"Come back and play when you have time!"

The islanders gathered on the shore and watched them board the battleship, waving goodbye incessantly.

"Well, I'll definitely come and play when I have time!"

Uta and Nami wave goodbye to the people of Clockwork Island.

"That boy is unexpectedly gifted, and has a lot of new ideas...... "Mayor Mare said to his wife, looking at the departing ships.

"It's set sail again, let's go home first!" Luffy sat on the bow of the machine boat, lying down with a grin.

"Well, go home, go home!" Nami cheered happily.

"Unconsciously, it's been a year." Bermel, with a brand-new machine gun in his bare hand, inspected the fire.

"It's a good feeling to sail on the sea, you don't get tired, you can go wherever you want." Nami holds the chart and looks at it.

"Hmm...... When I think about it, there is one more thing to settle accounts with my grandfather. ”

Luffy took out the phone bug and called his grandfather.

"What's wrong?" Uta asked.

"It's about last year's report." He said.

"Staying on Clockwork Island for so long shouldn't make a difference, but I still have to ask Grandpa what the hell is going on!"

The phone call went through, and the snail looked very bad.

"Luffy, it's been a long time since I've called my grandfather!"

The phone worm snail buttoned his nose.

"Because I've been playing on Clockwork Island for a long time, Grandpa, what the hell is going on with that!"

"What's the matter? Did something happen? Karp looked confused.

"That's the thing about the hero title!" Luffy walks on a narrow fence.

"Oh, what about that? It's a trivial matter, and why are you only asking now, it's all from last year. ”

"That's because I forgot about it while I'm still traveling on the island, it's not too late to say, it's very dangerous, what if the pirates assassinate me!"

"Grandpa will burn incense for you, so it's okay."

"Bastard grandpa!"

"There's no way, a lot of bad things happened last year, and there was no good news, so I had to use you as a platoon, isn't it good to be a hero?"

"I don't want to be a hero!"

"It's come to this, and it can't be changed, let's take it first, grandpa, I still have to take over the king, so I won't have so much to do with you." Karp said, buttoning his nose.

"Pick up the king?"

"Well, I'm going to the World Conference, this kind of thing is so troublesome, I'm going to Alabastan to pick up the royal family to the Holy Land of Mary Joa......" Karp said without much energy.

"It's too painful."

That is, to go to the Great Passage?

"Grandpa, take me to see it too, I want to see the legendary Great Passage!" Luffy said thinking about the Great Fairway.

"Hmm...... Are you coming? Karp scratched his head.

"Come on, then, I'll wait for you in Alabastan, turn over from the Red Earth." Karp pondered for a few seconds and agreed to Luffy's request.

"Is there still time?"

"It's okay, we were supposed to move ahead of time, and it will take a lot of time to get to Alabastan, and the royal family will have to wait for a while before escorting Mary Joy...... It's okay if you come slowly. ”

Click.

The phone bug ended the call.

"Okay, everyone, let's go to Alabastan together!"

Luffy held the phone bug and looked at everyone.

"Are you going to Alabastan?" Nami looked at the charts.

"That's on the Great Passage, we don't know what's on the Great Passage."

Nami said.

"It's okay, just go home and rest, and then go to Rogue Town and ask for the navy over there." Luffy clasped his hands to his chest and smiled excitedly.

"What a curiosity, Great Passage!"

"It's not a good area, and there are a lot of scary rumors." Bermel lit a lady's cigarette and walked to the side.

"It's okay, my grandfather will pick me up over there."

"Luffy's grandfather......" Lady Nami thought about it as she stood aside.

"Oh, when I see my grandfather, I'll ask him to give me a birthday present!" Uta said.

"But it's your birthday, isn't it?" Nami wondered.

"Hmph, because, that grandpa always likes to play Luffy when he's fine!"

"Luffy was beaten and cried, as a sister, I want to avenge him!" Uta said cheerfully.

"Hey, Uta, there's no need to stress about this kind of thing!" Luffy shouted with his fists clenched.

"Did Luffy get beaten and cried?" Nami looked at Luffy.

"Forget! Just forget about this kind of thing! ”

Luffy's fists are hard.

"No way, grandpa's fist is too foul......"

"Good girl, my sister will protect you!" Uta touched Luffy's head and said.

The speed of going back was significantly faster, because everyone had visited the islands along the way, and there was no need to make too many stops.

Only a few islands would stop for the necessary supplies, and the speed of moo would allow it to sail at full fire.

Armored Iron Bull, full speed ahead!

……

Back in Cocoa West Village, Nami, Bermel, and Nokigao were all obviously much more relaxed, "Home, home!" ”

Nami and Noki ran on the yellow-colored road, rushing to the duplex villa area on the outskirts, Belmel walking behind, "Be careful, don't fall!" ”

"Are you back, Bermel, you've all been out for a year!"

Ah Kin greets Belmel.

"Well, many, many things have happened...... "Bermel said with a laugh.

"See, that boy has defeated a lot of exaggerated pirates, and they have all been reported as heroes, and your ship has changed a lot." Ah Kin looked at the machine boat docked on the shore.

"Do you want to go out?" He asked.

"Yes, I want to go to the Great Passage, that dangerous place, I really can't worry that the children will go alone." Bermel said.

"Are you going there? That dangerous pirate graveyard ......"

Uta looked at them happily, but her mood gradually dropped, and she reached out and grabbed the wrist of the boy in front of her.

Two rabbit ears with hair hanging down.

"What's wrong? Uta. Luffy asked, looking at the girl's declining mood.

He grabbed Uta's palms in a reverse direction, his fingers interlocked, palms together.

"......" The girl shook her head.

Luffy could only return a gentle smile.

In the evening, everyone spent the night in the villa.

Uta looked at the moonlight by the window, and her loneliness couldn't help but rise, and finally she couldn't help but put on her fluttering skirt again, and walked in the empty villa, the wooden staircase spiraling up.

Uta climbed the stairs and finally stood outside Luffy's room, knocking lightly on the wooden door, "Luffy, are you sleeping?" ”

After a moment's wait, the door opened.

"Luffy... I miss home. Uta bit her lip and whispered.

The girl's eyes trembled slightly, and she couldn't contain her homesickness.

Especially when I saw Nami and Nokigao happily set foot on their homeland.

"Yes, Uta has been out for a long time." Luffy said in understanding.
