Vice Captain of One Piece

Chapter 116 The Witch with Her Own Plan

Encore, who had dealt with Raphael, breathed a sigh of relief, and when he put the fork back on the plate, he was about to speak when he heard an explosion 'boom' from the corner on Usopp's side.When everyone looked over curiously, they found that Usopp, who was covered in black and gray, coughed and waved his hands to disperse the smoke around him, and there was a poor soul lock disk that had been completely dismembered lying on the ground.

Looking at the smoke and smelling the faint fragrance in the air, Anke frowned slightly, and stretched out his hand to press his left eye, which started to react to these strange gases again.But Chopper sniffed the air and immediately ran over to open the window to let the wind come in quickly to blow away the gas from the soul lock disk. After all, it knew that Encore's eyes were injured because of these gases today.

Putting his hands on Encore's shoulders, Raphael just smiled and said: "Be careful, Mr. Usopp. That tool is very complicated, and the design drawings alone are nearly 5 centimeters thick~~ But this is not necessary I was worried that someone would remember the design process, and found that the design drawing was changed by me~~”

As soon as Usopp wanted to express his surprise, Sanji picked it up and threw it out of the kitchen, and then all his tools, including those discs, were thrown out by Nami.It's a joke, now that Rafael managed to heal Encore's eye injury a little bit, if Encore's eye is injured again because of the research of this half-assed inventor, they will definitely kill him, and if Lu If Fei woke up and saw Anke still in that weak state, he would definitely be angry again.It's not a pleasant thing to be reprimanded by a foodie and idiot captain.

Feeling that all the uncomfortable smells around him disappeared, Anke glanced at the white right hand on his shoulder, then turned around and looked at Raphael and said, "I said, how did you go in and get it?" Produced these things? The navy should strictly monitor those research centers, even if you are an ability user of time and space fruit, you will not leave no trace of it?"

"Well~~ Because I have a good relationship with that doctor, so I can go in swaggeringly, dear...Xiao Ke," after automatically changing the address obediently, Raphael still put his paw on Encore's shoulder On the one hand, it is to drive away the strange gas around her with ability, on the other hand...it can be ignored, "Even if there is a surveillance phone bug in it, it has nothing to do with me~~Anyway, I have not been discovered~ ~"

"That's it~~" After Anke said this sentence in a slightly cheerful tone, he silently stared at Raphael's sky-blue eyes, which were deep and dark without any emotion.Facing Anke's gaze, Raphael just smiled softly, looked at her without hesitation, his eyes were as calm as water without waves, his right hand was still lightly placed on her shoulder, and he carefully helped her dissipate the torment in the air. She brings unwell gas.

Not long after, Anke narrowed his left eye slightly to hide the vigilant doubts in his heart, and while looking away, he slapped the paw on his shoulder, "All the gas in the air has disappeared, and the paw is retracted for me."

Without asking about Enke's deep gaze just now, Raphael just withdrew his hands slightly dissatisfied and puffed his face and said, "It's too much, Xiao Ke. I was obviously helping you move the chemical particles in the air to other places. Even the place where you don’t know how to thank me~~~”

"I've fed you cake just now, so it's even~" He picked up his teacup to drink some cold tea, but Anke found that the blue-haired animal next door snatched the water cup away, and when he handed it back, it was already He drank a cup of steaming hot tea that was just right for drinking, and Enke, who was not surprised, just took it and continued to drink tea on his own.

Robin, who was a little surprised by this scene, asked: "Mr. Raphael, did you turn the cold tea back to hot just now? Is this also your ability?"

"Yes, the time and space fruit can control time and space, so I can not only appear here suddenly, but also control the time of inanimate objects~~" After watching Robin explain with a smile, Raphael continued to tilt his head Smiling and looking at An Ke who was quietly drinking tea with her eyes closed, she reached out to help her straighten her long, unruly hair from time to time.Enke, who was not disturbed at all, drank tea indifferently.

Looking at them suspiciously, Chopper continued to look through the medical books for information with his head down, while Robin also began to read the book quietly.The only sound in the kitchen was the sound of Sanji chopping vegetables on the chopping board. Nami looked at the person who was helping Encore with his hair with a smile on his face and obviously enjoyed it, sighed and continued to look at him secretly.

