58: Chapter 58 Arrival at the Naval BaseNojiko was too embarrassed to respond because, just like Nami said, she didn't go back to her own room that night; instead, she followed Luffy all the way back to his room.
However, Luffy was happy to sleep with Nojiko, since the last time they slept together was in Cocoyasi Village, and the two wanted to spend some time together after so long.
However, now the two's tender moments have become four.After complaining for a while, Nami didn't hesitate to pull Kuina to sleep on either side of Luffy, with Nojiko in the middle.
The current situation with four people is.well, thankfully it's not summer, otherwise, sitting next to each other like in a furnace would make it impossible to sleep.
However, for Kuina, temperature was completely irrelevant.She was not sleepy at all while leaning on Wang Luffy's shoulder, and was even becoming more and more energetic.
Perhaps because the young girl is inexperienced, Nojiko and Luffy have already fallen asleep, and the carefree Nami is also about to drift off to sleep.
Therefore, people shouldn't have so many thoughts; either be happy all the time or get used to everything.
As expected, Nami, her sister, and Luffy slept soundly, unwilling to even get up.Kuina, with dark circles under her eyes, only managed a short nap close to dawn, after which she couldn't fall back asleep.
After Wang Lufei opened his eyes, he noticed her unusual behavior.He bent his left hand and stroked her head with concern, asking, "Nana, did you not sleep well last night?"
"That's true.It's normal for some people to have trouble falling asleep when there are several people together.Don't force yourself to do what Nami and the others do; it will only make you suffer."
Kuina, enjoying the caresses, squinted and replied, "I didn't follow anyone else's example.This is my own choice.I want to be with you.But you can't shirk your responsibility.After all this, I'm.I'm already unmarriageable."
Wang Lufei laughed and said, "Okay, okay.As long as you're willing, I definitely won't let you down."
Then Wang Lufei grinned mischievously and whispered in her ear, "Should I start calling you 'darling' right now?"
Upon hearing this, Kuina's face flushed red, like a ripe apple, and she hurriedly said, "Again, you're teasing me again.If you keep doing this, I won't talk to you anymore."
As she spoke, Kuina turned her head to the other side.Seeing this, Wang Lufei used the hand that was on her head to gently pull her head back.
Then he gave her a good morning kiss and said, "I'm not kidding, if you really want to."
Kuina blushed and replied, "I know, I know, but please don't call me that anymore, at least not now, it's too embarrassing."
Seeing that she was almost at her limit, Wang Lufei stopped teasing her and turned to tease Nami with his other hand.
However, Nami wasn't having any of it, because she simply wouldn't get up.No matter how much Luffy shook her, she remained fast asleep.
However, this action did wake Nojiko up, although even without these actions, Nojiko's internal biological clock would have reminded her to wake up.
Then Wang Luffy fiddled with things for a while, but finding Nami still fast asleep, he gave up.He, Kuina, and Nojiko quietly got out of bed to prepare for their morning exercise.
The days at sea continued as usual, peaceful and warm.Soon, the group returned to the naval base.
(Bogart: What about me?I'm still in Sabaody.Am I really that invisible?)
It wasn't that he didn't want to pick up Bogart, but since the inspection team had been established, someone still had to do the work.Garp needed to discuss the follow-up matters with Sengoku in person after rescuing the unfortunate Celestial Dragon, so he went back first.
After disembarking, Garp gave a few instructions and then led the Celestial Dragons to the Fleet Admiral's office.Luffy and the others followed the personal guards to the training grounds.
For Luffy, the Marine base looked familiar yet strange, because in the ten years since he came to this world, he had only been here once before he was three years old when Garp brought him here, and he hadn't seen it for seven years.
Although it had been a long time since they last visited, Luffy was still quite familiar with the iconic landmark.After showing up at the training ground, Luffy led Nami and the others out.
Wang Luffy planned to go to Kizaru's office first to say hello to his cheap mentor.However, just as he was about to arrive at the office, he ran into an old acquaintance—Enel, whose eyes were now filled with kindness.
This poor kid hasn't had a single good day since he listened to Kizaru and went to test Sengoku.
Although Kizaru later explained that Enel was only following his orders and did not actually hate the Celestial Dragons, Sengoku still arranged for Enel to receive the highest level of naval moral education.
Enel has now transformed from his previous arrogant and unruly self into a benevolent leader within the Marines.
Wang Luffy greeted him, "Hey, Enel.Long time no see.How's it going at the Marine base?"
Upon hearing this, Enel smiled kindly and replied, "Entering the naval base feels like coming home.It feels much better at the base than at home.Everyone there is so talented and speaks so kindly.I love it here."
After speaking, Enel struck a respectful pose.
Looking at Enel, who smelled a bit off, Wang Luffy unconsciously shook his head, sighing that society was simple, but people were complicated.How could someone who used to be so individualistic have become like this?
After exchanging a few more words with Enel, Luffy parted ways with him and prepared to open the door to Kizaru's office.
Kizaru, inside the door, had already noticed the anomaly outside.He very considerately teleported open the door, then teleported back to his chair to strike a pose.His movements were incredibly fluid, almost like an automatic door.
The three women following behind Wang Lufei were also somewhat impressed.As expected of an admiral's office, it was indeed high-class, with even the doors being automatic.
Wang Lufei looked at the noodlesKizaru, who had been subtly showing off, smiled helplessly and said, "Uncle Kizaru, we're all on the same side, no need to be so aloof."
Kizaru said, somewhat puzzled, "This is really hard to understand.What are you referring to, little Luffy?"
Hearing the slightly threatening tone in those words, Wang Lufei didn't continue.Instead, he changed the subject, saying, "Let's not talk about that anymore.Let me introduce you, Uncle Yuan.These three are my girlfriends.It's not too much to ask for a little something as a gift, is it?"
When the three girls heard Wang Lufei introduce himself like that, they all blushed and lowered their heads without saying a word.
Kizaru was genuinely surprised this time and praised, "You're really amazing, Luffy.I've only ever admired your father in my life, but from today onwards, you're someone I admire too."
Then Kizaru shook his head and said, "This is troublesome.I didn't prepare any gifts.What should I do?"
Speaking of Kizaru, he started rummaging through his office, looking rather troubled.Seeing that Kizaru seemed serious, Wang Luffy said, "Um, Uncle Kizaru, you can owe me a gift now, no rush."
As Kizaru flipped through the pages, he said, "Wait a minute, I'll find it soon."
