Vice Captain of One Piece

Chapter 320 Ready to set sail~
two days later.
At dawn, the crowd who had held the banquet non-stop for two days lay asleep in the room in disorder, and the undulating snores of the men resounded in the spacious room.

Robin, Nami, Sanji, and Franky didn't stay here because they had to go back to clean up the dirty and messy Thousand Sun.Chopper and Encore were resting near Sauron's bed, along with a sticky straw hat captain.Usopp and Laura's men lay on the ground.

Sunlight shone in through the broken glass windows, and shone softly on Sauron who had been lying on the bed for two or three days.As if disturbed by the sunlight, he frowned slightly and then slowly opened his eyes, but then subconsciously stretched out his hand to cover his eyes because of the glare at that moment, but pulled the painful muscles.

Sensing movement over there, Anke, who was in a light sleep, also opened his eyes. After looking in his direction, he removed the paws on his body, got up and walked over, "Are you awake?"

"Hmm..." Sauron's voice was a little hoarse, and after he got used to the sunlight, he lowered his hands and tilted his head to look at the person beside him, "How long have I been asleep?"

"Not much, just three days." Anke jumped onto the bed, carefully helped him up, and said helplessly, "Why did you make yourself like this..."

"It's nothing." Sauron just replied lightly, frowning slightly, enduring the pain that was still tearing his body.Immediately, he raised his right hand, looked at the bloodshot vial in his hand, and passed it to the person beside him, "Here, here you are."

"???" Encore took it suspiciously, and after shaking it, he still didn't understand what it was.

"Given by Big Bear, it is said that this is a real drug that can delay the backlash of the reincarnation eye, but let's wait for Chopper to examine it carefully before saying it. In this case, it will be enough time for Chopper to develop a treatment drug.", After Sauron finished speaking in a low voice, he frowned and braced himself to get out of bed.

Anke just lowered his eyes, staring at the small blue medicine bottle in his hand, "Why do you..."

At this time, Lu Fei, who felt that there was no one around him, opened his eyes suddenly. He was stunned for a moment when he saw Sauron who had woken up, and then smiled happily: "Zoro, you finally woke up?!"

The loud talk woke up Chopper on one side, and after he opened his eyes vaguely, he saw Zoro bending over to put on his shoes.Immediately jumped up and ran over to ask worriedly: "Sauron, are you awake? Is there any other discomfort? Let me check first and then talk about it."

People who feel good about themselves automatically ignore the pain caused by their physical activities, and said lightly: "I'm fine, Chopper, you should go and test that bottle first, and see if it can stop the backlash."

Chopper looked at him in bewilderment, and asked suspiciously, "Backlash? What is that? Sauron, are you sleepy?"

Hearing this, Zoro stopped tying his shoelaces, looked up at the bewildered ship doctor standing in front of him, frowned slightly and asked, "Chopper, did you forget?"

"Forgot what??", the ship doctor who was still confused looked at him strangely.

"Zoro may just be really sleepy, after all, his injuries are also super serious. After sleeping for a long time, maybe even dreams and reality are a little unclear~~", after An Ke finished speaking with a chuckle, Stretching out his hand to pull Sauron, he blinked his left eye at the person who turned his head and hinted, "We'll talk about this matter in a few days."

Seeing clearly what this meant, Sauron frowned even tighter. Why does it always feel like this little guy is hiding important things from them again?

"What are you talking about?" Luffy came over and bent over to hug his deputy captain, resting his chin on her little shoulder, looking at them suspiciously.

"Just asking Sauron if he feels better now~~", Anke cleverly changed the subject, stretching out his hand to tug on his face on his shoulder.

"It's true. After all, Zoro was seriously injured and needs a good rest..." After nodding in agreement, Luffy rubbed the encore and then stood up, smiling proudly and saying: " However, now that Sauron has woken up, we can set sail for Murloc Island~~~"

"That's true." Anke nodded with a smile, and then said to the silent swordsman: "Also, I forgot to tell you, Mr. Sauron~~ Before your injury is completely healed, all of your All actions can only be carried out after my consent, especially when you are exercising~~”

"What??" Sauron shouted excitedly, but gasped because the wound was involved.

"Sauron, are you alright!!" The worried ship doctor immediately stepped forward to check and said seriously while checking: "Sauron, your injuries are not a joke, and you can't move around casually in the next time."

"Reject! This will make me very unnatural!" Putting aside the temporary backlash, Zoro objected while reaching out to tear off the bandages on his body.

Seeing what he was going to do, Anke just narrowed his eyes slightly, and said slowly, "Suo, Long, Jun~~~~~~~~~~~"

Zoro froze for a moment, then slowly put back the hand that was pulling the bandage.Let the ship doctor on one side check carefully.

After seeing this, Luffy studied it for a while and said strangely: "Zoro, your complexion is very bad, what's wrong?"

"No, nothing..."

"Hehe, from now on I will 'take care' of you every step of the way, Sauron-kun. Feel honored~~hehehe~~", An Ke's smiling face was full of innocence, as innocent as a child.

Seeing her smiling face, Sauron paused, but bowed his head silently.He didn't know what this girl was planning, but he knew very well that the next thing would definitely be troublesome...

Seeing that Sauron woke up, everyone prepared to sail to the next island.After all, the next island is Fishman Island, and everyone is looking forward to it.

Franky and Usopp built a grave for the Rumba Pirates to honor his lost companions.After the two men built the tomb, they left, leaving Brook alone there to play the last song for his companions, their favorite "Bens's Wine".

The soft melancholy sound of the violin echoed in the quiet air, whispering silently.

Not long after, Sauron came over, stuck his rusted knife in front of the cemetery, and sat down.

Brook stopped playing the violin and said after seeing Sauron sitting aside: "I was shocked, are you okay?"

