[Comprehensive] Fire Boxer's Little Chef

Alabasta has many strange creatures that cannot be seen in ordinary places. For example, this group appeared in front of them and prevented them from passing. They are cute in appearance but very powerful. They have the appearance of a turtle shell but are related to seals. Somewhat similar mysterious creatures.

"This is Kung Fu Manatee."

Wayne looked at it carefully for a moment, and then recalled in his mind that he had seen an introduction about this creature in a book.

"Oh, can I eat that?"

Wayne didn't speak loudly, so only Ace, who was standing next to him and closest to him, heard his words, turned his head to look at his partner, and Ace asked Ace with a volume that only two people could hear.

"..."

Looking at the extremely cute appearance of the group of kung fu manatees, combined with the questions asked by Ace, Wayne couldn't help feeling a little ashamed. Most people don't have the heart to say something when they see such lively and lovely things. The first thought shouldn't be to ask how they taste.

Ace's brain circuit has a different structure from that of ordinary people.

Even though he was a little speechless by Ace's question, Wayne still told him truthfully what he knew about these kung fu manatees.

"The catch level of Kung Fu manatees is 3, which is not difficult to catch. Although they look cute, the meat is hard and bitter, making it difficult to swallow. Moreover, as the name suggests, these Kung Fu manatees are very powerful. Not theirs, but on the other hand, if someone can defeat them, the kung fu manatees will worship that person as their teacher..."

"But Luffy has knocked them all down."

Before Wayne finished speaking, he heard Ace gloating and pointing at the land ahead, where Luffy, wearing a red robe, stood alone among a group of kung fu manatees, and those kung fu manatees who were originally aggressive were now Like a group of cute little pets, they followed Luffy docilely.

"..."

Under the adjustment of Chopper, the group of kung fu manatees who followed closely behind Luffy and refused to leave finally gave up following Luffy. Of course, the Straw Hat Pirates also lost a lot of food because of this. The blond chef of the Straw Hat Pirates Naturally, it was inevitable that Luffy would be severely reprimanded.

Saying goodbye to the Kung Fu Manatee, the group set off for the desert.

As soon as one foot stepped into the desert, Wayne felt a heat wave blowing towards his face. The dry and hot breath in the air seemed to be materialized, and the flow of the heat wave in the air could be vaguely seen.

Wayne moved the hood of his robe forward to prevent the sun from being too strong in the desert on his face and causing sunburn.

Not long after, Weiwei, who was walking in the front, stopped, and everyone paused. A city appeared in front of them.

It seems a bit inappropriate to use the city to describe the things that appeared in front of them, because what appeared in front of them was nothing but ruins.

Half of the collapsed houses were buried in the golden sand. On the high and low sand dunes, there were several dead trees that could not be seen from their original appearance. Apart from the yellow sand, there were messy ruins all around. , Exuding a sense of desolation, without a trace of life.

"This is Arumalu, once known as the Green City."

Weiwei's voice sounded heavy, but perhaps more of it was anger and sadness about the status quo.

The treasure land once known as the Green City is now just a ruin in the desert, eroded by the wind and buried in the yellow sand, and it is no longer as prosperous as it was then.

The boundless yellow sand has witnessed the rise and fall of the city, accompanied by the whistling wind in the ears, there is a kind of helpless sadness forcibly.

A gust of wind suddenly blew from a distance, kicking up countless yellow sand on the ground, and approaching head-on. Just as Wayne was about to cover his face with a turban, he suddenly found a back in front of him. Ace, who was walking side by side with him, did not know when. Standing in front of him, blocking the wind and sand for him.

"Woooo..."

There was a strange sound mixed in the strong wind, which seemed to be the mournful cry of human beings, spreading to the ears from all directions.

The crew of the Straw Hat Pirates all thought that the enemy army was chasing them, and they put on a look of guard.

"It's just the sound of the wind. There is no danger. It's just that the wind blowing across the street resonates with the buildings on the street."

Only Ace was calm and composed, with his back to Wayne, so Wayne couldn't see Ace's expression clearly at this time, but judging from his rare and heavy tone, Wayne guessed that Ace's expression at this time should be incomparable. Seriously, I guess I was shocked by the current situation of this green city.

"This city, like this Arumalu, is crying."

Weiwei's voice already revealed a lot of crying, with a strong meaning of grief, and the atmosphere at the scene immediately became heavy, and even Lu Fei, who had always been restless, had a straight face at this time, Say nothing.

"Crocodile, you have really done too much to this country."

Not far away, there was a corpse lying in the yellow sand. The flesh and blood had been eroded by the wind and sand, leaving only an empty bone. After Ace finished saying this, he walked to the side of the bone and scratched the yellow sand on the ground with both hands. It was as if he wanted to dig a hole for this bone to have a safe place to live.

