Chapter 15
Zoro immediately followed.
Nami also looked at the ruins and said nothing. She was compassionate to ordinary people, but this was limited to the Cocosia Village.
Finally, they boarded Nami’s boat at the dock and set off directly to Xiluobu Village.
Of course, some food was prepared before that, which was essential.
After arriving on the ship, Luffy continued to talk about his ideas for the new ship as if nothing had happened before.
Xia Chen also took a rare break. He poured a glass of rum and came to the upper platform.
It was also the position of the rudder, and Nami was steering the rudder.
The latter immediately perked up and looked at the man in front of him carefully.
“What are you going to do?”
“Hey, I’m the deputy captain, respect me a little, okay!” Xia Chen took a sip of wine and leaned on the railing.
“Yes, then, the deputy captain, I don’t know if you have any instructions.” Nami squeezed out a smile on her face.
“It’s the same question you didn’t answer before. Nami, you have stolen from me several times.”
“No, don’t wrongly accuse a good person! We are all in the same boat, why bother about these things…” Nami argued, but for some reason, Xia Chen’s eyes suddenly became extremely deep, making her shut up involuntarily.
Moral blackmail me?
We are pirates, what morality!
Xia Chen continued the previous topic.
“I remember it very clearly, once on the pirate ship of Alrita, once at the 153 Naval Base, and once at the circus in Orange Town. There is a saying in our hometown, called three times, once more than three times…” Xia Chen’s voice was leisurely, and he paused deliberately.
Nami’s hairs all stood up, looking at the other party’s white teeth.
“What are you going to do?”
“Do it!” Xia Chen’s reaction was completely instinctive.
After all, he had been sailing on the sea in his previous life, and he would lose the network from time to time, so he had to find something else to kill time, so he was originally very pure and healthy, but his mind was polluted by those unscrupulous teammates.
But Nami didn’t understand, this joke doesn’t exist in this world.
“Of course it’s to collect debts, so how are you going to repay it?”
This sentence stimulated Nami’s sensitive nerves, and her face immediately darkened, considering the outrageous gap in strength between her and Xia Chen.
He glanced at it, and was crazy on the splint, drawing with a drawing, and I don’t know what Luffy was doing, and Zoro who was exercising next to him and didn’t pay any attention to this side.
There was some despair in my heart, I really got on a pirate ship!
“I will pay you back, but you have to give me some time. I, Nami, will keep my word.”
“Okay, after all, we are partners on the same boat, so I won’t make it difficult for you. Although I don’t know how much you have gained, I will round it off and take an average of 100 million Baileys.”
“Ah?” Nami opened her mouth involuntarily, and her sensitive nerves immediately broke.
Zoro, who had been training, glanced over here. If he remembered correctly, all the captured goods would be public in the future, and then he continued to do his own thing.
“Go to hell!” A stream of hot tears flowed from Nami’s eyes, and she punched Xia Chen’s head, but how could Xia Chen let her succeed easily? Holding a rum glass in his hand, he dodged easily like a top dancer.
When Nami drew out his weapon, Xia Chen summoned a stream of water and trapped Nami in a very artistic posture.
Nami struggled, but to no avail. Apart from completely soaking her clothes, the water flow lifted up the short sleeves on her left arm, revealing the blue tattoo of the Fishman Pirates.
“Hey, this logo…”
“Shut up, shut up.” Nami was desperate. She no longer thought about breaking free, but tried her best to cover up the logo that represented humiliation and hatred.
But Xia Chen’s control of the water flow was becoming more and more profound. How could she do it?
Then Nami watched Xia Chen getting closer and closer. Her pupils contracted and then opened. She no longer resisted and murmured: Please, please don’t…
Because of some special reasons.
The Fishman Pirates were not well-known in the East China Sea. After all, the Navy wanted to win over Jinbei, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.
There were also 16 branches of rat colonels cooperating. Anyone who knew the Fishman Pirates knew how cruel they were.
Nami was very worried that Xia Chen would expose this news. After all, because of the influence of the fishmen on Nami since she was a child, although she kept accumulating hatred in her heart, those fishmen killed humans mercilessly again and again.
It also made her always believe that humans also have an innate hatred for fishmen. Now that she is a member of the fishman pirate group, she will never end up well.field.
But she could only helplessly watch Xia Chen approaching, but what she didn’t expect was.
“You have to learn to be sincere, Miss Nami.” Xia Chen said as he gently placed his hand on the tattoo on Nami’s left arm, “Water Style: Water Backflow!”
A stinging pain like a knife cut came from the arm engraved with the tattoo, but Nami didn’t scream, but stared at the man in front of her blankly.
Sword-like eyebrows, starry eyes, high nose bridge, strong body, giving people a strong sense of security, especially her eyes that seemed to wrap around the sea of stars, so deep that people could not extricate themselves at a glance.
Finally, the stinging disappeared, followed by a soft and warm feeling.
But she didn’t look at her arm, her eyes were all on Xia Chen, her heartbeat was getting faster and faster, and then she saw Xia Chen casually throw a group of colorful water balls in his hand down, as if accidentally hitting the drawing in front of Luffy.
“Hey, my pirate flag, Xia Chen, what are you doing?”
“Captain, your painting is really ugly!” Xia Chen jumped down directly, and Nami’s eyes were always locked on the latter’s back.
“Ugly? You are talking nonsense, Makino said that my painting skills can rank in the top 10 in the entire East China Sea.”
“Don’t believe it, give me the pen.”
“Give it to me!”
“I want to see what you can draw.” Luffy handed all kinds of paints and brushes to Xia Chen dissatisfiedly, and then he saw Xia Chen’s hands flying like butterflies, directly on the black flag, painted a vivid straw hat skull pattern.
Then Luffy immediately became “Xia Chen blowing”.
Nami also curled the corners of her mouth, and then she paid attention to her right arm, which was as clean as before, and there were some water droplets, and the clothes on her body were also dried and warm.
She stroked her arm unconsciously, muttering to herself: “Bellmaire, I seem to owe a huge debt.”
Since adopting her adoptive mother, Nami has never been as peaceful as she is today, and she has never felt that the stars that were just direction indicators in her eyes before are so bright and charming.
Zoro, who has always been paying attention to Nami or guarding against her, obviously felt the change in the latter.
The other party has changed from being infinitely wary of Xia Chen to being attached to him?
He doesn’t understand why there is such a change, and of course he is not interested. At least now it can be confirmed that Nami will not be half-hearted about their pirate group.
It’s good news, the vice captain is worthy of being the vice captain!
However, he still thinks that Xia Chen’s behavior is a bit inappropriate. How can a strong man be tied down by a woman?
Little did he know that if there is no woman in his heart, he will be a god when he draws his sword.
Uh… The vice captain seems to be playing a long-range game, so there is no problem.
In the evening, Luffy wants to hold a banquet to welcome Nami’s official joining.
But Xia Chen refused because of insufficient materials, because he knew that this was not the most appropriate time.
But he did not see the sadness in Nami’s eyes.
Around 10 o’clock in the morning of the second day.
Finally arrived, Xiluobu Village!
