"Ugh..." Beibo stood at the stern of the ship and looked towards the rear. The elephant master's huge body was gradually disappearing into the darkness.
Luo closed his eyes and leaned against the cabin not far away, while Xia Qi and Peijin accompanied Luo, quietly waiting for their departing companions to return.
Bebo was startled when he turned around, and immediately ran towards him: "Captain!"
"Is the farewell over?" Luo asked calmly.
"Hi!" Bebo calmed down his slightly sad mood.
"Then go back to the cabin and rest. It's getting late." Luo left the bulkhead he was leaning on and took the lead.
Xia Qi scratched his cheek and said: "The captain's character is really not frank~"
"Yes." Peijin nodded immediately.
"You two, if you don't go back to the cabin, you can spend the night on the deck!"
"Come here!"
The two quickly followed.
"I didn't expect Bepo to have an older brother."
Bebo immediately retorted: "I didn't pop out of a stone. Isn't it strange to have relatives?"
"What was the last thing you said to your brother?"
"The captain asked me to tell Brother Pedro and Brother Jiebo about it." Bebo blurted out, and then realized: "No, Admiral Eric didn't ask me to explain to you."
"How stingy~"
"I'm going to tell Admiral Eric: Xia Qi said he was stingy!" Bebo pretended to tell the truth, but Xia Qi was shocked.
"Don't, don't! I was wrong!" Xia Qi begged for mercy: "I apologize. What do you want? I'll buy it for you!"
"Well..." Bebo thought carefully and said, "You don't need to spend any money. You just need to introduce me to a female bear."
"How do I know a female bear?!"
"I go……"
Xia Qi said without thinking: "What kind of female bear do you want?"
"Hahaha" laughter echoed among the companions' jokes, and the farce between the two came to an end.
Luo asked: "How do you feel about meeting your biological brother?"
"I'm very happy!" Then Bebo lowered his head: "Although I'm sad to say goodbye, I want to become a brave man on the sea!"
Pei Jin joked: "Just because of your fragile character?"
"I am so sorry."
"So don't apologize casually!"
"Are you relatives..." Luo raised his head and recalled his parents, little sister Lamy, his savior Mr. Corazon, the stories that happened when he met his companions, and finally Eric's help...
The corners of his mouth raised in a rare move.
Bebo was stunned when he saw it, and said with round eyes, "Ah, the captain smiled."
"boom!"
Luo closed the door tightly and heard from inside: "Sleep."
The three of them were left looking at each other and laughing silently.
The next day, morning.
A "bang bang" knock on the door broke the silence in the corridor.
Eric knocked on Robin's door: "Robin, are you there?"
"Click" the lock was released and the door was gently opened.
"Didn't you sleep well?" Eric frowned slightly, and Robin's face was almost full of exhaustion.
"Well..." Robin, who was wearing glasses, replied breathlessly: "Yesterday I was reading the text of history without any rest."
"If I had known better, I wouldn't have left the rubbings with you." Eric raised his forehead and said, "There is obviously a lot of time in the day to interpret the historical text."
"I just want to unravel the historical text as soon as possible." Robin explained.
"It's not worth the loss if you tire yourself out." Eric scratched his hair: "I'm sorry, can you come to the conference room and explain your interpretation to everyone?"
"No problem." Robin turned around and took away the notebook: "Let's go."
Only a few people were seated in the conference room, waiting for the arrival of Eric and Robin.
Robin handed the deciphered text to Chiron and Leonardo da Vinci.
"How about it?"
"You can indeed draw a nautical chart based on this." After Chiron finished speaking, he pulled out a nautical chart of the New World.
Da Vinci stretched his neck and scanned the map: "Chiron, do you want to see if the locations we arrived at are consistent?"
Chiron responded gently: "Of course."
"one two three!"
In Leonardo's slogan, the two point to the same spot: "Here it is!"
The two looked at each other and smiled.
"The answers are consistent~" Leonardo da Vinci marked on the map: "Now there are only three historical texts left."
Robin turned to look at Eric, but hesitated to speak.
"This kind of thing can't be rushed." Eric spread his hands: "I just want to laugh a lot when I see the [Big Secret Treasure]."
"Huh?" Da Vinci asked curiously: "Eric-kun, do you know what the [Great Secret Treasure] is?"
