To the end of the sea [One Piece]
Chapter 40 Sad Duel
The door slowed down infinitely in everyone's eyes, slowly, slowly closing.
Nami sat slumped in front of the door and looked at Luffy in panic: "Luffy, what are you doing! Are you just letting him go?"
The dark-haired boy didn't say a word.
"Aren't you the captain, Luffy! Hurry up—"
The silver-haired girl hugged her gently and stopped her words.
Nami was trapped in Ena's body temperature, closed her eyes and shed tears. She finally pushed Ena away, opened the door, ran out and shouted: "Usopp! Come back quickly! Usopp!"
Chopper cried out Usopp's name.
Eina and Luffy followed silently and walked out, and Zoro finally closed the door.
They stood on the deck, looking at the scarred back.
Usopp suddenly turned his head and said to Luffy: "That ship does belong to the captain... But Luffy, I will return to this place at ten o'clock tonight and use the Merry as a bet. I I want to defeat you and get the ownership of the Meili."
He left these words and left without looking back.
The afterglow of the setting sun gradually disappeared to the sea level, and the dark light fell on the Golden Merrie, which was full of sadness.
Eina raised her head and looked at the smiling lamb.
Are you crying too...Merry.
----------------
Nami persuaded him in Luffy's room, and the black-haired boy covered his face with a straw hat and lay there silently.
Ena and Sanji were sitting in the restaurant. Sanji was smoking a cigarette and putting a coat on Ena.
"I really didn't expect to encounter such a thing..." he said lowly, "What on earth are these two guys thinking."
Eina lay in her arms and said nothing.
Zoro walked in, and Sanji asked him angrily why he didn't just kill Franky's family when they attacked the ship during the day. Zoro replied that he should not get off the ship to buy anything.
The reason why they turned things like this was because they didn't help Usopp keep his money.
"If you two continue to argue, both of you will go out." The silver-haired girl said coldly, "If you have a bad temper, no one will be weaker than the other today."
Sanji immediately shut his mouth. Zoro said angrily: "Today is like this..."
"What's wrong with this situation today?" Ena rarely gets angry at Zoro. She said coldly, "I have enough worries. I don't mind fulfilling my promise to you before they duel." one time."
She stood up without waiting for Zoro to answer: "It's not about money at all. Even without Franky's family, can the Mellie continue sailing? Luffy will still make the same decision, Usopp I still won’t be able to accept it.”
She sighed, "It's just because he failed to protect the money, so the negative emotions broke out in advance."
Both men were silent.
Eina sat down again and looked at the floor sadly.
She is actually blaming herself.
I blame myself for not realizing earlier that Usopp seemed heartless but was actually sad. She herself is a very powerful person, whether it is combat power or mental ability, she is someone who can face blank memories without changing her expression.
But Usopp's words today made her realize that not everyone is as optimistic as Luffy, as goal-oriented as Zoro, and as strong-willed as her.
She didn't want Usopp to leave, but the problems between him and Luffy were too big.
When Nami said "Luffy, aren't you the captain?" she stopped Nami because she felt sorry for Luffy.
The responsibilities and decisions he had to bear were too many and too heavy, so even though she was in pain, she didn't want to accuse Luffy any more.
Night fell quickly.
"Aren't you going out?" Sanji asked Eina, who was sitting motionless in her seat.
"No." She lay down and said gloomily, "I'm not good at facing this kind of scene... and I don't like it either."
The blond man stared at her for a while, then closed the door gently.
I don’t know how much time passed, but it was so quiet that I could only hear the ticking sound from the clock on the wall.
Eina woke up from her drowsy state with a start, stood up and walked out of the room.
"Give him the ship," she heard Zoro say.
The boy standing on the shore pressed the brim of his hat and nodded imperceptibly.
He is crying. This idea came to Ena's mind.
In tears, Chopper put down a few bottles of medicine next to Usopp who collapsed on the ground, and ran back to the ship crying.
Then, in silence, they packed up their belongings and left the Golden Merli overnight.
Ena and Nami booked a room in the hotel, and the boys slept in the two rooms next to theirs.
It's just that Eina didn't fall asleep that night, and she didn't hear Nami's even breathing all night long.
I'm afraid it will be difficult for anyone to sleep tonight.
But they didn't know that their pirate group was not the only one who couldn't sleep tonight.
--------------
The next day, Nami and Luffy went to Uncle Iceberg to discuss buying a boat. Sanji and Chopper went to the street to find Robin, and Eina walked alone on the street.
"Extra! Extra!" A man on the road threw newspapers into the air, "The mayor, Mr. Bingshan, was assassinated last night! The assassination clutches extended to the heroes of the Seven Water Capitals!"
Eina's pupils shrank.
Not only did they suffer a near-destructive fight last night, but the city also faced a crisis that frightened people.
Where did Robin go?
She looked at this prosperous city, and except for memories, her instinct, which had never gone wrong, told her that there was some serious conspiracy approaching the Seven Capitals of Water.
After a few hours passed, Ena suddenly noticed that the way people on the street looked at her changed.
"Hey, that's it, right?"
"The silver-haired beauty... also carries a sword..."
"I've seen her bounty, it's Naraku!"
Ena held Yugiri cautiously.
Then sure enough, the whispering people rushed towards her!
"It's you! The Straw Hat Boys!!" "Asshole, you assassinated Mr. Iceberg! It's unforgivable!"
Eina was startled, jumped up and ran on the roof of the building. There were many people on the road below who came to chase her after hearing her name.
No, that's too obvious.
She jumped down a dark street, pulled out a black coat from the space as quickly as possible, put on a hat, and even added a mustache to her upper lip.
