Chapter 78 Joyboy

After that.

King Cobra seemed to relax a lot, and Mok's arm was on his shoulder, and they came back together.

If King Cobra was not short, he would have wanted to put his arm around Mok's shoulder and said he would treat him next time.

Princess Vivi, who was standing at the door with her hands folded, turned pale, and grabbed her father's ear, ready to find a place where no one was around to have a good talk.

Of course, it was actually nothing.

Honglang is a formal place, and there is nothing else inside.

At the beginning, Xia Che would go there to relax from time to time, but now he doesn't need to.

There are more enjoyable things, and it's no longer so troublesome.

Speaking of which, he is also planning to open a branch of Honglang in the rainy land of the Kingdom of Alabasta!

I believe that with the exotic style of the Kingdom of Alabasta... the charming dancers' costumes, it will definitely be very popular.

He still remembered that after the Alabasta incident, Robin, Nami, Kuina and Vivi wore Alabasta dancer costumes to experience the exotic customs of Alabasta. It was a feast for the eyes!

The year-end banquet is still going on.

This is held at the end of every year. At the beginning, there were not so many people in the Konomi Islands. In order to encourage everyone and let everyone relax, he held a year-end party according to the custom of the banquet and the end of the year.

Everyone gathered together, ate and drank, and talked about the achievements made this year and the goals to be achieved next year to welcome the new year and give everyone a boost.

But as more and more people came to the 16 branches and the Konomi Islands, the year-end banquet was passed down every year, and it became bigger and bigger, forming a carnival for the whole island to welcome the new year.

Those who have just joined and those who have joined for a long time will gather together, and everyone will have a lively banquet together, which has become a special festival for the 16 branches and the Konomi Islands.

Of course, this promoted the integration of newcomers and deepened everyone's communication!

Therefore, although Vegapunk could not come out for various reasons, Xia Che still specially prepared a banquet for him and asked him to participate.

Even Valpo and Enel who followed Vegapunk also prepared it.

The three of them attended the banquet remotely through the surveillance on the Konomi Islands.

Now the sea is still looking for Vegapunk, so Vegapunk with such a conspicuous head can't run around at will.

And Vegapunk also knows his situation. He was not a researcher of the World Government. At the beginning, he joined the illegal scientific research team MADS funded by Du Feld and served as the leader.

It's just that the team was too arrogant and found that the [bloodline factor] was spread everywhere, so they were incorporated by the World Government.

After experiencing that time, Vegapunk also knew... He should do research quietly!

If he is found by the World Government again this time, it is estimated that he will lose his life, not to mention his freedom.

But.

When Shache left, Vegapunk touched his big head, as if he was thinking, as if he wanted to cut off everything.

During this period of time, Vegapunk has gradually gotten used to the life here and started to invest in new research. As for Valpo and Enel...

Shache ignored Valpo and just left him to Vegapunk.

As for Enel, to be honest... the Thunder Fruit is still quite tempting, but this guy has just been here for a short time and is still the same...

Unruly!

Thinking that Vegapunk is short of energy now, let him stay with Vegapunk first and see what happens.

Whether to beat him or do something else, we will talk about it when Vegapunk is no longer needed!

At the end of this year.

There are also many more people in the 16th branch.

Kuina, Big Bear and Bonnie have all joined, and Vivi and King Cobra have also stayed on purpose, spending a wonderful year-end.

As for the Kingdom of Alabasta...

With Mok's pirate flag there, and Baroque Works and the King's Army, nothing serious happened.

Although there were indeed many blind guys who came to make trouble at the beginning, after sending Big Bear, Mok and Clo to deal with them several times, these blind guys became fewer and fewer.

The development of Rainland is also very good. As a big country on the Grand Line, there are many tourists, merchants and pirates coming and going, which promotes the development of the Rainland economy.

The sales of orange wine and Jonelle cosmetics are also considerable.

That's right, the cosmetics formula given by Chopper has been put into production!

Once sold, it was very popular.

Especially under the promotion of a young and beautiful princess, it sold out directly in Alabasta.

A certain royal family does not pass on secret recipes!

The ladies passing by, whether they are merchants or pirates, will deliberately take a set away. It is even said that because it is too popular, some people who can't buy it can only delay their voyage and send people to queue up overnight, which greatly promotes the development of the local economy of Rainland.

Of course, in this era, bustle also means chaos, so it took a lot of effort to maintain order.

When reporting, Princess Vivi was still proud. Seeing that her daughter had grown up so well, King Cobra was also very pleased.

