Chapter3

Fruit x Drunk x Shanks

——What is fate?

Maybe he was desperately trying to escape but couldn't?

No, my destiny is that from the moment I saw you, from the moment I began to fall, I never wanted to leave you again.

Even if I know I can't escape, as long as it's you

Then I am willing

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

The pirates' party lasted until night

Everyone gathered around the dining table and drank from their glasses

Occasionally, I gather a bunch of music that is humming out of tune. It may be out of tune, or it may be just a few lines of impromptu humming.

Just watching them partying gives me an infectious excitement

Happy, excited, and throwing away worries, this is probably the true portrayal of Xiaojuan's current mood.

"Speaking of the one I got a while ago."

Jesus took a sip of wine and ran to the side to rummage around.

Bang!

A box was thrown on the table, attracting the attention of everyone at the table

Xiaojuan curiously leaned over to see what was in the box.

Those are four golden apples

"Wow! Golden! It's the first time I've seen a golden apple!"

Someone shouted from behind

"This is the legendary 'golden apple' that can heal pain with just one bite! A dream fruit whose price on the black market is comparable to that of devil fruits!"

Jesus explained

It turns out that the red-haired pirates were going to the New World Island before picking up Komaki, just for this golden fruit.

"Healing injuries? Is it so magical? Can all kinds of injuries be cured?"

Xiaojuan asked curiously

"That's what the legend says anyway."

Shanks said nonchalantly

"Actually, I just thought it was fun, so I went there hahahaha."

He laughed, as if getting the legendary "golden apple" was an easy and completely fun thing.

Beckman glanced at him, suddenly grabbed an apple and stuffed it into Shanks' mouth.

"Well!!!"

Then he calmly watched Shanks swallow the apple hard.

"Beckman, are you planning to rebel?"

"Captain Idiot"

Beckman glanced at Shanks' left hand

In fact, everyone was holding their breath and staring at Shanks' left arm.

"What are you doing? I don't feel anything."

Seeing that Shanks' left arm didn't move for a long time, everyone sighed in disappointment.

Shanks smiled cheerfully and seemed to have little interest in growing back his left arm.

"It seems that some people say that the healing power of golden apples is possible."

Jesus smiled bitterly

"But it still tastes good. Do you want to try one, Xiaojuan?"

You obviously swallowed it whole, how could you taste it?

Xiaojuan couldn't help but complain

"Anyway, if it doesn't necessarily work, I'll give it a try."

Beckman suddenly spoke up

Xiao Juan glanced at them and understood the seriousness behind their jokes.

You're obviously worried about my health, so if you have to find any excuse, it's a bad excuse like taste.

She lowered her eyelids, smiled bitterly and sweetly, reached out and tucked a strand of golden hair behind her ear, revealing her red-hot ears.

Reaching out to take the golden apple from Jesus, Xiaojuan looked at it. The golden apple looked very beautiful.

She stuffed it into her mouth silently

"Gao"

"Wait a minute!" "Wait a minute, Juan-chan!" "Don't eat the little roll yet!"

She stared blankly at the panicked people around her

Then a beautiful face wrinkled together instantly

It tastes terrible!What is this!Smells like rotten meat wrapped in leather and mud

Xiao Juan swallowed it with force, turned around and grabbed the cup in front of him and drank it all in one gulp.

"Huh~burp~" I drank up the glass of juice in one gulp. As expected, the taste of this golden apple was so terrible that even the taste of the juice changed.

Xiao Juan put down his cup and looked at the scene where the people around him seemed to be still.

She suddenly felt her face was a little hot

"What happen to you guys?"

Shanks snatched most of the remaining apple from her hand

Um?Am I dazzled? Why are there circles on this apple?

"Will this apple bear the pattern of my eyebrows after I bite it?"

"puff!"

"Maki, this is not an apple! This is a devil fruit."

Devil Fruit?Xiaojuan tried hard to remember what this was.

Strangely enough, Xiaojuan's lost memory does not affect her common sense. Just like she knows how to dress, she remembers that the sky is above her head and the ship is below her feet. Occasionally, some unfamiliar terms come to her mind very quickly. will have the answer

"Someone, hurry up and get the devil fruit illustrated book!"

Shanks shouted in a panic, as nervous as if she had taken poison.

"Don't be so nervous..."

"After eating the devil fruit, you can no longer touch the sea water! If the fruit's power is not good, it will really be over."

She heard someone shout that

"That's it"

Xiao Juan stared at the group of people working in front of him, feeling that his gaze was getting straighter and straighter, and his cheeks were getting hotter and hotter.

He picked up a bottle and poured some transparent juice, then Xiaojuan held the cup and drank it.

Well, as expected, the golden apple is too unpalatable. The taste of the juice cannot be changed. Maybe my tongue is damaged.

Beckman over there has already taken the illustrated book and started studying it.

