One Piece: Free Ronin

"Uncle Smile, we are about to cross the windless zone! Hahaha."

On the fast-flying small wooden boat, Flo saw that the sea below was no longer as calm as before, and he shouted happily.

"Ah, I heard it too, the sound of the waves. Then it's time for us to land, hold on tight, captain!!" He said with a smile, and then saw the height of the small wooden boat slowly decreasing, but this time But there was no sudden braking, but it still maintained the previous speed and flew forward...

Soon after, the small wooden boat started rowing on the sea surface as if it was floating on the water. The bodies of Yixiao and Flo on the boat also bumped...until the kinetic energy was finally exhausted, it was still stable. stopped...

After the boat stopped, Flo turned around and faced Yixiao and said, "Uncle, this little wooden boat is really strong. It didn't fall apart even after being tossed around like this by you..."

"Brother, you are worrying too much, I am still very measured, hahaha," Yixiao said with some embarrassment.

Picking up the oar, Flo started rowing the boat quickly again, and said as he rowed: "Okay. But now we have to try our luck again. If we want to encounter a ship or an inhabited island as soon as possible, we'd better do it as soon as possible." It’s better to stay away from windless areas...”

Yixiao nodded and said: "That's right."

Flo shook the oar, scanning the surrounding sea with his eyes from time to time, and said angrily: "But being a pirate is too boring like this. We have to find a way to search the ship first, and there are navigators! Let's go and rob someone. How about a pirate ship? Hahaha”

"Robbing a pirate ship? I don't have any objection... It can be considered as indirectly eliminating harm for the people of Beihai." Yixiao agreed.

"Uncle is so kind, hahaha"

Just rowing and chatting like this, time passed slowly...

As night fell, the stars twinkled in the endless night sky. Flo also put down the oar at this time and let the small wooden boat drift with the current, and his body undulated with the wooden boat on the sea.

He looked up at the bright starry sky. Even though he had been in the world of One Piece for so many years and had seen such a beautiful starry sky countless times, he just felt that he couldn't see enough...

Turning around to look at Yixiao, he suddenly asked softly: "Uncle Yixiao, what does it feel like to be in the dark? Will it be lonely?"

He was crossing his legs and stroking the wooden stick. He didn't know what he was thinking. He was stunned when he heard Flo's words. Then he chuckled and said, "Brother Flo, are you feeling pity for me? The night is beautiful, right?" "

As he spoke, he also looked up at the sky, shook his head and sighed: "I have seen such beautiful scenery before, and there are still vague images in my memory...so brother, you don't have to feel sorry for me. And now It's a blessing not to see things. There are too many dirty and dirty people in the world that people can't bear to look at... Just think that I have exchanged light for inner peace. In my opinion, this transaction is still good. That’s fair.”

Flo said, "But I don't think it's worth it...Uncle, your heart may not be really peaceful. You must know that closing your eyes doesn't mean it will be dark, and your eyes can't only see." Dark and unjust things... Since you can't bear to look at them, just let the people who taint your eyes disappear. I believe you have such ability. Of course, I don't mean to disrespect your choice, it's just that I want to say, if I could find someone to heal your eyes, would you choose to regain your sight?"

Yixiao's body trembled after hearing this, and he "gazed" at Flo with a solemn expression, and unconsciously wiped the scars on his face with his right hand.

He said in a deep voice: "The captain is very thoughtful...I have to admit that I deceived myself a little bit by defrauding my eyes before. Because of this, I missed a lot of beautiful things. Although I am in the dark, I can't "see" anymore. The ugliness in this world has made me develop a strong sense of domineering power, but if I have the chance, I would still like to see the world with my eyes..."

Flo smiled happily: "That's right! Of course you have to take a good look at the world again. Hahaha, that's it, uncle! I will definitely let you see the light again!"

"Brother, are you so sure? You must know that my eyes are completely destroyed..." Yixiao couldn't help but wonder after hearing this.

