One Piece's love has your time

"Thank you sister!" A little boy said with a bright smile.

Ann smiled at him tenderly and nodded.Just now, she used the ability of "streaming light" to heal the little boy's injured knee due to an accidental fall.

In other words, the ability "Streamer" is really convenient.Not only is there no scar after the treatment, but the pain is gone!

The little boy jumped off the chair happily, then said to Shanks who was standing next to Ann, "Goodbye, uncle!" and then ran away.

Pfft!" Ann laughed, covering her mouth lightly with one hand, teasing Shanks, "Uncle?Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha……"

Shanks looked at her innocently, "Do I look that old?" His tone was helpless.

Ann stood up, no longer embarrassed to tease him.Pulling his sleeve tentatively, "Shanks, it's so hot today, how about... let's go swimming!" She said, looking at him expectantly.

You know, in the original world, Tang Wan'an's favorite sport was swimming.The cool water eliminates the heat of summer, and the sticky skin is gently wrapped by water.Every time you enter the water, your body and mind will be relaxed.

"Okay, then it's more convenient to be near the boat." Shanks replied with a smile.

When they got back to the boat, Ann went to her room and changed into her bathing suit.So glad I picked up this one-piece navy swimsuit while strolling around this morning.Don't ask me why I don't buy bikinis because... you know what.

Standing on the deck, she stretched her arms, stretched her legs, stepped on the side of the boat, and jumped into the sea.In an instant, the cool sea water wrapped my body, and my pores were relaxed by feeling the cool sea water.The exhaustion of sailing on the bed for many days also disappeared.

"Shanks, come down!" Ann waved to Shanks excitedly.

Shanks stood on the boat, smiled and shook his head at her, "No, the clothes got wet, it's very troublesome."

Ah... I can't see the pectoral muscles anymore... This idea suddenly popped up in my mind, and then I shook my head quickly, "Ah, then I'll swim and play!" Ann didn't wait for Shanks to answer, directly dived, and walked towards the boat to leave the boat. Swim far away.

Exhausted in one breath, then floated up again, already a little far away from the boat, at least Shanks could not be seen from this position.

Suddenly remembered that there is such a terrible creature as sea king in One Piece, and then swam towards Red quickly with some anxiety.

Perhaps because of the panic in my heart, this time when I was still a little away from the boat, I floated up to take a breath, and then started swimming again.

When swimming again, I suddenly heard a sound of entering the water.An looked up at the source of the sound, and saw the familiar red at a glance.

"Hey! Xiang..." Before she finished speaking, the hand she waved out of the sea was grabbed by Shanks, and then he pulled her to his side.

Shanks' behavior made her a little confused.Before he could understand what was going on, he heard a familiar sentence, "Get lost!"

Ann subconsciously looked at Shanks.There was a chilling ferocity in Shanks' eyes, and an undisguised murderous intent exuded from his body! This kind of Shanks was different from usual, making her feel familiar and unfamiliar.

An looked in the direction he was looking, and was stunned at a glance, not knowing how to react.In front of me is a sea king with a strange appearance and a big mouth ready to swallow us!

Ann saw it paused for two seconds, then rolled her eyes, and fell heavily back into the sea.

Because of it, a big wave hits her and Shanks.This big wave is big enough to drown them.

Seeing this, Ann quickly held her breath.When Lang was only one step away from her and Shanks, he suddenly spread aside as if being hit by something.A big wave just disappeared.

An's pupils dilated slightly to see what happened in front of him, and he stared at Shanks in a daze.

Is Shanks using the overlord color domineering? ! No wonder everything that happened felt so familiar.It turns out that what happened when Shanks rescued Luffy is so similar to what happened now! Does Shanks’ willingness to save her mean that he has truly regarded her as his partner? !

"Do you have any self-knowledge?!" The person in front of her shouted at her, and An stared at him in a daze. The waves just now were scattered by his domineering look, right?It is indeed the most domineering person in One Piece, and the only person who can cause damage to real objects! Really powerful... But why does such a powerful person show such...fearful eyes? !

"Speak!" Seeing that Ann didn't respond, Shanks yelled at her in a gaffe.

An finally came back to his senses, watching him frowning slightly.

