Vice Captain of One Piece

Chapter 601 Forest of the Sea
Afterwards, Princess Baixing went to Princess Otohime's tomb, put her fists together on her forehead and prayed devoutly.The exquisite tomb is not as tall as Princess Shirahoshi sitting there, but it doesn't affect the sad but warm feeling.

·
Ace looked at the huge mermaid, and then asked in a low voice, "Speaking of which, how did the mermaid princess get attacked just now? Was it that murloc named Vander-Daken?"

·
"Well, I ran into it on the road just now, and then an ax kept flying over~" After answering casually, Anke continued to take pictures of the surroundings with the camera.After taking a good picture of the scenery here, Anke jumped off the coral reef and squatted on the ground to tease the little leopard.

·
"Wow~~~", the little leopard frantically wagged its tail and jumped up and down in front of her.

·
Seeing that many of the long black hair of the person squatting on the ground with his back to him were hanging down on the ground, Ace reminded helplessly, "Enke, all your hair fell to the ground."

·
"Is there?" Anke turned his head suspiciously and found that many of them were hanging to the ground, so he had to stand up by his skirt and straighten his long hair.

·
"Encore, Encore, Encore, Encore~~~~", Luffy ran over with a smile, and looked curiously at the way she was arranging her hair with a puffy face, "What's wrong with your hair?"

·
"I accidentally fell to the ground just now, I was wondering if I need to cut it..." An Ke straightened her long hair with her hands, and took off the white camellia pinned to her ear and handed it to Lu Fei, "Help me get it ~"

·
“Okay~~~”

·
Jinbe just looked at them and smiled, then walked near Ace, "The relationship between Lu Fei-kun and Xiaowa is still the same as it was two years ago."

·
"They haven't changed since before~," Ace just smiled, looking at the two of them tenderly, "However, it's not bad."

·
"That's what I said..."

·
Not long after, the voices of Nami and Kaimi suddenly came, "Luffy / Luffy-kun~~"

·
"Huh?" Luffy looked up to where the voice came from, and Biah saw Kemi and Nami sitting in the bus along the waterway, "Oh! Nami, Kemi!"

·
Anke looked up to that side, but was a little puzzled, "Why did Nami and Kaimi come out of Dragon Palace City, what about Sauron and the others?"

·
"Don't worry, don't worry ~ Zoro and the others will be fine~~~", Luffy smiled happily, and helped her pin the camellia in his hand awkwardly.

·
Although it always felt a bit strange, Enke didn't doubt it any more, "That's right, after all, it's Sauron~"

·
On the bus, Kaimi suddenly pointed at Jinbei and happily introduced to Nami: "Miss Nami, take a look~~ Standing next to the person in black is Boss Shibe~~"

·
"..." Nami just looked at the huge blue murloc thoughtfully.

"Ah, Princess Shirahoshi is here too..." After getting off the bus, Kemi noticed the huge mermaid princess, and the next moment her eyes protruded from the shock, "I was scared to death!!!"

·
Seeing the beautiful woman coming, the lecherous cook immediately spun up, "Miss Nami~~~~~~~~"

·
Seeing that Nami in a bikini didn't spray his nosebleed, Chopper immediately breathed a sigh of relief, "That's great, it's completely fine..."

·
Kaimi also suddenly found Xiaoba lying there covered with bandages, and immediately swam over nervously and asked worriedly, "Xiaoba, what happened?"

·
"Kami...", Xiao Ba said weakly, but he didn't really want to tell her the truth, so as not to worry her.

·
The foodie who was thinking about the banquet in Dragon Palace City happily ran over, "Nami, has the banquet started yet?"

·
"There's no such thing as a banquet. We've been involved in big trouble." Nami frowned and briefly told them what happened in Dragon Palace City.

·
Hearing this, Jinbe was surprised: "Is that true? Such a serious incident happened in Dragon Palace City."

·
Thinking of his friends who went to Dragon Palace together, Luffy asked nervously, "Sauron and the others?? How are they doing now?"

·
"I don't know," Nami shrugged, "I plan to go back when I see you."

