After the last battle, the relationship between Noah and Shanks became very harmonious in a strange way.

"How would I know why?"

When Roger asked the reason, Noah answered with a confused look on his face.

"I think I get along well with many of my opponents. As for why, I don't know."

Noah spread his hands to show that he was innocent.

"So, why are we going to the East China Sea?"Noah asked Rayleigh

"Aren't you going to Sky Island? If you are going to Sky Island, why not go to the East China Sea first? Roger just wants to go back to his hometown."

Rayleigh stood up from behind the bar and tightened the wine flask in his hand while answering.

Noah saw this and silently handed over his wine flask.

Looking at this gold-inlaid wine flask that was more than one size larger than his own, Rayleigh looked helpless.

"This is a bit too big, Roger will find it."

It's okay, we will arrive in the East China Sea the day after tomorrow, and we will refill it by then. Captain Roger won't find it."

At this moment, the two of them were in the wine cellar at the bottom of the cabin, stealing Roger's good wine together.

Looking at the wine jug that was slowly filling up, Noah couldn't help swallowing.

It must be said that the fine wine from Roger's hometown in the East China Sea really suits Noah's taste.

"ah——"

Noah took a small sip, breathed a sigh of satisfaction, carefully tightened the bottle cap, and put away the wine jug.

"Besides, can't we row every day and drink some wine? Why do we have to go from the Calm Belt?"As they were sneaking out of the wine cellar, Noah turned back and complained quietly.

He never thought that what Roger meant by returning to the East China Sea was actually a form of crossing the Calm Belt from the New World.

Moreover, as a traditional three-masted sailing ship, the King Jackson had no power other than wind power.

This led to the fact that for more than a month, the King Jackson's voyage had been supported by everyone rowing.

"Well, isn't this faster? We can row out of the doldrums tomorrow, so don't worry about these little things."

Rayleigh said with a low voice and a smile. Recently, the main labor force for rowing is still young men like Noah Shanks. Needless to say, Shanks, who has just obtained the qualification of swordsman, seems to have endless strength with a high-sounding title. However, guys like Noah Baki complain every day.

"Tsk, shouldn't a super-strong man like Barrett be responsible for this kind of thing? If not, we can consider Cat Viper and Inuarashi."

Noah and Rayleigh sneaked from the deck to the observation deck one after the other.

Since the battle ended that day, when Kozuki Oden was packing his luggage, he unexpectedly found the cat and dog retainers who followed him quietly among the luggage.

So, these two guys naturally became new members of Roger's pirate group.

"You should be a little nicer to them."

Rayleigh had no choice but to sit down against the mast.

"No, Inuarashi never takes a bath."

Noah stood on the edge of the observation deck with a blank expression, watching the faintly floating sea kings in the distance.

"I can't pretend I didn't hear you, Lord Nuoden."

In the shadows behind him, Inuarashi, who was on night watch tonight, appeared silently.

"Hahaha, the brat was heard saying bad things about others behind their backs."

Rayleigh laughed out loud, he was very happy to see this kind of plot.

"But I have never seen you take a bath. Logically, shouldn't Cat Viper not like to take a bath? You two are the opposite."

Noah didn't feel embarrassed at all, but complained to Inuarashi

"No...it's a long story...but there is absolutely no bad smell on my body."

Inuarashi clarified righteously. This matter concerns reputation and must be taken seriously.

"Okay, okay, don't worry about this kind of thing. What about Cat Viper?"

Noah changed the subject. It stands to reason that cats and dogs are inseparable, so there is no reason to leave Inuarashi alone to keep watch at night.

"Master Momonosuke couldn't sleep, so Nekomaru went down to comfort him.

Inuarashi briefly told Nekomaru where he was.

"I guess he won't be able to come back. Momonosuke is making a fuss... Tsk tsk."

Noah was still in shock. When Momonosuke was just born, he also worked as a nanny.

The past is unbearable to look back on.

"Fortunately, Master Momonosuke is safe tonight."

As the smoke-filled words came, Cat Viper's huge body slowly climbed up to the observation deck. When Cat Viper sat down, Noah also sat down, raised his head and leaned on Cat Viper's soft fur.

"To be honest, it's really comfortable to lean on Cat Viper."

After taking a sip of wine, Noah closed his eyes and enjoyed the moment.

"Lord Nuo Dian... could you please not spill the wine on my fur?"

After a moment of silence, Cat Viper uttered this sentence:

"Ha ha ha ha——"

Everyone laughed, and the atmosphere on the observation deck was filled with joy.

"In comparison, Hiyori should be more obedient."

"Yes, Hiyori-sama slept well."

Yes, that's good. As for Momonosuke, that kid, there's no need to worry too much."

"When I teach him in the future, I will let him know the value of sleep."

Noah waved his hand carelessly, and his words determined Momonosuke's fate.

"Well - you should be a little nicer to Master Momonosuke."

Inuarashi sneered, trying to dispel Noah's dangerous thoughts.

In the tradition of Wano Country, the master-disciple relationship is a very important relationship.

The master has the same responsibilities and obligations to the apprentice as a father.

So when Kozuki Oden knew that Noah's Iron-Slashing Realm was taught by Rayleigh, his act of apologizing in front of Whitebeard was completely sincere.

In contrast, the meaning of the apprentice to the master is also unique. Just like Kozuki Oden is Noah's master, Noah, as a direct disciple, has the same inheritance status as Momonosuke in Kozuki Oden's status and property.

Similarly, as the master of Momonosuke appointed by Kozuki Oden himself, Noah has a considerable say in the daily life of Momonosuke.

"A man must endure hardships to become a man. Look at what Momonosuke has become because of you guys."

Noah complained about Inuarashi and slapped Cat Viper's thigh.

"Lord Nuodian, please be gentler."

The big face of Cat Viper twitched, and he made an almost humble request.

"When Momonosuke is eight years old, I will take him out of Wano Country and not let him stay with you guys anymore."

Noah declared dissatisfiedly.

"Before that, please wait a moment."

Rayleigh, who had been watching with a smile all night, suddenly spoke. When several people looked at him, Rayleigh spoke slowly.

"You two are on guard tonight, so who's rowing?"

"There is no one here. Doesn’t the ship always stay on the sea at night?"

"So why is the ship moving now?"

Noah jumped up and jumped to the top of the mast.

The sails had been lowered for more than a month, and now they were setting sail with full sail.

"East China Sea, here we are"
