Summary: The Elves' Daily Love

When they heard that Nami might die, Luffy and the others panicked.

They decided to change direction and go to the nearest island to find a doctor first.

After obtaining permission from the citizens of this nameless snow country, Yun Ci and Zoro stayed behind to guard the boat, while the rest of the people got off the boat together and went inside to look for a doctor.

Zoro was not injured in the battle, but being controlled by others still annoyed him, so he never stopped exercising.

In the cold snowy country, Zoro was shirtless, waving a huge piece of fitness equipment.

Yun Ci sat next to Hei Ya, rua while watching Zoro training, that sight——

So Sauron couldn't help but care.

He paused in his waving motion, turned to look at Yun Ci, and met her smiling face.

Sauron: "..."

He always felt that this look carried some meaning that he couldn't understand.

In 19, Zoro's world is all about becoming a great swordsman, and he is not interested in women at all.

Therefore, he just felt strange.

After being swept by that strange gaze again, Sauron turned around helplessly and looked at Yun Ci: "Yun Ci, is there something wrong?"

"what?"

Sauron: "..."

She had clearly been looking at him with strange eyes, but why did she look so innocent now?

"?"

Yun Ci tilted her head slightly, and Hei Ya followed her movement, tilting her head to the right and also looking at him with a blank look.

Zoro's mouth twitched: "Forget it."

He put down his fitness equipment, stretched his arms and walked to the boat: "I'm going for a winter swim."

“Don’t swim too far.”

"Know--"

Zoro jumped into the water with a "splash". The black duck immediately started quacking and rushed over to save people, but was stopped by Yun Ci.

"It's okay, it's okay. He didn't fall into the water. He just wanted to swim."

The black duck tilted its head: "Quack?"

Yun Ci touched Black Duck's head and said, "Black Duck, do you want to go down and play in the snow?"

"Gah!"

Yun Ci was bored of just sitting there, so she and Hei Ya built snowmen of all the current members of the Straw Hat Pirates nearby. Each person's features were very obvious.

The black duck quacked and flapped its wings, revealing a very beautiful Princess Vivi snowman.

Yunci gave it a thumbs up and took out the Polaroid camera: "Want to take a picture?"

Black Duck didn't understand, but still cooperated. He stood straight next to Princess Vivi's snowman, looking very imposing.

'Crack——' a sound.

The Polaroid camera slowly spit out a photo that was not yet completed.

Just wait a moment and the captured photos will gradually appear.

The Polaroid camera Yunci bought before was the kind that allowed one to choose photos for printing, so there was no surprise or anxiety in the composition of the photos.

The black duck was very happy looking at the photo and wanted to take it directly to show Princess Vivi.

But snow started falling again, and the cold drove the man and the duck back to the boat.

Sauron in the river disappeared at some point, but Yun Ci was not worried. She just waited quietly on the boat for the main force to return with new members.

Yunci was the one in charge of the kitchen these days. She couldn't eat much by herself, so she had to supplement her meal with her own fruits from time to time. When Sanji came back, he found that there was nothing missing in the kitchen.

Sanji said with some concern: "Miss Xiaoci, did you really eat well?"

At that time, Yun Ci was sitting on the deck admiring the pink cherry blossoms.

"Of course, don't worry, I won't starve myself."

Chopper looked at Yun Ci with curiosity. The inexplicable joy in his heart made him subconsciously want to get closer, but he was a little embarrassed.

"Go ahead." Nami pushed Chopper, "The little porcelain guy is very good."

Everyone is aware of Yunci's talent of being loved by animals, because they have seen animals on the island run over on their own and seek to be eaten.

Chopper staggered two steps and nervously bumped into Yun Ci's legs.

"Hello, Dr. Chopper, I'm Yunci."

Chopper was very happy to be called 'doctor': "Hello!"

Yun Ci held Chopper's right hand, shook it gently, then hugged Chopper, fixed her eyes on Zoro, and smiled, "So Zoro - why did you come back with your friends after the winter swim?"

Zoro, who promised not to swim too far, looked away guiltily: "...Sorry."

"You don't have to apologize, but I would be worried if you disappeared so suddenly."

Nami was keenly aware of something and her eyes shifted between Yunci and Zoro.

Speaking of which, on the ship, apart from being the closest to her, Xiaoci seemed to get along more with Zoro.

But because it was just daily training and sword skills, Nami didn't think much about it at first, but...

Nami quietly nudged Yunci's waist with her elbow: "You look like something is wrong."

Yun Ci smiled and responded: "What?"

Nami took the wine handed to her by Sanji with a meaningful smile. The noisy sound of the welcoming party on the ship mostly masked the volume of the girl's thoughts.

"I heard that the first person who invited you to stay was Zoro."

Yunci leaned back against the railing, raised her large wine glass and clinked it with Nami's: "Thank you for the kindness of swordsman to swordsman."

The light illuminated Yun Ci's smile. Different from her usual formulaic smile, her smile at this moment seemed more genuine.

Zoro's wine glass stopped at his lips until the stupid faces of Luffy, Usopp, and Chopper appeared in front of him with chopsticks stuck in their nostrils. He came back to his senses with a fright, guiltily poured the wine into his mouth, and then choked.

"Cough cough cough-"

"Green algae head, are you a child? You can't even drink alcohol?"

"What did you say, you stinky chef?!"

With a bang, he was thrown heavily onto the deck by two people, and a new round of battle began.

"It's so lively."

Nami used a sarcastic tone but had a relaxed smile on her face.

"It's more lively this way."

Vivi looked at everyone laughing and making noise, and her worries about Alabasta subsided a little.

The kneeling before landing on the island made her completely integrated into the big family of the Straw Hat Pirates. Now, seeing them happily playing with chopsticks, she also felt a little eager to try it out.

Nami stopped him very quickly: "Don't use your pretty face to do something like this!!!"

Vivi was dissuaded by Nami's serious expression, and only after she agreed did Nami return to her original smile.

"Come on! Let's continue the toast!"

Yun Ci raised her wine glass, and the three of them used some force to knock the glasses together.

The wine inside was shaking, and some of it spilled out and dripped onto the deck.

Sanji brought out the last portion of food, biting a cigarette and approached the three girls, asking if they wanted anything else.

Luffy and Chopper sat side by side, listening to Usopp, who was a little drunk, telling a story.

Zoro was sitting alone in the corner drinking, but his eyes would occasionally drift towards the girls.

The moonlight lengthened the figures of the people, and the breeze carried their laughter far away.
