Phoenix Reborn In One Piece

Time flies, and six months passed in the blink of an eye.

During these six months, Ryuen helped Bellemere with work during the day and woke up early every day to train his body.

After all, Arlong was a potential enemy, and with his current strength, he couldn't be careless.

On land, Ryuen wasn't worried about fighting Arlong.

But if Arlong managed to escape into the sea, it would be troublesome, so Ryuen had to make sure he could defeat him in one strike!

Unfortunately, Bellemere didn't have the training methods for Marine Rokushiki. If Ryuen could learn one or two techniques, he could definitely defeat Arlong in seconds!

Bellemere said that in East Blue, only the Marine base in Loguetown might have the training methods for Rokushiki.

Loguetown... Ryuen didn't dare to go there now.

The base commander there was a Marine Headquarters Colonel, and Ryuen wasn't sure if he could defeat him.

His close combat skills were too weak now, unless he wanted to burn down the base.

If he did that, Garp might come back to East Blue to cause trouble for him, and it could also implicate Bellemere and the others.

"Ryuen! Ryuen! We can go to sea!" Nami found Ryuen in the orange grove.

Every morning, Ryuen trained in an open area of the orange grove.

Hearing Nami, Ryuen put down the two five-hundred-pound boulders he was holding.

This had been going on for six months. It started with two hundred pounds, now five hundred pounds, and Nami was used to it.

"Nami, did Bellemere agree to let us go to sea?" Ryuen asked, puzzled.

Nami had been thinking about going to sea for a long time. She had been planning it and only told Ryuen, not even Nojiko knew.

"Of course not, but today Bellemere and Nojiko went to the village to work and won't be back until evening." Nami said excitedly.

"Huh? If Bellemere finds out, we'll be in big trouble." Ryuen didn't expect Nami to be so bold.

Bellemere could be quite scary when she was angry!

The two little ones getting scolded!

"Oh, we just won't let them know. I calculated it, with your speed, we'll be back by evening!" Nami didn't want to miss this chance.

Who knew when the next opportunity to go to sea would come.

"Alright, I'll go change clothes and bring a weapon just in case." Ryuen thought for a moment and agreed.

"Yay! Let's go back quickly!" Nami was so excited that she dragged Ryuen home.

Ryuen was also a bit excited. Spending all day with kids made him feel like he was a child again.

After changing clothes and taking the sword Bellemere gave him, Ryuen and Nami went to the other side of Cocoyasi Village to the beach.

There was usually no one there, making it a good place for them to leave quietly.

"Nami, stay away from me for a bit." Ryuen asked gently.

"Okay, transform quickly, Ryuen." Nami answered seriously and then stepped back a dozen meters.

Seeing Nami at a safe distance, Ryuen prepared to transform. When he turned into his full beast form, his body would be covered in blazing flames.

With a muffled boom, an eight-meter-long phoenix with a twenty-meter wingspan, covered in blazing flames, appeared in front of Nami.

"Wow!!"

"Cool~~~"

Even though she had seen it many times, Nami still felt amazed when she saw Ryuen's full beast form.

Ryuen retracted the flames on his body, squatted down, and Nami skillfully ran and jumped onto Ryuen's back.

"Nami, hold on tight, we're taking off!"

"Okay, I'm holding on tight, let's go, Ryuen!!"

Nami sat on Ryuen's back, holding onto him with her left hand and making a departure gesture with her right hand. Her cute cheeks were flushed with excitement.

"Let's go!"

With a whoosh, Ryuen flapped his wings and took Nami high into the sky!

"Wow!"

"This is so exciting!!"

"Hahahaha~~"

Once they were high in the sky, little Nami laughed heartily on Ryuen's back.

"Nami, which direction should we fly?"

"Um~ to the right, yes, at this angle, just keep flying, hehe!"

"Okay, Nami, I'm going to speed up!"

"I'm holding on tight, let's go, Ryuen!!"

Nami lay flat on Ryuen's back, her face full of joy and excitement.

Whoosh~~ whoosh~~~

Ryuen's speed was as fast as lightning, and Cocoyasi Village quickly disappeared from their sight!

"Nami, where are we going this time?"

"Oykot Kingdom!"

"What? Oykot Kingdom?"

"Yes, that's the place!"

"Okay, I got it."

Hearing Nami say they were going to Oykot Kingdom, Ryuen didn't know what to say for a moment.

Oykot Kingdom was Nami and Nojiko's hometown. Nine years ago, Bellemere adopted Nami and Nojiko there.

He didn't know if Nami chose this place on purpose or by coincidence.

This country was destroyed more than ten years ago and had become a wasteland.

Now, very few people lived in Oykot Kingdom.

"Ryuen, what's wrong?"

"Oh, nothing. By the way, Nami, why did you think of going to Oykot Kingdom?"

"Um~~ because this island is the closest to us, so I wanted to check it out."

"Well... do you know that Oykot Kingdom is a destroyed country?"

"Huh??? A destroyed country?"

Ryuen was embarrassed for a moment. It turned out Nami didn't know, and she didn't know it was her hometown.

It seemed Bellemere hadn't told Nami about this.

"Yes, I heard it was destroyed more than ten years ago. Now it's just a wasteland. Nami, do we still want to go there?"

"Um~~ since we're already out, and I prepared for this trip to Oykot Kingdom, it's too late to change the destination now!"

"Alright, I got it, Nami."

Nami had secretly prepared for this trip for half a year.

It wasn't until they set off that Ryuen knew the destination, but it didn't matter to go once.

After more than two hours of flying, a huge island appeared in Ryuen's sight.

"Nami, look, is it the island below?"

"Let me see, let me see!"

Finally seeing the island, Nami was very excited.

This was the first time Nami saw a second island besides her home island.

She took out a map from her backpack, along with a chart she drew herself, and finally confirmed that the island below was their destination.

"Yes! This is it, Ryuen, let's go down!" Nami said seriously as she put away the map.

"Okay~ I'm descending now, hold on tight!"

Ryuen dived down towards the Oykot Kingdom.

Whoosh~~~

The wind speed was very fast as they descended.

Nami's hair was blown up by the wind.
