After that, Roland and the others left the forest and hurried straight in the direction of Windmill Village.

Unlike when he came here, the direction of return was directly towards Windmill Village, and he didn't encounter any fierce beasts, and in less than a day, Roland and his party returned to the vicinity of Windmill Village.

Before going out to sea, you naturally have to go to Magino's tavern.

Also, if you want to go to sea, you need to replenish fresh water and food.

However, only Roland and Merlin entered the village, while Waji and Xiaoyu remained on the boat and waited.

Before he could enter Magino's tavern, Roland heard laughter coming from inside, and the voice was somewhat familiar.

Roland grinned, pushed open the door and walked in.

Sure enough, not only Magino, but Luffy and the three were also inside.

"What a coincidence, seeing you again," Roland said first.

Luffy and the three of them were also a little surprised, waving and shouting, asking Roland and the others to join their "banquet" as well.

Magino also greeted Roland and them with a smile on his face, "I haven't seen you for a few days, and you're still on the island?" ”

After that, Roland and the two chatted with them.

However, after all, Waji and Xiaoyu were still waiting, and Roland couldn't delay too long, and after a brief chat, he informed them of the news that he was about to go to sea, saying that he had to leave.

They didn't stay long, and after the two sides said goodbye to each other, Luffy and the others continued to have a banquet, while Roland and Merlin continued to purchase supplies.

It didn't take long for Roland and the others to finish purchasing and rush directly to the ship.

And when they were shopping in the village, on the deck, because of the language barrier, Waji and Xiaoyu were silent, and the atmosphere was slightly awkward.

The key is that they can't be separated yet, after all, Xiaoyu is not familiar with the situation on the ship and doesn't dare to wander around, and Waji is also responsible for protecting Xiaoyu for the time being because of Roland's orders, and he can't go away either.

So, they could only endure the atmosphere, praying in their hearts that Roland would come back soon.

……

"We're back, nothing happened, did we?" Finally, Roland's voice rang out not far away, and they were back!

Waji turned his head a little excitedly, Xiao Yu also had a similar expression and movements, and the strange atmosphere on the ship dissipated instantly.

Roland didn't notice anything abnormal, and when he arrived at the side of the boat, he smiled and said, "Why don't you speak?" Nothing happened, did it? ”

"Roar! (Nope!) ）”

"Nothing happened."

Waji and Xiaoyu's voices rang out at the same time, and they both shook their heads vigorously.

"That's good," Roland continued, though he thought they were a little overexcited, and continued, "Waji is here to take care of it and put it all in the storage room. ”

Waji answered, took the pile of supplies Roland was carrying, and walked to the storage room.

"As for Xiaoyu, let Merlin take you to familiarize yourself with the situation in the cabin first," Roland looked away from Waji's back and looked at Xiaoyu and spoke.

"Hmm," Xiao Yu nodded slightly.

"By the way, you can choose whichever room you like, it's all empty anyway," Roland continued, then looked at Merlin, "I'll leave it to you." ”

Mei Lin naturally didn't have any opinions, nodded and boarded the ship, and walked to the cabin with Xiao Yu.

Roland was not idle, and began to check the condition of the ship, which was very important.

If you don't check it well, if something goes wrong with the ship at sea, you will have to replace it with a new one, as I said before, it will be very troublesome.

After checking, Waji had returned to the deck again, and Mei Lin and Xiaoyu had not yet come out.

"Put the anchor away," Roland said to Vaji, and he began to make other preparations for the voyage.

……

Finally, everything was ready, and Merlin and the others were back on deck.

"Have you already chosen?" Roland looked at Xiaoyu and asked.

"It's chosen, it's next to Sister Mei Lin," Xiaoyu said with a smile, obviously, she was very satisfied with her "new home".

Not noticing the change in her address to Merlin, Roland continued, "Although I have said it before, I will say it solemnly again...... Welcome to join us, Xiaoyu. ”

"Hmmm! Please look after me in the future! Captain Roland, Sister Merlin, and Wattie," Xiao Yu also grinned and bowed seriously.

"Each other, Xiaoyu," Merlin said with a smile.

"Roar! (Thank you for your kind attention!) Waji also roared, although Xiaoyu didn't understand, but what should be said still had to be said.

"Alright, the welcome is over, now let's take one last look at the island," Roland said as he walked towards the console, "Next, we're off to go!" ”

……

Two days later.

Maritime.

A ship was moving slowly, the sails were blank, and this was Roland's ship, of course.

At this time, Waji was the only one on the deck, fishing by the railing, and looking at his expression, it was obvious that he was bored.

So, what about the Roland trio?

Inside the training ground.

Mei Lin was holding a katana, swinging it again and again, and was doing boring basic training.

Not far away, Xiaoyu was also training, and Roland was guiding her on the side.

However, it's not the knife technique, but the physical technique.

It's not accurate to say that physical skills, what Roland taught her was actually the basic part of the additional skill [Fighting Intermediate].

Originally, it was primary, and Roland directly spent a thousand points of pure energy to upgrade to the intermediate level, and the result was the same as the swordsmanship skill, and the basic part did not change much, which made Roland feel a little lost.

However, everything has been upgraded, and the system cannot be returned, so Roland has to stop thinking about it.

The enhancement of the physical fitness of the animal-type devil fruit is indeed obvious, and after a day of rest, Xiaoyu's body has almost completely recovered.

After that, she took the initiative to ask Roland to teach her to practice, and she knew very well that whether it was to repay her kindness or to protect herself, she had to become stronger.

Roland had long planned to teach her to practice, but her worried body might not be able to stand it, and now that she took the initiative, Roland naturally would not refuse.

Then, there is the current scene.
