Chapter 533 - 373

Chapter 374: Leisure Time!Leisure time after a big battle is always especially precious.The sun in the New World seems more passionate than elsewhere, bright and shining, generously coating the entire deck in golden brilliance.Three beach chairs were lined up on the emerald green lawn.Our Captain, Monkey D. Luffy, was lying spread-eagled on the largest chair in the middle. An open manga book covered his belly, and he was sleeping with drool flowing, occasionally muttering satisfied sleep-talk."Meat... so much meat..."To his left and right, the scene—tsk tsk—would definitely drive ninety-nine percent of men in the world crazy; it was simply a peerless sight on earth.Nami was wearing an orange bikini, perfectly displaying her explosive figure, known for its golden ratio, to the open air.She knelt beside Luffy, holding a bottle of sunscreen, carefully applying it to him.Those small, tender hands, seemingly boneless, carried a cool, slippery sensation as they "accidentally" brushed over Luffy's bronze-colored, powerful muscle lines.Sometimes gentle, sometimes applying a bit of pressure, causing Luffy to hum comfortably in his sleep."Honestly, sleeping like a pig, not even knowing to use sunscreen. What if you get a sunburn?"She grumbled softly, but her beautiful eyes were full of tenderness and laughter like spring water, and the happy, proud curve of her lips couldn't be hidden at all.On Luffy's other side, Nico Robin was wearing a deep purple bikini, appearing even more mature and mysterious as she elegantly crossed her legs and leaned back on the lounge chair.She held a glass of iced lemon fruit tea in one hand, while the other held a peeled, crystal-clear purple grape.She didn't take the initiative like Nami, but just watched quietly, an intellectual smile on her lips that seemed to see through everything.Just as Nami finished applying sunscreen to Luffy's right arm and straightened up to wipe her sweat...Robin moved.She leaned forward slightly and gently brought the sweet-smelling grape to Luffy's lips.The sleeping king seemed to smell the aroma of food and instinctively opened his mouth, taking in the grape along with Robin's slender finger."Mmm... sweet..."Luffy smacked his lips twice and mumbled unclearly.Robin smiled and inconspicuously withdrew her finger from that warm mouth, a trace of crystal-clear saliva still clinging to it.She put her finger to her lips and licked it lightly.At that moment, the look she gave Nami was full of the quiet provocation of a victor.Nami's smile stiffened for a second.She felt it!!!This black-bellied Historian was using her subtle, "gentle as a spring rain" way to challenge her status as the "Main Wife"!Why, you, Robin!!!Nami took a deep breath, the staggering curve of her chest becoming even more magnificent.She picked up an ice cube from the nearby bucket, wrapped it in a handkerchief, and then leaned toward Luffy's cheek with a beaming smile."Captain, it's so hot. Let me help you cool down~"A war without smoke, over the "Ownership of the Emperor," quietly began on this sun-drenched deck.And our protagonist, Luffy, was completely oblivious to it.He only felt that today's sleep was more comfortable than ever before....However, this moment of peace and harmony was soon completely shattered by an untimely, irritable roar!"Damn Mosshead! Get your filthy paws away from my sacred kitchen!!!"*Bang!*A loud noise!The kitchen door was kicked open, and two figures flew out like cannonballs, slamming heavily onto the deck's lawn.Sanji had half a cigarette in his mouth and was still wearing that pink apron, using his signature Diable Jambe to frantically kick toward Zoro's head!"Bastard! That was the 'Dream Dew' I specifically 'borrowed' from the royal wine cellar of Dressrosa, especially for the ladies!""You Mosshead, who only deserves to drink trash rum, actually dared to steal a drink!!!"Sanji roared in heartache while kicking.That bottle of wine was something he had prepared to share with the ladies on some romantic night. Now, it had actually been downed by half by this damn swordsman like a cow drinking water!Unforgivable!!!Zoro was shirtless, revealing muscles as if cast from steel and covered in scars.He had a satisfied flush on his face and was hiccuping from the alcohol. While using the scabbards of his three famous swords to clumsily block Sanji's kicks, he retorted nonchalantly:"Huh? What 'ladies only'... *hic*... I smell it... this wine... was clearly prepared for swordsmen!""Good wine should be paired with the strong! You Love-struck Kappa who only knows how to follow women around doesn't understand its value at all!""What did you say?! You damn directionless Mosshead! I dare you to say