[One Piece] Mindless and unhappy

After everyone finished eating, Haihara Ai and Ace were on the deck of the Wanli Sunshine, leaning on the railing to eat and take a look at the deep sea beasts outside.

"Do you mind if I borrow this little lady?"

Ace turned his head and saw Robin next to him, holding a drink that Sanji had placed on the deck table.

After seeing him turn around, he put the drink in his hand, then smiled at him, hugged Haiyuan Ai who was standing next to him, picked him up and walked to the side.

Ace looked at Robin's back, then looked at the drink in his hand with a blank expression.

Also at a loss was Haihara Ai, who was suddenly picked up and taken away.

Haibara Ai actually doesn't like the feeling of being picked up.

When the feet leave the ground, the center of gravity of the body cannot be controlled by oneself, so the uneasiness gradually spreads from the bottom of the heart like the vines of the deep sea and wraps around the whole body, as if being pulled into a deep pool and gradually losing the ability to breathe, which also makes it impossible to obtain a sense of security at all.

But since training with Esther, some special situations often occur.

For example, when Ace accidentally went straight to the opposite lair, attracted a group of huge animals, and accidentally wandered into her special training venue, he would always grab her and run away together.

When this kind of thing happened again and again at the beginning of the special training, she couldn't help but ask Ace why he always ran in her direction. Ace said at the time, "Because this direction has the most trees, and it's easy to get around them one by one." "Eliminate", which caused her to have to pay attention to whether Ace would suddenly fall from the sky and bring a group of "friendly" neighbors with her every time she trained, and her domineering sensing ability improved after seeing it.

Although she herself had to admit that when a child ran, even if he had exercised very hard, he could not be considered fast. It was indeed much slower than when Ace fished him up and walked a long distance in three or two steps.

Normally, she didn't mind that much during special occasions, and she was not used to it every time Ace grabbed her and ran away. She always needed to grab something to make herself feel at ease as much as possible, even though she was used to it now. Less, but that doesn't mean she likes to be picked up.

It was a little different from when Ace picked her up. When Robin hugged her, the girl's body was softer and her movements were gentler than Ace's. Moreover, Robin was wearing high heels and was softer than Ace. A little higher, the line of sight is a few centimeters higher.

As if seeing her discomfort, Robin didn't carry her very far. He just walked a few steps forward to the table. Robin put her on the ground, then pulled up a chair for her and motioned for her to sit down. Go up.

"...Excuse me, what's the matter?" Haiyuan Ai asked.

Robin's arms were resting on the table, and one of his hands was placed on the side of his face to support his cheek. He looked at her and suddenly smiled.

"I don't know why, but I always feel that you and I are very similar. Maybe it's because I have a companion now." Robin pointed at herself with her other free finger, "So I felt that I had a little interest in communicating and wanted to chat alone. "

Haibara Ai glanced at her, just like Robin would pay attention to her. When she just got on the ship and saw Luffy's friends, maybe her focus later was on the cute little ship doctor. After all, he was a cute little animal. He always attracts attention, but at first sight, it was Robin who attracted his attention.

——Flowers that bloom in the dark are always attracted to others of the same kind.

Both of them had the smell of decay that had once been in the darkness, like withered flowers.

Although they are all trying to find the light and pretending to have never experienced anything, some of them have dark sides that have been engraved in their bones. When they meet the same kind, the almost completely transparent disguise is quite ridiculous.

Robin wasn't surprised when she didn't talk to her. It was hard for people like them to open their minds and communicate. She had no intention of joining in the fun and becoming a counselor.

But when I saw Haibara Ai getting along with Ace, I didn't know why I suddenly remembered that when she was on Justice Island, her friends all stood on the opposite side of the World Government and refused to give up on her, even if she had asked for help at the time. Death, but Luffy still hopes that she can continue to live as Robin, and after she expresses her true feelings, Luffy will fight to the death to save her.

——Maybe it’s because I have been redeemed, and I see a child who is also a little confused, and there is always a bit of a filter from the seniors to the juniors. I hope she can also find her own way.

"When you are in darkness, you always feel that light is out of reach. But in fact, as long as you are willing to choose, there will always be someone to help you."

Robin had something to say, and Hui Yuan Ai opened his mouth, paused for a long time, and then said hesitantly: "...Someone once tried to pull me away, but he was almost swallowed by the darkness."

