Tonight, for the people of Cocoyasi Village, is a joyful night.
Likewise, for Luffy, it was also a pleasant night.
The same goes for Nami.
She deliberately took a shower and changed her clothes to consult Captain Luffy about the Eighth Style of the Six Marine Styles after the seventh style.
She masters some seventh style techniques.
But the legendary eighth style has only been glimpsed occasionally in a few books and can be considered ignorant.
For the diligent and eager-to-learn Nami, Luffy held nothing back and dove wholeheartedly into it, deeply engraving every move and technique he mastered into Nami's soul, making her unable to forget them forever.
In this arduous battle, Nami naturally retreated step by step and ended up fainting from exhaustion.
However, Luffy isn't doing well either. The depth of the eighth style presents difficulties in teaching it smoothly to a beginner like Nami.
But Luffy wouldn't give up. He will not disappoint anyone who is diligent in learning.
After repeatedly teaching simply and clearly, he finally conveys his hard work to Nami.
It engraves the essence of the eighth style deep in Nami's heart.
--------
Cocoyasi Villa, banquet.
While Nami is learning new moves, the other people of Cocoyasi Village are throwing a big feast.
In front of the bonfire.
Zoro, Johnny and Yosaku are competing with Genzo in drinking. They are all big drinkers, and the competition has evolved from glasses to kegs.
Nearby residents are also constantly celebrating, creating a lively atmosphere.
Sailors like Matt sit around the campfire, mingling with the locals.
Nearby hospital.
After taking the medicine, Kaya lies on the hospital bed, smiling as she listens to the lively noise outside, gradually falling asleep.
Outside the hospital.
Usopp wanted to visit him, but was 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 that moment, Nojiko approaches with a glass of malted beer.
"You're Usopp, right?"
"Nami's sister!"
Usopp slams his fist into his palm, seeing the truth at a glance, and proudly says, "Do you also want to hear the legendary adventures of Captain Usopp? I really can't do anything to you. Where should I start? Okay, let's start with my fierce battle against the giant goldfish!"
"No... what I want to ask is about Luffy."
Nojiko opened her mouth, but unfortunately Usopp already started talking without stopping.
The children celebrate excitedly.
After listening for a while, Nojiko feels that the story is very fake, as if she had read it in some storybook, but she doesn't want to disturb the children's excitement.
She can only get up and walk away. Usopp was completely immersed in telling the story and didn't notice anything.
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 about Nami.
"Oh, where's Nami? I haven't seen her since I helped her change her tattoo."
After searching 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 revealed a mischievous smile.
"Forget it, let's go find Bellemere. On such a happy day, she should want to join us too."
Nojiko takes two bottles of wine and silently leaves the village.
Walking in the night, even from afar, you can hear the joyful celebration.
"Bellemere..."
Finally, Nojiko arrives at a tomb.
His mother Bellemere's grave.
She sits cross-legged and pours a bottle of wine in front of the tomb:
"This is your favorite wine, don't say I didn't bring you a gift."
"It's been 8 years, Nami, she's grown up, she's fine... She wasn't fine before, but she is now."
"This girl is really amazing, she found an amazing man, you can rest assured."
"Today, all of the Arlong Pirates' fishmen were killed, Bellemere, you must be happy..."
Nojiko laughed, but the tears wouldn't stop flowing.
...
The next day.
Luffy left the Sunny's cabin and went to the deck for his daily routine.
He opened the adventure store.
"Hmm? There are new products."
Luffy's eyes lit up.
[Healing Fruit]: After use, as long as there is a sigh remaining, it can restore the state before the injury.]
[Price: 100 adventure coins.]
[Sunlight Fruit]: After use, it can absorb sunlight energy 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 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 anything so expensive before.
Not to mention the [Awakening Fruit].
Of course it's on sale!
90% off!
Who wouldn't buy it? Those who can resist buying, Luffy would call them detoxified.
He immediately looked at his savings.
"Just enough... Is this system deliberately guiding me to spend?"
Suddenly, Luffy had an incredible thought: "Could it be that the more money I have in my savings account, the better the things it renews?"
Shaking his head, he decidedly bought the two fruits.
[Adventure Coins]: 730 → 130
With a flash of white light, the two fruits appeared in his hands.
Luffy kept the healing fruit and ate the sun fruit.
In the next moment, he understood the effect.
Your body immediately responded to the effect of this fruit.
The morning sunlight shone on his body, and his physical strength quickly recovered.
As everyone knows, all Devil Fruit powers consume the individual's physical strength when activated.
But with the effect of the Sunlight Fruit, Luffy felt that as long as it was daytime, he could remain in his Nikka form all the time without any problems.
"The Sun God paired with sunlight... Perfect, it's so perfect!"
Luffy nodded satisfied.
Just then, Usopp's scream came from beneath 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 be tired from practicing the Eighth Style yesterday.
"She's not feeling well."
Jumping off the Sunny, Luffy patted Usopp on the shoulder and said, "Come on, I'll go see her."
Soon, outside the hospital, he encountered Nami's sister, Nojiko.
"Luffy!"
Nojiko waved and smiled, "I have nowhere to go, Captain Luffy, can you let me join your crew?"
