I’m Not Interested in Devil Fruits: 686 Ship Elf

 "...In this way, four hundred years ago, Mont Blanc Noland, an adventurer and botanist from the North Sea, brought advanced medical knowledge to our ancestors and broke the superstition of blood sacrifice on the island at that time. He rescued the daughter of the great warrior Kalgara, eliminated the tree fever plague on the island, and successfully saved our ancestors... The great warrior Kalgara and Noland settled their differences and became close friends. The two drank wine. Have fun, hunt and compete together, and exchange culture on the island and overseas.

 "Although there was some misunderstanding before parting, which was quickly resolved... The great warrior Kalgara felt sorry for wronging his best friend. He roared loudly at the departing ship and made an agreement, so that he could come back next time. His friend’s ship will not get lost at sea and can find this island even in the fiercest storm. He vows that he will definitely greet his best friend with the loudest bell..."

 The ancient and primitive hidden village in the clouds is filled with many people on the white cloud ground. There are local Sandia residents and pirates from the Blue Sea.

 There is Weper, a descendant of the great warrior Kalgara, and Montblanc Kulik, a descendant of Montblanc Noland.

 Chief Shandia recounted this regretful past four hundred years ago beside the campfire...

Even though this was not the first time they heard it, many residents of Shandia were still moved to tears and silently wiped their eyes.

 There were also muddy tears in the chief's eyes. He said slowly: "However, a soaring sea current changed everything. Half of Gaya Island came with our hometown four hundred years ago. In this 10,000-meter-high sky, the Sky Islanders from four hundred years ago went crazy when they saw such a large piece of real land, and fought with our ancestors on the island... In the end, we were defeated. Instead we were driven from our homeland

 "The great warrior Kalgara led the warriors of his clan and tried desperately to regain his homeland and the Golden Bell every day...until he fought to the end and shed the last drop of blood on his body, he was filled with guilt. , I’m still thinking about it all the time...

 “‘Didn’t we make an appointment? Noland...’

 “‘One day, we will meet again.’

 “‘I wonder what you will think when you come to Gaia again and can’t find us?’

 “‘Wait for me a little longer, I will ring the golden bell now... Even in the sky of 10,000 meters, you can hear the bell, right?’

 “‘I must light the lights of Shandorla...can you hear me? We are here!’”

  The old chief's words were somewhat emotional. Of course, even if told in a straightforward manner, this regrettable past four hundred years ago is enough to hit people's hearts, especially for those young men who yearn for masculine romance. It can be said to be a heavy blow to the heart and even the soul.

 "Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu""Usopp and Chopper had been crying unnaturally for a long time, and their faces were distorted with snot and tears. "It's so uncomfortable! They couldn't convey their thoughts to me until the end. The other party, and died alone on this 10,000-meter empty island... Wuwuwuwuwu..."

 "Alas..." the old chief took a deep breath, woke up, and sighed, "Later, pirates from the North Sea came to Sky Island and told us that our great benefactor Noland... for He died in the blue sea for safeguarding the reputation of our golden hometown, Shantora! Even though he was called a 'big liar', he still insisted until his death that our hometown Shantora was real... It was just that at that time, the big The warrior Kalgara has passed away. Neither of them heard any news about their close friends before they died..."

 The old chief trembled and rummaged around for a while, and unexpectedly found an old and unseemly book.

 Nami said in surprise: "Isn't this the storybook that Uncle Li Zitou also has at home?"

 "North Sea Folktales: Noland the Great Liar"... Sanji, who was born in Beihai, read this book since he was a child. He couldn't help but be silent, lit a cigarette, took a puff, and after a while, slowly spit it out.

 "I sometimes think..." The old chief opened this yellowed and almost rotten storybook, and his rough fingers caressed the much worn pages. The "big liar" Nuo was drawn in a funny way. Rand's image giggled like a clown and said, "By the way, I know, those mountains of gold have sunk to the bottom of the sea." The old chief sighed: "The great warrior Kalgra did not hear the promise before his death." Rand's final ending, not being able to read such a book, may be the luckiest thing in this story..."

  "Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

 "Haha," Luffy held his head and laughed. This smile was obviously inappropriate. Even a girl like Nami who is not interested in so-called manly romance couldn't help but feel sad about this four hundred years of history. It's a pity that I was a little nervous when I saw Luffy suddenly laughing like this. Don't be stupid, kid, or you'll be beaten to death if you annoy the people around you! Luffy turned a blind eye to the strange looks around him and said with a smile: "Fortunately, uncle followed us to the Sky Island! Now we can finally fulfill our agreement, right?"

