Crockdahl's storytelling voice suddenly paused, and then a gust of wind and sand suddenly swirled, like a strange and inexplicable whirlwind in the desert, enveloping everything in an instant. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The wind and sand came and went quickly, and disappeared into the air again in an instant, and the only proof of the existence of the wind and sand was that the last remaining lifeboat of the Golden Merry also disappeared with it.

Nami, who was still immersed in the story told by Crockdahl, was awakened by the wind and sand, and when the wind and sand cleared, there was no more Crockdahl in front of her, only reddened eye circles, and slightly messy hair indicating what had just happened.

Looking at her hands, it seemed that there was still residual warmth in her palms, and Nami was in a trance for a moment.

"Berummel...... Is it you, in heaven ......"

In the air, mixed with the sound of the wind, there seemed to be a soft sigh. The sudden increase in the sea breeze filled the sails of the Golden Merry, and the voyage, which would have taken half a day, was greatly shortened.

After a while, Nami could already faintly see the outline of the island in the distance.

"No matter what, I must save everyone and the village back!" Nami clenched her fists and said firmly to herself.

There, it's the Evil Dragon Sea.

Looking at the Golden Merry in the distance, Crockdahl standing on a lifeboat couldn't help but be a little stunned, he didn't know why he suddenly lost control of his emotions, and said many things that shouldn't be said, as if there were multiple thoughts in his head at that time affecting at the same time.

I don't know when my mind was already a little confused, and Krokdal thought back to Nami's appearance, as if he had seen the lovely girl he used to be......

"Your name is ...... What's the name? Crockdahl asked tentatively.

"Mr. Crockdahl would call me Lily! Lily is the only name that Mr. Crockdahl can call~" Lily smiled mischievously, making Crockdahl blush again.

In the days that followed, Lily would come over to visit Crockdahl every day whenever she had time. And brought a small sand crocodile over and let Crockdahl keep it, for fear that he would be bored because of his injuries.

"Hehe~ Crockdahl's nickname is 'Sand Crocodile', if you don't raise crocodiles, you won't be worthy of a name~" Lily said.

As time passed, Crockdahl's injuries healed, and he still secretly helped the army of Alabastan every day against the invading pirates. He still tries to help Lily's homeland every time and attacks the enemy army. Gradually, there was only one country left in the desert, Alabastan.

Every day, Lily would find Crockdahl and talk to him, telling him about her joys and sorrows, bit by bit, all in detail. Sunny's smile soothes Crockdahl's torn heart every day. And whenever Lily expresses her unhappiness in her heart, Crockdahl always feels sad,

Gradually, the hands of the two people unconsciously pulled together, and they often sat quietly on the sand dunes, looking at the desolate scenery of the desert. There is not much to see in the desert except desolation, but Krokdahl always finds the desert beautiful. Every time I look at it, my heart is always unusually calm.

"Na~ Crokdahl, will we be like this desert one day, desolate and lonely?" Lily asked Crockdahl with a wink.

"No, it won't." Crockdahl's words were firm, "This is my ideal home!" ”

"Really?" Lily looked at him, half-loudly, and asked, "What if...... I beg you to do something...... Forget it......"

"What's the matter? You say, I'll accept anything! I'll try to do it! Crockdahl said with a caressing heart.

"Hmm...... Can you give me a rose? I know that there are no roses in Alabastan, but ...... Even if it's fake, as long as it's a rose......"

"Okay! I'm sure I'll find a rose for you! Crockdahl's tone was firm.

"Hehe......" Lily smiled, but there was loneliness in her eyes. Looking at Crockdahl's face, he stopped talking.

Crockdahl was unaware, his heart was overflowing with sweetness, as if he felt that there was still something in the world to be trusted and cherished. The long-lasting heartbreak gradually healed.

The next day, Lily didn't come back to Crockdahl. Crockdahl didn't care, because this kind of thing was common and happened occasionally.

On the third day, Lily still didn't come. Crockdahl felt that time was passing slowly, and had been waiting since the morning, waiting for Lily to appear, and for some reason, expecting to see the throbbing blue figure.

Day 4......

Day 5......

Crockdahl finally couldn't wait any longer, and with the glass roses he had stolen from the other pirates in his arms, his thoughts seemed to consume him, and he longed to see Lily, and said to her......

Excited, Crockdahl arrives in Lily's town. It's poor, it doesn't rain much, but it has a beautiful name – Gina Lip – a place where spring reigns all year round.

Dressed in Alabastani folk attire, Crockdahl hides his identity and asks for news of Lily. What I got was the news that Albana's nobles wanted to forcibly use ** against Lily, and Lily committed suicide afterwards. That nobleman, the surname is: Nafirutali.

When he asks why the townspeople don't help Lily, their answer causes Crockdahl to crush the rose in his arms.

"That slut is so close to the pirates, who knows what kind of goods it is!"

"I tell you, don't inquire about her! She's a gang of pirates! ”

"That's a slut, I don't know how many pirates I've slept with...... Maybe, hey, hey, hey......"

