Navigation: The Famous Opening Scene, Taking Zoro Away Directly

The waters near Whiskey Hill

On the wide deck, Nuo Qigao, wearing a mask and a white coat, kept bandaging the painful grinning Xiaoba with gauze, bandages, and alcohol.

Behind Xiaoba is Alvida, who is lying on the sofa.

Nami, holding the eternal pointer, stood in front of the rudder and faced the eternal pointer, constantly changing the direction.

Although the Fortuna has a directional cruise function, on the Grand Line where the magnetic field is turbulent, it can no longer determine its position and keep moving like it can on the East Blue.

On the Grand Line where the magnetic field is turbulent, it is necessary to manually correct the direction, otherwise it will go astray.

Zoro, covered in blood and with a bandage on his forehead, sat silently next to Drizzt, gently wiping the long knife with flesh and blood on his hand.

Drizzt, who was sitting next to Zoro, was holding a bottle of wine and sitting on the ground leaning against the guardrail. He looked with interest at Vivi opposite, who was tied up with a tortoise shell binding method that was very funny.

But Raven is different from everyone else.

On the deck where everyone is doing their duties in silence, Captain Raven is probably the most idle person right now.

After capturing Vivi and receiving the Pointer of Eternity from Vivi, Raven ended the battle at Whiskey Peak.

Except for some of the bounty hunters who escaped, the rest of the bounty hunters who did not escape were all dead.

In other words, Raven didn't want to chase her, otherwise no one would be able to escape today.

After the battle, Raven took Zoro and others to Whiskey Town for supplies.

Although there are some deceitful bounty hunters here, there are still plenty of supplies.

After collecting all the useful things, Raven set sail directly towards Alabasta.

After boarding the ship, Raven, who didn't need any treatment or sword maintenance, just sat cross-legged on the bow of the ship, closing her eyes and feeling the sea breeze.

Don't get me wrong, Raven, who is highly focused, is not sleeping.

Raven is practicing seeing and hearing color!

Because Walberry, who was born in the storm, not only possesses the power of thunder and lightning, but also the power of the storm.

So Raven can master the two attributes of wind and thunder.

Both of these attributes are conducive to expanding and increasing the range of sight and color, just like the ruthless Enel in the original who lost in the plot.

Of course, the powers are interconnected, and Raven will not cultivate in one direction alone.

While Raven was practicing her color perception range, she was also developing the power of Devil Fruit.

And, by the way, I am still training Armament Haki.

Raven, who has superimposed terrifying talents, is able to do two things, or even three things.

Cultivation is not just about cultivating in one place.

It's like practicing swordsmanship. Doesn't your body get exercise in the process?

On the calm deck of the Fortuna, if it weren't for the blood on Zoro and others, Raven and the others would have been as calm and relaxed as ordinary people out for an outing.

Under the salty sea breeze, after finishing wiping the sword, Zoro and Drizzt went to clean their bodies one after another.

After all, no one wants to live with blood all over them.

Xiaoba, who was most seriously injured, was lying on the sofa with Alvida.

After all, as combatants, they can't hide behind like Nami and Nokigao!

But their combat power is very limited!

So, this is the result.

"Mr. Raven."

Just when the ship was quiet and peaceful, Noqigao broke the peace.

After bandaging Xiaoba, Nuo Qigao stood behind Raven, lowered her head slightly and shouted softly to Raven.

Nuo Qigao, who was holding his clothes tightly with his head lowered, had a nervous expression of tangle, hesitation and uncertainty on his face.

"Um?

What's wrong?

Ship doctor? "

Raven was in a good mood as she was proceeding steadily according to the plan.

After being interrupted by Nokigao from practicing, Raven turned around to look at Nokigao, and even joked with Nokigao with interest.

Raven's calm words not only did not relax Nozhigao, who seemed a little nervous, but made Nozhigao even more nervous.

Seeing Nokigao's unusual expression, Raven had some doubts in her eyes.

After all, Raven doesn't have Observation Haki who can read people's minds, so how could Raven know Nokigao's inner thoughts?

However, the nervousness and hesitation of speaking in front of Nokigao, combined with the battle just now, Raven seemed to have guessed something.