Luffy, who couldn't hide his anger, ran away early in the morning and smashed up an abandoned building to vent his inner anger.Weiwei raised her head, gave Ace a grateful look, and then, together with Ace, worked hard to dig a hole in the ground.

Wayne stood behind Ace without saying a word, taking a panoramic view of all this, slowly closing his eyes as if he couldn't bear it, and when he opened them again, his eyes had returned to clarity.

This city, this country, and even the people of this country will finally be saved by the straw hat boy in red and his companions.

He didn't need to worry about it, what he cared about was clear from the beginning.

Turning his gaze to Ace who was digging a hole in the sand, Wayne's eyes quickly flashed a gloomy look.

What he wanted to save, from beginning to end, was only the young man in front of him, that's all.

The vast and almost endless desert becomes hotter and drier the further you go inland.

Chopper, whose whole body was covered with thick fur, couldn't hold it up first, so he could only put it on a wooden board, and Sauron dragged him forward.

Although the others also looked listless in the heat, they were not without strength. Only Luffy poked a wooden stick, walking on the sand dunes with one foot deep and one foot shallow, and shouted feebly at the same time. .

Wayne, who seldom moved forward in such a severe environment, was also a little exhausted at this time, his head was groggy, and his vision became a little blurred. He only relied on that sliver of willpower to move forward.

He took out the prepared water bag from his backpack and took a sip into his mouth. The cold liquid traveled along his throat to his stomach, not only quenching his thirst, but also clearing his drowsy brain Not a lot.

"Give."

Wayne handed the water bag to Ace who was beside him, and Ace took the water bag directly, uncorked the bottle, and took a sip.It seemed that even someone as physically strong as Ace couldn't stand the harsh climate of this desert.

Luffy seemed to be arguing with the people in front of him for some unknown reason, which added a lot of noise to the already stuffy atmosphere for no reason.

Adhering to the principle of "calmness and coolness", Wayne ignored the source of the noise and just followed behind everyone, walking slowly.

The road to Juba is still long.

The desert is very hot during the day because there is no shade, but at night the temperature drops to several degrees below zero, which is very cold.

Although Wayne already knew that the temperature difference between day and night in the desert is very large, but his backpack can't hold cold-resistant clothes, and walking in the desert, bringing heavy cold-resistant clothes will only be a burden, so Before coming here, he did not buy cold-resistant clothes.

So now he can only move his body as close to the fire as possible, and curl up into a ball to reduce the loss of heat in his body.

He raised his head and glanced at the teenagers who were sitting next to the opposite fire and squeezed Chopper in the middle, and gathered together to keep warm. Inexplicably, he felt a sense of envy in his heart. With so much fur on Chopper's body, he would definitely be very warm. .

A gust of cold wind blew, and the thin robes couldn't hide the biting cold of the desert night at all. Wayne shrunk his body even tighter, hoping to gain some warmth in this way.

And at this moment, Wayne suddenly felt something extra on his back, with a touch of warmth, and his body that was shivering with cold should have recovered a lot of warmth from this thing.

"Ace?"

Wayne turned his head and looked at Ace who was sitting beside him. At this time, Ace had no clothes covering his upper body, and what was draped behind Wayne was the black robe that Wayne prepared for Ace during the day.

"I ate Shao Shao fruit, so I am not afraid of the cold."

Ace turned his head and showed a bright smile at Wayne. In the bitingly cold desert night, Ace's smile seemed to carry a warmth, and the little chill left on Wayne's body was instantly wiped out. Evicted cleanly.

"Thanks."

Wayne nodded to Ace, and did not reject Ace's kindness, and accepted the black robe with pleasure.As Ace said, after eating the Shaoshao fruit, his body will automatically warm itself without the need for external objects to keep warm. It can be said that Ace's physique is cold-proof, not to mention that it is only a few degrees below zero. Even in the desert night in the extreme cold, it is estimated that Ace will not feel a little bit of cold.

The few people at the fire on the opposite side still made a fuss, and the slightly noisy voices during the day added a lot of lively atmosphere to this desolate and cold desert at night.

"Were you startled?"

There was a sound of footsteps from the opposite side, and then a female voice sounded in front of the two of them.

Wayne raised his head and saw a blue-haired girl in a dark blue robe who came to the two of them at some point, looking at Ace with a gentle smile on his face.

"Luffy, I was shocked when I saw him for the first time. Luffy doesn't look like a captain at all. Originally, the captain of the pirate ship should be respected by the crew, but for example, what happened during the day It’s just a matter of drinking some water and it became like that, but, after being with him for a long time, I gradually understand.”

Weiwei turned her gaze to the direction where Luffy was, and said a lot of her feelings about Luffy like a sigh.

