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

If you acquire various passive talents, wouldn't your Observation Haki level increase rapidly?

At that moment, he felt it.

He turned around abruptly.

As soon as Nami came out, she saw Luffy's back and her blood pressure soared. Why was this guy only wearing a bath towel?!

Seeing how serious he was, I wanted to sneak off and change my clothes, but then...

"Hey, don't turn around!"

"And why did you take your clothes off in my room?!"

Luffy turned around at the sound and was hit squarely by a pillow thrown by Nami.

"Didn't you give me a towel to dry myself off?" Luffy asked innocently.

I meant to say...

Nami blushed and glared at him.

"You didn't do this on purpose, did you?"

"That's unfair," Luffy said, shrugging.

Nami clicked her tongue and glared at Luffy as if he were trash.

Of course, this looks like something is being covered up.

Luffy suddenly grinned, tilted his head, and asked, "Nami, you don't actually care about that, do you?"

This statement hit the nail on the head, leaving Nami speechless.

She hesitated for a few seconds, then forced herself to retort, "Huh? How could that be? What do you think I would care about?"

"Oh, I see. Then I'll just return it to you."

What are you doing?!

Nami was so frightened that she quickly covered her face, but her fingers inadvertently left a gap.

Luffy found it somewhat amusing.

What to do? This feeling is really getting more and more intoxicating.

Just then, a thunderclap boomed in the distance, and the entire ship trembled slightly.

Outside the window, a torrential downpour pounded down, the dense raindrops pounding against the deck of the Going Merry with a crackling sound.

An unusual tranquility permeated the cabin, with only the traces of rainwater trickling down the portholes and meandering across the glass.

Luffy's brows furrowed involuntarily, his gaze seemingly looking through the doorway outside.

"Nami."

"Huh? What's wrong?"

Nami's heart skipped a beat, thinking he was really going to do something shocking. She nervously watched Luffy through her fingers, ready to punch him as soon as he pulled off the towel.

"Did you feel anything?"

"How does it feel?" Nami asked, "Is there anyone else on the ship besides you and me?"

"Those navy personnel won't be able to find this place for a while."

Even the formidable Colonel Smoker was defeated by Luffy.

The other naval personnel were like mindless flies.

Nami, seeing Luffy's increasingly serious expression, suddenly covered her mouth, her pupils contracting.

Could it be that the enemy has arrived?

Just then, Luffy reached into the wardrobe and grabbed a pile of clothes from it, including panties and underwear of various colors, and several dresses mixed together.

Nami instinctively thought Luffy was about to do something perverted, but she saw Luffy handing her the clothes with a serious expression, his eyes warily fixed on the door.

She immediately realized something was wrong, and her fingers trembled slightly as she took the clothes.

"hurry up."

How can we speed this up?

Nami looked at Luffy's profile, her face flushed. She could no longer act as carefree as she did in front of Luffy.

When Nami was little, Bellemere said she wanted to check her physical development, and Nami raised her head and said she would show her if she was given 10,000 Berries.

Now that it's Luffy... it feels like a completely different story.

Is this what it means to like someone?

It leaves one feeling completely confused.

Nami quickly put down the pitifully short towel and began to frantically put on her clothes.

During this process, she could sense that the atmosphere on the ship was becoming increasingly eerie.

Luffy stood still, his Observation Haki fully activated.

He could sense a certain aura, fleeting and elusive, like a drop of oil in water—undetectable yet undeniably present.

what is that?

Chapter 55 Ship Spirit, Merry!

The Going Merry was unusually quiet.

The sound of rain outside seemed to have stopped sometime ago, replaced by a suffocating silence.

Nami buttoned up her shirt and asked in a low voice, "What's going on?"

Luffy didn't turn around, his voice extremely low: "I don't know, but there's something on the ship."

His Observation Haki sensed an omnipresent aura, a strange feeling that made his whole body tense, his rubber body instinctively ready to activate at any moment.

Just then, the bathroom door suddenly closed silently and automatically, as if an unseen hand was gently pushing it.

Is it the wind?

With the doors tightly closed, where is the wind coming from?

The two of them looked at the door at the same time, and the air in the room suddenly froze.

"Nami, stand behind me," Luffy said.

Nami did as she was told without hesitation, her fingers unconsciously clenching the edge of Luffy's towel.

Luffy suddenly opened the door to the room. The cabin was empty, and the only sound in the corridor was the soft patter of raindrops hitting the deck.

Just as he was about to step out, Nami suddenly reached out and grabbed his wrist, asking in a low voice:

"Luffy, is it really okay outside?"

This situation is too bizarre.

There was absolutely no one on board the Going Merry.

Unless it's an enemy, it's either a ghost?

An unseen enemy is more likely to cause panic; people are different because they have a goal.

Luffy stopped and glanced at Nami. He then took Nami's hand in his own and gently squeezed her wrist with his fingertips to comfort her.

"Fear?"

"...a little"

"Do you remember how we got back?"

Nami's face flushed red.

Of course she remembers.

She clung to him like a startled octopus, and he used his rubber powers to carry her across most of Loguetown in the storm.

She nodded, her ears burning.

"Then let's do it again."

Before Luffy could finish speaking, Nami instinctively jumped up and wrapped herself around him with her arms and legs.

Why are your movements so practiced?

The skin beneath the towel was warm, the scent of rain mixed with the faint citrus fragrance of freshly showered skin. The two were pressed tightly together, almost able to feel each other's rapid heartbeats.

Their eyes met briefly before quickly looking away.

Nami didn't dare to look Luffy in the eye.

Luffy could clearly feel Nami's warm breath brushing against his neck, and his Adam's apple bobbed.

Before, I didn't have any particular thoughts when I was out, but now that I'm back in this private setting, things seem to change all of a sudden.

For some reason, Nami's shy expression made him want to tease her a little.

如果

【warn......】

Luffy's romantic notions vanished instantly, replaced by a barrage of nautical knowledge.

"Second gear!"

Steam rose, and Luffy shot out like a cannonball. Nami closed her eyes tightly, burying her face in his shoulder, feeling only the wind whistling in her ears.

too fast.

Using Observation Haki, the user quickly located the source of the aura.

Almost the next second, Luffy suddenly stopped at the door of the storage room, and his rubber arm shot into the half-closed door like lightning.

"Got you!"
