[One Piece] Pirate Life of Port Officers

"boom--"

"Hey! What's wrong with you?! What happened!"

Ace this guy...

Sa Lai, who was just being careless, was eating the fruit on the dinner plate, helplessly turned her head, looked at Ace who fell face down in the food, endured and endured, restrained and pinched him by the neck to put him The urge to shake awake.

With the Navy nearby, it's better for her to keep a low profile.And Ace is so old, it's not good to educate him in public, and he will be taken away later to teach him a lesson—wait!Is Alabasta's navy so idle? !Still coming to them?

Seeing that there were more and more crowds of onlookers, Sarai left a short explanation before the crying boss held her hand, and then decisively pulled Shanks out of the way.

"My brother just fell asleep. Boss, you don't have to make a fuss. I put the money here. Thank you for your hospitality."

"Asleep?! Hey, wait—"

Wait for that troublesome smoker that Kevin said is coming!He felt that it would be better to avoid troublesome guys, after all, she had to deal with too many troublesome things recently, and it would be too scary to add another troublesome navy with perseverance.

Thinking of this, Shalai dragged Shanks into the crowd, randomly picked a nearby perfume stall, and pretended to be a tourist picking out perfume.

Rapeseed Flower, a port city famous for its perfume, has some good quality perfumes even in small stalls.Sha Lai, who was just trying to pass the time and wait for Ace to come out, was aroused, excitedly picked it up, and turned around from time to time to ask Shanks for his opinion.

"What do you think of the perfume, Jack? Jack?"

After discovering that the man beside her was staring thoughtfully at the street ahead, Sha Lai frowned slightly, expanded the scope of her knowledge, and found a very interesting thing, or a person.

"Eraser - bazooka!"

"Whoa-"

Listening to the bustling sounds in the restaurant, Sha Lai raised her eyebrows, looked playfully at the man with bright eyes beside her, and asked in a low voice: "What a coincidence, the new era you are optimistic about has also landed in this city. How is it? Anyway, you have changed your face now, so going to see him is not a breach of the agreement."

"No, forget it." Shanks rejected Shalai's proposal without hesitation, looked at the direction of the bustling restaurant and smiled, "An agreement is an agreement."

"In this way," Sarai followed his gaze, clutched his chin and thought for a while, when a vigorous young man wearing a straw hat rushed out with his cheeks covered and his mouth covered, he revealed a face that made Shanks A cold smile down the spine.

"But that's an agreement between you and Luffy, it has nothing to do with me." Sarai quickly bought the bottles of perfume she liked and stuffed them into Shanks' hands, then walked over there, "You go back first Wait for me on the merchant ship. I'm going to see what kind of kid you can bet on your left hand."

"Wait! Sha, uh, Ann!" After receiving the threatening gaze, Shanks changed his words abruptly, and then his words lost the momentum at the beginning, "Well, don't you still want to talk to Ace? Just don't-"

"Wait! Luffy! It's me—"

Ace rushed out of the restaurant like a gust of wind, followed behind the white-haired navy in a justice coat, shouting while running, just like a primary school student who came home from school to invite friends and friends.

"Just right, it seems that the two of them will meet together, which saves me a lot of trouble."

Sha Lai patted the non-existent dust on the skirt, not giving Shanks a chance to refute again, tapped her toes lightly, and disappeared in an instant.

"This is really..."

Shanks, who was left in place, sighed distressedly, and silently mourned for Ace Luffy for three seconds in his heart without sincerity.

Sorry both of you, I couldn't stop Sha Lai.She has been in a bad mood recently because she hides from the navy every day, and she probably wants to have fun with you.But there is a word to say, oh, Caiyi Yuqin.You should dedicate your pain for the good mood of your sister.

You can't grow into a man without going through trials!

The more Shanks thought about it, the more he felt it made sense, so he walked towards the tavern with a bunch of perfume in his arms without any psychological burden.

In the future, when she meets Ace, she will definitely talk for a long time. If she asks this and that, if she doesn't take this opportunity to drink two more glasses, she will never have another chance when she returns to the merchant ship.

In this way, he would also like to thank Ace and Luffy for their appearance to help him draw Shalai's attention.

Well, it's really a good seed he likes, with potential, let's work hard!

***

More than ten minutes later, on the Port Meri——

"But, I can win now!" Lu Fei, who was sitting cross-legged on the side of the boat, smiled happily. He was an optimist when he met his brother whom he hadn't seen for a long time, and the corners of his mouth almost reached his ears in joy.

"He said he was better than you, Ace."

"Listen to his nonsense! Luffy, who do you think you are better than?!"

Two somewhat unfamiliar voices suddenly appeared on the Merry, and the black-haired man wearing an orange cowboy hat landed on the side of the ship with his hat pressed down with one hand, squeezing Luffy who was sitting there.

"Ace!" Luffy, who fell headfirst on the deck, immediately laughed when he saw the person coming, turned over and jumped back to his feet.

After three years, the two brothers finally reunited, just standing one by one and squatting down to talk about the past.

......

"This note can let us meet next time, don't you want it?"

"No, I want it!"

"So, this note that lets you and Shanks see each other again, would you like it?"

"You know Shanks? It's not your fault—!" Hearing the name of the person he admired, Luffy immediately turned his head, only to find that a woman he had never seen before appeared beside him at some point.

"You are the woman who just spoke before Ace!" The green algae-headed swordsman pushed the handle of the knife with his thumb, and looked at the black-haired woman who suddenly appeared warily, "You can lurk on our ship for so long, what on earth are you—"

His voice stopped abruptly when he saw the woman's face clearly.