"That's Luffy's style. It's been like that since he was a kid. Although he's virtuous, he always has a lot of friends around him. My brother has an incredible charm."

Ace raised his head and looked in the direction of Luffy. The few people who had been fighting together had already curled up and fell asleep. Under the light of the fire, their sleeping faces looked extraordinarily soft.

"What, so you already knew."

"Because I've known him for so long."

Ace looked at Luffy with soft eyes, as if he was remembering something. .

"But thank you anyway, you are worried whether I will care."

"Well, but it seems that I think too much."

The conversation between the two went very smoothly, and it can even be described as joyful. Both of them had shallow smiles on their faces, and then they looked at the vast and bright starry sky above the desert together in a tacit understanding.

We are all under the same starry sky.

Wei En, who had been listening silently from the sidelines, watched the two of them looking up at the starry sky together, and inexplicably said this sentence in his heart.

The organ on the left side of the chest felt a little bit of bitterness inexplicably at this time, like a mass of thick ink splashed on rice paper, slowly smudged on the heart, and slowly spread to every part of the body. Department of nerves.

"The princess of Alabasta is really extraordinary."

After Weiwei left, Ace sat next to Wayne and sighed softly, with a hint of appreciation in his tone.

"You like this type of girl?"

Wayne didn't answer the call, didn't even look at Ace, and threw out such a question inexplicably.

"Well, probably, I admire this kind of girl..."

Ace hesitated for a while, as if caught in some kind of problem, and then answered somewhat vaguely.

"..."

Wayne didn't speak, but the sour feeling on his left chest seemed to be deepening.

"Beautiful, smart, and extraordinary, she will definitely achieve great things in the future, and it will be just around the corner to take over Alabasta. This kind of girl is rare."

As if he didn't notice something wrong with Wayne, Ace continued to talk about Vivi's strengths.

"..."

Wayne took off the black robe that was draped over his shoulders silently, and put it back in Ace's hands. When he met Ace's puzzled eyes, Wayne explained indifferently: "It's late at night. Lu Zhong, the two girls over there need this dress more than me."

Pointing in the direction of Nami and Weiwei, the two girls are huddled together in the tent at this time, seeming to keep each other warm, but the desert cold at night is too severe, even with the tent covered, the two girls still I was shivering with cold.

Ace glanced at the black robe in his hand, then glanced at Wayne, who looked calm and calm, with hesitation in his eyes, and finally walked towards Nami and Weiwei as if he had made up his mind.

The tent the two were in was a certain distance away from where Wayne was. Wayne didn't know what Ace had said to the two of them, but he could only see Vivi's beautiful face showing a smile after taking the black robe from Ace's hand. A gentle smile appeared, as if thanking him.

The inexplicable bitterness seemed to have eroded into the whole body, and even the inside of the mouth was slightly bitter.

Wayne approached the fire, curled himself into a ball, trying to prevent the loss of body heat.

The desert at night was indeed icy cold, but what made Wayne feel cold was not only the abnormally low temperature of a few degrees below zero in the desert.

The heat in the body seems to be constantly losing, even if it is close to the fire, it seems that it cannot resist the biting cold in the desert.

And at this moment, Wayne felt his back suddenly surrounded by a mass of fiery breath. The familiar temperature passed through his back and directly transmitted to all the nerves in his body.

Looking down at the hands around his neck, Wayne was stunned for a moment.

"I'm a bit cold, but I have no clothes, so I can only wrong you, Wayne, to help me warm up."

Ace stared straight at Wayne who turned his head to the side and looked at him with a confused face, the corner of his mouth curled up in a brilliant arc, and there was a lot of lightness in his tone.

The warmth from the back gradually spread to the frozen nerves all over the body, and the unspeakable bitterness in the heart has been replaced by another emotion at some point, with a slight warmth.

The roots behind the ears seemed to start to feel hot again, and it seemed to have a tendency to spread to the face. The corner of the mouth, which had been in a straight line, showed an extremely shallow arc, and the somewhat cold face became a little softer because of this smile.

"Humph……"

Still humming softly, Wayne didn't break free from Ace's embrace, and let him wrap himself around him, feeling the warmth from him.

Wayne slowly closed his eyes and gradually fell asleep.

It doesn't seem to be that cold anymore.

Under the vast and bright starry sky, countless stars radiate a cool brilliance in the dark blue night sky.

We are under the same starry sky, with the same thoughts.

I admire that kind of girl with extraordinary bearing, but appreciation does not mean liking.

Ace looked up at the bright starry sky above his head, and tightened his embrace of the person in his arms.

There was a faint scent of lemon rippling from the tip of his nose, the smell he was most familiar with and his favorite.
