The rising warm sun finally began to release its viciousness.

Intense sunlight casts unbearable heat in this rainforest.

Even if you hide in the shade of trees and bushes, you can't sleep peacefully.

The unknown ancient insect has been making a "buzzing" sound, adding to the irritability of this hot weather.

"Ha~ah~"

The hot ground scorched Sauron, who had just fallen asleep for a while, from his dream.

The disheveled Sauron yawned helplessly, but he was not in the mood to continue sleeping.

"Drink—whew—"

"Drink—whew—"

At Sauron's side, the two giants didn't care about the hot ground, and with the comfort of wine, they were still asleep.

……

……

"Zoro!"

Zolon, who was just about to get up and go back to the Merry, happened to run into Luffy who came to look for him.

Zolon, who found himself in his current state, showed a wry smile a little embarrassed, then quickly stood up, sorted it out, and asked Luffy:

"What's wrong, Luffy?"

"Nothing, just come and have a look.

But now that you've woken up, it's time for us to go. ”

"Oooh...... Good. ”

When Sauron heard this, he immediately looked around.

It turned out that apart from his three love knives, there didn't seem to be anything else he needed to clean up.

The floor was covered with a dazzling array of wine bottles, which made Sauron's heart ache even more.

Out of sight, out of mind, don't drink with the giants next time!

Zoro secretly made a pit in his mind.

……

……

"Luffy."

Merry, who had been hiding behind Luffy, suddenly screamed.

Luffy turned his head and patted her on the head, but didn't say anything, just nodded slightly.

Merry immediately nodded in response, and then ran in the direction of Brocky.

Glancing at Merry's back during the run, Luffy only thought about it for a moment, and immediately gave Zoro a look, and the two of them left the place silently.

Merry's affairs, leave it to her to deal with it herself.

He had already discussed it with Merry just now.

If Brocky agrees to follow Merry, Luffy can let him live in the Republic of Goa.

This way, Merry can see him at any time, and the two can fight each other at any time.

But for Brockie, leaving here means that he has almost no chance to fight with his partner Dongli in the future.

Luffy said the same thing to Merry, don't force everything, there are more interesting things waiting for her in the outside world.

It's just that maybe because Brocky was the first person to let Merry enjoy the joy of fighting, so Merry was still a little reluctant to him and decided to ask in person.

Regardless of the outcome, Merry didn't want to just walk away.

It's not so much a pet, it's better to say that Merry and Brocky have become good friends who don't fight and don't know each other.

Since Mei Li also said so, Luffy finally decided to leave everything to Mei Li to solve, which can be regarded as a kind of exercise for her.

Anyway, no matter what the result is, it doesn't matter much to Luffy.

……

……

In the outer sea of the small garden, the Merry is quietly docked here.

It's been more than an hour since Luffy and the others came here.

The long wait did not make everyone bored, and they gathered or dispersed all over the deck, doing their own thing.

Only Princess Vivi, because of a newspaper she had just received, fell into a deep self-isolation.

Squatting in the corner of the Merry, her face extremely gloomy.

No need to ask, everyone can guess that it must be the situation in the Kingdom of Alabastan, which has become more serious.

……

……

The feeling of helplessness permeated Vivi's body.

And just when Weiwei fell into deep despair, a somewhat strange voice suddenly came.

"I asked Luffy ......"

"After one more island, we can go full speed ahead and sprint straight to Alabastan."

Nami suddenly padded her little feet, and when Weiwei was sad in her heart, she gently walked to Weiwei's side, as if she was still a little shy, her face was a little red, and said to Weiwei.

Wei Wei raised her head slowly, and there were still two gentle marks on both sides of her face.

It can be seen that when everyone was not paying attention just now, this helpless princess had already secretly cried.

Seeing Vivi's haggard gaze, which was completely different from usual, Nami unconsciously felt a little worried.

Due to the limited number of bedroom rooms on the Merry, Vivi has been living with Nami for the rest of her life.

Two girls of the same age, although they are exposed to completely different worlds, still have a lot of similarities in their living habits.

After a few days of contact, the two slowly developed a relationship similar to that of girlfriends.

It's just that Vivi doesn't dare to cross many things because of Nami's strength, and Nami is embarrassed to pierce this layer of window paper because of the coldness she has cultivated since childhood.

Now, when everyone in the starry sky is happy for Mei Li's growth, Weiwei, who is huddled alone in the corner, looks even more distressing.

Nami finally couldn't let go of her worries, and took the initiative to run over and began to comfort Vivi with her lame cover-up.

Seeing Nami's rare and cute embarrassed expression, Weiwei, who was stunned for a while, suddenly burst into tears and laughed.

Gently bend your fingers and wipe away the remaining tears from the corners of your eyes.

Suddenly, a bright smile that was completely different from just now, raised his head and rushed towards Nami.

"Thank you, Nami."

All emotions, needless to say.

Nami's face also slowly relaxed, revealing a relieved smile, and said softly:

"Everything will be fine......"

With Nami's encouragement, Vivi stood up, looked at the orange-haired girl in front of her, and replied affirmatively:

"Hmm!"

When they first met, Vivi only thought that Nami was a cold-blooded powerhouse with the character of a Baroque killer.

However, as the time of contact increases, she can more and more discover that Nami is hidden under the cold exterior, just like the kindness of an ordinary little girl.

……

……

Luffy quietly observed, and the two people who were communicating in the corner also inadvertently curled the corners of their mouths on their faces, and they were indescribably happy.

With the passage of time, everyone in the starry sky is also imperceptibly affected by the things they encounter......

Many people are changing in a better direction.

"Huh!?"

Luffy, who turned his head, instantly bumped into Robin's big beautiful eyes.

Robin, as always, unabashedly follows Luffy.

In his eyes, there is a tenderness like water, and it seems that he can turn into a crazy surge at any time, expressing his feelings.

The corners of Luffy's mouth cracked, and he smiled tacitly with Robin.

There are also people, from the very beginning, who have not changed in the slightest!

……

……

In less than an hour, there was a sudden movement from the island.

Everyone on the deck looked in unison in the direction of the sound.

Above the lush forest leaves, a huge horned hat suddenly appeared.

And on top of that giant roof, a lively little Lori is shaking her legs, waving to everyone with laughter and shouting:

"Hi everyone~

I'm back with my pet! ”

After saying that, Mei Li was still on the iron sheet under her buttocks, and slapped it twice, making a thumping sound, as if to prove something.

"Aha!"

Brockie laughed too, not feeling any resentment at Merry for saying she was a pet.

Elbaf's warriors respect the strong and keep their promises.

A spit and a nail!

If you say it, it must count.

He had already made an appointment with Dongli, and he continued to practice with the Starry Sky Pirates.

Dongli, on the other hand, returned to Elbaf first, and also carried out the unique cultivation of the Giant Clan.

Fifty years later, the two will fight again.

In this battle, there will be no more draws!

In this regard......

The green ghost Dongli and the red ghost Brocky, who had been together for more than a hundred years, were completely separated.

The two didn't say anything more, because ......

A warrior with deep feelings never says too much when parting.

Every choice they made was set for them by the god of war Elbaf - the best path!
