Pirates: My Cool and Handsome Captain

"A queen."

"No."

“A 10.”

"No."

“…an 8.”

I impatiently turned the last card in my hand upside down on the table: "No."

Shaki winked at Ace, and Izo sat behind Ace and poked his waist quietly.

"...Then..." Ace looked at the three cards left in his hand in distress, and took out the smallest one and threw it on the table: "A 6."

The three of them looked at me expectantly.

"No!" I threw the cards on the table: "Oh! I said I didn't want to play, but you insisted on dragging me along. I only lost these two dollars!" I threw the last few Baileys on the table to Ace and rubbed my hair in annoyance.

"Hehe... I didn't expect your skills to be so poor. How about this, I'll take you shopping when we get to the next island?" Ace put the money into his trouser pocket with a playful grin.

Xia Qi pointed at the Bailey in his hand, and most of it was contributed by me.

"A little gambling is good for your health. Doria, you will learn it if you practice with us for a while."

It's easy to talk, I played all morning and didn't win a single hand! These bastards!

"How much did you lose? You're talking nonsense." Luo asked, standing behind me.

"Are you done?" I leaned on him and complained, "I lost all my monthly allowance. They bullied me."

Ace immediately retorted: "You can't say that, Doria. We didn't cheat. We won fairly. How can you say we are bullying?"

"I'm on Firefist's side this time, Captain. It's mainly because Doria doesn't know how to play, so she loses a lot."

"Really?" He patted my back and motioned me to stand up. "I want to see your card skills."

I sat aside and peeled an orange to eat. By the time I finished one and picked up the next one, Ace and Shaki had already lost two games. I was in a good mood and started chatting with Izang.

"Something happened. Marco left in a hurry." I handed the peeled orange to Izo.

"It's not a big deal. Marco can just go back and deal with it. He's in charge of everything on the ship."

I glanced at Ace who was having fun and asked quietly, "Why don't you nominate Marco as the new captain? Marco is a veteran of the Whitebeard Pirates and has been the deputy for many years. Logically, he is more suitable to be the captain than Ace."

Izo swallowed the orange in his mouth: "Dad's will is one thing, and on the other hand Marco has no ambition or idea to be a captain. He just wants the Whitebeard Pirates to sail the sea happily like when Dad was alive. Ace is different. He wanted to help Dad become the Pirate King, although Dad didn't have any idea about that position. When Dad just died, we were so confused that we didn't know what to do. Blackbeard recruited too many pirates to compete with us for territory. We were ready to avenge Dad even if it cost us our lives..."

At this point, Yi Zang sighed: "Now that I think about it, if we really went to war with Teach, many people would have died. Then, as you know, we retreated until that brat came back. His strength had improved a lot, his domineering aura had been trained well, and his character had matured. We began to plan to recover the territory we had lost before. Ace had the qualifications to become a king. He was so young and had ideas, and everyone was optimistic about him."

"Ace..." I looked at the boy playing cards on the other side. This troublesome boy also had a heavy burden on his shoulders.

"But isn't Trafalgar a little petty?"

"Hmm?" I didn't quite understand what Izou meant by that.

"Doria." Luo walked over with his long legs and sat down beside me, stuffing a thick stack of Baileys into my hand: "This is your pocket money."

"Wow!" I took it and looked at it: "Why is there so much? This is more than I have in two months."

Ace and Shaggy stared at my money with bitter faces.

"Of course, there's our money in there, okay."

I calmly took out a few tickets and gave them to the people who complained: "I'll buy you some chicken legs."

"What about me?" Luo also stretched out his hand to me: "I have been busy for so long, why should these two losers get a share of the money? What about me?"

I looked at his frivolous look and generously gave him half of it and stuffed it into his collar: "Overnight fee."

Luo licked his lips and smiled with an ambiguous meaning.

Ace laughed: "Hahahaha! Luckily mine was for chicken legs."

I rolled my eyes and said, "Get lost! I get angry just by seeing you, you idiot! When you have time, ask Izo and the others to take you to the red light district. If you don't have money, come and ask me for it. I'll prepare it for you."

