Chapter 227 Boss Goku!

Hobby Island, in front of the coast where the Cocoa Village is located.

Nami left without saying goodbye at the Barati restaurant on the sea and secretly drove away the Merry. After securing the Merry, she took out the treasure she had obtained from her room.

"With this treasure, we only have 7 million Baileys left to reach our goal."

Looking at the bag of treasure in her arms, a slight smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

But then, the smile turned bitter.

"I'm sorry, Luffy, I can't go on with you guys."

Turning her head to look at the empty sea, her face darkened and a hint of guilt flashed in her eyes.

It was such a wonderful life to think about the life I had sailing on the sea with Luffy, Zoro, Usopp and others.

It was so beautiful that she forgot the fate she was carrying.

until--

After she accidentally saw Aaron's bounty on the boat, she realized that everything before her was just a dream.

Her destiny is to collect 100 million berries and redeem the village from the ruthless murderer Aaron.

As for traveling to the Grand Line and drawing a map of the whole world, that is nothing more than an unattainable dream.

"Sorry, Luffy."

In Aaron's Paradise.

"Haha! Our lovely Nami is back."

On the throne, there was a tall and strong fishman with a long and sharp nose like a sawtooth. When he saw Nami returning, he let out a unique laugh.

And he is the leader of the Arlong Pirates. Eight years ago, he attacked and occupied more than 20 villages including the Cocoa Village where Nami was located. He also shot and killed Nami's adoptive mother and forced Nami to make a nautical chart for him - the fishman Arlong!
"How is it, how much did you gain this time?"

Aaron stared at Nami who walked in from outside. While he was laughing heartily, there was an imperceptible sinister flash in his eyes.

"Not bad, I will be able to collect 100 million Baileys soon. Then, Aaron, will you keep your word and return the village to me?"

Nami put on a fake smile on her face.

She has been working hard for this goal for eight years. Now that the final goal has come, she naturally does not want to see Aaron go back on his word.

"Hahaha! Of course, I, Aaron, always keep my promises!"

Aaron answered confidently.

Nami also felt relieved.

That's good, then she will be able to collect the last 7 million baileys and successfully redeem the Kokoa West Village.

After she left, Aaron called over one of his men with a sinister smile on his face.

"Go tell Colonel Mouse that Nami hid 100 million berries in Kokoa West Village, and tell him that the money was found by me and he is 70% to 30%."

Of course, Aaron is a man who keeps his promises.

If Nami put 100 million berries in front of him, he would follow the agreement and not only return her freedom but also spare Kokoani Village.

But how could he bear to let go of this genius who could make nautical charts?

He would never let the other party go until all the nautical maps were drawn.

Well, don't blame him for taking away the treasure that the other party had accumulated over many years of hard work.

"Hehehe, Nami, you better continue to work for me obediently."

After watching the subordinate who brought the news leave, Aaron showed a smug and playful smile on his face.

He was familiar with Nami's character and knew that Nami would never dare to turn against him because of this.

In other words, he can make a lot of money for free this time hahaha!
Hahahahaha! !

On Hobby Island, somewhere remote and unknown on the coast.

Looking at the man who suddenly knelt down in front of him, Wukong was stunned for two seconds and then quickly pulled him up.

"Why are you kneeling down? Who are you? I feel like you look familiar, but I can't remember who you are."

He was really confused.

Why did you kneel down to him for no reason?

After the man was pulled up by him, it seemed as if a wall appeared in front of his eyes in an instant.

"Wow, you're so tall!"

Wukong looked up at the man and found that he was several heads taller than him.

"I'm sorry, Master Goku, I'd better sit down."

The man felt that he could not let Wukong look up and talk to him like that, so he quickly sat down cross-legged again.

In this way, his height is finally on the same level as Goku.

"So, who are you?"

Looking at the man in front of him with short black hair and a somewhat fierce yet familiar face, Wukong asked curiously again.

