Pirate Commander

Chapter 152 New Year's Eve Ceremony
Temporarily reached a cooperative relationship with the Hundred Beasts Pirates in the "Hundred Beasts Fruit", and temporarily calmed the mood of the world government. The new country ushered in a rare period of peaceful development.

Less than a month has passed since the "Battle of the Beasts Pirates' Mammoth Fleet", and the pace of time has entered the year 1519 of the sea calendar.

It has not been long since Monkey D. Lufei, the son of the plane, went to sea.

In the world of One Piece, there is only one recognized "sea calendar" year, there is no such thing as "solar calendar" or "lunar calendar", and there is no so-called "Spring Festival".

There is Christmas, but there is no "Jesus" in this world, so the importance of Christmas is not as important as in Western countries on the earth, it is just an ordinary festival.

New Year's Day is the biggest celebration on this planet.

When the villages of North and Cocoa Island were founded, the New Year's Day celebrations in the first year were very small, just like the most common "big banquet" in the world.

But this year is different. Small western-style buildings have sprung up, the streets are brightly lit, and the whole new country is a scene of thousands of lights and prosperity from top to bottom.

With the addition of Schiphol Islands and West Robe Island, coupled with the expansion of offshore platforms around Cocoa Island, the most important thing is the upgrading of the level of technology. Compared with the first year, the GDP of the new country doubled last year. There are dozens of times to say the least.

The living standards of the people are undergoing earth-shaking changes at a speed that can be discerned by the naked eye. If it is not because the development time is too short, many people may even forget that not long ago they were just worrying about food and clothing, because of pirates. Fishermen and farmers who are threatened and cannot sleep peacefully.

The mood of many citizens can be described in one word, which is almost "like a lifetime away".

"Swoosh~smack~"

The sparkling fireworks flew high into the night sky, and colorful petals bloomed under the night, which seemed to entrust the joy and longing of the people.

Every house is brightly lit, and there is constant laughter and laughter at the tables full of New Year's Eve dinners.

People come and go on the street, and people who like to be lively put on their most satisfactory clothes and blend into the celebrating crowd, looking forward to a beautiful encounter and even better in the coming yearMore harvest.

"Ah Jin, where did you get this big octopus?... What did you say? You caught it yourself? You can beat this thing? You are very good! You said you used to be a fisherman. I still don't believe it, but now I really believe it!"

"North, look, there are a lot of people around there, what happened?"

Nami held North's hand, and the two trot along the way and followed the crowd.

During this time of New Year's Eve celebration, North and Nami were no longer busy. The two put on their most relaxed and down-to-earth clothes and blended into the celebrating crowd.

Fortunately, the vast majority of people in the world of One Piece are generally face-blind. As long as you wear sunglasses and change your hairstyle, you will basically not be able to recognize them.

The fake Straw Hat Pirates in the original space-time look very different from the real Straw Hat Pirates on the bounty order, but they still deceived thousands of people. It can be seen that people in Pirate World are already face-blind. to what extent.

It was only after the two passed by that they realized that a fishmonger named Ah Jin had caught a huge octopus and was cooking takoyaki on the spot. It was provided free of charge, one per person, first come first served.

"Well, it smells so good..."

Nami raised her small nose, took a deep breath, looked salivating, and turned to North and said, "Wait for me, I'll grab a copy too."

"Okay, I'll wait for you." North waved to Nami with a relaxed smile.

"Akin? Is that ghost Akin from the Creek Pirates? How did he get here? Didn't he join the Creek Pirates at that time?"

North recalled the situation back then. He remembered that when Klick came to his country to do things, he did not see that ghost Arkin at that time.

"Since Ajin can pass the review of the immigration bureau, it proves that he should have done nothing bad before. Forget it, as long as he didn't do anything harmful, I don't have to care too much."

North is actually very clear that many people in this world are not born pirates, but are forced by life.

"Oh, it's a pity that Baiji Crow, if I travel earlier, maybe that guy can become a capable general under my command."

Just when North was feeling emotional, Nami had already turned back.

"Why only one copy? What about my share?"

Seeing Nami holding only one takoyaki in her hand, North put on an angry look.

Nami pouted her face and said, "There are too many people, and I still had to work hard to get this one."

"Give me a taste first."

"do not want!"

Nami stretched out her hand to protect the takoyaki, and stuffed one into her small mouth by the way, said intoxicatedly, "Oh...it smells so good."

Seeing North with his arms folded and speechless, Nami chomped on takoyaki and said inarticulately, "You...pot...here..."

Seeing that North was unmoved, Nami stomped her feet and shouted again: "Come here."

North smiled and shook his head, then walked over and said helplessly, "What are you doing, you little thief."

"Let me give you a taste."

Nami inserted a takoyaki with a bamboo stick, stood on tiptoe, and carefully brought it to North's lips: "Hey, open your mouth."

"..."

North chewed slowly, and the delicious taste of takoyaki filled his mouth instantly. He couldn't help but exclaimed: "This is really good!"

"That's right! I heard from the crowd that Ah Jin seems to have learned from a chef named Sanji in that famous sea restaurant."

"Sea restaurant? Sanji?"

"Yes, yes, let's go there someday when we are free. In fact, I have wanted to go there for a long time. It is the most famous restaurant in Donghai."

"Are you making a request to me? Little Thieving Cat."

"Uh... no... can't you?" Nami was stunned suddenly, and she didn't understand what North meant.

North shook his head and said, "I want to say, if I remember correctly, this seems to be the first time you have asked me. You seem to have never asked me anything before."

"Ham, everything I have now was originally brought to me by you. Without you, I would not have all this, and maybe I would lose more. In fact, I am very satisfied now, there is nothing good required."

While talking, Nami unconsciously poked the takoyaki with a bamboo stick, poking holes one after another.

North stretched out his hands, stroked Nami's cheeks, stared at her eyes, and said with a smile: "Ann, I will take you to the restaurant on the sea. Not only will I take you to the restaurant on the sea, I will also take you to the restaurant on the sea." You go to Food City, to Fishman Island, to Sky Island, and travel around every corner of the world, taking you to appreciate every piece of scenery in this world. This sea is very beautiful."

"Ah."

Nami nodded lightly, and the two of them were soon submerged in the crowd again. No one would find it strange, and everyone would only think that this was just an ordinary couple.

Tonight is not a celebration for a certain person, but a New Year's Eve celebration for every citizen of the new country.
