Chapter 5
The sun was setting, and the weather was very good.
As the sun set, Nami and Mizuto drove the Merry to land on the remote coast of the island where the Cocoa West Village was located.
The surrounding area was full of steep cliffs, so there were no fishmen stationed.
This was the base camp of the Dragon Pirates, so there were also people stationed on the coast.
They ruled more than a dozen villages, and the Cocoa West Village was just one of them.
The reason for landing here was that this time he was carrying a lot of money.
Before collecting 100 million Baileys, he didn't want the other party to find out about his huge fortune, so as not to be robbed by the other party, otherwise all his previous efforts would be wasted.
After parking the Merry, she took her treasure and Minato through the steep path directly to the hut in the orange grove.
This used to be Bellemeier's hut.
Now it's hers.
She returned to her own room and looked at Minato and told him.
"You stay here alone."
"I'm going to come out, and I'll make you a plate of fried orange meat later."
"It's my favorite food."
Minato was very happy when he heard it.
"Okay, I'm hungry."
"Thank you, sister Nami."
After hearing her words, Nami left happily.
Carrying a package on his back, he went to the orange grove.
After checking everywhere to see if there was anyone, he dug up his treasure hiding place and put all the money in the package on his body into it.
Then he filled the soil with peace of mind to make it invisible. After picking seven or eight large oranges in the orange orchard, they were just ripe, and then returned to the house.
Put the oranges on the table and said with a smile.
"Minato, you can eat these for now, and leave four or five for cooking. I'll go buy meat first."
Minato was very happy to see these oranges.
He immediately picked up one and held it in his palm.
"Thank you, sister Nami."
Nami looked at the sky that was about to get completely dark. At this time, she could only go to that place to get some meat.
After all, how can you stir-fry oranges with meat without meat?
Naturally, she came to her sister Nokiko's house. Because she was a member of the Dragon Pirates, she was naturally disliked by the villagers in the village, and she didn't intend to tell them the reason.
After all, she wouldn't get any help if she told them, and it would make them worry.
After all, they had to get 100 million Baileys, and in addition to supporting themselves, they had to pay a monthly protection fee of 100,000 Baileys. It was impossible to get extra money.
Nokiko was very happy to see Nami, but her face was still calm.
"It's rare that someone like you would come here."
In fact, the villagers all knew the agreement between Nami and Arlong. If they collected 100 million berries, they could redeem the village. The villagers' freedom would give freedom to others.
"I'm here to get some meat. I can buy it with money."
Nami said slowly.
Only this sister could show some mercy to her. Others would not treat her like this.
Other villagers would not look at her well, because they hated the dragon and hated her by the way. Of course, Nami also hated herself for joining the dragon pirates.
After redeeming the village with 100 million berries, she could leave the dragon pirates.
After hearing this, Nokiko took out a piece of meat and gave it to Nami without saying a word.
Nami took out a banknote and put it on the table, picked up the meat and left.
Nokiko wanted to refuse it, but after thinking about it, she decided to forget it.
She also felt sorry for Nami, but she could not give any help.
I felt a little painful in my heart. When will such days end?
Soon after, Nami returned to the hut near the orange grove. She spent some time to make a delicious orange fried meat for Minato and herself.
There were both vegetables and meat.
At the same time, she cooked a pot of rice. Orange fried meat was more fragrant with rice.
Minato saw the fragrant orange fried meat slices and his appetite was aroused.
"Sister Nami, then I will start eating."
"Eat."
Nami was hungry herself.
The two began to eat.
Minato picked up a piece of meat and put it in the bowl, and then he started to eat. His eyes were bright in an instant. It was sweet, fragrant, and a little sour, which increased his appetite.
It was so fragrant and delicious to eat with rice, and he felt satisfied in his heart.
"Sister Nami, you are so kind. It would be great if you could marry my father.
In this way, I can eat your cooking every day. "
Nami smiled bitterly, why is this topic again?
She is really a caring little cotton-padded jacket for her father, looking for a woman for his father.
She didn't plan to respond, there was no feasibility in this matter.
Just now I calculated the treasures brought back, plus the ones I saved before, and there was still 7 million short of 100 million Baileys. It seems that I have to go out again.
This time I think I can get enough by stealing another pirate group.
Doing this kind of thing is too dangerous, so I don't plan to take Minato with me.
After she rests at home for a few days, I will hand her over to Nojigo for a while.
At night After that, Nami boiled the water and invited Minato to come and take a bath together.
After Nami simply took off her clothes, she soaked in the water. After being away from home for many years, it was so comfortable to return home.
I can relax for a few days.
Minato also took off his clothes and entered the pool, looking at sister Nami.
Sister Nami has a great figure, and her father will definitely like it.
According to her observations in the past few days, she found that sister Nami was sometimes happy and sometimes a little sad.
It seems that there must be something bothering her. As long as she helps her solve this problem, she will definitely go with her.
"Sister Nami, is there anything on your mind? I can help you solve it."
Although she is the youngest in the family, she is still very strong.
Nami looked at her expectant face.
In her heart, she didn't believe that she had such strength at all, but she was helpless. This little guy wanted to pull her into the other family again.
What a child who never gave up.
"It's okay now, let me give you a bath. "
As she spoke, she took a towel and wiped Minato's body.
This reminded her of the memory of Bell-mère wiping her body.
She had grown up, and was doing what Bell-mère had done.
She was kind enough to bring the child home, and she would take him to find his brother after she was done.
It was better than him wandering alone on the sea. The extreme weather at sea was a natural disaster, and a child couldn't handle it, and she might not be able to handle it herself.
And there were those terrifying sea kings, there were too many sea kings in this world.
If she accidentally encountered them, she might become a fish meal.
Minato saw that Nami didn't want to say it, and he knew in his heart that this must be the other party's suffering.
She just didn't want to tell him, so she didn't ask again.
But as long as he stayed by her side, he would know, and then help her solve it.
