To the end of the sea [One Piece]

Chapter 33 Eternal Partner

After a night's sailing, they got closer to the east coast the next morning.

The way was blocked by a dozen warships in front of him.

"Sure enough, it is impossible for the navy to let go of the search of the coastline." Ena said.

"Then what to do! Let's go quickly!" Von Clay pointed in the opposite direction to the east coast in a panic.

But no one in the Straw Hat Pirates moved. Everyone looked at the approaching warships ahead and made preparations for the battle.

"Are you kidding me? That's a dozen warships! Do you have any reason to go over there?" Von Clay said jumping.

"Because we have to pick up our companions." Luffy put his hand on his straw hat and smiled energetically into the wind.

The man with serious mood swings was once again moved to tears by Luffy.

He jumped onto his boat and shouted, "Listen up—!"

"Use all your strength to cover the retreat of Little Straw Hat and the others!!"

Luffy and the others, as well as Von Clay's men, were shocked. Von Clay shed tears and said with pride: "For friendship and companions... we will not hesitate to fight with the navy to the end... If we don't help people like this..."

"Will you be able to eat tomorrow!!"

Everyone was shocked!

"Yes!! Lord Von Clay!"

--------------

Von Clay then used his Mimic Fruit ability and the crew's disguises to fool the navy into thinking that the Straw Hat Pirates were on their ship, so they gave up chasing the Golden Merry and instead pursued Von Clay's ship.

It wasn't until they got closer that they realized they had been deceived, but by this time Luffy and the others had already broken through the encirclement and headed into the distance.

"Kogure——!" Luffy shouted as he lay on the side of the ship and stretched out his hands.

The man in the ballet costume opened his hands openly and pointed the "bonmu" on the coat behind him in their direction.

"It's the same way for a man, and it's the same way for a woman." He stood on tiptoes and danced a desperate dance amidst the light and shadow of the sword.

"And in the end, that's how you behave." He kicked away a group of marines with an elegant kick.

"This is a pirate's way of survival... and it's also a way of friendship!!"

"I really didn't expect that, that person." Ena sighed softly as she watched Luffy, Usopp and Chopper burst into tears.

"What will happen to him..." Sanji frowned and asked worriedly.

"I hope he can escape." Eina said solemnly, "otherwise..."

If you were captured alive and imprisoned in Impel Down City, it wouldn't be a good place.

But they had no time to think about Von Klee's future because they had already arrived at the agreed-upon east coast.

As we get closer to the coast, the princess' speech ceremony begins, coming from the distant capital of Albana.

They heard a voice belonging to Weiwei.

"You heard it..." Usopp said.

"Since Weiwei's speech started on time, it means..." Eina lowered her eyes.

"She is in Albana now." Nami turned her head, "It seems that the choice has been made."

"What are you talking about!" Luffy stared at the port and said eagerly, "How could she not come? Let's go ashore and look for her!"

Eina didn't say anything. She thought from the beginning that Weiwei would not choose the path of being a pirate.

However, after a moment, she was so shocked by the figure in front of her that she was speechless.

She was the first one to spot the blue-haired girl standing on the shore, and then Usopp yelled: "Isn't that Vivi!"

"Yoho! Vivi!!" Luffy shouted happily, "Nami, hurry up, drive the boat back!"

But Weiwei shouted into the microphone the next second: "I'm here to say goodbye!"

The girl who was supposed to give a speech on top of the capital city, stood on the coast with a loudspeaker phone and said goodbye to her friends with a voice that could be heard throughout the country.

"I'm sorry, Luffy, everyone!" Weiwei dressed up for her speech today, with her ponytail hanging down and her holy dress fluttering in the wind.

"Although I really want to go on adventures with you..." Tears welled up in her eyes, "But, I really like this country more..."

The blue-haired girl had a happy smile on her face, but more and more tears were accumulating.

"if…"

"If we could meet again..."

"Would you like to call me 'companion'?"

By the end of the story, the girl was crying.

Luffy opened his mouth to answer her, but Ena unceremoniously pinned him to the ground with one hand.

"You can't answer her." She said solemnly, "The navy is already chasing her. If you answer her, it will prove that the Princess of Alabasta is related to pirates. In this case, she will become a sinner."

"That's right." Nami turned around in a low voice, "Just say goodbye silently."

Weiwei looked at the pirate flag fluttering in the distance with tears, but received no response for a long time.

However, the next second her eyes widened in surprise.

They stood neatly in a row at the stern of the ship, raising their left arms in unison.

It was the mark that had been agreed upon to represent companions.

