[One Piece] Exquisite alone

At night, the Straw Hats are stationed in the desert.

"I'm so hungry~~"

"Don't act like you've just been released from the starvation prison!" Sanji slapped Luffy's hand that secretly took the food, "...it's still raw, don't eat it!"

"Miss Nami~~It will be ready soon, wait a little longer~" Chef Color turned his head and looked like a nympho again.

Usopp: "It looks delicious."

Sanji stood by the fire to prevent the group of foodies from stealing, "Don't touch it!"

Luffy: "What does it matter, you're really stingy."

Sanji: "Anyway, don't get close!!"

Ace sat on a stone beside him, watching his younger brother's daily life in silence, living in harmony with his companions, and Luffy really grew up.

The good brother who forcefully ignored his younger brother and was repaired in various ways looked relieved, so that he could rest assured.

Even without his brother, Luffy can go forward with his companions.

Everyone has their own adventures and journeys, it seems that he doesn't have to worry about the discomfort of his silly brother in the sea.

"It's so hot during the day, what's going on?" Nami surrounded the fire, shivering from the cold even so.

When Xia Lan saw it, she began to think about it, and took out various warm coats.

Weiwei said to Nami while baking her hands, "In this desert without sunshade, the daytime will be scorchingly hot, and the night will drop below zero and be unbearably cold."

Then he took the coat Xia Lan handed over, "Fortunately, there is Xia Lan, otherwise I would have suffered a lot during the day, and the situation is much better than I imagined."

"That's right, the temperature is so high during the day." She put on several layers of clothes, feeling the warmth of her body, Nami sighed, "Aren't you cold, Xia Lan? Just wear one."

"It's not cold." Xia Lan shook her head and replied, "This ability is cloud, so I'm not afraid of cold or hot."

Such a convenient ability, Nami once again deeply felt the omnipotence of Xia Lan's ability.

On a clear night, the sky is full of stars, like countless silver beads, densely inlaid in the dark night, and the Milky Way is like a faintly glowing white belt, across the star-studded sky.

"Ah, what a beautiful star!"

The colder weather, which causes discomfort to others, also brings coolness to the baby reindeer, who lies on the ground with the stars shining brightly in his clear deer eyes.

Usopp was speechless, "Didn't you also see the stars when you were in Winter Island?"

Chopper's eyes shone with a beautiful and quiet starlight, "The sky over Winter Island has been covered by thick clouds, and it's the first time I've seen so many stars."

After finishing speaking, the little reindeer secretly laughed as if eating honey, and his round eyes were so beautiful that they narrowed into a slit.

Usopp hugged his hands and legs, nestled in a corner sheltered from the wind, "I'm not interested in looking at the stars at all right now."

Chopper was happy at this time, because the long nose made him shed his hair during the day, "I'm not afraid of the cold at all."

"After all, you're wearing such warm fur!" Usopp hugged the little reindeer, rubbing against his furry body.

"Hey, don't come near me!"

"Who made you hairy."

"Don't underestimate the reindeer!" Chopper turned into a human form again, yelling at Usopp.

"Ah! A monster!" It's enough to behave like this all the time, Usopp.

Zoro woke up from his doze, "Chopper, don't get so big, it's not warm anymore."

There was a sound of footsteps, and Lu Fei jumped to embrace Chopper's shrunken body, "It's so warm."

"You guys! Don't keep hugging Chopper to keep warm, let's see what he looks like." Xia Lan pulled the mosquito-eyed little reindeer out of Lu Fei's arms, and hugged him distressedly.

Luffy didn't want Nuannuan to leave: "Because Chopper is very warm."

Usopp next to him also nodded in agreement with this sentence, and Xia Lan gave them a few jackets that he had specially picked out, "Isn't that all right? But, Luffy, you can't ruin my clothes anymore."

The cotton-padded jacket on Magnetic Drum Island before was really dead, and it was torn to pieces in the end.

"Okay!" Putting on his favorite red coat, Luffy was finally happy, and naturally Xia Lan could do whatever he wanted.

Zoro was given a dark green coat, and Usopp was also brown. Although each piece of clothing had patterns, it was darker so it didn't look particularly feminine.

Three coats were exchanged for a reindeer, and Xia Lan excitedly walked to the next destination with the cute and warm Chopper in her arms.

"Well, does Ace need a coat?"

The man in the orange cowboy hat withdrew his gaze and turned to the side. It was the magical girl.

"Ah, I didn't feel cold, but thank you anyway."

With that said, Ace turned his attention to his precious brother again.

Originally, Xia Lan planned to leave directly, but seeing the loneliness of Ace sitting alone in the dark...

"Is it the same with Luffy before?" Xia Lan smiled softly, "I don't know what other pirate ships look like, but the captain Luffy is also very strange."

"The captain of the entire pirate group is not like the captain, and the crew is not like the crew, but they are very comfortable in it."

At some point, Ace took his attention away from Luffy, "That's what Luffy did. It hasn't changed a bit since he was a child. Regardless of his virtue, there are always people around him."

"My younger brother is a guy with incredible charm." As he spoke, a gentle smile appeared on his brother's face.

Shocked by Ace's smile, Xia Lan murmured: "Actually, the first time we met, I never thought that you would be a brother-in-law."

"Brother-in-law? Haha." Ace couldn't help laughing, "I'm not a brother-in-law. How can I become a brother-in-law for someone who acts like Luffy? I'm just used to being a brother."

