Taoist priest, who is so popular in One Piece

"well!"

"Let's have a party for our new friend Usopp!!!"

On the deck, Luffy seemed quite excited.

I just don't know whether he was excited about the new partner, or about being able to have a party, or both.

But no matter what, although there are only five people on the boat at the moment, the atmosphere is still quite warm.

"cheers!!!"

"Hahahahahaha!!!"

Amidst the singing and laughter, several people began to eat and drink without any restraint.

"Burp~~~~The food cooked by Bai Ye is still so delicious."

Luffy patted his belly and collapsed on the recliner with great enjoyment.

"Although it's an ordinary dish, I don't know why it tastes quite good."

Nami also continued to speak on the side. As a little thief in the East China Sea, she believed that she had seen a lot.

But it's rare to find someone like Bai Ye who can make ordinary dishes taste like this.

"For me, the wine of the White Night is the most satisfying."

It was rare for Zoro to have no training. He held a jar of wine and drank it comfortably.

"Hmm~ It's really delicious. So, is Bai Ye the chef?"

After Usopp wolfed down his food, he also asked his own question.

“I just know how to cook,”

Bai Ye shook his head: "On this sea, chef is a very important position, not everyone can do it."

"After all, only a true chef knows how to perfectly match ingredients."

"You know, eating enough and eating well are two completely different concepts."

Bai Ye, who has read the original work, naturally knows the importance of chefs in the world of One Piece.

Moreover, if he took charge of the cooking, there would seem to be no need for Luffy and the others to recruit Sanji.

More importantly, Bai Ye doesn't want to add extra work to himself.

Let's leave the position of chef to Sanji.

"well!"

Luffy sat up at this time, tapped his palm and said:

"Then let's go find a chef partner."

“And musicians!”

"How can there be no music at a pirate party?"

Regarding Luffy's words, no one on the ship made any comment.

Even Usopp, who had just boarded the ship, was prepared for Luffy's inconsistent thinking.

Then, the banquet continued until late at night, and everyone went back to their rooms to sleep.

-

Under the moonlit sky

The Merry sailed slowly on the blue sea, and suddenly there was a long-lost peace.

Hard-working paper man: Listen to me and say thank you, because of you~

"crunch~"

But the peace did not last long, and the sound of a door being pushed open was heard.

Nami walked out of the room and slowly walked to the edge of the deck, looking at the endless sea in the distance, wondering what she was thinking.

Unlike the happiness at the party, there seemed to be a hint of sadness in Nami's eyes at this moment.

“I really hope that days like this can last a little longer~”

Nami muttered to herself.

"Why not, Nami~"

Bai Ye's voice suddenly appeared, but Nami was not surprised. She turned her head:

"I knew you were coming."

Bai Ye shrugged after hearing this:

"There's nothing we can do. Luffy is an idiot, Zoro is a training maniac and a straight man, and Usopp is a new partner."

"So I'm the only one who can do this kind of psychological counseling, right?"

After saying this, a smile appeared on his face.

"After all, you are our partner too, aren't you?"

I don’t know why, Bai Ye just said something that seemed incomprehensible to others, but it made Nami feel like crying.

She now had a feeling that Bai Ye knew her identity when he first met her.

“Everyone is nice, but I...”

Nami finally shook her head. Living in fear of Aaron since she was a child, she had subconsciously left the idea that "no one can defeat Aaron".

"But I still can't get on this ship. It will kill everyone."

When Nami said this, she couldn't help but sit down on the ground, supporting herself with her left hand and wiping her tears with her right hand.

Before redeeming the village.

Before escaping from the control of the Arlong Pirates.

You must not harm more people.

"Really? Don't make decisions on your own."

The pleasant voice sounded again, but the meaning of the words made Nami couldn't help but look up and look at Bai Ye in confusion.

Bai Ye squatted down and said:

"Luffy and everyone else treat you as a true partner."

"A partner is someone you can trust 100% of the time."

"So, before you get too excited, could you please ask for everyone's opinions?"

Bai Ye's expression became serious. He put his hands on Nami's shoulders and said:

"After all, everyone has the belief to sacrifice their lives for their partners!"

"white night..."

Nami didn't know what to say, but she could feel it.

Bai Ye was serious about what he said just now.

At this moment, Nami had a feeling.

“It’s really great to be in the company of these people.”

The original work is a passionate comic and does not show too much of the ugliness of the world.

The memories about Nami are only brief, but even so, you can understand it by just thinking about it briefly.

How much pressure Nami has to bear, and how much humiliation and injustice has she suffered over the years.

Aaron?

Bai Ye thought, it will be your turn soon.

It's just ten times the physical fitness.

When the time comes, use that thing to give him a surprise.

In the end, Bai Ye and Nami made an agreement with each other.

After finding the next partner, Nami will reveal everything and let everyone in the pirate group make a choice.

Bai Ye was quite satisfied with this result.

It would be fine as long as Nami doesn't drive the boat back to give the money and then get humiliated again.

When reading the original novel, Bai Ye felt very depressed.

After sending Nami back to her room, Bai Ye walked out the door, looked at the observation deck, chuckled, shook his head and left.

There, Zoro was holding three swords and a jar of wine, his eyes deep.

Tons tons tons~

"This wine is really good~"

There are some things that he is not interested in, so you just need to call him when you need to take action.
