Suddenly, Cook, Nami, Zoro and others at the same table became interested.
Looking at the two people confronting each other, these guys who wanted to watch the show clenched their fists.
They wished that they would fight right now so that they could watch the excitement to their heart's content.
Unfortunately, Luffy did not do as they wished.
After staring at each other for a while, he suddenly softened and lay back on the chair, waving his hands weakly and said:
"Forget it, I'm full and don't want to move, so I'll let you go today."
Seeing this, Hina also snorted coldly and retracted her momentum
"Humph, then go back and have a good rest.
When Hina comes to see you again in two days, Hina hope you won't make excuses to bail.~"
The sudden handshake and peace between the two sides made the crowd unhappy.
But since the two had made an agreement, there was still something interesting to watch.
Everyone was no longer anxious and began to discuss the chances of winning between the two in private.
Luffy pretended not to hear the whispers of these idiots, reached out and patted Ain's shoulder beside him, and said to Hina:
"Sister Hina, can you lend me a small ship first? I need Ain to help me with some things."
her eyes swept over the two of them, and Hina nodded and agreed happily, without asking what she needed to deal with.
Luffy naturally thanked her again, but Hina was already aroused by the battle in a few days.
After taking them to the guest room to rest, she left alone to make preparations.
"I'll let you be happy for two more days, and you'll cry when I defeat you."
Outside the guest room, Luffy thought of Hina's confident back as she left, and he laughed.
Shaking his head, he closed the door and turned to walk into the house.
Ain was sitting on the bed at this time, staring at him with his arms folded across his chest.
Since she was going to carry out a secret mission soon, she took off her conspicuous marine uniform. She changed into a vibrant tight vest and shorts sports suit, which perfectly outlined her graceful figure.
Especially the movement of her arms folded across her chest, which made the towering figure in front of her even more majestic.
"you...are you familiar with Captain Hina?"
The girl's cold voice came, and Luffy was stunned and then realized that she was jealous.
Soon, he immediately denied it three times.
"We are not familiar with each other, we have only met a few times in the headquarters, and I was just pretending just now."
Luffy shook his head like a rattle, trying his best to distance himself from Hina.
Ain, who was a little dissatisfied at first, couldn't help laughing secretly when he saw his behaviour, and her anger subsided a lot.
"Okay, okay, I don't mean to blame you, I'm just asking casually."
After muttering in his heart, Luffy put on a smile and walked to the bed and sat down, holding her hands and looking her up and down, and praised:
"you are so beautiful. If you didn't have a mission to perform, I would really hate to let you leave."
"Idiot, don't be so blunt."
Ain's cheeks flushed immediately, and she cursed in shame and anger.
Luffy shook his head and said nothing, and his fiery eyes swept Ain from head to toe, especially staying on the mountain and legs for the longest time.
Ain couldn't stand his fiery gaze, and pushed him away.
She said, "I'm going to carry out the mission, wait for the good news," and ran out in a hurry.
Smelling the lingering fragrance of the girl in the room, Luffy looked down at himself with regret and lamented:
"Brother, wait for two more years. When the time comes, I will definitely take you to see the world."
He walked to the door and was about to close it again.
"Wait a minute. Luffy, I have something to tell you."
A white and tender little hand pressed against the door.
Luffy looked at the person with interest, and without saying anything, he stepped aside to let her in. At the last moment when the door closed, only a flash of orange passed by in the room.
With Hina's permission, Ain successfully borrowed a small sailboat and left the G27 branch.
Sitting alone on the deck, stroking Yubashiri lying on her thighs, Ain's thoughts were a little scattered.
Thinking back to the rapid progress of Luffy in the past few days, she frowned and felt a little distressed.
"Why did I agree to him so easily? He didn't say anything sweet to me, nor did he confess his feelings.
But I just muddled along with him to this point. What went wrong?"
After thinking hard for a long time, she still couldn't find the answer, but gradually got into a wrong idea.
"By the way, was that Nami hiding in the corner just now?
And why was she there? Was she eavesdropping on our conversation, or..."
When it comes to her and Luffy, Ain becomes extra calm and serious.
She starts to think about everything Nami has done since that day when she discovered their secret.
She speculates on the truth of her eavesdropping on her conversation with Luffy.
Thinking about it this way, her behaviour over the past two days does seem a bit abnormal.
Especially....That look.
Yes!
Ain suddenly tightened his grip on Yubashiri, and the aura of a swordsman was undisguised.
It was that look, not the look of a curious person prying into a secret.
It was the look of a loser looking for the flaws of a winner, wanting to replace her!
"Damn it, that little bitch, how dare she!!"
