Luffy, how can you become the Pirate King if you don't work hard!

"Monkey D. Luffy." The Five Elders, holding the First Generation Kitetsu, uttered the name with a hint of solemnity in their voices. "The D. Clan also possesses that fruit whose name we have kept hidden for hundreds of years."

"This photo must not be circulated."

The blond Five Elders said decisively, "We have already used our authority to issue bounty notices all over the world, using photos of him in his normal state. Nika's form and name must be concealed."

"The will of D, the legendary nemesis of the gods, and the Nika Fruit, which symbolizes liberation and freedom and is named after the sun god, have now converged in one person." The Five Elders, with a birthmark on their foreheads, spoke in a deep voice, "The danger this person poses cannot be ignored by us in the slightest."

"Most pirates are impulsive and reckless guys who don't care about the consequences."

The white-haired elder pondered, "Could it be that the fruit that possesses its own will was drawn to this very quality in this kid?"

"No matter what, we must pay the highest level of attention to this group." The Five Elders, wearing flat caps, concluded, his eyes sharp as eagles. "The appearance of the Nika Fruit, especially in this awakened form, will have a huge impact on the foundation of the World Government's rule."

Especially in the current context.

There may be contact between two of the Four Emperors, the position of Shichibukai is vacant, and Enies Lobby has been openly destroyed...

A brief silence fell between those in power.

Chapter 215 You're Not Allowed to Move!

Why aren't you resting?

The girl's voice rang in my ears.

Nami looked at Luffy standing to the side.

On the deck, the people who had just finished the battle and then the tense escape were exhausted and lay scattered about, their snores rising and falling slightly.

After a day, they finally escaped Kapna's relentless pursuit, and everyone was exhausted.

Under the cover of the pre-dawn darkness and the occasional breeze summoned by Vivi, the Going Merry was secretly sailing towards Water Seven. With the earth-shattering events of Enies Lobby underway, the World Government was undoubtedly watching them closely, but with no new ship in sight, Water Seven was a place they had to risk returning to.

Vivi was one of the most exhausted, having been continuously using the power of the Wind-Wind Fruit to aid in navigation. Her face was somewhat pale, and she was currently snuggling up to Robin, fast asleep against the ship's railing.

Although Robin's physical strength was not as depleted as Vivi's, the experience at Enies Lobby, facing the coercion of CP9, her inner struggle, and her resolute decision to declare war on the World Government left her exhausted and unable to recover for a while.

The two women leaned their heads against each other, their jet-black and azure hair gently intertwined, as if supporting each other in their dreams. Nami tiptoed over and put a coat over them, afraid that the night dew would be too cold.

The others looked much the same. Zoro, clutching his sword, leaned against the mast base, his head bobbing slightly, yet maintaining a certain alertness. Sanji was asleep by the kitchen door, while Usopp and Chopper were sprawled undignifiedly in the middle of the deck. Chopper's little hooves twitched occasionally, as if he were still running in his dreams.

But Luffy didn't.

He was doing sit-ups in an empty space on the deck, fine beads of sweat appearing on his forehead, but his breathing remained steady and strong.

"We can't rest at all."

Upon hearing the sound, Luffy didn't stop moving, his gaze falling on Nami. "You must be tired too. Let me keep watch."

He felt that the day he could finally rest would be when he became the Pirate King.

Anyway, it will definitely be a long time without any peace and quiet.

Nami walked to his side, the soft light perfectly outlining the girl's figure.

Her soft orange hair hung down her forehead, and a small ponytail was casually tied at the back of her head, with a few strands playfully sticking to her cheeks.

She wore a white fitted short-sleeved top that outlined her developing curves, and gray shorts that revealed a small section of her shapely, fair calves. She exuded youthful energy, yet also carried a hint of resilience that came with experience.

How could this not be worrying? After the great battle, Luffy was probably the most exhausted person in the entire fight.

But Luffy like this really gives people a very reliable feeling.

"Hmph, you're just showing off."

Nami brushed a strand of hair that had been blown across her forehead by the sea breeze behind her ear, looked down at Luffy who was still struggling, and said in a tone that was a little helpless but also contained a little bit of concern, "But if you keep doing this, you'll go bad."

She didn't dislike Luffy's hard work and self-discipline; in fact, she found him exceptionally charming.

"It's okay, I'm physically resilient."

Luffy exhaled.

“When I was little, my grandfather used to train me. Every few days, he would throw me into the forest, tie a balloon to it, and throw me into the sky. He said my vitality was like that of a cockroach.”

Nami finally understood where Luffy's vigorous vitality came from.

"This is different too."

