Upon hearing Fang Yi's words, Jaba fell into deep thought.
However, Fang Yi didn't say anything more. Instead, he handed a small pill to Jaba and said, "Teacher Jaba, think it over carefully. I'll go hunting first! Once you've made up your mind, act according to the plan!"
After Fang Yi left, Bucky and Shanks, still on the ship, were getting impatient. They had been stuck on the ship every day, and now that they finally arrived at a small island, they naturally wanted to go for a stroll.
"Wait up!" Rayleigh grabbed Bucky, who was about to get off the ship, glared at him and said, "What's the hurry? Let's wait for Fang Yi and Jaba to return before we leave!"
"Huh? Why?" Bucky asked without any sense of propriety.
Shanks, who was also all set, looked curiously at Rayleigh and Captain Roger, who was snickering beside him. He seemed to sense that something was about to happen, so he consciously didn't rush to get off the ship.
"Ahem... Well, Yamon, Fang Yi and the others have been gone for so long and still haven't come back... How about you go and check on them?" After waiting for a while, Captain Roger walked out pretendingly and said to Yamon, who looked casual beside him.
Captain Roger's awkward demeanor made Rayleigh, who knew the score, cringe with second - hand embarrassment. It was just so awkward to watch.
The other crew members were quite surprised. Shanks, who had a bit of a hunch, was also surprised. They all either looked at Captain Roger or at Yamon.
However, Yamon didn't seem surprised and didn't ask many questions. He just took the wine bottle and got off the ship without even bringing a weapon.
After Yamon left, the crew members surrounded Captain Roger and Rayleigh.
"Captain, what on earth are you guys up to?" Petrom asked playfully.
"Don't ask too many questions. It's not the time to talk about it yet!" It was still Rayleigh who held his ground and said sternly.
"No way?" Chef Yaoyi looked at Yamon walking towards the depths of the island, then thought of Jaba and Fang Yi who had gone ahead, and guessed, "You're not trying to set Yamon up with Jaba, are you..."
"Shh!" Captain Roger immediately put on a serious face and said, "The matter isn't settled yet. Don't say it out loud, or it'll be really embarrassing later!"
"Oooo~~~"
Everyone had an expression of "So that's how it is", except Bucky and Shanks who were completely in the dark. As kids, unlike Fang Yi, who was a time - traveler, this kind of thing was beyond their understanding.
Rayleigh helplessly looked at his own captain. What's the difference between this and just blurting it out?
"Look! Yamon has gone far away. Shouldn't we follow him now!?" Lookout Golan pointed at Yamon, who was already out of sight, and reminded.
"Oops... Hurry, let's follow him!" Captain Roger looked impatient and rushed down first.
After seeing Captain Roger run off, the others finally reacted. Especially the ship's doctor, Brumalin, remembering Fang Yi's instructions, picked up the medicine box and ran out after them.
Shanks and Bucky, who were confused, looked at each other and then quickly got off the ship too.
Rustling...
Jaba was holding the pill given by Fang Yi, hesitating. The sound coming from the grass not far away startled him. He quickly threw the pill aside and then fell directly to the ground.
"Come on, stop pretending to be dead here! Get up!" Sure enough, it was Yamon. After walking up to Jaba, she gave him a kick, then plopped down beside him and said flatly.
Jaba's heart tightened, not knowing what to do... Should he keep lying down? It seemed something was off.
But if he just sat up... wouldn't it be even more awkward?
Yamon glanced at Jaba who remained motionless and let out a soft laugh. "If you keep lying there... the captain and the others will be here soon!"
Yamon's words made Jaba's heart sink. He sat up straight away, looking at Yamon in great shock and tremblingly asking, "You... you know everything?"
"Humph! Not pretending to be dead anymore?" Yamon snorted.
"Um... I..." Jaba moved his lips, only to find that he didn't know what to say.
"Speak up! Xiaoyi said you had something to tell me... I want to hear what it is that made such a big fuss!" Yamon took a sip of wine and said softly.
The trembling of her arm as she drank the wine also betrayed her inner unease.
In fact, when Xiaoyi told her about Roger and the others' plan before, she wanted to lose her temper right away.
But later, it was Xiaoyi's persuasion that made her understand that this wasn't a prank.
"Did Xiaoyi tell you everything?" Jaba asked with a bitter smile.
"What? Do you really want to make a fool of me?" Yamon asked discontentedly.
"No! No!" Jaba quickly waved his hands. "How could that be? I actually didn't want to deceive you either. It was all what Xiaoyi said!"
At this moment, Jaba didn't care about anything else and could only throw Xiaoyi under the bus, which made Xiaoyi, who was hiding in a tree not far away, shiver immediately.
