[One Piece] Mindless and unhappy

As the depth of the dive became deeper and deeper, the temperature continued to drop. Nami reminded everyone to put on more clothes and explained the current problem under the sea.

While Robin wrapped himself in a long winter coat, he took a short one and handed it to Haihara Ai who was standing on the deck.

Hui Yuan Ai took the short coat and thanked Robin.

The short coat worn by Robin could hang down to her calf when she was a child now. She sighed. As a girl who likes shopping and fashion, even though today's children already have many styles. clothes, but they still looked a bit childish to her, and she also wanted to get back into shape and go shopping to buy some new clothes.

She raised her eyes and glanced at Ace. He didn't feel cold at all. He and Luffy still looked at the sea beasts excitedly.

Fish-Man Island is a territory under the protection of Whitebeard, but because it is deep under the sea, Ace has never been there.

He had also heard that the Whitebeard Pirates were different from Luffy. They took another passage directly to the bottom of the sea. It was much safer than the route Luffy took, but it was also much more hidden.

Although the coating level of the Whitebeard Pirates is quite high because of the deep sea situation involving Fish-Man Island under their command. It is not that Ace has never seen underwater scenes, but this is indeed the first time he has seen this kind of depth.

“Hiss—it’s so cold!”

Hearing Usopp's low cry when he suddenly realized that the temperature was too low, Ace turned to look at Luffy beside him, who was relatively slow to sense cold and heat, and then looked back. The crew members on the spaceship began to wrap themselves in thick clothes. Clothes, I realized later that the little girl who was a guest with him on the spaceship might not be able to withstand the cold.

He said hello to Luffy and jumped off the bow. He was relieved to see Haibara Ai wrapped in clothes.

Haihara Ai knew from the look on his expression that he had finally discovered the situation of cooling down but she didn't bring thick clothes. She pulled the collar of her clothes and wrapped herself tighter.

"Luffy's crew is interesting."

Ace looked at the little girl in front of him who was wearing relatively ill-fitting clothes. After thinking about it, he put his hand on her collar that was holding it to prevent the cold air from getting in. The tentacles were cold.

Ace always showed her attentiveness in ways that she thought would go unnoticed.

Haiyuan sighed. She had stayed in the organization since she was very young. The training methods there were not very gentle even for children. As a result, her health was not very good. She was already almost healthy, but she returned to being a child. After that, I will still be more afraid of the cold. And with the temperature dropping like this, she didn't have any fitting clothes, so even if she was wrapped up, wind would easily get into her clothes.

Because he is a flame, his body temperature is usually higher. Ace covered Hui Yuan Ai's hands in his palms, but after looking at Hai Yuan Ai's appearance of being tied into a small bucket, he stood up and bowed again. He held her in his arms.

He kept supporting her calf with his arm and let her sit on his forearm. His other hand tucked the hem of her clothes around her calf, flattened the empty part and rolled it around her calf, directly letting Haiyuan Ai sat up to avoid further air leakage, then pulled the sleeves of her coat to cover her hands.

"Would it be warmer this way? I think I can still make half a heater."

Haiyuan Ai pulled up her hat, and the oversized brim blocked her eyes. She shrank a little further into the hat to block her increasingly heated ears.

After Ace settled Haibara Ai, he found that a place not far ahead was filled with the crew members of the spaceship. Luffy was also looking at him in surprise.

"what happened?"

Luffy thought about the time when he first met Ace, and couldn't help but accuse: "You are so good to children, why were you so cruel to me back then!"

"Of course I have to pamper such a cute little lady! One look at it and I know that your brother will definitely find a wife before you do!" Sanji gave Luffy a hammer on the head and then said on the spot: "The more I think about it, the more disgusting it becomes. !You didn’t know how to enjoy the beauty when you were with so many beauties before, and there is the number one beauty!”

"What's the use of a wife? I'm hungry! Sanji, I want meat!" Luffy shouted.

Being watched by so many people all of a sudden, Haiyuan Ai's ears and face were all flushed with red.

Ace didn't think it was anything, and carelessly tipped Hui Yuan Ai's weight, indicating that she was too thin.

"You can eat more later."

Haiyuan Ai was shaken by the jolt, and put one hand on Ace's hat to steady herself, unable to hold back the veins popping out on her forehead.

"You are so annoying!"

"Haha!" Ace was not stopped by her words and laughed out loud.

By the time Sanji finished cooking and everyone gathered together for dinner, Haibara Ai had gradually adapted to the current temperature. After she said she had no problem, Ace put her down and walked to the dining room with the others.

During the meal now, compared to the previous meal, everyone got to know each other a lot better and the atmosphere was more relaxed.

Haibara Ai had just picked up a chopstick of green vegetables when she saw Ace, while fighting with Luffy for food on the table, stuffed a chopstick of meat into her bowl. She rolled her eyes and happened to see Diagonally opposite Zoro who was snatching meat.

