One Piece: Heart Set Sail

Early the next morning, Xue got up sleepily, yawning from time to time: "I'm so tired. Why am I still so tired even though I've had a good night's sleep?"

Xiaochan folded the quilt and turned around to look at Xiaoxue, a little surprised: "You..."

"Me? What's wrong with me?" Xue said with a cute look on her face, "Is there anything abnormal?"

"It's true." Ikaku also stared at the snow and looked up and down: "I think you seem to have grown taller, and your hair is longer than yesterday, and all the injuries on your body are gone."

"Ah? What? I'd better go and see for myself." So, Xue walked to the mirror and was a little stunned: "Oh my god... I... I grew taller overnight, and I was even a head taller than yesterday. , and this hair, what's going on?" The hem of Xue's nightgown used to reach her calves, but now it can't even reach her knees, and her hair, which wasn't originally very long, suddenly reached her waist.And the previous deep and shallow wounds completely disappeared overnight.

"Xiaoxue, this should be the reason for the Devil Fruit. I remember the housekeeper said that if a child eats it, he will become a young man. You are growing rapidly now, so your injury is healed." Ika Cool remembered what the old grandma said when we were in the castle.

Xiaochan felt it was incredible, but also worried: "Xiaoxue, do you feel uncomfortable? If so, please go to the captain to check for you."

"It should be fine. I also know some medical skills. I just feel a little tired now. Maybe it's fatigue caused by rapid growth." Xue touched her cheek, and her childish appearance was gradually fading away. It might not take two or three days. She will grow up like Xiaochan and Ikaku.

It was really not easy for Xue today. It took her a long time to comb her hair, pick and choose clothes that fit her slightly, and then went to the dining room with Ikaku and Xiaochan.

"Xiaoxue? Is that you?" Bebo was stunned on the spot holding the dinner plate: "Why did you suddenly become like this?"

"Wow, a woman has changed, but she won't change so quickly, right?" Kaiden held a spoon in his hand and looked at Xue with a surprised look on his face.

Luo had just arrived. When he saw this scene, he frowned: "Why did you suddenly become like this?"

"It's a side effect of the Devil Fruit." Xue sighed and said, "I'm growing at a very fast speed, but I should stop when I grow like Xiaochan."

Luo came over and put the back of his hand on Xue's forehead. He looked around her again before asking, "Is there anything uncomfortable?"

"No, I just feel a little tired now. You shouldn't worry too much." Xue smiled.

Luo breathed a sigh of relief when he confirmed that she was okay for now.

Ika Ku said while eating: "Xiaoxue, I think you must pay attention these days and tell us if there is an emergency."

"Yeah, I know." Xue pulled out the chair and looked at Luo, who was sitting down at the same time: "Brother Luo, I'm actually really looking forward to what I will be like when I grow up, hehe."

"Really?" Luo recalled the happiest time as a child, and then said to Xue: "When you grow up, it's not so fun."

As you get older, it's not that fun.Listening to Luo's words, Xue remembered that her mother once told her that Luo's world did not have so many beautiful things. For the first time, Xue felt a little emotional. She didn't know which point in her heart it touched. For the first time, she had feelings for Luo. Although he felt distressed, he also said with a smile: "For me, as long as Brother Luo, Beibo, Xiaochan and everyone are around, I will not be afraid no matter what happens. Brother Luo thinks so too." Right."

Luo showed an imperceptible smile: "Yes."

Today's breakfast was quite rich, but there were still no slices of bread or dried prunes on the table.Even Xue herself didn't notice that she didn't chatter as much as before during dinner this morning.

After dinner, she practiced with Luo again. She was confused from yesterday to now, and she had to slowly adapt to this ability.

"Are you ready?"

"Ok!"

"room."

Luo opened the blue film, and Xue recalled what happened yesterday. She seemed to have high-fived Krist, so she stretched out her hand to high-five Luo, but nothing changed.

"Eh? Why didn't you respond?" Xue was puzzled.

Luo was not in a hurry and said calmly: "If you think about it again, have you lost that detail?"

"Details?" Xue tried hard to recall. She only remembered that it accidentally fell from Christ's head. What other details were there?

"Which hand did you just use?"

"The left hand."

"Think about which hand you used yesterday." Luo saw that she couldn't think of it after thinking about it for a long time, so he had to think about it by himself.

"It seems to be the right hand!" Xue decided to try again.This time, when Luo opened the ability circle, Xue stretched out her right hand, and in an instant, the ability circle of the surgical fruit disappeared.

The few people watching were stunned. Bebo's little eyes widened: "Xiaoxue can actually make the captain's circle of ability disappear, wow!"

