To the end of the sea [One Piece]

When Shanks woke up, he felt relaxed all over his body.

He turned over and subconsciously hugged the person in his arms to his chest.

He woke up instantly.

He lowered his head and looked into his arms. He saw that the long silver hair was in front of his collarbone, and the girl was sleeping peacefully in his arms.

Shanks was completely stunned.

The memories came back bit by bit. The more he thought about it, the redder his face became. The redder his face became, the more energetic he became. In the end, he closed his eyes and let out a long sigh.

Ruined.

The presence of the person in his arms was so strong that he couldn't think clearly while holding her, so he held his breath and tried to gently pull his right arm out from under the girl.

In the process, the quilt slid down a little, revealing Ena's green and red shoulders. Shanks blushed, remembering the madness last night again.

He... really did.

This kind of thing is inferior to animals.

Before he could figure out how to explain it next, he unexpectedly woke the girl up with just one movement of his arm.

Eina woke up with a splitting headache. It was as if she had dreamed back to the time when she woke up from a month's sleep, but this time when she woke up, the muscles on her body were even more sore than that time.

She took a deep breath and opened her eyes. The girl who was in a half-asleep state even subconsciously leaned against the warm place next to her.

There was a gasping sound above his head.

When she opened her eyes, she saw a chest with clear texture, and a strong arm wrapped around her shoulders as if trying to pull away.

She woke up instantly and looked up with horror on her face.

The red-haired man's face turned red as he glared at him, wishing he could just disappear. The silver-haired girl's expression was dull, and she had obviously lost the ability to think.

The long silence gave both of them enough time to think.

Eina remembered what happened last night. Although she was unconscious, she was semi-awake at several key points.

He sends her back and she...

What did she do - she actually kissed Shanks!

Ena cursed wildly in her heart. She could see that Shanks was almost overwhelmed by guilt, but she knew in her heart that she didn't do anything good yesterday.

Although he is suspected of taking advantage of others.

Ena is not the kind of girl who insists on taking responsibility for someone else, let alone her...

She couldn't lie to herself. At that moment she was conscious.

So this cannot be anyone's responsibility. It was true that she was unconscious, but she didn't feel forced or disgusted now that she was awake. This at least shows...

Maybe it couldn't be called love, but her feelings for him had changed.

Changing in another direction. It's just that what happened yesterday was so sudden that she couldn't react for a while.

So she sighed and opened her mouth: "Shanks..."

"I'm sorry." The man apologized with his head lowered. His arms had left her body and moved back to a safe distance. There was remorse in his voice, which was low and hoarse due to embarrassment. Ena even heard the slightest hint of uneasiness in it.

Just like...he was at that time.

【Wake up...Ena...please】

At that time, he was afraid that he wouldn't wake up, but what about this time?

Shanks was indeed panicked. Only then did he begin to wonder if she would hate all this.

Eina looked at him like this, and suddenly her heart felt so soft.

This powerful man stands at the pinnacle of countless pirates.

He put all his thoughtfulness and vulnerability in front of her.

So she turned his face to look at her and said softly: "Don't apologize, Shanks."

"Don't apologize, don't blame yourself - I didn't mean to blame you."

Shanks opened his eyes and looked at her in disbelief. "But I..."

The two of them were honest with each other. Although they were both nestled under the quilt, Ena looked away embarrassedly when she remembered what had happened: "So, I didn't blame you - it's not your responsibility."

Shanks looked at her shy and averted gaze, and his heart suddenly beat rapidly. He had an even bolder idea that could explain this phenomenon - and he couldn't believe it.

"Ena...so you..."

The girl was so angry at his sudden thick skin that she slapped him in the face: "Don't tell me what I said, put your clothes on first!"

Shanks quickly sat up and quickly put on his clothes. During this process, Eina buried her head in the quilt and got out after he had changed it.

When she moved her legs, she couldn't help but let out a muffled sound. Shanks subconsciously wanted to turn around and ask her what was wrong, but then he immediately reacted.

His whole face turned red again.

+ + +

After Ena changed her clothes, she looked at the two people who were a little uncomfortable, and sighed: "I'm going to take a shower first, Shanks, you go and wash up too."

He wanted to say something, but couldn't think of the right words for a long time. So he had no choice but to nod, close the door and go out.

Shanks was completely unaware of his state when he walked out of the room.

His steps are brisk, his expression is relaxed, his lips are smiling, and most importantly, his red hair looks like he has just woken up and is lazy and messy.

