Pirates: Trainer on the Straw Hat Ship.

Chapter 129 Lovely Responsibility
Ship Elf! ?

Upon hearing Meili's self-introduction, everyone was suddenly stunned, and they all showed confused and confused expressions.

Robin, who only had knowledge reserves, frowned and started to explain:

"Ship Elf? Isn't that a legendary creature?"

"You know what, Robin?"

Nami, who was already sleeping with Robin, immediately asked curiously.

"Hmm..." Robin nodded slightly, a look of surprise gradually blooming in his eyes.

Although she had indeed seen relevant information in books, she just regarded it as a legend passed down orally among sailors.

Unexpectedly, she would be qualified to see it with her own eyes today!

Robin immediately explained to everyone:

"Legend has it that if a ship receives long-term care and love from its crew, a special creature will be born."

"Because of the reason for its birth, it is also called the Ship Elf."

"But it was introduced in the books I saw..."

"Generally, ship elves will only appear in heavy fog or special crisis weather, either to warn the crew or to help the crew overcome difficulties."

"So ships with ship elves will always arrive at their destination safely."

"only……"

Robin looked at Mellie curiously.

Although from the appearance point of view, Merry is indeed very similar to the ship elf described in the book, her behavior makes Robin feel extremely strange.

"Hee hee~"

As if she had guessed Robin's thoughts, Merry suddenly showed an odd smile.

"It's nothing but oh~"

Little Meili opened her arms, and a dark shadow ball suddenly condensed in her hand, and then she dug hard towards the sea.

The shadow ball filled with ghostly energy flashed a strange flash in the air and landed in the sea, which had finally returned to calm.

boom!
As a deafening sound rang out, the weird shadow ball suddenly exploded, filling the entire sea with weird ghost energy.

After doing this, Little Meili smiled beautifully and explained to Robin and everyone:

"Now, like everyone else, I have entered the Pokémon world!"

"With Chihong's help, I'm very strong now!"

Although she was only level 10, Meili was extremely confident.

After all, in this world of pirates with a majority of general types, Meili, as a ghost type, has a unique advantage.

"Another!?" Smoker, who was behind the crowd, suddenly felt his heart tightening, as if he had been stabbed by a sharp arrow.

Seeing that Merry turned into a red Pokémon like everyone else and gained magical abilities...

Smoker felt that heavy snow suddenly fell above his head.

Snowflakes are falling and the north wind is blowing~
A sad tune that could only be sung to defeated dogs suddenly sounded in Smoker's ears.

He raised his head in astonishment, and then said in surprise:
"It's snowing~"

After hearing this, everyone on the deck also raised their heads and said with different expressions:

"Is it really...snowing?"

……

……

About half an hour later.

Luffy and Zoro finally woke up and walked out of the cabin one after another.

"Sanji, is the food ready? I'm so hungry!"

Luffy, who had just gotten up, didn't have time to fully open his eyes, but he was already urging the only cook on the ship.

But as soon as he took a step out of the hatch, a cold breath suddenly swept through Luffy's body, causing him to wake up instantly.

"Wow!!! It's snowing!?"

Looking at the thick layer of snow piled up on the deck of the Merry, Luffy, who was only wearing a short-sleeved shirt, even forgot about the cold, jumped up with long strides, and then plunged into the snow.

"Hey! Luffy!"

Usopp, who was pushing tools to clear the snow on the deck, frowned when he saw Luffy collapsing the snow pile he had finally accumulated.

"You guy, it's okay if you don't help, why are you just causing trouble for others!"

"Whee!"

Luffy, who was lying in the snow, suddenly raised his head, but raised his hand and threw a snowball into Usopp's face.

"Bastard Luffy!"

Usopp, who had been busy all night and had to make snow shoveling tools, was furious.

He threw down the snow shovel in his hand, quickly formed a snowball with the most nimble fingers of the Straw Hats, and started to fight back at Luffy.

"Hey! You two!?"

Sanji, who was holding a cigarette in his mouth, turned slightly to the side and suddenly avoided the "stray bullet" attack.

But before he could raise his head, another snowball suddenly flew over and hit him squarely in the face.

