Section 116
Kung Fu Manatee Xiao Qi's stomach growled a few times. He looked up at Ron beside him and said, "Master, when can we eat? I'm hungry."
Nami heard its voice and looked at it with wide eyes in surprise: "The manatee...is talking?!"
"His name is Xiao Qi, the Kung Fu Manatee of Alabasta."
Cornis smiled at her and introduced. "He is our captain's disciple."
"captain……"
Nami's eyes moved from the talking manatee, who was wearing a red cotton jacket and a felt hat, to the black-haired boy next to it who was wearing a black hooded fur coat and a black knife hanging on his waist.
He looks a little younger than Miss Cornish and Sister Robin. Is he actually the captain? !
etc?
captain? !
"Do you think you are pirates?"
Little Nami couldn't help but ask.
"No."
Cornis smiled at her and said, "Just a traveler on the sea."
"What's the difference?"
"Is there a difference..."
Cornis thought for a while and said, "Maybe the pirates will steal your things, but we won't."
While Nokigao was tidying up and cleaning the room.
Nami invited Ron and others into the house and served them food from home.
The food was just the cheapest black bread and some dried meat, which was tasteless.
"If you don't mind, please use..."
Nami, who brought the food to the table, said to Ron and others, her voice as thin as a mosquito.
Robin picked up a piece of dry and hard black bread, frowned slightly, looked at Nami and said, "Is this what you usually eat?"
Cornis took a bite. It was dry and tasteless, as if she was chewing wood.
Xiaoqi didn't care about the food. She just picked it up and stuffed it into her mouth, as long as she was full.
"These foods are indeed not to your liking... Then please ask a few guests to wait for me, and I will go to the village to buy them."
Nami said quickly.
I had no money before, but now with the 100,000 beli paid in advance, I can buy some good food.
Nami was about to run towards the door.
The calm voice of the black-haired boy named Ron came from behind.
"No."
Nami stopped immediately, grabbed the one hundred thousand beli bag, and lowered her head.
really……
How could these rich people from outside live in a poor home like theirs?
They said they wanted to live here for ten thousand beli a day or something like that.
I guess they were just playing tricks on poor people like them for fun...
hehe.
"As for the food, we brought it with us, so there's no need to buy it again."
Ron's voice sounded behind her.
"I understand, I will return the money now..."
Nami, who had not yet recovered from her self-imagination, gritted her teeth, turned around with crystal tears in her eyes, and handed out the cloth bag in her hand.
"?"
Cornis and Robin were both stunned, with doubts on their faces.
"Nami, what are you...?"
Cornis looked at her with confusion on her face.
Nami suddenly came to her senses at this moment.
"Eh?!"
Ron, who was sitting at the table, took a sip of water, turned to look at her and smiled:
"Don't worry, we are not the kind of rich people who use money to make fun of the poor. The rent paid to you will not be recovered."
Facing his smile that seemed to see through everything and the smiles that Cornis and Robin responded to, Nami's face turned red in an instant.
But at the same time, looking at these outsiders whom she met on the first day, a warmth that had never been felt since Bellemere's death rose in Nami's heart.
Winter snowy days don’t seem so cold anymore.
"Guest, we have packed up. Now we have to go up and see... Nami! What are you doing?!"
When Nokigao finished cleaning the room upstairs and walked down the stairs, he was shocked when he saw Nami sitting at the table, eating the food in front of her.
"How can you eat your guests' food?"
"It doesn't matter, we invited her to eat."
Cornis, who was sitting next to Nami, smiled at her and said, "Would you like to eat some too?"
When Nokigao heard this, she looked at the food on the table that she had never seen before and exuded an extremely pleasant aroma, and couldn't help but swallow her saliva.
Robin walked up to her with a piece of snack, smiled at her and said, "This is the coconut heart cake from Rogge Town. Try one and see."
Nuo Qigao smelled the tangy aroma, and the fluid in her mouth secreted uncontrollably.
"Then, I'll try a piece..."
After she ate the piece that Robin handed her, she felt the delicious food blooming in her mouth, and tears couldn't help but overflow from the corners of her eyes.
She has never eaten such delicious food since she was a child.
Is this the taste of happiness...
Robin and Cornis fed Nokigao and Nami.
Xiao Qi, the Kung Fu Manatee sitting at the table, stuffed food into his mouth regardless.
Ron, who was sitting next to it, was drinking a glass of sparkling Chambord while looking at Nami, who was sitting opposite and eating a steak, with a smile.
Although we are so small now, we can be so big in the future. It is really incredible...
…
After eating.
Only half of the food on the table was left.
Nocturnal pressed Nami's head, who had eaten and drank enough, and bowed to Ron and others to apologize, saying in a shameful tone: "It was obviously the food for the guests, but we accidentally ate so much... I'm really sorry. "
"Don't worry, we still have plenty of food."
Robin smiled at the two girls.
She had a good impression of the two girls who depended on each other for life, and she could see her past self in them.
Nokigo and Nami looked at her with gratitude.
Ron stood up and said, "Is the room ready?"
Nokigo nodded quickly.
"Then I'll go up first."
Ron went upstairs first and went to rest in the room.
After saying hello to Kung Fu Manatee Xiaoqi and Robin Connis, they also went out to practice boxing in the orange orchard in the snow.
Only Connis, Robin, Nokigo and Nami were left in the room.
Robin and Connis chatted with them.
And in the clean and simple room upstairs.
Ron took off his black coat and hung it on the hanger beside him, and put the black knife Qiushui on his waist back into the system space.
He sat on the bed, and a light screen appeared in front of him that only he could see.
The light screen showed his attribute column and the prop column obtained by signing in.
Among the dozens of columns of item lists, a brand new one is at the top.
[Special Item - Devil Fruit Copy Card. ]
This is the reward Ron got after signing in after arriving on the island.
[Devil Fruit Copy Card: can copy the ability of the Devil Fruit eaten by the Devil Fruit user.
