Arka remembers the first time he met Shanks, when he was a little imp, a little imp with a relatively ordinary personality.

Curious, aggressive, and prone to trouble.

Arka unceremoniously instructed the man on the boat to bring her a chaise longue, and then lay down, closing his eyes and enjoying the early morning sun, too lazy to pay attention to it, and he didn't have the energy to pay attention to those erratic eyes.

The warm sun made her drowsy, and suddenly, she seemed to go back in time, farther than five years......

There are countless islands in the West Sea, and one of them is an island that is rich in wine, whether it is pirates or the navy, they will come to buy it, and the name of this island is - Winepot Island, because there is a huge rock in the middle of the island that looks like a winepot, and it is the only place on this island where fresh water comes out.

Walking into the island of wine pots, you can smell the fragrance of wine, and if you have a smart nose, you may be able to smell different wines.

Children play in the streets, men sweat and make wine, and women walk by with flasks on their heads, laughing and leaving behind the smell of wine.

The island is peaceful and tranquil.

But it is this peace and tranquility that makes some restless and adventurous imps itchy to the bones, and they can't be separated.

Alka, who had been here for a while, was even more uncomfortable and wanted to take the island, although she didn't have the ability to do so now.

She sat cross-legged on the island's most dangerous reef, listening to the crashing of the waves, not knowing what to think, while her knife was held in her arms.

That's when a historic encounter arose.

Years later, Shanks laughed whenever he thought about it, while Arka gritted his teeth and scolded himself for being too handy.

"Shanks! You bastard! I actually provoked the offshore kingfish!! Not far away, there were two figures on the sea, swimming towards the shore at great speed, and they could vaguely see a blue and a red suddenly appearing on the water.

"Shout with strength! Why don't you hurry up and swim Bucky! ”

"Don't you shout too?! And shouted louder than me! ”

Arka sitting on the reef twitched his eyebrows, silently watching the chasing enemy behind him, but he didn't remember the two guys who were louder than whom, saying... It looks like the redhead's voice is loud... Wrong! Is it okay to get the point reversed?!!

Shouldn't you swim faster? The fish is about to catch up~

Arkah raised his head, looked at the bright weather, and suddenly wanted to fish and eat fish.

A black shadow jumped out on the surface of the water, and the splash of water shimmered in the sun, but unfortunately no one could appreciate it.

"Wow wow! Catch up, hey Shanks!! Bucky, who broke his throat and screamed, grabbed Shanks's wet collar and shook it missionarily, "See no, see no!" So big! We can't even stuff it between our teeth, bastard!! ”

Shanks, who looked at the huge, bloody and vicious bream in front of him, pursed his mouth and reached out to his waist, where he put a short blade and resolutely pulled it out, facing the offshore kingfish.

Just as Bucky was crying, tears and snot flying all over his face, and Shanks was about to attack head-on, Arka fell from the sky......

stepped on the head of the offshore kingfish, held a knife in one hand, and shook it with the other, which was regarded as a greeting, and said, "Yo, do you want to eat fish?" ”

"Huh? God help, ahhhh Ah no, it's the calf.

Shanks frowned, looked at the girl who seemed to be the same age as him when he stepped on the head of the fish, and said solemnly: "We don't have any money." ”

"Poof, what the hell! You idiot! The main thing for us now is to get out of the fish! And not a question of having money or not! Bucky slapped Shanks' head into the water, and the shark's mouth roared!

And Arka watched the interaction between the two of them with interest, and finally said, "Don't ask for money, I'll please." ”

"Huh? Really? Thank you so much! Shanks looked up from the water, and the water dropped, and the wolf bèi showed a hint of stupidity, and his eyes bloomed with surprise, and then the corners of his mouth cracked, revealing a very bright smile.

"My name is Shanks, his name is Bucky, what about you?"

"Wait, now isn't the time to introduce yourself, hey!"

"Arka, my name."

A little ghost stood on the head of the fish, tilting his head slightly, his gray-blue eyes showed a hint of brilliance, while the blue-haired imp on the sea shook violently with a fierce smile on his red hair.

Well, it's a good picture.

Alka, who had already fallen asleep, gently hooked the corners of her mouth, and without her knowing, Shanks, who should have been soaked in the water, climbed up, fell to the ground quietly, and after seeing her asleep, she sneaked into the room, changed her wet clothes by the way, and walked out with a clean sheet, carefully and gently covering her body.

When he was covered, he didn't forget to whisper: "It's really sleeping outside, what if I catch a cold?" ”

And I slept so sweetly......

