"Please accept this; it contains three million Berries."

When Nami walked out of the naval branch office carrying a box of money, she still seemed to be in a dream.

She stared blankly at the briefcase in her hand, and couldn't help but murmur, "Three million Berries, and it's already in my hands?"

In the past, it would have taken her a lot of effort to steal this amount of money, requiring a great deal of mental and physical exertion, and risking her life to steal it from pirates.

But now, she hardly has to do anything. All she has to do is bring a pirate who is tied up and unconscious to the Navy branch and she can take the money.

The difference between the two is like night and day.

"Yo! Nami, you're out!"

Under a tree in the distance, Wukong, enjoying the cool shade, was gnawing on a meat leg with relish.

When he saw her come out, he waved to her with a smile.

Nami looked at him with a complicated expression, many thoughts flashing through her mind.

Finally, she smiled sweetly and walked gracefully toward Wukong, carrying her box.

"Wukong, we've got the money!"

......

The sky was a clear, deep blue, with white clouds drifting lazily by.

On the vast ocean, a warship with a huge dog's head on its prow is slowly moving forward.

"Vice Admiral Garp, we have news of Goku!"

Lanza ran out of the cabin and rushed to Kap, who was standing at the bow of the ship gazing at the ocean, his expression excited.

"We have received information that a male-female pirate hunter duo has recently appeared in the East Blue. They have captured a lot of pirates in just half a month, which has attracted a lot of attention."

"And one of the male pirate hunters is named Son Goku!"

"To prevent the possibility of different people having the same name, I specifically asked the branch members, and they all matched the appearance, so there's no doubt that this person is the Wukong we know!"

He was very happy.

Ever since Wukong mysteriously disappeared, he has been very worried about Wukong.

Although Vice Admiral Garp remained calm and told him there was nothing to worry about, that Goku would definitely not get into any trouble in the East Blue, he still couldn't help but feel concerned.

After all, according to Garp, Goku swam out to sea.

Although there are probably no creatures in the East China Sea that can threaten Wukong, there are many more dangers at sea than that. If he is not careful, he may still lose his life at sea.

Now that he has received news that Wukong is safe and sound, he feels incredibly relieved and happy.

He just couldn't understand how Goku became a pirate hunter, and even had a female partner.

Karp crossed his arms and listened quietly as he finished speaking, his face remaining expressionless.

Two seconds later, he burst into laughter without warning.

"Hahaha! See, I told you so! That kid Wukong will definitely not get into any trouble!"

"Look at him, he's alive and well, and even became a pirate hunter. We don't need to worry about anything at all!"

He laughed loudly and patted Lanza hard on the shoulder.

Lanza, whose shoulder had gone numb from the pat, silently took a few steps back, moving away from Garp's "attack" range, before saying:

"But Vice Admiral Garp, why would Goku become a pirate hunter? Wasn't he looking for his family?"

"Moreover, how come he's a pirate hunter with a woman? According to intelligence, this woman used to be a thief who targeted pirates."

Garp grinned and said without turning his head, "Isn't the first problem obvious? Goku eats so much, but he doesn't have much money. He definitely needs to find a way to make money."

"He definitely can't do regular work, and he wouldn't earn enough to eat. So what else can he do? He can only become a pirate hunter, which is free, convenient, and easy to earn more money."

"And think about it again, he's going to join our navy someday. Learning how to deal with pirates now is a great way for him to gain experience! It's killing two birds with one stone!"

"So... what's the second question?"

"The second question is not a big deal. Although Wukong is simple-minded, he is not stupid. He knows what kind of people he can associate with and what kind of people he needs to be wary of."

"Since this woman you mentioned can partner with him, it means Wukong trusts her. So why are you still worried?"

Lanza was speechless after Karp's words.

He thought about it and realized it really wasn't a problem; he was just worrying unnecessarily.

"Alright, Vice Admiral Garp, now that we know Goku's whereabouts, shall we return to headquarters?"

They've been in the East China Sea for over half a month now, and they don't have any mission. They just drift around at sea all day, trying to catch any pirates they happen to run into.

Previously, it could be said that he was staying here because he was worried about Wukong and was ready to set off to rescue him at any time. But now that Wukong is safe, there is no reason for him to stay here any longer.

After all, given the capabilities of the personnel on board this warship, they should be on missions in the Grand Line, not wasting time in the East China Sea, where the danger is least.

"No, let's stay a little longer."

Garp's gaze suddenly deepened as he stared into the distance, lost in thought.

......

On an island in the East Blue, Nami knocked out the last standing pirate with her long staff, breathed a sigh of relief, and raised her fist, jumping for joy:

"Wukong, we've taken down another group of pirates!"

Ahead of her, Goku, who had already knocked out the pirate leader and most of his men, smiled and said, "Hehe, Nami, you've gotten a little stronger."

"Of course!"

Nami stood with her hands on her hips, a broad smile on her face.

"I've been working hard to become even better all this time!"

After Goku defeated Kuro the wolf and the two received their first bounty from the Navy, they officially embarked on their journey as pirate hunters.

Nami primarily plays an intellectual role, including but not limited to gathering intelligence and confirming information such as the pirates' strength, number of members, bounty amount, and location.

Develop a battle plan and arrange an escape route in case of being outmatched by pirates;

Using nautical knowledge, reach each target island safely and quickly.

Wukong is much simpler; he only needs to utilize his strength, which is to defeat the enemy as quickly as possible!

Of course, what is described as simple is actually the most dangerous content.

Therefore, after careful consideration, Nami decided to share the burden with Goku and use her own strength to deal with some of the weaker pirates.

Therefore, she specifically asked Wukong for advice on how to use the long staff, and under his guidance, she improved her skills with the long staff, which led to the conversation between the two just now.

After tying up the pirate leader, who was under a bounty, the two tied up the rest of the pirates together, making it difficult for them to break free.

After doing all this, they took the pirate leader and set off for the Marine branch.

As for the other pirates, they will tell the Navy so that the Navy can send someone over to take them away.

After all, their ship couldn't carry that many people.

"Hey, Goku, I want to tell you something." Nami suddenly spoke up on the way to the Marine branch.

"What's wrong?" Wukong asked, puzzled.

"I think the martial arts tournament you're looking for is definitely not being held in the East Blue," Nami said seriously.

In recent days, while they were capturing pirates, they had also been inquiring about the World Martial Arts Tournament.

However, after passing through many islands, they never managed to gather any relevant information.

Nami pondered to herself, "天下" means the whole world, so wouldn't the World's First Martial Arts Tournament mean the World's First Martial Arts Tournament?

How could such a high-profile and impressive event be held in such a remote and underdeveloped place?

"Where will it be held?" Wukong asked.

Nami, with a solemn expression, slowly uttered a name: "The Grand Line!"
