To the end of the sea [One Piece]

Chapter 48 Confused Memories

As they gradually approached the water capital, the ship that Uncle Iceberg and the people from Carrera Company came to greet them appeared in sight.

Seeing that they had actually accomplished the impossible feat, the people on the ship cheered.

Luffy was stretching his neck, laughing and waving, when suddenly there was a huge crack from the hull.

Meili, who had long been diagnosed as unable to sail, finally broke into two halves after completing its final mission.

Ena's heart ached.

Under Bingshan's painful persuasion, all of them moved to a small boat. Luffy stood on a smaller boat and lit Merry with his own hands to see it off.

The boy in the straw hat was silent and raised the torch in his hand.

That little flame quickly spread to all parts of the hull, and in an instant it was full of flames.

"Fortunately Usopp is not here, otherwise he would not be able to bear this scene." Luffy said to himself.

Ena and Zoro looked at the masked Sniper King together.

"Are you okay?" she asked him quietly.

"Don't worry about me." Usopp said calmly, "This is a farewell between men at sea, and no tears can be shed."

So she stopped looking at him and turned her head to look at the lamb swaying in the sea of ​​fire.

They have always wondered whether the call they heard from Meili on Judiciary Island was an illusion.

How could a lifeless ship talk?

But a miracle suddenly happened again.

"I'm sorry, everyone." A gentle, even childish voice echoed on the sea.

At that moment, everyone present raised their heads in disbelief.

Fireworks rose into the sky, and snowflakes actually began to fall.

Dots of snow fell on their shoulders, and tears appeared in the eyes of Nami and Chopper.

"I wanted to take everyone to a farther place...I'm sorry..."

"I originally wanted to take risks with you all forever..."

Usopp, who said he would not shed a single tear, wet the scarf under his mask the moment he heard Merry speak.

"We should say sorry, Merry!!" Luffy choked and shouted, "I can't steer, I made you hit an iceberg, and even damaged your sail; Usopp and Zoro are also fools! Always clumsy..."

"But I am very happy." There was a smile in Xiaoyang's voice, "Thank you for cherishing me so much."

"Every day with you...is really...happy!"

Eina finally had tears in her eyes.

In their tears, the ever-smiling little sheep head finally disappeared.

But its smile will remain with the Straw Hat Pirates forever.

Until the last second of its life.

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

After returning to the Water Capital, they slept for two whole days. When they woke up, Ena saw Nami lying in the corner with a heart filled with dark clouds.

"Um...are you okay?" She poked her carefully.

"Ena..." Nami hugged her with tears in her eyes, "What should we do... The boat is gone, the money is gone, the supplies and Bellemere's orange trees were all washed away when the water gods came. Already…”

"Woooooo...!"

Eina couldn't help but rub her short hair: "Cheer up and I'll do a magic trick for you."

"What...?" She raised her head with a look of despair.

Then she watched with wide eyes as Ena took out all the items she mentioned above from her ring! !

Ah, except the boat.

"Ena, I love you!!!!" Nami screamed, picked her up and spun her around three times, then turned to hug her own orange tree, "How can you be so good!! I'm resurrected!! "

Sanji covered his heart at the side: "What...what...Miss Nami and Eina..."

Eina gave it to him unceremoniously.

"I should really knock you on the head when I have time to help you get rid of the yellow waste." She said with disdain, "It's almost overloaded, right idiot?"

"How could it be!" Sanji rubbed his head, "That's not pornographic waste, it's my sincere love for the ladies!"

"Me too?"

Sanji immediately turned red.

"Eina, don't make such a joke!" He waved his hands in panic, "Of course you are different!"

"Hey -?" Eina got playful and approached him and asked, "Why is it different?"

The blond man who usually wanted girls to get close to him now blushed and backed away as if he had encountered a difficult enemy. He also had to be careful that Eina wouldn't hit something and get hurt.

The two people were making a fuss, and the door was suddenly pushed open.

It was Chopper and the others who were out shopping with Robin, who were back.

Ena let go of Sanji and walked over to them and smiled: "What did you buy back?"