呲——

The lit cigarette was instantly extinguished by the cold snow water.

The next moment, a hot breath suddenly rose up from Sanji's body, causing the white snow around him to immediately turn into boiling water and evaporate into the air.

Nothing compared to snow clearing tools, they are easy to use and don’t need too much!

"You two bastards!!!"

Sanji was unable to accumulate snowballs because his angry body was too hot.

But he is not helpless!

I saw him raising his legs high, and then suddenly waved hard in the direction of Luffy and Usopp.

All of a sudden!
A hot wind suddenly blew up, lifting most of the white snow on the deck and rushing towards Luffy and Usopp.

Under the hot breath, the white snow quickly turned into a sheet of snow water, pouring on the two of them with a pop.

A gust of cold wind hit, and the two of them were frozen into two lifelike ice sculptures.

Sanji calmly lit a cigarette, and with the rising smoke, he slowly turned around and exhaled:
"This is art!"

Naturally, a thin layer of ice cannot control the powerful Luffy.

Soon he broke free from the ice.

Usopp on the side was not trapped for long.

The two people who broke free immediately began to aim their fire at Sanji.

However, compared to Usopp, who is always on target, perhaps the cold temperature has frozen Luffy's rubber body and affected his accuracy, causing every snowball he hits to be almost always wrong.

Soon, Smoker, who was shoveling snow in various corners of the Mellie, and Zoro, who had also just gotten up, were hit by the dancing snowballs.

On the deck of the Mellie, a war without gunpowder officially began.

At the same time, on the second floor of the Meili.

Nami, Vivi, and Robin, who had already changed into a set of thick cotton-padded jackets, were sitting on a round table drinking hot tea, quietly watching the boys playing below.

Seeing this scene, Nami immediately shook her head gently:

"Hey~ When will these boys make some progress?"

"Hehehe~"

"I think it's quite interesting for them to do this."

Seeing the cheerful atmosphere on the Merry, Robin took off his disguise for a rare moment and laughed from the bottom of his heart.

Maybe it was what little Meili said just now that touched her.

At this moment, Robin actually wanted to join such a group of happy guys.

Unfortunately……

Whether it is her identity as the son of the devil or Crocodile's job, it is impossible for her to let go of the past easily and fully join the Straw Hat crew. "Speaking of which..."

Weiwei put down the black tea in her hand and suddenly asked curiously:

"I haven't seen Meili since just now..."

"Luffy and Zoro have woken up, and Usopp is back too. Won't she meet them?"

"Ah, by the way..."

Nami, who knew the truth, immediately raised her lips and said:
"Meili said she wanted to give Luffy and the others a surprise, so she told us not to tell anything about her yet."

"Haha... isn't it said that the ship spirit is made up of the emotions of the crew?"

"Her hidden dark and playful character is clearly from Chihong!"

"Red?" Weiwei tilted her head and looked puzzled.

But Nami had a mysterious smile on her face.

"Do you think Chihong became the vice-captain of this ship solely because of his trainer's ability!?"

"Although that guy always looks steady and mature, he actually has more clever ideas than all of us put together!!!"

"Oh, is it so!?"

"I never expected that I would have such a high opinion of you, Nami!"

At this moment, a voice with a sinister tone suddenly sounded above Nami's head.

Nami was shocked in her heart: "Scared!"

She quickly raised her head and looked in the direction of the sound.

Immediately, he saw the crimson who stepped on the thunder and lightning fall from the sky and landed directly next to Nami, looking at her with funny eyes.

"Hahaha……"

Nami laughed twice, then immediately stood up, pointed to her chair and said:
"Mr. Vice Captain, I have heated the chair for you. You can sit down at any time."

"Ha~!" Chihong chuckled with a slightly raised face.

But he didn't choose to sit on the chair that still had Nami's body fragrance left on it.

Instead, he reminded Nami:
"Now is not the time to sit back and drink tea."

"Get ready quickly, Nami."

"I was in the air just now, but I saw an island right in front of our route!"

……

……

Cigu Island is a winter island located in the first half of the Great Route, which is in a climate of ice and snow all year round.