"Two years ago, I heard that green-haired slaves were very popular in the World Government. I heard that a noble was offended by a green-haired swordsman in the Chambord Islands. If I hadn't heard that the swordsman had passed away. , it really sounds like talking about Mr. Zoro." She thought about the anecdotes she read in the newspaper after coming out of the special training, "But I didn't expect to hear the word slave again."

"It's because Haiyuan, you were on Whitebeard's ship before, but only nobles would raise slaves." Robin explained beside him.

On the other hand, Zoro stuffed his mouth full of meat. After swallowing, he thought about the memories of the Chambord Islands, and then started to pick up a large piece of meat.

"That should be me."

"--Eh?!"

Several voices stacked together to express surprise. Before Zoro stuffed the newly grabbed meat into his mouth, he saw that many people on the table were focusing their attention on him. He looked at the meat in front of him. After looking at the curious eyes around him, he finally chose to stuff the meat into his mouth, explaining in a vague voice.

"Someone asked me for directions, and I kindly gave him directions, but I didn't expect him to shoot at me." He ignored Sanji who shouted on the other side, "How can you, a road idiot, give directions!" and continued.

"Shooting is a provocation. I was ready to take action, but unexpectedly a strange woman suddenly came."

He thought about the scene that happened and frowned, "She said that the shooter was a Celestial Dragon, and something would happen if he did it. She rushed over and asked me to pretend to be hit by the deadly slow gun, and turned into a little girl. I was pretending to cry, and I was crying so much that I didn’t even realize what happened and someone ran away.”

"Woman! I didn't tell you that the beauty who sent you to the shampoo place was a beauty. Why did you meet other beauties!" Sanji stood up suddenly, and the force of the lift knocked over the chair. He reached out and grabbed the girl sitting opposite him. Zoro lifted him up by the collar of his clothes, and shook him around by the collar across a table.

"Become a little girl?!" Hui Yuan Ai opened his eyes wide. "How did you become a little girl? Who is she?"

Seeing that she was indeed very curious, Zoro pulled away Sanji's hand holding his collar and sat back.

"Ah, that woman was still an adult when she stopped me. When the Tianlong people turned around, she turned into a child and pretended to cry. When I left, she recovered." Zoro recalled her appearance, "I think I've seen her bounty, is it a supernova?"

Haibara Ai recalled the supernovas two years ago. She now knew two of them: Luffy and Zoro. There were many supernovas that year, eleven in total, but there was only one female.

..."Big Stomach Girl" Qiao Ellie Bonny.

It just so happened that Robin also had the habit of sorting out previous newspapers. She left her seat and went to get the reward order she had kept. She flipped through it and took out one and put it on the table.

Zoro looked twice and nodded to indicate that it was indeed this person.

Robin pushed the bounty order from the table in the direction of Haihara Ai and said: "There is not much information about her. The specific fruit ability has never been revealed, but judging from what Mr. Swordsman said, it is likely to control her age. direction."

Hui Yuan Ai picked up the reward order and clenched the thin paper tightly with her fingers. Her joints were turning blue and white because of too much force.

Ace also paid attention to this scene while eating on the other side. His other hand did not stop, but temporarily put down the chopsticks. He held her hand and guided her to relax her hand that was trembling and stiff due to excessive excitement and exertion. The intention came from the contact place on the back of her hand. She took a deep breath and put down the reward order in her hand.

"Thank you very much, this news is very important to me."

"When we get to Fish-Man Island, we can find news about her first." Ace pointed to her bowl, then took back his hand and continued to eat, "You can solve it."

Although both of their conversations were a bit meaningless, no one on board the airship was the kind of person with low emotional intelligence who would be inquisitive on such occasions, and turned a blind eye to the secrets in their conversation.

"Solve what?"

——Although there does seem to be a low emotional intelligence.

Sanji's eyes turned to the person who made the sound. Luffy pinched a big rib, gnawed off the meat in three or two bites, threw away the bone and replaced it with a new one. He kept busy with his mouth, as if he had just spoken. The person is not him.

Ace looked at Haiyuan Ai, who closed her eyes and said nothing. Ace didn't know what she was thinking now, but this kind of thing didn't happen to him, and he had no right to speak for her.

The tabletop fell into a strange stagnation for a moment.

"...It's nothing, it's just that some academic aspects involve age changes, and I want to discuss it."

Everyone could see that she was just making an excuse, but she only expressed her understanding in a considerate way. Even Luffy seemed to have just asked casually and did not continue to ask. However, he did not interrupt the eating of some big eaters just now. Efficiency, there was not much left on the table, and a few people with big appetites had already begun to grab the last piece of meat that was still on the public land with swords and swords, trying to stuff it into their own bowls.

——Everyone has secrets. Whether to tell them or not is a personal choice. They more or less have some unspoken secrets.
