79: Chapter 79 Good News(Good news, good news!Huge clearance sale!Everything for two yuan!Everything for two yuan!Good news, good news.)
You didn't expect that, did you?The good news Luo brought in the last chapter was actually this.:-) Just kidding, the real story is coming up next.
Upon hearing Luo's words, the two humans and the bear asked in unison, "Good news?What good news?"
Luo, still buzzing with excitement, explained, "We have our own boat now.Grandpa Wolf gave us a super cool submarine called the Polar Submarine."
After Luo finished speaking, he looked at Wolf, who, seeing the pleading look in his eyes, smiled and said:
"Okay, okay.I'll take out the submarine blueprints and let Bepo and the others take a look.Don't look at me like that anymore; the old man's heart isn't good, he can't take it."
Wolf then pulled out an old submarine design drawing, unfolded it, and showed it to everyone.
Even the two people and the bear, who hadn't seen the finished product, were captivated by the cool mechanics on the blueprints, staring at them intently as if the drawings contained strippers.:-)
After watching for a while, the two men and the bear finally came to their senses and looked at Wolf with the same eager eyes as Luo had before.The meaning was clear: they wanted to see the finished product.
Wolf saw the looks in the eyes of the boys (the bears) and couldn't help but smile, saying, "No rush, no rush.It's already midday, let's eat first.I'll take you there after we eat."
Upon hearing this, the two people and the bear hurriedly rushed into the kitchen and quickly prepared a fairly substantial lunch.They urged everyone to finish the meal.
Then, somewhat helplessly, Wolf led the two men and the bear deeper into the dense forest to see the submarine.
Wang Lufei and Luo had already checked it out in the morning, so they didn't come along this time.They were now sitting inside the house staring at each other.Wang Lufei felt a little uneasy under their gazes and said:
"Xiao Luo, stop staring at me like that, okay?Your gaze always makes me feel a little uneasy.Just say what you want to say."
Upon hearing Luffy's words, Law spoke with a serious tone, "Luffy, tell me.Do you have some other purpose in coming to see me?"
Although what Fleet Admiral Sengoku said on the Den Den Mushi yesterday proved that you did indeed come to me with a mission to understand the situation, I can sense that your purpose is not that simple.
Wang Luffy hadn't expected Law to be so perceptive, able to sense that he had ulterior motives.So Wang Luffy said:
"You really can't hide it from me.I did have ulterior motives in inviting you to join my team.I know you have the Surgical Fruit, which can cure many terminal illnesses, so I want you to ensure the health of my crew."
After saying this, Wang Luffy noticed that Law's expression still held some disbelief, so he continued, "You don't actually think I'm after your Op-Op Fruit's immortality surgery, do you?I'm so young, why would I consider something like that?"
Luo said, "Being young doesn't mean you don't want to live forever.If you can really let me avenge Mr.Corazon myself, I will willingly perform the immortality surgery for you after it's done."
Wang Lufei replied somewhat helplessly, "Why don't you trust me?Since you've accepted me as captain, you should learn to trust me more."
I can tell you very clearly that I invited you to join my team not for that immortality surgery, but simply to ensure the health of my team members.Do you really think immortality is happiness?
When hundreds of years later, you are the only one left among all your peers in the world, everything you cared about and hated will drift away with time.At that time, your emotions will become weaker and weaker, and you may even forget what happiness is.
That's why I don't want any of that bullshit about eternal life; I just want to live a happy and fulfilling life in this one.
After listening, Luo remained silent, then knelt on one knee and said, "This humble general, Trafalgar Luo, is willing to serve the Monkey family through fire and water for generations."
Goodness, this is a mix-up.Anyway, that's roughly the gist: after Luffy said those words, Law's heart was completely opened, and now Law truly considers Luffy his captain.
Then the three humans and the bear returned.Seeing the change in the atmosphere inside the room, the two were puzzled.Bepo spoke up:
"I sense something is different.Something must have happened between you two.I feel like your relationship is different from when I saw you at noon.You don't seem so distant anymore, it's like you've become family."
Wang Lufei chuckled and said, "What nonsense are you talking about?Ever since you agreed to join my team, we've been family."
Upon hearing this, Bepo scratched his head and said, "Is that so?I misunderstood you.I'm really sorry."
Seeing his expression, Law and Luffy couldn't help but laugh like children.Afterwards, the group busied themselves preparing a sumptuous dinner to celebrate their acquisition of a submarine.
Days passed uneventfully, but on the fifth day, Wang Lufei said to everyone, "I know this is difficult, but I should set off."
I just received news that the Kingdom of Drum is about to experience unrest due to the king's harsh administration.Given my strength and mobility, I am the most suitable person to quell the unrest, so I need to go there.
Let's part ways here for now.I'll rejoin you after I've taken care of him.
Upon hearing this, Luo quickly said, "What nonsense are you talking about?I've already decided you're the captain, how can I let you go alone?Let's sail there together!"
Bepo and the others nodded quickly, saying, "We'll go too.Although we're not very strong, we can still help you with chores like serving tea and cooking.Don't worry about.""You abandoned us just because we're interns, Captain!"
"You guys." Wang Lufei was speechless, looking at them without knowing what to say, then looked to Wolf for help, asking him to say something.
Wolf then said, "Luffy, you don't need to look at me like that.The reason I gave you that submarine was so you could sail together.This is perfect, let's start your first battle on this voyage!"
Children, set sail aboard the Polar Submarine and let its name resound throughout the world!
Wolf then led them deep into the forest with an unquestionable air.Upon arriving at the Polar Diving vessel, he even pulled out a permanent compass and said:
"I don't have a compass from the Drum Kingdom, but this is a permanent compass from the Alabasta Kingdom.The two countries are very close, so you can use it to sail there."
Then Wolf resolutely herded the group of teenagers onto the submarine, and unequivocally uttered two words:
"set sail!"
