Vice Captain of One Piece

Chapter 132
In the evening, the setting sun has already sunk into the sea, and the orange color is all over the world.The azure ocean glows a faint red in the setting sun, and orange-red waves bloom.The navy passenger ship was docked on the coast, and Lian was trying out with Soronby, and the fierce moves made people dazzled.On the passenger ship, the remaining members of the Straw Hats watched them with interest, all kinds of snacks (looted from the passenger ship) were placed in front of them, and they were watching the show leisurely.The reason for the above things happened was that Luffy, who couldn't stay in the Golden Merry, ran over to find Encore, and after all the fuss, everyone accepted Encore's brother who suddenly appeared.Then, a certain green algae head planned to compete with Lian, and after Lu Fei's booing and Encore's acquiescence, there was an appeal.

"Speaking of which, Mr. Lian is very powerful~ The soft rope can actually beat Sauron's sword," Nami looked at in amazement, and picked up the melon seeds to continue gnawing.

"Yeah," Luffy said with a mouth full of meat "@#%￥@#￥@%%* (It hurts to be scratched)" and then continued to stuff the meat of his left and right hands into his mouth.

The group was silent for a few seconds and after understanding what Luffy was saying, they looked at Sauron who was fighting with Lian. Even though he was fighting with a sword, his body was still scratched by thin lines in many places, and the wound on Lian's body There are only a handful of them.

"Looking at it this way, that guy is a little bit stronger than Chlorella." Sanji watched the battle with a cigarette in his mouth. "It can be said that he really deserves to be the little cute little brother? He is so strong..."

"Lian is indeed very good. It seems that she is also training well in the navy~~" Nodding in satisfaction, Anke shook the camera in his hand that hadn't been on the stage for a long time, and then took a few photos of the people on the field.

"Is that boy really only 14 years old?" Usopp was holding a glass of beer, but his trembling hands made the wine in the glass shake and spill a few drops from time to time.

"Yeah, it's really amazing~~" Biting the marshmallow (illusion) that came out of nowhere, Chopper blinked enviously.

"Hehe, they really look like two siblings~~" Robin smiled while holding the red wine, then glanced at Encore and said, "Or should we say siblings?"

"Siblings!!" Clutching the camera tightly in her hand, Anke strongly emphasized the most important point, her slightly twitching smile showed how much she cared about her younger brother's height.

After carefully looking at the appearance of the two, Sanji concluded: "But cutie doesn't look like her brother..."

"He's not my real brother..." Anke explained shamelessly, then bent a faint smile, "However, it's nice to have an obedient brother~~~"

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

At nine o'clock in the evening, there are only two people left on the passenger ship, An Ke and Lian, and everyone else is An Ke' we sisters and brothers want to have a whisper, what are you making fun of? 'Hurry back to the Golden Merry, Luffy, who didn't want to leave, was forcibly carried away by Sauron and Sanji.

Sparse stars are dotted with the dark blue sky, and the lonely full moon hangs half high in the sky, its color is icy cold, and the slightly cool moonlight makes the originally warm night bring a little sadness of parting.

Anke sat on a swing that appeared out of thin air. The two long hanging ropes of the swing went straight to the sky, and it was hard to see where they were hanging in the night.Lian stood behind and pushed the swing from time to time, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, invisible, but he obediently carried out Encore's instructions and kept smiling all the time.

Swinging his legs leisurely, Anke silently looked at the moon in the sky, although the corners of his lips were curled upwards, but there was no smile at all.Violet's eyes were calm on the surface, but there was a touch of sadness in their eyes. Anke leaned her head on the hanging rope, quietly enjoying the breeze brought by the swing.The black hair flew up slightly with the effect of inertia, Lian stretched out her hand to catch it, the silky black hair fell from her fingers, it was close in front of her eyes but she couldn't grasp it.

Confused, she reached out her hand again, but the swing took the girl away, and the flying black hair slipped from her fingertips again. Lian saw the empty hand, and then looked at Enke, who had never looked back, "Sister?"

"Honey~~I'm here~~~" The flat but pleasant voice came out of nowhere again, a certain blue hair was standing on the side of the boat in front of Encore, the silvery moonlight shone on his scattered blue hair. His hair and delicate face are as beautiful as a real elf. Even the simple white casual clothes did not reduce his temperament, but added a bit of refinement.Unfortunately, some people don't think so.

After lazily looking up, Anke concluded: "It really is a monster..."

"My dear..." A piece of crystal flashed across his head, and Raphael bent down his always smiling mouth pretending to be wronged, so he had to change his words obediently, "Xiao Ke, was that a compliment just now? Why do I sound weird?" ?”

