[One Piece] Captain Straw Hat and his Navigator
Chapter 38 Leave
The Straw Hats decided to stay in Tokushima for five days to celebrate the New Year before setting sail.
Luffy was looking forward to snowing during the Chinese New Year, but Nami's words, "Dressrosa is a tropical island, it's hot and humid all year round, and it almost never snows." His delusion was instantly shattered.
Luffy pouted and hung on the stool: "I'm so disappointed."
The straw hat youth's mood quickly adjusted back, and he hurriedly left the palace when he heard Zoro's voice calling him out.
It was New Year's Eve in the evening, and Sanji and Franky Jinbe went shopping for ingredients together. Nami, Usopp, Chopper and Robin agreed to go shopping on the street to buy some special New Year products.
Prepare to live a simple New Year happily.
When they came back in the evening, Cyrus, Rebecca and the little humans came back with Luffy and others. The entire main hall of the palace couldn't fit in the number of people.
At midnight, Luffy took out the firecrackers made by Usopp.
The flame ignited the fuse, and the sound of crackling firecrackers and laughter filled the sky.
The sky is gradually getting brighter, and in Tokushima in the early morning, shops are opening one after another on the bustling streets.
Nami accepted the supplies from King Riku without any burden, and then smiled and greeted everyone to leave. Luffy stood next to Nami carrying a big bag, smiling and saying goodbye to King Riku and others.
Nami asked: "Where is Rebecca?"
Violet said helplessly to Nami: "Maybe she doesn't want to leave. The little girl always thinks a lot."
Luffy was a little disappointed, but he didn't care: "Okay, goodbye everyone."
The Straw Hats walked towards the pier, as if they were walking through a dedicated passage. There was a one-way street in front of them, and pedestrians from both sides were saying goodbye.
Suddenly the pink-haired girl's shout reached Luffy's ears: "Lucy!"
Luffy followed the sound and saw that it was Rebecca standing on the wall shouting towards this side.
He waved to her vigorously, "Goodbye!"
"Luffy! I have something to tell you, wait for me!" The girl's trembling voice followed the hot wind, and she quickly disappeared from the city wall.
Nami said crisply: "Go back quickly. Everyone goes back to Sunny first."
"Hey, this idiot captain's popularity with women is so good that it makes people jealous." Sanji lit up his cigarette, turned around and walked forward.
Usopp also complained: "Speaking of which, Vivi, Hancock, Shirahoshi, Rebecca, and Yamato."
"Speaking of women's karma, Sauron-san is too good at it." Brooke put in a good comment.
"I really don't know what those people see in this muscular stupid man, Lu Chi Green Algae Head."
"Huh? I'm better than you, a stinky cook who gets into heat anytime, anywhere."
The two of them started to have a childish, mutually destructive conversation as soon as they were at odds with each other, sparks sparkling in their gazes.
"Nami? Is this okay?" Robin raised an eyebrow and asked Nami.
"It's okay. Actually, Rebecca came to see me yesterday." Nami recalled the shy girl yesterday——
The sun hung halfway above the sea level, and the horizon was dyed bright crimson.
Nami looked at the nervous Rebecca in front of her, and she said softly: "After Luffy told you, you really came to ask me?"
"Lucy said Nami would want me to stay with my family, but I don't know why?" Rebecca looked at Nami with clear eyes.
I really didn't expect that guy to pass the blame, Nami cursed.
"Rebecca, do you have a dream?"
"Yes, I hope that one day I can go to sea and see a wider world." The girl said firmly looking into Nami's eyes.
Nami smiled: "Robin probably told me what happened in Dressrosa ten years ago. Rebecca, our experiences are very similar."
"I want to protect the people I care about, and I want to fulfill my dreams. So I fight hard and survive, just like you.
But one day, my hopes were dashed. My relatives are going to die for me. "
"It was Luffy who saved me when I was most desperate."
"That guy didn't have a navigator on his ship, so I became the navigator! I became his partner, and I chose to leave my hometown for my own dream."
"To be honest, it's scary. Luffy is really fearless. Zoro and Usopp are always getting into trouble. I'm really afraid that my destiny will be lost to them."
"Rebecca, your father has already lost your mother, he can't lose you again."
Nami winked at her playfully and said, "Maybe, one day, you can go to the outside world with your father."
Seeing that Rebecca was silent for a moment, Nami was ready to give her some time to digest, and then turned around to leave when she suddenly heard the girl's trembling voice:
"Nami-san, do you also like Luffy?"
Nami turned her back to her: "Yes."
"Is that why you don't want me to get on the ship? Isn't Luffy the captain?" the girl cried with a questioning tone.
"Rebecca" Nami was stunned. She turned around but only saw the figure of the pink-haired girl leaving in a hurry.
"Luffy!" The girl stood on the steps of the city wall. When she saw his figure, she hurried back to the city wall.
Luffy smiled happily at her: "I'm very happy to see you off, Rebecca."
The girl stopped three steps away from him. She looked at him expectantly: "Can't I go to sea with you?"
"No." Luffy answered directly, "If I have a chance, I will come back to play with you."
Rebecca couldn't hold back her tears. She sniffed: "Nami-san said that my experience was very similar to hers."
"I don't know." Luffy said expressionlessly. He didn't want to hear about Nami's past.
Rebecca wiped away her tears and said almost through gritted teeth: "She said she likes you."
She saw the young man raise a smile and said proudly: "I know this."
Rebecca froze on the spot. She watched the young man wave goodbye, then jumped off the city wall and ran towards the pier impatiently.
Tears gradually blurred her eyes. She squatted down, buried her face in her knees, and cried loudly.
The Sonny took advantage of the favorable sea breeze and drifted away.
