[ONE PIECE] The daily life of Shura field in four eyes

Chapter28

Confrontation x companionship x rose

——The beginning of the story

You come to me with a bouquet of flowers in your hand

Clean and bright, brilliant and bright

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

Shanks leaned in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, folding his arms and looking at the town downstairs that looked particularly prosperous at night.

There was no light on in Nuo Da's room, and his expression was a little unclear against the background of the brightly lit city.

"Haven't you come back yet?"

Beckman's voice came from behind, with a hint of anxiety in his tone.

Shanks didn't speak, just shook his head lightly.

"She may not come back"

He knew how much Seliu longed to retrieve her lost memories. If it was like what he heard during yesterday's conversation, then they were her real family.

Once they find her, Seleucid, Seleustin will most likely not come back

"Are you really going to let them take her away like this?"

Beckman strongly disagreed with this. When they came back last night, they had a dispute over this reason.

"It has nothing to do with my wishes, everything is Seleustin's decision"

Yes, the little girl’s full name is Seleutine

Shanks still remembers his contact with two people from the Whitebeard Pirates yesterday. During the conversation, a man named Marco said this.

"Seleucid is not her real name, Seleustin is"

He seemed to miss it very much. When he said this, his eyes that looked to nowhere seemed to have traveled through time and space and saw their past.

"That's the name I gave her"

Shanks clenched his fists

"As long as she doesn't leave the Red Forth for a day, she will be my partner."

He answered Marco then, but Ace, who was sitting on the other side of the sofa, suddenly asked

"What if she wants to leave?"

Shanks didn't answer his question, stood up and exited this smokeless confrontation.

Yes, what if she wants to leave?

This is an unsolvable problem

Shanks closed his eyes. He actually didn't quite understand how he felt about Seleu.

It was he who rescued her on the ship, who accepted her into this big family, and who has always protected her, fearing that she would be wronged.

The reasons that drove him to do these actions were unknown until that day when the little girl was drunk and gave him an unexpected kiss that could not be called a kiss.

Shanks always thought that it would take a long time, and one day he would understand his feelings, and she would stay in the place closest to him, where she could reach out and hug her, waiting for him to make a choice.

Now it seems that there may be no time

Ding-

The doorbell rang suddenly. Shanks opened his eyes in surprise and walked quickly towards the door.

As he approached, the golden door slowly opened

Behind the door is a little golden head

"Shanks"

She still smiled as she did when she left in the morning and called him by his name affectionately.

"I came back late and made you worry."

As she said this, she walked closer to him, and then, as he expected, she stood where he could reach out and hug him.

Shanks didn't even think about it. He followed his own will and stretched out his arms to wrap the lost little girl into his arms.

Seliu was a little confused. What happened today? Is the way to say hello a hug?

She pushed Shanks gently, signaling for him to let go of her

Marco, who was following her, looked very confused when he saw the red-haired man hugging Seleustin.

Shanks let go of Seleustin and raised his eyes to meet Marco.

The small space was instantly filled with a sense of tension.

"Cough...that..."

Seliu looked at the silent confrontation between the two of them and felt a little guilty for some reason.

"Seliu, please go back first."

Marco suddenly spoke, looking at her with a pair of eyes and smiling, and his warm and dry hands lovingly rubbed her golden hair.

Shanks watched silently. After Marco retracted his hand, he raised his hand to tuck the little girl's messy long hair hanging on her chest behind her ears.

"go to bed early"

He told Seliu so, his tone was full of tenderness.

For some reason, Seleustin suddenly felt that something bad might happen if she stayed any longer. She nodded obediently, turned around and quickly returned to her room.

"She will follow me back to the Moby Dick after the Carnival."

Listening to Marco's declaration of sovereignty, Shanks smiled.

"It's just temporary, isn't it? She will eventually come back to my ship."

Seryu is back tonight, which means that in her heart, the Red-haired Pirates are her current home. Even if she leaves temporarily for the sake of memory, she will return to him sooner or later.

