One Piece: Turning Fruit

Chapter 445
Time came to night in a flash.

The navy at the rear of the Merry was still chasing closely. In order to prevent the navy from taking advantage of the moonlight to conduct a coordinated operation, Sauron, who was on guard at night, did not dare to slack off even the slightest bit.

Holding the rudder, feeling the cold wind coming from behind, Sauron idly looked at the galaxy in front of him.

It is guaranteed that the Meili will not drift to some ghostly place.

In the past, the Meili would stop to rest, but if it stopped now, the navy behind it would not behave like the enemy does not move.

At this time, Sauron took care of the helm and the responsibilities of night watch.

The cold white moonlight fell on the sea, bringing a bit of coolness.

Sauron doesn't like wearing clothes that are too thick, because it is inconvenient to move and will affect the speed of the knife.

It was still the same white short sleeve at the moment.

Although the night at sea was a bit colder, it was able to survive with Sauron's physical fitness.

It's just a little boring.

It was late at night, everyone was sleeping soundly, and there was silence on the Meili, except for the sound of waves beating against the bottom of the ship.

It is a bit noisy for ordinary people, but people who spend their days at sea are already used to this kind of sound.

In this solitude, there was a faint sound of the door opening suddenly, and Sauron averted his gaze.

The one who walked out was Alan who had been asleep for nearly a day.

"Did you have a nightmare again?", there was nothing stiff about it, Zoro retracted his gaze and asked naturally, provoking the topic.

The sudden voice attracted Allen's gaze to look up.

Still with indelible fatigue on his face, Allen rubbed his temples and looked up at Sauron, but didn't answer directly, "... I have a little too much sleep time."

Simply responded.

Then he walked to the guardrail, feeling the cool sea breeze blowing from the side, Allen lit a cigarette, and his mind became a little clearer.

Sauron stopped his mouth with a greeting, and Allen didn't intend to continue chatting.

There was a moment of silence in the arena.

There is only the sound of wind and waves.

"You", froze for a moment, and Sauron was the first to break the silence.

The deck of the Merry was not big, so Sauron naturally took in what happened during the day.

At this moment, I want to say something, but there are not many words like caring in Sauron's dictionary.

It doesn't matter if you are shy, or you don't know how to express it.

Zoro raised his head, but he couldn't say anything after that.

Allen can naturally understand the thoughts of his partners. This feeling of being cared for by others can only be felt by Allen on the Merry.

A warm current flashed across his heart, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Don't worry, it's not too serious. I know my body well!" Looking back at Sauron, Alan showed a smile somewhat similar to that of the stupid captain.

It is an explanation for what happened during the day.

It is not a serious illness that can endanger life, so that everyone does not have to worry about themselves.

If Nami, Sanji, or even Luffy were present at this time.

It should be a sigh of relief, or some other expression.

But who knows that after hearing Alan's answer, Sauron didn't feel relieved, or raised the corners of his mouth, and said something arrogantly.

Instead, he was slightly taken aback.

"What is this guy Allen talking about???", doubts arose in his mind.
Although Sauron knew what happened during the day, he didn't know exactly what was going on.

Sauron, who was standing at the rudder for nearly a day and a night, didn't talk to everyone.

What Allen said at this moment is inevitably somewhat inexplicable to Sauron.

How did you get involved with your body?
Although I was puzzled in my heart.

But judging by the expression on Allen's face now, Sauron also knew that he couldn't show his doubts.

Otherwise it would be really embarrassing.

"Cough is... is it? That's good." With a cough to cover up his embarrassment, Sauron offered a universal vocabulary, his eyes drifted away, and Alan avoided his sight.

"Ha, don't worry, it's because it's not a serious illness, so I didn't tell you this." Not noticing Sauron's embarrassment, Allen said, "Just to prevent you from worrying too much."

"Ah, so that's how it is." Sauron nodded, and responded simply. There was nothing to say, and he didn't know what to say.

Sauron didn't even figure out what was going on, so he couldn't answer this question.

Alan didn't care either, a cigarette burned out quickly, Alan stretched his waist and moved his body, and then walked onto the rudder.

Looking at Sauron, he said, "That idiot Luffy is really true, you are also at the helm during the day."

Before he finished speaking, he stopped here. Allen looked up at the position of the moon, and then continued, "It's still early, leave it to me here, you go back and rest."

Indisputably snatching the rudder from Sauron's hands, Allen patted Sauron's shoulder to express his relief.

Sauron naturally has nothing to worry about Alan's technology at the helm, but...
"Are you sure there's nothing wrong?" Seeing the tiredness still remaining on Allen's face, Sauron moved his legs that had been standing for a long time and asked.

"Haha~~, don't worry, after sleeping for a day during the day, leave it to me at night!" After a hache, Allen rubbed his cheeks and said.

"Well", Sauron looked back at the warship that was clinging to him behind him, and then looked back at Allen.

There's nothing to worry about, it's just a warship. When he left Alabasta, facing so many warships encircling and suppressing, Allen was able to escape from it safely on the Merry.

Let alone now.

Sauron waved his hand and gave a hatch, "Ha~ Then I'll leave this place to you, I'll go back first."

After speaking, he walked down the stairs and went back to sleep.

Now the remaining sober people on board are Alan's.

Holding the rudder with one hand so as not to stray and hit something, Allen raised his left hand after confirming the sound of the door closing.

Looking at the fine and dense scars on his hands, Alan's eyes seemed to be able to directly see the Hailoushi dagger hidden inside through the obstacles, and he sighed deeply.

"Ugh"

Although what he told Zoro just now was free and easy, what Chopper said to Allen during the day really put a heavy stone on Allen's heart.

Allen couldn't breathe.

Thinking back to what Chopper had said to him during the day, Alan's heart inevitably felt a little helpless.

"Oh, a useless person." With a bitter smile, Alan withdrew his gaze and said self-deprecatingly.