The Straw Hat Pirates answered her in this silent way——

As long as you have this sign, you can go anywhere in the world.

You are our eternal companion.

------------

The Golden Merli gradually moved away until the shape of Alabasta could no longer be seen.

"What an incredible experience." Eina took a long breath and leaned on the railing. "Imagine that we prevented a big scandal. Pirates seized power in the kingdom or something."

"But actually, for Luffy, he just defeated a bad guy named Crocodile." Nami sat on the recliner next to her and laughed.

After they moved smoothly, Nami asked everyone to inspect the hull and repair the previously damaged areas.

Usopp took out a hammer and tool box and started tinkering with bells and nuts. Chopper switched to his strong form to help move things.

Sanji went to pack the ingredients, and Zoro went to pack the cabin.

Luffy used the rubber body to bounce between the masts, checking for damage.

Nami also confirmed that the navigation instruments were intact.

After Eina checked the bow and deck, she straightened up and found that everyone was slumped side by side in front of the railing on the second floor, each with a head sticking out from the gap.

Except Zoro.

She walked over curiously and was pulled into their lineup by Uso.

Eina lay on the floor with her hands hanging down in imitation of theirs, but her expression was incompatible with theirs.

"So lonely -" everyone shouted feebly.

"What are you doing! Don't look like you're about to die, okay!" Zoro shouted angrily.

"But it's so lonely without Vivi -" Luffy said softly in a long tone.

"Since you are so reluctant to let her go, why not force her to take her on board!" Zoro said loudly and speechlessly.

"Barbarian!" Chopper said.

"It's so bad!" Nami cried.

"Green algae head." Sanji said with dead eyes.

"Damn straight man!" Eina said excitedly.

"Three-sword style." Luffy pouted.

"Hey Luffy, Santo-ryu doesn't seem to be a curse word." Usopp finally gave in to his desire to complain and broke the formation and said.

"Ah, really, that four-sword style."

"It's no use even adding a handful. If I say you should scold me, I'll just call you stinky natto..."

A cross exploded on Zoro's head, and he shouted unbearably: "Stop it, you bastards!! And why are you so excited!"

Eina stood up and said: "Although I don't know what's going on, of course I must seize the opportunity to scold you."

Zoro felt that he had imagined the scene of sharpening his sword towards Ena in his mind.

While they were making a fuss, suddenly the cabin door opened.

There was an uninvited guest that no one expected.

The black-haired woman walked to the deck as naturally as possible and said in a casual tone: "It seems that she has left the island."

The tone is like asking you if you have eaten today casually!

But it seems like you shouldn’t be here! ! !

For a moment, everyone panicked. Zoro tensed up and pulled out the knife. Nami and Chopper were crying and running around like headless chickens. Usopp took out a loudspeaker and hid behind a pillar.

"Enemy attack...Enemy attack..."

Eina frowned and tilted her head calmly.

She didn't even hold onto Yugiri, but slowly walked to her and stood in front of her: "When did you get on the boat?"

"It's always been there." Robin Yun lightly bent down and took out Nami's lounge chair, opened it skillfully and sat down: "I don't know which of you two clothes this is, I borrowed it to wear."

"It's my clothes!!" Nami Sharktooth yelled, and then she timidly raised the weather stick and took a step back.

The flower fruit ability was activated instantly, and several hands emerged from Nami and Zoro's bodies, disarming them easily.

Robin didn't use his ability on Eina.

Having fought against each other, they all know that no one can get an advantage in the instant breath.

What's more, Ena didn't even take up arms against her.

"What on earth do you want to do!" Luffy asked loudly.

"Have you forgotten, Monkey D. Luffy?" Robin's slightly deep voice sounded gently, "You let this lady do something very excessive to me, so shouldn't you take responsibility?"

Something excessive. Be responsible.

Sanji looked at Eina like a thunderbolt.

Eina instantly understood what was going on in this guy's mind. A cross appeared above her head and she punched him directly.

Where is this going!

"Excessive things? What are you talking about!" Luffy shouted confused, "What exactly do you want from me?"

The black-haired woman leaned forward slightly, showing an expression that was half-smiling.

"Let me... be your companion."

The whole place was silent.

"At that time, you asked this lady to save me who wanted to die... This is your crime." Robin said, "I have nowhere to go now. So, just let me stay on your ship."

"What, that's what it is." Luffy said calmly, "Okay, that's fine."

"What!!!!" All Shark Teeth except Eina were furious.

"It's okay, this guy is not a bad person." Luffy turned his head and gave them a calm smile.
