Chapter 363: Set Sail
At noon the next day, the scorching summer sun was high in the sky, and the scorching air distorted the scene so much that it made the vision a little blurry.

After a whole day of rest, the tired people recovered enough energy and woke up sweating in this sultry weather.

"Really? My whole body is sticky and it's so uncomfortable."

Nami sighed, her sweet sweat soaking her black camisole that stuck to her chest. She couldn't help but lift her collar to fan herself.

Turning around, I saw that only Uta was still sleeping on the other beds. There were beads of sweat on his forehead, his brows were furrowed, and his eyelashes were trembling. It was obvious that he could not stand the heat.

Robin and Pudding were gone, the bed empty, and the white blankets were neatly folded and placed under the pillows.

Blue ~ Blue ~
Light blue cool air floated on the ceiling and crowded together. The temperature in the room gradually cooled down, and Uta's brows slowly relaxed.

"Let's go take a shower first."

Nami smiled slightly, put away the weather stick and walked out.

"Oh, this looks pretty good. Not bad, Franky."

"Really? Hahahaha, actually, this is a modification of the island-wide constant temperature system designed by Vegapunk. That guy really is an incredible person."

As soon as she walked out of the dormitory, Nami saw Reiner and Franky fiddling with a square iron lump on the lawn deck downstairs.

"what is this?"

Nami asked curiously as she walked down the stairs.

Hearing the sound, the two immediately looked over.

"You're awake Nami, did you rest well?"

Reiner chuckled softly and made room for Nami to show Franky's new invention.

"This is called 'air conditioning'. It uses a mixture of seawater and cola to keep the room at a constant temperature."

"Air conditioning? Can it be hot or cold?"

"Of course."

Franky replied to Nami with a smug grin on his face.

Due to limitations on materials and space on the ship, Franky was unable to build an island-wide constant temperature system that could affect the temperature outside or even an area of ​​sea. After all, even the one that Vegapunk built in his hometown was not completed.

But inspired by Reiner, they successfully transformed and created this castrated version of the indoor unit, which Reiner named "air conditioner".

"That's quite interesting. This way, I won't have to worry about getting hot or cold when sailing in the future. Hehe, I can wear shorts anytime."

Nami smiled happily.

Reiner raised his hand, "Please wear more bikinis."

"."

Nami reached out and pulled Reiner's ear, saying unhappily:
"You're quite generous, aren't you?"

"Not really, mainly because I want to see it too."

Reiner confessed honestly.

Nami gave this frivolous guy a cold look and thought about what outfit to wear tonight to charm him.

"Nami!"

An outstretched hand grabbed the guardrail and retracted rapidly. Luffy's figure flew over and landed in front of Nami with a laugh.

"You're awake, haha. The record pointer has been saved."

"Well, it's already been saved, and we can leave anytime. But before that, why don't you go say goodbye to Xiaoyu and the others?"

Nami responded, not quite asking.

Reiner remembered something, pushed Nami's hand away, and reminded Luffy:
"By the way, Luffy, Hiyori came this morning. Tomorrow night is their annual Fire Festival, and they invited us to the Shogun's Mansion as their guests."

"That's it."

Before Luffy could speak, Nami's nose moved slightly, as if she had noticed something, and she suddenly said:

"Then we'll set off today."

"Hey! No, I want to go to the party!"

Luffy immediately yelled like a child.

"I know~I know~"

Nami covered her face and sighed helplessly, then glanced at Reiner with a bad look.

"Humph!"

"Why are you suddenly so hostile to me?"

Reiner waved his hands and swallowed guiltily.

Nami didn't say anything, but continued to glare at him.

Reiner felt more and more guilty as he was stared at, and cold sweat broke out in his heart.

"She just came over to invite us, and then what? Don't think I can't smell that vixen scent on you?"

Nami said coldly, her hands on her hips.

Your nose is a bit exaggerated.
Reiner twitched the corner of his mouth and could only wave his hand awkwardly.
"Ahem, she's a geisha. Maybe she still hasn't changed her habits. You know, I told her not to get too close to me. Really, that woman is so indecent that she insisted on getting close to me! Fortunately, I have strong willpower, and it was just a temptation."

Reiner's tone gradually became angry.

"."

Nami just watched his performance quietly. Finally, since Reiner didn't do anything, she just rolled her eyes and walked towards the bathroom.

Reiner certainly didn't do anything, and there was no place for him to do anything.

This bastard must be trying to take advantage of the opportunity to wait for someone to throw themselves into his arms and repay his kindness with her life.

snort!
"If you dare to mess around, I'll cut your hair one night!"

boom!
Nami said without even turning around, slamming the door shut.

Also reward, no more!

Tonight is the Queen's punishment!

"."

"What happened to Nami?"

