To the end of the sea [One Piece]

Chapter 55 Eternal Night Solar Eclipse

When Ena woke up again, gravel was falling around her.

She was startled and quickly grabbed Yugiri and stood up, only to find that Nami was gone.

She immediately ran towards the source of all the noise, where she saw the zombie Oz with Luffy's shadow fighting everyone.

She gasped.

This zombie, which Moria calls the ultimate weapon, is taller than a building, and it is already dizzying just looking at it from a distance.

She flew forward and found that everyone except Nami and Usopp had been wiped out.

And Oz's fist was falling towards them.

"No--!!" She yelled as hard as she could, but she couldn't save them in time.

A green-blue figure led them away from the crisis before the fist fell.

She landed on the ground and stared blankly at the familiar yet unfamiliar body.

"Luffy?" she asked tentatively.

"Ena." The man who was three times the size of Luffy said in a low voice, "It's me."

Everyone else was surprised too.

But they didn't bother to ask at this time, Ena quickly took Nami and Usopp aside, and Luffy rushed forward and started fighting Oz.

A group of people rushed up, and they learned why Luffy became like that.

The shadow was taken away by Moria. The pirates wandering in the forest knew the secret of Moria's shadow and found 100 shadows and put them into Luffy's body, doubling his strength.

"We have never seen someone who can cast so many shadows..." said a man. "His mental power is as strong as a monster! All our hopes are placed on him!"

The silver-haired girl punched him without saying a word.

Everyone was stunned.

She didn't say a word, raised the knife with a gloomy expression, and stood next to Zoro and the others who were slowly waking up.

"You are too much like a child." Zoro said while wearing a turban and biting the knife.

"It doesn't matter if you say I'm like a child, or if you say it's a woman's sensibility." She raised her chin stubbornly, "I really hate savior-like statements."

Zoro laughed from his nose: "Then let's fight that guy away with Luffy."

"Right on my mind."

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

With the full cooperation of all members of the Straw Hats, Luffy activated Gear 3 and gave Oz the final blow.

Eina gasped, sweat and blood flowing down her head, almost blurring her vision.

She vaguely saw the thick fog on the horizon dissipate, revealing light.

Oops, dawn is coming, but their shadows haven't returned yet.

The pirates who were cheering for Oz's fall to the ground just now saw Moria himself slowly getting up from Oz's body in embarrassment.

The man, who was as pale as a vampire, his eyes bulging, was finally forced to use his special skills.

He made a terrifying and strange cry towards the sky, and all the shadows on the terrifying three masts gathered in his body within a few seconds.

His already tall body suddenly swelled, becoming like a real evil spirit from hell.

"Straw Hat... Luffy!" His voice was distorted with laughter, "How many did you just swallow? Dozens? 100?"

He stretched out his arms toward the sky: "But I am the master of shadows!! My body has the power of thousands of shadows, and you can never defeat me!"

Luffy, who had been temporarily shrunk due to the side effects of Gear 3, stood on the rubble and looked at him, clenching his fists.

He quickly forced himself back to the size of a normal teenager, and his skin color returned to normal.

The pirates tried to escape in panic, but one woman did not move.

It was an ugly woman who was not good-looking, but she looked firmly in the direction of the rising sun and remained motionless.

"Captain Lola! The sun is coming out! We need to take refuge quickly!" Someone called her.

"You should leave first." She said firmly, "Using him as a savior without authorization, and then running away when you see that they have no use value... Are we that kind of rats?"

The woman named Laura puffed up her chest: "This time I am giving up all my hope! And look! Straw Hat and the others haven't given up yet! I won't escape back to the darkness!"

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

Ena and others are trying to stand up.

She suddenly sighed.

"Although it's annoying to be a savior..." She put Yugiri into the scabbard, "but there are always idiots who put you in a dilemma."

"What are you going to do?" Zoro asked her.

She looked at Usopp: "Usopp, is there any salt? The more, the better!"

"We tried just now! But it failed and didn't get into Oz's mouth... That bag of salt is over there!" He pointed in one direction.

She rushed over, picked up the bag of salt, and put it into her own space.

Luffy actually activated third gear again.

"It's too messy, Luffy!" Nami yelled heartbreakingly, "My body won't be able to hold on!"

Eina was about to bite off her back molar.

Stupid captain, idiot boy, simply insane——!

Although she knew that except for Luffy, no one here could save everyone.

I am too weak. she thinks.

The silver-haired girl's eyes were red, and she said coldly to Sanji who was not far away: "Sanji, the fort."

It didn't take him a second to understand what she meant, but the blond man frowned: "What are you going to do? You are no match for Moria!"

"No time!" she shouted, "Come on!"

She ran as fast as she could in the direction of Sanji, who gritted his teeth and raised his leg.

The moment they met, she stepped on her tiptoes and stepped onto his feet.

With his unparalleled kicking power, she flew towards Moria.

