Luffy, how can you become the Pirate King if you don't work hard!

"Is it...it's him?"

"Ah."

"who is he."

"do not know."

The other person didn't seem like an easy person to get along with, but Luffy didn't sense any hostility from him.

Although the feeling of oppression was very real.

The surrounding area was already engulfed in a violent storm.

As the other person slowly approached, Nami leaned against Luffy, feeling a little scared, to gain some sense of security.

The surrounding air felt unusually quiet and oppressive. Luffy sensed that the other person's gaze was fixed elsewhere—on his and Nami's clasped hands.

"My name is Long," the other person introduced himself, appearing somewhat friendly.

Luffy responded with an "Oh," and said, "My name is Monkey D. Luffy."

Long paused for a moment. Should he praise his son for being so polite?

Who taught it?

Anyway, it's neither him nor his old father.

"Haven't you heard of my name?" the dragon asked.

"Hmm... I think someone mentioned it to me, but who was it again?"

"never mind,"

Dragon's gaze shifted from Luffy, lingering on Nami for a moment before he said meaningfully, "You have a good partner."

This statement greatly increased Luffy's fondness for Dragon.

However, he still retorted, "I have many more partners like that!"

One day we'll have ten!

Luffy's words made Dragon fall silent again.

He looked at Luffy and Nami holding hands, a thoughtful expression on his face.

Are there many more partners like this?

Perhaps in the future, it can contribute to his revolutionary cause.

"I wish you a safe voyage." Dragon walked past Luffy and Nami, waved, and quickly disappeared into the rain.

Dragon has always just glanced at Luffy from the shadows and left, but the reason he appeared this time was because Luffy noticed him.

That was quite unexpected.

However, the Monch family bloodline possesses such qualities.

Dragon has achieved his goal: to send Luffy on his voyage. The East Blue is just a small stage; the Grand Line is the future.

Luffy rummaged through his memories; he possessed a passive ability of photographic memory, but he had no recollection of Dragon, only a name...

[Reward: Ten times the Conqueror's Haki proficiency.]

[Experience bonus of 10.]

[Current situation detected. Automatic adjustment based on physical condition. Please learn from Nami within three minutes...]

Three minutes?

Luffy immediately forgot about Dragon.

I can't possibly discuss knowledge with Nami in this heavy rain. I need to hurry back to the Going Merry. Anyway, I've already achieved my goal of coming to Loguetown. I saw the place where the Pirate King was executed and walked the streets he walked.

Luffy quickly reached out his hand to Nami.

"Hurry up... Nami, let's go!"

Nami was stunned when she heard this. "I already have one of my hands in yours."

Seeing that Luffy's other hand had already reached onto her waist, Nami lifted herself up in one breath.

What are we supposed to do?

She soon found out.

"Hold on tight!"

Luffy stretched out one arm and grabbed a building in the distance, and then the two of them flew up.

This is very fast, like a flying acrobat, but it's not a princess carry. Nami can't hug Luffy's neck like before to feel safe, because her chin isn't being supported and it feels like she's about to fall off.

Anyway, Nami let out a scream and then clung to Luffy like an octopus.

......

Smoker regained consciousness shortly afterward, the pattering rain quickly waking him up.

He clutched his stomach, looking utterly incredulous.

How did a pirate from the East Blue learn Armament Haki?

That was a skill that even he was still figuring out.

Smoker realized that there was a reason why that Straw Hat Boy had become the pirate with the highest bounty in the East Blue, and that, given the current situation, a bounty of 50 million was still too low!

We must absolutely not allow the other side to set sail.

Smoker stood up and was about to give orders to his men, "All forces to the port, don't let the Straw Hat crew set sail!"

The next second, an aura exploded behind him, and all the surrounding naval soldiers lost consciousness.

"It's rare to see you in such a sorry state in a place like the East China Sea, Smoker."

A low laugh came from behind.

Smoker instinctively reached for his weapon, but the other man's hand had already grabbed the other side of it with a snap.

A bolt of lightning flashed across the sky at that very moment.

Make sure you see the person's face clearly.

"Dragon, why are you here?!" Smoker exclaimed in surprise.

"I happened to be taking care of some business nearby and wanted to see the young man off, but I didn't expect him to notice," Long said with a smile.

"What?!" Seeing him off was one thing, but what horrified Smoker was that the dragon's aura had actually been detected?

You should know that Smoker didn't notice a thing just now.

Could it be that the person Dragon said was seeing him off was that Straw Hat guy?!

If that's the case, what does it mean?

Does this mean that a pirate who has just entered the Grand Line has already mastered Armament Haki and Observation Haki?!

Chapter 53 It smells delicious

The town of Logue was battered by wind and rain.

Luffy carried Nami and ran all the way back to the Going Merry at an incredible speed.

He doesn't have Zoro's terrible sense of direction, and under certain pressure, it's like someone is holding a knife to your back and waist.

If you don't hurry, you'll lose your kidneys.

There was no one else on the ship; it seemed that Zoro and the others hadn't returned yet.

On the Going Merry, the only sound was the patter of raindrops.

Luffy was at a loss for words. Nami was clinging to him like an octopus, impossible to shake off. Luffy admitted that on the way back, he did take shortcuts whenever possible to save time.

Tall and fast, Nami isn't afraid of dying.

Now all Luffy can do is wait patiently for Nami to come to her senses; he's prepared to be scolded.

However, the fragrance seemed to intensify with the rain, and the posture between the two was hardly elegant.

Especially after experiencing Nami's costume change show in front of him, Luffy couldn't help but recall some pink scenes.

【warn.....】

Suddenly, Nami's pupils dilated sharply.

She felt she could find something to use against Luffy.

But the price of having something on someone's hands is far too high!

Boom!

Amidst the torrential rain, a muffled clap of thunder echoed through the oppressive sky, reverberating aboard the Going Merry.

Zoro and the others haven't returned yet.

There were only her and Luffy on the ship.

Nami's heart was pressed tightly against Luffy's, and she could clearly feel his heartbeat gradually quickening.

"Huff... huff huff..."

As one voice began to breathe rapidly, another voice spoke up inappropriately, mentioning things like the horizon, analyzing the current weather conditions, and how the climate in Rogge Town was unsuitable for sailing.

Nami's expression gradually changed as she listened, and then she slowly looked up at Luffy from behind his neck.

Sure enough, even his racing heartbeat had calmed down, and Luffy was seriously analyzing the current situation using his knowledge of navigation...

Then a conclusion was drawn.

"This kind of weather shouldn't be happening in Loguetown at this time of year, right?"

"......right."

Nami's knowledge of navigation far surpasses Luffy's, so she naturally knows that this sudden storm is definitely not normal.