Marco frowned slightly when he saw his reaction.

"She used to be my lover"

After saying this with a warning, he turned and walked towards the elevator.

At the last moment when the elevator door was about to close, Shanks' provocative words were clearly conveyed to Marco.

"So what, as long as her heart is still on the Foss, Seleu is mine."

The door closed and Marco punched the wall. Things were more difficult than he imagined.

"Red hair!"

Shanks here is still staring at the empty entrance, with a solemn expression and firm eyes.

"Before I figured out what I wanted."

"I won't give her up to anyone"

Seleu is undoubtedly longing for memories.

The feeling of blankness and emptiness is not a direct pain to the heart, but it reminds you all the time with various senses of immediate visibility and dissonance.

You lost something and you have to get it back

When Shanks first picked him up on the ship, Seleu could not even speak with a sense of ambiguity, as if this body was a machine that had been in disrepair, and Seleu could not help but feel strange to him.

So I want to search, to find the reason why I became like this, to find the person I was before I forgot everything.

In that case, at least you will temporarily forget the emptiness of facing loss because you have a certain desire in your heart that you want to fulfill.

But today, when Marco suddenly appeared with an aura that felt inexplicably familiar to her, she found that she was confused and confused about where to go after finding the memory.

After completing this wish that has always been my support, what should I do?

When people feel confused about their future path, people occasionally fall into this dilemma

Whether you are lost or find your way again, it is probably destiny, and it is not a problem that can be solved by worrying now.

Seliu did not turn on the light. In the darkness, she buried herself in the soft bed and gave up thinking.

How did you say that?There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, right?

I just hope it’s not a fork in the road...otherwise I’ll get lost

Thinking like this, Selustine gradually relaxed and fell into a deep sleep.

Early the next morning, Seliu rubbed his eyes sleepily, went out of the room with a messy head of hair, and arrived at the dining table to start having breakfast.

"Seliu, where do you want to go today?"

Shanks, who was beside him, held his face with his left hand, and went around the back of Seleu's head with his right hand, helping her straighten her messy hair.

"Hmm...let me think"

Seliu held up the silver fork, mechanically picked up a piece of ham and stuffed it into his mouth.

"I saw the water park when I went to Area C yesterday. Let's go there today."

As if she suddenly remembered something, she patted her cheek and felt quite awake.

"Water? Seryu, you must have forgotten that users with abilities cannot touch sea water, right?"

"This is why I must go."

Holding the fork in her mouth, she suddenly moved closer to Shanks, like a child who saw his favorite toy.

"I heard that the organizers went to great lengths to use purified water that is almost edible to build this park! People like me can also go into the water!"

Shanks suddenly discovered that the little girl still liked the sea. It seemed that eating the devil fruit by mistake made her somewhat concerned.

"Okay, let's go"

He smiled and looked at her intently. The sunlight shone through the floor-to-ceiling windows on the two people at the dining table, making it particularly warm.

Shanks is acting weird today. Did something happen somewhere that I don't know about?

Selustine put down her fork and tilted her head

I always feel like...the atmosphere has changed a bit.

Holding on to his large sun hat, Seleu followed Shanks, and the two slowly strolled all the way to the entrance of the water park.

"Hey, Shanks"

"If, I mean if, I wanted to leave the Foss for a few days, would you feel unhappy?"

She gradually slowed down and looked at the tall figure in front of her on the left. The dazzling red color occupied the center of her sight.

"Didn't I tell you when you first boarded the ship, just do whatever you want to do, and come back to the Foss when you are tired. We will always support you and protect you from behind."

The red-haired man's deep voice suddenly became gentle, and passed into Seliu's ears along with the summer breeze, and a long warm current filled his heart.

"So don't worry"

He stopped and reached out to press the hat on Seliu's head.

"We are partners, it doesn't matter if you rely on me any more."

Seleustin smiled, with a gentle and understanding expression on her cheeks hidden by the brim of her hat.