Anyway, after a lot of random thoughts and blind analysis, she really discovered the truth.
'No, I have to go back quickly. What if this despicable girl succeeds while I'm away!
No, I need to successfully finish Luffy's mission.
If I go back empty-handed, Luffy will definitely be unhappy, which is equivalent to giving that kid a chance.
On the contrary, as long as I complete Luffy's mission perfectly, he will value me more and will be more dependent on my help.'
"That's right, that's it!"
The girl clenched her fists and was full of fighting spirit, not realizing that she had gone off topic.
From the beginning, whether to accept Luffy, she directly turned into how to please Luffy, acquiescing that the other party was her private property.
If Luffy knew about Ain's transformation at this time, he would definitely give a thumbs up and shout
No matter what, Ain made up her mind and no longer hesitated.
She took out the Den Den Mushi that Luffy gave her and called the contact person of the Revolutionary Army.
On the other side, Alabasta.
After crossing the desert and crossing the Sandora River, Koala finally arrived at the Rainbase after going through untold hardships.
Koala, who had just booked a room in the hotel to take a bath, wash off the dust on her body and relieve the fatigue of the past few days.
Hearing the phone ringing suddenly next to the bathtub, she was instantly awakened.
"Haah~ I actually fell asleep. It seems that I was really tired these past two days."
After stretching and rubbing his eyes, Koala turned her attention to the buzzing Den Den Mushi.
Surprised, Koala quickly stood up. Because of his anxiety, she caused quite a splash in the bathtub.
Picking up the microphone, Koala lay on the edge of the bathtub and asked excitedly:
"Moshi Moshi, is this Little Seagull?"
Ain's face was filled with black lines. Who on earth came up with this code name? It was too embarrassing.
She suppressed her complaints and asked in a muffled voice:
"Are you a little flame?"
"It's me, you finally contacted me."
Koala was a little excited, and her slender legs swayed with her mood, stirring up quite a few waves
"Little Seagull, where are you now? Have you arrived in Alabasta?"
"Almost. Please tell me where you are and I'll come find you.
Also, don't call me Little Seagull, call me...Forget it."
Ain hesitated, but still accepted this shameful code name.
Koala was silent for a moment, because she didn't trust the marine very much and was afraid that they would ambush her.
She only said vaguely:
"I'm in the Rainbase, contact me when you get there."
Ain agreed decisively, "Okay, see you in the Rainbase." After a few simple words, the two hung up the phone.
After putting the Den Den Mushi away, Koala stayed in the bathroom for a while before coming out. Her white and tender feet stepped on the solid wood floor, and her five toes were slightly curled side by side, like tempting grapes.
"Before the little seagull comes, I have to go around the Rainbase and try to collect some useful information."
Muttering to herself, she took out a bath towel to wrap her curvy and exciting body, and walked out of the bathroom.
On the small sailboat, after Ain put away the Den Den Mushi, he also hurried to the Rainbase.
After entering Alabasta, using the map provided by the G27 branch,
Ain followed the Shandora River all the way deep into the land, and soon arrived at the agreed target - the Rainbase.
When Ain arrived at the Rainbase, Ain called Little Flame as soon as possible.
Soon, the two agreed on a meeting place.
In order to prevent an ambush, the two sides struggled for a long time before they successfully connected.
When Koala saw Ain for the first time, she couldn't help but complain:
"What are you wearing? You are not allowed to dress like this in the desert."
Koala, who was wearing a short skirt showing her long white legs a few days ago, commented on Ain's outfit unconsciously.
Ain glanced at the pedestrians on the street wearing turbans and robes, and wrapped herself tightly in them.
She looked at her own vest and shorts again, and her pretty face suddenly became hot.
Seeing that the marine was embarrassed in front of her, Koala nodded with satisfaction.
After waving her hand for her to follow, Koala took her all the way to the room she rented.
Throwing an extra robe she bought to Ain, Koala sat on the bed with her legs crossed and asked the first question.
"First of all, do you know what mission you are carrying out and who I am?"
Ain nodded decisively without hesitation.
"Yes, the target of this mission is Nico Robin, you are a member of the Revolutionary Army"
"Well, I'm glad to know." she nodded with satisfaction, and then Koala asked for it without hesitation:
"The person who asked you to come said before reaching a cooperation agreement with us that he had a way to prove that he is absolutely friendly to the Revolutionary Army.
He would also bring me detailed information about Nico Robin. Now is the time for you to show your sincerity."
"Well, he gave me this letter before I left, saying that you will understand after reading it."
As he said that, Ain took out a letter from her chest.
