[Pirate] Ann

In the past few days, Ann had practiced a little too much, and accidentally strained her arm muscles. At this time, she was sitting in Larch's infirmary receiving treatment under his terrifying aura.

"How on earth did you manage to make yourself like this!"

"Well..." An shrank his head timidly, and looked at Larch with a pitiful look.

"What's the matter, what's the matter?" Just passing by, he gnawed on the chicken leg and poked his head in, "Hey, is Ann sick again? Do you want to eat the chicken leg?"

"Yes!" Ann nodded, she hasn't eaten yet.

"Don't eat it!" At this moment, Larch yelled fiercely, and then flung his eyes at him, and Lu Gan, who was nibbling on the chicken leg, retracted his head with a smile.

An flattened his mouth and sat obediently.Living up to her expectations, Larch was really a training session.

"What on earth are you trying to do? Don't you understand that you should take good care of your body?"

"I don't know if everyone will worry about you?"

"If you encounter an enemy, who are you going to let get injured or die because of protecting you?"

"There's already been a precedent, don't you think it's not enough? When do you want everyone to surround you?"

"Or did you get carried away just because you were cared about by so many people?"

"I..." Ann opened her mouth, feeling that her voice was trembling so much that she couldn't speak a complete sentence.Larch's training is really merciless, and he is very good at grabbing people's attention and hitting hard.

Shanks and Beckman, who were called by Lu to "help" outside the door, both heard Larch's lecture, but they were silent, and they didn't intend to open the door immediately to interrupt.

It is well known that Larch has a poisonous mouth, and it is also the biggest reason why everyone is afraid of his three-pointer.However, it was also the first time they saw Larch scolding someone so angrily, which showed that he really cared about Ann.

"I... I didn't get carried away." Ann said, her voice was still choked, which was not surprising to Shanks and the others. "If I don't become strong, I will definitely become a burden again."

It took a lot of effort for An to say two complete sentences.

Ever since she found out that her strength was nothing in this sea, her fear has increased day by day.Since she was sensible, she has been used to seeing her grandparents working hard to pay for her medical treatment, no matter how reluctant she is, her body will not live up to expectations.Like Larch said, if one day someone gets hurt or dies because of her relationship, then she will never forgive herself.

"Crack-"

At this time Shanks opened the door and walked in, "Since you have this awareness, you should find a correct way to realize it."

An wiped away her tears, and looked over blankly, "The right way?"

She did it according to the exercises that the teacher of the Kendo Gym has always arranged, but the amount of training and the difficulty of training have increased several times for her.

"Do you think your companions are just calling her names for fun?" Shanks came over, patted her on the head with his hand, and said with a smile.

Ann continued to look at Shanks, but his eyes changed from blank to full of expectation: "You mean, are you going to teach me?"

Uh... He clearly meant to ask Ann to go to the crew for advice. Although he planned to give guidance as much as possible, but looking at Ann's expression at this time, it was clear that - you will teach me, right?Will you teach me one-on-one hand in hand?Because we are companions!

"I'll teach you!" Shanks, who struggled for a while, finally spoke, and at the same time, Beckman outside the door complained in his heart blankly: "This idiot."

Did Ann really not understand what Shanks meant?

Of course not.

With such an opportunity in front of her eyes, how could she not grab it?Besides, although everyone is very strong, the most powerful and authoritative one is indeed the redhead.

Although Larch was also involved in the final instruction, but he was purely to control Ann's training volume.This is really not good news for Ann, who is eager for success, because it means that her training volume is greatly reduced.

This matter was resolved without letting others know. After that, all the uninformed people found that Ann would go to Shanks every day, and the two of them didn't know what to do in the small room.

As for gossip, obviously not only women are good at it, men gossip is also quite scary.

Of course, some people are happy while others are worried, and everyone knows that people who are worried don't need to say much.As a good friend, Qiu Xi only comforted him at the beginning, and then happily ran to bet with others.

Tsk.Kari stood on the edge of the deck full of displeasure, and this time happened to be the time for Ann to go to Shanks.He really wanted to go up and ask, but he couldn't take this step for some reason.

