Chapter 128
‘Boss Nami, it’s so scary! ’
Johnny and Joseph's inner OS was hiding at the edge of the campfire, shivering.
'Why do I have to be beaten too...'
Usopp, who thought he was the most innocent, lay on the ground with a look of despair.
……
"Ha ha!"
Hermione, who had been feeling depressed until now, was amused by Luffy and the others, and she smiled happily. She had never been exposed to people like Luffy since she was a child, nor had she participated in such a unique campfire party.
What a lovely group of people!
While chatting with everyone at the banquet, she gradually understood that these people were all gathered together for their dreams. Although they are also a pirate group, Hermione thinks they are more like an adventure group composed of people chasing dreams.
……
Three days later, a navy warship quietly arrived near the island where the 16th Navy Division was stationed in the East China Sea.
"Report! Colonel Tina, ahead is the 16th Navy Division. We can enter the port in ten minutes."
A second lieutenant ran to the pink-haired female officer wearing a navy justice coat and reported to her that the warship was not far from its destination.
"Tina is very angry. She didn't expect that the entire branch is full of stinky rats. After landing, don't let anyone go. Everyone who has anything to do with rats must be judged!"
"Yes!"
"Also report to the headquarters that Colonel Mouse was killed by the new Straw Hat Pirates in the East China Sea. Let the headquarters issue a reward for Monkey D. Luffy, the leader of the Straw Hat Pirates!"
"Yes!"
……
The storm ended and the sun shone on the wet deck again. The exhausted people lay on the deck without any image. They were already soaked and didn't care about the soaked deck.
"Clean up! You can't do this, it's easy to catch a cold!"
Hermione walked out of the room and first used Cleansing Isshin on Nami who was wiping her body with a towel to clean away all the moisture on her body. Then he criticized the others lying on the ground.
"Haha, thank you. Little Hermione!"
After Nami found that her clothes and hair were dry instantly, she looked up and found Hermione standing in front of her. Looking at the wand in Hermione's hand, Nami understood that this was her credit.
He hung the towel in his hand around his neck, then walked up to Hermione and hugged her tightly. Use your newly clean cheek to kiss Hermione's little face affectionately.
"Little Hermione, I want to get dry too! Ah Sneeze~"
Usopp ran over from nowhere, and in order to gain Hermione's sympathy, he even sneezed on purpose.
"I want it too, little Hermione!"
"Haha, I told you there must be a magician on board!"
"Idiot Luffy, Hermione is a wizard! A wizard!"
"That's enough for you guys! Can't you go back and change into clean clothes by yourself? What should Hermione do if she's tired?"
Looking at the four people who suddenly gathered around, Nami angrily stood in front of Hermione and yelled at them to solve the problem of wet clothes on their own.
"It's okay, Sister Nami! I need to use more magic spells to increase my strength. Only when I become stronger can I catch up with Noel and not become a burden to him."
Hermione pulled Nami's arm, a trace of longing revealed in her firm eyes. She has been separated from Noel for half a month. During this half month, she became the "magician" of the Straw Hat Pirates and followed Luffy and others to start a life of adventure at sea.
After Noel shared some secrets with her, she approached Luffy and asked to join his pirate group.
"Noel, you are too strong. I don't want to be a burden to you. I have to work hard to become stronger!"
Hermione understood that Noel, who seemed invincible, would have very powerful enemies in the future.
She—Hermione Granger is not the kind of girl who hides behind people and needs protection. She wants to fight alongside Noel.
"Noel, I will definitely give you a surprise next time I see you! You have instilled so much magical knowledge into me, and I will definitely digest it into my own when I see you."
Faith is always the driving force for people to move forward.
……
"Master, Tina has discovered the whereabouts of Bucky the Clown, but he is also accompanied by the wanted 'Iron Rod' Arrita."
In an office on a warship at the Navy Headquarters, Colonel Tina opened the door and walked next to a young man who was studying an ancient book "Devil Fruit Illustrated Book" in his hand.
"The Slippery Fruit users are also here, that's just right. You bring ten new marines and go over and catch them. Remember to bring the Sea Tower Stone Fishing Net. The devil fruit abilities of these two are a bit tricky. Your sword attacks are very difficult for them. None of them work."
Noel closed the book in his hand and ordered Tina who came in.
"Okay, Master. Tina understands!"
After receiving Noel's order, Tina left the office. She now no longer has the power of the Devil Fruit, and the only method she can use is the swordsmanship that has not made progress for many years.
‘The master has given Tina so many weapons, Tina will definitely not let her down. ’
After muttering in a low voice, Tina called over ten naval soldiers. They looked just like normal navy soldiers, but upon closer inspection, they all had a Black family crest on their arms.
……
The time for hunting has come.
A Noel hunt for all Devil Fruit users.
After taking away Luffy's rubber fruit ability, Noel has understood his mission in this One Piece world, which is to absorb all devil fruits.
Regardless of the conspiracy of that cheating ancestor, how could Noel miss such a quick way to become stronger.
How bold a man is and how fruitful he is.
Noel, who has always been cautious, cannot withstand this kind of temptation. Besides, even if he doesn't hunt these Devil Fruit users, he will just wait a month and return to Hogwarts?
Must not be possible!
Noel thought about it. If he didn't go hunting, then his ancestor must have some back-up plan. For example, let these Devil Fruit users come to him together.
Well...this situation is definitely not what Noel wants to see. In order not to "passively" absorb the Devil Fruit's ability, Noel decided to become the active party.
So after the bonfire party at Nokigao's house, he explained the situation to Hermione and asked Hermione to "travel" with Luffy. In order to ensure Hermione's safety, Noel secretly hid the scabbard of the Sword of Victory "given" to him by Gilgamesh inside Hermione's body.
Although the scabbard-Avalon is far from being able to fully exert its capabilities in this One Piece world, there is absolutely no problem in protecting Hermione from death.
Finally, when they were parting, Noel left a mark on Hermione. Whenever Hermione encountered a threat to her life, Noel could sense it immediately. After passing the mark position, he could instantly apparate to Hermione's side. .