"Brother Luo? What am I..." Xue looked at her right hand in disbelief: "Brother Luo, can you not use your abilities now?"

Luo tried to activate Room again, but failed. It was as if the Devil Fruit's ability suddenly disappeared: "You try using Room."

Xue obeyed obediently. She followed Luo's example and concentrated on feeling: "room." Instantly, the familiar circle of ability appeared in Xue's hands, but after this time, she did not succeed again.

Luo nodded, he had already guessed: "I understand your ability in general. It basically means that you can seize the opponent's ability for your own use, but it seems that it can only be used once, so I will call it copying for short."

Xue listened obediently and nodded.

Luo continued: "Try next. You copy my ability again. This time you don't use it. Let's see how long it takes for me to recover." If this fruit takes away other people's ability, Xue will be able to use it as long as the enemy is not used. If it cannot be used, it is definitely a weapon that can be fatal to the opponent.

"Ok."

So he did it again. Luo waited for more than half an hour before restarting his ability. Sure enough, this ability was still not so incredible.He asked Xue and himself to use room at the same time again, and this time they both opened an aperture.

"Brother Luo, it's so magical!" Xue exclaimed.

"If you seize the opponent's ability during a battle, you can only use it once, and it cannot exceed half an hour, otherwise the opponent's ability will be restored, and if you are not as proficient in his ability as the enemy, it is very likely that you will lose. Luo analyzed: "So be sure to deal with your enemy within half an hour."

Xue nodded in understanding. There seemed to be a lot to pay attention to in this ability, so let's take it slow.

"In addition to the ability to copy, what else can this fruit do?" Xue asked again.

"It all depends on how you develop the fruit's ability. You must know that there are no incompetent fruits, only incompetent ability users. Do you understand, Xiaoxue?"

"I understand, I will work hard and develop it slowly."

"Ah."

After that, Xue and Beibo sat on the side of the boat and caught fish together. She suddenly felt that the scenery on the sea had become different: "Beibo, look, there are only a few seagulls and us on this huge sea." A pirate ship is empty, but rough waves or strong enemies may appear in the next second. I just discovered today that everyone has been through difficulties one after another like this and sailing forward persistently."

"Yes, the Grand Line is like this, but Xiaoxue, I find that you are very different today."

"It's different. I was plagued by side effects, so I grew taller." Xue shrugged, she had accepted this helpless side effect.

Bebo shook his head: "I'm not talking about appearance."

"what?"

"I'm talking about the heart." Bebo pointed to his heart: "Xiaoxue, could it be said that the side effects of this Devil Fruit not only caused your body to grow rapidly, but also your mind to grow rapidly?"

Xue frowned. If Bebo hadn't said this, she would never have thought of it: "What you said seems to be true. I feel a little strange."

"What's strange?" Bebo asked worriedly.

"It seems that at a certain moment, I can understand things that I have never felt before. It's like I can now understand the meaning of some of the words my parents said before." Xue tasted it carefully, recalling the past : "Bebo, brother Luo suffered a lot when he was a child, right?"

"Yes, the captain raised a pirate group by himself when he was less than 15 years old. He must have experienced a lot of hardships when he was a child, but the captain has never told us, not even me." Bebo lowered his head: "The captain often won't tell us what's on his mind. He always keeps it to himself. In fact, we also want to share his pain with him, even just a little bit."

"It's really like this." There was a strange feeling in Xue's heart. It had never happened before, and it was the second time today: "Bebo, whenever I think of Brother Luo, I have to bear the responsibility alone." There is so much pain, and I feel so sad, a sadness that cannot be expressed, why is this?"

"This is because when you grow up, you learn to care about others. In this way, it is actually not a bad thing."

"That's true." Xue took a deep breath: "Bebo, no matter what happens in the future, I want to share the burden with Brother Luo. His matter is our matter, right?"

Bebo also nodded sonorously. After a while, he still remembered that the fish took the bait. The two of them caught several big fish. It looked like they could add more fish tonight.

"Xiaoxue." Xavier suddenly appeared behind the two of them.

"It's Xavier, what's going on?"

"You are indeed, as Bebo said before, you must be a very beautiful person when you grow up." Looking at the snow that had already taken shape, Xavier admired.

Xue was embarrassed: "I didn't know that Bebo had praised me so much. I'm really touched."

"Of course you don't know, that's what it said when you and Joey were learning to dance together."

"Joy..." Xue's eyes fell: "She is really a good sister, but we will never see her again. She must also be a deep scar in Brother Luo's heart."

"I guess so.
