On a sunny day, at noon, Nami heard the sound of dinner being served.
So she raised her head from the long drawing work and looked tiredly at the door of the room.
Even though the door was so close, Nami still felt that it was extremely far away.
She doesn't want to open that door!
It's not that she doesn't like the deck of the Black Bird, nor is it that she hates the people on the Black Bird.
On the contrary, not only does she not hate everyone, but she also admires them very much!
Whether it is the reassuring and admirable Captain Gawain, the humorous Pluto Rayleigh, or the blind but kind-hearted Mr. Smile, and the even though she is a woman, she can still be among the strongest.
Miss Gion.
When she thought of these people, Nami was filled with admiration. The officers of the Black Bird were really amazing!
But she herself... why did she squeeze into the ranks of cadres?
The man she works with, Mr. Frankie... is a scientist on the Black Bird. Although his personality is extremely unstable, his ideas are like the surging Yellow River, breaking its banks at every turn.
There is also the low-key and simple Mr. Mermaid Dan, a stuntman in mechanical processing. His understanding and transformation of sea trains are also amazing.
How could I be qualified to be ranked with those people?
Aren't you just an ordinary little girl?
Am I... not worthy of the gentleman on board's expectations of me?
Thinking of this, Nami couldn't help but put her right hand on her left shoulder, where her original tattoo of the Dragon Pirates had turned into a tattoo of a soaring black bird.
Only this tattoo can make Nami feel that she is living in a dream and confirm that what she is experiencing is indeed reality.
I really became a cadre, with a terrifying annual salary of 6 billion.
But the more this happens, the more Nami feels that she must produce results worthy of this salary!
In the whole sea, there may not be anyone who likes money more than Nami, and the more people like money, the more they understand that money is hard-earned.
Therefore, now Nami would rather trap herself in the house, desperately looking at various charts recorded by the Black Bird in the past, restoring the ocean current track of the Grand Line, and then analyzing and trying to deduce the classification of disasters among the routes of the Grand Line.
This is a pretty big project. Nami worked hard for ten days, but she didn't even have a clue.
It would be difficult for even a talented navigator like her to understand the ocean without having seen and sailed it with her own eyes.
Therefore, Nami covered her shoulders and shook her head unwillingly.
"It would be great if I had Sister Robin's ability, or I could upgrade that ability.
If I had a hundred pairs of eyes and hands, I could easily do this..."
There was a beep, and Nami frowned. She decided to ignore the lunch reminder. She wanted to lock herself in the room until all the current charts were processed!
If you don’t work hard like this, how can you afford an annual salary of 6 billion!
That’s five whole Marcos!
!
Just when Nami was scratching her head and looking at the sea map, her door was pushed open, and Noki walked in with a high smile.
"Nami, it's time to eat. Seeing that you are not here, the adults specifically asked about you.
Are you still drawing charts there? It’s not just a meal away. Come on, don’t let the adults worry about you~"
While talking, Nokigao stepped forward and interrupted to hold Nami's hand.
Looking at the approaching elder sister Nokigao, Nami rubbed her hair in annoyance.
"Ah ah ah, lord, lord, lord, sister, you are really used to being called.
By the way, why does he value me so much?
I am obviously only fifteen years old. Although I have always thought that I am very smart, I am not smart enough for that kind of people to appreciate me, right?
Sister, can you guess what Gawain thinks of me?"
"Why?"
Hearing Nami's words, Nokigao blinked, and then she took Nami's hand.
"Why should I guess that, or do you need to think about it so much?
No matter why the Lord values you, or why he dragged me on board to be a gardener that doesn't mean much.
Regardless of whether he has good intentions or bad intentions, aren't you our benefactors?
Has it only been six days since you left Windmill Village that you have forgotten that your Excellency saved our village?"
While talking, Nokigao rubbed Nami's wrist.
"So don't think too much, Nami, even if we can't respond to the adults' expectations of us, we must try our best to repay the kindness he has bestowed on us.
As for now, the way you repay him is by not making him worry.
Come, come and have dinner with me. You have not thought about food and tea these days. My lord has mentioned this four times.
How did you girl become such a workaholic? It’s really terrible.”
Just like that, Nuoqiu pulled Nami out of the cabin. They crossed the courtyard and garden, and then passed through the orange grove to the dining area.
On the most luxurious sofa, Gawain was talking to Smoker who had just returned to the ship.
When he noticed Nami coming, he said hello to Nami with his steak in his mouth.
"Nami, I know you have been busy these days, but no matter what, don't miss the meal time.
