[One Piece] Courage to Dream

Chapter [-] Roy, number one!

"Sodane, that's the dream..." After listening to Lulu's explanation, Luffy smiled slightly, and looked at Roy in the corner with extremely energetic eyes.

At this time, Luffy was so different from the way he knew pirates, Lulu asked in a daze, "Do you...have dreams too?"

"Of course!" Luffy said with indescribable confidence in his smile, "I want to find one piece, the ultimate treasure that all pirates dream of—to become the King of Pirates!"

Become One Piece...

That was a dream many times more difficult than theirs.

Lulu thought that she and Roy had chosen a very difficult path, but this young man chose a future that was even more difficult to touch than theirs.

Even so, Lulu still couldn't find any doubts on Luffy's face, that flamboyant smile, calm and confident, as if no matter how difficult and dangerous the future might be, he would overcome all difficulties and stride forward.

"It's not just me, they all have their own goals." Luffy turned to everyone, with the same undoubted trust in his eyes.

Lulu looked at Luffy, and at the people who smiled at her, her heart was greatly shaken.

"Okay! The designated tea time is coming soon. Most of the contestants have finished their works, and the rest of the contestants must hurry up!" the host said.

Time passed quietly, and on the field, the experienced Bill had already mastered the task with ease.

I don't know what happened to that kid... Bill turned his gaze to an inconspicuous corner.

Roy has not yet finished making the rock tea, and the fine sweat seeps from his cheeks. It can be seen that even in the second competition, he is still unable to relieve the huge pressure.

You still have time!Bill made a judgment call.

But at this moment, Roy suddenly shook his hand, and the tea set suddenly slipped from his hand, and with a splash, the crystal yellow tea was thrown everywhere in an instant.

"Ah!!" the children cried out.

Roy's hands froze in place, staring blankly at the overturned tea set.

Three years ago, he lost to pressure.

And now, the same scene... actually happened again!

It's a pity... Bill sighed. The answer is obvious. There is not enough time left. Roy will definitely not be able to hand in a satisfactory score in this tea festival.

"Let's count down together!" The host took the lead, and the audience in the venue were encouraged to shout, "10, 9, 8,..."

During the countdown, Roy took a deep breath and looked up at the high glass ceiling.

In Qiqi's "1" at the end, some contestants beat their chests and feet, feeling sad and indignant for not being able to complete the work, while some contestants shook their heads secretly, thinking that they could not get the ideal score.

The first schedule ended, and some players began to choose to leave.

Roy stood there quietly, yes, this time, it was almost exactly the same as three years ago.

——I, after all, still failed to overcome the pressure.

"Roy looks... not quite right."

Nami was a little worried.

Sauron nodded: "Well, after all, it's the same situation as it was three years ago."

It can't go on like this...

While they were talking, Lulu got up and ran along the steps to the railing of the stand. She leaned out and shouted to Roy: "Brother——!!"

In the huge auditorium, the girl's voice quickly disappeared into the crowd.

Roy can't hear...

Lulu stared sadly at the young man in the arena. All these years of hard work... seemed to have vanished in an instant. Tears began to fill her eyes bit by bit, and she was on the verge of falling.

"Your voice... seems a bit lacking."

Luffy's sunny voice came from behind him, as if releasing energy that could give people hope all the time.

"...!" This unexpected voice made Lulu's eyes widen in surprise.

"Let's get involved too!" Xiuya said, and she had already stood beside her.

Lulu turned her head in disbelief, seeing everyone approaching her one by one, and the number of people around her gradually increased, she suddenly felt an inexplicable force gushing out like a spring, warmly occupying her heart.

"se——no~"

Following Luffy's preparation, the high-pitched voice soared into the sky.

"Roy --!! Number one!!!"