Eric shrugged: "How could I possibly know."
Then he said to Robin: "I know a person who has known about the blank for a hundred years. He is a crew member of the Roger Pirates."
Then he narrowed his eyes: "Do you want to get the answer from his mouth?"
Robin asked emotionally: "Where are the others?"
"..." Eric curled his lips and said in a bad tone: "We will tell you naturally when we arrive at that place."
"Eh?" Robin was stunned immediately.
Eric stood up, pushed Robin's back gently toward the door of the conference room, and urged: "Go back to your room and rest quickly. You have been up all night in order to interpret the historical text, right?"
"Wait..." With slight resistance, Robin shut her out.
"Ara~" Kuang San asked with a smile: "After Robin raised this question, Eric's mood suddenly changed for the worse. Why exactly?"
"Nothing." Eric looked up and stared at the empty ceiling.
Chitong looked at Eric's appearance at this time and said directly: "Although I don't know who Eric is comparing himself to, but..."
"You will always be our captain and our best leader."
"...Thank you." Eric grabbed his hair: "It seems I need to apologize to Robin."
"Hmph, that's really outrageous." Esdeath grabbed Eric's arm and said, "It seems that a thorough warm-up is needed to get rid of the troubles."
"?"
"Let me use training to clear away all your distracting thoughts!"
"Waiting... will destroy the Dauntless!" Eric struggled: "Stop!"
◇
The Dauntless passed through the windless zone where Neptunes were rampant and arrived in the cold and windy North Sea.
The bow of the ship broke through the icy water, and the cold waves rippled around the ship's body. The light blue wake wave left a long trace behind.
The cold north wind blew into her open collar and brushed against her smooth skin. However, she could not feel a hint of coldness at this moment. The cold air could not quench the hot thoughts in her heart.
"Are you careful about catching a cold if you wear such little clothes?" A concerned statement came from behind.
"Huh~" He opened his plump and thick lips and let out a mouthful of white steam. The breath with water vapor drifted backwards along with the sea breeze and dissipated in the air.
"No." The pink head turned back and smiled, leaning seductively on the side of the ship, making a pun: "I have a superhuman physique modified by blood factors, and this coldness cannot move my heart."
The pink dress couldn't hide her curvy figure, and the absolute realm between high-top white stockings and short skirts constantly released a seductive flavor that attracted Eric to peek under her skirt.
Eric stretched out his hand and handed her a woolen coat: "What's the temperature like in my hometown?"
"Thank you." Leijiu took the coat obediently, put it on her body, and reached out to stroke the soft fur on the collar: "I haven't been back to Beihai for a long time, so I feel a little emotional."
"How many years has it been..."
Reiju raised her head and looked forward, her delicate chin and slender neck forming a charming arc.
The scene became quiet, with only scattered snowflakes falling.
"Snapped!"
A snowball hit Eric's head, and fine snow foam exploded above his head, stunning Eric who was looking at the beautiful arc.
"Ha...hahaha" Reijiu on the side was also stunned, but when she saw Eric's embarrassment, she covered her mouth with her hands and started laughing.
Eric touched his head, and the remaining snow foam fell down, and the cold snowflakes melted into ice water in his palm.
"Snow?"
"I'm so sorry, Eric-kun~" a unique high-pitched voice came: "Yoshino was having a snowball fight with the snow made by Yoshino, and accidentally hit you~"
"Hug, sorry." Yoshino, who was wearing a small down jacket, bowed and apologized repeatedly, speaking nervously and incoherently.
"It's okay." Eric waved his hand: "Be safe when playing, be careful of the ropes under your feet, don't get hurt."
"Oh, Mr. Eric is really reasonable." The doll's mouth opened and closed back and forth: "Perona and the others also said that Mr. Eric is very scary."
"Hey!" Eric seemed to hear Perona's scream, and there were pink twin ponytails floating past the edge of his field of vision.
"Oh?" Eric raised his eyebrows and pretended not to notice: "What else did they say about me?"
"Hmm~" the doll replied after thinking carefully: "You can't tell Eric the content of the conversation between the girls."
"ha……"
'The heavy breathing can be heard from far away, Perona. '
“Have you met new friends with the same interests?”
"Yes!" Yoshino nodded heavily: "Thanks to Eric-kun for your help, otherwise it would have been just me and Yoshino..."
