"How about this, let's vote and see who eats this Sea God Fruit. Other than Ah Shan, you guys can choose one person from Rui, Min, or Avril.”Li Yuan said.
The Sea God Fruit was truly too precious. Li Yuan could imagine that the reason why these guys were so preoccupied was probably because they were under too much pressure.
Of course, they might have thought more. To ordinary people, the Sea God's Fruit was a treasure that could change their fate. If the captain did not sell the Sea God's Fruit, who would he distribute it to?
The few of them looked at each other and did not speak.
The atmosphere was a little strange. Perhaps it was because of suspicion, but Li Yuan did not believe that his crew would be like this. They had experienced life and death together. Could it be that they had finally obtained the treasure, but there was a barrier?
"Since no one is saying anything, how about this? Everyone, vote anonymously. Avril, get four pieces of the same paper, one for each of you, and write it for me."”
The few of them slowly dispersed.
The voting time was shorter than Li Yuan had imagined. After all, it would be much faster if he was alone.
Avril took four pieces of paper to the bow." Captain, it's all written.”
"Open it and let me see.”
Avril was a little nervous for some reason, but she still opened the first chapter.
"Avril. Alright, next one." Li Yuan read out the name on the first piece of paper. At the same time, he noticed that Avril was stunned for a moment.
This girl had a lot on her mind.
"The second one, Avril. Next." Avril was stunned for a while this time. She looked at Rui and the others, while Rui, Shan, and Min all smiled at Avril.
"Avril." The results of the third card were also out. It was still Avril.
This time, Avril's eyes reddened, and two streams of tears flowed down uncontrollably. She lowered her head and looked at the last piece of paper." Everyone…thank you…I…"
Out of the four people, three of them chose Avril, so it didn't matter if they didn't watch the last vote.
Ah Min walked over and hugged Avril." Sister Avril, although my father's legs are not good and the Sea God Fruit might be able to cure his illness, we all know that you're the one who needs this Sea God Fruit the most.”
Rui smiled." Avril, I'm already so old. It doesn't matter if my legs are good or not. Besides, our family already has Ah Shan. This Sea God Fruit should be yours."”
Ah Shan walked over as well, and together with Ah Min, they hugged the crying Avril." Sister Avril, when you find your enemy in the future, let's go together, okay?"”
Avril looked up at Ah Shan, feeling wronged. She cried even harder.
Li Yuan had expected that his crucial vote would be useless. However, this was good too. Everyone did not disappoint him.
That's more like it. They made the atmosphere so mysterious previously.
……………………
At night, the boat floated quietly on the sea. Most of the crew members were asleep, except for Ariel, who was leaning against the bow of the boat, looking at the stars in the sky.
"Captain, thank you. I didn't expect you to leave the Sea God Fruit behind.”Avril leaned her head against the side of the boat and hugged her legs. The sea breeze at night was a little cold.
"I thought about it and felt that investing in the crew would be more profitable.”Li Yuan said honestly," But I'm warning you. Even if you get your revenge, you have to follow me in the future. I don't want my 500,000 to run away."”
Avril couldn't help but laugh." Captain, when you saved me, I told you that I would always follow you, even if I didn't get the Sea God Fruit today.”
Li Yuan remembered Avril's words.
Avril let out a long sigh. She opened her palm, and there was a piece of paper in her hand. It was the one left from the day when the votes were counted.
"Captain, am I being selfish?”
"Hmm?" Li Yuan asked curiously.
Avril slowly opened the piece of paper. Li Yuan saw that it was still " Avril " written on it.
All four votes were for Avril. In other words, Avril herself had voted for him.
Li Yuan immediately understood what Avril meant. She chose herself.
"Big brother Rui and the others are all thinking for me, but I…I feel that I'm really selfish.”
The sea breeze blew past, lifting up Avril's long hair. Her hair gently stroked the bow of the ship. Although Li Yuan couldn't see Avril's expression at this moment, he could feel Avril's deep self-blame.
"Avril." Li Yuan's voice became very calm, a rare sense of normalcy." Have you all forgotten that I still have one vote?”
Avril turned her head and looked over, not knowing why Li Yuan suddenly mentioned this.
"But no matter what the result is, my choice is still yours.”Li Yuan said with certainty.
Avril's eyes blurred." Captain…"
"Don't look at me so affectionately. I've already said it before. If you find those enemies, I might not help you. I don't want to make any dangerous attempts anymore!”
Avril didn't say anything else. She just leaned against the bow of the boat, her face filled with satisfaction.
……………………
After consuming the Sea God Fruit, the body would undergo a relatively intense change, and it would last for a period of time.
It wasn't appropriate to eat it at Morgan Trade, so Li Yuan decided to go to the small island he had passed by before. Although the resources there were gone, it should be safer.
Five days later, Li Yuan and the others passed by the reef area and arrived at the most hidden island.
When he returned to this island, Li Yuan was no longer the small wooden boat that was two to three meters long. Now, he was already twelve meters long.
"There are often storms here, so there aren't many people here. Ah Shan, accompany Avril here to eat the Sea God's Fruit. We'll go out to the sea to catch some fish.”
"Xiao Bai, you stay on the shore and help them keep an eye on them.”
Avril, Ah Shan, and Little White got off the boat with the Sea God Fruit. Ah Rui and Ah Min stayed on the boat and went fishing on the sea not far away.
Rui skillfully spread the fishing net and then sat on the deck of the boat in boredom.
"Captain, did you discover this island?”
"It's recorded in Grandpa Avril's sea map.”Li Yuan said.
Ah Min also came over to chat." Captain, this island is a little off, but the surrounding reefs are a good natural barrier. If we build it, it can be used as a place to live.”
"I'm afraid not. It's said that the storms here are quite frequent and especially fierce. It's not safe to live here.”
"Ah, Captain, have you seen the storm here?”
"Of course. Let me tell you, that time…"
Li Yuan was about to tell the crew about the captain's legendary experience when he suddenly stopped talking.
Ding! 202 degrees southwest, 500 meters away, three pirate ships have been discovered approaching.
Before he could brag, bad news came.
"F * ck! Someone came to such a secluded place?!”Li Yuan immediately exclaimed," Ah Rui, Ah Min, a pirate group is coming!”
