"Ship, ship elf?"

"Isn't that a legendary thing?"

"Well, what is a ship elf?"

Puzzlement, questioning, questioning followed. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

"What are ship elves? This one... How to say it, according to the official statement: the ship elf is a spirit produced by the crew of a ship through mutual care and cherishing the hull of the ship. In my understanding, because since the days of being at sea with the Golden Merry, you have invested in the Merry, and you cherish the hull of the Merry very much, and it is your feelings for the Merry that have made the soulless Merry have a soul, and this is the ship elf. Long Fei thought for a moment, organized his words, and explained the origin of the ship elves respectively.

"I seem to remember when I was a kid that the stinky old man (Tetsuo) seemed to have told me about the ship elves, but I always thought it was a legend because no one had seen it. I didn't expect that there really was a ship elf, and it appeared in front of my eyes, and I am afraid that no one would believe it. At this time, Sanji no longer had the shocked look he had before, and he reappeared with an indifferent face.

In fact, many of the legends are not groundless, but well-founded. Some even once existed, but fewer people were seen later, and they didn't even appear in front of people's eyes again, so they were gradually regarded as legends. Like what. Millennial Dragon, elixir. Do you still think it's something of legend? "Long Fei.

Nami and the others were silent, of course this is not a legend, but a real existence. Because this is what they have seen with their own eyes, they have personally touched, and they have even fought with the navy in order to protect the Millennium Dragon.

"Actually, the ship elves are not as strange as you think. Usually every ship that has been on the road for a few years has the possibility of giving birth to a ship spirit. But as I said before, the ship elf is just a consciousness body, it belongs to the existence that ordinary people can't see, touch, and can't feel, and there are too few ship elves who can evolve their consciousness into entities like Douding, so sometimes even if a ship elf is born on a ship, the crew on this ship may not know its existence until the ship is destroyed. Let's be honest, though. I am very curious about how Mei Li not only became conscious in just half a year, but also transformed her body from virtual to real. Long Fei looked at Mei Li, although he didn't say it explicitly, but the meaning of hoping for Mei Li's answer was obvious.

"Since I was born, I have always felt everyone's love for me, and I have always wanted to respond to everyone's love, but I found that people can't see me, can't hear me, can't feel my existence." Speaking of this, Merry's expression looked very depressed.

So, I've been thinking about it, I've been hoping that one day I'll be able to have a physical body, so that people can see me, touch me, and hear me. Then I wouldn't be able to chat with everyone and have fun with Luffy, Usopp and Chopper. Later, well. Around the time I left Alabastan, I found myself beginning to materialize my body. At that time I was really happy and excited, because soon my wish was about to come true, and soon I would be able to meet everyone, talk to everyone, and play with Luffy. Hehehe. Merry laughed happily as she spoke, both eyes narrowed.

"Merry, we can play together in the future." Hawkers, the living treasure trio will be promoted to the living treasure foursome in the future.

"Melly was the best. I like Merry the most. Chopper's eyes were shining with tears.

"Merry, it's great to see you, really. Woooooo, the most agitated of the crowd, was crying. Nami and Sanji Sauron also looked at Meri with a happy face, their eyes full of pampering and love.

"In these days with you, I have carried you through a lot of hardships and dangers, visited many magical places, and seen a lot of incredible things, and I am really, really happy. Originally, I wanted to travel forever with everyone, but the Merry couldn't go any further. The keel of the Merry was too badly damaged to be repaired, in fact, I had already anticipated this day when I found out a month ago that the keel was starting to break, I'm sorry. But it's great to be able to bring you all here. Merry smiled happily again, but Merry's smile at the moment was so heart-wrenching in the eyes of Nami and the others.

Nami silently hugged the somewhat overwhelmed Meri in her arms with tears in her eyes, Sanji lowered his head, he couldn't see his expression, the cigarette in his mouth had already been bitten into two and fell at his feet, Zoro still had an indifferent look, but from his slightly pale hand holding the handle of the knife, it showed that Zoro's mood at this time was not as calm as he appeared. And the living treasure trio on the ship was crying even more at the moment.