That's the case, but when you mention Luffy, Brother Ace, your eyes are much gentler, but since she doesn't want people to know, she naturally won't be so blind.

In the early morning, all sounds were silent, and the eastern horizon shone with a trace of light, carefully soaking the light blue sky, and a new day gradually moved in from afar.

"I found a lobster!"

Luffy's energetic voice woke up the silent desert, and the whole world woke up at this moment.

"Is this a lobster? It's amazing." Chopper stood not far away with a small body and looked curiously at the 'shrimp' in Luffy's hand.

"How could there be lobsters in the desert?" Usopp ran over and looked surprised, "Really, is this a desert lobster?"

Chopper exclaimed: "It's the first time I've seen a lobster."

Awakened by the noise, Xia Lan sat up on the soft cloud bed with difficulty, rubbed her eyes and took a closer look, "Is that a scorpion?"

Weiwei walked down at this time, and panicked when she saw it close up, "Lu Fei, throw away the scorpion in your hand, it is poisonous, and you will die if you get stung!"

"What, why can't you eat it?" Luffy suddenly lost interest, and handed the creature in his hand to Usopp: "It's really boring, I'll give it to you."

Usopp was frightened and took a few steps back to a safe distance, "Don't throw it to me!"

"Then throw it away." Before the words finished, Luffy turned back, and the scorpion disappeared.

Empress Weiwei patted her chest in fear: "Sorry, I should have told you earlier."

Chopper stood on a rock, looking into the distance, with a serious and sincere expression: "Something is coming."

At this time, the others also got off the cloud bed and stretched themselves.

Ace put on his cowboy hat, keenly sensed something strange in the air, and asked suspiciously, "Is it windy?"

Weiwei's expression gradually became serious, and finally she shouted: "Everyone, take refuge in the shadow of the rock!"

"what happened?"

Weiwei: "There is a storm! The desert storm is coming!!"

Looking up, a gust of sandy wind came from the far north, and immediately dyed the blue sky into a grayish-yellow color.All the scenery changed color, and the shadow of the sun could not be seen.The sky above the head seems to be gradually becoming heavy, weighing down, trying to press down on the head of man.

Luffy lowered his straw hat to prevent it from being blown away by the strong wind, and kept complaining, "Why are there always storms in the desert?"

Weiwei: "I forgot to tell you that Desert Storm is also one of the desert killers."

Is this easily forgotten?Usopp shouted speechlessly: "You should have said it earlier!"

After Xia Lan saw where everyone was, she raced against time to protect everyone with Yun Duo to prevent anyone from getting hurt.

After finally wrapping everyone up, the storm was approaching, she hurriedly wrapped herself into a ball, and after a long time of violent shaking, the whole world fell silent.

"Hmm!"

Xia Lan tried to get out of the desert, because the storm just now had a lot of sand on her body.

"Are you OK?"

Suddenly a hand with well-defined joints stretched out in front of her eyes, and then pulled her up involuntarily.

"Ace?" Xia Lan glanced at the man in front of her in surprise, then shook her head and said, "I'm fine, after all, Baiyun is protecting me."

Standing up with that slender and powerful arm, Xia Lan curled her mouth, "Thank you, Ace."

"It's not a big deal, and I should be the one thanking you." After all, it was the soft clouds that protected everyone in the end.

"This is what I should do." Xia Lan patted the sand on her body.

"What happened all of a sudden?" Sauron pulled his body out of the sand and helped Wei Wei, "I still slept soundly."

Sanji supported Nami and stood out from a corner, and even Luffy and the others emerged from the desert one by one.

The Straw Hats are all safe and sound.

On the endless desert, those two familiar clouds were still slowly moving forward. Fortunately, in order not to occupy the position of the clouds, Xia Lan put all the supplies into the hut.

In order to reach Yuba earlier, they just had a simple breakfast and set off on the road.

Feeling that the surrounding scenery was too monotonous and boring, Luffy became hungry not long after, "Hey, Sanji, let's eat bento, pirate bento!"

I don't understand what logic is this?Luffy's unique logic...

"Not yet, we need Weiwei's approval." Except for Weiwei, everyone else didn't know about the itinerary, so Sanji rejected Luffy's suggestion without hesitation.

Lu Fei leaned over to Weiwei's side, acting coquettishly, "Weiwei, let's eat lunch~ I'm going to starve to death."

Weiwei: "But now it's less than a third of the way to Yuba, Luffy."

"You are so stupid, there is such a proverb," ​​Lu Fei confidently instilled his way of thinking into her, "Eat when you are hungry!"

Xia Lan, who was sitting on the side, couldn't help but burst out laughing, Luffy is such a treasure, how does his brain grow.

Usopp leaned on the back of the chair made of clouds, and complained to Luffy: "You are lying to a ghost, I have never heard such a proverb!"

Weiwei also covered her mouth and laughed, and said loosely, "How about letting you eat when we see the next rock pile?"

"Okay!" Lu Fei was full of energy in an instant, turned his head and said, "Xia Lan, we are heading towards the rock!"

Xia Lan clutched her forehead weakly, feeling her temples throbbing non-stop, "Okay, I understand, you can wait at ease."

Luffy settled down again, sat at the front and stared at the front with piercing eyes, holding his bento in his hand, and opened it to eat as soon as he found a rock.

"It's really hard for you guys." Ace said softly, but the smile in his tone was too obvious.

Xia Lan breathed a sigh of relief, "It's okay, once you get used to it, you won't have to work hard."

The point is that she feels that she will never get used to it!
