66: Chapter 66 The Calm Before the StormAlthough Nami and the others were embarrassed by Garp's words and left, they didn't go too far.After all, they were reluctant to part with Luffy and wanted to see him one more time before they left.
Wang Luffy also boarded the ship with the main group, but he was free to move around after boarding.
Because of Wang Luffy's excellent Observation Haki, Ain assigned him to the reconnaissance team.He doesn't have to do anything except occasionally come out to keep watch.
So Luffy, who was on the deck, saw Nami and the others again.The group just stared at each other until the ship sailed out of Marineford and disappeared into the sea.
After losing sight of Luffy, Nami and the others silently wished him a safe journey and a speedy return before going to train with Momousagi and Granny Tsuru.
Wang Luffy was also somewhat lost in thought after the ship sailed away from Marineford.He looked up at the sky to clear his mind.
At this moment, Ain, who had settled the new recruits in their rooms, came out of the cabin and noticed Wang Luffy's unusual behavior.
So she quietly walked up behind him, peeked out and rested her head on Wang Lufei's shoulder, and said in a sinister tone, "Are you alright?"
Lost in thought, Wang Luffy didn't notice the head on his shoulder.He jumped forward three meters and shouted, "What the fuck!"
Ayn asked, somewhat puzzled, "Who is Wang Defa?Why are you calling him that?"
Upon seeing it was Ain, Wang Lufei explained irritably, "It's a particle used in some countries to express surprise.And why aren't you assigning tasks to the new recruits?Why are you running after me?"
Ain replied, "I see, I've learned something.As for assigning new recruits, aren't you a new recruit yourself?In that case, Luffy, the new recruit, I now order you to be happy."
Then Ain chuckled and said, "Alright, I saw you were distracted after leaving the port, so I wanted to tease you, but who knew you were so easily frightened.Sorry."
Wang Lufei also felt Ain's kindness and said, "Thank you, Sister Ain.I feel much better now.And I have a special way to relieve my sadness."
Ain asked curiously, "What method?Could it be.No, we can't be all lovey-dovey right now.(Da mei yo, da mei, da mei~)"
Then Wang Lufei dragged Ain to the gym to lift weights.Ain sat on the gym equipment with an incredulous look and asked, "You mean this special method?"
Wang Lufei replied while lifting weights, "Yeah, what do you think?Could it be."
As he spoke, Wang Luffy looked at Ain with disdain.Ain blushed with embarrassment at the look and said in a flustered manner, "No, no, don't talk nonsense."
Ain's immediate denial, followed by three consecutive denials, only fueled further suspicion.Wang Lufei didn't tease her any further, continuing to focus intently on his weightlifting.
And so they actually spent the whole afternoon in the gym.When they came out, Wang Lufei stretched and said refreshedly, "That felt so good."
Ain was a little disappointed, thinking to herself that Wang Lufei was just a blockhead, with no beautiful women around, and then he spent the whole afternoon lifting weights at the gym.
However, after complaining, Ain was still a little confused.This Wang Luffy sometimes looked like a seasoned scumbag, and other times like a block of wood who could sit still without being tempted.He was really hard to understand.
Wang Lufei didn't care what she thought of him, and turned to her, saying, "You've been training all afternoon, let's go replenish our energy?"
Ain nodded, and then the two went to the ship's restaurant, ate a simple but nutritious meal, and then went back to their respective rooms to rest.
Because Wang Lufei was needed to keep watch during the second half of the night, he quickly fell asleep after returning to his room.
(Short dividing line)
It was time for the shift change, and Wang Lufei naturally switched posts with the previous guard recruits.Now he was at the bow of the ship, using his Observation Haki and pretending to gaze into the distance.
After all, Observation Haki is like eyes, but the guards on the ship who patrol intermittently didn't know if Wang Luffy had activated Observation Haki, so Wang Luffy just pretended to use it to avoid unnecessary trouble.
The night passed, and fortunately nothing happened; everything was peaceful.The following days of sailing were the same, calm and uneventful.
But this calm made Wang Lufei feel very uneasy, because it might be a harbinger of an impending storm.The calmer it was, the less Wang Lufei dared to relax.
However, after sailing for a while, they arrived at a landmass, which, according to Ain, was the gathering place of a large pirate crew that the intelligence department had specifically investigated.
According to the original story, Weevil was encountered by Zephyr and his crew during their voyage, so this is not Weevil's location.
Wang Luffy breathed a slight sigh of relief and disembarked to assemble the team that Zephyr had reorganized on the ship.They formed groups of five, spaced 50 meters apart, and headed towards the pirate encampment.
However, Wang Luffy still complained that he, number 9527, was assigned to the first group by Zephyr.He didn't know what rule Zephyr used to assign the groups, since he was already a four-digit number and was still in the first group.
After advancing for some time, the soldiers had approached the pirate crew's main camp.At the command of Ain and the other two, they all launched a charge.
The pirates were startled by the deafening roar of the attack and quickly sounded the alarm, grabbing their weapons to fight back.The two sides clashed.
Luffy did not use his Devil Fruit ability because Zephyr had warned him before he came down that he should not use his Devil Fruit ability to take on too much of the fighting and rescuing, as this would make the actual combat meaningless.
Following Zephyr's advice, Wang Luffy joined his team and simply used his fists and legs to clear a path.
However, war always results in death, and the fighting had only just begun.Many people from both sides fell down.Seeing the new recruits lying on the ground groaning in pain, Wang Lufei felt a pang of compassion.
Even though he had killed many people, they were just scum.No matter how human they seemed, they had no humanity left.He didn't care how many he killed.
But the people falling in front of him were his own teammates.They might be strangers to Wang Luffy, but they were real, living people.So Wang Luffy couldn't help but want to use his abilities to end it all.
But Zephyr's words still echoed in his ears, and he once again suppressed the urge to attack.However, when the Marine, who was only 50 meters away, was instantly beheaded, Luffy truly couldn't hold back anymore.
He remembered that he had promised Ain that all the recruits would return unharmed.But he had broken his promise this time, so he didn't care about breaking his promise a second time.
So, while apologizing to Zephyr in his heart, Wang Luffy took out the superconducting alloy rod that he hadn't seen in a long time, unfolded it, and threw it into the sky.
He then used all his strength to condense lightning particles in his palm and spun them at high speed towards the alloy rod.Just as the lightning touched the alloy rod and was about to burst out from above, Wang Lufei teleported to the interface and let the lightning return to his body after undergoing superconducting rotation.
