Chapter 101 Farewell
Thinking of how Lin Hai was going crazy just now, and knowing that Luffy isn't someone with self-control, Nami quickly stopped him, saying, "What game are you playing? Dinner is almost ready, stop playing."
Seeing Nami giving him a look, Sanji also advised, "Luffy, you just recovered from your injuries, you should rest first."
Lin Hai laughed and said, "Luffy, don't listen to them talking nonsense. There's still some time until dinner. You don't know, the game I played with Zoro just now was really interesting, it was a lot of fun! Right, Zoro?"
Before Zoro could answer, Luffy couldn't hold back anymore. "Lin Hai, quickly tell me what game it is, let's play a bit first."
Soon, Luffy was arranging the poker cards into a large triangle. After arranging for a while, it collapsed. After doing this twice, Luffy's state was exactly like Lin Hai's earlier, scratching his hair, then messing up the poker cards...
Everyone looked blankly at the frustrated Luffy...
Chopper said, "It's over, Luffy is just like Lin Hai."
Nami: "Now I believe Lin Hai is Luffy's brother!"
Sanji: "The Sea is truly full of wonders."
Usopp: "No wonder they came from the same village..."
The frustrated Luffy suddenly smelled the aroma of food, instantly forgetting his current troubles. Luffy instantly revived and said, "It's time to eat!"
Lin Hai exclaimed, "Luffy, you haven't finished experiencing that feeling yet, come back!!"
"That's enough, you idiot!!" Everyone shouted in unison.
...
As soon as the dishes arrived, Luffy went into 搶奪 (搶奪) mode. He wasn't eating; he wasn't even swallowing.
Zoro: "Luffy, you have so much right next to you, why are you trying to steal mine!"
Usopp: "Luffy, you bastard, you're stealing my food again! Then let me add more spice!"
Nami said angrily, "Don't come over..."
After speaking, Nami turned her head and asked, "Vivi, aren't you going to eat with us?"
Vivi waved her hand and said, "I've already eaten. This is a treat specifically for you..."
Just then, Luffy turned his head to look at Lin Hai: "Hmm hmm hmm..."
Lin Hai leisurely said, "I say, Luffy, what kind of behavior is that? Are you even eating? Don't even think about my noodles!"
Luffy: "Hmm hmm hmm..."
Lin Hai rolled his eyes and said, "Get lost, get your own later if you want to eat. If you dare to reach your hand over, I'll take your hat and sell it!"
Luffy's eyes bulged: "Pfft, nani?!!"
Sanji gave him a kick, "You're disgusting, you idiot."
Sanji turned his head and asked, "Lin Hai, when did you start liking noodles? Didn't you used to like meat?"
Lin Hai said with a chuckle, "Actually, there's a lot of knowledge about noodles, mainly the ingredients!"
As he spoke, Lin Hai's eyes lingered meaningfully and subtly over Nami, then over Vivi...
The two girls' faces inexplicably turned red.
Meanwhile, Chopper, upon hearing this, immediately started gobbling up the noodles. "Really? Are noodles that delicious? I want some too! Damn Luffy, I definitely won't let you steal them this time, definitely..."
Before long, Usopp suddenly exclaimed, "Quick, get some water, Chopper is stuck!"
Watching this group eat like they were fighting a war, Lin Hai unhappily tapped the table with his chopsticks and said impatiently, "I say, can't you guys stop being so willful? Eating a meal, making it look like others don't know you're eating, damn it..."
He didn't finish his sentence because the noodles in the bowl had soup. Luffy, that guy, directly scooped up the noodles with his hands...
It was too terrifying!
"Luffy, believe it or not, I'll cut you down!" Zoro was really frustrated. He was eating peacefully, so why was soup suddenly pouring onto his head!
After some unknown amount of time, Luffy asked Vivi, "Vivi, we're nakama, right?"
Vivi nodded, "Yes."
Luffy invited, "Come adventure with us, the Sea is a lot of fun!"
Nami's eyes sparkled. After all, she was the only lady on the ship, and there were some things she couldn't talk about. Coupled with the time they had spent together, Nami also invited, "Vivi, come with us?"
Sanji's eyes turned into red hearts, "Vivi-san..."
Vivi smiled gently, "Everyone, thank you for your invitation. If it were before, I would go out to Sea with you. But you see the current situation, I have become a spiritual support for Alabasta. I can no longer act on impulse, I'm sorry!"
Everyone was silent for a while, but Luffy still insisted, "Vivi, won't you think about it again? We're leaving soon, but we don't want to leave you!"
Vivi subtly glanced at Lin Hai and smiled, "Luffy, even though I'm not going with you, we're still nakama, right?"
Sanji looked at Vivi with pitiful eyes, "Vivi-san..."
Lin Hai rolled his eyes dramatically and said irritably, "Can you stop acting like that? You're acting like some sort of lover boy, ugh..."
Sanji immediately bristled and said angrily, "You bastard, I'm going to kick you to death..."
"Duang..." x2
At this moment, Vivi asked, "Aren't you staying for a few more days? Are you setting sail so soon?"
Nami explained, "Our ship is still docked very far from here, we're a bit worried."
Vivi confirmed, "Then when are you planning to leave?"
Nami raised an eyebrow, "Tomorrow morning, I guess."
When one day raindrops gently tap on your window, when the wind messes up your thoughts, can you spare a moment to think of this old face?
Cough, cough. With parting imminent, Lin Hai naturally had to bid Vivi a proper farewell. As night fell, Vivi hugged Lin Hai's neck and said dreamily, "Lin Hai, I don't know when we'll see each other again after this parting. I'll miss you!"
Lin Hai replied, sweating, "I'll miss you too."
"Ah!" Vivi almost lost her composure. Coming back to her senses, she couldn't help but say coquettishly, "You bastard, with your behavior, I just hope you don't forget that there's someone in Alabasta thinking of you, you..."
Outside, a light rain had begun to fall, sometimes gently tapping on doors and windows, sometimes turning into a storm. The people of the Alabasta Kingdom had waited for this heavy rain for three long years, and today it finally arrived again!
And tonight, Vivi was a bit happier than others, especially since Lin Hai had given her many things, not just spiritual but also material...
In the early hours of the morning, looking at Vivi, whose face was as radiant as a peach blossom, Lin Hai couldn't help but ask, "We're setting sail, are you..."
Vivi smiled gently and said softly, "I'll have our 'Run Fast' here see you off."
Lin Hai nodded, "Cough, cough, uh, are you free?"
Vivi's face turned red, but she still replied, "Don't worry, although the water tank was full of rainwater last night, the water has already been taken out..."
.........Chapter 102 New Partner
On the Merry Go, the Straw Hat Crew stood in silence, with only the occasional cry of seagulls breaking the quiet. Everyone was looking at Princess Vivi sitting on Run Fast on the shore.
When people spend a long time together, they develop emotions and habits, especially with Princess Vivi, who cared so much for others. Not only was she beautiful, but she also possessed a unique charm, making the farewell moment filled with reluctance.
Finally, Lin Hai spoke, "Vivi, hurry back. Alabasta is still waiting for you."
Had this moment truly arrived? Nami on the ship and Vivi on the shore couldn't help but shed tears.
Vivi covered her mouth, choking back tears, and asked, "Everyone, we're still partners, right?"
Luffy, with tears streaming down his face, loudly replied, "Of course! Vivi, you are our partner. Even if you don't sail with us, we will always remember you!"
Sanji, like a lovesick poet, said, "Vivi-san, I will definitely remember you, boo hoo hoo..."
Vivi knew that continuing like this wouldn't work. Finally, she steeled her heart, looked at everyone a few times, especially lingering on Lin Hai, and rode Run Fast away without looking back.
And the Merry Go finally set sail!
Lin Hai glanced towards the ship's cabin, knowing Robin was already on board. However, Lin Hai didn't expose her and instead chose his spot to get a good night's sleep!
He had listened to the rain all night yesterday. If he didn't sleep now, it would affect his Lin Hai's good looks!
The ship quickly started on a new route, and the Straw Hat Crew lay dispiritedly on the second-floor deck.
Seeing them like this, Zoro couldn't help but ask, "Hey, what's wrong with you guys?"
"So lonely," everyone shouted in unison.
Zoro retorted impatiently, "If you missed Vivi so much, why didn't you just pull her onto the ship earlier?"
Upon hearing Zoro's suggestion, everyone couldn't help but retort against him...
