Celebration x hotel x sweetness

——I am like a leaf that has fallen off the branch

Exposed to the sun and wind

Your lips are my sweet rain

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

Ten days go by in a blink of an eye

Ace and Marco arrived at Fairwind Island the night before the Carnival Festival in a small boat powered by the Burning Fruit.

In order to prevent the navy from noticing their movements, only two of them came out of the Moby Dick this time, and they were still in Ace's light and extremely fast boat.

After all, since the Carnival Festival, a large-scale celebration that invites people all over the world, some big figures will receive invitations every time but never show up, such as the four emperors of the pirates and the three generals of the navy, who have reached this level of strength. I won't even join in the fun with the juniors.

Although due to special circumstances this year, both White Beard and Red Hair decided to send people to attend, but they only provided the information to the organizers of the island celebration and asked them to arrange the reception in advance. The other party has always done an excellent job of keeping confidentiality , there should be no need to worry about the news leaking

If the Whitebeard Pirates really came without any cover-up and with great fanfare, some conspiracy theorists might make up some random rumors, which would outweigh the gain and the loss.

The red hair should also cover up his whereabouts a little like this, right?

Marco thought so, and the calm expression on his face broke when he saw the Red Foss casually docked next to a navy warship.

"Oh? It looks like Seleu and the others have arrived."

Ace also saw the very conspicuous flag of the red-haired pirates at a glance. He looked back and forth, not feeling anything wrong at all and looking very happy.

Marco couldn't help but sigh and rubbed his hair. Was he thinking too much or were these people too nervous?

After docking the boat on the shore, Marco and Ace finally landed on the island

The receptionist guarding the port saw the two of them, checked the roster in his hand, and walked towards them enthusiastically.

"Two members of the Whitebeard Pirates, please come with me."

He seemed to be waiting for the two of them.

Along the way, the receptionist led them to the center of the town and briefly introduced the situation on the island to the two of them.

"The celebration lasted for five days, and the island is now divided into four areas. Area B is the treasure area, filled with rare treasures from all over the world, not only the Grand Line, but also various famous objects from all over the sea. You can find them all here. Area C is the amusement area. This year we have prepared amusement parks, arenas, casinos and other places for you to play. We have also newly introduced a very popular competition such as the turtle racing competition. Area D is the carnival. The district offers countless nightclubs and bars at night, and auctions during the day, which will definitely let you two relax.”

Speaking of Area C, the receptionist even deliberately winked at Ace. The look in his eyes made Ace press his hat in embarrassment.

"By the way, this year's special event 'FerventDesire' will also be held in Area D on the last night of the celebration."

Marco raised his eyebrows, burning desire?The name of this event doesn't sound very friendly to Ace.

He glanced at Ace's red-hot ear tips, and sighed in amusement.

While the three people were talking, they had passed through the outskirts of the town and entered the very luxurious central area.

“This is the end”

The receptionist pointed to the street in front of them that looked particularly busy at night.

"This is Area A, where all guests will live during the celebration. Your accommodation has been arranged. Please come with me."

They continued walking in, and the closer they got to the center, the deserted it became, but the architecture and layout of the streets became more and more exquisite.

“The housing in Area A is arranged in advance, and the guests who live closer to the center are more distinguished.”

The receptionist led them to the luxury hotel standing in the center of Area A.

"It's natural for big figures like these two not to be disturbed by outsiders."

With that said, they came to the two elevators in the center of the hotel lobby. One door of the two elevators had a skull logo on it, and the other had a seagull logo on it. Their purpose was clear at a glance.

Sure enough, Marco and Ace were guided into the elevator with the skull hanging on it. After the three of them stepped into the spacious space, the ladder automatically moved upward slowly.

"The rooms for you two are arranged on the 20th floor, and the entire suite on that floor is prepared for you two."

As the elevator was going up, the receptionist seemed to casually mention

"I am the manager of the reception department this time, and I am also responsible for receiving the two guests downstairs."

Then he smiled and stopped talking.

Marco noticed this confusing sentence and understood what he meant was that the red-haired group was on the 19th floor.

After all, the only pirates with the same status as them are the red-haired ones.

However, by arranging the forces of the two Yonko so closely and telling them specifically, could it be that they knew something?

While Marco was thinking, they had reached the 20th floor.

"Please feel free to call me if you need anything. I hope you two have a good time these days."

As he spoke, he took out a phone bug that was smaller than the normal size from his arms, with a big 20 written on it.

After delivering the phone bug to Marco, he bowed deeply, turned around and left on the elevator.

In front of you is a spacious entrance hall, with a golden door at the end. There is a microphone and a doorbell button next to the door. It seems to be for the convenience of people visiting.

"It will be late at night soon. We will postpone the visit to the red hair tomorrow. Let's go to bed early today."

Marco stepped forward and patted Ace on the shoulder. The phone in his hand buzzed near the door, and then the two of them walked into the door that opened automatically.

At the same time, downstairs

"Shanks~~~Let's go out and play~"

The little blond girl was holding a pillow in her arms, rolling back and forth on the large and soft bed, and coquettishly looking at the man sitting on the sofa.

Shanks walked to the bed and sat down, pulled her out of the tumbled mattress, and smoothed her messy hair.

"No, it's too late now. I'll go out with you tomorrow."

Seleustin was picked up by Shanks, pouting very unhappily, with blush on her cheeks.

She suddenly picked up the pillow in her arms and slapped Shanks on the head.

"Hahahahaha, pillow fight!"

Seeing that her attack hit the target, a few feathers flew out from the soft pillow. With a pair of misty blue eyes, the little girl happily jumped from the bed onto Shanks, and the two landed on the carpet together.

