Chapter 386 - 225

Chapter 225: Night Voyage · Surge of the Heart!At midnight, the sunny was immersed in a tranquility quite different from the clamor of a banquet.The modified ship seemed to have a breath of its own.A low, rhythmic hum came from the Engine Room, like the snoring of a great beast in deep sleep;Every blade of grass on the lawn glowed with a faint bioluminescence under the Moonlight, like scattered stardust.The automatic surveillance system had been activated.An invisible energy field enveloped the entire ship, and any unidentified life form approaching would be silently marked.The telescope on the Lookout Tower rotated slowly on its own, its lens occasionally catching the phosphorescence of the distant sea or a passing flying fish.The sunny no longer needed a night watch... When Luffy slipped out of the Captain's Cabin, the first thing he saw was that figure leaning against the railing.Nami had her back to him, facing the sea.The night wind was cooler than the day, blowing her curly orange hair like seaweed; the ends occasionally brushed against the railing, making a faint rustling sound.She wasn't wearing her usual short skirt, but had changed into a simple white T-shirt.The cotton fabric shimmered softly in the Moonlight, hugging the curves of her body; the line from her neck to her waist was as smooth as the horizon.On her lower half was a pair of light-colored shorts, the hem stopping right at the middle of her thighs."Nami, why aren't you back in bed yet?"Luffy's voice sounded exceptionally clear in the silence.He walked to her side, his rubber arm naturally resting on the railing, just a few centimeters away from her shoulder.Nami didn't answer immediately.She turned her head, and at that moment, the Moonlight fully illuminated her face.Her bright eyes were like two clear springs, reflecting the stars and moon in the sky and the phosphorescence on the sea.Her small nose cast a faint shadow to the side, and her pale pink lips were slightly pursed, as if she were pondering some difficult problem.Her fair skin was almost transparent under the Moonlight, and the extremely fine fuzz on her cheeks was visible.The wind blew, and a few strands of hair stuck to the corner of her lips. She raised her hand to brush them away, her fingertips dazzlingly white in the Moonlight.Luffy's gaze subconsciously shifted downward.Those long, straight legs extended from beneath the shorts.The Moonlight flowed over her skin, outlining the firm lines of her calves and the soft contours of her knees.Her ankles were slender, and her bare feet stepped on the cool deck, her ten toes curling slightly from the chill of the night wind."What's wrong?" Luffy tilted his head, his smile still as carefree as ever, "Are you still worried about Golden Lion?"He reached out his right hand and naturally pulled Nami's shoulder closer.His palm pressed against the cotton fabric of her T-shirt, and he could feel the warm skin beneath the cloth, as well as her slightly protruding shoulder blades."Don't worry,"Luffy leaned close to her ear and lowered his voice,"He's no match for me!"The top of Nami's head reached just below his chin, and the scent of oranges mixed with sunlight drifted into his nose.Her back was against his chest, and the T-shirt fabric was thin enough to feel each other's temperature."I'm not worried at all."Her voice was muffled, coming from the level of his chest.She raised her right hand, covering his hand that was draped over her shoulder.Nami turned around in his embrace.This movement changed their posture into a face-to-face hug.Her slender, fair arms wrapped around Luffy's neck.Their bodies pressed even closer together.Luffy could feel the soft curves under the T-shirt, smell the faint scent of oranges in her breath, and see her upturned face looking breathtakingly beautiful in the Moonlight."Hee hee..."Nami laughed, her eyes curving into crescents.But within those crescents, there shimmered a moist, gentle light tinged with a bit of mischief."Do you still remember what you promised me?"She asked softly, her voice like a siren's whisper, every syllable striking a chord in Luffy's heart.Luffy's brain began to spin rapidly.However, in the next second, Nami suddenly looked up.Those eyes, which usually held a mischievous starlight, were now brimming like spring water,A misty vapor overflowed her eyelashes, carrying an astonishing sense of charm,Looking much like the most alluring tide on the Caribbean Sea before a storm.In the next instant, those tempting red lips, carrying the salty scent of the sea breeze, pressed forward without warning."Mph!"A warm and soft sensation unexpectedly covered his lips, and a hot, lingering temperature instantly exploded.Luffy's brain buzzed, and for a moment, it went completely blank.He didn't even have time to think; he subconsciously tightened his arms, pulling Nami's slender waist firmly into his embrace.The unique recklessness and heat of a youth burst forth completely at this moment,He took the initiative, forcefully and swiftly kissing her lips, prying open those soft teeth with an irresistible force, deepening the kiss regardless of everything.One second,Two seconds,Three seconds,As their lips and teeth intertwined, their warm breaths tangled together.Nami only felt a numbing current surge from her