Sanji: "Moss Head."
Nami: "How awful."
Chopper: "Barbarian."
Luffy: "Three-Sword Style."
Usopp corrected, "Luffy, Three-Sword Style isn't an insult."
Luffy: "Six-Sword Style."
Just then, a door opened, and a female voice said, "Hehe, everyone is still so energetic."
When everyone reacted, they were all in a panic.
Chopper hid behind Zoro and demanded, "How did you get on this ship? Are you here to avenge Baroque Works?"
Zoro drew his sword and pointed it at Robin, asking, "Speak, what is your purpose?"
For once, Sanji actually joined Usopp in pointing a pistol at Robin!
"Six Fleur..."
Robin used her ability to instantly subdue everyone who was confused by the situation. Robin leisurely took a deck chair, placed it somewhere, and explained, "Don't point such dangerous things at me. I have no purpose. Your Captain Monkey D. Luffy did something excessive to me, so he has to take responsibility for me."
Sanji immediately grabbed Luffy's collar and angrily said, "Luffy, what did you do to this beautiful older sister? Quickly explain clearly!"
Luffy said to Robin, speechless, "Don't talk nonsense. Did I do anything to you?"
Robin sat on the chair, propping her chin on her hand, and explained, "Yes, I had already given up on living, and you saved me."
Luffy asked, "So what do you want?"
"Hehe," Robin replied charmingly, "Now I have nowhere to go. Let me join your ship and become your partner!"
"nani?!" everyone exclaimed in unison.
Usopp was the first to object, "Luffy, no way! She was the vice-president of Baroque Works before. How can such a dangerous person become a partner?"
Nami echoed, "Usopp is right. If she joins us, we won't be able to sleep peacefully! By the way, where's Lin Hai? I don't see him."
Chopper seemed to find a sense of security and quickly looked around, searching for Lin Hai, while Zoro pointed to a spot and said, "He's been sleeping since he got on the ship!"
Sanji couldn't help but say, "He's quite comparable to you, Zoro. No, the priority now is how to deal with this woman in front of us!"
Sitting on the chair, Robin ignored the words of those next to her and elegantly met Luffy's gaze.
Just then, Luffy replied, "Okay, I agree."
"nani?!" Everyone was startled by Luffy's action.
Luffy smiled brightly and said, "Don't worry, she's not a bad person, Hehehe..."
Robin smoothed her shawl hair and smiled, "Then please take care of me from now on, Captain."
"Hahaha," Luffy laughed, "Don't worry about it, everyone relax!"
Although Luffy agreed, the others had no trust in Robin at all.
Seeing Lin Hai still sleeping there, Nami couldn't help but walk up to him angrily, "*Duang*..."
Nami put her hands on her hips and said, "Still sleeping? Get up now!"
Lin Hai sat up groggily, yawned, "Ah, another day I woke up handsome..."
Everyone's faces darkened as they looked at Lin Hai like that.
Nami said impatiently, "The vice-president of Baroque Works wants to be our partner, and you're still sleeping? Luffy agreed to her! Quickly come up with an idea and persuade Luffy!"
As Lin Hai just stood up, Robin smiled elegantly, "China. D. Lin Hai, you are so handsome!"
Lin Hai immediately became energetic, quickly took out his mirror to look, then spat on his hand to press down a protruding strand of hair, turned to look at Robin, and smiled, "You are also very beautiful!"
"Ugh..." Everyone almost vomited. What kind of habit does this stinky Lin Hai have? He always smears his spit on his hair.
Lin Hai rolled his eyes. Since time was limited, wasn't using spit to style his hair the fastest way to maintain his image? Ugh what? These people were just jealous of his Lin Hai, that's all!
At this moment, Zoro quickly jumped away, keeping his distance from Lin Hai.
Sanji couldn't help but point at Lin Hai and say, "Can't you be more hygienic, you bastard? Change this bad habit?"
Lin Hai turned his head and asked, "Are you jealous of me?"
"Who's jealous of you, you bastard," Sanji wanted to go up and punch Lin Hai.
Usopp quickly pulled Sanji back and advised, "Now is not the time to talk about this. The matter of that woman wanting to be our partner hasn't been resolved yet!"
Unexpectedly, Sanji's eyes instantly turned into hearts, he spun around, and then said to Nami and Robin, "Two beautiful ladies, I'll go make you some drinks..."
Looking at Sanji's retreating back, Zoro and Usopp's faces darkened. Forget it, they couldn't count on him at all...
.........Chapter 103 Robin blushed
Usopp said, "These guys' stances are too unstable, especially Lin Hai. As soon as someone praises him for being handsome, he goes back to sleep."
Zoro nodded, "There are only two of us left. What an unstable bunch, tsk..."
At this moment, Nami leaned against the door with her arms crossed, one foot on the railing, and said sideways, "Seriously, we were completely played by her, how useless. That guy has been the vice president of a criminal company until now. How can a woman like that become our companion?"
"Clap clap clap..." Usopp applauded from the side.
"Oh?" Zoro agreed.
Ignoring Usopp and Zoro, Nami turned to Robin and warned, "Even if you can fool those idiots, I won't be fooled. If you dare to mess around, I'll kick you off the ship."
Robin replied, "Okay, I'll keep that in mind. Speaking of which, I brought some of Crocodile's gems with me..."
Nami's expression instantly changed, and she ran behind Robin, her eyes full of money. She put her hands together next to her face and said flatteringly, "I love you, big sister."
Seeing this, Usopp and Zoro's faces darkened, "Hey, hey, hey..."
And at this moment, Sanji had already finished making the drinks and spun out directly from the kitchen, "Ah, love, wandering love, I am just that charred body, a piece of driftwood lying with the waves, struck by your beauty named lightning and fallen into the rapid current, I am a piece of driftwood! Sister Robin, please have some tea."
Robin chuckled softly, "Thank you, Sanji."
Then Sanji twisted his body on the side and muttered, "Love, love..."
Usopp said contemptuously, "This Sanji guy, I knew this would happen."
Zoro nodded, "There are only two of us left, we must hold the last fort!"
Usopp echoed, "Don't worry, Zo..."
Before he finished speaking, Luffy said from somewhere, "Hey, Usopp."
Usopp turned around with a gloomy face and asked, "What do you want!!"
With the help of Robin's Flower Flower Devil Fruit ability, Luffy simulated two antlers on his head and imitated Chopper, saying, "Chopper..."
Usopp was instantly attracted, and then, then, Usopp started messing around with Chopper and Luffy.
Zoro felt abandoned by the world! Just now he was so confident, and in the blink of an eye, he ran off to play...
However, in the end, under one of Robin's gazes, Zoro, and then, then he also fell!
...
Lin Hai, who was sleeping on the deck, didn't know how long it had been until he was awakened by a floral scent.
It turned out that Robin was tired of reading and walked over to Lin Hai to look into the distance.
Robin noticed Lin Hai looking at her and couldn't help but greet him, "You're awake?"
Lin Hai stretched lazily and replied, "I didn't expect your Devil Fruit ability to have the function of purifying the air, it's truly refreshing!"
Purifying the air?
It was the first time someone had said that about her ability, and Robin couldn't help but smile, "Do you know the meaning of the D. clan?"
"The D. clan?" Lin Hai shook his head like a rattle and replied, "I don't know about these things. Speaking of which, are you used to just joining this Pirate ship?"
Robin turned to look at Lin Hai and shook her head.
Lin Hai smiled, "It's normal to be in a new environment. Just be casual, but with your ability, you should adapt quickly. Look over there, they're just a bunch of kids, still rolling around on the deck at their age..."
At this moment, Sanji walked over and replied, "You're not much better."
As soon as he finished speaking, Sanji started spinning around, "Miss Robin, it's time to eat."
In the Merry Go restaurant.
"Eat, eat, eat..." Luffy kept shouting while holding his utensils.
Usopp: "Sanji, I want a meat bun."
Chopper: "I want potato pancakes."
Zoro: "And a bottle of sake, please."
Lin Hai: "Sanji, I want noodles, remember to add all sorts of ingredients. If it's not delicious, watch out, I'll beat you."
Sanji turned around in anger and said, "You bastards, quiet down! The food will be here soon."
"Hehehe." Robin covered her mouth and chuckled softly, "It's really lively."
Nami said diligently, "Sister Robin, what do you want to eat? I'll get it for you."
