To the end of the sea [One Piece]

After coming out of the nameless shop, Eina looked up at the sky that was clear just now.

In the distance, dark clouds were gathering towards Rogge Town, and the unusually cold wind picked up the corners of her clothes.

Eina frowned - the rain was about to come, and something big was bound to happen.

She immediately ran towards the central street, hoping to meet Nami and the others as soon as possible.

Halfway through, she was blocked by a tall figure who suddenly turned out from the side, and she almost bumped into him.

"Can you please give way? I have something urgent to go over." She said anxiously.

Then she saw the face of the man in front of her slowly turning around with some astonishment.

He has gray hair... holding two smoking cigars... and a rugged face with a fierce look on his face.

"Smorg?!" Eina cried out.

Smoker was not surprised that the other party knew his name: "Pirate hunter [Naraku]... But according to the intelligence, you should now be a member of the Straw Hat Pirates like Roronoa Zoro."

Eina closed her mouth and looked at him warily.

She was going with her gut again.

Her familiarity with Smoker was extremely subtle. If she were to say it, she would want to quarrel with him as soon as she saw him; but if it was not to be, she subconsciously felt that the man in front of her was a good person.

Good people - this kind of words that only children would think are simply compliments appeared in her evaluation, that is, "people who can do things that are inconsistent with their status and that are consistent with her concept of justice."

But now when he looked at her, he was just looking at an ordinary pirate.

Why - she suddenly asked anxiously in her heart, why Sauron was like this too. She clearly thought deep down in her heart that she was familiar with them, but the other party's reaction was completely different.

Could the intuition she's relied on to survive since her amnesia actually be faulty? ?

For example, she was looking at Smoker now. Although she didn't know him, she could accurately tell how many cigars he had in his pocket, the location of the lighter, and how to steal all these things as quickly as possible.

Then, he taunted him accurately and confidently that he would not get hit by him.

What could she do? Call his name loudly and say "I have lost my memory, why don't you recognize me"?

Eina suddenly felt very powerless.

I have never hated myself so much for having no memory.

Smoker's movements holding the cigar in his mouth paused slightly.

What's going on... The former pirate hunter in front of him, now a member of the Straw Hat Boys, Ikegawa Ena, is looking at him with a sad and depressed look. If you look carefully, you can see there seems to be a hint of accusation.

When he first heard about her achievements, he thought it was rare for a girl of her age to be such an outstanding bounty hunter, but later he heard that she had become a pirate.

There was no fluctuation in his heart.

Tsk, there is another prisoner who needs to be arrested.

But Teacher Zefa bless him, he really didn't do anything that she could accuse him of!

He said coldly: "If you want to fight with me, I don't mind accompanying you. When the time comes, you will go to the naval prison to daze, and you will have a lot of time."

Eina retracted her thoughts and said calmly: "No need, Mr. Smoker. I have no intention of ending my journey here yet."

Smoker was about to say something when suddenly there was a commotion from the direction of the execution platform. When Eina looked up, she saw two figures on the high platform in the distance. One of them was stepping on the other's head, holding a knife and shouting something.

When she turned around again Smoker was gone.

Tsk. She thought to herself that Smoker appeared here but did not conflict with her, and no navy came to stop the commotion on the execution platform. They must be waiting for something.

Sure enough, when she came to the square, she looked around among the dark crowd, and soon discovered the navy who had been hiding around the square for a long time.

Is the person on the execution platform some important person? She looked up and saw the conspicuous straw hat and the silly smiling face of her captain.

He is indeed a big shot...

Eina held her forehead with a headache. Just then, two loud shouts came from outside the crowd: "Your execution - wait for me!!"

Everyone turned around. His hair colors, one golden and one green, couldn't be any easier to recognize.

"It's Pirate Hunter Zoro!" People dispersed in horror, making way for Zoro and Sanji.

Eina didn't move, so when the crowd around her dispersed, the silver-haired girl suddenly appeared in the center of the square.

Zoro and Sanji were stunned for a moment, then walked towards her.

"I can still find it here." Zoro stood on her right and held the knife in his hand.

Eina noticed the two extra knives he had: "So you went to buy knives."

Zoro hummed, and Sanji looked at her worriedly: "Ena, are you okay? Are you not injured?"

"I'm fine." Eina looked up at the execution platform and held Yugiri's knife handle: "The one who's in trouble now should be the idiot captain up there."

Luffy shouted happily after seeing them: "Zoro! Sanji! Ena!"

Bucky stepped on his head harder.

"We're on board." Zoro ran forward as soon as he finished speaking, followed closely by Sanji and Eina, "Just destroy the execution platform!"

