Pirates: My Cool and Handsome Captain

I didn't know what Luo and Ace went out for that day. I didn't see them come back until noon the next day.

After dinner, Nami came with Robin, carrying a bunch of things.

"Doria, I heard you woke up. Let's go shopping together today. It must be boring to stay in the house all the time, right?"

I sat up straight immediately. My waist had become stiff from sleeping on the hard tatami every day. Even though I laid out two quilts, I still felt uncomfortable.

Ikaku and Anko were here with me. She said hesitantly, "Do you want to take another day off? You—"

I blocked her mouth and said, "I really can't stand it if I keep sleeping. Let's just go out for a walk. We're not going out to fight. Can we go together? We haven't really seen Wano Country since we came here."

Ikaku was very excited. No woman can resist the temptation of shopping.

Robin sat next to Red Bean and started playing with it. Nami opened the things she brought, which contained several beautiful kimonos and various hairpins and jewelry.

"Come here, this is what Princess Hiyori and I got. Pick out the ones you like and put them on. Then we can go out together."

Nami laid out the things. There were four women in the room, and except for Robin who occasionally gave suggestions, the other three women were already immersed in the dress-up game.

Finally, I changed into a cherry blossom pink kimono, and tied my hair up with a few gold hairpins. Ikaku chose a light blue kimono, and tied her curly hair behind her head. I picked out a gold hairband to help her tie it up.

Nami helped me put my clothes in order: "I heard that Doria is doing very well in the red-light district under the alias Little Pearl."

I put the fan on my waist and smiled: "I just went out to play for a few days, it's not that exaggerated."

Four people and one snake were walking on the streets of Wano Country. The Flower Capital was as lively as ever, but there were more smiles on the faces of the pedestrians on both sides. The people setting up stalls were busy with their own business. Children were running around with various foods in their hands, and you could hear them discussing enthusiastically what had happened recently.

The Flower City was decorated with lights and colors, and the decorations used for the previous fire festival had not yet been put away.

I've heard that Sanji had set up a noodle stall in the Flower Capital before. Today, I finally had time to go and take a look. From a distance, I saw Sanji wearing a yellow striped kimono and flirting with a beautiful girl from Wano Country.

"Sanji!!" Nami greeted Sanji.

"Ms. Nami, Ms. Robin," Sanji left the beautiful woman beside him and ran over, "Ms. Doria, it's really nice to see you safe and healthy. I wonder if there's a chance to buy you a drink? Ah! There's another unknown lady here, how about joining us?"

Nami punched Sanji on the head twice: "Hey, hey, hey! Do you think you are Zoro?! Dorea just woke up from an injury, what do you want to do?!"

"I'm sorry! Miss Nami, I was wrong." Sanji apologized immediately and was upset at Nami's unilateral beating.

Ikaku didn't understand them and looked at Sanji with a frown as if he was a pervert.

I explained in a low voice: "Sanji is just a little lacking, he is actually a good guy, that was just his habit just now, he is usually like that..."

Ikaku looked at him with even more disgust. It’s over. The more he talked, the more something seemed wrong.

I shut up awkwardly.

We sat in front of Sanji's noodle stall and he brought a bowl of noodle soup to the four of us. The hot chicken noodle soup was delicious.

I was slurping my noodles when someone sat down in the empty seat next to me.

"Boss! I want ten bowls!"

I looked at the person who came speechlessly. Who was I thinking? It turned out to be you, the big eater, Ace.

Compared to the embarrassing scene yesterday, I glanced at him without saying anything and lowered my head to continue eating noodles.

Ace came closer to me: "Come on, Doria, why do you look unhappy when you see me?"

Am I happy?!

I asked, "You have nothing to do? Why are you here?"

"Oh, they think I always start fires and won't let me help." Ace picked up a bowl of noodles and ate it. While eating, he said to me: "I didn't expect to meet you guys when we were shopping together...hiss! So hot and delicious!"

"It's delicious, eat more." Sanji said, holding a big spoon and smoking a cigarette, "Luffy and Green Algae Head haven't woken up yet?"

"Yeah, I slept well, don't worry."

I raised my hand: "Sanji-kun, I'd like a bowl of noodle soup, thank you!"

"It's my honor to serve Miss Doria~ Wait a moment!" Sanji went to serve the soup.

