[One Piece] Mindless and unhappy

As soon as he landed on the next island, Kuzan got off the boat and rode his bicycle to find a direction on the island and set off.

Haihara Ai and Ace were dropping the anchor, parking the boat, and going to the island to buy some necessities.

The meat they had stocked up during the last purchase had almost been consumed. Vegetables and the like were not easy to preserve, so they had to purchase some separately each time.

They did not stay on the island. After purchasing, they went back to the ship and continued heading towards the island in the direction of the Life Card.

"I forgot to ask Mr. Kuzan for a favor..."

When Haibara Ai returned to the ship, she suddenly discovered a problem. They originally wanted to get a navy ship because of the sea tower stones inlaid on the bottom of the ship.

However, because the Sea Tower Stone was too hard, it was a little difficult to get a small piece. She covered it with her own small dagger and grinded it for a long time before grinding some stone powder. Although the Sea Tower Stone can limit the fruit ability users who come into contact with it, The effect of the ability, but if Mr. Kuzan simply uses his ability to freeze the ship on the hull, and then smashes it with Ace's flames, it will expand and contract with heat, and some small pieces will break off.

"This boat is more convenient than our original boat. Let's use it for now. Then we'll have to go find Sabo and ask him if there's anything he can do." Ace couldn't help either. The color of the weapon is indeed good, but he is still accustomed to using his fists. It is really difficult to separate the sea stone from the bottom of the ship. "Or if you meet Luffy again at sea, you can try to let them use the sea stone on the ship." Mr. Swordsman, please help me cut off a piece."

But Ace was right. It was difficult for them to store various ingredients on the boat before, and they had to lean on the edge of the boat to sleep. Now the boat is big enough, although sometimes I feel that there are only two people. It was too big, but after they had sailed to several islands on this ship, Haihara Ai had set up a small laboratory on the ship. Every time she docked, she would spend half a day on the bottom of the ship. Grind some sea floor stone powder to do some basic analysis, and at the same time buy some special local medicinal materials on different islands to study. If Kuzan really asks Kuzan to help dismantle the sea floor stone on the ship this time, he probably won’t be able to continue. Sailing.

She thought about the importance of the sea floor stone and the laboratory, and agreed with Ace: "You are right."

Ace was stunned and scratched his head: "It seems like this is the first time you said what I said was right. Every time, you always say what I did wrong."

"...Why do you say it as if I'm specifically against you?" Haiyuan Ai turned her head away from him, "I just don't think it's necessary to say it. I will do what you say when you are right."

Ace put his head in the direction where she was hiding: "But I feel a little embarrassed when you praise me like this."

Hui Yuan Ai raised her hand and slapped his face away. She couldn't help but blush a little. It wasn't because of shyness, but because of embarrassment: "You don't look embarrassed!"

His words made Haibara Ai start to recall whether she had talked a lot in front of Ace before. She had always been precocious, and sometimes when Ace was being a little bit too horny, she would unconsciously say a few words from her sister's perspective. Maybe in Ace's opinion, he just doesn't know what the so-called preaching is...

"Because what you said makes sense," Ace's face turned to the side following the strength of her hand, and he was quite serious when speaking, "At that time, I felt that you shouldn't be trapped by such a child's appearance. Stay."

He frowned, as if he didn't know how to describe it, but he still tried to express what he wanted to say: "Although Xiao Ai is very good now, it would be better if she could recover."

"Fool."

Hui Yuan Ai complained softly, there are always some people who don't usually have high emotional intelligence, but are always extra careful at certain times.

I knew she was not a good person at first, but after I found out that Masami Hirota was her sister, she apologized to her and said, "I'm very sorry for not saving your sister." After that, every time I saw the black organization appearing, even if He may be noticed, but he will still habitually stand in front of her to protect Edogawa Conan.

Her knuckles touched her side lightly, and she thought of the small iron box containing candy wrappers and hairpins that she had left behind on the Moby Dick...

"What are you thinking about?" Ace watched her eyes drift for a moment, as if she was looking at someone else through him. He thought of her former friend that Haihara Ai had said when they first met.

"I was wondering if you could call me sister." Haiyuan Ai came back to his senses and took back the hand that was still attached to Ace's face.

"Hey -" Ace said in a long voice without shouting, "Do you miss your friend?"

Haihara Ai was not surprised. He guessed that Ace's observation skills were surprisingly sharp sometimes.

"Yeah, thinking that if I ever see him again, I can tell him that I met a new idiot."

"The sea will always bring countless miracles." Ace stood up straight and walked towards the rudder of the ship, "You will always see them."

