Chapter 155 - 13

Chapter 13Then he saw the characters appearing in front of him.[After hard study, your medical knowledge has increased. Experience +3.][After super-intensity will stimulation and potential squeezing, your brainpower has significantly increased, achieving a qualitative breakthrough and activating the passive talent: [Photographic Memory].]"Significantly increased?"Luffy blinked, instinctively feeling a hint of indignation. "What does that mean? Was I stupid before?"However, this bit of annoyance was immediately dispelled by the surprise brought by the new talent.[Photographic Memory]?Whatever, as long as it works!He turned his gaze back to the books.This time, there was no painful ordeal. The moment his eyes swept across, the text was no longer symbols that required effort to identify; they seemed to have a life of their own, automatically arranging and combining. The core content was instantly branded into his mind like a hot iron.Symptoms, medicine names, countermeasures... everything was crystal clear."Simple, so simple, hee hee hee..."Luffy unconsciously started giggling.For some reason, he just wanted to laugh.Creak—At that moment, the door was gently pushed open.Nami frowned, carefully carrying a steaming large pot inside. The strong aroma of meat instantly filled the entire room.It was a stew she had made with the last few pieces of Sea Beast Meat in the fridge. She thought this idiot Captain might be starving crazy, so she'd show some kindness and let him eat a bit before he continued to pretend."Hey, that's enough..."Her words got stuck in her throat.Luffy's performance before her eyes was too unscientific. Was he finding joy in hardship? Or had he really gone mad?This isn't scientific!She knew exactly what expression had been on Luffy's face at first.It was just like her own struggle when she didn't want to study as a kid.Now he was actually laughing; if it were just that, Nami would think Luffy was a bit crazy.But the speed at which he flipped the pages was ridiculously fast!No, no way."Could he have remembered everything?""Are you kidding me? Does he really have a Photographic Memory?"Even if you're faking being serious, you don't have to fake it this ridiculously. At this flipping speed, even a dog couldn't see the words clearly!The various labels on Luffy could be seen at a glance.[Heartless Rubber Idiot][All brawn and no brains][Afraid of hunger and boredom but not afraid of studying]...It was Nami's first time seeing someone study while laughing.Wait, if this continues, I'll be the one crying!"Nami, you came at the right time!"Luffy suddenly stood up, closed the book, met Nami's panicked gaze, and grinned."I'm done."Chapter 14: Let you sleep for a bit?Luffy had always been incredibly confident; it's just that these two days of constantly breaking limits caused his threshold to keep changing.Finishing a whole book gave him a full sense of achievement, and most importantly, he definitely won the bet!Nami's mind was in a mess for a moment.Real or fake?Anyway, he didn't look like he was faking.Nami asked some questions with a hint of expectation, and as a result, Luffy answered them fluently.He really wasn't faking!Nami felt like the sky was falling."Eh, it's a simple thing; you can do it too." Luffywaved his hand at Nami, his face full of a smug smile.Clenching her fist and suppressing the urge to punch him in the face, Nami set the pot down with a clang, a smile forced onto her face. "Fine, I'll count it as your win.""Then I won the bet!""Let me say this first: I have no money, only my life!" Nami said through gritted teeth.No one could make her spit out the money already in her pocket!"Eh, then what about my ten million Berries?""I'll... I'll give you one more request. One request from me is much more expensive than ten million Berries," Nami said somewhat guiltily."Well, okay then... let me sleep first."While talking, Luffy had already inhaled the pot of soup and rice like a storm, then squinted his eyes and fell asleep.[Prompt: It is now rest time...]Unknowingly, it was already twelve o'clock.Another day."Let you sleep?"Nami's voice gradually became sharp, arms crossed; she knew Luffy had bad intentions!Zzz...Zzz...The sound of Luffy snoring rang out; Nami looked down and realized he had already fallen asleep.Just literally sleeping?The expression on Nami's face was ever-changing; it turned out she had misunderstood.Wait, why did you fall asleep in my room?Get up!Despite saying that, Nami eventually helped Luffyby setting up a floor bed in her room and tossing him onto it....The next morning.Zoro sat cross-legged at the top of the lookout tower, brow furrowed in meditation.The morning sea breeze carried a salty, damp scent, which should have been refreshing, but he felt something was off everywhere.Because it was too quiet!This silence didn't refer to the sound of the waves, but the lack of noise on the deck from a certain Rubber idiot.Having gotten used to Luffy's early morning training for two consecutive days, this sudden silence made Zoro, who was accustomed to high-intensity cultivation, feel uncomfortable.Did that guy only last for two days?Zoro muttered to himself, his hands still moving a large dumbbell up and down; this should be the normal phenomenon, as Luffy had been acting like his life didn't matter the previous two days.Speaking of which, Luffy didn't return to the dormitory he shared with Usopp last night; could that guy...Zoro's gaze drifted as if by ghost or god toward the closed door of the navigator's room.Sigh, women really are like jackals and tigers.Just then, the corner of Zoro's eye caught an increasingly clear green dot on the horizon.He immediately reined in his stray thoughts, rubbed his eyes hard, and looked closely; the ship's unique fish-shaped silhouette was already faintly discernible."Hey, people below!"Zoro leaned out and shouted at the deck, "Wake up, I see a ship, the Sea Restaurant Baratie is here!"Zoro's shout woke everyone up.The deck hatch slammed open, and Usopp ran out excitedly, followed by Johnny and Joseph who had been woken up."Now we can have a good meal.""It hasn't been easy; let's find a chef quickly."Their shouting sounded particularly piercing in the quiet morning."What... what's the noise!""It's early morning, can't you let people sleep!"Two complaints, clearly thick with sleepiness and annoyance at being disturbed, rang out almost simultaneously.The door to Nami's room was suddenly pulled open, and Nami, with hair as messy as a bird's nest, walked out rubbing her eyes.That was nothing.Instead, Luffy followed her out, also rubbing his eyes, yawning, and looking confused!Although it wasn't as exaggerated as being disheveled, their actions were extremely synchronized, and their sleepy eyes clearly showed they had just woken up from the same private space.Oho~"Sorry, Big Sis Nami!"Nami instantly woke up.Seeing the "I get it" expressions on the faces of Usopp and the others, her cheeks instantly flushed red."Wait, what's with those expressions!""It's a misunderstanding, this is a misunderstanding!""This idiot was so tired he fell asleep in my room."The more she explained, the messier it got.Luffy looked relaxed and at ease.[Prompt: The Pirate King cannot be a one-man army; powerful companions are a must. Today's half-day is Companion Day, please engage in recruitment activities.]Luffy gave a big stretch, his bones cracking, his face overflowing with the joy of rebirth, completely ignoring the strange atmosphere around him.He had woken up at one o'clock.Biological clock habits are scary.He fell back asleep less than three seconds after seeing the new characters.He loved this Companion Day!Usopp suppressed his laughter and approached Luffy, who was still happily twisting his neck. Just as he was about to say something, he fanned his hand in front of his nose: "Hey, Luffy, is there a smell on you?"[A good image is an important indicator for recruiting companions. Please wash up immediately. Tasks have been assigned based on real-time physical conditions, countdown five minutes...]"I'll go take a shower first!" Luffy muttered that it was a hassle, but his body moved faster than his brain, and he dashed toward the washroom with a "whoosh."Everyone: "..."Just after washing up, a high-spirited Luffy hopped back onto the deck.Zoro was already directing Usopp and Johnny to adjust the sails, preparing to approach the Sea Restaurant Baratie.