"Books! Marshmallows! Sex!" Chopper stood on tiptoes like a child who had returned home and excitedly reported to Eina, "I'm still looking at Robin!"

It seemed that the incident where he and Robin went shopping and lost everyone there still left a little shadow on him.

"I won't leave again," Robin said with a smile.

She completely lost the gloom and defensiveness that had always shrouded her body, and was now looking at Eina and Nami, winking at them.

The girls group laughed together.

The door was rudely pushed open again.

"Aw! Are you all energetic today?" The man wearing only underwear stretched his hands at 45 degrees above his head in his signature pose, "Hey! Not everyone is here?"

"Franky, what are you doing here?" Sanji asked with a frown.

He adjusted his sunglasses and suddenly said seriously: "I have something important to say."

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

"I once vowed not to build ships again." The tall blue-haired man sat down cross-legged and began to talk, "But I couldn't resist my love for ships after all, and when I came to my senses, I had already drawn the design. There is a tree in this world that will not fall when exposed to wind or fire, and it is called the Adam tree."

"I have long heard that the wood from this tree is circulating on the black market, and the price is as high as 200 million."

"Wait a minute, you're not going to buy this thing after taking our money, are you?" Sanji said angrily.

"Listen to me!" Franky said forcefully, "Now I want to use this legendary wood to build a dream ship... Pirate King Gol D. Roger's ship is also made of this wood. I want to build a better ship than that!"

He looked at them, with fire burning in his eyes: "So I want to ask you to help me!"

"After I build this ship..."

"Can you get on my boat and sail the world!!"

He shouted these words with great momentum, but the scene was silent for a moment.

Everyone was stunned and did not realize what he meant.

"You...you mean...you want to give us this ship??!" Nami covered her mouth tremblingly, saying in disbelief.

"That's right." Franky nodded, "Anyway, I bought it with your money...and letting the person I like sit on it is a boatman's dream!"

Then the room erupted in cheers.

This is a sudden surprise! ! While they were still worrying about where to get a new ship, the best wood and shipwrights in the world were delivered to them!

How could this not be exciting?

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

They were still laughing when suddenly there was a loud noise and a man wearing a bulldog hood wearing a navy uniform broke through the wall directly.

They didn't even have time to be on guard when they saw him flying straight away.

Then...he punched him in the head.

Everyone was shocked: "Luffy!!"

Only one person stood there as if he had lost his soul.

Ena felt that she almost stopped breathing from the moment this man broke in.

She stood there blankly, watching the man take off his hood to reveal his gray hair, and listening to Luffy call out that title cowardly and pitifully.

"Grandpa...Grandpa!"

"grandfather??!!"

grandfather.

[It’s great... I’ve always raised disobedient brats, so it’s great to have a granddaughter]

【Hey! Kuzan! I recently gained a granddaughter! 】

[Polusalino, stay away from my precious granddaughter! ! ! ! 】

[Practice hard, kid, I will definitely train you into the strongest navy! 】

[Hey Kuzan, how about Ena go to your place? 】

She bit her lower lip and looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar figure.

[Grandpa, I have never regretted it]

[Grandpa, if one day I am no longer in this world, you must take good care of yourself]

[You’re kidding, why are you so angry?]

She just stood there, out of tune with the noisy crowd.

It seemed like she was the only one left in the world.

Eina clenched her fists, finally turned around quietly and left the room.

She was suddenly... afraid.

When facing Qing Pheasant, she dared to rush up and question his name. When facing Smoker, she didn't even bother to delve into it.

Why is it that she has them in her memory, but they don't recognize her.

But looking at the old man's back, for the first time, Ikegawa Ena's courage to even ask questions disappeared from her lips.

She didn't even have the courage to see his face clearly.

She was afraid to see that she was not in the old man's eyes.

It was a name that seemed familiar to me a thousand times when I said it.

Grandpa Karp.

She finally fell into complete confusion.

What if there is another me in this world, another girl with the same name as me, but a different life.

What is the connection between the life of pirate Ikegawa Ena and the life of navy Ikegawa Ena?

