[One Piece] Mindless and unhappy

"Goodbye."

Haihara Ai said hello to Ace, and he and Sabo were going to head towards Baldigo, tracking Blackbeard's traces along the way. Haihara Ai would arrive a little later and would arrive from Kamabaka. The kingdom set off and headed in the direction of Whitebeard.

Eva was still in the kingdom, watching Hui Yuan Ai packing her things and sitting in a daze, and asked, "What's wrong?"

Hui Yuan Ai smiled and said it was okay.

They have been together for almost a long time since they started special training, and they can be regarded as very familiar partners.

When she was in the organization, she often immersed herself in the laboratory alone. Later, when she became smaller, although she often acted with Kudo Shinichi, she lacked a little bit compared to her partner. This was the first time for such a long time. I have a fixed partner, so I felt a little uncomfortable when I suddenly had to act alone this time.

When Haiyuan Ai went to sea, a lady named Moulton traveled with her.

Morton was originally a group of pirates wandering the sea, but after wandering to the Kamabaka Kingdom, he suddenly awakened to some amazing habits. He asked Eva to change from him to "she", and then stayed in On this island, he became an ordinary cook.

However, her experience of wandering in the new world was enough to prove that she was not weak in strength, and she was relatively experienced in sailing ships. It was up to her to accompany Haibara Ai all the way back to the Whitebeard Pirates.

When Haibara Ai was still in the Kamabaka Kingdom for repairs, she packed up her simple luggage and threw it next to the laboratory door. She then dived in and made another antidote for aptx4869. Compared with her Naturally, she was more confident when taking it by herself, but there was still a certain risk. She pinched the bottle containing the pills in her hand and stuffed it into the innermost layer of her backpack.

"Come on, Moulton."

The way back to the Whitebeard Pirates was much faster than the way they came out. They sailed straight in the direction of the record pointer. If they encountered an island, they would stop to replenish some supplies, or even go there. When she recorded the new pointer and rushed back to the Moby-Dick, it had only been half a month.

Hui Yuan Ai couldn't help but smile. Half a month was not a short time in the previous world, but now it feels very fast for her to travel.

The sea is vast and boundless. At that time, Haibara Ai and Ace set off from the Moby Dick and went to Shampoo Islands, then to Fish-Man Island, and then sailed from Fish-Man Island to Sad Island. In addition, most of the time They traveled slowly, and even stayed a few more days if they encountered an island they were interested in. When they arrived at Sad Island, more than half a year had passed since they left the Moby-Dick, but they always felt that their life was quite fulfilling.

“It’s hard to feel the passage of time at sea.”

"Yes." Moulton answered, "I often still feel that I am still in my thirties, but in the blink of an eye I am almost fifty."

"Almost fifty years old?" Haiyuan Ai looked at Moulton. Although the other person's facial features were relatively neutral, his firm skin and usual speaking style also made him look quite young, "You can't tell at all."

"Because the sea is both calm and mysterious. A peaceful life can soothe the mood, and the mystery keeps attracting people to wander." Moulton thought of his stumbled first half of life, which seemed magnificent compared to the following years, and the kind of life that followed. The recipes I always think about in a peaceful and stable life, "As long as you always have enthusiasm and curiosity about life, maybe your heart will never grow old."

"But when I think about it, I'm almost 24 years old this year. I really can't feel the passage of time when I think about it this way." Haihara Ai has obviously lived on this sea for almost six years, but when he recalls it, he always feels that it hasn't been that long at all, or rather It is the definition of time that has gradually changed.

In the past, whether I was rushing to do research or starting to go to school day after day after getting smaller, I always felt like I was being pushed away by time. I don’t know if it’s because the vastness of the sea has given everyone a broader mind. Time at sea has returned to the essence of timekeeping. Compared with the previous ideas of “what age should I do”, everyone is more free.

"Maybe it's because thoughts run too fast and time can't catch up, so I won't age at all."

Haiyuan Ai suddenly said something without thinking. Morton heard that this sentence was a continuation of the previous topic, but because it was too literary, it was a bit unclear.

"That's a good thing," Moulton said.

"Yes." Haiyuan Ai responded to her, and then breathed a sigh of relief when she climbed up the rope ladder of Moby Dick.

I hope that time will be kind and the aging of my father's body will slow down, and then slow down.

After sending Haibara Ai to the Moby-Dick, Moulton declined Margao's proposal to sit on the ship: "Although the Yonko's ship is indeed very attractive, I have been on the island almost all the time in the past ten years. I haven’t been out much, so I wanted to take a look around first. And Xiao Ai will have some business after she comes back, right? If I wander around the area later, I hope you can agree to let me go to the captain to see you. "

"That's natural. Thank you very much for taking care of Xiao Ai all the way." Margao also knew that Xiao Ai probably didn't want to receive him when he came back, so he smiled apologetically at him, watched the boat coming as he came, turned around, and waited for him to go away. Then he put away the rope ladder and went to the infirmary.