This time he just came to see how the territory of the savior of the Kingdom of Alabasta was. The result can be said to be very unexpected. Even if he went to govern a kingdom, he believed that there would be no problem.

As the banquet progressed, Xia Che and others also had a special gathering afterwards.

Nami, who has become best friends with Princess Weiwei, is also talking quietly, but from time to time, Nami will look at Weiwei with her hands on her hips and ask her why she asks so many questions.

Robin was still elegantly sipping tea and reading a book.

Mok hooked up with King Kobra again, and they agreed to go to Hong Kong later for some romance and relaxation. Weiwei was so angry that she stood up and directly pulled King Kobra away who was drunk.

Crowe and Udo were also drinking, and they were chatting about some plans for the training camp.

Big Bear's words... While drinking wine quietly, he smiled and looked at Bonnie who was happily walking around everyone, smiling cheerfully.

Seeing hope, he had more smiles on his face during this time.

During this period, Bonnie, who was tired from playing, was sent back to Vegapunk.

Bonnie still needs to continue treatment, but now there is no problem, and recovery is only a matter of time.

As for the outsourcer, Daz Bonis, who was unsmiling and unsmiling, he also drank in silence alone.

soon.

The end of the year, which was busier than in previous years, ended like this, and even the originally cheerful Conomi Islands became quiet.

Next…

The 16th Navy Branch will usher in a new year and new developments!

After he and Robin sent the drunk Nami, Weiwei and Kuina back to the room, Xia Che walked over to see Daxiong who was still drinking quietly and said, "We have arranged for people to take care of it, don't worry about it. here."

"It's okay. I want to drink for a while longer. Really, BOSS! Please let me clean up later and let me stay a little longer." The big bear wearing rimless glasses raised his head and looked at Xia Che, revealing his That unique hearty and gentle smile, "Thank you, BOSS, Bonnie and I are very happy, really very happy!"

As he spoke, in front of Xia Che, the eyes of this nearly seven-meter strong man became wet.

"Actually, I have accepted that maybe Sapphire Scale is really an incurable disease! It's just that I still refuse to give up, but now... Bonnie can be cured, really can be cured!"

The big bear raised his head and looked at the starry night sky, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, "I don't know if Ginny has seen it, but I have kept my promise to you! Ginny!"

Bonnie is his cutest daughter!

"I've always wanted to say thank you to BOSS in person! Thank you very much!"

The words fell.

"...It's okay!" Looking at the seven-meter strong man with tears in his eyes and a look of sincere gratitude to him, to be honest, Xia Che was a little uncomfortable, but he still patted the big bear on the back, thought for a moment, and said , "Just work hard!"

"Don't worry, I will definitely work hard. Even if I sacrifice myself, I won't regret it so much!"

"There's no need to be so exaggerated!"

"Thank you very much, BOSS!" Big Bear raised his head and looked at the twinkling stars in the night sky again, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and suddenly said, "BOSS, you know so much, do you think Joyboy really exists?"

"It should exist!"

"Does it really exist? Although Dad keeps saying it exists, I know that he is actually doubting whether it really exists, even me! But now, BOSS." Big Bear had a smile on his face, but wiped away tears. , "You are the Joey Boy of me and Bonnie!"

"???"

Bad, he became Joey Boy?

Hearing Da Xiong's words, Xia Che shivered all over, but seeing Da Xiong's warm smile but firm eyes, he didn't say anything more. He stood up and patted the sitting Da Xiong on the shoulder, "Then Just work hard, and next time...as the King of the Shichibukai, you will be very busy!"

"I'm extremely happy! BOSS~"

"I'm going to rest first. You should go to bed early too!"

Xia Che waved his hand, ignored Daxiong who didn't know how long he would stay there, and walked directly towards his house.

Big Bear also looked at the BOSS's back, and then continued to look at the stars quietly until he disappeared from his eyes.

He hasn't been so calm for a long time!

other side.

Xia Che, who was yawning, was turning the corner.

"Dear BOSS~" Robin, who was here at some time, also leaned in the corner, looking at Xia Che with an elegant smile on his face, winking playfully, and said, "You are also my Joeyboy! "

"..."

This shady woman must have eavesdropped everything here.

Before Xia Che, who had a black look on his face, could say anything.

I saw.

Miss Robin blinked again, gently lifted her hair from her ears, and said with an elegant and intellectual smile, "Dear BOSS, you must be tired today too!"

"?!"
