Luffy, how can you become the Pirate King if you don't work hard!

"Nami, studying is a tough thing, but you have to keep going!"

"So you have to choose what you like to do, otherwise you won't have any motivation and you'll just feel bored."

"Can't remember? Haha, are you sleepy? I was like that back in naval school, so I became a combatant right away."

"How beautiful! Is this a nautical chart drawn by Nami? You'll definitely become an excellent navigator in the future."

Bellemere, I didn't become a navigator for the Navy, but instead became the pirate you hate the most.

"Remember the depth points and contour lines. The most important thing on a nautical chart is to draw navigational aids and mark the terrain and facilities."

Nami rested her chin on her hand, looked at Luffy, and asked, "What's your goal in learning all this nautical knowledge? Just because you're bored?"

"No, I'm going to become the Pirate King!"

Luffy clenched his fist.

Nami pouted.

With her as the most outstanding navigator, what need is there for Luffy?

Wait... Nami's mind stirred slightly.

She is very sensitive to this, especially at such a critical time.

Why did you suddenly want to learn about navigation?

Nami stopped explaining, crossed her arms, and asked, "What are you worried about?"

"Worried?" Luffy looked up blankly.

Nami chuckled, but the smile didn't reach her eyes. "I think you're just afraid I'll run away and there won't be anyone to guide you bunch of idiot pirates, so you're trying to cram at the last minute, right?"

"How could that be? Partners are meant to be trusted, and Nami, you're a partner I acknowledge."

Luffy laughed, "He's the navigator of our Straw Hat crew!"

"What do you mean 'ours'? Who said I'm definitely yours?" Nami's heart skipped a beat, and her throat went dry.

Therefore, she really doesn't want to get involved with anyone.

Just like Karina.

Nami is destined to be a loner, and anyone who gets involved with her will be unfortunate.

She couldn't quite understand Luffy's thought process. They hadn't known each other for very long, yet he trusted her so much.

She even agreed to let her keep the treasures in the warehouse.

Is he really a pirate?

Nami stared at Luffy for a while.

If it were him, could he help her drive the evil dragon and his gang out?

Thinking of something, Nami's voice lowered a few decibels, "That's easy for you to say. It's common for pirate crews to break up, isn't it? What makes you so sure I'll stay? What if I never intended to stay forever from the start? What if I have a reason to leave?"

"The reason you had to leave?"

Luffy frowned, his rubber face scrunched up.

Luffy's straightforward thinking makes it impossible for him to understand what Nami meant.

However, the study time is finally over!

"Why would you have such a reason? If you have a reason, just say it and resolve it! Aren't partners supposed to help each other?"

Luffy stood up, looking serious.

Nami felt her mouth was a little dry and subconsciously said, "Then can you help me...?"

Just then, with a creak, a corner of the cloth covering the table that Luffy had accidentally knocked over slipped off.

An upside-down wooden photo frame was revealed.

"Huh, what's this?"

Luffy's attention was immediately diverted.

He always felt that the covered picture frame in Nami's room looked out of place.

Before Nami could react, her hand had already reached out and instinctively flipped the photo frame over.

The photo shows three smiling people.

One is a little Nami with two small braids and a round face.

Next to her was a slightly older girl with short blue hair.

Standing in the middle, their arms tightly linked, was a woman in a navy uniform, with a sunny and gentle demeanor, who was grinning broadly.

Luffy hadn't reacted yet.

Nami snatched the photo frame away!

Then, Luffy saw a face that had instantly lost all color.

"Nami, what's wrong?"

Even if Luffy was slow on the uptake, he could tell that Nami was angry. He panicked and frantically tried to react, when that horrible voice rang out again.

If you sleep for an hour and eat for a minute, how much time is left for a break?

Nami's body trembled uncontrollably, her jaw clenched tightly around her lower lip, and even a faint metallic taste seeped out.

"Get out of here!"

“Hey, Nami…”

Luffy was startled by her sudden and intense reaction and instinctively took a step back.

"Sorry, I'm not in the mood to teach you right now. Can I have some peace and quiet?"

Nami took a deep breath and slammed the photo frame back down hard with one hand.

Luffy scratched his head, completely bewildered as to what had happened.

Are women really that hard to understand?

Luffy was completely confused, but he knew that something must be going on with Nami.

The problem is that there's no time right now.

"boom--!"

The door slammed shut behind him, making the entire cabin wall vibrate.

"Nami! We're comrades..."

Inside the room, Nami leaned against the cold door and slowly slid down to sit on the floor.

I couldn't hear anything after that.

For her, the only place she could cry was her own room... which was clearly not this room.

On the deck, Usopp was fiddling with the cannon, aiming it at the vast sea in the distance.

Then I heard a sound and turned around.

"They were kicked out so late?"

Usopp stopped aiming and looked at Luffy. "What happened?"

Nami is in a bad mood.

The death knell was approaching Luffy, and he didn't have time to chat with Usopp.

Before he was released, he still had the time and energy to play with Usopp.

For example, sticking a pair of chopsticks into your nostrils and then dancing a strange dance while holding a winnowing basket.

Because studying with Usopp conflicted with Nami's schedule.

Luffy is now thinking about developing his Devil Fruit ability.

The Gum-Gum Fruit can be used to develop all sorts of weird and wonderful skills, like slingshots, whips, battle axes, rocket launchers...

Luffy can think of anything.

what else?

He casually asked, "Usopp, what do you want to do if you become a pirate?"

Usopp grinned and put his hands on his hips.

"I will become a brave sea warrior! Then I will travel to the land of giants to see the strongest race in the world..."

giant?

Luffy's eyes lit up immediately.

"Yeah," he said, glancing down at his fist.

Chapter 5 I don't want to be looked at like trash by Nami either.

[Day Two of the One Piece Training Program.]

[Automatically adjusting based on your physical condition. Half an hour of sleep time achieved. Please wake up immediately for morning exercise... Countdown: 30 seconds.]

Not long after midnight, the warning sounded in my ears.

Luffy really wanted to go to Nami's room right now, wake her up, and ask her what time of day the morning training was.

Yesterday, when Nami and I were learning theoretical knowledge, the materials seemed to mention a description of specific time periods.

Of course, the consequences of doing so would be severe.

Luffy's fist hardened.

At this time, even the training fanatic Zoro had just finished showering and was lying in bed.

"That's really weird."