"Well, she's mad at Reiner, you don't understand, Luffy."

Franky shrugged and spread his hands.

Reiner: It’s not unfair, after all she is Nami.

Come to think of it, it’s all because I didn’t discipline him well before, otherwise how could he have fallen to this point.

The tides rise and fall at sea, and the sun rises and the moon sets, which is another two cycles.

The Fire Festival meant nothing to them. They just held a banquet at the general's mansion, where they ate, drank and had fun until dawn.

Hiyori took the opportunity to announce that she would inherit the position of Shogun of Wano Country. As soon as the news came out, various forces and civilians expressed different opinions that night.

Although the Hiyori bloodline is orthodox, she is a woman and has worked as a geisha.
Both support and opposition voices are in the minority, and most people are silent, going with the flow with a slightly concerned but reluctantly accepting mentality.

For them, anyone who becomes a general is better than Kurozumi Orochi.

And for the few dissenting voices, with the protection and support of the Straw Hat Pirates' flag, it is not difficult to stabilize the situation in Wano Country in a short period of time.

Hiyori decided to delay time first, and wait until he proved his ability in the future, when these voices gradually weakened, and then he could secretly eliminate them one by one.

There is no way around it. A woman who wants to hold on to this position is destined to be unable to be a benevolent ruler, at least not before the next generation of generals grow up and inherit the position.

As for the next generation of the Kozuki family, in order to create a closer connection between Wano Country and the Straw Hat Pirates, and to leave a strong bloodline, Hiyori decided to
"Don't play along with me. No means no."

In the room, facing Hiyori who shyly took off her clothes and looked pitiful in the face of repaying a favor, Reiner simply refused.

Free, yes.

Having a child is wishful thinking.

Out of a 10% sense of responsibility and a 90% desire to protect little Reiner from being cut in two one night, he turned and left.
In the banquet hall, the all-night party ended and everyone just lay there and fell into a deep sleep.

It was not until noon, when the sun was high in the sky and the dazzling light came to Hiyori and Kyoshiro's attention, that they discovered that the Straw Hat Pirates had already left, leaving behind only the promised black skull flag.

Jiuli, in a deep and lush bamboo sea, a renovated wooden house stands on a hill, with the door at the door.

"Let's go, Xiaoyu."

"Yeah! Goodbye, Big Brother Luffy. When Tama goes out to sea in the future, we will definitely meet again."

Xiaoyu smiled, nodded and waved, with a hint of reluctance in her eyes.

Although they only spent a few days together, the laughter and touching moments that everyone brought her were infinitely precious.

"Ah, we will definitely meet again. By then, Tama will definitely be a powerful female ninja."

Luffy smiled and lowered his straw hat on his head.

Xiaoyu gestured with a finger and shook it.

"Hehe, she'll be a glamorous female ninja. I'll become Ace's partner then, I made a promise with him." "Oh, I see. If you've made a promise, then work hard! Ace will definitely come to pick you up."

Luffy showed relief on his face and rubbed Xiaoyu's head gently.

"Let's go!"

After saying goodbye, the group left quickly and boarded the Merry with large and small bags of supplies and various specialties.

The ship had been docked at the shore for several days. The undead were controlled to untie the rigging and prepare for sailing, and to clean the ship inside and out.

When everything is ready and the sails are hoisted.

"Hey! You little bastard, you're just about to run away without saying a word. Do you have any conscience?"

Quinn rode a dinosaur to catch up and ran parallel to the Merry on the shore.

Seeing him, Frankie came to the edge of the boat, folded his arms and sat on the railing, joking:

"Yo, 26 years ago, some asshole went way overboard."

"what happened?"

"Do you know him, Frankie?"

Usopp and the others were puzzled and stood beside Franky.

"Who is that uncle?"

Luffy blinked curiously, he didn't even recognize Quinn.

"Ah~, come to think of it, I haven't told you yet."

Franky turned around and said in a calm tone:

"That guy is my dad."

"."

The air suddenly fell silent, and a big question mark appeared over everyone's head.

Sudden.

“——Huh?!!”×N
A scream scared the white clouds away, and the Merry jumped out of the sea in fright.

Luffy and his companions stood in a row, their jaws dropping in shock, staring at Franky in amazement.

"The Beasts Pirates' big boss?!"

"Is it Franky's dad?!"

"Hey Franky! Aren't you born from a robot?!"

"You're an idiot! How could you possibly be born by a robot?"

Pah! Usopp rolled his eyes and slapped Luffy on the back of the head.

Franky shrugged and spread his hands.

"Well, that's a long story. Anyway, that guy is my biological father, even though I'm not familiar with him."

"Come on, Fram. You're not still brooding over what happened back then, are you?"

"Stop it, you. I let go of this kind of thing a hundred years ago. Also, that name carries a heavy burden that I must let go of. Call me Franky now."

