Pirate: Nami! Give me back my Berry!

Chapter 620 Returning to Sky Island, Interactions between the Three Children

In the blue sky, a white-gold flame cloud was carrying four people slowly towards the sky island.

The clouds flow under your feet, carrying with them the unique salty scent of the sea breeze.

Ling Yan stood on the top of the cloud, his black windbreaker rustling in the wind. He looked back at Bai Xing who was holding the child, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously raised a gentle arc.

"Shirahoshi, have you thought of a name?" Dessa approached the mermaid princess, her hair dancing in the wind.

She looked curiously at the little mermaid sleeping in the cradle, her light blue tail glowing like a pearl in the sunlight.

Ling Yan couldn't help but chuckle.

In the past month, the names that Bai Xing has chosen can be compiled into a "Collection of Weird Names" - from "Bubble Gum" to "Kelp Roll", each one makes him laugh so hard that he can't straighten his back.

I remember one time she excitedly said she wanted to name it "Coral Reef", but she ended up tripping over this tongue-twisting name.

"Master Ling Yan!" Bai Xing puffed up her cheeks, her long pink hair swaying gently with her excited movements, "I have really thought it through this time!"

She subconsciously hugged the child in her arms, and her scales flashed stubbornly in the sunlight.

Daisha and Ling Yan exchanged glances. Ever since Shirahoshi spent seven days in the Fishman Island Library, they did notice that the mermaid princess's naming skills had improved.

At least there won’t be options like “Little Starfish” that make people hold their foreheads in their hands anymore.

"Aqua." Shirahoshi's voice suddenly became soft, as if she was afraid of disturbing the tranquility of the sea.

She lowered her head and gazed at the sleeping face of the child, her fingertips gently tracing the small facial features, "In the ancient fish language, this means water."

"I hope he is like the sea... able to gently embrace everything and cleanse all the sins in the world." When Bai Xing raised her head, Ling Yan and Daisha could see the extreme seriousness on her face.

Bai Xing felt a little nervous at the moment. This was something she had been thinking about for several days. If Lord Ling Yan still found it strange, then she would really cry.

Ling Yan's Adam's apple moved.

He reached out and stroked Shirahoshi's tail, his thumb brushing against the scales, feeling the slight coolness of the touch.

"Aqua...Shirahoshi, this name is very good, from now on he will be called Aqua." He repeated softly, the three syllables flowing between his lips and teeth, as if carrying the rhythm of the tides.

The little mermaid in the cradle opened her eyes at this moment.

The pair of blue eyes inherited from the mother, in the glow of light reflected from the clouds, actually glowed with a mysterious phosphorescence similar to that found in the deep sea.

He opened his toothless mouth and suddenly let out a giggle.

"It seems the little guy is very satisfied." Desha smiled and reached out to tease the baby.

Bai Xing smiled happily. This time, Lord Ling Yan finally stopped laughing at her because of the name she chose. For a moment, her long pink hair fell on her shoulders, dyed into a gorgeous coral color in the sunset.

Ling Yan looked at this scene, a warm current hotter than the flames surging in his chest.

At this time, Bai Xing also picked up Ling Yan. The fresh scent of seaweed in her hair and the unique milk scent of the baby intertwined together, making Ling Yan feel extremely warm.

In the distance, the outline of the sky island is faintly visible, like a dreamland floating in the sea of ​​clouds.

----

The sky of Sky Island was dyed with gorgeous sunset glow, and the sea of ​​clouds was illuminated by the setting sun into golden red, as if the entire island was bathed in warm flames.

The members of the Dream Expedition Team on the island had already known that Ling Yan and his group would be returning today, so everyone put down their work and gathered in the central square to wait.

When Ling Yan's flame cloud slowly landed on the edge of the sky island, cheers broke out instantly.

“They’re back!”

"Look! Shirahoshi-sama is holding the little mermaid in his arms!"

"So cute! So pink and tender!"

Everyone rushed forward, their faces filled with joy.

Nami and Hancock each held Lucina and Little Orange and came forward. The three mothers smiled at each other, their eyes full of tenderness.

"Let me see the little one!" Yamato excitedly squeezed to the front, her round belly was sticking out, but her movements were still flexible. She reached out and gently poked Aqua's little face. The little mermaid blinked and looked at the silver-haired big sister curiously.

"Wow! He's so soft!" Yamato exclaimed.

Then she put her hands together, and white flames gathered in her palms, quickly weaving into a soft and spacious crib, with a few small clouds floating around for decoration. "Come on! Put all three little ones in!"

Nami, Hancock and Shirahoshi smiled at each other and put the children into the cloud beds in tacit understanding.

Lucina was already able to walk unsteadily. She blinked her big amber eyes and looked at the new little brother curiously. Then she staggered over to Aqua with her short legs and sat down.

Little Orange was not to be outdone, and crawled over using his hands and feet, and the three little guys gathered together.

"Aiya——" Lucina stretched out her little hand and gently touched Aqua's cheek, as if to say hello.

"Woo-wah!" Little Orange also waved his little fists excitedly and made unclear baby talk.

Aqua blinked and suddenly giggled, her blue tail gently slapping the cloud bed, splashing a few tiny clouds.

"Are they chatting?" Bai Xing couldn't help laughing.

"It seems that Lucina is very much like an older sister!" Hancock raised her chin proudly.

"It's magical. Even though this is the first time we meet, it feels like we have known each other for a long time." Nami smiled gently, her eyes full of relief.

Everyone gathered around the cloud bed, watching the three little guys interacting and laughing.

At this time, Daisa walked over to Yamato, put her hand gently on her belly, and she was checking the condition of the fetus.

"In two months, you will become a mother too." Desha said with a smile.

"There are still more than two months..." Yamato pouted, a little impatient, but then gently stroked her belly, her eyes full of anticipation. "But the little guy is healthy, that's enough."

In the past few months, Kaido personally brought a medical team to Sky Island to visit her.

Originally, he wanted to take Yamato back to Wano Country to give birth, but after seeing the advanced medical technology of Sky Island, he finally compromised and only left a medical team and returned to Wano Country himself.

"The banquet is about to begin!" Bellmère's voice came from a distance. She and Anya were directing the servants to place sumptuous dishes on the long table.

The afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled on the sky island, and the golden light enveloped the laughing people.

The aroma of barbecue, the sweetness of fruit and the mellow flavor of fine wine are intertwined together, whetting your appetite.

Ling Yan stood on a high place, looking at the lively scene in front of him, and the corners of his mouth rose unconsciously. Family, friends, partners, everyone is here, happy and warm.

"Cheers!" he raised his glass and shouted loudly.

"Cheers!" everyone responded in unison, and their laughter echoed above the sea of ​​clouds.

As the night gradually fell, the lights on the sky island lit up one by one, illuminating everyone's smiling faces. The three little guys were tired from playing in the cloud bed, so they snuggled together and fell asleep.
