ONE PIECE : ENDLESS ADVENTURE

Chapter 11: A father's love

Days went on, the Red Hair Pirates continued their sailing, holding banquet endlessly. Nami had complained to Shanks for several times but he always ignored her. Even Beckman told Nami to give up and enjoyed their banquet. 

Whitebeard? Totally support the idea of banquet.

"Someday, you guys will die because of rum and beer!" 

Nami yelled at Shanks who was sitting far away, drinking his bottle of rum. Shanks looked at Nami and laughed. 

"You better concentrate on your training, Nami." 

As expected, Nami got her head hit. She took off the bandage covered on her eyes, turned back and glared at Whitebeard.

"Can't you be more gentle?! It hurts!" 

Whitebeard glanced at Nami and crossed his arms. His bandages mostly have removed, just left some around his arms.

"Of course it hurts. Therefore you need to avoid the stick. This is what we are practicing, avoid people's attack" 

Nami rubbed her head lightly. "Be more gentle to girl, old man." 

"Do you think your enemy will be gentle to you? Just because you are woman?"

Whitebeard looked at Nami seriously and asked. Nami shut her mouth up immediately to his question, knew the answer very well. Whitebeard saw Nami's reaction and nodded. He covered her eyes again and held his stick.

"Are you ready?" 

Nami nodded and continued her training. Whitebeard knew Nami could be a fighter but she was more familiar on defense than attack. Therefore the following 2 hours, Whitebeard continued on training Nami's Kenbunshoku. When the training was over, Nami could barely move. She felt her bones were almost crushed. 

"Are you alright?" Shanks gave Nami a concern look. Nami waved her hands.

"Leave me alone right now. I...need some time to recover."

"This is just the beginning. There are more to do." Whitebeard sniffed, not happy with Nami's performance. His sons all did better than her, that was no doubt of it.

"Anyway, do your best, Nami." Shanks drank his rum and grinned. Nami sighed mournfully.

"Shanks! Where are you?!"

Suddenly, Yasopp rushed out from the cabin and yelled loudly. 

"What is it?" Shanks asked. Yasopp rushed to them.

"Ace-"

"What? What happen?" Shanks looked at him seriously. Whitebeard frowned and walked to Yasopp, stood in front him. Nami looked at Whitebeard's reaction, felt a bit nervous.

"What happen to Ace?" 

Yasopp didn't seem he was afraid of Whitebeard. He took a deep breath and slowly released a big grin.

"He is awake!"

Nami spent some time to understand what Yasopp said. Soon she widened her eyes and grinned excitedly.

"You are not joking, right? Ace he is awake?!"

Yasopp nodded happily. Whitebeard widened his eyes and went to the cabin immediately. Shanks watched Whitebeard's reaction and smiled. He grabbed Nami's hand and put it on his shoulder. 

When they entered the room, they saw no sign of Whitebeard, just a group of people around Ace. Ace was looking at the ceiling, literally. Just looking. He didn't answer the doctor's question or show any expression.
