"Is that so?"
Ai Er deliberately put on a skeptical expression, then nodded and said,""If that's the case, then you can follow me for the time being. I'll send you home.”
"Eh?" Nami and Carina were slightly stunned.
"Eh what?"
"Are you guys lying to me just now?" Ai Er asked suspiciously.”
"No, no,"
Nami and Carina quickly waved their hands. They looked at each other and nodded at Aiur. They bowed in tacit understanding and said,"Then I'll have to trouble you, Onii-chan!”
Although Ai Er didn't have the same exaggerated body size as Charlotte Lingling due to his different characteristics, he didn't look like an eight-year-old.
He was 1.45 meters tall, making him look like he was 11 or 12 years old.
Therefore, it was no wonder that the eight-year-old Nami and Karina would say the words 'onii-chan.'
"Okay, wait for me here.”
Ai Er nodded in satisfaction and accepted Onii-chan's address.
Aiur suddenly jumped into the sea and swam to a part of the boat. He pulled out a small boat that was necessary for all boats. It was specially used for emergency treatment or escape.
On the first day out at sea, he had met the female lead, as well as the " Strange Bandit " Carlina, who appeared in the " Theatrical Version: Golden City " and made a guest appearance in the " Theatrical Version: Fiery Operation." In addition, none of them emitted an aura that made him uncomfortable. Aiur's idea just now was to recruit them as his companions.
Through reading his memories, Aiur knew the current time period. Nami was eight years old, and Luffy was seven years old, which was the year 1510 of the Sea Circle Calendar.
There were still ten years before the plot began.
Ten years was a very long time.
There were only a few decades in a person's life.
With the three great talents of the world's blessing, Aiur did not have the idea of going out to sea when he was a teenager.
Charlotte Lingling had become a pirate with a bounty of 50 million Berries at the age of six. Aiur had only set sail at the age of eight, but it was already very late.
At first, Ai Er had no intention of recruiting companions.
Now, seeing that Nami and Nami didn't give off any aura that made him feel uncomfortable, Aiur suddenly had the idea of forming a fleet.
Living alone was too boring.
During the three years of secluded cultivation, if not for his initial contact with extraordinary power and his interest in practicing the sword, Aiur would not have been able to last three years alone.
As soon as he went out to sea, he met two 'peers' who he didn't 'hate' and naturally wouldn't let them go.
In his heart, he even thought that this was a new gift from the world.
Otherwise, how could he have met the female lead of One Piece on his first day out at sea?
After pulling the boat up and pouring the seawater out to float on the surface of the sea, Aiur held his breath and sank again. He moved all the treasures in the treasure vault up, almost filling the entire boat.
"Treasure, so much treasure!"
Looking at the bags of treasures that Aiur threw at them, Nami and Carina instantly forgot their fear of this oni-chan. Their beautiful eyes of different colors turned into the shape of a dollar, shining with a golden light that was even more dazzling than the sun.
"Let's go. We'll find the nearest island.”
After throwing the last bag of treasure, Aiur climbed up, drenched. He looked at the two girls and asked knowingly,""Do you know how to navigate?"
"I will, I will!"
Nami immediately raised her hand and said enthusiastically,""Onii-chan, leave the sailing work to me!”
After saying that, Nami and Karina looked at each other again and revealed a smile that showed that they understood each other's thoughts.
They were definitely going to cling onto this thigh!
They had been so afraid that they had forgotten that this Onii-chan, who looked only a little older than them, was a terrifying existence that could destroy a pirate group by herself.
That powerful green slash might have been the key to breaking the sailboat.
In addition, the other party said that he would take the initiative to send them home. It could be seen that he was not a bad person.
As for the act of killing the pirates, it should be a character that abhors evil as enemies.
How could they let go of such a powerful and kind-hearted thigh?
Nami and Kalina had already decided that if 'Oni-chan' asked about their home, they would use all sorts of methods to brush him off. They would follow him until he gave up on asking.
however
Nami and Carina didn't know what they were thinking. Aiur had seen through them.
At the same time, this 'playing hard to get' was also Aiur's doing on purpose.
There was a completely different meaning between him recruiting and the other party taking the initiative to cling to him.
The former would cause the other party to have certain thoughts, which might make them wary of Aiur and make things worse.
The latter's words meant that the other party already knew Aiur's character and sincerely wanted to become Aiur's companion.
Therefore, Ai Er decided to let them make their own choices.
Aiur was confident that he could definitely make Nami and Carina board his ship.
Even though their relationship was still plastic on the surface, Aiur's trio had indeed been established.
............
On the vast sea, a small boat that could be overturned by a wave was drifting on the sea with the help of a canvas that was neither too big nor too small.
On the ship that was cramped with treasures, El took off his faded white shirt, wrung out the seawater, and tore off a sleeve. He made a cloth and tied the silver hair that had grown to his back for eight years into a single ponytail.
During the three years of closed-door cultivation, besides paying attention to hygiene, Ai Er had never had the time to take care of his hair and clothes.
The clothes were also secretly exchanged with hunted animals at night with the clothing store in the town.
Now that he had a boat, money, and companions, Ai Er planned to change his appearance when he reached the next island.
"Before I send you home, we're going to be partners who rely on each other."
After wringing out his shirt and putting it back on, Aiur looked at Nami and Carina, whose eyes were a little evasive and whose personalities were not as bold as in the original novel. He introduced himself,"Let's get to know each other. My name is Ai Er. What about you?”
"My name is Nami."
"My name is Carina."
Nami and Carina quickly replied.
"Then, please guide me from now on.”
Aiur smiled at Nami and Nami. He couldn't be described as handsome. He could only be described as cute.
This lethal smile instantly dispelled the fear of Aiur in the depths of the two women's hearts.
With the help of Nami's Sailing, Aiur and the other two arrived at the nearest island.
This island was not the island that appeared in the original novel.
The East China Sea, or rather, the Four Seas, was not as small as in the manga.
On the contrary, the four seas were the four largest seas in this world.
The so-called great sea route was just a sea route that was sandwiched in the middle of the windless zone for the four seas.
As one of the four largest sea areas, the East China Sea had a lot of islands, and it was also the sea area with the most countries.
For example, the original Luffy's first stop, Shields Town, and the Clown Baki's Orange Town were countless in the East Ocean.
The island that Aiur's trio landed on was a small island similar to Orange Town.
