[Pirate] I! Orochimaru! I will never split! Chapter 059

After having enough fun, the group returned to Conis’s home.

Orochimaru looked around, deep in thought. He needed to stock up on those clouds, process them into furniture for the Merry Go, and when they got a bigger ship later, he wanted a super-large bed and a sofa… The others would probably like them too, and he also needed to consider new crew members joining later. As for Garp… even if it was reluctantly, he’d have to send one.

Other shells could be stocked up a bit; they were just novelties, not very useful.

“By the way, where’s Nami?” Orochimaru chewed on the lobster meat Sanji had just cooked, realizing someone was missing.

Luffy pouted, “She’s still playing with the waver.”

Luffy was a bit envious of Nami. Although the one Orochimaru made for him was fun, it wasn’t as fast as the waver; it was more like a toy.

“God??” The two were drawn to the topic Conis was talking about.

“Yes, this is the country of God, ruled by the almighty God Enel. Enel knows everything and controls everything in this world. Everything we do is within his sight, anytime, anywhere.”

“Oh… Orochimaru, is this the Observation Haki you mentioned before?” Zoro rubbed his chin, very interested. Orochimaru had told them about mastering the technique before, but their current physical fitness wasn’t up to par; they needed more training.

“Conis-chan, have you seen that God?” Sanji was a bit curious.

“No… We are not allowed to set foot in Upper Yard. That is where God lives, a forbidden place, absolutely not to be trespassed.” Conis’s expression was a bit downcast.

“Soga… a place absolutely not to be trespassed, ah hahaha,” Luffy’s eyes sparkled as he giggled foolishly, chewing bread with puffed cheeks, then continued to grin.

“He definitely wants to go in,” everyone thought in unison.

Conis was a bit worried, “I hope Miss Nami hasn’t entered Upper Yard. Humans who enter will be punished by God; no one can come out alive.”

“Yosh… let’s go save Nami!” Hearing this, Luffy stuffed all the food into his mouth, chewing as he spoke, turning around excitedly.

“Let’s go,” Orochimaru wiped his mouth and stood up.

“Hey…” The group was speechless. Luffy clearly intended to sneak into the forbidden place… he wasn’t going to save Nami at all… and Nami might not even be there. Orochimaru, why are you getting involved?

“Well… Nami might just still be playing with the waver,” Usopp was a bit speechless; he didn’t want to provoke God.

“It’s no use saying anything. The only outcomes are either Luffy goes in by himself and we go find him, or we all go in together,” Orochimaru said expressionlessly.

Everyone’s faces twitched… That made a lot of sense.

“But how do we get there? Conis’s father just said it’s a headwind now, and the Merry Go can’t sail there,” Sanji lit a cigarette; he was still very worried about Nami.

Orochimaru coughed and pointed to the side, “This is the upgraded Mechanical Naruto 2.0, land, sea, and air specialized version.”

(≖_≖) Ah, it’s him… Everyone looked at that familiar little pathetic thing… mourning for Mechanical Naruto… They wondered if there really was a person named Naruto; if so, he was too miserable.

After entrusting the Merry Go to Conis, Orochimaru also asked her to help find professionals to overhaul the ship.

The few of them skillfully boarded Mechanical Naruto and found their respective seats. That’s right, everyone had their own specialized scientific seat on Mechanical Naruto. In Orochimaru’s words, it was a customized ergonomic chair. Of course, the top of Naruto’s head was naturally reserved for Luffy, as a boneless human, he didn’t need an ergonomic chair.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Nami, after witnessing the power of divine punishment, was filled with shock. She immediately decided to speed up her return, but just as she turned around, she saw the conspicuous Mechanical Naruto.

(≖_≖) Ah… as expected… but when will Orochimaru change his aesthetic… sitting on the back of a robot isn’t cool at all, not even as cool as Smoker. Nami constantly complained internally; she didn’t understand boys’ love for robots.

“Nami-suang~ We’ve come to save you!” Sanji shook with excitement, shouting this sentence before rushing forward impatiently. His steps were light and fast, his eyes sparkling with hearts, swaying towards Nami.

Luffy was also exceptionally excited. He widened his eyes, looking at the forest in front of him, and couldn’t help but cheer, “A forbidden place… how amazing, there’s land in the sky too?” Luffy jumped around excitedly.

Nami quickly pulled Luffy, “No, Luffy, you’ll get divine punishment if you go up there! I just saw someone get struck by lightning and turned to ash!” Nami’s face was a bit pale.

“Divine punishment… Sugoi!” Luffy’s eyes gleamed as he bypassed Nami and climbed up like a monkey.

Nami silently shed tears (╥╯^╰╥) She knew it.

“Nami, are you hurt? Was it a lightning-attribute attack?” Orochimaru examined Nami, found she wasn’t hurt, and thought for a moment… how to prevent being struck by lightning… He got it!

Orochimaru squatted behind everyone, fiddling for a bit, then held up a super-large Tanghulu lollipop. However, the stick was metal and had cool patterns.

“Luffy… Luffy,” Orochimaru waved at Luffy.

Luffy’s eyes lit up at the sight of the human-sized lollipop, “Is that for me?”

“Mm-hmm… Luffy, Nami just said there’s irregular lightning divine punishment here. It wouldn’t be good if your straw hat got zapped. Do you want me to keep it for you?” Orochimaru gently handed over the candy.

“Oh… okay.” Luffy scratched his head, tilted his head, and thought for a moment, feeling that what Orochimaru said made some sense. So he took off his straw hat and handed it to Orochimaru.

“The stick of this Tanghulu lollipop is a limited edition. Don’t throw it away after eating it, okay? Look, there are patterns on the stick. Don’t you like these little sticks? It’s perfect for you to use for scouting, and it also has a matching Tanghulu hairband,” Orochimaru took out a metal Tanghulu hairband and put it on Luffy’s head (see the easter egg picture in the comments).

“Good, very cute,” Orochimaru nodded with satisfaction.

The group looked at Orochimaru’s actions in confusion. Was he acting up again???

Orochimaru didn’t say anything and gave everyone a genuine Tanghulu.

“Try it, it’s delicious, but Luffy has a big appetite so I made him a big one.” The group blinked… Was that all? Everyone took a bite of the Tanghulu.

(﹡ˆoˆ﹡) It’s sweet and sour and delicious! Chopper especially liked it. Sanji was already thinking about how to make this with other fruits. Zoro didn’t care. Usopp was obsessed with Tanghulu.

Only Robin occasionally glanced at Luffy’s head, wanting to say something but not saying anything… but she didn’t say anything. Orochimaru always acted with discretion and wouldn’t put Luffy in danger… right?

Luffy hopped and hummed, exploring the forest, licking the candy from time to time. Orochimaru was really nice.