Because the shape of the peak on the island resembles a magnetic drum, it is called "Magnetic Drum Island".

Originally, this was a major medical country that civilized the entire world with medical care!

Countless dignitaries in the kingdom respect Drum Island in order to be able to borrow doctors with superb medical skills.

It is precisely because of this that relying on the world's top medical level, Ciggu Island does not have the problem of lack of resources even though it is a winter island where it is difficult to produce food.

However, all this changed dramatically after Wapol came to power in the Drum Kingdom!
In order to better safeguard one's own rule and make the citizens respect themselves more...

Wapol ordered all the doctors in the country to be arrested, and finally only 20 doctors with the most skillful medical skills were left behind, making them his royal physicians.

And they were given the title: [Doctor 20]!
As for other citizens, if they want to see a doctor, they must accept conditions that can bankrupt them...

Enter the palace and ask Wapol to allow the doctor 20 to treat them.

Over time, Wapol collected all the wealth that the previous kings of the Drum Kingdom had accumulated for their people.

The life of the people is becoming more and more difficult day by day, but the royal family and dignitaries are singing and drinking every day!
If Blackbeard hadn't suddenly broken into Drum Island and scared away the Wapol regime...

I don’t know what the future of this country will look like.

Because Wapol took the doctor 20 away before leaving, the citizens now no longer even have the chance to spend money on medical treatment.

Of course, there is also such a legend circulating in this country...

Whenever someone in a family suffers from a serious disease, the witch will immediately come!

She then descended from the sky in a sleigh carried by reindeer and took away all the family's wealth.

It will also take away all their diseases.

But what the citizens of the Drum Kingdom don’t know is...

This is not a legend, but a true story that happened to many people.

……

……

"Eh!? Doctor Dori, something seems to have happened at the port!"

On the zipline extending from the highest peak of Cigu Island, the reindeer pulling the sled suddenly turned its head, revealing a small and cute blue nose, and it actually spoke human words.

On the sleigh behind the reindeer, an old woman with an old face but an unexpectedly slender figure subconsciously looked towards the port after hearing this.

Because of the location of this zipline, they could easily see the sea not far away from Cigu Island...

A ship flying the pirate flag is sailing quickly towards the Drum Island.

"It's a pirate!!!"

Bah——! ! !
The running reindeer suddenly stopped, and its four hooves scraped against the zip line, making a screeching sound.

"Asshole Chopper! Do you want to throw me out of here and inherit my medical skills!?"

"Idiot, stop dreaming!!!"

Peng!
Gureva, who was almost thrown out due to inertia, immediately raised her fist and slashed the top of Chopper's head in front of her.

"what!"

Chopper, who was in pain, suddenly screamed and his body returned to that of a normal child.

He turned his head aggrievedly and said with tears in his eyes:
"No, Doctor Dori!"

"It's a pirate... It's a pirate!!!"

Chopper excitedly stretched out his hoof and pointed to the harbor.

At this time, in the distant sea, the pirate ship had slowly approached the port.

The convoy organized by Dalton was holding guns and ammunition, ready to confront the pirate ship.

"They seem to be in trouble!" Gureva said as she took a sip of strong wine.

"Who? That group of pirates?"

Chopper asked, tilting his head in confusion.

"Haha~" Gureva, who had already recognized the Straw Hat Pirate Flag, sneered, as if mocking Chopper's ignorance.

But the next moment, she sat in the sleigh again and said to Chopper:
"Let's go, Chopper!"

"The patients in Hill Town are still waiting for us to treat them as soon as possible!"

"Precious rescue time cannot be wasted at this time!"

"Ah, yes, yes..."

There was a sudden sound, and Chopper immediately transformed back into his reindeer form. After looking curiously at the direction of the port, he immediately started running quickly along the ropeway.

……

……

At the same time, at the port of Cigu Island.

The prepared escorts aimed their guns at the Merry below.

Dalton, standing at the front of the crowd, held a simple loudspeaker and shouted to the front:
"Pirates, you are not welcome here!"

"Please turn the ship around immediately and leave this island!"

　Tomorrow, the computer should be back tomorrow...

　　Although I can’t guarantee it, I will try to write more!
