[Pirate] Ann

Two consecutive unpleasant landings caused everyone on the ship to fall into a short-term depression. It was rare that the restaurant was so quiet. Shanks sighed secretly when he saw that everyone was "speaking of food". .

"Everyone, don't be like this, the food is not good!" Shanks said loudly with a smile, but this opening received resentful eyes from his partners.And there was one of them that made him feel particularly awkward, so he turned his head with a dry smile, and said to Ann who had been sitting beside her for some time: "Be happy, be happy!"

"No, I'm very happy." Ann said without looking back.

A strong sour smell wafted out.

Everyone bowed their heads to eat in a very sensible manner and did not speak.

"Do you want to go to the gourmet city to change your mood?" Landa suddenly suggested.

"Gourmet capital?" Ann's attention was immediately diverted.

"Well, Food City..." Before Landa finished speaking, Lu jumped up excitedly and shouted: "Butchier! Ann, it's amazing there!"

A simple new topic just made everyone excited again.

Of course, the most excited ones are undoubtedly An and Lu. They also have a great interest in food and they quickly get together. The friendship between foodies has grown rapidly.It's just that An still has some curiosity about unknown areas, and Lu Na just wants to eat it.

After Miss Ani's incident, the discerning people on the boat more or less saw the subtlety between Ann and their boss, and all kinds of bets were raised one after another. Ann really brought them a lot of fun!

Although the crew was in a state of excitement, Shanks was a little absent-minded.

He hadn't had time to tell Ann about the news he got from Hawkeye.

"What's the matter?" Seeing the appearance of his own captain, Beckman finally couldn't stand on the sidelines anymore.Originally, he was a silent bystander with the idea that "it seems interesting to let the stupid captain open his mind", but he didn't expect that he would be affected so much.

"Beckman." Shanks looked up at him, and called his name as a greeting.The two of them didn't speak for a while, and after a while, Shanks said, "Ace is looking for us too."

"Oh?" Beckman raised his eyebrows, "Ann will be very embarrassed."

"Yeah." Shanks smiled, "Time flies so fast, I almost forgot why Ann got on the boat."

"This kind of emotion is really not suitable for you." Beckman also laughed.

"Haha, I actually think so too!" Shanks laughed twice.

"It's not just you, everyone is used to An's existence."

"They're going to be lost for a while."

"What about you?" Beckman took out a cigarette and lit it. "It's rare that Landa is working so hard."

"I...don't know." Shanks scratched his hair in embarrassment.

Beckman smiled and shook his head, knowing that this would be the answer, "If it's an ordinary girl, at Ann's age, it's not surprising that there is someone she likes."

"Huh? But Ann is different, right?"

"Who knows."

Beckman didn't say the whole thing, leaving a little space for Shanks to think for himself.No way, it was too much fun.

"Shanks—" Ann shouted on the deck, so someone who was still confused by Beckman's words just now poked his head out.

"Ann!" Shanks looked at the thin man not far away.

"So you're there!" Ann who heard the voice turned around and smiled generously.

Oh My God.

Seeing the different smile on Shanks' face, Beckman couldn't help curling his lips.

A few days later, when their boat stopped beside the gourmet city, amazing cheers rang out from the boat.Because of An's relationship, the crew members were all looking forward to this landing.

Shanks watched helplessly as they took Ann scrambling off the boat, and then quickly disappeared from sight.The rest of them are relatively calm on weekdays, but at this time they spontaneously want to stay behind.

"Larch, are you still not going?" Shanks stopped Larch who was about to go back to the infirmary to sleep, and asked.

"No, I'm not interested in food," he said.

"Eh? Larch isn't going?"

"Yeah, he never got off the boat every time he came here." Shanks replied reflexively, was silent for two seconds, then turned his head suddenly, his face full of surprise, "Ann?!"

"Why didn't Larch go?" I seemed to be unaware of this, and continued to ask.

"Because his father is here, no, didn't you go down with them just now?" Shanks replied reflexively, but this time he also brought out his own doubts.

Ann grinned and said, "I slipped out because I wanted to hang out with Shanks."

Shanks felt his heartbeat was out of order for a second, and then the corners of his mouth raised uncontrollably.

"I still have a question. Isn't Larch's hometown in Drum Island? Why is his father here? Since his father is here, why doesn't he go to see his father?"

"Wait a minute, there are too many questions!" Shanks made a "stop" gesture, and seeing that Ann had stopped asking questions, he began to explain slowly: "Larch's father went to sea when he was a child, and said He wanted to go to various places to help patients, but after he came here, he lingered on the delicious food here and settled down. As for why he didn’t go to see his father... because his mother died of illness in the second year after his father left He got sick, and not long after that, he received a letter from his father, saying that he was doing well in the gourmet city, and he never contacted his father after that.”

