Rain

"Captain." I strode forward empty-handed in the rain, looked straight ahead, let the rain hit my cheeks and fell into my eyes, and said calmly, "Eric, can you help me." vessel.

"He'll help." Ace gave a very simple answer, but it reassured me.My pace is obviously much faster than when I came here, but I still wish I could grow my wings and fly back to the boat.The rain wet the moss under my feet, and the road became obviously difficult, but I didn't care, and almost ran wildly in the second half.The boot stepped into the puddle, almost lost his balance and fell, but was supported by Ace on the side in time: "Be careful."

"Thank you." I wiped the rainwater from my face and continued to hurry.I finally ran back to the boat, I didn't care about my panting, rushed into the cabin, and shouted: "Eric!"

"Rain?" Eric, who was sitting upright just now, saw me standing up immediately, the doubts on his face were diluted by noticing my abnormality, and his face became serious, "What's wrong?"

"Eric, can you do it... Huh..." I strode over, squeezed his shoulders with wet hands, adjusted my breathing rate, and finally finished the sentence completely, with an urgent tone, " Let this rain stop?"

Eric's fighting method is very unique, because he understands the climate, so he can use the special powder he prepared and some machinery to affect the humidity, temperature and other conditions around him to create various deadly climates.After the enemy gave you a big smile, can you realize that you have actually been sucked into a violent super tornado?

If we understand the climate, then we can find out the cause of this decade-long rain and how to stop it?That's what this guy does!

"Captain, have you also noticed?" Eric's expression became serious, his face was still smiling, but his eyes were no longer relaxed, and he didn't call Ace as usual, but chose this name to represent responsibility and titles of power, "the climate's injustice here

often? "

"To put it simply, there are three types of natural rainfall. Convective rain, orographic rain, and frontal rain." Eric stretched out three fingers and explained to us, with a rare smile in his eyes. "The most common type of rain is convective rain at sea." , is caused by the impact of cold air and hot air on each other, and the water droplets formed are often accompanied by thunderstorms, strong winds, and hail. But the temperature here does not meet the standard of convective rain. There are no mountains on this island, so it is definitely not terrain rain The frontal rain is caused by the spiraling hot and cold airflow, the rain period is long, but the moving speed is fast, judging by the wind speed here, it is impossible to stay in place like the rain cloud here."

I continued to put one hand on Eric's shoulder in a daze, listening to his explanation.

"You mean..." Ace looked at the navigator calmly, "This is not natural rainfall."

"That's right." Eric answered quickly, took out a small notebook in his trouser pocket, turned to the middle page, and showed us.The handwriting on it messily records some disorganized data, angles, sizes, temperatures, percentages, etc., and the ink marks are somewhat blurred, and it can be seen that it has been wet.Eric continued with a rare seriousness, "I was bored and made some observations when I was on the boat. It is absolutely impossible for normal dark clouds to be like this. Even if this is a great channel, it is unreasonable."

"I believe in my observation results." Eric closed his little notebook, put it back in his pocket, his eyes were calm, "This rain is man-made. Although I don't know if it is a dance fan or a similar substitute, but There is no doubt about that.”

I flashed in front of my eyes the little Jack's condemnation of the rain, the picture he drew because he had never seen the sun, the picture of the uncle of the shopkeeper wiping his back to the child, putting on his glasses, and smiling, and the uncle of the shopkeeper saying here It is the expression of our buried bones... Are these pains caused by humans?How can someone be so selfish...

"Let's put it this way..." Mr. Sniper, who had just entered the city and came back through the heavy rain, just heard most of the explanation, figured out the situation, put down his cloak, touched his chin, thoughtful, "I was at the bar before. When drinking, the navy comes to collect the "rain drive tax" in a serious manner, and the price is quite high."

I don't know if it's an illusion, but after hearing the word navy, Eric's eyes flashed with inexplicable fluctuations, but they were quickly covered under the calm surface.

"Navy..." Shan Leng, who had been standing against the bulkhead, lowered his eyes and said calmly, "This kind of behavior is not surprising." He lightly stroked the Taidao beside him, his eyes were terrifyingly sharp.

I was stunned, and the navy was involved, and this matter was complicated... We all understood what he meant and looked at Ace.In this case, if we want to find out the origin of the rain and stop the rain, the Spades Pirates must confront the navy.

