71: Chapter 71 Return to MarinefordAlthough Miss Barkin's torment continues, the ship is indeed about to arrive at the port of Marineford.
Looking at the familiar buildings in front of him, Wang Lufei couldn't help but laugh, muttering verses from his past life to add to the merriment.
"I left home young and returned old.How can anyone tell if I am male or female?No, no.May I ask where the tavern is?Outside Suzhou, at Hanshan Temple.That's not right either."
Wang Lufei was stunned for a moment, then muttered to himself, "After ten years in this world, I've even forgotten the verses.I'm really getting more and more out of touch with reality, sigh."
Ain, who was behind him, noticed Wang Luffy's unusual behavior and asked with concern, "What's wrong?What happened?"
Wang Lufei turned around and said, "It's nothing, just a bit sentimental, a mix of nervousness and excitement as I get closer to home."
Ain tilted her head and said, "You always use words I don't understand, but even though I don't understand them, I always feel like you're right.It's strange."
Seeing Ain's adorable appearance, Wang Lufei couldn't help but reach out, stand on tiptoe, and pat her head, saying, "Don't think about these things.We're almost home, so cheer up."
Ain didn't resist, enjoying the caresses, and sighed with her eyes half-closed, "Yes, we're home.It's time for us to part ways.I wonder when we'll be able to play together again."
Although we didn't spend a very long time together, I still feel it was the happiest experience of my life.
Wang Lufei comforted me, "Why are you being so sentimental?It's not like we'll never see each other again.The accommodation the base arranged for me is only three buildings away from your place.If you want to meet, just drop by."
After being exposed, Ain became somewhat arrogant, swatting away Wang Luffy's hand and saying, "You're really annoying.You've ruined the atmosphere I was just building.I'm ignoring you now, hmph!"
After finishing her sentence, Ain turned and walked into the cabin, leaving Luffy standing there bewildered, thinking to himself, "Are adult women's minds really this complicated?My Shirahoshi sister is so much better."
Just as Wang Lufei was contemplating life, the ship arrived at the port.Wang Lufei didn't linger on the deck and quickly went down to the ship's prison to prepare to escort Miss.Bakin and Weevil out.
Then it was sent to Kizaru, who then handed it over to Vegapunk to begin developing and manufacturing the Weevil series of Pacifistas.
As Wang Lufei arrived at the prison gate and opened it, letting in some light, Ba Jin, huddled in a corner, trembled as he looked at the light at the entrance and cried out urgently:
"Please, please stop locking me up with this guy.I'll do anything, just please separate me from him.I really can't take it anymore, ahhh, waaaaaah!"
After screaming like a madwoman for a while, Miss.Ba Jinfeng burst into tears again.The wicked will always be punished by the wicked, and seeing her like this, Wang Lufei understood that her limits had been reached.
"Then I'll just hand them over to Vegapunk," thought Luffy, opening the cell door and leading them out.
However, even though it was just a change of location for imprisonment, Miss Bajin's gaze towards Wang Luffy was filled with gratitude, such is the complexity of human nature.
The return of the recruit camp was not celebrated in a particularly grand manner, so Nami and the others did not know that Wang Luffy had returned, and therefore did not go to the port to pick him up.
This made things easier for Wang Lufei, since it wasn't particularly convenient for him to talk to the girls while he was escorting two prisoners.
After disembarking, Luffy informed Zephyr and quickly headed to Kizaru's office.Despite having two prisoners with him, he still arrived at his destination in no time.
Wang Luffy naturally knocked on the door a few times before entering.Looking at Kizaru, who was always trimming his nails whenever he appeared, Wang Luffy couldn't help but smile and say:
"Uncle Yuan, your dear nephew is back.Look what gift I brought you."
Without looking up, Kizaru said, "A gift?Just leave it there, I'll look at it later."
Wang Luffy noticed that something was wrong with Kizaru.Logically speaking, in the past, if Wang Luffy brought Kizaru a gift, Kizaru would at least be very excited and come to check on him immediately.What was going on now?
Then Wang Lufei asked with some doubt, "Uncle Yuan, are you alright?Not checking the gift right away doesn't fit your stingy persona.Do you have a fever today?Should I take you to see a doctor?"
Upon hearing Wang Luffy's words, Kizaru raised his head and said, "What nonsense are you talking about?How could I possibly be sick?"
"Forget about the gift for now.How's it going with that old bastard Zephyr?Has he managed to turn you against him?"
Upon hearing this, Wang Luffy understood that Kizaru was jealous because he was afraid his apprentice would be snatched away by his teacher.
Goodness, how old are you?You're still getting angry and jealous like a child who took your toy?No, if they are children, then what are you?A toy?
Wang Lufei shook his head and then said, "Alright, Uncle Yuan, don't you know what kind of person I am?"
Putting everything else aside, just based on your relationship with my dad, would I go with anyone else?So Uncle Yuan, you can rest assured, I would never abandon you.
Hearing this, Kizaru regained his composure and said, "Alright, I'll believe you this once.Tell me about those two people behind you."
Wang Lufei replied, "This is my gift to you, Uncle Ape."
Kizaru was somewhat surprised and said, "Good lad, as expected of my disciple, you're so stingy, even giving such cheap gifts.Putting everything else aside, just based on their looks, who would want them?"
(Polite Ba Jin: Is that you?)
Wang Luffy replied with a smile, "Uncle Ape, don't underestimate them.This big guy is Edward Weevil, who calls himself Whitebeard Jr., and has the power of Whitebeard in his youth."
This little girl is named Miss Bakkin, the creator of Webull.This somewhat dim-witted yet powerful creature was created by fusing Whitebeard's genes with a Devil Fruit.
If we were to give this technology to Vegapunk, who could then develop it into cyborgs, and even mass-produce them, wouldn't that be a tremendous gift, Uncle Ape?
Upon hearing this, Kizaru's eyes lit up.He carefully examined the two of them and said, "If that's the case, then this is indeed a great gift.Very well, I'll accept this gift.Thank you, Luffy."
Wang Luffy was very happy to see that Kizaru had accepted the two of them.He talked with Kizaru for a while and then left.
After leaving Kizaru's office, Wang Luffy pondered whether to go to Nami and the others first, or to his grandfather and Fleet Admiral Sengoku's place.
However, after only a moment's hesitation, Wang Lufei headed straight for the female soldiers' camp.
After all, Zefa should have already gone to the Marshal's office to report on his work, and if I went there again, I didn't know when I would be able to come out again.
So I'll go to Nami and the others first, spend some more time together, and also tell them about my upcoming trip to the North Sea.
