[One Piece] Walk side by side

The weather was clear and cloudless, and the sun shone brightly on the sea. Sarah stretched herself. Although the island of rain had a strange scenery, it was hard to see the sun for a long time. Fortunately, they had already left.

Marco sat leisurely on the deck, blowing the wind. Such a good day, I really don't want to go back.

Sara was chatting with several ladies on the boat. This is a noble boat, and its destination is on the volcanic island. It is not the territory of the Four Emperors, and there are no people living there. The natural barrier prevents people from going here. The volcanic island has been inhabited for a long time, so the volcanic island is not inhabited, but the original ecological scenery is endless. In addition, it is said that this was once a rich kingdom. Because of the destruction of natural disasters, the people who come here are either adventurous adventurers. Either pirates looking for treasure, or nobles who are doing nothing like this ship.

Sara and the others were able to successfully get on this ship because of Karin. Her little friend was a nobleman who stayed in the Island of Rain for some unknown reason, but because of the arrival of the nobles, she decided to leave with her family. They successfully boarded this extremely luxurious looking ship.

The destination of the Whitebeard Pirates is also there. Originally, they were replenishing at the Island of Rain, and then stopped at the Volcano Island. However, because of Allen, they stayed in the Island of Rain for a long time. The Whitebeard Pirates also made supplies on other islands. Afterwards, we arrived at the volcanic island, because every year the pirates under the Whitebeard Pirates would send people over, saying that it was a handover, but it was actually a carnival for the pirates. This time they chose the volcanic island. After all, the legends are also credible. After all, treasure, adventure, and the sea are always the romance of pirates. Although Sara seems to understand, but when Marco talks about these, his eyes are shining, and he is not the usual sleepy look at all.

Sarah and the noble ladies inquired about the news, she was curious about the volcanic island.The aristocratic ladies don't look superior, they dress gorgeously, talk and behave elegantly, of course, it may also be because there are many excellent young men who are suitable for marriage.

After realizing that the noble ladies didn't know anything, Sara left quickly. Please, she didn't want to know which clothes were beautiful and which cosmetics were useful, although the big bathtub in the room was really comfortable.

Marco was still dressed casually, sitting cross-legged on the deck, not caring about other people's pointing at all, his eyes followed Sarah's running around, and finally: "Let me say, can you take a break."

Sara came over mysteriously: "I just heard that a certain lady said that they went to the volcanic island for the treasure."

Marco moved away a little to prevent the heat of the opponent's breath from reaching his ears: "You have to find it."

"They are making such a big fuss, they must know something." Sara was trying to inquire about the initiator.

Marco grabbed the little girl who was inexplicably excited: "You are really suitable to be a pirate. I, a genuine pirate, are not as excited as you when I hear about the treasure."

"It's different, you must have seen it many times, and if you find the treasure, you can buy the big bathtub in the room," Sara paused, "It's really comfortable." She nodded affirmatively, of course because That's the romance of pirates. Although she doesn't understand it, she can understand it.

"...Your reason is really irrefutable."

Sara poked the other person's chest, it was hard, and it should feel good: "And you have such obvious tattoos, they dare to let us board the ship, either they have a conspiracy, or the other party is not afraid."

Marco pulled Sarah's hand down without changing his face: "I really hope that behind the other party is just a cute and stupid nobleman."

"Afraid of trouble?"

Marco approached Sara, ignoring the blushing of the other party: "The recent incidents are too coincidental. Whether it is on the island or this group of nobles, it is a coincidence that I have to doubt my partner."

Sarah was taken aback.

Marco went on self-consciously: "This taste is really bad. After all, those who betray their partners in this sea will not end well."

Sarah looked at the other party's expressionless face and sharp eyes, and suddenly realized that he was the first team captain of the Whitebeard Pirates. He might hesitate, but it would never affect the decision he made. His friends are watching him, he can only be a strong and trustworthy captain.

Sarah lowered her eyes and pulled Marco's clothes. She could foresee that once the betrayer was found out, Marco would never care about friendship.

Marco patted Sarah on the shoulder, stood up, and walked towards a nobleman. The gentleman had a neat beard, a top hat, and an exquisite bow tie.

"Does Mr. Marco have any advice?" The voice was low and elegant.

"You put us on board."

"Yes."

"It's really frank. I don't like trouble. It's better to be direct."