"I see you have recovered. Has the antidote been researched?" He did not go in, but leaned against the door and watched as Haihara Ai took out some bottles and notebooks from his bag.

"It's been researched," Haiyuan Ai pressed her index finger and thumb against the small glass bottle, which contained a red and white capsule. "But I'm still worried about the risks."

"There is nothing without risks." Malgao raised his eyebrows, "Pirates themselves are risks."

"But I'm still worried when it comes to dad." Haihara Ai gently threw up the medicine bottle and held it, "Give me two days and I'll redo the calculations."

"Here you go." Margao walked in and put his hand on her shoulder, leading her out of the laboratory. "It's hard to recover. Why don't you go say hello to everyone again like this?"

"...Wait a minute! How do I explain it?" Haihara Ai suddenly remembered the "Haihara Ai's sister" thing that Margao said at that time.

Mal shrugged, letting her figure it out on her own, and then pushed her mercilessly from the laboratory to the deck.

"...I'm very sorry for lying to everyone. My name is Huihara Ai. I'm twenty-three years old this year."

When everyone saw her and called "Xiao Ai's sister" to greet her, she took a deep breath and said loudly.

I originally thought that everyone would be a little angry or sad, but I didn't expect that everyone didn't care.

"So can Xiao Ai become bigger or smaller?"

"Oh! Since you are not a child, can Xiao Ai marry me?"

"Get out! How could Xiao Ai fall in love with you?"

"You just want Xiao Ai to be good at medicine, right?!"

"Then aren't you Tu Xiaoai who is a great beauty?!"

……

Margao watched as the crew members' love for the little ship's doctor who protected their lives turned into a group proposal scene because it was the beautiful ship's doctor who initiated the proposal, giving each of the two people in the lead a thrill.

"Okay brats, Xiao Ai is scared by you."

Haihara Ai really didn't expect everyone to be so receptive to this, but looking at this chaotic scene was a bit funny, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly.

"After that, I hope you can give me more advice."

Mom, who had just been given a huge blow by Margao, immediately responded: "Please give me some advice, Xiao Ai, please consider my pursuit!"

On the other end, Difu was not to be outdone, and shouted to Mom: "Look at you like this, Xiao Ai usually spends time with Ace! How could he like you?! He's just as likely to like Ace!"

"Then do you like Ace?" Margao bumped her shoulder and leaned close to her and asked her.

"Boring." Hui Yuan Ai rolled his eyes, turned around and left.

Margao looked at her red earlobes and stopped teasing her. He laughed twice while standing on the deck. He saw Haiyuan Ai speeding up his pace again and shut himself back into the laboratory in a few steps.

After Haiyuan Ai closed the door to the laboratory, he turned his back and leaned against the door, sitting on the ground. He was obviously going out to meet his former companions, and he was just apologizing, but why did the topic turn to Ace...

She stood up, took the small bottle containing the antidote to the experimental table, and was about to start re-calculating the formula, but sighed in the middle of the move.

"...Margao shouldn't be able to do anything, right?"

Just like what Nico Robin said when she was chatting with him on Luffy's ship, "But how can anyone leave the light?" Yes, how could anyone leave the light?

But how can a flower growing in darkness dare to touch the light?

She once mentioned her "like" to Edogawa Conan in a joking tone, but she knew clearly that it was just a joke. How could someone who didn't even dare to look forward to the future have the right to say that she likes him.

So does she qualify now?

Forget it, don’t think about this anymore.

She suppressed the complicated thoughts in her heart, put on gloves, opened the experimental equipment and started to analyze again.

Margao left the crew members who were still noisy on the deck and went to the bow of the ship to find Whitebeard.

"What's wrong?" Whitebeard looked at him, "Xiao Ai went straight to the laboratory after coming back?"

Mal Gao laughed: "Yes, my father's statistics are very good recently, and I want to perfect the antidote so that it can be used quickly."

Thinking of the scene at that time, his smile became heavier: "I said two days would be enough."

"Gu la la la! She must be the only one who is worried."

"After all, it's about you, dad. I would probably be anxious too." Margao put his hands behind his head, "But I can't make those potions, how can she have such a brain?"

"Gula la la, you are very good at what you do." Of course my daughter was happy to be praised for having a white beard.

However, Margao didn't come here to talk about this. He told Whitebeard what he had just discovered: "I just pointed a finger at that time, and I might have matched them."

Whitebeard looked at him: "Oh? Xiao Ai likes Ace?"

Mal shrugged: "I didn't say it, but it doesn't look like it's boring."

"I will have children and grandchildren." Whitebeard yawned and looked at the sea.

"Yes, if we are really together, then we can have a party on the boat again."