Usopp and Zoro: "Hey, hey, you definitely took her treasure, right?"
Lin Hai took out his ertou again, "Come, come, everyone gets a share."
Nami said, "Are we drinking now? Someone has to watch the ship later..."
Lin Hai smiled, "Just dock somewhere. What's the most important thing about being a Pirate?"
Luffy: "Becoming the Pirate King!"
Zoro: "World's Greatest Swordsman."
Usopp: "A brave Sea warrior."
Lin Hai quickly stopped them, "Stop! Don't talk about things so far away. The most important thing is to be free-spirited and happy in the moment. Now, we have a new companion, and a beautiful one at that, shouldn't we celebrate?"
Usopp asked doubtfully, "If we all get drunk, what if no one is watching the ship later and we deviate from the course or an enemy attacks?"
Lin Hai stepped on a chair and said, "I'll watch the ship later and just drop anchor. Anyway, it's getting dark soon. Come on, cheers, welcome Robin to be our companion..."
Everyone raised their glasses and smiled, "Welcome our new companion!"
At this moment, this Zoro guy looked at Lin Hai with a different kind of gaze again.
Lin Hai was furious, "Don't compare yourself to me, how many bottles of sake is this? And..."
Lin Hai directly grabbed Zoro's neck and lectured him, "Can't you stop being so aloof? Quickly tell Sister Robin, 'Hello, Sister Robin!'"
Zoro said anxiously, "I won't say it, you say it yourself. You must be taking revenge on me because you lost to me last time, right?"
Lin Hai was furious, "What did you say!"
Zoro provoked, "Want to compare again?"
Luffy's eyes lit up, "Count me in."
"Duang..." X3
Nami said speechlessly, "Seriously, all of you, aren't you eating?"
After dinner, it was already dark. Lin Hai sat on the small trough made of wood on the main mast, which was where the night watch was kept.
Ahem, what's there to see? It's pitch black. Who would come here to plunder?
So, on a starless night, Lin Hai began to secretly doze off!
Who would have thought that Nami would sneak up, and then the two of them would act out a scene of the epic love from the Titanic!
Lin Hai said, "Nami, spread your hands flat, tilt your head back, close your eyes, and feel the taste of the Sea breeze!"
Nami asked doubtfully, "What do you want to do?"
Lin Hai explained, "In my hometown, a pair of lovers on a giant ship did this. I want to experience it."
Nami refused, "Don't even think about it. Robin is in the room. If I'm out for too long, she'll find out!"
Lin Hai rolled his eyes. Robin already knew, okay? She was secretly watching using her Flower Flower Devil Fruit ability, but it didn't matter. Seeing Nami looking back at him with longing, what else did Lin Hai need to worry about?
Robin, in Nami's room, was just curious about what Nami was doing running out at this time. She didn't expect it to be this!
Suddenly, Robin's face was covered in blush, her breathing became unstable, her heart rate accelerated, especially the conflicting feeling of wanting to watch but not wanting to, and not watching but not being able to bear it. In the end, Robin silently continued to watch...
And Nami didn't know that someone was actually observing her.
Lin Hai originally thought that after Robin discovered them, she would withdraw her ability, but who would have thought that she would become addicted to watching? Since she liked to watch, then let her watch to her heart's content...
.........Chapter 104 This is Definitely Not Nami
The next day, Lin Hai was sound asleep on the deck, Zoro was training his body on the main mast, while Luffy, Usopp, and Chopper were fishing!
Suddenly, there was a movement on Chopper's fishing rod, and he caught a fish weighing over two pounds.
Chopper couldn't help but show off to Luffy next to him, "I caught a fish!"
Luffy praised, "You're amazing, Chopper."
Just as he finished speaking, there was also a movement on Usopp's fishing rod. Feeling the strength on the rod, Usopp exclaimed in surprise, "I caught a big one!"
"Really?" Chopper and Luffy said in surprise.
Usopp used all his strength and finally reeled in the fish, only to find it was the size of a thumb.
Luffy said disdainfully, "This is a big one? It's not even enough to get stuck in my teeth."
"Less nonsense," Usopp retorted, unconvinced. "You haven't even caught a single fish yet!"
Luffy replied, "Watch me, I can definitely catch one!"
At this moment, Sanji came out of the kitchen. "Miss Nami, I made you a glass of juice that helps with beauty and makes your skin smoother."
Beauty? Smooth skin?
Nami couldn't help but glance in the direction Lin Hai was sleeping, her face flushing.
As soon as they heard Sanji's words, Luffy and the others who were fishing simultaneously said, "We want some too!"
Sanji said disdainfully, "What do you guys need such smooth skin for?"
Just as he finished speaking, there was a movement on Luffy's fishing rod. Sure enough, he caught a giant snail, and then, and then it hit Lin Hai on the head!
Lin Hai, who was sound asleep, was startled awake and said groggily, "Nami, did you hit me again?"
Next to him, Nami's face darkened!
"Crack," the center of the giant snail opened, and out came a salesman with Brow and dressed formally.
Lin Hai asked in confusion, "Who are you? Did you attack me just now?"
The man stood up straight and introduced himself, "Excuse me, allow me to introduce myself. I am a salesman, Rice. Because I encountered a strong storm at Sea, I was shipwrecked. Thank you for saving me!"
"Saved you?" Lin Hai asked in confusion.
Usopp explained, "Luffy fished him up!"
As expected of a salesman, Rice quickly introduced his products and started doing business.
At this moment, Nami stepped forward and asked, "Excuse me, do you sell paper?"
Rice: "Paper?"
Nami explained, "That's right, large and tough paper that won't be blown away even by the Sea wind."
Rice suddenly understood and immediately said excitedly, "Leave it to me!"
Saying that, Rice took out a large stack of white paper and explained, "This is the highest quality Millennium Paper. It won't be eaten by insects and won't change color even if left in the sun for a thousand years! It's most suitable for making family trees and drawing treasure maps!"
Luffy asked curiously, "Can it be used to make paper airplanes?"
Rice broke out in a sweat. "You can, but it would be too wasteful!"
Nami examined the white paper and asked without hesitation, "How much?"
Luffy asked in confusion, "Are you buying it?"
Nami replied, "Of course."
Since she was a child, Nami's dream was to draw maps of the places she had been. Drawing maps requires good quality paper, so naturally, she had to buy it now that she had encountered it!
And when Rice saw Nami like this, he secretly thought he had found a big spender!
Based on past experience, Rice replied, "This is not easy. This is a very rare and valuable item. Even if you place an order now, it will take 5 to 10 years to get the goods!"
Nami said gently, "Can you sell those to me first? I'll pay whatever the price is!"
Luffy said in disbelief, "nani!!"
Usopp held his head in his hands and said, "Nami, who doesn't even eat to count Belly, actually!!"
Zoro was sweating profusely and said, "Nami, who loves money like her life....."
"Actually said she'll pay whatever the price is!!" everyone shouted in unison.
Sanji next to them said speechlessly, "It's not that exaggerated, is it?"
Sanji, who had reacted, turned to look at Lin Hai, who was holding a pot he didn't know where he got it from and hitting his head with it. Sanji couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong with you again?"
Lin Hai exclaimed, "I must be dreaming, this is definitely not Nami!"
At this moment, Rice on the side replied, "I understand. A set of one thousand sheets of Millennium Paper has a market price of sixty million Belly."
Just as Nami and Rice were bargaining, Sanji directly tied up Lin Hai and said, "We'll buy it!"
Luffy asked in confusion, "Do you have money?"
"No!" Sanji pulled Lin Hai forward and said, "China. D. Lin Hai, with a bounty of three hundred million Belly, if we sell him, won't we have it?"
Lin Hai's face darkened. This guy was truly a genius. Today, he, Lin Hai, was actually outdone!
However, as soon as Sanji finished speaking, Rice immediately recognized the Straw Hat Crew, didn't even want the goods on the side, and quickly rode his snail to escape...
At this moment, Nami picked up the Millennium Paper that Rice had dropped and said in surprise, "I can finally do my own thing!"
Saying that, Nami turned around and warned, "You are not allowed to disturb me later. Remember this, if anyone affects me, they will be fined one hundred thousand Belly..."
Just like that, everyone started doing their own things.
A day later, the Merry Go finally docked on a deserted island. Everyone excitedly went ashore, while Lin Hai slept in his small room.
