Pirates: My Cool and Handsome Captain

Due to Doria's injury and some of my own problems, I chose to leave her on Daughter Island temporarily. After all, what I was going to do later was too dangerous.

I was not eager to enter the "new world" because my goals were different from those of the pirates. Now, I needed an identity, an identity that would allow me to have no worries.

The king is under the Qibuhai.

This is the identity of a "legal" pirate proposed by the World Government. As long as a portion of their income is handed over to the government, they can move freely at ordinary times and the corresponding bounty will also be stopped.

After much deliberation, I planned the Rocky Port Incident, raised the bounty to 4 million Baileys, and harvested the hearts of 4 pirates as small gifts for the navy. Finally, I got the identity of Shichibukai.

Before heading to Punk Hazard, I called a meeting of all the crew members and told them that I would go alone, and Bepo would take the others to Zou to wait for me. Of course, if I unfortunately failed in this operation and died, they would not have to wait for me anymore.

Bebo was very sad and cried a lot. Shaqi and Pekin didn't agree that I should go alone, but I had made up my mind and would not change it.

Xia Qi asked me: "Captain, what about Doria? You said you would go pick her up."

"...If I can come back this time, we will go to pick her up together." I remembered the scene two years ago when the woman stood on the shore to see us off. Leaving her on Daughter Island is the safest and most appropriate way.

"Doria will be very angry. It has been delayed long enough, and now you want to act alone." Pei Jin was very annoyed and tried to persuade me: "Let Bepo take the others to Zou, Shaqi and I will go with you, and we can help you if there is anything." Pei Jin said with a choked voice: "Captain, even if I die, I don't want you to die alone in a corner we don't know."

"Don't talk nonsense! The captain won't die!" Xia Qi shouted at him, but wiped his tears aside: "Doria will be very angry if she knows, she will beat us to death."

I looked at the two of them helplessly. Pekin, Shaki and Bepo have lived with me since I was very young. I understand that they want to be with me, but this is my own business and I have to accomplish it by myself. As for Doria...it's better for her to be angry than to die with me.

After confirming the itinerary, I lay alone on the bed in the captain's room, looking at the ceiling with my hands unconsciously placed beside me. I hadn't seen her for two years and didn't know how she was doing. When I contacted her through Den Den Mushi before, I could hear her tone and she must have been happy. Although she always complained that I didn't pick her up, she was in high spirits. She was practicing with the people on Daughter Island, which I thought was good. At least she had the ability to protect herself in this chaotic environment.

I sighed with some regret. Who would want to experience loneliness when they have had a happy life? I have to admit that my memories with Doria made me realize how long the dark night is.

At this moment I have to admit, Doria, I miss you so much.

However, sometimes things develop very differently from what I expected.

I actually met Dorea in Punk Hazard!

Looking at the thinly dressed woman in front of me, I doubted my eyes. Why was she here?!

Doria was shivering in the extremely cold weather. She naturally leaned towards me, as if we had not been separated for two years. She naturally and subconsciously depended on me, and her words were full of coquettishness. I hurriedly put my clothes on her and found new clothes for myself.

I didn't have time to ask her in detail, so I had to let her hide behind me while I dealt with the troublesome navy soldiers first. But when I came back with the navy's heart, there was no one behind me, and Doria also ran away.

As worrying as always!

I casually sent Caesar away and left with an excuse. After thinking it over again and again, I decided to find the leader of the Straw Hat Army. It would be smoother if he participated in the subsequent plans.

I found them in a ruin behind the snow-capped mountains. I saw Doria being attacked from afar, and I knew it!

Seeing her being forced to roll in the snow, I joined the battle, threw Doria to a safe open space, and got rid of the big killer. There was another petrified killer not far away. I knew that these two people were found by Caesar. It seems that she has grown a lot in the past two years.

The negotiations for an alliance with the Straw Hat leader went unexpectedly smoothly. I don’t quite understand what that guy is thinking, but as long as it doesn’t affect the plan it’s fine.

Now that the alliance is settled, I can finally interrogate Doria about why she is here.

She looked even smaller in my cotton-padded jacket, her face was red from the cold and she stood there stamping her feet.

I beckoned her to come over with my finger.

"Come on, tell me, Master Doria, why are you here with Master Straw Hat?"

She stammered about what happened to Bepo and the others in Zou.

So she followed the Straw Hat Master to the New World and even thought of going to Zou to find Bepo? Did she know how dangerous it was on the way to Zou?!

I wanted to teach her a lesson, but before I could say anything, Doria became more and more excited and started crying as she spoke. In such cold weather, her tears would freeze to her face!

