**Chapter 35: Things That Cannot Be Changed**

Walking out of the tavern, the quiet street was bathed in pale moonlight, giving it a unique charm.

Kaizen walked alone to the beach house, finishing the rum in his hand in just a few sips.

There's nothing like a night of drinking and reflection.

The streets reminded him of those on the island where he first lived.

Memories flooded Kaizen's mind. He wondered how everyone was doing on the new island and if Xiao Ai's tavern had been built.

He missed them a bit.

But the road ahead felt long, and he couldn't help but think about his future.

Kaizen reached the beach, lost in thought, and saw Enel squatting at the cabin's door, humming a little tune.

"I've been waiting for you so long, I started calling you a b*****d in my head."

As soon as Enel saw Kaizen approaching leisurely, he stood up and pointed at him seriously.

"Why aren't you asleep? Why wait here?" Kaizen asked, thinking Enel should be in bed.

"I got up to pee and found you missing. I thought you were gone forever! B*****d!"

Enel walked up and punched Kaizen lightly. This complaint made Kaizen a little heartbroken.

As he got closer, Kaizen noticed Enel's face was stained with tears.

After so many lonely nights, Enel finally found someone willing to accompany him, and he feared losing that suddenly.

Tonight, the stars weren't visible, but they were still there in their dreams.

The next morning was sunny again.

"Brother, I don't know why, but after we built this cabin, I feel full of strength. I suddenly have a sense of belonging."

Enel stood confidently with his hands on his hips.

Kaizen looked up while sharpening a wooden stick and smiled.

"Then tell me, what is a sense of belonging?"

"A sense of belonging? It's like when I collect shells all day and come back with a full load. It must be like that."

Enel asked eagerly.

Kaizen nodded, focused on his task.

"If you don't answer, does that mean you agree or disagree? It's really a headache."

Enel pouted, staring at Kaizen, looking both naughty and cute.

"Hahahaha! You little rascal." Kaizen reached out and tousled his hair, just as the sun shone on them.

The rolling waves, the cabin, the sunshine, the coast, and the two of them created a picture of love so beautiful it seemed timeless.

There are moments in life that give you goosebumps, making them unforgettable, wishing you could stay in them forever.

"Okay, with your interference, the fishing rod is finally ready."

Kaizen put down his tools, blew away the sawdust, and admired the finished product.

"What! It looks really ugly. It's far worse than the ones in town."

Enel teased with a smile.

"Whether it works depends on if it catches fish. Today, I'll show you."

Kaizen wouldn't tolerate anyone mocking his fishing rod, even a kid.

"Let's go!"

Kaizen and Enel set off on a simple wooden boat, heading to the back of the island to fish.

"Why go far away? Why not fish near the town?"

Enel asked, puzzled, sitting cross-legged on the boat.

"Because the fish near town have gotten smart and don't bite easily. Even if they do, they're just small fry."

Kaizen explained while adjusting the fishing line.

"I see." Enel pretended to understand, though it was unclear if he really did.

Fishing requires concentration and patience. If you're too focused on results, you lose the enjoyment.

"When are we going back?" Enel asked impatiently after reaching their destination.

"It's still early," Kaizen replied casually.

"What's for dinner tonight?" Enel asked.

"Fish, whatever we catch," Kaizen replied comfortably.

"What if we catch nothing?" Enel wondered, looking at the calm sea.

"Then find a way to catch some," Kaizen replied confidently.

"Brother, this is boring!" Enel eventually complained.

"Really?"

"Yes."

"Close your eyes, take a deep breath, and feel the sun and ocean. Maybe it won't be boring."

Enel did as told.

"Still boring."

"Then try again. Listen, you'll face many boring moments in life. Don't be defeated by them. Learn to manage and use them."

Listening to Kaizen, Enel almost fell asleep.

"Are you listening?" Kaizen asked.

"Your words are hard to understand, like bitter medicine. I don't want to hear them."

Enel looked troubled.

"Enel, actually, I want to tell you, you have to be kind..."

Suddenly, Kaizen stopped. Looking at Enel's innocent face, he couldn't say those words.

If a mistake happens, how can you ask about it before it's made?

It seemed paradoxical, unnecessary, against common sense.

Kaizen wanted to help Enel, hoping he wouldn't become the ruthless god of Skypiea. He knew his hope might fail, but he couldn't help but try.

The world's law is that even if you know the outcome, you may not change it. Trying might disrupt balance, causing harm.

Even as a time traveler, Kaizen shouldn't ignore Enel's feelings or interfere with his heart. It's too domineering.

"Hey, forget it," Kaizen sighed.

"What?" Enel asked curiously.

"Just be yourself," Kaizen said calmly.

"I've always been myself!" Enel said confidently.

"Hey! A fish bit the hook!" Kaizen said, eyes on the water.

"Really? Today's dinner is here," Enel exclaimed, watching the sea.

"Wait, let it relax."

Kaizen waited a moment, then reeled in the line. A colorful fish leaped from the water.

Enel cheered excitedly.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Suddenly, a series of explosions sounded from the island.

Kaizen and Enel turned immediately.

"What happened on the island?"

Seeing thick smoke rising from the town, they sensed something was wrong.
