When she returned to Kaya's home, housekeeper Meili was already waiting at the door.
He immediately went to meet Al when he saw him returning with three bound pirates.
"Mr. El, are these three the members of the Black Cat Pirates?" Butler Merry's eyes swept back and forth over the pirates.
"Yes, Butler Merry. They are the only members of the Black Cat Pirates with bounties, which should add up to more than 20 million berries. I plan to take them to the nearby naval base to redeem the bounty." Al explained.
"Isn't Mr. El a navy officer? Capturing pirates should help him get promoted, right? If it's because you're short of money, our lady can actually provide some financial support." Housekeeper Mary asked with concern.
Al waved his hand and smiled, "No need, the bounty for these three pirates is enough. I will be very satisfied with the Advance-Merry."
After entering the reception room, Kaya patiently listened to El's account of the process of capturing the Black Cat Pirates.
"Thank you so much, Mr. Al. I'm sorry for taking the trouble to help me." Kaya said gratefully, with a warm light in her eyes.
"It is an honor for me to be able to help Miss Kaya. Also, I have given the Black Cat Pirates' ship to Usopp."
"So, Mr. Al is leaving too?" Kaya's voice contained a hint of reluctance.
El nodded and responded: "Yes, I came back this time mainly to say goodbye to Miss Kaya. I wonder what plans Miss Kaya has for the future?"
After thinking for a moment, Keya said, "Because I have always been sickly since I was a child, I want to be a doctor."
"I see," Al nodded in agreement, "I know there is a very good doctor at the entrance to the Grand Line. If Miss Kaya is interested, I can take you to see him."
When Ke Ya heard this, a hint of uncertainty flashed in her eyes. She asked hesitantly: "Um... Al, do you want to take me out to sea with you?"
El smiled gently and said, "Ms. Kaya, you have become a devil fruit user now. It is a waste of your talent to continue staying in Xiluobu Village. Why don't you go out and see the world while you are still young? You know, you can't learn medical skills by staying at home."
Ke Ya hesitated for a moment, then turned to look at Housekeeper Mei Li, seeking advice: "Is this okay, Housekeeper Mei Li?"
Housekeeper Meili thought for a moment and nodded, "If Mr. El is the one protecting the young lady, I think she can indeed go out and broaden her horizons. I will take good care of the housework and wait for her to return safely."
In Housekeeper Meli's heart, it was El who cured Kaya's illness, and the devil fruit also made the young lady more beautiful.
However, if this beauty is not adequately protected, it will be extremely dangerous for the lady if pirates attack again.
Chapter 9 Inviting Nami Sisters (Please recommend and collect)
More than a day has passed since we set out from Xiluobu Village.
Zangao and other two have been sent to the naval base in exchange for corresponding rewards.
At this moment, Kaya was lying on the deck of the Advance Merry, reading her medical books attentively.
Ever since she joined El's pirate group as the ship's doctor, El had obtained the ship spirit as a mission reward.
Al injected the ship spirit into the statue on the bow.
As the voyage continues, this little elf will draw strength from the sea, forming a seastone crystal coating on the bottom of the ship and repairing damage to the hull.
Al took out a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice from the kitchen and handed it to Ke Ya who was concentrating on reading. "Ke Ya, have a glass of orange juice and take a break."
Ke Ya obediently put down the book in her hand, took the orange juice, and thanked him softly.
"Thank you, Al. But I'm worried that when I meet the ship's doctor, if I can't even answer the most basic medical knowledge, will he be unwilling to teach me?"
Al comforted him, "The ship's doctor is very good, and I have the information he needs. I believe he will be willing to help. But the most important thing now is to find a chef and a navigator. I am not good at cooking."
Kaya thought of Al's clumsy appearance in the kitchen and couldn't help but chuckle.
"It's really not easy to find such a crew member temporarily. How about we wait until we arrive in Rogue Town and stay there for a while to find suitable crew members?"
Al nodded and said, "It's okay. There is a child of a navy senior in the Cocoyasi Village not far ahead. If we can invite them to join, we can fill the vacancies of the navigator and the cook."
"Since you have made up your mind, I will follow the captain's arrangements!" Kaya responded playfully.
Al looked up at the sky and decided to prepare lunch first.
Due to his limited cooking skills, he could only eat simple fried fish fillets with lettuce salad these days.