·
Thinking of the water environment in Dragon Palace City, Anke frowned slightly, "If we fight those people in the water, even Sauron and the others won't be able to sustain it for too long."

·
Ace, who was sitting on the coral reef, asked lightly, "Would you like to see it?"

·
After thinking for a while, Anke shook his head, "No, their lives are not in danger yet. Let's see the situation before we talk."

·
When she heard the news from Nami, the Mermaid Princess burst into tears again, "How could this happen...Father was arrested...Wuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu..."

·
Anke rolled his eyes silently, walked to the coral reef and sat down and said helplessly, "It is said that women are made of water, it is really true..."

·
"Wow~~~", the little leopard nodded in a dignified manner, and then ran to Encore's skirt hanging to the ground with short legs and sat down.

·
Hearing her words, Ace comforted her helplessly: "After all, she is a mermaid princess, she has more tears...it's a special feature..."

·
"Alas..." Hearing the crying sound, Anke sighed and covered her ears.Seeing her childish action, Ace just smiled and looked over at Jinbe. .He knew how much this friend valued Murloc Island, and now that he was in trouble, he needed to help anyway.

·
Jinbe sighed, and solemnly said to Luffy, "I'm sorry, Mr. Luffy. I didn't want to cause trouble for you, so I asked someone to talk. But it seems that you have been involved. Although the situation is urgent now, But when I met Lu Fei-kun 2 years ago, the situation was much more serious than it is now. I would like to express my sincere gratitude to those who stopped the brutal behavior of Aaron and his gang in the East China Sea. That would be you, thank you. Let me thank you once again. And, there is one more thing you need to forgive."

·
Xiao Ba seemed to know what he was going to say, and looked at him sadly and remorsefully, "Boss Jinping..."

·
Seeing Jinbei's appearance, Anke shifted his attention from the crying of the mermaid princess to them. After all, listening to stories is better than listening to those noises.

·
Jinbe paused for a moment, and then said in a deep voice: "11 years ago, the culprit who exiled that guy Aaron to the East China Sea was the old man."

·
"!!!!!!!!!!" Nami's face immediately turned pale when she heard this, and her right hand unconsciously tightly grasped the windmill orange tattoo on her left arm.His face was full of cold sweat, and his lips were pressed tightly, but his body was trembling slightly.

·
The one who exiled Aaron who destroyed her hometown, killed her adoptive mother, and enslaved her for 8 years to the East China Sea... was the blue murloc in front of her...

·
Nami's slightly out-of-focus eyes moved to the tattoo in front of Jinbe's body that was mostly covered by the kimono but could still be seen as a red sun, but subconsciously remembered the exact same sun mark on the left chest of the jagged shark murloc in her mind... …

·
This fact...made her feel chills...and deep-rooted...despair...

·
Not noticing Nami's pale face, Jinbe looked at the crying Mermaid Princess, and comforted him: "Princess Shirahoshi, it's okay. Even if those guys caught His Majesty, they shouldn't hurt His Majesty." .”

·
The tearful mermaid princess choked and asked, "Really..."

·
"Yeah! I will definitely rescue the king!" Jinbei nodded affirmatively.

·
"Yes..." Princess Shirahoshi seemed to believe in Jinbei, and the tears stopped immediately, "Please, boss..."

·
"But, please give me some time to talk to Lu Fei-jun and the others.",
·
"Yes……"

·
"La la la~~", at this time, Sanji, with a huge teacup on his head and a plate in his hand, turned down from the Qianyang, and after a few turns, he handed the biggest teacup to the mermaid The princess and the ordinary ones handed the encore to them, "Ladies~~ please drink tea~~~"

·
"Thank you, Sanji. Just stay there." Nami was obviously not in the mood to pay attention to these things, and said angrily, "We are talking about business, please put away your virtue!"

·
Her words obviously had the opposite effect, and the lustful cook burst out with countless hearts, "I like Miss Nami who is so decisive~~~"

·
Seeing Sanji like this, Kemi, holding a teacup, smiled and said, "Sanji-kun is still the same~"

·
Ace raised the brim of his hat to look over there, then asked the person holding the teacup in a low voice, "Do you feel that the atmosphere has changed a bit since Jinbe said the name 'Aron'?"

