Pirates: Going out to sea? Cultivate to the Mahayana stage first

At this time, Laqi also sat quietly beside An Nuo.

I saw that she was holding an unfinished embroidery work tightly in her hands, and was sewing it stitch by stitch very carefully and meticulously.

An Nuo noticed Laqi's behavior inadvertently, so he lowered his voice and asked with concern: "Laqi, what are you busy with?"

Hearing this, Laqi slowly raised her head, and a sweet smile with a hint of shyness instantly appeared on her pretty face: "Master, I just want to embroider a handkerchief for you personally.

Moreover, she also plans to carefully embroider the unique pattern of "Orange Cottage" on the handkerchief.

Hearing this, An Nuo felt a warm current in his heart, and he responded gently: "Then I look forward to it."

After hearing their conversation, Kerla came over curiously and her eyes fell on the exquisite embroidery in Laqi's hands.

She couldn't help but widen her eyes and exclaimed in amazement: "Wow, Sister Laqi's hands are so skillful! This embroidery is just like a work of art. Sister Laqi, can you teach me too?"

Laqi smiled gently and nodded gently, "Of course, as long as you are willing to learn, I will teach you everything I know."

As night slowly fell, the Orange Cabin was quietly anchored in a quiet and peaceful sea.

The bright moonlight sprinkled on the sea, creating layers of silver ripples. At this moment, the deck was bustling with activity, as everyone sat in a circle, gazing up at the dazzling starry sky.

Nami pointed to a certain spot in the sky and shouted excitedly: "Look, that's the Southern Cross! Remember when we were on Sky Island? The starry sky there was so beautiful and charming."

Nuo Qigao on the side echoed with deep feeling: "Yes, every time I look up at this vast starry sky, I always feel that my insignificant troubles become insignificant in an instant."

Annuo was enjoying the dreamy night view with several other women. Everyone was talking and laughing, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

However, not long after, An Nuo suddenly felt as if someone gently touched his fingers.

He subconsciously lowered his head and saw Nami winking at him with a sly look on her face, and asked softly, "Are you going?" An Nuo was a little puzzled and asked in a low voice, "Where are you going?"

Nami smiled mysteriously and answered in a low voice: "Don't ask so many questions, just follow me!"

It turned out that Nami, the little foodie, had been feeling itchy in her heart, as if she was being tickled by a kitten, because she gave the opportunity to Laqi last night.

Seeing that no one else was paying attention to this side, he couldn't wait to quietly pull An Nuo into the room so that he could enjoy himself.

"Where are you going?" Halfway through the journey, Nojigo suddenly saw two people walking side by side in front of him and couldn't help but ask.

Nami replied with a righteous look on her face: "I just finished drawing a nautical chart to the Sky Island area, so I wanted my brother-in-law to come over and help check if there is anything missing."

An Nuo, who was standing nearby, almost couldn't help laughing out loud when he heard this. He muttered to himself, "Hey, you're really good at making excuses for yourself. You can come up with such a refreshing and unconventional rhetoric!"

However, Nami obviously noticed Annuo's inner thoughts. She immediately gave him a fierce look and quickly stretched out her fair and tender little hand and gently twisted it behind Annuo's back.

An Nuo felt the pain and quickly suppressed his smile, pretending to be calm.

Although Nojigo felt that something was wrong at this time, he couldn't tell what was strange for a while.

At this moment, Nami suddenly changed the subject and took the initiative to invite Nokigo: "Sister, why don't you come with us?" Nami knew very well that Nokigo had never been interested in those complicated and tedious nautical charts, so she deliberately used this tactic of advancing to retreat.

As expected, when Noki heard Nami's words, he immediately waved his hands and shook his head to refuse: "No, no, I'm not going to join in the fun. You two can just wait and see."

Before he finished speaking, Nojigo disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.

As the night deepened, inside the cabin of the Orange Cabin, the faint candlelight flickered gently. The dim light was projected onto the cabin wall, illuminating the figures of Anno and Nami snuggling together.

At this moment, the two people's breaths intertwined with each other, and the spiritual energy surrounding their bodies flowed slowly between them like a trickle.

Suddenly, it seemed as if the whole world had quietly drifted away, leaving only the two of them immersed in this peaceful and beautiful atmosphere.

Nami's cheeks were slightly flushed with an alluring blush, and her eyes were filled with tenderness and sweetness.

Annuo was concentrating on guiding the circulation of spiritual energy in his body. His expression seemed extremely gentle and serious, as if he was carefully carving a unique treasure.

In this peaceful, harmonious and warm moment, the tightly closed cabin door was suddenly pushed open without any warning.

Noki walked into the room briskly and excitedly, holding a plate of carefully cut fresh fruits. She shouted happily: "Annuo, Nami, I brought you some delicious fruits... uh..." However, her voice suddenly stopped as if it was cut off by a pair of sharp scissors.

His eyes, which were originally full of smiles, now widened into a circle, like two huge copper bells. Even the fruit plate that he was holding steadily in his hands almost fell to the ground due to shock.

