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

The reason why Shanks proposed to accompany Yaya to find someone.

Let me start on the way back after going to the hospital.

That day, Shanks, Beckman, Hongo, and Uta, who insisted on following, heard Yaya's request to find Kuzan.

At that time, Beckman's eyebrows jumped and he couldn't help but look at Shanks.

Shanks was silent for a moment, then suddenly grinned and said, "Yaya, do you still remember Kuzan? Do you have anything to do with him?"

The smiling man bent slightly and pointed at himself, cheerfully mixed with expectation: "Can you tell me?"

Yaya hesitated for a moment, thinking that it was an agreement with Kuzan, and shook her head: "That is a very important agreement, and I want to complete it with him."

Because Kuzan seriously said that he would accompany her to do the things she wanted to do, and before Kuzan said he would not accompany her, Yaya wanted to continue to fulfill the agreement.

And there is another very important reason.

She always felt that Kuzan would be very disappointed if she didn't do the things that had been agreed upon with Kuzan, right?

She didn't want to see that gentle man showing a disappointed expression.

Shanks' hearty smile gradually faded, and his expectation turned into disappointment.

But for him, the loss was only temporary, and he soon became excited again.

The red-haired man showed his hearty smile again, and his whole body was full of spontaneity and sunshine that did not match his age. He looked like a child who had not grown up.

"That's it~" He straightened up.

Suddenly he rubbed his chin with his fingers, with a troubled expression. He glanced in the direction of Yaya and said distressedly: "But it's not easy to find the associate admiral."

Yaya looked at Shanks confused.

Just about to explain 'I can find him myself'.

Then Shanks made an eager suggestion: "How about this, we take you to find him, but how about you stay on my ship until we find him?"

For this reason, Beckman unexpectedly looked at him several times.

Hongo was directly stunned.

The boss who has always been off-line suddenly becomes scheming?

How to describe it?

The feeling was tantamount to the surprise and shock of 'They clearly didn't do anything, but the Navy insisted on giving them a demon-slaying order.'

But Yaya didn't answer Shanks immediately.

She was thinking hard.

Struggled with: She was not familiar with them, but Shanks' enthusiasm and frankness were so unexpected that people couldn't refuse, and there was even an inexplicable feeling of...expectation rising in her heart?

Thoughts on: She has a bad memory, but that only applies to people. She can distinguish the positions of the navy and pirates very clearly.

Going on a pirate ship to find the navy?

Yaya looked at the man with a sunny smile suspiciously.

He frowned in confusion.

Is this... a real man?

Are you sure you won't fight to the death as soon as they meet? ? ?

So that day, even if Shanks used Uta as an excuse to keep her, Yaya didn't give a clear answer.

Then Yaya, who got up early the next day, was forced to come out to meet the people on the boat by Shanks who had already blocked the door. He even suggested that she write down the names and characteristics of the people in a small book so as not to forget them when they meet again. .

Yaya thought it made sense, so she spent the next two days being led by Shanks to get to know the people on the ship.

The tedious job of identifying people takes two days to complete.

No one even reminded Yaya about where to disembark.

Immediately afterwards, Yaya found out that Shanks had peeked at her notebook.

Uta suddenly rushed into her room early in the morning, hugged her waist and refused to let go. He acted coquettishly and cutely all morning, and tried his best to beg her to stay with her for a few more days.

Because she really really really likes Yaya’s mother very much.

Little Uta's pitiful look with drooped braids and tears made Yaya unable to refuse, so before putting her to sleep, Yaya finally couldn't help but soft-heartedly said, "Before she got the exact whereabouts of Kuzan, , will stay on board's promise.

For this reason, Uta, who succeeded in the battle, fell asleep in the warm embrace with peace of mind.

Yaya, who gently stroked the top of Uta's hair and was filled with soft emotions, naturally did not notice the hesitant expressions of the pigeon and sea king squatting on her shoulders.

The above is Yaya's experience on the Red these days.

Yaya, who was too lazy to watch Shanks being stupid, went back to her room to rest.

I didn’t expect that this break would only last one day.

When she opened her eyes in a daze and got up again, it was already the early morning of the next day.

