——opED16 "Dearfriend"

The banquet lasted for three days and three nights, and the whole island seemed to be immersed in joy.

During this period, Sora was asked where he had been before, and he answered honestly.

"Oh, sure enough... It seems that our speculation is correct!" Nami said.

"...Well, I'm really sorry for not coming back in time." Sora bowed his head.

"There's nothing to apologize for, it's not your fault! Whoever arrives at that sea temple will be fascinated..." Usopp hooked Sora's neck, "Hey, what did you find? Like treasure or something..."

"It is true that there are very precious treasures." Sola was a little dumbfounded, "But it is not the kind of valuable treasures you mentioned. I think most people would not want that kind of thing, besides, it is impossible to bring them out."

"Sola Sola, what kind of place is there?" The curious baby Chopper asked.

"Hmm... It's different from what I imagined, but it's not too unexpected... In short, it's a castle." Sola frowned and hesitated for a long time to describe it like this, "It's very...infringement of places is not allowed. "

"Feel like old Arpayard?" Robin asked.

"Well...but let's be more solemn." Sora nodded.

"But that place...it seems that not everyone can go in? Is it because Sora can go in because he has the blood of fish?" Sanji suddenly said at this time.

"Eh?" Sora was taken aback for a moment.

"That's right, because Sola's mother is a murloc." Zoro suddenly realized.

"Wait a minute!" Sora said, "Well, my mother's being a murloc is just my guess, and I just learned from my father that I'm actually not... Even murlocs and mermaids can't enter that place! "

"Huh? Then why can you go in?" Luffy questioned.

"Because..." Sora looked at the sky and said after a long time, "Because I am a child of the sea."

"what?"

"Because I was born in the sea, a child of the sea...that's what Daddy said."

No one spoke, it seemed that they were stunned, or couldn't accept this fact for a while.

"Just now, you said your father." Christo, who had been silent at this moment, spoke.

Still no one spoke, Sanji lit a cigarette, took a puff, and exhaled the smoke ring.

"Sora, you seem to have told me that your father passed away a long time ago?"

"Ah, that's right." Sora replied in the affirmative.

"Then... what is the father you saw before?" Usopp's voice was stiff.

"Daddy is nothing!" Sora was very dissatisfied with Usopp's wording, "Daddy is just daddy!"

"But I'll never see you again." Sora lowered his head and stopped talking.

"So...that's really—" Qiaoba blushed.

"Ghost!" Several people shouted at the same time.

Sora stared at the man in front of him.

"Oh, why are you here again? Come, eat!" Usopp enthusiastically stuffed the chicken leg into the opponent's hand.

"Oh, thanks." The man replied, and he glanced at Sola again.

"Sam..." Sora silently read the other party's name.

"Ah, I'm Sam...Wait, why do you know my name! I was planning to introduce myself!" Sam jumped up.

"Uh... I heard what Usopp said, right, Usopp?" Sora looked at Usopp awkwardly, hoping that he would help him out.

Usopp didn't stay, and naturally understood what Sora meant, so he nodded.

"Ah, that's it." Sam felt that he was overreacting, he sat down again, and said to Sola, "Well, you rushed up to save me earlier, thank you."

"Ah, no thanks."

"Do you... know what happened after that?" Sam looked at Sora, "I always feel like I forgot something, it's weird."

"Uh, it's nothing special, right? Actually, I don't remember it either. When I woke up, I was on the surface of the sea, and then I drifted here with the current." Sora looked away and began to lie.

"Really, are you too?" Then Sam stopped talking to Sora, but started talking with Usopp.

Sola got up and walked to another place, he always felt a little inexplicably guilty.After all, it was self-inflicted that Sam became like this, right?

"It's really lying and not drafting." At this time, there was a sneer from the side, and Sora turned his head to see that it was Christo.

Krystal sat there quietly, and Sola sat down beside her, muttering, "There's nothing wrong with that."