"My name is Puyol. Half a month ago, you rescued me from the Celestial Dragons in the Sabaody Archipelago."

The man, that is, Puyol, said with a moved expression.

Chabaoti Archipelago?
Celestial Dragons?
Wukong blinked, then suddenly realized: "Oh! It's you! No wonder you look familiar."

Then he looked at the other person and said, "You are much stronger now than before."

When he first met the other person, he was so thin that only a skeleton was left and his life was in danger.

Now, although the other party is still quite thin, he at least looks like a normal person, and his life breath is also very stable.

"Yes! I was tortured by the Celestial Dragons before, and I can't hold on any longer."

Puyol clenched his fists, his eyes filled with hatred.

"At that time, I just wanted to die quickly and be free. I had had enough of this humiliation."

"I never thought that I could survive. After all, who in this world would dare to save me from the Celestial Dragons?"

“But I didn’t expect it!”

His expression suddenly became excited, and his eyes were full of admiration and respect as he looked at Wukong.

"But I didn't expect you! Master Goku! You would stand up in that situation, just to prevent me from being hurt by the Celestial Dragons again."

"You know, even though I was a little unconscious at that time, I could still hear and feel your voice and every move you made."

"There is no doubt that you, Lord Goku, are the god who pulled me back from hell!"

He spoke passionately, with tears in his eyes. His ferocious face seemed to turn into a harmless little lamb at this moment.

Wukong smiled and scratched his head: "But, it was actually Sabo who saved you."

Strictly speaking, he only stopped the atrocities of the Celestial Dragons at that time, but the one who really rescued Puyol was Sabo, who searched for the key from the Celestial Dragons and untied the chains and explosive collar.

"No, Sabo told me that if you hadn't stepped forward first, he wouldn't have been able to take me away."

Puyol shook his head.

In his mind, although Sabo is also a benefactor, his kindness is far less than that of Goku.

"So you are the one who really saved me."

Goku blinked.

"Well, it doesn't matter. No matter who it is, I will stop it under that situation, hahaha." "So, what do you want from me now?"

He remembered that after boarding the ship, Puyol was carried by revolutionary soldiers to a room in the cabin.

He hasn't appeared in public since then. According to Sabo, it seems that he was very weak and had been lying in bed resting.

That was why he felt that the other person was familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen him.

After hearing Wukong's question, Puyol's expression became serious.

"I came here for only one purpose, I want to follow you, Master Goku!"

He was a pirate captain who arrived at the Sabaody Archipelago and was about to venture into the New World of the Grand Line.

But in that year, he was captured by the men sent by the Celestial Dragons and became their slave.

The pirate group he led also suffered heavy casualties in that battle. All the leaders were killed, and only a few minions escaped.

It can be said that his pirate group no longer exists, and he has become a complete loner.

He can choose to return to his old job, continue to recruit crew members and become a pirate captain, or he can, under Sabo's recruitment, become a revolutionary soldier who subverts the World Government to avenge the Celestial Dragons.

You can also retire, choose a remote village, get married, have children, and live a simple life.

And other options
But he didn't want any of it.

After being saved by Wukong's light, he had only one thought left in his mind, and that was to follow Lord Wukong until death!
The reason why he waited until now was because his body had only recently recovered to a state where he could move freely.

After being able to move again, he immediately got a small corner of Goku's life paper from Sabo and chased after him.

"Huh? Follow me?"

Goku scratched his face.

"Yes! I heard from Sabo that this is your first time sailing, right? Although Sabo has taught you a lot of maritime knowledge, in many cases, knowledge alone is not enough. There are many maritime crises that require rich experience to overcome."

"This is the East China Sea. There is no danger yet. Once you reach the Grand Line, the situation at sea will be very strange and unpredictable."

"Although I'm not a professional navigator, I have sailed the first half of the Grand Line before, so I have some experience."

"So, if I follow you, I can help you deal with various crises at sea, and I am also very good at driving a ship."

