[OP] The Story of Ming Shi

"People...you should try your best to do what you want to do when you are young." The man raised his hand with difficulty, and touched the head of the boy who was kneeling by the bed, "Just do whatever you want."

The young man shook his head, and held the hand that had dropped powerlessly, "I will not leave uncle alone."

There were marks left by the years on the man's face, and he laughed.

"My time is running out... So Sora, it's time for you to make some preparations."

The boy clenched his fists and pursed his lips: "That's not the case!"

The man shook his head, closed his eyes, and breathed calmly and evenly.

The boy lowered his head and drooped his eyelids.

After a long time, the boy said softly.

"I see……"

I'll be ready to go to sea...until the day you go.

"Are you really going to travel like this? Just you, with a boat."

"Didn't I say that at that time? I will go to sea in a month."

The one who spoke was a teenager wearing a light red hoodie with a residual red turban on his forehead. He had light blonde hair cut and was sitting on the railing, his two white legs exposed from under the black shorts kept shaking with.

The blond man took a deep breath of the cigarette, and then made circles one after another.

"I said Sora, you underestimate the sea."

"I don't have one." The boy called Sora leaned on the railing and looked up at the sky, "It's Sanji-san, you will make me think that the cooks don't want me to leave..."

Sanji twitched his mouth: "It's not like you don't know, because the pirate waiters who came to make trouble a few days ago all ran away! Once you left, there was not even a waiter."

"I'm just a handyman." Sora rolled his eyes at Sanji, "I'll ask the boss for my salary in a while."

"Hey, hey! Don't change the subject, you underestimate the sea!" Sanji pointed at Sora, "Have you prepared food and fresh water before you go to the sea! You will definitely starve to death before you reach the land !"

"No, I came out from the island where I live... You see, this is the East China Sea, but it's been a long journey!" Soraby rowed, "Food and water... this sea There is everything in it, and if you are lucky, you can find shellfish, kelp, fish..."

"...Even if your swimming skills are good, you can't use it like this..." Sanji has no power to argue with Sora any more. If the boat where Sora was in hadn't been spotted by the sharp-eyed guy, it is estimated that this guy has been buried by now. the sea!

"You must be thinking about what happened at that time..." Sora concluded, "I just fell asleep at the time, if I woke up, I would naturally make some food to fill my stomach... Well, it's just not as delicious as everyone else's cooking. "

"You want to eat the food made by everyone? That's easy, you can eat it every day if you stay here." Sanji held Sola and said cautiously.

"...I see, I'll leave when the guys find a new waiter." Sola pouted, "But I can't stay here forever."

Sora looked at the sky, the sea wind ruffled his light blond hair.

"Actually, I quite like this place, but..." Sora lowered his head, his sea-blue eyes stared straight at the sea below, "Sanji-san, I have to go."

Three days later, a group of new waiters came to the sea restaurant and started their busy work.

At the same time, Sora was saving his wages and walking the corridors, and it was time to fulfill the promise.

Sola returned to the boat with his own backpack, and the amount of salary in his hand was slightly doubled than expected.

"Isn't this the price that was agreed at the beginning?" Sora thought in disbelief, "It's obvious that you can get so much salary just as a handyman? A handyman..."

"I think it's still cheap for the old man." Sanji untied the hemp rope tied to the stake for Sora. To be honest, he had never seen such a strong and capable handyman, and the salary didn't seem much at all.

"Sure enough, I should return some to Boss Zeff..." Sola was still thinking about it.

"Wait, these are all yours! Let me tell you why you don't have the heart to double the salary after doing the work of so many people? You are a handyman with a gold medal!" Sanji kicked off Sora's boat, " let's go!"

"Eh? Gold medal handyman, me?" Before Sola could react, he was praised!

Sora didn't remember to wave goodbye to Sanji until the boat drifted some distance away from the sea restaurant.

"Come again!" Sanji waved the hand that was still holding the lit cigarette, leaving a little smoke ring in the air.

The boat has drifted far away, Sora lowered his arms, looked at the smaller restaurant on the sea, and muttered to himself: "Come again...it would be nice if I could come..."

The boat drifted far away along the current.

"The world is very wide, Sola." The man rubbed the head of the boy sitting next to him, "One day, you will find your companion... not here, maybe in a farther place ..."

The man's face was a little haggard, but he still showed a smile.

"Sola, go to sea. Go see the outside world..."

"Uncle..." Sora spat out two words, and then his vision gradually became clear, facing the shimmering sky, surrounded by the deep blue sea.

The boat swayed with the beating of the waves, Sola could only feel the salty smell of seawater in his nostrils.

Sola sat up, the morning sea breeze was a little bit cool.

"What, it turned out to be a dream." Sora lay down again leaning on his arms, and the boat shook twice, splashing a little water.

Sola closed his eyes and took a nap for a while, in a daze he seemed to hear the sound of breaking through the sky.The sound was getting closer, closer... Sora opened his eyes a little, and he saw something flying towards him, without any sleepiness.

It was a sooty cannonball.

Sola immediately picked up his backpack and jumped out of the boat.