She thought of her sister and Edogawa Conan.

Miyano Akemi once chose to complete the organization's tasks in order to get her out of the organization, but unfortunately she suffered the loss.

No matter what happened to Kudo Shinichi, it was her medicine that made him look like a child after all. And if there was only Edogawa Conan, at most she would only be a special child and would not be noticed by the organization so quickly. After all, it was her escape that attracted the attention of the organization, not to mention that all the original sins were aptx4869.

"If my death can bring peace to everyone, then I am willing to choose death." Robin said, "I have thought about it and tried to do it."

In this regard, those of them who have been committed to darkness will always habitually use escape methods to solve problems, such as death. Robin does not believe that Haihara Ai has not thought about it this way.

"But what's the use of this? Can a person's death really bring peace?" Robin pointed in the direction of Luffy and motioned for Haibara Ai to look over, "Luffy is unwilling to give up his companions, and The same goes for other partners.”

"So I want to live, not as any other existence, but as Nico Robin, as their partner."

Haibara Ai actually knew what Robin meant. When she became a child, she actually thought about simply dying countless times to escape the organization's pursuit, but whenever she had this idea or wanted to do something dangerous, When Edogawa Conan and those cute children stopped her again and again, they might not understand why she didn't cherish her so much, but simply regarded her as a friend and hoped that her friend would be well.

"...I also want to live." I want to live freely in the sun.

In the past world, she had been living under the shadow of the organization, and she could not live a good life, or in other words, she could not get rid of the powerless sense of fate.

After coming to this world, she had actually not thought about the organization for a long time. Although she had been anxious before because of her strength, her mentality was much calmer than before.

It's just that I still feel a little dazed when I wake up from the dream, and I always feel that I don't feel grounded.

I always feel that I will wake up from the dream at any time, and then after waking up, I will find that I still cannot escape the clutches of the organization.

And sometimes this sense of separation caused by not being able to distinguish between dreams and reality makes her always hesitant when facing relationships, such as the fact that she never called out "Daddy" at that time.

Robin pushed the drink on the table closer to her, "Sometimes you can learn from Luffy and the others. If you think too much about the future, you might as well think about what to eat next."

She changed the subject: "So have you decided what to eat for your next meal?"

Hui Yuan Ai didn't follow her topic and made a confused sound: "Huh?"

"Ha." Robin covered her mouth and smiled, then stood up and turned the chair she was sitting on, towards Ace's direction.

"Even if we haven't known each other for a long time, you can still tell that Luffy's brother is very similar to Luffy in some ways."

——"Look, does it look like light?"

From that angle, Ace and Luffy were telling a joke, and the two of them burst into laughter.

Hui Yuan Ai jumped off the chair and laughed: "This light is really silly."

"But no one can live without Kaiguang." Robin hugged his other arm and stretched, "I have found where I belong, and I hope you can too."

"...Thank you." She accepted this rare kindness from her senior.

light?

Haihara Ai looked in the direction of Ace and thought of little Oz's hat, the candy wrappers and childish hairpins in her little iron box, as well as the big and small moments since this trip...

There are always some people who have experienced hardships and suffered unfair fate, but they can always face life with a smile and still look at everything they love tenderly.

"It is indeed light..."

Some people really feel warm when they think about it. She wanted to laugh a little, but she didn't hold back and laughed directly.

"...Although I just finished eating, I kind of want to eat a vegetable salad for my next meal!"

"Roger that, young lady." Sanji bowed as a gentleman and accepted her order without hesitation.

"I want meat!"

"Sanji I want pudding!"

"Then I want a charcoal-grilled saury!"

“I want a huge cola hash brown!”

"I, I, I want to eat omelette rice!"

One second, Sanji had just scolded Luffy for only knowing how to eat meat, and the next second, when he heard that Nami wanted pudding, he happily expressed that he knew.

Not far from Haihara Ai, Robin raised the drink in his hand to signal to her, and then joined in to place an order.

"A sandwich with blueberry jam, please."

Blueberry jam sandwich? Haibara Ai suddenly wanted to taste the blueberry jam in this world: "Mr. Sanji, please give me a blueberry jam sandwich too!"

"I'll prepare the ingredients!"

Sanji memorized the menus one by one. Except for the two ladies and the little girl Haibara Ai, he had to order everyone else's orders one by one, but he still remembered what everyone wanted. Dishes, got into the kitchen.
