Chapter 195 - 53

Chapter 53"Yeah, yeah."Having already bid farewell to Crocus and Laboon, they had officially entered the Grand Line.The going merry sailed across a stretch of sea.On the deck."Laboon aside, shouldn't you first explain what's going on with Vivi?"Nami said expressionlessly, "You just let a strange woman onto the ship?""Miss Nami!" Sanji was more than happy to have Vivi on board, but as soon as he spoke, Nami sent him flying with her clima-tact. "It's already noon, cook, hurry up and go make lunch!""Yes..."That's right, the special weapon Usopp made for Nami, the clima-tact, had already been completed.Glancing at the situation ahead, Usopp silently went to sit next to Zoro."Zoro, what do you think?""Uncle Crocus said that woman named Vivi was whale hunting; she doesn't look like a good person.""Ah, Luffy already made the decision as Captain, so she's considered a companion now... Anyway, Luffy's judgment is just like that. Do you think that cook looks like a good person?"Usopp thought about it carefully—Zoro was damn well right!Zoro let out a yawn, staring ahead."More than that, I'm more concerned about when Luffy will get things settled... It's time to train.""...Are you some kind of demon?" Usoppdeadpanned.But looking at Nami in front of him, it seemed as if demon horns had already sprouted from her forehead...."In any case, since we've come to a new sea, we need new companions and new adventures!" Luffybraced himself and put on the air of a Captain!As the Captain of the ship, Nami wouldn't find anything Luffy did strange; even if he found a skeleton to be a crew member in the future, it would be considered normal.Finding a companion was fine; it wasn't unacceptable.However, no matter how you looked at it, Vivididn't seem like she was on the ship willingly; she hadn't said a word since a moment ago."I'm Nami, the Navigator of this ship." Namireached out her hand. "If our idiot Captain did anything strange to you, please forgive him. His brain occasionally goes haywire and he does things like that."Are you saying he also spanks your butt often?Just what kind of people are on this pirate ship!Luffy was dissatisfied. "Nami, what kind of stereotype is that?""I know. But before that, may I borrow the Captainfor a moment?"Vivi shook hands with Nami and gave a sweet smile.After what happened with Laboon just now, her opinion of Luffy had indeed changed a bit.How should she put it? He was far from the image of a pirate she had imagined.But a grudge unavenged is not Vivi!Is my butt something you can just spank whenever you want?When she showered, she would stroke her well-proportioned, pert buttocks with satisfaction, yet Luffy had beaten them until they felt like a twisted mess; it hurt even to move.Borrow him?Luffy sensed the scent of a conspiracy."If you don't mind, could you tell me about it?"Nami crossed her arms, her eyes sweeping over the smiling Vivi before pinning onto Luffy like a cold blade.Am I finished?Luffy keenly sensed that the atmosphere was a bit off.Observation Haki was very convenient in this regard."I need someone to pay for my injuries," Vivi said with a fake smile.In her plan, this sentence should have hinted to Nami, but from Nami's perspective, Luffy's medical skills had somehow improved by leaps and bounds, so he was indeed considered the ship's doctor."Alright, do you need my help?""No need, I'll have Merry help me out!"Seeing an opportunity, Luffy immediately jumped in.Vivi's intentions were truly malicious, actually trying to drive a wedge between him and Namiright off the bat!Although he felt that the so-called companion relationship seemed to be slightly changing... but that's impossible.In any case, he absolutely could not let Nami know about this.His clever intellect reoccupied his brain at this moment.[Automatically adjusting based on physical condition. Companion Day has ended. Please begin daily cultivation immediately... Countdown: thirty seconds.][Warning, punishment countdown...][Adjusting to the character's current state. Necessary knowledge is essential to become the Pirate King; this will help in better Fruit ability development.][Random study project... Study with Vivi. Please execute immediately.]Eh?This was the first time Luffy had received such a strange plan. Just studying with Vivi was enough, with no other additional conditions?Was it because of Nika?Many things piled up in his mind, but only a split second had passed."Let's go."Vivi wanted to say something more, but she saw that Luffy had already grabbed her wrist.This was a bit different from what she had imagined! Moreover, if she took steps to walk, the two 'petals' swaying left and right would naturally hurt; Vivi stood as still as a wooden post."What's