Chapter 64: Out to Sea
Three days later, in the early morning, in front of Nami's house.
Galen knocked softly on the door, and shouted inside:
"Nami, it's time to go!"
The door opened suddenly, and the sleepy-eyed Nami stood in front of Galen in a loose pajamas:
"Go? Where to? ”
Nami tugged at her too-open collar slightly, and the movement was too violent, and she was involved in the fresh wound she had left from modifying her tattoo.
The hot feeling hurt so much that Nami woke up from her half-asleep state.
On the first day after the fall of the Dragon Pirates, Nami went to the tattoo artist at the head of the village to exchange the dragon stamp on her arm for her favorite windmill orange pattern.
"Go to sea and go on an adventure!"
Galen said seriously:
"Wallace is almost ready, you should hurry up and pack your things!"
With that, Galen walked into Nami's house and sat down on the sofa in the living room:
"I'm waiting for you here."
Nokigao was preparing breakfast at home, and when he saw Galen, he greeted him with a smile and a smile.
After three days together, Galen and Nami's hometown relatives have become very familiar.
"Humph!"
Nami looked at Galen's familiar appearance, but she raised her eyebrows and gave birth to a little inexplicable little emotion out of thin air:
"Pack something?"
"I don't think I'm your official crew yet!"
"Huh?"
Galen was slightly stunned, with some surprise on his face:
"Isn't it? I thought..."
Although they haven't been together for a long time, Galen feels that his relationship with Nami should be a matter of course.
"Speaking of which..."
Nami, however, changed her tone and asked Galen a vague-sounding question:
"What's your dream?"
"Dreams?"
Galen was even more stunned, unable to answer for a long time.
One of the things that is so strange about this world is that almost everyone can open their mouths and shout a clear dream.
Draw a chart of the world, become the world's number one swordsman, be a pirate king, be a naval admiral... These dreams are all different.
And Galen, like most people in his previous life, was a salted fish without dreams.
Probably only the world of manga will be like this.
People in the real world are tired enough just living, so how can they have so much time to dream?
"You don't even know what your dreams are..."
Nami looked directly into Galen's eyes, and her tone was very aggressive:
"Let me follow you to the sea, where are you going to take me?"
"I...."
Galen couldn't organize the vocabulary, so he had to bite the bullet and say, "Let's go to sea first." ”
"Cut!"
Nami glanced at Galen with disdain, and said unceremoniously, "You'd better go to sea by yourself!" ”
"No!"
Galen's expression suddenly became firm, and he looked at Nami with burning eyes and said:
"I want you to go to sea with me."
Nami's deliberately cold face was slightly hot when Galen saw it, and pouted again, "Why? ”
"Because..."
Galen dragged on a long, long tail note, but there was no follow-up.
Nami's face gradually blushed during this short wait, and a few hints of anticipation flashed in her opal-like eyes.
I only heard Galen say seriously:
"Because I can't sail a boat."
"You!"
Nami turned her head away angrily, deliberately ignoring Galen.
Galen got up and went out without any delay, and turned his head to leave a sentence:
"I'm waiting for you at the docks, hurry up!"
"Soul light! How can there be such a captain! ”
Nami stamped her foot in shame, just looking at Galen's back and sulking alone.
Nuo Qigao was smiling and silent, she had already seen her sister very clearly:
This is no small mood between a navigator and a captain.
.................................................................
A sloop is quietly docked at the pier.
This is the sea boat that Galen asked the villagers of Cocosia for a small but good quality, which is suitable for a small group like Galen, which is short on manpower.
Galen and Wallace had boarded the sailboat with their luggage and waved goodbye to the villagers who had come up from the docks to see them off.
After a long time, the villagers returned to the village, and the sun rose higher and higher overhead.
But the boat never left the dock because there was still one person missing.
After waiting a little longer, Galen turned to Wallace and said:
"Let's raise the sails first!"
"When Nami comes, we'll be able to go straight away."
"This...?"
Wallace asked with some concern:
"Is Galen-sama so sure Miss Nami will come?"
"She doesn't seem to have said explicitly that she wants to follow you to sea, right?"
"Yes!"
Galen nodded confidently and smiled softly:
"The girl is embarrassed to say with a thin face."
"But when I went to Nami's house in the morning, I found that her luggage had been packed and put in the living room."
"I see."
Wallace nodded, and scrambled to help Galen hoist the sails.
As soon as the little sail was raised, the whole sailboat was moved slowly by the wind, and it was only by the cable tied to the pier that it did not break away.
But it didn't take long for a violent demonic wind to work.
The gale lifted the boat so hard that the sails swelled to the fullest, and in an instant exerted a tremendous force that actually stretched the knot of the cable alive.
"Oops!"
Galen secretly thought that something was wrong, and he finally realized what the nine knots that Nami had taught him to tie had done before.
Unfortunately, Galen did not have time to regret his carelessness, and the small boat had been blown out to sea by the gust of wind for a long distance.
"What?"
Nami, who had just rushed to the dock after saying goodbye to her relatives, looked stunned, and couldn't help but throw all the big bags and luggage on the ground:
"This soul fade really left me and ran away?!"
But after a few moments...
The little sailboat was speeding back to the dock, and Galen's figure on board clearly appeared in front of Nami.
"Nami!"
Galen hurriedly put away the sail rope and greeted Nami happily:
"I've been waiting for you for a long time!"
"You..."
Nami used her talent as a genius navigator to feel the strange direction of the sudden change, and said angrily:
"You were blown back by the wind, right?"
"Haha..."
Galen smiled a little awkwardly, "I said I wouldn't sail." ”
"How can you sail like you against the wind!"
Nami clasped her hands to her chest and habitually said to Galen Kop:
"If you want to sail against the wind, you have to keep the sail and the wind in a zigzag shape at an acute angle, and use the vertical component of the wind on the sail. But this angle must be well controlled, not too big and not too small, it is best to keep it at an angle of about 22 degrees. ”
"If you want to accelerate, you can't rely on the thrust of the wind alone. You also have to adjust the course of the sailboat so that the sail forces the wind to change direction, and the wind gives the sail a reaction force..."
"Well..."
Seeing that this topic was about to become a popular science lecture on the Bernoulli effect, Galen's expression quickly became solemn.
He expressed his feelings after class word by word:
"If you don't understand, don't talk about it."
"You!"
Nami sighed softly, picked up her luggage on the ground and stepped onto Galen's small sailboat.
She casually took her luggage to the side of the boat, and said helplessly:
"I really can't help you!"
"Do as I tell you to do what I tell you to do the sails!"
Under the command of Nami, a nautical expert, the small sailing ship at the mercy of the sea breeze finally managed to sail out of the dock in the village of Cocoasi.
The scenery of her hometown is finally gone, and what appears in Nami's eyes is a new world.
"Galen..."
Nami looked at the vast sea ahead and asked again:
"Have you found what your dream is?"
"Dreams?"
Galen and Nami stood side by side in the bow of the boat, their voices full of confidence:
"I don't have that kind of ethereal thing, I just know where I'm going next."
"Where are you going?"
Nami was a little curious.
Galen thought of his own knightly name, which had already begun to be praised in the East Sea, and replied without hesitation:
"Go cut down a scumbag."
"Who?"
Nami asked with interest.
Galen found a not-so-brilliant name from his memories:
"A man with five thousand experienced babies under his command."
