The days when I wanted to be a human being

Zhou Ling was thinking about what to say so that Roger would not misunderstand, so she did not notice that Roger was stunned after hearing his words.

Roger also stopped chewing the bread he had not yet swallowed.

The smile on his face disappeared and he looked very serious, as if he remembered something very serious.

"Goo!"

After swallowing the unchewed bread in his mouth with difficulty, he turned his head slowly towards the box on the deck, the box that he had forgotten for a whole night.

His face turned serious and he walked slowly towards the box with heavy steps.

"Huh? What's wrong?"

Zhou Ling came back to her senses after hearing Roger's heavy footsteps. She was still wondering if Roger would misunderstand that she was planning something bad with the things he had snatched back.

Looking at Roger with a serious face, Zhou Ling was wondering what was in the box.

At this time, voices were heard from the cabin.

"I don't know what was in the box the captain brought back yesterday, but he could endure it all night."

"If I were to guess, there must be some powerful devil fruit in there, and the captain will definitely sell it privately for a good price later."

"Stop talking, hurry up, the captain got up so early today, he must have secretly opened the box!"

The voices were getting closer and closer until they reached the deck.

"Hey! Who are you!?" Duolingo, who was flying in the front, exclaimed as he looked at the strange woman standing on the deck.

Zhou Ling had anticipated this situation, and meowed naturally, "Meow~"

"Meow!"

Duolingo couldn't help but meow, then he reacted quickly and looked at Zhou Ling in disbelief, "Cat... Cat brother!"

"What are you meowing for? It's so early in the morning..."

"Eh!?" Peterm, who followed Duolingo to the deck, walked behind Duolingo with a sniper rifle on his back. He followed Duolingo's gaze and saw Zhou Ling, and also exclaimed.

"What the hell are you guys arguing about so early in the morning? It's rare that I have nothing to do today... Hey!!!"

The voice of the Eye Dragon appeared above the deck.

It was obvious that Yanlong was also surprised by the strange woman who appeared on the deck.

"Aren't you keeping watch up there, Yanlong?" Duolingo looked up at Yanlong who was climbing down the rope and asked in confusion.

"Before daybreak, Captain Roger came out and told me he would take my place, and I went to bed."

Yanlong smoothed his hair and looked at Zhou Ling, "Are you Brother Cat?"

"Of course, didn't you see the armor next to it?" Zhou Ling pointed at the Flame Dragon Armor standing not far away and looking at the sea.

Several people turned their heads and looked at the Flame Dragon Armor, only to see the Flame Dragon Armor waving at them.

Then they all looked at Zhou Ling at the same time, pointed their fingers at her, and stammered, "You...you..."

"Well, let's see what's wrong with the captain."

Rayleigh, who had been standing behind the crowd without saying anything, spoke at this time. As soon as he came out, he found that something was wrong with Roger. Roger had never shown such a serious expression.

The smile that never disappeared no matter how difficult the situation was, strangely disappeared today.

Everyone walked towards Roger.

"Captain, what happened?"

"Why are you so unhappy today?"

"Captain, please laugh! If you don't laugh, I'll be scared."

"Okay, stop joking, things might be a little bad." Jabba said, squeezing out of the crowd and walking to Roger's side.

He put one hand on Roger's shoulder and pushed up his sunglasses with the other hand, smiling, "Roger, you haven't rested all night and you are allergic to it. Use your observation Haki to sense it."

After hearing Jabba's words, Roger seemed to suddenly wake up.

He supported his chin with one hand and put on the straw hat tied behind his head with the other hand. After a while, a smile appeared on his face again.

"Huh." Roger smiled with relief, as if a heavy burden had been lifted from his heart. "Fortunately, fortunately, everything is fine."

"Captain, did you get back any treasure?" Duolingo asked at this time. Of course, this was also what most people standing on the deck wanted to ask.

But Zhou Ling was not included. Now Zhou Ling was holding a pancake and watching the fun at the back of the crowd.

She didn't want to know what Roger had snatched back at all. After all, she was now on someone else's territory, so it was better to keep a low profile.

She was able to have the captain's room to herself yesterday because she knew Roger would do so in recognition of all the help she had given him.

If she continues to occupy it shamelessly, Roger, the future Pirate King, may not say anything, but the same may not be true for her crew members.

After taking a sip of water, Zhou Ling stopped paying attention to the situation of Roger and his group. She turned and looked at the calm sea.

At this time, the Or Jackson had already left the Valley of Gods after a night of sailing. Although the sea was calm now, Zhou Ling knew that this was only the calm before the storm.

Anyone who has watched One Piece knows that the affairs of the Celestial Dragons are not small. Judging from what happened on the Island of Gods yesterday, it won’t be long before the sea becomes very lively. She should find a quiet place to stay as soon as possible.

Although he really wanted to collect a bunch of devil fruits directly on the sea and integrate them all into the character card, Zhou Ling understood one thing: biting off more than he could chew.

Doing so would not only be counterproductive, but whether one could collect devil fruits would be another matter.

Just as he was thinking about it, a group of people behind Roger suddenly shouted.

Zhou Ling suppressed her curiosity and didn't use her mental power to probe.

But her ears couldn't help but eavesdrop on their conversation, but the content made Zhou Ling realize that something unexpected seemed to have happened.

"Captain, is this the treasure you stole?"

"Oh my goodness, Captain, when did your hobby change? How come I didn't know?"

"Hahahaha, I can't take it anymore. I'm dying of laughter."

Roger listened to the crew's laughter and looked at the box calmly.

At this time, the box that Zhou Ling could not put into the armor space had been opened.

A child who seemed to be just one year old was lying inside and sleeping.

At this time, Roger whispered, "Quiet."

The crew members behind him also fell silent.

They were afraid of waking up the sleeping child, so they spoke in low voices.

"What do you think happened to the captain? How did he snatch a cub back?"

"What should we do? There is not much food left on the boat."

"No, the captain forgot the child in the box all night, and it's strange that he can still sleep."

"Let's go quickly. Let the captain handle this matter."

As Duolingo said this, he signaled Yanlong to run away quickly. They were not good at taking care of children. If the child woke up at this time, he would definitely make a fuss, and they did not know how to coax children.

It would be fine if they were asked to fight or something, but it is absolutely impossible to ask them to take care of children.

Yanlong took a look at Roger and Jabba who were standing there thinking, and immediately decided that it would be better to stay away from here.

He looked at the people behind him and found that they had retreated several steps without realizing it. Yanlong couldn't help but give them a thumbs up.

He slowly lifted his feet and moved back, afraid of making any noise that would wake up the child and Roger who was in deep thought.
