The President's Ghost Companion

? "Can you? Boss Sha."

I clasped my hands together, carefully observed Crocodile's facial expression with low eyebrows, and asked him in a low voice. He looked at me expressionlessly and said nothing, which immediately made me uneasy.

I turned my head involuntarily and looked at Luffy, who was deep in the quicksand, I knew clearly, I clearly knew that I didn't say it out of desperation because of heartache for Luffy, I just didn't want to see Kroc with my own eyes Dahl looks like a failure.

I, who was always nagging around Crocodile that he was bound to fail, still didn't want to see him like that with my own eyes.

"Boss Sha, I..."

Before I finished speaking, Crocodile suddenly turned into sand. I was startled, and I couldn't help taking a step forward. In the windless desert, the sand gradually drifted in one direction.Crocodile turned away from me, looking where he was going.

He said: "You don't care about my business, it's up to you..."

His voice was so peaceful that I couldn't guess his mood.

I stared at the direction of Crocodile in a daze, not knowing how to react. When Crocodile was about to completely merge with the desert, I suddenly came back to my senses and yelled at him. name.

"Crocodale!!!"

There was a sudden wind in the desert, and the wind and sand were so big that I couldn't see clearly.

I put my hands around my mouth; "I will always be here waiting for you to pick me up, so you must come back! Don't want me, I have nothing but you!! Do you know!? Crocodile!"

“…”

What responded to me was the sound of sand blown up by the wind and the whistling wind. Crocodile had long since disappeared. At this time, the desert gradually returned to calm.

I rubbed my hot face fiercely, and said to myself, did you hear me?I lost my face because of you, what I said was full of love, I lost my morals, and I supported you in disguise, so don’t really want me.

"I......."

Really only you have nothing...

It's not because you are the only one in this world who can see me.

I looked up at the sky, and I knew Crocodile wasn't coming back for me, and I knew I wouldn't have to wait too long, and once it rained in Alabasta, it would all be over and I'd go find him.

Luffy, who was rescued by Robin, was taken away by a man who could turn into an eagle.

I sat where I was, and kept poking the sand with my hands to pass the time. When it was late at night, I lay down on my back, crossed my hands behind my head, looked at the stars and meditated, and waited for the night to turn white. When the time period is unclear, a drop of rain quietly dropped from the sky, one drop after another, and the wow became more and more, and the desert in the distance became blurred.

The sky darkened, the country was grey, and Alabasta, which was screaming, finally gradually fell silent in the sound of rain, and turned to crying and crying. Many people were crying, and I heard it.

"Okay, time to go."

I raised my spirits, crossed my waist, and walked step by step towards Haikou, where I will definitely find Crocodile.When I found him, he was already on the escort ship, his injuries had been properly treated, and he was changed into a prison uniform.

It looked weird.

I stepped forward and saw Crocodile leaning against the wall with his head tilted and unconscious. I subconsciously stretched out my hand to straighten his face and see how he was doing, but when my hand passed through his face , I was stunned, and stood in front of him. After a moment of silence, I slowly sat beside him, hugging my knees and patiently waiting for him to wake up.

Probably because it is a powerful person, Crocodile's prison was separated, I didn't see his men here, and I was not in the mood to pay attention to them.Holding his feet, leaning against Crocodile's arm, he closed his eyes, unable to express any feeling.

By the time Crocodile woke up leisurely, it was already late at night.

I raised my head and made eye contact with Crocodile who had just woken up. He didn't react at this time, I stretched out my hand like a child, and poked my index finger at his forehead, smiling, and said comfortingly.

"It's all right."

"..."

Crocodile didn't say anything, turned his gaze, adjusted his sitting posture, leaned his head back against the wall, and looked at the ceiling, looking tired and confused?He looks like he is thinking about something, maybe that's it, but I don't want to speak out anymore, he must be tired and needs to rest, I just need to stay quietly.

"What are you doing so close, it's cold."

He suddenly turned to me and said.

"Ah, what?" I didn't react, I looked up and found that I was indeed very close to him, a third of my body was sunk into Crocodile's body, no wonder he felt the cold, I hastily moved my butt.

"What are you moving so far for?!"

I groaned again, and hurriedly moved towards him from the corner. When I was still one meter away from Crocodile, I moved slowly, slowly, and finally stopped at a fist-sized distance from him. , lowered his head and then quietly raised his head to look at him, and seeing that he didn't reject him, he hugged his feet and put his chin between his knees, revealing half of his face.

There was a long silence between us.

"Don't you usually talk a lot? Why don't you talk today?"

Crocodile asked me aloud, I seemed to be used to it, and he said again, unable to turn his head around, he didn't show dissatisfaction as usual when he saw me in a daze, so I whispered; because I don't know what to say, and I'm afraid you'll be mad at me.

"angry?"

Crocodile snorted, and touched his chest subconsciously, probably wanting to smoke a cigar, but he didn't get what he wanted, so he put down his hand, turned his head and said to me; "I don't have that kind of spare time to be angry with you."

"Well....."

I kept the posture of hugging my feet, looked up at him with a smile and said, "That's good."

Crocodile looked down at me. When I looked up at him, his hair was hanging loosely on my cheeks. The light in the prison was weak, so I couldn’t see the outline of his face clearly. I looked down. nod.