It doesn't mean much if you can't see it.

Haiyuan Ai thought about that world. In addition to still thinking about the little detective who needed an antidote and the other friends who might need a farewell, after staying on this vast sea for several years, she actually liked it more than before. sea ​​area.

Free and inclusive.

——If you have the chance to go back, say goodbye properly.

——I have found a new home.

"Thank you for your good words." She continued what Ace said. Ace might just think that her hometown and friends back home were far away from the new world, so they thought they could reunite. But just as she came without any warning, she also Not sure if I can really go back one day.

After Haihara Ai wrote a new line of chemical formulas in her notebook that no one else in the world could understand, they arrived at a new island.

Haibara Ai's recent research on sea floor stone powder has been progressing well. She found that some particles have the same energy as the sea, but there are many types of particles. Since there are ores and fluids that contain the same particles, this kind of particles can definitely be tried. Instead of being attached to other substances, if operations such as purification and compression can be carried out, or it can be developed into a medicine, the effect will be more concentrated, and there will be many ways to use it...

While she was thinking about it, she took a drink from the water cup next to the experimental table and found that the cup was empty. She looked at the kettle placed in the laboratory, picked it up and shook it to find that it was empty.

She simply carried the pot and cup out of the laboratory.

When looking at the sea from outside, the boat was already at a standstill, and Ace was sitting on the bow, lying down and blowing in the wind.

"Why didn't you call me?" she asked Ace after putting the kettle and cups in the kitchen.

"It's bad that your train of thought was interrupted," he yawned. "Lying in the sea breeze is quite comfortable, and it will be dinner time in a while, so you will come out."

"Let's go." Haiyuan Ai looked at Ace who kept yawning, "Let's go eat something first and then go back to the boat to rest?"

Ace sat up, held the hat covering his face in his hands, stretched, jumped off the bow and stood next to her.

"This is called Sad Island. It is a summer island with many beaches, but the temperature is actually quite comfortable. I heard that the coconuts are quite good. You can go and play for a while." He took out the life card belonging to Sabo from the hat and looked at it. This small piece of invulnerable water and fire kept shaking forward, "And judging from the appearance of the life card, it should be not far from Sabo. He should have seen it over there."

Are there many beaches?

"...Are they all the same kind of beaches here?" Haiyuan Ai thought about the beaches he had been to before. He also heard people say that there are some special beaches in some places.

"It doesn't seem to be the case. I heard that it is a round island. This side is mainly white beach, but there are some colorful beaches in the center of the island and next to it." Ace thought for a moment about the famous beach he had heard from his companions on the Moby Dick before. island, "And I heard that the coconuts here are super big and come in various flavors, even salty!"

Salty coconut? Haihara Ai couldn't help but show a disgusted look. She thought for a moment and told Ace to wait a moment, then went to the cabin to get a long-sleeved hooded thin shirt and put it on her body.

Ace looked at the thin shirt she wore outside the short sleeves and asked, "Aren't you hot?"

Hui Yuan Ai glanced at him and suppressed the rolling of her eyes, but her face remained expressionless because she had suppressed her emotions: "Girls should wear sun protection."

Even if he didn't understand this, looking at Haiyuan Ai's expression, he knew that casually answering the conversation might lead to another sentence of "idiot". Ace touched his nose and didn't dare to say anything. He moved calmly, walked to the edge of the boat and threw it away. Anchor.

As Ace said, Sad Island is full of white beaches as far as the eye can see from the place where we disembark.

Almost all the buildings on the island are not high, and the architectural style is relatively simple. However, when they saw that there was a concentrated area of ​​buildings on the island, it was estimated to be the main residential area for the islanders. There was a large circle of tents around it. She and Ai Si is currently walking towards that tent.

When he saw the roasted coconut, Ace's footsteps immediately moved in that direction. Haihara Ai thought of the Thai roasted coconut that he had heard of before. Although he had not tried it, he heard that it was indeed delicious, so he followed him there. The entrance of that small shop.

"Boss, two toasted coconuts."

The boss smiled and handed over two coconuts. The roasted coconuts had cooled down a bit and were not hot when held in his hands. Haiyuan Ai took a sip. In addition to the sweetness of the coconuts themselves, the oil and coconut milk of the coconuts were mixed in. At the same time, it shows a bit of the taste of milk tea that I have drunk before.

She looked at Ace who was holding a coconut, biting the straw and started drinking. He hadn't stopped to look for the next house. Because she couldn't reach the hat hanging around his neck, she reluctantly grabbed him and wrapped it around his waist. The end of his belt, although not very strong, successfully stopped his pace——

"...Ace, pay."
