fiancee' anymore, I don't have that kind of relationship with you..." Seeing Raphael's disappointed face, Enke slowly continued: "Enke, my name is Anke .”

"Encore~~~~~~" Hearing Raphael's sweet voice, Encore trembled, and then stretched out his hand and said, "Where is Xuelian, kid? You should be able to bring it here, right?" Raphael Er chuckled and pointed at his own face and said mischievously, "Kiss me..."

'Crack' a white and tender paw patted Raphael's cheek, Anke withdrew his hand and said: "Hurry up, kid. I feel uncomfortable if Xue Lian is not here. Your abilities can't be here Take Xuelian out?"

"I'm not a kid, and don't you look younger than me now?" Raphael said aggrievedly, stood up and took a few steps back and slowly stretched out his hand, and then a white demon knife appeared in his hand out of thin air .

"Xue Lian~~~" Anke happily jumped up and took it, touched the cold blade, and stretched the long ribbon, full of joy.Seeing Enke's happy look, Raphael immediately held his face and said heartily: "My fiancé is really cute~~~"

The sun had already risen to mid-air, Raphael looked up at the sky and said: "Encore~~~ I'm going back, otherwise I'll be in trouble if they find me sneaking out..."

"Then goodbye..." An Ke said indifferently, carrying Chi Yue and Xue Lian behind her back.Raphael's face instantly collapsed, and he said bitterly: "My dear fiancé, can't you show that you don't want to part with me?"

"Anyway, with your ability, you can come whenever you want, so what's there to be reluctant about?" Enke ignored his address, looked at Raphael's pretty face with a light smile, and suddenly found that childish expression quite suitable for him , looks cute~
Raphael pursed his lips slightly, knelt down and hugged Encore lightly, and said, "Then, I'll go first. Bye, my dear fiancé~~" He kissed Encore's side face lightly and it disappeared In the sea of ​​flying white flowers, only Anke was left alone.

Feeling the soft touch on his face, the dark-faced Anke's mouth twitched slightly, and then he wiped it off, and immediately regarded it as being bitten by a dog.After walking a few steps, Anke felt that something was wrong, and slowly stretched out his right hand to touch his neck, and as expected, he found that the pendant was still hanging on it, "That bastard kid! ! '

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

After tidying up her mood, Encore went to find Luffy and the others. After all, regaining Xuelian would make her feel so good that she could forgive Raphael for putting the necklace back around her neck again. 'Ah, I forgot to ask him why he knew me...' Anke tapped his head helplessly, and continued to walk forward, 'Forget it, anyway, that kid will automatically appear next time, but it's best if he doesn't appear . '

When passing a hill made of fruits, An Ke walked forward without stopping.After a while, feeling something was wrong, she took a few steps back and stared at the pile of fruits, "Why do I always feel that there is someone inside?"And that feeling is very familiar...'

Not long after, the pile of fruits suddenly shook. "Tornado!!" A familiar voice sounded, and the sharp knife wind spiraled up, and a large pile of fruits were instantly blown away and scattered everywhere.The person standing up from the pile of fruits held two knives, one knife in his mouth, and said slowly: "I almost saw a beautiful garden..."

Sensing that someone was watching, he turned his head slowly, and saw Anke, who was smiling sweetly, holding a pineapple-like fruit in his hand and looking at him calmly.Seeing the unfathomable smile on Anke's face, Sauron silently shed a drop of cold sweat. After all, he didn't know if the pineapple he just flew hit the young lady. It is possible to go swimming again later.

Throwing the fruit in his hand into Sauron's full back basket, Anke took the lead and walked in the direction of Luffy: "Come after you carry the basket, Sauron-kun~~ I'm in a good mood today, so I forgive you Already~~"

Sauron breathed a sigh of relief, and put the knife back. It was a little strange that Anke was in a good mood when he saw the two knives on her back.Rubbing his eyes in a daze, Sauron asked suspiciously: "Enke, that white knife is..."

"Xuelian~~ I just got it back. So I'm in a good mood now~~"

Hearing Anke's joyful voice, Sauron easily followed up with the fully loaded pannier on his back, "Have you seen that thief? Who is he?"

"He's from a country he's never heard of before. He's a power user of time and space fruit. He's a bastard." Anke briefly explained his understanding, and then said, "But it shouldn't be from the enemy. confirmed."

"Fruit of time and space??"

"It comes from the ability to transfer space at will, so I suddenly appeared here just now and then left. It's a little lucky that guy is not an enemy, otherwise it would be a little troublesome."

Sauron didn't ask any more questions. After all, it was thanks to that bastard kid who sent Xuelian back, otherwise he would be unlucky, and Anke would definitely throw himself into the sea because of the fruit incident just now.

