[OP] The Story of Ming Shi

After everyone had dinner, Sora was going to wash the dishes habitually, but he was stopped by Sanji, saying that the dishes couldn't withstand him throwing and asked him to go to rest.So Sora followed Nami to the cabin in a daze.Nami specially arranged for Sora to rest in the upper cabin, and told him to call someone if he had something to do at night.

Bibi brought an ice pack: "Come on, Sola, take off the scarf."

Sola became vigilant and covered his head with his hands: "Well, it's okay if you don't take it off..."

"But wouldn't it be more convenient to take it off?" Bibi said.

"...It doesn't matter if it's tied up." Sola stubbornly protected the turban.

"You really asked too much." Nami said dissatisfied.

At this time, Sanji came over: "Speaking of which, Sora wears a headscarf at all times, even when he sleeps, he doesn't take it off. Is there any reason?"

"...Sanji-san is not, he never shows one eye, is there any reason?" Sora retorted.

Sanji: "...that's a feature."

"My headscarf is also featured!" Sora replied not to be outdone.

"Okay, okay, if you don't want to take it off, you can take it with you, but you wear this scarf all day long and don't change it, isn't it dirty?" Nami said with some disgust.

Sola replied flatly: "Oh, I have three identical ones."

Everyone: "..." Do you need it?

On the second day of his trip from Whiskey Peak, Thora still had a high fever.However, his sanity is still very clear, but he is more tired than usual.He didn't do anything that day, and lived in a muddle.

On the third day of his trip from Whiskey Peak, Thora woke up early in the morning feeling refreshed.In order to make up for the work he missed due to illness in the previous two days, he immediately got up and prepared breakfast.Sanji was taken aback when he entered the kitchen.

"Are you in good health? Is it okay to get up so early?" Sanji asked suspiciously.

"No problem, no problem!" Sola replied energetically, "I slept too much in the past two days. Although it is not as good as usual, it can be regarded as almost recovered."

"Really, don't force yourself too much." Sanji just told him and let him go.

Sora was not happy for long, because he felt dizzy and tired again after the meal.Sora leaned against the railing at the stern, muttering that this is all an illusion, the uncomfortable feeling should disappear quickly...

Zoro was preparing to exercise on the deck as usual. Seeing Sola's strange appearance, he walked over and patted him. Unexpectedly, Sola fell straight down like this.

"Look, I said it won't get better so quickly, you still work so diligently. Although you are a handyman, you still have to let them do chores occasionally, lest they make trouble everywhere in their free time." Na Metisola took his temperature and gave him another lesson.

Sora shrank her neck and whispered, "But that's obviously my job..."

"You..." Nami sighed, "It's not that we don't want you if you don't work. Resting well is the top priority now. Although working may give you a sense of accomplishment, your body is your capital, so don't lose more than you gain. ah!"

Feeling drowsy, Sola responded vaguely, closed his eyes, and fell asleep after a while.

When he woke up again, Sola felt that his whole body was sticky and sweaty, but his body was surprisingly relaxed.Mo Mo's forehead is cold, and it is said that after sweating, the fever will subside. It seems that this time it is really good.

The boat was very stable, and there were some sounds outside that were obviously impossible at sea.Sola went to the deck and saw that there were virgin forests all around, and it seemed that he had already landed in the small garden.But... the boat was a bit too quiet.

"Hey, everyone!" Sola yelled with all his might, but the only answer was a strange bird call.

No one is there.Where did they leave the ship?Sora felt strange, but it was useless to worry, now wait on the boat, maybe they will come back soon.

A gust of wind blew by, so La made a smart move, it is better to change clothes first, the body is relatively weak just after the fever subsides, it is not good to catch a cold in wet clothes.

Back in the cabin, Sora found his luggage, and found a set of clean clothes and a new scarf from inside.Sora went to the bathroom and wiped her body briefly, changed her clothes again, and carefully straightened her hair in front of the mirror.At this time, he caught a glimpse of a shadow flashing past from the corner of his eye.