This is unnecessary trouble...

"Navy, it's been a long time." Ace seemed to be emotional, without the slightest bit of fear and flinching. He gave the order, with a light hook on his mouth, and his tone was arrogant, "Let's make a big fuss."

My pupils dilated slightly, and I wanted to stop it, but nothing came out.That's it, looking for Shanghai Navy?It is obviously unnecessary... If I hadn't meddled in my own business...

"The days are so boring these days." Mr. Swordsman's eyes were like unsheathed sharp knives, and the corner of his mouth curled up in a cruel arc, revealing pleasure, "Finally, I have something to do again."

"It's so troublesome." Although Wein, who loves to play tricks on weekdays, complained, he was like an idiot captain, his eyes were shining, and he had already touched his gun, "Hehe, directly attack the navy's headquarters on this island? ?” The sniper has short light blue hair and always carries a few guns with him, and puts bullets and gunpowder in his pockets.His coat had so many pockets that it was difficult for him to remember which was which.

Eric suddenly smiled brightly, looking extremely awkward in this narrow cabin, pointing in one direction, and said in a playful tone: "Well, according to my observation, the starting position of the dark cloud is over there." We looked along The smiles on the men's faces widened slightly, and they were ready to move, because that was the location of the naval headquarters on the island.

"Rain, you and Wally stay to watch the ship." Ace glanced at me, and issued an order as the captain, which cannot be refused or disobeyed.

"Yes." After agreeing, I lowered my head angrily, looked at my toes, and gritted my teeth.If I can be stronger, if I can not be so weak, I can solve this matter by myself and complete the agreement by myself without involving everyone...

This is really irresponsible behavior... If I can't do it myself, why would I make an appointment with that child....

What's the point if the agreement is to exchange for friends, pain or even death of companions!I suddenly raised my head and looked at Ace:

"Captain, forget it! Please let me go!" It might not be possible to make a big fuss like they did, but Mingzhe can still protect himself and explore the situation.

"Rain, you are a member of the Spades Pirates." Ace's voice suddenly sounded serious.I saw that pair of black eyes were extremely clear, and there was no intention of fooling him. His thin lips opened and closed, and he said something that I will never forget in my life, "We are companions. Your business is our business."

"Besides, I don't like this kind of rain." Ace lowered his orange cowboy hat, "What rain brings should not be pain."

"So," the captain ordered, and walked out of the cabin first, into the rain outside the cabin, "Let's go."

"Rain, what are you thinking..." Eric leaned forward and rubbed my head, smiling brightly, "Besides, we are pirates, of course we have to fight against the navy, don't you trust us?"

Shanzhou was faintly excited, like a beast released from a cage, ready to show its minions, speaking as always

Short and to the point: "It will be soon."

It was the first time that Wayne took the initiative to talk to me. I don't know if it was because of nervousness or something. He stuttered a bit, but the meaning was easy to understand: "Rain, leave it to us, don't worry."

"That's it..." The ship doctor finally opened his mouth, with a teasing smile on the corner of his mouth, and his plain glasses shone strangely, "Don't you still have me to accompany you?"

I suddenly woke up from the emotion just now, my expression was stiff, and I had the urge to cry.I... I'd better go to the naval base with them... Mr. Ship Doctor, is it so fun to torture me... You choose to torture my spirit because you can't torture my body, right...

In all fairness, Mr. Ship Doctor is a weirdo.He is obviously very young and has good eyesight, but he likes to wear plain glasses, saying: "This way you have a temperament." At the same time, bad ship doctors like to test medicine on the crew, and then watch them fall to the ground, and then say slowly: " I'm sorry, I took the wrong medicine." It's just that the wickedness flickering in the eyes is too obvious, and the tone has no sincerity...

He has a lot of medicines, medicines that make people's whole body itch like hell, medicines that make people immobile, medicines that make a certain part of a man lose its effect...every time he tries medicines, after someone accidentally offends him, so everyone basically The face of the conversation changed, and they avoided him, including the suspected nervous captain.Not to mention his precise scalpel and enough anesthesia to stun a giant sea king.

But it seems that because of my status as a cook, he never used drugs on me, never.Offending the cook at sea can only lead to death.I recently realized that misfortune comes from the mouth, and all nightmares started from that time...