The fishy smell of sea fish is too strong, and it is impossible to eat it without simple processing.
It was already afternoon when we arrived at Kekoyasi Village.
Despite the scorching sun, you can still hear laughter and joy coming from Aaron Park when passing by it.
It seems that the villagers' lives are gradually getting back on track.
As the boat slowly sailed away from Aaron Paradise, it finally stopped in front of the orange orchard.
At this time, a child ran into a small house on the top floor of Aaron Paradise.
"Sister Nami," he said breathlessly, "there is a big ship outside and it is parked in front of your orange orchard."
After hearing this, Nami immediately put down her paintbrush and quickly stood up. "A big ship? Is that a pirate ship?"
There was a hint of alarm in her voice.
The child thought for a moment and then answered, "It doesn't seem so. I didn't see the pirate flag."
Hearing this, Nami's tense nerves relaxed a little, and she said thankfully, "That's good. It looks like you're not here to cause trouble."
After saying that, she quickened her pace and rushed towards the orange orchard.
At this moment, on the docked ship, Al was lying comfortably in the special bathtub on the deck, enjoying a sea bath.
This is a practice method that he tailored for himself.
There is an ingenious mechanism on the side of the bathtub. With just a light press, the seawater in the bathtub will be quickly emptied so that you can quickly intervene in an emergency.
After enjoying lunch, Kaya returned to the cabin to take a nap.
Considering that it's a bit uneasy to leave Kaya alone on the boat, I plan to visit Nojigo after she wakes up.
Just as Al was immersed in the embrace of the sea breeze and sunshine, enjoying the rare tranquility, a crisp voice broke the silence.
"Is anyone on the boat?" He leaned over and looked down, only to see a girl with short orange hair standing on the shore.
As luck would have it, Nami was at home.
Al secretly rejoiced in his heart, and then responded: "Hello, what's the matter?"
Nami looked up at the stranger on the deck, with a hint of alarm in her tone: "This is my orchard, what are you doing here by stopping the boat?"
"We are just a passing cruise ship and plan to buy some fruits here. But my companion is still resting, we will get off the boat after she wakes up." Al replied.
As soon as she finished speaking, Kaya walked out of the cabin slowly. Nami's voice had obviously awakened her.
"Captain, have we reached land?" she asked, rubbing her sleepy eyes.
"Now that you're awake, let's go down for a walk together. The owner of the orchard is also on the shore." Al invited with a smile.
When the two stepped onto land, Nami noticed Kaya's skin, which was as smooth and delicate as pearl, and she couldn't help but admire it in her heart.
Al introduced himself: "I'm Al, and this is my companion, Kaya. We are heading to the Grand Line together."
When Nami heard this, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes: "Grand Line? That is a sea full of dangers. It is too risky for the two of you to go there like this."
"Thank you for your concern, Miss Nami. Could you please invite us in for a seat?" El asked politely.
"Please follow me," Nami agreed with a nod, leading the two towards the cabin.
"Noqigao, there are customers who want to buy fruit."
Nami shouted as she walked. Nokiko came out upon hearing the voice, and when he saw El, surprise flashed in his eyes.
"Mr. Al, I didn't expect it to be you! What kind of fruit would you like to eat? I'll prepare it for you right away." Noqigao said enthusiastically.
Nami looked at the two of them in confusion and asked in a low voice, "Do you know each other?"
Then, Nami suddenly realized, and looked at El with gratitude: "So it's you, Mr. El, thank you for saving our village."
After A'long was wiped out, Nojigo mentioned that a sailor passed by her house that day, and everyone also mentioned that they saw him heading towards A'long Park. Later, everyone concluded that it was this sailor who saved Kokoasi Village.
Al smiled slightly and said modestly: "I hope you don't blame me for being late. After all, it is the Navy's fault for letting Aaron stay here for so many years."
Nuoqigao enthusiastically served fragrant tea and fresh oranges grown at home.
Then she sat aside and asked, "I heard from Nami that Mr. El, are you planning to go to the Grand Line?"
El nodded and said frankly, "Yes, I heard that Miss Nami's sailing skills are very superb, so I came here specially to invite Miss Nami and Miss Nochigo to go to sea with me."
Nojigao seemed a little surprised when he heard this, and waved his hand quickly: "Do I want one too? But I don't know how to do anything except growing oranges."
