[One Piece Fan]Being a bug in the world of One Piece

"Hey, Ah Li, don't be so serious!" the red-haired man said with a smile and waved his hands.

"I'm a pirate. It's normal for me to fight for my life when I encounter an enemy. Besides, this is just a minor injury!"

"What a minor injury! With such a deep scar, it's lucky that your eyes can be saved!"

Shanks's usual cheerful smile failed to melt the ice on Qingli's face. She replied coldly, frowning heavily as she stared at the three scars on Shanks' left eye. How deep were they? The wound can leave such a deep scar!

"Well, I was lucky. I met a very good doctor, and he cured me."

Seeing Qingli worried and angry about his injury, Shanks couldn't help but smile and arched his eyebrows again, and continued: "It's really nothing. Isn't a man more handsome with some scars on his face? This is a man. ’s logo! And look, I even changed the pirate flag. Doesn’t it look more domineering like this?”

As he spoke, Shanks pointed to the skull pirate flag on the mast that had been changed to have three scratches on the left eye.

Shanks' various behaviors made Qingli understand that he had made up his mind not to tell himself who hurt him. After all, it was his own adventure. Although they were good friends, there was no reason to interfere at will.

Fortunately, Qingli also knew what kind of temper Shanks was, so she didn't think he was being offended and didn't ask any more questions. However, her anger was still lingering and she still replied angrily: "Hmph! Not handsome at all! Ugly. died!"

"Haha, boss, you made Ah Li angry!"

Lachilu, who was gnawing on the chicken legs as usual, laughed wildly, and the others also laughed loudly.

"It seems so!"

After saying that, Shanks also laughed.

Seeing this, Qingli couldn't help but glare at everyone, but there was nothing she could do against these lawless guys. She could only wait for them to finish laughing before asking again:

"Did you just come back from Beihai? I see there are a lot more people, are they all new partners found in Beihai?"

"Ah, that's right! Come on, Ah Li, I'll introduce you to you. I've found my vice-captain!"

Shanks said as he pulled Qingli to a capable man with a ponytail. Qingli had just noticed this unfamiliar face because he was the only one who was not laughing.

"This is Beckman. I heard his name as soon as I arrived in the North Sea. I finally managed to get him on board. He is now the deputy captain of our red-haired pirates. Beckman, this is what I told you. Ah Li."

"Ben Beckman."

"Qingli."

Under Shanks' introduction, the two said hello.

Qingli was a little surprised by the cold temperament exuded by this man. After all, almost all the members of the red-haired pirate group were as optimistic and helpless as Captain Shanks. It was rare to find such a calm and calm person.

However, this can complement Shanks, and it's a good thing that Shanks can find such a person who feels extremely reliable!

"Okay! I'm really happy today. I just met Ah Li when I came back. To celebrate our reunion after a long separation, let's have a banquet!"

Shanks shouted loudly, and the others cheered and responded, and then started working enthusiastically.

Qingli and Beckman looked at each other, seeing the helplessness and smiles in each other's eyes, and couldn't help but feel a bit of sympathy for each other.

"Ali, let me tell you, we have been to the white town Frevans in the North Sea this time. It is really a very beautiful place. The whole country is white and flawless. It is like a fairyland. You should really go and see it. ."

"The Dr. Trafalgar who treated me is a citizen of Frevans. His medical skills are really superb and he is a very nice person. Unfortunately, he has no interest in being our ship's doctor and rejected my invitation."

After drinking for three rounds, Qingli sat cross-legged on the deck like everyone else, listening to Shanks talk about their experiences in the North Sea.

Hearing this, Lu followed and laughed: "Boss, what are you thinking? Doesn't Dr. Trafalgar want to be a ship's doctor? He doesn't want to be a pirate! Moreover, he has his own family, how can he follow Let’s go!”

"Oh? Really? So that's it!"

Shanks had a look of realization on his face, which made everyone burst into laughter, and Qingli also laughed.

Soon, Shanks talked about other interesting things during the trip, and Qingli listened with interest.

At the end, Shanks asked as usual: "How about it? Ah Li, do you really not consider becoming our partner and traveling around the world with us?"

"I won't consider it." Qingli said decisively.

"Hahaha, the boss was rejected again!"

"That's right, the boss asks every time, but is rejected every time, and he still refuses to give up!"

"Yes, how many times has this happened? Boss, you are really persistent!"

Qingli's refusal and the crew's heckles did not make Shanks feel embarrassed. He just smiled slightly, but there was a bit of worry in his eyes, and asked softly: "Are you still looking for her? That little girl... "

Qingli squeezed the wine glass in her hand, lowered her eyes slightly and nodded.

