Chương 39: Page 39

"Idiot, if it's your fault, then it's your fault."

"You've gotten quite the brat, haven't you? You've learned to talk back to your sister, haven't you? Just wait and see how I deal with you."

As she spoke, she began to tickle Nami's itch.

This immediately made Nami burst into laughter, her long, straight legs kicking back and forth on the bed.

Even so, she still retorted defiantly:

"Hahaha, you bastard Nojiko, hahaha, I've never listened to you!"

After saying that, she gritted her teeth, used her leg to push Nojiko off her, and then roared as she pounced on him.

Nojiko, not to be outdone, got entangled with her and soon they were rolling around in a ball.

When Bitts returned to the room where the two women were, having bought breakfast from the village, he found them naked, embracing and rolling around together.

For a moment, he questioned the sexual orientation of the two women.

"Well... I know you two sisters have a very good relationship, but... how should I put it... I still don't condone certain things that cross ethical boundaries."

Upon hearing the sound and seeing out of the corner of her eye that it was Bitz returning, Nami, who was already furious, immediately lit up and called for backup.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Come help me! I'm going to fight her to the death today!"

Because Nojiko was in a superior position with her back to Bits, she couldn't see who Nami was talking to.

Even a fool would know who would be here at this time.

"No way! They're all comrades who've fought side by side in the same bed, you can't show favoritism to any of them!"

After saying that, the two women started tearing at each other again.

After listening to their argument for a while, Bitts roughly understood what was going on.

After returning to the living room and casually tossing breakfast onto the table, he happily moved a chair back to the bedroom, sat down, and began to watch the show.

"Hit her! Pull her hair! Yes, keep going, just like that!"

No, you can't bite there! That's my and my child's future food supply! Hold your tongue!

Bitz finally understood why some people enjoyed watching women fight in their past lives.

Although the two women were sisters, they were truly ruthless when they started eating, making Beetz feel a pang of pain in his chest, which then made him even more excited.

When Robin and her friends found the sisters' house based on information they gathered from the villagers, they found two women with disheveled hair, numerous bite marks and scratches all over their bodies, and Beetz standing to the side with an expression that seemed to indicate they hadn't had enough.

Seeing this, even Robin couldn't help but frown, coldly muttering "scumbag" to Pix.

Bitz looked completely bewildered and raised his hands, feeling wronged.

"Hey, hey, hey, it's not what you think! Let me explain!!"

A few minutes later, the women, having learned the truth, sat around a table. The two sisters, who had just been fighting, miraculously became friendly again and sat down close together.

Seeing the somewhat awkward situation, Bitts knew it was time for him to step forward and say something.

"Ahem, although there were some minor mishaps, we still want to welcome our two new members. Let's give a round of applause to Nami and her sister Nojiko."

As soon as he finished speaking, a sparse clapping sounded in the living room.

After their earlier playful fight, Nojiko finally understood and accepted the reality that he had given away his prize for nothing.

But she had absolutely no intention of joining Bitches' group.

"I'll pass on to you. I want to stay in the village and take care of the orange grove that Bellemere left behind."

"You can rest assured about that; you can transplant a few onto our boat later."

The rest, if you wish, you can hire the villagers to look after them.

If all else fails, I can arrange for it to be shipped to Alabasta on the Grand Line first, and then make a decision."

Bitz had no intention of abandoning the woman he had his eye on; Nojiko was one of the targets of his trip to the East Blue.

Now that we've done it all at once, there's no chance she'll escape.

So he made the above two suggestions.

Nami also thought Beetz's suggestion was good, and since Nojiko was already Beetz's woman like her, there was no need for her to stay in the village alone.

While she wanted to get to know the world better, she also longed to have family by her side.

So they also spoke up to help persuade them.

"Come on, I'll feel guilty leaving my widowed sister at home while I'm out having fun."

"Pah, who's lonely? Uncle Jian and everyone else in the village are all here."

"But, the only real family we have left are the two of us."

Nami took Nojiko's arm, shook it vigorously, and deliberately pouted and acted coquettishly:

"Come with us and let's go see this wonderful world together, just for my sake."

"..." Nojiko, unable to resist Nami's cute and charming behavior, finally sighed and nodded in agreement.

"Okay, I'll do as you say."

"yeah--!!"

Nami jumped up happily, and the other women finally accepted them from the bottom of their hearts, welcoming the two sisters with either envy or joy.

Phew~ It wasn't easy. After being in the East China Sea for so long, I've finally completed two-thirds of the mission.

All that's left is that frail Miss Kaya.

Nami happens to know the location of Xiluobu Village; we can just ask her later.

Bitz was already planning his future. Once he had taken Kaya away, there would be no place in the East China Sea that he would want.

Moreover, the Marineford War should be starting soon, and he hasn't decided whether or not to get involved.

The main reason is that there's no one he's interested in there. The only person he could consider as a target, Hancock, could be snatched away beforehand, so there seems to be no need for him to get involved.

Of course, that's just his current thought. Who knows, he might decide to go and join in the fun if he gets the mood.

As for now, he wants to stay in the village for a few more days, since it's rare to have such a lively banquet.

Moreover, transplanting the orange tree will take some time, and the two sisters will also need time to say goodbye to the villagers and their adoptive mother.

