It was late at night, and the red boat was adrift on the sea.

In addition to the sound of the waves, it is the sound of playful shouts.

This time Shanks accidentally drank too much and fell drunk on the deck.

The sound of frolic in his ears was blurred in Shanks's ears, as was the view with his eyes, and he turned his head sideways, his black eyes covered with a mist and indistinct.

He saw gray-blue in a trance.

"Haha, the captain is drunk!!" Rakhi's voice was in his ears, but it couldn't dispel Shanks's trance.

"Why are you drunk, Shanks?"

He really saw the gray-blue eyed girl standing in front of him, her brow furrowed, and her face was slightly displeased, and she stretched out her hand to him.

"Hurry up, it's cold on deck."

"Good ......"

Shanks reached out and reached out to the girl's hand.

Holding, however, nothing, all he grasps is nothingness.

At this moment, Shanks woke up, he blinked, what gray-blue-eyed girl, there was not even a shadow at all.

"Captain, what's wrong?"

It was his deputy head Beckman.

That look of loss is not common.

"Hee-hee, I had a good dream."

Shanks rolled over and sat up, but his body was a little shaky, but fortunately he steadied and did not fall down again.

"Good dreams?" Beckman took a drag on his cigarette and looked at him with a hint of inquiry.

"Hmm... Likes and hates doping. ”

Shanks hung his head, his red hair covering his eyes, and the depressed aura disappeared for only a brief moment.

He smiled and raised the wine glass in his hand and shouted, "Little ones, let's continue to drink hahaha!! ”

The more Shanks drank, the more he heard someone speak in his ear.

Who?

Alcohol paralyzed his brain.

"Shanks!!"

A low cry of rage.

Shanks raised his head in response, and the girl stood in front of him again, with a rare warm anger in her cold eyes in her memory, pointing at his nose and saying, "Didn't I sue you for not drinking like this?!" What's in your head? Do you want to be beaten by me? ”

Such a vibrant sound.

It's real this time, right?

Shanks stretched out his hand, his fiery hair became more vivid under the light of the fire, his eyes followed the girl's figure closely, and he shouted vaguely: "Arka ......"

Eventually, he fell on the deck again, facing the ground, still whispering, "Arka, I, I......"

In the end, the people who settled him down were his cadres, and no one expected that Shanks, who had not been drunk and crazy in the past, would send it this time.

He tugged at a man's clothes and wouldn't let go, shouting the name of a man they hadn't heard before.

Alka.

Luckily, he was just tugging at people's clothes, not anything else.

Rakki and Beckman made some effort to get Shanks back to their bed.

Several people gasped and wiped their sweat.

"Hey, who's Arka for?" Rakki bumped into the first person to get on the boat.

However, the other party shrugged his shoulders without knowing it, gave him an ignorant look, and said, "I've never heard the captain say this name." ”

"It can't be lovers, right?" Barcelona, who has a smart monkey, said: "After all, we don't know much about the captain's previous affairs, whether it is a companion or a lover......

"It's also possible to say that, at this time, the name that can come out of the captain's mouth is estimated to be of great weight in his heart."

The cadres guessed the identity of 'Arka', and at the same time, Shanks was still saying something in detail, but it was too vague for anyone to understand, but at this moment, Shanks suddenly shouted, which frightened several people present whose hairs stood up.

"Alka! Stop, don't, don't ......"

I thought I was caught, but I didn't expect it to be a dream, but this dream seems to confirm something.

Several cadres exchanged glances, and then quietly exited the room.

Beckman took a puff of his cigarette, and the mist that came out of his mouth blurred his eyes, and he said, "It's a very important person......

"But the captain didn't leave anyone behind." Rakki added a knife, but luckily Shanks was asleep now, otherwise he would have waited to hang it to dry.

"It's okay, it's okay, let's disperse, what to do, just go and do it."

Beckman drove them away.

But he was still at the door of Shanks, and there was this small and fragmented voice inside, which was roughly the three words 'Alka'.

