One Piece: Heart Set Sail

"I thought you had something on your mind. Do you have someone you like?" Xavier secretly thought in his heart. Pekin's longing for Xiaochan has been made public. If Xiaochan If the person Chan likes is not him, wouldn't that be embarrassing?

"Where are you thinking? I'm just asking." She closed the book, held her chin in her hands, and looked towards the distant sky: "I mean, if it were you, what would you do?"

"At least, test it out. If the person you like also likes you, he will definitely respond. If you don't get any response, it means he is not interested in you." Xavier took the book: "No I thought you were also interested in zodiac signs."

"Of course, this world is very magical, and the things in the sky are even more magical. And I heard that the time when everyone was born has a corresponding constellation." Xiaochan pointed to a picture in the book: "This is Libra, which corresponds to the captain's birthday, so the captain should be Libra."

"Well, there are twelve constellations. Actually, there are more than one. There is also one called Ophiuchus, which is a very mysterious constellation."

"I didn't expect you really know so much, not only about sirens and elves, but also music and medicine. Now I know that you also know some astronomy. Do you think you are well-read?" Xiao Chan was amazed. , Xavier is really a wizard.

"It's just out of interest, you're not bad either."

"What are you two studying here?" Pekin's voice suddenly appeared: "What book is this?"

"It's a horoscope book. I've been more interested in this recently, so I looked for it and took a look. It happened that Xavier also knew something about it, so we discussed it together."

Peijin picked up the constellation book and flipped through it. He said that he didn't understand the astronomical knowledge very well, but since Xiaochan was interested, he could go to the library and take a look.

"There's a small island ahead!" It wasn't just someone who shouted this, everyone's attention was drawn to it.

"Hey, this island looks really small." It is only about the size of three submarines, but although it is small, it does not affect the lush vegetation on the island.

"Captain, do we want to land on the island? It's getting dark, and there are many reefs around." Bebo has surveyed and found that if we continue sailing, it will be dark and there is a high possibility of running aground on the rocks: "Would you like to rest here for a night? Anyway, we are not in a hurry to arrive at the Shampoo Islands at this time."

"Well, let's all take a rest."

Kaiden led a few people to the island. Unexpectedly, there were a lot of wild vegetables on the island. This time, there was no shortage of food on the ship.Xue also followed her to the island. She wanted to continue to develop the ability to copy the fruit. After all, although she had made some achievements so far, she could not be satisfied and did not want to make progress.

"Besides items and abilities, what else can I copy?" Looking at the small jungle in front of her, Xue fell into thinking: "Perhaps, I can try how to copy living creatures?"

"Bugu, Bugu..."

"Hey, this is it? It's a cuckoo, right? Well, I thought of it!" Xue looked in the direction of the bird's cry.

"Xiaoxue, where are you going? Be careful!" Kaiden kept urging from behind.

"I know, Kaiden! Don't worry!" Xue stopped beside a big tree. The bird was standing on the branch of the tree, with soft feathers and a light body. Its agile eyes also saw the snow under the tree.

Xue's mind was filled with knowledge from medical books at the moment.Regarding birds, it is not as complex as the human body. Perhaps we can start studying it, but after all, copying living creatures is something that violates the laws of nature, and it is certainly not something that can be succeeded casually.

"Little bird, I have to trouble you to help me with my research!" Xue gathered her strength and jumped onto the branch. She tried to be gentle with her movements so as not to scare away the cuckoo: "Good boy, don't move."

She gradually came closer, and when she was just a little bit away, the cuckoo still felt it keenly, and was about to fly as soon as he saw its soft wings.Naturally, Xue couldn't let it run away. She rushed forward quickly, held the cuckoo in her hand, and then flipped to the ground smoothly: "I caught you, little guy! Don't worry, I just asked you to do it for me." Research will not roast you and eat it.”

She returned to the beach happily, and Kaiden and others also came back with baskets of vegetables: "Xiaoxue, did you go to catch birds?"

"Yes, I want to study how to copy living creatures. Maybe I can further develop my abilities. Can you help me make a birdcage?"

"definitely no problem."

"Oops! Oops! Please help me take a look!" Curioni raised his hands impatiently: "What should I do? Am I poisoned? Look at how my hands are all turned into It’s purple?!”

"Oh my God, what did you just do?"

"God knows you can't pick the mushrooms under the tree over there. They originally looked like ordinary non-toxic mushrooms, but I just picked two of them, and look, my hands turned into this!" Curioni He jumped anxiously: "It's so numb! I can't feel it anymore! I can't feel it anymore! Captain, help me!!". [-]

Luo: "..."

