Starting with two Kamui, they raised the flag of rebellion in One Piece.

Li Mingyuan continued drinking.

Just as he said, as time went on, the headache began to lessen and his consciousness gradually became clearer.

Of course, in Nojiko's eyes, Li Mingyuan looked even more confused. At this point, it would be no exaggeration to say that he was completely drunk, and he was almost collapsing to the ground.

On the other side, Nami uses alcohol as a weapon in her battle, and her fight with Karina becomes increasingly intense.

Karina poured the same amount of water into Li Mingyuan's mouth as she had poured it into him. Finally, amidst cheers from the surrounding villagers, Karina, who had already drunk quite a bit, was the first to collapse.

His eyes darted around like mosquito coils, and he lay unconscious on the banquet table.

"belch!"

"Let's consider this a win for me, no objections, right?"

Nami said smugly, crossing her arms over her chest.

As expected, Karina, who was already in a deep sleep, was unable to respond to Nami.

After another hiccup, Nami finally had a chance to look around. She didn't know how long she and Karina had been drinking, and she had even eaten something to fill her stomach. Compared to when she first arrived, there were far fewer and fewer villagers around her who were still sober.

The vast majority of villagers are still walking arm in arm, drunk and fast asleep in the celebratory atmosphere.

It was now well past midnight.

Nami looked up at the sky, blinked, and said, "Has it gotten this late already?"

Nami, who had just realized what was happening, turned back to look at Li Mingyuan, only to find that Nojiko was carrying the drunken Li Mingyuan with a headache, not knowing whether to stand or sit, seemingly unsure of what to do.

Nami quickly went to Nojiko's side.

"Do you need any help?"

"Well, we can't just let our benefactor sleep on the floor, can we? Although everyone's just lying down anywhere to sleep these days..."

Nojiko chuckled. "Besides, you didn't hear what I was saying while you were drinking over there, but our benefactor seems to have something he wants to say to you privately."

"Me?"

Nami pointed to herself, looking somewhat confused.

I have no idea what Li Mingyuan wants to talk to me about in private. If it's the thank-you fee we talked about before, that matter has already been explained. All that's left is to give it to me along with the Arlong Pirates' treasure. There's nothing else to talk about in private. So, does Li Mingyuan want to ask me about Karina, or is there something else about the Arlong Pirates?

Many guesses flashed through Nami's mind, but she didn't show her thoughts on her face. She just nodded casually to Nojiko, "I understand. In that case, I'll carry Karina home first, and then we'll carry him away together. Let them stay at our house for the night."

Seeing that Nami had no objections, Nojiko breathed a sigh of relief and put Li Mingyuan, whom she had been carrying on her shoulder, back into her seat.

It would be quite strenuous for her to move Li Mingyuan, a big man, by herself.

In particular, Li Mingyuan's body is somewhat different from that of other normal people.

Although he doesn't look like the type with large muscles, but rather the lean and agile type, when Nojiko actually fought him, she found that Li Mingyuan was heavier than the average person, as if his body density was more solid. No wonder Li Mingyuan was able to defeat those fishmen. Contrary to his appearance, he was actually a kind of 'monster'.

"Phew! Tonight was so much fun!"

"Everyone had smiles on their faces; I haven't seen a scene like this in many years."

Noki leaned back in her chair, a faint smile on her face, gazing up at the starry sky. "The stars are so beautiful tonight."

Nami, standing beside Nojiko, left without hesitation, carrying Karina ahead of her. At this point, the only ones still sober were the drunkards still drinking around and Nojiko himself.

The scene was chaotic just now, and no one noticed Li Mingyuan. Only she had been drinking by Li Mingyuan's side the whole time, which is why she heard Li Mingyuan trying to talk to Nami. Moreover, she also discovered that even now, although Li Mingyuan had closed his eyes again, he was still not asleep.

"So, is your alcohol tolerance good or bad?"

Noki looked down at Li Mingyuan, who was resting on her lap, and said curiously, "Although no one else noticed, I did. Your eyes were still very bright until you said you were closing your eyes to rest for a while."

"You seem like you can't hold your liquor very well, but you can actually drink a lot... Could it be that you're actually a real alcoholic? Or are you just enjoying the feeling of being drunk?"

Li Mingyuan, lying on Nuoqi Gao's lap, did not reply.

Seeing this, Nokiko shook her head with a laugh and couldn't help but flick Li Mingyuan on the forehead.

"Alright, since you're pretending to be asleep even though you're not drunk, I guess you probably want to rest too, right? This banquet probably won't end until tomorrow, so I'll take you home for the night. But tomorrow, you must find somewhere else to rest. Don't let Nami's appearance fool you, she's actually quite perceptive."

"Also, I would like to thank you again for your contributions to this village."

"From your perspective, you may not have had any particular intention of saving anything when you went to fight the Arlong Pirates, but for those of us who have been oppressed by the Arlong Pirates, you can't imagine how deep our gratitude is."

Noki lowered her head and whispered in Li Mingyuan's ear, "The person who didn't reply is welcome to come to my and Nami's orange grove anytime to taste the fresh oranges if they want."

Having said that, Nojiko raised her head with satisfaction and looked again at the spot not far away.

She was humming some music, and seemed to be in a very good mood.

The melody floating in his ears was a tune Li Mingyuan had never heard before; it was most likely some kind of One Piece theme song.

Li Mingyuan, lying comfortably on Nojiko's lap, opened his eyes slightly. Just as Nojiko had said, he remained fully conscious. However, unlike what Nojiko had imagined, Li Mingyuan didn't not want to speak; he simply couldn't bring himself to do so.

After getting completely drunk again, Li Mingyuan felt great, but he also realized that his body was becoming uncontrollable due to the alcohol. If he wasn't careful, the world would spin before his eyes, and his body would stagger and fall randomly in eight directions.

In order to avoid sounding like a drunkard rambling in his upcoming conversation with Nami, he was trying to rest for a bit so that his complexion would be a little more normal and his speech wouldn't be too slurred.
