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

The melon was so big that everyone who ate it was choked.

After a long time, Usopp exclaimed and looked at Nami: "Hey, hey~ If Nami is your daughter..."

Zenia raised her eyebrows when he pointed at her.

Usopp shouted in shock: "That means she is also the daughter of Hades Rayleigh!!!"

Oh my God!

My partner turned out to be the daughter of such a legendary figure! ! !

Robin drank tea calmly.

Zoro raised his eyes and glanced at Rayleigh, and commented calmly: "That's really incredible."

The cigarette in Sanji's hand was almost burning his hand, and he soon cried: "Do I still have a chance in this case? Miss Nami~"

Brooke, who was an old man, was stuffing beans into his mouth while still thinking about who Roger was.

Franky: "Wow~ It turns out that Nami, you actually have such a strong backer~"

Nami: ...I don’t want to talk!

Luffy sat in front of the refrigerator and turned to look at Rayleigh, then suddenly tilted his head: "Are you really Nami's father?"

Rayleigh stopped drinking, and just when he was about to nod, he saw Luffy crossing his arms across his chest, looking up, looking like he was thinking hard, and continued: "But last time on the uninhabited island, Nami said that the Marine general……"

"Ahhhhhh~ Luffy, you bastard, shut up!"

Bang, bang...

"Can't you stop your mouth even if you eat?"

"Nami, why are you hitting me?"

"How dare you ask!"

"……I was wrong!"

Under the dumbfounded gazes of Xia Qi, Rayleigh and Zenia, Nami suddenly jumped out and beat Luffy up.

In the end, Luffy, the rubber man who was beaten, had a bruised nose, a swollen face and a big bump on his head, and was as pitiful and listless as a puppy.

Perhaps because he was afraid of being beaten again, Luffy raised his hand and apologized with a low eyebrow as if he was swearing: "I was wrong Nami, I won't dare to do it again!"

Nami snorted and clapped her palms, as if she was slapping away something dirty.

Seeing this scene, Rayleigh suddenly remembered what happened on Roger's boat.

As the only girl on the ship at that time, and the sister recognized by Roger himself, Zenia was very favored.

Roger was so favored that he became a sister-in-law, and even he, the deputy captain, did not dare to say anything to refute.

Roger was a bigoted man and always got into trouble. Zenia couldn't stand it and always beat him.

At that time, Roger was just like Luffy. His face was bruised and swollen after being beaten, and he didn't dare to say a word in rebuttal. He could only admit his mistake with a hurt face and apologize.

He was obviously the captain of the ship, but his status on the ship was directly reduced to a low position when facing his sister.

There are even people who share the same hatred with Zenia, saying that Roger is too messy and so on.

Looking back on that year, it was truly the most relaxing, happiest and most unforgettable time in Rayleigh's life.

Well~ Although Roger is still alive now.

But the Roger Pirates are no longer as active as they used to be.

Let’s look at the relationship between Nami and Luffy now.

Suddenly he felt like he was back in time.

Rayleigh couldn't help laughing, his voice was deep and hearty, calm and mellow as an adult.

His smile made Nami tense up.

Then, after realizing that his father's attention was no longer on the 'Admiral', he quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

Zenia couldn't help but look at Rayleigh.

I found that he was really happy, and even a little nostalgic in his happiness.

How not to miss it?

Even Zenia misses it.

I miss the casual freedom on the boat, I miss the slapstick in my youth, I miss the fun adventures, I miss...

There is so much to miss.

But ever since Roger faked his death and escaped 22 years ago, those days have never been the same again.

It’s not that everyone’s hearts are lost.

Rather, there are many people who have their own missions and commitments to fulfill, such as Oden and Kurokas.

There are also people who need to grow up on their own, such as Shanks, such as Bucky...

In addition, these people have done everything they should do and taken the risks they should take. As they grow older, their blood has cooled down and they have long lost the passion for adventure they once had.

And the last reason is also a very important reason.

