One Piece's Vice Captain 2

Chapter 77 Birthday Banquet

Chopper ignored the three people who were noisy and beating and killing outside, and seriously told Ayu, "The toxins in your body have not been completely eliminated, remember to take the medicine according to the prescription I gave you in the next few days. Remember not to Go drink the water from the river."

"En! Thank you doctor~", Ayu nodded happily, but after taking the prescription, she looked embarrassed.Now that she can't even afford food, how can she have money to buy medicine...

Brooke on the side saw her embarrassment, took the prescription in her hand with a smile and said, "It just so happens that we are going to the town later, so we will bring back the medicine for the past few days. You don't need to pay, Miss Ayu~”

"No, no, no! It's a shame for a samurai to accept money for no reason!" Ayu immediately snatched back the prescription, and took a few steps back as if afraid of being taken away by him again, "And I'm fine now, and I'm not You need to take such an expensive medicine!"

"No, it just looks better on the surface, and the toxins in the body still need to be recuperated." Chopper said seriously, "It is my principle to completely cure the patient, and I never charge for medical treatment. "

"Yeah, Mr. Chopper is a super powerful doctor, so don't worry about that." Brooke said with a smile, stretching out his hand to take the prescription back by taking advantage of the height difference.

"No hehe, you bastard~~", Chopper immediately twisted up happily when he heard the compliment, his face was full of joy but he said the opposite.

"Isn't this very happy..." Ayu stared blankly at the happy little reindeer, and suddenly there were two 'cuckoo' cries from her stomach, and she immediately spread her legs and walked towards the door after her face turned red Rushed, "river water river water!!!"

"Stop!!" Several people in the room hurriedly stopped her, and at the same time yelled, "I told you not to drink the river water!!"

At this time, Aju also brought a bowl of rice cake red bean soup and a cup of tea according to Ah He's order. The snow-white rice cake floated in the red red bean soup. appetite.

"..." Ayu's eyes were almost straightened, staring at the rice cake and red bean soup in front of him without blinking, and his mouth opened slightly uncontrollably.

Seeing her silly look, Ah He just smiled and said, "Let's eat."

"!!" After hearing this sentence, Ayu came to his senses instead, hurriedly moved away from the bowl of red bean soup and waved his hands desperately and said, "No, no, no, no! Please take it back, lady boss, I don't even have money for the medicine." I can’t afford it, let alone adzuki bean soup.”

While speaking, Ayu knelt down on the ground, and politely pushed the bowl of red bean soup back with both hands, although the growl from her stomach made her blush with shame.

Ah He was surprised, and then just smiled and said, "It's okay, you don't need to pay."

"No, I can't eat!" Even though she has been hungry for several days, Ayu still sticks to her principles and said seriously, "The proprietress and Aju must not have eaten well, so I can't eat!"

"It's okay with us, you can eat." Ah He continued to persuade, after all, children can't go hungry even more than their adults.

"No," Ayu, who insisted on his own opinion, still shook his head, pushed the ground with both hands to let himself slide back a certain distance while kneeling, and said seriously, "You have already helped me, and I still want to eat your food. I can not do it!"

"It's really okay, let's eat!", Ah He has been twitching recently, and she can hardly persuade her anymore.

"Really not!", Ah Yu continued to back away, but in the next second, Ah He grabbed his collar fiercely, and at the same time, Ah He, who was originally gentle, was completely blown up.

"The food brought out by the woman, you said 'I don't eat' and I said 'Okay', do you think it's really that simple?", shaking the little dot in his hand viciously, Ahe's fangs roared Said, "If you don't eat it, I'll sprinkle it on the street!!
"Oh, what a waste???", the bones on one side were frightened, and the next second he shamelessly picked up the small bowl, "Then I'm not welcome~"

"Get out!! Ah hit!!", Chopper instantly strengthened his soft power and kicked him away, caught the falling red bean soup and said fiercely to the old bone, "This is the red bean soup that the proprietress gave Ayu. Soup, you can't eat it!"

"That's right! Ayu, you should hurry up," Aju also persuaded, "Sister Ahe is someone who can't be pulled back once she speaks."

Ayu was stunned, and at the same time, the bowl of red bean soup was stuffed into her hand. After staring at the bowl of red bean soup for a while, she hesitated and nodded slowly, "Mmm..."

Ah He, who gradually calmed down, breathed out when he saw that she was finally willing to accept, put her down and said with a gentle smile, "You're welcome, Ah Yu. Just treat it as my birthday present to you~"

"Yeah! Birthday!", Chopper suddenly remembered this, and pulled her out after returning to the original state, "Come on, Enke specially prepared a birthday gift for you, just take it as a thank you Invite Luffy to eat~"

"Yohohoho~~ Musicians are needed even more at this time~~", thinking of his job, Brook took out the green shark guitar out of nowhere, and happily followed.

..........................................

Ayu sat down on the bench outside the teahouse, holding the steaming bowl of rice cake and red bean soup but didn't drink it.After the trouble, Lu Fei and the others also came over and sat near her. When they saw her staring at the bowl of red bean soup with reluctance, Lu Fei couldn't help but ask, "Aren't you going to eat it?"