Pujol didn't sell himself from the angle of being willing to protect Goku with his life, because he knew from Sabo that Goku was most likely much stronger than him.

Even if he encounters any enemy, he will probably be the first to die.

So he started by talking about experience. He believed that Wukong would definitely want to have a subordinate like him who had rich experience at sea to follow him.

however--

But the situation was beyond his expectations.

Wukong hesitated for a moment and then shook his head: "I should be able to handle everything you said."

Puyol was stunned at first, then he became anxious.

This means rejecting him!
"Lord Wukong——"

He opened his mouth hurriedly and wanted to continue trying to sell himself, but he stopped abruptly as soon as he opened his mouth.

Because, Wukong added with a smile: "I don't need you to follow me, but if you want to travel with me, I welcome you."

Puyol was stunned. Looking at Wukong's very sincere, friendly and approachable smile, he suddenly felt tears welling up in his eyes.

What a nice person!
Not only did they not look down on him because he was once a slave of the Celestial Dragons, but they also tried their best to protect his dignity and treated him as an equal!

This is the man he swore to follow until his death!
This is the man he swore to follow until his death!
"Master Wukong, I want to, of course I want to! As long as I can be with you, I will."

He was so excited that he was a little incoherent.

"Um, Puyol, I guess I called your name correctly, right?"

Wukong still remembered the time when he was slashed by someone for saying the wrong name, so he asked cautiously, fearing that he would make someone angry again.

"Yes, that's right! Master Goku!"

"Oh, Puyol, don't call me sir anymore, just call me Wukong, aren't we friends?"

Wukong said with a smile.

"Friends. Do you want to be friends with Master Goku?"

After hearing this, Puyol suddenly felt a little overwhelmed.

Then, he shook his head firmly: "I can't call you by your name."

He felt that calling Wukong by his first name was not enough to express his respect for him.

So he thought for another two seconds and said carefully: "If you agree, can I call you Boss Wukong?"

Wukong rubbed his chin and smacked his lips: "Although it's still a little awkward, it's at least much more pleasant to the ear than the previous one."

"Yes! Then I will call you Boss Goku from now on!"

Puyol excitedly agreed and immediately put himself in the shoes of the boss: "Boss Wukong, what is your purpose in coming to this island?"

"Well, let's get some water and take a walk."

Puyol thought: "Is that so?"

"Boss Goku, on my way here, I heard that there is a fishman pirate named Along in the East China Sea. He has dominated here for many years with his fishmen."

"And this island is said to be the enemy's base."

"The fishmen are quite powerful, but they are definitely no match for you, Boss Goku."

"Here's what I think. Boss Goku, you may not encounter them on the island. Even if you do, and there is a conflict, they will definitely not be able to defeat you."

"But the murlocs are good swimmers, and they will probably circle the island from time to time."

"From the looks of it, this coastline of ours should be unused. If the merfolk patrol here and find a strange ship here, they will probably destroy it or take it away."

"So after thinking about it, I decided not to follow you into the island. I will stay here to watch over your ship and will not let anyone touch it!"

"The boat is important, but if you lose it, you can always make one yourself."

On the island, Wukong was walking alone in the woods, carrying a large wooden barrel on his back.

After Puyol offered to guard the boat, he said it was unnecessary.

But this time the other party was very determined and insisted on staying on the boat, saying that he would never let Wukong's boat be damaged.

So, Wukong had to give up and wander around the island by himself.

"Well, it's nice to have someone to travel with."

Goku had a happy smile on his face.

Although it is very comfortable and nice to be alone, it is always a bit lonely. Now it is much more lively with two people together.

"Well, where is the stream? How about asking someone?"

He thought so.

At this moment, in front of the path in the forest he was walking on, a tall girl wearing a green patterned suspender and with beautiful short orange hair walked towards him with her left hand covered and a gloomy face.

The girl was none other than Nami.

'Why! Why don't you listen!'

"Luffy, why don't you just leave!"