"I didn't say it's bad." Christo shrugged, "But... You should have something important that you haven't told everyone? Although they don't ask, they still care about it, of course not. Exclude certain nerds."

Being seen through... Sora was a little discouraged, he lowered his head, indeed it was not an option to keep running away like this.

"Then, let me ask. What are you going to do next? The purpose of going to sea has been achieved. Finding the Sea Temple... But it should not be as simple as finding that place, right? According to the degree of mystery of that place, those who can enter the temple Shouldn't you just be invited to go sightseeing?" Christo hit the core of the question at once, "Will you...will you go to sea with them next?"

Sora was silent, then shook his head.

"Is that so?" Krystal shook her legs, seemingly not surprised by Sola's reply, "Then I'm going to propose to quit the group, this experience has taught me how strong a mental quality it takes to follow them And the ability to face danger... I am indeed a moderate, and I cannot accept such an overly exciting adventure!"

Sora glanced at her, then continued to bow his head without speaking.

"Then I'm going to apply for resignation from the group. How about it? Would you like me to help you?" Chris stood up, and she bent down to look at Sora with a smile that was not a smile.

Sora didn't speak, and lowered his head even lower.

"Then I'll take it as your acquiescence." Christo patted Sola's head, turned and left quickly.

Sora almost curled up into a ball, he was really... so useless!

It was early morning the next day when Luffy and the others found Sora.Sora sensed that someone was approaching in a haze... When he opened his eyes, he saw Luffy's magnified face.

Sola sat up all of a sudden, saying that he was not scared must be lying.

"Sora! Are you really leaving?" Luffy asked.

Sora nodded timidly.

"Why!" Luffy yelled again.

"I... because I have something I must leave to do..."

"What's going on, you one by one!" Lu Fei pouted dissatisfiedly.

Sora really wanted to know what Crystal said, and she looked at Robin at the side.

"Krystal said she likes Sky Island, so she wants to stay." Robin smiled and answered Sola's question, "Then she said that Sola would also quit, so our captain hurried over gone."

It’s different from what she’s heard... Sora glanced at Luffy with a gloomy face, and sighed: "Luffy, I’m really sorry, I really want to take risks with you, but I still can’t leave My own responsibility, so... I must leave."

"Hmph!" Lu Fei didn't want to pay attention to his expression.

Robin smiled: "Oh, I have no objection, since you think there are more important things, there is no way to leave."

Finally, Sola heaved a sigh of relief, and asked again: "Where are the others?"

"Just now the captain said that there is a pile of gold in the python's stomach, so Miss Navigator gathered everyone together to make a plan." Robin kindly explained to Sola, "Who knew that at that time Crystal told her And the matter of you leaving... so the captain came to you directly, and the others should still be where they were."

Sola nodded, he thought it was better to talk to everyone in person.

But when he actually saw everyone, Sora was at a loss for words again, because Luffy kept angrily saying that he would go to the Sea Temple to see what happened.

"But...if you really go, you will become the same as Sam." Sora explained in a low voice.

"Amnesia? Ah, sure enough, forget about Luffy! It's too dangerous!" Usopp first rejected Luffy's idea.

"That's right, Luffy. Don't lose your temper. There are reasons for people to leave. Even if you are the captain, there is no reason to force people to stay!" Nami said.

"Sola, do you really want to go?" Chopper raised his head and asked Sola.

"Um... sorry." Sora said apologetically.

"There's nothing to apologize for. It's a matter of personal preference." Zoro, who didn't talk much, said, "Think about being like Bibi in Alabasta, why not at all?"

"To be honest, if I find ALLBLUE, maybe I will consider staying there." Sanji took a breath, "But once you leave... Really, I always feel that my workload will increase."

"Hehe." Sora was amused, "Sanji-san can keep other people busy, they are busy sometimes."