As she spoke, Nami bent down and squatted prettily in front of him, reaching out her hand as if to stop him from continuing to torment her.

I'm talking to you~

She drew out her words, with a hint of coquettishness that she herself was unaware of, "Now we can do something relaxing, shall we?"

She recalled seeing Robin let Luffy rest his head on her knees while studying, and seemed to understand Luffy's unique way of learning.

There are exercises like this, and there are also various theoretical studies.

I just don't let myself stop for a moment.

Luffy slowed his movements slightly and asked with some confusion, "For example?"

He certainly had a lot of grievances to vent.

The moment after the great battle, he had to devote himself to cultivation; they practically treated him like a robot.

However, his fierce battle with Aokiji and Garp's pursuit made him clearly aware of the gap between himself and the top powerhouses.

Because he wasn't strong enough, he was chased so badly. So, in order to truly protect his companions next time instead of just escaping by chance, he must seize every minute and second to become stronger.

The system's tasks and punishments are one aspect, but at this moment, his own burning desire to become stronger is even more important.

"There are other ways too."

Nami didn't think her words sounded resentful; instead, she found them rather cute, hoping they would make him stop. "For example, when Robin gave me a lap pillow before, wasn't I able to learn from her?"

She blinked, the implication clear.

"It is possible."

Before Luffy could finish speaking, Nami sat down and patted her shapely legs, which were pressed together and covered by her gray shorts, gesturing for him to lie down on her.

Luffy blinked, seemingly a little surprised, but he still readily stopped doing sit-ups, moved his body, and rested his head on Nami's soft and elastic thighs.

"If you can do it, then stop with the nonsense."

Nami glanced down at him, her face slightly flushed. She forced herself to remain calm, feeling the heavy weight on her legs and the warm breath emanating from the boy. Her heart involuntarily quickened.

"Nami, when did you become so domineering?" Luffy looked up at Nami's face, which was so close to his, and said with a smile.

From this angle, Nami's chin has a beautiful line, and her orange eyes appear exceptionally clear in the light.

"Hmph,"

Nami seemed to enjoy Luffy's praise, her eyes crinkling with a hint of pride. "I've always been like this."

"Then let's begin."

As Luffy spoke, he tilted his head and unconsciously rubbed his cheek against Nami's leg, his warm breath brushing against the small section of Nami's thigh exposed outside her shorts.

"!"

Nami's face instantly turned bright red, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. She quickly reached out and straightened his face, her voice tinged with panic: "Don't move!"

The sensation was itchy, an itch that went right to my heart.

"Then do you want me to watch over you?"

Luffy was quite obedient and stopped moving around, but his eyes were fixed on Nami.

Stared at by his intense gaze, Nami involuntarily shrank back, her gaze shifting slightly, yet she couldn't help but glance at him quickly, her eyes sparkling, her face still flushed. She muttered softly, "Well, it's not impossible."

Luffy laughed and stopped teasing her.

Since the physical training time scheduled by the system in the daily plan has just ended, now is the time to learn about navigation with Nami.

Chapter 216 No More Pinching

Luffy can multitask, discussing knowledge with Nami in this relaxed manner while reviewing the previous battle in his mind and thinking about the use of Haki.

This can be considered a rest in some ways.

Luffy felt a pang of sadness.

So Luffy started asking questions about the nautical meteorology he had learned, or sharing some of his wild ideas.

Nami was able to answer seriously at first, but with Luffy staring at her and feeling the weight and warmth of him resting on her lap, her cheeks remained flushed and her thoughts became somewhat sluggish.

Bored, Luffy secretly grabbed Nami's hand that was beside him and started playing with it, which could be considered multitasking in a way.

Nami's hand trembled slightly, and she instinctively tried to pull it back, but Luffy gripped it even tighter.

She struggled for a moment, but couldn't break free. She simply looked away, pretending to gaze at the distant horizon, and said in a muffled voice:

"you."

"What's wrong with me?"

Someone asked shamelessly, his fingers unconsciously stroking the back of Nami's hand, finding the delicate touch quite comfortable.

This kind of relaxation is addictive.

But Nami offered it to her willingly.

Free stuff is wonderful.

Nami felt a tingling, electric shock-like sensation on the back of her hand, and her heart was pounding so hard it felt like it was going to burst out of her chest.

She didn't say anything more, her gaze fixed elsewhere, her ears turning bright red. After a long while, she protested in an almost inaudible voice, "Stop pinching me like that."

Humans have a rebellious streak.

You don't want me to do it, but I'll do it anyway.

Luffy held Nami's hand with one hand, and he wasn't exactly behaving himself. He would occasionally squeeze her soft palm or gently run his fingers between her fingers.