"Did you take the pill that kid gave you?" Yamon glanced at Jaba and asked.
"Um... No! I always felt it was wrong to deceive you like this!" Jaba scratched the back of his head somewhat sheepishly.
"Well, you're not completely heartless..." Yamon gave Jaba a disdainful look and threw the wine bottle in her hand at him. "But... I do understand your feelings now!"
Jaba caught the wine bottle and took a big gulp. Then he looked at Yamon and said, "Since you know everything, I won't beat around the bush... I like you. Will you be my wife?"
Yamon hesitated for a moment. Then she glanced at the place where Xiaoyi was hiding, picked up a stone on the ground and threw it directly over.
"Damn it!" Seeing Yamon raise her hand, Xiaoyi knew something was wrong. Without saying a word, he ran away at once.
When he came back after wandering around for a while, he was immediately grabbed by Jaba who rushed up without saying a word.
"Kid... Is it fun to sell us out?"
Roger and Rayleigh, their faces bruised, joined an angry Jabba in launching a group brawl directly. Even though Fang Yi triggered his dodge skill several times, he still couldn't escape the misfortune. The bumps on his head kept growing, scaring Wangzai beside him so much that it tucked its tail.
"Hey... Teacher Jabba... Did it work out in the end?" Fang Yi, lying on the ground, still asked persistently.
"Humph, go ask Teacher Yamon yourself! Aren't you on better terms with her?" Jabba said unhappily.
"Do you think it's okay for me to go there now?" Fang Yi said with a bitter smile.
"Get ready for tonight's banquet!" Roger said to Fang Yi with a smile after leaving.
Hearing this, Fang Yi knew that things had worked out and immediately jumped up happily.
In fact, the three of them didn't hit him severely. They were just angry about Fang Yi not telling them the real plan. But they also knew that if Fang Yi had said it in advance, the result definitely wouldn't have been as good as it was now. Especially after witnessing Jabba and Roger's acting skills, even Rayleigh couldn't help but think 'well - done' in his heart.
However, someone had to take the blame for this, and Fang Yi was the most suitable candidate. So the scene just now took place, mainly because the previous experience was rather embarrassing.
It turned out that because Yamon already knew in advance, Roger and the others came over after they finished here.
Then, upon seeing Jabba, the ship's doctor, remembering Fang Yi's instructions, rushed up and pinned Jabba to the ground, then rambled on. Anyway, the meaning was very simple, that is, he was poisoned and would soon die if not rescued. And Roger and Rayleigh even put on a show, which almost made Yamon burst out laughing.
Finally, Jabba, who came to his senses, whispered to Roger, "Um... Captain, I didn't take the pill! And... I've finished talking with Yamon!"
The scene at that time was extremely embarrassing. Even with Roger's personality, he couldn't find any words to smooth things over for a moment.
In short, as Jabba's words came out, the whole scene fell silent.
After that, Fang Yi didn't know what happened because no one wanted to mention it later. Even Shanks and Bucky had been silenced, which made Fang Yi very regretful.
That night, the entire Roger Pirates held a simple wedding for Jabba and Yamon. That's how pirates are. In Yamon's words, as children of the sea, a wedding is just a ceremony, so it's okay to keep it simple.
Everyone went crazy all night, and it was not until dawn the next day that they all fell into a deep sleep.
Just like this, the Roger Pirates took a three - day rest on this uninhabited island. On the fourth day, they slowly set sail and continued their adventure.
Fang Yi didn't know if his act of bringing Jabba and Yamon together had changed the history of this world. But when he unknowingly integrated into the Roger Pirates, he no longer cared about the so - called history.
Because the people around him were all real, flesh - and - blood people, not just characters in an anime. They laughed together, grieved together, fought together and bled together. They had long regarded the crew members as family.
"Captain... Look... Something terrible has happened!" One day, the Oro Jackson ship was sailing on the sea as usual. Suddenly, the lookout Golan, holding a newspaper, shouted loudly at Roger, who was eating in the cabin.
"What happened?" Rayleigh adjusted his glasses and looked at Golan, asking.
"Mr. Rayleigh, take a look!" Golan handed the newspaper in his hand to Rayleigh and said.
Rayleigh opened the newspaper and read it for a while. His face also darkened.
"Hmm...?" Roger, on the side, couldn't help but be curious. While eating, he also leaned his head over.
"Mr. Rayleigh, what's happened?" The others also asked curiously.
"The Golden Lion Pirates... has destroyed Devil's Island!" Rayleigh closed the newspaper and said in a deep voice.
