Chapter 41: Nami's training plan–

"Yikes!" With an exclamation, Nami quickly turned and looked behind her. When she found out that it was Rifan, Nami was deeply relieved.

"Really, teacher Rifan, don't scare me."

Nami patted her chest, and the hearts of those who had already snuffed out a little bit trembled with Nami's breathing.

"By the way, teacher Rifan, what happened to the newly added nameplate?"

Looking in the direction of Nami's finger, there is Vivi's disciple name tag on it.

Although it was said that there were two dojo halls, as long as Rifan accepted the disciples, all the dojo halls would show the disciples' name cards.

"Vivi is a disciple I have received in other dojos, and she will learn some combat skills later."

"So that's what happened." Nami nodded, "Teacher Rifan, Vivi this person, is a woman?" 

"That's right, what's the problem?"

"Nothing... no problem." Nami muttered.

However, although there was nothing on her lips, Nami had some regrets in her heart.

Two disciples, plus the other disciple is a woman, doesn't this mean that the time to monopolize teacher Rifan will be reduced!?

Rifan looked at Nami strangely.

"Nami, the problem in the village of Cocoyashi has been solved, what are your plans for the future?"

"Plans?" Nami blinked.

"The Arlong Pirate group has been solved, and you won't have to go up to the sea to steal the pirates' treasures like before, so what kind of life do you plan to live in the future?"

"Yes, the Arlong pirates are gone, everyone is free, and I don't have to live like that anymore." Nami smiled and her heart was full of ease.

"Teacher Rifan, we have been together for more than a month, and I have never asked what kind of life you plan to live."

"I... of course, it is to teach a disciple like you." Rifan raised his hand and flicked Nami's forehead, ignoring her complaining expression, and said with a smile, "Originally, I was planning to cultivate you into a strong person on the sea before letting you leave my Dojo."

"As a result, you were in a hurry to solve the problem of the Arlong Pirate group, and I had to let you leave first."

"If you don't have any plans later, I'm going to continue training you until you can protect yourself from any harm."

"At least, when you plan to pursue your dreams, I can let you leave with peace of mind."

"On the sea, there are many powerful people, and I don't want to hear the news that my disciple has been killed by someone one day."

Hearing Rifan's words, Nami smiled slightly and said:

"That... if I was really killed, would you avenge me, teacher? "

"Yes, but ah... so what's the use? Rifan shook his head, "even if I help you avenge your hatred, you can't come back, can you?" Therefore, I still hope that you can train well, at least to the extent that others can't kill you. "

"Well, since teacher Rifan said so, for your sake, I'll reluctantly continue to train in the dojo hall, hehe."

Nami crossed her hands at her waist, with an expression that you earned it.

In this regard, Rifan just smiled and did not say anything.

"By the way, I almost forgot to ask, teacher Rifan, when did you build this Dojo hall?"

"And why is it exactly the same as the Dojo on that island?"

Nami asked curiously.

"This is the same dojo."

"It's just that I transferred the dojo here."

"What, am I not welcome?"

Rifan smiled.

"How could it be, of course, you are welcome." 

Hearing Rifan's words, Nami's eyes lit up.

It turned out that teacher Rifan said that he wanted me to solve the matter of the Arlong Pirate group by herself, but in fact, he had already come to Cocoyashi Village one step ahead.

If I really encounter any danger, teacher Rifan will definitely help out!

Really, teacher Rifan, you are really good to me.

While thinking in her heart, Nami's eyes looking at Rifan were full of touching light. 

'What is this stupid little girl thinking?' Rifan tilted his head and looked at Nami strangely.

"Oh, I almost forgot." Nami knocked on her head and playfully spat out her tongue, "Teacher Rifan, everyone in the village wants to see you, so let's go out to the banquet with me."

"I won't attend the banquet." Rifan shook his head, "I'll have something to do later, you go by yourself." 

"Really, it's just a little time to delay you, are you going to refuse such a lovely request from me?" With that, Nami directly wrapped her arms around Rifan's hand and tried to drag him out the door with force.

However, how could Nami's weak strength be compared to Rifan's?

Even with all her strength, she couldn't make Rifan move a step, but instead, it only made his clothes a little messy.

"Nami, you girl... sorry, I came at the wrong time."

Just then, Nojiko's high voice sounded outside the door.