"Soaking with pirates all day long, who knows how many unconscionable things I have done, and I just ...... when I die"

……

Crockdahl didn't listen to the rest of the story, stumbling out of town, running aimlessly.

That night, a strong wind and sand blew in the desert, and the wind and sand spread into a storm. Flooded the town and devoured the people who didn't have time to escape......

Since then, there has been no town in Alabastan called Gina Lip.

Walking out of the confines of the town, Crockdahl no longer had a happy expression, only gloomy, banter, anger, hatred...... And the tears have long since dried up and flowed into the bottom of my heart.

"This damn country...... This damn country...... This damn country ......"

For three days in a row, Crockdahl's mouth was filled with this sentence over and over again.

Soon after, a town called Rain Land appeared in the desert, and the rain was abundant and the seasons were like spring, attracting people from all over the world. Gradually, the town became more prosperous because of the rain, the population continued to migrate, the area continued to grow, and the town became a town, a city, and finally a more prosperous place than the national capital Albana......

Soon after, in the first half of the Great Voyage, a company called Baroque Walker was founded, codenamed "B.W." Society, in the name of mystery, began an active action in the dark.

Soon after, a vice admiral secretly approached Crockdahl and said a word......

"May I ask Mr. Crokedahl, are you interested in the seat of the Seven Martial Seas?"

************************************************************************

Using his abilities, Crockdahl propelled the lifeboat forward at a high speed on the surface. But anyone with a certain strength can sail alone on the sea, and Crockdahl is naturally no exception.

The biggest problem to face when sailing alone at sea is not the unknown creatures of the ocean, but the problem of how to find your way on the vast sea. Fortunately, it didn't take long to leave the restaurant on the sea, and it wouldn't take much time to return the same way, so naturally there would be no danger of getting lost.

Soon, the sound of artillery bombardment and the cry of battle could be heard in Krokdal's ears, and then the hull of the strange fish in the sea restaurant in the distance also jumped into view.

By this time, the ship was already on fire, and the whole ship looked so dilapidated that it looked like it was going to sink at any moment.

"Rubber, rubber—"

"Huh? What was that? ”

The timeline seemed to be set very slowly, and the surroundings seemed to be strangely quiet, but Sanji suddenly heard someone's voice. When I opened my eyes, the black projectile in front of me seemed to be a slowly crawling snail, but it didn't stop getting closer and closer. But at this moment, a figure wearing a red shoulder suddenly appeared in front of him.

I don't know if it's too fast or too slow, Sanji can't see the other person's appearance clearly, but the yellowed straw hat is deeply engraved in his mind. He wanted to scream, but found that his throat was torn and he didn't listen to him at all.

"Rubber Eraser - Balloons!"

The voice became clearer, and Sanji returned to reality from that trance, the sea breeze blowing his golden hair, and the sound of the wind reaching his ears, but not the explosion he imagined.

It turned out that just when Sanji was about to learn from the great revolutionary martyrs and sacrifice himself to block the gun's hole, Luffy suddenly appeared in the sky. Relying on his rubber man's physique, Luffy inhaled sharply, and the rubber body suddenly swelled up and turned into a huge balloon, blocking the way of the cannonball.

The cannonball hit the balloon, which was slowed down by the rubber, and then Luffy's sunken belly bulged, and the cannonballs were bounced off one after another. Some of them fell into the sea, some flew into the sky, and some even returned the same way and hit the navy ships, and the sound of explosions caused the navy to jump.

"Thank you...... Thank you......" Sanji squatted on the ground with tears in his eyes.

"Ah, be my chef! I'm going to be the man of One Piece! Luffy roared, and the momentum was amazing.

I...... I still want to dream!

Sanji raised his head, tears streaming down his face, Luffy's figure was exceptionally tall, and at the same time strengthened his heart.

"Ahh......h I'm looking for ...... Look for the blue ocean! ”

"Ah, the blue ocean...... If it's a man, go for it, the great voyage is a man's journey! Stinky boy! Zofu limped out, patted Sanji on the head, and said.

"Boss!" The cooks shouted in surprise and looked at Sanji together, "Sanji, you stinky boy!" The cooking is unpalatable, and I love to talk, and I squander the money from the restaurant! The restaurant on the sea doesn't want you anymore! Get out of here, you stinky pirate! Don't give us any more trouble, we want to live a few more years! ”

"Hey! How do you talk, Sanji is all for you! Luffy got angry on the side.

"Luffy......" Usopp hurriedly came over and pulled Luffy.

"Old man! Everyone! I ......" Sanji choked up, and then yelled, "I'm a pirate!" I fought the navy! I held this ship hostage! After shout......ing, Sanji couldn't control it anymore, and he fell to the ground and cried bitterly, and swore in his heart that this was the last time, the last time he cried......

"Hmm...... I just rushed back and saw such a scene of affection, it really deserves to be a bloody world, tsk ...... "I don't know when I came to the top of the cabin of the sea restaurant, and I took a good look at the "man's play" Crockdahl, rubbing his chin and smacking his mouth, laughing.
