Chapter 22: Sensationalism [Third Update!]

"Hey, I said—"

Sauron gasped for breath, clutching the wound in his abdomen in pain and muttering to the woman in front of him

"Don't bother, Luffy can't be in a place like this..."

"Nonsense!"

Nami turned her head angrily, and her little face flashed with a hint of determination

"I haven't looked for it, how do you know!"

"Don't talk big over there!"

Grunt...

The broken stones slid down as the girl rummaged, and after a while, they piled up on the side to form a hill

"Where, Luffy, where..."

"Is it here... No... Is it here..."

The girl just squinted, tears mixed with dust slid down her dirty face and flowed into her mouth, a hot feeling

"Hey, hey, hey..."

Kirby on the side suddenly laughed, pointed to his knees, and sat on the ground

"Let her find it, it is estimated that it will not be long before someone is going to be unlucky. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info”

"Hey, you bad-minded guy..."

Zoro also pouted helplessly, examining the wound in his abdomen

Of course he knew what Kirby meant, no matter how much of a mess the nervous captain had tore up

At this time, finding a place to recuperate is the right way

"Let's go, go to the nearest house..."

[This is no longer a situation that I can manage]

[Luffy, this guy...]

After a while, as if they coincided, the two disappeared

Nami managed so much, but she kept rummaging through the ruins, her fingertips oozing blood, but she still muttered that she didn't know what she was talking about

"Luffy... Luffy..."

"Cold-blooded guy!"

Looking back at the empty corner, there was no trace of the two of them except for the pool of blood left on the ground

"Sure enough, the pirates are all cold-blooded guys, and their own captain has obviously been... Already..."

"No way!"

[Only he is different, only him!]

Nami rolled up her sleeves, wiped her little face, and wiped away her tears

"Luffy, where are you!

...

Look to the other corner

In an ordinary hut, a man in a straw hat is frantically ingesting the energy from meat

"Ahh

As if ordinary chewing could no longer satisfy the man's stomach, the man simply unleashed the power of the Devil Fruit, and exerted his hands, feet, and mouth to an incredible degree, sweeping away all the food on the table as far as the eye could see

"Hiccup!"

Finally, the man who was full of wine and food lay on the wooden Taishi chair and stroked his stomach happily

"Finally full! It's time to fight!"

If it's not Luffy, who else could it be?

Stretching his arms exaggeratedly, stretching his waist and stretching his hands and feet to an incredible degree, Luffy looked left and right in confusion

"By the way, where have all the owners of this room gone?"

...

The Bucky Pirates

An hour after the bombing

The pirates were bustling with each other to set up makeshift tents, but the depleted ammunition depot could not be returned

Even the few dozen rounds of bucky shells turned into smoke in that fire

As for the captain of the pirates, Bucky, he was sitting upright on the dilapidated chaise longue, quietly tossing the short knife in his hand

"Is it coming, Mochi!"

"Yes! Captain Bucky!"

In a puff of smoke and dust, I saw a sturdy uncle riding on the head of an exaggerated lion, and said with a calm face

"May I go and fetch that boy's head, Captain?"

"Okay, let's go!"

...

"Hey, I'm so full!"

On the broken streets, Luffy patted his stomach and strolled around the ruins

"Where did those two guys go? Oh, by the way, and Miss Navigator, they must have been saved together!"

Luffy gritted his teeth and scratched his head

He knew all about Sauron's abilities

As for Kirby, he should be hiding somewhere

"Don't worry, Kirby, after this while, let's go look for the Devil Fruit, you will definitely become as strong as your captain and me!"

"Speaking of Zoro, that guy..."

"Man..."

What... Isn't that Nami, who seems to be looking for something?

"Hey, Nami, what are you looking for? Do you want help?"

“――!”

Nami looked up in disbelief as a familiar voice came from behind her

"Road—"

No, it's not!

"You guy!"

Almost instantly, the skyrocketing rage swept through every corner of Nami's body!

"You bastard!"

"Smack!"

Almost without hesitation, a loud slap slapped Luffy in the face, and the thick ash smeared a black mark on the boy's face

"Hey..."

In the hut on the side, Kebi, who was sitting in front of the window with one hand on his forehead, looked at the two of them outside the window with an expected expression

"This is youth..."

...

"Why are you only showing up now, you know me... I..."

I don't know when I can't say a word anymore, and no matter how hard my choked throat tries, it can't make a sound

Nami covered her cheeks with both hands, leaving no gaps, but hot tears could not stop sliding down her fingers

"I..."

"I'm sorry..."

Luffy lowered his head, his straw hat covering his face, and he didn't know what expression he was

The boy held the crooked straw hat in one hand and lowered the brim, not knowing where to look

"I'm sorry..."

"I... I don't know..."

"Leave it to me!"

The girl's heart-rending cry was well concealed by the angry roar, but the tears pierced the boy's heart like pins and needles

"Bastard, you kind of guy, just die, die ten thousand times!

Nami, who is naïve, how can she know that the two people just now are telling the truth, although she is sneaking and robbing, and she does everything, but after all, she is just a child who has no experience in the world

[Damn! Damn!]

[How could I be so stupid as to want to save a pirate!A dead pirate!]

Smack!

The girl did not hesitate, turned her head and left, but the next second, she crashed into a warm embrace

"Sorry, I was wrong"

Although the boy's way of apologizing was weak, as if he was trying to escape something, the girl, who was already weak, still couldn't move a little, and wanted to escape from this embrace

"Bastard... Bastard..."

The girl's weak hands slammed into the boy's chest as if she were venting

It's hard to imagine what kind of torture such a delicate pair of hands have just experienced to become like this

The rocks piled up on one side of the hill were set aside at random, but they were like meteorites that smashed into the boy's heart

pain

Unforgettable pain

Now, the delicate hands were no longer smooth, but rough, and the boy grasped the girl's hand tightly for the first time

"Whew-whew-"

"Does it hurt... It hurts..."

The big boy with a big grin, but at this moment, he seemed to have changed as if he had changed, and he blew lightly into the gap between the girl's hands, for fear that a slightly heavier tone would disturb the girl in front of him

"You're my scheduled navigator, and no one can hurt you!"

The boy lowered his gaze and said exclamations in a calm tone

"Don't.. Make no mistake!"

"I just don't want to owe you a favor!"

...