"I don't have any malicious intentions, I just hope that we can live in peace with the Whitebeard Pirates when we arrive at Volcanic Island."

Marco looked at the well-dressed nobles, shook his head and sighed: "I really don't know whether to say you are naive or stupid."

Mr. Noble smiled indifferently.

"Marco, the desserts here are delicious."

Marco looked helplessly at the little girl whose hair was messed up by the wind: "I said you, can you be quiet for a while." With disgust in his mouth, he brushed Sarah's hair messed up by the sea breeze with his hand.

"Jasmine said that this is the most famous pastry chef in their kingdom. Sure enough, I have never eaten such a delicious dessert." Sara held the cake in her hand and licked the cream on the corner of her mouth.

"...It's best not to let Sage hear that, he will cry."

"……it is good."

"Do you want to try it?" Sarah raised the cake in her hand and handed it to Marco's mouth.

"I don't like sweets, you can eat them and don't run around." Marco stared at the noble gentleman who had been looking at them.

"You can play as you like on this ship, miss." The nobleman maintained his etiquette.

"Oh, thank you." Although Sarah didn't feel any malice from him, she still felt uncomfortable and could only leave.

夜晚

The lights on the ship were bright, and the crystal chandelier in the hall made people dizzy. The nobles held wine glasses, chatted and laughed together, or gambled around the round table, as if the next destination was not a dangerous island.

Marco sat in a corner with a glass of wine, his eyes full of sarcasm.

Sara was wearing the clothes provided by Jasmine, a slim white evening dress, moved unaccustomed to it, holding the only Bailey, and was participating in the gambling with great enthusiasm. Maybe the novice was lucky. They all stared a little bit, but luckily they knew enough is enough, they were shrinking aside and counting happily, completely ignoring the people who came to say hello.

Jasmine followed and also counted, and she won a lot after Sara with her pocket money.

One big and one small, the big ones are pure and beautiful, and the little ones are lively and cute. If you ignore their behavior, they still look beautiful.

"Sister Sara, let's play a few more rounds." Jasmine contentedly put Bailey in her bag, and the rabbit embroidered on it was baring its teeth.

"No, I've won enough, I'm afraid the aura of beginners has disappeared." Sara was very tangled.

"It's okay, yours is gone, and mine is still there." Jasmine clapped her hands.

Sarah still couldn't hold back the temptation, the two looked at each other, and left the battlefield as if they were dead.

"Oh, Jasmine, I'm out of money." Sarah looked at the one hundred Bailey in her hand with tears in her eyes.

"Sister Sara." Jasmine shook her empty wallet.

Sarah squatted down, and the two held hands with each other, wanting to cry without tears.

Marco quickly took a sip of his wine and suppressed his smile.

Sara sat on the side with her head downcast, Jasmine tugged at the corner of Sara's clothes and didn't speak, the two looked sluggish.

"Lost it all?" Marco asked deliberately.

Jasmine snorted and ignored him. It was strange to say that it was Marco who saved her back then, but the little girl just didn't like him.

Sarah looked at the one hundred Baileys in her hand and remained silent.

Marco put down the wine glass he drank in his hand, took one hundred Baileys from Sara, and walked to the round table under the suspicious eyes of the other party.

One big and one small looked at each other and followed.

Seeing more and more chips piled up in front of each other, the two handed wine and fruit graciously. Jasmine smiled all over her face and took a mouthful of Brother Marco. It was not when she was complaining about Uncle Marco behind his back, but Sara helped pinch it behind his back. Carrying her shoulders, cheering from time to time, Jasmine came and went holding fruits, calling Marco brother the best from time to time.

There were envious eyes from all around, and after winning a large sum, Sara hugged Marco's neck from behind, imitating Jasmine's tone and cheering that Marco's brother is the best. She didn't see him froze at all. All the apples fell on the ground. Seeing this scene, Jasmine touched her chin imitating how an adult was thinking, her face was full of the same.

"Hurry up, Marco." Sara urged the opponent to start the next game quickly.

Marko rubbed his nose and coughed. Because he was absent-minded, he didn't continue to win. Fortunately, he won a lot before. After the one big and one small people finished dividing up, they ignored him and were happily counting together.

Marco rubbed his nose, feeling that the scent he smelled at that moment was still lingering at the tip of his nose.