Shanks caught her helplessly and watched as she rode on his waist and tried to continue attacking with pillows.

The little girl, who was not restless at all, had just smoothed her hair and became messy again. Her eyes were a little misty, but she was in great spirits. The smell of alcohol hit her face, and Shanks quickly hugged her waist. , to prevent her from falling to the ground

In just a moment, another scented feather pillow came to me.

So, how did it become like this?

The cause of the matter must start this afternoon

The Foss actually arrived neither early nor late. The next day was the celebration, and almost everyone who was supposed to come had already arrived.

So a group of people on the shore watched in stunned silence as the Yonko's ship parked majestically next to a warship.

Although the navy and pirates cannot attack each other on the island, please be more careful about your distance!

Of course Shanks couldn't hear the thoughts of the onlookers on the shore. It would be better to say that even if he heard it, he wouldn't pay attention to it.

Seleustin figured it out. On the surface, this man seemed very reliable, but in fact he was extremely willful.

A group of crew members disembarked, and a man wearing a black suit and an exaggerated smile on his face walked towards them. He seemed to be here specifically to receive them.

Listening to the receptionist's introduction along the way, Seliu was extremely curious and wanted to rush out immediately and go shopping now.

Especially area D!Nightclubs and bars were all places that Seleu had never heard of. He watched the receptionist raise his eyebrows at Shanks and the others, saying that they would definitely be able to relax and enjoy themselves. Maybe those were very high-end and comfortable places.

When the time comes, I have to go and have fun no matter what.

In this way, they arrived at the hotel all the way, and the receptionist led them all to the elevator.

The 15th to 19th floors are all prepared for the red-haired pirates. Originally, not many people came out this time, and some crew members stayed on the ship.

Who to live on the same floor suddenly became a fatal problem. The brotherhood was broken up very suddenly. Everyone disliked me for snoring and I disliked you for talking in your sleep. However, everyone really wanted to be with the very well-behaved (?) Seleus. Ting lives on the first floor

Of course, no one could compete with Shanks in the end. It is said that in order to prevent Shanks from having any inappropriate behavior towards the little girl, Beckman's mother stepped forward resolutely and obtained the right to occupy the 19th floor, so Beckman, Shanks, and Seleustin occupied the top 19 floors. Lucky and Jesus could only silently continue to find fault with the floors and their roommates.

The way they are picky is also very special. Anyway, there is already a master on the 19th floor, so they just go up there and get drunk and fight for the chance to choose roommates.

Seliu sat cross-legged on the soft carpet, watching them complete this series of illogical thinking processes with a blank expression. Now a group of people were staggering around drinking on the 19th floor, not knowing who was the last one. fallen

A bottle suddenly rolled to her feet

She picked up the bottle. The pink bottle was very beautiful. When she took off the cap and smelled it, a very sweet smell seemed to rush directly to her brain along the tip of her nose.

Seliu very vigilantly took a glass and poured out the liquid in the bottle. It was a white liquid like milk, with a little powder in it.

Well, I feel like I can drink it

Because his tongue couldn't taste the taste of alcohol, and because people tend to lose consciousness the next day when they're drunk, Shanks gave the little girl a ban on drinking alcohol if Shanks wasn't around.

Seleu glanced around but didn't see Shanks.

This sweet thing looks more like fruit milk, so it’s probably not wine. It’s fine.

With that in mind, I drank a glass of wine

When Shanks and Beckman sent the drunk Jesus back, they saw a red-faced and extremely excited little girl sitting on the ground, with a very high alcohol content in her hand.

"Shanks~ let's go out and play!"

Everyone knows what happened next.

The cold touch between his lips suddenly awakened Shanks, who was pressed on the carpet by Seleu and was still in memories.

He opened his eyes in shock, looking at the enlarged face in front of him

He could clearly see Seliu's closed eyes, slightly trembling golden eyelashes, and the straight bridge of his nose.

The long golden hair fell on his ears and intertwined with his red hair.

The long hair seemed to slide gently over his heart, making the tip of his heart itch.

The lips that had just been drunk were very moist, with a hint of sweet fragrance, and they pressed against Shanks' lips.

The tip of my nose was suddenly surrounded by the smell of Seleustin, just like the morning when Shanks woke up with Seleucid in his arms.

The whole nasal cavity is filled with this sweet smell

He didn't dare to move. He carefully felt the cold softness between his lips, but his arms tightened around the slender waist of the person on his body.

Seliu just pressed her lips against his, closed her eyes, and her breathing gradually became soft and slow.

Shanks held one hand on the ground, and the other hand protected Seyu's waist, and slowly sat up.

Even though they were already off the ground, their lips were still tightly pressed together.

Shanks slowly withdrew and took the little girl who fell down softly due to loss of support into his arms.

He picked her up gently and put her on the bed that had been rolled over by the drunken girl.

Shanks turned off the light, sat on the edge of the bed, and looked at her through the moonlight outside the window.

The little girl still seemed to want to hold something to sleep with. A pair of hands were randomly groping around her side. Shanks took the pillow next to her and handed it over.

The little girl grabbed the soft pillow and refused to let go. Half of her little face was buried in the pillow, vaguely reminding Shanks of the way she was pressed against his chest and close to his arms.

He brushed the hair out of her eyes and sighed inaudibly.

After exiting Seleu's room, Shanks walked towards his own room.

I remembered the kiss just now that couldn't be called a kiss

Shanks knew that Seleustine would not remember what happened the previous night the day after he was drunk, but at this moment he suddenly hoped

she can remember