After all, he had been on night watch for the past two nights. Although Nami was with him, he was still sleepy during the day.
As soon as everyone got on the island, Nami started assigning tasks using a lottery system: who would fetch water, who would hunt, who would collect fruit...
Zoro said unhappily to Nami, "Why do I have to listen to you?"
Nami stared at Luffy, who was playing in the sand like a child, with a gloomy face and retorted, "Do you think the Captain of this ship would do such a thing?"
Zoro, speechless, took his sword and walked into the forest to collect fruit, while Nami went to use her instruments to map the island...
Chopper drew the lot to stay on the ship and watch over it.
After returning to the ship, Chopper looked at the empty deck and the quiet surroundings and became interested.
So, Chopper climbed up to the crow's nest on the main mast, pointed forward, and shouted, "From today onwards, I am Captain Chopper."
This feeling was so exhilarating. Chopper waved his hand and pointed towards the empty deck, saying, "Hey, all crew members, look here!
Luffy, don't eat other people's food! Usopp, work seriously! Sanji, make me something delicious! Lin Hai, you have to give me your noodles from now on..."
Just then, Lin Hai came out of his room, looked up at Chopper, and said with a laugh, "Captain Chopper, what did you just say? I didn't hear clearly!"
"Pfft... Wow..." Chopper was startled by Lin Hai and then fell from the crow's nest.
Lin Hai caught Chopper with one hand. Chopper, who had reacted, quickly said, "You, why are you still on the ship!"
Lin Hai said with a laugh, "I just woke up, what do you think? Hmm? Robin, why aren't you going to the island with them to play?"
Robin glanced at Lin Hai, quickly avoided his gaze, and replied, "I like to read quietly!"
Cough cough, Robin was also tired these two nights. At least Lin Hai knew she slept very late. But Lin Hai naturally wouldn't expose this matter.
Looking at Chopper, Lin Hai said, "Our ship is running out of fresh water. Should the three of us go collect fresh water together?"
Chopper asked, "Don't we need someone to stay on the ship?"
Lin Hai stroked Chopper's head and said with a smile, "Did you forget that I can use Observation Haki? Within this range, I can still sense if anyone is coming."
"Observation Haki?" Robin muttered to herself, "Having this ability is really convenient."
Lin Hai nodded. "It is convenient. Robin, you should stop reading. Do you want to be a shut-in? It's okay to go for a walk with us..."
"What is a shut-in?" Robin stopped him. "Wait, I still want to read..."
Lin Hai directly pulled Robin up and said impatiently, "You should change your lifestyle and be optimistic. Life is still very interesting. If there are mushrooms in here, the noodles tonight will be much tastier!"
Chopper said in surprise, "Really? I love eating mushrooms..."
Lin Hai asked in confusion, "Aren't you like Usopp, who likes to eat meat buns?"
"Wait," Robin said. "Let go quickly, I'll go to the island with you..."
(Notification is too slow, very helpless~)
......Chapter 105: Sauron also likes to pretend
In the forest, Zoro saw so many fruits on the trees, immediately put down the basket on his back, slowly drew out his three swords, struck a pose he thought was even cooler than Lin Hai's, and then mumbled, "One sword splits mountains, one sword severs the sea, one sword cleaves the sky..."
"Clang..."
The sound of Zoro drawing his three swords from their sheaths echoed through the forest, instantly startling some birds.
Feeling the atmosphere around him, Zoro liked this feeling more and more. Now he somewhat understood why Lin Hai liked to act so dramatically back then!
Cough cough, Zoro quickly snapped back to attention and continued mumbling, "This is the Three-Sword Style, Three-Sword Style Secret Technique, Tornado!!"
Zoro made his move. A small whirlwind formed by three streams of sword energy directly swept towards the tree above his head...
He saw the fruits on the tall tree falling down one by one. Zoro quickly picked up his large basket and caught the fruits one by one.
Just as Zoro was feeling quite satisfied, who knew that fruits from the tree would rain down everywhere, and then, Zoro was buried!
Elsewhere, Usopp began his personal forest adventure. He said he wanted to become a brave warrior of the Sea, but what was the result?
The result was that his courage was like a mouse's, but his boasting was bigger than anyone else's!
Just like this, when walking in the gloomy depths of the forest, just a drop of dew fell on him, and as a result, he immediately lay down on the ground and played dead...
Luffy, on the other hand, was different. He was currently climbing a tree and communicating with the monkeys! Although neither side understood what the other was saying, it didn't hinder them from communicating through expressions!
As for Sanji, he followed behind Nami the whole way, trying to be attentive, but little did he know that Nami had no such feelings for him...
At the same time, Lin Hai, Chopper, and Robin also walked towards the forest.
When Chopper was on Drum Island, he had never seen a forest because it was frozen all year round. When passing through Alabasta, it was almost all desert, nowhere was it as lush and green as here!
At this moment, Chopper looked around as if discovering a New World, "Hey Lin Hai, is this a forest? It's so beautiful!"
Robin asked in confusion, "Haven't you seen a forest before?"
Chopper replied cutely, "No!"
Lin Hai smiled and said, "I say, Chopper, how do you feel now? If you were still on Drum Island, you would live in that small world every day and wouldn't know how wonderful the world is, right?"
"Yeah!" Chopper said excitedly, "Thank you for inviting me to Sea with Luffy back then. Wow, what is that? Is it a mushroom?"
Lin Hai quickly pulled Chopper back and explained, "Those are colorful mushrooms. I heard they are highly poisonous. Let's not pick them!"
As soon as he heard they were highly poisonous, Chopper immediately said in horror, "How scary, this world!"
"Hehehe." Looking at the pure and genuine Chopper, Robin covered her mouth and chuckled softly, "Chopper, you are so cute!"
Chopper was startled, then immediately twisted himself to the side and said shyly, "Bastard, even if you say that to me, I won't be happy!"
Lin Hai rolled his eyes and went towards the forest with the two of them.
Not long after, the three arrived at a small lake. The lake water was blue, and the lakeside was like a magical green field, with butterflies dancing there...
Robin took out her book, lay down on the grass, and started reading!
Lin Hai said speechlessly, "I say, Robin, with such a beautiful view, are you doing something so boring?"
Robin asked in confusion, "With such a beautiful view, isn't it a pity not to read a book?"
"No, no, no." Lin Hai looked up at the sky at a forty-five-degree angle and said flirtatiously, "Misty mountain colors and smoky light, the sun warms the blue field where colorful butterflies fly. Why read a book with such a beautiful view? We should sit down and talk about life, and discuss what happiness is!"
Robin was a knowledgeable person. Although Lin Hai's poem was pieced together, Robin didn't know the profound poetry of China, and what Lin Hai said was fitting for the scenery!
As for talking about life? Discussing happiness?
When Robin thought of that night with the bright moon and sparse stars, she couldn't help but blush while quickly averting her gaze to one side, not intending to respond to Lin Hai.
Chopper, on the other hand, was different. He felt like he couldn't understand what Lin Hai was saying today?
So, Chopper couldn't help but ask, "Lin Hai, what do you mean? What smoky light, what blue field? And..."
Originally, Lin Hai intended for Robin to respond, but Chopper ruined the atmosphere like this!
Lin Hai's face darkened, and he said irritably, "Don't ask so many questions, kid. Is the water collected?"
"Oh!" Chopper replied, "It's collected. Are we going back?"
Lin Hai's face darkened again! Go back for what? If he went back, how could he flirt, bah, how could he interact with Robin?
Lin Hai put on a big bad wolf's expression, turned around, and smiled, "Chopper, with such a beautiful view, why don't you lie down over there and rest well, and feel the beauty of nature!"
"Really?" Saying it and doing it, after hearing Lin Hai's words, Chopper really lay down on the grass and felt the gentle breeze.
"Kimoji..." Chopper said in intoxication, "Lin Hai, you lie down too, it's really comfortable!"
"Hehe! Can you please stop talking!" Lin Hai rolled his eyes at Chopper and admired the surrounding scenery. Especially, Lin Hai found that Robin's figure was really good! Compared to Nami, they were completely different styles!
Robin, who was about to read, noticed Lin Hai looking at her. Robin said somewhat unnaturally, "You, why are you looking at me like that?"
Lin Hai waved his hand shamelessly and said, "Don't be so stingy. Your figure is so good, it's okay for people to look, right!"
