To the end of the sea [One Piece]

"Hey, you're awake." Kuleha had been drinking at the table early in the morning. She looked at Eina who walked out of the room in surprise, "As expected of a pirate, you recovered really quickly."

Eina pulled up a chair and sat across from her: "Thanks to you. How long will it take for me to recover?"

Kuleha tilted her head and looked at her for a while, then said: "Sleep for one more day, I will take off the bandage for you tomorrow and take a look. If nothing happens, you can leave."

"Really? Thank you!" Eina couldn't help but be a little excited when she heard such good news. "Is there a boat out on the island that I can borrow?"

"What, do you want to go to sea by yourself?" Kuleha glanced at her, "I heard you said before that you seemed to have come to me inexplicably just after entering the Grand Line... What, your pirate group's navigator Lian Dawei Haven’t I told you the most basic common sense about shipping routes?”

"Ah..." Eina was stunned, "Common sense...what do you mean?"

A rare expression of surprise and anger appeared on the elderly woman's face: "You don't even know common sense... What is going on with your pirate group? Couldn't something have happened on the way here?"

Eina was a little unhappy, but she also knew that Kuleha meant no harm: "No one told us any common sense before we entered the Grand Line, but our navigators are top-notch pirates, so you don't need to worry about this. If If possible, could you please tell me about the Grand Line?”

Kuleha snorted, put down the bottle and said to her: "The Grand Line is the most dangerous sea area in the world. Here, all your navigation skills and pointing tools are of no use. There is only one thing you can trust and rely on." Record pointer. After entering the Grand Route, you will choose one of the seven routes, and then follow the direction of the record pointer to the small islands passing by the route. Store enough magnetism on each island before you can leave for the next An island.”

"Then the end is..."

"Ah, that's the place called Rafdru." Kuleha raised her head and took a sip of wine. "Why, are you also the little guy who wants to be the Pirate King?"

"I'm not," Ena said, "but our captain's dream is to be the pirate king."

"Hey." Kureha grinned from an angle that Eina couldn't see. "You're quite motivated. I hope they can find you first."

Ena sighed. If that were the case, she might really have to wait for Luffy and the others to pick her up. Or, go to the island's port and ask if there is a fleet willing to take her out to sea...?

Forget it, let’s contact them first.

"Want to stay at my place?" Kureha looked at Eina sideways, "Hey little girl, this is not a hotel. Once you recover and pay the medical fees, I won't keep you for a second."

"Eh..." Eina scratched her head in embarrassment, "How about I help you with a hand or something... I know a little bit of medical skills, so I can handle basic wounds."

"It's enough for me to have Chopper for this kind of thing." Kureha said, "Speaking of which, where is Chopper?"

"I'm here, Doctor Dori." The little reindeer walked in with a pile of clothes. "Her clothes are dry, I'll get them."

"Ah! Thank you!" Ena walked over and took her clothes, looking at Chopper with a smile, "I forgot to introduce myself yesterday, my name is Ikegawa Ena."

Chopper glanced at her quickly and lowered his head: "I know!"

Eina watched Chopper walk away. She hugged the clothes and said to Kureha, "I'll go and sort these out first."

Kureha looked at her back and took another sip of plum wine.

------------------

"Nami!!!" Ena finally answered the call in surprise after calling the phone for the seventh time. Nami's voice came over: "Ena!! Are you okay! Where are you now! We finally contacted you. Got it!!”

"Ena, are you really not in the belly of the whale?" This was the sound of Luffy and then being beaten by Nami.

"What's wrong with you, Ena! Why did you disappear suddenly!" Usopp yelled anxiously.

"Ena!!!" Sanji grabbed the phone bug and shouted to her, "Don't be afraid! I'm coming to save you right now!!"

"I say everyone..." Eina held the phone far away and spoke with difficulty, "Calm down a little..."

There was chaos on the other side, and finally Nami took back the phone bug. Although she was also anxious, she calmly listened to Ena's summary of her experience.

"That's what happened... As for why I disappeared, I think it may be that my fruit ability was out of control." She said, "Where are you now? I kept contacting you as soon as I woke up, but no one answered."

"Sorry..." Nami said guiltily, "We were in the whale's belly at first. After we finally came out, I almost got lost because I didn't know enough about the waters of the Grand Line. Then we were tricked into going to an island. Almost got assassinated. Now we just left and are heading to the next island."

"It's okay, it's good to know that you guys are fine." Eina said, "I'm just worried about what will happen to you. Fortunately, you met a kind person who gave you a record pointer, otherwise we wouldn't know there is such a thing."

"Ena, if you are on Drum Island, we will pick you up right away." Nami said, "Then we will go to Alabasta together."

"Alabasta?"

"Yes. We met a friend. She is the princess of Alabasta. Her country needs our help now, and Luffy decided to go to Alabasta to take a look."

"No problem." Eina said, "Then keep in touch, I'll wait for you to pick me up."

After hanging up Nami's call, Ena let out a sigh of relief.

The next question is, how can she convince Dr. Kuleha to let her stay here for a few days...

--------------

into the night.

Eina had an extremely restless sleep that night.

Her brain felt crazy pain after she fell asleep, and then broken images appeared in front of her alternately.

One moment she was on a rocking ship, with a child's body squeezed next to her and hugging her for warmth; the next scene turned to a hand holding out an orange to her in the boundless darkness.

[Ena-chan, let’s have something to eat]

She reached out her hand in her dream, and the moment before she touched the orange, the scene flipped and she grasped a broad hand with clear bones.