"What a beautiful red bean soup, this is the first time I've seen it~~", Ayu picked up the warm bowl of red bean soup, and it was the first time since she was born that she truly felt that these precious foods were in her hands.

"Is this Ayu who invited you to dinner?" Anke tilted her head, and when she found her looking at him, she just smiled and said hello, "Hello~ I'm Anke~"

"...", Ayu was still a little frightened by the scene where she beat Sauron violently for a few minutes, she shrank her neck before noticing her different pupils, stared blankly for a while, and then said innocently with a smile , "Sister, your eyes are so beautiful~~"

An Ke froze for a moment, then just smiled softly.

"Right, right~", Luffy happily looked like Ayu was praising himself, then he reached out and gently turned Ayu's little head back to the front and said, "Hurry up and eat, it won't taste good when it's cold~"

"Yeah!" Ayu nodded vigorously, and after taking a sip of red bean soup cautiously, tears flowed down her cheeks. She kept the warm red bean soup in her mouth for a while before swallowing it reluctantly. The warm food coming down the esophagus made her shout excitedly, "It's super delicious!! Why is there such a delicious thing??"

Seeing her happy appearance, the people around also smiled.

Luffy looked at the simple bowl of red bean soup that can be found almost everywhere again, and couldn't help asking, "Is this the first time you eat it?"

"Yes~", Ayu smiled happily and narrowed his eyes happily after taking another sip of the soup cautiously.

"..." Seeing her happy face, Lu Fei's expression was a bit complicated. He remembered that Feiji had said that Ayu hadn't eaten for a few days, but he still gave him the precious rice to a stranger, even though he was hungry. Got to drink those poisonous rivers.

"Since it's this lovely lady's birthday, let me play a song~" Bone's fingers slid down a few notes on the strings, and then the cheerful melody of the birthday song sounded around the quiet teahouse.

"Listen well~~", Ayu kicked his legs happily, from time to time, he stared at Brook who was playing the guitar, and from time to time happily ate a mouthful of rice cake and red bean soup. Before he knew it, the bowl of red bean soup had bottomed out.

Anke looked at the simple cherry blossom hair ornament on Ayu's bun, then lightly raised her hand and waved it, and in an instant, the rain of pink cherry blossoms fell from the sky.At the same time, countless cherry trees full of flowers rose from the ground, and the pink area spread to the very edge.

"!!!", Ayu, who had never seen such a beautiful view, widened her eyes, and the beautiful cherry blossom rain kept falling, and it didn't take long for a thin layer to accumulate on the ground.

"This is!?!!!?!" Ahe and Aju, who had never seen such a magical scene before, were all stunned. .

Although the two of them are much older than Ayu, they have never seen such a beautiful scenery, let alone a few seconds ago, this was a dilapidated village. How come it turns into a fairyland like magic in the blink of an eye? ?

In the blink of an eye, the original gray sky has been replaced by a clear night sky full of stars. At the same time, gorgeous fireworks are also competing to bloom in the night sky, embellishing the already dreamy picture with fleeting beauty. .

At the same time, the sound of the fireworks blooming did not drown out the music played by Brooke, but they bloomed one by one as if stepping on the rhythm.

[Speaking of which, I don’t think I’ve ever held a birthday party for anyone, it’s almost like this.Let the cake look like the wedding cake of BIGMOM before...], Anke, who was in control of everything, was a little hesitant, and after waving his hand again, the cherry blossom petals on the ground automatically rotated, and the cherry blossom rain all over the sky gradually formed a huge birthday cake .

The pink cherry blossom petals faded gradually, and a luxurious cake with a height of tens of meters appeared in front of everyone. The sweet but not greasy fragrance, the gorgeous and delicate decoration, and the well-proportioned color all made people's index fingers move.

[I always feel that this cake looks familiar...], after Brook took a look at the cake, the original simple fingering suddenly became gorgeous and complicated, and at the same time, the originally brisk music became passionate and shocking.

Accompanied by the sound of the music, the luxurious cake suddenly exploded, and the scattered cream turned into various colorful flowers, and what replaced the cake were several boxes stacked together and tied with ribbons.

Surrounded by all kinds of flowers, the gift box floated in front of Ayu, and gently landed on Ayu's legs who were stunned there.

The sound of the music gradually became depressed, and at the same time, the gorgeous and beautiful illusion disappeared. Finally, with the cessation of the music, the illusion also shattered and disappeared, and the surrounding environment also returned to the monotonous and dilapidated village before.

"..." Ayu, who couldn't recover for a long time, still opened his mouth wide in shock, and looked dumbfounded.And even with the heavy gift box on her lap, she couldn't recover from the beautiful scenery just now.

A He and A Ju, who were not far away, also stared wide-eyed with disbelief, as if they had been frozen in a daze.

Zoro, who had long been familiar with Encore's illusions, sighed, then waved his hand in front of the petrified Ayu, and seeing that she didn't respond, he said, "Hey, this little devil is stupid."