"That's right." Sanji breathed out a puff of smoke, "But we decided to steal the gold and escape tomorrow...Krystal-chan decided to stay here, and it is very likely that we will be implicated...Hey, Sora, take care of me Let her go?"

"That's right, you haven't left here right away, have you?"

Of course it is possible to take care of her... Although Sora didn't think that Christo needed his own care, he still agreed.

The next day, Sora followed in search of gold in the python's belly.He cherishes the opportunity to get along with his companions very much, because it will be difficult to see them later... There are a lot of gold to collect.Everyone was very happy, and Luffy didn't make any fuss anymore. He patted Sora on the shoulder: "As long as you want, you can take risks with us again anytime, because we are partners, ahaha——"

Hearing Luffy's laughter, Sora became more cheerful, and he nodded in agreement.

Later, due to a misunderstanding, the Straw Hat Pirates and the rest of the group went crazy. Really, Robin knew that the thing was not a weapon but gold, so why didn't he tell them?Sora hid in the tree, seeing this scene made him dumbfounded.However, even if Luffy and the others accept the golden pillar, the Merry will not be able to hold it!

"Ah - why did they leave! I still want to follow them to Qinghai!"

On the way, Sora heard Sam's screams, he shrugged and continued on.He is now going to Christo, and he still has one thing to do.

Christo was sitting on the shore, watching the Melly receding away.When she heard the movement, she looked back, saw that it was Sola, and said, "Ah, so you haven't left yet."

Sola looked at the gradually shrinking Meli and said, "They get rid of me and take care of you, they are afraid that they will hurt you by stealing the gold."

Christo froze for a moment, then smiled and said, "What a bunch of idiots."

She got up and patted the dirt on her body: "Okay, the residents of the sky will not have any ill will towards me. Now you can leave in peace. I don't need your help anywhere."

"Really?" Sora was a little surprised, "Hey, wait a minute... I have something for you."

Sola handed the dagger with engraved patterns to Christo: "Here, you have always wanted this, my uncle's dagger."

"...Aren't you unwilling to give it to me?" Christo held the dagger in her hand, looking at Sora with unreal eyes.

"But you've always wanted it, you even went on a dangerous ship for it." Sola smiled, "I've thought about it, it's better to keep this with you. And I've held it for a long time, now I'll take care of it for you."

Christo caressed the dagger, and slowly said: "...I have already given up. The feeling of regaining it...is really good, I understand now."

"Is it okay to just stay on the sky island like this? Maybe there will be no chance to return to the ground again..." Sola looked at her a little worriedly, "If it's just for leaving the group, I can send you down... "

Christo shook her head: "No, I really like this place. The incredible clouds...it's heaven, isn't it?"

Sora was moved, it didn't look like Krystal was trying to be brave, this was her sincere words.

"I'm not a pirate...I've thought about my future life carefully. I've wandered enough and want to settle down in one place." Christo said, "I'll live well here, so You don't need to go back to land...if you have the leisure, you might as well help that poor Sam."

"Hehe, that's right." Sora chuckled lightly.

"Then, I'll go first." Christo stood up and walked a few steps into the forest, "Then, goodbye, Sola. You are a gentle person, thank you."

Then Krystal bowed 45 degrees to Sora, but Sora didn't react for a while.

"Am I... gentle?" Sora felt very embarrassed as he touched his face.

Sora later returned to the deserted palace.

It was already late at night, Sora looked up at the sky, the night sky was full of stars, and the huge moon was hanging above.

Squinting his eyes, Sora took a deep breath, and he should set off too.

Entering the empty lobby, Sola walked step by step towards the unpretentious stone door in the lobby.

Walking in front of the stone gate, Sora turned his head and looked to the other side of the sea of ​​clouds.

"Goodbye," he said softly.

Then Sora entered behind the stone gate, a world that no one knew.

The independent palace on the sea became empty again, without a single person.

The gate slowly closed, and the temple floating on the sea of ​​clouds was covered by thick fog, and there was no longer any figure to be seen.