The small wooden boat was blown to pieces as a matter of course.Sora stared blankly at the pieces of his backpack, his ship...

Who blew up his boat!Sora turned from grief to anger, shook her wet hair, and looked in the direction of the shell.

There was a small dhow with a black flag with a skull on it.

Pirates?Sola sneered twice, stepped on the water and swam there calmly.

But Sora didn't expect that the boat turned around and came towards him, when the boat came in front of him, the rope ladder was lowered, and he climbed up without much thought.He's not afraid of being robbed... If he really wants to rob himself... heh heh... just beat them into pigs' heads.

When Sora didn't turn his fantasies into reality because he was kept apologizing as soon as he got on the boat.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry! It's this brat who can't use a gun and wants to try again! He deserves to die! Hey! Luffy, you kid, come and apologize too!" said a man with a long nose and a plaid turban, and Press hard on the head of the kid wearing a straw hat.

"I'm very sorry!" said the straw hat boy very seriously.

Sola was dazed by the series of sorry, he sighed, and said: "...Since you didn't mean it, I don't blame it."

"Really? That's great!" The boy with the long nose patted his chest and breathed a sigh of relief.

"But!" Sora put down the wet backpack and brushed away a lock of hair, "Because you damaged my boat, you have to pay for it."

"Compensation? Okay, I understand!" The long-nosed boy patted the straw hat kid on the shoulder, "He broke the boat, you can find him."

Sora shifted his gaze to the Straw Hat Kid.

The straw hat boy tilted his head and thought for a while, then turned to the direction of the cabin, and shouted at the orange-haired girl who had been standing by the door just now: "Hey, Nami! Lend me some money!"

"Okay, but you have to pay me three times the amount." The orange-haired girl replied.

"Huh? I don't have that much money!" The Straw Hat Boy quit.

Sola couldn't take it anymore, and interjected: "Actually, you can just pay me a small boat."

"But apart from the Merry, we only have a lifeboat." The orange-haired girl said, "I can't give you a lifeboat, can I?"

"I don't really care about it." Sola said, the fishing boat he was on before was also very simple.

"No...that would be unnavigable, and there are no islands nearby." The orange-haired girl objected, "And if something happens to us and we need to use the lifeboat, what should we do if we just give it to you?"

The boy with the long nose pointed at the orange-haired girl and yelled, "Hey, don't be crowed!"

Sora lowered his head and thought about it, and what the orange-haired girl said made sense: "Then you guys give me a ride first, and then I'll get a boat myself."

"OK, you come up first, the clothes are all wet, I'll find some clean ones for you to change into." The orange-haired girl said, and walked into the room, and Sola followed her into the cabin.

Putting on the clothes prepared by the orange-haired girl, Sora pushed open the door of the bathroom, went to the deck to empty out all the contents of his backpack, and picked up the clothes to dry.On the deck, the long-nosed boy and the straw hat boy were still fiddling with cannons, and the long-nosed boy successfully blew up a rock.Besides that, there was a green-haired man sleeping with three knives on the deck.

Four people... Sora walked into the cabin, looked at the orange-haired girl who was concentrating on studying the chart, and remembered something.

"Hey...is this a pirate ship?" Sora asked, "Are you pirates? It doesn't look like..."

"Ah? That's right." The orange-haired girl raised her head and smiled at Sora, "I'm Nami the Navigator, this pirate group...was established only recently, and the pirate flag was only drawn today."

"Oh..." Sora silently looked at the three people on the deck through the round window, is there only four pirates?

Afterwards Nami the navigator called everyone into the house. The man with green hair looked at Sora for a long time and asked Nami beside him, "Is there such a person on our ship?"

"Listen to me Zoro! Luffy blew up his boat when he used the cannon just now!" said the long-nosed boy.

"I didn't mean it!" The Straw Hat Kid pouted.

"Cough...my name is Sora, and I'm a traveler. I have a question..." Sora interrupted the interaction between them, "There are only four pirates...how do they work together?"

"Ah, I'll let my captain Usopp explain it to you..." The boy with the long nose moved closer to Sora excitedly.

At this moment, the straw hat boy beat up the boy with a long nose: "Hey, I'm the captain!"

Then the straw hat kid said with a smile: "I am Monkey D. Luffy, the man who will become the One Piece!"

Sora's face was full of confusion, is there any necessary connection between the division of labor and One Piece?

"Hey—I'm—" Usopp wanted to say something, but was stopped by the green-haired man.

"Enough Usopp, obediently go back to your sniper position!"

Sora looked at him, this man should be the oldest among the four, he was the tallest and seemed to have the most muscular development.

"...Actually, you are the captain, right?" Sora asked tentatively.

"Huh? Why do you think so? I'm just a swordsman!" Zoro didn't know why, and frowned.

"Because you look the most mature and reliable." Sola replied truthfully.

"Haha—the most sophisticated!" Luffy and Usopp started booing.

Then Nami punched them both: "Okay, I didn't call you here for fun!"

So everyone sat down obediently.

Sola swallowed, not to be judged by appearances, now he knows who is in charge of the real power on this ship...

His journey just started when he encountered a pirate ship...is there really no problem?