I casually asked while reading a book at Mr. Ship Doctor: "Mr. Ship Doctor, do you believe in the existence of the soul?"

He pushed his plain glasses and gave an unclear number: "21 grams."

"Huh?" I looked at Mr. Gray in confusion, and asked for an answer with a sincere expression.

"23 years ago, Dr. McGregor, the executioner, conducted an experiment." Mr. Gray's white robes were as spotless as ever, and he sat on a chair, nimbly turning a silver-white scalpel with his fingers, and his tone was light "He put dying people on precise scales and recorded their weight before and after death. Then he was surprised to find a small difference..."

The ship doctor watched my reaction with great interest. The silver knife in his hand refracted the light, and it would dazzle in my eyes from time to time. value, what he called "the weight of the soul."

"That is to say, there are theories in academia that support the existence of the soul." I nodded, expressing my understanding, and then wanted to continue to explore in depth, so I couldn't help asking, "Why is he called the executioner?" Doctors shouldn't help the wounded and save the dying does it exist?

The ship doctor looked at me with a half-smile, and his tone was soft, like a lover’s murmur, but the message he conveyed made me feel cold all over: "Do you think it is easy to find people who are dying? His experimental subjects are all in person. Injured with hands..."

My face is distorted a bit, this is a completely perverted murderer!

"In order to ensure the accuracy of the conclusion, how can one experiment be enough..." The ship doctor stopped turning his scalpel at some point, and the clean and bright blade faithfully reflected the smile on his elegant face, as if from hell Fatal signs, "men, women, old people, children, babies, youths, girls, villains, beggars, nobles, Christians, murlocs..."

My smile became forced, and the ship doctor seemed to feel the same, so he slightly raised his eyebrows, and said in an understated tone: "I was arrested and executed by the government 13 years ago, and all the research results and ten-year notes were destroyed."

"Then how did you..." I looked at the ship doctor suspiciously, seriously suspecting that this was something he just made up to lie to me.If you want to compare, the credibility of Mr. Navigator becoming a vegetarian is higher than his integrity.

"Oh, does Rain know about the existence of the buffer zone?" The ship doctor smiled gracefully, as if he was talking about something serious, "If the navy and the government are white, and the pirates and robbers are black, then there is both good and evil. It's just an indistinct transition in the middle

color. "

The first time I heard this statement, I just looked at the ship doctor with twinkling eyes and listened to his explanation.

"Blurring good and evil, blurring the bottom line of moral boundaries, different from person to person, doing whatever you want." The ship doctor smiled evilly for no reason, and made people feel cold behind his back, "The executioner, the sickle, the red claw, the general, the mother-in-law, the son of the devil, Betrayer, custodian...these are all titles we are familiar with. The government can only destroy what is on the surface, but of course they can do nothing about what is in the black market and among us." I faced a self-proclaimed gray area Hearing those nicknames that made people feel cold, he decided to retreat decisively, nodded and smiled: "Mr. Ship Doctor, I won't disturb you any more. Let's go first." Then I ran away in a flash...

During that time, the ship doctor kept making people creepy when he saw me, the smile he only had when he was whole.From that day on, whenever he had the opportunity, he would casually refer to this group of people like telling a bedtime story, and some of their shocking behaviors.

Hearing that, I was filled with guilt in my heart, but I didn't dare to run away from the ship doctor who was full of aura, because the result of running away would be even more miserable.Holding a pillow and listening, is it really a buffer?They are obviously a group of tough perverts and lunatics that neither side can control!

Watching everyone leave, I ignored the ship doctor and walked into the kitchen, and began to focus on picking off the head and tail of the ginger and cutting it into thin slices.

"I want to make ginger soup." The ship's doctor leaned against the door frame of the kitchen, watching my skillful movements thoughtfully, "Ginger soup can sweat, reduce inflammation, and control blood pressure." If you are not by my side, my blood pressure will drop It will automatically go down...thanks...

There seemed to be a muffled explosion in the distance.I threw ginger slices into the cauldron and started to cook. Looking up at the glass window, I was not surprised to see the sky-rocketing fire not far away, and heard the faint howling of ghosts and wolves brought by the wind.

"It's very lively..." I don't know if it's my illusion or what, but the voice of the ship doctor seems a little bitter?My eyes twitched and I looked up, just in time to meet his soft smile, "I originally wanted to experiment with my own medicine..."

