Great Voyage: Luffy’s voyage is revealed at the beginning Chapter 030

Chapter 30: Sanji’s Fury

As Ling Long and Nami entered the sea restaurant, a curly-browed man with yellow hair, holding a rose, approached Nami with an infatuated look.

“Miss Nami, you’re finally here. I’ve prepared the best seat for you. Please accept this love-filled lunch I’ve meticulously cooked for you.”

Nami looked at the rose in front of her, hesitated for a moment, then chuckled dryly, “Then I’ll trouble Sanji-kun.”

Nami felt a headache coming on. This infatuated man named Sanji was simply too clingy. She had been pestered by Sanji quite a bit these past few days.

If it were just pestering, Nami could handle it, but the problem was that Sanji’s words were also very embarrassing.

Things like, “Thank you for granting me this encounter today,” “Love, you can laugh at me for being unable to bear this pain…” And also things about the sea, hell, heaven, and so on.

In the past few days, Sanji had said a lot of strange “love words,” making her mocked by Ling Long several times. Moreover, Nami herself was very uncomfortable, feeling goosebumps all over.

“No thanks, no thanks, it’s what I should do.”

Sanji saw the smile on Nami’s face, his eyes almost turning into heart shapes. He bowed slightly and made a gesture of invitation, saying:

“Miss Nami, please follow me…”

After speaking, Sanji glared at Ling Long, his eyes full of menace, then turned and walked into the hall.

“…”

Ling Long shook her head with a half-smile and whispered, “Am I just caught in the crossfire?”

Caught in the crossfire?

Nami glanced at Ling Long, her expression unfriendly. “What, you’re not happy about it? If you weren’t insistent on staying here, would I need to endure this pervert?”

Ling Long spread his hands and chuckled, “Alright, alright, it’s all my fault. I’ll treat you to a big meal, alright?”

“Hmph!”

Nami rolled her eyes at Ling Long and said in an annoyed tone, “Of course you’re paying. I’m your navigator, how can you let a beautiful girl like me pay?”

Ling Long was about to speak when he suddenly felt an angry gaze. He twitched his lips and said, “Let’s go, that guy is glaring at me again.”

“Mm.”

Nami nodded weakly, then seemed to remember something, and a conflicted expression appeared on her face.

A moment later, Nami seemed to have made a decision. She reached out her right hand, hooked Ling Long’s arm, and walked towards Sanji with a smile.

Ling Long raised an eyebrow slightly, looking at Nami in surprise. He whispered, “Are you trying to make Sanji hate me even more?”

“You’re my captain. Isn’t it your job to help your crew members solve problems?”

“Is that so? Then I understand.”

Ling Long’s lips curved slightly. He reached out his left hand and, to Nami’s surprise, tightly wrapped his arm around her slender waist.

“What are you doing?”

Nami felt the warmth of the large hand on her waist, and her face instantly flushed. Just as she was about to struggle, she heard Ling Long’s low voice:

“Don’t move. Didn’t you ask me to help you solve the problem?”

Ling Long ignored Sanji’s fiery gaze, a faint smile on his face. He held the slightly struggling Nami and strode towards the dining table.

Ling Long approached Sanji, his chin slightly raised, and chuckled, “Sorry, I always forgot to tell you, Nami is actually my fiancée.”

Nami’s eyes widened slightly, her pretty face instantly flushed crimson. She pinched Ling Long fiercely with her slender hand, and her heart began to beat rapidly.

Fiancée?

Sanji was completely stunned. After a long moment, his lips trembled slightly, and he asked softly, “Na, Miss Nami?”

“Mm.”

Nami’s expression was a bit unnatural, but she still nodded, letting out a soft hum.

It’s actually true?

Sanji’s face was ashen. After a moment, he glared at Ling Long and roared, “Bastard, I’m going to duel you! I will never give Miss Nami to you!”

Sanji’s roar echoed through the restaurant. For a moment, everyone’s attention was drawn to them.

“Bang~”

A figure arrived instantly, his raised right foot turning into an afterimage, kicking Sanji flying and sending him crashing against the wall.

