[One Piece] Mindless and unhappy

The sun spreads gently on the ship's deck, the sea is calm, and only one ship cuts through the waves and sails smoothly on the sea, with the seagull logo painted on the flying white flag.

It's a navy patrol boat.

But this naval patrol ship that was supposed to patrol near Osclo Island has now deviated from its original route.

And as a naval vessel, there was no one wearing a naval uniform on the deck.

——This is a patrol boat that has been hijacked.

Naturally, on the boat were Haihara Ai and Ace, who had returned to the shore from Fish-Man Island.

After walking around Fish-Man Island, they bought some supplies to prepare for returning to the sea. Ace's identity would be quite useful on Fish-Man Island once his identity was revealed.

Both fishmen and mermaids are slaves that are favored by nobles. Under the pressure of high profits, many people take desperate risks. In particular, many mermaids with low martial arts are often taken to the sea and auctioned off.

Fish-Man Island is not a peaceful place, and the New World is not a kind place. In the eyes of many pirates, the residents of Fish-Man Island are just mobile treasury, and many people choose to dive into the deep sea to get it. Although it is dangerous to dive into a murloc or mermaid, and it is difficult to catch these flexible aborigines in the sea, there are still a lot of treasures and money that can be exchanged for just one. People come one after another.

These bloodshed incidents naturally decreased a lot after becoming a member of Whitebeard's command on Fish-Man Island. Once the trouble on Fish-Man Island went too far, news would naturally spread to Whitebeard's pirate group.

No one dared to confront one of the Four Emperors so blatantly.

As the captain of the second division under Whitebeard, Ace was naturally a guest of Fish-Man Island, so after they expressed their desire to return to the sea, the king of Fish-Man Island arranged ships and sea beasts for them.

After they returned to the shore, they asked the sea beast to take the boat back to Fishman Island. Ace also asked Haibara Ai why he didn't leave the boat alone.

"We probably won't dive again and won't be able to use such a good coated boat."

Ace had no objections. The sea beast sent them to Osclo Island and then returned. They happened to buy a small boat after repairing it at Osclo Island and prepared to continue sailing in the direction of the Sabo Life Card.

But I don't know if it should be described as a coincidence. Just two days after they went to sea, they saw a navy patrol ship nearby.

Still a lone ship.

It's not entirely unreasonable to say that they are alone. Patrol boats are naturally of the type that often act alone, and patrol boats generally do not have strong combat effectiveness. They are more likely to detect something bad in advance and then notify the nearest naval officer nearby.

Just when they had just finished talking about wanting to grab one, such a suitable ship appeared, and Ace naturally rushed forward.

By the time Haihara Ai tied their boat to the navy ship, Ace had already knocked out all the sailors on board.

"...This is truly spectacular."

()

As soon as Haibara Ai jumped on the deck, he saw the marines lying on the deck. Ace took out the phone bug from the control room that the navy used to communicate with each other and threw it to Haibara Ai.

"They informed us very quickly. Let's pack up and run."

Haiyuan Ai looked at the phone bug, and happened to hear Ace's words. After thinking for a long time, he simply threw it into the sea.

"Seawater also has an effect on phone bugs, and these people on the boat... shake them awake and let them swim back on their own..." She thought about the nearby sea chart. It was not very far from the land at the moment, and they didn't have time to go there. Deal with these people.

Ace had no other objections. The two of them reached an agreement on this very quickly and acted equally quickly.

By the time they threw the navy overboard and changed the route, at least no navy had caught up yet. They simply put their small boats into the cabin of the navy ship. When Ace changed directions and sailed in the operation room to pay attention to the route, Haiyuan Ai took a tour of the entire ship.

The advantage of hijacking a patrol boat is that it is very simple, but there is another problem that is more difficult to overcome for Haibara Ai's research: there is no research equipment.

Patrol ships are generally ships under the command of a major general or lieutenant general who take turns to pay attention to the situation in nearby sea areas. Generally, each ship does not have a strong combat capability and is not even equipped with a separate medical room, let alone professional research equipment.

Haiyuan sighed, returned to the operation room and said to Ace, "Although we have the sea tower stone, we still don't know where to start researching it."

"Let's go to the next island and see if there is any equipment. Do you want to learn how to sail a boat?" Ace has also seen that there is no equipment on this ship, but in the past few years since he and Haibara Ai have known each other, Haibara Ai seems to always have something to keep busy on her hands. The most leisurely time was probably when she went to the Shampoo Islands and on the Wanli Sunshine a while ago.

Haibara Ai had no interest in sailing, but there was nothing else to do at the moment. She simply stayed in the operation room and watched Ace operate, and also learned from it.

Perhaps due to good luck, the two of them had not encountered any trouble since they robbed the ship.

The two of them checked the ship half-heartedly, turned off the navy's tracking system, and bought some simple equipment and food supplies the next time they docked. The two of them drifted on the sea for a while, but everything went smoothly. Even the weather has always been as per my wish, and there has never been any extreme weather.

