Lord of the Stars of the Grand Line

Inside the room, a woman with short blue hair and sexy lips was sitting at the dining table reading a book.

It was Nochigo!

She looked at the excited Nami rushing towards her, feeling completely bewildered.

It's not surprising that Nami came back. After all these years, the two sisters have never been apart, and Nochiko knows how hard she has worked.

Nami usually returns here when she's been wronged or is having an emotional breakdown; this orange grove is the only place where she can release her emotions.

This is the first time in all these years since Arlong and his crew arrived that Nami has shown such emotions here!

"Nami,... what's wrong?" Nochiko asked with concern, stepping forward to hug her and whispering.

Just as he embraced Nami, she slightly raised her head and suddenly saw Luo Feng and the others at the door...

"Who...who are you?"

Chapter Sixty-Three: Maid...Cook, Mr. Luo Feng really knows how to have fun.

Nochi was somewhat stunned to see a group of figures suddenly appear in front of the door. The only thing that made her feel fortunate was that these people who came with her did not have any fish-man characteristics.

"Don't worry, Nochigo, these are my... companions, they are human, they will help our village!"

Halfway through her sentence, Nami glanced at Luo Feng behind her, her face slightly flushed.

She didn't know how to explain the relationship between the two. She couldn't just say "maid and master" in front of so many people, could she?

She is lively, but she also has a sense of shame!

"partner?"

Nochi was stunned upon hearing this title.

Over the years, as Nami's closest person and the one who knows her "background" best, Nojiko understands very well what this word means to Nami.

"Isn't the word 'partner' the most painful thing for this child? How come now..."

Nochiko was somewhat surprised, and while holding Nami, he muttered to himself.

"What, aren't you going to invite us in for a seat?"

Luo Feng smiled as he sized up the beautiful future cook on his ship, and then spoke up at the opportune moment.

"Oh yes, I'm sorry, my apologies!"

"Hey, Nami, get up and greet your friends first."

Nochi gently pushed Nami away, and with a slight apology, welcomed Luo Feng and the others into the house. Then he hurriedly ran to the kitchen to make tea.

"The people who helped the village? Is it them? But it'll be hard to succeed against Ah Long and his group..."

Inside the kitchen, unaware of the situation, Nochiko was not happy to hear such words; instead, he became even more worried.

Over the years, to be honest, even Nami's biggest supporter has become a little discouraged, feeling that it's impossible to escape from those fish-men beasts.

Because we've tried all the methods, including going overseas to find help, which isn't unprecedented.

As one of Arlong's officers, Nami often went to sea to earn money. Over the years, she naturally made friends with several pirate crews and even secretly brought some of them along to help them deal with Arlong's group.

Without exception, they were all wiped out completely!

Even without Ah Long personally taking action, any one of his three top officers would suffice!

Therefore, it's not just because she was forced to become Arlong's partner that Nami began to painfully avoid the word, but also because of reasons accumulated over the years.

Some of the pirates from the outside world who were on good terms with her, people she could call her comrades, all died here!

This led to Nami finding the word taboo, and similarly, it solidified Arlong and his crew as an insurmountable shadow in her heart!

Even when faced with a terrifying figure like Luo Feng, Nami had the illusion that she couldn't defeat Arlong, and that's why.

"Gentlemen, please have some tea."

Nuoqi held up a tea tray and served Luo Feng and the others cups of orange tea, a local specialty.

"Nochigo, come with me!"

After the tea was served, Nami suddenly stood up, her blush not only not fading but even more pronounced!

She glared at Luo Feng fiercely, then grabbed Nuoqi Gao and ran outside.

"Ha ha……"

After Nami dragged Nochiko away, Robin smiled meaningfully and began to sip her orange tea.

Weiwei's face also flushed slightly. She wrinkled her nose and snorted softly, muttering to herself in a barely audible voice, "Maid...cook, Mr. Luo Feng really knows how to play, humph!"

Hearing the barely audible complaints, Luo Feng kept his eyes down, pretending not to hear them and ignoring them completely.

Clearly, both women knew the inside story!

This was unavoidable; during the ten days or so they spent on the ship, the three women were together day and night.

They weren't exactly bosom friends, but having shared similar experiences, they felt a deep connection and their relationship progressed rapidly.

Nami, intentionally or unintentionally, let slip Luo Feng's embarrassing affair.

"It's inevitable. Anyway, we'll find out sooner or later if we don't know now, so we might as well find out sooner and get used to it!"

This is a line from Luo Feng's self-deprecating monologue, which he used with a shameless grin...

Whether the others could understand or not, Luo Feng didn't know. All he knew was that convincing himself was enough!

