The strongest vice captain of One Piece

,

spn It was already dusk when Usopp woke up, and the waves under the setting sun were glowing with golden luster, but everyone appreciated it. The bad news they received today made everyone feel heavy in their hearts. The follower of Merry

Our friend who has been sailing for so long has become terminally ill, and the dhow will soon be scrapped and sink to the bottom of the sea.

"My head hurts... By the way, Nero, you just knocked me out, didn't you? What on earth do you want to do!" Usopp touched the back of his head, which still hurts, and pointed.

Nero, the culprit, cursed loudly.

"That's to clear your mind!" Nero turned his head and looked at Usopp with his eyes. Suddenly, a feeling as if he was being targeted by a monster made Usopp shut up. "Think about it, you were at the shipyard today.

What exactly did you do? I can tell you clearly that this ship is going to sink! And I already knew about this many days ago! I'm just afraid of you

We haven't told you because of our sadness and someone's request. Your reaction today makes me very disappointed! Everyone is very sad when the Melly is gone. You usually protect the Melly the most. We understand how sad you are. But we understand.

I hope you remember that you are the sniper on our ship, not the kid king in that village. Think about it for yourself!"

After Nero finished speaking, he regained his momentum, turned his head and looked at the sea outside, and gently scratched the chin of Ibrahimovic in his arms.

Usopp sat there blankly. For a moment, he seemed to think that Nero would really kill him! But this terrible feeling made Usopp really calm down. What happened on this day was really too...

It's complicated. "I'm sorry, I..." Usopp didn't know what to say, he was too willful! Thinking carefully about what he did today, he was really willful, but, "...

····I don’t want to lose Melly, really! I don’t want to lose him!”[

Seeing Usopp crying, everyone felt even heavier. Yes, I really don't want to lose this small place. Although it is very crowded when sleeping at night, and although I have to queue for a long time to take a shower, although...

··I really like this little boat! Several boys closed their eyes and said nothing, and the girls began to sob softly.

"I know everyone likes Merry, but he can't hold on any longer...Forget it, I don't know what to say anymore! Doudin, come out!" Nero saw the atmosphere.

Suddenly it became heavy and I thought I should tell everyone the news. I gave the Eevee in my arms to Abis who was already crying and let her use it as a towel, while Nero walked to a corner in a few steps.

, grab something and pull it out hard.

"Don't pull me! I will go out on my own, stop me!" A small figure in a black cloak was trying his best to fight against Nero, and Nero was pulling him out like a carrot. The most disturbing thing

To his surprise, the other half of his body was actually inside the wall!

"Come out here! Didn't you agree to meet everyone? Don't be shy!" Nero pulled the little shadow hard and finally pulled him out. Nero was carrying the "trophy"

"He walked triumphantly to the middle of the cabin, put him on the ground and pulled off the hood of his cloak, "This is the surprise I give everyone - the ship elf of our Melly, Doudin! Come on, Doudin and everyone.

Say hello!”

"Don't talk about little ones! Dou Ding! No!" The smooth golden hair was combed into a small braid on the back of the head, and the handsome little face had an expression of embarrassment, coupled with the small stature of less than one meter. (

For details, see Childhood Edward in Steel) Although he looks very cute, his name of Bean Ding can be said to be well-deserved.

Nero pressed his hand on the head of the Ship Elf, making him wave his little arms in vain, but he couldn't even touch a corner of Nero's clothes. Nero smiled at the Ship Elf and nuzzled his lips, asking him to look next to him.

, "Are you sure you're not Doudin? Even the youngest Abis is taller than you!"

The ship elf glanced at Abis who was looking at him curiously, made some calculations, and then... ran to the corner to draw circles alone.

"This is...what...person." Weiwei felt that her brain was short-circuited. Pulling out a person from the wall, how is this possible! Although this guy is a little one (Ship Elf)

burst into tears), but it’s impossible to be so outrageous as to hide in the wall!

"Quack!" Karu held a bunch of garlic he had taken from nowhere and looked nervously at the guy who was performing a curse ritual in the corner.

"It should be some kind of ship elf. Isn't the eldest brother an elf? A relative or something." Kuina said with some uncertainty, as if she got along well with her eldest brother. If he hadn't been blond, he must be his illegitimate son.

.No, maybe the woman has blond hair!

While Kuina was pulling the ship elf's face to compare it with Nero, Dasqi, a bespectacled girl who had the same appearance as Kuina, touched her chin and struggled to remember something. "By the way, that's it! I'm the ship elf.

I've heard of it!" Dasqi clapped her hands as if she remembered something. Her shout also attracted everyone's attention, well, except Kuina, she also

While conducting research on the relationship between ship elves and Nero. "I heard a senior uncle who managed an old navy warehouse talk about ship elves before. He said that some strange creatures would be born on old ships that have been used for a long time.

No one has seen their true appearance, and they will hear their crying every night. And then...it hurts!"

Halfway through Daschi's story with an incomprehensible tone, Nero ended her story with a knife. "Don't tell random ghost stories, that one is about the ghost of a sailor, okay?" Nero pressed it and it hurt.

temple, maybe I should tell you some common sense about the sea.

They said, "The materials of the ship are all wood that has grown for many years. The wood that is more than 10,000 years old will give birth to a kind of creature called an elf, and those old wood will take a long time to make a ship."

