Bab 9: Intense Storm
• • •
The sun was beginning to set, casting a warm, golden hue across the sea. As the newly upgraded boat sailed through the calm waves.
Kreee!!
A sea eagle flew in the sky, enjoying the freedom it had to fly anywhere.
On the boat, Nojiko, holding a small pouch of tangerine seeds, looked at Nami with a smile. "I brought these from the house. I thought it might be nice to keep growing these as I have been for the last few years."
Nami's eyes lit up at the sight of the seeds. "That's a great idea, Nojiko! We can plant them once we find a suitable spot on the boat." She turned to Elian. "What do you think? Maybe we can create a little garden area."
Elian chuckled. "Sure, why not? It'll be nice to have some fresh fruit while we're out at sea."
As they continued sailing, the conversation shifted to where they would go first. "So, where are we heading next?" Nami asked, so she could navigate safely and find a fast route to their next island before their main destination.
Elian, leaning back against the boat railing, looked over at the endless sea. "I was thinking we could head towards Syrup Village. I heard there's someone there who might be able to help us upgrade the ship even more."
While that was one of the reasons Elian wanted to go to Syrup Village, the main reason was to recruit Kaya as their crew's doctor. Since she wanted to become a doctor and had medical knowledge, she was most suitable for the Devil Fruit Elian found while looking for something to heal his injury.
His injury still hadn't completely healed, so he was looking in the shop for something that could heal him when he found this.
[Shop (426 coins):
Devil Fruit -
• Basic Paramecia - 100 coins

(Buying a fruit that already has a user will cost twice as much as the original price)]
[Basic Paramecia:
Chiyu Chiyu no Mi (Healing-Healing Fruit) - A Devil Fruit that grants the user the ability to heal themselves and others from injuries, illnesses, and regenerate lost limbs. The user can also purify toxins and boost physical recovery etc... 100 coins]
Elian bought this fruit just as he found it; it was an overpowered support-Devil Fruit and cheap. He thought of giving it to Nojiko but decided against it since she didn't have any medical knowledge. That's why he's going to Syrup Village to recruit Kaya and give this fruit to her.
Hearing Elian, Nami nodded in agreement. "Syrup Village is also on the way to Loguetown, where all pirates have to pass if they want to enter the Grand Line. So it's better to go there."
Elian had already told them about his plan to enter the Grand Line, so Nami planned their route accordingly.
The group chatted for a while longer, discussing their future plans. However, as the night fell and the wind picked up, growing faster, Nami's expression turned serious.
"Hold on." she said, her eyes watching the dark sky. "The wind is picking up, and those clouds don't look good. I think we're in for a storm."
Elian felt excited as he looked around. He had never faced a real storm in his past life, so this was going to be his first. "Oh, then let's secure everything on the deck and head inside the cabin."
They quickly moved to prepare the boat for the incoming storm. Nojiko and Nami worked together to store the supplies and secure the sails, while Elian steered the boat, trying to keep it stable as the waves grew larger and the wind intensified.
But as it was getting harder for him to stabilize it, he clicked on the blue button, which automatically steered the wheel, keeping the boat stable.
The rain started suddenly, a downpour that soaked them within seconds. They quickly finished securing everything before rushing into the small cabin for shelter.
Inside, the cabin was cramped, with just enough room for the three of them to sit side by side on the single bed. The storm outside continued, and the boat rocked violently with the waves. The sound of the wind and rain was a little scary; inside, only Nami was calm, as she had encountered storms several times.
Cuddled together, they tried to make themselves comfortable. Nami sat in the middle, with Elian on one side and Nojiko on the other.
Nami's boobs pressed against Elian's arm. On top of that, he could see their upper bodies clearly because of their wet clothes. Fortunately, the storm's frightening sounds kept his sword from rising.
The warmth from their bodies helped remove the chill from their wet clothes. As the boat moved up and down with the waves, they leaned closer together.
"This is... crazy and cozy." Elian said, snuggling closer to Nami, brushing his arm against her chest on purpose.
Nami rolled her eyes but smiled. "Yeah, not exactly what I expected from you, getting scared by a storm despite having travelled the world, but it's not so bad." She thought Elian was pressing his arm against her because he was frightened of the storm.
She glanced at her sister. "You okay, Nojiko?"
Nojiko nodded, a blush on her cheek because of her wet clothes. "I'm fine. Just... wasn't expecting a storm on our first day at sea."
Elian laughed. "Well, this is part of the pirate life. Unpredictable weather and unexpected situations. Plus, this isn't anything compared to the Grand Line, so we have to get used to it."
"Ah, I see. But Elian, you still didn't tell me about your secret. So how about it right now? There's nothing else we can do at the moment anyway." Nojiko said, while Nami listened to their talk quietly.
"Oh, okay—I'll tell you." Hearing her, Elian got nervous, as he didn't really have any secrets. He only got powerful because of his system, but he couldn't tell her about the system. So he made up some fake information to tell her.
"Well, I have been wandering and researching around the whole world for quite a few years, so I learned those techniques from the people I met while traveling."
He didn't want to lie to them, but he couldn't really tell them the truth about him being from another world and the like, which might invite unwanted conflicts that he could prevent with a simple lie.
Nojiko nodded and requested, "Then can you please teach me those techniques too?"
"Me too! Even with the Devil Fruit powers, I don't have enough offensive powers." Nami chimed in.
Elian nodded, as he had already decided to make them stronger so he could enjoy his time in this world while they fought for him. Though, he still planned to use most of his resources to make himself powerful first.
For a while, they sat in comfortable silence, listening to the storm outside and feeling the beat of each other's hearts. As the rain continued to pour down.
Nami and Elian glanced at Nojiko, who was starting to drift off to sleep, her head resting against Nami's shoulder.
On the other hand, both Nami and Elian were feeling hot due to their skin being constantly in contact with each other.
Elian couldn't hold back any longer, so he did the most perverted thing anyone in the universe could do.
He moved his hand and wrapped it around Nami's. Surprising Nami, but she didn't reject it; instead, she accepted it while blushing.
Slowly, the heat between them increased as they looked into each other's eyes. Both of them closed their eyes as they leaned in, their faces slowly drawing closer. Soon, Elian could feel soft, warm lips on his own.
They pressed their lips against each other's, their lips moving in sync. Elian opened his mouth slightly, starting to suck on Nami's lower lip. Nami responded by licking his upper lips with her tongue, and they kept kissing for several seconds before separating, breathing heavily. Both looked into each other's eyes as Nami turned her head away, her face flushed with embarrassment.
"Ahh, haah, again!" Elian breathed heavily and used his hand to turn Nami's face as he went in for another kiss.
Naturally, Nami didn't reject it and accepted it lustfully.
Both of them didn't have experience with kissing, so they were just sucking and pressing their lips against each other, exchanging sloppy kisses.
After a while, both of them stopped and stayed silent, listening to the sound of the wind and waves outside.
Slowly, both Elian, and Nami drifted off to sleep as well.
As the night went on, the storm began to subside. The rain slowed to a gentle drip-drop, and the wind slowed down. The boat sailed swiftly on the now-calmer sea, and a sliver of moonlight peeked through the clouds.