If you don’t eat enough, you won’t have the energy to look toward the future.”
Speaking of this, Gawain pointed at Smoker gently.
"Just in time, Smoker brought back Colonel Mouse. This guy used to be in cahoots with Aaron Kang, and he can be regarded as the main culprit for your village's suffering.
If you always miss meals, how can you have the strength to seek revenge from such a guy?"
After the words fell, Gawain gently waved his hand to Smoker.
"Smorg, leave this guy to Nami and Shiliu.
Let Nami decide what kind of punishment he deserves, and then ask Nozomi to give him the consequences he deserves, go ahead."
"Yes, sir, it is very appropriate for Mr. Shiliu to handle such things!"
Across from him, Smoker puffed out smoke.
"It is the emergence of such a navy that has done so much evil that has caused our navy's reputation among ordinary people to plummet!
A bastard who does bad things wearing a navy suit is far more despicable than a bastard who does bad things wearing a pirate name!

!”
Having said this, Smoker gently sent the mouse colonel he was holding in the direction of Nami in the distance.
After a moment, Colonel Mouse rolled to Nami's feet.
As soon as it stopped, the mouse quickly looked towards Nami, and saw that he instantly knelt down and begged for mercy, and kowtowed to Nami continuously.
"Nami, it's you, Nami, aren't you Aaron's navigator!
You must say something for me. I really have never killed any villagers. The reason why I let Aaron collect money in a nearby village was because he promised me that he would not massacre the village, so I reluctantly allowed him to do that.
!
You are Aaron's navigator, you must be very smart, so you should know that even if there is no Aaron in the world, there will be other tigers and tigers.
Anyway, you must beg for me!
!”
When he said this, the mouse's face was already covered with tears, and the three wisps of beard on his lips, which looked like mouse beards, also quickly drooped.
Seeing the mouse begging for mercy so humbly, Nami's face was covered with a shadow. She was silent for a long time, and finally shook her head and said to Gawain.
"Lord Gawain, I am already very tired just drawing those charts, I don't want to waste my time on this kind of garbage!
I am too lazy to give him any punishment, so you should hand him over to Mr. Shiliu!"
While speaking, Nami glanced at Shiliu who was not far away. Facing Nami's eyes, Shiliu responded with an excited smile.
"Hiss...!"
Nami was startled by Shiliu's smile. Mr. Shiliu is really cruel. He seems to be hurting others all the time.
However, having such a person as the Blackbird's executioner made Nami feel particularly safe.
If he is in the execution department, no evil person like a mouse can escape the punishment of death, right?
While Nami was thinking, Nokigao behind her also spoke.
"Nami is right, this kind of garbage is not worth wasting our time on him!"
As he spoke, Nuo Qigao picked up the trembling body of Colonel Mouse.
She directly carried the old book to Xiliu.
"Mr. Shiliu, I leave this person to you."
"rest assured!"
Xi Liu nodded heavily, then picked up the mouse and left. As for the mouse, he was so scared that he didn't even have the strength to speak.
Seeing the dirty look on the rat's face when it was carried away, Smoker blew out the cigarette fiercely.
"You deserve it!"
While cursing, he sat back at the dining table and ate his meal sullenly.
Gawain waved to Nami from his seat.
"Everything is settled, let's eat quickly. I have to continue training after eating.
As for your work, pay attention to the balance between work and rest. You are still young and have a lot of time. Don’t overextend yourself when you are fifteen."
"As you command!"
Listening to Gawain's concern, Nami nodded heavily. Strangely enough, after seeing the mouse, Nami actually had a little appetite.
The moment Nami sat down, the personnel on the Blackbird observation tower sent Kalifa the latest observation information.
They have seen the shadow of Barati, the restaurant on the sea!
!
As soon as the lookout finished speaking, Rayleigh, who was drinking warm wine and eating peanuts, suddenly jumped up.
Looking at the sea in the distance, Rayleigh tightened his grip on his knife!
"Damn it, I finally waited for this day!
Captain, please eat slowly while I go find that old guy Garp to have a good chat!
!
Gion, Yixiao, come with me for a walk. The three of us go forward to greet you, so that old guy Garp can lose half an hour of sleep!
How long has it been since that guy experienced being beaten?
It must have been a long time!
Today, Garp, it’s time for you to recall those days!
!”
After the words fell, Rayleigh cupped his hands to Gawain, then turned and left.
Behind him, Yixiao nodded gently to Gawain, and then he followed Lei Li with a smile.
Except for him, Zefa dropped the tachyon in anticipation.