Yes, that's right, that's it!

Outside, in the orange grove, Nami was strolling arm in arm with Nokiko through the orange trees, telling her about their journey and how she met and got to know Luo Feng and the others.

When Noki was told that Luo Feng could summon meteorites, he was truly shocked and speechless for a long time.

Although I didn't see it with my own eyes, I can still get a sense of the sheer scale of the scene through imagination.

"Is it really... that powerful?" Nochi was stunned, somewhat incredulous.

"Of course! I saw it with my own eyes, otherwise I really wouldn't believe it! Sister, I think they really can save us!"

Nami's eyes seemed to sparkle with starlight, and she spoke to Nochiko with some emotion.

"Even if these guys are stronger than those people from before, how much stronger can they really be... With Arlong and the others being so powerful, are we really going to let these innocent people die? Nami, I..."

Nochiko felt a pang of pity. Nami had brought back several pirate crew members with whom she got along well, but they had all died at the hands of Arlong's crew.

Not only was it a pity for these people, but what Nochiko feared even more was that Nami's most conflicted and important words—comrades—would be completely lost, and she dared not have such thoughts again!

Wasn't Nami like this in the original world? That's why even when Luffy and his crew, who could truly redeem her, arrived, she still didn't dare let them embark on any adventures.

After all, they were a group that Nami considered her allies, and she was afraid that they would also die at the hands of Arlong's group!

Only after (Nori Zhao) had completely lost hope did he ask Luffy and the others for help.

Now, although it's far from that point, Nochiko is also worried that Nami will fall from her new 'heaven' back into hell!

Upon hearing this, Nami was taken aback and remained silent for a long time.

After a long while, she said softly in a gentle voice, "Nochgo, no way."

"That man's power is beyond our imagination; he has transcended the realm of our understanding and is a being who can truly save me!"

This time, Nami's words no longer referred to "us" or "the village," but only to herself.

"So I believe in him, he will definitely succeed this time!"

"If we still fail, then the outcome of this battle will be that I will die here with Captain Luo Feng and the others."

"I don't want to run anymore, I won't run away again, I don't want to experience the feeling of losing my companions again!"

Chapter 64 Nojiko: My sister sold me to be a cook!

Seeing the resolute look on Nami's face and hearing her words, Nochiko was stunned.

"Okay, I believe you!"

"Over the years, you've been fighting tooth and nail for yourself, battling against all sorts of wolves and tigers. I haven't been able to help you much. No matter how many times you make the wrong choice, I will always support you. Don't worry."

After a while, Nokiko finally came to his senses, reached out a hand, and gently touched Nami's pretty face, soothing her.

Nochi looked at her, his expression showing a hint of pity.

Upon hearing this, Nami winked playfully but didn't say anything more.

"But Nami, if I heard correctly, you just said you wanted me to be that guy's... maid?!"

Suddenly, Nochi's tone shifted, and he said through gritted teeth, "You just sold your sister off like that? What a...good sister of mine!"

Nami, who was still immersed in inexplicable emotions, was instantly jolted awake by these words.

"Hehe... No, sister, this guy can save our village."

"You always have to give something in return for asking someone for help, and I don't have enough on my own. So I have no choice but to ask the beautiful older sister for help~"

Nami, shameless and righteous, said, "Sister, if Brother Luo Feng and the others succeed, we'll be heroes who protected this village!"

"Bellmeal's oranges and Mr. A-Jian's windmill must not be trampled on by those beasts again!"

Hearing Nami's shameless words, Nochi rolled his eyes and said nothing.

But upon hearing the name Bellemere, her expression visibly froze, and then she whispered, "Nami, you're right, we must let Bellemere see that this place is full of orange trees..."

"The harm that Mr. Jian suffered needs to be borne by someone."

Not long after, Nochiko and Nami pushed open the door and came back.

This relieved Luo Feng, who had been subjected to countless disdainful looks. During the time they were gone, he had received countless complaints from Robin and Vivi...

"Nami, which direction is Arlong's castle in?"

The atmosphere among the girls was too awkward, so Luo Feng couldn't help but think about switching to another instance and (aiai) going to find out what was wrong with Ah Long and the others, which was much better than staying here.

"No need to rush, Luo Feng... Captain."

At this moment, Noch spoke up and said slowly, "The captain came to fight Arlong. Now that he's come to our house, we can't just let him leave like this."

"It's inappropriate from the perspective of either bestowing favors or treating guests well."

Noch Gao spoke softly, looking at the 'savior' before him.

"As the captain's... cook, Nochigo will first prepare a simple meal for everyone as a welcome feast."

"Prepared in haste, please forgive the inconvenience!"
