Chapter 147 - 5

Chapter 5Prostrate Worship.Luffy was currently looking at the notes Nami had briefly summarized, and he was being tortured to the point of dizziness.It was very hard to remember.He was completely forcing these words into his brain, but the effect was not significant; it was all torture."The most important thing about reading memory is to memorize while reading," Nami said."Huh?" Luffy didn't react immediately."Speak louder. If you want to learn, learn the basic knowledge well first."Nami comforted herself with the thought of teaching someone to the end, looking at Luffy as if she were seeing her past self."Nami, learning is a very hard thing; you must persevere.""So you have to choose something you like to do, otherwise there's no motivation, and it will only feel boring.""Can't remember? Haha, you really want to sleep, don't you? I was like that at the Marine Academytoo, so I just became a combatant.""So beautiful! Is this a navigation chart Nami drew? You will definitely become an excellent navigator in the future."Belle-Mere, I didn't become a Marine navigator, but instead became the pirate you hated the most."Remember the depth points and isobaths. The most important thing for a navigation chart is to draw navigational aids and mark terrain and facilities."Nami propped up her chin, looked at Luffy, and asked, "What is your goal in learning this navigation knowledge? Is it just out of boredom?""No, I'm doing it to become the Pirate King!"Luffy clenched his fist.Nami curled her lip.With her, the best navigator, around, what business did Luffy have with it?Wait... Nami's mind stirred slightly.She was still very sensitive to these matters, especially at this critical time."Why do you suddenly want to learn navigation knowledge?"Nami stopped her explanation and crossed her arms. "Are you worried about something?""Wor—worried?" Luffy looked up blankly.Nami sneered, but the smile didn't reach her eyes. "I think you're afraid I'll run away and there will be no one to navigate for you idiot pirates, so you're trying to cram at the last minute, right?""How could that be? Comrades are meant to be trusted. Nami, you are a comrade I've acknowledged."Luffy laughed. "You're the navigator of our Straw Hat crew!""What do you mean 'ours'? Who said I'm definitely yours?" Nami's heart skipped a beat, and her throat felt a bit dry.That was why she really didn't want to get involved with anyone.Just like Carina.Nami was destined to be a loner; anyone who got involved with her would be unfortunate.She couldn't quite understand Luffy's way of thinking. They hadn't known each other for long, yet he trusted her so much?He didn't even object when she said she would keep the treasure in the warehouse.Is he really a pirate?Nami stared at Luffy for a while.If it were him, could he help her drive Arlongs Crew out?Thinking of certain things, Nami's voice lowered a few notches. "You make it sound so simple. It's common for pirates to break up. Why are you so sure I'll stay? What if I never intended to stay forever when I first joined? What if I have a reason I must leave?""A reason you must leave?"Luffy frowned deeply, his Rubber face scrunched into a ball.Right now, Luffy's straightforward way of thinking completely failed to understand the meaning behind Nami's words.However, study time was finally over!"Why would there be such a reason? If there's a reason, just say it and solve it! Aren't comrades meant to help each other?"Luffy stood up with a serious expression.Nami felt her mouth go dry and subconsciously said, "Then can you help me..."Just then, with a creak, a corner of the cloth covering the table that Luffy had accidentally bumped earlier slipped off.A face-down wooden photo frame was revealed."Eh, what's this?"Luffy's attention was immediately diverted.He had always felt that this covered photo frame in Nami's room seemed very out of place.Before Nami could react, his hand had already reached out and instinctively flipped the photo frame over.The photo showed three people with bright smiles.One was a little Nami with two small pigtails and a round face.Beside her was a slightly older girl with short blue hair.Standing in the middle, with both of them clutching her arms, was a woman in a Marine uniform with a sunny, gentle temperament, laughing heartily.Luffy hadn't reacted yet.Nami snatched the photo frame away!Then, Luffy saw a face that instantly drained of all color."Nami, what's wrong with you?"Even as dense as Luffy was, he could sense Namiwas angry. He was flustered, and at that moment, that dreaded voice rang out again.Sleep for an hour, eat for a minute—how much time could there be for a break?Nami's body shook uncontrollably, her teeth biting hard into her lower lip, even drawing a faint, metallic taste of blood."Get out!""Eh, Nami..."Luffy was startled by her sudden intense reaction and subconsciously took a step back."Sorry, I'm not in the mood to teach you right now. Can you let me be alone for a bit?"Nami took a deep breath and slammed the photo frame face-down again with one hand.Luffy scratched his head, completely unable to figure out what had happened.Are women that hard to understand?Luffy was full of confusion, but he knew something must be going on with Nami.The problem was that there was no time now.BANG—!The door was slammed shut behind him, making the entire cabin wall hum."Nami! We're comrades..."Inside the room, Nami leaned her back against the cold door and slowly slid down to sit on the floor.She could no longer hear any sounds from outside.For her, the only place she could cry was her own room... which clearly wasn't this room.On the deck, Usopp was fiddling with a cannon, aiming it at the vast, distant sea.Then he heard a sound and looked back."Did you only just get kicked out this late?"Usopp stopped aiming and looked at Luffy. "What happened?""Nami is in a bad mood."The life-ending voice came to Luffy's ears; he had no time to chat with Usopp.Before, he would have had the time and mind to play with Usopp.Like sticking a pair of chopsticks in his nostrils and dancing a strange dance with a dustpan.Because his study time with Usopp had conflicted with Nami's.Luffy was now thinking about developing his fruit ability.The Gum-Gum Fruit could develop many messy skills, like Slingshot, Whip, Battle Axe, Rocket...Luffy had thought of everything he could think of.What else was there?He asked casually, "Usopp, what do you want to do when you become a pirate?"Usopp smiled and put his hands on his hips."I want to become a brave warrior of the sea! Then go to the Land of Giants to see the strongest race in the world..."Giants?Luffy's eyes suddenly lit up.Right, he looked down at his fist.Chapter 5: I Don't Want to Be Looked at by Namiwith Eyes Like She's Looking at Trash Either[pirate king training plan Day 2.][Automatically adjusting based on physical condition. Half an hour of sleep achieved. Please wake up immediately for morning exercise... Countdown: thirty seconds.]Not long after midnight, the warning voice rang in his ears.Luffy really wanted to go to Nami's room now, wake her up, and ask her exactly what time morning exercise was supposed to be.When he was studying theoretical knowledge with Nami yesterday, the materials seemed to have mentioned descriptions of specific time periods.Of course, the consequences of doing that would be very serious.Luffy's fist tightened.At this time, even the training fanatic Zoro had only just finished showering and was lying in bed."So wicked."Habit is a very scary thing.Luffy got out of bed, walked out of the room, and went to the deck.Life is like... if you can't resist it, then silently enjoy it.Faced with Garp's oppression, Luffy had gradually become accustomed to it.Now this voice was just like Garp's fist. When facing his grandfather, Luffy could still resist and talk back a bit, but he couldn't resist this voice at all.Squatting on the toilet was the least of it.Luffy didn't dare to easily try its punishment of social death, no matter how thick-skinned he was.He didn't want his comrades to call him 'Jet Warrior' or 'Multiple Times a Day Man' in the future.The Moonlight barely illuminated the deck, and the sea breeze carried a chill.Luffy stood in the middle of the deck, hands tightly gripping the barbell bar.This was the simplest physical exercise; he had experienced it long ago with Garp."Nine hundred and ninety-seven... nine hundred and ninety-eight...""That's enough, I really want to fight."Luffy felt this physical training was too boring. Which Pirate King spends every day cooped up on a ship training?Don't they all rise to the top through battles with pirates and Marines?
