Thoughts x Quietness x Mysterious Island

——The story is not long and not difficult to tell.

But it is

Get to know each other, but fall in love

--------------------------------

After the New Year, the red-haired pirates stayed on Flozen Island for another three days before leaving with satisfaction.

In fact, if it weren't for the fact that Seleustin was so miserable with the cold, they originally planned to stay for at least a week.

Fortunately, Seleustin's strong demands (coercion and inducement) finally moved Shanks, and he was able to stay away from this island that was like winter all year round as soon as possible.

After that, life changed back to what it was at the beginning.

Seleustine still lay on her exclusive lounge chair every day, holding the dessert prepared by Lucky, reading magazines and news, or bickering with Shanks beside her.

Regularly receive a bag of pocket money from Beckman, and spend lazy afternoons dozing on the deck while fishing.

Occasionally, you can meet a few pirates who come to provoke you, which is just a good way to exercise and relieve the somewhat boring daily life.

Comfortable, free, carefree

It’s as if those magnificent events a while ago never really existed

But Selustine knew that this was just an illusion

----

The girl lying on her back on the recliner didn't know what she was thinking. Her always clear and beautiful eyes were staring blankly at the sky, and there seemed to be a sigh between her lightly parted lips.

Peaceful and comfortable freedom...

Shanks sat side by side with her on another recliner, with a magazine spread casually over his face. His lowered right hand was dangling from time to time. If you listened carefully, you could also find some lazy and melodious tunes. What came out from under the magazine was the tune he hummed randomly.

Everywhere about this person is filled with laxity and laziness. He is so laid-back.

Selustine looked sideways at him for a long time, her eyes swept over the somewhat scattered but still bright red hair, then she turned her head as if her eyes were burned by the color, and looked up to the sky again in silence.

The clouds together looked a bit like a bird with outstretched arms. She thought wildly, and her thoughts drifted further away.

Speaking of which, this sea area is really quiet.

The waters of the New World have always been famous for being unpredictable and unpredictable, so when sailing you can often hear various sounds, including the sound of waves blown up by the wind, the sound of water surging under the boat, and the chirping of seagulls in the sky.

Although these sounds are not deafening, they are definitely something that cannot be ignored.

It's not like now, I can't hear any sound at all

Selustine thought so and closed her eyes, wanting to listen carefully to the world around her again.

Another half day passed, but she still didn't hear the expected sounds of waves and birdsong, so she had to sigh again out of boredom.

"Hey, Shanks, have you noticed?"

Her voice fell softly beside Shanks. His drooped right hand stopped aimlessly shaking, and turned to lift a corner of the magazine covering his face, revealing a half-lazy look.

Selustine knew that he was listening, but she did not choose to turn her head to look at him, but slowly opened her eyes.

"Today..." Is it too quiet?

It's so quiet it's like you can hear your heartbeat

She was about to say this, but as if she was suddenly stung by a certain part of the words she originally planned to blurt out, her slightly opened lips stopped stiffly.

No, no matter how quiet it is, she can't hear her own heartbeat.

She unconsciously covered her heart with her palms. This inadvertent movement seemed to hit the most vulnerable part of her heart accurately, forcing her to look directly at the uneasiness and fear that she had deliberately ignored.

"Seleu?"

A low and somewhat doubtful voice sounded in his ears. The owner of the voice lifted the magazine covering his face and sat up.

"Ah, I mean, the clouds have a very special shape today."

The girl he was watching smiled lightly, took off the hand covering her chest, looked at the sky and turned to him, perfectly covering up the unnaturalness at that moment.

But the person sitting next to her was not someone else. How could Shanks not notice her movements?

The red-haired man came over and rubbed the top of her hair, smiling and saying, "Really?"

If she doesn't tell him, then Shanks won't take the initiative to ask, just like Seleustin has never mentioned what happened in the missing year since he came back, and Shanks didn't mention it either.

Thinking about it this way, the things Seliu didn't want to tell him probably had something to do with that period of time.

Thinking of some of the things Reijiu had revealed to him, the curvature of Shanks' mouth did not change, and his smile seemed to be brighter.

Jerma...

Seleustine, who was still leaning on the chair, held down Shanks' hand that was making trouble on top of her head, suppressed the sudden uneasiness in her heart, and responded with a slight smile.

The two people were bathed in the sunshine, looking at each other silently as if they had given each other the softest part of their hearts.

But at the same time, they hid the complicated thoughts in their hearts tacitly and did not let the other party know.

After a while, Selustine stood up from the recliner, stretched out, and once again mentioned what he wanted to say just now.

"Shanks, isn't it a little too quiet today?"

"Well, Seyu, have you noticed it too? It's indeed a bit unusual."

Beckman's voice sounded behind the two of them along with the sound of his pacing footsteps.

In the waters of the New World, any abnormal situation needs to be paid attention to, otherwise a careless step may lead to being caught off guard by the rough waves.

"But I haven't heard of a special climate around here. We should be far away from dangerous ocean currents."