Chopper, like a meddler, didn't properly feel nature and interrupted, "Is Robin's figure good? I don't think so?"
Lin Hai turned his head and said speechlessly, "Can't you just not talk?"
Chopper asked in confusion, "Why?"
Looking at the adorable Chopper, Lin Hai suppressed the urge to throw him out and said irritably, "I don't know!"
"Hehehe." Robin sat up and asked curiously, "Lin Hai, did you really hit a Celestial Dragon before?"
Lin Hai nodded and said, "Yes, it was an autumn evening, the weather was fine, the sun was bright, and a gentle breeze blew from time to time, just like a mother's tender embrace, truly nostalgic..."
"??" Robin and Chopper were full of confusion. What on earth was Lin Hai talking about?
Seeing their expressions, Lin Hai, who had reacted, said directly, "That day, I beat up a Celestial Dragon, and then I was given a bounty of three hundred million Belly!"
So that's how it was!
Chopper immediately said excitedly, "Lin Hai, if I also go and beat up a Celestial Dragon then, my bounty..."
Lin Hai quickly stopped him and said, "Do you want to die? Quickly drop that idea. If a Marine Admiral chases you, then it will be interesting!"
Chopper asked in confusion, "Are Marine Admirals very strong?"
Robin explained with some fear, "Marine Admirals are the Navy's highest fighting power!"
Chopper said in horror, "The Navy's highest fighting power? Then, doesn't that mean Lin Hai is very dangerous?"
Seeing Robin's fearful look, Lin Hai stood up and interrupted, "Let's not talk about this anymore. Let's go back to the beach, and prepare dinner for the evening!"
Seeing Robin still in a daze, Lin Hai pulled her up and smiled, "I say, Robin, what kind of expression is that! At most, it's just death. If you're not even afraid of death, what is there to fear about a Marine Admiral? Moreover, give me some time, and in this world, there really won't be anyone who can do anything to me!!"
Chopper's eyes lit up and said, "Sugoi! Lin Hai, are you already that strong?"
Lin Hai put his arm around Robin's waist and smiled, "What are you asking so many questions for, kid? Let's go back..."
......Chapter 106 Electric Shock
After Lin Hai and the others emerged from the water source in the forest, Robin also recovered from her state of fear.
Coming to her senses, Robin then realized, when did her hand get intertwined with Lin Hai's?
Robin turned her head to steal a glance at Lin Hai, and their eyes met. Robin quickly averted her gaze, feeling her heart pound so fast. This strange feeling was something she had never experienced in her more than twenty years of fugitive life!
Lin Hai also noticed Robin's state. Her flustered appearance just now, did she get an electric shock?
No way?
A subtly awkward atmosphere spread between Lin Hai and Robin...
However, what was frustrating was that Chopper, holding the water bucket, turned around and said, "Lin Hai, should we put the water on the ship?"
It was this voice that broke the tranquility of the evening and those inexplicable feelings!
Robin quickly and quietly let go of Lin Hai's hand and distanced herself from him.
As that intoxicating fragrance drifted away, Lin Hai's face darkened again!
"Ahem," Lin Hai said sullenly, "If we don't put it on, are we going to leave it here to be dried by the sun?"
"Hehehe..." Robin saw Lin Hai's frustration, rolled her eyes dramatically, and walked forward to Chopper, saying, "Let's go back to the ship together, Doctor Chopper."
Doctor Chopper?
Chopper's pupils contracted, and he stammered, "Can you say that again!"
Robin didn't understand why, so she repeated it again.
Chopper requested again, "Robin, can you just say the last sentence?"
"Doctor Chopper?" Robin said tentatively.
Chopper immediately didn't care about the water bucket anymore, and with both hands making wavy shapes to the side, he whined, "You idiot, Robin, you idiot, even if you say that about me, I won't be happy, you idiot..."
Fortunately, when Chopper threw the water bucket away, Lin Hai caught it. Looking at Chopper like this, Lin Hai really wanted to take off his size 40+ slippers and slap them on his face!
This troublemaker!!
So annoying!!
One bucket of water was naturally not enough. After Lin Hai put the water on the ship, Robin couldn't help but ask, "Is one bucket of water enough?"
Lin Hai replied, "Have you forgotten what kind of ability user I am? I have already collected enough fresh water just now."
"Oh, that's good..." Saying that, Robin walked back to her chair and continued to read her book.
Lin Hai said speechlessly, "Robin, stop reading! Look at the beach, the sand is so golden under the sunlight. Such a beautiful scene, and you're still reading!!"
They hadn't noticed before, but now that Chopper and Robin reacted, it really was beautiful!
Chopper immediately jumped off the ship happily, just like Luffy before, and started rolling in the sand.
"Hehehe," Robin chuckled, "Chopper is so cute."
Lin Hai complained, "He's cute my foot!"
Robin naturally understood what Lin Hai was saying, but in this situation, Robin really didn't know how to interact with Lin Hai, so she just stared blankly ahead, silent.
At this moment, Robin herself didn't know what she was thinking!
Suddenly, Lin Hai moved closer, and Robin's whole body tensed up.
"Lin, Lin Hai, you..." Robin stammered emotionally.
Lin Hai put his arms around Robin's waist from behind and whispered, "Life has many beautiful things. Shouldn't you change the way you live?"
"Hmm..."
A moment later, Robin whispered, "Lin Hai, do you know? Before, I lived in constant flight, having to guard my own safety every day. I never thought I would have a day to enjoy time like this."
Lin Hai held Robin's hand and chuckled, "In my hometown, a sage once said, life is like a fleeting shadow, gone in an instant. Right now, besides doing what we want to do, other things shouldn't be our stumbling blocks!"
Robin shook her head and said, "You don't understand the power of the World Government..."
Lin Hai interrupted, "When we went out to Sea to become Pirates, we were already their targets. If their power was really that great, why haven't they caught you yet? I'm telling you, those who chase their dreams should move forward bravely..."
"Hmm..."
After a long time, Lin Hai and Robin went to the beach to play with Chopper.
At this moment, compared to before, Robin clearly showed a lot more vitality on her face. Unlike before, she always gave people a feeling of lingering sorrow that couldn't be dispelled!
"Hehehe! Six Fleur!!" Robin looked at Lin Hai playfully and said, "Lin Hai, do you admit your mistake!"
Lin Hai, with his hands and feet bound by Robin, did not answer Robin's words.
"Tsk tsk tsk," Lin Hai looked up as if savoring something, 36F?
Seeing Lin Hai's expression, Robin's face turned red again, but at this moment, a sound came from the forest, and Robin quickly returned to her usual expression!
This scene left Lin Hai dumbfounded!
Women are indeed born actors!
They can act so perfectly without even learning acting!
Just then, from the exit of the forest, came Zoro's cursing voice, "What's wrong with this forest? It's like a maze, why can't I get out!"
Looking at Zoro at the forest exit, he was originally walking towards the exit, but who knew how he ended up walking and then turning a ninety-degree corner...
Indeed, everyone in the Straw Hat Pirates is a genius!
Chopper turned his head confusedly and said, "Lin Hai, what is Zoro doing?"
Lin Hai replied with a face full of black lines, "Ever since we left Little Garden, Zoro's sense of direction has gotten worse and worse. You're a Doctor, can this illness still be cured?"
After saying that, Lin Hai said irritably, "Zoro, where are you going?"
Upon hearing Lin Hai's words, Zoro turned his head again and finally found the correct path!
As soon as he came out, Zoro boasted, "How about it? Did I collect enough fruit?"
After saying that, Zoro put all the fruit he had behind him in front of Lin Hai!
Lin Hai looked at Zoro, who had a strong competitive spirit and wouldn't let others expose his shortcomings, and said irritably, "You're really amazing, Lord of Lost Directions!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a scene of chasing and running appeared on the beach!
Soon after, the rest of the Straw Hat Crew also came out of the forest, and night fell.
At the bonfire.
Nami pointed at Luffy and Usopp and asked, "What did you two do all afternoon? I told you to collect ingredients, and you two came back empty-handed?"
Luffy wanted to explain something, but Lin Hai spoke first, "You told Luffy to collect ingredients? Whether raw or cooked, he ate it all on the way!"
Luffy quickly looked away and replied with a pout, "Lin Hai, don't talk nonsense, I didn't!"
Seeing Luffy's expression, everyone was too lazy to complain.