The voyage will also give birth to a soul, which is the ship spirit."

"In other words, this bean sprout is the soul of the Merry?" Sanji looked in disbelief at the struggling ship elf who was being pulled in the face by Kuina.

"Are you sure you didn't kidnapped this little guy as your son from somewhere?" Zoro looked at Nero with suspicion, and then glanced at Abis and Shirley. He has a criminal record!

"How is that possible! Don't imitate me!" x2 Nero and the ship elves who escaped from Guina's clutches retorted to Sauron in unison.

"Okay, okay, after all, this little guy is Merry, right? It's really unbelievable that Merry looks like this." Nami saw that the topic was discussing the blood relationship between Nero and this little guy.

develop in the right direction and speak out in time to bring the topic back on track.

"I was also surprised when I found out about this. Maybe the Melly is a small sailboat. This guy is surprisingly small!" Nero pressed the boat elf's head and once again stopped the little guy from trying desperately with himself.

.Then he turned to Usopp, who was staring blankly at the ship elf, and smiled, "You have met this little guy before. Do you remember when you were on Sky Island? You accidentally met him once that night.

Yes, but you seemed to have thought him a ghost and scared him unconscious."

"In that case, you were the one who repaired the Merry that night! I remember you seemed to smile at me at that time." Usopp also remembered the scene he accidentally saw when he got up to pee that night.

He walked down from the bed and knelt down to hold the Ship Elf in his arms, "I'm sorry Merry, I'm really sorry! We don't care about you so much. You were hurt so badly but we didn't know it at all! Every time we go to the island, we only care about ourselves.

I don’t know how to take you to the dock to check it out! Melly...”

"It's me who should be sorry. Originally, I wanted to carry everyone on a journey forever, but this was just my delusion. When there was a crack in the keel a few months ago, I thought that this moment would come, but it's really great that I can persist here.

Great!" Tears also flowed from the boat elf's eyes. He hugged Usopp's neck with his small arms and buried Lian.

In his curly hair, "Don't blame yourself and don't blame everyone. It is precisely because you love me more than others that I feel everyone's call, and I can meet you before sinking. I am very happy, and I meet you every day

Let's live together and have adventures together. Thank you very much. You still cherish me so much."[

"We are the ones who have to say I'm sorry!" Luffy, who had been holding back his tears, finally couldn't stop his tears. "I can't control the helm and caused you to mount an iceberg. I also broke your sails. Zoro and Shan

They are also rough people, and they damaged many places on the ship. Although Usopp can repair it, he is clumsy. If you want to say sorry...it should be us who say it!"

Everyone closed their eyes and quietly recalled every moment of their time together with the Melly, and the cabin fell into a heavier atmosphere.

Nami wiped away her tears, walked up to Nero, stood up on tiptoes, and kissed him gently on the cheek. Seeing Nero's overwhelmed look, Nami wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and gave Nero a smile.

With a charming smile, "Thank you for the surprise for everyone. We are all very happy to see the Merry for the last time before we say goodbye. Otherwise, I think I would never have known that our 15th crew member turned out to be such a cute little guy.

Guy!"

"Don't say I'm young! And I'm not ready to leave, so how could this be the last time we meet! I will definitely grow taller than you in the future!" The ship elf waved his little fist and shouted angrily at Nami.

The ship elf's words made Nami stunned for a moment. Nami suddenly thought of something and said to Nero in an unusually gentle tone, "Dear Mr. Nero, do you still have something to say? Melizhen

Is it hopeless?"

"How is that possible? He is now equivalent to the same soul body as your mother Bellemere. Although I have no way to repair the ship, as long as a new ship is built, I am sure to move him to the new ship and continue the adventure with everyone.

This is the real surprise!" Nero said triumphantly, completely unaware that the crying in the cabin stopped. Everyone looked at him with a very subtle look.

"In other words, you made us shed so many tears in vain?" Nami looked at Nero and showed a frightening smile. She rotated the weather wand in her hands to form a mass of cold and warm air. The top of Nero's head gradually gathered.

A dark cloud...

"I just want to save the surprise until the end. I have something else to do, so you guys can continue on!" Nero also noticed that the situation was not good and sneakily moved toward the door. But before he could sneak to the door, Kuina and Dasqi had already

They both stood there.

"It's okay, brother, we don't know how to use knives. With your recovery ability, you can't die." Kuina moved her wrists, and together with Dasqi, blocked Nero's last escape route.

"No!"······

"Hahaha, everyone is very happy! I can leave with peace of mind." On a rock not far from the Melly, Robin looked at the Melly with a beautiful but sad smile.

"Ship elves are actually born. You really cherish your ship." A masked man stood behind Robin, looking weird in the dusk sunlight. "It's time to go, Nicole Robin. You

We’ve seen the last of you, don’t push yourself too far. The time has come, we still have to go to Frankie and Bingshan to get some things.”

"Hey, I understand." Hearing this man's smile, Robin also put away the expression on his face. He turned back and walked into the darkness, "I listen to you, and now I have nothing to do with the Straw Hat Pirates.

I hope you won’t embarrass them.”

"We won't do anything to them. If they leave here obediently." The masked man snorted coldly, turned around and disappeared into the darkness.