"Illusion..." Directly ignoring the guy standing above, Enke continued to swing slowly, the corners of his upper lip slowly slid down, but there was no more words after that.

"Why is His Royal Highness Raphael here..." She reached out and grabbed the swing rope to keep it from shaking. An unpremonitioned Lian lowered her head blankly, only to find that Enke still didn't look back at all, or raised her head , "Why... sister..."

Raphael, who no longer pretended, frowned slightly and looked at Lian with an unbelievable expression, then turned his gaze to An Ke who was expressionless at the moment, "Xiao Ke?"

"As I said, Lian," Anke still didn't look back, and slowly tightened his hands holding the swing rope, his eyes seemed to be looking at Raphael in front of him, but more like looking at a farther place, "Raphael I will see you off tonight...".The swing slowly lowered, and after Anke's feet touched the ground and stood up, the swing disappeared, and then a big snake wrapped a large package in its tail and quickly climbed up in front of Anke, twisting left and right, and vomited.

"Rafael, please..." Enke, who cut the mess with a sharp knife, said directly, his expression still seemed unchanged, but he was very determined.I don't know if it was because of too much shock or something, Lian still stared at Enke who didn't look back with wide eyes.

"I see..." Sighing, Raphael came behind Lian in an instant, put his hand on his shoulder, and then looked at Anke's back, keenly feeling that Anke was in a bad mood, and then fainted. He opened his mouth: "If you want to teleport a person and ensure his safety, I also need to go with you. You are also very conflicted now, Xiao Ke, I will come to you in a few days..."

Anke just responded in a low voice, and the big snake on one side came to Raphael again, twisting left and right, and hung the package wrapped around its tail on his outstretched left hand.After a long time, Anke turned around slowly, looked at Lian in front of her calmly, and then suddenly smiled softly, a pure smile without any impurities, "Lian, thank you...you are still willing to call me sister..."

The sudden strong wind ruffled Anke's long hair, the whistling sound carried someone's silent cry, and the restless waves kept hitting the passenger ship with only one person left on the sea, as if to bring it into the night The boundless ocean, the fleeting wind took away a little bit of sadness left in the air.Pushing back the long hair blown by the wind, Anke slowly raised his head to look at the full moon, which looked very sad for some reason, and then a smile slowly appeared on the corner of his mouth, which looked sweet but full of irony.

This is a night to leave... I really don't understand the style...

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

On the Golden Merry, everyone stayed on the central deck, and warm lights were placed on the side of the ship. The warm light dispelled the cold and gloom of the night.

"Why hasn't Encore come back..." Luffy stood on the side of the boat with his hands folded and looked towards the direction of the forest with a wrinkled face, and walked up and down on it impatiently, "Really, are you still a child!"

"Don't walk around there, didn't she say she wanted to chat with her brother?" Sauron yawned, found a corner and sat down, and began to doze off.

"Will the cutie just stay there and not come back today?" Sanji guessed, and then flicked the cigarette ash with his hand, "It seems that she came back today to have a little meal and then brought a lunch box, and then there is no gone."

"Does she still care about our thoughts..." Nami hugged herself, frowning slightly.Chopper looked at Usopp worriedly, Usopp immediately shook his hands and said, "I really want Encore to stay here!!"

"Usopp, what are you talking about?" Luffy turned back and looked at him calmly in panic, "Encore belongs to this ship, what is 'just let her stay here'?"

"Calm down, Luffy," Zoro, who was dozing off, opened his eyes, looked at the trembling Usopp, then at Luffy, and said in a deep voice, "Our journey will not be changed because of Encore's identity." There will be changes, and it will only become more united in the future, because everyone knows her secret. It is inevitable that you may not get used to it in the first few days, and it will be fine in a few days..."

Luffy was silent for a while, then continued to turn his head to look at the forest, frowning slightly and waiting for Encore who hadn't come back yet.Robin just chuckled a few times, then looked at the red wine in his hand and remained silent.

The moon is moving slowly, sometimes covered by thin clouds, sometimes bright.Luffy kept staring at the path in the forest. When he saw the small white figure walking back slowly, his eyes lit up instantly, and he ran over with open arms after cheering: "Enkekekekeke~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~"

"Strange, why is there only cutie alone? Where's her brother?" Sanji looked suspiciously at Enke who was walking back with his head down, but he didn't see the silent boy behind him.

"Something must have happened..." Sauron guessed: "His younger brother belongs to the navy after all, and encore her..."

