Straw Hat Pirates Daily Life
"We found a small island ahead." Zoro raised one hand in front of his forehead on the observation tower.
"Okay, let's go to the island and rest for a while," Nami glanced at the Merry, her eyes darkening.
A few days ago, when leaving Alabasta, we were besieged by the navy. The battle was fierce, and the Merry took a lot of damage. Although Usopp made some repairs to the broken parts,...
"The Merry can't hold on any longer."
"Let's go," Luffy stood on the sheep's head, opened his arms towards the island, and shouted excitedly, "Land on the island!"
The Merry leaned against the shallow water, and a creaking sound came from the crack.
"We'll split up into teams. Sanji and Robin will go get the food, Chopper... Hey! Luffy, don't run too far..."
Before Nami could finish her words, Luffy had already rushed into the woods.
"...That idiot!" Nami's veins jumped and she took a deep breath, "Forget it, Zoro, you are responsible for finding fresh water."
"Scared? Why should I listen to your instructions?"
"Stop talking nonsense! The captain has run away. Who else can take charge of you, a bunch of single-celled organisms?"
"Nami-san, whatever you want to do, leave it to me~~~"
......
The group landed on the island in a noisy manner and moved in teams to fetch water, look for food and dry firewood.
Only Merry and Usopp were left on the ship, preparing to conduct a detailed inspection and repair of the hull.
"That's really a big help. I didn't expect Merry also knows boatmanship."
"I learned a little bit from Aunt Shati before."
The Merry's hull was riddled with holes, cracks, and half-baked repairs.
"Here," Merry pointed to a patch on the hull, "this treatment won't work. If it gets hit again, it'll crack again."
"Ahaha, it still doesn't work." Usopp raised his hand and rubbed the tip of his nose, laughing awkwardly. "Sorry, my ship repair skills are too average."
"Don't say that," Merry turned her head to look at Usopp with a serious look, "Usopp's hands are very skillful and very careful."
"Look, you can even notice the small cracks here. You've never learned boatmanship, but you can fix it like this. It's really amazing."
Very impressive! ?
Usopp was completely stunned. No one had ever praised him so seriously before.
What, what!
He suddenly turned sideways and quickly raised his hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of his eyes.
Merry, this guy! It's really unfair for him to suddenly say something so comforting like that.
"Usopp? Are you okay?" Merry looked at the figure with heaving shoulders with some worry.
"Of course!" Usopp suppressed his emotions, put his hands on his hips, and laughed exaggeratedly.
"I've been good at handicrafts since I was a child, and I'm also smart. When it comes to taking good care of the Merry, I'm definitely number one."
"Yes. Thank you for taking care of the Merry. Don't worry, I will come to help in the future."
"Great! Merry-chan! You don't even know that Luffy and Zoro are not only of no help, but they will only make the Merry worse."
"Hahaha, I know." Merry laughed at Usopp's exaggerated expression, "Luffy and the others are really not good at doing these things."
"Anyway, let's work hard together from now on!"
......
Merry and Usopp worked together to help, checking every scar on the Merry and carrying out more stable repairs.
Usopp couldn't help but whistle: "Perfect! As expected of me."
"Wait, it's not over yet. These seams need another coat of tung oil to prevent water from getting in so easily."
"I see!"
The two continued to repair it carefully.
The sun gradually set in the west, and Luffy's laughter could be heard from far away.
"Hahaha, meat! Huge amounts of meat!"
Luffy rushed out of the woods carrying a wild deer that was taller than a man.
"Merry, Usopp, we're back!"
Sanji followed behind, a cigarette in his mouth and two large baskets full of food in his hands. The evening breeze blew, and smoke overflowed from the corners of his lips.
Zoro held up a large wooden barrel filled with water on his head, followed by Nami, Chopper, and Robin...
......
Night fell quickly and stars appeared in the sky one by one.
On the beach, a bonfire was burning brightly. An iron pot was placed on the fire, filled with food, and the aroma spread for miles.
The sheepshead bow of the Merry was facing the campfire with a smile, and the flickering flames reflected in its wooden eyes.
Merry, Luffy and the others sat scattered around the campfire, occasionally helping out with small tasks, but spent most of their time playing and laughing.
Sanji was busy on the other side of the fire: "Done! Special love pan-fried dumplings for Nami-chan, Merry-chan, and Robin-chan..."
Before he could finish his words, a rubber arm stretched out, swept across the fire, and grabbed the heart-shaped fried egg that Sanji had just made.
"Ouch—hot, hot, hot..."
"Luffy!!!" Sanji immediately picked up the spatula, "That's a loving gift for the ladies!!!"
Luffy ran around the hot pot with his cheeks puffed out, and Sanji chased after him.
"Hahahaha." Everyone laughed loudly.
Suddenly, there was a rustling sound from the dense forest behind him.
"More food!" Luffy's eyes lit up and he rushed into the dense forest.
“Ouch!”
From deep within the dark bushes, an irritable cat's cry was heard, followed by the grunting of a wild boar.