"Fortunately, I didn't go pick that mushroom just now." Bebo breathed a sigh of relief. Originally, he was going to go with Curioni, but Kaiden called him over to dig some ginger halfway: "I almost went with Curioni. It’s the same as Ni.”

It took a while for Curioni's hand to regain feeling, thanks to Luo's injection of medicine. At this moment, he was hanging out of water in the lounge: "I was scared to death. It was really a near miss. I won’t be so quick next time.”

"Captain, we have run out of saline solution. We have to go to the next island to replenish supplies." Xia Qi said: "Although we got a lot of medicines in the elf town, they are almost all rare medicines. We have very few basic medicines left. .”

"Well, then go to the next island and prepare all the supplies that need to be supplied."

Xue concentrated on studying the cuckoo. Seeing how interested she was, Luo followed her and asked, "What new ideas did you come up with?"

"Well! I want to see if I can replicate living things. If I can replicate cells, according to the principle of cell regeneration, I think I should be able to succeed. The strength of each cell should be the same as the mother body. Maybe I can Use the replica in battle." Snow said her thoughts while finding a place to temporarily place the cuckoo.

"You can try it, but the risk must be kept to a minimum. After all, you don't know whether the replica can be used by you. If it can't, it would be worse."

"Brother Luo is right, I do need to pay attention to this, so I will not clone humans or very powerful animals and plants until I can ensure that the clones completely obey my command."

"Ah."

Xue stayed in the research room all night, and Luo also stayed with her all night, ending in the latter half of the night.Xue went to the kitchen and brought two glasses of wine: "Thank you for your hard work, Brother Luo. Without your guidance, I wouldn't have made such rapid progress."

"It's nothing. You're tired too. You've made all the records for today. Let's continue tomorrow."

"Okay." Xue took a sip of wine and felt it was very mellow: "It's so pleasant to be able to drink a little wine every night."

Luo thinks so too, and he has almost developed the habit of drinking red wine before going to bed every night.He sat in front of the desk, looked sideways, and caught a glimpse of the band-aid on Xue's neck. He couldn't help but feel a strange feeling in his heart.

"Xiaoxue, come here."

"Huh?" Xue looked at Luo in confusion, but still walked towards him and sat on the edge of the bed, slightly lower than Luo who was sitting on the chair.

In the long, silent night, the two people looked at each other. Luo instinctively felt that the girl in front of him and himself seemed to have fallen into a bottomless abyss. Little did he know that deep down in his heart, this girl with flowing blond hair and always smiling face had gradually... Replaced the girl who disappeared in Alistea.

He started to take off the band-aid on Xue's neck, but Xue's eyes quickly held him down: "What are you doing?"

"Let me see, are you ready?"

"It's better to say goodbye, brother Luo, he's feeling much better already."

Luo still pulled away Xue's hand from his neck: "I'll help you, it'll be fine soon." He still took off the poor band-aid, but when he saw the mark, he froze. This is not what Xue said at all, but if it is not, then...

Xue's cheeks were red, and she turned her face to the side, not even daring to look at Luo: "You, look, I told you it will be fine soon, it's okay."

"you…"

"Brother Luo, it's too late tonight. I, I'm going back to the room first. You should have a rest soon. Good night." Xue said and quickly left Luo's room. After going back, she took several deep breaths. Her heartbeat was so fast!Why did you want to escape so much just now?

And Luo, at that moment, he suddenly remembered that that night, in the elf town, beside the Moon Mirror Pond, he was thinking about her... At this moment, the two people who were at a loss were thinking about each other.

"Why would I do that kind of thing? To Xiaoxue?" Luo reflected on himself and felt that his heartbeat was unusual: "I thought it was just a dream, but it turned out not to be. It was not Joey but Xiaoxue that day."

He couldn't sleep tonight. Joey's figure flashed in his mind, and Snow's figure flashed in his mind. He didn't know what was wrong with him. The sea outside was extremely calm, but there were turbulent waves in his heart.

In the morning, when Xue woke up, she looked confusedly at the white clouds floating in the distance outside the cabin, and remembered Luo's horrified look when he saw the marks under his band-aid.I don't know what he was thinking about this night. In short, it was quite embarrassing no matter how I thought about it.If I tell him my feelings for him now, will he be able to accept it?Love is only sweet when two people are happy with each other. If I told him rashly, it might just increase my worries.

"Generally speaking, men take the initiative, right? Well, it's better to leave it to Brother Luo and let him make the choice."
