[One Piece] Pirate Life of Port Officers

South Carolina is a spring island with a mild and humid climate, lush vegetation, sharp flowers, and blue sky. At first glance, it is quite livable.

As soon as the Foss landed and lowered the gangway, a maid in a black background and white dress came to meet her.

"Welcome to South Carolina, everyone from the Red Hair Pirates." The bright-looking woman looked to be in her early twenties, with a slim figure and graceful manners, "I'm Nancy, and I'm honored to be in charge of the affairs of your group's visit this time. Would you like to have lunch now?"

Clothes, language, facial expressions, and movements are all gentle and respectful.According to Sha Lai, this woman named Nancy can basically be the chief maid of any royal palace.

It's a pity that what she is facing now is not a nobleman who will kiss her hand, but a group of pirates who are most troubled by red tape.

"It's not the first time we've come to this island, you can go and play as you please, don't follow us." Shanks who walked in the front waved casually to express his refusal, as if the one who smiled at him in front of him was not a young and beautiful woman , but an old woman in her seventies or eighties.

"Boss——, you are too unscrupulous."

"You're stupid! That's called Xixiang Lianyu."

"What are you picking out words for? It can show that you are educated!"

"Of course, I think back then when I was in my hometown, people called me—"

"Ahem." Shalai, who was walking behind, had black lines all over her face, and had to cough lightly to stop these single-cell partners from embarrassing themselves in front of outsiders.

After the red-haired Shanks hit a wall, she was teased by the "sinister" pirates, but the woman named Nancy was not affected at all. She kept smiling, took out a phone bug, and put it in Shanks' palm.

"Since you said so, I won't bother you any more. This is my phone bug. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me."

After she finished speaking, she bowed to the members of the red-haired pirates in front of the Foss, and exited gently and politely.

Sha Lai on the side noticed that when she was playing the phone bug, her fingers had slid across Shanks' palm.So after she left, Shalai stepped forward to take the phone bug in Shanks' hands, checked it, and asked at the same time: "Shanks, when you came to this island, the maid who answered you also Is it all this respectful attitude?"

"Well, there seems to have been enthusiastic and lively ones? I don't remember much." Shanks replied vaguely, as if he wanted to bring this topic to the past, "Didn't you make an appointment with Diamond to have lunch together?" ? Which restaurant is it?"

"Did the original maid give you any sexual hints?"

"Puchi-"

"Cough cough cough-"

As soon as Sha Lai finished speaking, the pirates next to her seemed to be choking on their own saliva, and coughed one after another.

"That... yes. But we never mess around on this kind of island where fish and dragons are mixed together, ah no, we never mess around... uh... Sha Lai, how about we go have dinner? Are you not hungry?" Shanks lost ground under Sha Lai's serious gaze, and begged for mercy to change the subject.

In fact, since Sha Lai boarded the ship, the brothers on the Foss have been more careful when joking, and have never said any pornographic jokes in front of her.Occasionally going to the island to meet physiological needs is also sneaky, for fear of polluting the only girl on the boat.

But later, they found that their behavior was actually a bit redundant.

Once, a late returning pirate ran into Sha Lai and was swept away by her with a smile that was not a smile. If old wounds are used as an excuse, it is impossible to stay overnight in the house of the sweetheart.

Then......

Sha Lai has become the emotional counselor in the hearts of these pirates, making her extremely regret that day's gossip.However, when things came to an end, she couldn't refuse those rough guys who showed coy looks.

These partners of hers knew that they could not stay on an island for a woman.So most of them just spent money to go to the island to look for wandering warblers. They drank the strongest wine, enjoyed the most beautiful women, took risks on the sea wantonly, and felt that they had no regrets in this life.

But there are still a small number of lucky people who have met the true love of this life and feel unable to let go.

Some of them will pretend to be good men, and after they get married, they will return to the Pirates on the grounds of work. They will go back every once in a while and try their best to play an ordinary husband and father.

Some will tell their real situation to the other party, and then either get married and become a prodigal son whose family comes after their dreams; or they don’t get married and maintain an open emotional relationship until the woman marries or dies.

But I don't know why, even though he knew that she understood from the bottom of his heart, these partners of his would still cover up this kind of thing clumsily and not let her touch it.

"Okay, it's not like I haven't seen this kind of thing before." Sha Lai looked at the sky and the earth but didn't look at her friends, and shook her head amusedly, "I usually don't care about it, but this one named Nancy just now The maid clearly made a hint to write the room number on the palm, but she has been using the honorifics that pirates least like from the beginning to the end, which is obviously wrong."

After throwing the phone bug back to Shanks, Sara saw him obviously relieved, and continued helplessly: "Judging from your answer and reflection just now, the maid in the past must have been more enthusiastic than her." .So this Nancy did it because she didn't want to commit herself to others. If we want to know some secret information about this island in the future, this phone bug may come in handy."

"Ah! So it is."

"As expected of Xiaoshalai!"

"That's right, the boss is really inferior!"