Since retrieving her memories of the assassination in Alabasta, she has always been equipped with a lot of equipment for cross-dressing. After tying up her long silver hair, she immediately changed into a different person.
She returned to the street, and sure enough no one noticed her.
The radio on the street played over and over again, "Please pay attention to all citizens, the water gods will arrive at the water capital at twelve o'clock tonight, everyone should evacuate in advance."
Water gods? Eina stopped a passerby and asked, "What is the radio saying?"
"Ah, you are a tourist." The other party scratched his head, "Our place is swept by a big tsunami once every year, but we are all used to it, and usually everyone will run to higher ground to take shelter in advance. Brother, please find one too. Get the place ready!”
Eina thanked him.
It's really not the right time...there are so many things going on, and there will be a big tsunami late at night.
She began to think about what the people who had just hunted her had said.
Assassination? Straw Hat? How could those few people have the ability to assassinate the mayor of a city? They were all on the boat last night and had no chance to do it...
No, wait.
A chill ran down Eina's back.
She froze in the middle of the road.
Possessing the ability to assassinate...the members who were absent last night...
The answer can only point to one.
She frowned tightly, feeling a storm in her heart.
Why would Robin do this? ? She looked at the mayor's building and remembered that Luffy and the others were going to the iceberg.
She immediately ran towards Bingshan's office building.
A bustling crowd gathered in front of the mayor's building. Citizens spontaneously came to visit the iceberg, but were blocked by the guards.
Ena used her sneaking ability and entered the courtyard through the small door.
She looked up and saw a big hole in Bingshan's window.
Might the mayor not be able to fix the windows...?
She took off the disguise on her face, stepped on a few footholds, and jumped up to the window, but she didn't find Luffy's figure.
When the man lying on the hospital bed saw her, he raised the gun in his hand vigilantly: "Are you Naraku?"
"My name is Ikegawa Ena, Mr. Iceberg." She squatted on the window sill without going in. "Have you seen my captain?"
"If you are talking about Straw Hat Boy, he has just left." Bingshan stared at her, "What, are you going to take this opportunity to kill me completely?"
Ena doesn't have Luffy's good temper. She has always been known for being annoying. Then she laughed: "With all due respect, Mr. Bingshan, if I want to kill you, your gun will not do anything."
Bingshan's indifferent expression cracked for a moment.
"We didn't do that thing, and I have no intention of confirming it." Eina even sat on the window sill and said quietly, "I just ask you, are you sure that what you saw last night was Nicole... Robin?"
"Of course." Bingshan said, "So anything you say is unconvincing to me."
Eina took two steps into the room. Bingshan tensed her back and the safety bolt on the gun was already open.
"What did you say to Luffy?" She looked around the room casually, her eyes fell on the documents on the table, and she quickly turned away.
"I want him to bring Nicole Robin to see me." Bingshan clenched his fists, "I warn you not to come closer, my guards are outside the door."
"Don't be nervous, I've got what I want to know." Eina retreated to the window, "It's common sense that you don't believe us, but please give us a chance to prove ourselves."
She saluted: "I wish you a speedy recovery."
The second before she retreated from the window, the door of Bingshan's room was knocked open, and a group of foremen rushed in: "Mr. Bingshan! Are you okay?"
Eina jumped back, and at the moment she fell, she caught a glimpse of a figure in the group of people.
Her heart almost stopped beating, and her blood almost flowed backwards in the weightless state.
But she has gradually moved away from the building.
----------------
Ena found Nami, Luffy, Zoro and Chopper on a rooftop rooftop.
"Ena! Where have you been!" Chopper stood up quickly when he saw her, "Are you in any danger?"
"No," she gasped, "Where's Sanji?"
"Sanji and I just met Robin... She told us that she would never meet us again..." Chopper said sadly, "And she admitted that she was responsible for the assassination. Sanji said that he was going to do one. Let me meet you first."
"What's wrong with you?" Zoro looked at her slightly pale face, "It's like you've hit a ghost."
Even Eina's fingers were trembling. She sat down and swallowed: "It's a ghost. There is a ghost in this matter."
"What did you say?" Zoro sat up straight.
"I don't know why Robin helped them assassinate, but there is another mastermind behind this matter." Eina said solemnly, "Luffy, after you went to the iceberg, I also went there. In the iceberg On the table is a list of recent visitors... This week alone, he has refused four visits from government officials and been forced to accept two interviews... Would a normal mayor be so entangled by the government? "
"You mean this matter is controlled by the government?" Nami opened her mouth in surprise.
"Not only that." Eina closed her eyes in pain, "I saw a man in the foreman of Carrera Company...I forgot who he was...but, but..."
In the end, she could only summarize it as: "That man is very dangerous, and something is wrong. There is a man next to Bingshan who makes me feel very wrong!"
"What does something wrong mean, Ena?" Luffy asked doubtfully.
Ena couldn't tell.
The man wearing a black top hat with a dove on his shoulder...
Where on earth had she seen him...
[Mr. Kuzan, I have never seen that person]
[Don’t ask too many questions that shouldn’t be asked, Ena]
[Is it the navy newly transferred to the headquarters? 】
[That guy is from the special department, you don’t need to know him]
That fleeting figure... was as faint as a feather in her memory, but in this incident it landed on her heart like a heavy bullet.
Luffy didn't ask any questions and just made his decision.
It was impossible for Robin and the government to fail, but the first assassination failed. It was probably to deliberately let Mr. Iceberg live to identify the murderer and let the Straw Hats take the blame.
Then, there will most likely be a second assassination tonight.
"The cause of all this is Robin. We will go to Mr. Iceberg tonight. We must catch her and ask her clearly!"
