(One Piece) I am Sanji

Prepare?What preparation?what to prepare?

I looked at the smiling comrades around me, and I couldn't think of what to prepare for.

At this moment, I saw that the purple-haired man in the lead frowned and said a name: "Nicole Robin."

My body tensed up all of a sudden, and in addition to what Aya said just now to be prepared, some bad thoughts popped up in my mind. Could it be that he also wants to...

As a result, the man who was called "Uncle Ace" by Luffy laughed: "What a group of amazing guys."

It turned out to be an allied army.

I thought I could breathe a sigh of relief, but I didn't expect that the ship's hull began to tilt, and the harsh sound of planks cracking also sounded.

When everyone was full of joy, they just watched the Merry split apart in front of our eyes.

I finally understood what Aya meant by saying "This is the limit of the Meili", and why Aya asked me to get ready.

Who would have expected that the Meili, which was surrounded by the navy to pick us up after we had escaped from birth, was actually doing its best just to give us another ride.This section of the journey should be the last time of the Mei Li.

No one spoke, and the silence was extremely difficult at this time.

Luffy jumped onto the bow without hesitation, and knelt there: "It's not good, Meili is not good, aren't you the boatman? Please, Meili is our important partner, just now, It also saved our lives! Uncle, please think of a way!"

Everyone was silent, waiting for an answer.

I know what the answer will be like in the end, so I am even more reluctant to see the purple-haired man speak.But this is impossible, and everyone is waiting for the answer: "Then let it sleep peacefully."

I couldn't see Lu Fei's expression. The moment this sentence was said, the temperament of Lu Fei's body changed. I don't know how to describe this change accurately. I just feel that the surrounding air is dull. stand up.

"We have done everything we can," the purple-haired man paused, and then said, "What is in front of me now is a miracle, a miracle of a ship that has surpassed its limits."

Miracle...?

Also, among the miracles created by the Meili, there must be everyone's love for it.

The other side was still saying: "I have been a boatman for so many years, and I have never seen such an amazing pirate ship. Its existence is really amazing."

But these compliments didn't make the atmosphere around me any easier, and the depression in my heart became a little bit heavier. Everyone... is the same, right?

After listening to these words, Luffy just straightened his waist and lowered his head slightly, but I think he must have made his own decision. After all, he is the captain who gathered people with unique skills and different abilities. , but this decision...

"I understand."

as predicted.

In the small boat provided by the big ship, we stood in a row, watching Luffy holding a torch, facing Meili: "Everyone, are you ready?"

I don't know when I picked up the cigarette again, and when I heard Luffy's question, I responded, but the "um" was very obvious, because no one answered except for Chopper who followed him.

"Merry, the bottom of the sea is dark and cold, it will be very lonely, we will always watch you."

The torch finally touched the hull.

"It may be a good thing that Usopp is not here, he must not be able to bear such a scene."

"How is it?" I heard Sauron say, I turned my head slightly, glanced at him, and also at Usopp who was asked by him.

"That's not the case," Usopp's answer was very firm. "When it's time to say goodbye, you can't shed tears when you say goodbye between men."

I looked back and looked at the rapidly spreading flames on the Meili, my nose suddenly felt a little sour, but I remembered what Usopp said, closed my eyes, and when I opened them again, the tears I wanted to burst out had all been suppressed up.

"Merry, thank you, thank you for sailing with us for so long."

The thick smoke went straight to the sky and merged with the gray clouds.

Suddenly, something cool touched his forehead, and Nami beside him should have felt it too, and murmured, "This is... snow?"

It's snow...

I saw the flag symbolizing the Straw Hat Pirate Ship fluttering through the firelight, watching it burn to ashes little by little.

The sound of the mast falling down was not harsh, but it hit my heart hard.

"I'm sorry, everyone."

This voice is the same as the voice that called us on the Bridge of Hesitation!It's Merry!

"I wanted to drive you to a farther place. I'm sorry, but I really want to continue the adventure with you."

Tears gathered again, and the heart seemed to be caught by something. The voice of Chopper calling the Meili also seemed to be far away and could not be heard clearly.

"But I..."

Luffy interrupted Mei Li: "It's us who should say sorry!"

I listened to Lu Fei counting one thing after another, and heard his voice gradually become crying, blurring his vision.

"I should say I'm sorry..." Luffy broke down in tears.

Mei Li's voice sounded again: "But I am very happy."

The tears finally burst.

A hand was put on my shoulder, I had no time to think about who it was, I just tried to widen my eyes to see the Meili, the ship that was about to part with us, and how it said goodbye.

"Thank you for cherishing me so far."

It was as if the world had been muted until Meili was slowly reduced to ashes, part of which flew into the sky and part of it sank to the bottom of the sea.

After boarding the Carraley company's ship, I looked back at the place where the Meili was originally parked, and looked at the calm sea. I couldn't tell what it was like.

But that small piece of sea quickly disappeared from my sight surrounded by people.

Although we managed to escape from Judicial Island, where we never return, no one was happy. For them, this should be equivalent to leaving with a companion.

So... what about me?My heart is touched, and why?Are those emotions, those actions, really just the memory of the body?

I can't think of one, but one person, maybe, has the answer.

But before I asked this question, I lost the opportunity to ask it forever.

Maybe it's because I have something on my mind, maybe it's because I didn't fight with all my strength like them. When they all fell asleep in various positions, I was still awake, but in the end I still couldn't resist the invasion of exhaustion, and I followed suit. Eyes closed.

no dream.

When I opened my eyes again, I saw a piece of white in a daze, and then more colors burst into my senses with a soft "you wake up".

I sat up abruptly, blinked, and looked at the girl sitting on the edge of the bed: "Aya?"

Aya stood up, put her hands behind her back, and smiled sweetly: "Ayuan, I have to go."
