Chapter 25His tone suddenly toughened for a moment, but before he could even finish his sentence, Luffyinwardly thought, "Oh no." Sure enough, looking up, he saw that Nami had already let go of his face. Her face was flushed, and she stood with her arms crossed, looking at Luffy with an aggrieved, teary-eyed gaze."Why... why are you being so mean?"This expression was just too unfair!Actually, that's not what I wanted to say.The words were on the tip of his tongue, but Luffyswallowed them back down, feeling a strange sense of anticipation in his heart.No, it was all the fault of those messy voices and punishments that had opened the doors to a New World for him; before this, Luffy wouldn't have cared at all!Nami went to look for some clothes.Luffy checked the time. Today's scheduled time was almost up, and he stepped out of his previous state of intense focus."Is the luggage packed?""Nojiko helped me pack. Honestly, there isn't much to bring. But the villagers said they wanted to thank us and gave us a lot of things."The various supplies needed for the voyage were sponsored by Cocoyasi Village and the nearby villages. Sometimes, those were much more useful than money, especially since they had a glutton like Luffy on their ship.Speaking of which, Nami remembered something."Luffy, regarding the money the Arlongs Crewextorted... can we leave some for the villagers of Cocoyasi Village?""They really need that money.""If needed, I'm willing to do anything.""Willing to do anything?" A look of confusion appeared on Luffy's face.Nami instantly realized the ambiguity in her words and said flusteredly,"No, it's not what you think! I mean...""I know, I know. That means I now have two requests that you can't refuse, right?"No, it's not like that.Aaaah! Why is the current Luffy not as easy to fool as the one I first met?Nami was on the verge of tears; she really missed the Luffy she first met.She was fuming, and to make matters worse, she couldn't find what she was looking for. Nojiko was right; Nami loved to hoard beautiful clothes. She usually wore things like Maid outfits just for herself to see, and her taste in fashion was definitely top-tier."Wait a moment."Nami trotted out of the room to find Nojiko, wondering what happened to that Maid outfit. Only Nojiko was allowed in her room. Luffyyawned; today had been another exhausting day, but there was bad news—tomorrow would likely be even more exhausting.The pirate king training plan even included time compensation; Luffy was both angry and helpless.It was like the end of a game where a robot is shredding the base, and the helpless husband can only watch from the side as the base explodes.Just submit.Luffy didn't believe it could squeeze twenty-five hours out of a twenty-four-hour day.He stood up and stretched. By taking advantage of the gaps between the warnings, he could scrape together quite a bit of time.His main theme was being rebellious.The sun would rise as usual tomorrow. At most, he'd just work another twenty-three hours; could it really erase his sleep time?There was a bookshelf in Nami's room, surrounded by nautical charts. To be honest, once one had a bit of knowledge, they would only find them stunning. Looking at the dates, it seemed Nami had started drawing them when she was only a few years old.It truly lived up to that saying."If you are not of this path, you see me as a frog in a well sees the moon; if you are of this path, you see me as a tiny mayfly sees the vast sky."What was Luffy doing when he was a few years old?Hmm... training with Ace and the others, probably.Thinking about it now, he still missed those times. He wondered when they would meet again.Once he relaxed, he felt a bit drowsy. It was almost midnight, the start of a new day, and he could finally sleep.For a moment, Luffy felt the warning sounds in his head had become a lullaby."Luffy? Wake up, wake up." Nami's voice carried a hint of complaint, followed by him being dragged. "This is my room... at the very least, sleep on the floor. Otherwise, why would I have pulled you in here?"[Warning, Warning...]"Sorry."Luffy jolted awake and immediately saw Namiwearing a Maid outfit."One request fulfilled. Are you satisfied now!" Nami looked reluctant, her left hand resting on her right arm as she turned her head slightly. Noticing Luffy's gaze, she shot back a fierce look, staring at him as if he were trash.However, her blushing face made the look not very convincing; if one didn't know better, they'd think it was a reward for a pervert.Chapter 29: You Bastardly Plan, Are You Even Human?His thoughts were still groggy. Seeing Nami in a Maid outfit, Luffy was stunned, even forgetting to answer her.Nami stood in the warm glow of the room. The exquisite black-and-white Maid outfit was a stark contrast to her usual casual short sleeves and hot pants. The snow-white apron strings were tied into a full bow at her slender waist, outlining an incredible waist-to-hip curve.The crisp hem of the skirt hung fluffily, barely reaching above her knees, which instead served to highlight the shape of her legs encased in stockings. Her bare feet, tightly covered by the black fabric, appeared even longer