If what happened just now is the same as when Shanks rescued Luffy back then, wouldn't I ruin Shanks' future and the entire red-haired pirates? !

Finally realizing the seriousness of the matter, she lowered her head guiltily, "I'm sorry, Shanks." Sincerely and remorsefully.

He lowered his head because of guilt, and didn't know what Shanks's expression was at this time.He was silent for a moment, then sighed heavily.

"Okay, let's go back to the boat." As he said that, he let go of her hand, swam forward, and looked back at her. Ann understood what he meant, and quickly followed.

Back on the boat, Anne went into the bathroom to wash off the salt particles that had stuck to his body due to the evaporation of sea water.

Sure enough, I still have to thank Shanks later... She was thinking while washing her hair.

In fact, it didn't scare her just now.Because Shanks appeared so timely, even she herself didn't realize when there was an extra sea king.When Ann found out, it had already passed out.

As An recalled, the movements of her hands suddenly stopped.Shanks' expression at that time... She bit her lower lip, not at all thinking that was the reason why Shanks might like her.No matter how stupid she was, it was impossible for her not to notice that Shanks was changing the subject when she confessed to him yesterday.

But if Shanks didn't have feelings for her, why would he wash her hair and show that expression? !

Shaking his head in confusion.Anyway, An always believes that the biggest illusion in the world is that you like me.If you don't want to hurt yourself, it's better to stick to this idea.If I could feel Shanks take a step towards me, then I would be willing to muster up the courage again and walk the remaining 99 steps towards him.

After turning off the water, Ann packed herself up and went out to find Shanks.

Coincidentally, on the way to the captain's cabin, I ran into Shanks.

At this time Shanks has changed into another white shirt and floral trousers.As always, mature and domineering.

"Shanks, thank you for saving me." She stepped forward and walked in front of Shanks, after all, polite words still have to be said~

"It's okay. By the way, you will learn swordsmanship with me from tomorrow." Shanks raised the corner of his mouth.What he said was thrown at Ann like a bomb.

"What?" She widened her eyes.Pointing to himself, pointing to Shanks, and finally choked out, "Why?"

"Because you are too weak, you don't even have the ability to protect yourself." The words exposed Ann's old background nakedly, and Shanks seemed in a very good mood.

Ann looked at him a little aggrieved, and said dissatisfiedly, "Didn't you say that I can rely on you?" It's not that I'm lazy, and it's not that I want to hide behind Shanks and the entire red-haired pirates, but I feel disgusted with war and Fighting, resenting swordsmanship.

What the Medical University taught Tang Wanan was to save lives and heal the wounded. This belief has been deeply rooted in her bone marrow, but she can't do it if she is asked to learn swordsmanship to hurt others.Because she hates blood, hates death, very much.

"But I can't stay by your side all the time, can't I? What if there is danger at that time?" Shanks explained patiently, persuading Ann who was full of rejection.

"Self-defense is not about hurting others." Shanks added as if he had seen through An's inner thoughts.

I was struggling.In this pirate world where power is paramount, is it really necessary to learn to use strength to protect oneself?Recalling all kinds of things in the anime, Luffy, as the protagonist, was separated from his companions due to lack of strength; he also lost his favorite brother because of lack of strength; and he was unable to protect his important people because of lack of strength.

And Ace, who she cared most about, didn't have a sudden heartache because of lack of strength.As if being beaten with a fist, there was severe pain and shortness of breath.what happened……

"Ann!" Sensing that something was wrong with her, Shanks reached out to support Ann.

"What's wrong?" Shanks looked worriedly at Ann, who was pale.

"It's okay." She smiled at him comfortingly, then straightened up.

Shanks let go of her, and said comfortingly, "Go back to the room and rest for a while." Then he turned his head and walked away.

The wet and salty sea breeze is mixed with the aftermath of the setting sun.The sea level is slightly rippling with orange light.Ann glanced at Shanks, his dazzling red hair was coated with a soft halo, making her feel warm and comfortable.An couldn't help blurting out, "Tomorrow I will learn how to sword from you."

At this time, the sun is tangent to the distant sea level.Shanks stopped, chuckled, "Okay."

The author has something to say: When will Shanks express his emotions?don't worry don't worry~
