One Piece: Heart Set Sail

"Are you all ready?"

"Yes! Captain!" everyone said in unison.

"Okay, let's set sail!"

The pirate ship raised its sails and moved away lightly with the waves. This was also the first time that Xue went out to sea with everyone. She couldn't calm down at all. Along the way, she looked at the sea, sometimes there were schools of fish jumping up, and sometimes there were Seagulls flying by, otherwise, she would count the clouds passing by in the sky.

As a navigator, Bebo carefully observed the weather and ensured that the route was correct, so he was too busy to chat with Xue, so Xue went to Joey's place.

"Sister, I brought some pastries from the kitchen." Xue held a few small cakes.

"Thank you, Xiaoxue."

The two were sitting on the deck chatting. Joey's eyes were always on Luo. When Xue saw it, she snickered: "Sister, why do you always look at brother Luo?"

"Well...because I like him very much."

"Oh...then, what does it feel like to like Brother Luo?" Xue leaned on the table with her chin in her left hand and held the cake in her right hand.

"How should I put it? It's like eating a piece of honey and feeling very relieved."

Xue imagined it for a moment, then asked: "What if there are other sisters who like Brother Luo like you in the future?"

"Of course we can't allow this to happen. Luo is mine, how can I let others take it away, don't you think? Xiaoxue?" Joey said calmly.

"Oh, it's like this, so profound." Xue shook her little head: "Sure enough, I just can't understand what's going on between you adults. Forget it, sister, let me tell you a story."

"Okay, what do you want to hear?"

"Anything is fine."

On the other side, Xavier asked Luo: "Captain, what are you going to do after you find the Heart of the Ocean?"

"Let her keep it." Luo looked at Joey who was telling Xue a story: "The heart of the ocean that cannot be unsealed is no different from an ordinary stone. As for how to unseal it, I don't know anything about it."

There have long been rumors about the Heart of the Ocean. It is a heart-shaped stone that is as translucent as ice crystals, but its power is sealed. If the seal cannot be released, the power cannot be used.

"Captain, where is the record of how to remove the seal?" Xavier felt that the power of the Heart of the Ocean must not be underestimated.

"We'll probably be able to find some clues when we get to Alistea." Luo chuckled as he looked in the direction of his destination, which was getting closer and closer.

The two-day voyage ended quickly. The Heart Pirates had entered the waters of Alistea. The weather became less clear and dark clouds gradually filled the sky.

"Beibo, why is the sky getting gloomy?" Xue stood beside Beibo, and the wind blowing from the sea became more and more fierce.

"Because our destination has arrived, Xiaoxue, we must be prepared, it is very dangerous."

"I'm always ready." Xue looked at the sea, and gradually saw the shadow of the island in the distance. It was really spectacular. They were very, very high mountains, connected in a long, long row. This is a Long island.

"I heard that Alistea is an island that suddenly appeared recently, and no one who went there to look for treasures ever came back alive. Xiaoxue, are you afraid?" Bebo asked seriously.

"A bit, but when I'm with everyone, I'm not afraid anymore!" Xue blinked firmly.

"Well!" Bebo took a deep breath and reported to Luo: "Captain, here we are, this is Alistea."

Everyone got ready at their respective posts. Luo held the ghost tightly and cried: "Okay, find a place to dock and land on the island."

When the ship was about to approach the coast, it suffered a violent collision. Xue lost her grip and rolled back and forth on the deck. The others were not much better either. Except for Luo, they also fell down and fell.

"Brother Luo! What's going on?!" The snow was rolling around and I felt like the world was spinning, and it was difficult to even stand up.

"Xiaoxue, let me help you!" Bebo moved over with great difficulty and stabilized Xue's rolling body.

"There is something in the sea, everyone, pay attention!!" Luo realized that the impact came from the bottom of the boat, which meant that something suspicious was attacking them.

"Luo, you protect them, I'll go to the sea and take a look!" Joey jumped into the sea without waiting for Luo to respond.

"Joy! Be careful!"

Joey dived into the water and discovered that the suspicious objects turned out to be several blue rabbits. They hit the bottom of the boat with great force. If this continues, the boat will capsize before it reaches the shore.

Fortunately, Joey is not an esper. Although it is a bit difficult to deal with these rabbits in the sea, it is not impossible.

After a while, the boat finally stopped rocking. Joey emerged from the water tiredly, and Xavier pulled her up.

"It's Hylabon," Joey gasped.

"I see."

"Hilabon? Is it the kind of blue rabbit that can swim in the water?" Xue had seen this kind of creature in a book and heard that it was very ferocious.

"I didn't expect those guys to live in this sea area." Pekin breathed a sigh of relief: "Captain, let's get to the shore now!"

"Ah."

Kaiden gave a thumbs up: "Joy, if you really have it, you can handle Hellabon."

"Thank you, but I've spent too much energy, and I'm going to rely on you for the next step." Joey was soaked all over, and it was indeed not easy to deal with that kind of rabbit.

"Don't worry, leave it to us!"

Xue accompanied Joey to change clothes. Luo and others also docked the boat. A mysterious atmosphere came from the unknown island, attracting adventurers.

"Captain, how do we go?"

"Go that way." Luo pointed to a winding path.

