Chapter 6 Nami, Smoker, and Their First Kiss
"Shouldn't you tell your sister?" Tang Fei asked Nami.
Seeing her gently shake her head, he smiled slightly, took her cool, soft little hand, and followed Garp.
Due to the invasion and occupation by the Arlong Pirates, the village has been in a state of silence for a long time, with not a single passerby on the streets.
Soon, Garp, Tang Fei, and Nami saw the naval officers rushing towards them.
They saw Nami and Tang Fei following behind Garp, and they all smiled, put away their weapons, and stood on either side, watching Garp and the others with great interest.
The adjutant walked over and asked, "Vice Admiral Garp, has the Arlong Pirates been wiped out?"
"I'm late! Those two kids wiped out the Arlong Pirates! Hahaha! They've already agreed to join the Marines. Now we're heading to Marineford to get them into the Marines' elite training camp!" Garp shouted happily.
He shouted.
"Vice Admiral Garp… Only the elite of the Navy selected from across the four seas can join the Navy Elite Training Camp. Although these two children are exceptionally talented, they were directly admitted…" The adjutant first looked in surprise at Nami, who had returned to her petite, cute, and harmless self, and then at the young and handsome Tang Fei, before quickly saying.
"It's none of your business. I'll talk to Sengoku, and he'll definitely agree, hahahahaha!" Garp waved his hand dismissively, then couldn't help but laugh again.
Garp pulled a communication snail from his pocket and dialed Sengoku's communication snail.
"Garp, I'm busy! Didn't I agree to give you a two-week vacation?! If you don't have anything important to do, your vacation is going to be canceled!" Sengoku's roar came from the Telephone Snail. The usually dull Telephone Snail was now speaking with great emotion, clearly showing everyone that Fleet Admiral Sengoku was very angry.
Garp said calmly, "I have found two geniuses. One has combat power comparable to a vice admiral. If he can master his own power, he can directly possess the strength of an admiral. The other's ability is unknown, but his physical attributes seem to be excellent! He is also a rare genius."
"Really?!" The previously boisterous Sengoku suddenly fell silent, asking with a mixture of surprise and delight.
"Of course, that girl must have eaten a Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit. She wiped out the Arlong Pirates in just five minutes. The boy used his ability to create an animal that looks like a puppy, but this animal can breathe fire and wiped out the Krieg Pirates." Garp recounted everything he knew.
"Okay, okay, let them participate in the elite training camp. If it's really as you say, and you want to rest for two months, I'll give you that!" Zhan Guo said happily, and then hung up the "phone".
"Let's go! Back!" Garp shouted happily upon hearing Sengoku's promise.
"Honey, where's the jewelry?" Nami suddenly remembered the jewelry she had collected from the pirates not long ago, which she hadn't taken yet, and she immediately became anxious.
"It's inside me. I'll give you the sacrificial gem to wear while you sleep at night. It will make you stronger faster." Tang Fei suddenly put his arm around Nami's waist and whispered in her ear.
Garp, who was standing at the front, twitched his ears imperceptibly, a glint of light flashed in his bright eyes, and his smile widened.
"Book Spirit, can the effects of the sacrifice magic be concealed? After all, that magic circle is really conspicuous." Tang Fei pondered for a moment and then quickly asked in sutra.
The appearance of the magic circle is inexplicable. You can't say it's not a Devil Fruit but a cultivation method, which would be even more dangerous for him.
Book Spirit: Master, it's impossible to conceal the magic circle, but you can make it blurry and turn it into black light.
"That's okay too!"
Book Spirit: Yes, Master. However, this method requires you to hold the Sacrifice Gem, because you cannot do this with your spiritual power and magic alone.
"Mmm!" Tang Fei secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said happily. With this problem solved, no one in the Navy would expose him as not being a Devil Fruit user.
When Nami and Tang Fei reached the shore, Nami was suddenly possessed by a spirit. She extended her right index finger and gently traced it in the air. A line of words appeared on the ground near the village entrance not far away: "Sister, I'm alright. I've joined the Navy. Don't worry—Nami"
After Nami finished carving the words with lightning, she released the spirit and boarded the naval warship with Tang Fei.
Nami sat on the deck, quietly gazing at the azure sea, without saying a word.
Tang Fei walked over gently, sat down next to Nami, put his arm around her waist, and asked tenderly, "What are you thinking about?"
"I signed a contract with you. I thought I would become your slave, but I didn't expect..." Nami did not resist. Despite her young age, she was mature and leaned against Tang Fei's chest without resistance, asking softly.
"I was an orphan since I was a child. No one cared about me. My parents' relatives saw me as a disaster. For me, loneliness and solitude were my constant companions. You signed a contract with me and became my person. Naturally, you are the family I trust the most and the least likely to betray." Tang Fei gently kissed Nami's forehead and explained softly.
Nami was taken aback when she heard this. She looked up at him with sympathy, but before she could say anything, he kissed her forehead, which made her freeze. Just as she was about to speak, she saw Tang Fei's handsome face close to hers.
Tang Fei had watched many movies and was naturally adept at passionate kissing, directly stealing Nami's first kiss.
