Chapter 34: Chapter 34: Tashigi, Quite Suitable for Water Breathing
"Blub blub, blub blub!"
In the town of Loguetown, Smoker's brow furrowed slightly as he reached out to answer the Den Den Mushi.
"Hello, this is Smoker."
"Hina?"
Upon hearing Hina's voice, Smoker's eyes lit up.
"Hina, have you concluded your investigation regarding Captain Nezumi and the Arlong Pirates?"
"Yes, Hina has gathered quite a bit of information! Captain Nezumi indeed has dealings with the Arlong Pirates, and over the years, he's been involved in many unsavory activities."
"Damn it, it's true after all! That Captain Nezumi is truly a worm within the Navy."
Smoker's fist slammed onto his desk, his anger almost overflowing from his eyes.
"Hina, do you know who's behind the Navy soldiers calling to report to my side?"
After calming his anger a bit, Smoker couldn't help but feel curious about the person who resolved the Arlong Pirates incident.
"It's a man named Rosen and his two companions."
"Later, this man will come to Loguetown, and you will meet him."
"When that happens, if he asks you for the bounties of the Arlong Pirates and the Black Cat Pirates, remember to hand them over to him."
"These pirates were captured by Rosen, and I will take them through the Calm Belt to the Grand Line."
Hina spoke.
"The bounty is not a problem, after all, your ship might not carry so many berries."
"But don't you need to return to Loguetown?"
"My subordinate Tashigi is still there with you."
Smoker frowned.
"As for Tashigi, she will later board Rosen's ship to Loguetown."
"What? Why would Tashigi go to sea with this Rosen?"
"Tashigi handed her sword over to one of Rosen's companions and is now learning swordsmanship under Rosen."
"Handed over her sword? Learning swordsmanship? Hina, what on earth is happening over there?"
At this moment, a big question mark popped up in Smoker's mind.
"Here's what happened..."
Hina slowly explained, revealing Rosen's manipulation of Tashigi and Nojiko into a duel.
Gradually, Smoker's brow furrowed tighter.
"Rosen's swordsmanship is quite exquisite."
"At times, he can move as fast as 'Shave' with his swordsmanship."
"And when Rosen uses his swordsmanship, he can even condense elemental powers such as water, lightning, and fire."
"Hina thinks that if Tashigi can learn one of them, it will greatly help her growth."
Finally, Hina explained why she agreed to let Tashigi stay behind.
"Being able to manipulate elemental powers, and this power can also be taught to others."
"It's somewhat interesting."
"If Hina thinks Tashigi can be entrusted to Rosen, I have no objections."
"Later, I'll keep an eye on this man."
Smoker said.
Hina nodded, giving Smoker some instructions about Rosen before hanging up the Den Den Mushi and jumping off the deck of the Explorer with the pirates she received from Rosen.
"Hey! What are you doing here?"
"Wait, are you taking Jango and the others away?"
"You haven't paid the berries yet."
Nami emerged from the bushes, watching Hina jump from the Explorer to the ground, her eyes filled with some doubt.
"For the berries, you can ask a Captain named Smoker in Loguetown."
"No, what if you deny that Jango and the others were caught by us?"
"Taking away Jango and the others is Captain Rosen's orders. If you don't believe it, you can ask him."
Hina glanced at Nami, then turned and walked towards the other side of the sea.
"What! Captain Rosen isn't afraid the Navy won't acknowledge it?"
Nami pouted and jumped onto the deck of the Explorer.
And quickly rushed to Rosen's captain's room.
"Hey, Nojiko, what's wrong with you?"
Just as she pushed open the door of the captain's room, Nami saw Nojiko coming out of the dojo, with only a few tattered cloth pieces hanging on her body.
"Just finished the challenge, my clothes... were burned by flames."
Nojiko opened her hand and looked at herself, casually wiping off the remaining pieces of cloth on her body.
"Flames? Aren't you learning the Water Breathing? Why would your opponent have flames during the challenge?"
"Indeed, it's Water Breathing, but my opponent also masters the power of Sun Breathing. And the power of that flame is strong."
"I see... wait, wouldn't you be exposed to Captain Rosen like this?"
"He's now teaching a Navy named Tashigi in the gym."
"I see! Hehe, if Captain Rosen knew he missed the chance to see Nojiko in the nude, he would definitely regret it."
Nami smiled, bumping Nojiko's body with her shoulder.
Then she opened the gym door and ran in.
"I have something to do with Captain Rosen, I'll go first."
Seeing Nami's bustling appearance, Nojiko shook his head.
He walked to Rosen's captain's room, took out a T-shirt belonging to Rosen from the closet, and put it on before following.
...
"Jango and the others were taken away by me through Hina."
"These people are useless here, it's better to let Hina take them away."
"Don't worry, Nami. Smoker in Loguetown is a good Navy, he won't take our berries."
Inside the gym, in the bathhouse.
Rosen didn't even turn his head as he spoke to Nami.
"Captain Rosen really trusts that Smoker, even though you haven't met him."
Nami pouted, sitting cross-legged beside Rosen, her eyes watching Tashigi, who was sitting cross-legged in the bath, submerged in water under Rosen's guidance.
"Don't worry, Nami, with Tashigi here, Smoker won't refuse to give us the berries."
At this moment, Nojiko, wearing only Rosen's T-shirt, sat down beside Rosen on the other side.
Seeing Tashigi immersed in water practicing the Water Breathing, a hint of nostalgia flashed in Nojiko's eyes.
At first, she also learned the Water Breathing under Rosen's guidance like Tashigi.
"Captain Rosen, can Tashigi learn the Water Breathing?"
Nojiko asked.
"Yes, Tashigi's body seems quite suitable for Water Breathing."
"If we were to compare, she's actually more suitable for learning Water Breathing than you."
"If she practices according to the usual methods, her progress will be faster than yours."
Rosen nodded slightly, turning to look at Nojiko.
When he saw Nojiko wearing his pure white shirt, revealing a pair of snow-white thighs outside, a hint of amazement flashed in Rosen's eyes.
