Chapter 595
Nami blushed, sat down next to Chen Fan, and pinched Chen Fan, "Ouch! Ouch...!" Chen Fan cried out in pain;
"And then?" Hawk Eyes smiled and continued to ask;
"Let's settle my wife's matter first, then head to the Grand Line. That's where I need it!" Chen Fan said with a smile, his arm around Nami's waist.
"What do you need?" Hawk Eyes asked.
"Devil Fruit!" Chen Fan answered decisively;
Hawk Eyes paused for a moment, placed the wine glass in his palm, and said, "What do you need that for?" With Chen Fan's swordsmanship being so strong, he had absolutely no need for such a thing; it would only be a burden, preventing him from entering the sea.
"I'm not eating that stuff. It's just that it has some uses. It's something cursed by the sea, and I have no intention of tasting it!" Chen Fan waved his hand and said.
"That's good! A Sword Saint doesn't need such things! Constantly improving swordsmanship is the right path!"
"I don't need you to remind me, you defeated opponent!" Chen Fan pouted and said;
"You!" Hawk Eyes thought Chen Fan was truly shameless. How could someone so shameless possess such strong swordsmanship?
Suddenly, Chen Fan, who was engrossed in eating fish, looked up and said, "By the way! If you ever see a guy named Zoro, just slash him. But before you do, really beat him up a bit, just don't kill him. This guy wants to be your role model; he wants to become the world's greatest swordsman." Zoro had actually been tricked by Chen Fan like that.
Hawk Eyes blinked, then nodded. He didn't ask Chen Fan why Chen Fan didn't go personally, but he understood after thinking about it. "Okay! I got it!"
"Come on! Another drink!" Chen Fan laughed and raised his glass to toast Hawk Eyes. Today's fight with Hawk Eyes had given Chen Fan a general idea of the world's strength. He had even used his superpowers in Hawk Eyes fight, but they were only Level 3, better than nothing. Level 4 would be different, but the extradimensional energy in Chen Fan's brain was too entrenched; he could only slowly loosen it, and he didn't know when he would break through.
Afterwards, Hawk Eyes explained the current power distribution in the world to Chen Fan, but didn't say anything more. He didn't mention anything about the Grand Line or anything like that, and Chen Fan didn't ask, because these things are more interesting to explore on his own. What can you understand if you only read the beginning and the end of a novel?
After they had eaten and drunk their fill, the two parted ways, agreeing to fight again at this place a year later.
Chapter 144 Cocoyasi Village
(Chapter 144 Cocoyasi Village)
The ship slowly sailed towards Nami's hometown. Nami no longer worried about whether Chen Fan could defeat the Arlong. Today, she had witnessed something she couldn't have imagined from such a distance. The attacks made her feel like she was living in a dream. Fortunately, the ship was very far away from where the two were fighting, Nami was watching through binoculars.
She was extremely worried about Chen Fan's safety. It wasn't until their battle ended that night that Chen Fan came and took her to the island. Only then did she realize that this was Hawk Eyes, one of the Shichibukai Daimyo. Seeing that Chen Fan was unharmed, while Hawk Eyes had a wound, Nami knew that Chen Fan had won by a slight margin.
She had only ever mingled with small-time pirates, and had occasionally overheard them talking about these things, mentioning the strongest pirates. Although she wasn't interested, she still knew a little about them.
Chen Fan quickly fell asleep in the cabin. Today's battle was too tiring; fighting for 10 hours was almost the limit of Chen Fan's physical strength.
Nami felt a sense of peace as she watched Chen Fan sleep.
Seeing that Chen Fan was completely asleep, Nami tiptoed out of the boat, left a note for Chen Fan on the table, and then boarded a small boat and left. She was a strong girl, and if she could handle it herself, she didn't want to rely on Chen Fan, because she had sworn never to ask for help from others again. She would come back and travel with Chen Fan after she finished what she had to do.
She had painstakingly saved money for eight years to buy the entire village. Now she had enough money, and all she had to do was buy it. Although Chen Fan's strength was enough to crush the Arlong like an ant, Nami also had her own obsessions. These were the reasons why the Arlong had given Nami so many terrifying memories when she was a child.
And so Nami quietly left. While Chen Fan was fast asleep, as Nami departed, a gigantic figure appeared beside Chen Fan's ship, looking in the direction Nami had left. Its enormous eyes blinked, and then it sank away.
When Chen Fan woke up the next day, he wasn't too surprised to find Nami gone. Chen Fan knew what kind of girl Nami was; the main reason she hadn't left when Chen Fan was fighting Hawk Eyes was because she was worried about Chen Fan. Chen Fan picked up the note on the table, glanced at it, and smiled slightly. This silly girl, could you really trust pirates, especially such a notorious pirate crew?
Chen Fan went to the bow of the ship, put his finger to his lips, and whistled a lewd "Chirp..."
"Boom...!" A huge bulge suddenly appeared in the sea, and seawater cascaded down from it. Then, a giant monster's head appeared—it was Chen Fan's pet, Little One. It seemed like it hadn't appeared in a long time, but it had indeed been following Chen Fan the whole time.
"You know where Nami went, right?" Chen Fan said. Chen Fan may seem a bit simple-minded, but he's actually quite meticulous. Chen Fan Nami leaving long ago and had sent Little One to keep an eye on her, so he hadn't mentioned his pet Little One to Nami at all.
The Little One, enormous head nodded up and down, splashing seawater all over Chen Fan.
