When Qin Ming finally managed to bring the weak Luffy and the half-dead fatty back to land, he was so tired that he was panting like a cow, and his lips were white.
It was obvious that Qin Ming was exhausted after rescuing Luffy and Fatty.
There was no other way. When Luffy sank to the bottom of the sea, he was still more than 100 meters away from the ground. This distance was not a big problem for Qin Ming. He could swim back and forth a few times.
However, because Luffy was soaked in the sea, he couldn't exert any strength. Therefore, Qin Ming was carrying a person on his back. With the resistance of the water, one could imagine the burden on him.
The most important thing was that one Luffy was enough to make Qin Ming struggle. When he brought Luffy to the land, he inadvertently looked back and saw that Fatty, who was originally floating on the surface of the sea, had also sunk to the bottom of the sea.
This fatty could be said to be the first friend Qin Ming made after coming to the world of One Piece. In addition, Fatty's family saved his life. Now that Fatty was in danger, how could he stand by and watch him die?
Thus, Qin Ming gritted his teeth and swam back with Luffy, saving Fatty.
Just like that, Qin Ming grabbed Fatty with one hand and Luffy with the other. He used all his strength and swam towards the shore.
If it wasn't for Qin Ming's fishing in the past half a year, his arm strength was much stronger than before, and his body was also a little stronger. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to forcefully pull Luffy and Fatty back to land at the same time in the sea.
However, this also exhausted Qin Ming. After he saved Luffy and Fatty, his consciousness gradually fell into unconsciousness.
This was very normal. Qin Ming was an ordinary person. To be able to save two drowning people at the same time with one breath could already be said to have exceeded his own limits. It was only natural that he would fall into a state of exhaustion and coma.
When Qin Ming regained consciousness, it was already night time. He could still hear the noise outside.
Looking around, Qin Ming knew that he had been carried back to his house. Another group of people who went out to fish must have found them unconscious on the beach and rescued them.
"Alright, let's start the banquet!"
Qin Ming had just sat up on the bed and shook his head a few times when he heard a very loud and energetic voice.
Immediately after, a person wearing a red sleeveless vest and a straw hat with a bright smile barged into Qin Ming's room: "You're awake. Come on, it's time for the banquet. The main dish is the sea king we caught this morning. Its meat is delicious.”
F * ck, you almost drowned this morning, but now you're acting like nothing's wrong. You're even shouting about having a banquet. You're so full of energy.
Qin Ming speechlessly looked at Luffy, who was in high spirits. Compared to this glutton, he seemed a little dispirited.
Every time he moved his body, his entire body would ache. Qin Ming knew that this was because his muscles were sore from overexertion.
Qin Ming wanted to lie on the bed for a while longer, but he was forcefully dragged to the banquet by Luffy.
"We're going out to sea tomorrow. We have to enjoy ourselves today. The meat at this banquet is really amazing.”
Luffy said to Qin Ming as he stuffed a piece of meat thicker than his thigh into his mouth.
Qin Ming, who was being dragged away by Luffy, wanted to clarify the matter of not going out to sea with him. Who knew that at this time, Fatty would run over and kneel on the ground, hugging Qin Ming's leg and crying bitterly,"That's great. You're really still alive. At that time, you looked like a dead man. I thought I had to attend your funeral.”
"Get lost!"
Qin Ming said to Fatty impolitely. He saw that the village was filled with joy. The bonfires criss-crossed and the villagers were all smiling. There were even many people surrounding the bonfire and dancing. Everyone looked very happy.
However, this fatty actually put on a crying expression, causing Qin Ming's slightly better mood to immediately disappear. Looking at the fatty's extremely miserable expression, it was really too unpleasant.
When the villagers saw Qin Ming, they all smiled and greeted him. There were also a few young and beautiful girls who came to invite Qin Ming to dance with them, but he rejected them.
It wasn't that Qin Ming was being pretentious, but his head was still dizzy. He was worried that he would accidentally fall into the fire while jumping. That would be a tragedy.
However, there was one person who was jumping very happily, and that was Luffy.
This guy was dancing with a group of girls. As he danced, he couldn't get enough of it. Then, he started belly dancing with those girls, causing the people around him to laugh and have fun.
After Luffy drew a human face on his belly, he used the characteristics of his rubber body to make his belly round. He even stuck two chopsticks into his nose, making him look extremely funny. He even hummed an unknown pirate song, making the villagers laugh.
It had to be said that with Luffy around, this banquet was much livelier than before.
In the past, Qin Ming had also participated in the banquets held by the village. Although it was quite lively, it had never been like this. Almost all the village names participated enthusiastically, and even he was affected.
Qin Ming watched Luffy's performance while eating, and asked Fatty,""Don't you know how to swim? How did you drown?”
As a fisherman, Fatty naturally knew how to swim. It was just that when he saw Fatty's situation was critical, Qin Ming didn't have time to think too much and saved him first.
