Tonight, for the people of Cocoyasi Village, it is a joyful evening.
Similarly, it is also a happy night for Luffy and nami, who were passionately loving each other on bed.
...
Cocoyasi Village, banquet.
While Luffy and Nami are passionate, the other people of Cocoyasi Village are holding a grand feast.
In front of the bonfire.
Zoro, Johnny, and Yosaku are competing with the village policeman, Gonzo, in drinking. They are all heavy drinkers, and the competition has evolved from cups to barrels.
The nearby villagers are also constantly cheering, creating a lively atmosphere.
Marines such as Ripper sit around the bonfire, mingling with the villagers.
Nearby hospital.
After taking her medicine, Kaya lies on the hospital bed, smiling as she listens to the lively noise outside, gradually falling asleep.
Outside the hospital.
Usopp wants to visit but is told that the patient is already asleep.
Many children gather around him, wanting to continue listening to the Straw Hat Crew's adventure stories.
At this moment, Nojiko walks over with a glass of beer.
"You're Usopp, right?"
"Nami's sister!"
Usopp taps his fist on his palm, seeing through the truth at a glance, and proudly says, "You also want to hear the legendary adventures of Captain Usopp? I really can't do anything with you. Where should I start? Right, let's start with my fierce battle against the giant goldfish!"
No... what I want to ask about is Luffy.
Nogiko opens her mouth, but unfortunately, Usopp has already started talking non-stop.
The children cheer excitedly.
After listening for a while, Nojiko feels that the story is too fake, as if she has read it in a storybook somewhere, but she doesn't want to disturb the children's excitement.
She can only get up and leave. Usopp is completely immersed in telling the story and doesn't notice at all.
Walking towards the villagers' banquet, Nojiko sees Zoro again, but in the world of men competing in drinking, there is no room for her to interrupt.
"Ah... I can only ask Nami tomorrow."
Nojiko sighs.
Thinking of Nami.
"Oh, where is Nami? I haven't seen her since I helped her change her tattoo."
After searching around for a moment, Nojiko realizes that not only is Nami missing, but even the great hero Luffy is also gone.
After thinking for a moment, she reveals a mischievous smile.
"Forget it, let's go find Bellemere. On such a happy day, she should want to join too."
Nojiko takes two bottles of wine and quietly leaves the village.
Walking in the night, even from a distance, you can hear the joyful celebration.
"Bellemere..."
Finally, Nojiko arrives at a grave.
The grave of her mother, Bellemere.
She sits cross-legged and pours a bottle of wine in front of the grave:
"This is your favorite wine, don't say I didn't bring you a gift."
"It's been 8 years, Nami, she has grown up, she's doing well... She wasn't doing well before, but now she is."
"That girl is really amazing, she found an incredible man, you can rest assured."
"Today, all the fishmen of the Arlong Pirates are dead, Bellemere, you must be happy..."
Nojiko laughed, but tears couldn't stop flowing down her cheeks.
...
The next day.
Luffy walked out of the Sunny's cabin and onto the deck.
Daily routine.
Opened the adventure shop.
"Hmm? There are new goods."
Luffy's eyes lit up.
[Self-healing Fruit]: After use, as long as there is a breath left, it can restore to the state before being injured. Price: 100 adventure coins.
[Sunlight Fruit]: After use, it can absorb the energy of sunlight to restore physical strength. The stronger the sunlight, the better the effect, but it is ineffective under moonlight. Price: 5000 adventure coins, 90% off today, 500 adventure coins.
Let's not talk about the first self-healing fruit for now, it's probably something like a Senzu Bean. (From "Dragon Ball")
But as for the second [Sunlight Fruit], to be honest, he had never seen something so expensive before.
Not counting the [Awakening Fruit].
Of course, it's on sale!
90% off!
Who wouldn't buy it? Whoever can control this temptation, Luffy would call them saints.
He immediately looked at his savings.
"Just enough... Could it be that this system is deliberately guiding me to spend?"
Luffy suddenly had an incredible thought: "Could it be that the more money I have in my savings, the better the things it refreshes?"
Shaking his head, he decisively bought the two fruits.
[Adventure Coins]: 730 → 130
With a flash of white light, the two fruits appeared in his hands.
Luffy put away the self-healing fruit and ate the sunlight fruit on the spot.
In the next moment, he understood.
His body immediately responded to the effect of this fruit.
The early morning sunlight shone on his body, and his physical strength quickly recovered.
As everyone knows, all Demon Fruit powers consume one's own physical strength when activated.
But with the effect of the sunlight fruit, Luffy felt that as long as it was daytime, he could stay in his Nika form all the time without any problem.
"The Sun God paired with sunlight... Perfect, it's so perfect!"
Luffy nodded in satisfaction.
At this moment, Usopp's shout came from below the Sunny.
"Hey, Luffy, is Nami here?"
"What's wrong?"
"Nojiko asked me to find her."
"As for Nami... um."
She must be sleeping soundly, probably won't wake up until noon. She must have been tired from the intense passion last night.
"She's not feeling well."
Jumping down from the Sunny, Luffy patted Usopp's shoulder and said, "Let's go, I'll go see her."
Soon, outside the hospital, he met Nami's sister, Nojiko.
"Luffy!"
Nojiko waved and smiled, "I have nowhere to go, Captain Luffy, can you let me join your crew?"