"Is that so..." Ann lowered her head, as if feeling sorry for Larch, but soon she raised her head again, with a determined expression on her face.

"Let's go find Larch's father!"

So the two became No. 1 who came to the gourmet city but not for the purpose of tasting food.

perhaps.

They said they were looking for someone, but they didn't even know where the other person lived.The capital of gourmet food is not small, and there are many people, it is really not easy to find it.

"By the way, do you know Larch's father's name?" Ann asked.

"Hmm... I think it's called Blackjack." Shanks thought for a while and replied.

"Strange name."

"Ha ha!"

"But the name is so strange, it must be easy to find."

"Eh? Have you figured out a way?"

I didn't reply immediately, but gave Shanks a contemptuous look, "What else can I do to find someone, of course I have to ask."

"Ahaha..." Shanks laughed, then stopped suddenly and turned his head away.At this moment, Shanks, who can double his age, is roaring inside.

However, Ann didn't pay attention to this. She walked towards the store closest to the two of them. When she entered the store, she found that although the store was not big, it had a lot of customers. table.

It really deserves to be the capital of gourmet food.

Ann sighed, and walked towards the bar. The young man who was busy at the bar immediately greeted An with a smile on his face, "This beautiful and charming lady, what do you need? Our signature is special kebabs. If you want, please let me dine with you and go to a quieter place."

Shanks, who was walking behind Ann, heard what the young man said to Ann, so he stood beside Ann without saying a word, and looked at the frivolous young man silently.

"Sorry, we just wanted to ask you about someone." Ann said to the young man with a smile, "And, I already have someone to dine with." She said, looking up at Shanks, and then looking at him Showed a consistent smile.

What An Suo wanted to express was very clear. The young man was obviously a very sensible person. He first showed a regretful expression, and then immediately changed into the usual smile when dealing with guests, saying: " Really, what a pity... I wish you happiness."

"Thank you." Ann turned her head and gave the young man a thankful smile, "Then, do you know where Mr. Blackjack lives?"

"So you are looking for Dr. Jack. Let me write down the address. Wait a moment." After the young man finished speaking, he reincarnated to find a pen and paper.

The two who got the address successfully found the place where Blackjack lived.It is a place far from the lively urban area, where you can clearly see the ocean and passing ships.

Ann repeatedly confirmed that she had not gone the wrong way, and then stepped forward to ring the doorbell, but she didn't wait for someone to open the door for them for a long time.

"The address shouldn't be wrong, right?" Ann looked at the note in her hand and asked in confusion.

"Maybe they went out, but they are here anyway, so wait here." Shanks said.

"Then wait." Ann nodded.

So the two leaned on both sides of the door and began to wait quietly.

After a long time, Shanks suddenly realized, isn't this a good opportunity to tell Ann the news?He was about to speak, but unexpectedly, he was preempted.

"Shanks!"

Ann struggled mentally for a long time before summoning up the courage to call out Shanks' name.

Although her attention will always be taken away because of various things, it doesn't mean that she will forget - what Landa said to her before.

In fact, every night after this, she would seriously think about it. She didn't quite understand the matter of liking, but when she was a child, she would always read various books, and she would more or less learn about this term from the books.

Grandma told her that father and mother are together because of love, and love develops from liking.

Although she also doesn't understand what love is, but using this example to illustrate, let Ann realize what a great feeling liking is!

So in the face of such a great relationship, she needs to think carefully.

She thinks that her feelings for other people can also be called liking, why did Landa only ask her if she likes Shanks?Unable to understand, Ann decided to ask Landa, and got a lot of gains.

Landa told her that there are many kinds of liking. For example, she is with everyone, and it is the liking among companions, which is different from her liking for Shanks.

Of course, An also expressed doubts about Landa's words.

She doesn't understand many things, but that doesn't mean she's easy to fool.

Landa said very frankly, "Indeed, but I won't tell you that for no reason. Am I talking nonsense when I say that you will be unhappy when you see the boss and Miss Arney together? Don't you always Do you want to stay with the boss? Don't you feel better when you see the boss when you are bored?"

Interlude here, when Landa said these things, he also had the idea of ​​going all out and trying if he didn't succeed, and he was successful in the end.

So this wild intuition is really too wild!

Then let's bring our attention back to Ann's psychological activities. After what Landa said, she fell into deep thought again, thanked her and left, and then she was able to figure out a result by herself.

And the result was above, the sound of her courage.
