I'm a pirate on Star Iron.

As early as when Sambo was being beaten, Seele covered Hook's eyes with her hands.

If Hook were to witness that violent scene, it would undoubtedly be detrimental to the girl's development!

As Seele moved her hand away, Hook looked around again.

"Huh? Where's Uncle Sambo?"

After looking around, I found that Sambo, who was originally here, had disappeared.

This puzzled Hook.

"Sambo, he... he just left with someone he knows!"

"Someone who knows Uncle Sambo? Is he a friend of Uncle Sambo?"

It's exciting to see friends.

The Silvermane Iron Guard was excited to see Sangbo.

No matter how things change between friends, they will never forget each other.

No matter what Sambo looks like, the Silvermane Iron Guards will recognize him.

Therefore, Silvermane Iron Guard is essentially Sambo's friend!

After obtaining the formula, Seele nodded vigorously.

"That's right, he's probably Sambo's friend, right?"

"Wow, that's amazing! I never expected Uncle Sambo to know someone from the Upper District!"

At this moment, Hooker couldn't help but look on with admiration.

"Hook wants to get to know lots of people like Uncle Sambo in the future!"

No, I do hope you're different from Sambo.

The thought of Hook becoming a conman and swindler like Sambo sent a chill down Seele's spine.

It's best to limit Hook's contact with Sambo in the future!

After that, the group, led by Luffy, strolled around the upper district.

Just as Luffy brought Seele and Hook to the statue in the administrative district, he saw a familiar face.

"Isn't that Pella?"

Seeing Pera standing next to the statue, Ruf went up and greeted him.

"Ah! It's Mr. Luffy!"

Upon hearing someone call her name, Pera immediately turned to look at Luffy.

Her gaze finally settled on Hook, who was happily eating cotton candy next to Luffy.

"Is this child from the lower-level area?"

"Yeah, how do you know?"

Pera responded with a confident expression.

"I'm an intelligence officer for the Silvermane Iron Guard, so this kind of intelligence is a piece of cake!"

In fact, because Pera volunteers as a tour guide for children on weekends, she has basically met and knows the names of all the children in the upper district.

In contrast, Pella had absolutely no recollection of Hook.

In addition, Hook's clothing was rather simple, and his style seemed to be from the lower class, so Pera guessed it very easily.

"Is that lady next to you also from the lower-level area?"

Seeing that the topic had been turned to her, Seele frowned and said.

"Yes, what's the problem?"

Upon hearing this, Pera immediately offered an explanation.

"That's right. Because the upper and lower districts have been locked down for too long, the Silvermane Iron Guards are worried about the children's education in the lower districts. They plan to open a school for free to teach them, and they are currently collecting relevant information!"

"Is that so?"

There is indeed a big problem regarding what Pera said.

"How many children in the lower-level area have received education?"

At this moment, Pera asked Hiel.

"In that case, it's practically non-existent."

Seele seemed a little embarrassed when she said this.

After all, there were hardly any intellectuals left in the lower city.

The only one in Rocky Town who could be considered knowledgeable was probably Natasha.

However, she also has a clinic job and matters related to the fire.

Therefore, she was unable to find the time to tutor her child.

"Is that right?"

After noting down Seele's words, Pera turned her gaze to Hook.

Then he asked in a gentle tone.

"Little friend, do you have any thoughts about going to school?"

"Go to school? What's the point of that?"

Although he had heard of going to school before, Hooke wasn't really clear on what exactly it entailed.

Pera patiently explained this to Pella.

"It means playing and learning together with other kids your age!"

"Is that so? Then Hook needs to go to school!"

Hook had heard the adults in town say that going to school could change one's destiny.

She, Hook, wanted to go to school so that she and her father could live a better life!

"By the way, since you're going to start a school called Yin (Y7~) Six Arts $ Three II Longer School, can these ladies next to me enroll?"

Volume 1: Chapter 97 The Wonderful Adventure of Furibas

"What do you mean by that?!"

Upon hearing Luffy's words, Seele was immediately enraged.

Although she is indeed illiterate, was it necessary to say that in front of others?

Doesn't Xier have any pride?

"Ahem, of course, knowledge knows no age. If adults also want to come, we would be very happy to welcome them!"

Pera said to Ruf somewhat awkwardly.

"That's great, Hook!"

Luffy patted Hook's head and said with a congratulatory expression.

"From now on, your sister Xier will be your classmate!"

At this moment, Seele couldn't help but hate herself for not taking her scythe with her when she went out today.

There's no way around it, that thing can't carry the Yinqi Luying 3|-II=Jiuer cable car.

Otherwise, Seele would definitely show Luffy what it means to vanish with a butterfly!

"Then I'll be leaving now!"

At this moment, Pera also sensed that something was off!

To avoid getting blood splattered on herself, Pera immediately decided to make a run for it!

She's on holiday today, so she can't handle this...

"You really are something, saying all sorts of things to outsiders!"

After Pera left, Seele looked at Luffy with some dissatisfaction.

"So, will you be attending?"

"I'll probably still participate!"

Seele looked somewhat helpless when she said this.

In fact, even if Seele didn't want to learn, Oleg and Natasha would still force her to.

Even if you don't become a genius, you should at least be able to write some words that you use in daily life.

However, this was clearly a headache for Seele.

"Of course, if you don't want someone else to teach you, I can ask Bronya to take some time to tutor you."

"You mean Bronya?"

Upon hearing this, Seele refused without hesitation.

Just kidding, if I let her come, she'd find out I'm illiterate.

Just thinking about it makes Seele feel a little embarrassed.

"Why don't you teach me?"

"me?"

Seele felt that she would be more willing to be taught by Luffy than by Bronya.

"That might be a bit difficult?"

In fact, Luffy's ability to communicate with the people of Arillow was largely thanks to the synesthetic beacon.

It can automatically translate Arillow's text and language into language that Luffy can understand.

Without the synesthetic beacon, Luffy had no way to communicate with Seele and the others.

In other words, although Luffy can read and speak the language of Arillow VI, he is indeed unable to teach others.

"I'm sorry, there's really nothing I can do to help with this."

Luffy said to Seele with a hint of helplessness.

"I see!"

Seeing this, Seele resigned herself to her fate; at worst, she would just learn from Hook from now on!

"Alright, let's leave the future for later. Now, let's continue exploring the upper-level area."

"OK then!"

Upon hearing this, Seele had no choice but to temporarily forget about the matter and continue strolling around the upper-level shopping area with Hook.

Under Luffy's guidance, Seele and Hook had a pretty good day.

As darkness fell, Seele and Hook decided to return to the lower districts.

"Goodbye, Brother Luffy!"

After spending a day together, Hook and Luffy became quite familiar with each other.

"We're only playing for one day, how about we stay overnight and go back tomorrow?"

"No!"

Although Luffy's proposal was indeed good, Seele had already spoken with Hook's father and would bring Hook home that evening.

Hook's father was also worried if they stayed in the upper district like this.

Seeing this, Luffy took Hook and Seele back to the cable car station and watched them board the cable car.

Just as Seele and Hook boarded the cable car, two familiar figures of Luffy disembarked on the other side.

"Ruf, what are you doing here?"

Furibas and Yomi, who had just come down from the cable car, seemed somewhat surprised to see Luffy on the cable car platform.