One look at it is enough for a night.

Fortunately, he got up early and met no one along the way. He and several crew members who almost ran into him missed each other, but they still didn't escape when they returned to their room.

Beckman also drank a bit too much yesterday, but he didn't touch the barrel of fatal wine, so his consciousness was normal. He remembered that Shanks hadn't returned to his room, so he got up a little early.

As a result, he happened to bump into someone who was obviously guilty.

Beckman understood everything as soon as he saw this look. He was shocked by how quickly his brother struck, and wanted to laugh at him for being such a tough talker before.

So he lit a cigarette and lazily leaned against the door: "Are you committing theft?"

Although Shanks was embarrassed in front of Beckman, he let go of a lot of shame and stopped bravely: "Stop talking."

Beckman was amused: "Looking at your performance in the past two days, I thought I was wrong. I didn't expect you to be better and get it right in one step."

Shanks glared at him: "I didn't expect this, it was an accident."

"Accident? Drinking?" Beckman was actually not happy, and spoke with a venomous tone, "Everyone knows, right? A man can't get hard when he's drunk. Who are you kidding?"

Who made him refuse to admit it and get angry at himself, but he immediately tricked the person into bed. Beckman wanted to help him understand his feelings, but he was still his own child on the other side!

Being fucked by a brother is also being fucked, why can't he be angry with him?

Shanks completely lost his temper. He waved his hand and said, "I'm going to take a shower. If you want to say something, come in and talk."

Beckman shrugged: "I have nothing to talk to you. If you want to talk, you should talk to Eina."

Shanks was noncommittal and closed the door with his back to him.

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

After breakfast, Ena did not go to the training room to do her daily basic exercises. She went directly to Beckman's study to practice her fruit abilities.

She thought that no one knew what happened yesterday, so she greeted him with a natural look, then found her seat and sat down.

Beckman kept glancing at her with his peripheral vision, and finally couldn't hold it back: "Do you need to ask Korda for some medicine to relieve muscle soreness?"

Eina thought he was talking about swordsmanship: "No, Beckman, I have a lot more there, and I don't plan to practice swordsmanship today."

Beckman coughed heavily: "I know you won't practice swordsmanship today."

Eina turned to look at him. The gray-haired man had a complicated and concerned look in his eyes, and he was hesitant to speak.

Starting from her neck, crimson rose up bit by bit until it reached the tips of her ears.

"Beckman...how did you..."

He looked away: "I met Shanks this morning. It's hard to guess what he did."

"Then...what about the others!"

"I guess no one else saw it, so don't be nervous." Seeing her like this, Beckman put aside the embarrassment of not knowing how to speak and said, "You're not angry with him, are you?"

"No." Eina blushed and lowered her head, "I think... there is nothing to regret or anything. I don't mind, but I may not be sure if I have fallen in love with Shanks."

She admits that she has a crush on Shanks and doesn't hate having such a relationship with him.

But how much does she like him? Eina is a little confused. Her dependence and closeness to him have always been greater than her desire for the opposite sex, so she doesn't know if this can be considered love.

Moreover, she had a knot in her heart.

She couldn't open it, so she couldn't love someone again wholeheartedly.

There is another problem, she will leave soon, and she and Shanks are really not suitable for developing a fixed relationship. She didn't think about it that much before, but now she doesn't want to be tied to anyone.

Beckman understood what she meant, stood up and moved to her side. "As long as you don't mind. You don't have to worry about what Shanks thinks, just do what you want."

"Hey, but this would be unfair to Shanks." Eina looked up at Beckman, "I can't devote myself to loving someone..."

Beckman smiled, with a bit of ruthlessness and ease: "We are pirates, and we have always lived as we pleased. As long as you are willing to do this kind of thing, you don't need to think too much. Besides, that guy is also a man after all. Let him think about complicated things, can Eina just be happy?"

Beckman miscalculated one thing at this time, that is - when his captain had a headache, it was himself who was implicated! It's just that he doesn't realize it yet.

Eina felt a lot more enlightened after hearing what he said. She smiled, looked at him, and said sincerely, "Thank you, Beckman."

Beckman said nothing, indicating that she could start practicing. He walked back to his original seat and suddenly caught a glimpse of the traces accidentally exposed on Eina's neck.

The old father felt angry.

Shanks is such a bastard! A man who is not a young man is so careless!

The mate of the red-haired pirate group now had the idea of ​​​​blasting his captain to death.
