Not Soft at All

The next day, the morning sun swirled around, changing into various shapes that were quite eye-catching.

Today, it's rare to have such a good atmosphere.

"Bang"

The whole house shook, and a large door slammed shut, nearly falling apart, creaking and groaning.

"Let's go."

A figure retracted his foot and unleashed the long-lost Lion's Roar.

"Bai Doudou, why don't you just die?"

A smelly shoe flew by, emitting a pungent odor.

Without a doubt, a rabbit paw gripped the smelly shoe, and sneered, "Hmph, you think you can ambush me? You Rabbit Lord."

"Thud"

The other smelly shoe landed squarely on Bai Doudou's face, right where it hurts.

Reaching out, she removed the smelly shoe from her face, and with her ears perked up, Bai Doudou suddenly unleashed a lightning-fast kick at Ye Chen on the bed.

"Screw you, what time is it? We should get going."

"Bang"

Ye Chen clenched his fists, gripping Bai Doudou's rabbit foot tightly, and with no restraint, he flipped over and kicked out, aiming to kill her.

Amidst the boiling Armament Haki, Bai Doudou successfully blocked Ye Chen's counterattack by placing her hands in front of her chest.

The two separated, Bai Doudou did several backflips before landing gracefully.

"Perfect."

Smugly, Bai Doudou stood with one foot on the ground, giving Ye Chen a defiant look as he stood up.

Staring intently at this idiot, Ye Chen suddenly became serious, causing Bai Doudou to immediately prepare to attack.

Are you sure you want to leave with me?

Ye Chen's question startled Bai Doudou, who then put the coffin away and nodded firmly.

"In that case, let's get ready!"

A few minutes later, Ye Chen stood in the field, watching the busy animals, and then looked back at Bai Doudou and Elder Rabbit, who were hugging each other in front of the door.

The Elder Rabbit kept nagging and giving Bai Doudou endless instructions.

Bai Doudou, with her ears drooping, choked back tears as she wiped her eyes.

Watching this scene, Ye Chen felt a pang of nostalgia. His mother had given him the same advice back then, nagging incessantly as soon as he went out. At that time, he was impatient and didn't listen at all. But now, he couldn't hear her even if he wanted to.

Lost in thought, Ye Chen felt a slight itch in his eyes!

"Ye Chen, I'm counting on you for everything."

Elder Rabbit, leading Bai Doudou, walked up to Ye Chen and bent down.

A mother worries when her child travels a thousand miles; being a parent is just that ordinary and commonplace!

"I can't promise you anything, but from now on, Bai Doudou is my brother, Ye Chen's brother. No one can bully him. This is a promise I, Ye Chen, have made!"

Ye Chen helped Elder Rabbit up, his expression grave and resolute.

Hearing Ye Chen's promise, Elder Rabbit nodded gratefully, then patted Bai Doudou's head affectionately and said, "From now on, listen to Ye Chen more often when you're out in the world. Don't trust anyone easily."

"I know, Grandpa," Bai Doudou choked up, completely unlike her previous carefree self.

"Elder Rabbit, there's no time to lose, we're leaving now. Thank you for saving our lives!"

Unable to bear the separation, Ye Chen grabbed Bai Doudou's hand, said one last thing to the Elder Rabbit, and then soared into the air, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

"Grandpa, I'll come back to see you!"

On the ground, Elder Rabbit waved his hand, a smile on his face.

The waves surged and rippled, Sisi sea breeze blew, and a log parted the raging waves, speeding away.

At the very front of the log, Bai Doudou squatted, looking somewhat downcast. Clearly, being away from his grandfather was making him uncomfortable.

Behind him, Ye Chen looked at the dejected Bai Doudou without offering any words of comfort. He was certain that in a few minutes, the guy would be bouncing around again.

Sure enough, less than a minute later, Bai Doudou, who had been squatting, suddenly jumped up excitedly.

"Haha, I want to knead Whitebeard Pirates!"

With a dark expression, Ye Chen remained silent, because if he answered, he would be met with endless questions, and then the two of them would start arguing. This was an experience Ye Chen had gained from countless encounters.

"Boom"

The explosion on the sea surface sent the log, which had been slowing down, flying out of the water.

Half an hour, one hour, two hours

"Ugh, so boring."

Lying listlessly on the log, Bai Doudou looked dejected, as if she had lost all hope of living.

The sea breeze blew for two hours straight, and the sea stretched as far as the eye could see. This was different from what Bai Doudou had imagined, which turned her initial excitement into a complete mess.

Suddenly, Ye Chen looked up and saw a black dot coming towards him. As expected, it was a pirate ship.

Its droopy ears suddenly perked up, and its listless Bai Doudou jumped up in an instant.

With a "pop," a puff of smoke, like the sound of a bubble bursting, appeared. To Ye Chen's astonishment, Bai Doudou transformed into a seagull, flapping its wings and soaring towards the pirate ship.

The unexpected happened just like that. Ye Chen's mouth was slightly open, and he looked completely dumbfounded.

Coming to his senses, Ye Chen stared at Bai Doudou, his face dark, as she vanished with an explosion.

At the same time, on the approaching pirate ship, a heavily decorated pirate flag was flying high.

On the lookout tower, a pirate with binoculars spotted Ye Chen and immediately shouted towards the ship, "There's someone on wooden planks right ahead, rapidly approaching us!"

"Captain, enemy attack!"

The entire ship quickly assembled, with everyone armed with pistols and other weapons, awaiting the enemy's arrival.

"I'd like to see who dares to mess with me, Crescent Moon Hunter."

A woman with a somewhat fiery temper rang out. She had long hair braided, a slightly forward-leaning forehead, and a nose that was longer than average. Her square chin made her mouth appear larger, and she wore bright red lipstick.

Her chest was full and powerful, draped with a purplish-red shawl, and she wore a pink shirt and lavender-colored trousers. In her hand she held a spear, the length of which was somewhat nauseating.

This woman was none other than Catarina Devon, the Crescent Moon Hunter, who would later become a crew member of Blackbeard's crew.

Standing at the very front, Catarina squinted, watching the black dots approaching from afar.

However, just then, a seagull landed on the deck and, with a pop, turned into a rabbit.

Everyone was stunned for a moment.

Upon reverting to her original form, Bai Doudou immediately set her sights on Catarina, because Katarina's breasts matched those of her grandfather's woman.

Harmless as ever, Bai Doudou hopped over to Catarina and asked, "Are you a woman?"

"I've said it!"

The entire ship of pirates stared at Bai Doudou with their Big Mouth in disbelief.

"Nonsense, if I'm not a woman, then who are you?" The sight of a talking rabbit made Catarina's eyes light up. "From now on, you'll be my pet."

However, no sooner had Catarina finished than a pair of claws landed on her chest and even pinched it.

Bai Doudou was clinging to Catarina, its paws moving back and forth in various ways, its eyes growing brighter the more it rubbed them.

"Just like Grandpa's, it can be kneaded into various shapes, and you can't hold it in one hand. But it feels like there's something in between, hard and not soft at all. Could it be some kind of Grandpa's underwear?"

Bai Doudou's muttering to herself left everyone stunned, including Catarina, who was completely dumbfounded.

That's a perverted rabbit.