This action made Koala stunned, and she even forgot to reach out to take it.
Ain also knew that her action was a bit bold, so she lowered her head and whispered:
"This letter is very important. It's safest to put it here."
"Ha, ha, I understand."
Koala agreed awkwardly and hurriedly took the envelope.
Before she even read it, she smelt a scent of milk.
Touching her nose awkwardly, Koala forced her attention on the letter and read it carefully.
To my father, the leader of the revolutionary army, Monkey D. Dragon.
After just reading the beginning, Koala screamed and threw the letter away.
"He he he, this this, how is this possible?!"
"Hey, what are you doing? This letter is related to our next mission...."
Ain subconsciously scolded this unreliable girl, but she was also shocked and lost her ability to speak after reading only the beginning.
For a moment, the two people in the room were at a loss and stood still, like two statues.
The leader of the Revolutionary Army is Luffy's father/the unknown marine is the leader's son!!
This shocking secret was like a bolt from the blue, hitting the top of their heads.
Instantly, their CPUs were overloaded, and their heads were dull and stagnant on the spot.
Taking a deep breath, Ain's heart was still beating non-stop, and she had to turn her head to look at Koala.
And Koala also covered her chest, looking like she had seen a ghost, and cast a look at her.
The two women only exchanged glances and understood each other's meaning.
Instantly, their attitudes changed drastically, and Koala pulled Ain to sit next to them.
Ain held the letter in his hand, and the two changed their previous mutual distrust, and read it carefully with face to face and fiery eyes.
To my father, the leader of the Revolutionary Army, Monkey D. Dragon.
Although I don't know why the Revolutionary Army paid attention to me.
But I have to say, maybe it's fate.
Grandpa told me your identity a long time ago.
Out of curiosity, I also looked up the deeds of you and the Revolutionary Army.
How should I put it, most of my ideals coincide with yours, At least the concept of overthrowing the world government and protecting civilians is the same.
In this case, I will just say it straight.
Dad, whom I have never met, remember to take me with you when you go to the World government.
Your marine son, Monkey D. Luffy, respectfully submits.
After closing the letter, the two women couldn't come back to their senses for a long time.
Glancing at the marine woman next to her, Koala suddenly clapped her hands excitedly and praised:
"You did a great job; worthy of being the leader's son."
Ain was still confused.
It was the first time she knew that Luffy had such a grand goal and a bizarre life experience.
This made her understand and identify with the man more, and she also admired him more.
"Let me introduce myself. I am Koala, 17 years old, a member of the Revolutionary Army."
Faced with the little hand in front of him, Ain did not hesitate and also reached out to shake her hand.
"My name is Ain, I'm 21 years old, and I'm a member of the Marine Guerrilla squad."
The two women held each other's hands tightly. At this moment, they finally stood on the same front and recognized each other.
After letting go, Koala carefully folded the letter and prepared to put it back into the envelope to bring to the leader Dragon.
However, when she opened the envelope, she suddenly found another piece of paper inside.
After taking it out and taking a look, she realized that this was the information about their target - Nico Robin.
"Oh, yes, yes, I almost forgot the most important thing."
She hurriedly took out the note and shared it with Ain. There was not much content on it.
It just said that Robin was probably in a casino called Rain Dinner in Rainbase at this time.
If you want to find her, you can try there.
"Hey, we are actually in the Rainbase. It seems that we are quite lucky."
Koala said in surprise.
Ain nodded at the side. She wanted to complete the mission and return to Luffy as soon as possible.
If the target was in the Rainbase, it would save them a lot of time on the journey.
"During your time in Rainbase, have you heard of Rain Dinners?"
As she had just arrived, she chose to ask Koala who had arrived earlier.
She was not disappointed. Koala nodded happily and shared:
"Yes, I know.
Rain Dinners is a landmark building in this city. It looks like a pyramid and is also the largest casino in the Rainbase. It is also the asset of Shichibukai Crocodile. Many people who come here to visit will go there."
"Crocodile...This is a tough guy; we'd better not get into conflict with him."
Ain analysed, pinching his chin.
Koala also nodded in agreement.
With a goal in mind, the two women didn't hesitate, put on their robes and went out directly to check the situation at the Rain Dinners.
"This is the Rain Dinners? How exaggerated."
Standing in front of the 100-meter-high pyramid, Ain couldn't help but sigh.
Koala nodded in agreement. When she first saw it, she was also a little shocked.
"Let's go in and look around first, maybe we can meet the target directly."
Koala said, pushing the door open and walking in with great interest, searching the casino with her eyes.
Ain came in later, she didn't think the target would appear so easily, so she decided to observe first before making plans.