An old man wearing a chef’s hat nearly two meters tall stroked his long, braid-like beard and looked at Ling Long and Nami with an apologetic expression, saying:

“Guests, I’m very sorry. This brat Sanji has caused you a lot of trouble. This meal is on me today, please don’t be polite with me.”

After speaking, the old man didn’t wait for them to reply. He quickly walked to Sanji, grabbed his collar, and dragged him into the back kitchen like a dead dog.

“Whew…”

Nami let out a long breath. Just as she was about to speak, she felt the large hand on her waist moving slightly. She rolled her eyes and said coldly, “Aren’t you going to let go yet?”

“Uh, I’ll let go now…”

Ling Long chuckled awkwardly, releasing his left hand from Nami’s waist, feeling a slight reluctance in his heart.

…

The meal was a bit awkward. Nami kept her head down, lost in thought, while Ling Long didn’t know what to say.

Fortunately, it wasn’t long before Luffy and his crew also entered the restaurant and joined Ling Long’s table, and the strange atmosphere gradually dissipated.

Luffy raised his glass and clinked it with Ling Long’s, exclaiming, “Ling Long, I didn’t expect you to not only be a reporter but also a formidable doctor! That’s truly amazing.”

Joseph was almost dead before, but after drinking some orange juice, he immediately became lively again. This showed how amazing Ling Long’s medical skills truly were.

“Yeah, Ling Long, you’re truly amazing.”

“A divine doctor! Even if you don’t become a reporter in the future, you can still become famous worldwide with your medical skills.”

…

Nami looked at the admiring crowd and rolled her eyes weakly, saying, “Isn’t this common sense? Why are you saying Ling Long knows medicine?”

Nami was truly speechless. These guys didn’t even know about scurvy, and yet they dared to venture out to sea?

They truly weren’t afraid of death!

“Common sense?”

Luffy and the others exchanged glances, all seeing confusion in each other’s eyes.

This was actually common sense, so why didn’t they know?

“It is indeed common sense.”

Ling Long nodded, gently swirling the red wine in his glass, and chuckled, “If you eat more fresh fruits and vegetables regularly, this situation won’t happen again.”

Luffy and the others nodded, half-understanding. It seemed they would have to prepare more fruits and vegetables in the future.

“Ling Long…”

Zoro gently stroked the long sword at his waist, his eyes incredibly sharp. He asked Ling Long, “Will Hawkeye really come here?”

“Yes, I received news that he should arrive within the next two days.”

Ling Long looked at Zoro, who was wrapped in bandages, and twitched his lips slightly, saying, “In your current state, you’re not still planning to challenge Hawkeye, are you?”

Upon hearing this, Zoro clenched his right hand tightly around the hilt of his sword and said with a serious expression, “He is my goal for going out to sea. He is someone I must defeat.”

“Don’t be ridiculous. You can’t even defeat me, so how could you be Hawkeye’s opponent?”

“Zoro, I only need one move to defeat you, and Hawkeye only needs one move to defeat me. You can calculate how big the gap is.”

Ling Long had not yet entered the level of a Great Swordsman, nor had he learned Haki. The gap between him and Hawkeye was immeasurable. Being instantly killed by one strike was normal.

Saying this might diminish his own prestige, but it was the truth. Ling Long disdained lying about such matters. If he couldn’t win, he couldn’t win; there was nothing to be ashamed of.

Currently, this was indeed the case. As for the future, Ling Long knew that Hawkeye would definitely not be his opponent.

“…”

Zoro fell silent, his face filled with unwillingness.

In truth, Zoro also knew that he was absolutely no match for Hawkeye, but he was unwilling to give up just like that.

Zoro was very worried and scared. If he retreated this time, then his dream, his promise, and everything else might be lost forever.

So, even if it meant death, he would never retreat!

Ling Long saw through Zoro’s thoughts and shook his head, saying, “Forget it, if you want to challenge him, then go ahead. This experience will make you understand how vast the world truly is…”

“Clang~”

Just then, a wine glass dropped to the floor, making a crisp sound.

A woman sitting by the window looked at the huge sailboat approaching on the sea with a horrified expression and let out a scream, attracting everyone’s attention.

Ling Long turned his head to look out the window and saw a huge sailboat emerging from the thick fog. His eyes lit up, and a faint smile appeared on his lips.

“They’re finally here!”
