Chapter 48: Returning to Cocoyasi Village

Chapter 48 - 48: Returning to Cocoyasi Village After sailing for more than half an hour, the merchant ship finally docked at Cocoyasi Village. "Captain Gulachi, you're finally back!" "Captain Gulachi, was this trip smooth?" "Captain Gulachi..." Seeing Captain Gulachi's merchant ship return, the people at the port were very excited and eager to please. After all, the price Captain Gulachi offered for buying oranges this time was really high. "Hahaha, of course! Don't worry, villagers, from now on, I'll increase the price of buying oranges by 20%!" Captain Gulachi announced happily. "Really, Captain Gulachi?" the villagers asked excitedly. "Of course, I found a good market. From now on, our Cocoyasi Village oranges can sell for a good price!" Captain Gulachi replied honestly. "That's great!" "Captain Gulachi, you are amazing!" "That's wonderful, we will finally become rich!" Seeing Captain Gulachi so sincere, the people at the port were extremely excited and praised Captain Gulachi. Captain Gulachi and the crew were also very happy. Although the price of buying oranges had increased a lot, they could still make a lot of money. Ryuen and his friends were not interested in joining the excitement. As soon as they returned to the port, they went back to Nami's studio on the top floor of their home through Nami's special space. "Bellemere, we're back~~~" "Bellemere, we're back, and we brought gifts for you and Genzo~~~" As soon as they returned to the manor, Nami and Nojiko shouted excitedly. Kuina and Daisy came out of the special space and were immediately shocked by the large manor in front of them. They didn't expect Ryuen's home to be so big. "Wow, this place is huge..." Daisy's eyes widened as she looked at the manor. "Ryuen, your home is so big..." Kuina thought their dojo was already big, but it was nothing compared to this manor. "Hahaha, of course, from now on, this is your home too. Come on, I'll take you to meet Bellemere." As soon as they got home, Ryuen happily led Kuina and Daisy to Bellemere. "So, our Cocoyasi Village oranges can sell for a good price now?" Ryuen brought Kuina and Daisy to the hall and saw Bellemere asking about the oranges. "Of course, we played a part in that~~~" Nami boasted proudly. "Bellemere, this is Kuina and Daisy. Kuina, Daisy, this is our kind and beautiful Bellemere~~" Ryuen introduced them excitedly. "Bellemere, hello~~" Daisy said shyly. "Bellemere, we'll be in your care from now on!" Kuina was much more confident than Daisy. "Hello, Daisy, Kuina, feel at home here!" Bellemere, with a cigarette in her mouth, looked at the two girls and smiled gently. Ryuen had already told Bellemere about Kuina and Daisy. For both sides, they had already communicated through the Den Den Mushi, so now that they met, everyone was very happy. While everyone was getting to know each other, Genzo arrived. He had just been patrolling Cocoyasi Village with the guard team. After learning that Captain Gulachi had returned, he quickly came to Bellemere's house. After all, Ryuen and the others had been away for more than half a month, and Genzo was very worried. Now that he saw the kids had returned safely, he was relieved. After being apart for more than half a month, the first thing to do when they got home was, of course, to have a feast~~ So even before evening, the manor was already filled with the aroma of meat. With Kuina and Daisy now, the feast was even more lively! Marine Base at Rogue Town, Polaris Island. Due to the arrival of Vice Admiral Garp, the entire base was extremely excited. After all, Vice Admiral Garp is a Marine hero! In the base chief's office, Garp was learning about the situation between the East Blue Marines and the pirates. East Blue is Garp's hometown, so he naturally pays a lot of attention to it. After finishing the official business, Garp started talking to the base chief Hobart about Ryuen and the other kids. "Ryuen?" Captain Hobart was a bit puzzled by this. Who is this lucky young man who has caught the attention of the Marine hero, Vice Admiral Garp, and even made him pay special attention? "Ha ha ha ha, yes, this is a very brave little guy. Let me tell you, this little guy actually dared to argue with me in front of Bogart!" Garp seemed very happy when he mentioned Ryuen. He had never met such an interesting kid. "Argue with you in front of Adjutant Bogart?" Captain Hobart was instantly shocked. You have to know that Bogart is a master swordsman, and he always exudes a sharp aura. But hearing Vice Admiral Garp say that this kid dared to argue with him in front of Bogart, well~~~ it indeed takes a lot of courage. No wonder Vice Admiral Garp values this kid named Ryuen so much! "I understand, I will pay attention in the future, Vice Admiral Garp. By the way, Vice Admiral Garp, do you have a photo of this kid?" Captain Hobart asked. Then, Bogart, who had been silent on the side, took out a few photos and handed them to Hobart. Captain Hobart took the photos and was instantly surprised when he saw the people in the photos: "It's these two kids!!!" "Huh? Hobart, do you know them?" Garp asked. Captain Hobart came back to his senses and said, "Yes, Vice Admiral Garp, I know these two kids named Ryuen and Nami. They came to Rogue Town before. At that time, I saw that this kid was extraordinary and wanted to invite him to join the Marines, but he refused." "They came to Rogue Town?" Garp looked at Captain Hobart in surprise. He never expected that Ryuen had been to this place before. At this moment, Captain Hobart detailed the events that happened during that time to Vice Admiral Garp, including the entanglements between Ryuen and Kazuma. Garp became more and more interested in Ryuen. He immediately gave orders to Hobart to record all matters related to Ryuen and the other kids in detail in the future. Without a doubt, with Garp's years of experience, he judged that a young talent like Ryuen would definitely make a name for himself on the vast ocean in the future. Whether these kids eventually choose to join the Marines or become pirates, the Marines need to collect and organize their information. However, far away from Rogue Town, Ryuen and the others had no idea what was happening here. --- ---- You can read 10 Chapters ahead on my pat reon.com/GMadman