Although he saw some clues, Raven, who respected his crew, did not ask actively.

Some things are better to be spoken out by oneself.

"Mr. Raven, although, although I know that my request is a bit greedy and ignorant.

But, I still want to say it.

I, I guess, I'd like you to help me find a Devil Fruit.

I-I know, Devil Fruit is expensive.

But I don’t want to be a drag on everyone.

I don’t want to be protected by everyone all the time, I also want to protect everyone!

Therefore, I would like to ask you to help me realize this somewhat greedy idea!

captain!

please! "

Standing in front of Raven, Nokigao, after being silent for a long time, bent down directly towards Raven as if he had made some kind of determination.

Nuo Qigao, who bowed to Raven, made a humble request to Raven loudly and emotionally.

Nuo Qigao, although it didn’t take long to board the ship, only more than a month.

But after experiencing the murloc rebellion and feeling like he could only hide on the boat just now, Nokigao could no longer go on like this.

Although Nokigao gritted her teeth and trained with Raven and others every day, she was just an ordinary woman after all.

Nokigao, who doesn't want to be protected all the time and has been a drag on the Thunder Pirates, doesn't want to go on like this anymore.

As a sister, she no longer wants to rely on others for protection!

She also has people she wants to protect!

Therefore, Noki made a loud request to Raven which she thought was too much.

Because the Devil Fruit possesses strange powers, it becomes the last hope for Nokigao, who wants to change everything, to gain strength and become stronger!

Although Nokigao also knew that her request was excessive.

She also knows that the Devil Fruit, which can give people great power, is very precious and rare.

But she wants to protect Nami and everyone, and doesn’t want to be a drag on the Thunder Pirates!

Nokigao, who had been unable to change through his own efforts, wanted to change everything through Devil Fruit.

After all, not everyone can have people like Zephyr and Garp who can become stronger without relying on the power of Devil Fruit!

Nozhigao's somewhat excited request, which could even be said to be a pleading voice, made everyone look this way.

Zoro, Drizzt, Alvida, Hachi, Nami, and even the tightly tied Vivi all looked here with silent expressions.

Because they all felt the courage that Nuo Qigao had finally mustered up and her obsession to become stronger!

Not everyone can feel comfortable being protected trash.

Noqigao is the kind of person who doesn't want to be protected all the time.

Everyone knew this from the moment they boarded the ship.

Because, unlike Nami, Nuoqigao works hard every day to train with Raven and others.

“Devil Fruit?

good!

I see!

Our guys need Devil Fruit!

Zoro, Drizzt, did you hear that? "

Raven, who looked at Nokigao who had been silent for a long time, finally slowly showed a smile on his face and shouted loudly.

Again, from the day Nokigao was recognized by Raven and boarded the ship, he was already Raven's recognized partner.

Isn’t it natural for a captain to be responsible for his comrades?

Therefore, Raven will not refuse any requests from her partners to become stronger in order to protect everyone!

Because, Nuoqigao is Raven's approved partner!

And a partner is far more precious than a so-called Devil Fruit!

"oh!

knew! "

“Devil Fruit, right?

What about Logia?

No!

Our partner, let’s be a fantasy beast! "

After hearing Raven's voice, Zoro and Drizzt, who also smiled, spoke with smiles.

Like Raven, Zoro and Drizzt also recognize Nokigao as a partner!

Helping partners realize their wishes, isn’t that what partners who help and rely on each other should do?

"Mr. Raven, everyone..."

Nokigao, who was waiting for the result with his eyes closed, suddenly stood up and shouted in disbelief after hearing the voices of Raven, Zoro, and Drizzt.

Nokigao, who thought that he would be rejected by this willful request, did not expect that Raven and everyone would agree to it.

But before she could finish her incredible words, she was interrupted by Raven's hug.

“We, who are called hyenas on the sea, are companions who rely on each other, and we are also a family that supports each other!

Isn’t it natural to help family members fulfill their requests? "

Raven, who held Nokigao in her arms with one hand, chuckled and said in Nokigao's ear.

To outsiders, Raven may be a cruel pirate.

But Raven is still willing to show kindness to her own people!

Even evil people have good intentions that they are unwilling to give up and feelings that they cannot let go of!
