Pirates: I'll be with the Straw Hat Pirates in my old age

After knowing the truth about the so-called Island of God, Luffy and others returned to the Merry again.

But this time, their ship Merry seemed to have suffered heavy damage again.

"The mast is broken..." Usopp looked at the Merry in front of him and fell silent.

"Hey, Chopper, what happened?"

Below the altar, Zoro looked at the badly injured Merry with a serious expression, and then shouted again: "Chopper, are you okay? Where are you?"

"It couldn't have been chopped into pieces." Robin on the side said in a very calm tone, as if he was not involved.

"Don't talk so horribly!" Nami immediately lost her guard and yelled.

But at this moment, Chopper, covered in bandages, suddenly poked his head out from the railing of the boat.

When he saw the familiar figure, Chopper could no longer control his expression and tears could not stop flowing. However, when faced with everyone's questions, he still suppressed his pain and responded loudly: "Nothing!"

"Nothing happened."

"Hey! Chopper, we're back!" Luffy extended his arms again, and just when he wanted to use the same trick again to lead everyone up, Zoro and others suddenly jumped away as if they were under stress.

"Huh?" Luffy was also confused when he saw everyone who was facing a formidable enemy.

He tilted his head and looked at everyone in confusion, but Nami and the others said in a very firm tone: "You are not allowed to suddenly drag us away again."

"Otherwise I will kill you sooner or later!" Zoro drew his sword and bared his teeth at Luffy threateningly.

"Oh, Luffy, it seems no one likes your way of traveling." Yun Yi was floating in the air, his tone was light, he smiled at Luffy while sitting lazily.

"Then how do you get there?"

"That's none of your business!" After answering Luffy's question, Zoro immediately drew out his double swords, and then jumped onto the big tree next to him as quickly as a nimble monkey.

Then, he jumped quickly towards the Merry, and just when he was halfway through the jump and about to jump down, he held the knife in both hands and swung a strong air blade towards Yunhe below.

The sharp blade light stirred the sea of ​​clouds, releasing a not-so-obvious rebound force. With this force, Zoro successfully stayed in the air and returned to the Merry.

Seeing this, Luffy and Chopper on the boat suddenly looked at Zoro as if he were a god.

"Silk give!!"

Half-kneeling on the ground, Zoro held the sword in both hands in an eight-shaped shape. Then, he slowly put away the sword under Chopper's astonished gaze.

"Tsk, so pretentious!" Sanji exhaled a puff of smoke from the corner of his mouth, and used the Moon Step to easily board the ship.

"Oh, what about you guys?" After watching Zoro and Sanji board the ship, Luffy looked at Nami, Usopp and the others again.

"Haha, I have a way to get up there." After saying that, Nami took out a turquoise crystal from her chest.

As Nami held the crystal in her hand, a sudden gust of wind came out from the depths of the forest and blew Nami straight into the sky.

When Robin saw this, he silently used his ability fruit to grow a series of arms from the Merry and took her up.

"That's great!" Luffy couldn't help but marvel once again as he looked at his companions' various abilities to get on board.

Usopp's other abilities also aroused his curiosity. So when Robin boarded the ship, Usopp put his hands on his waist and shouted, "Yoshi, now it's my turn for 'Usopp ahhh' to appear!"

"Usopp? What is that?" Hearing such a strange name, Luffy and Chopper were immediately attracted.

"It's Usopp, ahhh~" Following a strange cry, a sharp claw rope flew out from his belt and grabbed the tall trees above his head.

The rope tightened, swinging Usopp into the air, and a melodious and piercing cry was heard again.

"Usopp ahhhh~"

"What am I expecting?" Yun Yi looked at Usopp who kept screaming in the air, and sighed speechlessly with his hand on his forehead.

Fortunately, he was a little looking forward to it just now.

However, this little gadget seemed to be quite popular with Luffy, and he actually stretched out his arms and followed suit.

"It's so fun, Usopp, I want to play too!!"

After everyone was asked to get on board, Yun Yi did not stay there any longer. He also shook his tail and slowly flew towards the bow.

……

"Usopp, I'm sorry, I failed to protect the ship." After the fun ended, Chopper said to Usopp with deep shame.