Before Zenia came back, no one wanted to let the fact that Roger was alive be exposed, so even if Roger couldn't help but want to go to sea, a group of people would restrain themselves and set sail quietly.

Over time, many people get tired of being cautious and no longer like leaving Genie Island.

Although Zenia's return has made the island lively again, for Uta, even Zenia has become busy.

How long has it been? How long has it been since I saw Rayleigh smiling so freely?

Like a dead tree in spring, its body is gradually filled with the shadows of the past.

Zheniya couldn't help but lower her eyes, her butterfly-wing eyelashes trembling slightly.

Although it was inappropriate to think about this at this age, she... did neglect to accompany Rayleigh.

No matter how important your career is, is having a family important?

Her little hands secretly grasped the hem of her skirt.

She decided that after the war was over, she would return to Genie Island and no longer care about the ups and downs outside.

The left and right Uta can already control the demon king Tuotemujika. As long as he does not encounter an opponent of the level of a general, he is completely capable of fighting.

In addition, many people have good friendships with her, and Shanks has been secretly protecting her for so many years, Uta can completely take charge of her own role.

As for Nami...

She needs to walk the road to the future by herself. She can be a bystander and can help at the most critical moment, but she cannot be a complete participant.

Nami... also needs to grow up.

"What are you thinking about?" A warm and familiar big hand held her wrist.

Zenia subconsciously raised her head and met Reilly's smiling eyes.

Her heart couldn't help but feel soft.

He was always like this, always noticing something strange about her the first time.

So Zheniya smiled: "I was thinking that you haven't smiled like this for many years."

Looking at the tiny glimmer of water in Zheniya's eyes, Lei Li paused, and then said helplessly: "Yeah, maybe this is the magic power of young people, right?"

They are no longer young, and their love, no matter how vigorous, has settled down and become mellow, calm and stable.

Maybe Roger was right.

People of different ages pursue different things.

For example, when I was young, I pursued excitement and adventure.

But after having a family and children, what I pursue is comfort and happiness.

Who says that vigorous and vigorous is not love, and plain and watery is not love?

So Lei Li pulled the person into his arms and whispered: "Don't think too much, I feel very good now."

I don’t regret any of my decisions, and neither have you. There are no regrets in our lives.

In the next life, you can experience what you want to experience, and be stable if you want to be stable. At this age, even if we let go and live the life we ​​want, no one is qualified to say anything.

Leaning into Rayleigh's arms, Zenia felt her heart calm down.

Yes!

Why do you think so much?

She has him in her heart, and he has her in his heart. There are no regrets in this life, that's enough.

I didn’t get stuck in inexplicable emotions for too long.

Zenia left Rayleigh's arms.

Under Reilly's puzzled gaze, Zenia said, "I'll go out and take a look, and you talk to them."

Although I have the desire to retire, now is not the time.

So she explained with a smile: "Rosie has been talking to me about Luo. Now that the admiral is coming over, I always have to make sure that the kid is okay."

Rayleigh nodded clearly, told her to pay attention to her safety, and continued drinking and chatting with Luffy and the others.

It wasn't until Luffy and the others had rested and planned to find a place to hide here to spend three days safely and left that Xia Qi asked Lei Li, "Aren't you going to take a look?"

Lei Li drank wine and said with a smile: "No, I'm old and I don't want to join in such fun."

Xia Qi raised her eyebrows: "What about her? The baby you finally held in your hands is so willing to let her go free?"

Lei Li paused, looked up at Xia Qi, and said seriously: "She has never been my property, Xia Qi."

Xia Qi couldn't help but sigh: "You are nothing like the Pluto I know now."

Reilly chuckled and put down his glass: "I'm still the same person I was back then, but..." He sighed: "People can't always be strong, whether it's me, Roger or the others..."

"For some decisions, it's not that I want to give in, but that it depends on who makes me compromise!"

"I don't want to experience those eight years of darkness again!"

Xia Qi looked at Lei Li with a complicated expression.

Heroes always have their twilight years, and powerful people also have weaknesses... Forget it, let's do whatever it takes to love! What can she say as an outsider?