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

I heard a lot of monkey cries and Luffy's laughter from afar, Encore and Zoro twitched their mouths tacitly, thinking tacitly: "Sure enough, a place with Luffy will be very lively, even if this Even if it is an uninhabited island...'

"Hahaha!!! You are really interesting~~" Luffy smiled while eating a pineapple. "Chichi, chirp chirp!!!!" The monkey boss was also eating a piece of fruit, while responding to Luffy's words.The other monkeys were chirping around Usopp lying on the ground pretending to be dead.

Anke and Zoro, who walked over, silently stared at the captain who could communicate with monkeys across species, then looked at the two empty back baskets next door, and sighed helplessly.Sauron stroked his green hair and said shamefully, "So, how did he make that monkey understand what he was talking about?"

"Who knows, this kind of thing..." Encore loudly reminded Luffy who had forgotten his original purpose: "Luffy, didn't you come to pick fruit? Also, Usopp, what's the matter with you?"

"Yo~~~ Encore~~~" Luffy and the monkey put their shoulders together like good brothers and said, "I just found another partner~~~" The monkey also happily echoed: "Chichi , chirp chirp~~~"

"..." Encore and Zoro had nothing to say, watching Luffy and the monkey who had just been promoted to 'crew' laughing and laughing.Sauron said slowly: "Why do I always have the feeling that I'm on the wrong boat..."

"It's an illusion..." Anke slowly pulled out the Xue Lian that he had just brought back, and gracefully untied the ribbon that wrapped around the sharp blade, "Catkin Snow!!!" Dense snowflakes suddenly appeared on the perennially warm island, instantly It drowned the sleeping Usopp and the bunch of monkeys, and even the trees not far away were not spared, covered with snowflakes.

Luffy, who was not buried by snowflakes, blinked blankly, looked at the white knife in Encore's hand, forgot for a moment that he had just found his 'partner' who was now buried by snowflakes, and jumped in front of Encore and asked, "Encore , What is the knife in your hand? Where was that thief back then? I will definitely beat him up for you!!"

"I just took it back, that kid has already left," Anke put the knife back behind his back, reached out and fiddled with the snowflakes that fell on Luffy's straw hat, and said, "Hurry up and pick some fruit, didn't you say you wanted it at the beginning?" Do you want to compare who picks more?"

Nodding in understanding, when Luffy saw the full basket behind Sauron, he said instantly dissatisfied: "It's too much!! Sauron, we haven't started picking yet! You cheated!!"

Sauron yelled with sharp teeth in an instant: "Who cheated?? Didn't you play with that monkey and forget the time??"

"It's so cold!!!!" Usopp suddenly yelled and interrupted their conversation, emerging from the snowdrift, trembling constantly, "What's going on?? I almost dreamed of a beautiful garden just now ...". "Chichi!!!" And the bunch of monkeys ran away tremblingly and shouting.Luffy said regretfully: "Ah, why did the monkey I just found run away?? It's rare that I have a tacit understanding with it..."

"...When did you have a bad relationship with these messy creatures??" Sauron, with black lines all over his head, looked at Usopp who was shivering from the cold, and then at Luffy who had no snowflakes on his body. Ke's eccentricity has a new definition.

"Hahahaha~~~" Luffy said proudly, "So I'm so good~~hahahaha~~~~"

"This is not a compliment..." Sauron and Usopp said silently in their hearts.Then Usopp looked at the abnormally appearing snowflakes around him, then looked at the white handle of the knife behind Encore and said with a little surprise: "Encore, when did you get that knife back? Why don't we know of??"

"Just now~~" Anke smiled, reached out to touch the lost white demon knife and said happily: "Although the process was a bit troublesome, I still got it back~~"

"Hahaha~~" Usopp suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed loudly: "Sure enough, the thief was afraid of my captain Usopp's reputation, so he sent the knife back!! I really am too powerful!!!"

"Then, Captain Usopp, please fill these two baskets with fruit and carry them back. Anyway, there is nothing that can bother you, right?" Encore smiled lightly, stretched out his hand towards Luffy, Let him pick himself up and go back, "Luffy, let's go back to the Merry first, it should be enough time for lunch now."

Luffy made a face at Usopp, and walked towards the boat with Encore in his arms: "I'm going back to eat~~Come on, Usopp! Hahaha!!!"

"It deserves it..." Zoro said lightly, carrying his basket on his back and following in Luffy's footsteps.

"..." Usopp was alone in the wind, and the slowly melting snowflakes behind him added to the depression in the scenery.
