To the end of the sea [One Piece]

Eina and Zoro took the man who was injured by the Tianlong people to the hospital.

"This island is really disgusting." They walked out of the hospital and Zoro said in a deep voice.

Eina remembered the first thing the doctor asked after seeing the wounded man, which was "Is this man not a slave? If so, it would be more cost-effective to sell a new one."

Then he was frightened by the murderous intent of the two of them and went to treat them without saying a word.

Ena felt very tired.

First it was the Celestial Dragon, and then it was the man smoking a cigar.

"Let's go back to the boat, okay?" she asked him tiredly.

Zoro nodded: "I'm bored too, let's go."

They walked towards tree area No. 1.

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

As Zoro tried to turn to other places countless times and Ena scolded him countless times while dragging him back, they gradually approached the No. 1 tree area.

"Next time I follow you out, I will be the green algae head." She said tiredly.

"I didn't ask you to follow me! Also! What are you using that!" Sauron Shark Teeth yelled.

"But if no one follows you, it will take more effort to find you in the end..." Eina sighed, "Forget it, let's trick others into doing this job next time. I won't do it anyway."

Seeing that the two were about to quarrel again, a familiar shout suddenly came from the sky.

"Ena - Zoro -!!"

They looked up and saw Dibaru's Flying Fish Knights, with Luffy riding on top calling them.

"Kemi has been captured!!" Luffy shouted, "Come up quickly! We have to go to Auction Hall 1 to rescue her!"

What? Kemi was actually taken away? Eina immediately frowned.

The next second, she and Zoro were each grabbed by an outstretched hand.

The two looked at each other and saw the same emotion in each other's eyes.

Grass.

Again.

They shouted and flew into the air, and Eina and Zoro reached an unprecedented agreement.

Let me kill my captain——!

No, I'll do it! ! !

When Eina finally caught her breath on the flying fish, she asked Luffy: "What's going on?"

As Luffy told her story, her expression became more and more gloomy.

This island still acquiesces to the behavior of human auction, and the rare mermaids and fishmen are their targets.

When they and Kemi were playing in the amusement park, the mermaid girl who had just realized her dream of riding a Ferris wheel was smiling happily one second, and was taken away by the kidnapping group the next.

Sanji contacted Dibalu's Flying Fish Knights from before, expanded the search scope, and finally got the news about Auction House No. 1, where Kemi was.

Eina lowered her head without saying a word, her long silver hair blocking her expression.

Zoro rubbed his temples and sat up, noticing that she was shaking.

"Hey, what's wrong with you?" He frowned and looked over.

The silver-haired girl pinched her arm and suddenly took out a robe from the space to wrap herself tightly.

Zoro moved closer and heard her whisper something in a broken voice.

"Don't look at me...don't..."

She seemed to be talking in sleep, and her whole body was getting cold.

The green-haired swordsman frowned and stared at her intently.

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

They quickly approached the auction house.

Following Luffy's instructions, Flying Fish crashed directly into the door, breaking a hole in the wall.

They stood up amidst the rubble and instantly became the focus of the audience. The Straw Hat Pirates had already arrived here, sitting in the audience and looking at them in surprise.

The person being auctioned on the stage was Kemi, who was locked in a bubble cage.

When Luffy saw her, he ran down the stage without saying a word, with Hachi following behind and trying to stop him.

Ena's legs suddenly softened and she looked at the auction stage with her whole body trembling.

Sanji was startled and rushed up to support Ena: "What's wrong with you? Ena!"

She stared blankly at the light, her darkest nightmare emerging from the depths of her heart.

The silver-haired little girl huddled in the cold iron cage, naked, looking at the dark crowd under the stage in panic.

They were looking at every inch of her skin, marveling at the wonder of the Creator.

She is so stunning even as a child, and you can imagine how beautiful she will be when she grows up.

Darkness and light were like demons devouring her reason. She shed tears and wanted to call her parents' names, but she knew that they were no longer alive.

Who can I call?

Who can I call?

Finally, the man in the helmet leaned down towards her and showed a smile that she would never forget in her life, a smile that was engraved in her bones and blood.

He opened his mouth, smiled, smiled.

He said something.

She saw his lips moving, but there was no sound in her ears.

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

Sanji shook the silver-haired girl desperately, and finally stopped her from pinching him frantically.

She was shaking violently as if she was in a nightmare, tears bursting from her eyes, her red eyes looking straight ahead without focus.

"Ena! Wake up!" The blond man was frightened and panicked. He didn't know what happened to her.

On the other side, Hachi exposed his other four arms in order to hold Luffy down.

The venue suddenly became commotion, and people covered their mouths and looked at him in disgust.

"How could it be a fish man..."

"It's so disgusting. It has six arms."

"Why did the fishmen appear on land..."

Luffy broke away from Hachi, and the octopus man looked around helplessly, with malice and discrimination coming from all directions.

People began to attack him until Xiaoba was dying.

A Celestial Dragon in the front row suddenly rushed over. It was the stupid man Eina and Zoro had met on the street before.

He caught Xiaoba and proudly said to the other two Tianlong people: "Look! I caught a fish-man! This is my new mount!"

Luffy stopped.

The black-haired boy slowly turned his head.

There was a frightening coldness all over his body, and the veins in his fists were exposed.

He climbed up the steps and approached the Tianlong man step by step.

People started looking at him in horror.

"He can't..."

"That's a Celestial Dragon..."

"Hey, are you crazy, that person?"

He walked towards the Tianlong people and raised his fist.

The Celestial Dragon shot at him in horror, but Luffy easily dodged it by turning his head.

He didn't hesitate for a moment.

Even if you know the consequences, even if you know that it is an insurmountable prohibition.

But everything here is the darkest absurdity in the world.

Eina suddenly held her breath and looked at the boy without blinking.

This scene seemed like an infinitely slowed-down shot, and every frame was forever engraved in her mind.

Until many years later, when she thinks about it again, she will show a moving smile.

"That boy...my captain."

"He redeemed my soul."

With uncontrollable anger, with rebellion that breaks through the absurdity of the world, with all impossible hopes...

The boy wearing the straw hat punched the Celestial Dragon.

The whole place was silent.

+ + +

Luffy flexed his fists and raised his head to look at the Straw Hat Pirates who were already standing in a row.

"Sorry." The young man's voice was cold but firm, "I heard that beating this guy will be very troublesome."

Zoro put back the half-unsheathed sword: "You struck too quickly, and I didn't even have the chance to strike him."

Sanji blew out a puff of smoke.

Nami rushed up to ask about Hachi's injury, but the fishman said with difficulty: "You guys are too messy... you will cause big trouble!"

The orange-haired girl smiled: "But that's Luffy, there's nothing we can do about it."

None of them blamed their captain.

Eina stood up and walked towards Luffy tremblingly.

She walked toward him, gradually breaking into a trot, and finally leaping.

She hugged the boy tightly.

Luffy didn't know what happened to her, so he held her waist and found that her body was so cold that there was almost no warmth.

"Ena...?" He asked her tentatively.

The silver-haired girl hugged his neck tightly as if she had grasped the last straw, and finally burst into tears.

She cried silently, and no one except Luffy heard her cry.

But her whole world heard it.

All her past, all the dark past, heard the resurgence of flowers in that girl's heart.

A voice came from far away from the end of time and space.

"You've got the one you can look forward to."
