To the end of the sea [One Piece]

Ena hasn't had such a peaceful sleep in a long time.

When she woke up, she felt like she was in another world. She blinked and sat up from the bed. A ray of early morning sunlight shone into the room. She stared at it blankly for a long time.

Surprisingly... she no longer dreamed of those scenes that tortured her. She really had a normal sleep. She remembered last night, when the red-haired man held her in his arms and told her stories about the past. That gentle voice and patient companionship drove away her inner demons, allowing her to have a dreamless night.

Anyone who has never been haunted by nightmares all night cannot understand the feeling of being mentally tortured to the point of weakness, and Ena was tortured for a full month. So when she appeared on the deck, washed and dressed, it was as if she was reborn.

She was holding Yugiri, with Ace's dagger on her waist. She decided to carry it with her for Ace starting today.

"Good morning, Ena-chan!" Jesus Bu and Raglo greeted her while arranging the rope. Several other pirates smiled at her when they saw Ena. Shanks had already told them yesterday that starting from today, Ena will stay with the Red-haired Pirates for about two years.

The pirates had no objection at all. Not to mention that this was the captain's personal wish, but based on Ena herself, they were very willing to let the girl stay on the ship for a longer period of time. Most of them are singles, and those like Jesus who even have children are a minority. So, which sea man doesn’t have the heart to raise a daughter?

Look, that cute smile! Look, that delicate face! look! Super fighting power!

They weren’t raised by them!

Beckman's father said that you didn't seem to do anything except talking trash to her.

For pirates, every morning is almost the same. Unless there is an emergency, there is nothing new.

But Eina is different. After a good night's sleep, she was full of energy at the moment, even looking at the Redfors was glowing.

She walked from the bow to the stern and greeted every pirate. The girl who swept away the gloom had a smile on her lips, and her crisp and energetic tone lingered on the pirate ship like a bird.

The girl with a delicate face looked like a charming flower when she smiled. The pirates who were used to seeing their companions who were tall and thick suddenly felt that if they could see this kind of beauty every morning——

I almost feel motivated to work, okay?

Can you poach Straw Hat Boy? It doesn’t seem good to do otherwise…

I always feel that there is a lack of beauty on the ship that is overly masculine, so I might as well wait until Eina leaves to bring up the agenda with the captain.

"Good morning Ena." Shanks saw this scene as soon as he went out and greeted the girl in a good mood. Beckman followed Shanks with a smile on his face.

It's everyone's wish to see her like this.

"Good morning Shanks, and Uncle Beckman." Eina's eyes lit up, she took two trots and jumped up to the second floor of the deck, arriving in front of the two people.

"Has she recovered so well?" Shanks subconsciously worried for a second, and then he remembered that he really couldn't treat her like a hothouse flower, so he said, "It seems that we can just train at the normal level today."

Beckman was completely helpless: "It seems that you are in a really good mood." You were so good that you thought of using that title to tease him.

Eina smiled: "It's really good. I had a very rare good sleep last night." When she said this, she looked at Shanks, who blinked, and the two exchanged a soft look.

The vice-captain did not miss this interaction. He glanced at the red-haired captain first, and then raised his eyebrows: "That's good."

Shanks walked forward, Eina followed behind him, and Beckman went to do his own thing. As he walked, he said: "We are about to land, and they will stop here for a few days to purchase supplies. Follow me to find a place to test your condition."

"Okay." Eina said, "Speaking of Shanks, since I have to stay on the ship for two years, I have to have a position. I can't let everyone take care of me all the time."

Shanks turned his head and looked at her: "There is no shortage of manpower on the ship. When you are not training, just follow Beckman. If you are free before dinner, you can also help Delhi chop vegetables. I remember that you are good at cutting."

Eina nodded: "Okay."

While the two people were talking, they had already reached the cabin door of the Redfors.

Shanks opened the door and let her in: "You have never told us that you are a fruit user. I was shocked when I heard about it in the newspaper."

Eina lowered her head and walked in: "I have been reluctant to use it for so many years. Besides..." she pursed her lips, "Under the premise that I don't have enough ability to protect myself, I'm not sure it's a good thing to expose this fruit to others. s Choice."

Shanks looked at her with a little distress. It was not difficult to imagine that she had suffered a lot over the years.

Fortunately, she met Luffy and her friends who could protect her.