"However, I didn't see today's passenger ship on the other side of the coast, nor did I see any traces of fighting. It feels like I left," Robin said lightly, retracting his hands that didn't know when they were crossed: "Of course. , does not rule out the possibility of using illusion..."

"Haha, don't say it so scary, Anke won't do anything..." Nami hurriedly interrupted their guess, her dry laughing voice couldn't even deceive herself, "Probably not..."

Feeling that he was about to be shaken by Nami's words again, Usopp immediately lowered his voice and said, "Nami, stop talking, it's all decided..."

"I got it!"

Chopper looked at the two who were still hesitating suspiciously, then turned his gaze to Luffy and Encore, "Why, Usopp and Nami are still hesitating?"Aren't we partners, is Encore's past really so unacceptable...'.

It's a pity that it doesn't know that it hasn't been in contact with humans for a long time. Sometimes the memory of the past has irresistible power. No matter how hard you try, it is difficult to get rid of the shadow it brings. One thing, then even if you grow up and become stronger, it will be a reason for your fear, and it will appear to you in your sleep even if you never think of it in your waking hours.No matter who is like this, whether it is Nami who has not experienced enough, or Encore and Robin who are in the dark, it is the same...

"Encore~~~~", over there, Luffy, who rushed to the front of the Encore, showed his signature bright smile, but found that his vice-captain seemed to be in a bad mood. He squatted down and opened his hands in doubt. An Ke, who didn't seem to be looking at the road, walked forward blankly, but she didn't expect that she walked over without dodging, put her arms around his neck, buried her head in his neck, and then said nothing.

"Encore?" Putting his hands together in doubt, he stroked her long hair clumsily. Luffy didn't understand why Encore seemed to be in a low mood.He had no choice but to hold her in silence, waiting for her to speak.

After a long time, a low voice came from my ear, "Go back, Luffy..."

"Yeah!" Without asking anything, Luffy directly picked her up, kicked her numb legs before turning back to the boat.He wanted to look down at her expression, but found that he could only see long black hair. Lu Fei tried his best to free up one hand to pull the hair covering his face aside, and when he just revealed a little fair complexion, Encore shook his head covered again.Flattening his mouth in dissatisfaction, Luffy wanted to continue making trouble but gave up, 'Forget it, I'm very tired today...'

"Is she okay?" Zoro softly asked Luffy who had jumped back on the boat, and looked worriedly at Enke, who was completely like a koala at the moment, "Do you want Chopper to check?".A certain reindeer hopped around on its hooves below, but the shortest of the crew couldn't reach it.

Sensing Encore's slight resistance, Lu Fei smiled and said, "Haha~~she just wants to sleep~~Everyone go to rest~~"

"That's right, I haven't closed my eyes much since yesterday, and she was injured again..." Sauron still lowered his voice, and after seeing Luffy carrying Encore into the room, he silently looked at the quiet deep forest , Still can't see Lian's figure.

"Little cutie should send him back..." Walking to Sauron, Sanji also said in a low voice: "Also, didn't Miss Robin just say that she didn't see the shadow of the passenger ship over there?"

Frowning slightly, Sauron stretched and climbed onto the watchtower on the mast, "I will keep watch tonight, you guys should go and rest..."

After a few glances at each other, everyone said good night and went back to their rooms.

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

At the same time, on a small island in the far East China Sea, it was daytime, with blue sky, white clouds, and surging waves.There are residential houses in the center of the island, and several roads in all directions allow villagers to easily come to the coast. The east side of the island is a cliff near the sea, facing the blue ocean and backed by gentle mountains.There is no one's footprint in the overly dense grass, and only occasionally birds and beasts pass by.Raphael and Lian, who came here suddenly, were a little unaccustomed to the sudden change of light, squinting their eyes and looking around.

After getting used to the brightness of day and night, Raphael let go of the hand on Lian's shoulder and put the package in his left hand on the grass, looking around in a good mood, "Ah~~ I haven't been here for a long time, I didn't expect it to become a barren mountain now~~".As he spoke, he sat down on the spot and took out the jade flute to wipe it and put it on his lips.

Lian remained silent, clenching her fists and looking at the ocean with white waves blooming in front of her from time to time, directly ignoring Raphael who was sitting next to her, and also ignoring the beautiful melody he played with the jade flute.

The slightly ethereal sound of the flute fills the seemingly quiet world, and the soft tone soothes people's restless hearts. The ocean seems to be intoxicated by the sound of the flute, and dare not make a sound to interrupt the source of the sound.The sound of the flute that calmed the soul also comforted Lian's battered emotions. He let go of his clenched hands and fell directly backwards, lying on his back on the soft grass and watching the occasional white clouds drifting by. blue sky.

