Danger was closing in at that moment.

Nami's heart skipped a beat in shock. Without thinking, she quickly lowered the folded sails and grabbed the oars, rowing frantically.

As he paddled, he shouted to Wukong, "Wukong! There's danger! Wake up! Wake up!!"

She rowed frantically, her face already deathly pale.

In the ocean, the creature she least wanted to encounter was a sea monster, a huge and ferocious beast.

Why do experienced sailors still lose their lives at sea? Often it's because they encounter sea monsters.

Against such creatures, which are difficult to resist unless there are cannons, if there are no cannons on the ship, it is basically a death sentence, and very few people can escape from their jaws.

Nami's ship was just an ordinary little sailboat, without any cannons or even a fishing spear, a weapon that could be used in a desperate fight.

Therefore, Nami was already terrified at this moment.

She doesn't want to die here!

I don't want to become food for sea monsters!

"Waaaaaah!!!"

Constantly watching the movements behind her, she was terrified when she saw the sea monster approaching, its blood-red mouth wide open, ready to bite them.

In an instant, it was as if a small universe had exploded within her. The oars moved so fast that afterimages appeared, causing the boat to leap a distance and narrowly avoid the attack of the sea monster.

"Hey! Wukong! Wake up right now! If you don't wake up, we're going to be eaten!!"

"Huh? What happened?"

Awakened by Nami's scream, Goku sat up groggily, rubbed his eyes, and looked bewildered.

"What are you all standing there for! Come help me row! We have to escape its hunting grounds!"

Nami shouted through gritted teeth.

It is said that sea monsters have their own hunting territories, and once they leave their territory, they will no longer think of eating you.

This was said by an old sailor who supposedly escaped death from the jaws of a sea monster.

"Escape? Why should we escape?"

Wukong glanced at the sea monsters relentlessly pursuing them and asked in confusion.

Nami was so angry she was about to vomit blood.

Is this guy stupid, dumb, or just oblivious?

"Aren't you just waiting to be eaten if you don't run away?!" she roared.

"Huh?"

Wukong blinked, as if he understood something, and then stood up.

To Nami's disbelief, he leaped up and jumped toward the sea monster behind him.

"Hey! Are you crazy?!"

Bang! ! !

Just as she cried out in alarm, Wukong, who had jumped above the sea monster, used the momentum of his fall to kick the sea monster hard on the head, producing a loud thud.

The next second, the sea monster that had been relentlessly pursuing them was now floating quietly on the surface of the sea, its eyes rolled back, like a dead dog.

Nami:!!!∑(°Д°ノ)ノ

Witnessing this scene, her mind went completely blank with shock.

Wait, what did you just do?

You defeated an incredibly ferocious sea monster?

And it only took one strike?

"Hehe, Nami, we've got our breakfast sorted for tomorrow."

Wukong stood on the sea monster's head and grinned, giving her a peace sign.

Nami finally came to her senses and stammered, "Goku, you...you're so amazing! Are you even human?!"

Recalling the incredible things Wukong had done in the past two days, she suddenly wondered if she and he were even the same species.

After all, where in the world are there kids this age who are this amazing!

Wukong frowned adorably: "Of course I'm human, what are you talking about?"

He then replied in a very serious tone, "The reason I'm so powerful is because I've been training diligently, and I will continue to train to become even more powerful!"

Cultivation? To become more powerful?

Nami swallowed hard, unable to imagine how powerful Goku would become in a few years, given how strong he was already now.

She glanced at Wukong, then at the sea beasts below him, and a thought suddenly popped into her mind.

"Hey, Wukong, I have an idea."

Wukong, who was crouching down and curiously examining the sea monster, looked up and asked in a daze, "What?"

"You probably don't know where to find a boat, and you don't have the money to buy one."

Nami smiled slyly and said with certainty.

"Mhm." Wukong nodded honestly.

"How about we cooperate? You can travel with me on this ship to various islands, and on each island we reach, I'll help you find out where that martial arts tournament is being held."

"But at the same time, you also need to do me a favor."

When Goku heard that Nami was willing to let him use the ship together and even take him to inquire about information, his eyes lit up and he jumped back into the ship in a flash.

He stood in front of Nami and nodded without hesitation, "Sure! What can I do for you?"

Nami's smile faded, and she said seriously, "This favor is dangerous. I only had this idea because I thought you were quite skilled. You need to think it over carefully."

"If you don't want to, I won't force you, and I'll try to find you a boat. Of course, you'll have to pay for the boat yourself; I can't help you with that."

Influenced by the emotion in her words, Wukong also became serious and nodded earnestly: "Go ahead and speak."

"First, I need to let you know the purpose of my voyage. I'm going to earn 100 million Berries," Nami said, raising her index finger.

"Therefore, I target pirates, taking their treasure to achieve my goals. As for ruthless bullies like Gato, I'll take their treasure if the opportunity arises."

"But you know, whether they are pirates or bullies, they are very strong and there are many of them. Every time I am about to take their treasure, I have to plan for a long time and think about my escape route."

Nami paused for a moment, then continued:

"The best-case scenario, of course, is that I'm far away by the time they realize their treasure is missing. But pirates are very shrewd and guard their treasures very closely. Often, they'll discover me shortly after I take it and then chase after me."

"So what I want your help with is to distract them, or even divert their attention, when I'm about to take their treasure."

"This way, I'll have plenty of time to leave and safely bring the treasure out."

After speaking at length, she picked up the water bottle to moisten her throat, then looked at Wukong and asked:

"How about it? Think it over carefully. With your skills, it shouldn't be difficult for you to escape and reunite with me, but there are still some risks. After all, pirates often kill without hesitation, and even just attracting attention could be life-threatening."

At this moment, Goku frowned slightly. He didn't answer Nami's question, but instead asked, "You said take their money, do you mean steal it?"

Nami's eyes flickered, and her expression showed some hesitation.

This was her biggest worry, because what had happened before told her that Wukong was a person with a strong sense of justice.

Even if the thief is a bad guy like a pirate, the other party might not approve of such behavior.

A few seconds later, she exhaled and slowly said, "That's right, it actually means stealing. I'm a thief who targets pirates."

After saying that, she felt inexplicably relieved.

"I wouldn't steal from ordinary people, but I feel perfectly justified in stealing from villains like pirates who do all sorts of evil deeds," she said, looking directly at Goku.

"But there are some non-bad people among the pirates," Goku said earnestly, looking at her in return.

"Not a bad person?"

Nami never expected Goku to give such an answer, and she clenched her fists instantly.

"Even if you don't want to help me, you don't need to use such a lame excuse!"

"You know what? I hate pirates the most! Because pirates are all bad guys!"

She gritted her teeth and said angrily.

"Fine! I don't need your help anymore! I'll keep my promise! That's it!"

She unilaterally ended the conversation, walked to a corner in the distance, sat down, hugged her knees, and silently gazed at the night sky.

Wukong was completely bewildered by her sudden change of expression.

He scratched his face and muttered to himself:

"Huh? Did I say something wrong?"