The scene before her at this moment was like a bolt from the blue, and she froze in place like a wooden chicken - Nami was nestled tightly in Annuo's warm and broad arms like a little bird, and their intimate posture made it difficult for people to imagine that they were seriously discussing nautical charts or discussing topics such as weather changes.

Nami jumped up from Annuo's arms like a frightened deer. Her pretty face turned red in an instant, like a ripe and juicy tomato.

She hurriedly began to tidy up her slightly messy clothes, and scolded incoherently: "No, Noqi Gao! How could you just barge in without knocking? Really!"

Nojiko finally came back to her senses from her extreme shock, but soon her slightly raised mouth corners could not help but outline a meaningful and somewhat teasing smile: "Oh? Look at my recklessness, did I accidentally interrupt your sweet time? Oh my, it seems that I came at the wrong time."

After saying that, he did not forget to wink playfully at Nami and Annuo.

An Nuo, who was standing by, also seemed a little uneasy. He coughed lightly, trying to cover up his inner embarrassment, and then hurriedly explained: "Noqi Gao, don't get me wrong, we were actually just concentrating on discussing issues related to nautical charts."

Hearing this, Nojigo's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, and he raised his eyebrows with a smile, and deliberately dragged out the end of his words: "Hmm~ Discussing the nautical chart? Really?"

There was a hint of disbelief and doubt in his tone.

"So that's how it is." Nojigo nodded as if he had suddenly realized something, then raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a meaningful smile, and said softly, "Then you guys continue, I'll leave now, I dare not disturb you guys from discussing in depth."

Chapter 224 Crocodile

After saying that, she slowly turned around and pretended to walk away. However, her steps were as slow as a snail, and every step seemed so cautious, as if she was afraid of missing something.

Seeing this, Nami couldn't help but feel nervous and thought to herself that something was wrong.

Seeing that Nojigo was about to walk away, she could no longer suppress her inner anxiety. She jumped up from her seat and reached out to grab Nojigo's sleeve as fast as lightning.

"Wait!" Nami shouted anxiously, her voice trembling slightly due to nervousness, "Don't get me wrong! We are really just discussing the nautical chart, there is absolutely nothing else happening!"

Hearing what Nami said, Nojigo slowly turned around, still with a smiling expression on his face, but his eyes were staring straight at Nami, as if he wanted to see through her eyes to see her true thoughts.

"Hehe." Nuoqi raised her eyebrows, with a hint of teasing in her tone, "If that's the case, then why are you blushing like this? Um... and where was An Nuo's hand just now?"

Nami was speechless after being asked a series of questions by Nokigo. Her face instantly turned red like a ripe apple. She stammered and replied, "That... that's because the weather is too hot, so I blushed. And Annuo's hand... his hand just touched my shoulder accidentally, there's really no other meaning!"

As Nami explained in a panic, she secretly glanced at Anno from the corner of her eye, her eyes full of a look of help, hoping that he could come out and help her.

At this moment, An Nuo couldn't help but secretly complain. He muttered to himself, "Oh, you cheated, but you are still stubborn and refuse to admit it. Noqi Gao is such a smart person, how could he be easily fooled by your little trick?"

However, despite feeling helpless, he still decided to step forward to help Nami out.

So, An Nuo coughed lightly, cleared his throat, and then said to Nokigo seriously, "Nokigo, Nami is right. We have indeed been concentrating on studying the nautical chart. It's just that because we stared at the chart for a long time, we inevitably felt a little tired and nervous, so we relaxed a little. That's all. It's not as complicated as you imagined."

After saying this, he nodded towards Nojigo to show that what he said was true.

Nojiko blinked her big, lively eyes, with an innocent expression on her face, and asked in a tender voice, "Oh? In that case, can I also take a break for a while?"

Hearing this, An Nuo was stunned for a moment. He opened his mouth but couldn't utter a word in response.

Nami, who was standing by, widened her eyes and shouted angrily, "Nokigo! Stop messing around here! It's clearly my turn today, okay!"

It turned out that they had already agreed that each of them would have one day to spend with An Nuo.

"Yesterday was your day, and now it's already past midnight."

Nojigo put his hands on his waist, looked at Nami and retorted without giving in.

Nami was so angry that she stamped her feet and shouted indignantly: "This has nothing to do with sisterhood! The key is to have an order of precedence!"

Nuo Qigao snorted coldly and said sarcastically, "What order of priority? You are just one or two days ahead of me!"

Seeing the two people arguing more and more fiercely, neither of them giving in, An Nuo couldn't stand it anymore, and finally spoke up to mediate: "Okay, okay, both of you stop arguing."

At this time, Nuo Qigao suddenly turned his head, stared at An Nuo with a smile, and asked in a coquettish voice: "Then my dear An Nuo, tell me, in your heart, is it me or Nami who is more suitable to practice dual cultivation with you?"

After saying that, she did not forget to throw a seductive glance at An Nuo.

When Nami heard this, she immediately became nervous, her eyes fixed on An Nuo, her eyes full of eager anticipation, as if she was waiting for a crucial answer. At this moment, An Nuo felt his head buzzing, and it suddenly became several sizes bigger.

