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

Since Marco and the others left, Zenia has lived peacefully in Cocosia Village for more than half a month.

For the past half month, Zenia and Rayleigh had been getting along like an ordinary couple.

As a husband, Lei Li went out early and came back late to learn the craft of making gold jewelry from the old goldsmith in the village.

Every time Zhenya asked him why he wanted to learn this, Rayleigh would always answer with a smile: "There is a craft that can better fill your and Nami's bellies."

The man would hold her waist and gently let her lean into his arms, while stroking the top of his little daughter's hair with his other hand.

The man with long gray hair faced the sea, his expression peaceful and full of expectations for the future: "If the world really will be liberated one day, such a craft can also become our foundation in the new era. .”

Every time Zheniya wanted to tell the man next to her.

She is Dahai's daughter. No matter how the world changes, their family will never be short of money to spend.

But looking at the man's soft and handsome profile, he swallowed the words once they reached his lips.

It wasn’t because of Rayleigh’s dignity as a man who had to support his family, but because Zenia felt that this was probably Rayleigh’s expectation, right?

In the future he was looking forward to, there would be them and this family, and he would shoulder the responsibility of raising a family like an ordinary man, living happily with his loved ones in the new era he was looking forward to.

that's nice!

Zheniya's heart softened, she relaxed against the man's body, closed her eyes and enjoyed the warm sunshine of the summer afternoon and the cool sea breeze that occasionally blew on her cheeks.

At this time, Nami would throw herself into her father's arms and ask Rayleigh to tell her adventure stories.

There was a slight smile in the deep voice, and the vibration in her chest reached the ears of Yaya, who was leaning against him and half asleep.

Rayleigh started talking about meeting Roger, how difficult it was for the Roger Pirates to start, the powerful enemies they encountered, the wars they encountered, the places they visited, the different people and customs of each island, and even the experiences they experienced at their peak. The battle in the Valley of the Gods is all in Rayleigh's adventure stories...

Zheniya had a slight smile on her lips and fell asleep unconsciously.

When I woke up it was already the next morning.

Like an ordinary wife in the village, Zheniya would get up...and she couldn't cook. She was born with poor cooking skills and would make Leili nervous for a long time every time she entered the kitchen.

So after getting up early, she would go to a restaurant in the village to pack food, and then stroll back home in the morning light.

And Lei Li was waiting at the door of the house early. When she came back, he smiled naturally and asked disapprovingly: "Why don't you sleep a little longer? Just leave these things to me."

Every time she saw a man’s smiling face, Zenia would always have the thought that ‘if this is a life like this, it would be pretty good’.

During the day, Nami and Baby-5 would go to Bellmere's place to play with Nochigo.

Three girls of similar age went up the mountain to dig out bird's nests and went to the sea to catch fish. If the boys in the village dared to bully Nami and Nuoqigao, the three girls would rush up and beat the boys until they cried. Call me mother.

She was obviously a girl, but in the end she became a village bully.

Whenever a parent whose child had been beaten came to his door, Reilly would come forward with a smile on his face.

Compensation is not a big deal. At most, it is just a festival between children, which often ends with just a few complaints.

At midnight when the children were asleep, Reilly would hug her waist with a smile and talk about the wonderful feeling of being a father.

The only thing that wasn't wonderful was... Rayleigh always liked to bully her severely in the dead of night.

On this day, Rayleigh came back early.

Zenia, who was hanging the washed clothes on the clothes pole, turned around when she heard the noise and saw Rayleigh standing not far away.

Zheniya covered her eyes with her arms, looked at the sun in the sky, and asked strangely: "Why did you come back so early today?"

With a smile on his face, Lei Li stepped forward and held her left hand.

Zenia opened her palms obediently.

A gold ring engraved with roses was placed on the ring finger of her left hand.

The slender, white fingers, paired with the shining gold, seemed to be the most perfect work of art carved by God.

Nothing can match this little hand better than this ring.

Zheniya was stunned, and some pictures quickly flashed through her mind.

Before she could grasp these memories, the man in front of her suddenly clasped his palms with hers, held her hand, and lowered his head to kiss the white and delicate back of her hand.

He said: Sorry, this ring is eight years late.

He said: Can you give me another chance? This time, both you and your daughter will be protected by me.

He also said: If you leave again this time, please don’t leave me alone. Eight years of loneliness is the most terrifying nightmare I have ever had.

A simple kiss, but it seems to carry a man's endless love for his whole life.

At that moment, Zheniya's heart beat uncontrollably.

——Different from the shy blushing and heartbeat when we candidly meet each other at night. If I had to describe it, it would probably be a kind of heartbeat! For Rayleigh, for his endless affection.

I can't help myself.

Zheniya rushed forward and pulled the man's shirt down hard, stood on her tiptoes and pressed a kiss on the lips of the slightly astonished man.

She wanted to say: Although I can’t remember anything from the past, I’m sorry.

She wanted to say: You are so good, how could I be willing to leave you?

She wanted to say: I like your ring very much, and I will keep your affection in my heart and treasure it for the rest of my life.

But when she let go of his lips, hugged his neck and leaned against his chest, she just smiled sweetly and said: "Then Mr. Reilly, please give me advice for the rest of my life."

Another half month has passed.

On this day, little Nami and Baby-5 rushed home early. As soon as they saw them, they both pounced on them and begged to participate in the summer festival on the neighboring island.

Little Nami learned this news from the villagers who went to work on the neighboring island.

Moreover, the promotional posters brought back also included promotional photos of circus performances.

"It's a circus!" Little Nami's face turned red and she danced excitedly: "It is said that there are shows where a lion walks through a ring of fire and a lion runs on a ball!"

Reilly squatted in front of his daughter and took the promotional poster from her hand. He was about to say with a smile: Let alone letting the lions perform, as long as the parents are there, it is not difficult to let the Neptunes come ashore to perform...

But when he saw the familiar red-nosed figure in the promotional photo, his words were stuck, and his expression gradually turned into disbelief.

Noticing the change in Rayleigh's expression, Zenia leaned over and lay on Rayleigh's shoulder, and also looked at the poster in his hand.

After looking at it for a long time, I didn't see anything strange: "What's wrong? What happened to this poster?"

Lei Li was silent for a moment, then suddenly raised his eyebrows, pointed at a certain figure on the poster with interest, and asked, "Can Yaya remember who this guy is?"

Zenia followed Rayleigh's finger and looked over.

The person in the photo is wearing a clown hat, with a white cross of skulls painted on his forehead. He is grinning red lips in the direction of the camera, and his smile is exaggerated and has an indescribable sense of arrogance.

Of course, the most eye-catching thing is the iconic red nose.

Zenia frowned slowly.

The figure of a boy with blue hair and a red nose suddenly appeared in his mind.

【sister……】

Her red eyes were slightly absent-minded, and Zheniya almost subconsciously called out a person's name: "...Bucky!"
