[One Piece]Walking with the Sea

Love at first sight was the word Roger despised the most, but the moment he saw Lujiu, these words immediately came to his mind.

﹉﹉﹉﹉﹉﹉﹉﹉﹉﹉﹉

Vivian really likes the gentle Lujiu. Lujiu has a unique gentleness that is different from Mrs. Shi, like the sunset that is about to set, or the evening breeze with the fresh fragrance of flowers in spring. People can't help but want to close their eyes and sleep comfortably and beautifully in such gentleness, and then have a good dream.

The feeling of being tipsy and light, like being drunk.

"Vivian, go ask Roger to eat."

"it is good--"

Vivian walked in and called out. Roger was repairing Lujiu's lounge chair that he had broken in the yard. When he heard the call, he quickly responded, dropped his tools and ran into the room happily, stroking his belly loudly. He yelled: “I’m starving to death, I’m starving to death, I can finally eat!”

Lujiu smiled helplessly.

After lunch, Vivian cleared the table and stood in the sink washing dishes. Lujiu went back to the room to mend Roger's tattered clothes. Roger sat on the chair and propped up his chin, tapping the table one after another, eyes wide. Keep staring at the back of Vivian's head.

There was a very warm and peaceful atmosphere in the air. Suddenly, Roger's voice broke the tranquility.

"Vivian, please go back to the Shampoo Islands."

Vivian's hand that was washing the dishes paused, and then she continued to wash the dishes as if she didn't hear anything, but she squeezed the dishcloth much harder.

"Just tomorrow. I have already found a caravan that will go to the Shampoo Islands. They will send you to Leili safely."

Roger was talking to himself, and his tone was so casual that he seemed to be saying, "The weather seems to be good today."

Vivian still didn't say a word. She washed the dishes seriously. Her washing action became slower and slower. Moreover, even though the dishes were already clean, she would continue to put them in the water and then take them out to wash them again. It took her three days to wash the bowls and plates for three people.

"Tomorrow morning, I will send you to the dock." At the end of the day, Roger had already made up his mind.

Hearing this, Vivian could no longer deceive herself by pretending to be washing the dishes. She squeezed the dishcloth tightly, and the foam that oozed out covered most of her palm: "But... I just came here. One month…”

Why couldn't she have stayed a little longer? She obviously doesn't expect to stay here for a year or several years. She just wants to stay a little longer, maybe one more month. Why are you so eager to drive her away?

"Can I...stay a little longer?"

Roger looked at Vivian, who always had her back turned to him, and softly uttered a few words: "No."

"Why?" Vivian turned around, the corners of her eyes turning red. She still couldn't understand why Roger was always so cruel to her. He was obviously the one who wanted to take her on the ship in the first place, and he was going to disband the Roger Pirates later. Even though she was sad, she didn't say anything. He didn't She said goodbye and didn't even want to see her for the last time. She was just secretly angry, but she always thought in her heart that as long as Roger, this guy, apologized to her, even if it was just a heartless "Ah, sorry Vivian, I forgot" she would accept and forgive.

But she spent so much effort to come to the South China Sea from the distant Shampoo Islands to find him. After just one month, he wanted to drive her away...

Why?

Vivian's eyes were red, but she stubbornly refused to let herself shed tears. She bit her lips tightly and tried to lift her chin, but her voice trembled slightly uncontrollably: "Why... you always make such random decisions?" Where am I going?!”

Why don't you always ask her what she thinks and feels?

"Just because - I am your captain!" At this time, Roger was no longer his usual cheerful face. He showed the seriousness and majesty of a captain for the first time to Vivian. He was just like that Sitting casually on the chair, the slightly exposed aura on his body made Vivian almost breathless.

"What are you talking about, captain? You have obviously disbanded the pirate group!!" With just such a light sentence, the Roger Pirates group was disbanded so easily! The home she had lived in for so many years was shattered by the words "The Roger Pirates are disbanded!"

"Even if the Roger Pirates are disbanded, you will still be a member of the Roger Pirates, so I can ask you to do anything. Unless you quit yourself and admit that you are not a member of the Roger Pirates." Roger said with a blank expression. Looking at her with an expression: "So, do you want to quit the Roger Pirates, Vivian?"