He smiled bitterly and said helplessly, "You two are both extremely important to me. You are both my most trusted and beloved Taoist companions. The purpose of this dual cultivation method is to help each other improve our cultivation, not to compare with each other."

After hearing this, Nojigo, who was standing nearby, curled her lips and pretended to be extremely disappointed. She said coquettishly, "Oh my, look at how smooth you are in saying this. You don't want to offend either side."

However, Nami raised her chin proudly as if she had won a battle, and replied with a smile: "Hehe, my brother-in-law is naturally the most fair. How could I be partial to him?"

At this moment, Nojigo suddenly leaned forward, close to Nami, and then deliberately lowered his voice and asked: "Nami, did you sneak out to eat just now?"

As soon as these words came out, Nami's cheeks instantly turned red like a ripe apple. She waved her hands in panic and denied it, "No, no! Don't make up stories!"

Seeing Nami's panicked reaction, Nojiko couldn't help but giggle. She reached out and gently patted Nami's shoulder, comforting her: "Okay, okay, I won't tease you anymore. You should continue to study the nautical chart. I won't bother you here." After that, she turned around and walked towards the door.

However, when Nuo Qigao was about to reach the door, he seemed to remember something, and suddenly stopped, turned around and winked at An Nuo playfully, and said with a sweet smile: "But, An Nuo, when you practice dual cultivation next time, don't forget to invite me along~"

Then, she was satisfied and planned to leave quickly. Annuo and Nami looked at each other, not knowing how to respond for a moment.

"Wait!" Nami suddenly called her.

Nokigao stopped and turned around. She was surprised to see Nami whispering something in Annuo's ear. She suddenly had an ominous premonition and cried out inwardly, turning around and trying to leave quietly. However, no matter how hard she struggled, her body seemed to be cast under a spell and she couldn't move at all.

"You're just pampering her like this!" Nuo Qigao was anxious and angry, her eyes widened, and she glared at An Nuo and shouted. At this moment, she was breathing rapidly because of anger, and her chest was heaving.

When An Nuo heard Nokigo's call, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a faint smile. He slowly walked towards Nokigo, and said softly as he walked: "Ahem, since you are already here, don't leave."

As he spoke, he had already walked up to Nojigo, opened his arms, and gently embraced her in his arms.

Then, An Nuo lowered his head, leaned close to Noqigao's ear, gently bit her crystal clear earlobe, and whispered softly: "Besides, shouldn't good sisters share happiness and difficulties? We should share the joys and sorrows."

Nokiko was caught off guard by Annuo's sudden intimacy, and her face instantly turned red, like a ripe apple. She turned her head subconsciously and met Nami's smug, triumphant expression.

Nami crossed her arms, stared at Nojiko with a smile, and said teasingly, "Haha, that's good now, the three of us can be considered as in cahoots with each other! But you have to keep this a secret from me. If Hina-sensei and the others find out, then we sisters will have to bear the punishment together!"

......

The setting sun was as red as blood, rendering the entire sky of Kokoaxi Village like a burning sea of ​​fire, presenting a heart-pounding red color.

The sea breeze swept in with a roar, carrying all the dust and sand in the sky, forming a series of turbid whirlwinds. The air was filled with a strong sense of oppression, making it difficult to breathe.

On the streets of the village, villagers were tied up with thick sand chains, their hands and feet tightly tied, and forced to kneel on the ground, their heads lowered, their faces twisted, their eyes filled with deep fear and despair.

Ajian, the conscientious village policeman, was not spared at this moment. He was escorted alone to Crocodile. An extremely sharp sand blade was ruthlessly pressed against his throat, flashing a cold light.

Crocodile's face was gloomy, and he stared at Jian with cold eyes, squeezing out a sentence from between his teeth: "Tell me, where did the man named Anno go?"

In the vast desert, Crocodile sat leisurely on a huge throne made of sand. He held a thick cigar in his mouth, and the smoke he exhaled filled the air, as if forming a mysterious veil.

The extremely sharp golden hook in his hand was flashing a chilling cold light under the afterglow of the setting sun.

At this time, Robin stood quietly behind Crocodile. Her hands, which should have been as nimble as a ghost, were now tightly bound by heavy seastone chains, unable to move at all.

Although her expression was still as cold as ice, as if nothing in the world could cause any ripples in her heart, if one looked closely, one could catch a glimpse of a faint struggle in the depths of her eyes.

Time passed quietly, and many days had passed without him noticing. Crocodile's patience, which was already very limited, was now almost exhausted.

Finally, at a certain moment, he could no longer suppress his anger and mercilessly attacked the navy soldiers who were responsible for guarding the village. However, due to his special identity as "Seven Warlords of the Sea", he did not kill them, but simply threw all the navy soldiers who were in the way aside.

As for Nico Robin, she started to act a little different from the moment she stepped into the Cocoa Village. What was even more unexpected was that she actually begged Crocodile for the villagers of Cocoa Village. This behavior was completely different from the cold-blooded, ruthless woman that Crocodile had in mind.