It was about four o'clock in the morning.

The Red Foss was moored quietly on the sea.

Above the sea illuminated by the cold moonlight is the quiet darkness before dawn.

The woman wearing a simple white nightdress walked out of the cabin, looked at the quiet moonlit night with only the sound of waves echoing, and finally stopped at the railing on the side of the ship.

Jesus Bu, who was on the main mast lookout, heard the movement and stood up alertly to look down.

After squinting to see who the person was, he relaxed his body and leaned back to continue taking a nap.

The cool evening breeze blows on my face, bringing the saltiness of the sea water and the coolness of the moonlight.

Looking at the sea surface shining with silver light under the moonlight, Yaya was slightly in a trance.

Suddenly, clear and steady footsteps came.

Yaya turned around, and a black cloak suddenly appeared under her hood.

Yaya, who had already noticed the familiar scent, did not panic. She just let out a meaningless "um" due to the sudden 'attack', and then subconsciously reached out to pull off the cloak that smelled of residual warmth and light smoke.

"You'd better put it on. For your physical condition, you can easily catch a cold if you wear too little."

A low, calm voice, with hints of warning and a hint of concern, came from not far away.

Yaya's hand stopped trying to pull off the cloak, but she finally put it on her body.

She lowered her head and suddenly raised her head to ask the people around her: "Isn't this Shanks's?"

The man holding the cigarette glanced over and explained nonchalantly: "I picked it up when I passed by the captain's cabin."

Yaya nodded suddenly, thanked her and didn't ask any more questions.

Soon, he suddenly remembered something and looked at the person next to him in surprise: "Did you get up so early?"

Hearing this, Beckman paused slightly, then held the cigarette between his two fingers and chuckled: "Come out and take a look when you hear the noise."

Oh oh oh, it turns out that I was afraid of an enemy attack.

Also.

The sea is very dangerous.

If you are not alert enough, you will be buried here sooner or later.

Seeing that she had no suspicion at all, Beckman calmly looked back at a dark place.

A bright red flashed past where the cold moonlight could not reach.

Beckman looked away: "What about you? Can't sleep?"

Mentioning this, Yaya was a little embarrassed: "I did sleep too much. When we came together, we found that it was still dark."

The sea breeze blew up a strand of silver-blue long hair. She reached out and tucked the strand of hair behind her ears: "Hmm~ If you are worried that someone will sneak attack or be swallowed by the sudden appearance of the sea king, if……"

Yaya turned her head and raised her little face, smiled and said to the tall man beside her: "Don't worry, I will protect this place."

Under the bright white moonlight, the woman's beautiful smile seemed to be glowing, and the soft voice with a slight nasal sound after waking up was like a soft feather. It not only made people feel itchy in their ears, but also felt as if their heart was being caressed, a thin and dense itching. .

But the most unforgettable thing is the pair of smart and clear red eyes.

There, the light of the soul that belongs exclusively to ‘Zheniya’ shines.

Beckman stared blankly at these eyes for a long time, and suddenly couldn't help but chuckle: "It doesn't matter, I'm used to it. Besides~"

He deliberately lengthened his tone.

Under the eyes of the little woman beside him, who was blinking and looking slightly ignorant and innocent, he told the real reason why he stayed up late at night.

"I happened to get information about Donquixote Doflamingo recently, so I sorted it out overnight."

The familiar name instantly reminded Yaya of the 500 million.

After all, it was marked in a close-up in a small notebook, so it is difficult not to remember it.

She slowly widened her eyes.

Then I heard the man next to me continue slowly and lowly: "We have also come up with a good solution regarding your memory."

The man withdrew his gaze from her, his dark eyes staring at a flash of golden color that suddenly appeared on the distant horizon.

The cigarette he hadn't smoked since talking to Yaya was burning quietly, and the smoke drifting like a thread across the side of the man's face.

"The surgical fruit recently appeared in the North Sea, but suddenly disappeared during the battle between pirates."

He looked at her and said calmly: "If I let Hongo eat the fruit of the operation, I can immediately perform the surgery to 'remove the shrapnel' for you."

Yaya:......

Yaya:! ! !