It's rare to see such a captain.

Beckman took the cigarette stick, knocked, and the gray slag fell on the deck, he looked at the sky, took a step, and then spat out the cigarette, and the moon blurred.

The moon is really round, tomorrow will be a good day, right?

Beckman, who wasn't a navigator, guessed.

The next day, Shanks, who woke up drunk, had a headache to death, and as soon as he went out, the eyes of several people in Rakki turned around, and everyone had a look of ridicule in their eyes.

"What's wrong with you?" Shanks, who still had a headache, asked.

"Captain doesn't remember last night?" Jesus asked cautiously.

"Last night? It's not a banquet to drink, and then ......" Shanks rubbed his temples and said, suddenly stopping.

Jesus' eyes lit up.

Several cadres rubbed their hands and looked at Shanks with a smile, waiting for his answer.

Outcome......

As a few crew members passed by, they saw several cadres standing on the deck with buckets.

"Vice-captain, what are they?" Someone asked curiously.

"Oh, they're cheap, they're being punished by the captain." Beckman said calmly.

"Tsk, I didn't expect the captain to be very strict this time." didn't ask anything, but the punished Rakki carried two buckets in one hand, and the free hand was holding the meat, eating, and said vaguely: "Super interested~"

"Let's end this matter, it's rare for the captain to be so strict, and if we ask again, we'll be too much." The Barça monkey crept up on him, crouched on his shoulder, pulled his hair, and squeaked.

"I thought so too." Jesus Bu agreed.

"Ahhh~ I'll just say that, if 'Arka' really has something to do with the captain, or that kind of relationship, hehe, I think the captain will also have a time when he can't sit still, and then the truth will be revealed." Rakki grinned and said that his mouth was covered with grease because of eating meat.

"Hehe, we are pirates, ordinary people's methods can't work, then plunder, as long as the captain doesn't get into a dead end."

The three of them stood on the deck, basking in the sun, laughing, and it seemed that they didn't understand the meaning of the penalty station at all.

Soon, they arrived on a bustling island, where some went to buy necessities, while others quickly found a tavern and were ready to have a drink.

Shanks, who had planned to enter, suddenly stopped, blocked the doorway, turned his head, and looked into the distance.

A flash of millet color.

His eyes caught it, and his pupils shrank suddenly.

Among the partners who were blocked at the door, a few urged Shanks to hurry in, but this could no longer reach Shanks's ears.

"You can't go wrong ......"

Shanks muttered to himself, and with a sudden, he disappeared in the doorway, his gray trench coat churning and finally disappearing from everyone's eyes.

"Yay? Captain—"

By the time they shouted, Shanks was gone.

Those who remain are confused.

But few people are worried, after all, Shanks, their captain is very strong.

Shanks, chasing the flashes of hair color he had seen earlier, finally saw it around the corner.

The woman with short millet hair turned her back to him, pointing to a few things on the pavement, and asked to be packed.

Perhaps sensing the sight, the woman turned sideways and looked at it, exactly the same as the eyes she saw when she was drunk, gray-blue, with coldness and displeasure in them, but when she saw him, the coldness and displeasure disappeared, and what appeared was astonishment and panic.

She threw down what she had bought, and ran in front of him, and it ran neatly.

"Poof, haha."

Shanks couldn't hold back and smiled.

His eyes were full of smiles and pleasure.

I guessed the scene of meeting again, but I just didn't expect the other party to run so fast like seeing a cat.

Is he so terrifying?

Shanks touched his bearded face.

But......

Since you've run into the muzzle of the gun yourself, don't try to run away.

Shanks stuck at the corner of the street, like a hooligan, with one foot on the wall on the other side, staring at the woman in front of him who was half hidden in the shadows, and finally chuckled.

He read the name of the woman who had been separated for five years.

"Arka ~ long time no see."

Do you miss me?

Shanks hid the second half of the sentence and asked in his heart.

Did you miss me? Alka.

I'm panicking, Arka.