"It's us who say we're sorry. I won't make the rudder and cause you to hit the iceberg. I've broken your sails, too. Zoro and Sanji are also rough men, and they have damaged many places on the ship. Long Fei also broke the mast (Long Fei: Do I have it?). When it was, how I don't remember). Although Usopp will go to repair, he is clumsy. If you're sorry... That's what we say. At this time, Luffy and Chopper were already crying with snot and tears, which was weird and disgusting.

At this time, looking at Long Fei, who was looking at the sad face in the cabin, he also felt inexplicable. : It's strange, weren't they still elated before, why did they turn cloudy in the blink of an eye, and they cried one by one.

"Hey, what are you crying about? Also, how do I feel like you're saying goodbye to Merry, what kind of trouble are you guys making up? “

"Because Merry can't continue sailing with all of us, so, that's why we're sad." Chopper said with tears in his eyes, snorting and sobbing.

"Merry? Peeaceae. Says who. "This time, Long Fei didn't understand.

"Ahh

"Well, didn't Mei Li just say that Mei Li was seriously damaged and could no longer be repaired, and could not continue to sail with us."

"Therefore, others must listen carefully when they are talking about business, otherwise there will be a lot of oolong incidents. Peewee was talking about his own ship, the Golden Merry, not Dou Ding himself. Long Fei, who understood that everyone had thought things crookedly, began to explain.

"What do you mean?"

"What do you mean, I don't know what you mean, what kind of IQ do you have? Well, to use an analogy: for example, Sanji, what would you do if your house was damaged and you couldn't live in it? ”

"Build a new one, buy a new one. What do you mean?" Sanji seemed to finally come to his senses.

"Ah, the relationship between Peewee and Merry is like the relationship between a resident and a house. The Merry can't be repaired, but if we just have a new ship and then move Peewee there, Peaceutic can continue the voyage with everyone. "Does that work?" Although it is a different boat, after all, it is not Wuli's original body, and it is still unknown whether it can work. Everyone was inevitably a little worried.

"Okay, you can ask Douding and you'll know." Long Fei directly threw this question to Mei Li.

"Well, because I'm a ship elf, I can live in a ship that doesn't produce a ship elf, and of course, it will take some time to merge if I want to fully master the new ship."

"Haha, that's great, Merry. Then you can continue sailing with us again. ”

"Yes, yes, we can play together in the future."

"Yes, yes."

After knowing that Mei Li was fine, everyone who was still sad broke into tears and laughed one by one, and everyone's mood immediately changed from the weather that was still windy and snowy to sunny.

"Long Fei, why didn't you make it clear earlier, we shed so many tears after saying it in vain." Nami looked at Long Fei with some complaint.

"One, you didn't ask. Two, from the very beginning, I called Mei Li Peewe, and called the Golden Mei Li Mei Li. And Chopper also called Merry when talking about his hull. It's because you didn't hear clearly and thought crookedly, you can blame me, cut"

"Uh" Nami was stunned for a moment, then thought back for a moment that it was really like this, knowing that she was wrong to blame Long Fei, and then saw that Long Fei looked very unhappy at this time, so she quickly apologized, "Hehe, I'm sorry Long Fei, I blame you." ”

"What is the meaning of it, it is simply okay."

Next, the atmosphere in the cabin was naturally one of joy and joy. Merry is having fun with Luffy, Chopper and Usopp. Luffy kept tearing his rubber body into various shapes. Usopp said all sorts of big things that were deceitful when they first sounded.

"Usopp, aren't you leaving the Merry, why don't you leave?" Long Fei's sudden words like an eviction order swept away the originally happy atmosphere in the cabin.

"Hey, Long Fei, how can you say that, I'm the captain." Luffy's words really mean that he is the captain of the Straw Hat Pirates, and it is up to him whether or not Usopp gets off the ship, and Long Fei is not qualified to decide.