Usopp saw everyone looking at him, and he quickly explained, "You don't know, I experienced the great Usopp adventure in the forest. There was a Shojo as big as a small mountain..."
They are all talented people!!
Nami was too lazy to say anything to Usopp, and instead praised, "Zoro is still the most reliable, he collected so much fruit, it's enough for us to sail for several days!"
Sanji quickly said, "Nami-san, I can do it too!"
Being praised by others, Zoro felt very pleased. Just as he was taking a sip of his drink, Nami said, "Zoro, then I'll trouble you to collect some more, okay?"
"Pfft..." Zoro spat out a mouthful of drink. Is Nami a devil?
It was already dark, and just because he collected a lot, Nami was being so impolite to him?
Just as Zoro was about to retort, Nami stuck out her tongue and smiled, "I'm just kidding!"
Zoro, who turned to look at Nami, didn't know what to say. Was he being played?
For a moment, Zoro's face was flushed red...
(Don't ask, the book hasn't been released yet!)
......Chapter 107 Luffy was kidnapped!
It was rare to see Zoro blush, so Luffy deliberately asked, "Zoro, why is your face so red? You didn't drink just now."
Usopp, on the side, covered his mouth, trying his best to hold back his laughter, causing his shoulders to tremble.
Seeing this, Zoro said in embarrassment and annoyance, "Less nonsense..."
Zoro's expression was extremely cute in Robin's eyes. Robin truly felt that the atmosphere on this ship was very relaxed, completely different from her past life, and she had accidentally met a man who made her heart flutter.
For a moment, the happy Robin covered her mouth, showing genuine happiness, and chuckled, "Hehehe..."
Everyone saw that Robin was no longer pretending. This genuine emotional expression couldn't be faked.
So, Luffy was overjoyed and said, "Everyone, let's have a feast..."
Sanji looked at Robin's charming look as she covered her mouth and chuckled, and his hormones exploded. He quickly spun around, with hearts popping out of his head, and loudly said, "Love, love, this is love..."
"Hehehe." Nami took a piece of prepared fruit, sat next to Robin, and said with a smile, "Robin, try this, it's delicious."
Seeing Robin's confusion, Nami explained, "Don't worry, the juice in this is not poisonous. Luffy and the others have already drunk it, and look at them, they're fine so far."
"nani?!" Luffy's eyes bulged, and he exclaimed in surprise, "Nami, your brain is working well! Are you a genius?"
Usopp complained with a face full of black lines, "Nami, you bastard are really a devil!"
Sanji kept spinning and saying, "Even the devilish Nami is so beautiful. Ah, love, this is love..."
Lin Hai, who was on the side, had a face full of black lines at this time. Sanji, this guy, was too infuriating!
Lin Hai said unhappily, "Love your grandma! The beef I gave you just now, is it ready?"
"Beef?" As soon as he heard about meat, Luffy's eyes lit up and he said, "Where is it, where is it? Why didn't I know?"
Soon, Sanji brought over a roasted beef leg.
Lin Hai said, "Beef is very chewy and has high nutritional value. Especially Luffy, don't treat beef like other meat and swallow it directly without chewing..."
Luffy's eyes were shining on the side as he said, "Is it really that delicious? Bring it over quickly and let me try it!"
Zoro asked in confusion, "Where did you get this beef?"
Naturally, it was exchanged from the sao system!
Lin Hai rolled his eyes and said, "Why should I tell you? Sit down, I'll cut it for you..."
After cutting for everyone, only Luffy was left. Luffy quickly said, "Lin Hai, let me cut mine myself. Don't worry, I won't snatch anyone's food..."
Lin Hai looked at Luffy suspiciously and cautiously moved the plate in front of him.
Luffy was indeed as he said, and he even obediently cut off a small slice.
Before Luffy could make another move, Lin Hai quickly pressed down on his hand, because the information from Observation Haki told him that this guy Luffy was planning to leave the small slice he cut for everyone, while he wanted to devour the large piece himself!
Sanji asked curiously, "What's wrong?"
Lin Hai shouted, "Chopper, quickly hold down Luffy! This guy wants to devour that large piece of beef!"
"nani?!" Chopper jumped up and instantly pinned Luffy down, scolding, "Luffy, you bastard are snatching everyone's things again!"
When Luffy saw that his plan was exposed, he immediately stopped pretending and began to wrestle with Lin Hai with all his might.
"Let go of me quickly." Luffy stared at the large piece of meat and said, "I want to eat meat! Meat..."
Sanji exclaimed, "It's really true!"
After speaking, Lin Hai, Sanji, and Chopper just held Luffy down like that, and a bizarre dinner began...
Looking at Lin Hai and Sanji holding Luffy's hands respectively, and Chopper tightly hugging Luffy's legs, Zoro said speechlessly, "Just roast another piece..."
Before he finished speaking, Lin Hai turned back and retorted, "This is the only piece!"
At this time, Luffy said, "Let go of me quickly, I won't snatch it anymore..."
If you believe that Luffy won't eat meat, you might as well believe that pigs can climb trees!
Soon, the three of them directly tied Luffy to a tree, while Luffy stared at the beef with shining eyes and said, "I said I wouldn't snatch it anymore, why are you still tying me up? Let go of me quickly!!"
Sanji said speechlessly, "Look at your expression, who are you trying to fool!"
Chopper said angrily, "You bastard, we don't believe you!"
Usopp, who was by the bonfire, turned his head and asked Zoro with extreme speechlessness, "Is this our Captain?"
Zoro looked away and remained silent.
"Hehehe..." Robin was really laughing uncontrollably. She realized that she had never been this happy since she was a child.
"Hahaha..." Nami almost cramped up laughing while lying on Robin's lap.
They really didn't expect that there was such a group of oddballs on this ship.
The Captain tried to snatch meat and ended up being tied to a tree by his own crew.
If other Pirate crews knew about this situation, they wouldn't know what to think...
......Chapter 108 Sweet Dreams
The Straw Hat Crew spent an unforgettable night on the deserted island, and the next day, they set sail again for a new voyage.
Lin Hai, as usual, skillfully snored away in his usual sleeping spot.
The scenes in his dream were desirable, captivating, and intoxicating...
"Oh honey, taste the grapes this concubine picked for you..."
At this moment, Boa Hancock, the Empress, was holding a fresh grape to the corner of Lin Hai's mouth, who was half-reclining on a long chair. The Empress eagerly awaited Lin Hai's response.
Looking at such a peerless beauty, especially her figure, Lin Hai was very satisfied and was about to taste the fruit when Nami on the side handed over a drink.
Nami said gently, "How about a drink after eating the fruit?"
Lin Hai said with satisfaction, "Hmm, I'll eat the fruit first..."
Before he could finish speaking, Robin massaged Lin Hai's shoulders and said, "Lord Lin Hai, let me give you a good shoulder massage, okay?"
Good, very good!
At this moment, Hancock languidly brought the fruit to Lin Hai's mouth. Lin Hai naturally ate the fruit. Unexpectedly, Hancock's face immediately turned red and she said, "Lord Lin Hai, Lord Lin Hai ate the fruit I fed him! This concubine, this concubine is so happy! Is this, is this marriage!!"
Lin Hai pulled Hancock over and patted his thigh, laughing, "Don't sit there, you'll catch a cold. Come sit here..."
A moment later, Lin Hai took a sip of the drink and said contentedly, "Nami, Hancock, you two help me massage my legs. Robin, you help me massage my shoulders..."
In reality, on the Merry Go, Chopper looked at Lin Hai sleeping and drooling, full of confusion. So, Chopper called everyone over to ask what was wrong with Lin Hai!
Looking at Lin Hai in this state.
Luffy punched his palm, a light bulb lit up in his head, and he guessed, "Lin Hai must be dreaming of lots of delicious meat!"
Usopp retorted, "Do you think everyone is like you? I guess he must be dreaming..."
Before he finished speaking, Lin Hai in his sleep was heard muttering, "Robin, your shoulder massage technique is really good, reward! Nami, a little more force, yes, that's about right..."
Sanji on the side roared, "Idiot!!"
Zoro rolled his eyes and said, "He's dreaming, why are you getting excited?"
"What did you say?" Sanji said unhappily, "Even dreaming isn't allowed..."
"Thwack..."
Ignoring the people beside her, Nami was the first to hit Lin Hai. How dare this guy in his dream order her to massage his legs? Is he treating her like a servant?