And so, the group stayed in Cocoyasi Village for another three days. It wasn't until the fourth day, when the villagers bid them a reluctant farewell, that they set sail for their next destination.

Standing on the ship's railing, gazing at the sea, Nojiko couldn't help but sigh with emotion:

"To be honest, this is my first real trip to sea."

I thought I'd just be a country girl in my village for the rest of my life, but I never imagined I'd be able to go out to sea and see such a beautiful scene.

Nami laughed and hooked her arm around her neck from behind, resting her chin on her shoulder, and said smugly:

"Hmph, now you know how to thank me, huh? But this is nothing compared to what's to come. There are still many amazing places on the sea."

Nami's longing in her voice also touched Nojiko, who was finally able to leave the village behind and enjoy the pleasures of going to sea.

"So, what's our next target? Has Bitts decided yet?"

Hearing Nojiko's question, Nami also stopped smiling, let go of his hand, and began to seriously fiddle with the sea chart.

"The next stop is Xiluobu Village, which is a place I have been to before."

It's said that Beetz went there to find someone, and once he found them, he planned to return to the Grand Line.

"Eh, the Grand Line? That legendary Devil's Sea???"

Nojiko opened her mouth wide in surprise, pointed at herself and stammered:

"No, are you kidding me? I'm a newbie who just started sailing."

The second stop is the Grand Line or something, that's too much pressure!

Nami was also a little scared. Although she was an experienced sailor, she had never been to the Grand Line. She had only occasionally heard terrifying rumors about that sea.

Swallowing hard, she forced herself to remain calm and reassured her sister, "It should be alright, right? Bitz and the others all came from the Grand Line."

Nothing happened to Karina after she entered the Grand Line from the East Blue.

With them around, I should be fine, probably.

"Hey, at least be more certain in your tone. This doesn't sound like there's no problem at all."

Nami's guilty look left Nojiko speechless.

She shook her head, rubbing her forehead. She decided to ask someone more reliable.

After saying goodbye to Nami, who still needed to plan the route and adjust the course, Nojiko wandered around the ship alone.

This matter should have been asked of Captain Beetz, but he spent the whole night playing poker with Robin and Tina.

After boarding the ship, the three of them went straight back to their rooms to catch up on sleep, and they are probably still asleep.

So she had no choice but to go find Vivi, Michita, and Karina.

Of the three, according to Nami herself, Michita is a bit difficult to get along with and a petty person who sees everyone as a rival.

Karina was her enemy, and the two usually couldn't stand each other.

Vivi, who has been caring for and looking after Nami since she joined the group, has the gentlest personality, and Nami strongly recommends that they get along well with her first.

When Nokigo found Vivi, the girl was fiddling with her fishing rod at the stern of the boat, preparing to cast a couple of times.

After three days together, Nojiko had become somewhat familiar with the other passengers on the ship, so she didn't hesitate to approach them.

"Do you need my help?"

Looking up, what catches the eye is a pair of wheat-colored feet painted with purple nail polish, and on the feet are a pair of black high-heeled sandals.

Looking up from the feet, you can see two bare, firm calves, and although the thighs are fleshy, they don't appear thick.

A more secluded area was hidden by a pair of off-white denim shorts, making it impossible to see what was inside.

Above that was a pure white sleeveless vest, with two large, snow-white cakes—a favorite among men—hidden inside.

Although her appearance was not much different from when they first met in the village, this new look of Nokiko gave Vivi a refreshing and more charming feeling.

"No need, Sister Nuoqi, I've almost finished."

As she spoke, she tied the hook on the fish and happily held up the fishing rod to show off:

"Ta-da! Vivi's specially made, top-of-the-line fishing rod is complete!"

"How about a competition with me? Let's see who catches more."

Faced with Vivi's challenge, Noki, who had come to build a good relationship with her, readily agreed.

So, after going to the warehouse to get another fishing rod for Nojiko, two long spears were quickly set up at the stern of the boat.

Holding her meticulously modified masterpiece, Vivi happily swung her fair legs, looking full of confidence.

"It's a deal! Whoever catches 10 first wins!"

Looking at the girl's strongest fishing rod, which was identical to his own except for being slightly thicker, Noki tilted his head and chuckled:

"Let's talk about it after you actually catch one. I know the fish in the East China Sea better than you do."

"Hmph, you mean the Air Force, huh? I'm not some idiot who only knows how to use gas bombs to blast fish, there's absolutely no way I'm talking about the Air Force!"

"Oh? Then let's wait and see."

My new book is now available! I hope you, my dear readers, will give me some flowers and monthly tickets to encourage me to update more often and to tip me. I would be extremely grateful.

Chapter 59 Xiluobu Village, Miss Kaya More than 20 minutes later, looking at the overflowing bucket of water beside Nuoqi, Weiwei couldn't accept it and threw down her fishing rod, angrily saying:

"Why?! Why can't I catch a single Yue-Yi/First-release?"

I've already switched to the best fishing rod and bait; logically, this shouldn't be possible.

Nojiko, having caught a great catch, smiled as she slung her fishing rod over her shoulder and shook her head at the girl who looked utterly defeated.

"You're still too young. Fishing isn't about the quality of your equipment, it's about patience and skill."

"Hmph," Weiwei snorted defiantly, crossed her arms, and turned her head away.

"It must be a problem with the sea. If it were on the Grand Line, you would never be a match for me."