·
"It has indeed changed. But I don't know what's going on, although the name 'Aaron' seems to have been heard somewhere..." An Ke took a sip of the teacup without interest, and then put it down.She doesn't like this kind of tea...

·
"However, this 'Aaron' seems to be related to your navigator, and her complexion has become very bad."

·
"Maybe, although she did join after me, and we seem to have stayed in her hometown for a while, but I'm not interested in knowing the story there." Anke raised the teacup in his hand, congealed The smiling face is still like an exquisite mask, "People who are worthless have no meaning in my memory, let alone stories about them."

·
Knowing that Anke's character has always been like this, Ace could only say softly: "However, Anke, if it's something related to your partners, sometimes it's better to know a little bit."

·
"I don't want to know, Ace, I don't want to know..." Anke closed her eyes and leaned on his shoulder lightly, her thin eyebrows were slightly frowned, "Too deep bond will only make me feel uneasy, understand Those deeper will only produce more so-called feelings and weakness. I...as long as you are all right..."

·
Ace looked at her distressedly, and persuaded in a low voice: "Maybe, try to accept it... After all, those are the partners you will get along with in the future..."

·
"..." Anke silently opened his different pupils, and then closed them, "It's fine now, Ace... the identity of an outsider is more suitable for me... Other things, Luffy will help me Okay. He said that I can do whatever I want, and leave everything else to him..."

·
Ace looked at her silently, then reached out and stroked her long hair lightly, compromising with a smile, "That guy Luffy is right, Encore is fine now. You can do whatever you want, No one will force you to do things you don't want to do..."

·
"Um……"

·
"Then, why don't you go to that coral forest to have a look, the scenery there is nice."

·
"Okay..." After nodding, Anke put down his teacup and jumped off the coral reef, walking towards the coral forest in the distance.The little leopard, who was squatting at her feet, shook his head, followed up immediately, and then directly stretched out his paws to grab her slightly hanging skirt on the ground and let her drag him away.

·
Seeing her back, Lu Fei asked suspiciously, "Oh? Where is Encore going?"

·
"She's going for a walk in the forest," Ace explained with a smile, and immediately said something that made Luffy stop on the spot as he was about to start running, "Luffy, you should stay here, didn't Jinbe say I have something to tell you? "

·
"Huh?" Luffy was taken aback for a moment, and then he watched the slender figure of his deputy captain disappear behind the coral with a puffy face.

·
Ace just smiled, and then looked at the quiet coral forest.Maybe what Anke said just now is indeed still unreasonable, but compared to the indifference when he didn't go to sea, it is already very good now.

·
Seeing Encore leave, Sanji just clenched the cigarette butt in his mouth.In his eyes, the slender figure who didn't look back somehow overlapped with the small figure in Nami's hometown two years ago.At the beginning, Nami's sister Nuo Qigao wanted to tell them about Nami's past. Shang Anke, who was still a child at the time, turned around and left because she was not interested in her story. It hasn't changed a bit in two years.

·
"..." Sanji sighed silently in his heart, maybe they still couldn't make Encore open too much to them.However, he also knows that although he is not interested in their past, Encore will still make a move in times of crisis, because they are both partners of the same pirate group.

·
Suddenly he felt someone pat him on the shoulder, and when he looked over suspiciously, he saw the captain's smiling face.

·
"Encore is just a stroll around~ After all, this place is so beautiful~~", the captain wearing a straw hat smiled innocently, but it also meant to let him not think too much.

·
Sanji took a deep breath, and then walked over directly, "I'm just worried about the safety of the cutie! What if such a beautiful and delicious deputy captain is targeted by bad guys??!"

·
"Bad guy?!" Hearing this, the single-celled creature immediately rushed over there, "Encore!!!"

·
"Stop for me!!! That's just a metaphor!!!", Sanji hurriedly held him back, lest he really run away.