Sitting some distance away, Garp kept stuffing rice crackers into his mouth while holding the ones in his arms, mumbling indistinctly, "Youth is wonderful."
Suddenly, a ship flying a pirate flag appeared on the azure sea. Garp saw it, put his senbei aside, walked over to the cannonball rack, picked up a cannonball, weighed it in his hand, and hurled it with his right hand.
A moment later, a loud explosion came from afar, causing Tang Fei and Nami, who were passionately kissing, to instinctively separate and look into the distance, where they saw the pirate ship sinking.
"You don't need to go," Tang Fei said, putting his arm around Nami as she was about to get up.
After saying that, Tang Fei took out two sacrificial gems from his storage space, held one in his right hand, and silently chanted a summoning mantra.
With the intervention of the Book Spirit, the magic circles under Tang Fei's feet and in the sky turned into black light. Then, a huge black eagle slowly appeared in the magic circle in the sky. This eagle was larger than the Thunder Eagle, but its aura was much smaller.
Through the Book Spirit, Tang Fei could clearly analyze the information of this giant eagle: Summoned Beast: Hurricane Demon Eagle (3-star aptitude, growth stage, level 15)
Upon seeing this information, Tang Fei couldn't help but sigh inwardly. A difference of ten levels is indeed significant. Although the giant eagle's body is enormous, its aura reveals a considerable gap in power.
With a light leap, he boarded the back of the Hurricane Demon Eagle, whose wingspan was a full fifteen meters, and transformed into a black shadow, flying towards the group of pirates struggling in the sea.
Because it was carrying Tang Fei on its back, the Hurricane Demon Eagle flew slowly, without causing Tang Fei any discomfort.
Just as Tang Fei arrived above the group of pirates, he clearly heard their terrified shouts.
"How did our ship sink? I... I didn't even see the enemy!"
"Who are you asking?! As if I saw them."
"Hurry up and swim, or you'll drown from talking nonsense."
Tang Fei looked down at the group of pirates swimming towards the distant island, smiled faintly, and silently uttered the word "sacrifice."
Under the control of the Book Spirit, black light suddenly appeared on their bodies, and the pirates who were swimming hard turned into black powder. The powder then condensed into several sacrificial gems in Tang Fei's hand.
After putting it away, Tang Fei ordered the Hurricane Demon Eagle to fly back.
Just as Tang Fei jumped down, Garp appeared in front of him from afar in an instant, blocking his path. Garp excitedly asked, "Is this your Devil Fruit ability?"
"Hmm." Tang Fei nodded, offering no explanation, as explaining would only make things more complicated.
Aside from encountering this group of pirates, the journey to Marineford was peaceful, as they had already reached the Calm Belt.
Two days later, when Tang Fei was bored, he saw a huge island with a group of magnificent buildings on it. These buildings were simple yet imposing, and they were decorated with naval insignia.
"I'll take you to meet Zephyr and get you directly into the elite training camp. As for your accommodation, one room should be fine, right?" Garp looked at the two kids. They were young and very affectionate; it wouldn't be good to have them sleep separately.
"Okay, then I'll trouble Vice Admiral Garp." Tang Fei smiled sheepishly and readily agreed.
"Let's go." Garp smiled, stuffing senbei into his mouth. Soon, Garp led Nami and Tang Fei to a wide square, next to which stood a three-story apartment building.
Right there in this wide square, a group of people were standing, a group of young men and women being lectured by a burly middle-aged man.
"Zeff, look what I brought you!" Garp clapped his hands after finishing his senbei and shouted loudly. When he saw the burly middle-aged man turn around, he pointed to Nami and Tang Fei behind him and said, "These two are geniuses."
"Genius?" Zephyr was taken aback upon hearing this. He looked closely at the two fair-skinned young men and women, but could not see any strength in them.
"Instructor Zephyr, I have an objection! We have to go through a series of selections to have the opportunity to join the elite training camp. They were directly admitted. I'm not satisfied!" A white-haired boy stepped out of the formation, staring intently at Tang Fei and Nami, and said loudly.
"Garp, you saw it too. Even if I agree to let these two kids join, the others don't agree," Zephyr grinned and said to Garp.
"I naturally accept this suggestion. Since you don't agree to my husband and I joining, let's have a competition." Nami was very unhappy when she saw the white-haired youth looking at Tang Fei with disdain.
"Okay!" Smoker nodded, walked directly to the middle of the playground, and looked at Nami.
Nami was standing in the middle of the playground when she waved to Smoker.
The girl's provocative actions annoyed Smoker, who decided not to hold back and intended to teach her a lesson so she would know what he was capable of.
Smoker swung his fists, seemingly about to touch Nami, when he saw Nami instinctively dodge. Immediately afterward, a right uppercut landed heavily on his abdomen.
Even without being possessed by a spirit, Nami's strength already reached 1,000 kilograms, and her mental strength was more than double that of an ordinary person. Moreover, although Smoker intended to teach Nami a lesson, he subconsciously did not use his full strength, only using half of it.
Smoker was hit with Nami's full-force punch and immediately collapsed to his knees, clutching his stomach.
"Not bad, not bad, a real talent..."
