Hongo, save me!

As time went by, Uta and Merry's swordsmanship...

Ahem...the two little guys can barely swing the sword a few times now, and they still don't have any sword skills to speak of.

However, Meli performed very well in shooting.

Although the little octopus is only the size of a football and a small ball of flesh, it is very strong.

Beckmann's flintlock rifle was a bit too long for Merry to control, but Laqiru's pistol was no problem for him.

In addition, Meli had practiced water control for two years, so his shooting accuracy is very good now.

Beckman just explained to Meli how to use guns. Meli learned to shoot very smoothly after trying a few times. But as for swordsmanship... the little octopus still needs to work hard to practice.

"Guys! The storm is coming."

Merry heard Snake's shout and paused in swinging his sword. He looked up at the sky with a confused look on his face.

The sky was cloudless and the sun was shining brightly, with no sign of a storm at all.

Uta also stopped the wooden sword in her hand. She tilted her head and asked curiously, "Sneek, where is Storm?"

"It's almost here."

Shanks and the others had no doubts at all. They ran to their respective positions and had just lowered the sails halfway when large patches of dark clouds suddenly appeared in the distant sky, quickly covering the originally clear sky.

The sky suddenly became gloomy, lightning streaked across the sky, tearing apart the dark clouds, followed by rumbling thunder.

"Wow!" Uta screamed. She didn't look scared, but rather amused. She picked up the wooden sword and slashed at the sky, shouting, "The clouds are quarreling, and the sky is broken by them!"

"Hahahaha~~~" Everyone stood at their respective posts and laughed out loud at Uta's amusement.

"Uta, be careful, don't fall."

"knew."

Snake laughed twice, then quickly regained his serious expression. He continued to give orders loudly: "Attention Punch, the wind has changed, turn hard to left."

"Okay! No problem!" Punch responded loudly and immediately turned the steering wheel.

The strong wind roared in in the blink of an eye, and the waves hit the Redforth fiercely. The ship shook violently under the impact of the huge waves.

The heavy rain poured down with a crash. The dense rain formed clouds of mist, which seriously affected the vision and made the whole world blurry.

"Wow! It's raining so heavily! It seems like the sky is broken." Uta held her head with both hands and staggered towards the cabin.

"Hehe, I like the rain." Merry stayed on the deck and opened his tentacles to embrace the rain.

But the rain was so dense and heavy that it plopped down on his skin, causing his little tentacles to shrink. Merry felt it for a moment, then dejectedly ran towards the cabin, muttering as he ran, "Oh, forget it, such a passionate rain."

"Everyone hold on tight! There's a small tornado ahead!"

"Sister Shati, Uta and Meli, hurry back to the cabin!"

"I got it!" Gulishati turned around and ran into the cabin following the two little guys.

The storm grew more and more violent, mixed with a small tornado, and the sea waves roared and rolled, becoming increasingly turbulent.

The Redvers struggled forward in the storm, like a swaying leaf, and could be swallowed by the strong wind and huge waves at any time.

"Ugh!" A dry retching sound suddenly sounded on the deck.

Wuta had just run halfway when his body staggered and he fell to the deck without warning.

This time the storm was extremely severe, more terrifying than any Uta had experienced before.

She felt as if her head was suddenly hit, and many little stars were flying in her head. Everything in front of her eyes was shaking. She was dizzy, her stomach was churning, and waves of nausea came over her.

"Ugh——" Woohoo~~~ My throat hurts too!

Uta frowned, tears as big as beans rolled down her pale face, and broken sobs were mixed with the sounds of vomiting.

Meli had never encountered such a situation before and was a little at a loss for a moment. It instinctively pounced on Uta, stretched out its tentacles and hugged her tightly, fearing that she would slip again on the shaking deck and hit something and get injured.

Uta lay on the deck and vomited several times. The little food in his stomach was soon vomited out, but the feeling of nausea became even stronger.

Stomach acid kept rising up my throat and I was forced to swallow it, burning my throat with a burning pain.

The area where my sunburn was located felt like someone was poking it with an awl, causing it to throb with pain.

Am I going to die? Uta felt extremely painful, her little face was pale and almost transparent, and her eyes were full of fear and despair.

The little octopus's mind has become blank, with only one thought left: Nothing can happen to Uta!

Its tentacles wrapped around Uta's body, and it cried out in panic, "Help! Uta is in trouble!"

Gulishati hurried forward and picked up the two little ones. As she ran into the cabin, she asked worriedly, "Uta, how do you feel?"

"Aunt Xiati~ I feel so uncomfortable~" Uta's little face wrinkled and his voice was weak.

Meli was so frightened by this sudden change that her face was covered with tears. She leaned her little head on Uta's shoulder and sobbed.

"Wuwuwu...Aunt Shati...Hurry up and save Uta...Wuwuwu..."

"Wuwuwu...Uta, you Bu Yaosi!"

"Don't worry, Meli. Uta will be fine."

While comforting the two little ones, Gulishati quickened her pace and ran into the cabin.

The wind was howling and the rain was pouring down like a waterfall.

Violent waves had already surged onto the deck, and the ship was shaking violently.

Merry's panicked cries were soon drowned out by the wind and rain, but Shanks and the others had excellent hearing and were still heartbroken by the cries.

But the storm was so fierce that they had to tie up the sails as soon as possible, otherwise the sail flags would be torn, which would greatly affect the subsequent voyage.

