Nojiko’s Relationship Begins And Ends

Early the next morning.

Under Nami's hard work acting cute and flirting, Basire was finally betrayed by his lust, so he "reluctantly" sent Zoro and the others out to transplant three orange trees to the Dreadnaught Saber.

In addition to being loved and missed by Nami, the vitamin C in oranges can indeed effectively prevent scurvy caused by long-term sailing.

In fact, Basire himself wanted to transplant a few orange trees, but he didn't expect that before he said it, Nami could not wait to seduce him and give him some benefits.

Basire could only be 'forced' to take advantage of the situation. He even gave Nami enough time to make some talent performances and movie-level dramas before finally agreeing to the request to plant trees on the ship.

Seeing Nami taking advantage of Basire's orders as the boss and proudly commanding Zoro, Eldoraggo and the others, even Nojiko couldn't stand it.

"Captain Basire, please don't blame Nami. In fact, Nami has liked to tease others since she was a child, she doesn't have any bad intentions!"

Nojiko stood beside Basire, constantly saying good things about Nami and helping her to 'cleanse her name'.

And she didn't know why, but even though the man next to her was a brutal pirate who kills people without batting an eyelid, yet standing next to him, she didn't feel scared at all.

Basire's presence made Nojiko feel very safe and even made her want to rely on him.

"I know her character, so you don't have to worry."

Basire said lightly, while he was reminiscing about the benefits Nami had just given. This sudden wave of operations actually made his heart a little restless. To be honest, he missed Desire who was very smooth, wild and cooperative.

After all, he has been floating in the sea for such a long time, and he hasn't eaten "meat" for a long time.

'I wonder what she's doing now?'

Emotional thoughts such as feelings, desires, reason, and ambition are constantly entangled in Basire's heart.

Basire, whose thoughts changed a little, suddenly made a decision to go back to Loguetown and pull Desire aboard his ship even if he has to kidnap her!

It doesn't matter if the fruit is sweet or not, as long as it can quench your thirst…

Feelings? What are those? Can you eat them?

This stupid woman dares to make him have such unreasonable thoughts. This inner demon must be completely suppressed.

Once you become his woman, don't even think about running away!

In this dog eat dog world, in this great era of pirates where order was broken, he abandoned the idea of having a normal relationship in his heart, but there was an extra evil thought in his heart.

[There is no breakup, only widowhood!]

"Captain Basire, what's wrong with you?"

Nojiko suddenly felt an evil and cold aura on Basire, which made her a little panicked.

"It's okay! I just remembered some old accounts I have to settle. I have to go back and deal with them."

Basire regained his calm tone, and the evil thoughts that Nami had just stirred up instantly disappeared.

Lust cannot defeat ambition after all!

"Captain Basire, actually, you don't have a bad heart, right?"

Nojiko suddenly looked into Basire's eyes and said seriously, she didn't know why Basire's temperament changed so much.

"Don't guess at people's hearts. There is no distinction between good and evil in my heart. Also, don't be curious or interested in me, otherwise, you won't be able to bear the consequences."

The aura of safety on Basire disappeared, and turned into an indifference that kept strangers away. He didn't want to cause any more emotional problems. Women without strength or special abilities were of no use to him.

Unless she is willing to show the same emotions and eternal loyalty as a moth to a flame, maybe Basire will train her then.

Nojiko's face turned pale and her nose became sour, she pursed her lips and showed a stiff smile. She couldn't say anything about getting on the ship because she couldn't let go of the orange grove left by her mother, Bell-mère.

It was just that she had a crush on Basire, the great hero who liberated the village, the man who made her feel such emotions for the first time in her life. His indifference and words made her very uncomfortable, and she felt like crying.

This may be the sad feeling that a relationship has ended before it even begins…

"Captain Basire, you are so insensitive. However, I believe you are a good person!"

The expression on Nojiko's face, where she wanted to cry but pretended to be smiling, was a bit awkward, but she still said the last words and left quickly and "coolly" swinging her hips.

Looking at Nojiko's back, Basire shook his head. Any fruitless relationship should be broken off.

She couldn't let go of this orange orchard, she was too weak and had no special abilities. This kind of quick and easy way to cut through the mess was the best result.

Nojiko ran back to her room and felt her chest was tight, as if she couldn't breathe.

She didn't know why she felt like this. She and Basire had only known each other for a day. So she frantically messed up her hair to wake herself up.

After recovering a bit emotionally, she returned to the port.

After transplanting the orange trees, the crew of the Big Daddy Pirates had begun to board the ship, and Basire was teaching and taming the cow sea beast Momoo.

"Nojiko, take care of Bell-mère's orange grove. I will come back after I have circled the world and drawn a navigation map of the whole world!"

Nami excitedly shouted to her sister that although she was recruited by Basire to join the ship on the condition of destroying the Arlong Pirates, after a few days of getting along with him, she had already understood a bit of Basire's principles for doing things.

That's why she boarded the Big Daddy Pirates' pirate ship with greater peace of mind.

"You have to take care of yourself! I will always wait for you to come back!"

The tears that Nojiko had been suppressing just now were finally released when she was bidding farewell to her sister, but she couldn't help but glance at Basire, who had tamed the sea beast.

This man was still so attractive to her, even though he said such uncomfortable words!

This man not only destroyed the Arlong Pirates and liberated more than twenty villages, but he also didn't even steal a large amount of the protection money that the fish-men forcibly collected.

Even Nami's money to redeem the village was not taken away by Basire, and all was left to the villagers of Cocoyashi Village.

How could such a man be a bad person!

'If you don't let me become curious and interested in you, then I won't, you hateful man!'

Watching the Big Daddy Pirates' pirate ship slowly leaving the port, pulled by the giant sea cow, Nojiko shed some more tears.

She didn't know if it's because of Nami or because of Basire.

Because of the sea beast Momoo pulling the ship, all the three-masted sails of the Dreadnaught Battleship Saber were lowered, reducing air resistance and traveling much faster than sailing.

Finally it was faster than a Marines warship.

However, less than half an hour after the Big Daddy Pirates set out to sea, a warship appeared on their path.

On the warship, there was a Marine who looked like a mouse. He looked a little unhappy because the protection money that the Arlong Pirates were supposed to send every month was not delivered yet, and the den den mushi could not get through.

This made Captain Nezumi of the 16th branch of East Blue so angry that he personally sailed a ship to find Arlong and get his share of the protection money.

Without his cover, the Arlong Pirates would have been wiped out by Marines long ago!
