The aroma emanating from the orange cake made Luffy's stomach rumble again. He didn't think about anything else and went to the counter as Makino had told him.
Nami didn't even look up, focused on her work, and casually remarked...
Five thousand Berries!
This price isn't actually that expensive. You know, a single cotton candy in the One Piece world costs 500 Berries. On Earth, the price of ten cotton candies would hardly buy you a cake of this quality.
Luffy didn't say much. He took out some money and put it on the counter, but when he saw what Nami was drawing, he couldn't help but ask,
Is that a map you've drawn?
"It's a nautical chart!"
"Wow, that's impressive! I didn't know you were a navigator!"
Nami's expression softened slightly at this, and she glanced at Luffy before saying,
"Not yet, but I will definitely become the world's best navigator in the future!"
"That's wonderful! Would you like to become my partner? I can take you across the entire ocean!"
Nami put down her pen, looked at Luffy with an expression as if he were an idiot, and said,
"Do you think I need someone else to take me sailing when I have Chiga-nii here?"
"That's definitely different! He's still a navy officer after all, how can he be as free as someone who follows me?"
"Freedom? What do you do?"
"Haha! I forgot to introduce myself, my name is Luffy, and I'm going to be the Pirate King!"
Upon hearing this, both Nami and Nojiko paused. Nami slowly rose from her seat, stared into Luffy's eyes, and asked, word by word,
"So, you're a pirate?"
"Of course! I..."
boom!
Nami punched Luffy in the face with considerable force, and perhaps due to their natural incompatibility, the unsuspecting Luffy was sent flying out of the store by the punch.
The current Nami is no longer the "weak" navigator from the original timeline. Chiga specially transferred a female instructor from Gion to headquarters for her and Nojiko.
With these powerful training resources, her strength naturally improved by leaps and bounds, and she even wanted to join the Navy.
Nojiko looked at the wall where a large, human-shaped hole had appeared, and shrugged.
"It's like this again, repairing walls is very expensive, Nami!"
From her words, we can tell that Nami has lost her temper in the store more than once.
There's nothing that can be done about it. The two sisters, who were born beauties, have grown even more beautiful and charming. With more and more outsiders coming to the village, there are always a few clueless young men who can't help but have other ideas.
These people were naturally all dealt with by Nami, and the walls of the shop always suffered along with them.
Nami stuck out her tongue and said,
"I'm sorry, sister, but he said he's a pirate!"
Outside the shop, Luffy got up from the broken bricks and tiles. Apart from being a little dirty, he was not injured at all.
He dusted himself off, completely ignoring the strange looks from those around him, and shouted excitedly.
"That's fantastic! I'm determined to make you my partner!"
Upon hearing this, Nami's face showed disgust, and even the usually gentle Nojiko was angered.
"Is this guy crazy? He's been pestering me endlessly!"
Nami was determined to rush out of the store and teach that rude guy a lesson, and Nojiko followed her.
However, just as the two stepped out of the shop, a series of rapid footsteps approached, followed by a tall female officer with long pink hair leading a group of naval soldiers.
Upon seeing the female officer in charge, Nami's eyes lit up, and she called out,
"Sister Tina!"
Chapter 400 Navy Captain Tina
Tina, a cigarette between her fingers, a faint smile playing on her cool expression, nodded to Nami and teased her.
"Nami, how many times have you been bothered this month? If you keep breaking down the wall, your sister will be really annoyed."
Nami hugged Nojiko tightly and started acting cute.
"No way! My sister loves me the most... her little sister!"
Nojiko affectionately patted Nami's head and said with a smile,
"I'm so sorry, Colonel Tina, I'm sorry to trouble you again!"
"It's alright, maintaining order is my duty!"
Before Tina arrived, Gion had emphasized the importance of the two sisters, saying that they had a close relationship with Chiga and that she should take special care of them.
She had initially thought it would be a troublesome situation, but after arriving here, she found that both the gentle Nojiko and the lovely Nami were easy to get along with, and gradually, she became good friends with the two sisters.
In her spare time, she would train the two sisters, and after a while, she would personally send them to the Navy Headquarters. With Chiga's connection, these things were not a problem.
Tina chatted with Nami for a few minutes, then turned her gaze to Luffy, who was surrounded by soldiers.
Luffy's behavior was very different from the people she had captured before. He was calm and even grinned, showing no awareness of the possibility of being captured.
Tina shook her head, thinking to herself,
"Is this guy an idiot? He's about to be arrested and he's still grinning like an idiot."