I pulled her to my side, thinking that I had indeed left her out by herself for too long, and her being in the Straw Hat Pirates was too much of an eyesore. She was clearly one of his crew members, so why did she have to follow him around like the Straw Hat guy's little brother?

And Doria became dazed. I was still talking to her about her private actions, but she had already turned the page and asked me to cut clothes for her.

However, she has not changed in her ability to read other people's faces. When she saw that I did not pursue the matter of her running around, she immediately took advantage of the situation and hugged my neck and acted coquettishly.

How come you are still so short after two years? Don’t you eat well?

The little thief cat leader of the Straw Hat Pirates asked Dorea: "You and your captain are not the kind of relationship that is based on appearance as you said."

Just look at the face?

I looked at Doria, who was looking at me in panic and trying to explain. So this is how she told others about our relationship?

Seriously speaking, there is nothing wrong with what Doria said. We started out as a drunken couple and never confirmed what our relationship was. I never said anything and she never asked, but we ended up sleeping in the same bed in such a confused state.

I didn't want to give her a chance to explain, so I said, "She is my woman, she is my fiancée."

It was a little inconsiderate of me to say that, but I didn't want anyone to think we had any more than a superficial relationship.

I didn't care how the Straw Hat Pirates watched the fun. Doria was panicked and wanted to explain, but I impatiently cut off her tongue. When I saw that she was so angry that her face got even redder, I gave her the tongue back.

It can completely solve the problem fundamentally for those words I don’t want to hear.

I made a plan, and everyone in the Straw Hat Pirates executed it half-heartedly. There were some unexpected events in the middle, but fortunately the result was what I wanted.

While the child was being operated on, the Straw Hat Pirates were already preparing to hold a party. I really don't understand. At such a tense moment, that guy could come after them at any time. Why would they hold a party if they weren't planning to escape?!

Doria was also very interesting. She brought a big python wrapped in a quilt and told me that she was raising it as her daughter.

This pet of hers is quite aggressive. I just wanted to pull Doria away, but the python stood up and looked like it wanted to fight with me? It's really funny. Doria sat on the snake's head and looked at me pitifully. What was that look in her eyes? Did I need to bother with a pet snake?

But I didn't expect that in addition to the pet snake, she also gave me something else that surprised me.

This fat Den Den Mushi looks like a ball.

The hat on that Den Den Mushi's head is very similar to the one I'm wearing.

I asked hesitantly, "Is this... the Den Den Mushi I gave you?"

Doria held it up in front of me and said, "How is it? I'm raising it very well, right? Everyone who has seen Little Fatty says that I raise it well. They have never seen a Den Den Mushi like this one."

I think what they said is right. How could she raise a Den Den Mushi like this? Is it obesity? Would the signal of such a Den Den Mushi be stronger?

I couldn't help laughing out loud. Dorea was a little unhappy, so I had to use this Den Den Mushi to contact Bepo and the others.

As soon as I got through, I heard Peikin's voice on the other end: "Hello, is this Doria? Are you okay? Where have you been? We discussed it and decided that we would pick you up when you get to Fire Fist. How's that? Isn't that thoughtful?"

Great! It seems that this group of people have discussed it before.

I walked away with the Den Den Mushi to contact Pekin and the others. I had hardly contacted them since I boarded Punk Hazard. I was on guard against Caesar and Monet every day, and kept thinking about what to do next. The unexpected encounter with Dorea gave me a moment of respite.

"So you guys are also aware of this woman running around?" My question stunned the person on the other end of the Den Den Mushi.

Peikin quickly responded: "Hey? Um, is that the captain?"

There was a mess on the Den Den Mushi side, and soon Bepo's voice came: "Captain?! Are you with Dorea? Are you okay? Are you safe? I miss you so much!!"

"Captain! Captain, have you met Doria? Where are you? Do you need us to pick you up?"

"captain!"

"captain!"

It's so noisy...

"I met Dorea in Punk Hazard. You don't need to go to the Fire Fist to pick her up. Just stay in Zou. I will meet you after I finish my business."

"But Captain, since you are going to take Dorea with you, can we go with you?"

The big eyes of the Den Den Mushi are full of anticipation.

"Just wait in Zou and don't run around like Doria."

Bepo has loved crying since he was a child, and he is a little fragile inside. Although he has been sailing with me for many years, this problem has improved a lot, but when he heard that I didn't let him come over, he started crying again. I ignored Bepo's crying and hung up the Den Den Mushi.

If you want to cry, wait until you receive the news of my death.
