Chapter 15 - The Adventure Crew is Formed

At the beach, the usual training ground for Nami and Nojiko.

 

"Why aren't they here yet? Leno called on the **Den Den Mushi** and said he'd be here today."

 

"They should be close by now," Nami and Nojiko said to each other, standing on a huge rock by the sea.

 

Suddenly, a black dot appeared on the sea and slowly turned into a small boat. When Nami saw it, she immediately waved to Nojiko.

 

"Nojiko, look, they're here! That's that idiot Leno's boat."

 

"I know, I see it! Stop shaking me. Let's go greet them."

 

From a distance, Leno could see two girls on the beach waving at them.

 

"Look, they're here to greet us," he said to Kuina.

 

"Yeah," Kuina replied, her grip on her sword tightening as she looked at the two girls in the distance. Her face was full of anticipation; from now on, she'd be living with them.

 

"Leno, hahaha, you're finally here! Nojiko and I were getting so impatient. Is this our new companion?" Nami asked, running over and grabbing Kuina's hand as soon as the boat reached the shore.

 

"Yes, this is Kuina, a sword prodigy. Kuina, this is Nami, and that's Nojiko over there," Leno said.

 

"Hello, I'm Kuina. Please take care of me from now on."

 

"Hello, I'm Nami."

 

"And I'm Nojiko. Please take care of us, too."

 

"Alright, enough standing around like statues. Home! We're throwing Kuina a welcome party!" Leno led the way.

 

Behind him, the three girls chattered nonstop. With their similar ages and Nami's lively personality, they quickly got to know each other.

 

 

*"Cheers!"* (x4)

 

"I declare that our **Adventure Crew** is officially formed today!" Leno stood up, holding a glass of juice. "From now on, we'll sail our own ship, brave the wind and waves, overcome all obstacles, and travel to every corner of the world! In the end, we'll become the world's greatest adventurers!"

 

*"Yeah!"* (x4)

 

"I'll draw the most detailed sea chart in the world to guide our ship safely through every dangerous place and become the greatest navigator!" Nami exclaimed.

 

"I'll become the world's greatest swordsman!" Kuina shouted.

 

"I'll become a strong sea warrior!" Nojiko declared. Ever since she decided to learn swordsmanship, she had quietly decided that she would never hold anyone back and would work hard to keep up with Leno.

After the lively party ended, Nami and Nojiko tidied up a room for Kuina, and just like that, Kuina moved in. The next day, Kuina began teaching Nami and Nojiko. Under Leno's arrangements, everyone was wearing high-purity **Seastone Stone**.

 

Lying on a beach chair, Leno watched the three figures training in the distance and opened his system panel.

 

**Leno**

 

- **Armament Haki**: Advanced

- **Observation Haki**: Advanced

- **Conqueror's Haki**: Intermediate

- **Advanced Martial Arts**

- **Advanced Swordsmanship**

- **Devil Fruit Abilities**:

**Rumble-Rumble Fruit** (no side effects) None None

- **Inventory**: Gold, Berries, Wind Rift, Sandai Kitetsu, food, etc.

 

Leno had complained more than once about his rudimentary system panel. 'When other people get reincarnated, they get sign-in rewards or mission rewards, and some even come with an AI assistant. What's the use of this panel? Did I not transmigrate correctly?'

 

'If only I had a multi-system, I'd even be willing to become a **World Noble** and the top swordsman!' he thought.

 

"Idiot Leno, what are you thinking? You look so lewd!" Nami asked, interrupting his daydream.

 

"Ahem, what is it, Nami? What's going on?" he replied.

 

"Uncle Genzo just called on the Den Den Mushiand said Belle-Mèreis about to give birth."

 

"What?! I thought she still had a few more days! Then let's go now!" Leno stood up abruptly.

 

In the yard, the four of them stood silently like guards while Genzo paced back and forth in front of the door, holding his hands and occasionally looking up at the house.

 

"Uncle Genzo, can you be quiet? You're making me dizzy. Don't worry, Belle-Mère will be fine," Nami said, her eyes also filled with worry.

 

Nojiko prayed silently on the side. Although Leno had brought in a few female doctors from Loguetown, Belle-Mère was over 30 and was considered a high-risk pregnancy, so there was some danger.

 

"Why is there no movement yet? It's been half a day already." Genzo's face was filled with panic.

 

Leno swept his **Observation Haki** over the house. "Don't worry, Brother Genzo. Belle-Mère will be fine. Don't be so nervous."

 

"I understand, but how can I not be nervous? My wife is in there," Genzo mumbled, completely losing his usual composure.

 

"If it gets any worse, I'll go in and check on her," Nami said.

 

"Go, go, go! What if she's in a critical moment? What if you interrupt her?" Leno said, rolling his eyes.

 

Nami pouted and fell silent, waiting anxiously.

 

"By the way, Brother Genzo, have you chosen a name for the baby?" Leno asked.

 

"Yeah, if it's a boy, he'll be called Allen, and if it's a girl, she'll be called Eileen."

 

"Hmm? Not bad, those are good names. Once the baby is born, we'll let Nami take care of it so she can experience what Belle-Mère went through," Leno said, coming up with a mischievous idea.

 

"You're dead, stupid Leno! Fine—I'll do it! Big deal!" Nami snapped.

 

"Fine, you're so noble, so great. Don't complain when you get tired," Leno taunted. "Why don't you ask Nojiko if it was hard for them to raise you, feeding you and cleaning up your messes."

 

*"Pfft!"* (x2)

 

Nojiko and Kuina burst out laughing, bending over.

 

"Leno, what are you talking about, feeding and cleaning up her messes…" Nojiko said, rolling her eyes in mock disapproval.

 

"Idiot Leno! You big jerk! I'll kill you!" Nami shrieked, going crazy. 'What kind of person says something like that?'

 

"Alright, alright, stop messing around—Belle-Mère's in the middle of—" Just as Nojiko tried to calm them—

 

*"Waaaah!"*

 

A clear cry rang out, accompanied by Belle-Mère's painful scream.

 

"She's born! She's born!"

 

"Congratulations! The mother and daughter are safe!" a female doctor said as she handed the baby to Genzo.

 

"That's great!" The others gathered around to see the baby.

 

"Eww, the baby's so ugly."

 

*"Bonk!"*

 

"Ouch!"

 

"What do you know? All babies look like this when they're just born. She'll get prettier in a few days," Genzo said.

 

The baby had her eyes closed, with long eyelashes and pink hair inherited from . She looked very cute.

 

After they had all taken turns holding baby Eileen, Genzo took her inside. Leno gave the doctors some money and had them sent back. In the following days, Nami eagerly volunteered to take care of the baby, but…

 

"Belle-Mère, Eileen just had a big poop! Help me!" Nami cried.

 

"Belle-Mère, Eileen is hungry again…"

 

"Belle-Mère, Eileen…"

 

Nami was suffering from Eileen's torment, Belle-Mère was suffering from Nami's torment, Leno was enjoying the show, and Nojiko was rolling her eyes, her heart filled with sympathy.

 

Fortunately, after Nami diligently learned, she could finally take care of Eileen on her own. She skillfully hummed a lullaby while holding Eileen, putting her to sleep, which greatly impressed Leno.

 

Nami had finally experienced how hard Belle-Mère's life had been.
