Leaving behind a ship full of charmed Navy,

We returned with the rescued Murlocs and the tightly bound pirates.

After returning to the Moby Dick, Sács handed them all over to Jinping.

As for how the Fishmen would deal with the pirates, that was their internal affair.

It had nothing to do with us.

"Really … Thank you very much."

Jinping bowed deeply to us in thanks.

As a member of the Fishmen Island's Royal Guard, he was often so polite that he didn't seem like a pirate.

In stark contrast to the members of The Whitebeard Pirates, Sács almost immediately hooked his arm around his shoulder and patted him on the back like brothers.

"I say, Jinping, you're too polite.

What's our relationship?

What's the relationship between The Whitebeard Pirates and Mermaid Island?

If you're so thankful for something as trivial as helping you find someone, then you don't treat us as your own people. "

"Hahahaha, you're right.

This old man was too distant. "Jinping laughed heartily when he heard that," But I still have to thank you.

This … Leah, right?

Sherry told me that you did the most this time, so this old man should thank you properly. "

Because Jinping and The Whitebeard Pirates had a good relationship,

I didn't feel too nervous when facing him like I did when facing strangers.

When I heard that,

I also had the luxury of joking around a little.

"Then give me Mermaid Island's snacks." I said with a smile.

"I've always heard that the snacks on the Mermaid Island are very delicious.

However, I haven't had the chance to taste it yet. If you want to give me a thank you gift, this is very good. "

That's the snack that Luffy said was better than meat in the manga!

To make Luffy say that it was better than meat,

It must be extraordinarily delicious!

Speaking of which, Big

Mom also seems to have a soft spot for Mermaid Island's snacks?

"No problem." Jinping agreed and smiled at me.

"Sherry told me to tell you.

Don't forget to go to her café when you go to Mermaid Island with everyone. "

"I won't forget." I waved my hand.

"I'm curious too. Whether it's the Mermaid Island or the café, I want to see it with my own eyes, so I definitely won't forget."

It's not only men who yearn for the beautiful Mermaid Island — women yearn for it too!

Which girl who has seen the sea hasn't fantasized about seeing the beautiful Mermaids with their own eyes!

But speaking of gifts …

I ran in front of Whitebeard and looked up at him for a while. Then, I said embarrassedly.

"That, that … Dad!"

I mustered up the courage, "Dad's't's't's's.... is't's't's?"

Me't't't't's't't't't't's't't't't't't't't't't't's.

"I … I …" I sneaked a glance at my dad's shoulder, pursed my lips, and continued, "I want my dad to lift me up high!"

Actually, I wanted to sit on White Beard's shoulder. I've always been curious about what it feels like to sit on such a high place.

I like F ○ te/Stay.

Everyone in Night should have an impression of Ilya sitting on Hercules' shoulder!

To be honest, the first time I saw that scene, I couldn't help but imagine the feeling of being placed on a tall man's shoulder.

But since it's hard to do in real life, I only wrote about it in a novel.

But White Beard is so tall!

He's over seven meters tall!

It's a scene that fits your imagination!

But … it's better not to think about it.

After all, White Beard is the overlord of the sea. It's fine for him to lift me up, but it doesn't make sense for me to sit on his shoulder …

So!

I want a hug!

Lift me up high!

"Kulalalala!"

Everyone had an expression of "I thought you were going to say something, but this is what you're going to say? Are you kidding me?". White Beard laughed for a while, then reached out and carried me up from the ground.

His hands were huge, and he could wrap my entire waist with one hand.

I could tell that he didn't do this often, and his movements were a little rusty. But his hands were very steady, and he kept lifting me up high until I was at eye level with him.

"Wow …"

I looked around and revealed a surprised expression.

Although it's not that I haven't looked down from a tall building before, it's the first time I've looked down from a high place with my feet in the air.

Thinking that this is what White Beard usually sees, I couldn't help but reveal an expression of admiration.

Seeing my expression, White Beard just smiled and put me on his shoulder.

… Wait, it was placed on his shoulder?!

"Dad?!"

"Hey, Dad, you can't be serious!"

"Really, there should be a limit to how much you spoil your daughter (sigh) …"

Following White Beard's action, the ground below suddenly became chaotic. I subconsciously hugged White Beard's neck. Because I was too surprised, it took me a while to find my voice.

"That … That … Let, let me down … Dad?"

"Kulalalala!"

White Beard just smiled and patted my shoulder. He raised his hand and gestured at his sons who were in a mess, "Okay, this is a reward for Leah."

Then, I understood that White Beard really saw through it. What I really wanted was to sit on his shoulder.

Not only did he not reprimand this spoiled and willful wish of mine, but he used such a calm and collected method to make it seem as though he had acted on his own initiative, shouldering the responsibility for me.

After all, it was offensive for me to ask to sit on his shoulder, but White Beard took the initiative to let me sit on his shoulder to indulge his daughter.

He used this way to fulfill my wish that was a little too much.

On a pirate ship, the Captain's will is absolute.

Since White Beard said it, the others couldn't say anything.

