One Piece: The Magician

The wind is sunny and the sky is clear.

On the vast sea, an old-fashioned dhow with a cute sheep's head was sailing slowly forward. The skull and crossbones flag wearing a straw hat sounded in the sea breeze.

Its hull is covered with patches, and it’s hard to imagine the adventures this little boat has experienced.

In the cabin, the Straw Hats were enjoying lunch.

Thanks to the cooking skills of the top chef, the quality of the food was of course impeccable, but strangely, the atmosphere in the cabin was actually a bit dull at this time.

Even the Straw Hat Captain, who usually had the most voracious appetite, lost his appetite after eating the barbecue for ten people, and lay on the table feeling unhappy.

"The weather won't change much in the next ten hours. Haha, it looks like it will be a calm day."

Staring at the record pointer on his wrist, the orange-haired navigator continued to say to his friends:

"At our current sailing speed, we will reach the next island in about three days."

"Oh" xn

The rest of the people responded listlessly. This negative reaction can be said to be extremely abnormal.

""

Nami raised her eyebrows impatiently, turned to look at a certain nymphomaniac cook, and asked:

"Sanji-kun, do we still have enough food on board?"

"kindness."

The curly-browed cook nodded: "Before leaving the Wandering Island, Maya and the others gave us a lot of supplies, and there is still a lot left."

"Luffy, the number one rice cook, has no appetite these days, but he, the number two rice cook,"

At the mention of the Straw Hats' number two loser, Sanji's expression darkened and he silently lit a cigarette.

Suddenly, the atmosphere became more dull.

"Ah ah ah, what on earth are you guys doing?"

Nami seemed to be driven crazy by the look of her companions. She stood up, slammed her hands on the table, and shouted:

"Sherlock is not dead, so why are you looking so sad?"

"Isn't it just that he has been in a coma for more than ten days and still hasn't woken up? How has that guy not behaved like this before?"

As she spoke, Nami's eye circles began to turn slightly red, she sniffed, sat back in her seat, and said no more.

Yes, although it feels like I missed a few chapters, as the title of this chapter says, it has been ten days since the Straw Hats left the Wandering Island and escaped the pursuit of the naval fleet.

Being carried into the windless zone by the big turtle from Wandering Island was actually not as scary as Nami and others imagined.

Because the great translator Chopper once again showed the importance of learning another foreign language.

After talking to the big turtle, perhaps in order to repay the kindness of the reindeer doctor for helping it treat its wounds, this behemoth suddenly turned a corner and pulled the Straw Hats from the windless belt back to the Grand Line.

Of course, if this thing knew who made a big hole in its shell, it's hard to say whether it would be able to turn.

Luffy and others are very happy, because as long as a certain man with glasses wakes up, they can have adventures together as before.

As a result, Sherlock is still in a coma until now.

"Hey, Chopper."

Usopp gently poked the blue-nosed reindeer next to him and asked quietly: "Did you check Sherlock's body today? Is there any sign that he is about to wake up?"

"I, I don't know"

Maybe he regarded the current situation of the magician as his negligence as the ship's doctor. The little reindeer shook his head with some remorse.

"As Nami said just now, Sherlock has been in coma several times before due to exhaustion."

"When he was unconscious, there was no abnormality in his body. His breathing and heartbeat were normal, just like he was asleep."

Chopper has been the Straw Hat crew's ship doctor for a while, and has already figured out the routines of several "resident patients".

Guys like Luffy and Zoro, who are thick-skinned and thick-skinned, have extraordinary abilities to withstand beatings and recover.

So even if every battle leaves them with scars and wastes a lot of bandages, as long as they eat a big meal and sleep, they will basically be fine the next day.

On the other hand, Sherlock, with his thin skin and tender flesh, doesn't look like a tough guy at first glance.

Due to the characteristics of the magician's fruit ability, Sherlock usually does not suffer any trauma, but he often suffers from overdraft of energy and causes coma.

So the Straw Hats had been like this in the previous battles on the first few islands. Although there was no injury on a certain glasses body, he was always the last one to wake up.

"So it's the same as before." Chopper lowered his head and murmured:

"There is nothing we can do but wait patiently."

After listening to their ship's doctor's explanation, everyone's mood became heavier at this time.

"But the question is, how long do we have to wait?"

Zoro crossed his hands across his chest and said with a serious face: "He has not eaten for more than ten days in a row. Even if the coma consumes less energy, his body will not be able to bear it if he does not replenish nutrients for a long time."

"If Sherlock still can't wake up, we must prepare for the worst now."

"worst plans"

Nami raised her head in confusion, "Zoro, do you mean this?"

"Yes." The green-haired swordsman's expression darkened and he whispered:

"Sherlock, I'm afraid he can no longer continue our adventures with us."

Zoro's voice was not loud, but it was no less than a thunder in the ears of Luffy and others.

"impossible"

Luffy refused without hesitation, "Even if Charlotte never wakes up, I will not abandon him."

"That's right, Zoro, what are you talking about?"

Usopp immediately stood up and pointed at a certain green algae head, his tone full of anger and doubt.

"Do you think Sherlock is a burden now, so you plan to abandon him? We are not companions."

"Because we are companions, that's why I say this."

The green-haired swordsman had a livid face and loudly interrupted the words of a certain long-nosed man.

"Have you become accustomed to Sherlock's daily suggestions? Don't you even have the ability to think independently? We are pirates, not playing house."

"Our journey in the future will only be more dangerous. Letting the unconscious Sherlock continue to take adventures will only harm him."

Although he is an extreme fool, Sauron's ideas are undoubtedly more realistic and rational than those of his naive companions.

At the same time, he also knew very well that while the Straw Hat regiment's military advisor was unconscious, someone had to put this unavoidable problem on the table.

"But"

Usopp gritted his teeth and wanted to retort. At this moment, a charming woman who had been silent before suddenly spoke.

"Don't worry, Sherlock will wake up soon."

"Robin" Everyone turned their doubtful eyes to the son of the devil who was calmly petting the cat.

"Haven't you noticed Sherlock's hair these days?"

"hair"

Nami and others looked at each other, and then suddenly realized the astonishing change on the top of a certain glasses head.

Before, it was mostly black with a few silver highlights, but now, it has gradually become a silver-white color.

"Maybe you don't understand, but Sherlock's identity is actually very special, and his beautiful silver hair is also a symbol of his identity."

While stroking the soft fur of the little black cat, Robin explained to the others:

"Although I don't know why his hair changed color, but if I guess correctly, he should wake up when his hair turns completely silver-white."