Sola squatted down quickly, he wasn't sure what the shadow was, if it was a companion, why didn't he make a sound?He opened the door carefully, and quickly ran out. Beside this kind of primeval forest, it might be some kind of beast...

Sora was short and hid behind the door so he wouldn't be noticed. He listened carefully to the sound, and there were regular footsteps on the deck. This sound... it is impossible for a beast to make such a sound, so it is a human?Enemy or Companion?Sola listened again, went up the stairs, the sound was approaching!

It doesn't matter, there is only one person on the other side anyway, whether it is an enemy or a friend, he will not suffer a loss if he goes out to have a look!

Sora got out from behind the door and took a look, isn't this Sanji?

"Wow!" Sanji seemed to be frightened by Sora, "Why are you doing this, you came out suddenly... I didn't see you when I turned around before."

"I was in the bathroom just now, changing clothes." Sola smiled, "Why didn't you scream when you came back, I thought it was an enemy or a wild beast running up."

"I came back once before, and you were still sleeping...but the Nami-san and Usopp who were left behind are gone..." Sanji said, "Then I wanted to look around and heard your cry I'll be back right away."

"That's it..." Sora replied, and then he found that Sanji was staring at him intently, he was a little uncomfortable, "Sanji-san, why are you staring at me all the time?"

"No, that... it's the first time I saw Sora without a hood." Sanji said.

Sora felt the top of his head silently after a while, and touched his hair directly.

"Ah—" Sola exclaimed, he forgot to tie the turban!

Sanji was frightened by Sora again: "It's fine without wearing it...the hair is not ugly."

"Ah... ah..." Sora took a few steps back.

"What's wrong?" Sanji stepped forward.

"Wait, don't come over!" Sora backed back again and again, but didn't notice the railing behind him, bumped into it, and then fell down!

"Boom!" Don't doubt it, it's the sound of Sola's head falling to the ground.

Sanji hurried down: "Hey, are you okay?"

Sora lay there quietly without making a sound.

Passed out.Sanji came to such a conclusion after a simple inspection, did he hit his head?Sanji scratched his head in annoyance, what is this guy doing, he fainted again not long after he woke up... But why is Sora so nervous?It's just that he didn't wear a headscarf.Sanji squatted down and looked at Sora's head carefully.Well, there is no bald spot on the head, and there is no abnormality in the hair... Sanji stroked his chin, then looked at the back of Sora's head... Wait, there seems to be something incongruous?

Sanji finally found the so-called abnormality. There were some wrinkles behind Sora's ears. Looking carefully, he found that the piece of skin was turned up, and the pink tender meat and blood vessels under the skin could be seen.

As a chef, Sanji swallowed, of course he understood what it was, isn't it the gills of fish!

"San... Sanji-san..." Sanji heard Sora's faint voice.

"Ah, you're awake?" Sanji bounced off the ground, pretending to be calm, "Are you okay, it seems like you hit your head when you fell from the second floor."

"Huh? That's it, no wonder it hurts a little, but it's okay." Sora shook his head silently, "But why did I fall from the second floor? I changed my clothes, and then... Huh? Then what happened?"

"This... I don't know, you suddenly..." Sanji replied, it turned out that he didn't remember.

"Where did everyone go, there was no one on board." Sola asked again.

"This...adventure to go on an adventure, looking for ingredients to find ingredients...Nami-san and Usopp who were supposed to be on the boat are missing..." Sanji replied.

"... Isn't that a bit bad? It's not surprising that there are fierce beasts in this kind of place, let's go find it." Sora paced back and forth, and he suddenly said to Sanji, "Sanji-san, why don't you publish Let’s take a look, you’re a little strange. It seems like you’re hesitant to say something...do you have anything else to say?”

"Uh, this..." Sanji took a deep breath, "Sora, do you... have gills?"

"...Eh?" Sora was stunned, and he said, "Sanji-san, I didn't hear what you just said..."

"That's... the thing behind your ear, is it the gills?"

Sora touched his head, he didn't wear a headscarf... just now he fell down from the second floor and fainted, Sanji came to see his condition, and then he saw... saw...

