"Usopulajin--" The rain was getting heavier, with strong winds howling continuously. The Merry was sailing with difficulty on the choppy sea. The first step to escape from Rogue Town was to survive the storm.

Pirates spend almost their entire lives sailing on the sea, and the number of pirates who die of old age is relatively small. Some die while searching for treasure, some die in conspiracies with other pirates, some die in pursuit by the government navy, etc. However, many die from the unpredictable temper of the sea.

How to survive in severe weather conditions again and again depends on the ability of the navigator.

Fortunately, Nami is a highly gifted navigator. Since the Straw Hat Pirates have fewer partners to recruit, everyone has their own responsibilities in this crisis.

Nami directed everyone calmly.

Dazai Osamu sat on the sheep's head of the Merry, with his head held high and his arms spread out, as if embracing the front. He closed his eyes, enjoying the baptism of the storm, and the corners of his mouth pulled upwards, "Death at the hands of nature is also a good choice~"

"Zoro, drag that idiot down for me!" Nami looked at the leisurely Dazai Osamu who was out of tune with the people on the boat, took a deep breath, and tried to control him as soon as possible to prevent Dazai Osamu from causing trouble again at this time.

"Hey!" Zoro aimed his fists and walked forward to deal with Dazai Osamu with a grin.

A pulling force came, and Dazai Osamu was lifted up by the back of his collar. "Dazai, go and fix things!" Nami pointed the compass at the weather, glanced at Dazai Osamu, and ordered.

"Yes~" Dazai Osamu curled up his legs and raised his hands in surrender. He looked to the right at Zoro with his big eyes, motioning him to put him down.

After a day's hard work, the storm was over.

"I'm so tired~ Sanji, I want to eat crab meat pot~" Dazai Osamu leaned against the pillar and placed the order without hesitation.

"Meat!" Luffy raised his hand tremblingly, saliva running through his mouth, indicating that he needed it too.

Sanji rubbed his hair that was still stained with water droplets, took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it up, and took a puff, "Wait a moment, it will be ready soon! It's just the right prize for us--" He rolled up his sleeves and went into the kitchen, ready to cook a big meal to comfort everyone who had worked hard.

Zoro lay on the recliner and fell asleep due to exhaustion. The soft sunlight sprinkled on his face, bringing a faint warmth, and even warmed up his cold body.

Luffy sat cross-legged on the deck, his big, lifeless eyes hypocritically looking at the endless sea.

"Luffy, look, what is that!" Usopp was lying on the railing to rest. With his good eyesight, he saw a large black shadow floating in front of him. Curious and full of energy, he called out to Luffy.

"Is that a crow?" Luffy blocked the sun with his hands and tried his best to see what was in front of him.

"I heard that crows will circle around their freshly dead prey." Nami wiped her hair with a towel and went into the bathroom to take a shower as soon as the rain stopped. She came out with steam on her face and heard the conversation between Usopp and Luffy, and said casually.

"Food!" Luffy's eyes lit up, and he stretched out his arm without thinking, and reached back with one hand, bringing something over, "It's a big one!" Luffy's mouth was drooling more and more.

Dazai Osamu looked at the thing that was getting closer and closer, and hurriedly lowered his body. Luffy's hand bounced backwards due to inertia, just sweeping over Dazai Osamu and knocking Zoro, who was resting on the recliner, away. Zoro paused in the air for a second in a daze, and fell into the sea with a "splash".

"Ahhh—Zoro fell into the sea!" Usopp shouted and hurried to the warehouse to get something.

Dazai Osamu ran to the railing with a gloating look, stuck his head out, looked at Zoro floating on the sea, and waved his hand happily, "Look over here, eggplant!" Very good, Zoro's dark history was recorded by Dazai Osamu again.

"I will kill you sooner or later!" Zoro grabbed the rope dropped by Usopp, murderous intent surging in his heart.

"This isn't food!" Nami looked at what Luffy had grabbed. It was a little girl wearing a brown floral dress and a long white hat, lying on the deck with her eyes closed.

When Luffy heard that it was not food, he suddenly lost all his energy and fell to the ground pale.

"Usopp, take her into the cabin." Nami asked someone to move the still sleeping little girl into the room to rest.

"It's time to eat!" After such a long time, Sanji had already prepared a sumptuous meal and came out to call Luffy and the others to eat. He saw the sleeping little girl and smiled, "Another guest." He went back to the kitchen and prepared a meal for one person.

Although eating is just a simple way to replenish the nutrients needed by the human body, eating delicious food is a double enjoyment both mentally and physically.

The food that Sanji made with the legendary fish seemed to be glowing, and everyone's mind was only focused on eating.

*****

The little girl on the bed slowly opened her eyes, looked at the unfamiliar environment, sat up suddenly, and looked around like a frightened bird.

"You're awake." Nami said with a kind smile, patting her head "Is it because of the storm?"

"Thank you for saving me!" The little girl knelt on the bed and thanked them solemnly.

"I thought it was food!" Luffy said embarrassedly, holding his head.

"Yi——" The little girl looked at Luffy in fear.

"We are a pirate ship and we are going to sell you." Dazai Osamu suddenly appeared, put his head in front of the little girl, and said with a malicious look on his face.

The little girl's face became darker and darker, her body began to tremble, and tears welled up in her eyes.

"Don't listen to his nonsense, he just likes to joke around." Nami pushed Dazai Osamu away, tried her best to comfort the little girl, and said with an awkward smile: "Although we are a pirate ship, we are good people."

Dazai Osamu sat in the chair nonchalantly, stretched and yawned, "How boring."

"Gurgle--" The little girl, who had not eaten for a long time, sent a warning from her body. She covered her aching stomach and did not dare to speak.

"Eat." Sanji saw the little girl wake up and quietly went back to the kitchen to heat up the meal. A hot meal was placed in front of the little girl.

The little girl glanced at Sanji cautiously, "You won't have the strength if you don't have a full meal, miss," Sanji exhaled a puff of smoke and spoke to the little girl like a gentleman.

The little girl began to eat voraciously.

"We are not bad pirates." Nami said, looking at the hungry little girl.

"Good night." Luffy and his companions did not ask about the little girl's origins or why she was lying on the boat alone. They cleaned up the dishes considerately, left her some space to be alone, and left.

The room returned to silence, with only the little girl lying on the bed, holding her satisfied belly, thinking about something.