Flo laughed confidently and said: "Ah hahaha, there are devil fruits in this sea that can give people magical powers! And I know that three years ago, a surgical fruit that claimed to give people eternal life appeared in the North Sea. ..I think if I find the person who ate the fruit of the operation, I will be able to cure your eyes!"

Yixiao was stunned when he heard this, and said in surprise: "The result of the operation? So is this the reason why you chose to come to Beihai?"

"That's part of the reason, and traveling around the world is what I want to do! Since the hope of curing your eyes, uncle, lies in Beihai, there is no doubt that we should come to Beihai first! Hahaha" Flo said with a smile Waving hands

Yixiao sighed softly, "You are really thoughtful, little captain."

"No, this is what I should do! You are my partner!" Flo said solemnly.

When Yixiao heard the words, a warm current flowed through his heart, and he whispered to himself: "Partner?"

Flo looked at the complicated expression on Yixiao's face and thought to himself: "If we find Luo, it shouldn't be a problem to cure the uncle's eyes. I just don't know how Luo's abilities are developed now. If they haven't been developed to this extent yet, If that’s the case, you’ll have to wait a while longer..."

The two of them fell silent, each focusing on his own thoughts...

At night, the sea breeze blows and the bright moon hangs high. The sea surface seems to be covered with a layer of silver gauze, and the waves are flowing and even beautiful.

About an hour later, just when Flo was about to fall asleep.

Yixiao suddenly raised his head, poked Flo with the wooden stick in his hand and said, "Brother Flo, we should have something to do."

Before Flo could react, he activated his ability, and the small wooden boat immediately left the water, veered slightly, and flew forward.

The moment the wooden boat took off, Flo quickly grabbed onto the edge of the boat and realized what had happened.

I just heard him sigh: "Uncle Yixiao, your domineering spirit is really powerful. I haven't noticed anything yet."

Yixiao nodded and said honestly: "I just tried my best to sense it once on a whim, and I happened to find something..."

After the wooden boat flew for a certain distance, Flo's Haki sensed what Yi Xiao said.

He opened his eyes suddenly, turned around Yixiao's broad body and looked forward.

In the distance, there were two vague silhouettes of ships moving one behind the other.

Getting closer, Flo finally saw clearly what was happening ahead.

I just heard him shouting against the strong wind blowing at high speed: "There seems to be a battle ahead. Hahaha, maybe we can really grab a pirate ship this time!"

Yixiao nodded and said solemnly, "The one chasing behind does seem to be a pirate ship. I sensed that almost everyone on that ship was exuding violent and crazy emotions. And the ship in front seemed to be a merchant ship or something. On the passenger ship, the people on it are basically afraid..."

At this time, the distance between the small wooden boat and the two boats chasing and escaping in front was less than 100 meters, and the distance was reached in an instant.

Just listen to Flo shouting: "Ah, it's true. It seems that we are almost catching up, but we arrived in time. Hahaha, you can stop, uncle!"

As soon as Flo finished speaking, the small wooden boat suddenly stopped between the two large boats.

Flo rushed forward due to the huge inertia, and the edge of the boat he was holding on to with both hands was torn off by him, and his whole body was thrown straight towards Yixiao.

At this time, I saw a smile and turned his body to one side, just passing by Flo, with a simple and honest smile on his face.

Flo's face froze and he shouted loudly: "Uncle, you definitely did it on purpose!"

Then the whole person flew out.

Jian Yixiao had no intention of holding him back. He had no choice but to quickly adjust his body shape in the air, stamping on the air very quickly to remove the kinetic energy of his forward thrust...

He used the Moon Step to steady his body in the air, turned around and looked towards Yixiao.

It was discovered that the pirate ship that was rapidly chasing the ship in front had stopped dangerously on the sea less than two meters away from the small wooden boat.

As soon as Flo thought about it, he knew that he activated his ability with a smile, and when he stopped, he was about to hit their pirate ship.

I also understand why Yixiao didn’t hold him back...