She casually waved her hand, signaling the soldiers to make the arrest.
The soldiers received orders and immediately moved forward to capture Luffy. Luffy pressed down on his straw hat with one hand, and suddenly extended his other arm, swinging it around violently.
Before anyone could even get close, they were flung away by his arm. Seeing this, Tina frowned and said...
"A Devil Fruit user? Looks like a Paramecia type."
Luffy chuckled and then took off running. He didn't want to get entangled with these marines, but Tina wasn't about to let him go.
Tina snorted coldly, tightened her gloves, and then stretched out her arms towards Luffy, who was running away.
"Qiaoyushan!"
Her arms transformed into two extended black iron bars, quickly catching up with Luffy and encircling him.
Luffy stared in surprise at the iron bars binding him and exclaimed,
"You're also a Devil Fruit user?"
Nami came to Tina's side and looked at her arms, which had turned into iron bars, with a curious expression.
Tina rarely uses her Devil Fruit powers, but every time she does, she can't help but go up and take a look.
In the East Blue, Devil Fruits are still quite rare, as evidenced by the surprised expressions on the faces of those around them.
Tina felt she had successfully captured him, so she relaxed and started talking to Nami beside her.
"This isn't the first time you've seen it; you always look at me like a curious child!"
"But every time I see it, it feels so amazing! And Tina's abilities seem way cooler than that lunatic's!"
"You, you saw those abilities during the live broadcast of the Marineford War back then. Mine is nothing compared to theirs."
"That's just through a screen, how can it compare to seeing it up close and in person!"
"If you want to see it up close, why don't you let your brother Qianhe demonstrate it for you? He has more than one ability, and each one is terrifyingly powerful!"
When Chiga was mentioned, Tina's face lit up with admiration, while Nami pouted and muttered,
"Hmph, I don't know where he's been these past few years, he hasn't even come to see me. Once I get to headquarters, I'm going to pester him all the time!"
The two chatted as if no one else was around, completely ignoring Luffy who was tied up.
Luffy suddenly shouted, his body inflating like a balloon, breaking through the iron bars on his body.
Tina was startled. She withdrew her arm and whispered,
"What kind of ability is this? It's a bit strange..."
Upon seeing this, Nami immediately retreated to Nojiko's side, allowing Tina to focus on dealing with Luffy.
Luffy stretched his body, looked at Tina, and said with a smile.
"Your ability is quite interesting. Let me see how strong you are!"
As he spoke, he extended his arm backward and used the rebound force to strike Tina.
Seeing Luffy launch an attack, the soldiers behind Tina immediately opened fire. The bullets hit Luffy but bounced back, and many soldiers were hit and fell to the ground.
However, the bullets in the One Piece world are rather ridiculously powerful, and they are generally difficult to kill people. Even if these soldiers are hit by bullets, they only suffer minor injuries, and some soldiers can even get up directly after being hit.
Most of the marines sent here came from headquarters. They did not panic because of Luffy's strange abilities. Instead, they calmly changed into swords and rushed forward to fight Luffy hand-to-hand.
However, Luffy's physical skills were no joke. These guys were quickly beaten to the ground by Luffy. Tina was really shocked this time. Luffy looked to be only sixteen or seventeen years old, yet he could easily defeat so many Marine Headquarters soldiers. His talent was second to none even in the Headquarters.
After dealing with the Marine soldiers, Luffy charged towards Tina, unleashing a barrage of attacks with his arms.
"Rubber machine gun!"
Tina used her Observation Haki, her figure flashing and dodging between Luffy's fists. Seeing his attack miss, Luffy retreated to the side and said...
"That must be Observation Haki, my dad demonstrated it for me."
Hearing this, Tina became interested. In the East Blue, Haki was just as rare as Devil Fruits, and she thought that Luffy's father must not be an ordinary person either.
"Oh? Who's your father?"
"His name is... wait, what's his name again?"
Luffy scratched his head. He had actually forgotten his father's name. Following Yamato, another filial son had been born.
Tina was speechless. She felt that Luffy was playing a trick on her, and she said, word by word...
Tina is very angry!
With a flick of her wrist, an iron rod appeared in her hand. It was quite similar to Chiga's Yin-Yang Release, but its quality was naturally incomparable.
Tina gripped the iron rod tightly, stomped her foot, and used Shave Flash to appear in front of Luffy, raising the rod to smash it down on Luffy's face.
