NOVEL NEXT Chapter 32: 032 Nami and Nojko, Message
In the distance, a small figure was hiding behind the orange tree, looking at the backs of Lynch and Bellmere with a blushing face.
Little Nami couldn't hear what they were saying, but when she saw her adoptive mother being pressed to the ground and being pinched down, she vaguely seemed to understand something.
"Bellmere... found me a stepfather?!"
"Hey, Nami, what are you looking at?"
A small figure suddenly tapped Nami from behind, startling her. Nami quickly grabbed the girl and covered her mouth.
"Shh! Don't make any noise, Nojiko. Remember the little book we read last time? Bellmere is doing shameful things with a man."
"What? In broad daylight..."
Nojiko's words came to an abrupt end. It was because the actions of the two people were too easy for people to misunderstand.
Bellmere lay on the ground with her butt raised, while Lynch, behind her, pressed her legs with his calves and pinched the back of her neck with his hands.
"Wow, Bellmere is actually... so bold."
No, we can't let Nami follow her example and go astray.
Nojiko grabbed Nami's arm and dragged her away forcefully.
On the other side:
"Madam, you don't want your daughters to starve with nothing to eat, do you?"
"Madam, you don't want your daughters to live without enough food and clothing, do you?"
Bellmere's face turned pale at Lynch's words. "What exactly do you want?"
"It's simple. Follow me into the woods and do as I say."
The cute faces of Nami and Nojiko flashed in Bellmere's mind. She gritted her teeth and said,
"Okay, I'll listen to you."
Bellmere was taken into the woods by Lynch just as Nami and Nojiko jumped out from behind the orange tree.
"Oh, Bellmere, she's really... It's broad daylight, so she must be... too excited."
"Nah, you shouldn't say that about Bellmere. Maybe he just went to talk," Nami retorted to Nojiko.
Despite their young age, thanks to Bellmere's influence as a woman with an unusually open personality, Nami and Nojiko are already quite knowledgeable in that certain of thing
"Tch, your mother has to go deep into the woods to talk. Are they discussing the world secrets or what?"
Nojiko worried about her adoptive mother suddenly looking for a man.
What if he's a bad person?
Half an hour... One hour...
Bellmere and Lynch still hadn't come out for two full hours, and Nojiko couldn't help but worry aloud:
"It's been two hours. Can Bellmere's body bear it?"
Nami was going crazy
"Why is your little head full of thoughts?" At this time, Lynch's figure finally appeared again.
He thought about the information he got from Bellmere.
Thanks to Bellmere's information, he learned more than he ever expected.
The easiest place for him to become king is actually in West Blue.
West Blue, known as the most chaotic sea area in the world, has few experts.
In one sentence, it's like a bunch of inexperienced rookies having fun but also causing trouble.
As a result, most kingdoms in West Blue are in dire straits, with both the kings and the people facing difficult lives.
Many kings who only care about pleasure are even willing to sell their thrones for money.
But there are quite a few such kings in West Blue.
He could have become king through legitimate means.
"Well, it looks like becoming king is easier than I thought."
He straightened his clothes and walked out of the woods.
The fight with Bellmere just now caused the cloak of justice to become crooked.
Bellmere was even more embarrassed. The earlier scuffle had dirtied her clothes, and now the dried mud was uncomfortably clinging to her body.
She couldn't remove the clothes, and without them, she would have nothing else to wear.
"You two little guys, have been watching the excitement for so long, come out."
Lynch, who has a good sense of observation haki, immediately spotted the two little guys.
"Wow, how did you find us?" Nami and Nojiko emerged boldly.
"You're Nami and Nojiko, so adorable," Lynch smiled and gently touched their foreheads.
"What should we call you?" Nami blinked her watery eyes, curious.
"Call me daddy."
What a surprise!
The two little ones were completely shocked.
"Dad..."
Just as Nami was hesitating whether to call him dad, a fist was waving and struck from the side.
"Asshole, don't teach bad things to children!"
Bellmere angrily said: "Don't listen to his nonsense, call him 'brother'."
"Haha, don't be so serious, it was just a joke."
Lynch knelt down and gently rubbed Nami's cheek.
"Young Nami is so adorable, here's a gift from your big brother."
A valuable ruby brooch was pinned to Nami's chest.
"Wow! It's so beautiful!"
Nami's eyes sparkled. She hugged Lynch and kissed him on the cheek. "Thank you, brother. Actually, I wouldn't mind if you wanted to date Bellmere."
"You idiot!"
Veins bulged on Bellmere's forehead. This girl had been bribed with a ruby brooch.
Nojiko looked at Nami with envy.
"By the way, you two also get something."
Lynch handed two rings and a large pile of gold coins to Bellmere and Nojiko.
"Exchange the gold coins for Beli; it should be enough for you to eat for a few years. Buy more food and clothes for the children, and let's see how they can fatten up,"
Lynch remarked, noticing the difficult life the mother and daughter had. Their clothes were all patched and they looked very thin.
Thinking back, Nami developed a strong desire for money as she grew up, perhaps because she experience poverty from her childhood.
It's not that he doesn't want to give too much; he still understands the consequences of greed.
There are no walls without cracks in this world.
"Thank you, brother,"
Nojiko's sweet voice sounded happy after receiving the gift.
"You're welcome, your welcome."
The money was a huge help to Bellmere, who felt guilty for not being able to provide Nami and Nojiko with a better living environment.
Suddenly, she found the man in front of her not so hatefull.
"Alright, let's meet again when fate allows, Nami."
Lynch playfully rubbed Nami's little face.
He had to admit, Nami was adorable as a child.
Almost enough to turn him into a human trafficker.
Before leaving, he suddenly remembered something, "Oh, and if you ever meet a fish-man named Arlong in the future, tell him a guy named Nighthawk sent him a message. Give him this message: 'If you want to live, be honest.'"
"Alright then,"
Bellmere thought the man was talking nonsense, but still wrote it down.
Lynch seemed quite mysterious to her.
As they left, the warship departed with a ship filled with oranges.
"Did you finish all those oranges you bought?" Smoker took a bite of a sugar orange.
"It's fine. When you have money, eat one and toss two away."
"....." Smoker just stared silently.
Can we still talk happily together?
The mission of coming to East Blue has basically been completed.
Next, he just needs to meet two more people, send Hina home, and then he can go back.
Just have Smoker send one of his subordinates to deliver the gift Garp gave to Luffy.