  This simple sentence moved all Sandians to tears, and Usopp burst into tears again. Standing next to the old chief, Aisha and the female warrior Raqi of the tribe said sadly: "But, Xiang Dora's light and golden bell...are still on the island, under the control of Enel..."

 “Just beat him away! That’s right?”

 Luffy smiled and ate the empty fish dinner made by Sanji, his eyes were firm, "He is very annoying, Xingzai is my friend, he stole Xingzai's owner, I originally wanted to go Beat him away!"

 The voice of the Straw Hat boy beside the bonfire behind him faded away, and Weper and Montblanc walked to the middle of the Cloud Hidden Village in Sandia.

 "Fah..." Montblanc held his muscular arms and looked up at the statue of the great warrior Kalgara. He blew out a puff of smoke and said with a smile, "I'll deal with that Eneloo tomorrow. Count me in." One?"

 He raised his fist, and Weper next to him raised his fist and touched him without saying anything.

 Bang.

 With his fists separated, there is another story being told by the campfire behind...

 This is Robin, telling everyone the story of Rabu, the whale on the island, and the Lombard Pirates and others. However, her tone was not as expressive as that of the old chief, and she seemed straightforward, even a little cold and melancholy... However, a whale who values ​​love and justice, and a whale who drifts alone with only a skeleton left after death, are the same. Another story about the promise still made Usopp, Chopper and others burst into tears again.

 "I didn't expect that whale to have such a story..." Nami sighed, "No wonder there are so many scars on its head..."

 In the story he told, Robin deliberately concealed himself and Lynch.

 Robin has recalled the past events over and over again alone, and does not want to tell them to others at this time. She didn't want to expose her vulnerable wounds to anyone but Lynch.

 “Okay! Then it’s decided!”

 Luffy punched his fists and said with a firm smile, "Let's go to the island tomorrow and fight off that angry Enelu! Rescue the master of Starboy and get back the Golden Seed!"

 Until then, eat and drink to your heart’s content!

 With the lively atmosphere of people like Luffy and Usopp, even a relatively serious tribal village like Sandia was led to a wrong atmosphere. Soon, even Nami was playing with the little girl Aisha, Everyone sang and danced around the lit bonfire, drank wine and ate meat, preparing for the battle that might never come back tomorrow. Looking at the fireworks from the top of the blazing bonfire floating above the clouds above, it seemed like the road to the underworld...

 "Sister Robin, why don't you go and play together?" Nami came over with a warm smile. After sitting down, she found Robin playing with two old yellowed papers and leaned over curiously. Asked, "Map? Isn't this the map of the sky island that Luffy and the others found in the sunken ship, and the map of Gaya Island that you drew yourself, sister Robin?"

Robin folded the two maps and put them together. Nami looked at the merged island, which looked like an island with a complete shape of a skull, and sighed: "I understand, this is what the so-called 'gold is hidden in the right eye of the skull' means..."

 Sleep came over her, Nami yawned, leaned next to Robin, and fell asleep unconsciously.

 At night, she woke up in a daze and found that everyone had finished making fun and the bonfire was still burning weakly. However, Luffy, Usopp, Zoro, Sanji, Chopper and others were already scattered on the ground among the clouds. He fell into a deep sleep.

 Where is Sister Robin?

  Nami turned her head and was startled when she saw a white phone bug lying on the ground of the island cloud next to her, eyes closed, resting.

 Sister Robin...seems to be sleeping in her phone bug castle all the time.

 Lying on her back next to the phone bug, Nami looked at the sky-like island clouds at the top, and unconsciously fell asleep again.

  …

 Robin opened his eyes and looked at the ceiling of the bedroom.

 Can't sleep...

 She lay there for a while and finally got up.

 After sitting beside the empty bed for a while with disheveled head and head lowered, Robin took a deep breath, walked to the bedroom bathroom, turned on the faucet and poured water on his face, and looked up at the sad man with a gloomy look in the mirror. woman's eyes.

 Closing his eyes, Robin took a few deep breaths, went back to the bedroom and changed his clothes. He put on a backpack that was convenient for field archeology and put on a wide-brimmed hat that could protect him from the sun.

 Tearing it apart, she took out a page, picked up the pen and wrote over and over again, leaving the last sentence: "I went to the island to explore the ruins of an ancient city that had been lost for four hundred years. Don't worry about me."

 Robin originally wanted to put the note on Xiao Lu’s head, but after thinking about it, he was worried that someone would find out in advance after getting up at night, so he patted the wall at the entrance of the castle, handed the note to Xiao Lu, and warned: " Spit it out and show it to them tomorrow morning, remember?"