Franky said disapprovingly.

He never felt bad about this matter. If he had not been abandoned, he would not have met Mr. Tom, Iceberg, Grandma Kokoro and others.

There was no need to dwell on what had already happened. He had relieved his heavy guilt towards Mr. Tom, and the pain of being abandoned by his parents was not worth mentioning to him.

"I had no choice back then. Now that things have come to this, I don't expect to make amends. In short."

As he spoke, Quinn, on the dinosaur's back, swung his hand vigorously and threw a square iron box towards the Merry.
"Hold on, Franky! A man should bravely head out to the vast ocean. This is my belated support for you!"

boom!
Franky raised his two big hands and caught the iron box, but was almost sent flying by the heavy force. He stumbled and fell backwards onto the lawn.

boom!
"This guy's strength is really exaggerated."

Franky shook his head, sat up, and opened the iron box. The others leaned over and surrounded him.

"what is this?"

"Mechanical claw?"

"So handsome!"

Luffy, Chopper and Usopp's eyes flashed with gold.

Franky recognized that this was the weapon mounted on Quinn's modified body. There was also a manual attached, which contained the technical points for continuous laser firing.

"The claws are just a cosmetic design. This should be a laser cannon."

In addition, several major scientific research results of Germa 66, including fire blasting, lightning, super-strength transformation, and stealth technology, have also been sorted and placed in it.

These things can not only be used on his mecha, but also on Franky's body transformation, to make a comprehensive upgrade.

"This guy, despite being big and strong, is quite thoughtful."

Franky raised the corner of his mouth slightly, stood up and returned to the edge of the boat, looking at the gradually moving shore, and Quinn who stopped riding on the back of the dinosaur and looked at him.

Franky put his hands to his mouth and shouted:
"It's a jerk! But thank you anyway, you jerk daddy—!"

"Hmph, brat."

The Merry gradually moved away. Quinn raised the corner of his mouth, biting the cigar, and looked down at the sitting dinosaur.
"You heard it, he called me daddy. That's my charm."

"Tsk, who cares about you."

Peggy Wan turned her head away from the dinosaur with disdain.

In the distance behind, another green dinosaur rushed towards them furiously, raising a cloud of dust across the vast land.

"Asshole Quinn! Return my brother to me now! I will never forgive you for doing this to Peggy Wan!!"

In this way, Reiner and others' journey to Wano Country ended, and the Merry set sail again.

At the same time, another turmoil occurred on the sea.

On Kraikana Island, a large number of warships appeared in the nearby waters, exuding an oppressive aura like a group of ferocious beasts, and approached the island through the fog that shrouded the surrounding area.

"Mr. Yixiao, the encirclement is complete. Please give instructions."

A navy soldier came over and stood at attention and saluted.

Fujitora, who had been sitting on a wooden box with his eyes closed, opened his cloudy white eyes, took the sword leaning against the side, slowly stood up, and gave an order in a deep voice:

"Prepare to land on the island and arrest the pirates Gekko Moriah and Hawkeye Mihawk!"

"Yes!"

On the island, in a gloomy castle standing in the dark forest.

"Hehehe~, it looks like we're going to be in big trouble, Hawkeye. I didn't expect you to end up like me."

On the sofa in the living room, Moriah smiled evilly, his fangs bared.

"It's only a matter of time. The World Government and pirates will never truly get along. I've long anticipated this."

Hawkeye, who was sitting behind the desk, spoke in a cold voice and silently glanced at the Den Den Mushi on the desk.

Moria laughed grimly again:
"Well, I think that stinky crocodile's suggestion is quite interesting. I'm getting bored to death staying in this godforsaken place."

"Especially since the Straw Hat guys actually defeated that man. Now the ocean is so lively, how can we not go and see it?"

"That's right, and these zombie apes aren't cute at all!"

The black princess dress with elegant lace was spinning and dancing, and her long pink hair was hanging down her fair shoulders. Perona was holding a zombie bear doll, puffing up her face and complaining.

"Hurry up, Lord Moria, let's set off quickly."

"Hehehe~ Are you in such a hurry to go out to sea? Are you going to meet someone, Perona?"

"I didn't! Who wants to see that idiot?"

"Oh? Which idiot?!"

"Lord Moriah—!"

"Hehehe, just kidding, let's go, Perona."

Moriah smiled and took the angry Perona away, and the living room became quiet.

One moment.

"How reckless! It's not that easy to leave now."

Click.

After picking up the black knife and hanging it on his back on the black cloak, Hawkeye also walked out lightly.

Let's go meet the Admiral.

 The chair hasn't arrived yet. I fell asleep in the middle of coding last night. This chapter will make up for yesterday's. There will be another one in the evening.