The destination of their trip was the New World Islands owned by the Red-haired Pirates. They intended to buy some wine and enjoy some delicious food while patrolling the territory. The whole boat was in the name of patrolling, but in fact they were going to Traveling around

Therefore, the Foss chose a relatively safe route to avoid getting involved in unnecessary trouble. But now, an unprecedented abnormal scene suddenly appeared in this sea area that was clearly a safe route after screening. I am afraid something happened. question

She was looking at the sea in front of her, frowning and thinking, when a warm hand held her shoulder soothingly.

"Well, nothing will happen anyway, don't worry too much."

Shanks' voice was as casual and lazy as ever, and he seemed to have slowed down his speech to ease the uneasiness of others present.

Strangely, Selustine was really comforted by his words and relaxed her frown.

As if to confirm Shanks' words, the sounds of nature were suddenly sent back to this world, and the sounds of waves and ocean currents returned to everyone's ears again.

Selustine relaxed her whole body, leaned on the railing and looked at the sea, and nodded slightly.

Beckman also followed her line of sight and glanced at the blue water. He took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth. He was about to light it with a lighter when the sound of chaotic footsteps behind him interrupted his movements.

"Vice Captain! Look at that!"

The crew members who hurried over had no time to catch their breath, so they hurriedly handed the telescope to Beckman.

Beckman took the telescope and looked in the direction of the crewman's finger. He looked very intimidating with a cigarette in his mouth. No one could ignore the seriousness in his brows.

In fact, there is no need for telescopes anymore, the distant scenery is faintly reflected in everyone's eyes

Shanks put away his gentle and casual look next to Seleustin. He held onto the railing of the Foss with one hand and looked at the black spots that appeared on the sea level in front of him from a distance.

That small black spot enlarged as the Foss continued to sail, and Seleustin slowly opened his blue eyes.

"That's... a tree?"

No, it's not accurate to say it's a tree. It's clearly an island covered in green mountains. In the center of the island stands a towering tree with enough shade to cover the entire island.

Are there no islands in this sea area?Where did this small island that suddenly appeared come from?

As if he could understand the confusion written all over her face, Shanks looked at the green canopy.

“It should take at least three days to get to the nearest island.”

That is to say...

Beckman walked up to the two of them, and silently watched the island getting closer and clearer with them, and then picked up Shanks' unfinished words.

"This island appeared out of thin air, or it was an island that never existed on the nautical charts."

As he said this, the calm expression on his face did not change, as if he had no worries about the unknown place in front of him.

That's right, there are no big scenes on this sea that these people haven't seen before.

Facing a "non-existent island", rather than worry and anxiety, surprise and excitement may be more suitable for the Red-Haired Pirates.

"Island that doesn't exist, don't you think it's interesting?"

Sure enough, Shanks on the side turned his head and glanced at Beckman over there. The wanton smile appeared on his face again. Beckman, who received the signal, nodded and turned around tacitly, waiting for Shanks to say. Take action immediately

Selustine looked helpless, but a smile quietly appeared at the corner of her mouth, and she nodded slightly towards the red-haired man who was being followed by everyone's eyes.

"Don't make too much noise, Captain-san."

After hearing her words, Shanks' smile became brighter and he raised his arms. The crew members all around responded, creating a scene of enthusiasm and high spirits.

"There is a new adventure, let's go!"

"Oh!!"

What is she talking about? These people are not afraid of the unknown. No matter what is waiting for them ahead is a vicious trap or a hard-to-find secret treasure, it will only stimulate the desire for exploration in their hearts and make people excited instantly.

Seleustin's smile was inevitably a bit like the indulgence of an adult towards a child. Beckman, who was watching on the sidelines, clicked his tongue and dragged Shanks up to the deck with a cigarette in his mouth to prepare supplies for disembarkation.

The blond girl still stayed where she was, waving slightly towards their backs, then turned around and leaned lazily against the railing.

Those clear blue eyes traced the appearance of the giant tree getting closer and closer to the Voss inch by inch.

After staring for a while, his delicate eyebrows were raised slightly, giving off a bit of doubt.

This tree is really special. Whether it is the umbrella-like open crown or the spiral trunk, it is something Seleustin has never seen before.

But it was precisely because of this that the sense of instant vision that kept popping up in her mind seemed so strange.

That feeling was reminding her in a subtle way that this place was no stranger to her.

With such doubts, Selustine stared into the distance for a long time, letting the dazzling sunlight fall into his blue pupils, shining as transparent as crystal.

----

At this time, in the middle of the tree canopy, where Seleustin was looking at, the twilight old man's heart skipped a beat and he slowly opened his eyes.

He lowered his eyes and looked at the pendant he wore on his chest. It was a spherical crystal. It was hard to tell what material it was made of. It just made people feel that it was particularly delicate and translucent.

And the pendant is now shining with golden light, like a living star, being held in the palm of the old man's hand.

He looked at it for a long time, and seemed to be looking at someone through the soft golden color.

With a little caution for fear that the dream will be broken, extremely pious
