38: Chapter 38 Rayleigh and ShakkyUpon arriving at Sabaody Archipelago, Luffy didn't rush to find any coating worker to coat the ship.Instead, he led Kuina to Shakky's extortion bar.
Kuina followed Wang Lufei to the bar entrance, looking at the sign with some confusion, and asked, "Is there anything special about this bar?Why are we here?"
The name does sound a bit unusual, but shouldn't we be the coating workers applying the coating to the ship right now?You brought me here, did you."
As Kuina spoke, she suddenly blushed, seemingly remembering something.She muttered a curse under her breath, playfully hit Wang Lufei, and whispered, "Actually, it doesn't have to be so complicated.If you want, I can do it."
Wang Lufei was confused by the girl's fickle behavior and asked, "What trouble and what can I do?I don't understand.I brought you here because we have the best coating technicians."
After hearing this, Kuina realized she had misunderstood.She blushed, lowered her head, and remained silent, but kept pinching Wang Lufei's waist.
Wang Lufei was experiencing a bittersweet sensation, because Kuina's grip on his waist felt like a massage to his otherwise steel-like frame.However, this massage was a little too pleasurable, causing him some discomfort (boys who know, know).
Wang Lufei wasn't unaware of what she was saying; it's just that the two of them were still too young.Not to mention Kuina wasn't fully developed yet, and personally, he couldn't get an erection.
So now Wang Lufei just silently watched the somewhat troublesome little devil in front of him act up, thinking to himself, "Just wait, I can't be sullen now.When you turn 16, I'll see how I spoil you rotten!"
Just as the two were flirting, a disheveled middle-aged man carrying a bottle of liquor came out of the bar and looked at the two in front of him, saying, "I think I just heard you guys looking for a coating technician here?The best one on the island?Can you tell me where you heard that rumor?"
Seeing that the disheveled middle-aged man in front of him had also become serious, Wang Luffy pressed down on Kuina's head and said, "Stop fooling around, the person we're looking for has arrived."
Then he said to the slovenly old man, "My grandfather told me about it.He said there's an incredibly skilled coating technician at the 'Knockout Bar.' I came here to see him and ask him to coat my boat."
After saying that, Wang Lufei pretended to sized up the person in front of him and then said, "Could it be that my grandfather was talking about you?"
The slovenly old man laughed and said, "Hahaha, your grandpa has good taste.Although I'm just a novice at coating, I'm definitely a super-skilled one.All things considered, I'm truly a super-skilled coating worker."
After laughing, the slovenly middle-aged man's expression suddenly changed, and he said seriously, "Your grandfather is Garp, isn't he?You look just like him, and your personality is similar too—carefree and thoughtless.Didn't your grandfather tell you I could threaten your life?And you still dare to come here for my coating?"
Wang Lufei shielded Kuina behind him and said calmly, "My grandfather said that Uncle Rayleigh is a man of true character.He got along well with you when he worked with Roger before.So I think that as long as I am sincere enough, you will not threaten my life, but will instead treat me warmly."
After Wang Lufei finished speaking, he took out the good wine he had prepared in his backpack and gave it to Rayleigh.
Seeing this, Rayleigh unceremoniously opened the bottle, sniffed the aroma, and said, "Good lad.Your grandpa tells you everything.Hmm, a younger relative of an old friend has come to visit, saying that Uncle Rayleigh absolutely has to treat you to a meal today.Hahahaha!"
After Rayleigh finished speaking, he gulped down a mouthful of wine, sighed "Good wine," and led Wang Luffy and the other man into the bar.
Upon arriving at the bar, Ridley called out loudly, "Shakky, come here.A younger relative of an old friend has come to visit.Treat them well and cook a few dishes."
And that was it.After hearing what Rayleigh said, Shakky hit him on the head with a stick and said, "This is a bar, not a restaurant.I can't cook, how many times do I have to tell you?"
Rayleigh rubbed his head, clearing his head a bit, and said, "If you don't know how, you don't know how.Why get so angry?You'll make the younger generation laugh at you.If you won't cook, I'll cook, okay?"
After Rayleigh finished speaking, he turned to Luffy and said, "Well, you guys sit down first, I'll go inside and cook something.Make yourself at home."
After Rayleigh finished speaking, he went into the kitchen, leaving Luffy and Kuina looking at each other, unsure of what to say.
Xia Qi had recovered by this time.Composing herself, she said to the two of them, "I'm sorry to have made you laugh.That old man likes to talk nonsense when he's drunk.Would you like something to drink?I'll give you a 10% discount."
After hearing this, Wang Luffy took out one million Berries from his pocket and placed it on the table, saying, "Two glasses of juice will do.Consider the rest of the money as a gift for Uncle Rayleigh to coat our ship."
Shakky accepted the Bailey with a "you're very sensible" look on her face, then turned around to get some fruit and poured it for them.
After pouring the juice, Xia Qi asked, "Judging from your outfits and ages, you two didn't elope, did you?You can talk to your aunt about any troubles you have; your aunt has a lot of romantic experience."
Kuina was asked again if they had eloped, but she was already somewhat immune to it.She didn't explain, but just smiled and sat quietly waiting for Wang Lufei to speak.
Seeing this, Wang Lufei also spoke up, "It's not an elopement, I just want to go to Fishman Island to take a look.Kuina wants to find a sword path suitable for women to practice.It's on the way, it's on the way."
After Wang Lufei finished speaking, he seemed to think of something else and then asked, "I heard that you, Sister Xia Qi, are very well-informed.Do you know where there is a place where women can reach the pinnacle of swordsmanship?"
As Wang Lufei spoke, he took out another stack of Beli from his pocket and placed it on the table.
Seeing this, Shakky thought for a moment, then put away Bailey and said, "Kendo suitable for women.""If we're talking about the closest one to you, there's one in the Navy.The substitute Admiral, Momousagi, is a great female swordsman.Given your connections, it shouldn't be too difficult for her to teach this girl."
After saying that, Xia Qi paused for a moment, and then said, "As for the rest.I can actually teach them too.Don't think that just because I've been retired for so many years, I was once a top swordsman who was just one step away from becoming a great swordsman."
Kuina was pleasantly surprised after hearing this, but she didn't know what to say, so she could only look at Wang Lufei expectantly, waiting for him to speak.
Wang Luffy and Kuina exchanged a glance, then Wang Luffy shook his head with a smile and said, "Actually, I was thinking that if we really couldn't find a way outside, I would take Nana back to Marine Headquarters and have Vice Admiral Momousagi teach her."
But since Sister Shakky can teach, why not let her stay on the island for a while, and you can teach her the basics?After you've finished teaching, I'll take her back to Marine Headquarters and have Vice Admiral Momousagi teach her some sword techniques.After all, only by combining the strengths of many schools can one become stronger."
Hearing this, Kuina asked with some confusion, "If I learn kendo with Sister Shaki on the island, then I can't go to Fishman Island with you, can I?"
As she spoke, Kuina hugged Luffy and said sweetly in his arms, "You promised to take good care of me outside, but now that we're here, you're leaving me behind.I want to stay with you."
Wang Lufei looked at the cute girl in front of him, patted her head, and said, "What are you thinking about?How could I go back on my word?What I mean is that I'll go to Fishman Island first to make connections.In the meantime, you can learn some knowledge from Sister Xiaqi."
"Once you've finished learning and I'm familiar with Fishman Island, I'll come and pick you up to go there together.You can then consolidate your knowledge there.The round trip won't take a month, so don't worry."
After hearing this, Kuina stopped making a fuss and obediently nodded in Wang Lufei's arms.