"Xiao Ai, what are you eating today?"

Ace poked his head into the kitchen and watched Haihara Ai busy inside.

On their third day on the boat, Haihara Ai, who had eaten barbecue for three days in a row, had no choice but to drive Ace out of the kitchen.

She knew how to cook. There was no kitchen in the special training, and she had no experience in surviving in the wild. It was really difficult to cook, but now there was a kitchen on the ship. She took a stool and started to do it by herself.

"Sukiyaki." Haihara Ai didn't know if there was such a thing as sukiyaki in this world. She had tried this mixed and cooked delicacy when she was in Japan, and she suddenly wanted to revisit it.

When you bring it to the table and open the lid, the white steam and aroma hit your face.

The first ingredient they chose with their chopsticks clearly differentiated some eating habits.

Ace naturally reached for the fat cow without hesitation. Haiyuan Ai glanced at the pot and gave priority to the vegetarian dishes.

"I found that since I met you, I really want to eat some green vegetables." They don't have the habit of eating without talking, Haiyuan lamented.

Ace kept using his chopsticks and expressed his support for this delicacy: "You are too thin, eat more meat."

"Aren't you tired of eating meat every day?" Haihara Ai didn't find it strange to eat meat every time before. She often had hamburger steaks for three meals a day in the United States, and she didn't find it strange, but she thought Thinking about the barbecue for three days in a row, I can't help but feel sore in my teeth.

Ace shook his head. He didn't only eat meat, he just liked meat more. He picked up a piece of carrot in the pot and stuffed it into his mouth. The taste of gravy was already mixed into the soup, and the carrot was also very tasty.

It’s just that I can’t continue eating properly this time.

Hui Yuan Ai paused with her chopsticks. She put down her bowl and chopsticks and closed her eyes to listen carefully.

——Creak.

When the sound came, Ace also put down the dishes in his hands, and they walked to the deck and looked in the direction of the sound.

A white "road" suddenly appeared on the dark blue sea, spreading in the direction of the ship.

And a figure was riding a bicycle in this direction.

Hui Yuan Ai squinted his eyes and recognized the person who came over: "...Qing Pheasant?"

Ace frowned and moved her slightly behind him: "That admiral?"

Hui Yuan Ai opened his mouth to say something, but Qing Zhi's bicycle had already ridden under the boat.

He pushed his feet hard on the ice and easily jumped onto the side of the ship.

When they got closer to the two of them, they discovered that he had a different leg. It was a prosthetic leg made of ice.

Qingzhi didn't look like he was going to take action after seeing them. He arched his body and sniffed: "Are you eating?"

Haiyuan Ai stopped Ace who was about to take action: "Where does Mr. Kuzan want to go?"

"I was just suddenly hungry. I saw this navy ship and wanted to have a meal." Qingzhi glanced at her.

Haiyuan Ai did not hesitate and reached out to indicate the location of the dining room. Qingzhi also walked directly in that direction without noticing.

As if aware of Ace's suspicion, Aokiji did not look back, but explained: "I am no longer a marine, and whether Fire Fist is still alive or not is not very important to me."

Ace turned to look at Haihara Ai. Haihara Ai nodded to indicate that Aokiji was right and explained: "A lot of things happened after the special training. The biggest one is probably the battle between Aokiji and Akainu for the marshal in the Navy. position, Aokiji quit the navy after Akainu won."

Ace also didn't expect to have a meal with his almost mortal rival one day, but in fact after they returned to the restaurant, Aokiji himself made a stool out of ice and placed it next to the seat facing them. He was sitting on a stool facing the sukiyaki pot, waiting for them.

Because Qingzhi was there, they didn't have much in common, so they didn't talk at all, but the meal was not difficult. After they finished the meal indifferently, Qingzhi said "Thank you for the hospitality."

"Mr. Kuzan, I want to have a chat with you." Haiyuan Ai thought for a moment, then went to find Qing Pheasant.

She wanted to know more about Devil Fruits and the relevant information that the pirates could obtain. She tried her best to get information on some of the relatively public ones, but there was really no clear information in some parts, such as when she I wrote down something important in my notebook.

The fruit of progress belonging to Ain, a former navy rookie.

——“About the fruits of regression.”

Qingzhi didn't even raise his eyes: "Rewind the time of the item."

Haihara Ai naturally knew this, so he asked the question: "Then do you know how to find the owner of this fruit?"

Qing Zhi finally raised his head and looked at Hui Yuan Ai carefully. Hui Yuan Ai did not continue to speak and let him look at her.

"I don't know, but her strength is average, and her fruit ability isn't very effective. No matter what you want to do, she probably won't be of much help."

Hui Yuan Ai smiled: "Whether it's useful depends on how I look at it. I really want to see the effect of going backwards."

"Then maybe everyone disappeared after you were tricked." Qingzhi said bluntly.

Huihara Ai was not angry. She just needed to test whether this fruit could really turn back time, but it seemed like it had some effect.