After everyone left, the Merry was also attacked by the priests.

On the empty Merry, Chopper was guarding the empty ship alone. Out of fear, he even put on the whistle that the air knight Gan Fowle had given him not long ago.

Unfortunately, after being attacked by the priest, even though Chopper blew the whistle given by the air knight Gan Ful in time and got support, he still couldn't escape the fate of being defeated.

Fortunately, Chopper and his friends were lucky and did not die.

On the side, Usopp looked at the mast of the Merry in silence, then smiled with relief and said, "It's okay, the ship can be repaired if it's damaged, as long as you're okay."

"Usopp..." Chopper was moved by Usopp's sudden comfort and burst into tears.

Time flies and the sky darkens.

Luffy and his friends did not choose to stay on the ship, but chose to camp on the island.

The bright bonfire flickered continuously, and the three idiots of the Straw Hat Band gathered together, arm in arm, singing their own songs that belonged to them, following the melodious music played by Yun Yi.

Nami dissatisfiedly accused Luffy and the others of ruining the wonderful music. Zoro sat cross-legged beside the campfire and enjoyed the food, while Sanji was cooking the food seriously.

The picture was very harmonious, except that Robin, who was sitting alone in the corner, was like a very discordant note. He sat there quietly, looking at everyone.

After the short banquet, everyone, tired from a day's work, fell into a deep sleep.

When the night becomes quiet again, the stars above our heads seem to shine brighter and seem as if we can pick them with our hands.

The vast river of stars stretches across the sky, more magnificent and clearer than what can be seen on land. Meteors streak across the sky from time to time, dragging long tails and disappearing in a flash.

The moonlight poured down like water onto the island clouds, covering everything with a quiet and soft silver veil. In the silence, only the subtle sound of the flowing sea of ​​clouds in the distance, accompanied by the gentle evening breeze, weaved into an ethereal night music, coaxing everyone on the sky island to sleep.

At this moment, Usopp, who was half asleep, slowly got up.

Boom!Boom!Boom!

Faint knocking sounds were heard one after another, like a shy elf, sneaking out to play when everyone was immersed in a wonderful dream.

Rubbing his sleepy eyes, Usopp subconsciously walked towards the human altar. The knocking sound penetrated the mist and reached Usopp's ears, waking him up instantly.

"Ghost? There is a ghost?!"

Usopp's legs couldn't help but tremble when he heard the knocking sounds coming from his ears, but when he heard that the sound came from the Merry, he still bravely followed.

dong dong dong! !

The knocking sounds became clearer, and as they got closer to the Merry, Usopp finally saw a hazy figure through the mist.

"There is really a ghost!"

Usopp muttered something and could no longer hold back, his eyes rolled back and he fell into a deep sleep.

Passing through the mist, Yun Yi sat on the newly repaired mast, quietly looking at the ship elves below.

"Meli, will you blame me for not saving you?" Yun Yi said with a slightly melancholy tone, playing lightly with the hammer in his hand.

"No..." A somewhat unreal voice came from the ship elf who was constantly repairing the deck with a wooden board without looking up, "Merry likes Yun Yi, and also likes Usopp and Luffy..."

"Merry likes to be your companion, but Merry knows that he can't always be with you."

As a ship elf, Merry is of course aware of his own body. With such strong waves on the sea and so many battles, it is impossible for him to accompany everyone to the end.

Especially since its keel has been broken, no matter how much it is repaired, it will be of no use.

"But as long as I can continue to hold it with you, even just once, Merry will be very happy..."

Yun Yi silently tapped his palm with the hammer. After a long time, he finally made up his mind.

"Merry, believe me, Merry will always be with the Straw Hat Pirates!"

When saying this, Yun Yi's tone was very firm, and when Meli, who was working, heard this, she subconsciously looked up at Yun Yi.

Its face could not be seen clearly under the hood of its yellow raincoat.

After a long time, Merry continued to thank him in a low voice with his illusory voice: "Yeah! I believe you!"

The ding-dong-dong knocking sounds echoed in the silence again, and everything seemed to have returned to its original tranquility.

The night is long, but there are always people who can't sleep...
