Little Goku's Great Adventure Starting from One Piece

The night grew ever deeper.

On the calm sea, a small boat with its sails furled sways gently with the ripples.

The sea monster, kicked to death, floated behind the small boat, which was connected to it by a rope to ensure that there would still be breakfast for tomorrow.

Wukong sat by the fire, occasionally turning his head to look at Nami, who was sitting at the bow of the boat gazing at the night sky.

An unknown amount of time passed.

Goku finally stood up, hesitated, and walked behind Nami, cautiously probing, "Um, Nami, can I ask you why you wanted to earn 100 million Berries?"

After several seconds of silence, Nami's voice finally came softly:

"Because there's something I absolutely have to accomplish, and to accomplish it, I need to earn a hundred million Berries."

Wukong blinked and asked, "What is it?"

"That's my secret," Nami replied without turning her head.

secret?

Goku scratched his face and changed the subject: "If you want to earn 100 million Berries, why can't you use other methods instead of stealing?"

"Ha, you think 100 million Berries is so easy to earn? Do you even know how much 100 million Berries is?" Nami's tone was somewhat sarcastic.

Wukong really didn't know this, because he had no concept of money at all. Last time, he even thought of using a coin that could only buy candy to buy roast meat.

So he tilted his head, puzzled, and asked, "I don't know, is 100 million Berries a lot?"

Upon hearing this, Nami, who had her back to him, twitched at the corner of her mouth.

She knew it; the other party really didn't know what a hundred million Berries meant.

As her emotions gradually calmed down, she no longer felt impatient and explained to Wukong:

"One hundred million berries is a sum of money that countless people cannot earn in their entire lives. In my hometown, the entire village combined couldn't even raise ten million berries, let alone one hundred million berries."

"So if I try to earn it through a legitimate job, I'll never succeed. The only way I can hope to earn it is by stealing the treasure of pirates."

Goku scratched his face, finally understanding why Nami would steal.

"So 100 million Berries is that much," he muttered to himself.

Thanks to the crane's teaching, his arithmetic skills improved slightly, and he learned how much the difference was between one hundred million and ten million.

He pondered for a while, chin in hand, then asked, "Besides stealing money from pirates, is there no other way for you to earn 100 million Berries?"

"Ha, do you think you can make this much money through conventional methods? We are the most backward place here. There is no other way to quickly accumulate wealth except by taking shortcuts."

Nami finally turned her head and looked at him irritably.

"However, there is another way, which is to become a pirate hunter."

"As long as you capture those wanted pirates and hand them over to the Navy, you can get a considerable bounty."

"But I can't do that. I don't have the ability. I can only choose to steal their treasure."

At this point, Nami's eyes showed a hint of sadness.

If there were no other way, who would be willing to do such petty theft?

You have to understand that she was only ten years old when she was forced to earn 100 million Berries!

What other way could a ten-year-old child earn 100 million Berries besides stealing?

Upon hearing her words, Wukong's eyes lit up, and he looked at her with a grin:

"Oh, I saw a way! Nami, how about I help you catch pirates and exchange them for the bounty?"

......

On the bustling streets, shouts, footsteps, and the bubbling of pots at the stalls filled the air.

"Hey, Nami, are you sure you don't need my help?"

At a dessert stall, Goku sat on a small chair, swinging his legs, and looked up at Nami with a blank expression, asking her a question.

"No need, I'll figure out the money myself. Don't worry about me anymore, worry about yourself instead."

After saying that, Nami went to the stall and asked the owner for the largest portion of glutinous rice balls.

After paying, he walked back to Wukong and instructed him, "You can eat here slowly. When you're done, sit here and wait for me. I'll go and ask about the martial arts tournament for you."

After saying that, she turned and left.

Let's go back to last night.

When Wukong offered to help her catch pirates in exchange for the bounty, she refused his offer without even thinking.

Even though Goku seems incredibly skilled, even stronger than an adult, she wouldn't let him go head-to-head with ruthless pirates.

After all, pirates possess powerful weapons and are all cunning and ruthless; being skilled doesn't guarantee victory.

She could never ask a child she had only known for two days to risk their life to help her.

However, although she rejected Wukong's suggestion, it doesn't mean she wasn't moved by his idea.

So she decided that for the next period of time, she would first help the other party find out information about the martial arts tournament.

Anyway, she doesn't have any pirates to steal treasure from right now.

......

At the stall, the vendor carefully placed a steaming bowl of glutinous rice balls in front of Wukong on the table, smiling broadly as he said:

"The glutinous rice balls are here! They're fresh out of the pot and still very hot, so eat slowly, little one!"

"Mmm! Thank you, uncle!"

Wukong nodded obediently, then looked at the glutinous rice balls in front of him.

He had never tried this before. He only learned about this soft and sticky dessert, which was said to be universally loved, through Nami's introduction.

Seeing that he had never eaten it before, Nami took him to the stall and asked him to try it, which led to the scene where he is now sitting here preparing to taste the glutinous rice balls.

Looking at the bowl full of white glutinous rice balls, he picked up a spoon and curiously poked at it.

Then I scooped up one, put it directly into my mouth, and tentatively bit down.

Next second,

"Ouch—it's so hot! So hot! So hot!!"

He hurriedly spat out the glutinous rice ball that had leaked black liquid, his tongue sticking out like a dog's, and his little hands fanning the air frantically.

"Hahaha! Little guy, you can't swallow this whole. You have to hold it in your mouth and take a few bites." A diner next to him laughed at his antics.

Then he demonstrated it once.

As Wukong gradually recovered, he imitated his actions, scooped a new glutinous rice ball to his mouth, and carefully took a bite.

The next second, the sweet and sticky texture and the unique aroma of the sesame filling flooded his taste buds, instantly brightening his eyes.

"Just like Nami said, it's delicious!"

......

"Hey boss, a beer, please."

In a noisy bar, Nami walked calmly to the bar and tossed two Berries onto the counter.

"Please wait a moment, guest."

The boss glanced at Bailey, casually put him away, and then took out a wine glass to pour the wine.

After the owner placed the poured wine in front of her, Nami picked it up and gulped down a large mouthful.

When it was put down again, only half of the wine remained in the glass.

"Hey boss, have you ever heard of the World Martial Arts Tournament?"

She asked casually.

The shopkeeper paused for a moment, then asked in confusion, "The World's Number One Martial Arts Tournament? What's that?"

Nami understood immediately and waved her hand, saying, "If you haven't heard of it, it's hard for me to explain to you."

After saying that, she finished the rest of her drink in one gulp and left the bar.

After looking around the street, she headed towards the next place she thought she might find information.

Meanwhile, on the street where Wukong ate tangyuan, a group of lawless thugs arrived.
