Chapter Sixty-Seven: Leaving Cocoa West Village
When night falls, after the weather clears, the bright moon pours countless moonflowers, like a thin veil on the earth, which is very beautiful and intoxicating.
The excitement of the banquet did not dissipate, and all the villagers fell asleep drunkenly and snored subtly.
In the hut next to the orange grove, the lights are on.
Mikul packed his clothes, "Nokigao, I'm leaving." β
Nuo Qigao recovered quickly under the increasingly skilled treatment of Keya, if it weren't for Gao's admonition and advice, she would have gotten out of bed and walked around, at this time she stood up, leaned her hands flat behind her head, and said calmly.
"You're leaving...... I would have expected such a day, but I'm afraid that after a long time, I can't help but miss you. β
"I've been here for more than a year, and I'm going to go back and take a ride on the red-nosed boat."
Nokigao looked at Mikul's busy back, "Aaron was defeated by that red-nosed Bucky, he came for Nami, what about you, why do you do this......"
"Hmph." Mikul snorted coldly.
"Who told that red nose to rob me of the credit! Originally, I had saved up 100 million berry to liberate the village, how did I know that it was a futile effort, and Aaron was not defeated by me, and the life-saving favor must not be paid off, Nami already hated pirates, and letting her be a pirate would definitely be more uncomfortable than taking her life, but if I went to replace her as a navigator, I could repay the favor, and second, she didn't have to be so painful and entangled, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds! β
Nuo Qigao shook his head, "I didn't plan to let you repay the favor, you just rely on it here every day, and no one will gossip about you......"
"The cat's reciprocation is not so casual! Anyway, I made an agreement with my red nose that as long as I could predict the timing of the opening and prove that I was a seafaring cat, he would agree to let me get on board. β
"I don't have the authority to call the shots for you...... What about Nami, does she know? β
Mikul stuck out his tongue, "I haven't told her yet, she'll find out when the time comes." β
Nuo Qigao smiled and didn't speak.
Early the next morning, Bucky summoned Kabaji, Mochi, Shuma, and Koya, hoisted the sails, put away the anchor, and left with the new sailors.
The BΓΌkudopp set off on the waves of the sea.
On the deck, Mikul said goodbye to everyone in Cocoa West Village with teary eyes, and waved his hand reluctantly, "Nami, Nokigao, Uncle Kin, everyone, take care!" β
Bucky squinted at the other party, and the night before, she suddenly came over, took out a book of her own random nautical notes to prove her excellence, and made a bet to predict the weather, and asked to replace Nami on the ship to become a navigator, and then dwelt on a series of convincing evidence, such as that she was from the New World, more familiar with the weather of the great voyage, and could not make mistakes when sailing.
That night, Bucky thought twice and agreed to the other party's request, and then the weather also cleared at the time that the other party expected, of course, Bucky still tried to get Nami on the ship, but in the case of not being able to return to his heart, the ship couldn't keep the other party after all, even if he still felt a little sorry in his heart, but in view of the achievement of the goal, he decided not to stay again.
Nami on the shore was preoccupied, and Bucky's story made her toss and turn all night, always feeling reasonable, and feeling very wrong, but her heart began to change a little about pirates, and there seemed to be wonderful people in it.
But even so, she didn't want to go on a strange ship and become partners with a group of strangers who didn't know if she could make friends, but when she finally learned that Mikul had replaced her as a crew member of the pirates, her heart was like overturning a spice bottle, with happiness, surprise, guilt, anxiety, and self-blame.
When she came back to her senses, Mikul had already left in her own hesitation, without a chance to negotiate, why not wait, maybe she could come up with a better way to let the pirate Bucky leave without any consideration......
But...... Will there be such people? Nami's gaze is hesitant, and she helps others with no reward and no hesitation, is there such a pirate in this world......
Nokigao, who was beside him, seemed to see Nami's thoughts, and put his right hand on the latter's shoulder, "I don't think he will be the first pirate to shock us, in the future, you will definitely be able to meet your favorite partner and help you fulfill your dream of painting the world!" β
β¦β¦
Mikul was still heartbroken, but as soon as he left the village of Cocoyasi, it was as if he had changed as a different person, and there was still a trace of tears, and he stretched out his index finger and kept poking Bucky's cheek.
"Rednose, I promised you to be the navigator of this ship, you must not fight Nami again, or I will not be finished with you, you know no, you know no, you know no!"
As he spoke, he seemed to think it was fun, and he couldn't stop poking his hand at all, but the more angry expressions appeared on his face.
Bucky gave her a blank look and threw a ball of yarn onto the deck.
"Curly ~ Roll ~ Roll ~ " Mikul's eyes burst into stars, and without hesitation, he pounced on the ball of yarn, and couldn't help but "enjoy" the ball of yarn on the deck, his body rolled around, and the cat's ears kept trembling.
Shuma slowly walked up to Mikul's side, crouched down, looked at the latter curiously, and stretched out a hand and touched Mikul's head.
Syllable!
His hand was only halfway out before it was mercilessly knocked off, and Mikul stared at the other man dissatisfied, pouting.
"Let me touch it, Bear."
Xiuma did not look discouraged in the slightest, and stretched out his hand again.
Syllable!
Slapped off mercilessly again, Mikul bared his teeth and claws, "Idiot, I'm a cat, I'm not a bear, I'm not a bear, I'm a cat!" β
"Hey, it's not a bear, it's a panda?"
"It's a cat, it's a cat, it's a cute cat!"
"Oh......"
Xiuma didn't care what the other party wanted to say, and at some point took out a branch and poked the ants on the deck that came from nowhere, "Come and play with ants, it's fun!" β
"Playing with ants, yes, yes~" Mikul subconsciously raised a smile and responded happily, but as soon as the words came out of her mouth, she realized that something was wrong, disgusted the floor, and pouted, "Don't treat me as a child-"
The weather was just right, Keya sat on the chair on the deck, looked through a few medical books given by Nagao, and looked back at Mikul who was playing with Xiu Ma from time to time, and smiled, although I don't know how Uncle Bucky abducted this little cat onto the boat, but this atmosphere makes people feel very warm and comfortable, En...... This ship is indeed a very interesting ship.