It was also Qin Ming's first time eating the meat of a sea king. He felt that the meat was very delicious and made people want to eat it again.
But soon, Qin Ming lost his appetite to eat this delicious sea king meat.
Because Fatty said that the reason why he drowned at that time was that after he vomited, his head was dizzy and he accidentally inhaled a few mouthfuls of seawater. He found that the seawater he inhaled contained the vomit he had vomited on the sea before, so he vomited on the spot.
After vomiting, he opened his mouth and breathed heavily. Coincidentally, a small wave hit him and sent what he had just vomited back into his mouth. Thus, he vomited again.
When he vomited, his reaction was too intense. He accidentally had a cramp in his leg, and then he drowned.
Fatty didn't know that his words had completely made Qin Ming lose his appetite. He continued to talk about his tragic experience, almost making Qin Ming vomit in his face. In the end, Qin Ming couldn't take it anymore and directly punched this fatty unconscious.
F * ck him, this is really intolerable!
Qin Ming looked at the fatty who was knocked unconscious by him and felt his entire body relax. He no longer felt the discomfort from before.
"Are you a demon fruit aptitude user?”
When the village chief saw Luffy reaching out his arm to grab the meat on the plate not far away, he could not help but ask. This caused the villagers to cry out in surprise.
"Yeah, I ate a rubber fruit and became a rubber man.”
Luffy held the meat with both hands and kept stuffing it into his mouth. He even extended his arm to snatch the meat from Qin Ming's hand.
Originally, Qin Ming adjusted his state of mind and wanted to taste the delicious sea king meat. Unexpectedly, the meat in his hand disappeared as soon as he opened his mouth.
Your sister, you better restrain yourself. You've eaten at least two-thirds of the meat of such a huge sea king!
Qin Ming picked up another piece of meat unhappily, but before he could eat it, it flew into Luffy's mouth.
Qin Ming had no choice but to pick the food that Luffy was most uninterested in, which was vegetables and stuff to fill his stomach.
"Speaking of which, our village also has a Demon Fruit.”
The old village chief looked at Qin Ming and turned to Luffy, who was eating his meat, and said,""You want to invite him out to sea, right?"
"Yeah, he's a very reliable person. I'm not wrong. We get along very well.”
Luffy swallowed the meat in his mouth, and his neck was stretched out.
"Your name is Monchi D-Luffy?"
The village chief stroked his long white beard. He was slightly hunched, and the wrinkles on his face were so wrinkled that they could squeeze a fly to death. However, when he looked at Luffy, his eyes revealed a hint of terrifying light.
"What's wrong with my name?"
Luffy didn't notice the change in the way the village chief looked at him. He asked,""By the way, what's his name?"
Without waiting for the village chief to answer, Luffy extended his arm, grabbed a pole, and jumped in front of Qin Ming.
Qin Ming, who was eating, was shocked by Luffy's sudden appearance. He spat some vegetable powder on Luffy's face.
"What's your name?"
Luffy shook his head. When he shook his head, some of the vegetable dregs stuck to his face flew onto the meat in his hand. He took a bite and said with bright eyes,"After adding these things, the meat seems to have become even more delicious.”
Hearing Luffy's words, Qin Ming's stomach began to churn again. He resisted the urge to vomit all over Luffy and told him his name.
"Qin Ming?"
Luffy pondered for a moment and said,""Your name is really strange."
F * ck, your names are weird. All of you are stinky and long!
Qin Ming muttered in his heart. Just as he wanted to talk to Luffy about something, he heard the seemingly old village chief say,"Qin Ming, come with me. I have something to tell you.”
Looking at the village chief's stooped back, Qin Ming was puzzled. He didn't know why the village chief was looking for him.
After following the village chief to a quiet and remote place, the village chief said to Qin Ming,"More than a year ago, someone deposited a Demon Fruit in our village. That person said that if he met a suitable person, he would give this Demon Fruit away.”
The village chief's words made Qin Ming's heart tremble. Could it be that the Devil Fruit was given to the village by the Nether King Lei Li who had saved Fatty a year ago?
Or did Lei Li come to the East Sea a year ago to deal with the Devil Fruit?
For a moment, Qin Ming's mind was filled with a myriad of thoughts. When he came back to his senses, he heard the village chief say,"If you really want to go out to sea with that person, I can give you the Demon Fruit.”
Village Chief looked at Qin Ming with a burning gaze and continued,""I can see that deep down in your heart, you are very eager to go out to sea for adventure.”
At this point, the village chief's small eyes became brighter and brighter, and his tone actually carried a trace of heroism."This world is very big. As a man, it's normal for you to yearn for the vast and mysterious sea. Besides, you don't belong here. If you go out to sea, you might really be able to find what you want. Whether or not you want to go out to sea with that person is your freedom. I won't force you.”
"Then, what is your answer?”
Village Chief revealed a smile as he looked at Qin Ming. It seemed like he already knew what Qin Ming would choose.