Ace came closer again: "I didn't mean to do that yesterday. I heard you woke up and wanted to go over to check. Alas, your captain has such a bad temper. I didn't see anything. He even stabbed me with a knife yesterday. I've been avoiding him today." He covered his face with his hand and said, "I admit that Trafalgar is good-looking, but have you really decided that he will be your partner for the rest of your life? There are many good men on the sea, such as Marco. He is--"

Without waiting for him to finish, I picked up a bowl of noodles from the table and poured the noodles into his mouth.

"What nonsense are you talking about?! I like him like that. Why didn't he just kill you yesterday? You unlucky brother?!"

Ace was choking and Sanji happened to come over with two bowls of noodle soup. Ace snatched them and poured them into his own mouth.

Sanji exploded: "This is the loving chicken soup I prepared for Miss Doria and that unknown lady! You only deserve to drink the tasteless one in the pot!"

Ikaku glanced at him and curled his lips.

I asked Sanji to get me another bowl, and then I looked around before whispering to Ace, "Do you want to be chopped into pieces by Captain Luo? Instead of meddling in my private affairs, why don't you think about yourself? Do you have a girlfriend at 22 or 23? Have you ever bought a gift for your girlfriend? Can you stop being silly all day? Can I still be an aunt in this life?"

Ace was stunned. He really had never thought about these things. He had only heard his brothers talk about how fun it was to have fun when they were on the Moby Dick. He was not interested in those things. If you think about it carefully, Dorea is indeed more experienced than him. But he couldn't show his weakness in front of Dorea!

"I'm looking down on anyone. Of course I've bought gifts for women... I've been to Wano Country before, and I took them shopping while you were sleeping in the room." Ace spoke more and more smoothly: "I even bought one of them a beautiful dress!"

"Really?! Is there a girl you like here? Is she pretty?" I didn't even bother eating my noodles. I stood up excitedly: "Quick, take me to see her and introduce her to me."

"Of course! She is a beautiful female ninja!" Ace said awkwardly: "Hey...why don't you know her——"

"Everyone, Ace and I are going to find someone. You guys go play first, I'll be back soon!" I didn't eat the noodles or drink the soup. I waved to Little Red Bean, and it immediately came over, rolled up Ace and followed me.

I took Ace and went straight to find the beautiful female ninja he mentioned.

At first, Ace was reluctant to take me with him, but I insisted and made a scene with him, and he had no choice but to take me to find Yamato.

I looked at Ace in confusion. Why did you bring me to find Yamato?

Yamato greeted Ace happily: "How come you have time to come to see me today? How are Marco and Izou?" She looked at me and said: "You are... the Lady of Trafalgar, right?"

Yamato looked at Ace, who rubbed his nose, "This is Dorea, my... um... sister, um!"

I glared at him. "Are you saying this too much?" I pulled his ear and gritted my teeth, "Speak to me properly!"

"Ouch! It hurts! Doria, let go, isn't it okay that I was wrong?"

Yamato watched blankly at the side, and only reacted when Ace reached out his hand to her with a grin.

"No...let go of Ace first."

"Dorea! Ace! Yamato! What are you doing?" Marco and Izo came over.

Marco looked in good condition, but Izou was in a worse condition. His arm was in a cast and his neck to chest was wrapped in bandages.

Yi Zang nodded at me and said, "Thank you, Doreya. If it weren't for you, I would have been buried here."

"You're too polite. We all have the same goal." I let go of Ace: "Are you looking for Ace? He just said he wanted to bring me here to meet new friends." As I said that, I rubbed Ace's ear that I had scratched.

Ace looked at me accusingly, "Yes, I'll take Doria to meet new friends."

"Then hurry up and let me see that beautiful female ninja you mentioned." I reached out and pulled his red bead necklace, then turned to Marco and the others and said, "Ace told me that he has a ninja girlfriend in Wano Country. He even bought her clothes and gifts a few days ago. I'm very curious, so I came to meet her."

Now I wasn't the only one interested, Marco and Izo also looked at Ace curiously.

"Think about it, Ace is old enough to know how to give gifts to girls." Marco said in a patriarchal tone.

Izang sighed, "Introduce her to us, Ace. Why are you still hiding things like love between men and women? Dad would definitely be happy if he still knew that you have a girlfriend."

Yamato was a little confused. He didn't see which girl Ace was close to in Wano Country. Was it a female ninja? Shinobu?
