30: Chapter 30 Heading to Shimotsuki VillageWhile Garp and Melbell were talking, Garp's adjutant, Bogart, arrived in a hurry with his men.Seeing that his superior Garp was talking to someone, he didn't disturb them and simply stood silently behind Garp with his men.
After finishing his conversation with Melbell, Karp turned to Bogart and said, "Take control of everyone in this branch base, investigate them one by one, punish those who have violated the rules, and observe those who haven't violated the rules for a period of time before releasing them."
Soon, Bogart and his men took control of everyone at the branch base, while also having his personal guards stationed there to await further instructions.
But after giving this order, Garp followed Luffy and the others back to Nami's house, once again ruthlessly abandoning Bogart.
Garp had no idea what Bogart was thinking.But Garp was secretly pleased, looking at the two cute girls in front of him, he nudged Luffy with his elbow, and whispered:
"These two young ladies are really good-looking, they're the future beauties.You have good taste, kid.Introduce me to one of them, which one is my future granddaughter-in-law."
Looking at Garp grinning widely in front of him, Luffy Wang said something surprising: "Can't it be both?"
"What?All of them?" Garp exclaimed in surprise.
The two little girls in front of him were clearly startled by the voice and asked Wang Lufei, "Grandpa, what's wrong?Why is everything like that?"
Wang Lufei casually explained, "It's nothing.I was just surprised that I was able to wipe out Ah Long's entire gang, so I yelled.Please understand the old man's fragile heart; it's perfectly normal."
"That's enough playing around." Melbell said to Nami and Nojiko, "Nami, Nojiko, we'll be going with Grandpa Luffy in a bit.Mom has agreed to rejoin the Marines.Also, you're both Marine reserve members now!"
"Join the Navy and go with Grandpa Luffy?Yay!That way I can stay with Brother Luffy forever!" Nami said, jumping up and down with joy.Nojiko also looked delighted.
The two were saddened when they saw Wang Lufei's family arrive, thinking they were going to take Wang Lufei home.They were overjoyed to find they could walk together.
Hearing this, Wang Lufei felt a little embarrassed.He walked to Nami's side, patted her head, and said, "I'm sorry.Actually, I'm not going with Grandpa.According to my master's plan, I will travel around for a while before returning to the Marine base."
Hearing this, the two girls' moods fluctuated wildly once again, and their enthusiasm clearly waned.Seeing this, Garp spoke up to soothe them, saying, "Oh dear.What's there to be sad about?Is spending time with this old man really that unbearable?"
It's not like little Luffy isn't coming back; he just needs to experience some things outside.His master is at the Marine base, so he'll eventually come back.Besides, once he returns, I won't let him go away for extended periods until he's basically an adult."
After hearing Garp's words, and with Luffy's encouragement, the two girls, though still not very enthusiastic, were in a slightly better mood than before.Finally, the group quickly packed their luggage and backpacks, preparing to board the ship and head back.
Before leaving, Nami and Nojiko were still talking to Luffy on the deck below, reluctant to part.
"Waaah.I don't want to leave you." This was Nami, clutching Wang Luffy's clothes, her eyes brimming with tears.
"You said before that as long as you were by my side, I wouldn't have to worry about anything, but now you're about to leave me.Can I cry?" Nojiko said, a little awkwardly, with tears in her eyes.
These two girls really got Wang Luffy off.Not knowing how to comfort them, he simply hugged them both and kissed them on the cheek.Before they could react, he said, "Wait for me to come back," and then teleported back to Nami's house as if trying to escape.
The two girls, realizing what had happened, looked at the empty space in front of them, touched their lips, blushed, and exchanged a glance.Neither of them spoke again.
After lingering for a while, the two fell silent and returned to their cabin hand in hand.However, before entering, they still looked reluctantly in the direction Wang Luffy had just left.
Meanwhile, in his panic, Luffy instinctively returned to Nami's house.However, looking at the empty house, Luffy felt a deep sense of loneliness.
He grabbed a chair, lay down on it, leaned back, and stared blankly at the ceiling.
After continuing this action for a while, Wang Lufei's mood calmed down a lot.He stood up and looked around again, imprinting this cozy little house in his heart once more.
He then bent down, touched the ground with his forehead, said "Sayonara" to someone, and resolutely walked out of the house, flying towards Shimotsuki Village.
The howling cold wind on the way to Shimotsuki Village gradually calmed Wang Luffy's mind.As he calmed down and felt the cold wind, Wang Luffy pondered whether, after rescuing Kuina, he should go straight back to Marine Headquarters to be with Nami and the others, or go elsewhere to see if there was anything he could do.
As Wang Lufei was thinking, he suddenly saw a sea king leap out of the sea, and two words suddenly appeared in his mind: Shirahoshi.
Yes, it's Shirahoshi, the lovable mermaid.Her mother was apparently killed by Hody Jones when she was six years old.Shirahoshi is actually four years younger than herself.
Based on this calculation, Otohime died six months after Kuina, so after rescuing Kuina, I was able to go and rescue Otohime.
Thinking of this, Luffy couldn't help but sigh, "This is fate.The time for their deaths is so close together.And Nami and Nojiko, I'm sorry.It might be a long time before I can go back to be with you."
Wang Lufei, who had just set his goal in mind, happened to fly to Shimotsuki Village.Looking at this.On the unfamiliar island, Wang Lufei easily found an inconspicuous corner to land.
As soon as he reached land, Wang Luffy looked up at the sky and realized that the sun was about to set.He muttered to himself, "Time flies.It's getting dark so quickly.I need to find a dojo, pay the tuition to become an apprentice, and find a place to sleep first."
As Wang Lufei spoke, he activated his Observation Haki and ran towards the crowd.He hurried to a market, where vendors were setting up their stalls in preparation for the evening market opening.
I randomly asked someone where the most famous kendo dojo was on the island, and I easily found my destination by following the direction the person pointed.
Standing at the door, Wang Lufei smelled the fragrant aroma of food wafting from inside and thought to himself, "The food here is really good.Just by smelling it, you can tell the people here are connoisseurs."
Hearing Wang Lufei's words, a green-haired man sitting on a rock eating his meal couldn't help but reply, "You really are an expert.The food here is indeed quite delicious.This is what I'm holding.Want a bite?"
Wang Luffy glanced at the green-haired man and thought to himself that he had been so focused on finding the dojo when he activated his Observation Haki that he hadn't expected Zoro to be right at the door.At the same time, he calmly said, "No need.I came here to become your apprentice, not to eat."
Hearing this, Zoro became even more excited and said, "So it's Junior Brother.Then you definitely need to eat.Come on, I'll take you to the cafeteria and get you another meal.We can't let Junior Brother go hungry." As Zoro spoke, he thought that someone younger than him had finally come along, and he couldn't let him get away.
So, Luffy couldn't outmaneuver Zoro and was led to the cafeteria, but after entering the dojo's backyard, he found himself lost.