"Ah Li, it's been almost six years since we met, right?" Shanks suddenly mentioned their acquaintance.

Qingli was a little confused, but she still nodded and said, "Yes, why are you talking about this suddenly?"

"I still remember that when we met, we were both wandering on the sea alone. At that time, we agreed that we would bring our respective partners with us when we meet again. However, more than five years have passed, and there are already people around me. You have so many friends, but you are still alone..."

Following Shanks' words, the others gradually dispersed, drinking, chatting, and sleeping, leaving the space alone for Qingli and Shanks. Only Beckman was still sitting quietly.

"It's very hard..."

"Ever since I returned to the West Sea five years ago and started to form my own pirate group, you have been following the traces of that little girl. It has been five years now."

"In the past five years, my friends and I have traveled throughout the West Sea, South China Sea, and North Sea, and also visited the Grand Route, but you have been trapped in the West Sea..."

"And you will keep looking for it from now on, right?" Shanks said slowly.

"Yeah, I have to find Robin."

Qingli nodded without hesitation, then smiled slightly and continued: "Although you said that everyone has their own life and adventure, after all, Robin is still a child, and I can't just ignore her life! Like you back then and now, haven’t you always wanted to find someone?”

Shanks was silent for a moment, then laughed again and said, "You're right, Ah Li."

Qingli also smiled: "So, where are you going next?"

"East China Sea." Shanks looked towards the east, his face full of solemnity and a bit of melancholy.

Qingli knew why. The East China Sea was the place where Shanks' captain died, and it was his sad place.

So, not long after he saw off his captain with his own eyes, he left the East China Sea and wandered around until he returned to the West Sea five years ago. But now he is going back again?

"Xuejian." Suddenly, Beckman, who had been silently listening to the conversation between the two, spoke up, and also called Qingli as the outsiders called him.

Qingli was slightly startled and asked hesitantly: "Are you calling me?"

Beckman dusted off the cigarette in his hand and asked in a deep voice, "Have you ever thought about why you haven't found that little girl for so long?"

"What do you mean?"

"Xue Jian, the famous bounty hunter in the West Sea, I have heard of your name in Beihai. It is said that you hate evil and uphold justice very much. You are merciless to pirates and wanted criminals. The evil people fell into your hands. Countless.”

"I'm not a bounty hunter. I just happened to encounter some evil people and captured them and handed them over to the navy." Qingli was still a little confused, but she still explained it to Beckman.

"But outsiders don't know that, right? And that little girl is a wanted criminal, or a wanted criminal with a very high reward." Beckman pointed out the problem lightly.

"You mean, Robin thought I was a bounty hunter chasing her, so she avoided me on purpose? But Robin is not an outsider, she knows me, how could she think so?" Qingli still felt confused. For puzzlement.

"I only found out your real name from Shanks. Do you think that little girl will know that Xuejian is you? Of course, the most important thing is that the people behind her will know that your real purpose is to protect her. Instead of arresting her?" Beckman analyzed calmly.

"The person behind Robin? Where did you start talking about this? Robin is just an ordinary child, how could there be someone behind her?" Qingli became more and more confused as she listened.

After getting along for a short time, Beckman had already basically seen what kind of person Qingli was. He did not despise her because of this. Instead, he sighed in his heart. No wonder Shanks became good friends with Qingli, because to a certain extent , these two people are extremely simple and straightforward people.

Although Qingli looks mature and sensible, completely different from Shanks who is careless and even occasionally idiotic, it has to be said that she is actually more confused than Shanks, or naive, but she is trying hard to hide this. That’s all.

But her behavior of doing whatever she wants without considering any gain or loss still exposed her true nature.

However, Beckman did not dislike such naive and undefended people, so he patiently explained:

"It is impossible for an ordinary child to escape the encirclement and interception of the navy, world government and bounty hunters."

"And, as far as I know, not only you, but also the Navy and World Government personnel who captured the little girl are always one step behind. In addition, there is another point, that is, all the forces and organizations she has been with are... It was destroyed, partly because of your actions, but mostly because of the navy's intervention to calm the situation."

"Her timely escape may be due to her being alert enough, but the destruction of these forces is extraordinary, and after so many things happened, her bounty has never been increased."

"That seems to be the case..." Qingli said hesitantly, "Then what exactly is going on?"

"There are people within the Navy who are secretly protecting her, suppressing these things for her, and at the same time protecting her from being hunted by other forces, and restraining the increase in her bounty." Beckman puffed out a puff of smoke and affirmed. said.

Qingli had no choice but to be convinced by Beckman's thorough analysis. She lowered her eyes and looked at the reflection in the wine glass, thinking about possible candidates.

Inside the Navy…

Could it be that person? !
