Pirate: I'm not the King of the Sea, so don't mess with me.

When I woke up a little, I heard the gentle sound of turning books in my ears.

*

[March 3: I can’t seem to remember things. Whether it’s things that happened or people I met, I always forget. Well, write it down! So as not to forget Jenny and the others again. 】

[March 3: I had the same dream again today. Jenny explained to me the whole process of bringing it back to me again. Then I decided to draw the people in the dream and write down their names...]

His slender fingers twisted the paper folded in half and stored in the small book.

It's a portrait of a little girl.

Although it is a bit abstract, the person who drew this clearly put some thought into it and clearly displayed the characteristics of the characters.

The owner of the slender fingers looked at the portrait for a long time, then slowly folded it in half and put it back to its original place.

The small book turned back patiently and carefully again...

[Yo Xi~ Today I went to sea to find the girl who was very important to me in my dream... I must find her...]

[...It’s really boring to sail alone. Fortunately, the weather is good today. I was lucky enough to encounter a group of sharks and chatted with them for a long time. 】

[I can’t remember how many days it was, but I finally saw the island! OK~]

[Well, today we defeated a group of pirates worth a total of 255 million beli. Oh oh oh, there was also a big pirate worth 230 million, but he was so weak that he was knocked unconscious with one punch. . 】

[I boarded that naughty Flamingo because I reached an agreement with Corazon. They said they would pack their bags and go to the Navy Headquarters to exchange for my bounty. Emmmmm~ They were so cool. 】

[Doflamingo owes me five hundred million! ! ! (PS: This is very important)]

[Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

……

[I met a new friend, his name is Kuzan. We agreed to find my daughter together and find that bastard Doflamingo who owed me five hundred million. 】

Turn to a new page.

The slender fingers suddenly paused.

The man who lowered his head and looked at the small book seriously pursed his thick lips tightly.

When he read the sentence [Kuzan is really nice~ He gives people a particularly warm feeling, I like him so much~], the man's slightly stern eyebrows softened.

He sighed helplessly.

As I continued to turn it over, I heard the slight sound of fabric rubbing against my ears.

*

Yaya was awakened by the trivial sounds, rubbed her eyes and sat up from the bed.

The soft and fluffy long hair is slightly messy, and the pale face shows the confusion of waking up.

The light that enters my eyes is very bright, and the tip of my nose is filled with the fresh scent of soap...

When awake in a strange environment, Yaya will always remain vigilant.

His vision quickly became clear, and he didn't notice any danger, but he quickly scanned the surrounding area.

After looking at a familiar face for a few seconds, Yaya's eyes suddenly lit up and she grinned in surprise: "Kuzan~"

That look of being surprised and trusting him wholeheartedly made Kuzan's heart soften.

The man put down the small notebook in his hand and moved to sit next to her.

While putting a shawl on the woman on the bed with his own hands, he asked in a low voice: "Good morning Yaya, did you sleep well? Do you feel uncomfortable?"

Yaya grabbed the shawl hanging down on her shoulders with her little hands and responded with a smile: "No~ I feel very comfortable sleeping."

Suddenly I thought that this place was very strange, so I asked again: "Hey, where are we now, Kuzan?"

“A high-end hotel on a hot spring resort island.”

Yaya blinked.

Kuzan further explained: "Well, that's it. To find someone, of course you need a specialized intelligence agency."

He scratched the back of his head: "Ah~ um~ I have sent the portrait of my daughter back to the headquarters, and they will help search for it together. However, even the headquarters can't figure out the information about Doflamingo... "

Suddenly he remembered that when he passed by the naval base, he sent the portrait of his 'daughter' back to the headquarters in the form of a fax, and the headquarters immediately called and roared...

Thinking of the future where he was destined to be beaten, Kuzan's expression became visibly bitter.

But when he lowered his eyes and met Yaya's shining eyes, Kuzan suddenly felt that being beaten was no big deal.

After recovering from the terrifying roars of his seniors, Kuzan relaxed his expression and stretched out his big hand to rub Yaya's little head.

As Zheniya cried out, she rubbed her already messy long curly hair even more messily.

The man smiled and lowered his eyes, and said in a calm and warm voice: "The hot spring resort island is a tourist attraction in the paradise, and the hot springs on the island also have a healing effect..."

In fact, soaking in hot springs is not his purpose...

Thinking of Yaya's memory problem, Kuzan lowered his eyes to hide the emotions in his eyes: "But before that, we have to go to the hospital on the island."

The hot spring resort island can be said to be a government industry.

Open services exclusively for high-class people in the world.

Kuzan has the status of a first-level quasi-general, so he can naturally enter here easily.

He must not go back to the headquarters, and he is very concerned about Yaya's old injuries.

Therefore, you need to find a hospital with complete medical facilities and conduct a detailed examination before you can rest assured.

After coming out of the naval base, get rid of the naval warships that your superiors ordered to accompany you.

Occasionally, I thought that there is a hospital with advanced equipment on the resort island near the base. In addition, I can spend time with Yaya...

At that time, Kuzan glanced at the weak and sleeping person in his arms, and without any hesitation, he came directly to the hot spring resort island.

"Go to the hospital?" Yaya looked confused, pointed at herself, and asked hesitantly: "Am I sick again?"

Her expression was a little uneasy, and she carefully observed Kuzan's expression.

She knew that Kuzan cared about her. The last time she was sick, his expression had turned terrible, as if he was about to cry.

Yaya didn't like to see Kuzan's expression.

So first observe Kuzan’s expression.

The crimson pupils were wet, full of unconcealable concern.