Under the starlight, an adult black-bristled wild boar was charging and chasing a tabby cat.
The tabby cat's physical strength seemed to have reached its limit, and it was accidentally caught up by the wild boar, and its fangs pierced its hind legs.
"Rubber rubber..." Luffy's voice sounded from far away, "——Bazooka!"
Just when the wild boar was about to bite the tabby cat, the rubber arm suddenly stretched out and hit the wild boar hard with its fist.
The huge wild boar was knocked away and hit a big tree.
"Bang!" The big tree fell to the ground, scaring away a flock of night birds.
The tabby cat wanted to take the opportunity to escape, but just as it raised its front paws, it stumbled and fell to the ground again.
Its hind legs were injured and bleeding continuously.
Luffy swung the wild boar, which was bigger than himself, onto his shoulder and stared at the injured tabby cat with his head tilted for a long time.
The tabby cat continued to crawl forward, dragging its injured hind leg.
"Oh!" Luffy seemed to have figured something out, and suddenly stretched out his arms to grab the cat.
But the tabby cat exploded!
All the hair on its body stood up, and it looked like a hedgehog.
"Ah!" The intact front paw stretched out like lightning and scratched Luffy's arm frantically.
"Ah! It hurts! I was trying to save you!"
Luffy grinned in grievance, and the cat's claws instantly left several scratches on his arm, but he did not let go, but just lifted the cat higher.
The cat's roar exploded in the dense forest, startling a fluttering black shadow again.
Luffy cried out in pain and brought the wild boar and the tabby cat back to the campfire.
Nami put her hands on her hips and yelled, "Luffy, what strange things did you pick up again?"
"Disrespectful servant, let me go!" Chopper suddenly lowered his voice and imitated the fierce tone of a tabby cat, "This cat said so."
"What a ferocious cat!" Merry looked at the fur ball struggling madly, almost unrecognizable. "Luffy, why are you catching it?"
Robin held his chin with one hand, tapped the corner of his lips with his index finger, and smiled innocently and gently: "Hehe, this cat is too small, there is not much meat, it is not delicious at all."
Sanji turned around, his eyes shining. "If Robin-chan wants to eat it, even if I've never made cat meat dishes, I will definitely do my best to use my cooking skills."
"What!" Chopper, Merry, and Usopp screamed at the same time, crossing their arms in front of their chests to make an X. "Cats are so cute, how can you eat them!?"
"Ah!!!" The tabby cat seemed to understand, and its fur stood up even more. It scratched even more frantically, almost leaving an afterimage.
"It hurts, it hurts!" Luffy had a few more scratches on his arm.
"Damn it! I am not food for you slaves. This cat said so." Chopper lowered his voice and continued to translate.
Luffy threw the wild boar on the ground and pouted: "What? I won't eat it if it's so small. I only brought it back because I saw it was injured."
The tabby cat continued to twist wildly, screaming: "Ahhh!!"
Zoro opened his eyes lazily, put his thumb on the scabbard and pushed it, a cold light flashed across his face: "Stop making so much noise, just chop it off."
The tabby cat suddenly froze, was quiet for a while, and then screamed loudly: "Ahhh!" Let me go!
"How cute! This kitten seems to understand us." Meli approached the tabby cat and curiously stretched out her finger, wanting to touch its nose. She was quickly pushed back by the waving cat paw. "It's really fierce!"
"I don't care. Chopper, I leave it to you." Luffy suddenly stuffed the tabby cat into Chopper's arms, turned around and rushed towards Sanji, "Sanji, I want to eat roasted pig!"
"I understand. Wait a moment." Sanji responded, picked up the knife and walked towards the wild boar.
The tabby cat was stuffed into Chopper's arms and didn't struggle much.
Perhaps it discovered that this creature that could communicate with it posed no threat.
Chopper carefully hugged the tabby cat and said softly, "My king, you are bleeding. Let me help you treat the wound."
The tabby cat raised its chin, looked at Chopper, and suddenly raised its paw pad to cover Chopper's forehead.
"Meow~" This king agreed.
"Okay, thank you, my king." Chopper smiled good-naturedly, took out the medicine box, and began to disinfect, apply medicine, and bandage the wound.
The tabby cat squinted its eyes the whole time and wagged its tail impatiently.
After the last bandage was tied, the tabby cat suddenly kicked its hind legs and jumped onto Luffy's head.
"What are you doing?" Luffy was holding a deer leg in his hand and wanted to shake off the cat on his head, but he had no hands. "You crushed my straw hat!"
"Ao! Woo!" The tabby cat raised its tail and pointed to the southwest, its voice filled with unquestionable arrogance.
"Minion, go over there and take this king home! That's what the cat said. Eh? King, you..."
"Yada, I still want to eat roasted pig." Luffy refused without hesitation.
"It seems that Luffy has been dependent on this cat. You really deserve it." Zoro smiled gloatingly.
The tabby cat snorted coldly, squinting its amber eyes, looking arrogant as if it looked down on everyone else.
It is his honor that the king allowed him to take me home!