She was hugging the man. His face was blurry and could not be seen clearly, but there was a sad dull pain in Ena's heart. The man's mouth opened and closed, as if he was trying to stop her from doing anything.

【Let me go, Kuzan】

There's that sentence again...

She stepped back, and the man's fingers slipped from her palm one by one.

【Ena! ! ! ! 】

She returned to the ship, and the huge waves swept her away. The hand that fell off changed from a man to a thin child.

She struggled through the excruciating torture and finally stabilized.

It was a complete dream.

She switched from the first-person perspective to a bystander. She watched a burly man laughing wildly and fighting with a black-haired man wearing a hat. Darkness and flames intertwined in front of her eyes, but she couldn't see their facial features clearly.

She could only see the dark-haired man being swallowed up by the darkness, bound and handcuffed.

no, do not want.

She roared from the bottom of her heart, but no one could hear her.

no no no--

Ace—! ! !

With a cry, Eina woke up from the bed. She sat up suddenly and looked around in panic.

She was still in Kuleha's ward.

She gasped for air, stretched out her hand tremblingly to drink water, and found that her bandage had been wet with cold sweat.

The water was cold, but just what she wanted. She swallowed the cold water in big gulps, and the coldness in her stomach made her sober.

This is reality, that was just a dream.

But... her intense emotions and grief were so real that she couldn't let go of what she had just seen for a long time after she woke up. If the first images that had traces in her mind were her lost memories, then the last stable and relatively clear image brought her infinite fear.

That was almost like a foreshadowing.

Ace, Fire Fist Ace.

She was the first person in the world who felt familiar.

He was caught? No, that's not right. If a big pirate like Fire Fist was caught, even she would definitely get the news in the newspapers. But she and Nami had only been separated for a few days. Before that, she had read the newspapers every day, and there was no news about Fire Fist.

Did it happen in the past two days?

But why did she dream...

She held her forehead weakly.

"Are you okay?" Chopper's voice came from the door. He rubbed his eyes and yawned. He must have heard Eina's movements and came over to take a look.

Eina breathed out: "I'm fine...it was just a dream."

The distortion in her voice could not escape the attentive doctor. Chopper came over with a more serious attitude: "A nightmare? You seem to be very uncomfortable."

Eina leaned back on the head of the bed, stretched her tense muscles and sighed: "A worrying dream. I dreamed that someone I might know was caught."

"'Maybe' means you're not sure you know that person?" Chopper asked doubtfully.

Eina looked at the little reindeer who was worried about her under the dim light. Her overly painful spirit suddenly relaxed, leaving her in a relatively slack state. She sighed and suddenly decided to tell Chopper.

"Because I have lost my memory." After she said this, she got a surprised look from Chopper as expected.

She motioned for Chopper to bring a chair, and then spoke slowly: "After I woke up, I had no memory at all... So when my captain invited me on board the ship, I thought about it and thought that pirate group was good, so I just followed them. Let’s go on an adventure together. I also came to the Grand Line to find my lost memories.”

Chopper first fell into the doctor's occupational disease: "The possibility of amnesia is organic or functional. After excluding drugs and external interference, the remaining possibility is that you are mentally stimulated and that's why..."

"No...that's not necessary." Eina couldn't help crying or laughing, "It shouldn't be helpful to explore the pathological causes of amnesia...I subconsciously remember people I once knew, and I think as long as I find them, I might be able to recover. "

"No, this is very important." Chopper's face was serious. "If the cause is found, maybe I can help you restore your memory through medical means. Wouldn't that be great?"

Eina was stunned for a moment, lowered her head and thought: "I never thought about it before...but when you say this, it does seem to make sense."

"Right!" Chopper's eyes lit up, "I haven't studied amnesia patients yet! Eina, are you willing to let me help you treat your illness?"

Hey, so you want me to be a guinea pig? Eina complained helplessly in her heart.

She suddenly remembered something: "Chopper...even if there are some remnants of the past in my mind, why do I sometimes find that my memory is wrong? My subconscious tells me that I know this person, but the other person doesn't know it at all. know me."

"That's very complicated." Chopper said. "It may be that you have a unilateral obsession with this person, or you know someone who is very similar to the other person. It is more useful to think about this kind of thing after you recover your memory. "

Eina nodded: "I understand."

She suddenly showed a sinister smile: "I'm talking about Chopper..."

The little reindeer trembled: "What, what's wrong?"

Eina said with a smile: "I promised to be your amnesia patient, so since I am a patient, I can't leave here right away, right?"

Chopper immediately understood what she was talking about!

He held his forehead helplessly and let out a small sigh: "I know... I will go and talk to Doctor Dolly."

Ena snapped her fingers in her heart.

Plan accomplished.

--------------

Chopper said good night to her, and whispered to her before leaving: "Amnesia should be a very sad feeling...but you can face it all so calmly and calmly. So don't worry, Ena. Come down and give it to me, I will definitely help you."

Eina was stunned on the spot.

She suddenly wanted to cry a little bit.

No one has ever said to her, "You did a good job Ena, you are already great, leave the next step to me."

After she lost her memory, no one asked her whether it was sad to lose all her memories.

Although she received a lot of love and care, as a doctor, Chopper immediately thought of the pain of being a patient.

Eina looked at his small body tenderly: "Chopper... will definitely become a super excellent doctor."

Chopper shyly covered his eyes with his hat: "I'm still far away from that level... But," his tone became firmer, "I will definitely reach it one day!"

Then, the little reindeer lowered his head and ran away. Ena lay down and closed her eyes in the reassuring darkness.

She suddenly remembered what Luffy said before.

Hey, if it were the ship's doctor...it would be great to be Chopper.