"Just slept a little longer."

"This is?"

"The dead knife, let the snow go. Let me put it here to express my condolences." After Sauron said lightly, he closed his eyes and put his hands together.

Brook turned his head and looked at him for a while, and when he remembered what happened before he passed out, he couldn't help saying with emotion, "That..."

"Huh?" Zoro put down his hand, opened his eyes and looked at Brook who wanted to say something.

Brook looked at him indifferently for a while, then retracted what he was going to ask, said "nothing", then turned his head and looked away.Then, as if remembering something, he said a little excitedly, "By the way, I joined your group."

"Oh? You're really unlucky." Sauron, who had thought of it a long time ago, said with a smile: "Our group is very troublesome."

Seeing that he didn't object, Brooke immediately smiled and said with reassurance: "Yohohohoho, I'll do my best, even though I'm already dead~~"

"Then I'll go back first, hurry up too, we're about to set sail." Sauron stood up and turned to leave without saying anything.

After looking back at him leaving, Brooke continued to play the violin and continued to play the rest of "Bens's Wine".

Outside, Anke was leaning against the wall with his arms folded and waiting for someone. Seeing Sauron coming out, he asked lightly, "So fast?"

"Just put the knife down." Sauron was not surprised that she would appear here, but slowed down a little.

"Really?" Anke, who didn't plan to go any further, just shrugged and walked towards the direction of Qianyang. After all, she didn't intend to let this green algae lead the way.

After a few seconds of silence, Zoro looked at the back of the girl's head and asked lightly, "Why did you delete their memories again?"

There is no accident, why did he know, Anke just smiled irrefutably and said: "Oh, your observation skills are really sharp, Sauron-kun~"

"Why." Sauron just asked repeatedly, looking at her back with a solemn expression.

"Why..." Anke suddenly stopped, and asked with a chuckle, "What do you want me to tell Luffy?"

Sauron also stopped and stood one meter behind her, silently looking at the thin figure in front of him.

An Ke slowly raised his head and looked at the clouds floating in the blue sky, and said lightly: "At least you can't say it now, can you? He still can't accept it. Even if I come back now, he is still afraid Let's go, don't you..."

Sauron has long been aware of what Anke said, why didn't he know how valuable that simple captain is to his deputy captain?Since Encore came back, everyone could see that Luffy was by her side almost all the time.After all, that incident completely left a shadow in his heart, a shadow that could not be erased.

"It's still a few months anyway, isn't it? I will try my best to persuade him~" Anke turned his head and blinked his left eye at Sauron, the blood-colored pupils had an indescribable color, "Also, you have to keep it a secret. , Mr. Sauron. I don't want to let him know so early, because I don't know what he will do."

Sauron didn't answer right away, and after pursing his lips tightly, he said in a deep voice, "Is it true? 18 years old or something..."

As Anke walked forward, he said with a chuckle: "Really, I already had a hunch before, and then I read Angelia's books for the last time, and then I can be sure because of the occasional drowsiness. At the beginning, I thought the backlash would be very painful, but I didn't expect it to be just a deep sleep. It's not bad."

"What's wrong?!" Sauron, who was still standing there, gritted his teeth and said, clenching his fists and looking at the calm girl in front of him, "Why do you always encounter such things?!"

Hearing his words that he lost his composure, Anke just smiled helplessly, turned to face him, and said softly: "Sauron, this is just nature, just see through it. What's more, my body has long been It’s so tattered, it’s a miracle to be able to survive until now, isn’t it?”

"There is absolutely something to do!" Sauron didn't want to believe this sad fact at all. He stretched out his hand to touch the girdle and his expression changed, then he looked at the girl in front of him.

"I threw away that bottle a long time ago, because I don't want to touch it anymore because of drugs or something." Anke looked at him with a smile, with a faint request, "Hey, Sauron, can you keep it secret for now~~ I want to finish these two months naturally, and I don't want to make anyone feel a little bit sad, especially Luffy..."

Sauron just clenched his fist silently. The unhealed wound brought tearing pain to his body, but he was ignored by the complicated people.

The atmosphere of silence was unspeakably sad, the passing wind blew gently, mischievously picked up the girl's shoulder-length short hair, and then left.

Quietly looking up at the person who pursed his lips and didn't answer for a while, Anke suddenly smiled lightly and swayed around with her skirt, blinking at the froze swordsman with her cute smiling face. Bouncing away.

Anyway, Zoro will definitely promise her~~~
After watching the girl run away, Zoro let go of his clenched fists and lowered his head to look at the ground, but the turmoil and feelings in his heart could still be seen from his lips pursed into a straight line.

"Why can't I protect her well once? I was incapable before, but I have no chance in the future...why..."

As soon as An Ke walked to the forest approaching the entrance, he heard Luffy yelling and running towards him.

"Anke Anke Anke Anke~~~~~~~~~~~", the person who rushed over picked her up and turned around a few times before looking in the direction she came from, and did not see anyone else The shadow of a person, "Where is Sauron?"

"It's still in the back, because he's going to put the broken knife there~" An Ke hugged his neck and said lightly, then yawned and lazily lay on his shoulder.

"If that's the case, let's go back~~~", Luffy, who was satisfied after finding someone, turned around slowly, and while walking back, he smiled and said something he thought was very good to the person he was holding.

And Anke, who never refuted, just listened with a smile, occasionally answering a few words.

Zoro, who came from a distance, saw this scene, and after seeing Luffy's ignorant and innocent smile for a while, he still couldn't make up his mind.

As if sensing his gaze, Anke turned her head and smiled at him, with her index finger on her lips.

Seeing what she was implying, Sauron clenched his fists and forced himself to nod, but the stiff movement made the cute girl in the distance smile and roll her eyes.

'Thank you, Zoro...'
