One Piece: My Infinity Gauntlet!
Chapter 82 - 82 - Family

A few days later, on a small island near the Island of Abundance, Will was enjoying the corrupted life he had always dreamed of.

Since he was seriously injured in the previous battle with the Kizaru, he enjoyed the care of Nami and the others after he drifted to this island with great difficulty.

But it was not without unexpected gains, since after he became conscious after the battle, he unexpectedly awakened his Observation Haki which was regarded as saving him a Logia devil fruit.

Fortunately, Will still had a few pouches of gold coins in the inner space of his infinity gauntlet for emergency purposes, otherwise, Nami might have gone back to her old job.

In spite of this, Nami, who had lost her ship and treasure, lost her smile in the past few days and became more and more depressed...

"Girl, give me a smile~"

"Oh...."

Will, whose body was covered with bandages, said helplessly as he lowered his head and ate the turkey meat and vegetable porridge that was prepared by Snow and was fed by Nami herself.

"I told you it's safest to leave it with me, but you wouldn't listen."

The one who responded to him was Nami's big hygienic eyes.

To be honest, she also regretted it a little bit now, if she had put all the treasures in the space where Will could carry them, this kind of problem certainly wouldn't have occurred.

Of course, it is not absolute. Since if Will is killed someday, it will be the same.

But for now, it seems to be safer to put them there.

"Hurry up and get well, then give me an IOU of 300 million Beli, do you hear me?"

Will almost spewed out the porridge in his mouth!

"Why am I paying? I'm a victim, too!

"Who was responsible for that last big bang?"

"..." 

Will was helpless, with such a little money-loving wife, what else could he say?

"You guys are really close~"

Then Robin walked in with a joking face and said.

"It's not good!" X2

Nami and Will whose faces flashed red said in unison and then each stared at each other.

Robin smiled even more ambiguously, but now was not the time to discuss such things.

"I think the captain should take a look at this."

As she said that, Robin used her ability to grow two hands on the still immobilized Will, and then helped him hold up the latest arrival of the newspaper.

At first glance, Will saw what Robin wanted him to see.

Then he immediately said with disdain, "The Navy is always like this, demonizing the enemy and glorifying themselves!"

"After that last move of mine, I don't believe nothing happened to Kizaru!"

Will was very confident that if Kizaru was not seriously injured, he would not immediately turn into light and flee, but would wait there to bring Will back to the naval headquarters.

This, coupled with the Navy's all-too-familiar practice of covering up the truth, made him even more certain that Kizaru's injuries were definitely not minor!

As for the 350 million bounties, well, it's not much.

If the Navy dared to reveal the injuries of Kizaru, his head worth would be much more than that!

After Will finished complaining, Robin and the others were a bit out of it, it was really hard to imagine that their captain was actually someone who could fight Kizaru to a draw.

That was one of the three great admirals of the navy who represented the 'highest battle power' of the navy!

Kizaru with the glint fruit is the most difficult to get injured among the three admirals. Even if he wants to retreat without a fight, there is no problem, but in the hands of their captain, he can't even escape without taking serious injury!

In the end, if it wasn't for saving them, Kizaru might really have fallen here!

That's the big news that will shock the whole world!

At this thought, both Robin, who wanted to seek asylum and history text, and Snow, who had one of the Four Emperors as her enemies, grew feelings called 'trust' towards Will!

They finally believed that their captain wasn't just talking big.

Conquering the world... Maybe it's more than just words!

"Where are Koby and Snow?"

After Nami's 'reluctant' feeding, Will finally finished his meal.

"Koby went to extra practice by himself, said something about wanting to share blah blah blah for his teacher, and looked a little stimulated."

"Snow went to buy ingredients after cooking and said she'll be back later."

Will nodded, it seemed that it wasn't for no reason that Koby could become a strong navy in the future, at least in the deepest part of his heart he still longed to become stronger.

To be able to stand in front of Akainu's attack and shout out loudly what was in his heart was not something that ordinary people could do, and it was no wonder that the redhead saved his life.

Many people may have hated Koby because of his cowardice and weakness, and even the original Will was equally unhappy with the character and wondered why Oda gave him so many scenes.

But maybe Oda just wanted to show everyone that even a cowardly person can have real courage.

Just like parents who are timid and fearful but can stand up and fight the gangsters for the safety of their children. Maybe they will die because of this, but they can leave the hope of life to their children.

Will was suddenly looking forward to the day when Koby completed his transformation.

"By the way, isn't it almost New Year's Eve?"

"New Year's Eve? It's already December, and in less than a month's time it will be the year 1519 in the sea circle calendar."

Will didn't remember if there was a New Year in the pirate world, but he assumed there wasn't, or else he couldn't have any memory of it.

So he smiled and opened his mouth, "In my hometown, every time the old year and the new year alternated, the family would get together..."

"We would eat reunion dinners together, make dumplings together, watch 'shows' together, drink together, play mahjong together..."

Will explained as much as he could to Nami and Robin, and this kind of heavenly happiness made them show their yearning, but what followed was a lonely silence.

Nami and Robin were the kinds of people who had been through all the hardships and seen the darkness and pain of the world since they were young, and this kind of family bonding was the one thing they lacked and desired the most.

"So, it's a good time for us to celebrate New Year's together while I'm recovering."

"In this world, we all lack family members. It seems that the only ones who can comfort each other are each other..."

Will was slightly distracted, although his experience in the pirate world was colourful, a place he used to dream about, but some things really only want to be cherished when they are lost.

But if he was given another chance to choose, maybe he would still have bought this Infinity Gauntlet and came here!

But maybe before he came here, he would go home and have a reunion dinner with his parents and say sorry to them as a son.

After a complicated silence, Nami and Robin nodded their heads at some point.

Family...

What a distant and unfamiliar phrase...

But... It's pretty good!