Everyone was unable to leave their posts for a while and could only shout at the top of their lungs in the storm.

"Is Uta okay?"

"What happened to Uta?"

"Hongo, leave this to me, go check on Uta!"

Hongo nodded, handed the rope to Lachi Lu, and rushed to the cabin.

The cabin was dark, with only a brief glimmer of light when lightning flashed across the sky.

Gulishati hugged Wuta and shouted nervously: "Honxiang, come and see what happened to Wuta all of a sudden."

Hongo walked forward and saw Uta's condition clearly in the brief light. His heart instantly rose to his throat.

how so?

Uta curled up in Gulishati's arms, her hair and clothes were wet by the rain, and she looked particularly disheveled and fragile.

Meli was crying loudly, her tentacles tightly wrapped around Uta's arms, her eyes full of panic.

Hongo gently patted Wuta's shoulder and asked with concern: "Wuta, how do you feel?"

Wuta kept crying, her little hands tightly grasping Gulixiati's clothes, her voice so weak that it was almost inaudible: "Honxiang... I... I feel so uncomfortable..." I don't want to die...

"Don't be afraid! I'm here." Hongo quickly checked Uta's body.

Fortunately, after checking, Hongxiang found that Uta was just seasick and had no other problems. He finally relaxed a lot.

"It's okay, it turns out I was just seasick. Uta, don't be afraid, just hold on a little longer."

"Is it just seasickness? Why does it look so serious?" Gulixiati touched Wuta's head with heartache.

“Seasickness is not a disease, but it can be fatal. Only those who suffer from it know the pain best.”

"Phew~ poor little guy."

"Mmm..." Meli burped while crying. He asked nervously, "Seasick? Then Uta won't be seasick, right?"

"Don't worry, seasickness is only temporary. Uta will be fine."

"Really? Then when will Uta get better?"

"Everything will be fine once the storm passes."

"Great God Usopp, please protect me and let the storm pass quickly." Merry put her tentacles together and prayed quietly.

Outside the cabin, the wind and rain were still raging.

Shanks was tying the sail flag absentmindedly while shouting worriedly, "Hongo, how is Uta?" His voice sounded very anxious, as if he was about to rush in at any time.

While pressing the acupuncture points on Wuta's body, Hongxiang shouted to the door: "Wuta is fine, just seasick."

"Huh? Seasick?" Shanks' voice sounded somewhat unbelievable, but also a bit relieved. "Why are you suddenly seasick?"

After all, Uta had been sailing with Shanks and the others for almost a year and had never been seasick before. No one had expected this situation to happen.

Hong Xiang couldn't explain it clearly, so he stood up and said, "Sister Xia Ti, go help Wu Ta change into clean clothes first, so she won't catch a cold. I'll go find some seasickness medicine."

"Okay. No problem."

Gulishati picked up Uta, staggered back to the lounge, and helped her change her wet clothes.

Merry helped bring a dry towel and gently wiped the rain off Uta's face and hair. "Uta-san, are you feeling better?"

Uta smiled at Meli and said in a small and soft voice: "Thank you, I feel much better."

Actually, not.

Uta still felt dizzy and painful, as if her head was about to float out of her body, but her hands and feet were heavy. She wanted to lift them but couldn't, as if they were not her own hands and feet at all.

It hurts so much!

Uta had a headache, a sore throat, and nausea in her stomach, which made her want to vomit, but she couldn't vomit anything.

She wanted to fall asleep so that she wouldn't know anything.

However, she didn't dare to fall asleep, as she always felt that once she fell asleep, she might never wake up again.

Perhaps, Hongo was comforting her, she was really going to die.

Uta's little mind was in a mess, all kinds of random thoughts emerged in her mind, and a trace of despair flashed through her heart. She glanced at Meli, whose face was covered with tears.

This is her first friend, she can’t let her friend worry about her.

Besides, Meli is crying so hard, is she dehydrated?

The little octopus will die from lack of water, and I don’t want my friend to die!

It's so uncomfortable! What should I do? What should I do?

......

Hongo searched the medicine cabinet but couldn't find any seasickness medicine.

He couldn't help but frown, feeling a little annoyed: What a mistake! They had been sailing on the sea for many years and were already accustomed to this kind of life. No one had ever been seasick before, and he didn't prepare any seasickness medicine!

Children's physical conditions are different from those of adults, so we will need to prepare more different medicines in the future.

Hongo thought for a moment, took out a piece of pain-relieving ointment from the cabinet, and cut it into four small pieces.

Then, Hongo cut a few slices of ginger in the kitchen. The spicy smell of the ginger spread in the air, making people feel a lot more sober.

He mixed ginger slices with pain-relieving ointment to make some simple motion sickness patches.

Hongxiang placed the homemade motion sickness patches on both sides of Wuta's temples and belly button, and gently comforted her, "Wuta, this will relieve some of the seasickness symptoms. Just get some sleep and you'll feel better soon."

"Well, thank you, Hongxiang." Uta replied softly and closed his eyes, but he still felt very nauseous and uncomfortable.

Time also became extremely long.

Suddenly, there were hurried footsteps and shouts outside the cabin.

"A small island has appeared in the southeast. Let's go to the island to take shelter from the wind and rain!"

"Turn, turn."

"Splash~" A huge wave hit the deck, soaking everyone who was already soaked.

"Hold steady, everyone, hold steady."
