Pirate: When I Become Kuina

On the way home.

After several hours of heavy rain, Guina couldn't stop trembling all over, obviously she had caught a cold.

She hugged her arms with bloodless hands, trying to prevent heat loss as much as possible.

In this world full of water, the Slippery Fruit has lost its function. Even if it is kept open, rain will continue to fall.

Her consciousness was a little blurry, so Guina shook her head and tried to wake herself up.

Next to him, Ace's physical condition was much better, but now he was not much better, and he was shivering from the cold.

He wanted to give Guina warmth, but he could only think about it. Several attempts were rejected.

Halfway there, there seemed to be fire ahead.

Two figures who had been waiting for a long time rushed over quickly.

Kuina didn't hear what they were saying, she only knew that Nami kept talking and someone put a dry coat on her shoulders.

The rain has stopped?

Guina looked up and saw an umbrella above her head.

"You're here." Guina said.

Zoro's face was full of distress, he bent down and said: "Stop talking, I will carry you back."

Guina's lips were bloodless and trembling. She refused: "You shouldn't come either."

"Go back and talk."

Guina shook her head slightly, stretched out her shaking hands and pushed the umbrella aside.

"Please stop making a mess of my life."

After saying that, Kuina continued to walk back in the rain, and Zoro followed her again, but was finally persuaded to retreat by her cold eyes.

Zoro looked back at Ace and punched him hard on the side of the face. Ace staggered back two steps and then fell to the muddy ground.

"Ace... Zoro, what are you doing!" Nami stopped Zoro from letting him pass.

Zoro pushed Nami away and pulled Ace, who was covered in mud, from the ground, "What did you do to her!"

"Zoron, let go, now is not the time to fight." Nami pried Zoro's hand hard, and when she found that it couldn't be pried open, she slapped it hard.

"What happened between me and her has nothing to do with you." Ace replied.

Zoro punched Ace twice hard on his hateful face.

Blood flowed from the corner of Ace's mouth, which was quickly diluted by the heavy rain until it disappeared. He shook his head, looked at Zoro and said: "You haven't used fists before, I will teach you."

Ace suddenly exploded and punched out hard, causing Zoro to stumble and almost lose his balance.

Nami stepped forward and pulled Zoro who was about to fight back, and said urgently: "Stop fighting, Kuina is important."

Zoro looked back at Kuina who was walking away, grabbed the torch from Nami's hand, picked up the umbrella and followed quickly, without even giving himself time to say harsh words.

Nami quickly supported the shaky Ace and said: "Go back first, I will carry you."

"There's no need to be like this. I'm not that weak yet. Don't worry about Nami." Ace smiled and wriggled his tongue in his mouth, spitting out a large mouthful of blood.

In the distance, Sauron had just arrived when a figure he had never imagined appeared in front of him.

"master!"

Shigetsuki Koushiro held up his umbrella and looked at Kuina quietly.

"Father, can I carry you back, Guina?"

"Ah."

Shigetsuki Koushiro squatted down and said, "I haven't carried you on my back for a long time. I don't know if I can still carry this old bone. Come up."

Kuina lay on Shigetsuki Koushiro's broad back and wrapped her arms around his neck.

Shigetsuki Koushiro stood up and said as he walked: "Zoro, bring Kuina's guests back and don't let them get wet in the rain outside."

"But…"

Shigetsuki Koushiro turned around and said calmly: "That's Kuina's business. Zoro, you have to be careful."

"Yes master."

……

Guina soaked comfortably in the tub.

Next to it is a bowl of hot ginger soup.

Nami put a hot towel on Kuina's upturned forehead. This moment reminded her of five years ago.

They had just met at that time.

After taking a bath, Guina felt much better. After returning to the room, she lay quietly on the bed, listening to the wind and rain outside.

The candlelight was still swaying, reflecting the shadows left and right.

"Guina?"

"Ah."

"Are you feeling better?"

"Ah."

"What on earth did you say?"

"It's nothing, but from now on, Ace and I are no longer partners."

Nami's pupils shrank, and the distressed "dong dong dong" sound kept ringing, getting faster and faster.

"He...he treats you..."

For several hours, what words can be said for several hours? Nami's face became more and more gloomy, and she squeezed out two words through her teeth.

"Bastard!"

Kuina glanced at Nami and said calmly: "Don't think nonsense, I just don't want these messy things to happen again."

"Is it really my imagination, Guina?"

"Ah."

"Scared me to death." Nami breathed a huge sigh of relief.

"Tomorrow you go take Ace out to sea." Kuina ordered.

"tomorrow?"

"tomorrow."

Nami was surprised: "So urgent?"

"I understand that you and Ace have a good relationship, but if you keep ignoring my feelings, even if you are Nami, we will never meet again."

Kuina's voice was very calm, as if she was explaining what to eat tomorrow.

"Gu...Yina..."

No matter how plain words are, they can inspire enlightenment. Nami was instantly enlightened by the words.

It seemed that he had really forgotten Kuina's feelings.

Typical bad deeds with good intentions.

Nami's eyes were slightly red and she said apologetically: "I understand."

"It's ok."

Kuina is not angry with Nami, nor does she want to be angry with Nami. No one wants to get to that day.

"Kuina, I will board the ship and leave with Ace tomorrow."

Guina said in surprise: "You want to leave?"

"Yes." Nami nodded and said, "I want to explain your attitude to Ace clearly. He is stubborn. I'm afraid I won't be able to explain clearly for a while."

"Can you handle it?"

"Don't worry, Ace can listen to what I said."

Guina was noncommittal and replied: "There are still three years left, and your Pele is still more than half."

Nami nodded, a flash of confidence in her eyes.

"I know. Now I am familiar with most of the sea areas and know many pirate groups very well. I will be confident enough to complete the mission in three years. Don't worry, Kuina."

Guina nodded and said, "I thought you would beg me to increase the time."

"Is it okay?" Nami said in surprise.

"No."

"Why don't you say no?" Nami pouted with an unhappy look on her face.

Suddenly, Nami asked: "Ace has gone to sea, what should Sauron do?"

Guina thought for a moment and said: "He will be 17 next year and it is time to go to sea."

"how about you?"

"Of course I'm staying at the Ishin Dojo, but I don't want to go anywhere now."

Nami nodded and said, "I understand, that kind of life is quite good, and it suits your quiet temperament very well."

"Look up." Guina raised her arm and said.

Nami raised her head and fell asleep in Kuina's arms again.

Kuina hugged Nami into her arms, lowered her head and gently smelled the fragrance of her hair.

"Does it smell good?" Nami asked.

"The smell of a woman."