Izang took a puff of smoke and started coughing: "Cough! Cough! Goodbye! Cough... Doria, we will prepare the money for Ace to have fun, so don't bother you."

Luo took the money out of his clothes, sorted it out and put it in his trouser pocket: "Who will he play with in the red light district?"

My brain seemed to explode, and I grabbed Luo's waist. "Shut up! Don't make Ace sound like an idiot. What's wrong with you?! Are you experienced?"

"Tsk! Your temper is getting worse and worse, Doria. It was not you who said you wanted to let Fire Fist have fun."

Ace suddenly caught fire. I quickly picked up the teapot on the table and poured water on it, but the fire was too big and one pot of tea was not enough.

I yelled, "Ace! What's wrong with you?! We're on the sea!"

"room!"

A bucket of water was poured on it, and fortunately nothing happened.

"Are you sick? Fire Fist Boss!"

Yi Zang smiled elegantly, and it was obvious that he was not surprised by this situation.

"It's all your fault. You said you were going to the red light district to have fun. Don't you have any shame?!"

"Are you underage?!" Luo hit Ace's head with the back of his knife. "Don't tell me you're still a virgin. Are you so embarrassed that you'll combust just because we just said a few words?!"

I bit my back teeth, ugh~

Ace opened his mouth and closed it silently.

At this time, Cleopatra ran over and said, "Captain! We found a small island ahead. Do you want to dock?"

Luo looked at the mess and said, "Let's go ashore, take a rest, and clean up the Polaris."

We all tacitly agreed not to mention what had just happened. The sea urchin beast transformed into a bald eagle to explore the way first. He quickly brought back the news that no signs of human life were found for the time being, so it might be an uninhabited island.

Bepo happily jumped off the Polaris and landed on the island with a group of people. Ace and Luo took Xiao Hongdou into the jungle to look for some prey. I chose to stay on the boat because there were poisonous insects on the island, and I was most afraid of them.

I ran to the warehouse and got some fruits, cut them into pieces and poured yogurt into them to make fruit salad. I took out the crystal bowl I bought earlier and put the fruit salad in it. Ikaku used his ability to make chocolate beans and sprinkled them on top. We both carried the food to the deck, and Ikaku found two lounge chairs and a parasol and put them away.

Everything was ready. We sat comfortably on the lounge chairs, enjoying the sea breeze and eating cool fruits. The sour and sweet taste had the unique aroma of chocolate beans. I happily gave Ikaku a thumbs up.

"Your ability is amazing. We don't need to buy chocolate anymore. This tastes really good."

Ikaku swallowed the food in his mouth and said embarrassedly: "I asked the captain about some of the development of the fruit. Once I am more familiar with it, I should be able to do more."

"In fact, you can refer to the development direction of Charlotte Perospero, the Minister of Candy in the Big Mom Pirates. He is the user of the Licking Fruit. He also went to the Onigashima Battle before and was encountered by Marco and Ace." I saw Ikaku looking thoughtful and said, "When Ace comes back, you can ask the Minister of Candy about his abilities. They must have some understanding of each other after fighting each other, which will help you develop your fruit abilities."

"You're right, Dorea, and thank you for giving me this devil fruit."

"Why are you so polite? I said before that I would help you with a devil fruit. We are lucky this time. The abilities of all three fruits are good. You must develop them well. I'm still waiting to eat chocolate cake." I winked at Ikaku, making her giggle.

The two were chatting casually when Pekin ran out of the jungle and shouted at me, "Doria! Come quickly, something happened! Something happened to the Captain and Fire Fist!!"

Hearing this, I hurriedly stood up and walked towards Pei Jin: "What's wrong? Explain it clearly!"

Pei Jin finally caught her breath, "Fire Fist found a kind of fruit, he tasted one and thought you would like it so he gave one to the Captain, the Captain ate it and soon after they both turned into children!! They were both so scary! Little Red Bean was knocked down by Fire Fist and wanted to be roasted!"

Me: !!!! Huh?!!!