Encore leisurely drank the tea in the cup while being harassed. After putting the cup back, he shook his head to signal Raphael to take back the troublesome hand. Not surprisingly, a certain captain was lying there sleeping in a large size with no sleeping posture, and even covered his body with a quilt that couldn't fall off.Carefully stood on tiptoe to help him cover the quilt. Encore didn't expect the quilt to complete its work successfully. After all, judging from Luffy's sleeping position, it was already a miracle not to kick the quilt away within 1 minute up.

After getting rid of the person he was worried about, Encore carried Xue Lian on his back and prepared to go outside to check the situation, "I'm going out for a walk~ I'll be back after I finish cooking."

"I'm going too~~ dear...Xiao Ke~~~~" Standing up cheerfully, Raphael first politely nodded to Sauron and the others, and then walked a few steps quickly behind Encore who was about to leave the kitchen .

After they left, Sauron, who had been sleeping with three knives in his arms, suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the slightly closed kitchen door, then stood up, fastened the knives, stretched himself out of the kitchen, "I'm going out to bask in the sun..."

"Be careful not to let the cute little rabbit be eaten by wolves~~" With an unlit cigarette in his mouth, Sanji suddenly said something inexplicable. It seems to be washing vegetables easily.

"Ah," replied in a low voice, Sauron held the hilt of the sword tightly, then pushed open the door and walked out, with a serious expression and no trace of sleepiness.

"What rabbit, what wolf?" Chopper, who was concentrating on researching information, raised his head and asked Nami in doubt when he heard the name of the animal, but Nami just shook his head in the same doubt, expressing that he didn't know.

"Hehe, it's just a comparison~~" After carefully putting the book away, Robin got up and was about to walk out of the kitchen door, "I'm a little tired from reading, I'll go out and relax~~"

"Comparison..." Dumbly repeated the word, Nami looked at the door that was slowly closing, and after sorting out her thoughts, she suddenly found something, stood up and asked loudly: "Wait, Sanji, don't you think so?" Are you still doubting Mr. Raphael? Didn’t Anke just say that Mr. Raphael is not our enemy?”

"That's what you say, Ms. Nami. But that guy's temperament and aura can be seen at a glance. He is not an ordinary person. Not only has he cooperated with the Navy, but he can also come and go freely in those naval military research bases. His background is definitely It's not as simple as we imagined." The action of washing the vegetables paused, Sanji went to the side and picked up the cutting board to continue chopping vegetables, "Although it seems that he really doesn't have any malice towards the cutie, but now that we know Cutie's identity, then we must be wary of anyone who approaches her inexplicably, especially this Raphael who seems to be on the side of Cutie. And most importantly, Cutie is not what she said Not treating him as an enemy, she's just faking it, pretending to trust the guy completely."

"Is this why Encore has been staring at Raphael's eyes just now?" Chopper, who was holding the medical book, asked in a low voice. on the person.

Recalling that when he met the sea monster that took away the memory, Anke also pressed their eyes to know what happened to their memory, so Sanji guessed: "Little cutie probably wants to see through his eyes. If there are any clues, if it is the power of the eyes of reincarnation, the cutie should be able to read other people's memories by looking into their eyes."

"But Anke's expression hasn't changed at all, it's still that innocent..." Nami frowned slightly and said, "Could it be your illusion?"

"Miss Nami, don't forget about the past of the cutie, and don't forget that the cutie is 17 years old." Sanji stopped chopping vegetables, turned around and looked at Nami and said, "Think from the perspective of the cutie." If so, we will know that it is impossible for her to be so innocent with such a past, no matter how innocent her appearance is, it is just an appearance of deceiving others. And from the beginning to now, we seem to seldom see She showed an expression other than a smile. Even if we have been adventuring with her for so long, our relationship with her should be just an acquaintance who can help you in times of crisis. On this ship, only Luffy knows her For everything, only Luffy can make her feel relieved, and others can't get close to her at all..."

"Indeed..." Recalling the adventures along the way, Chopper lowered his eyes and said: "After I came out of Winter Island, I seemed to only see Encore smiling, always smiling innocently, when I was hurt, when I was separated from others , smiling anytime and anywhere. Even though the tool hurt her just now, the pain is obviously unbearable, but the expression on her face is still smiling sweetly, as if..."

