To the end of the sea [One Piece]

When Ena and Sanji Chopper returned to the ship, they learned a bad news from Zoro.

"After the boatman from Carrera Company came over to see Meili... he said that he couldn't repair it no matter how much money he spent." The green-haired swordsman said softly with a sad look on his face.

They were all stunned for a moment.

It took Eina a long time to find her voice: "Wait...that means...it is impossible for the Meili to sail again?"

Sauron nodded.

Chopper and Sanji were also in disbelief: "How come... we are still sailing well today..."

Eina looked blankly at the little sheep's head that was fixed by Usopp with an iron sheet.

Usopp is undoubtedly the person who loves and cares about Merry the most on the ship, and Luffy’s favorite place to stay is also above Merry’s head. In their eyes, Meili is almost a living lamb, and they always call her name affectionately.

Although she doesn't have the same deep feelings as Usopp, she usually only lives on the ship and doesn't have a deep sense of it.

But in fact, it was like a home, taking them on sailing adventures to every new place. After the battle adventure, she knew that there would always be a lamb waiting for them silently.

Come back, come home. We are going to the next place for adventure.

The corners of Meili's ever-changing mouth were raised softly, but Eina knew that it might already be suffering unimaginable pain.

There are some things that I can't always remember until we are about to separate.

"Even if we can find a new ship to sail on..." she said softly, "What about Merry?"

"That's what the captain has to decide." Zoro sighed.

The sad atmosphere had not yet dissipated from their hearts, and Nami returned to the ship carrying a box alone.

"What's wrong, Nami?" Eina was the first to notice the girl's anger and panic, and ran up to ask her.

Nami's pupils tightened and trembled slightly, and she said in a low voice: "We went to change the money...but..."

"Usopp was injured by the Franky family... and most of his money was robbed..."

She raised the box in her hand: "Only my share is still there."

Ena felt that the fire in her heart was rising all of a sudden!

The other three people immediately turned gloomy, and Zoro whispered: "Where is he now?"

Nami took them to the street where Usopp fainted, but there was no one there.

"How could it be... He was obviously too injured to move..." Nami panicked, "Maybe someone took him away..."

"No, look here." Eina knelt down and carefully inspected the blood on the ground, "He got up and walked by himself."

"Nami." The silver-haired girl stood up with condensed murderous intent all over her body, "Do you know where the Franky family is?"

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

Nami went back to the boat to see something alone, and the four of Ena met Luffy on the way to Franky's House.

Then the five people saw...the dying Usopp who was thrown at the door.

Ena's five fingers instantly formed into a fist, and angry veins appeared faintly. She didn't say a word, and together with Luffy and the others, she suppressed the murderous intent that shot up into the sky - and punched the door open.

"Who?!" "What's going on!" "Who is so bold!!"

The people inside seemed to be celebrating. After being disturbed, they looked towards the door in shock and anger, and were stunned to death.

"That, that is..."

"Straw Hat Luffy...pirate hunters Zoro and Naraku..."

"No, don't be afraid of them!" Someone yelled, "Aren't they that good-for-nothing accomplice with the long nose? There must be nothing to be afraid of! Let them see how powerful Franky's House is!"

This confidence disappeared after Luffy punched through the tallest armored man among them.

The French family realized at this time that they seemed to have really messed with someone they shouldn't.

"Yes...I have something to say!" they said tremblingly, "Don't you just want the 200 million Baileys! But the owner of the house, Brother Franky, has already taken the money to buy things! Even if you demolish this place, I can’t get your money back!”

Ena slashed through the air, and the person who spoke fell down.

Luffy suppressed his anger and said coldly: "Stop talking."

"We're not here for this." He punched a bunch of boatmen away.

"Ah ah ah ah run quickly!! From the back door!"

Sanji took a few leaps, stopped them before they could leave, and sent them flying into the sky with a flying kick.

"Left window! Left window!"

Chopper used Angle Strengthening to prevent them from taking a step forward.

"The little door on the right!!!"

Eina held a sword in her arm and smiled sinisterly: "Do you want to try the consequences of going over here?"

The leading man seemed to see their tragic future.

The five of them showed no mercy, and even Luffy said, "I will make your bones disappear." Ena vented all her anger in her sword moves, and soon the place was razed to the ground.

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

After everything fell silent, Chopper immediately ran to heal Usopp.

Luffy stood on top of the high ruins, looking at the sea without saying a word.

"Go back first." Sanji lit a cigarette. "The only way to deal with the money issue is to wait for the man named Franky to come back."

