Chapter 307: Expected Luffy
The sun shines unreservedly on the port of the Chabaody Archipelago, and the golden light seems to cover the entire port with a layer of dazzling veil.
The warm sea breeze is like a gentle palm, gently blowing through every corner, bringing the unique salty and humid smell of the sea, and also ruffling people's hair and clothes.
Ling Tian stood there quietly like a statue, his posture upright and firm.
His gaze seemed to be real, staring straight at the distant end of the sea level, as if he wanted to penetrate the endless blue and search for traces of the arrival of the revolutionary army.
His eyes revealed concentration and persistence. All the noise around him seemed to have nothing to do with him. His mind was completely immersed in the upcoming meeting.
Beside him, Whitebeard's tall body stood like a towering mountain, giving people a feeling of incomparable solidity.
He was like a generous wine lover, holding the wine jug steadily in his hand, and the wine jug was gleaming in the sunlight.
From time to time he would raise his arm, bring the jug to his mouth, then tilt his head back, and let the wine gurgle into his throat.
With every sip, his eyes would show a bit of leisure and uninhibitedness, as if nothing in the world could disturb his pleasure of drinking and enjoying the scenery.
Roger stood as straight as a javelin, exuding a unique charm. There was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, and that smile seemed to contain countless stories and a vision for the future.
His eyes were deep and bright, flashing with anticipation for the unknown, a curiosity and yearning for new things, for upcoming meetings and the changes that might come.
And Luffy, this young man full of infinite energy, was jumping around excitedly like an energetic little monkey. His eyes were wide open, like two bright stars, full of curiosity.
He looked here and there, full of interest in everything around him. It seemed as if he had endless energy in his body. He kept jumping around on the spot, unable to calm down at all.
"Luffy, can't you just be quiet for a while?" Ling Tian looked at Luffy helplessly and said. There was a hint of fatigue in his voice. After all, at a time like this that required patience and waiting, Luffy's restlessness seemed particularly abrupt.
After hearing Ling Tian's words, Luffy stopped like an obedient child.
He raised his hand and scratched his hair under his signature straw hat, running his fingers back and forth in his messy hair, making it even more messy.
After scratching his head, he looked at Ling Tian with a smile, his eyes sparkling, as if hiding two twinkling little stars, filled with an eager desire to meet Sabo soon.
His hands were not idle either, he kept rubbing them together, as if he wanted to release the excitement through the friction of his palms, and he said, "Lingtian, I want to see Sabo so much, I can't wait."
Whitebeard couldn't help but laugh when he saw Luffy's expression. The hearty laughter was like a loud bell, echoing in the sky above the port, attracting many people's attention.
After laughing, he stretched out his big hand that was like a palm-leaf fan and patted Luffy's shoulder heavily.
The muscles in his arm bulged, and when that big hand landed on Luffy's shoulder, it was like a huge rock pressing down, making a dull "bang" sound.
However, Luffy seemed to be unaware of anything. His body only swayed slightly. He did not feel any discomfort at all. Instead, he grinned even more happily.
Whitebeard looked at Luffy, his eyes showing a bit of doting from an elder towards a younger one, and said, "Kid, jumping around like this won't make the Revolutionary Army arrive faster."
Roger was also amused by Luffy's appearance. His smile was like the warm sunshine in spring, gentle and full of affinity. He crossed his arms in front of his chest, and his clothes were slightly wrinkled where his arms crossed, showing his relaxed state.
He tilted his head slightly, his eyes looking towards the horizon, his gaze seemed to penetrate the scene before him, as if he was picturing the grand scene of the arrival of the Revolutionary Army in his mind. With a faint smile in his voice, he said, "Yes, Luffy, be patient."
Ling Tian looked at them quietly, with a hint of helplessness in his eyes.
He frowned slightly and sighed inwardly. In this seemingly peaceful wait, everyone had their own thoughts and expressions, which made him feel like he was herding a group of naughty lambs, and it was always difficult to get everyone's actions to be completely unified.
There were only four of them at the port now. This port was one of the busiest places in the Sabaody Archipelago, with people coming and going, and it was very lively.
However, to Ling Tian, the hustle and bustle at this moment was more like a distraction. He needed to concentrate on waiting for the arrival of the revolutionary army, but there were only a few people around him.
What about the others? As soon as they arrived at the Sabaody Archipelago, they were attracted by an invisible magic.
As soon as they set foot on this land, their eyes sparkled with excitement, like a group of little thieves who had seen treasure. The lively scene was like a huge whirlpool that instantly sucked them in.
They couldn't wait to run towards the bustling neighborhoods, their steps as light as if they were dancing.
They cheered with uncontrollable joy as they ran towards those tempting places, shouting: "Wow, there must be a lot of rare treasures here, let's go find them!" They looked like a group of hungry people who saw a table full of delicious food and were eager to feast on it.
As for Luffy, the reason he stayed here was entirely because Ling Tian had told him that his brother Sabo was in the Revolutionary Army.
Since he learned the news, Luffy seemed to be injected with endless energy and has been in a state of extreme excitement. There seemed to be two small flames burning in his eyes, always flashing with a fiery light.
The whole person was like a little monkey wound up with a spring, jumping around and unable to keep quiet for a moment.
He was spinning in circles, muttering Sabo's name, and then he ran to the edge of the harbor, craning his neck to look into the distance, as if as long as he looked far enough, he would be able to see Sabo and the revolutionary army appear before him.
His iconic straw hat sat askew on his head as he moved, but it did not affect his high spirits at all.
As for his father's affairs, Ling Tian found that Luffy didn't care at all.
Time passed slowly while waiting, like a trickle of water, flowing slowly. The port was still bustling with people coming and going like a group of busy ants.
There were dock workers carrying goods, with their bare chests and backs soaked with sweat, shouting loudly as they walked towards the cargo ships step by step; there were businessmen in gorgeous clothes, with their eyes rolling around, looking for potential customers in the crowd, holding samples of various goods in their hands, and occasionally pulling a passerby to sell them; there were also some people who looked like tourists, with curiosity and excitement on their faces, stopping in front of each stall to watch, full of novelty about everything on the Chabaobab Archipelago.