"It's important to save Luffy, but you'd better understand that we are now surrounded by marines." Ena slashed a group of marines in an instant and rushed forward without stopping.

"Let's think about the retreat after we save Luffy!" Sanji kicked away several marines who wanted to sneak attack Ena.

However, no matter how they raced against time, it was already too late for the execution platform.

The knife in Bucky's hand had begun to swing downward.

At this moment, Luffy suddenly calmed down.

He gave them a huge smile, as if he was telling them it was a nice day.

"Sorry... guys," he said with a smile, "I'm dying."

What is this nonsense--! Ena's pupils tightened and she slashed forward with all her strength.

Bucky laughed proudly, the knife in his hand approached Luffy's neck, and with a strong force——

There was a dazzling light in the sky and the earth, a loud noise fell in Rogge Town, and the lightning with blue light hit the most prominent execution platform.

After the strong light passed, Ena slowly opened her eyes, and heavy rain began to fall in the sky.

There was a long silence in the crowd.

A straw hat fell from the sky and the boy picked it up with one hand. Luffy stood in front of everyone and said with a smile: "You're still alive - you've earned it!"

He is still alive.

In the same town, on the same execution platform, the boy wearing a straw hat miraculously survived.

Before he died, he showed the same smile as the man who changed the world.

In this thunderstorm that seemed to be sent from heaven, it was as if there was some force beyond nature preventing Luffy's death.

"Do you...believe in God..." Sanji was so shocked that the cigarette fell out of his mouth.

"Stop talking nonsense and leave quickly." Although Zoro was also surprised, he quickly put away the knife and said.

There may be gods in the world, or there may not be. But Luffy is probably the only man who walked down alive on the execution platform of One Piece without changing his expression and smiling at death.

Eina raised her lips. She is probably following an incredible captain.

"Oops, if we don't hurry up, we may be trapped on this island by the navy." The four of Ena defeated many navy along the way, but there was still a steady stream of obstacles that slowed down their progress.

"Where's the boat? How's the boat?" Eina asked.

"Usopp and Nami are off." Sanji answered her.

Ena looked back while running. The female marine who just appeared suddenly stopped Zoro. Zoro fought with her and still hasn't caught up.

"That guy Zoro is so slow," Ena said.

Sanji snorted: "Maybe he saw the beautiful navy lady and was slowed down..."

"Wake up, you are the only one who can do this." Eina finally attacked Sanji and began to complain about his nymphomaniac thinking.

"Ena! How can you say that to me!" Sanji said with a hurt expression: "I just said what a normal man would think of!"

No, that's not how a normal man would think. Eina complained silently.

However, the relationship between them is indeed the slowest on the ship. Even Zoro's arrogant face was able to quarrel with her tacitly, but Sanji was a little alienated because of the lost past between them.

The blond man was never a nymphomaniac in front of her, and he would never make fun of her. However, his care and concern for her far exceeds his chivalry towards women, and Ena can often feel him watching her tenderly.

He wanted to get close to her, but he didn't know how to get close to her. And Ena was even more at a loss. Without memory, she seemed uneasy even to accept such an overly gentle kindness.

Maybe she should think about this matter carefully after leaving Rogge Town.

She obviously didn't have the extra energy to think at the moment, because Smoker, who had just parted, appeared in front of them again.

"I said, don't go to the Grand Line unless you defeat me." Smoker stared at Luffy. He witnessed the execution of Gol D. Roger with his own eyes. As a child at the time, he was shocked by the man's calm smile before he died. Today he once again saw the smiling pirate on the execution platform. ——That’s Luffy.

Such unusual weather and heavy rain made all the weapons that were supposed to blow up their pirate ship fail. Even the wind direction was in the direction of the Grand Route. It's as if there is some unknown force helping Luffy to go to the Grand Line.

Although Smoker was reluctant to admit it, he had a super-intuitive sense of crisis for Straw Hat Luffy, who had become a famous pirate in the East China Sea not long after he went to sea, with a bounty of 3000 million.

Even if he staked his name as a naval captain, he would never be allowed to enter the Grand Line.

"Ena, Sanji." Luffy smiled and held on to his straw hat, with a serious look in his eyes that he wanted to have a good fight, "You guys go first."

"Luffy..." Sanji frowned and looked at him, then at Smoker, and finally at Eina.

Eina, however, never took her eyes off Smog. She finally shrugged: "I know. Then I'll leave it to you, Luffy. Don't keep us waiting too long."

"Ah, that's for sure." Luffy said briskly.