The whole group headed towards the mountains. The path was surrounded by lush forests on both sides, and various fungi were growing under the trees several meters high. Snow had never been seen before, and they looked around as they walked, not missing any wonderful things.

"Xiaoxue, watch your step, there are still many protruding tree roots here." Bebo was worried that she would fall, so he freed up a hand to hold her.

"Brother Luo, how far do we have to go to reach the heart of the ocean?" Xue looked at the road ahead, which seemed to be endless.

Luo unfolded the map and looked at it, thinking: "The heart of the ocean is in the center of the island, and it's still far away."

"It's in the center. We just came up not long ago." Xue sighed: "It seems there is still a long way to go."

The further you walk into the forest, the less light can shine through, and it seems to be another world inside.Xue didn't dare to look around anymore, the forest was eerily silent.

"I can't even hear the chirping of the birds." Xue clung to Beibo, and the change in the environment made her feel uneasy: "Could there be some kind of monster?"

"Hahaha, Xiaoxue, are you scared? There must be monsters! Wow~~" Peijin deliberately made a face to scare Snow.

"Who, who are you afraid of? I'm not afraid!" Although she said so, she was indeed a little scared. She had never seen a real monster yet.

The group walked along the path for another hour or so, and finally saw the end. There was a stone door on the mountain wall with strange pictures and symbols painted on it.There is a perfect circle in the middle of the door. In the middle of the circle is a mysterious image, which looks like a human face but not like it. There are many small raised circles on the circle, and there are some irregular lines on the outside.

Luo tried to use his ability to enter, but failed. The door was made of seastone and he didn't know who built it. It seemed that he could only use his brain to open the door?

"Luo, do you recognize these patterns?" Joey couldn't understand the meaning of the patterns, but it was obvious that they were the key to opening the door.

"Let me give it a try." The heart of the ocean can no longer be found.”

"Three times, but there is no jack on this door, and there is no key." Xue could only see the outline hovering above, and couldn't see the door's opening and closing at all.

"Xavier, how sure are you?"

"I...I don't know to be honest, but this should be regular. Give me some time." An accidental collision, a coincidence.

When it was almost evening, Xavier began to try to open the door for the first time. He pressed the small raised circle on the circle according to the rules he had just calculated, and then pushed the door, but there was no response.

"Captain, do you think we have failed?" Xavier turned around and asked.

“Be careful! The vines made a deep crack.

"Oh my god, you scared me to death!"

Luo stared at the door seriously, waited for the crazy vines to stop, and then said: "This is the first failure."

"Sorry, Captain." Xavier scratched his head.

"Nothing, there are two more times." Luo was not angry, but began to study patiently.

Xue was also stunned by the scene just now: "It turns out that it is really life-threatening."

"Of course, this is a pirate's adventure." Peijin looked at Xue seriously and said, "But pirates just want to pursue treasures, hehe."

Xue was about to ask something more, but she heard some subtle sounds, as if coming from the forest. She looked around with a little vigilance, but there was nothing. Could it be that she was scaring herself?

At this moment, Xavier was ready to try again: "I hope nothing goes wrong this time."

"Xavier, what do these pictures mean?" The situation became more serious. If you couldn't open the door, you would get nothing. Kaiden also walked to the door: "What is this thing that looks like a human face?" what?"

"It's an ancient totem of the Siren Tribe, but I didn't expect to see it here. I was wondering if there would be a Siren Tribe on this island?" Xavier speculated.

"Ignore it for now, let's see if the law of calculation this time can open this broken door."

"Ah."

Xavier pressed the small circles again, but there was still no response from the door, so based on his previous experience, he did not directly put his hand down and still pressed on the last circle.

"Captain...if I let go, I don't know what will happen this time..."

"Ha, I want to see what this door will do." Luo raised his right hand: "room."

The light blue light circle expanded, and Luo exchanged Xavier's position with a stone. But this time, what everyone didn't expect was that the vines he attacked during the first failure did not react this time.

"The vines didn't attack, does that mean we succeeded?" Joey looked at Xavier.

"I don't know, it's just..." Xavier was mid-sentence when the shouts of Bebo and Snow appeared behind him.

"Ah!!! Brother Luo, help..."

"Help! Captain..."

Before the two of them could even say a word clearly, a large void appeared under their feet, and one person and one bear fell straight into the darkness!

"Room!" Luo turned around hurriedly, trying to switch them up, but because they fell too fast, the blue light circle could not catch up.

"Oops!" Joey was lying on the edge of the hollow, shouting down: "Bebo!! Xiaoxue!! Can you hear it?!"

There was no echo from below, and at the same time, the hole just now closed at lightning speed, and calm returned to the ground.

"Luo, what should we do?" Joey patted the ground and found that the ground had become solid.

"Captain..." Xavier was a little at a loss: "It's all my fault. It's all my fault. Bebo and Xiaoxue fell..."

"Shut up and keep opening the door. There's another chance." Luo Dayou had the urge to smash the door directly: "Bebo should be able to find a way. If it's just trapped, then we have to be faster here. .”

"Captain... But what if, I still drive wrong this time, the place will collapse, then Beibo and Xiaoxue..." Xavier was afraid, there was only one chance left. If he made the wrong mistake last time, there would be no hope. .
