When ice-cold water touched him, Ian couldn't help s.h.i.+vering.
There was nothing to do with the s.h.i.+p drowning. Although Hina is a Devil Fruit User, she can't swim, but Ian could.
He held Hina tightly in one hand, entered the seawater slowly, and kept floating on the surface, waiting for the rescue of the upcoming marines.
However, what Ian didn't think about was that the spade's s.h.i.+p, which had a disintegrated hull at this time, was actually sinking!
Everyone knows that when the s.h.i.+p is sinking, the people nearby are in grave danger, because when the s.h.i.+p sinks into the water, it will bring out a vortex, and then the strong currents will pull them together into the sea.
This was the situation that Ian is facing now. Because of the attack on the hull of Ace's pirate s.h.i.+p, the s.h.i.+p began entering the water. At this time, after its collapse, its speed of sinking began to accelerate. However, it will take a while for the marines' wars.h.i.+p to come over.
Ian has felt the suction at this time. People's neutralization is totally different in the sea, and on the land, Ian can't make it out even with his current strength. So, he held Hina and started comically swimming faster while screaming. When he found that he still can't break free of this suction, he immediately knew that he was going to suffer.
“Hey, gorgeous! You have to hold your breath for a minute!” Ian said to Hina in his arms.
Hina's expression was very complicated at this time. She knows that she became powerless in the sea, so if she wanted to survive, she had to rely on Ian.
When the waves rolled in, a burst of force immediately pulled Ian and Hina down to the bottom of the sea.
Thanks to Ian's early warning, Hina also held her breath. Although she could not swim, she could only hold her breath for a while, and then when the s.h.i.+p completely sank, the suction power of the current would disappear, and then they could resurface.
Ian carried Hina in his left hand and tightly pressed his hat with his right hand. He didn't know if the Den Den Mus.h.i.+ in his hat will be OK, but he can't let go of it at this time, because once it's released, the hat will drift away with the currents, and he may not be able to find it back. He can only maintain this posture, only relying on his legs to push upward and trying to keep the moving upward force, so that he and Hina don't get dragged too far by the current.
However, the suction force brought by the sinking s.h.i.+p lasted longer than Ian imagined. As time went by, Hina couldn't hold her breath anymore. She was in a weakened state by the seawater, plus her lung capacity was incomparable with Ian. When she was about to break, she couldn't help struggling with her body.
When she moved like this, her body suddenly sank a little. When Ian responded and re-tightened her, he was no longer holding her waist, but immediately hugged her chest. His arms circled around her, and his palms rested on her plump chest.
Hina was shocked and opened her mouth to shout. But she forgot that they were in the water. Her last breath turned into bubbles and floated to the surface.
The seawater entered her lungs, which choked her and made her suffer.
If this continues, Hina will drown and die, but at this time, Ian's mouth stretched out, kissed her lips, and gave her his last breath.
Ian was actually quite helpless. In fact, he has nothing to do with Hina because she was too old for him. If not miscalculated, Hina should be 29-years-old at this time. Ian only admired her for her Yujie's style. (Yujie "御姐控" refers to girls or young women who are mature in appearance, body, personality, and temperament, and whose personalities are calm)
But falling into the water is such a hard thing to deal with, especially when saving a Devil Fruit User who's basically insulated from swimming once he eats a Devil Fruit. Hina doesn't remember the last time that she hadn't fallen into the water like this. So, her panic was inevitable. In these circ.u.mstances, Ian can't let her die, and he must protect her, so to provide her with some air to survive, that kiss was also inevitable. ^^
Fortunately, Hina finally calmed down after she was able to breathe. She did not dare to struggle anymore. Those who fell into the seawater always get in a panic state. Sometimes that kills the rescuer and the drowning person together, and she knew that.
Feeling that the suction of the water current was slowly decreasing, Ian swung his legs and pushed towards the surface. In fact, he couldn't hold his breath anymore.
At this time, the third Battles.h.i.+p was approaching, searching for the drowning people. At that time, there were not only Ian and Hina on the spade's s.h.i.+p, but also some marine soldiers who were fainted by Ace's Haoshoku Haki. These marines were awoken by the icy seawater, desperately floating on the surface and shouting for help.
“Huu Haaa!” When they reached the surface, Ian and Hina both took a long breath.
Pulling out the Devil-Blade Yamato from his waist and lifting it up high, the next second, Ian unleashed a huge amount of Nen and ignited the whole blade. The blazing fire was so eye-catching in the dark night. When the soldiers on the wars.h.i.+p saw it, they immediately put down the lifeboat and rowed towards Ian and Hina.
“Thank you…” Hina gasped and whispered to Ian, “But… When exactly will you move your hand?”
Ian froze for a second, and then found that his hand was still on Hina's chest, so he quickly moved it down to her waist, said: “I'm sorry!! I'm sorry!!”
However, even though she said this, Ian recalled that feeling just now. Hina had been wearing a burgundy-purple marine uniform, so far, Ian found out that her uniform was hiding a lot! It felt bigger than he thought.
Hina didn't say another word. She was a mature woman. She wouldn't be blushed and red-faced for such a trivial matter. She could understand that he had no choice before.
After getting on the lifeboat and returning to the marine wars.h.i.+p, Hina and Ian were relieved and relaxed…