The sound of the flute gradually decreased, and finally disappeared completely with the occasional passing wind.Raphael took the flute away and smiled slightly, shook the jade flute in his hand and began to look at the four-leaf clover that was also swaying left and right in thought.

"Hey, Your Highness Rafael..." Lian who looked at the blue sky said lightly, as if talking to herself but also seemed to be confused, "Stay away from... is really the best protection?"

The hand shaking the jade flute paused slightly, and Raphael looked at the four-leaf clover for a long time before saying, "For Xiao Ke who is full of enemies all over the world, staying away is indeed the best protection. But, now She may not know it yet, but her protection method will easily hurt the person she wants to protect. How can the bond that has been formed be cut off unilaterally, even if she doesn't believe in fate, but fate... ", paused , Raphael took out another hidden clover ornament, squinted his sky blue eyes slightly and looked at the small and exquisite clover, "It has tightly entwined her and all related people. That line of fate, even if she wants to shake off, we can't let her go~"

Watching Raphael hang the clover on the flute quietly, Lian was silent for a while before saying, "Then, Your Highness Raphael, do you know my sister's plan?"

"First send you to a place where you won't be able to find her for a year and a half, and the next step should be the rest of the Straw Hat Pirates~~ It's impossible for her captain and partners to let her leave that small ship, but Xiao Ke She..." Looking at the jade flute in his hand with a slight smile, Raphael softly said the last few words, the suddenly enlarged waves violently hit the rocks under the cliff, and the crashing sound seemed to resound through the sky, covering all sounds.

Lian stared at Raphael with wide eyes, opened and closed her lips several times, but still couldn't say a word, not even a simple note.

"This is the most possible possibility. For them, she can definitely do it. Moreover, this should be the 'stay away' that best suits her style..." After standing up and pinning the jade flute back to his waist, Raphael Er slowly walked towards the edge of the cliff, looking down at the sea water hitting the reef below with a calm face, "What will the world be like at that time? What will it be like for you~~~"

Lian pursed her lips tightly, stood up and looked at Raphael who seemed about to fall off the cliff at any moment, and then said in a deep voice: "No matter what happens in the world, I will find my sister and protect her!"

"Mr. Lian, if she wants you to do this, why does she ask me to send you to such a far place? You should understand what she told you before. She doesn't want to get rid of the dark vortex of this world." Anyone other than herself enters inside. Even so, if you still insist on your thoughts, then go to her when you have enough strength to stand beside her... ", the wind blowing from the sea With the gentleness of the sea, Raphael raised his head slightly to feel the wind, left a faint sentence and then disappeared, "You don't have to worry about the next thing, just listen to Xiao Ke's words, I will solve the next thing of everything that happened..."

Standing quietly on the grass, Lian struggled all over her face. He still couldn't believe what Raphael said, but Enke's actions were in line with those characteristics. After a long time, Lian sighed heavily and sat down. Staring at the package on the grass, "My sister's behavior...does it mean that she has listed me in the scope of protection...".Stretching out her hand to pat the package, Lian felt a little strangely touching a square hard object, and untied it suspiciously, only to find that there were several clothes, some dry food and a lot of money in the package, and a photo frame was placed on the top. The crystal-clear crystal frame shines brightly in the sun, and the refracted light makes Lian a bit confused about what the photo is.Picking up the exquisite photo frame, when she saw the contents inside, Lian froze there, and for a moment, tears fell down.The photo shows a long-haired little girl in a white kimono and a teenager sleeping with eyes closed. The girl sitting on the lush grass stretches her legs, looking at the teenager sleeping peacefully with her head resting on her lap, with a gentle smile on her face. The charming red and purple pupils made the pink cherry blossom rain behind her lose its color.The whole photo seems to make people see the warmth and picturesqueness of the original scene.

Time passed quietly, the sun was shining brightly, and now it was sunset, the tired birds returned to their nests, and occasionally the chants of fishermen returned from a distance.Lian, who was staring at the photo for a long time, finally realized the passage of time. After looking at the photo carefully, she carefully put it back into the package.Standing up with her package on her back and looking at the warm sunset, Lian's mouth slowly curled up into a faint but real smile, "I will listen to my sister and take risks in the sea. But all the premise is that I know you are safe and sound... ...One day I will catch up with you!" Looking firmly at the sunset, Lian turned around without nostalgia, "There are three major forces in this world, the navy, the pirates, and..."

Revolutionary Army...