"It's like a mask, the mask frozen on the face..." Nami, who was looking at the door, took the topic lightly, and then fell silent, "Mr. Raphael, you... really lied to us , is it really our enemy...'

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

Outside, Anke and Raphael had wandered leisurely into the grove on the island for a walk.Robin climbed to the top of the watchtower and called it to check the enemy's situation. Unfortunately, the binoculars looked at the direction Encore and the others left from time to time. After Zoro couldn't see Encore and Raphael, he sat in the corner and fell down. Usopp was playing with those discs: "Usopp, did you find anything?"

"The tools he brought are exactly the same as Qing Zhi's, and the design of the parts is exactly the same. It seems that they should be the same disc," Usopp, who didn't know when he took apart the disc that Qing Zhi brought over, pointed Various parts lined up in two rows in front, "I picked one of the same color and took it apart, and found no difference." Then he pointed to two small bottles of different colors filled with white powder next to the parts, "That's from these The powder extracted from the disc, this should be one of the reasons why Anke's eyes were injured..."

"I'll ask Chopper to check after that person leaves later to see if there is any way to find a way to crack it. Let's take these back first and then talk about it..." After saying these lightly, Zoro folded his hands and kept looking at it. in the direction of the forest.

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

On the other hand, the forest side is not as tense as the atmosphere on the boat, but relaxed and relaxed, which is exactly the atmosphere of an outing.Walking leisurely on the right side of Encore with his hands behind his back, Raphael looked down at the child who was also leisurely, and then looked up at the blue sky and the dazzling sunlight through the sparse tree branches, "Remember our first It’s such a beautiful weather for the first meeting~~ It’s also in the forest~~”

"That's right, your appearance at that time completely ruined my interest in walking!!" Thinking of the scene when they met back then that seriously frustrated her self-esteem, Anke couldn't help but have a few red wells on her head.

"Ah, is there?" Raphael, who was not thinking the same thing at all, just walked a few steps quickly to the front of Encore and walked back while looking at her, "Sure enough, Xiao Ke, you look more and more cute~ ~~Like a doll~~~"

Enke, who had no idea what to do with this product, silently flipped silver in his heart, and then asked the old question before, "In the end, why are you pestering me? Not only did you help me when you were in Sky Island Healing my partner, and now I have brought all the tools to suppress the eyes of reincarnation. I can't think of any reason why you can help me to this point..."

"Hehe~~~" Raphael smiled and said nothing, still walking in that posture, but avoided the obstacles behind him with extraordinary flexibility, "Secret~~~"

"Huh?" Looking at the handsome young man a little speechlessly, An Ke racked her brains and couldn't figure out when she met this trouble that was not a trouble. She didn't think they really met a few months ago Meeting, although he had said before that he saw himself in some crystal ball, but she always felt that it was not that simple, and something must have happened in the middle.

Seeing Anke's slightly frowned and troubled look, Raphael chuckled in a good mood. He looked at Anke's delicate face tenderly, and suddenly thought of something that slipped a slightly cunning smile on his face. He stretched out his right hand, Suddenly a bunch of flowers of all kinds appeared in his hand.Looking at the flowers in his hand, Anke suddenly had a bad feeling, and when she saw the smile on his face, this feeling became even stronger.

"Nah~~My dear, don't worry about this little thing~~~I suddenly thought of a good idea~~" Stopped walking and knelt on the ground on one knee, Raphael was holding the bouquet of flowers and smiling charmingly.

It's a pity that Enke, who was completely uninterested in that monstrous face, only felt a chill. Why did he always feel that this brat was thinking of bad ideas?It's better for her to stay away.Anke walked past the guy in front of him without stopping, and said indifferently, "What kind of marriage proposal pose are you proposing to an underage child? Hurry up and follow."

"It's too much, my dear, you are my fiancée..." Raphael, who was following Encore while talking, found that when he said the word 'fiancee', Encore instantly became The fog disappeared in front of his eyes, only the occasional wind blowing around and a few black crows that appeared abnormally with their own background music. As for the background music, hehe~~~
Raphael, who lowered his head in frustration, fiddled with the flowers in his hand, chuckled a few times, and then disappeared.And the few crows that were screaming and showing their presence disappeared without knowing when, and there was not a single feather left.

