Nami put her hands on her hips, her face full of pride.
"Don't trouble Mr. Roland!"
Nojiko raised her hand and gently tapped Nami's forehead, then pulled her sister's hand and came before Roland, bowing to thank him.
"Mr. Roland, you've really taken care of my sister during this time!"
"It's only been half a year, and you're already being too polite, Nojiko!"
Roland smiled playfully.
"You're right!"
Nojiko smiled awkwardly.
"You are Nami's sister she often talks about, I'm Vivi, Nami's good best friend!"
Vivi stepped forward and took Nojiko's small hand.
"I'm Bonney!"
"Robin."
"I'm the boss's secretary, Kalifa!"
The girls introduced themselves one after another.
"We know, we know, we've seen all about you in the news!"
Nojiko nodded happily again and again.
"Oh, since Nojiko and everyone knows, I won't pretend anymore, I'll come clean, I am Lightning Girl with a bounty of 660 million Beri. As for Arlong, I can crush him with one finger now!"
Nami tilted her small head back, as proud as a peacock displaying its feathers.
"Hahahaha."
"Yes, yes, our Nami is the most amazing!"
"Our village has also produced a great person!"
The villagers all laughed happily.
"Oh, Mr. Roland is here!"
The crowd parted, and Genzo and the others arrived in a flurry.
The moment he saw Nami, Father Roland's eyes couldn't help but turn red.
"Really, Mr. Roland, why are you like Nojiko? A man's tears should not be shed lightly!"
Nami said playfully with a smile.
"Nami, who said I was crying? I just got sand in my eyes!"
Genzo stubbornly laughed and scolded.
"Hahahaha."
The villagers couldn't help but laugh.
"Go, go, why are you all crowding here? Hurry up and prepare the banquet. Nami and our benefactors have rarely returned, we must not neglect them!"
Genzo drove them away with a hint of embarrassment.
In the evening,
A grand banquet was held in the Cocoyasi Village square.
This was a spectacle that had never even occurred during the New Year.
The banquet finally ended at ten o'clock in the evening.
Drunk villagers returned home, supported by their families.
"Really, Nojiko, if you can't drink, don't try to be strong!"
Nami helped her sister back to the Orange House.
"Nami, I'm not drunk yet, come here, your sister wants to talk to you!"
Nojiko opened her blurry, drunken eyes and waved to Nami.
"What's there to say? Let's talk about it tomorrow!"
Though she said that, Nami still obediently stepped forward.
"Little Nami, you're a big girl now, and your sister shouldn't nag anymore, but... seeing how unpromising you are, your sister really can't help but say a few words!"
Nojiko pretended to speak in the tone of an elder.
"How am I unpromising? I can crush Arlong with one hand now!"
Nami put her hands on her hips, her face full of defiance.
"You and Mr. Roland haven't crossed that line yet, have you!"
Nojiko's single sentence instantly extinguished Nami's arrogance, and a flush spread across her pretty face.
"Oh, Nojiko, why are you suddenly saying this..."
"Since you like him, you should go for it. Don't always wait for others to make the first move. If you miss out…"
Nojiko's murmuring gradually turned into even breathing.
"No, that's not right. At least I have some experience. Nojiko, you're still a virgin…"
Nami didn't finish her rebuttal. Looking at her sleeping sister, she just sighed and tucked the blanket around her.
Stepping out of the house and looking at the bright moon in the sky, Nami felt that it might be time for her to take that step.
Village Square.
"Captain, let's have a spar!"
Watching Roland take down Roland and the others, Nami mustered her courage and asked Roland for a spar.
"A spar? What kind of spar at this late hour?"
Roland burped, asking in confusion.
"Oh, it's just… it's just that Captain, you also have lightning abilities, and I've recently had some new ideas for developing the Thunder-Thunder Fruit, so I wanted to… with Captain…"
Nami's face was red, and she rambled for an excuse.
"I see. Of course!"
Roland smiled slightly and readily agreed.
The next second.
Two streaks of lightning, one gold and one blue, shot into the sky, leaving Cocoyasi Village in an instant.
Ten minutes later.
Above a certain sea area.
"Nami, a spar is a spar, but why are you tearing my clothes?"