Being hit, Lin Hai, half-asleep and half-awake, immediately exclaimed, "Nami, you..."
Cough cough, Lin Hai then clearly saw Nami standing before him with her hands on her hips, looking at him playfully. Lin Hai realized that he had been dreaming just now!
Seeing Lin Hai staring blankly at her, Nami smiled and said, "Lin Hai, do you need me to help you massage your legs, and maybe have Robin massage your shoulders?"
"Cough cough." Lin Hai weakly replied, "If you insist on doing it, I will reluctantly accept."
"How shameless!" Nami said angrily, "Lin Hai, how dare you have such a dream? You're fined 200,000 Belly! You now owe me a total of 1,200,000 Belly!"
"nani?!" Lin Hai exclaimed, "Did you fall into a pile of money? You're fining me for dreaming?"
"Hmph..." Nami turned and left.
At this moment, Luffy finally snapped back to reality and said, "Oh, Lin Hai wasn't dreaming of meat just now, it was Nami and Robin?"
Usopp said speechlessly, "Did you just realize that? By the way, who is Hancock?"
Luffy punched his palm again, a big light bulb lit up in his head, and he guessed again, "I know, Hancock must be delicious beef! Hahaha, beef is the best, too bad there's so little!"
Everyone fainted...
At this moment, Robin on the side muttered, "Hancock? Could Lin Hai be talking about the world's most beautiful woman?"
"The world's most beautiful woman?" Everyone asked curiously.
"What the..." Luffy said with disdain, "So it wasn't beef?"
Everyone fainted again!
Sanji, sweating profusely, stepped forward and was the first to ask, "Sister Robin, is Hancock really the world's most beautiful woman?"
"Yes." Robin nodded, "She is the Empress of Kuja Island, and also one of the Shichibukai, reigning over the latter half of the Grand Line!"
"nani?!"
"The world's most beautiful woman is one of the Shichibukai?"
"Is that woman that strong? By the way, Lin Hai seemed to be asking her to massage his legs in his dream, right?"
Everyone looked at Lin Hai curiously, this guy is really brave!
At this moment, Robin asked, "Lin Hai, do you know the Empress?"
Lin Hai said speechlessly, "No, you guys are too gossipy, aren't you? Go away quickly, my beautiful dream..."
Usopp retorted, "You really dare to dream, that's a Shichibukai!"
"Hehehe..." Robin stepped forward and asked, "Lin Hai, how about I massage your shoulders for you?"
"Cough cough." Lin Hai quickly said, "No, no need. Can't I just dream?"
Robin wondered what she thought of, this smelly Lin Hai couldn't be...
Thinking of this, Robin quickly ran away!
Just like that, the Merry Go sailed on the Sea for several days, and then Nami didn't know how to navigate anymore!
Robin looked at the worried Nami and couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong, Nami?"
Nami pointed at the Log Pose in her hand and said glumly, "Is my Log Pose broken? Look, it's pointing to the sky and not moving!"
Zoro asked curiously, "Could it be that the next island we're sailing to is in the sky?"
Usopp was the first to deny it, "What kind of joke is that? How can an island appear in the sky? Nami, is your Log Pose broken?"
Lin Hai said speechlessly, "This is the Grand Line, don't use your fixed mindset to deny the existence of Skypiea in the sky."
Robin nodded and said, "That's right, as a navigator, never doubt if the Log Pose is wrong. Nami, what you should be thinking about now is how to reach the next destination."
Hearing this, Luffy immediately became energetic and said, "Alright, let's head for the island in the sky!"
"Hehehe." Nami's eyebrow twitched as she asked, "How do we get up there? Do we make the ship fly up?"
Luffy nodded and said, "Fly up!"
"Thwack..."
Nami hit Luffy directly and explained, "To be honest, I don't know how to get to the next island..."
Lin Hai on the side knew one way, which was to ride the underwater current eruption upwards, but the Sea area was so vast, who knew where it was...
Just as Lin Hai was about to call Nami to go to a nearby island to inquire about information, some discarded wood and debris, as well as damaged large ships, fell from the sky...
.........Chapter 109 Do you really think I have a good temper?
Chapter 109: You Think I'm Good-Tempered?
"What is this?! A ship!" Zoro was the first to ask.
Everyone looked towards the sky, where a broken ship was falling.
Usopp said incredulously, "What on earth is going on? Why is a ship falling from the sky?!"
Luffy asked curiously, "Is there any meat on it?"
Zoro also asked, "I wonder if there's any sake."
Sanji said speechlessly, "Is that what we should be focusing on right now?"
Lin Hai quickly used his ability to collect some tools and bones from the ship that had fallen not far away!
Meanwhile, Robin immediately took out her tools and began to study them!
"Hey, hey," Usopp said speechlessly, "Robin, what are you doing?"
Robin chuckled and explained, "Archaeology, of course!"
"Archaeology?" Everyone was confused. "What's that?"
Lin Hai explained, "It's incredible archaeology."
Zoro and Luffy replied simultaneously, "Oh, I see."
Sanji exclaimed, "You don't understand at all, do you?!"
A moment later, Robin said, "From the bones, this person should have died over two hundred years ago. The deceased was probably around thirty years old..."
"Sugoi!" Luffy asked curiously, "How can you know so clearly how many years he's been dead?"
Robin replied, "I deduced it from the evidence left on him."
Nami, standing nearby, asked in confusion, "Why would a ship from over two hundred years ago fall from the sky here?"
Lin Hai guessed, "It's likely these people were shipwrecked on Skypiea a long time ago, and then they were washed here by some currents!"
Usopp shook his head, "You actually believe there's a Skypiea?"
Lin Hai said speechlessly, "If Skypiea doesn't exist, then how did this ship from over two hundred years ago fall from the sky?"
Instantly, Luffy's eyes lit up, "Let's go to Skypiea!"
"Hehehe," Zoro chuckled, "How do we get there?"
Luffy replied, "We just go! Nami..."
Nami said speechlessly, "I told you, I don't know how to get there. If you ask again, I'll fine you a hundred thousand Belly!"
Lin Hai asked, "Nami, why don't we first go to a nearby island and ask around? Since the Log Pose is pointing towards the sky, it means Skypiea exists; we just don't know how to get there. So, let's go gather information."
Seeing that everyone agreed, the Merry Go sailed towards the nearby island, Jaya Island.
"Salvage well, salvage well..."
Not long after the Merry Go set sail, whistle sounds and rhythmic shouts came from a distance. Everyone was drawn by the sound.
Soon, a huge ship appeared not far from the Merry Go. The people on the huge ship were divided into two sides, and a tall person who looked very much like an Ape walked out from the middle and said, "All the sunken ships in this sea area belong to the Ape Pirate Crew, which means they belong to me, Wrecking King Masira, woo-chee-chee."
After speaking, the guy who called himself Wrecking King Masira turned to look at the Merry Go and asked, "I ask you, what are you doing there? This is my territory."
"Your territory?" Nami couldn't help but ask.
Ape replied, "That's right, all the sunken ships in this sea area belong to this great me. You haven't touched anything, have you?"
Lin Hai replied very unhappily, "What if we did? You say it's yours, so it's yours? If I pee in the Sea, is that yours too?"
Immediately, the faces of the Ape Pirate Crew members turned unfriendly as they stared at Lin Hai.
Affected by the oppressive atmosphere, Usopp quickly pulled Lin Hai and whispered, "Before we know who they are, let's not provoke him!"
Lin Hai turned his head and asked confusedly, "With that guy's tone, are you comfortable? We're Pirates. If that guy keeps comparing himself to me, I'll cut them all down!"
Usopp and Chopper quickly pulled Lin Hai back, "Don't be so scary!"
At this moment, Luffy stepped forward and said, "I am the Captain of this ship, Monkey D. Luffy. Are you an ape?"
As soon as Luffy finished speaking, on the opposite ship of the Ape Pirate Crew, the person who called himself Ape immediately pulled his mouth with one hand, blew a whistle, and said very satisfied, "Woo-chee-chee, are you saying I look like an ape? I also think I have a lot of masculine charm, woo-chee-chee..."
Sanji said speechlessly, "What's wrong with that guy?"
At this moment, Ape said, "I am the Captain of the Ape Pirate Crew, Masira..."
As soon as Masira saw the bones on the Merry Go, his eyes narrowed, and then he was furious, "I'm asking you, was that thing on your ship salvaged from the Sea?"
