One Piece's love has your time

It's been exactly a week since Shanks left.

During this week, I did the same thing almost every day. Ace sometimes sent out missions, but he refused to take me with him.Today just happened to be the day Ace came back.

As usual, I walked up to the tall lookout tower and stretched out my hand to feel the changes in the weather.

Um?I frowned, and leaned out of the stage again, today's wind...

The wind blew slightly, and then disappeared for a long time, and the skin felt a little stuffy.I quickly raised my head and looked towards the sky. The white clouds were moving very fast, and there were very few birds flying by in the sky.

I opened my eyes wide in shock, and then shouted loudly, "The storm is coming, everyone, get ready!"

This storm is fierce... I looked at the sky worriedly. I have encountered storms this week, but this time...

A ball of fire flew towards me, "Is it serious, Ann?" It was Ace.

I look at him, and Ace always senses my emotions right away.Then he expressed the worry in his heart, "This rainstorm will be very heavy, and it will be mixed with a storm, which is very dangerous!!"

Ace listened carefully to what I said, and then comforted me, "Don't worry, the Whitebeard Pirates can handle it."

Hearing Ace say this sentence, I suddenly heard similar words somewhere in a trance, and the memory was blown into my mind like this.

The sun shines on the sea, at noon, just after lunch, I sat on the deck under the big sun umbrella in a good mood.

"Aren't you going to take a nap?" Shanks came to me, looked at me and smiled.

"I just had a good meal, I'll go to bed later." I also smiled and replied, then looked at him, raised my eyebrows and said, "Are you...ready to swim?" My face was a little hot.

Shanks was wearing a pair of shorts, his upper body was bare, and he moved his muscles and bones slightly.Ah...the pecs! The abs! The figure! I swallowed secretly, and forced myself out of sight.Now I just want to throw him down, what should I do T^T

"Yes." Shanks replied, and then jumped into the sea.

I quickly got up, came to the side of the boat, and watched Shanks swimming beside the boat.

I looked at him in a daze, and I didn't know how far my thoughts had drifted.It wasn't until there was a muffled thunder that I woke up suddenly.

Looking up at the sky, there are already some dark clouds covering the sky.I beat my head annoyed, damn it, why didn't I find out earlier? !

"Shanks, come up! The storm is coming!" I hurriedly shouted to Shanks.

Shanks looked at me and replied, "Got it."

Sure enough, when Shanks just grabbed the lowered boat ladder, a gust of wind blew violently, and huge waves came over, driving the boat a long way.

"Shanks!" I called out worriedly.

Then, Shanks was pulled onto the boat by Beckman, and the heavy rain fell violently.

Bean-sized raindrops hit me and soon wet my whole body.But I still stood where I was, motionless.

"I'm sorry." I said guiltily to Shanks.As his navigator, he didn't feel the changes in the weather in time, which is my negligence.But the mistake just now almost killed Shanks, what face do I have to go back to the room to hide from the rain at this time? !

"What are you talking about? It's not your fault." Shanks stretched out his hand and gently rubbed my rain-drenched hair, "Hurry up and change into clean clothes, don't catch a cold."

Hearing him say this, his nose felt a little sour, and his eyes couldn't help becoming hazy, "But this time the rainstorm was heavy, I..."

Shanks interrupted me suddenly, and comforted me, "Don't worry, can't the red-haired pirates cope with a heavy rain?!"

Obviously, what Shanks swears reassures me a lot.But out of responsibility, I still didn't go back to the room, and I still stood beside Shanks to observe the rainstorm.

Shanks looked at me, chuckled, and then suddenly pulled up the black cloak that Beckman gave him just now.

When I was wondering what Shanks was going to do, the black cloak enveloped me.

I froze.

The black cloak blocked the raindrops that hit me, and the hot temperature beside me was exactly the body temperature Shanks radiated.Only the sound of rain and my nervous breathing remained.

I couldn't help getting closer to Shanks, but still kept a little distance.Even so, I still smiled happily, warm and moved.

"Thank you, Shanks," I said softly.

....................................

Suddenly, a line of clear tears slid down his cheeks.I raised my hand to wipe it away in a daze, only to find that my cheeks were already covered with water.

"Ann?!" Ace looked at me in panic.

I shook my head, then let Ace pull me off the gazebo and into the room.

The rainstorm came as expected, and Ace and I didn't speak, quietly waiting for the rainstorm to pass.

The rainstorm came and went quickly.Sure enough, such a storm was not a threat to the Whitebeard Pirates at all.

"Ann, you..." Ace said.

"Brother, I'm going to find Shanks." Yes, I said to Ace seriously.

Ace didn't look particularly surprised, but said lightly, "I'll see you off."

I smiled in relief, "Okay."

Thank you for tolerating my willfulness.

Sure enough, looking back on the past, I still yearn for the warmth of Shanks.I even think boldly and narcissistically, maybe Shanks likes me, but it's just because of some difficulties.

Then try again, take the initiative again! But if Shanks still evades, then he really has to give up.

May this time, don't let me down.
