022 Kaya's Shyness, A Distress Signal From The Sea

Three ships sailed through wind and waves, heading towards their final destination, the village of Cocoyasi.

On the Merry, Luffy sat cross-legged at the bow, gazing into the distance.

The vast sea stretched out before him, under a clear sky.

He glanced at the system.

[Adventure Coins]: 950

"It's almost over a thousand, time to spend some."

He opened the adventure shop and took a moment to choose among the ten items.

[Haki Fruit]: 200 adventure coins

[Six Styles Fruit]: 100 adventure coins

[Lifespan Fruit]: 100 adventure coins

Minus 400 adventure coins, leaving 550.

"I still haven't seen a ship refresh. Are ships really rare items? There are plenty of other strange things though."

Luffy thought to himself.

He opened his mouth and ate a Haki Fruit. Since his Conqueror's Haki had already awakened, this time it was just to increase his proficiency.

And the randomly obtained Haki was... Conqueror's!

After silently digesting it, Luffy slowly opened his eyes and muttered to himself, "I feel like even if I eat three or four more, I won't need Kaido anymore. I'll be able to master 'Haki Entanglement'..."

Haki Fruit is really a good thing, cheap and practical.

As for the Lifespan Fruit, it wouldn't hurt to have more. He ate it on the spot, increasing his lifespan by 1.

Afterwards, the lifespan displayed on the system panel changed to 72.

He aimed to reach a hundred years as soon as possible.

"As for the last Six Styles Fruit..."

Luffy held the remaining fruit in his hand and pondered.

He decided to give it to Nami.

He wanted to conduct an experiment.

According to the function settings of the Great Adventure System, cultivating crew members would also reward adventure coins.

But when he had Nami eat a Six Styles Fruit before, allowing her to master Shave, there was no corresponding feedback.

Perhaps she needed to master all six styles?

Or maybe using items from the adventure shop for cultivation wouldn't have this kind of feedback.

Therefore, he was also teaching Zoro Haki to serve as a control group.

Once Zoro awakened any kind of Haki and Nami fully mastered the six styles,

This question would probably have an answer.

Just as he was thinking, he heard a slight movement behind him.

Luffy turned his head to look.

He saw Usopp, who had been unconscious, rubbing his head and slowly waking up.

"You're awake."

"Luffy? Where is this...?"

Usopp looked around, the vast sea, the exciting sea!

Luffy laughed and jumped down from the Merry's figurehead. "You've been unconscious for two hours. It's noon now."

"My head hurts. I hit a rock earlier." Usopp winced in pain.

"Are you hungry?" Luffy asked with concern.

"Now that you mention it, my stomach is growling."

"If your stomach is growling, then hurry up and cook."

"What?!" Usopp widened his eyes and said incredulously, "I'm injured, you know?"

"You don't think I can cook, do you? I'm the captain!"

Luffy patted Usopp's shoulder with a serious expression.

Hearing this, Usopp sighed, then smiled proudly and pointed to himself with his thumb.

"I can't do anything about you. Since that's the case, I have to show you the culinary skills I've honed for 50 years! The Great Chef Usopp!"

"Oh, go ahead."

Half an hour later.

On the Merry, in the dining room.

Luffy expressionlessly put down the ladle in his hand.

"So, how is it? My stewed potatoes and meat?" Usopp asked proudly.

"Um... I suddenly remembered that Nami has something important to discuss with me!"

Luffy silently got up and quickly escaped from the devil's kitchen.

It's not that you can't eat it, it's just that compared to Nami's cooking skills, it's a lot worse.

Let's go find dear Nami and have a meal together!

With a swoosh, he leaped from the Merry to the Sunny.

No one on the deck.

Luffy walked into the activity room and happened to see Nami cooking in the kitchen.

Immediately, he restrained his breath and silently approached, hugging Nami from behind.

"Ah~"

Nami let out a cute scream and almost spilled the hot oil from the pot.

When she turned her head, she saw Luffy and scolded angrily, "What are you doing, scaring people!"

Luffy sniffed the fragrant hair and couldn't help but laugh, kissing her.

"Mmm!?"

Having had previous experiences, Nami didn't resist and quickly softened in his embrace.

The two of them completely lost themselves.

Suddenly, a suppressed exclamation came.

Nami stiffened and quickly pushed Luffy away, only to see Miss Kaya outside the kitchen.

Her face quickly turned red.

"Um..."

Kaya's face also turned slightly red as she explained in a low voice, "I just finished packing and thought maybe I could help... I'm sorry, I didn't mean to disturb you!"

Then she shyly ran away.

"Shy, huh?" Luffy laughed.

Nami punched his chest in embarrassment, "It's all your fault, idiot!"

How embarrassing, I hope no one saw our expression just now...

Luffy magically took out the six styles fruit

"Don't make a fuss, I've spent another 10 years of my life to get this for you."

Seeing the familiar six styles fruit, Nami was stunned for a moment and felt deeply moved.

Although she thought the idea of sacrificing ten years of life was nonsense, she believed that this fruit must be very precious.

Apart from her sister and mother, this was the third person who had been so good to her.

Nami felt her heart melting.

"Thank you, Luffy."

She didn't know how many times she had said thank you, but this time Nami didn't refuse. She reached out and took the fruit, then took the initiative to kiss Luffy.

Then she pushed him away with a smile and said, "Go out, don't disturb me while I'm cooking!"

"I want stewed meat with potatoes."

"Yes, yes~"

Helplessly leaving the kitchen, Luffy walked to the deck and saw Kaya standing by the side of the ship, her golden hair blowing freely in the gentle sea breeze.

The corner of his eye seemed to notice Luffy, and Kaya turned slightly, apologizing shyly, "I'm sorry..."

"How does it feel to be in the outside world?"

Luffy shook his head, not caring. So what if someone saw them kissing? It's not a big deal.

"I feel better, for the first time I feel like the world is so big, the sea is really vast."

Kaya smiled slightly, as if the sea breeze had healed her condition. Although Usopp used to talk to her and tell her some interesting adventure stories, being in it was obviously more enjoyable.

"The journey will eventually come to an end, you can calm down and slowly appreciate the scenery along the way."

Luffy walked over and stood side by side with Kaya.

With a girl like her, of course, he had to use more artistic words, not like when he was with Nami, making jokes.

"Yes, Mr. Luffy." Kaya nodded in agreement.

"Call me Luffy, or Captain... Huh?"

Suddenly, Luffy squinted his eyes slightly and looked at the distant sea.

He saw a ship.

There seemed to be someone on the ship, signaling with flags.

"Kaya, do you understand flag signals? What does that mean?"

"I'm sorry, I don't understand...

"

The two of them looked at each other, looking confused.