"You should also know that the name of my fruit is the Kong Kong Fruit, and its power is related to space." Eina and Shanks stood face to face. She stretched out her hand to activate her power, and a ring emerged from the space ring. She reached in and took out a Bailey.

"This is the simplest storage space. Ever since I became a pirate, I have been working hard to develop whether I can put living things in it." She put away the storage space, and another ring appeared in the palm of her hand. "Currently, it is small Animals will still die if they go in, but plants can survive for about a week."

After she explained her abilities, she looked at Shanks seriously, waiting for him to evaluate her.

The red-haired man frowned and thought for several seconds, then showed a surprised expression.

"So, Ena, you can carry a whole warehouse's worth of stuff with you!" The man with a handsome and resolute face had an almost starry look on his face, "It's so convenient!"

Ena was about to faint from anger at this guy! She wished she could jump up and blow his head off with a chestnut hammer!

In fact, she did this too - something she had done very smoothly eight years ago.

"Ouch!" Shanks covered his head, "Ena, you actually hit me again!"

"Huh? I hit you too lightly!" The girl clenched her fists with great momentum, "Answer me properly!"

Facts have proved that apart from the fact that the 29-year-old Shanks and the 37-year-old Shanks have three more scars on their eyes, look more intimidating in terms of aura, and have clearer facial lines, no one can shake the essence of being like a broken child.

The only difference between 13-year-old Ena and 21-year-old Eina when facing him was that Bakuri was more lethal.

After the joke was over, Shanks finally said to Eina seriously: "I probably know your ability. How many storage spaces can you create at the same time?"

"Four." Eina said, "Except for the space ring, it is an independent space that I made that is attached to the artifact. I can control up to four space channels, but the disadvantage is that it is difficult for me to concentrate all my energy on fighting."

"That's the problem," Shanks said. "You basically have no experience using the fruit's ability and your sword skills to fight at the same time, so they are always separate."

He stood there and thought for a while.

"I can teach you swordsmanship, but I have no idea how to use the fruit ability. It should be said that your type of fruit ability is difficult to be interfered by the outside world. It can only be broken through the continuous exploration of the ability user." Shanks put his hand on Regarding Griffin on the waist, "Don't worry, the first step now is to improve the abilities of both sides, and then think about fusion."

"Today we will practice swordsmanship first. After that, when you go to Beckman to help him, you can talk to him about the fruit." Shanks said.

Anyway, Beckman is recognized as the brains of the Red-Haired Pirates, so it would be right to throw such things that need to be considered to him. The red-haired captain thought without any psychological pressure.

The gray-haired mate who directed the helmsman to the shore outside the house sneezed.

"Captain! Xiao Eina!" Jesus Bu opened the door, "We are about to dock. Do you need anything to bring to you?"

"No need for the Jesus cloth, just go buy your things." Shanks raised his hand and waved, "Have fun!"

The curly-haired man responded with a gesture of understanding, closed the door and left.

"Then let's go." Shanks looked at Eina, "Do you... have anything you want to buy?"

"Ah..." Ena really thought about it for a moment, "Probably not."

"Oh..." Shanks nodded, but his feet did not move. Eina frowned in confusion: "What's wrong?"

The red-haired man showed a rare expression of embarrassment and looked at the sky with some embarrassment: "Just...are you sure you have all the necessities in your space, right?"

Eina was even more surprised: "I'm sure."

Shanks was already scratching his hair in embarrassment: "I mean daily necessities...daily necessities and so on. Because you are a girl, there will definitely not be anything you need on the ship. If the amount is not enough, you'd better save more, otherwise you will get off the ship." You won't be able to use it until we dock."

The silver-haired girl was confused by his question, and it took a lot of effort to understand what he meant.

After she understood it, she wanted to be angry and laugh at the same time. She made a distorted expression with a sullen face, but in the end she couldn't hold back either side.

She jumped up and punched Shanks on the shoulder, and she couldn't hold back the laughter anymore: "Are you an idiot Shanks!"

Shanks defended while avoiding her weak fist: "Jesus Bu told me?? He reminded me that there was more than one woman on the ship before, so the things you bought were all complete, but we were definitely not prepared on the ship. But let me ask you if you want to buy some back!"

Ena laughed even louder, and then she laughed so hard that she slowly stopped moving the Hammer Shanks.