"Luffy?" Eina called to the black-haired boy who stood upright.

Luffy didn't look back.

Ena suddenly felt a little sad in her heart. She looked at his unkind figure and tasted a hint of loneliness.

"About the ship." He said softly, "I have decided."

Her heart skipped a beat.

That sentence sounds bland and breezy, but it contains too many sad things.

Even if he is an idiot on a daily basis, when faced with the fate of the pirate group, he is the one who makes the final decision.

No matter how much fun they play, he is also their captain.

But the captain's responsibility is more than just responsibility.

That is a heavy growth that is carried on the shoulders of a young man. When faced with the farewell he has to make, he needs to be more determined than anyone else.

Ena sighed, suddenly hoping that Usopp wouldn't wake up for the time being.

She couldn't imagine what would happen when he woke up and faced such an ending.

Zoro also understood what Luffy meant and said in a deep voice: "Let's go."

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

After they returned to the ship, Sanji suddenly whispered: "Sister Robin still hasn't come back."

The setting sun dyed the sea surface a dark golden red, and the Straw Hat Pirates had never experienced such a low-pressure moment.

One companion is missing, another is seriously injured in bed, their boat is about to be separated from them, and a huge amount of money is missing.

Ena doesn't like this atmosphere very much.

Just thinking about how Usopp might react to Merry when he wakes up makes her feel uncomfortable all over.

It's hard for her to tolerate the negative energy of her companions because of anything.

So she took the lead and grinned: "Cheer up a little, everyone! Robin may have something to do, and Chopper also said that Usopp is not in danger! If he sees our sad faces when he wakes up, You thought something was wrong with us! This is not okay!"

She turned to Nami: "Don't worry about the money! If Franky doesn't spend it, we'll beat him up and take it back. If he spends it, we'll force him to pay it back! Even this won't work, I'm very capable of making money. You’ll get your money back soon!”

Nami smiled gratefully at her.

Ena knew that she just felt like she was comforting her, but she wanted to say that she could really double the 100 million Baileys she had left.

But she didn't say anything, just smiled back.

This kind of smoothing things over and adjusting the atmosphere is usually done by Usopp, while Eina is usually responsible for complaining and insulting people.

But this time she apparently did well. Luffy put his hat on happily and said, "Yes, Sanji, please make some food. I'm hungry, and I can eat something when Usopp wakes up."

Sanji rolled up his shirt: "Okay, Ena, please remember to call me when Usopp wakes up."

"Do not worry."

For a while, everyone was busy again, and it seemed that they had really left their worries behind.

Ena felt a little more relaxed, but her heart felt even heavier.

Robin is carrying something very dark. No one on this ship knew, they just felt that Robin's life experience was very tortuous.

In fact, to be honest, she didn't know that she had lost her memory.

But her subconscious was telling her that Robin's past was far more obscure than she let on.

And ever since she met Qing Pheasant, she had been feeling a big stone in her heart, which was far more difficult than she let on. Her excessive knowledge of the navy and her familiarity with the general at the navy headquarters forced her to face a fact.

Did she ever do the navy.

But this doesn't make sense. According to what Ace told her, she only said she wanted to join the navy before she separated from him two years ago. Before that, she had been working as a pirate hunter.

Where did she find the timeline to join the navy? Are you still familiar with the admiral?

Everything about her life experience is messy, almost beyond the realm of common sense. When she was thinking wildly, she even came up with some explanation for the strange gods, such as parallel spaces and the like.

Don't think too much about this kind of thing, otherwise it will easily drive people crazy.

"Usopp is awake!" Chopper's happy voice interrupted her thoughts, and she hurried to the kitchen to call Sanji.

When they ran into the room, Usopp was already sitting on the bed wrapped in bandages.

"Usopp! How are you?" Eina asked him with a smile.

"Ena! I'm fine..." Usopp was happy for a second when he saw her, but quickly regained his expression: "So Luffy...can 100 million beli be repaired? Isn't it not enough?"

Ena pursed her lips.

The atmosphere in the room instantly dropped to freezing point.

Only Usopp was still calculating unconsciously: "The hull of the Merry also needs to be repaired...and the deck...it will cost a lot of money, right?"

"Usopp." Luffy interrupted him and said in a very relaxed tone, "I decided to change my ship to sail."

Eina turned her head.

"What..." Usopp didn't react to Luffy's words for a moment and looked at him blankly.

