Sailing: This Bounce-Bounce Fruit is a little different.

Hello, this is Naval Headquarters.

Damn it, we finally got through to headquarters!

Holding the receiver of the Den Den Mushi, Lieutenant Colonel Yuji of the branch office urgently reported:

"Hello! Reporting to headquarters! This is Lieutenant Commander Yus of the 16th Naval Division, Navy sergeant number 00734!"

"Due to the 'death' of Colonel Rat at headquarters, a special request is hereby submitted to headquarters!"

You don't need to shout so loudly, I can hear you.

A steady voice came from the microphone, and even the snail-like face of the Den Den Mushi (a type of electric scooped-up object) showed a calm, mimicking expression.

"receive…"

Trying to remain calm, Lieutenant Colonel Yuss reported in a deep voice, "There's a pirate named Luffy who's wielding a long, black wooden sword! He and his five crew members are considered enemies of our World Government..."

"Their names are..."

As Yu Si reported one by one.

Naval Headquarters.

The intelligence officers in the intelligence management office recorded them one by one.

cough!

Taking out the secretly taken photos and faxing them over via Den Den Mushi, Lieutenant Colonel Yus continued his report: "Given their ability to eliminate Aaron's gang in Aaron Park, they pose a very high threat!"

··· ·Requesting 0 flowers ········

"Please issue a bounty on their captain at headquarters... Send in the photos now!"

Click-clack!

Not long after.

[Photos received... only the captain's?]

"Yes, we'll send you the other photos as they're taken..."

Yu Si's tone became urgent.

"We request headquarters to confirm the facts as soon as possible... and approve our department's request!"

"Listen carefully! This pirate is a vicious and ruthless criminal! Put him on the wanted list! Capture him alive or kill him, it's all fair!!!"

【clear…】

beep—

The Den Den Mushi hung up.

Snap!

Yu Si put the microphone back down and slumped into his chair, saying with a complicated expression, "I've done more than enough for you, Colonel Rat!"

.. ......... .......

"I'll make good use of the money you hid in the branch; consider it payment for this. And if you end up in hell, don't come looking for me..."

Wheel!

The chair spun around, and Yoss turned around, looking at the Bailey wall behind him that was taller than a table, his eyes slowly becoming mesmerized.

"With this money! Our 'justice' will definitely be carried through to the end..."

……

Day and night alternate.

Night falls.

Several villages on the island held grand banquets simultaneously.

A lively bonfire, singing and dancing, and plenty of delicious food and drinks.

People endured hardship and humiliation to live their lives, and finally welcomed the joyous laughter of this day.

Cocoa West Village.

A corner of the banquet.

"They're all smiling happily..."

Listening to some unknown, cheerful music, Huang Hai took a swig of sweet white beer, and watching the beautiful women singing and dancing with abandon, he said with a smile, "This is the kind of life we ​​should have after a battle."

Ok……

Sanji, leaning against a pillar, exhaled a puff of white smoke and laughed, "I'm so full. It's not so bad to be well-fed every day."

"Hey, Sanji."

Usopp came over and asked with a smile, "What did you put on top of the cantaloupe we ate last? Kaya said it looked delicious..."

"That's [prosciutto and cantaloupe]..."

Sanji puffed out a cloud of smoke and said, "It's a unique delicacy on this island. The taste is pretty good, with the sweetness of cantaloupe and the savory flavor of raw ham..."

"Where did you get this? I'd like to get some for Kaya and the others to try..."

"Who knows? Several villages are having buffet dinners, I wonder where they got the food from."

"Oh, I see. I'll go look for it then..."

"..."

While the group was drinking and chatting...

"Um...can we talk?" (Nine)

Chapter 108 Weather Sensing!

"It's Nojiko..."

Turning his head, Huang Hai saw Nuoqi standing tall and beautiful behind him and said with a smile, "What? Are you ready to give me an answer?"

"Hey! Are you serious?"

Zoro was speechless. "I thought you were joking this afternoon."

“I think so too…” Sanji looked up, surprised. “Are you sure you want to invite her?”

"He's a great partner, isn't he?"

With a smile, Huang Hai looked at Nokiko and said with a slight smile, "Of course, that's on the condition that you're willing to join us..."

"Can you tell me..."

Nojiko, with a carefree and uninhibited expression, asked, "Why did you want to invite me?"

"After all, compared to Nami's knowledge of navigation, as you've seen, I know absolutely nothing. So I really don't understand why you suddenly invited me?"

"Don't you want to go out and see the world?"

Upon hearing this, Huang Hai, nicknamed "297," smiled slightly, gazed at Nojiko, and said, "Go around the world to see different scenery, try exciting adventures, and live a different life..."

"You're only a little older than Nami, don't you ever want to try everything I've mentioned?"

Sometimes fate is that simple! A fork in the road is placed in front of you, and whether you want to take it or not is up to you!

"If I really had to give a reason... it would be that I suddenly really want to see what you will become after your future is changed!"

Change, huh...

Nogiko, who had never thought of these things before, was momentarily stunned.

Looking back on my mediocre twenty years, I realize there was nothing worthwhile; it seems there's nothing at all worth remembering.

The only person worth remembering is long dead.

Now, suddenly, another path lay before her, and for some reason, her heart began to pound wildly.

Perhaps a change of pace in life is necessary...

That was pretty exciting!

Thinking of this, Nojiko suddenly became a little shy.

"But I don't know how to do anything. At most, I can only grow some oranges, and even if I were to fight, I could only manage a draw with Nami..."

That's enough.

Standing up, Huang Hai smiled and extended his right hand: "When the opportunity arises in the future, I'll get you a more powerful Devil Fruit. Now, I can say welcome to the team, Nojiko."

"Then...please take good care of me!"

With a hearty laugh, Nojiko grabbed Huang Hai's hand and said, "Don't bully me in the future, or Nami will get angry."

"Hahaha, I'd never dare to..."

Withdrawing his right hand, Huang Hai chuckled and shook his head, pointing at Zoro and Sanji, and introduced them: "My name is Hai. Luffy, you can call me Hai like them! The one with the sword is Zoro, the one smoking is Sanji, and there's Usopp with the gun, Kaya who can read minds, and Nami, whom you know..."

"With you, our pirate crew has seven members now! Just ask the others if you don't understand anything..."

Well……