Luffy laughed, "No, it fell from the sky!"
Masira was instantly enraged, "You dare to salvage our things! I said those things are all mine!"
Saying that, Masira leaped up, preparing to jump onto the Merry Go, wanting to snatch those things back.
This is simply outrageous. Although Lin Hai knew that they needed Masira's help to go to Skypiea, this guy's attitude made him very unhappy!
Lin Hai said, "Usopp, let go of me quickly, huh?"
Usopp asked curiously, "What's wrong?"
Lin Hai replied, "Let go quickly, there's something big coming out from under the Sea!"
"Something big?" Everyone asked in confusion.
"Whoosh..." As soon as Usopp let go, Lin Hai leaped up and grabbed the neck of Masira, who was jumping towards the Merry Go.
Lin Hai glared, "If you dare to damage this ship, I'll twist your neck."
Seeing their Captain being grabbed by the neck, the crew members on the Ape Pirate Crew's ship immediately raised their guns towards Lin Hai.
"Damn it, let go of our Captain quickly!"
"Captain, are you kidding? Use your immense strength! How could that little guy be your opponent!"
"I'm telling you, let go of my Captain quickly, or we'll shoot!"
Lin Hai glared back, and although he didn't release Conqueror's Haki, he scared the Ape Pirate Crew members into a cold sweat; it was terrifying!
Lin Hai said in an unhappy tone, "I'm just telling your Captain to quiet down. If you're not afraid of death, just shoot. Do you really think I'm good-tempered?"
After speaking, Lin Hai looked at the sea level.
Seeing Lin Hai paying so much attention to a spot on the sea level, Luffy immediately asked curiously, "What's wrong?"
Lin Hai explained, "Something big is coming out from under the Sea."
"Something big?" Nami asked in confusion.
"Woo woo woo..." Masira was grabbed by the neck by Lin Hai, extremely uncomfortable.
Lin Hai said, "I'll let go of you, but you'd better be quiet. If you dare to make a move, just try..."
As soon as he finished speaking, the sea level in the distance suddenly rose...
......Chapter 110 My Hancock
Chapter 110: My Hancock
On the sea surface not far from the Merry Go, the water level kept rising, revealing something like a mountain.
Everyone was momentarily confused!
"Wh-what is that thing? It's so big!"
"Hey, hey, what should we do now? That's not a creature, is it?"
"This is not the time to talk about that, quickly stabilize the ship, or we'll be swept away by the current..."
Soon, the creature surfaced, and everyone realized it was a giant turtle. The Merry Go looked like an ant in the eyes of this turtle.
At this moment, Lin Hai turned his head and asked, "Sanji, if we were to stew this giant turtle for soup, could you do it?"
Luffy immediately drooled and said, "Can we eat this?"
Usopp, holding Lin Hai's face in disbelief, pointed at the giant turtle and cried, "Look at its size, it's even bigger than that giant crab last time. Shouldn't we be thinking about running away first?"
Wrecking King Masira had long forgotten his fear from earlier, because he was even more terrified now, especially seeing such a massive creature before him. He immediately lost composure and shouted, "Run!"
Meanwhile, Nami and Chopper quickly echoed, "Run, run! We're going to be eaten!"
Lin Hai said speechlessly, "If it dares to eat our ship, I'll chop it first!"
After speaking, Lin Hai stepped onto the railing, pointed at the turtle, and asked, "Hey, you big guy, there's nothing you want to eat on the sea surface. Get back where you came from quickly, don't scare my crew!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the sky suddenly turned dark.
Luffy asked in confusion, "Did it get dark so quickly?"
People on another ship were all looking in terror behind Lin Hai and the others.
And everyone on the Merry Go also curiously followed their gaze to look behind. At first, Lin Hai was also startled; those three gigantic, sky-reaching black shadows were indeed terrifying enough!
Looking at those towering, cloud-piercing black shadows, one couldn't help but feel that way.
However, Lin Hai quickly reacted, realizing that they were likely people from Skypiea, a natural phenomenon caused by sunlight.
Because everyone was seeing these phantoms for the first time, they didn't understand what was happening. They thought they were being targeted by something terrifying and were all scared stiff! Even the mountain-sized turtle was no exception.
However, the Straw Hat Crew's ability to adapt and survive was still excellent. They all mobilized and chose to escape! Wrecking King Masira had long forgotten the conflict from before and was now following Nami's command, helping to steer...
The only one on the ship who wasn't moving was Lin Hai. He was in a bad mood because his good dream had been interrupted, but then he unexpectedly saw expressions of fear on Zoro and Luffy's faces, which immediately improved his mood!
He had to mock them properly later and see if they would still be so arrogant!
Suddenly, Lin Hai's mood brightened!
After everyone was out of danger, they all collapsed onto the deck.
"That was too scary. Is this the Grand Line?"
"Were those three black shadows humans?"
"Don't be silly, can humans be that big?"
"If not, why did they have hands and feet..."
Just as everyone was discussing what those three giant black shadows were, Lin Hai stood on the railing, ready to activate his mocking mode. While mocking, he also had to show some contempt!
"Hahaha..." Lin Hai laughed, "You guys are too timid, aren't you? I know what those black shadows were!"
"You know?" Luffy immediately asked curiously, "Quickly tell me, what was that?"
"Cough, cough." Lin Hai explained, "Did you forget something? Skypiea, remember?"
"Skypiea?" everyone asked simultaneously.
Wrecking King Masira immediately became excited, "Skypiea? You believe it exists too?"
Lin Hai nodded, "Skypiea naturally exists. And those giant phantoms just now were actually people from Skypiea. Under the sunlight, their shadows were projected onto the tiny dust particles in the air, causing this phenomenon..."
Before Lin Hai finished speaking, Robin suddenly realized, "If that's the case, then those phantoms make sense."
"Exactly." Lin Hai smiled, "Look at yourselves, claiming you want to become the Pirate King, the World's Greatest Swordsman, yet you were scared like this by someone's shadow?"
"Hahaha, this is hilarious..."
"Damn it, it was just someone's shadow!" Luffy felt uncharacteristically annoyed.
Meanwhile, Zoro glanced at Luffy, his face inexplicably turning red. He himself was actually scared like that by someone's shadow just now??
"Hey, hey, hey... Shit!"
"Splash..."
Lin Hai, who was standing on the railing laughing gleefully, lost his balance and fell into the Sea.
For a moment, the few people on the ship looked at each other in confusion. Served him right!
Soon, the Merry Go sailed into the coast of Jaya Island. Along the way, Wrecking King Masira returned to his own ship to continue salvaging. After all, it was their first meeting, and Lin Hai really didn't know how to ask Ape how to get to Skypiea, plus there had been an unpleasant incident earlier...
Seeing that the coast was filled with Pirate ships, Usopp asked curiously, "Why are there so many Pirate ships docked here? Is this place going to be like Whiskey Peak back then?"
Nami exclaimed, "No way? Is this place a bounty hunter's nest?"
Luffy laughed, "Don't worry, if they dare to touch us, I'll send them all flying."
Nami said speechlessly, "It's because of you that people are worried!"
After the ship docked, Luffy and Zoro insisted on going into town. Nami had no choice but to instruct, "Listen up, Luffy and Zoro, Robin has already gone to inquire about information on Skypiea. While you go buy supplies, you absolutely must not cause trouble!"
"Why?" Luffy asked in confusion.
Zoro also asked, "If someone looks for trouble, can't we even fight back?"
Nami explained, "Didn't you see all the Pirate ships at the coast? If a conflict arises and causes a commotion, we won't be able to stay on this island. How will we gather information then? Let alone go to Skypiea! Forget it, I'll go with you!"
As soon as she finished speaking, she saw Lin Hai preparing to lie down on the deck to sleep.
Nami couldn't help but ask, "Lin Hai, what are you doing?"
Lin Hai waved his hand, "You guys go to town, I'll see if I can dream of the world's most beautiful woman again..."
"Thump, you're coming with us too..." Nami was truly angry, this stinking scoundrel!
Lin Hai said dejectedly, "Let go quickly, I'm not going, I want to have my beautiful dream, my Hancock..."
Sanji also wanted to go, but he was directly stopped by Usopp and Chopper.
Usopp pleaded, "Sanji, they're all gone. If you leave too, what will happen to us? You have to stay and watch the ship!"
Sanji said dejectedly, "I know, let go quickly..."
