I'm in One Piece, and I'm Luffy's childhood friend.

Forced by their authority, the three had no choice but to obey.

........

Meanwhile, Bai Yun...

"stop!!"

"You thieving woman! Hand over the nautical chart!!!"

"Damn it! If we don't get the nautical chart back right away, our lives are in danger."

"Yeah!! I don't want to die from the captain's cannonballs."

Nami stole Buggy's Grand Line chart, following the trajectory of fate.

They're shaking off their pursuers.

Fate played a cruel trick, replacing the person who fell from the sky with Bai Yun.

"boom!!!"

Bai Yun landed precisely between Nami and Buggy's men.

"Oh dear! My back is killing me."

"Luckily, Luffy's physique was replicated beforehand, otherwise he would have been destroyed if it had hit him."

As the smoke cleared, Bai Yun and Nami met eyes.

Nami's eyes lit up, but Bai Yun spoke first.

"Big sister!"

"I've come to meet you, boss!"

Nami was taken aback. "Who's your boss?! Isn't that my line?!"

Chapter 38 Making Big Money Through Cooperation

Fate doesn't make mistakes, but it can play tricks on people.

The person who fell from the sky became Bai Yun, but Bai Yun is not as innocent as Luffy.

Nami's eyes lit up, just as she was thinking of a great scapegoat to frame, but Bai Yun spoke first.

"Big sister!"

"I've come to meet you, boss!"

After saying that, he snatched the Grand Line chart from Nami's hand.

That hand speed shocked even Nami, the little thief.

It wasn't over yet. After Bai Yun snatched the sea chart, he took off running.

"Big Sister!"

"So it was an organized operation! You thieving woman!!"

Nami watched Bai Yun's retreating figure, and behind her, the menacing voices of Buggy's henchmen echoed.

Looking at the shadow on the ground, Nami swallowed hard and immediately ran away as well.

But the burly man at the head of the group immediately grabbed her by the back of her collar.

"Still trying to escape!!"

"You wretched woman!!"

The angrier she got, the bigger man raised his fist and slammed it down. Nami could only close her eyes in despair.

The fist was about to smash into Nami's face.

Then, "Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Three gunshots rang out, and Nami lost her balance and fell to the ground. When she opened her eyes, she saw three burly men, one clutching his hand and the other two clutching their legs, lying on the ground groaning.

His eyes were filled with confusion, shock, and lingering fear.

"Oh dear, my boss, what a sorry sight!"

"Shall I help you up?"

Bai Yun returned and bent down to extend his palm to Nami.

Nami turned to look at him and scanned his waist and hands, but didn't see a gun.

"Snapped!"

"Need not!"

Once she recovered, Nami slapped Bai Yun's hand away and stood up on her own.

Bai Yun smiled, not minding, and straightened up.

........

"Who are you?!"

"Who's your boss! Give me back my nautical chart!"

Nami reached out to snatch the sea chart from Bai Yun's hand, but Bai Yun dodged, and Nami almost fell.

"You scoundrel..."

Just as Nami was about to start cursing, Bai Yun handed her the sea chart.

"My name is Bai Yun."

"If you want it, I'll give it to you. Why bother taking it? I don't understand it anyway."

Nami was slightly taken aback, then forcefully took the sea chart back.

"At least you know what's good for you."

"......"

"Did you fire those three shots just now?"

"Why didn't I see a gun on you?"

After putting away the sea chart, Nami remembered the gunshot from earlier.

Besides her and three of Bucky's men, only Bai Yun was left. Who else could it be but him?

Bai Yun didn't answer, but stared at the sky. When the target appeared, he raised his hand and fired a shot instantly.

The large bird that had carried him there fell from the sky and landed not far from the two of them.

"You're the one waiting."

"You dare to come back!"

Bai Yun cursed as he looked at the giant bird's corpse.

Nami watched as the gun in Bai Yun's hand appeared and disappeared, rubbing her eyes and wondering if she was seeing things.

"Let's go find a place to eat, I'm a little hungry."

By the time Nami reacted, Bai Yun had already dragged the giant bird's carcass over.

"Ah...okay..."

........

"The soup is here!"

Looking at Bai Yun's back, Nami was surprised that he could actually cook.

While people were still speculating about his identity, Bai Yun turned around, placed a pot of soup on the table, and untied his apron to sit down.

Nami ladled out a bowl of soup and was about to take it with a smile when Bai Yun started drinking it himself.

She was so embarrassed that her smile and hand gestures froze.

"..."

He ladled himself a bowl of it indignantly.

Hmm? It tastes pretty good.

Nami took a bite, that was her first impression.

"Ahem, I haven't introduced myself yet."

"My name is Nami, and I'm a thief who specializes in stealing from pirates."

"This town has been taken over by the pirate Buggy the Clown, and everyone has gone to the shelter, which is why you can't see anyone now."

"And this Grand Line chart is something I stole from Bucky."

"My goal is to save up 100 million Berries."

"Only by going to the Grand Line and stealing more treasures from great pirates can I have a chance to collect 100 million Berries."

"With your amazing marksmanship, how about we team up and make a lot of money?"

"After it's done, we'll split it 20/80. I'll get 80% and you get 20%. After all, you don't know how to navigate, but I do. I'll put in more effort and get more money. Is that alright?"

After drinking half a bowl of soup, Nami put the bowl down and introduced herself, saying that she wanted a free bodyguard.

After finishing speaking, he picked up the bowl and continued drinking soup. He was getting thirsty from talking so much and was waiting for Bai Yun's reply.

Bai Yun chuckled inwardly. "Two-eighths ratio, do I look like a complete traitor to you, Miss Nami?"

"A thief who specializes in stealing from pirates."

"Should I be afraid?"

Bai Yun's answer was completely different from what Nami wanted.

"What's the meaning?"

"Because I'm a pirate too."

Bai Yun replied calmly.

Nami's eyes widened involuntarily.