He remembered what Qiu Xi said the first time, and now that he thought about it, it was true. He encountered an unprecedentedly powerful enemy, and he didn't think he had a chance to defeat this enemy.

"cut."

As if he had finally made up his mind, he walked towards the captain's cabin.

And at this time in Shanks' room, Anzheng and Larch staged a daily bargain.

"Practice for a while, 5 minutes, 5 minutes!"

"no!"

"3 minutes, 3 minutes!"

"Not even for a minute!"

"mean!"

Shanks sat silently on the edge of the bed and looked at the two helplessly. They came here every day, and they really didn't get bored. Looking at the progress, it was almost time for Ann to ask him for help.

"Shanks—you can tell Larch for me too!"

Look, his timing is really accurate.

"Okay, that's it for today, don't be so anxious, I have made some progress in the past two days."

"I know, that's why I want to practice more!" An said dissatisfiedly, but in the end he still couldn't compete with Laqi, so the day's training ended like this.She puffed her cheeks and turned her back to Larch angrily.

"Speaking of which, are you going to Saint Ting Island soon?" Larch suddenly changed the subject, and as he said this, he aimed his eyes at Ann.Sure enough, upon hearing the unknown place name, An immediately turned around and asked excitedly, "What? Sentine Island? Where is that?"

"It's a desert." Larch didn't hold Ann's appetite, and answered her directly, "There is a kingdom called Alabasta, it's a very nice place."

"Desert!" An didn't listen to Larch's words at all, and only reacted to the word "desert".Larch gave her a speechless look, but the latter was already jumping up and down the room excitedly.

"It just so happens that something needs to be added to the ship, so let's take Ann to have a look." Shanks looked at the excited Ann and said.In fact, he also felt that he seemed to be going too smoothly, but there was nothing wrong with this decision. Originally, he also planned to land at the next stop to replenish some supplies for the ship.Since Ann joined, the banquets on the ship have become more frequent, which caused their food and drinks to be consumed very quickly, and I am afraid they can only last as long as Alabasta.

"Wow!" Ann was so excited that she rushed over and hugged Shanks, then stood up and hugged Lucky who was standing aside, and finally rushed out of the room before the two of them could react.

The two looked at each other, and finally sighed together.

"This girl is not big or small." Larch said helplessly.

"Haha, isn't that an advantage?" Shanks echoed with a smile.

Ann, who rushed out of the room, ran into Kari within a few steps, and she greeted Kari enthusiastically in a high mood.

"Yo! Kari!"

"Uh... yo." Cary was startled, and replied, and then watched An bouncing around him and leaving.

what's the situation?

Ann ran all the way to the wheelhouse, found the map that Landa had told her where to put it, and quickly found the direction of her next destination.

Sentine, Alabasta, desert!

Because of the excitement, An couldn't stop smiling.The sea is really the best!

But it will take at least two or three days for their ship to reach its destination.So during this period of time, An also spent less time pestering Larch and Shanks to ask for more practice, and instead turned to inquiring about stories about the desert kingdom.

At least he doesn't have to worry about the girl's physical condition, Larch thought.

And because of Ann, a group of men who have been to Alabasta talked happily about Alabasta.Kari, who saw such a scene, was already very depressed. What's the matter?

But Qiu Xi leaned close to him, hooked his shoulder with one hand, and smiled maliciously, "I said Kari, let's not talk about strong enemies. In the current situation, you I can't get in a half sentence, how do you think this will make progress?"

"..." Kari folded his arms around his chest, ignoring him.

"Don't say that brother is not with you, a group of people are betting on whether you dare to confess. The group of unscrupulous guys all bet on you not being able to, but brother, I bet that you will! Let's fight for brother!"

"...you are going to die for me."

Is it tolerable or unbearable? He dare not confess?joke!

"Well, this time we will be with you two." Qiu Xi lowered her voice and whispered in Kari's ear, "Then I will create opportunities for you, isn't it interesting!"

"... Cut." Cary turned his head away, noncommittal.

Their calculations are good, but their plans often fail to keep up with the changes. Rather, no one thought that they would meet that person.