Tears burst into her eyes in an instant. Vivian wiped them away hard and bit her lip. Even though her lip had been bitten by her teeth and was bleeding, she didn't want to cry in front of Roger. But she couldn't seem to wipe the tears clean no matter how hard she tried. She obviously didn't want to be like this... She obviously didn't like crying so much, and she hated the tears that would expose her weakness. But since the Roger Pirates were announced to be disbanded, , she seems to have become a crybaby that I hate.

She felt wrapped in a huge grievance and anger. She looked at Roger through her hazy vision. She wanted to speak but was so choked that she couldn't make a sound.

Even though she knew how important the Roger Pirates were to her, she still told her to quit the Roger Pirates. It was so abominable that this person was the captain she regarded as a god.

It's... her trustworthy and reliable father...

"You don't have to listen to me, but this means that you voluntarily quit the Roger Pirates. From now on, you can no longer tell anyone that you are a member of the Roger Pirates, and the Roger Pirates will no longer talk to you. not related!"

The words Roger kept saying were like a huge cold hammer, hitting Vivian's heart again and again. Vivian suddenly felt so cold, "I don't want it!" She stared at Roger, her voice Full of grievances: "I don't want to quit the Roger Pirates, I don't want..."

"Then, get on the boat tomorrow and go back to the Chambord Islands!"

"But……"

"No but, this is the captain's order!"

Lujiu stood in the dark corner, listening quietly to Roger's merciless words. She suddenly sighed and whispered softly: "But Roger, is this too cruel to Vivian..."

Vivian could no longer control her inner emotions. She wiped away her tears and shouted at Roger: "Asshole Roger!! I will never pay attention to you again! Never again!! Go to hell——"

After speaking angrily, Vivian rushed to the door crying, slammed the door shut and rushed into the night.

"Why are you doing this, Roger." Seeing this scene, Lujiu quickly walked out from the corner, trying to run out and call Vivian back.

"Don't go, Lujiu."

Roger's shout made Lujiu pause. She turned around and looked at him. Most of Roger's face was hidden in the shadows, and she couldn't see the expression on his face clearly. "Children have to grow up after all..." Roger said solemnly. He turned to look at Lu Jiu. The abyss-like look in his eyes made Lu Jiu stunned.

"I thought that the disbandment of the Roger Pirates would allow her to understand the pain of separation and become stronger... But I still relented and let Rayleigh take her off the ship, but if she has always been like this, it's If she cannot survive in this world, she will one day be defeated by so much pain, and then she will not even have the courage to stand up again."

"She will always understand that this world is not as beautiful as what the books say. I want her to always have love for this world. Even if the people she loves are killed by this world, I want her to have the ability to continue to live in this world. The idea of ​​surviving in a terrible world.”

"Only by living will you have infinite possibilities. She will always grow up, so why can't she grow up while I can still protect her?"

"But... Vivian is still a child. Don't you think it's too cruel for you to force her to make a decision like this?" Lu Jiu finally asked.

Roger lowered his head, then raised his head: "Lujiu, the Roger Pirates have been disbanded, and Vivian has left home. The young eagle that leaves the nest must learn to spread its wings and fly. If it cannot fly, then it will All we can do is wait for death!”

Lu Jiu shook her head. She looked at the door with some distress: "Then Vivian..."

"Let her calm down outside for a while. Tomorrow... I'll ask you to put her on the ship. I will also leave with the ship to protect Vivian and reach the Chambord Islands safely. And I also want to see Rayleigh again." one side."

"Are you leaving tomorrow?"

"Sorry, Lujiu." Roger stood up and hugged Lujiu gently, pressing his chin on her head, "After I leave, I have to work hard for you..."

"What are you talking about?" Lu Jiu hugged Roger back, "Obviously I promised you myself and decided to support your decision!"

"I am indeed sorry for you..."

The two hugged each other tightly and were silent for a long time.

After a while, Roger suddenly shouted in a low voice: "Lujiu."

"Ok?"

"I love you!"

Lu Jiu chuckled softly. She looked up at Roger and stretched out her hand to trace his face, from his eyebrows to his chin, as if she wanted to carve his face firmly into her heart. Her eyes were filled with indescribable emotions. Thick, sweet happiness.

"I love you too, Roger!"