wrong?"You're asking what's wrong?"It hurts!" Vivi was almost moved to tears.What a pain.The countdown had already begun, and Nami was right there, so it wasn't good to just tuck Vivi under his arm and carry her away like before."Fine then."Vivi froze for a moment, then watched helplessly as Luffy pulled her left arm and draped it over his shoulder.Her body subconsciously leaned in.Because pain numbs the brain and clogs one's thoughts. Her body was eager to find a place to lie down and let her butt rest without being strained.Luffy's movements also paused for a moment.As their bodies pressed together, a soft sensation immediately came from everywhere.After being 'developed' by Nami, Luffy was no longer the ignorant boy he once was who would have no reaction to this at all.Vivi's figure was on par with Nami's. With the two of them pressed close, Luffy almost felt like she was another Nami from a different world.She was wearing Nami's white winter sweater, but Luffy could still feel the curves of Vivi's body. Compared to Nami's softness... there was a bit more elasticity and resilience.Her scent was also different from Nami's light fragrance; it was a rich milky scent, as if her skin had been soaked in milk since childhood.Vivi smelled that thick masculine scent and her legs felt too weak to move.What is this guy doing!"Hey, did something happen between you two earlier?"Nami was questioning them."Huh? With Merry around, what could happen?" Luffy's clever intellect once again took the high ground."Yeah, yeah." Merry hesitated for a moment but decided to stick with Luffy to the end."You guys... forget it."Nami couldn't quite handle the 'cute' expressions Luffy and Merry made with their eyes wide open.Finally, they managed to bluff their way through.Luffy secretly breathed a sigh of relief and then gave Vivi a small smile, though this smile didn't look very friendly in Vivi's eyes.It was like a big bad wolf kidnapping a little white rabbit into a pitch-black cave; who knew what would happen.Chapter 67: Where is this?Vivi was completely dazed.Because of that injured private spot, even moving was difficult. Her body exerted almost no strength at all, and she was entirely dragged along by Luffy.The sensations of intimate physical contact between a man and a woman were sweeping through her entire body.Vivi was almost crying at her own stupidity; she seemed to have set herself up.Don't, don't go!At this moment, the expressionless Nami looked somewhat kind and gentle in Vivi's eyes.Coming to her senses, she opened her mouth wanting to call Nami back. At least if Nami, a fellow girl, was by her side, Luffy probably wouldn't dare to do anything.You say there's still Merry?In Vivi's eyes, this cute little girl was no different from a little demon with horns on her head.She was in cahoots with Luffy!Whether it was because of the physical contact or because she was being led into an unknown abyss, Vivi felt her heart racing wildly in her chest, and then... she felt another heart racing just as wildly. She couldn't help but look toward Luffy."I'll pay for your injuries, so don't say anything nonsensical," Luffy said, looking at Vivi who was right in front of him.Her high ponytail had been let down, revealing thick blue hair cascading down. She had a very ladylike temperament and looked more like a princess."What nonsensical things? Isn't that the truth?" A flush appeared on Vivi's face. "This behavior of yours, secretly coercing people by spanking a girl's butt, needs to be thoroughly criticized!""That's because we were enemies before. Also, I did it out in the open.""Pervert!""Thanks for the compliment."Vivi: "???"Luffy saw the look of disdain on Vivi's face, which was almost the same as Nami's look of seeing trash; he was already used to it."I regret it. I shouldn't have agreed to you." Viviwanted to cry but had no tears. She felt like she had boarded a ship of thieves; even the Captainwas such a pervert, were there any normal people on this ship?"Regret is invalid."Luffy unilaterally exercised the Captain's power of veto."You!"Vivi subconsciously leaned forward to argue with Luffy, but Luffy happened to turn his head at that moment, and the distance between them suddenly became dangerous.They could even feel each other's breath."Too close..."Vivi subconsciously tilted her neck back to avoid him, her ears feeling a bit hot."Do you think I'm a vampire? Inviting me for a meal.""You pervert, stop talking!"Luffy had experience being'sucked' on; the power of Uta's little canine teeth was still fresh in his memory. Uta seemed quite satisfied back then, which made Luffy feel a bit itchy too.No, if this continues, I'll really be treated like a pervert.[Nika Recognition: 5.8%]