 A phone bug appeared on the wall, yawned lazily, ate the note handed by Robin, and nodded.

 “Be good.” Robin patted the castle wall, held his backpack and pressed his hat, and jumped out.

  …

 Jumping out of the Phone Bug Castle, Robin saw Nami lying on her side on the cloud ground, sleeping peacefully with Xiaolu in her arms. She raised her feet gently so as not to step on Nami's arm.

 “…”

Looking down at Nami for a while, Robin walked towards the exit of Yunyin Village in the darkness.

 "Robin, where are you going..."

 The voice behind her made Robin stop. She looked back and saw that it was the sniper who was talking in his sleep. He muttered and was soon pressed down by the big feet stretched out from the side. He muttered a few words and fell asleep again. .

 “…”

 Robin turned back and continued to leave, using his flowery arm to uncover the exit of Daoyun's passage, and then used the arm stretched out from the exit to pull himself up. It's not that she doesn't have the jumping power to jump out, but on such an island cloud ground, once she jumps hard, the tremor will definitely wake up the vigilant Sandia warriors from their sleep. This is what Robin doesn't want to see.

What about people?

 Robin was walking on the island cloud ground outside. The scenery of the sky island world at night was very magnificent, as if he was in the dark and deep space, walking among the stars...

 She is looking for "B.I.B" who is not in the castle.

 Soon, he noticed the location of Lynch's stand-in armor through what he saw. On the Merry?

 As soon as Robin approached, Labu, who was resting on the sea next to the Meili, woke up and was about to shout happily, but Robin raised his finger and "shushed" him. Labu quickly silenced and turned to Luo Bin arched his head.

 Robin used the flower fruit to make many arms on the whale and gently stroked it, coaxing the island whale to Labu, while he boarded the Meili.

Through the visual experience, she saw the dark armor sitting cross-legged in the sky, but it seemed that he was not as focused on practicing the return of life as before.

 “What’s wrong?”

 Robin walked to it and "suddenly a man ran to the boat."

 ‘What’s wrong? 』

 The long and narrow eyes of the black armor shimmered, "Suddenly he didn't sleep alone and ran out in the middle of the night with his bag and clothes on his back?" 』

 “It’s not too sudden...”

 Robin laid a layer of carpet on the deck woven with his own palms, put down his backpack and sat down on the ground, "I can't sleep, not even a day or two... In these years, all year round, I can only get enough sleep for ten nights. ”

 『...』『B.I.B』 glanced over and said, 『This is Lin Daiyu’s words. 』

 Robin was speechless. She looked around on the boat, "Are you looking for something?"

 ‘No,’ ‘B.I.B’ said faintly, ‘I’m waiting for something... to come! 』

 As Robin watched in surprise, a layer of light slowly appeared in the bow of the Meili's sheep's head, and gradually condensed into an outline... like a child wearing a sailor suit.

 The child sailor turned his head and smiled at her and "B.I.B".

 Robin raised his head and glanced at the dark starry sky. In the middle of the night, this kind of thing appeared on a quiet pirate ship, and it smiled at people silently... It really looked like a ghost story. The plot in.

 “You…good…good…”

 The child sailor walked towards them quietly with a layer of shimmer. Robin was surprised to find that he couldn’t seem to see the child’s specific face. It seemed that it was always covered with a layer of vague fog, giving people The only impression I have is a simple smile.

 But this little sailor floated in front of "B.I.B" and hugged its mecha's legs affectionately. This look looked familiar to Robin, and he suddenly remembered that when he first met Xiao Lu, Xiao Lu was also very close to Lin Qi's stand-in.

 Because of the rich and pure life energy of "B.I.B"?

 It's still because of the power of the soul...

 "B.I.B" touched the little sailor's head and said, "I have felt it before. There is a faint soul conceived inside this ship... This should be the so-called so-called story that often appears among sailors. 'Ship Elf' it. 』

 "Ship Elves..." Robin was surprised. She had read a lot of miscellaneous books, and of course she knew this kind of legend. However, what she thought of at this moment was another thing, "So, the so-called Ship Elves, Is it very similar to the 'Homitz' made by Auntie?"

  ‘It’s a bit like it. 』

  The boat elf caressed by "B.I.B" arched his little head comfortably, "However, the boat elf is obviously more autonomous and can even achieve an 'out-of-body' experience, leaving its true body, the Meili." No. ship. 』

 Compared with the Homitz made from Big Mom's Soul Fruit...

Ship Spirit is more like Brooke’s out-of-body experience through the underworld fruit.