Although I still felt a little nervous, since this was my dad's good intention, I accepted it shamelessly.

I sat firmly on the old man's shoulder and wrapped my arms around his neck. After a while, I carefully rubbed against his neck.

"Thank you, Dad."

White Beard just smiled and didn't say anything.

I also smiled and hugged my dad a little tighter.

… … …

After the incident of sitting on his shoulder, there was an inexplicable strange aftershock in The Whitebeard Pirates.

Those tall captains and crew members suddenly seemed to have some strange fun. From time to time, they would run to the Fourth Squad, pick me up from behind, and shake me twice before running away.

I could endure it once or twice, but after seven or eight times, even if I had social phobia, I wouldn't be able to endure it.

So I changed my Iron Fist Saintess card and used my Dragon Slaying Iron Fist to tell those stinky men what it means to not touch a girl's waist, what it means to f * cking mess with me when I'm reading, what it means to be lifted up without my permission, even if it's my brother!

"Forget it, forget it."

Sács held me and patted my head comfortingly, "Everyone thought you liked to be lifted up, so they wanted to make you happy."

"But they can't just come over and lift me up for no reason!" I put my hands on my waist, still angry, "Do those bastards think they're gathering people to pet a cat?!"

"Okay, okay, I'll talk to them about this. It's okay, you're not angry anymore?"

Sács continued to comfort me. He turned around and hung a sign in front of the Fourth Division. There was only one line of words on it.

[You are not allowed to lift Leah up without her permission.]

I got even angrier when I saw the sign.

Let's not talk about the grammatical errors … What kind of wording is this?! "

I'm angry!!!

"Erm, Leah …"

"What's the matter?!"

I turned around angrily. I smiled when I saw who it was. "It's Auze. What's up?"

Auze Jr., one of the captains of The Whitebeard Pirates. He was considered huge even among the giants.

He had always had a good relationship with the Fourth Division. He'd even helped me hunt sea monsters before, so I had a good impression of him.

Even when she was very angry, she was still willing to treat him with a pleasant expression.

Auze opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something. But he'd always been a clumsy person, so he couldn't organize his words properly. In the end, he became anxious.

I tilted my head and thought for a while. Then, I nodded in realization.

"Here!

This is a thank-you gift from Jinping. It's a snack from Fishmen Island. "

I smiled and held out the snack in my hand. "Auze, you want to eat this, right? You're welcome. Here!

You can have it! "

"I'm not …" Auze opened his mouth. In the end, he lowered his head dejectedly and took the snack. "Thank you, Leah …"

"You're welcome." I tilted my head and felt a little strange.

Huh? Captain Auze seems to be even more dejected?

The next day, Auze came again. I was making fried rice, so I gave him a bowl.

Auze ate the fried rice in silence and left dejectedly.

On the third day, Auze came again. I had just made a soft stewed braised pork. This time, I didn't wait for him to open his mouth and gave him a big bowl. He obediently finished it and left me with an inexplicably dejected back.

… …

… …

… …

On the tenth day, I put down the spatula and sighed helplessly.

"Erm, do you have something to tell me?"

What exactly do you want to say? Why have you come to my place for ten consecutive days? I'm really curious.

Little Auze Jr. scratched his head and hesitated for a while. Then, he finally organized his thoughts and spoke.

"Leah, do you want to sit on my shoulder?"

He gestured to his shoulder. The ten-meter-tall man, the famous Great Pirate in the New World, was so shy that he looked like a child. "You seemed to like it a lot at that time?"

"… …"

I was really shocked by the innocence of this group of pirates.

What kind of brotherly image did The Whitebeard Pirates have?!

I let out a deep, deep sigh as I looked at Oz in front of me with his hands and feet tied.

"Okay."

I opened my arms and smiled at the giant. "Then, I'll have to trouble you, Captain Auze!"

"Okay!"

Little Auze Jr.'s expression brightened visibly. He smiled and put me on his shoulder. Then, he walked out with big strides.

It seemed that he was going to take a good stroll around the area. He ignored his subordinates' horrified "Captain Auze?!"

I hugged Auze's neck tightly on his shoulder. I squinted my eyes as the wind blew against my face.

… … …

That day, Auze didn't let me go back to the Fourth Division until night time. When I got off the ground, I couldn't help but shake a little. I grabbed the railing and felt that it felt good to be on the ground.

After this magical experience, I came to two conclusions.

1. It was really hot at a high place. No wonder Ace wanted to weave a bamboo hat for Auze. He was really too close to the sun.

2. Auze, really, too, high!

I didn't even dare to look down when I was sitting on his shoulder!

I thought that was the end.

But it wasn't.

The next day, Marco appeared at my door and asked me a question with a smile.

"Do you want to fly in the sky?"

… So, what are you guys competing for in a strange place?!

Are you guys high school boys?!!!

Of course, I couldn't refuse such a tempting request.

After all, isn't it a girl's dream to fly in the sky on the back of a bird?!

Then I heard QB singing in my head, "I want to fly even higher ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~" all the way.
