[One Piece] Pirate Life of Port Officers

Because the obstacles caused by the snowstorm were greater than expected, Sha Lai arrived at the banquet location a little later than she expected.

Sliding down from the cliff with some apprehension, and coming to this area sheltered by the surrounding cliffs with almost no wind and snow, Sha Lai brushed off the falling snow on her body, and walked slowly to the nearest bonfire, He took a plate of food casually, intending to just blend in with the drinking and laughing fellow pirates.

Hey, why are they all drinking and no one is eating?

After walking a few steps, Sha Lai felt something was wrong when she realized that her behavior was extremely out of character.I didn't expect that these guys who always grab the food on the Voss would have the patience to wait for their partners, but she hasn't eaten yet, so it should be fine to just put it back, right?

Thinking of this, with the idea that things couldn't get any worse, Shalai, who had gradually become the focal point of this area, calmly put the plate on the wooden shelf beside the campfire, but her hand was stopped halfway. up.

"This is my hare stewed in red wine. The ingredients are all obtained from this island. It is a dish that can only be prepared here." Cook, who is almost twice her height, bent down and reached out to touch the edge of the plate, letting it Unable to go back to the shelf, she said softly to Sha, "Eat it while it's hot, and it's a waste of such good ingredients when it's cold."

Although she found that Cook had always taken good care of her when she was on the Foss, she still felt sorry for eating when everyone was hungry and waiting for someone.

When Sha Lai was struggling with how to thank Cook for his kindness, a "creaking" sound of snow trampling came from behind her, and before she could turn her head, a wave of hostile yelling told her that they Who is the master of.

"Tsk tsk tsk, look, Cook actually made people eat before the banquet."

"No, no, no, I firmly refuse to admit that this person is Cook. Could it be that one of you brought out the zombie from the ruins and made it play tricks here?"

"I also think this possibility is more likely, or we traveled through time and space when digging the ruins. Otherwise, even if Cook didn't throw the kitchen knife at this time, he would still get punched."

"I like it too——Cook, what are you doing!"

After a tearing sound that was so fast that it was hard to reflect, the top of the cliff above where the pirates lived broke apart, and the gravel and snow fell together. To be buried alive below.

Amidst their protests, Cook walked over and pulled out the kitchen knife that had fallen on the top of the snowdrift, shook it at them, and smiled faintly at their gradually turning blue faces, "Prove to you that nothing can be done except throwing a kitchen knife and If I throw my fist, I will do something else."

"..."

"Hahaha--"

After a second of silence, bursts of laughter broke out.

"It deserves it, who told you guys to mess with Cook."

"That's right, have you forgotten who is in charge of the food after going out for a year?"

"Don't dig the ruins and be stupid!"

......

Seeing this familiar daily routine of fighting against each other, Sha Lai sighed, put the plate back calmly, and looked helplessly at the faces of those who were ridiculed, covering their stomachs with laughter.

It is true that there is a crew of whatever kind of captain there is. These people are almost as big-hearted as Shanks, and they can laugh at everything.But speaking of it, she didn't seem to see Shanks after landing today. Did he go to deal with the internal affairs of the Pirates?

No, it's impossible.Thinking of the proud expression on Shanks's face when he said plausibly that the captain is the most free person who can do whatever he wants, she calmly crossed out this option.

The idea of ​​guessing that kind of guy is simply life-threatening, so she might as well give up.

But at this moment, Sha Lai, who was watching other people's jokes, didn't know that someone was watching her in the dark.

"Beckman, is that the crew that the boss hired recently?" The blond man walked up to the vice-captain who was dodging in the corner, and asked suspiciously, "I suspect that she will shave in the sixth style of the Navy, and just let people in like that." really all right?"

"It has been confirmed that she can shave and moon steps, but the boss said that she used moon steps when he saw her for the first time in Simerip, so—" gave the little friend a look that you understand, Beckman Ben Want to end this thread here.But in the other party's eyes that I didn't want to understand clearly through the sunglasses, I reluctantly added my own opinion.

"Actually, we met Shalai a year ago in Chambord. She helped Kate, Kevin, and his siblings solve the troublesome pirates. During the few days of observation in Ximirip, she was okay, just her identity. The abilities are all confusing. At present, we only know that she was originally a member of the Mafia, and she has not left yet; the ability is to make people fall into hallucinations through singing, but after using it, she will be unconscious for several days."

After finishing speaking, Beckman stubbed out the cigarette butt in his hand, and patted the shoulder of his partner who seemed to be thinking about it, "You also know that the boss always likes interesting things, anyway, he personally invites people on board, there will be nothing Big question. After a year of reunion, why don't you have a drink, Ikeo?"

Thinking of the beast-like intuition of his boss, Aikeou reluctantly accepted this statement, picked up a glass of wine from the side and touched Beckman, which was regarded as exposing the matter.