Did she come to her world from a parallel time and space, or were they originally one?

So what is reality and what is illusion in the moment she is in?

But this body once said that I wanted to be in the navy.

Then is she Ikekawa Ena...

The silver-haired girl didn't know that she had fallen into an irreversible cosmic philosophy.

She really just thought she had lost her memory.

If you lose your memory, go find her. There will always be someone who knew her before she lost her memory. But now even the memory fragments are in huge confusion.

She suddenly didn't know in what capacity she should continue.

Eina squatted in the corner and curled up into a ball.

She couldn't even tell who she was, and who could help her.

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

"Ena."

She raised her head and looked over. A figure bent down against the light and called her name worriedly.

She finally saw who it was.

"Sanji..." When she opened her mouth, her voice was filled with confusion and trembling that she had never heard before, and it was so soft that it seemed like it would dissipate in the next second.

Panic filled the blond man's heart.

"What's wrong with you?" He squatted down and asked nervously, "I didn't even notice you ran out alone."

He said: "Are you afraid of the navy? It's okay, that person is Luffy's grandfather, they are not here to catch us."

He didn't expect that this sentence would directly make the girl in front of him burst into tears.

Sanji's whole heart clenched in pain, and he looked helplessly at Eina's tears, which he had never seen before.

He leaned down and held her whole body in his arms.

The man's thin shirt was soon wet with tears. Eina started sobbing silently, and then finally cried out uncontrollably.

She was under too much pressure all the time.

Amnesia, confusion, and even beginning to deny myself today.

She is much more fragile than she appears.

Sanji didn't say a word, he just held her quietly, feeling her petite body shaking from crying.

He stretched out a hand and gently placed it on her beautiful silver hair, stroking it gently.

Just like what she had done to him when he was crying out of fear and suffering from grievance.

He finally held his sun in his arms.

Ena had rarely cried like this in her life. When she finally stopped crying and sobbing and raised her head, her eyes were red and swollen with tears on her face. She looked at Sanji's messy shirt and felt embarrassed.

"I'm sorry..." She lowered her head in shame, "I'll clean it for you."

"It doesn't matter." He said, "It's just a piece of clothing."

He sat down against her and said in a low voice, "Can you tell me what happened?"

Eina was a little out of breath from crying and leaned against the wall to relax for a while.

"Sanji, what if this is all fake?" she said hoarsely.

He frowned: "What are these words?"

She murmured to herself: "My memory is confused... Sometimes I feel like I am another person."

"Or maybe the other person is me."

"I didn't know what I was supposed to do, I didn't even know what I was looking for."

Sanji's brows knitted into knots.

"Ena, do you think the memories you have are real?" he asked her.

The silver-haired girl nodded confusedly, with tentative uncertainty.

The man's slender fingers gently touched her hand.

"Then do you think I am real?"

She nodded.

Sanji smiled softly, took her white, calloused hands and put them in front of his eyes, gently crossing them one by one.

"You appeared in front of me when I was most confused and helpless." He said slowly, "That was the moment closest to the light in my life. It was you who led me out of the darkness."

His eyes were like wine, with intoxicating tenderness: "You are my most cherished light. The memory of being with Ena is my most precious treasure, so I will always keep it in my heart."

"That memory was created with you two, and now I am here, holding your hand." He said, "I will never mistake you, even if you change your soul, or whatever."

"You have always been you, Ena." He smiled and looked into her eyes, "I remember the way you looked at me, your hug, and every habit of yours."

"Although I don't know why it is confused, we can find it slowly. Your memory will definitely have an answer, as long as you don't give up."

The blond man smiled: "I will always be by your side."

"It doesn't matter if you can't find it, it doesn't matter if it's difficult. At least every day you are with us is real, isn't it?"

In this case...it's too foul.

Eina sighed and raised the corners of her mouth.

"Don't tell others that I cried."

"Of course." He stood up, his slender and straight figure outlining a graceful arc in the sun.

He bent towards her: "Your Highness, it's time for us to go to the banquet.
