[One Piece] Pirate Life of Port Officers

Three days later, at a spring island port under the Red Hair Pirates of the New World——

A deep-draft three-sail merchant ship anchored and docked. The symbol on the ship was the Jewel family, which is now well-known on the Great Sea Route.The relationship between this merchant family and the Red Hair Pirates has always been very good, and it is not uncommon for their ships to stop for supplies in Red Hair's territory.

But this time, most of the cadres of the red-haired pirates gathered at the port. The leading red-haired man was silent, and his right hand unconsciously stroked the handle of the knife, causing the sailors on the ship to involuntarily lower their breathing.

"I'm back, Shanks."

What broke the suffocating frozen air was the black-haired woman who jumped off the boat and appeared in front of the red-haired man in an instant.

She smiled and put her arms around the man's neck, buried her face on his bare chest, smelled his breath and listened to his heartbeat, and repeated that sentence again.

"I'm back, Shanks."

"Welcome back, love." Shanks' downcast eyes flashed countless complex emotions, and finally turned into a sigh. He stretched out his hands and hugged the woman tightly in his arms, with great strength It was as if he wanted to embed her into his own flesh and blood.

"Welcome back, Shalai." He also repeated this sentence in a low voice, as if he had regained a lost treasure.Landing on the cruelest sea area in the world, the man who has held great power for many years even has an imperceptible tremor in the end of his voice.

Sensing it, Sha Lai's body trembled, and she swallowed back the words she had prepared. For some reason, she felt her eyes were hot.

Really, they have been together for so many years, and they are still so worried about gains and losses, they are almost like elementary school students who have just begun to love each other.

Sha wanted to laugh, but she couldn't pull the corners of her mouth, and in the end she could only show an expression that seemed to be smiling but not crying.

She raised her head, intertwined with Shanks with a little apologetic eyes, and then slowly became firm, overflowing with a little bit of bright starlight, which made Shanks look dazed for a moment.

"I won't leave again," she said in a low voice, but enough for all the red-haired pirates at the port to hear clearly, "From now on, I will never leave your side again."

......

A few hours later, night fell, and piles of bonfires were lit in the open space on the island, and the dark clouds that had been floating over the island for several months were swept away. Drank it all in one gulp; the meat on the grill exuded a tantalizing aroma, and the impatient pirate cut a small piece and stuffed it into his mouth and ran away when the chef Cook was not paying attention. Just going to pursue it.

"Little ones! To celebrate the return of Yarn, cheers!"

"cheers--!"

"To celebrate Shalai not leaving, cheers!"

"cheers--!"

"To celebrate Sha Lai taking the initiative to hug me, ah—it hurts so much!"

Everyone in the red-haired pirates silently took back the cups in their hands, and turned their heads tacitly to chat with the people around them about the recent interesting things at sea, pretending not to see their boss's instep being stepped on by the thin high-heeled shoes.

deserve it!Who made you get carried away, boss, and forget who is the real big boss of the red-haired pirates.

But no matter how much they complained in their hearts and blamed their current boss who waved his hands repeatedly and whispered sorry to the black-haired woman with a smirk, they were still greatly relieved when they thought of the inhuman life they had lived these past few months.

Well, it's normal for the boss to be so nonchalant and smirking like this. In the past few months, the look of deep eyes, tight mouth, drinking alone is too scary. If possible, they don't want to see him in this life. expression.

After all, the boss of their red-haired pirates, Red-haired Shanks, is the most free and unrestrained man in this sea, who can smile no matter what he encounters, and deal with it fearlessly.

The appearance of an infatuated old man hurt by love is too inconsistent with his personality.

"Hey! Why do I have to sleep alone tonight?"

Hearing their captain's stupid yelling as usual, everyone in the red-haired pirates lowered their chatting voices tacitly, and listened carefully to their boss's another round of death.

"I specifically called Beckman Aikeou back and asked them to help with the paperwork. Why do you still have to spend the night in the study?"

Well, very good, besides Sha Lai, now the vice-captain Aikeou has also started to draw his gun and draw his sword with black air. Boss, you haven't done anything for a few months. Do you want to do it all in one go today?

"Because I haven't understood the situation of the world here for several months, I must start planning immediately today."

To their surprise, this time, Sha Lai didn't sneer at the first second of her mouth as usual this time, her clear and soft voice seemed to carry a hint of helplessness and pampering?

"Don't worry about Shanks, we still have most of our lives to spend together. These few days, let me deal with Ace's affairs first, okay?"

"Good! Good!"

"Hey-hahaha! Hahaha!"

