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

"Is it really cultivation?"

She turned to the side, propping her head up with one hand, getting a little closer to Luffy. "Could it be that you sometimes dream about us too?"

Luffy shook his head and honestly said, "No."

Uta's expression froze.

"Really not?"

She brought her face closer, close enough to see her own reflection in Luffy's eyes, and her voice carried a hint of danger.

Luffy, completely oblivious to the danger, maintained his overly honest attitude, thought about it seriously for a moment, and then corrected himself, "Sometimes, I guess."

Uta stopped closing her hands, and the light in her eyes returned.

She felt her heart suddenly beat faster, and something sweet spread through her chest.

Sometimes the training subjects in dreams change.

Characters like Nami, Vivi, Uta, and Robin have all appeared.

That would no longer be simple cultivation.

Luffy thought to himself, "It's all because they're tempting me."

Uta was clearly pleased to hear this.

Of course, she didn't know that she and Luffy might not be talking about the same thing.

When they came to their senses, their posture had become quite ambiguous.

While interrogating him, Uta had somehow managed to prop himself up, one hand on the deck next to Luffy's head, the other still in the same position as when he poked Luffy's cheek.

Her long hair fell down, almost brushing against Luffy's neck, and the moonlight shone down from behind her, giving her a silvery-white outline.

They were so close they could feel each other's breath.

My heart, my heart is beating too fast!

When Uta came out tonight, she already had a vague but bold idea in her mind: to do something impulsive that would make her blush and her heart race.

She's my childhood sweetheart!

Nami and her friends, despite being newcomers, have already done everything she wanted to do.

Of course she likes Luffy.

Whether it was their childhood friendship, or their encounter in the East Blue two years ago where he healed her, or when she was about to destroy the world on the Island of Music not long ago... it was Luffy who came to save her.

From childhood to adulthood, from beginning to end.

"I need to take up a little of your time."

Uta mustered his courage and spoke, word by word.

What time?

Luffy blinked, still not quite understanding.

The rest of the words were left unsaid.

Because Uta had already closed her eyes, she kissed him.

The girl's kiss was quick; her lips were cooler than her fingers, yet it gave Luffy a strangely familiar feeling.

After thinking about it carefully, I realized that the two of them had already kissed back in the East China Sea.

Perhaps the feelings we have now didn't exist back then.

You could also say, "I treated you like a brother, and you actually want to be my wife."

But we can't say that now.

That's a bit too self-deceptive.

Pirates are free; they can do whatever they want.

After mustering her courage, Uta became a flustered girl, her kisses coming very lightly, and she suddenly didn't know what to do.

Teacher, the teacher didn't teach that.

She was in a comatose state due to illness before.

Even at this level, Uta felt as if all the blood in her body was flowing backward, her ears were so hot they could fry an egg on them, and her heart was pounding wildly in her chest.

Naturally, Luffy responded.

For some reason, past memories began to resurface in his mind.

His youthful ignorance, focused solely on winning and losing, added color to his somewhat gloomy childhood in the windmill village.

After reuniting in the East Sea, they each grew and matured. When danger struck, the king appeared out of nowhere. Their friendship deepened and did not fade with time, thus achieving the most perfect ending at this moment.

His palms were warm, and his fingers ran through her hair, pressing the light, almost imperceptible kiss more firmly.

Uta's mind went blank, and all the lines she had prepared vanished into thin air.

All she knew was that her hand had somehow slid from the deck to Luffy's chest, and beneath her palm was his steady, powerful heartbeat, one beat after another, a stark contrast to her own wildly beating heart.

When Uta finally lifted her face, her lips were no longer cold.

She was breathing heavily, her purple eyes veiled with a thin layer of mist.

"You..." She opened her mouth, wanting to say something harsh or witty to cover up her loss of composure, but her mind went blank and she couldn't form any complete sentences.

Luffy found it somewhat amusing.

I kept losing, but I never expected to win in a place like this.

So, with a hint of sarcasm, he asked, "That's it?"

It doesn't seem like it took up much time.

Uta felt the string of reason in her head snap.

This is the kind of treatment childhood sweethearts should receive.

......

Inside the Sunny, behind those tightly closed doors, another battle is quietly unfolding.

In Nami's room, three figures were huddled together.

Nami, Vivi, and Robin are all there.

As for what to do?

Then we have to mention the matter of Uta bribing them a few days ago.

Robin sat on the edge of the bed, his arms crossed over his chest, a meaningful smile on his lips.

Her eyes were closed, but through the power of the Flower-Flower Fruit, she opened her eyes and ears in the places she wanted to know.

He listened calmly to everything happening on the deck, his cunning smile deepening.

Chapter 634 Home Run

"How is it?" Nami asked impatiently, practically kneeling in front of Robin.

Her hair was a little messy, which showed that she was in a hurry.

Uta paid her tuition.

If this fails, what will happen to her reputation as a teacher?

Unfortunately, the Cloud Fruit is of little use at this time, otherwise it would be too easy to be discovered.

At this moment, Nami's expression was like that of a viewer who was watching a drama and had just reached a crucial point, but was interrupted by a commercial break, and was extremely anxious.

"It's alright, you can go and see for yourself now," Robin said with a hint of slyness.

Really?

Vivi, who was watching what was happening over there with her Wind-Wind Fruit, couldn't help but laugh out loud. "Nami, if you go, Uta will stare at you with resentment until you die."

As they reached a crucial point, she began to blush as she watched, unconsciously recalling the time she herself had done something similar.

That seems... a bit daring, doesn't it?

Nami also looked at Robin with some resentment.

How could this involve harming one's own people?

What happened to the promised temporary ceasefire?

But the most important thing right now is someone else.

Just as the three of them were still talking back and forth in the room, the bathroom door was suddenly pushed open.

Hancock had clearly just taken a shower; her long, dark hair was still slightly damp and draped over her bare shoulders.

She wore a purple silk robe, the collar of which was slightly open, revealing her delicate collarbone and a small patch of fair skin.

A few water droplets clung to that breathtakingly beautiful face, glistening under the light, making her seem almost unreal.

The most beautiful woman in the world, especially one who has been pampered, possesses an allure that even other women find astonishing.

"I'm going to find Lord Luffy."

Hancock announced it in a matter-of-fact tone, then turned to walk out.

She didn't understand why Nami and the others wanted to keep her here. Shouldn't it be over after she finished showering? What excuse did she have now?

After taking a nice bath and smelling nice, I still need to go find Lord Luffy!

Hancock isn't as reserved as they are; if she's in the back, she'll just be left hanging.

"Wait a moment!"

Nami, Robin, and Vivi spoke almost simultaneously, reaching out to block Hancock's path.

Hancock stopped in her tracks, her long, narrow phoenix eyes narrowing slightly, giving her a condescending look.