"Oh, got it"

A little girl who had been watching them for a long time stepped forward as if she had finally plucked up the courage.

"Then...well, sir, do you want to buy a flower for your girlfriend?"

Eh?girlfriend?What girlfriend?

Seliu looked at the roses that the little girl in front of him was holding out tremblingly, and he was stunned on the spot.

"Ah, I want all the flowers in this basket."

Shanks beside him didn't seem to think anything was wrong at all, and he bought the large bouquet of flowers very smoothly.

Seleustin turned her head and looked at him with surprise

The little girl who received the money had a happy smile on her face and jumped away. It seemed that the small reason of selling all the flowers was enough to make her smile happily.

"Well, just think of it as helping that kid."

Gently handing a large bouquet of flowers to Seliu who had not recovered yet, Shanks had a big smile on his face.

"And didn't I say I would give you flowers before? Just accept them, Seleustin."

This seemed to be the first time Shanks called her by her full name. She obviously hadn't had time to tell Shanks what the full name she had just learned was.

Sure enough, he knew it

Seliu took the flower and pursed his lips.

Seeing Seleu holding a large bouquet of roses that was very scattered because there was no packaging, Shanks suddenly felt a little distressed. Then he snatched the roses back from Seleu's hand and ran in the direction he came from.

"I'll be back soon. Seliu, you can play by yourself first. I'll find you later."

Seliu stretched out his hand towards his back and opened his lips as if he wanted to say something.

Idiot, there are so many people here, how are you going to find me?

Seliu sighed, expecting that Shanks wouldn't take too long, so he should just find a project to play nearby, so that he should be able to see him when he comes back.

Thinking like this, Seliu's eyes were fixed on the high slide with water behind him.

This seems to be quite famous. Let's go and try it.

It should be to take care of different guests' body shapes. The slide is very wide, with a small curvature and relatively flat edges.

The moment she stood at the entrance of the slide, Seliu suddenly thought about what she would do if the force of the running water was too strong and she flew out along the edge of the slide halfway. The person behind him poked her dissatisfiedly and motioned her to hurry up.

Well, it shouldn't be a problem, right?

With this thought in mind, she got on the slide. However, the previous customer who slid down before her was so huge that it was no bigger than a bear, so the staff increased the impact of the water in order to prevent him from getting stuck halfway. The equipment hadn't been adjusted yet when Seleustin came up.

After that, what Seliu had just worried about happened unexpectedly.

The moment she flew out of the center of the chute, many solutions flashed through Seliu's mind. Just when she was about to use her blood to form a big net to catch her, she suddenly glanced at a red figure from the corner of her eye.

Seliu stopped moving, and the sunhat on her head was blown away by the oncoming airflow, revealing her blond hair that was shining in the sun. She seemed not to realize that she was about to face the crisis of falling to the ground from a high altitude, blue His eyes narrowed with a smile, and his lips formed a beautiful arc.

The next second, the red-haired man held a bouquet of beautifully packaged roses, jumped into the air, and took her into his arms.

Selustine naturally raised her arms and hooked them around his neck, seeming to giggle happily.

"Tsk, I just disappeared for a while, why did you get yourself into the sky? It's very dangerous, Seliu."

"Eh? Where is it?"

The two of them landed on the ground. Seleu held the bouquet of roses carefully wrapped in beautiful paper in his arms, while Shanks held her firmly with both hands.

Seleu moved closer to the bouquet of roses, and his delicate white face seemed to be dyed the same red as Shanks' hair color under the reflection of the warm-colored roses.

"It's obviously Shanks, you came back too late."

As she said this, she raised her eyes to look at Shanks, her curly eyebrows raised in pleasure, and there was a sly smile on the corner of her mouth.

Shanks looked at the little girl in his arms, and suddenly realized that those blue eyes could become so hot, and it seemed to burn his heart in a daze.

Just like the bouquet of red roses he gave her

straightforward, passionate

Straight to the heart
