Chapter 7 The Burning Nightmare

“Ha?~”

Nami's thinking was obviously short-circuited for a moment, and she thought for a long time and never expected Bai Xiao to give such a reason.

Can...cute?!

Huh!

A wisp of flame swept past and landed on a stack of charts piled up in the corner of the room. The chart immediately burned. The fire had not spread yet, but the temperature in the room had suddenly increased.

"Ah, this is it?"

Nami's thoughts were pulled back, and she stared at the scene in the room with wide eyes.

"Since I want you to be my crew, how can you allow you to carry these useless memories? Could it be that you still have any souvenirs for those hand-painted charts?"

Bai Xiao said lazyly, not thinking there was anything wrong with his approach.

Nami looked at the burning charts silently, but her eyes were filled with joy, like a heavy stone that had been pressed in her heart for a long time, and was finally smashed to pieces at this moment.

In two years, Nami has drawn hundreds or thousands of charts for Aaron, but she never thought it was her own efforts, but a tangible torture.

Every time there is an extra chart, Nami's heart will feel even more painful. When drawing a chart, she often can't help but recall all the past in her mind.

Aaron's rampage, the disaster in Kokosia Village, Belmer who stood up for her, and the nightmare gunshot.

At this time, the flames spreading in the room were like swallowing up the accumulated pain little by little. Nami felt a soreness in her nose. Although she wanted to control it, her tears finally slid silently.

Under the flames, Nami, who was emotionally excited, slowly turned around. Her eyes met Bai Xiao, who was still in a casual manner for the first time without burden. She whispered: "Thank you."

"I can understand such a thank you as a response to the invitation?"

Bai Xiao naturally understood the meaning of Nami's thanks.

"I will try my best to help you. Although I am still young and have not yet understood many things deeply, I will study hard."

Nami finally gave a positive response. More than half of this response was sincere, and the other half was caused by the fuel of emotional release.

After all, Nami still has a lot of reluctance to give up on this village that is the second hometown, but her intuition tells her that the man in front of her is the kind of person she can trust.

After experiencing the nightmare brought by Aaron, Nami has become more cherishing this hard-earned freedom. Although Bai Xiao’s identity is unknown, since he has decided to sail the world, it just coincides with her dream.

Nami's dream is to travel around the world, see the oceans of the world with her own eyes, and draw the most comprehensive world map.

However, because the kingdom of his hometown was attacked by pirates, Nami has always had disgust with pirates.

"Save it for the future, and all this depends on your interests. I should have said that once you get on my boat, you will be the freest person."

Bai Xiao poked his thumb behind him. The fire in the measurement room had gradually spread. If he didn't leave, Xiao Nami, who had just "caught" her, might be burned into a small pepper.

"Um."

Nami nodded vigorously, then followed Bai Xiao's pace and the two left the measurement room together.

"That, captain?"

As he ran on the stairs leading to the lower level, Nami thought about it for a moment and made a tentative voice.

Although Bai Xiao said that his identity is not defined by the word "pirate", since he decided to set sail, there should be no problem calling the other party the captain.

"What's up?"

"I don't know your name yet, oh, by the way, my name is Nami, I like oranges and treasures."

Nami seemed to have adapted to getting along with Bai Xiao, and even expressed her 'hobby' likes'.

"Bai Xiao."

"Captain Bai Xiao, I still have something I have to deal with before leaving."

When he said this, Nami subconsciously glanced at the tattoo on her arm.

"You do have something you have to do, and I don't want my crew members to leave a garbage mark on their arms."

Bai Xiao spoke gently.

Nami's steps were slightly paused, and a little turbulent appeared in her heart. She did not expect that Bai Xiao, who seemed careless, would have such a delicate side, and she actually noticed the tattoo on her arm.

The tattoo was a tattoo she had to be forced to become a cadre of the Aaron Pirates. Every time she saw it, she couldn't help but want to pierce the ugly pattern with a sharp knife.

But suddenly, Nami realized something else and glanced at Bai Xiao with a little guilty conscience.

“How about replacing it with the orange you like?”

When Bai Xiao noticed Nami's gaze, he also thought of something.

But his sudden words hit Nami's heart again. Her eyes were a little dull and even a little incredible. She didn't understand at all. Why was Bai Xiao, who was just the first time meeting, so thoughtful and warm to every injured corner in her heart.

Soon, Bai Xiao took Nami out of the building, and the injured Xiaoba and Croobi disappeared. Most of them used the "octopus pot" to leave Aaron Park. These two swimming pools actually connect the sea, so it is very convenient to run away.

Along was killed and the cadres died or fled. At this point, Along Park was completely declared to be destroyed. Bai Xiao didn't care what would happen later. He always acted only by his own ideas.

When they returned to Kokoxia Village, Nami met her sister Nokigao with excitement at the first time. Even though they had disputes and differences when they grew up together, after they reunited again, all the troubles disappeared, counting the scars of memories, crying and laughing to the fullest.

The same is true for the misunderstanding between Nami and the village. In fact, the anger and disgust shown by Nami joining the Aaron Pirates is a disguise and understanding. They know that Nami chose to sacrifice herself to redeem the village and force herself to accept Aaron's invitation.

From beginning to end, Bai Xiao did not show up in public. Just leave these things to Nami herself. This is her happy time.

Bai Xiao did not plan to sail immediately, but instead took the initiative to let Nami take advantage of this period of time to digest her mood. She used the resurrected Shadow Corps to temper her body and combat consciousness.

Although the Holy Lord system is an extremely reliable means of leaping abilities, Bai Xiao is not so stupid that he relies entirely on the system. If he wants to do whatever he wants in this vast ocean with undercurrents, it is necessary and the only way to go.

By the way, Bai Xiao simply treated the wound on his left shoulder. Relying on his physical properties, wounds of this level can be slowly repaired over time.

Three days later.

Cocosia Village Coast.

"Captain Bai Xiao!"

Please ask the best master in the village to replace the arm tattoo with the symbol of the "windmill" and the orange pattern. Nami saw Bai Xiao on the boat from afar and waved.

Not far behind her, Ajian and Norqigao followed secretly. Even though Nami specifically told them not to see her off, it was said that Nami was going to sail with a man, no matter what, they would not be at ease.

"Is that Nami's boyfriend? Although I can't see clearly, I seem to be quite handsome. I didn't expect that Nami is really good at sensibility."

Master Noqi held his cheek, locked his eyes on Bai Xiao at the bow of the boat, and nodded continuously after looking at it.

"Hmph, because Nami emphasizes and trust, and is also the benefactor of saving the village, otherwise I would never hand over Nami to any man."

Ajian seems tough in his attitude, but in fact he is full of gentleness. He is the man who most desires Nami to be happy. For Nami, Ajian plays a role like his father.

"Mr. Ajian, this is still the same kind of virtue, but looking at the smile on Nami's face, it seems that she is really happy."

Noqi Gao first teased Ajian beside him, and then said from the bottom of his heart.

"If I dare to let the smile on Nami's face disappear, even if I chase him to the ends of the world, I will not let him go."