"Ah, I know you're the captain, so I don't need you to remind you."

"Long Fei..."Chopper

"Long Fei..."Merry.

Nami, Zoro, and Sanji also looked at Long Fei with puzzled expressions, wondering why Long Fei would say such a thing.

"Why are you all looking at me, you all have ears to what Usopp said before. Usopp himself confessed that he was leaving the ship for the sake of a ship that could not be repaired, that could not be sailed, and that he wanted to draw a line with those of us who had been with us all day and night, and who had been through countless storms and storms together. ”

"That's just Usopp's impulse words because of the Merry." Nami tries to kick Usopp to get away with it.

"I asked him if he was too impulsive in his decision to leave the Pirates. He said he was calm and knew exactly what he was talking about. Nami was speechless, not knowing what to say.

"If the Merry can't be repaired, isn't it only Usopp who is sad, aren't you sad, aren't you sad? But why didn't you come out to oppose Luffy's decision, only Usopp opposed it and quarreled with Luffy. It is to show how much he cherishes the Merry, how much affection and righteousness he has, and how ungrateful we are. Impulse? He was impulsive and he could defy the captain's decision. He was impulsive, and he could easily make the decision to leave the ship. What is he a pirate ship, a vegetable market, he can come when he wants, he can leave when he wants, he still thinks he is playing the captain's game in the village, he plays when he is happy, and breaks up when he is unhappy. Usopp is now a real pirate, no longer the child king of the village who only knows how to brag. It's Usopp impulse this time, so who will it be next time, Nami, you, or me, or Sanji and Zoro. If in the future, all of you use impulsiveness as an excuse to ignore the rules of the ship and the captain's orders, and act recklessly according to your heart's thoughts, then is there still any need for this ship to exist, and it will be disbanded now. In the end, Long Fei angrily slammed his fist on the dining table, directly shattering the table to pieces.

Long Fei's actions immediately startled everyone on the boat. Sanji and Zoro looked surprised, and Nami covered her mouth, her eyes wide open, and her face was shocked. Chopper was even more frightened and hid.

In the days when they got along with Long Fei, everyone found that Long Fei was a very good-tempered person, and it was rare to see Long Fei angry, especially for his companions, uh, except for things involving Nami. So now seeing Long Fei sending such a big deal in front of everyone, he couldn't speak for a while.

"I see, I'm leaving now, thank you all for taking care of me all these days." Usopp bowed to the group and turned to leave.

"Usopp" Chopper and Merry were teary-eyed, holding Usopp's hand left and right, not wanting to let him go.

"Stop, where do you want to go? Luffy, did you agree with Usopp leaving the ship? Long Fei called out to Usopp and turned to Luffy to ask.

I have to say that although Luffy's usual IQ is negative, Luffy is still very smart at some critical times. As soon as Luffy heard Long Fei's words, he understood the meaning of Long Fei's words, so he hurriedly said, "No, I never promised Usopp the decision to leave the bed." ”

As if knowing that what he said before was a bit heavy, Long Fei calmed down and found a place to sit down and continued to speak.

"I didn't say anything to drive you away, but to make you realize that you were doing something wrong. As a crew member, you should not disobey the decisions made by Luffy as the captain. Unconditional obedience to the captain's orders is the most basic and important professional ethics that a crew member must observe. Because as a sailor, if he doesn't even listen to the captain's orders, then who will he listen to, and who else on the ship can command him. At sea, in addition to the test of the climate, we also have the threat of the navy and other pirate groups. Perhaps at one point when you fought the enemy, it was likely that you disobeyed the captain's orders and put your companions in danger. If that's the case, what do you let your companions think of you, can they still trust you, and do they dare to give you their back when they fight? Think about it for yourself. Ahem, I wasted my saliva and said so much, and no one prepared a glass of water for me. Long Fei complained, and then the others began to look for water all over the house to drink.