"Yoshino will always be by Yoshino's side, but it would be better to have a few more people accompany Yoshino."
"Yoshina..."
As they passed the corner, they were pulled in by Perona and Porchi.
"Don't say unnecessary words!" Perona lowered her voice: "You almost sold me!"
"Ahaha..." Wendy smiled brightly: "As I said, Brother Eric won't get angry so easily."
"I hate it~" Polqi caressed the side of her face: "Although the captain felt scary when we first met, after spending more time together, I will admire the captain..."
"Hehehehe~" The arrogant Perona crossed her shoulders: "He must have an ulterior motive for us."
"Purpose? Then, what is that?" Yoshino looked confused.
"Yoshino, don't you know this?" The rabbit doll's movements were exaggerated, and its short arms moved in a circle: "Perona means: Eric-kun wants to..."
"Let me tell you," Kuina interrupted, "Can we still have a snowball fight?"
Kuina moved her hands across the deck, scraping away the layers that fell on it, leaving two bare traces. She collected the snow between her palms, squeezed her hands together, and made a snowball: "But you guys Call me out."
"That's right." Yoshina knocked her round head: "I forgot that we were still having a snowball fight."
"This is not a game." Guina prepared the ammunition carefully: "I will not lose to you in this snowball fight."
"Besides..." Guina glanced at Perona: "Eric has a [Heart Network]."
"!" Perona's body suddenly trembled.
Guina continued, "He can definitely hear what we just said..."
"Our Captain Eric is wise and powerful, strategizing thousands of miles away, handsome, charming and suave. Everyone knows his name..." (A thousand words are omitted here)
After saying a series of words of praise, Perona held her knees and gasped, her suffocated lungs constantly expanding and contracting, trying desperately to absorb the oxygen in the air, and streams of white steam emerged from her mouth.
"Hahaha, Miss Perona's eloquence is really amazing." After the doll praised it, Yoshino also stretched out her right hand and made a "great" gesture.
"Of course!" The panting Perona stood up straight with her hands on her hips, a breath of complacency wafting out of her thick clothes.
"Then, this snowball fight begins!"
A coin rolled in the air and fell to the ground with a clang. There was a pile of kneaded snowballs at Guina's feet.
"Eh?"
"This battle is our victory!" After Kuina finished speaking, she said to Wendy, "Wendy, let's go."
"Okay!" Wendy also grabbed the snowballs full of fighting spirit and threw them at Perona.
"Wait, wait a minute, ah...it hurts so much!" Perona held her head and ran away, with flying snowballs and splashing snow foam behind her.
Reiju looked at this scene with a smile.
"Won't you get involved?" Eric suggested: "It's just right for three on three."
"Me?" Leijiu lowered her eyes: "Snowball fights are not suitable for me. I might be more suitable..."
The voice lowered and Reiju did not continue speaking, but Eric knew what she meant.
"what are you talking about?"
"Eh?" Reijiu raised her head and looked into Eric's eyes, his pupils were burning with fire.
"Dwelling on past experiences is not what we should be doing."
Eric walked to the bow of the ship and stretched his arms: "The world I'm looking at is right in front of me right now."
"Even if my life ends in the next second, I will still face the future!"
"...These words are so shameful to say." Reijiu whispered.
"..." Eric's heart was stabbed several times.
Reiju stood next to him, white waves rolling in front of the bow, and the endless blue sky in front of him.
"The sky here... is so vast!"
Then he turned around and walked towards the five people who were having a snowball fight, and said with a smile: "I want to participate too, is that okay?"
Wendy said happily: "Welcome, Sister Reijiu!"
"Hmph, I wish I could." Guina showed a competitive expression: "This bean sprout is too weak, it would be interesting to fight you."
"Who is Bean Sprout?!" Perona pulled her body out from the snowdrift.
"Of course it's the idiot who got buried in the snow."
"This is a sneak attack, this is cheating!" Perona waved her arms dissatisfied.
"The snowball fight is obviously going on, but there is no talk of a truce in the middle." After Guina finished speaking, another snowball fell on Perona's head.
"Yoshino, you are with us now!"
"Okay, okay!" Yoshino hurried to Wendy's side.
"continue!"
The three-on-three snowball fight begins again.