I was wrong, I was wrong, I was really wrong, big brother, I shouldn’t be so useless, I should have sent someone to help me even watch the boat... and

It's not good to send anyone, why did you stay... For the safety of my own life, I sincerely apologize with a low eyebrow and a pleasing eye:

"I'm sorry, I was wrong." It's a man who can bend and stretch, and I'm just a little girl.

"How about it." The boat doctor raised his eyebrows and looked at me happily, "I'll tell you a story..."

"Ah!" I interrupted the ship doctor with a scream, rushed to the stove, and lifted the lid of the pot, "I didn't even notice that the water was boiling!" Then I vigorously stirred the soup with an iron spoon, Make the sound of rushing water.

"Then..." The ship doctor continued to look at my reaction, with playful arcs on the corners of his mouth.

"Oops—!" I put on my gloves, bent down to open the oven, and took out the lasagna, which hit the oven wall halfway, making a bang bang sound, "It almost burned!"

"One day..." There was no irritation caused by the interruption in the ship doctor's voice, but there was a playful light in his eyes, but I couldn't take care of it because I was frightened.

"Mamma Mia!" I turned up the fire, poured oil on it, and threw in the crackling vegetables that contained moisture, almost covering up all the sounds. I yelled, "I almost forgot to cook!"

I was finally exhausted and put all the food on the table under the "care" of the ship's doctor, and the voices and footsteps of those guys came from the deck.They walked in, sat down, and started eating.

There were no obvious scars, and he seemed a little embarrassed, but his face was full of satisfaction and pride.I breathed a sigh of relief.

Wein was eating, shining like a lotus flower, and described himself and everyone's glorious figure to the ship doctor and me with a rosy face, dancing and dancing: "After we went in, Shan found a huge dark cloud machine in a hidden place, and there was a steady stream of clouds. They are creating dark clouds, and using the abundant rain on this island to provide conditions for rainfall. The officer heard the sound and came in, but a scum who only collects money, was frightened when he saw us. So Ace One punch and nearly knocked that machine out."

"Almost?" I was a good listener at the beginning, quietly eating my dinner, hearing something wrong, raising my eyebrows to ask questions, a little curious.

"Cough cough." Eric was as straight as ever, just smiling like a big boy with a nympho, and seemed a little embarrassed, "You know I study climate, and I'm a little greedy when I see this kind of machine. I want to study it. So..." In short, you rushed up to block Ace's blow, didn't you... I looked at his clothes with faint scorched black marks, the corners of my mouth twitched, but my face involuntarily twitched. smiled.this idiot...

"But it was destroyed after I finished researching it. So are the blueprints." Eric wiped the sweat from his forehead and smiled, "It's so broken that it can't be broken any more." Shan, who was eating dinner calmly, didn't ask any questions.I'm really not surprised that this guy cuts iron like tofu.

"However, it's fine like this." Eric chewed the meat in his mouth, and glanced at the sky outside the window, "In two or three weeks, the rain will clear up." I lowered my head to eat, and missed seeing Seeing the complicated thoughts flashing in his eyes.

On the second day, the rain still persisted, and the outline of the sun could not be discerned through the thick clouds.

Standing on a hilltop of this island, I looked down at the town below, and the low land that had been invaded by the rain and turned into a vast ocean. I shook my head: "This is blood rain." The pain of the owner of the small shop as a father and his Obsession with hometown.

Hometown, is it worth persisting and defending?If I had my own memory, what would my hometown look like?What about my family?I covered my left chest with my right hand under the cloak, and the rhythm came from my palm, amplifying the voice of my heart several times.Looking down at the city with bitter eyes, but with an abnormally calm expression, this is the first time I know that I really want to know my past...

I looked sideways at the captain standing next to me, saw him look up at the haze with clear eyes, and remembered what he said himself last night: "We are companions, and your business is our business."

Can be trusted, right?This feeble hope was counterbalanced by that inexplicable instinctive withdrawal, which made me extremely conflicted.

"Rainwater is not something that brings people pain, but represents hope." I also looked up at the gray and oppressive sky, even though the cold raindrops fell into my eyes, I didn't lower my head, and the corners of my mouth lightly curled up, "The rain should give way at this moment and let the sky clear up .”