"Let's go." Sanji and Eina looked at each other, then ran around Smoker.

"Damn it, as expected, the coastline has been controlled by the navy." When Eina and Sanji finally arrived at the port, they saw that the Golden Meili had been forced to weigh anchor in advance due to the navy's bombing.

Nami was on the boat trying to control the course of the boat, but due to the abnormal weather and turbulent currents, the boat was still getting further and further away from the shore.

Ena and Sanji rushed forward and swept away the pirates who were shooting at the ship.

"Ena! Sanji!" Usopp shouted excitedly at them.

"Tsk, there are too many people." Ena couldn't handle the crowd tactics and shouted at Sanji.

"There is no way! We can only drag Zoro and the others over first!" Sanji was also a little powerless.

With a hiss, several marines who were about to attack Eina and Sanji fell to the ground. They followed the sound and found that Usopp had jumped from the ship and was covering them with long-range shooting in the sea.

While resisting the navy, Ena retreated toward the coastline. Taking advantage of an opportunity, she stretched out her hand to pull Usopp out of the sea. At this moment, Sanji swooped over and kicked away the navy who wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to rush forward.

The three of them stood together, and Eina asked loudly in the wind and rain: "How long can the Golden Meri last?"

"No way! Nami can't control it, and it's getting further and further away from us now!" Usopp shouted.

"It's better than being sunk!" Sanji gritted his teeth, "Now when Luffy comes, we can always find a way!"

Fortunately, Luffy didn't keep them waiting for too long.

An unnatural strong wind blew out of nowhere, almost blowing up everyone on the island. In such a wind, all the fighting was forcibly stopped, and Zoro was running towards them.

"Everyone is here, now let's wait for Luffy -" Before Ena could finish her words, she saw a cannonball-like figure flying towards them in mid-air. Before the person could reach them, two long arms stretched out first. Come over.

"Wait, I have an ominous premonition——" Zoro shouted in a rare panic, but Luffy did not give them a chance to refuse.

The boy laughed and hugged them together, retracted his arms and used the elasticity of the rubber to lead them towards the Golden Merli on the sea!

"Let's go--!!"

"Luffy, you bastard!"

It was simply a more exciting falling feeling than ten roller coasters! However, this crazy move also instantly solved their problem, and Nami greeted their landing with a surprised smile.

Ena didn't feel any pain except the feeling of weightlessness. She rubbed her waist and sat up, and found that they all fell to pieces on the deck. Sanji used his arms to protect her at the last second of falling, so that she did not suffer any pain.

This guy...

Eina smiled at first, with the energy of falling to the limit that she had not recovered from just now, and she felt like she was relieved after a disaster. She grinned and laughed: "We are back! Nami!"

Nami smiled and pulled them up: "Did you see the lighthouse ahead?"

"Oh! I saw it! That's the entrance to the Grand Line, right?" Luffy excitedly rushed to the railing and shouted.

"Yes, that's the guiding light of Upside Down Mountain." Nami smiled and said loudly against the rain, "How to do it? Captain!"

"Even so, in this weather..." Usopp subconsciously worried.

But this time, except for Luffy, everyone else was making the same decision with firm and expectant expressions.

What's there to hesitate about?

What other moment would be more suitable?

Setting off towards a new adventure, only the stormy farewell is the grandest curtain!

"Okay." Zoro brought a wooden barrel, "In order to celebrate that the ship is about to sail into the great ocean, let's have a launching ceremony!"

"Okay!" "Come on!"

Sanji put his right foot first on the barrel: "I want to find allbule!"

Luffy followed closely behind him excitedly: "I want to become the Pirate King!"

Zoro put his feet up with an excited smile: "I want to become a great swordsman!"

Nami also put it up: "I am here to draw a map of the world!"

Usopp looked at them and put his feet on his feet with some trembling: "I... want to become a brave sea warrior!"

The five of them looked at Eina together, and there was still an opening beside Sanji and Zoro.

The silver-haired girl listened to the waves and heavy rain in her ears, and looked at the rain-filled front, which were her companions.

What is her dream...

If you have lost your understanding of "love" and "faith", you can definitely find the answer in the pirate group called Straw Hat.

Then, let her embark on the journey to the sea with them.

Eina finally put her right foot up hard, with swollen emotions in her chest: "I'm trying to find my lost memory!"

"Let's go! To the Grand Line!!"

"oh--!!"

Following their captain's loud shout, the six people raised their legs high together and fell hard together.

In the sweeping wind and waves, the sound of the barrel breaking could be heard clearly.

With the most sincere dreams and courage, they officially set sail towards the prologue of the great legend.