………………………………………………………………………

In another clearing in the forest, Anke, who had found a big tree to enjoy the shade, was sitting on the crystal. The tree was surrounded by green grass with scattered flowers blooming in it.Not only that, the fluttering cherry blossom petals were floating down from the big tree above Anke's head strangely, and disappeared after falling to the ground.His eyes were fixed on the falling cherry blossoms in front of him, but Anke's mind was rapidly thinking about how to get beneficial information from Raphael.

"Dear~~~~~" A certain blue-haired person roared over so loudly that no one had arrived.And Anke has adjusted her expression, her big eyes are innocent and her lips are smiling, the whole one is a natural and pollution-free cute girl.

Not at all surprised that Raphael found this place, Anke just smiled and watched him run in front of him, continuing to hold the bouquet of flowers inexplicably courting him, "So, brat, what do you want to do now?"

"That, actually, I just came up with a very good idea~~~" Before Encore could ask what the idea was, Raphael had already said it with a smile, "Honey~~ How about I help you get married?" ~~~"

"..." Anke's expression was completely frozen on his face, and a look of 'I'm talking to an idiot' slowly emerged.But after thinking about it, this guy has made some contributions today. Although I don't know why he came up with this bad idea, it seems that he won't go back obediently after he has had enough fun.After balancing the interests, Anke nodded, "Yes, whatever you want."

After excitedly stuffing the bouquet into Anke's arms, Raphael ran behind her and started rubbing his hands.Enke slowly raised the crystal to a suitable height, holding the bouquet in his left hand and holding it in his right hand, just in the usual posture of holding a trident, although his face was still smiling but slightly vigilant.

"Hmm~~ But what should I do~~" Standing behind, Raphael couldn't see the movement of Anke's hand clearly, but pouted slightly and looked at the long black and shiny hair in front of him worriedly.

With her right hand still holding her hands, Anke put the bouquet on her lap and raised her left hand, handing the ivory comb that suddenly appeared in her hand to Raphael, "Use the comb, don't torture my hair too much, Mr. Raphael~~"

After taking the comb, Raphael carefully picked up a strand of long hair and combed it slowly, and said with a light smile, "Hehe~~ dear, don't be so vigilant. I will never sneak up on you again~~ ~"

"Really. Then I feel more at ease~" The tone was still a little smiling, Anke let go of her right hand, moved her fingers, and then continued the original action, but this time she skillfully covered her hands with a bouquet , "Speaking of it, you seem to know my affairs very well, but I don't seem to have heard about you before~~ This is a bit unfair~~~", Wei Wei's immature voice with a little bit of coquettishness and grievance is completely It was just the complaint of an innocent girl, but Anke, who said this in such a tone, revealed a slight thought on his face, "Knowing the enemy and yourself can win all battles. If this little devil is allowed to speak out his identity, then he will take advantage of it." When he relaxes, he should be able to get corresponding information by tapping sideways...', the calculation in his heart was crackling, and Anke's face still had an innocent look.

"Ah~~ Didn't I tell you?" Raphael, who heard that Encore was interested in his identity, had a fox-like smile on his face, expressing the tone and voice he spoke to Encore just now Very useful, "I thought we have met so many times, my dear, you already know exactly what I do~~I'm so disappointed~~"

"Not counting this time, we have only met three times. The first time you ran out to snatch Xue Lian and didn't say anything else; the second time you returned Xue Lian and introduced yourself; the third time in the air Island, introduced the history of Sky Island, and then answered an inexplicable phone call; then there was nothing~", Anke, who pretended to be a little disappointed, paused and said: "I have said many times not to call me 'Darling ', Mr. Raphael..."

"What, it's the first time we met..." Raphael whispered the last few words as if he said them in his mouth, with only a few vague pronunciations.

Enke, who couldn't hear even with his ears pricked up, asked helplessly, "What did you just say?"

"It's nothing~~" Concentrating on combing the long black hair, Raphael said appreciatively, "Dear...Xiao Ke, your hair is of good quality, but it's a bit too long~~"

Reluctantly letting the blue-haired creature play with his long hair, Anke said helplessly, "Don't change the topic without authorization, just keep talking."