Standing beside me, Ace in a black cloak evoked a confident smile, straightened his cowboy hat, and said, "Happy to oblige." He elementalized his punches and quickly ignited The monstrous fire is no less powerful than the continuous rain.The rain vaporized in the air due to the high temperature, turning into misty white mist.He punched the sky, and the huge fireball broke through the clouds, returning the thick haze to nothingness, revealing the warm and radiant sun in the center.The cloud gradually dissipated.

"That's about the same." Mr. Swordsman, who was standing on the deck looking at the sky in the distance, put his arms around his chest and muttered, "I'm going to be moldy."

"Not bad." Ezra pulled the cowboy hat on his head, smiled brightly, and pointed to the sky, "The sun."

We went down the mountain, through the city to get back to the pirate ship.On the way, I saw countless people leaving their homes, standing on the street looking up at the bright sun.There are tears in the eyes of adults, and curiosity and surprise in the eyes of children. There is no difference, but their expressions of satisfaction and unquestionable happiness.I was infected by this joyful emotion, the corners of my mouth gradually curled up, and my eyes softened a bit.

An ear-piercing voice sounded abruptly, with a bit of sharpness: "It's him! Knocked me out and led people to destroy our naval base!" Which top grade announced his defeat so carelessly... I was in my heart With emotion, he raised his eyes to look at Ace, and raised his eyebrows worriedly: Are you okay?

When the citizens heard the words of the navy, some looked at Ace, and most of them just looked at the navy with strange expressions, unable to accept such shocking news for a while.Naval base destroyed?

Ace ignored the man's words, with a usual smile in his eyes, lowered the brim of his hat, and also quickened his pace, walking side by side with me.It's fine.I quickened my pace without hesitation, pretended not to know Ace, and thought in my heart: Don't follow, don't follow, don't follow...

He could hear the man's angry voice, but he didn't dare to come forward to arrest Ace in person, and his voice was stern: "Catch him!"

Hey, don't follow me!I looked at him helplessly, conveying my dissatisfaction resentfully.I don't have such strong self-protection ability as you, don't get me involved in strange things... I am an ordinary person without self-protection ability... Captain, I am optimistic about you, don't involve me in it, um.

"Stop!" the navy yelled dryly, "or we're going to shoot."

For people with natural abilities, is shooting really useful?Fool.Even I know how to use Hailou Stone Net...

Ace stopped, turned his head, and took a step in front of me without a trace, looking at the gun-toting sailors forming a semicircle surrounding the officer.Regardless of aiming at his muzzle, Ace evoked a brisk smile on his face, as always sunny: "I looked at the budget, and it cost a lot of money to build that dark cloud machine, tsk tsk, do you feel distressed?"

"Of course! That's half my life's savings. If it wasn't for these fools, I would..." The furious man didn't realize that he was being provoked. When he finally knew, It's too late.

The cause and effect, as long as a person with a brain thinks a little bit, he can understand.

I think Ace's smile must have turned into a sinister smile with ominous meaning in his eyes.

Twitching out of the corner of my eye, I saw the people who had learned the truth and suddenly realized that they were angrily holding various items, such as cutting boards, rolling pins, and brooms, and walked over.God... I seem to see smelly socks...

And the navy that was protecting him also changed his expression greatly: "Lieutenant Alba, is this really the case?"

"No, it's not..." He was struggling, his voice was sharp, "It's that pirate, that pirate framed me!"

The navy drooped its muzzle, stood upright with dignity, and said, "As the sergeant of this base, I have the right to put you under house arrest and report this matter to the Navy headquarters, and they will investigate and make a decision." The surrounding navy also agreed. Turning to the former chief, there was doubt and disapproval on his face, but there was no aggrieved one.It seems that he is quite unpopular.

"Evidence!" Facing the rebellion of the navy, he suddenly laughed madly, "The dark cloud manufacturing machine has been destroyed by these pirates, as well as the drawings and documents! Even the investigators of the headquarters can't find it in person. Any proof! I'm not guilty!"

"Ahem, Mr. Sergeant!" He heard his title being called, and turned his head reflexively, just in time to catch the object I threw.He took a closer look and asked doubtfully, "Phone bug?"

"Please press the '0' button on the side of it." Mr. Sergeant realized the difference between this small phone bug and ordinary ones. It only has two buttons, '1' and '0'.So he looked at me suspiciously, hesitated after seeing my sincere eyes, and obediently pressed the '0' key.

