He wasn't the type to get close to others, and the only reason he was actively concerned for Kato Megumi was because she had spoken up for him earlier.
Plus, Kato Megumi had a gentle personality and was always friendly to others, unlike others who kept their distance from him.
So Gu Cheng was actually quite fond of her.
Of course.
This fondness was still limited to the level of friendship.
After talking to Gu Cheng, Kato Megumi, as if nothing had happened, turned her head and continued to listen attentively to the lesson.
Seeing this, Gu Cheng didn't bother her further and turned his gaze to the sky outside the window.
At this moment.
In the originally clear sky, dark clouds had appeared at some point, blocking the sunlight completely.
A gust of cold wind blew in from the window, making Gu Cheng frown involuntarily.
"Is it going to rain?"
Gu Cheng muttered to himself.
At this moment.
A clear and pleasant prompt sounded in Gu Cheng's mind.
“Ding!”
Hearing this sound, Gu Cheng couldn't help but be stunned, a look of astonishment flashed across his face.
"The chat group notification?"
Gu Cheng's heart moved, and he subconsciously opened the chat group in his mind.
【Ding! Group member “Yaegashi Ayaka” has uploaded an image.】
【Ding! Group member "Nami" has uploaded an image.】
"Image?"
Seeing these two messages, Gu Cheng was slightly taken aback, then immediately clicked on the chat group.
Two images with different styles appeared in front of his eyes.
The first image was of a girl in a white kendo uniform.
The girl had long, flowing hair that reached her waist, delicate features, fair skin that was smooth and delicate like milk, and a pair of clear eyes like obsidian that revealed a hint of dashing spirit.
At this moment, the girl was holding a wooden sword, posing in a standard kendo starting position, looking dashing and spirited.
If Gu Cheng remembered correctly.
The uploader of this image should be Yaegashi Ayaka.
As for the second image, the style suddenly changed.
It was a girl with a hot figure, wearing a cool bikini, lying on a beach chair, enjoying the sun.
The girl had long, wavy orange hair, delicate features, fair skin, a curvaceous figure, and a pair of watery eyes that revealed a hint of mischievousness.
There was no doubt.
This girl was "Cat Burglar" Nami.
Two images with different styles, created by two girls with completely different personalities.
But.
Gu Cheng didn't forget his purpose of opening the chat group.
He scrolled down the chat group page.
【Yaegashi Ayaka】：@All members, good afternoon, the weather is great today, I just practiced kendo for an hour at the dojo, I feel full of energy. (Picture)
【Nami】：Good afternoon, Ayaka-chan~, you are as handsome as always in the photo! (Starry eyes.jpg)
【Nami】：Unlike me, since that bastard Arlong was taken care of by Esdeath-sama, my life has been too comfortable, I eat and sleep all day, I’m almost turning into a pig! (Salty fish瘫.jpg)
"Arlong was taken care of by Esdeath?"
Seeing this message, Gu Cheng's eyebrows raised slightly, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.
He naturally knew about Arlong.
He was a small boss in the East Blue arc, and while he wasn't top-tier, he was still a ruthless character with a bounty of 20 million berries.
But for Esdeath, who was often compared to Akainu by netizens and whose upper limit in terms of combat strength was at the level of exploding a country?
Dealing with a mere Arlong was naturally a piece of cake.
Therefore, after seeing this message, Gu Cheng was only slightly surprised that Esdeath had gone to that world, and didn't pay too much attention.
He continued scrolling down the chat record.
【Esdeath】：@Nami, since you are so free, why don't you come to my world, I recently discovered a good hunting ground, there are many powerful dangerous species, just right for you to stretch your limbs.
【Nami】：Ah, this... forget it, Esdeath-sama, I don't want to go to my death! (Fear.jpg)
【Nami】：Those dangerous species sound like they are not easy to deal with, I'd rather stay at home, eat some fruit, sunbathe, and keep Belmer company."
【Esdeath】：“Alright, you do you.”
……
"Belmer is still alive??"
Seeing this message, Gu Cheng couldn't help but be stunned, a look of astonishment flashed in his eyes.
After all, he remembered very clearly.
In the original plot, Belmer had died when Nami was 10 years old, when the village was attacked by Arlong's gang, sacrificing herself to protect Nami.
But now.
Nami actually said that she was going to stay at home with Belmer?
So that means...
Belmer is still alive.
But since Belmer, who sacrificed herself to protect 10-year-old Nami, is still alive.
Then how old is the current Nami in the group chat?
Could it be that she is only around 10 years old?
Thinking of this, Gu Cheng's heart suddenly filled with an indescribable sense of strangeness.
He subconsciously looked at the photo that Nami had posted earlier.
The Nami in the photo had a hot figure, curvaceous, fair skin that was as white as snow, and long, wavy orange hair that shimmered under the sunlight, making her look especially dazzling and attractive.
No matter how you look at it, she didn't look like she was only 10 years old.
"This... 10 years old?!"
Gu Cheng couldn't help but secretly rant to himself in his heart.