After seeing their boss's eartips as red as a boy who had just begun to love, everyone in the red-haired pirate group couldn't help it anymore, and they slapped the table and laughed.

"Boss, you are too condescending! You were actually blushed by a girl who fell in love with you."

"That's right! With a boss like you, it's no wonder our Pirates don't have any girls."

"Boss, I have a lot of textbooks here, do you want to read and learn two tricks?"

"That's a good idea! Don't let Shalai run away because of her poor skills."

......

Shanks looked at the crew who launched a Mai Tai offensive against him again, and was not angry.He stretched out his hand to pick up the wine glass that he had just had a sip of, and drank it down with a faint lipstick mark. He threw the quilt on the open space with a smile, and said:

"That's not necessary, anyway, I already have love, you should leave these things to yourself who doesn't even have a regular partner."

The air was suddenly quiet for a moment, and then some unset firewood was blown into the campfire by the evening wind, and the flames made a slight crackling sound.

Then, as if waking up from a dream, the pirates all stood up and protested, shouting and pumping their fists.

"Boss, what do you mean!!!"

"As the boss, you are still sarcastic for not helping your subordinates solve life-long problems! You didn't say that when I got on the boat!"

"Boss, do you know that you have to be humble and low-key! You will be beaten if you show your affection in front of a single dog like this!"

"Boss, I'm going to tell Shalai where you secretly hide wine! I found more than one place when I cleaned last time!"

"Boss..."

In the end, it was Sha Lai who told them to stop the farce of the night because she was tired and wanted to rest.

But in fact, if it wasn't for Ace's execution day, which was less than a week away, she would be happy to enjoy the cake made by the long-lost Cook himself, while listening to her partners breaking the scandal of Shanks.

Maybe let them talk about it until tomorrow morning, and she will be able to dig out all Shanks' wine storage, completely eliminating the possibility of him secretly drinking behind her back.

***

In the early morning of the second day, most of the members of the red-haired pirates who had been partying all night were spread out on the grass in the form of corpses, their eyes were swollen and their faces were dull, and they were holding their heads in pain. Wake them up.

"After reading the documents all night and doing morning exercises, I don't know whether to praise you for your energy or for getting used to it."

Beckman stubbed out the cigarette in his hand, walked to the side of the Foss ship, put his hands on the railing and looked up at the sky, and said hello to Sha Lai who was aiming at the leaves on the branches on the shore to practice shooting: "Good morning, Sha Come."

"Good morning, Beckman." Sha Lai turned her head with a smile, her hands kept moving, and after the continuous sound of bang bang bang, Beckman clearly sensed the life breath of pests on the three leaves of the smallest tree on the shore dissipated, and the trees themselves received no damage.

"It feels like you have a lot more gray hair than when I left, why? Was it because of Shanks' anger?" Sara changed the magazine for the gun with a click and retracted the holster, and imitated Beckman's appearance On the railing, looking up at the dawn sky in a daze.

"I've said that my family inherited early gray hair, don't always use this to make fun of me." Beckman reluctantly took out a cigarette, because there was a guy who hated the smell of cigarettes and just held it in his mouth without lighting it. Smell the smell, so as to calm down my mood and prevent myself from being taken away from the rhythm.

"Let's not talk about this, Ikeou and I have summarized and classified the documents on your desk, how do you feel?" He stared at a star in the sky that was gradually dimming due to the sun's rays, his tone was indifferent, his eyes were deep, I can't tell what I'm thinking.

"The first impression is that the two of you are very capable of collecting information, and I am useless as an intelligence officer at all?" Sarai thought of the piles of documents on the table that were carefully classified and timed to the sky, her eyes widened. A touch of warmth.

After she left, Beckman, who almost took care of the big and small affairs of the red-haired pirates, and Ikeo, who had a good head but was not interested in anything except the ruins.She knew how much work the two of them had worked to obtain the information about Ace from the World Government.

It was precisely because of this that she was even more touched.It's really good to have someone to help you take care of everything when you go home, just feel like a salted fish with peace of mind.

"Shalai-"

Beckman's speechless shout brought Sha Lai back to reality, she smiled and turned her head, winking at him playfully, her expression was very relaxed, she didn't look like a baby brother who was about to be publicly executed.

Reminiscent of her doting on Fire Fist that made Shanks jealous, Beckman frowned slightly, not understanding where her leisurely attitude came from.

"Don't worry, Beckman." Sarai smiled mysteriously, with a confident light in her eyes, "I will never let the navy take Ace's life like this!"

"The chessboard has been unfolded, and I know almost all of their pieces, but they don't even know about my pieces."