Al continued to persuade her, "Miss Nochigo, you can become an excellent cook. This way, you sisters can not only go to sea together, but also have the opportunity to see different varieties of oranges from all over the world. I also heard that by hybridizing different types of oranges, better orange trees can be cultivated."
Noqi Gao hesitated and said softly, "Will this hinder you? After all, I don't have much fighting ability."
"It's okay, leave the fighting to me," Al assured confidently.
Noqigao asked again: "So, what is Mr. Al's goal in going to sea?"
Chapter 10: El Pirates (Please recommend and collect)
Al scratched his head and said frankly, "Well, I'm not sure about this. But since everyone is here now, this is a good opportunity to find out."
After saying that, he took out the Den Den Mushi he carried with him from his pocket and started calling the other party.
Soon after, a familiar voice came from the other end of the Den Den Mushi.
"Moshi Moshi, is that Al? What do you want to talk to me about?" The voice of General Qingzhi came from the Den Den Mushi.
"General Qingzhi, I have already gone to sea and have recruited some companions, but I don't know what my mission is yet?" Al explained.
There was silence for a moment on the other end of the Den Den Mushi, and then Qing Zhi's voice sounded again: "It seems that you are quite efficient. As for the mission, I will arrange it for you when you reach the new world in the second half of the Grand Line. Now, enjoy your adventure and make yourself stronger."
El looked around at the three female companions around him, and a new idea came to his mind, so he said, "General Qingzhi, I want to ask you for someone."
"Need someone? What kind of person do you want?" Qing Zhi seemed a little surprised by this request.
"I would like to take a swordsman from Captain Smoker's command in the town of Rogue in the East Sea so that she can stay on board and protect our crew if I encounter a battle."
"I will discuss this matter with Smoker privately. Coincidentally, I also have a private matter that needs your help." Qing Zhi said.
"Please give your orders, General."
"On the Grand Line, there is a country called Alabasta. There is a person named Robin. You can take her with you for me."
"No problem." Al agreed readily.
After hanging up the phone, Al turned to Nami and Nojigo, with a relaxed and warm smile on his face, and asked, "I wonder what you two think?"
Nami and Nojigo looked at each other, their eyes flickering with a mixture of uncertainty and expectation.
Nami said, "Since there is no dangerous mission, Nokigo, why don't you go out to sea with me?"
Nojigo's eyes moved back and forth between El and Nami, and finally landed on the orange orchard she had taken good care of. She asked reluctantly, "But what about this orange orchard?"
Nami answered without hesitation: "Just leave it to Ken. I'm sure he'll be willing to take over."
After the two sisters had discussed it, Al interrupted at the right time: "Due to the special nature of this mission, I cannot act as a navy, so we need a name for the pirate group. Does anyone have any good suggestions?"
Nami pondered for a moment and offered her own opinion: "Generally speaking, the name of a pirate group is named after the captain. How about we call it the 'El Pirates'?"
Nami's proposal was immediately agreed by Nojiko and Kaya, who nodded excitedly to show their support.
Seeing this, Al could only silently put aside the name of the 'Partner Pirate Group' that he had been pondering over in his mind for many days.
The afterglow of the setting sun gently shines on the deck, and the golden light and the fragrance of the orange grove are intertwined to create a peaceful and beautiful picture.
The sails of the Forward-Merry were draped with the standard skull and crossbones pattern that Nami had carefully painted, swaying gently in the breeze.
At Al's request, their pirate flag used the most common image of a crossed skull and bone sticks.
As the sails were raised, Nami and Nojiko waved goodbye to everyone in the village and embarked on an adventure.
That night, Al and everyone else sat in the restaurant and enjoyed the dinner that Nojigo had carefully prepared.
The aroma of food permeates the air, making you salivate.
"Your cooking skills are amazing, no less than Kaya's chef. What do you think, Kaya?" Al praised.
Ke Ya laughed and agreed, "It is indeed delicious. Sister Nojigo's cooking is much better than the captain's."
There was a hint of playful sarcasm in his words.
After dinner, Al handed the key to the safe to Nami.
"Nami, from now on the money on the ship will be managed by you. Just spend it. I will earn it back when it's gone."
Nami took the key, smiling like a flower, her eyes curved into crescent shapes: "Then I'm welcome, Captain!"
"Don't worry, I am still very confident in my ability to make money. You all go and have a good rest, and leave the night watch to me."