"Rayleigh, you old guy, why don't you call me too!
That stinky old guy Garp, I wanted to beat him up when I was young, but I didn’t expect that I would finally be able to realize this dream today, haha!
"
But as soon as Zefa finished speaking, Robin, who was drinking orange juice at the side, suddenly raised his head.
"Old Zefa has always wanted to beat Garp, is this your dream all along?
So, why didn't you take action during those years when you were a general?
Or, you tried, but couldn't beat me?"
"Well……?!
"
Zefa, who was backstabbed by Robin, pursed his lips and turned around in displeasure, only to see him patting Rayleigh on the shoulder.
"No, I'm so angry. I need to use more force later!"
Having said this, Zefa turned around and looked at Robin worriedly.
"And you, little girl Robin...
I’m telling you, you must not be too stupid as a person!
You girl... you're a bad learner!
!”
…
In the sea restaurant Baratili, more than fifty woks were working at the same time. The flames of cooking and the smell of spices made the red-footed Zhepu, who was leading the crowd, take a deep breath.
"Kids, stay motivated, this is the taste, the taste of emotion!
You must devote everything you have to making delicious food, and never waste any precious ingredients!
!”
After encouraging the chefs, Zefa picked up the kitchen knife and continued to put away the ingredients.
You know, all of them, including Balati and others, have less than a hundred chefs.
Such a quantity requires processing enough ingredients to feed 40,000 people...
To be honest, they are professional enough, and ordinary chefs simply don’t have this ability!
And just as Zhepu was waving the kitchen knife, someone suddenly broke into the kitchen.
"captain!
!
Captain Zep!
!
We have discovered the Blackbird!
That is really... a really huge ship!
!”
"oh?"
At this moment, Zhepu raised his eyes, his eyes full of sharp anticipation.
"Has the super discerning Tianlong who appreciates my cooking skills finally arrived?
good!
!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhepu rushed out of the kitchen with the knife and rushed all the way to the deck.
Sanji did not follow Zhepu. The young man was now handling the ingredients under his hands extremely seriously.
As a chef, Sanji is sometimes more focused than Zepp. For example, right now, Sanji doesn't care who eats the food he cooks.
He must be worthy of every ingredient on the eucalyptus board!
As for Zhepu, although he is equally pure, compared with food, Zhepu has too many worries in his heart.
The lives of his crew, Sanji's life and future, these things have long been placed in front of his dishes.
Because of this, Zhepu was staring at the Black Bird that was getting closer and closer. Looking at the towering mast of the Black Bird, Zhepu's braid-like beard trembled twice.
.
"No wonder that guy Garp said that I can recognize the Black Bird at a glance!
This... this is really a moving island!
And...that whale...is it an island whale?
Haha, many glands of island whales are used as super ingredients for making curry!
!”
Rab:(○o○)?
Not to mention Zhepu's fantasies about ingredients, when he looked at the Blackbird, Kaku also appeared on the deck for the first time.
Looking at the approaching Black Bird, Kaku rubbed his head silently.
In order to keep Mr. Karp at Barati Restaurant, he, Kaku, really sacrificed too much...
I have to be hit in the head by Mr. Karp every day!
Although Mr. Karp thought that he was a subordinate of the Lord and was able to learn from Instructor Zefa, he taught him many special skills of the Six Forms.
But... why does Mr. Karp like to hit other people’s heads so much when he is teaching!
!
Even now, Kaku feels a pain in the back of his head. Mr. Garp's fist can't even withstand the Haki of Armed Color!
!
When Kaku greeted the Blackbird, Garp lazily opened his eyes from the recliner.
He glanced at the black bird's sail in the distance and snorted disdainfully.
“It’s such a big and conspicuous ship. Every time I see it, I feel like it’s such a waste!
And the people on that ship, hum, I can smell the smell of pirates from such a distance...huh???"
Suddenly, Karp suddenly stood up from the recliner and looked into the distance with his mouth open.
"That kind of momentum, hahahahaha, it seems that those old guys interrupted me and me from doing anything!
!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Garp directly picked up his deck chair and rushed to the edge of the deck.
In a moment, the recliner in his hand quickly turned dark.
Carrying the chair, Garp aimed slightly at the distant sky.
Then, he shouted loudly.
“Eat my chair!
!”
The moment Garp finished speaking, no one else on the Baladi deck understood what Garp was doing.
Above the sky, suddenly there was a huge meteorite, which smashed all the way in the direction of Barati!
But before the people on Barati started to panic, Garp's armed-colored recliner had already hit the meteorite!
