Phoenix Reborn In One Piece

Even with Ryuen's help, the four of them were busy until evening to finish the day's work.

Nami and Nojiko

"Ah~"

"Finally done, Bellemere, can I eat a lot of meat tonight?" Nami hopped like a little rabbit to Bellemere.

"Sure~ I asked Genzo to buy meat early, tonight you can eat as much as you want~" Bellemere responded gently.

Although she was tired from a whole day's work, seeing the bright smiles on the kids' faces made her feel happy too.

"Yay! Let's go home quickly, Bellemere!" Hearing that she could eat a lot of meat today, Nami jumped up happily.

"Nami, be careful, there are still tools on the ground!" Ryuen reminded her while quickly picking up the scattered tools.

Seeing this, Bellemere thought Ryuen would grow up to be a very reliable man.

"Nojiko, what should we do with these oranges?" Nojiko looked at the three baskets of oranges on the ground and couldn't help but worry.

They picked three baskets of oranges today, which are to be sold to the merchants tomorrow morning.

"It's okay, I'll carry one basket back now, and I'll ask Genzo to help with the rest later." Bellemere said softly, then bent down to pick up a basket of oranges.

"No need, Bellemere, I'll take these two baskets!" Ryuen quickly said, his tone firm and confident.

"No, you can't carry them, and your injuries just healed. I'll come back for them later..."

But before Bellemere could finish her sentence, she saw Ryuen reach out with both hands, easily lifting a basket of oranges in each hand!

"Wow~~" Nami exclaimed, her mouth wide open, her face full of disbelief. "Ryuen, you're amazing!"

She shouted excitedly, her eyes shining with admiration.

Nojiko was equally surprised.

She widened her eyes and murmured, "Cool~ Ryuen, you're stronger than Bellemere!"

Although Bellemere was also very surprised, she had been a Marine and had seen many people with amazing strength.

So she quickly regained her composure, smiled at Ryuen, and nodded in approval.

Feeling everyone's gaze, Ryuen showed a proud smile.

He placed the two baskets of oranges steadily on the ground, then turned to Bellemere and said, "See, I told you it's no problem. Don't worry, you can give me any heavy or hard work in the future, I'm very strong!"

After saying that, he deliberately waved his arm to show off his muscles.

Bellemere looked at Ryuen's cute and confident appearance and couldn't help but laugh.

She gently patted Ryuen's shoulder and said softly, "Thank you, Ryuen. But also take care of your body, don't push yourself too hard."

Ryuen chuckled and nodded.

Then he picked up the two baskets of oranges again and followed Bellemere towards the house.

Nami and Nojiko quickly followed.

The evening sun shone on them, creating a warm and beautiful scene.

Halfway there, the four of them met Genzo, who came to help.

"Ah~ I'm sorry, Bellemere, I'm late. Let me take the oranges..."

Genzo hadn't finished his sentence when he saw Ryuen holding the two baskets of oranges, almost dropping his jaw in surprise!

"Genzo, look, Ryuen is stronger than you~" Nami boasted to Genzo.

"Hahaha~ Genzo, just help Ryuen with one basket, let's go back quickly." Bellemere laughed at Genzo's incredulous expression.

After all, even she wasn't as strong as Genzo.

"Ryuen, you're still young, how can you carry such heavy things? Give me one basket!" Genzo said, pretending to be serious.

After all, he was an adult and wouldn't admit that he was weaker than Ryuen.

"Okay, Genzo." Ryuen smiled and handed one basket of oranges to Genzo.

Genzo chuckled and took the oranges. The five of them walked home, bathed in the last rays of the setting sun.

Back at Bellemere's place, Bellemere got busy again, and Genzo went into the kitchen to help.

Usually, Genzo didn't eat at Bellemere's place.

But today was special because Ryuen had woken up and become one of them.

Meanwhile, the three kids were outside on the lawn, wiping three baskets of oranges to sell them for a good price the next morning.

In the world of One Piece, the life of common people was just this simple.

After a day's hard work, they could only manage to have enough to eat.

Each island wasn't very big, resources were scarce, and some supplies had to be brought in by trade ships from other islands.

But now that Ryuen was here, he would make sure they had meat to eat every day in the future!

"Ryuen, since you can fly, can you take me flying too?" Nami asked quietly, her eyes twinkling.

Nojiko, who was beside them, also perked up her ears to listen to Ryuen's reply.

"Of course, but I don't know the directions, and I can't see a sea chart. If we get lost at sea, we won't be able to come back," Ryuen said softly.

"I know the way, I know the way!"

"Ryuen, take me flying in the future, let's go out to sea together, okay?" Nami was very excited.

If Ryuen could take her out to sea, she could visit many islands and draw lots of sea charts!

Ryuen realized, oh right, Nami was the best navigator!

Nojiko was also happy to hear that Ryuen could take Nami flying.

But she didn't show it as obviously as Nami.

"Hey, Nami, keep your voice down. Bellemere won't agree to you going out to sea," Nojiko whispered.

"Yeah, yeah! We just won't let Bellemere know. Ryuen, remember to take me out to sea!" Nami whispered to Ryuen.

"I know, I'll definitely take you out to sea in the future," Ryuen promised Nami.

Just kidding, if he didn't take Nami, he would probably only be able to wander around Cocoyasi Village.

Otherwise, if he went to farther seas, he wouldn't be able to find his way.

Ships in the Four Seas navigated using sea charts, unlike the Grand Line, which had Log Poses.

Hearing Ryuen agree, Nami was very happy, and so was Nojiko. The three of them worked much faster after that.

"Nami, Nojiko, Ryuen, dinner's ready!" Bellemere called from the door.

"Yay!"

"Dinner time!"

"Alright! Coming!" the three kids answered in unison.

They had just finished wiping the oranges, and Ryuen and Bellemere moved them into the storage.

"Wow!"

"So much meat!" Nami's eyes lit up as she looked at the pile of meat with bones.

Once Ryuen and Bellemere sat down, the family started eating ravenously.

There were even scenes of adults grabbing meat from kids and kids grabbing meat from adults.

Ryuen felt so happy and warm experiencing this atmosphere for the first time, so he joined in the meat-grabbing.

Everyone had a big appetite!

After dinner, the three kids were so tired that they fell asleep right away.

Bellemere just put the three little ones on one bed and left them there.

Looking at the three kids sleeping with bubbles coming out of their noses, Bellemere showed a gentle smile.
