Pirate: It's reasonable for a pirate like me to look for treasure.

The two of them were very close, but the two of them were very close.

Sanji was so jealous that his teeth almost broke when he saw Nami crying in Lake's arms, but he had noticed it the moment he got on the ship.

Nami and Lake had a closer relationship than with others, but adhering to the principle of seeing through but not saying it, Sanji was still envious and jealous.

Lake looked at Nami crying in his arms and let out a long sigh. He gently wiped the tears from her face and said, "Okay, everything is over."

Luffy also shouted at the side: "Should we have a party?"

After hearing this, Usopp stepped forward and gave Luffy a slap and said, "This place has been exploited by Arlong. How can we have a party?"

But at this time, Ajian, who had been watching the battle, stood up and said, "Open! Of course we have to hold it! And we have to hold the most grand party and inform all the people in the surrounding villages that Arlong Paradise has collapsed and we are free!"

Ajian's voice finally made the villagers who were still standing there react. One by one, they cheered excitedly and ran away.

Luffy jumped up happily when he heard Ajian's words, and began to dance strangely with Usopp.

Ajian also looked at Lake and Nami at this time. Nami noticed that Ajian's eyes were not right, and immediately escaped from Lake's arms.

Then he started looking for things in the ruins of Along Paradise as if nothing had happened. Lake always felt strange when Ajian looked at him with such eyes.

He always felt that he had done something wrong, so Lake dodged Ajian's gaze and rubbed his nose awkwardly.

Unexpectedly, Ajian said to Lake: "Come to the hillside east of Kekoyaxi Village to find me at night. I have something to tell you."

Lake looked in that direction, then nodded and agreed to Ajian. After that, it was time for the banquet. The villagers were very efficient.

At nightfall, some arrangements had been completed. The lively atmosphere was accompanied by various cheers, and the grand banquet began.

...

At this time, on the other side, in the 16th branch of the Navy, Colonel Mouse had recovered and excitedly dialed the Den Den Mushi.

"Hello! Can you hear me?"

"Yes, this is the Navy Headquarters, please report."

"This is the 16th Navy Branch, I am Colonel Mouse, Navy Number: 00733, requesting the headquarters!"

"You don't have to shout so loudly to hear me."

"Listen up! A vicious pirate gang has appeared in the East China Sea, called the Straw Hat Pirates! They are quite threatening! They have defeated the Arlong Pirates, who have the highest bounty in the East China Sea!"

"The Straw Hat Pirates... have the Arlong Pirates been defeated? Got it."

"It's not over yet. According to my investigation, this group of people have been burning, killing, looting and committing all kinds of evil during their time in the East China Sea, and even directly attacked the Navy. , hurting a large number of navy soldiers!"

"They are doing all kinds of evil... attacking the navy..."

"That's right! First, treat the six of them as enemies of the government and put a bounty on all of them! Especially a black-haired swordsman kid, who should be the vice captain, he poses a huge threat!"

"A bounty on all of them... I got it, I will report it truthfully."

"Okay, I'll fax their photos now!"

"Got it."

Quack~

After the Den Den Mushi hung up, the mouse's anger could not be calmed for a long time, but when he thought of Lake's appearance, his desire for revenge instantly dissipated, and he could only smash the table angrily to vent his emotions.

The Straw Hat Pirates, who were eating, drinking and having fun at the banquet, naturally had no idea what was going on. Everyone was enjoying the joy of the banquet.

Until late at night, the atmosphere not only did not weaken but became more cheerful. Lake walked silently towards the east with a plate of cakes.

Soon he saw Jian, who was sitting in front of a simple cross grave and drinking. After hearing the footsteps, Jian turned around and said, "You are here, come and sit down."

Lake did not refuse and went straight to Jian and sat down, and handed him the cake in his hand, but Jian did not eat it and began to reminisce.

"Boy, let me introduce you, this is Bellemeier, the mother of Nami and Nokigo. I think you should come to meet her since you kidnapped Nami."

Lake was almost choked to death by the cake when he heard Jian's words. He quickly took Jian's wine and drank two mouthfuls before swallowing it, and said helplessly.

"Nami is my partner

, don't say it as if I forced you."

Ajian looked at Lake and smiled and said, "Partners? I think it's more than that... Forget it, kid, Nami will be handed over to you in the future. If one day I find out that you made her lose her current smile, even if I can't beat you, I will settle the score with you even if I fight for my life!"

"Okay~ You have said this before, you are old, don't fight for every turn, Nami has always regarded you as her father."

"You kid... Nami really didn't misjudge you, what she said was right, even for Nami, I can't just die."

"That's right~"

"If I can't see Nami get married with my own eyes, I believe Belle-Merle will not let me go in heaven, hahahaha!"

"Puff! Uh... Why are you talking about marriage!"

"Hahahaha! Okay kid, go back, I want to chat with Belle-Merle alone. "

Lake was naturally not so tactless. He took out two bottles of wine from the banquet from his space ring and put them on the ground, then turned and left.

This action also made the smile on Jian's face even stronger. He opened two bottles of wine and poured one bottle on the grave in front of him, saying with a look of relief.

"Bellmer, Nami has grown up, and she has also met a boy who is very caring. You don't have to worry about her anymore..."

Lake saw Luffy with a mouth full of meat and two chicken legs in his hands as soon as he returned to the village. After seeing Lake, Luffy swallowed all the food in his mouth.

Then he said, "Lake, where have you been? By the way! Do you know where the melon ham is?"

Lake looked at Luffy in front of him helplessly and said, "I really don't know how much you can eat. It's over there, but it may be out of stock. It's limited."

Hearing Lake's words, Luffy immediately shouted and rushed in the direction Lake pointed: "Melon ham, wait for me! "

Lake was also amused by Luffy, and quietly returned to the village, blending into the lively atmosphere again.

No one expected that this grand banquet would last for three days and was even as lively as the first day.
