18. Chapter XVIII

The weather was wonderful, and the huge ships sailing on the sea were also coated with a film called light in the sun.

"Hahaha Shanks, are you holding Alka in the sun again?"

On the empty deck were a few seniors, and they saw the red-haired boy who had come on board a year ago come out of the cabin holding an egg that was waist-wide to man.

Everyone is used to it.

They all joked about the boy holding the egg, ah, no, the boy holding the Arka who turned into an egg.

Yes, the Arka turned into an egg.

She eventually succeeded in devouring the Gorilla Overlord, and then turned into an egg, but unfortunately they were protected by their eyes and did not see the battle outside, but this was a minor problem for those who met with the domineering people, and when the eyes dissipated, what entered their eyes was an egg standing alone in a pool of blood......

Under the moonlight, this egg looks very ...... Those who had an appetite, and anyone who had thoughts, were punched hard by Deputy Captain Reilly.

In the end, after they walked out of the island, Whitebeard also specially fought with them, for the sake of Arka, who had turned into an egg, to put it bluntly, to rob people.

It's a pity that Shanks and Bucky killed Arka Protector, and they were killed by their seniors, and in the end, Whitebeard had to leave disappointed.

But for the adventurous pirates, there is a lot to gain.

In a year's time, Shanks has become taller again, and now he is still a few centimeters away, 1.8 meters.

The skin has turned a very attractive wheat color, and at a glance, you can see that there is no excess fat, and it is clear that you have a good workout.

He was naked, his shirt was tied around his waist, seven-quarter-long wide trousers, a pair of sandals, and if it weren't for the egg in his arms, his eight-pack abs would have been able to bask in the sun.

"Ahh Shanks smiled and nodded, he hugged Alka, then stopped and sat on the floor, he was not afraid of the hot sun.

Pirates, how can they be afraid of the sun?

The eggshell was cool against Shanks's chest, and Shanks held the egg, his chin resting on the pointed dome.

The senior saw it, touched his chin and said, "Boy, when did that girl in Arka break her egg?" ”

Since Arka turned into an egg, there will always be people who ask Arka what broken eggs every now and then, and Shanks, who is used to it, held his head high, because of the sun, those clear eyes squinted, he looked at his seniors, rubbed his fingers against the smooth eggshell, and said, "The captain said that it was probably the last time." ”

"Captain? When did he become a broken egg brick? The senior asked distrustfully, and then after asking, he cautiously glanced around, and after making sure that there was no one, he approached and said, "You be careful, not long ago, I heard from the kitchen that the captain wanted to eat baked eggs...... You're going to have to watch. ”

The senior pointed to the egg in Shanks' arms inscrutablely.

Of course, he didn't mean that the captain would eat Arka or anything, but that he was worried that the captain would suddenly smoke, snatch the eggs, and exchange eggs with other birds, which was definitely done by the captain's idiot.

"Okay, I got it." Shanks listened, frowning for a moment, then letting go and nodding.

Anyway, this year, his domineering has achieved a little, probably, he should be able to guard against the captain, right?

What's more, the egg is still on the bed in his room......

Why don't you hold it 24 hours a day?

Shanks thought about it, and finally felt that it was very reliable, so he decided so happily.

Then people are not as good as heaven.

When the enemy attacked, Shanks, who was holding an egg in one hand and a knife in the other, frowned and blocked the enemy's weapon, then raised his foot and kicked it over.

Tsk, it's a bit of a hassle.

He immediately took the egg as a ball and shouted at Bucky, who was not very crowded, "Bucky, catch!" ”

Not long ago, Bucky, who was so frightened by Shanks that he swallowed a Devil Fruit, was now having a tantrum with Shanks, but when he saw the eggs thrown over, especially the eggs that Arka had become, his eyes were dragging at the moment: "Shanks! You idiot! Don't throw Alka overβ€”"

He slammed his hands, broke away from his body very unscientifically, flew up, and flew into the air, catching the thrown egg, and Bucky, who caught it, turned his head viciously and glared at Shanks who slashed down the enemy with a knife, and the shark's mouth roared: "What if I don't catch it?!! ”

"Didn't you catch it?"

Shanks replied with a sideways head as he tackled the enemy who pounced on him.

"Then there are times when you make mistakes, okay?!"

After Bucky caught it, he immediately took a step back to avoid the knife that came at him, although he would be fine if he was slashed by the knife, but the person was turned in half, and he felt terrified.

He threw the egg back, and with a slug of his free hands, he took out several knives, and when he threw them, he stabbed everyone with a stick.

On the other end, Shanks saw the egg that was thrown, and hurriedly put down the enemy on his side, stretched out his hand, and with a horn, he caught it.

Catch, turn around, and kick the enemy in close proximity.

"Hey Bucky, you hug Arka ...... first"

"Hold a ghost! Labor refuses... I rub, don't you understand human words?!! ”

So there was a beautiful scenery on the deck... Hell!

Bucky and Shanks were tossing eggs at each other, and it looked like they were joking, but they weren't!

Thinking about Arka in this egg, Bucky's whole person is not good, if they are not careful......

Bucky, who just thought so, accidentally deflected, just because the enemy hit a cannonball and hit the hull, and the guide Bucky did not stand firm, and his hand was so deflected.

The egg just broke away under the gaze of the two of them, smashed into the head of an enemy, and then bounced again, plopped up, and fell into the water.

