Chapter 77 - 77: Deciding on the Team Name After defeating these people, Ryuen and the others were ready to leave for the next destination. Hog and Leah quickly packed their belongings, then, with reluctant expressions, followed Ryuen and the others as they left their home. This place, where they had lived for over ten years, held so many memories for them. But with the coming of war, their peaceful life had come to an end. "Let's go. Maybe one day, you can come back here to retire," Ryuen said softly. Hog and Leah nodded heavily, and the group began heading towards the next destination—what used to be the capital, the largest city on Cozia Island. Nami was supposed to finish the sea chart of Cozia Island today. "Drawing a world map?" "Wow, such a grand dream!" On the way, Ryuen and the others shared their ultimate goal for the team, which left Hog surprised and even a little relieved. So, they really had joined an extraordinary team! Everyone knew about sea charts, but so far, the biggest sea charts only connected nearby islands. A world map didn't exist in this vast sea. If they really pulled this off, everyone who sailed the seas would remember their group! "So, what is the name of our team?" Hog asked eagerly. "A name?" For a moment, Ryuen and the four girls sat cross-legged, thinking it over. Honestly, Ryuen and Nami hadn't thought about a team name. They weren't pirates, so they couldn't just call themselves some pirate crew. "A name... this is a bit tricky..." Ryuen stroked his chin. "We... we don't have a name yet?" Hog was stunned, not even daring to believe it. Their amazing team didn't have a name yet! "I've got one!" Nami suddenly shouted excitedly. "What is it?" "Huh? Nami, you've thought of something? What is it?" "Come on, tell us, what's the name?" The others stopped thinking and eagerly urged her on, their eyes filled with anticipation. "Let's call it... Dream Exploration Team! What do you think?" Nami said with excitement, then looked at everyone, her eyes full of hope. "Dream?" "Exploration Team?" The six of them looked at each other, their expressions puzzled. It sounded a bit odd. "Yes! Dream Exploration Team!" "Think about it, what we're doing isn't just about fulfilling one person's dream. We're going to make it so everyone can fulfill their dreams! That's the real Dream Exploration Team!" Nami stood up, hands on her hips, speaking with confidence. She tilted her head slightly, her eyes filled with determination, as if she could already see the future. Sunlight filtered through the thick trees, casting dappled shadows on the ground. Nami, bathed in the sunlight, looked radiant, her face glowing with a sense of holiness and seriousness. "Wow~~~" "Cool, Nami~~~" The six of them were stunned for a moment, then erupted into loud applause and cheers. They gathered around, their eyes shining with admiration, deeply impressed by Nami's idea. "That's amazing, Nami! This name is really meaningful!" Daisy exclaimed, dancing with excitement. "Hee hee hee, I didn't know Nami was so smart, coming up with such a great name!" Nojiko also couldn't help but praise her. The others all nodded in agreement, giving Nami a thumbs-up in support. Nami grinned, feeling quite pleased with herself. Ryuen naturally agreed as well. He knew that this name represented not only their team spirit but also their determination and courage to chase their dreams. From today on, they would continue to explore the unknown world under the name "Dream Exploration Team," embarking on their legendary journey. From today, Ryuen would be the captain of the Dream Exploration Team, and Nami would be the team's only "expedition doctor!" Of course, the title of doctor was self-appointed, but in the future, everyone on the seas would surely recognize it! Once they had decided on the team name, their spirits seemed to lift, as if they had found a clear goal to strive for. They were all filled with energy and motivation! The group continued their journey. Meanwhile, Nami kept scribbling and drawing, as if she had shut out the whole world and created her own little space. After more than two hours of traveling, they finally reached their destination—the largest city on Cozia Island, Lamenia! The seven of them looked down on the entire city from the mountain. This city, which should have been bustling with life, had now turned into a wasteland, with broken walls and scorched marks everywhere. The destruction showed just how fierce the past battles had been. "Are we going in?" Kuina asked, looking at Ryuen. The others looked at him the same way. Ryuen didn't answer right away. He used his Observation Haki to sense the state of the ruined city. Three words came to mind—extremely chaotic! Even from the mountain, they could clearly hear the occasional gunfire coming from within the city. It seemed like people were dying in the city almost every day. Once a capital, this city was where all the nobles of Cozia Island had lived. But now, with the island destroyed by Germa, the country's order had completely collapsed. The survivors, lacking resources, were increasingly at odds with each other, eventually splitting into several factions. The common folk either attached themselves to these factions or fled to the countryside. But the situation in the countryside was even worse, as even before Germa's attack, it had always been the place with the least resources and food. Now, with Cozia Island in ruins, even the countryside was experiencing sporadic fighting, and no one was willing to farm anymore. "Let's wait for Nami to finish the map of this area. As for whether we should enter the city... we'll decide later," Ryuen murmured as he looked down at the ruined city. "I got it~" Nami responded sweetly. She immediately found a relatively flat spot and began drawing the map of the area. Nojiko and the others also began helping out. Hog and Leah watched as Nami took out one tool after another from her pocket dimension. It all seemed magical to them. They now understood it was the power of a Devil Fruit. This kind of treasure was something they had never heard of before! Now, watching Nami use her abilities each time, it felt new and amazing to them. But after seeing the effects of eating a Devil Fruit, Hog had completely given up on the idea. He didn't want to become a helpless swimmer. After all, he was a shipbuilder, and he would definitely be going out to sea in the future. He couldn't afford to turn into a helpless swimmer. ---- You can read 10 Chapters ahead on my pat reon.com/GMadman