that again!!""Said it, so what? Curly Eyebrows!"With one kicking and the other slashing, their bickering instantly turned into a full-blown brawl, turning the originally leisurely and cozy deck into a mess.Luffy, sleeping on the chair, was woken up by the huge commotion. He rubbed his eyes and, seeing the two fighting, didn't stop them but instead laughed heartily with great interest."Go for it! Zoro! Sanji!"However, someone couldn't laugh.A terrifying low-pressure zone that could freeze an iceberg radiated from Nami.She stood up from the ground bit by bit, the sweet smile on her face gone, replaced by a cold, devilish grin."You two... bastards..."She clenched her fists, her knuckles making a series of crisp "crack-crack" sounds."Disturbing this Navigator's mood for enjoying a sunbath...""Have you already prepared yourselves to go to hell?!"The moment the words fell, Nami's figure turned into a bolt of orange lightning!"Fist of Love!!!"*Bang! Bang!*Two dull thuds that sounded painful just to hear!Zoro and Sanji, who were fighting tooth and nail a second ago, were kneeling on the deck in tears the next, each with a bump swelling up at a visible speed."We're sorry! Nami-san! We were wrong!"The world was finally quiet....On the other side of this farce, a man was trying to stay away from all this idiocy.Trafalgar Law was leaning against the railing at the bow, holding a thick medical journal, brows furrowed as he tried to immerse himself in the ocean of academia.Since boarding this ship, he felt his high-cold persona had been frantically testing the edge of collapse.However, sometimes, trouble is something you can't avoid."Found you! Doctor Torao!""Quick! Quick, save His Majesty King Chopper!"Two sneaky figures suddenly pounced from behind Law!It was the two most troublesome jokers on the ship—Usopp and Chopper.Before Law could react, a furry hat with two small antlers was "slap" placed on his head.Immediately after, Chopper fell to his feet with a "thud," limbs twitching, foaming at the mouth, and letting out painful groans."Doctor... I... I can't make it... My Marshmallow Kingdom... is going to... going to perish..."Usopp, meanwhile, grabbed Law's leg with snot and tears."Doctor Torao! You are our last hope! Please, use your Ope-Ope no Mi ability to save our great King Chopper!"Veins bulged on Law's forehead.His face was so dark it was almost the same color as Armament Haki.He swore he really wanted to activate ROOM and then use Counter Shock to zap some sense into these two idiots' brains!But when he saw Luffy in the distance, laughing so hard he was doubled over and completely lacking any image;Saw Franky and Brook pull out a guitar and a hand drum from somewhere and start passionately accompanying this "stage play";Saw Nami, Robin... their eyes full of laughter...A hard corner of his heart, which had been frozen for years by hatred, seemed to quietly melt a little.Finally, he gave up resisting.He sighed, adjusted the antler hat on his head, and in his characteristic deep and cold voice, began his diagnosis of the "dying" Chopper with a straight face."Hmm... based on my judgment, the patient is suffering from a terminal illness called 'I'll die if I don't get candy'.""The only treatment plan is an immediate, urgent delivery of an 'Extra-Large Rainbow Marshmallow'."As soon as he said this, the whole place erupted in laughter.Even Zoro and Sanji, who were still kneeling in punishment, couldn't help but laugh out loud.A faint curve, which even he didn't notice, appeared at the corner of Law's mouth.Perhaps, this kind of voyage... isn't so bad.Amidst this atmosphere full of laughter, a News Coo flapping its wings descended from the sky with a squawk."Newspaper! Newspaper! Freshly baked big news!"Nami's eyes lit up, and she habitually waved to the News Coo.She skillfully took out a few Berries from her pocket, threw them to the News Coo, and took the newspaper that still smelled of ink."Honestly, newspapers these days are getting more and more expensive."As she unfolded the paper, she habitually started her money-grubber complaining mode."The price of this one newspaper is almost as much as Chopper's one hundred Berries bounty!""Nami—!!!"In a corner far away, the recently "cured" Choppersuffered another mental blow and started drawing circles against the mast.The crew let out a burst of friendly laughter.However, this laughter came to an abrupt halt in the next second.Everyone saw Nami's movements stop.On her pretty face, which was originally a bit lazy and teasing, all the color drained away in an instant!Those beautiful brown eyes snapped wide, her pupils shrinking violently, filled with unbelievable horror and shock!"This... how is this... possible?!"
