The days when I wanted to be a human being

The crew members began to sob as they looked at their captain who was still able to laugh.

There were also some tears in the corners of Rayleigh's eyes.

But some people had different reactions at this time.

"Woo woo... I thought that this time Vice Captain Rayleigh could finally become the captain." When Duolingo heard everyone crying, he also pretended to cry.

But his words were a bit laughable.

The crew burst into laughter.

Jabba, who was a little sad, raised his axe and walked towards Duolingo.

When Duolingo saw Jabba's action, he stopped pretending to cry and spread his wings behind him and flew up.

"Dolingo, don't run!" Jabba shouted when he saw Duolingo flying up.

"Hahaha!"

"You ruined the atmosphere and you're going to be unlucky again today."

For a moment, the sad atmosphere on the deck was replaced by joy.

Zhou Ling, who was in the Flame Dragon Armor, felt a little uncomfortable seeing everyone's emotions change so quickly.

At this time, a hand was placed on the shoulder of Yanlong Armor. Zhou Ling looked back and found it was Roger. "What's the matter?"

Listening to the still emotionless mechanical voice, Roger smiled and said, "So, what do you think of my crew, Cat?"

"Are you still trying to get me to join your pirate group?"

Although Zhou Ling's opinion of Roger and his crew has improved a lot, she still can't look forward to life on the sea.

Not to mention a life that lasts for several years.

She still wanted to just stay in one place, preferably one where she could stay until the end of ten years.

"No, how could Brother Cat think so?"

Roger smiled and walked to the edge of the deck looking in the direction of the Valley of the Gods.

At this time, the attacks from the sky had stopped, and the original Valley of the Gods had disappeared, replaced by a bottomless pit.

The sea water continued to pour in, but it failed to fill the huge pit. Instead, a huge vortex appeared.

Some ships that have not yet moved away are slowly being sucked into the whirlpool.

The Or Jackson beneath their feet was also slowly sliding towards the vortex.

When Zhou Ling saw this, she ignored Roger and said confidently:

"...Mr. Roger, I think I need a room to rest."

She also noticed the fact that the boat was slowly approaching the whirlpool, but she didn't want to help. She was not a babysitter, so why should she rush to do everything?

Roger smiled and said to Jabba, who had come behind him without knowing when, "Jabba, take Brother Cat to rest."

Roger turned around and looked at the crew members standing or lying on the deck, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Not only did they not gain much from this trip, but many people were injured. It was simply unbearable to watch.

But he thought of making a new friend with great potential, and couldn't help but smile happily: "Young men, it's time to get up and work!"

The uninjured crew members already knew their current situation, and after hearing Roger's words, they began to get busy.

"Huh? Captain, we are all injured! How could you be so cruel?" Duolingo lay on the deck, holding his chest.

Seeing that no one paid attention to him, Duolingo stood up and went to help.

Some people went to the cabin below deck to prepare to start rowing, while some crew members began to climb up the mast to reef the sails.

Because the wind is blowing towards the vortex in the sea at this time, the resistance will only be greater if the sails are not retracted.

Roger looked at the busy crew members, and as if he had thought of something, he called Jabba who had already walked out, "Go to the captain's room, Jabba."

"Okay, I see. I've thought of it a long time ago. You don't need to remind me." Jabba pushed his sunglasses and said this. No one knew what he was thinking.

"Brother Mao, please follow me." After saying that, he walked in front of Zhou Ling.

Seeing that Roger and Jabba's attitude towards Zhou Ling had changed, Rayleigh began to have some doubts in his mind.

After all, he noticed the change in Brother Cat's height, which was a little different from before.

"Captain, what happened?" Rayleigh asked Roger.

Roger saw that even with the crew rowing, they could not stop the Or Jackson from approaching the huge whirlpool.

There are still a lot of injured people.

After sighing in my heart, I soon came up with a new idea.

"Let Brother Cat decide for himself." After saying something that puzzled Rayleigh, Roger took off his shirt and handed the straw hat tied around his neck to Rayleigh.

"It seems that I have to swim today."

"Hahaha!"

He jumped straight into the sea from the edge of the deck.

Rayleigh didn't understand what Roger said about Zhou Ling, but after seeing Roger's actions, he also knew what the most important thing now was.

He called Bankuro, gave him Roger's clothes and straw hat, and began to take off his clothes.

"When Jabba comes out, have him come down and help."

Rayleigh knew that it was impossible to rely on just the two of them, so he wanted to "pull" Jabba into the water as well.

After giving the instructions, Rayleigh jumped into the sea without waiting for Bankuro to speak.

Soon the Or Jackson slowly broke free from the vortex, but its speed was still a little slow.

……

"Brother Cat, this is the captain's room. Don't worry, the crew won't come here to disturb you. You can rest assured." After Jabba knew Zhou Ling's true identity, he emphasized that only the captain would come to the captain's room.

"Thank you." Zhou Ling also understood why Jabba said that. The two of them must have seen her true form.

I thought it would be good enough to give her a private cabin, but I didn't expect that she would have the captain's cabin to herself.

This is really a pleasant surprise.

"Well, if you're hungry, Brother Cat, go find someone on deck. We usually stay there if the weather is fine."

"...Jabba...Captain...needs your...help..."

Just then, the two heard the crew's shouts.

"You take a rest first. I'm going to be busy now."

Jabba said and walked away without looking back.

Zhou Ling watched Jabba disappear around the corner before closing the door.

Then he observed the residence of the future Pirate King.

But what I saw were some common things.

Zhou Ling didn't see anything else on the table except a few nautical charts, a few notebooks, and some daily necessities.

There were two windows in the room, one small one through which you could see the sea outside, and the other through which you could see the busy crew on the deck.

At this time, the sky outside was gradually getting darker, and it could be seen that it was almost dark.

Including his previous life, this was Zhou Ling’s first time spending a night at sea.

After using the Drink More Hot Water skill to conjure up a few glasses of water to fill her stomach, she summoned the character Katom and two devil fruits.

She wanted to see what effects these two devil fruits had before deciding how to use them.

I don’t know if Talent 2 can overcome the side effects of the Devil Fruit.
