Chapter 103: Challenging The Fourth Emperor—

Editor: OusSama

...

"Nami do you want to win that intermediate resurrection scroll and resurrect Bell-mère?"

As Nami's older sister, how can Nojiko not know the meaning of Nami's words?

Once, Bell-mère voluntarily sacrificed herself in order to save her and Nami.

Now it is normal for Nami to want to obtain items that can resurrect Bell-mère.

"Yeah!" Nami nodded heavily, "Teacher Rifan's ranking is too high to challenge Shanks."

"And my ranking is 5th place it is possible to challenge Shanks to win his predetermined reward."

Hearing this Nojiko frowned.

"But with your current strength it's not enough to defeat Shanks, one of the Four Emperors."

"Moreover, even if you defeat Shanks you will be offending Red Hair Pirates and the members of the Roger Pirates."

"They will not give up and there will definitely be others who will challenge your ranking."

Although Nojiko wanted to bring Bell-mère back to life, she didn't want Nami to take such a big risk.

Now that the village has finally escaped from the control of the Arlong Pirates, they can finally live freely, and Nojiko doesn't want anything to happen to Nami.

"But it's not easy to have such an opportunity."

"And this may be the only time I can get close to the resurrection items. If I give up now, I will regret it for the rest of my life." 

Nami pursed her lips and placed her left hand on the Nichirin Blades around her waist involuntarily.

"Nojiko I have decided, I am going to challenge Shanks!"

"If something happens to me, please take care of Teacher Rifan."

"Help me tell him that I am really happy to meet him and I really like him."

"If possible I really want to be his wife. Huh? Nojiko why do you look like that?"

Nami was speaking firmly and suddenly found that Nojiko was looking at her with a very strange expression.

This feeling was as if Nojiko was looking at something or someone behind her?

Nami quickly turned around and found Rifan whom she was talking about just now, standing in front of her at this moment.

"Teacher Rifan!! when did you come here!?"

"Did you hear what I've said just now?!"

In an instant, Nami's face was stained with a red glow and it spread directly to the roots of her ears.

"You love your teacher I am very touched."

"However, if you make such a big decision withing telling me then I guess you don't see me as a teacher in your eyes."

Rifan walked to Nami's side raised his hand and tapped her on the forehead.

"Sorry Teacher Rifan, I only…"

"Now you remember that I am your teacher?" Rifan flicked Nami's forehead again, "Since you remember who's your teacher and you want to challenge Shanks, why didn't you talk to me?"

"You forgot this challenge will last a full month."

"We can take advantage of this time to train you to become stronger."

"As long as you work hard enough, you can definitely take your kendo to the next level."

"At that time, even if you face Shanks you will have the power to fight."

Nami's kendo has reached a bottleneck. Taking advantage of this time period, Rifan can just open the epiphany room for Nami to train.

As long as no one challenges Nami and make her to leave the epiphany room during this period, Rifan was confident that she would fully comprehend the Six Realms Five Rings - The Divine Figure of Kurikara which is to reach the zero realms of kendo.

"Yes, I can train with teacher Rifan first and then go to Shanks to challenge him!" Hearing Rifan's words, Nami finally realized her msitake.

"Although it is important to resurrect your loved ones, the swordsman's state of mind must always be firm and steady." Rifan folded his arms and looked at Nami with a serious face "If I hadn't arrived in time, you might have challenged Shanks and end up defeated miserably."

Rifan knows his disciples' capabilities the best.

If he let's Nami fight against an admiral candidate like Momousagi Gion, her chances of victory will be great but against one of the Four Emperors Shanks who is two or three times stronger than Momousagi Gion, Nami has no chance of victory at all.

Even though the results of her training in Observation Haki and Armament Haki are both good, the amount is still far behind.

'Resurrection item, can I also get resurrection items to make my mother come back to life?'

Behind Rifan, Robin thought to herself.

"… Teacher Rifan, let's train now!"

Nami excitedly took Rifan's hand and said.

"Don't be in a hurry." Rifan turned his body sideways so that Nami could see the person behind him, "Before that, come and meet your fellow disciple."

"You have already seen Vivi. The ones here are Nico Robin from the Drum Kingdom and Yamato from Wanokuni."

"As for this one… Rifan put his hand on Sadi-chan's shoulder, "She is in the same situation as Nojiko so she can be regarded as my alternate disciple. "

"Speaking of which Sadi ate Dark Fruit, Nojiko your fruit is Shock Fruit."

"Maybe the two of you can communicate more and train your devil fruit abilities together."

Sadi smiled and waved to both Nojiko and Nami.

"Hello, you two. I'm glad to meet you. From now on, everyone will be a family. Let's get along well."

"After all, like you, Miss Nami I also like Teacher Rifan very much.

After her words were over, Sadi clasped Rifan's arm tightly in her arms. 

Nami: "-_-"