"The proprietress and Aju are also motionless..." Qiaoba looked at the two people who were still there, and then pointed to himself proudly, "This is basically the case for people who see Encore's illusion for the first time. It's like I'm used to it~"

"Yohohohoho~~ Seeing Miss Anke's illusion again after such a long time, it's really addictive~" Bones put the guitar back cheerfully, and turned towards Anke in the next second. Ke bent slightly and stretched out his hand in a gentlemanly manner, "I wonder if Miss Anke can let me see it after a long absence... ah!!!"

Bone, who hadn't finished speaking, immediately flew into the sky, and after landing, he stuck upside down on the ground in a standard posture.

A certain cat just flicked its hands back the crystal on the ground and snorted softly.

Ayu blinked slowly, finally woke up, as if in a dream, "Am I dreaming just now? What a beautiful scenery... I have never seen such a dreamy scenery..."

Ah He was a little calmer, but he still couldn't believe what he saw just now, "Just now the sky has turned into a starry sky at night, and there are fireworks and cherry blossoms. This is only available at the general's banquet. I can see..."

"It's really like a dream..." Aju, who was unexpectedly rich in knowledge, bent down to pick up the basin, and said with a smile, "I've heard a rogue from outside say that this kind of pottery can manipulate what others see. The power of scenery is called 'illusion', and now Kaido and the general are constantly recruiting powerful warlocks."

"So that's how it is..." Ah He nodded half-understanding, and then said with a smile, "I didn't expect this little girl to be so powerful. Young people nowadays really can't underestimate her~"

"Where, I only know a little bit~" Anke smiled softly, as if she was telling the truth shyly.

[Obviously you can be regarded as an ancestor in terms of illusion...] Sauron, Brook and Chopper on the side heard this, and their heads were covered with black lines, but they didn't dare to say it. After all, that cat is not ordinary. the terror of...

"Illusion? Dream..." Ayu, who couldn't understand at all, tilted her head. After feeling the weight on her leg, she lowered her head and looked at the gift box on her leg in a daze. "And is this also me dreaming?"

"No, this is a birthday present for you~", Anke said with a light smile, "Because of the rush of time, there is no time to prepare a present, so I just prepared some snacks, please don't mind~"

"Gifts? Desserts...", Ah Yu finally figured out what was going on now. Although she didn't know how the beautiful cherry blossom rain just appeared, she couldn't just accept other people's gifts for nothing.

After quickly jumping off the bench, Ayu bent down and handed the gift box back to Anke with both hands, and said seriously, "Thank you sister for using magical power to create fireworks to help me celebrate, I am already very touched! But I am a samurai You will not be rewarded for nothing! Please take back the gift! The little bean soup that Sister Ahe gave you just now is precious enough, not to mention that I cannot afford such an expensive gift!! Please take it back!"

Anke tilted her head, from Ayu desperately refusing the small bean soup that Ahe sent just now, it can be seen that although this child is very young, he has a valuable bottom line and principles in dealing with others, which is still rare among children of this age .

But it is precisely because of this kind of sensibility that it makes people feel more distressed. Obviously, children of this age should be carefree and should not work hard to live for the next meal.

[Speaking of what I was doing when I was eight years old...], looking at this eight-year-old child who bowed respectfully and bowed his head to hand back the gift box to him, Anke tried hard to recall what he was doing when he was eight years old, recalling She couldn't help feeling a little guilty when she got up.At that time, the life she lived couldn't be called a life at all, and it was a miracle that she was able to live until now...

Seeing her expression, Luffy already guessed what she was thinking. Every time Encore met those children, he would worry that she would remember the cruel past when she was a child.

That past shaped Encore today, but it couldn't stop their distress.So everyone in the pirate group subconsciously pampered her as a child. I have to say that the current capriciousness of the deputy captain is all caused by their pampering, and they even have a great sense of accomplishment~
Then Luffy just reached out and touched Ayu's head, and said with a smile, "You don't need to be so polite, Ayu. Today is your birthday, of course you need to receive a birthday gift~"

"Yes, and these are not expensive gifts. They are filled with snacks, but the box looks expensive." Anke also said with some amusement. When Gloria came out to see her last time, she was worried that her little The apprentice was having a bad time, so he specially brought countless snacks and clothes to her, and even specially created a place in the space of the sixth road to store them.

"And didn't you call me big brother? It's okay to be a big brother to give you a gift~" Luffy finally thought of a reason cleverly, and pushed the gift box in Ayu's direction, and then looked forward to it. Said, "Hurry up and open it~ I seem to have smelled delicious~"

Knowing that he could no longer refuse, Ayu straightened up hesitantly, but still asked uncertainly, "Can I really accept it?"

"Of course, it was originally prepared for you." Enke just smiled lightly, not to mention that these snacks were not very expensive gifts in the first place.

"Thank you everyone!!" Ayu happily ran to the bench, but stopped suddenly when she was about to open the gift box. After picking up the gift box again, she just smiled happily, "I won't open it now~ I want to go back and open it with the master. I feel a little sorry that I couldn’t give him the little bean soup just now, so I want to share the surprise of opening the present with him~”

Hearing her sensible words, all the people present were moved, and the bones with low tears even burst into tears. Ah He also wiped the wet corners of his eyes with his sleeve.