The phone bug wakes up instantly alive, speaking like someone, and every time the voice changes its demeanor changes, so quickly it could win an Oscar: "I looked at the budget... the cloud maker... this Uncle... earn it back...you have no evidence!...not guilty!"

The lieutenant over there had already turned pale, while the sergeant holding the phone bug looked at me with a complicated expression.

Produced by Mr. Ship Doctor, when he was bored, he used drugs to experiment on the phone bug, and a mutation occurred. The phone bug with phonograph function is unique.To be a human being, you must learn to take precautions before they happen, and you must keep your hand at all times. The second half of the sentence is said by the ship doctor.

"Key '1' to record, key '0' to play." I raised my eyebrows, stepped forward and stood next to Ace, "Your evidence."

Two people escorted the lieutenant, while the rest of the navy picked up their guns and aimed at Ace.The sergeant looked serious: "Pirate, please don't hurt that lady." He didn't turn his gaze to me, but looked at Ace as if facing a big enemy: "Miss, please come here quickly, we will protect you."

I immediately realized what they had misunderstood, the corners of my mouth twitched, and my voice was weak: "Well, he is actually my captain."

"Are you... a pirate too?" The sergeant looked at me incredulously, and I sneered in my heart with a few veins popping out on my forehead.Yes, it's my fault that you can't connect me with pirates for being thin and harmless, not holding weapons, and being too passer-by. I'm really sorry.Then I calmed down, isn't it good to be a good citizen?

"Put down the gun!" The sergeant ordered loudly, and set an example by putting down the gun in his hand, with a complicated look on his face, "Navymen, this is an order!" The soldiers in snow-white uniforms around hesitated for a moment, but obediently put down the gun in their hands. weapons.It is the duty of a soldier to follow orders, even if the consequence is death.

"Thank you." The sergeant thanked with a straight face and a serious tone, "The record pointer should be fine, please go now, we will not stop you." I looked at the marines thoughtfully, and the general local Members of the naval fortress will have local people inside... Is this their way of expressing gratitude?

"Hey! Navy!" a citizen said indignantly, "They stopped the rain and exposed the conspiracy! How can you drive them away!"

"Because we are the navy." The sergeant looked at Ace and me with a serious expression, "Please leave immediately!"

The citizens began to complain: "Why are you doing this! We haven't entertained them yet, so thank you!"

"Let's go." Ace patted me on the shoulder, smiling calmly, without any guilt.The navy has the rules of the navy, they cannot mingle with the pirates.Opening one eye and closing one eye is already the limit.

"Hi hi." I smiled at the sergeant and turned around. "Hope to see you again!" The next time we see each other, he will never show mercy.

In this way, we left the city smoothly and set off again.

But all stories have untold sequels.

"The fire fist from before..." The sergeant looked at Ace's back thoughtfully, "It's also his ability, right?"

"Yes." A second-ranking soldier saluted and reported, "Yesterday I saw with my own eyes that he used fire to destroy half of the fortress."

"A person with natural abilities..." The sergeant looked complicated, and signaled the navy to take the former lieutenant and today's criminal back. "Where's the female pirate next to me?"

"I don't know..." Haijun looked blank, "I didn't see her last night..."

Under the bright sunshine, a burst of immature children's words somehow clearly reached the sergeant's ears.

"Dad, Rain is really gone! It's like a promise with me!" Little Jack grabbed his father's hand, looked up at his mother next to him, "Mom, Mom, did you see? My sister is gone! "

Calling Yu an elder sister... The sergeant saw the child's father lowered his head and covered the child's mouth, shook his head in disapproval, and instantly understood something.Is that woman's name Rain?

"One matter is one matter." The sergeant sighed, "When the headquarters comes to investigate, they will definitely be reported to the headquarters."

The Spades Pirates are going to be famous.

The author has something to say:

Ace's dark belly is just showing up~

I read what I wrote before, and I really don’t understand why I have been in the black navy... ==

The Navy is good guys, most of them are.Um.

I began to shape the worldview.Um.

I found that the current situation is that the ship doctor controls Rain, Rain controls Ace, and Ace controls the ship doctor... it should be...

Really sorry for my speed.Added plot.I have found the feeling, and I will work hard these days.
