[One Piece Fan] I am more human than human

When Ariel finished changing her clothes from the room, Maginot gave her a cup of hot ginger soup when she came out. Although she might not really need this, she saw Luffy also got a cup of hot ginger soup and frowned. shouted

"I've grown up! I'm a man, I don't need this! I also want to drink like Shanks, wine!"

Almost all the people in the tavern were pirates, and I heard little Luffy keep yelling that he had grown up and wanted to drink! They all laughed and kept banging the table! Luffy, this idiot, didn't even know he was being tricked by the redhead.

The culprit, the red-haired one, was still provoking Luffy, so he was really a child, so he was easily fooled. The redhead noticed that Ariel had also changed clothes and came out, and waved to her and shouted loudly

"Oh~! Ellie-chan is out too! Our little hero is out too!"

"Oh~!" "Little hero~!" "You did a great job today! Ariel-chan!"

Ariel thought to herself who allowed them to call her Ellie! But Ariel walked out slowly as if nothing had happened, and sat on the high stool next to Luffy. She was about two people away from the red hair, but the red hair directly carried the rice bowl and walked over to sit down. Ariel asked happily from the position on the right

"You're finally out! Ellie-chan!"

Many people looked at what the red hair did and tried to coax him.

"Oh~! What is the captain doing!" "Don't get so close to other girls~!" "Are you trying to trick others into boarding the ship again?" "You still have a crush on other girls!"

The red-haired man was so angry that he was said to be like a gangster, so he shouted angrily.

"It's so noisy! You guys, please be quiet!"

Then he looked at Ariel with a smile and said softly.

"Hi! Ellie-chan, my name is Shanks! I haven't introduced myself yet!"

"Uh...hello."

Shanks moved slightly closer to Ariel and spoke in a lower voice.

"I heard from the village chief that Ellie-chan is a mermaid?"

Ariel was frightened for a while after hearing this. Her pupils shrank slightly. Ariel turned her neck stiffly and looked at Shanks with an ugly face. Shanks was embarrassed by Ariel's appearance. , touched his head and said

"Oops! I'm just asking, Ellie-chan, don't be nervous, I won't do anything to you!"

Ariel stared at Shanks's eyes for a long time. After making sure that he didn't have any small thoughts, she relaxed a little and said to him.

"What's the matter with you?"

"I want to say if you want to join us and join us in our adventure!"

Luffy secretly heard that he was unhappy and shouted angrily

"What! Why! Why can Ellie get on the boat with you! Why! It's not fair!"

Shanks looked at Luffy through Ariel and yelled angrily

"By the way, don't eavesdrop on other people's chats! Luffy!"

"Why! Why can Ellie-chan get on the boat with you! Why!"

"Huh~huh~! Baga~! Who told you that you are still a brat~!"

"Damn~! I've grown up!"

Before Ariel could say anything, Luffy and Shanks were already quarreling across Ariel. Ariel walked out from between the two of them speechlessly, and sat on the other side of the bar, far away from the two of them, drinking her own hot ginger soup.

"You don't have to listen to our idiot captain!"

Ariel heard the sound and turned to look at the person who spoke, who seemed to be their deputy captain Beckman. He took a puff of cigarette, blew out a smoke ring, looked at Ariel and said again.

"Our idiot captain talks like this sometimes. You can ignore him because he is an idiot without thinking. By the way, my name is Beckman, and I am the deputy captain of those guys."

Ariel was a little shocked that there were serious people on this ship!

"Uh-huh... ok."

After finishing speaking, Ariel looked down at the ginger soup in her hand, which was steaming and swirling. She was really thinking seriously about whether to go to sea with them. Although she didn't mean to join their pirate group, she just wanted to take the opportunity to catch up with them. Take a boat to go where you want to go.

At night, Ariel returned to the mountain and went to her own little base. She sat by the lake and turned her legs into snake tails and put them in the water to relax. She looked at the moonlight at night and listened to the sound of the wind. He rarely took out the man's exclusive phone bug from his pocket, dialed the number, and waited for the call to be connected. After a burst of blubbering sounds, the call was connected!

After a while of silence, Ariel spoke first,

"Moxi Moxi, it's me, Ariel."

"Fufu~! I didn't expect you to take the initiative to come to me."

"What's wrong~, have you finally decided to join us?"

"Don't be so hasty yet, I have other things to say."

"Oh~, what's the matter?"

"I'm going to get out of here."

"...Do you need me to send someone to pick you up?"

"No, I'll go by myself."

"...What's the meaning?"

"I'm going to go somewhere else to have something to do with my mother."

"Then what? Do you want to escape!"

The phone bug's expression already showed Doflamingo's unkind expression, the corners of his mouth were lowered, and the veins on his brows were bulging. Ariel is now basically no longer as nervous in front of Doflamingo as before, at least she is no longer afraid.

"I'm not finished yet."

"...Furafur~, you say."

"When I finish the investigation, I will go back to find you. Then you can give me the location and I will find you myself."

"...How can I be sure that what you said is true?"

"Don't worry, I have to rely on you to help me find my mother again. She won't run away."

"Fufufu! I didn't say that~!"

"I don't care, I'm going to leave tomorrow."

"So anxious?"

"Yes, it's a rare opportunity. I can catch a ride."

"Who! Whose boat?"

"Don't worry about this."

"You've become a lot more courageous! Ariel!"

Ariel raised her lips and smiled softly, saying

"If you don't have the courage, you won't be qualified to join your family!"

"Fufufufu~! It's my fault, you're right."

Ariel didn't want to talk nonsense anymore. After finishing the conversation with Doflamingo, she got up and planned to go to Dadan and Ace to say goodbye.

Dadan was surprised when he saw Ariel appear. They were finishing dinner and picking their teeth.

Ariel entered the room and didn't see Ace's figure. She asked Dadan doubtfully,

"Where did Ace go?"

"Ace? Go take a shower."

"Oh, really, then I'll wait a moment, by the way, Dadan."

"Huh? Nani?"

"I'm leaving tomorrow."

Dadan said calmly, "Oh, that's it." After a while, he shouted in surprise

"What! You're leaving!"

"Yeah, I'm leaving. I plan to go to sea tomorrow. I don't know when I'll be back next time."

Ace was already standing at the door without knowing it. He looked at Ariel in shock and said

"What! You're leaving! But you're not an adult yet!"

"Ace, you know my survivability, you and I are incomparable!"

"hateful!"

"I'm here to talk to you."

"I...I won't send you off!"

"I see."

"I really won't give it to you!"

"Ah."

Ace said very loudly, but Ariel still had the same expression, no change, and Ace jumped in anger.

After Ace calmed down, he sat down, looked at Ariel seriously and said

"I will definitely surpass you in the future! I will definitely."

Ariel smiled at him and narrowed her eyes, because he had finally accepted Ariel's decision to go to sea early, and he could only let go of his bold words to her.

"Then you have to take care of yourself!"

"...Um."