and possessed a certain tension. The stockings continued up under the hem of the skirt.The cuffs and neckline were adorned with lace trim.Her usually energetic orange short hair also seemed much softer because of this outfit, neatly framing her cheeks.She looked reluctant yet inviting.Nami's brow was furrowed and the corners of her mouth were turned down. Her eyes looked as if they were watching trash; after all, anyone looking at a Maid outfit late at night was either a pervert or a lecher."This is a Maid outfit?" Luffy frowned."I'm so sorry I couldn't satisfy you!" Nami suddenly rushed in front of Luffy and pinched his face.No, that's not what I meant.The effect of this outfit was very peculiar. Even though there was more fabric and she was more covered up, it felt more captivating than when she was wrapped in a bath towel not long ago.Just as Luffy was about to speak, Nami, still annoyed, lifted the hem of her skirt slightly. This subtle movement caused Luffy's gaze to involuntarily glue itself there again.The black stockings reflected a gentle luster under the light, extending from her calves into the shadows beneath the skirt."Caught you!" Nami grabbed Luffy's hair, a smile returning to her face as she spoke."What are you looking at?""I..."Just as Luffy was about to speak, there was a knock at the door."Nami, I wanted to tell you about that Maid outfitearlier..."The door was knocked once and then opened. Nojiko walked in holding a piece of fabric, only to see the scene before her.Nami, dressed in a Maid outfit, lifting her skirt..."Sorry, I must have come at a bad time. Please, continue."Nojiko hurriedly closed the door."It's not like that, Nojiko..." Nami was instantly frozen. Before she could even react, the door had already been closed.A moment of silence.Luffy stiffly looked up at Nami."...Aaaah! Come with me and explain to Nojiko!"Luffy was about to agree when a voice sounded in his ear.[A new day begins][Detecting today's plan...][Sleep time has arrived, 24:00—6:00. Please execute immediately...]I can sleep for six hours?Did I see that right? I can sleep for six hours?!The characters before his eyes felt unfamiliar to Luffy.He suddenly felt very unaccustomed to it, and his mind even began to spin conspiracy theories. Could it be plotting some wicked trick?The thought flashed through his mind.To have the chance to sleep and not take it would be against the heavens!"Nami, we'll talk tomorrow. Let me sleep first..."Luffy fell asleep instantly.Nami was dumbfounded. The person who had been staring at her intently just seconds ago was now unconscious in sleep the next.He had been clutching Nami's clothes, and now his entire body weight pressed against her."Ah, you guy." Nami lost her footing and was pinned underneath him.Both of them fell to the floor."Sorry, I thought there might be some things you weren't prepared for, so I went to borrow some from the doctor." Nojiko opened the door again.A repeat performance."Sorry, please continue..." Nojiko wanted to leave but also didn't want to."Continue my foot! Come and help me!"Nami struggled, "Quick, move Luffy off me.""Bear with it for a bit; it might hurt in a moment," Nojiko suggested.Why would it hurt?Just as that question arose, she saw the moved Luffy clutching her leg. Who knows what he was dreaming about, but he opened his mouth and bit down....Once Luffy falls asleep, he generally won't wake up.You could say his sleep quality is superb, which was all developed through training, or you could call it a family tradition. The skill of falling asleep in a single second isn't something just anyone can have.It couldn't be helped; when he was little, Garp only let him sleep for three hours.Sometimes he seriously suspected that his lack of height was because Garp had forced him into high-intensity training at such a young age.Although Luffy was over 1.7 meters tall, in this pirate world where the average size was three to five meters, he was naturally born a head shorter than others.There was no way around it; size is justice.Otherwise, why would the Giant Race be called the strongest race in the world?Luffy often dreamed, but Lucid dreams rarely occurred.This time was different.Luffy glanced at the bright sun in the sky; he was back on the deck of the Baratie restaurant.You've got to be kidding. He had clearly arrived at Cocoyasi Village, so how could he have gone back? He still had a vivid impression of Nami in the Maid outfit; Luffy felt he must be dreaming.He pinched his face hard.It hurt, but he just wouldn't wake up!"Hey, it's you playing tricks again, isn't it? pirate king training plan, if you don't come out now, I'm going to cause a scene!"Luffy cursed loudly.What happened to the promised six hours of sleep?As soon as he finished speaking, the familiar characters appeared before his eyes, and then the voice sounded.[Plan in progress... Notice: Detected excessive number of distractions yesterday and behavior attempting to find loopholes. Recalling today's items.][Dream training time has arrived. Time allocation: Weakness training. Searching for target...][Unlimited attempts][Time: 24:00—6:00 (Dream time: 24:00—23:00)]Luffy's face turned ashen.
