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

"No."

Luffy immediately rejected the idea.

That's true. The plan was forcibly reversed because of Nami's illness, but the daily hellish training mode has started again. His mind is currently being forcibly filled with various fragments of nautical meteorology knowledge, and he has no time to think about anything else.

Nami seemed unconvinced. She chuckled dryly, her eyes darting around, but what she said made Luffy pause in surprise:

"Even if you use me as a figment of your imagination... I wouldn't be particularly opposed to it..."

Her voice grew softer and softer as she spoke, and her face turned redder and redder. "Anyway, Luffy, you're at this age now. Miss Kureha explained it to me, but you can't be too perverted."

The sound was so quiet that only she could hear it; she could almost hear the sound of a steam engine in her head.

What am I even saying?!

Nami's cheeks were flushed and her eyes were sparkling; for a moment, she didn't know where to put her hands.

"Huh? What do you mean?" Luffy frowned. He really didn't understand Nami's convoluted thoughts. The interference of the [Plan] made his thinking a bit linear.

"If you don't understand, then forget it."

Nami blinked quickly, lowered her head, and showed a complex expression on her face that was a mixture of relief and inexplicable disappointment, which actually made her look somewhat cute.

"Let's eat first, you must be very hungry."

"That's true to some extent."

Just then, a small figure timidly squeezed in through the crack in the door. It was a reindeer with a blue nose, wearing a pink hat, and its big, dark eyes cautiously peering into the room.

"Who is it?" Nami hadn't seen Chopper since she woke up.

"Chopper, it's Chopper."

Luffy happily introduced, "Nami, this is our new crewmate, Tony Tony Chopper! He's an amazing ship's doctor, and you owe your illness to Chopper."

"Is that so...? Thank you."

"You're welcome... but who's your partner?"

Upon hearing this, Chopper immediately hid behind a wooden barrel in the corner, only revealing half his head and swaying antlers, and loudly retorted, "Even if you praise me like that... I won't be happy! You bastard!"

Although it denied it verbally, its body language, which clearly showed its bashful expression due to the praise, completely betrayed its inner joy.

Chopper did help.

When Luffy was treating Nami, Dr. Kureha only provided the medicine and did not directly help. It was Chopper who assisted and guided her with his superb medical skills.

When Luffy woke up, he saw that Chopper could not only talk, but also use the Human-Human Fruit's ability to change his size to reach the medicinal herbs on high places. He found it interesting and amazing, and immediately extended an invitation.

"You really are..."

Nami covered her face; she was used to Luffy's gaze. But she wouldn't deny Luffy's decision.

So he greeted his future partner in a friendly manner.

"Please give me more advice."

Chopper: "......"

Didn't these two people listen to me?!

It clearly refused!

But when he thought about how Luffy risked his life to climb the snowy mountain for his friends, and how he was different from other humans and didn't look down on his blue nose and monster identity, Chopper was still a little touched.

Besides, they're pirates!

"Humph."

Chopper glanced at Luffy, its doctor's instincts triggering its attention to Luffy's condition. It tilted its head, carefully examining Luffy's slightly pale face and the faint shadows under his eyes, and subconsciously furrowed its brow.

"Luffy, you don't look well. You've used up a lot of energy... you're a bit weak and need to replenish your strength..."

Click.

The frying pan in Nami's hand made a crisp sound.

"What's wrong?" Luffy asked.

"It's alright," Nami said with a smile.

"Yes, something's wrong." Luffy was still asking about the reason for his weakness when Chopper noticed Nami casting an unusually kind look and smile at him from behind Luffy.

At this moment, Nami appeared to Chopper as if she had sprouted demonic horns, and a terrifying smile graced her face. Her lips moved silently, clearly a warning to him:

"Don't talk nonsense!"

"Alas!"

Chopper was so frightened that his fur stood on end, his short legs went weak, and he almost fell over. He scrambled out the door, whimpering, "Dolly the doctor, help me!"

"What's wrong with Chopper?" Luffy asked, puzzled.

"Who knows? Maybe you scared me." Nami immediately lowered her head, pretending to stare intently at the soup in the pot, but the blush on her ears spread to her neck.

