One Piece: Heart Set Sail

This dull atmosphere lasted for a while. When the ship was far away from the island and only a shadow could be seen, Xue wiped away her tears and looked at Luo again. He was still standing far away with his head lowered.

She walked up to Luo and held his big hand, but she didn't know what to say to comfort her. She just called him stupidly: "Brother Luo..."

Luo didn't answer, and Xue also knew that he must be in a very bad mood now. After all, Luo cared about Joey very much, and her sudden disappearance caught everyone off guard.

Alistea.

"I told you, he doesn't care about you as much as you think." A strange man raised his lips: "You yourself have seen the future from the Divine Pond. You should believe it now, right?"

"Did you really leave me like this... Why?! Luo! Why?!" Joey's shout was drowned in the sound of waves hitting the rocks: "Luo, I hate you."

"How about coming with me?"

Joey turned around with a blank expression: "Okay..."

"Hahahahaha, smart decision." The man smiled proudly.

During the two days of sailing, the atmosphere on the ship was extremely depressing. Luo always stayed in his room by himself and did not come out to eat for several meals.

"Xia Qi, Peijin, what should we do? Brother Luo will definitely be hungry if he doesn't eat." Xue looked at the rice balls placed on the dining table in front of Luo's seat and almost felt cold.

"We don't know what to do. The captain is in a bad mood right now. I don't dare to disturb him." Xia Qi wiped his face.

"Same." Pekin's index finger kept tapping on the table, and his other hand held his chin. The crew members were not very enthusiastic, although they were all doing their own thing silently.

Xue pouted: "I'll go." She stood on the chair, put a few rice balls in the bowl, and then trotted to Luo's room.

Knock on the door: "Brother Luo?" No one answered, Xue knocked again: "Are you asleep? Brother Luo? I'm in."

She stood on tiptoe, unscrewed the door, and stuck her head in.

Luo leaned on the head of the bed and rested his arms, closing his eyes and seeming to be recuperating. Xue walked over gently, put the bowl with rice balls on the small cabinet beside the bed, and then shook Luo gently.

"Brother Luo, it's time to eat."

Luo opened his eyes without looking at the rice balls: "You guys can eat."

"No, Brother Luo, you always have to go without food. If Sister Joy knew about it, she would definitely be angry with you."

Luo looked at Xue and said, "Just leave it here. You can go eat."

"Well! Brother Luo, don't worry, all of us will be with you!" Xue put her hands on the edge of the bed and looked at Luo with watery eyes.

Luo nodded, then hugged Xue into his arms: "Be obedient and live a good life in the future."

"Brother Luo, what happened to you all of a sudden?" Xue Ye raised his arms to hug Luo, and patted him comfortingly: "I will live well, because I can't bear to leave you all."

"Ah."

"Brother Luo, can you eat the rice balls now? Kaiden worked hard for a long time to make them." Xue looked up at Luo.

"Ah."

"Hehe, I knew you would eat it." Xueqi took one and said, "Here, there are no prunes in it."

"Ah."

Seeing Luo finishing a rice ball, Xue smiled happily and said randomly: "Brother Luo, you will come out to eat starting tonight. If you don't come, I will bring it to you." Then, she left Luo. room and gently closed the door for him.

"Pei Jin! I'm telling you, Brother Luo ate it." Xue felt very accomplished.

"Ah, it's true. When I went to deliver food to the captain yesterday, the captain didn't even eat." Bebo felt a little disappointed.

"Hey, don't you want to be jealous of Xiaoxue?" Peijin patted Beibo and said, "Xiaoxue is our group favorite."

"Haha, is it true?" Xue asked.

"Of course." Xia Qi responded.

In the following days, everyone was preparing to enter the Grand Line in the coming year. Gradually, everyone was relieved about Joey's disappearance, thinking that she was no longer alive.Luo became stronger and more ruthless, winning every battle. After several battles, the Red Heart Pirates also added new members, and the Red Heart Pirates grew stronger and stronger.

The treasure Heart of the Ocean brought back from Alistea has been kept in Luo's place. No one has yet found a way to unlock the seal, let alone the spell about the Heart of the Ocean, so the gem is still in a dusty state.

"Xiaoxue, today you, Pekin and Kaiden go to the town to buy ingredients. We and the captain will go to the mountains and forests to the east to see if we can find any useful herbs." Xia Qi gave Xue a small backpack with some of it inside. Money: “If you want to eat something, buy it.”

"Wow, that's great. Did Brother Luo give out pocket money today?" Xue quickly took the backpack and held it carefully.

"Yes, the captain sold the loot from last time."

"Pei Jin! Then let's go eat ice cream!" Xue looked forward to it.

"Okay, okay, let's go! Kaiden!" Pekin called Kaiden, and the three of them went to the town together.