Shanks maintained a bent posture and covered the quilt, staring at the smiling face, and finally looked away with difficulty, muttering, "Really, it's too bad to see what you can't eat......"

It's just that this small movement still woke up Arka, and she opened her eyes slightly in dissatisfaction and confusion, and saw Shanks's face, and whispered, "Shanks......?" ”

"Well, what did you dream about?" After Shanks covered the quilt, he squatted directly beside her and asked in a soft voice.

"Alka, my name ......" Alka didn't say anything about the dream, but just repeated what she said in the dream, that is, what she said back then, and it seemed that she hadn't woken up yet, subconsciously overlapping that dream with reality.

Shanks was stunned for a moment, then chuckled, as if thinking of a point, the black eyes flashed with nostalgia, looking at the gray-blue eyes, he said, "My name is Shanks." ”

Eventually, Shanks lulled her to sleep again. When she had gone to sleep, he leaned down and kissed her on the forehead, without a hint of lust, and said, "Good dreams." ”

When Beckman and the cadres heard the familiar name, they all came to their senses.

It turned out that she was Arka.

And the picture of Shanks and Arcana's thick pink sweet bubbles made the men on the ship bite the handkerchiefs, all kinds of relief, and all kinds of bitterness.

Then a thought flashed through my mind, that is, it turned out that for so many years, the captain has been guarding the captain's wife like a jade! What a good husband! It's so touching T^T, the innocent tears of the single dog uncles are about to fall out of a ghost! Show affection and love quickly, bastard (╯"□′)╯(┻━┻.

Wait a minute! How do you feel a little strange! Originally... Is the captain already married?! Σ(っ°Д°; )っ

The interrupted dream was connected to the groggy brain again, but the scene changed.

The imps turned into lads, including Alka.

The human-like way of growing up and eating habits almost made Arka mistakenly think that she was really a human, but in fact, as long as the long knife she carried, the mark of the Void Night Palace, and the void hole in her waist and abdomen did not disappear, then she was always a void who did not understand human feelings.

In her eyes, it seems that the two years that can become friends or even close friends are only two days, not to mention friends and best friends......

If you insist on giving a thought at the beginning, she helped out, and now she has a position for the two people who have a sense of zài in front of her from time to time, then it is ...... Hmm, more interesting humans.

This kind of coldness, and if you think you are normal, you can say these things falsely, but Alka is in the void, which is also a rare kind of gentleness, as long as the other party is not greedy, then she chooses to turn a blind eye.

That's right, greed, the greed of the imaginary circle is just one kind - you eat me, I eat you, this cruel, bloody, straightforward greed.

15-year-old Shanks and Bucky don't know when they have a whole island that makes it a bizarre dream to become a pirate.

It just so happened that there was no shortage of pirates coming and going on the island, but they were like picking persimmons, greens, and radishes, picking in the east and picking in the west, but they didn't see them on a pirate ship, which made the people on the island sigh again, and when they asked why they were so picky, the two gave different answers.

'You see, they have to bargain with us for wine, and there must be no money on the ship!' 'It's like Bucky on the coin jingle.

'Well, I don't think they're brave enough to be ...... big', Shanks' answer was normal... Some ghosts, because they asked their uncle slapped down.

Say right away, "Bastard boy!" The pirate profession is very dangerous! If you are not careful, you will either die at the hands of the enemy or at the hands of natural disasters, you kid is not brave enough, you are really bold! ”

"It's just not brave enough! If he is really brave, then he must have a very terrible dream, for this dream to rush forward, not afraid of the enemy, not afraid of natural disasters, not afraid of the navy, not afraid of death......" Shanks said, his eyes couldn't help but shine, as if he had found a good direction, just waiting......

He said, "This is my captain!" ”

But Arka was on the side, looking at Shanks' expression, listening to his incomparably stern and yearning tone, and couldn't help but tremble.

Void is a solitary animal, but if she really needs a ruler, a king who makes her willing, not reluctant to kneel, why not, and what Shanks said made Arka's eyes light up.

If you want to find a captain, this is indeed a good choice, but is the captain who is not afraid of anything really save zài?

But soon, such captains appeared, and just a month after Shanks, Bucky turned 15, stopped in the harbor with this huge, bright red ship.

A group of people walked down the boat, and in the middle, a man with a black wavy beard in a red cloak stepped on the island, and laughed: "What a peaceful island—all wine!" Little ones, let's drink—"

"That's the point, right? Captain, hahaha. ”

In the midst of the noise, the group stepped into the island.
