[Pirate] My Luna

The raindrops are connected in thin and dense lines, making continuous overlapping circles on the sea surface.

The island not far away is looming in the mist.

Luna was a little unsure whether she should approach the island.

She set off from Fishman Street and emerged from the deep sea only to realize that she had no way to meet Tiger directly and she didn't know his location.

The last newspaper I saw was the news about Tiger's attack on Mary Joa. Taking into account the delay in reaching Fishman Island, the news should have been a few days ago.

Newspapers are such a good thing.

Perhaps we can find information about Tiger from newspapers and speculate on his route and approximate range.

But Shampoo Land is very dangerous. Pirates, human traffickers, dragons and nobles will all gather in Shampoo Land, so she turned to a nearby island, but it started to rain halfway, and her vision and perception became blurred. It took longer than expected. After a while, the outline of the island vaguely appeared in front of my eyes.

Luna approached slowly. When she was still dozens of meters away, there seemed to be a barrel-shaped object floating over the misty sea with the undulating sea water. She curiously stretched out her hand to intercept it.

It was a small wine barrel with some age. The metal ring was already rusty, the oak surface also had corroded black spots, and a small section of the long parchment roll inside was exposed.

Luna reached out and pulled it out, flattening it, "...Bacana...save...a gift?"

The handwriting on it was blurry, and there was almost no identifiable part. Only the name on the signature was clear - Crofts, with a complicated and ornate seal stamped on the name.

She looked closer and saw that the pattern of the seal seemed to become more and more obvious, and the color became more and more vivid, and then suddenly burst out with a burst of red light.

With a feeling of dizziness and nausea, the ocean, fog and distant islands suddenly disappeared.

She fell into the even colder pool water. Through the clear water, she could see the stalactites hanging upside down above dripping with water.

This situation made Luna a little confused for a moment.

"Beckman, look! Mermaid! This is a mermaid!"

A red head with a straw hat suddenly reflected in front of her across the pond, and most of the boy's body was almost touching the surface of the water.

Another black head came closer, and the boy with a black ponytail responded calmly.

It's human.

There are knives and guns on his body, and his muscles are smooth and powerful. Even if he keeps an awkward posture and looks into the water, his figure is still very stable, his expression is effortless, he has strong control over his body, and his physical skills should be good.

Are you good at swordsmanship and shooting respectively?

Luna was wary and just about to move to the other side, she didn't expect that footsteps could be heard from the other side.

Her expression became even more nervous. Why did the humans on the other side feel more dangerous than the two just now?

Not only was he bigger and more oppressive, he was also a person with a special frequency. Luna now knew that people with special frequencies had eaten something called a devil fruit and had unique abilities.

He was wearing a gray double-breasted striped suit, with a white cape rolled up at the cuffs and folded in red. There were half-red and half-blue epaulettes on his shoulders, with a circle of dazzling golden tassels hanging down around the epaulettes.

There is no need to confirm later. The word "Justice" must be printed on the back of this cloak. It is the standard naval admiral's attire in newspapers.

It's just that the clothes seemed a bit ill-fitting. A section of the snow-white cloak fell to the ground and was stained with dust. As the young general bent down by the pool, a corner of the cloak soaked into the pool.

Through the clear water, Luna could see his face clearly. His short, soft and slightly curly black hair, his high brow bones that set off his eye sockets, and his obvious mountain roots formed a strong three-dimensional eyebrows, but a pair of eyebrows that should have His downturned eyes showed gentleness, but they couldn't hide his casual strength and arrogance.

He leaned forward to look at Luna and said with great interest, "Yeah~ It's really a mermaid. Miss mermaid, please be careful not to be captured by the two pirates opposite~"

He spoke slowly and slowly, but his tone was very frivolous. The words he spoke not only felt frivolous, but also had a clear provocation. The fishmen hate humans, and human pirates are the first on the list of hatred and defense. All other humans must go there. Back row.

Luna didn't respond. Now she felt that this marine was more annoying.

The boy with a black ponytail named Beckman took out a cigarette, his posture was too skillful to be that of a teenager. The cigarette couldn't be lit because the environment was too humid, so he had to bite the cigarette to relieve his addiction. "Does the Vice Admiral also play this kind of trick?"

The person on the other side spoke unhurriedly, "I'm just telling the truth~"

The atmosphere became tense for a moment, and Luna hid under the water.