Luffy even said it with a smile: "The Merry has been with us for a long time and helped us a lot...I have already seen it. If you pay 100 million beli, you can buy a good second-hand one from Uncle Iceberg." Boat…"

"Wait a minute, wait a minute!" Usopp stretched out his hands and waved, "Please Luffy... your joke is too much. Hey Nami, why don't you talk about him quickly? The captain is such nonsense. The Eight Paths are not good..."

Nami looked away sadly.

Chopper stretched out his little hoof and pulled down the brim of his hat, wishing he could retract his face into the hat.

Despair began to appear in Usopp's eyes. He looked around and looked at Eina as if grasping for life-saving straws: "Ena, please say something..."

Her heart hurts.

Eina would not tremble or be afraid when facing a terrifying enemy, but at this moment she really wanted to escape.

Usopp was suddenly forced to recognize a fact.

Luffy wasn't kidding.

He then stood up excitedly: "So why? It's really because I lost the money that it couldn't be repaired, right? Is that so? Luffy!"

"This has nothing to do with that kind of thing!" Luffy finally couldn't keep the smile on his face and shouted angrily.

"Why is that?!" Usopp's eyes were bloodshot and he yelled angrily, "Are you taking care of my feelings? If not, tell me the reason and listen! Luffy!"

"Wait a minute, you two!" Zoro couldn't stand it anymore and stopped him, "What's the use of arguing? Calm down and talk!"

"The captain said so calmly that he wanted to change ships, how can you tell me to calm down?!" Usopp yelled.

"Usopp, you can't be so excited... Your injury is not healed yet and you need to rest..." Chopper said anxiously, waving his little hand.

"I don't care about my body or anything!" Usopp slapped the ship price list out of Luffy's hand, "Why Luffy! I won't accept it if you don't give me a reason!!"

Luffy gritted his teeth and finally shouted out the reason.

Usopp's legs weakened and he knelt on the ground.

"What did you say…"

"The Merry ship can't be repaired, no matter what, it can't be repaired." Luffy's voice was trembling, "otherwise why would I say such a thing!"

There was silence.

"Were you persuaded by those ship repairmen you just met for a day, and then came back like this?" Usopp lowered his head and trembled, "Is this the way this ship exists in your heart? You just risked it together. Do you not want to save your comrades who live and die together?"

He dragged his injured body and crawled towards the door: "Don't listen to those people... I will repair the Meili. It doesn't matter. Just like always, everyone comes and helps me. By the way, there is not enough wood." …”

"Usopp, are you a ship repairman!" Luffy said angrily, "Can you judge! The Merry can no longer reach the next island!"

"Luffy, stop talking..." Nami waved.

"You would rather believe the words of those ship repairmen than believe in the strength of the Merry..." Usopp stood up angrily and grabbed Luffy's collar, "What are you talking about here pretending to be a captain! I really misjudged you. Got Luffy!"

No matter how much Eina felt sorry for Usopp, she couldn't accept his behavior at this time.

"Usopp, Luffy also..."

"Stop talking Ena!" Luffy waved his hand, "This is my decision! No matter what you say, I will definitely change the ship!"

The two people refused to give in to each other, and it had reached a fever pitch.

"If I were asked to abandon my injured comrade, I would not continue sailing! Luffy, you are already excited about the new ship! Why do you care about the Merry?"

"If you're not satisfied with my decision, get me out of this boat—"

A loud bang.

Sanji couldn't bear it and kicked Luffy into the ground.

"Asshole..." The blond chef panted slightly and said angrily, "Calm down before you talk! What nonsense did you just want to say!"

Luffy sat up from the shattered floor and held up his straw hat in a tired voice: "I'm sorry...I just accidentally..."

"It's okay Luffy, that's what you really mean." Usopp suddenly became extremely calm and slowly sat up straight.

"What did you say!" Luffy glared.

Ena sometimes really wishes her intuition could be duller.

She almost wanted to step forward and take Usopp's hand.

She predicted what he was going to say.

Don't...don't say it...Usopp...

But the long-nosed boy stood up with deep sadness and determination: "Luffy, you want to be the man who becomes the Pirate King... but I don't have such a lofty goal."

He lowered his head: "I am weak every time I fight... I don't have the irreplaceable abilities of Nami and Chopper, nor am I as powerful as Ena Zoro and Sanji..."

"I'm nothing but a coward."

"Luffy, you don't need weak companions."

He quietly opened the door.

"If you want to abandon the Merry, abandon me too."

"I decided... to quit your group."