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Shanks and Bucky immediately fell into an eerie silence, rows of cold sweat broke out on the back of their heads, and they looked at each other, without saying a word, kicked away the enemy next to them, and jumped.

However, Bucky was intercepted by his seniors halfway.

"Hey, boy, a landlubber, what are you dancing?"

Yes, Bucky, who has always been a good swimmer, is now a landlubber who is disliked by the sea and has become an out-and-out landlubber.

However, Bucky struggled with tears in his eyes: "Let go of me, let me jump, if Arka knew that we passed her as a ball, and passed it off, and threw it into the sea, it would definitely hang us up!" ”

"That stinky girl is an egg now, what do you know?!"

The senior slapped Bucky on the back of the head, a little hated that iron could not be made of steel.

It turns out that Bucky's purpose is not to catch eggs, but to kill himself.

Anyway, is that girl so afraid?

The senior, who had never seen the girl's methods, touched his chin and thought very puzzled.

Not to mention fear, it's simply ferocious, in a sense.

On the other end, Shanks, who jumped into the water, held his breath, he had been a good swimmer since he was a child, and he held his breath in the water as well.

The sea was blue and transparent, and Shanks, who was immersed in the sea, looked around, his brows tightened, and finally the moment he went downstream, he saw the egg he was looking for... No, it's human.

Arka is broken.

…… is obviously such a serious sentence, why does it feel like you want to laugh.

When Shanks saw it, his face turned red suddenly, just because ......

Arka floating in the water was naked/naked, her eyes closed and her chest ......

Shanks' pupils shrank sharply, and he hurriedly swam over, his hand outstretched, and scooped Alka into his arms, each other's chests pressed together, hot and cold.

He had just rushed upstream with the newly broken Alka, whose chest did not rise and fall, but the journey was not short.

Shanks sighed in his heart, he looked at Arka with his eyes closed, and finally gritted his teeth and prayed secretly, may Arka wake up and not beat, although he didn't care about the pain on the **, but ......

Alka, don't be okay...

Shanks held out his other hand and cupped the back of Alka's head, and he bent his head, his lips touching Alka's cold lips.

This temperature frightened him.

He stuck out his tongue and pried Arka's mouth open, which was not difficult, and then crossed the breath from his mouth to her.

Shanks hadn't noticed anything else, like his hand around someone's waist, or their chest clinging to each other.

Cough......

Anyway, the night was enough for him to slowly reminisce [nosebleed]

However, the heavens seemed to be playing a joke on him, no, it was playing with him.

Alka, who had closed his eyes, suddenly opened his eyes, and his gray-blue eyes slammed into Shanks' black pupils, and the two pairs of eyes collided together.

'I ......'

After hesitating for a few seconds, Shanks exploded, like an electric shock, let go of his hand, stepped back, and when he opened his mouth to explain, he suddenly remembered that he no longer seemed to be on land now, so ......

Shanks snorted at the salty seawater.

He choked on tears.

It's like he stole his mother's dried chili peppers when he was a child......

Shanks, who was off topic, covered his mouth and nose and tried to speed up his hand and let Arka swim with him to the surface, but he found that Arka was swimming towards him.

'Arka ......? ’

Shanks didn't dare to look below Alka's neck, he looked at Alka as he approached, and only felt that the heat in his lungs seemed to fade a little.

Arka reached out and took the hand that was covering Shanks' mouth and nose, and under his constricted pupils, he learned from him, pried his mouth open, and passed the oxygen through, so he said......

Alka didn't pass out just now?!

Shanks, who wanted to deviate again, exploded in his brain.

Despite this, his body honestly obeyed his instincts and accepted the oxygen from the opposite mouthful, while his hand once again rested dishonestly on Alka's waist and pressed against Alka's head.

…… Shanks, do you believe that as soon as Arka came ashore, he hung you on the southeast branch?

By the time the two of them climbed aboard the boat, the battle was over, and Arka was wearing the cloak that Rayleigh had thrown into the water, and his hair was wet on his face, slipping and dripping onto Rayleigh's trench coat.

Shanks, who was standing on the side, didn't dare to look at Alka's side.

It's impossible for the cunning Reilly not to see anything, such as an overly red mouth or something.

"Ahem, Arka, you go change your clothes first."

"Yes." Alkamai started and walked towards her quarters, but halfway through, she suddenly held on, looking sideways at Shanks and Bucky.

The two people who were watched had all kinds of hearts.

"Huh."

Arka left two unfathomable words and rolled up Reilly's trench coat and went back to his room.

Compared to Bucky, Shanks is so weak that he is willing to hang on to the southeast branch!

"Boy, did you fight the fish in the water? Why is the mouth red. Roger stepped forward and startled Shanks as he wandered into space.

He stretched out his hand to cover his red mouth, his eyes slanted, he immediately turned his head, and dropped a sentence: "I'll go back to my room to change clothes......

"Huh? Stinky boy, you haven't answered my words yet, what are you running......"

Shanks heard the captain's muttering, and haha's laughter.

The captain, he thought, had probably been laughed at.

A red-faced Shanks burrowed into the room, his tongue still a little unstraight.

Shanks covered his face and thought: Oops, will Arka hate herself......

But the touch on his tongue that had not yet dissipated made him red-faced and red for a long, long time.