She was like a silver cannonball that turned into a stream of light and rushed into the sky, opening her own space domain towards Moria's bloody mouth.

Before Moria could react, an astonishing amount of salt grains poured into his mouth.

He let out a sharp scream and covered his mouth to prevent the overloaded shadows from running away.

Luffy's attack has also arrived.

But the sun had already risen into the sky, and many pirates began to wail - their bodies began to be eroded.

"Luffy!" she shouted with unstoppable momentum, "Leave it to me! Come on!!"

"Okay -!" He gave Moria the final blow to his physical limit.

And she stepped up into the air, using her moon steps to rise into the air.

She stretched out her hands towards the dazzling sun.

Her heart was beating wildly, and even though she was covered in blood, she had already reached her extreme.

But her captain was consuming the battle with his own life.

Her companions have yet to retrieve Shadow.

Can't let the sun affect any of them until then.

The girl, who was so small compared to the things around her, shouted her last prayer to the sun.

【Eternal Night Solar Eclipse】——! ! !

A space as dark as a long night suddenly unfolded, and the sky with a radius of dozens of meters suddenly turned into darkness.

She held the space and could no longer hear any sound.

She has no way of knowing whether Luffy wins or loses, whether Moria lives or dies.

Hold on, hold on until Luffy wins...

As long as he doesn't fall down...

She must not fall!

There was a distant and vague sound of cheering in my ears.

She gradually began to lose consciousness.

At that last second, a hoarse, lung-splitting call that broke through everything reached my ears.

"Ena——!!!!!!"

She fell downwards.

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

After everything was over, the three-mast terror ushered in the long-lost light.

The fog dissipates and everyone can walk in the sunshine openly.

Luffy woke up quickly and jumped up and down saying that he felt no pain at all.

Usopp and others were very puzzled by this, but they could only explain it by saying that a negative makes a positive.

Except for two people.

The blond man stayed in front of the silver-haired girl's bed for two days and two nights.

In the middle of the process, Chopper couldn't bear it and used physical sleep aids on him - knocking him unconscious before letting him rest for a night.

Then soon he woke up and returned to her without saying a word.

Compared to Luffy, Zoro was seriously injured and was unconscious along with Eina.

After they defeated Moria, another Shichibukai appeared in the Three Masts of Terror named Bartholomew Bear.

No one knows what happened after he knocked everyone unconscious.

Two pirates said they saw it at that time.

But the blond chef pulled them aside, and when he came back, both of them were silent.

Robin, who had the ability to eavesdrop, showed a relieved smile and said nothing.

So knowing what happened between Zoro, Luffy, and the bear, only a few people know.

"One or two..." Sanji said in a hoarse voice that only he could hear, "They are all complete idiots."

He gently held the girl's hand and put his forehead against it.

She suddenly moved.

Sanji raised his head in surprise and saw those dark green eyes slowly opening.

After Ena woke up and saw his haggard face, she smiled instead.

"How did you get yourself into this..." Her voice, which was particularly soft because of her weakness, floated in his ears, "We...should have won, right?"

"Yeah." He helped her sit up and moved his lips, "Win."

"That's great." She smiled.

Then the man in front of her hugged her into his arms.

She was a little surprised, but she couldn't care less about her shyness. Because she felt his body trembling.

She tried her best to raise her arms and hug him, and asked in a low voice like she was coaxing a child: "What's wrong...I'm sorry, did I scare you?"

"Yeah." Sanji's voice was dull with a hint of anger, and then it turned into weakness.

"I thought Ena was dead before, in the storm when we were separated." He hugged her tightly, his voice trembling, "You don't remember Ena, so you won't understand... when What a surprise I was when I saw you alive.”

"Because I have lost..., I can't bear any possibility of losing you again." He raised his head hoarsely and looked into her eyes, "I'm scared, Ena."

There was a sour pain in her heart.

"I'm sorry," she said.

He sighed and shook his head.

"I said, you never have to say sorry to me." He stood up, lit a cigarette, and gave her a relaxed smile: "You woke up at the right time, come to the banquet."

Only then did she notice that the dining table in the distance was a celebration banquet for all the survivors, and everyone in the Straw Hats was making a fuss.

A skull with an afro is sitting in front of a piano, playing cheerful music.

She stood up and walked slowly to him.

"That's great," she said.

After seeing her, Brooke happily ended the song: "Oh! Miss Ena! You wake up!"

She nodded: "Can I request a song?"

"of course."

The silver-haired girl was wrapped in bandages and tilted her head with a soft smile.

"Well...I forgot about my amnesia." She saw Brook leaning back in surprise.

Although it has no facial muscles, the skeleton's emotions are surprisingly easy to interpret.

"I don't remember any songs either... so Brooke just plays something," she said.

So he chuckled and played the timeless piece of music.

Ena opened her eyes wide because she had heard this song before.
