028 Tonight, I'm Ready!

The night grew dark in Cocoyasi Village.

The heads of over a hundred fishmen were strung up and hung in the streets.

The villagers of Cocoyasi Village spontaneously gathered to watch.

When they saw the faces of their enemies, they clapped and cheered.

Even a boy of about ten years old cried with tears streaming down his face and shouted,

"Arlong! Mom, that's Arlong's head! He's the one who killed Dad!"

"Fishmen, they're all fishmen!"

"That's Chew, I recognize his face!"

"That damn Kuroobi, he came to collect money a few months ago!"

"And that octopus, he's dead too, good riddance! The Sea Kings he raised once swallowed a fisherman and his boat in one bite!! Damn, they all deserve to die!"

"Good riddance! Good riddance! Good riddance!"

Some people cried with excitement, some clapped their hands until they were swollen, and some even wished to eat their flesh.

In an atmosphere that was both joyful and sorrowful,

Luffy, accompanied by DiLuma, walked up to the crowd.

"Cocoyasi Village villagers, my name is Luffy."

As he spoke, he threw the last head in his hand in front of the villagers.

This is a human.

The villagers stared at the head and gradually quieted down.

"He is the 16th Branch Captain of East Blue, Marine Colonel Mouse. He colluded with the Arlong Pirates, accepted bribes from Arlong, and covered up everything here."

"It can be said that he is one of the root causes of your eight years of suffering. Now, I have taken this head for you. The Arlong Pirates have also been completely wiped out, and the heads of all the fishmen are behind me."

"You... your suffering has come to an end. Tomorrow will be a new beginning, so celebrate!"

After listening to these words, the villagers shouted excitedly,

"Long live Luffy san!"

"Luffy san, you are the hero of our Cocoyasi Village!"

"No, you are the son-in-law of our Cocoyasi Village!"

"Wait a minute? What does son-in-law mean?"

"Huh? You don't know? Luffy was brought here by Nami. That girl fell in love with Luffy at sea!"

"I see, so that's why Luffy came from afar..."

"Wow, how romantic!"

"I heard they are getting married soon, is that true, Luffy? Please let me have a drink at the wedding!"

"No, no, I heard they are already married and have children."

The atmosphere suddenly changed, becoming chaotic.

Listening to the increasingly absurd remarks, Luffy couldn't help but twitch his mouth.

How did this rumor spread?

Who did it?

"Hahaha~"

Beside a house on the street, nojiko leaned against the wall, laughing so hard her stomach hurt.

It wasn't her doing, she just told everyone about Luffy and Nami's relationship.

In fact, as an older sister, she was more curious about the story between these two.

Luffy didn't bother to explain the increasingly absurd rumors to the villagers and announced publicly,

"Don't thank me, I only did a small job. The other hero of this operation is this person by my side! He is Captain DiLuma of Marine Branch 153."

After saying that, he quickly left.

Looking at the countless pairs of eyes focused on him, DiLuma took a deep breath and said,

"I'm very sorry, villagers of Cocoyasi Village. Luffy said that I, as a member of Branch 153, am another hero, but I can't bear that title. Half a month ago, I also..."

He began to tell the story, starting with the incident involving Vice Admiral Mocha.

He felt it was necessary to spread the deeds of the Straw Hat Crew.

...

"Speaking of which, where did Nami go?"

Luffy stood on the rooftop of a building, activating his Observation Haki, but he couldn't find Nami in the crowd.

Looking at Zoro beside him, the green-haired swordsman was lying on a pile of tiles, drinking alone.

"As for Nami, she went back to the Sunny," he said, unable to help but laugh, "What's your child's name? Hahaha!"

"Starting tomorrow, I'm going to announce a ban on alcohol on the ship!"

"Stop it! Are you a demon!?" Zoro, with his shark-like mouth, retorted.

Not bothering with the drunkard, Luffy leaped towards the Sunny.

Back on the deck, his Observation Haki immediately detected the presence of two people.

"In the large bathroom?"

The library, the measurement room, and the upper-level bathroom on the Sunny were all connected.

Located below the platform at the stern of the ship.

"It seems like nothing's wrong."

After confirming that Nami's presence was normal, Luffy walked to the upper-level platform. As he stepped over the stairs, the sound of his footsteps seemed to enter the large bathroom below.

"Who is it?" Nami's cautious voice sounded.

"It's me."

"Luffy!" Her voice became joyful.

Luffy sat on the ship's edge, blowing the evening sea breeze, and smiled.

"Are you taking a bath? I'm coming in."

"Come in, but it'll cost you 100,000 berries~" Nami replied with a smile, even somewhat provocatively.

"No!"

Inside the bathroom, Kaya blushed and hurriedly stopped.

"I-I'm inside, Mr. Luffy."

"Don't worry, he won't do anything like that."

"Is... that so?"

After that, their voices became quieter, as if intentionally avoiding him, whispering something.

Luffy shook his head. This girl was becoming more and more arrogant for no reason. He needed to find an opportunity to teach her a lesson.

"With the issue in Cocoyasi Village resolved, we need to prepare for entering the Grand Line."

While contemplating their next move, he blew the comfortable sea breeze.

After who knows how long, the door to the lower cabin opened, and Nami and Kaya, who had finished bathing, walked out together.

"Luffy."

"Mr. Luffy."

The two greeted him.

Luffy turned around and looked at the two women. Seeing that they were dressed neatly, he asked, "Are you going out?"

"I'm taking Kaya to see a doctor. The doctor in the village is very skilled and might have some understanding of Kaya's condition," Nami nodded.

Luffy didn't think it was necessary.

Once they reached Drum Island, Kaya's illness would naturally be resolved.

However, considering Nami's good intentions, he didn't say much.

A few hours later, the moon gradually rose in the sky.

"Aren't you going to the banquet?"

Luffy turned around and saw that Nami had returned alone. "I don't like the noise, there are too many people. What about Kaya?"

"Kaya is still at the hospital."

Nami smiled and approached, taking the initiative to hug Luffy, her eyes gentle as if they could drip water.

"Luffy."

"What's wrong?"

"Tonight, I'm ready~"