Kuzan was stunned for a moment, then covered her eyes with his big hands.

When Yaya can't see it, Kuzan will reveal his emotion called 'love'.

But once he lets go, he will become his lazy and careless self again.

He lightly hit Yaya on the forehead, causing a series of exclamations: "Why did you hit someone?"

The guy being questioned had already stood up and walked out without looking back and said, "Ah la la~ It's time for the beautiful lady to get up~ I'll bring breakfast up."

Before the door was closed, Yaya heard Kuzan's low, emotionless voice with a lazy tone: "Remember to review your homework, emm~ and remember to wash up. I've put the clothes I'm going to wear today in the bathroom. , remember to put it on."

Then he left the words "Wait until I come back" and closed the door, and the steady footsteps gradually faded away.

After washing, she put on the elegant gauze skirt with white bottom and red flowers that Kuzan bought her, and wore exquisite white sandals.

I 'reviewed' the contents written down in the notebook in the room to deepen my memory.

Next, I had breakfast with Kuzan, and the two of them went to the hospital on the island.

The test results were discussed outside by Kuzan and the doctor.

Through the transparent glass, Yaya couldn't hear what the two said, but she could clearly see Kuzan's expression turned bad.

She couldn't help but reach out and touch the scar on her forehead. Kuzan, who was in a trance, had returned.

Looking at his expression, the ugly expression has disappeared. The man is standing by the bed with one hand in his pocket, smiling lazily.

While reaching out to her who was unsure of her situation, he asked her opinion: "Where do you want to go next?"

Yaya put her hand on Kuzan's palm, and while using his strength to get up and out of bed, she asked, "Is there anything fun?"

Kuzan tilted his head and thought for a moment: "Well~ an amusement park? Hot spring? Beach? Food court?... There seems to be a shopping street..."

Scratching the back of his head in distress, Kuzan sighed: "Anyway, there are many places to play. Is there anything you like or particularly want to play?"

Yaya nodded her lower lip and thought about it seriously, then boldly suggested: "Then... play it all again."

Kuzan sighed, with a troubled expression on his face and said weakly: "Hey, let's play it all again!"

After pretending for less than a second, he stretched out his hand in the direction of Yaya and made a very gentlemanly invitation: "Then, my beautiful Miss Yaya, are you willing to spend the next few days with me?"

Yaya looked at the big hand stretched out, smiled, and put her little hand on it: "What an honor!"

*

The waters near Gaya Island.

The blue sea surface illuminated by strong sunlight suddenly surged with waves.

Immediately afterwards, two huge Neptune-like heads bulged out of the sea.

The big head with white and green stripes looked around, and then frowned: "The familiar power has disappeared."

He turned his head and looked at the big red-and-white-striped head: "Youjia, can you capture the aura around here?"

"Let me try."

The super sea king type turned into a dog with a bang.

The big dog jumped in the air onto the big white-green striped head, squatting next to a tall black figure while sniffing the air with its nose.

The figure lowered his head, his white hair shimmering in the sunlight.

He didn't disturb Yu Jia, just waited quietly.

The smell was peeled off and analyzed layer by layer, but in the end, the big dog still shook his head in frustration: "No, we are a step too late. The wind has taken away the smell here, and it can no longer be captured."

Ta Ya lowered his head in despair, his frustration visible to the naked eye.

The only human being, Rayleigh, who had been waiting quietly aside, suddenly said: "Don't feel depressed."

The man looked up and looked at the endless sea with a smile on his lips: "As long as we are sure that she is still alive and will come back to us, that is enough."

After experiencing a painful 'loss', a man who was accustomed to domineeringly possessing 'treasures' was forced to lower his psychological needs and become cautious, 'except life and death, nothing else matters'.

The accumulation of years and the long wait have made the man who has experienced the baptism of wind and frost become more calm and restrained.

The high-profile search for someone was an impulsive decision made by him because he could not hide his excitement, joy, urgency, etc., but he did not regret it.

After all, only in this way will the group of people whose hearts are affected by Yaya join the search camp.

It didn't matter who found it first, as long as she was safe, that was enough for Rayleigh.

"It's so strange, why is the feeling only for a moment?"

While Rayleigh was looking at the sea in trance, Ta Ya's voice suddenly came.

Riley lowered his head, surprise flashing across his face: "What do you mean?"

Yu Jia on the side explained: "In the past, no matter where Zheniya was, we would determine her location based on the power fluctuations on her body."

Taya at his feet nodded slightly: "But now, the power fluctuation has disappeared."

The power fluctuation disappears?

What happened?

Rayleigh didn't know much about the so-called 'power fluctuations' of the Neptune class. Without enough information, he couldn't analyze the causes and consequences.

At this time, Youjia suddenly suggested: "Why don't you ask Sambot?"

Taya agreed: "His ability is prophecy, go and ask!"

Rayleigh frowned, but now that the clue was gone, he could only agree, but before that: "Sorry, please wait a moment."

Two meals at the same time.

Reilly smiled and said: "It seems that something unexpected happened to what I thought was a simple matter. I need to contact Mond."

Although Youjia is naive, she is always smart intermittently: "Do you want to use the fruit's ability to find it?"

Mond, the one who awakened the power of the doll fruit.

Since Yaya 'left', he has become a toy dealer at Rayleigh's suggestion.

Now Mond has left Genie Island and has his own island.

That island is known as the ‘Toy City’, and businessmen from almost all over the world go there to purchase goods.

Reilly chuckled lightly, and while taking out the phone bug that was packed in a waterproof bag from his pocket, he explained: "We have been laying an intelligence network for the past eight years, and now is the time to use it."