However, the two long-lost cadres had just finished a drink, and before they had time to fill themselves up, the boss who had been missing for a long time finally made his final appearance.

"Haha! I didn't expect that I was the last one to arrive. Everyone came earlier than I thought."

Looking at Shanks who was smiling and pushing a big cart, Sha Lai actually asked him that these people were arranged by Beckman. How did you imagine when they arrived?No matter how well used the color of knowledge and knowledge is, it can't cover the nearby sea area, right?

But it feels like he won't react even if he says it.

Salai, who was complaining happily in her heart, saw Shanks pushing the cart all the way towards her, and the alarm bells rang in her heart.

How did he come to her?Not to mention that partners don't use knowledge to test each other, even if he knows that he is complaining, he probably won't care.He is now pushing this cart over, could it be premeditated?Tsk, I feel more and more ominous.

Shanks, who had no idea that he had been hacked all over, walked up to Sarai, and without waiting for her to speak, he lifted the big cover on the cart with a swipe.

Sha Lai, who reflexively took half a step back by his blow, finally saw the true face of the thing he pushed over like offering a treasure.

It was a very beautiful six-layer cake that glowed golden in the dark.The exquisite cream decoration on the cake surrounds the brightly colored fruits, and draws out many beautiful flower patterns, which people can't bear to destroy.What's even more valuable is that the decoration of this cake was not damaged at all when it was transported here in such a snowy day.

"Ah! Not good, it's reversed!" With Shanks bluffing, the cake in front of Sarai was turned around, showing its other side.

"HAPPYBIRTHDAYSARA." After softly reading the three words squeezed out with pink cream on the sides of the first three layers of cake, Shalai felt that there seemed to be something wrong with her vocal cords, and she couldn't follow her brain's instructions well.

No, maybe it's a brain problem?Otherwise, why would she think that the combination of pink and gold is very pleasing to the eye, and the simple and rude way of placing words did not damage the overall beauty of the cake.

Listening to Shanks' rambling voice, she lowered her head slightly, memories and reality were intertwined together, making it difficult for her to tell who was the illusion for a moment.

"Because you said you didn't know your own birthday... Well, how about celebrating my birthday on the same day as mine?" The young man in a beige coat rubbed his messy red curly hair with one hand, and lit seven candles with the other. little cake for her.

"Because you said that it was your 16th birthday when you met me on the first day in Ximirip, so I wanted to give you cakes and blessings when I came back." Amidst the booing of the people around, Hong Fa Pirate seriously lit sixteen candles on the cake.

She is obviously a completely different person, so why does she feel so similar that it makes people cry?

"Happy birthday, Xilai." The blessings from the people around were mixed with the gentle and magnetic male voice in the past. Xilai slowly raised her head, her blank gaze swept over everyone present, and finally stopped at On Shanks with the brightest smile.

"Thank you." After finally finding her voice, Shalai opened her mouth, and finally repeated the word in a murmur, "Thank you."

Although her voice was low, none of the people present were ordinary people. These two thank yous really reached everyone's ears.

Then, the pirates who were waiting with bated breath, looked at me and I looked at you, all shrinking their necks and not knowing what to say.Who knows what to do with a little girl who is about to cry!Come on someone!This question is even more difficult than what should be done by the Shanghai Admiral!

Shanks, who had stood beside the cake for a long time as if offering a treasure, saw the smile on his face froze for a second after seeing Salai's reaction.His eyes drifted around, and after finding that the person receiving his gaze was either looking up at the sky or looking down at the snow, he had no choice but to walk over by himself, took off the straw hat and put it on Shalai's head, and patted her head through the hat.

"If you join us, you don't have to be so extravagant, and you don't have to be so polite. Come and make a wish and share the cake. It took Cook and the others nearly an afternoon to make it." Shanks, who couldn't think of any comforting words, directly Pushing the person in front of the cake, hoping to divert her attention.

And Sha Lai, who was pushed and shoved in front of the cake by him, had already calmed down her emotions.

She raised her hand and adjusted the oversized straw hat so that she could see the cake and people in front of her clearly.Then he took a deep breath and blew out the sixteen candles together.

"Oh oh oh—"

"Not bad, come Xiaosha."

"One more time! One more time!"

......

Looking at the group of people booing in an instant, the last bit of sadness in Xilai's heart was replaced by helplessness.

Let's do it again. Although she didn't make a wish just now, it's too weird to blow out candles twice on the birthday cake, right?

However, the ethos of the red-haired pirates should have something to do with Shanks, the captain, who didn't take a good lead.Thinking of Shanks' serious look when he said that he didn't have to be so polite when he joined, she laughed twice.

Maybe, she really needs to break some of the habits she developed in the Mafia.