Shanks quickly put one hand on her back and lifted her down. The girl laughed and gasped while holding his arm.

"Should...should I say that he is worthy of being a man with a wife and children..." Eina was about to burst into tears with laughter, "Jesus Bu actually has such a careful side."

Shanks looked at him helplessly, the tips of his ears hidden in his red hair were slightly red. He was still confused after being laughed at without any malice by a girl who was so much younger for a long time.

No matter the age difference, a woman will always be a woman.

It is a creature that men cannot understand.

You can't mess with him, or you'll get blasted like him, and you won't be able to fight back.

Ena really hasn't smiled like this in a long time. The last time she was teased like this was Luffy's chopstick-inserting-nostril dance.

These stupid men! After she laughed, she was moved. They really wanted to take good care of her and treat her as a member of the ship. Even if she has only been here for two years.

It's just that they chose the most idiotic contemporary representative to describe them, which is really laughable.

"If you want to remind me to buy daily necessities for girls, just say so directly. Why are you pulling your hair and rolling your eyes? It makes me think that you have secretly broken something of mine, and you are asking me to check and replace it. "She looked at the embarrassed Shanks with a smile. This scene was even rarer than the silly Yonko last night.

"Huh? So you said it's a woman's thing, and I don't know how to describe it! I thought you were keeping it very private, and I was afraid of being scolded by you if I said it directly, but I'd still get scolded by you if I said it in a subtle way!" Shanks said. Complain to her in an angry manner.

Angry - this word is just too cute for a man who is nearly forty years old. But it doesn't feel out of place on Shanks.

Every cell of Eina is now inspired by the long-lost happiness and good spirit. She now looks at the man in front of her with a ten-level cuteness filter.

"Come on, come on, I know, I will check the inventory and buy it."

"So why are you smiling so happily..."

"Can you think about it and tell me if there is anything you want to buy separately? You just looked like a junior high school student who has never been in love, okay?"

"Ah? Brat, who do you think is a junior high school student?"

"So it's not like you've never been in love, right?"

Shanks' words stopped abruptly, and he closed his mouth and looked at her with a little anger.

Ena was not afraid. "Why are you staring at me? You are forty years old and don't tell me that you have never been in love."

This guy can't be more naughty after he feels better! Shanks suddenly found the long-lost feeling of raising a 13-year-old child.

But he was damn happy to see her like this.

At least she was smiling, which was more than ten Shanks' shameless problems.

So he sighed as if surrendering: "First of all, I am only 37 years old...Secondly, I really can't be counted as having been in many relationships."

Even if there seemed to be one or two who maintained a short-term relationship, it soon ended without any problems. The girls in the New World who can maintain a relationship with the Four Emperors are not sloppy, and have long been prepared for the other party to run to the sea at any time.

The rest can't even be considered a romantic relationship. At most...at most, it's like that of pirates. It's something you and I agree on, and it won't cause any trouble.

Of course, there are also people who get into trouble and solve major life problems at the same time, but at least the red-haired pirates don't.

Shanks also had very little enthusiasm for this kind of thing. When he was young, he was busy getting stronger. Later, when he became the Yonko, he became more reserved and would only occasionally solve his needs.

As he gets older, his enthusiasm becomes less and less. Many times, girls are not as attractive to him as a barrel of good wine.

Eina was surprised at first, but then thinking about the men on her ship, she suddenly felt that Shanks was quite normal.

Maybe these men who are destined to do big things don't stick to emotional issues, so whether they are straw hats or redheads, the love rate is appallingly low.

As for the case of Jesus Bu, in fact, from a family perspective, it is quite irresponsible behavior. Banchina raised her children alone, and her husband was not around when she died of illness.

So it’s better for pirates not to fall in love casually.

Shanks didn't know why the girl who was out of breath laughing just now suddenly turned serious, as if she was thinking about something. He stretched out his hand to take the distracted girl off the boat and said, "Where are we going now?"

As a result, the girl suddenly looked at him seriously: "Shanks, it's great that you don't fall in love."

"...Huh?" Shanks didn't understand, but he did understand one thing.

Yes, it’s great not to fall in love, women are so difficult to understand.

Eina sighed: "It's okay, you don't understand."

I really don't understand!

"Let's find a place to train first. We'll talk about daily necessities before we leave." The girl made a decision.

"it is good…"