The red-haired boy was still looking at Luna with a smile. After she looked back silently, the boy suddenly took off his simple black cloak, threw down his sword and straw hat, sucked in the air, and plunged into the pool.

Luna was startled, was he going to take action?

The water flow in his hand also escaped due to fright, and the red-haired boy danced under the water to avoid arrows and transparent snakes.

The two people on the shore were surprised, but their faces remained calm.

Luna became more and more confused, what was this human doing?

At first she thought he couldn't attack her at this distance, but after repeating several rounds of chasing games, Luna discovered that this person didn't seem to have any intention of fighting.

He just persevered, hiding, chasing, hiding again, and chasing again.

Slowly, a string of small bubbles came out of his mouth, as humans do when they can't hold their breath.

Luna tentatively used the binding, and it was really tied up.

Is it a trap? Is it pretending?

But, he really sunk!

She was swaying inwardly, but finally used fish-man jujitsu to throw the person ashore.

Beckman, who was about to jump off, caught the captain who liked to mess around with a headache, flattened him and punched him hard on the chest. A jet of water spurted out from the red-haired boy's mouth, and he woke up coughing.

"Thanks, Beckman!" The red-haired boy regained his energy within a few seconds, shook his hair, and ran to the pool to talk to Luna again. He pointed at himself and smiled so brightly that he showed his neat white teeth. "Shanks."

Luna still didn't respond, but he didn't care at all and said to himself, "You also came here suddenly, right? There is no exit on the shore, so we guessed that the exit was underwater, but it was too deep below, and we all I can’t hold my breath.”

"Mermaids are very fast swimmers, right?" Shanks's eyes were clear and he asked, "Beautiful and kind-hearted mermaid lady, can you take us down?"

"In terms of reward," he looked around, "Well, how about this cloak?"

not so good.

Maybe it was because she expressed her meaning clearly with her eyes, Shanks smiled coquettishly.

But staying here is not a good idea.

Luna didn't notice, she relaxed a lot unconsciously.

Two sections of bubble coral were thrown out of the water by her, and Shanks took them neatly, "Oh~! I've seen this on Fish-Man Island! This is a big help, Ms. Mermaid!"

Luna was startled. He had been to Fish-Man Island? She felt a little regretful. Most of the pirates who had been to Fish-Man Island had done bad things, big or small, on Fish-Man Island.

Although he looked different from the human pirates she had seen,...

"Can you shoot?" The silent boy with black ponytail suddenly said.

The king's army also had guns, so Luna had touched them, and she nodded subconsciously.

The young man raised his eyebrows and made a smile. He took off a gun from his waist, lowered his eyes and stroked it twice before placing it on the ground. "It's a good guy."

He raised his chin almost explicitly to the other side, "There are also a few good bullets in there."

The navy on the opposite side sighed, seemingly true, "How strange~ Pirates are more trustworthy than the navy? They are pirates, but I am a kind and well-meaning navy, right?"

"Why don't we go out together?" The red-haired boy sincerely suggested, "If we want to fight, let's go out and fight."

The "kind-hearted" admiral narrowed his eyes and smiled, "I can't believe pirates, why not arrest you here?"

The two sides looked at each other for a moment, and their eyes suddenly shifted to Luna in unison.

"Come with us!" the red-haired boy enthusiastically invited.

"Miss Mermaid, which side should you choose?" the admiral whispered with unclear meaning.

No matter which side she chooses, they will start fighting immediately, right?

The two sides that were hostile to each other had to coexist peacefully because they had no way to get out. Now that a way has emerged, naturally they no longer need to get along.

But whichever side is left alone will not be a good outcome for her, and she cannot trust humans.

So Luna stuck her head out from the water and said, "...let's go together."

In view of the passive weakness of Devil Fruit users under water, Luna was afraid that the marine would be unwilling, so she emphasized to him, "I am very powerful underwater, and I will protect you."

Beckman chuckled, and Shanks unexpectedly said "Hey" and protested: "Let's go out together. We won't do anything before we go out!"

He ignored the two pirates and slowly looked at the mermaid in front of him again, then squatted down by the pool and stretched out his hand forward.

The blue-haired and blue-eyed mermaid glanced at him doubtfully, but still swam forward, held his finger with her white and delicate palm, and shook it hesitantly.

"Then I'll leave it to you~ Ms. Mermaid?"

"...Hmm." She thought for a moment and added, "Luna."

He also spoke slowly, "Vice Admiral of the Navy Headquarters, Porusalino."
