Consequences of a Speedboat

"Nami, is Dazhiki awake?" Sairona asked politely. "This is some soup I prepared for you. It should help your stomach feel better after drinking it. I also have some small desserts here; you can have them after the soup." As he spoke, he placed two bowls of soup on the table and, under Gelu's watchful gaze, set down the desserts as well.

Why did I say I was making desserts for Gelu incidentally? Because the main attraction was here.

"Gelu Gelu. (Uncle Sairona is so biased.)" Gelu pouted.

"Gelu, let's go. It's not really appropriate to be in the girls' room," Sairona said calmly, dragging Gelu, who kept looking back, out of the room.

"Gelu, whether Uncle gets a girlfriend depends on you." Sairona produced a lollipop.

"Gelu Gelu. (Tell me, what is it?)" Gelu happily took the lollipop and agreed without even asking.

"First, we do this... then this... and then this..." Sairona whispered the plan into Gelu's ear. Gelu nodded. "Gelu? (Are we eating soon?)"

"..." Sairona's mouth twitched. He chanted a calming mantra three times and repeated the plan.

"Gelu? Gelu? Gelu? (What? No meal? Washing clothes?)" Gelu looked at Sairona with surprise, as if astonished that he would ask him to do something as incongruous with the Wolf Family as washing clothes.

"Hold it in, inhale, in--, exhale, out--. It's all Rono's fault. Gelu is exactly like him." Sairona propped himself up with his hands on the ground, orz, trying hard to calm himself down.

"Gelu? (What's wrong, Uncle Sairona?)" Gelu scratched his head, confused.

Sairona calmed himself down and abandoned the idea of Gelu assisting him. "It's nothing. Tell your father to get ready for dinner."

"Gelu! (Dinner!)" Gelu excitedly ran off to the room, to comfort Rono's young and fragile heart.

After Gelu left, Nami opened the door. "Sairona, I wanted to ask you something." Nami's left hand went behind her back to grasp her right arm, and she looked away.

"What is it? We're family now, so just say it," Sairona replied with a poker face, though his tone was gentle.

"It's about Rono's fiancée. Can you tell me about her?" Nami's voice grew softer and softer. If Sairona hadn't had Observation Haki, he might not have heard her.

"Well, with Rono's personality, he really would end up alone. Fortunately, Axia likes him." Sairona said with a reminiscent expression. "Rono's personality is quite awful, to put it plainly, he's a jerk. I'll tell you, I played a part in him successfully pursuing Axia." Sairona told Nami about Rono's confession at Enies Lobby, and Nami couldn't stop laughing.

"Why did Axia agree to him?" Nami was very curious. Did she develop feelings after meeting him just once?

"That goes back two years..." Sairona recounted Axia and Rono's meeting again. "Back then, Rono just felt she was quite lonely by herself, so he went to chat with her. At that time, only Rono's constitution could withstand Axia's Devil Fruit Ability."

"It was precisely because Rono appeared when Axia needed company that she developed feelings for him. Haha, I, a single dog, can analyze this so clearly!" Although he was laughing, Sairona's expression remained calm.

"Because he appeared when she needed him most?" Nami lightly sipped the Fragrant Tea in her hand, which Sairona had brewed while telling the story. For some reason, her heart felt a little sour. It's so similar to my own experience.

"I'm going to cook. Otherwise, Rono will start complaining again." Sairona finished his tea, smiled at Nami, and put on an apron.

"Ah! Okay. Speaking of which, Mr. Sairona, you're amazing at cooking. You'll surely be a good husband someday," Nami teased Sairona, snapping back to attention.

"Sairona, Sairona! Why is Gelu pestering me to buy clothes?" Rono's tone was a bit off. Being bare-chested was a tradition of the Wolf Family, established by Rono himself.

"Gelu is old enough now. Shouldn't he wear clothes to cover himself?" Sairona couldn't understand Rono's thinking.

"Sigh~ Gelu is still so young. Look at me, I still don't wear a shirt and I have a fiancée." Rono refused Sairona's reason.

"That's because she's blind." Sairona calmly retorted. Nima, are you showing off? You're definitely showing off, bullying me because I don't have a girlfriend, huh? No, I can't stand it. Even a guy like Rono has a fiancée, ahhh, why am I so jealous! Forget it, I'll just make a move.

Bang-- Sairona blew the smoke from his gun and put it away. "If you keep yapping, you won't get any food."

Playing dead, Rono immediately got up upon hearing this and rolled out of the restaurant without a word. Yielding to the evil forces.

Nami looked at Rono, who was shot but completely fine, and suddenly remembered why she could beat Rono black and blue. She threw this question to Sairona.

Sairona shrugged, indicating he didn't know. However, he was quite interested. With a wooden stick, if he were holding it, unless he used Armament Haki, he wouldn't be able to hurt Rono one bit. Yet, in Nami's hands, it felt like it had a buff. Oda's buff (manual emoji).

"Nami, punch me once, in the chest is fine. Don't use your full strength." Sairona was certainly not a masochist; he wanted to personally test Nami's punch.

Nami didn't think much of it and punched Sairona's chest with her little fist. Iron Body. Ping-- Sairona raised an eyebrow. Using Iron Body was useless; he still felt the pain. Nami also felt pain in her hand. Was Sairona's chest made of steel?

"Hmm-- one more punch, I think I have some ideas." Sairona said to Nami after some thought.

"No, my hand already hurts." Nami flatly refused. "I'm going to wake up Dazhiki."

"Go ahead. There's still soup in the pot, specially prepared for her." Sairona's attention was perfectly diverted, and he no longer focused on the issue of Nami's punch.

Nami hurried away. Back in the room, Dazhiki had already woken up. Nami said with a smile, "Dazhiki, why are you still in bed?"

"Is that Nami?" Dazhiki said seriously towards the head of the bed. "Why can't I see very clearly?"

"..." Nami was speechless and had to explain, "Dazhiki, your glasses fell off when Rono was sailing. You're not wearing them now."

"I remember now! I want to kill that damned bastard! He made me so sick my stomach hurt." Dazhiki finally remembered, saying through gritted teeth. Still towards the head of the bed.

"Um... Dazhiki, I'm behind you." Nami said faintly. This nearsightedness is a bit terrifying.