Xilai looked at the group of friends who were smiling and praising her expressionlessly, her heart was not fluctuating, and she really wanted to ask the person who called her Xiaoshalai out for a fight.How many times has she said that she is no longer young and don't call her that anymore, why don't these people listen? !

"Okay, okay, I'm going to be ashamed to brag any more, let's go eat! ... Uh... where is the restaurant, Xilai?"

Sha Lai looked at the captain who took a step and then turned back with a smile, and asked her the way without changing his face, and silently backed up a few steps, and walked together with Cook and Aikeou, determined not to admit that the bastard was own captain.

But once the thief ship is on board, it is not so easy to get off.

No matter how disgusted, this is also my own captain, my own pirate group.

So when she arrived at the restaurant she had agreed with Diamond, Sha Lai put aside her initial disgust, put on a gentle smile, greeted him politely, and briefly introduced the two sides.

"Good afternoon, Diamond. This is my partner, the Red Hair Pirates. I don't think I need to introduce them to you one by one."

"Everyone, this is Diamond Jewel, the heir to the world's number one jeweler. He did me a little favor about two years ago, and we've been in touch ever since."

After the introduction, all the members of the red-haired pirates took their seats in this restaurant that was reserved by the eldest master Diamond. For some reason, they all surrounded Diamond intentionally or unintentionally, separating him from Sarai. open.

"Hey! You guys remember, Shalai is our partner, keep a distance from her, hear me?"

"That's right, don't show off just because you have two bad money!"

"And what are you wearing? Are you wearing this fancy collar for a beauty pageant?"

......

Sha Lai, who was sitting opposite Diamond, received all the low-pitched threatening voices in her ears.

Seeing that Diamond was still smiling and nodding gracefully, she secretly raised his evaluation in her heart.If the heir can have this energy-raising skill, it seems that the Jewel family will be able to maintain their commercial supremacy in this sea for many years in the future.

Then, when the smile on the corner of Diamond's mouth began to froze, Sara tapped on the table with her knuckles, telling those booing partners to stop for a while, so as not to scare her important partner.

But before she could open her mouth, an eager and fierce voice exploded in her ears, echoing in the restaurant that had just quieted down.

"You are the young master who passed by Fengxue Island not long ago! Let me ask you, do you know Lei Te? Or did you notice any abnormalities at that time?"

Wright raised his eyebrows upside down, narrowed his eyes slightly, and stared in Diamond's direction.In addition, his hands were propped on the table, his upper body leaned out, and he looked like he was about to fight, which made the two black-clothed guards standing behind Diamond subconsciously assume a defensive posture.

For a while, the atmosphere in the restaurant was a little tense.

Sha Lai, who had a headache, really wanted to knock out this shameful guy Wright with a sword, and it depends on the occasion if he speaks without thinking!

But before her, someone moved first.

Shanks, who had been sitting next to her, bowed his head to study the menu, stood up before her, pushed Wright back to his seat, and said in his usual smiling tone: "Wright, calm down, let us meet him , must have discovered something, right Shalai?"

Can you stop throwing the blame on her at this time...

Received Wright's almost piercing stare, Xilai glared at Shanks who was watching the show, and then turned his gaze to Diamond. I explained myself.

"Last month, my uncle and I went to Snow Wind Island to buy ice wine."

"It was the time of the aurora, and Leiter came to us with a little girl named Ruby, and asked us to take them on a voyage at night to see the aurora on the sea."

"My uncle has always liked children, and immediately agreed to take them out on a small cargo ship at night."

"That night, while we were waiting for the aurora, we were bored casting a net to catch fish, but we didn't expect to catch a devil fruit instead of the fish."

Diamond said this, although he was still smiling, his brown pupils became more and more deep, which made people feel an inexplicable chill.

"At that time, I called back to the main ship and wanted to ask what kind of fruit it was. But I didn't expect that the call was tapped. When we returned to Fengxue Island early the next morning, we were confronted by Kaido's 'drought' Jack s attack."

"He snatched the elephant fruit in the form of a mammoth. Although he didn't specifically kill us, he didn't hold back during the snatching process."

"Leite died on the spot protecting Ruby, and my uncle was seriously injured trying to protect me. He died a month ago. However, considering the situation at that time, the residents of Fengxue Island implored me to conceal the deaths and injuries of the two of them. I also agree."

"But now that the voice fruit is available, it doesn't make much sense to hide it. The reason why I came here this time is to form an alliance with the red-haired pirates and kill Jack together."

In the beautifully decorated restaurant, the ginger lights shone on the silent faces, no one spoke, and the breathing of the people around them could be heard quietly.

Then, in the silence, Sha Lai heard the friction of the chair next to her, and the calm and powerful voice of the man whose breathing rhythm remained constant.

"Okay, I agree."

agree? ! ! !

Sarai turned sideways abruptly, looked up, and looked at the red-haired pirate who put away his smile and looked serious and determined.

For the first time, she felt that the warm yellow light could be so dazzling, casting a halo on the person standing under it, and those deep eyes were like the sun, emitting a dazzling and fiery light.

"It's fine if it's just a devil fruit, but no matter what the reason is, I will never forgive the guy who hurt my friend."
