Chapter 39

That night marked the third banquet in the history of the Straw Hat Pirates, held on the deck.

The first time was when Logan joined the team.

The second time was when Zoro joined the group.

The third time was when Nami joined the group.

As the sun streamed through the windows into the cabin the next morning, Nami turned over, her rosy face bathed in warm sunshine.

"Hmm~~" With a soft snort, Nami opened her eyes.

The previous night's banquet had been a lively affair, with Logan graciously giving up his bed for Nami, while he took refuge in the studio.

Molding the pillow with her little white hand, Nami inhaled a fresh breath. "Even the pillow doesn't have any peculiar smell. Logan must take a shower every day!"

Thoughts of Logan brought a happy smile to Nami's face. What girl wouldn't appreciate a clean man? Nami herself was meticulous about cleanliness, even at sea, insisting on a daily bath when conditions allowed. Now, the man she admired shared her cleanliness habits, making her incredibly happy.

After rising, she folded the quilt and made a cup of warm milk, savoring the leisure and comfort she hadn't dreamed of for many years.

In the studio, Logan was already immersed in his manga. Despite the late night, his well-established biological clock ensured he woke up on time.

After a while, the studio door opened.

"Hee hee~~"

Nami's little head poked through the open door.

"Are you still used to my bed?" she asked, looking up at Logan with a smile.

"Well, it's so comfortable that I want to sleep in your bed every day," Logan replied with a grin.

Nami stepped in with her hands behind her back. When she reached the table, she took out a glass of milk and handed it to Logan. "Here you are."

"Oh~? To please me?" Logan took the milk, smiling jokingly.

"Well, sort of." Nami squatted down, laying her arms on the table, with her little head resting on them and a sweet smile on her face.

"Since it's for flattery, then there must be some idea~?" Logan teased after finishing the glass of milk.

"I don't know~" Nami shook her head.

"Then let me guess~" Logan put on a thoughtful look and said, "Do you want to read Mangas?"

The mention of Mangas caught Nami off guard. She recalled that the pirates in this group, including Luffy and Zoro, had a fondness for reading Mangas. Nami's opportunity to steal money from Logan's room had arisen because Luffy and Zoro were preoccupied with Mangas.

As this realization hit her, Nami couldn't help but feel a twinge of fear in her heart. If she had succeeded in stealing the money, it would have been the biggest mistake of her life. Thankfully, Logan intervened in time.

At that moment, she appreciated how he prevented her from making a choice she would have regretted. Coming to Logan's studio now, she had no particular purpose. Bringing him a glass of milk, she simply wanted to spend time with him. That's all.

After Logan's suggestion, Nami became intrigued by the world of Mangas.

"What an attractive storyline is in the manga that can fascinate those two guys?" she pondered.

Upon being asked by Logan if she wanted to read Mangas, Nami nodded and said, "Well, you guessed it"

"I knew it" Logan smiled, tapping Nami's cute nose lightly. "You can read all the Mangas on the shelf; choose one you like."

"Great." Nami enjoyed the playful interaction with Logan, feeling a kind of first love excitement.

As she perused the bookshelf, Nami saw a wide variety of Mangas. However, as a girl, she found herself drawn to stories where girls were the protagonists. After flipping through for a while, a manga caught her attention: Cardcaptor Sakura.

"Such a cute and lovely heroine" Picking up the manga, Nami leaned against the bookshelf to start reading.

Logan glanced at Nami but continued working on his manga without saying anything. He appreciated the quiet atmosphere when he worked. While he would have thrown out Luffy and Zoro without hesitation if they were reading Mangas here, he had no issue with Nami enjoying her time.

Who could possibly dislike a girl as beautiful as Nami? Taking breaks from his work to admire her was not a bad idea—it not only gave his eyes a rest but also added a touch of beauty to the studio.

On Nami's side, engrossed in the first episode of Cardcaptor Sakura, she was captivated by the two adorable characters, Sakura and Tomoyo. "What a cute girl! Huh? The cards in this book actually have such magical abilities?"

I'm so envious of little Sakura~

If I could have these cards, the villains of the Arlong Pirates wouldn't be able to persecute the civilians of the Conami Islands.

It's a pity that this is just the world in the Mangas~

While lost in these thoughts, Nami suddenly felt the surroundings change~~

Ah~?

She subconsciously looked around~

Nani! ! ?

This...

This, this, this...

Isn't this Sakura Kinomoto's father's study?

What happened?

Am I dreaming?

Nami reached out to touch the bookshelf beside her.

What!

This touch...

It's real! ! !

Wait~~~

If this is Sakura Kinomoto's father's study..., wouldn't it be...?

I promised Logan not to steal anymore, but stealing things from the manga world... 

Thinking of this, Nami quickly walked around the two bookshelves, carefully checking the one next to the wall.

Finally, when her fingers touched a certain book in the middle~

Hum!

Golden light shone on this book!