This is so strange.

"I feel like something's wrong."

"fine."

"You're hiding something from me."

"Nonsense."

Luffy's voice suddenly came close to her ear. Nami was stunned for a moment, then looked up sharply and bumped right into Luffy's face, which had somehow gotten close to hers.

Their noses were only a finger's width apart, they could hear each other breathing, and their eyes met.

"ah!"

Nami let out a short scream and jumped back a step like a startled rabbit. Her face turned completely red, and she covered her face with her hands, pleading in a muffled voice, "I don't know, I don't know, please don't ask."

"Okay, okay, I won't ask anymore."

Seeing her strong reaction, Luffy was puzzled but didn't press her for details.

The intense fatigue and the constant influx of knowledge into his mind left him feeling utterly exhausted. He lay back down, closed his eyes, and said, "I'm a little tired, I'll rest a bit more."

Upon hearing this, Nami was stunned.

Looking at Luffy's peaceful sleeping face with his eyes closed, bearing the faint traces of frostbite left from climbing the snow-capped mountains, a wave of bittersweet emotions welled up in her heart.

This is all for her.

Nami hesitated for a moment, then nervously approached the bedside, leaned down, and let her loose strands of hair gently brush against Luffy's cheek, causing a slight tickle.

"Huh?" Luffy suddenly opened his eyes.

Their eyes met again, so close they could barely touch.

Nami's face turned bright red instantly, almost all the way down to her collarbone.

Their hot breaths sprayed onto each other's faces. She felt as if she had been burned, and hurriedly straightened up, her eyes darting around in a panic. She frantically brushed her stray hairs behind her ears, her heart pounding like a drum.

"I...I'll go check if the soup is ready..."

She practically fled, quickly walking to the stove with her back to Luffy, her heart still pounding wildly.

She couldn't help but touch her burning cheeks, almost wondering if she still had a high fever and her brain was fried.

A huge pile of food was laid out on the table, and Luffy began to eat heartily, while Nami rested her chin on her hand and watched him with a touch of doting affection.

"Nami, aren't you going to eat?"

"Uh..." Nami suddenly let out a burp, blushing as she covered her mouth. "I, I'm full. Hurry up and eat, don't talk!"

There was too much food; she was stuffed.

I have no idea how much I ate.

Chapter 101 The Straw Hat Pirates are all monsters!

Waiting for the blizzard to subside.

So they waited until the next day.

It's not advisable to travel in such bad weather after recovering from a serious illness, Kureha knew this, and Luffy, as a doctor, shared the same understanding.

But this was tough on Chopper.

I spent the whole night in fear and anxiety.

And what's more, humans don't need to sleep!

Chopper had only been lying down for a short while when he instinctively sensed a threat. He opened his eyes and saw a pair of eyes glowing red staring straight at him.

"Come become a pirate?" The voice sounded like a devil's.

Chopper almost fainted from fright.

Until the next morning.

Nami slept very soundly, and when she opened her eyes again, it was already bright daylight outside the window.

The unique silence of the ice castle enveloped her; the despairing heaviness and high fever that had gripped her body had subsided, leaving only a slight weakness from recovering from a serious illness.

She propped herself up to sit up, moved her arms, and felt her strength gradually returning.

"Yo, good morning, Nami." Luffy greeted her, sitting cross-legged in front of the fireplace not far away, gnawing on a large piece of meat bone that he had somehow gotten his hands on, looking very energetic.

"What are you doing?" Nami was somewhat surprised by his recovery speed, while watching him look around.

"Chopper hid again while I wasn't looking." Luffy finished his meat in a few bites, then stretched out his rubber arm and accurately tossed the bone into the trash can in the distance.

"How are you feeling? That witch doctor said that once your fever goes down, you're basically fine. Just rest a bit more."

"Hmm, much better." Nami felt a warmth in her heart and couldn't wait to get out of bed. She said, "Vivi is still waiting for us. Let's hurry up and meet up with them."

The most important enemy is Crocodile.

"Okay," he readily agreed.
