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

"Hello everybody...I'm here~"

Hearing the familiar gentle female voice, the group of baboons in the forest were frightened and fled in panic.

If only baboons knew what memes were.

I’m probably shouting with my face in my hands now!

Help!

Help! ! !

The witch is here again! ! ! ! !

Zenia stood on the shore and opened her arms in a hug.

While feeling the sea breeze behind her, she listened to the footsteps getting farther and farther in the forest. After waiting for a long time, she didn't see the little cuties throwing themselves into her arms, and her expression gradually became lost.

She put down her arms, puffed out her cheeks, slumped her shoulders and slumped her head and muttered: "What? I am obviously so looking forward to meeting you~"

Not to mention the resentful little expression.

Behind her, Mihawk, who had tied the coffin and boat, just took steps to walk in the direction of Zenia when he heard her slightly disappointed complaint.

Mihawk:…

He raised his head and felt the situation in the deep forest with an expressionless expression.

The baboons retreated about three kilometers away and hid behind big trees one by one.

Some looked up or scratched their heads and heads, and some timid ones even hid behind the tree trunks and shivered, not daring to come out.

'Look' looks very pitiful.

This shows how much of a psychological shadow Zheniya left on this group of baboons who thrived in the face of violence a year ago.

He shook his head helplessly, a smile flashed in his double-ringed golden eyes.

He stepped forward with his long legs and walked slowly to the woman's side. He raised his hand and patted her little head lightly, where she had no idea what to think about all day long.

The deep magnetic voice was slightly smiling, and it sounded like persuasion, but the words were full of bad ideas: "You can catch them again."

Zenia glanced up and saw the big hand on top of her head.

The aggrieved beautiful red eyes rolled and looked into the man's smiling eyes.

Zheniya slowly narrowed her eyes and suddenly grabbed Mihawk's hand. She snorted arrogantly: "I don't want it! They were the ones who disliked (bushi) me first. I decided not to pay attention to them in the future! Hum! ~"

Then he raised his head and turned towards the castle.

That delicate little look that quietly throws a tantrum, although it looks childish, is indescribably cute.

Mihawk chuckled in a good mood, raised his feet and followed him.

Although Zheniya said she would never pay attention to those baboons again, in fact only she knew that she was just tired and had no energy to catch those 'ungrateful' guys.

She desperately needs a rest!

Even when she was on the coffin boat, Mihawk took great care of her.

But the deficit in body and soul cannot be healed in a short time, and Zheniya's childish behavior is just to ease the atmosphere with her friends.

After all, Mihawk was a little too worried. Not only did he often ask her about her health on the way here, but he also didn't allow her to sleep alone wrapped in a small quilt on the side of the boat at night. He would hold her to sleep no matter what.

To put it mildly, it feels warmer when you are held in his arms.

However, Zheniya felt that this was too close and would make her uncomfortable, so she would reject him every time.

But every time she opened her eyes, she would find that she was in Mihawk's arms.

Upon questioning, it turned out that he had unconsciously looked for a source of warmth in his sleep and rolled into the other person's arms.

This is awkward.

So when she was near Kraygana Island, Zenia deliberately pretended to be energetic and told Mihawk that she was almost fine.

The purpose was to prevent Mihawk from worrying about her physical condition.

After all, regular physical contact between men and women can easily produce different emotions in both parties.

And this kind of emotion, no matter how it evolves, will always be tinged with ambiguity.

Although Zenia didn't think Mihawk had any feelings for her beyond friendship, after all, that guy was a famous martial arts fanatic, but it was still better to be on guard against this kind of thing.

Since we are friends, we must draw clear boundaries to avoid misunderstandings!

It’s probably a lesson learned from those people’s mistakes! Zenia, who doesn’t want to be the King of the Sea, now pays attention to social distance between people.

As soon as she arrived at the castle, Zenia walked into the guest room with ease.

Yawning, he looked back and saw that Mihawk was still following behind him silently.

Zheniya paused, then raised a smile and reassured: "Don't worry~ It's really okay!"

Then he remembered something, tilted his little head, and asked clearly in a state of mental distress: "Well, should we go out to eat tonight or should we eat here?"

Mihawk looked at her sleepy and confused look with tears in her eyes.

The slender fingers beside her moved, but in the end they still didn't reach out to wipe away the tears from her eyes.

He said with an expressionless but focused expression: "What do you want to eat? I can make it for you."

Zheniya habitually pointed her finger on her chin, raised her eyes, and thought: "Pizza..."

Mihawk frowned and refused: "No!"

Zenia:......

"Big flesh and blood!"

"no!"

"...Is curry okay?"

"no!"

After being rejected several times, Zheniya got angry: "This won't work, and that won't work either, so why are you asking me?"

Mihawk didn't think there was anything wrong with his refusal. His eyes were calm: "Marco told me before leaving that you can only eat food that is easy to digest!"

Zenia:......

It's you, Marco!

She gritted her teeth and greeted in her heart: I have left, but your influence is still there? As expected of a doctor! ! ! How abominable~~~

The days of being dominated by a doctor are terrifying.

Because he always makes you eat something you don't like.

such as……

"Lean meat porridge is fine, I can pickle some delicious side dishes!"

I knew it would be like this! ! !

Zheniya, who had been eating porridge for several days, until the porridge tasted like a bird, she slammed the door angrily and lost her temper: "You decide for yourself! Don't do this kind of thing in the future." Come and ask me!”

Through the door panel, Mihawk could feel Zenia's anger at not being able to eat delicious food.

After standing silently outside the door for a long time, Mihawk sighed silently.

Do you really think that by pretending to be healthy, he won't be able to detect her weakness?

A flash of dark color flashed in the double-ringed golden pupils.

Is it a deliberate avoidance?

Or are you aware of those feelings but still pretending not to know and draw a clear line?

Even when you are weak, you are avoiding my concern for you?

He raised his head and glanced at the door again. Mihawk walked away silently with a black knife on his back.

*

Facts have proved that Zheniya still overestimated her physical fitness.

It's really 'pretending' to be cool for a while, but it's a crematorium afterwards.

Two hours after Mihawk left and she fell asleep, she actually developed a high fever.