There are many small vendors in the town. Every time the snow comes, she will spend a long time shopping. Today is no exception. She asked the two of them to accompany her. She ate ice cream first, then bought clothes and small hairpins, and finally went to buy what she needed. of ingredients.

In the last food store on the coastal street, Pei Jin and Caiden started shopping. Xue stood at the door, flipping the new gadgets she bought.

At the end of the road was the sea, and suddenly a call came from the other side: "Little girl, come here."

"Huh?" Xue looked over there: "Did someone call me just now?"

"Come on, come on." It was that voice again.

Xue heard it really clearly this time, so she moved slowly and walked to the beach. When she saw the source of the sound, she looked surprised and stood there in fear, not daring to go any further: "Siren? !”

The other party frowned, then smiled softly: "You may have made a mistake, I am not a siren."

"Yes, but your lower body has a fish tail..."

"Those with fish tails on the lower body are not necessarily sirens. I am a mermaid. Let me introduce myself. My name is Lan Shan." She smiled. She had long blue hair and was very beautiful. She asked again. Said: "What's your name?"

"Snow, Xia Xue."

The mermaid looked at Xue for a few seconds and didn't know what she was thinking. Then she took out a picture and showed it to Xue and asked: "Xiaoxue, can you answer a question for me? Have you seen this thing?" Drawn on the picture, It was actually something Xue was extremely familiar with, her pendant!

Xue subconsciously held the pendant hanging close to her body in her clothes: "This, is there anything special about this thing?"

"It's nothing, but I'm looking for someone. This is one of the few clues." Lan Shan looked at Xue with an expression that Xue couldn't understand, and she didn't dare to say that the pendant was on her body.

"Then why are you looking for that person?"

"It's a secret."

Xue didn't know whether she should tell Lan Shan that the pendant was on her body. When she was hesitating, she heard Peijin's voice behind her.

"Xiaoxue? What are you doing there?" Peijin walked over.

"It was a mermaid who called me just now, that's her... Huh?" Xue pointed to the sea, but at this time there was no sign of the mermaid in the sea: "What's going on? She was still here just now."

"Mermaid?" Peijin became alert: "Is it blue?"

"Eh? How do you know, Peijin?" Xue was surprised: "Do you know each other?"

"Oops, Xiaoxue, what did you say to her?"

Seeing that Peijin's expression was unusually serious, Xue Yue felt something was wrong: "No, no, she asked me what my name was. I said my name was Xia Xue, but she asked me if I had ever seen... Well, it’s my pendant, but I didn’t tell her.”

"Hurry! Kaiden, we have to go back quickly! We are being targeted!" Peijin's expression changed, and without saying a word, he picked up Xue, called Kaiden and ran back.

Xue was being held by Peijin, and his violent running made Xue very uncomfortable: "Peijin! What happened? How could it be so bad?! Who is that mermaid Lanshan?"

Caiden didn't know why, so he just ran back frantically with Pekin, who dialed the phone while running.

"Pei Jin? What's wrong?" When Luo received the call, he could clearly feel Pei Jin's impatience from the phone bug's expression.

Peijin panted: "It's a mermaid, and it's targeting us again. What should we do, Captain?!"

"We'll go back right away!"

Snow was in a state of confusion all the way, including the members who joined the Heart Pirates later, and they didn't know anything about it. The only ones who were nervous were Luo, Xia Qi, Pei Jin and Beibo.

"Captain, can you tell us what's going on?"

"Everyone is now ready to change bases. Kaiden and Xavier are responsible for the food and medicinal materials, and the rest are ready to sail." Luo looked at Xue who was still being held by Peijin: "Take Xiaoxue to pack things."

"Yes, Captain!"

Everyone was in a hurry and could only obey the captain's orders completely.In the end, Kaiden couldn't help but ask: "Xia Qi, what exactly is going on? Why is the captain so afraid of that mermaid?"

Xia Qi said seriously: "It's not because she is afraid of her. Her goal is not us, but Xiaoxue."

"what?!"

"When she was very young, her name was not Xia Xue. She had a very nice name, Ojesia. But then the captain discovered that some people were looking for her all over the North Sea." Xia Qi recalled : "It is precisely because of this that the captain changed her name and asked everyone to call her Xiaoxue."

Kayden had never heard of it: "Who were those?"

"I don't know. We only know that their leader is the blue mermaid Xiaoxue saw today. It's called Lan Shan. The captain means that the mermaid probably has bad intentions, so she must not be allowed to get close to Xiaoxue."

"Captain, is it really okay for us not to tell Xiaoxue about the mermaid?" Bebo asked: "What if we enter the Grand Line in the future and they find Xiaoxue again?"

Luo Wuyan, in fact, he was also considering this matter.But after that, everyone still didn't tell Xue about it. In the end, only Xue didn't know the whole story. She had long forgotten that she had met Lan Shan when she was a child.

And Luo soon led the Heart Pirates to start moving their base. It took about three days to sail north from Karnas Island to reach the new base.
