Shanks found Xia Qi's tavern with ease.

The door of the tavern was open, as if he had expected him to come here.

Lu Jiu stared at the man who suddenly came to visit in surprise, her eyes constantly attracted to the straw hat on his head.

Shanks' eyes widened when he saw her, his face full of disbelief.

Lujiu: "You are..."

Shanks: "Miss Lujiu?!"

Wait, how could he see Miss Lujiu here!

Before he had any more time to wonder, the silver-haired man sitting in front of the bar turned around and said with a smile: "Long time no see, Shanks."

Seeing a familiar person, Lu Jiu quickly closed the door of the tavern and put the "Closing" sign.

Shanks took off his robe, placed it on the sofa aside, and took the wine glass from Rayleigh.

"Mr. Reilly, I came to talk to you about something important. The group of people found out after all. Fortunately, the people around her are willing to help, but our enemies are too powerful."

The enemy is someone who cannot be defeated. Even if he can narrowly defeat him, it will only be temporary.

Shanks spoke very quickly, and years of accumulation could not keep him calm at this moment.

Rayleigh listened to his words and did not calm his anxious mood.

He said: "Death is an important node that cannot be changed, and danger is a part of destiny that needs to be experienced. Don't you have enough confidence to face everything that will happen on the road ahead? How can you stick to what you want when you are so restless? Woolen cloth?"

Shanks was stunned and lowered his head like a child who had done something wrong.

It was true that he was too impatient, and that look of asking for help was indeed not what a man should have.

But...he was too entangled in his heart.

Roger had informed him of his and Xiao Ai's background when the Roger Pirates disbanded, and he thought Xiao Ai was really his sister.

Fortunately not.

But regardless of whether it is true or not, Xiao Ai's illness or tragic experience seems to be related to his family, and the source of the evil is the Tianlong people.

After learning about his life experience, how will he face Xiao Ai?

partner? family?

Or an enemy?

At least, he couldn't forgive him for having that kind of blood in his body, and he couldn't forgive him for feeding Xiao Ai his own blood on his own initiative.

Blood is the root cause of Xiao Aisheng's strange disease!

Indirectly causing her to be in danger now.

Rayleigh saw his pain, slapped his palm heavily on the shoulder of the tall man standing in front of him, and said sincerely: "Shanks, identity doesn't mean anything, position is more important."

A person's background is never a criterion for judging right or wrong. Sometimes it is a prison that imprisons a person. As long as the direction of the heart is correct, it is good.

Lu Jiu was confused as she listened to the conversation between the two, and a bad premonition came to her heart. She asked softly: "Did something happen to Ya?"

A woman's senses are always so sharp, and she was so attentive that she noticed something was wrong since Rayleigh had been staying in the tavern these past few days.

Ever since she was sent to Leili for protection by Elleya, her heart had been uneasy.

But now, the uneasiness is getting stronger.

Lu Jiu covered her mouth and her voice was trembling: Ya...is she..."

Shanks closed his eyes and acquiesced to her guess.

Lu Jiu held back her tears, put down her hands and begged: "Please take me to her side. You are not with her at this time. What if she is dying and there is no one to take care of her."

Rayleigh and Shanks: "?"

Lujiu guessed that Alaya was in danger, but she seemed to be wrong.

Shanks waved his hands and shook his head: "No, no, Xiao Ai is not terminally ill, nor is he dying!"

After saying that, he lowered his head and said, "But you are right, she must be scared if I am not by her side and no one is by her side at this time."

It must be very difficult for a person to face the disaster of life and death.

Even if you feel ashamed and guilty, you can't abandon her because of this.

Shanks' inner haze dissipated a lot.

Riley's fingers holding the wine glass were a little white, and he put his other hand on his forehead and kneaded it twice.

"Lujiu, I have got the things Xiao Ai asked you to bring, and I also know what she means. Momola and Bana will bring you back to the East China Sea safely later, Xiao Ai...will be fine. ”

Shanks nodded and said: "Miss Lujiu, please protect your own safety during this period and avoid any danger. I will take her home."

The tone of the two was not too serious, and the matter may not be as complicated as imagined.

Lu Jiu sighed and wiped the water droplets from her eyes with her fingers, "I will, I will go home and wait for you to bring her back."

No matter what happens, she will not hold back, and she will be at home waiting for Ya to come back.

Xia Qi and the other three who went out to purchase supplies also returned to the tavern at this time.

Xia Qi threw the things on the ground, took out a cigarette from her pocket and lit it. Facing the young man who came to the door, she was not surprised at all: "Since everyone is here, when will we act?"

They are about to launch a rescue plan.

How could they sit still and wait for the child who considered them family.

"I have asked my companions to go to Fish-Man Island, and I am going to Mary Joa!"

Shanks clenched his fists and put on his cloak again. Stimulated by the alcohol in that glass of wine, he mustered up his courage.

Riley took the last sip of wine and said, "Ah, go and find the answers you want, everything you want to know about her, about you, and about this world."

To question, to rob, to rescue.

This is their own personal destiny and adventure.

......

The group was divided into three groups.

Momola and Bana took Lujiu back to the East China Sea.

Shanks also boarded the boat heading to Red Harbor in the Red Continent.

Riley was carrying a large bag of things and sat on a raised tree root with a touch of worry.

Memories can't help but come to mind.

Roger held Elleya in his arms and coaxed her to sleep.

Recently, my little girl has been having nightmares and cannot sleep peacefully.

Shanks and Bucky were worried and squatted at the door of the room to eavesdrop.

Bucky: "Will Xiao Ai talk in her sleep again? She won't cry and howl again, right?"

Shanks played with his shoelaces in silence and said nothing.

Xiao Ai always wakes up crying in his dreams. Adults say that it is common for children to have nightmares, but neither he nor Bucky have ever had nightmares.

What's more, for someone as strong as Xiao Ai, what could he dream about that would make him wake up crying?

Every cry is heartbreaking, distressing and uncomfortable.

Xiao Ai is still sick!

The two little ones were nervous.

Reilly held up the lamp and asked them to keep their voices down, and asked them to go to their bunk beds, but the two children and the first one started talking to the cabin.

Bucky clenched his chin: "I'm so envious. They are all teenagers. The captain must be too in love with Xiao Ai!"

"Yeah, it's not fair." Shanks agreed perfunctorily, trying to divert the tension in his heart.

The two of them kept complaining, their eyes never leaving the closed door.

Lei Li smiled softly, showing some sadness under the reflective lenses.

"If only love could last forever." He murmured softly.

Shanks and Bucky both turned to look at him: "What?"

The two of them didn't hear what he said clearly.

Rayleigh stared blankly at the calm sea surface on the coast. The white paper in his hand was burning, and the sparks dissipated in the air with the wind. His eyes were moist.

Memories are really the most hurtful thing.

It would be great if love could last forever, but as life passes, love will gradually become blurred.

Death is an unavoidable node in life. How can we cross those names off the death list...

Roger, you can make it in time, right?

Xia Qi packed her luggage and stood behind him, "Leilly, it's time for us to set off. The child's fate should not end here."

After the Valley of the Gods incident, Garp unexpectedly received shocking news from high-level officials of the World Government. It was about the girl they took away. A child who was supposed to die in the war unexpectedly survived. They thought they had been Everything will be fine.

But in Wingenes, Garp completed all the information about Alleya.

Everyone in the Roger Pirates knew her life and experiences, but they had almost forgotten about her lively and energetic appearance after just getting along with her for a long time.

It wasn't until she fell ill that they realized it was truly a miracle that she survived.

Riley stood up and adjusted his white shirt, "Yes, she is a miracle."

Miracles will come again.