Sora turned and ran, shut the door of the cabin heavily, and rushed into the bathroom to tie a turban for herself.He stared blankly at himself in the mirror, then squatted down with his head in his arms.It's over, it's over...

Sanji stood there for a while, he took out a cigarette and lit it, and took a deep puff, protruding a cloud of smoke.

After finishing a cigarette, Sola still didn't come out.Sanji cut it, put out the cigarette butt, opened the door of the cabin and walked in.

"Sora?" Sanji called out, but no one answered.

"Tsk, troublesome brat."

Sanji searched the storage room, the sleeping place, the kitchen, under the table, the bathroom... there was no sign of Sora.

"Here it is." Sanji knocked on the bathroom door, "Hey, Sora, are you in there?"

There was no answer from inside, Sanji apologized in his heart, and kicked the door open with a flying kick.

Sure enough, Sola was inside, he was in the corner of the bathroom, his head was wrapped with a shower curtain, his shoulders were trembling slightly.

"Sora!" Sanji pulled open the shower curtain, and Sora buried his head even lower.Sanji pulls him up, only to see that he has a lot of tears and snot in his nose.

Unexpectedly... Sora actually cried.

Sora didn't cry out loud, he just bit his lip and cried silently.

Sanji said, "Why are you crying!"

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo-" Sora burst into tears after Sanji spoke.

"Don't cry!" Sanji yelled, and Sora stopped immediately, returning to the state of not crying aloud before.

"...Okay, don't you just have gills? No wonder you always boast about your good swimming skills and the fact that you can breathe in the water, which is very convenient." Sanji dragged Sora to the deck to blow the wind, talking as if chatting .

He found a place to sit down, and patted the place beside him to signal Sora to sit down too.

Sora hesitated for a moment, but sat down anyway.

"By the way, you showed so much attention to murlocs in Cocoyasi Village before... because you are also murlocs?" Sanji said again. Originally, he just wanted to talk and didn't expect the other party to answer.

"Half." Unexpectedly, Sora said.

Sanji was a little surprised, he asked, "How about this?"

"My father is a human being, but I don't seem to be..." Sola wiped the tears from his face, "So I think, my mother is a murloc...probably."

"Then... how much does Sora look like his father? After all, compared to the murloc, you basically look like a human, minus the gills." Sanji said.

Sora nodded, he looked at Sanji: "Sanji-san, do you want to drive me off the boat?"

"Eh, why?"

"...I'm not human." Sora bowed his head.

"I don't care." Sanji looked up at the sky.

"Really?" Sora's eyes sparkled, "Then, keep it a secret for me!"

"...I don't think there is a need to keep it secret, right? Just tell everyone!" Sanji said, "Look, there aren't many monsters among us? The captain is a devil fruit user."

"But..." Sora frowned, "Nami-san..."

"Ah, Nami-san should understand, she is not the kind of narrow-minded person." Sanji said.

"...But Nami-san is scary when she gets angry. And in case...everyone doesn't accept me..." Sora lowered her head and whispered, "I'm afraid."

Sanji raised his forehead: "Okay, okay, I'll keep it secret for you."

"Great, I knew Sanji-san was the best!" Sora threw himself into Sanji's arms.

"Hey! Don't cling to me, my arms are only for ladies!"

Sora was pitifully tearful.

Sanji lost.

"Originally, I was suitable for traveling with my father, looking for the sea temple. But when I was three or four years old, I was separated from my father at sea. I don't remember what he looks like. Then I met my uncle and lived together. He Tell me that I must never reveal my secrets. Because most human beings cannot accept races different from themselves... Then my uncle fell ill and passed away, so I went to sea... Then I met everyone, I am very happy, and have companions. Then Wait a while, wait a while, I... I'll tell everyone my secret." Sora began to say something about himself.

Sanji just listened, smoking silently.

"Sanji-san, you look like my father." Sora said suddenly.

"...What a resemblance!" Sanji shouted in his heart, I'm only 19 years old! 19 years old!

"Lots of places! Blonde hair, always smells like tobacco..."

"... Isn't it only two o'clock?"

"In short, it feels very similar...Of course, except when you are a nymphomaniac."

"I want you to take care of it!"
