70: Chapter 70 Inviting Ain to Board the ShipAfter Whitebeard Jr.and his mother were imprisoned in the ship's dock, all was calm at sea.Zephyr gathered his crew, counted the number of people, and after confirming that everyone was accounted for, they began their return voyage.
Wang Lufei returned to his night watch post, spending every night on the deck enjoying the sea breeze.This time, however, he no longer felt oppressed, but rather relaxed.
Gazing at the night sky and the sea, he thought about the companions he had already found and the companions he would find next.Currently, he had Nami as his navigator, Nojiko as his cook, Kuina and Zoro as his combatants, and Ain and Shirahoshi as potential crew members.
The only necessary crew position missing is a doctor, and both Chopper and Law are excellent choices, so let's just take them both.Chopper goes without saying, he's an essential mascot.Law's personality is also quite good.
Furthermore, there were two considerations behind accepting Law as a disciple.Firstly, both Law and Sengoku had a blood feud with Doflamingo, and Law would definitely have to go to Dressrosa in the future, not only to avenge Sengoku.
This is also to ensure a better foothold in the New World after the navy becomes independent; only by relying on a nation can there be better development.Dressrosa is a good choice, not only because it is close to the G5 branch, but also because it is easy to defend and difficult to attack.
Therefore, it is only natural to go there and kill Doflamingo, which would also solve Law's worries.
On the other hand, Law's Ope Ope no Mi (Surgery Fruit) can isolate germs from the body of Chopper's adoptive father, Hiruluk.
I still remember the scene in the original work where Chopper cried his heart out when he learned that he was powerless to cure Hiluluk's terminal illness; it was heartbreaking.
Wang Lufei firmly thought that he would never let this happen again.
After that, Wang Luffy stopped thinking about these things and instead considered that if the Marine Headquarters were moved to the New World and independence was declared, the stability of the four seas would become a problem.
In the original story, Akainu moved the Marines to the New World because of the Peacekeeper PX fighter jets, which could easily defeat pirates with bounties under 100 million.Vegapunk clearly hasn't built these yet.
However, if I were to hand over Bakin and Weevil to him, without even needing to use the bear, he would probably be able to create the Peacekeeper—the Weevil series fighter jets, and then I wouldn't have to worry about the Four Seas problem.
Although Professor Zephyr said that such experiments were against nature and morality, Vegapunk's experiments were not biological genetic experiments, but mechanical modification experiments, and the two are different.
Just as Wang Lufei was pondering his plan, Ain appeared behind him again, gently hugged him, and said:
"What are you thinking about, so engrossed?And you can't stop grinning like an idiot, you didn't even notice I was right behind you.Are you thinking about the girls at the naval base?"
However, although Ain spoke lightly, Wang Lufei sensed a hint of sourness in her voice, and the ever-quick-witted Wang Lufei couldn't help but have a sudden inspiration.
Turning around, she said, "Sister Ain, you're such a joker.Go do your own thing, I won't bother you anymore, I'm leaving!"
When Ain saw Wang Luffy trying to slip away, she grabbed his sleeve and said, "You can't leave."
Wang Lufei suddenly turned around and said incredulously, "Hahaha, Sister Ain, don't always overthink things.You don't really think I'm thinking about the girls at the base, do you?"
Ain nodded and said, "I believe you, I believe you completely.If you don't care about them, why are you afraid to face me?"
Upon hearing this, Wang Lufei's expression changed, and he said, "Since you already know, then I won't continue this act."
Upon hearing this, Ai En suddenly regretted grabbing Wang Lufei, worried that he would say something that would distance him from her.
Seeing Ain's worried expression, Wang Lufei continued, "That's right, I was thinking about little girls, I was thinking about you, Sister Ain.The reason I was so engrossed in thinking about you was because I was hesitating whether or not to tell you something."
Upon hearing Wang Luffy's words, Ain's expression went through a series of changes: worry, sadness, and joy.Finally, she said somewhat awkwardly, "Don't always comfort me with such lies."
Wang Lufei said directly, "Sister Ain, I really have something to tell you.After the ship returned to Marineford, I left the training camp and haven't seen you much since."
Hearing this, Ain seemed a little sad and silently lowered her head.
Seeing this, Wang Lufei continued, "That's why I've been thinking about whether to invite you to my ship.I'd like to invite you to be my helmsman and sail with me from now on."
After hearing this, Ain was initially delighted, but then hesitated before saying, "Luffy, I'm really happy to hear you say that."
But as you know, Instructor Zephyr has developed asthma, and he's finding it increasingly difficult to keep up with basic training.If I go with you again, he.
Before Ain could finish speaking, a voice suddenly came from behind, "Ain, come with Luffy.I'm not so old that I need my own students to help me teach.Your worries are completely unnecessary."
Ain turned around and saw Zephyr standing at the cabin door, smiling and talking to them.
Ain stammered, "Teacher, you, why are you here?What I just said."
Zefa let out a hearty laugh and said, "Hahaha, silly girl, you've been under my tutelage since you entered the training camp.I've long treated you like my daughter.Do you think I don't know what you're thinking?"
Honestly, don't worry about my health.My asthma only flares up when I'm out of breath during battle.I don't need you to do things like teaching students.Just relax and go with Luffy!
Ain was somewhat at a loss, unsure of what to say.At this moment, Wang Lufei weakly interjected,
"Teacher Zephyr, Sister Ain, please hear me out.I want to invite Sister Ain to my ship, but my ship won't be ready for another 5 years, which is when I'll be 16."
I will then take over my grandfather's position in the inspection team."The mission is officially set sail.So, Sister Ain, you can still stay with Teacher Zephyr for more than five years, there's no need to rush."
Zephyr chuckled upon hearing this and said, "If you hadn't said it, I would have almost thought you were already an adult.Alright, since Luffy has said so, there's no need to be so sentimental.Let's just let things take their course."
Hearing what the two said, Ain was relieved and nodded in agreement.
However, just as things quieted down a bit for Wang Lufei, a scream erupted from inside the cabin.
"Ah!" It was like a rooster crowing, shaking the entire ocean.
The group rushed to the source of the sound and, upon closer inspection, discovered that it was Weevil who had woken up and was nibbling on Miss.Bakin's feet.
Weevil was practically blind.In addition to the eyes that had been blown off earlier, the blinding flash of Thor's light had turned his eyes into cataracts, so he couldn't see if his mother was next to him.
Moreover, he was so hungry that he didn't care whether the person next to him was his mother or not, and he just started biting into her.
The unfortunate Miss Ba Jin awoke with a start from the excruciating pain in her foot and howled with all her might.
Seeing that Ba Jin was about to collapse, Wang Lufei knocked both of them unconscious with two punches and said, "Done."
They weren't separated into different cells afterward.The purpose was to test Ba Jin's limits.
Because when a person is tormented to the point that even death is a luxury, then he will agree to anything you ask.