lips through her entire body; her strength seemed to be swept away by a wave, her fingertips trembled slightly, and she could barely even stand.The focus of her pupils gradually blurred, and her eyelashes, which originally held a hint of panic, gently lowered as she closed her eyes, letting herself drown in this sudden palpitation.After a long time, their lips parted.An ambiguous silver thread lingered between their lips before suddenly snapping.Nami slumped limply in Luffy's arms, her cheeks flushed like the sunset,Her gaze was as hazy as a coastline shrouded in mist, and she seemed to have lost even the strength to speak... "I was clearly here first!"Nami's voice was thick with a nasal tone, the end of her words trembling uncontrollably; that sense of grievance surged out like the rising tide.She clenched her fists, her fingertips turning white from the force, and her eyes were as red as water-soaked cherries:"I'm clearly your official girlfriend... but what happened?"Her voice suddenly rose, carrying a sob of accusation, as tears finally broke free from the constraints of her eyes:"You actually did that kind of thing with another woman... that kind of thing, you've never even done it with me!!""Waaaaah..."Crystal tears fell like broken pearls, one after another hitting the deck and blooming into a small wet patch.She turned her head away, her shoulders shaking slightly, causing even her signature long orange hair to tremble along with her.Looking at her like this, the corner of Luffy's mouth twitched uncontrollably as he groaned inwardly.Please!Before that, he was clearly just a pure-hearted virgin!Who could have expected Hancock to be so proactive?The whole process was so efficient it was practically a point-blank ultimate!That was Boa Hancock!The recognized number one beauty in the world!Facing such a direct and passionate offensive, how could a greenhorn like him, who had never experienced such a situation, possibly hold back!But Luffy didn't dare say a single word of that.He knew all too well that if he really let out the honest truth in his heart, with Nami's explosive temper, what would greet him would definitely be a merciless serving of her Iron Fist.He quickly put on a fawning smile and softened his tone to coax her:"Alright, alright, don't be angry anymore! In my heart, you're the best!!""I don't want to hear your explanations!"Her warm lips pressed against his mouth.Surging like a raging fire."Take me."Nami's breathless murmur sounded between their lips and teeth."How many times did it happen between you two?!""Are you sure?"Luffy was a bit surprised; he hadn't expected Namito be so decisive."Go... go to my room!!"After saying those few words, her whole body seemed to have been steamed, with even her exposed neck and collarbones turning pink.Her eyes were fixed on the floor, not daring to look at Luffy's expression."Okay!"Luffy did not hesitate.His arms exerted force, easily lifting Nami's entire body.His left hand went under the crook of her knees, and his right hand wrapped around her shoulders and back in a standard princess carry.Nami gave a light cry and instinctively hugged his neck tightly.Her body was lighter than he imagined, her frame slender, and her skin warm.The white T-shirt lifted at one corner during the movement, revealing a section of her snowy-white waist.Her long, straight legs hung naturally in his arms, the Moonlight flowing over every inch of her smooth skin.Luffy carried her, walking toward Nami's hallway.The sound of footsteps echoed in the silent cabin, mixing with the equally rapid heartbeats of the two.Nami buried her face in the crook of his neck, her hot breath brushing against his skin again and again. But after a few steps, she slowly raised her head.Her moist, beautiful eyes shimmered under the dim hallway light, like gems soaked in spring water.She looked at Luffy.She looked at this rubber idiot who was holding her, wearing a straw hat, and always laughing so mindlessly.She watched him walk all the way here from that small fishing village in the East Blue, watching as he stole her dreams, her hometown, and her heart... bit by bit, everything.The fire in her gaze gradually softened, turning into a pool of spring water.It was the look a Navigator gives to their most cherished sea chart, the look a jeweler gives to a peerless gem, the look... a woman gives to the man she loves.Full of tenderness, without reservation.Luffy looked down, meeting her gaze.For once, there was no smile on his face, only a focused and serious expression.He understood all the emotions in those eyes.The unease, the desire, the courage, and that thorny tenderness unique to Nami.At the end of the hallway, the door to Nami's room was slightly ajar.Moonlight leaked through the crack of the door, casting a silver line on the floor.Luffy used his toe to gently push the door open.Inside, nautical charts swayed slightly on the walls, and the scent of Orange Incense drifted faintly.On the bed, which wasn't particularly spacious, the sheets were a sky-like light blue.He walked in and closed the door with his heel."Click."The light sound was exceptionally clear in the silence.Outside the door, the sunny continued its voyage, and the eyes of the Lion Figurehead on the bow shimmered with a gentle light in the deep sea night.