That was the face he had seen countless times in taverns as a bounty hunter, and was always posted on the wanted list at the top of the bounty list—the Siren Shalai.

Although her bounty is not the highest in the world, catching her is equivalent to having the most extensive intelligence network in the world.Whether it's a person who walks in the gray area or a leader in both black and white, all of them hope to take her under their command and strengthen their own strength.

And not just him, except for Luffy on the Meri, everyone remembered her identity the moment they saw her.Legends with mysterious colors can always spread widely. Even Weiwei who grew up in the palace has heard rumors of sea monsters to some extent.

"Don't be nervous, I'm not here to fight. Don't call me Navy that ugly nickname, just call me Xilai." Xilai didn't seem to notice the current tense atmosphere, she smiled to the people around her He nodded his head as a greeting, and his right hand still maintained the posture of handing out the paper, "How about Luffy? Don't you really want to see him?"

"Love...love, love!" To everyone's surprise, Luffy, who didn't like to think, grabbed his straw hat as if trying to remember something, and then suddenly clapped his hands with his fists. It suddenly dawned on him, "You are what Shanks has been looking for. You are so worrying, you know how to be brave, and leave behind your friends who don't know where to go!"

"..."

Take care, Shanks.

Seeing Shalai's brighter smile, Ace silently lowered the brim of his hat a little, trying to reduce his sense of existence.

"So Shanks found you!" As the only person on the deck who didn't notice the change in the atmosphere, Luffy still broke the news happily, "But really don't leave them alone and run away, Shanks and the others I miss you so much, I even have to leave a place for you to put your photo on at the banquet."

"..."

Seeing Widowmaker appearing behind Sarai, Ace began to think about the feasibility of running away.

"Yesop and the others will hold your picture and cry when they are drunk, saying that if you don't come back, the grievances of the dissatisfied boss will sink the Foss. Well, but usually at this time Makino will quickly Take me away, and I don't quite know what they said next."

"..."

Shut up, Luffy!If you go on, your savior really won't live to the day when you enter the new world to meet him!

When Ace had already stepped over the side of the ship with one foot, Shalai, who had been silent and smiling since Luffy opened his mouth, finally spoke: "Thank you for telling me these interesting past events, Luffy. Don't worry, I will definitely do it when I go back." Talk to them and make them understand that I will never leave."

As she spoke, she raised the white note in her hand, and repeated the question that brought her many 'surprises': "This note can help you meet Shanks, do you want it?"

"I don't want it." Luffy refused without blinking his eyes, "I will go to meet Shanks with my companions after I become a great pirate, so I don't need your help."

Well, how many years has it been since the last time someone was rejected categorically like this?

Sha Lai looked at Lu Fei as if he was stating the facts, with a natural and confident expression, and hooked the corners of his mouth.

"Hey! Luffy, don't be disrespectful to the lady."

"Look at the occasion when you're in heat! Lustful cook! How dare you accept a gift from a woman like a siren?!"

The originally dull atmosphere dissipated after Luffy's smiling but firm words.The swordsman and the chef started a daily quarrel, and Weiwei, the only one who still insisted on treating guests with etiquette, stepped forward to persuade the fight. The reindeer with a hat shrank behind Nami, looking at strangers curiously, and Uso, who had always been timid, Because Pu Ze heard his father's name, he began to rack his brains on how to approach him.

The brothers Luffy and Ace ignored the surrounding environment and talked about the past with a smile.

"...As captain, I have to fix this or I won't go back."

"The next time we meet, we will be at the highest peak of pirates!"

"Well, although I don't really want to interrupt your friendly exchange of feelings, but five enemy ships were spotted at three o'clock, and it seems that the target is you~."

She rested her chin to appreciate the cross talk in front of her for a while, and then Sha Lai slowly reminded them, successfully surprising them.

"Hey! That's hundreds of millions of messengers! What should we do!"

"What should I do! I can only run now."

Ace also planned to leave when there was chaos on the Merry.

"There is an idiot younger brother, who is very worried."

"You can't do anything about him, but I'll leave it to you in the future."

As he said that, Ace jumped aboard the Strike, the flames soared into the sky, and the boat rushed out at a terrifying speed, and in the blink of an eye, it was in front of five large ships that were a hundred times its size.

"Hey! Is he serious? It's too much anyway!" Usopp yelled nervously while grabbing the edge of the boat.

"Don't worry," Sha Lai smoothed the broken hair on her forehead in the wind, her smiling eyes were full of pride, "He is my younger brother—Fire Fist Ace, such a small character can be dealt with in one blow .”

"younger brother--!!!"

As soon as Shalai said this, it seemed that it was not a big deal for Ace to sink five ships with one blow. They all opened their mouths and turned to look at her in surprise—even including Luffy.

"That's right, because of some things, we only met each other recently. But in this way, you are also my younger brother, Luffy, and you are welcome to come and play with me." Seeing that it was late, Sha Lai expanded the scope of knowledge, captured Shanks raised his eyebrows at the back of his position, and appeared on the shore with his toes.

"By the way, the oranges on your boat are delicious. I took some of them in a basket to satisfy my hunger. I hope you don't mind. Well, this is fruit money." With a flick of her hand, Xi Lai took out a small bag of good-quality oranges. The broken diamond was thrown to Nami, who was about to explode, and successfully got a loving sister.

Under the scorching sun of Alabasta, Sarai glanced at the members of the Straw Hat Pirates on the Meri with a smile, and stayed on Luffy and Usopp for a moment, and finally waved to them, saying goodbye leave.

"Then, Shanks, Jesop and I are waiting for you at the top of the pirates. You must come, Luffy, Usopp!"