Just now they watched helplessly as the golden apple in the little girl's hand grew curling spiral patterns, but they didn't have time to stop her from eating it.

Speaking of which, this is the first time I have seen the reincarnation of a devil fruit.

Devil Fruits will return to the sea after the last ability user dies and be reincarnated as ordinary fruits.

(Word: See the Punk Hassard chapter for details. When Caesar released the poisonous gas, a Devil Fruit was reincarnated in an ordinary apple)

Shanks was anxious next to Beckman

"Golden...golden...ah! I found it, the superhuman dream fruit."

"Dream Fruit? What is that?"

Xiaojuan asked doubtfully

"The specific ability is unknown, tsk"

Beckman clicked his tongue impatiently.

"Oh, it doesn't matter. You have to discover your abilities slowly by yourself, hahahahaha."

Shanks seems to be afraid that I will be dissatisfied. Speaking of which, there is indeed no fruit user in the entire red-haired pirate group.

Could it be that he has a psychological shadow over Devil Fruits or something?

This question was answered after Xiaojuan met Bucky in the future.

Xiaojuan raised her head and drank all the liquid in the cup. When she was about to reach out to pour it again, Beckman pulled her back.

"Juan, what have you been drinking since just now?"

Xiaojuan blinked in confusion, with two big blushes on his fair face, and slowly pulled out a smile.

"juice!"

No!No matter how you look at it, it’s not juice!

Shanks looked at Beckman's face getting darker and darker with black lines on his head, and quickly came out to smooth things over.

"Well, Xiao Juan isn't a child anymore. It's okay to drink once in a while..."

His voice became smaller and smaller, and his tone became more and more guilty.

Yes, the wine glass that Komaki raised at first belonged to Shanks. Shanks also saw it when he was pouring the wine later. He just didn't stop him.

Xiao Juan held up the empty cup and shook it. He weighed the cup in the air and looked at Shanks pitifully.

"there is none left…"

Her long blond hair was somewhat messy on her shoulders, her curly eyebrows were tightly knitted, her pink lips were pouty, and her big blue eyes were half-opened in a hazy manner.

There were sounds of swallowing from several places on the ship.

Shanks didn't dare to talk to him. Seeing that the little girl was drunk, Beckman started to shoot out the daggers one by one as if he wanted to kill someone.

"That's it for today, let's all disperse."

Seeing that there were still several people who were unwilling to leave, they were staring at Xiaojuan.

"Captain, we can take her back to the cabin."

Shanks and Beckman frowned at the same time

"I will send her back personally"

Shanks glanced at these people

"Xiaojuan is our companion, I don't want to see anyone neglect her"

The faint sense of oppression in the words was very strong. The men turned pale, nodded and staggered away.

Xiaojuan lay slumped on the table, muttering something he didn't know what he was talking about.

Shanks helplessly lifted her up, held her in his arms, and helped her towards her room.

"My ancestor, who will dare to let you drink in the future?"

he smiled wryly

Pirates do things at will and without any rules, and they never control their physical desires.

But Shanks was still very unhappy when that kind of unscrupulous looking gaze appeared on Komaki.

Probably because we are companions

With this thought in mind, he brought Xiao Juan closer to his arms.

When they arrived at Xiaojuan's room, Shanks put him on the bed and turned around to leave.

As a result, a weak force grabbed his clothes

He looked back and saw that the little girl's blond hair was messy and scattered behind her head, and she tightly grasped his clothes with one hand.

Shanks was dumbfounded and wanted to pry her hand away. Just when he leaned down, Komaki suddenly used force to pull him onto her body.

Shanks stiffly let Xiao Juan hold his neck, and the smell of alcohol hit his face.

He wanted to break free, but found that this girl was incredibly strong. If he had used more force, he might have woken her up.

There was no other way. Shanks stiffened his body, hoping to wait until she fell asleep in the middle of the night before letting him go.

The room was so quiet that I could hear my own heartbeat.

Shanks used the moonlight to see clearly the person buried in his chest, his slightly drunken red cheeks, his blue talking eyes now tightly closed, his golden eyelashes trembling from time to time, and his cute eyebrows curled occasionally. Shake it too

He smiled and reached out his hand to brush away the hair covering her eyes.

Suddenly he heard what she was saying, and he concentrated on listening.

"Seliu...very well-behaved..."

"Don't go..."

Seleu?Shanks' initially confused nerves suddenly became tense. Who is Seyu and what is Komaki's original name?

After waiting for a while, there was no movement from Xiaojuan.

Shanks looked at her, she looked as beautiful as a fairy under the moonlight

Thinking of her trembling in his arms that day

"If it's that kind of memory, it's better not to remember it."

He mumbled something lowly and slowly closed his eyes.

The moonlight shines on the two people embracing each other. The tall red-haired man carefully holds the blond girl in his arms. The girl's arms are holding the man, with a happy smile on her face.

Then she called softly

——"Marco"
