Who told him to become the Pirate King!

Chapter 94 Nami Saw Someone More Beautiful Than Money (First Update, Please Subscribe!)

A blue-eyed white dragon roams the sky.

Storm held a rough map of the islands in the East China Sea in one hand and a compass in the other.

Sailing in the four outer seas.

All you need are three items: a ship, a map, and a compass.

You can then freely travel between most islands.

Of course, if the conditions really don't allow it.

You can become one of the Four Emperors even if you only have a barrel at the start.

"The Kingdom of Germa is currently in... the waters near the Kingdom of Oicot! Found!"

Storm looked at the island distribution map in his hand.

This is a map he "borrowed" from the Vinsmoke family library.

Judging from the extent of the damage, this map is quite old and is roughly at the level of being a museum artifact.

Storm found the name of the Kingdom of Oykot on an old map.

Immediately afterwards, he found the name of another archipelago near the Kingdom of Oycot—

The Konom Islands.

What caught Storm's attention was not only the archipelago shaped like a giant fried chicken leg, but also the naval branch base located near the Konom Islands—

The 16th Branch of the East China Sea.

"If I remember correctly, the 16th branch was that rat colonel's territory, wasn't it?"

Storm frowned, recalling a moment.

"So, the Konom Islands are probably... the islands where Cocosia Village is located?"

Storm then carefully examined the distribution of villages on the Konom Islands.

Unfortunately, this map is too old; the writing is faded and there is no sign for Cocoyasi Village.

"Let's go take a look!"

Storm shifted his gaze from the map and bestowed the power of the Momo Fruit upon the Blue-Eyes White Dragon.

"Even getting a newer map would be fine!"

Under the Blue-Eyes White Dragon's rapid flight.

Not long after.

Storm then arrived at the Konom Islands.

A red light shone in his eyes, and his Observation Haki, enhanced by the power of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, easily covered the entire archipelago.

Under Storm's perception, the intensity of the auras of all the creatures on the entire Konomi Islands was laid bare.

"A group of creatures whose aura far surpasses that of ordinary humans, and whose shapes are completely unlike humans, are near that coast... Are they really fish-men?"

Storm sensed the presence of those auras.

He could be certain that the Konomiya Islands were indeed the islands where Cocoyasi Village, the hometown of Nami the Cat Burglar, the future navigator of the Straw Hat crew, was located!

The blue-eyed white dragon flapped its wings and flew toward the location that Storm had sensed.

Near the coast of the Konom Islands, a tall castle stands quietly, its style incongruous with the surrounding villages.

This is the infamous Arlong Park in the Konom Islands.

At the same time.

Inside Alon Park.

"Oh, I'm finally back..."

Ah Long looked at the slender, cold-faced orange-haired girl in front of him and let out a wild laugh.

"Welcome back, our surveyor, Nami!"

four years ago.

Arlong came to the East Blue from the Grand Line and forcibly occupied all the villages on the Konomiya Islands, including Cocoyasi Village, becoming the "tyrant" of the Konomiya Islands.

During his conquest of humanity, Arlong discovered a young girl named Nami who possessed unparalleled talent in navigation and drawing.

Arlong forces Nami to become part of his team as a nautical chart maker.

At the same time, Arlong also told Nami that if she could come up with 100 million Berries, she could redeem Cocoyasi Village and its residents from him.

Nami agreed.

Since four years ago, Nami has been constantly active in the East Blue in pursuit of her goal of 100 million Berries.

Being young and weak, she couldn't plunder wealth like a normal pirate.

Her choice was—to steal!

And it was a purposeful theft!

At such a young age, Nami has grasped a very useful truth—

In this era of fierce competition among pirates, how much money can one earn by stealing from ordinary people?

Stealing money from pirates is the only way to make more!

Until today.

Nami has been a thief for four years and has saved up a considerable amount of money.

"Here's the map you wanted!"

Nami's right arm was wrapped in thick bandages. She picked up a stack of maps with her left hand and tossed them to a nearby fishman.

"I'm leaving!"

"Don't rush off!"

Ah Long called out to Nami.

As he spoke, two fishmen appeared together, blocking Nami's path.

"You've been gone for so long, and this is all the map you've drawn? Humph!"

Ah Long casually took the nautical charts handed to him by his subordinates. Even with his gaze, one could see the exquisite craftsmanship of these charts.

"Xiao Ba! Take our surveyor into the map room!"

"You're not getting out of here for the rest of your life unless you come up with ten new maps!"

The octopus-like fish-man, Hachi, with a red sun symbol imprinted on his forehead, stretched out his tentacles to block Nami.

"Come with me, Nami."

Nami glanced coldly at Hachi; she knew this would be the outcome of her visit to Arlong Park.

Because every time Ah Long came here, he would force her to draw more nautical charts.

Nami was already used to it.

As long as the other party keeps their promise, she doesn't care how many maps she draws...

Just as Nami was about to go to the map room in Arlong Park with Hachi.

Suddenly, the entire Alon Park shook violently, as if a huge meteorite had crashed onto the top of the building.

Having reigned supreme in the "weakest" East Blue for so long, these fish-men from the Grand Line have long lost their vigilance. There aren't even any fish-men responsible for lookout duties, so they have no idea what's going on.

"Earthquake!"

"The park is going to collapse!"

"Everyone, run out of here!"

Nami watched the fish-men immediately panic and found it inexplicably amusing.

I hope it really is an earthquake...

It shook Arlong Park so badly that it collapsed, crushing all the fishmen to death...

Let's smash me to death too, since the villagers of Cocoyasi Village don't need a thief like me anymore...

Just as Nami's thoughts were wandering.

Ah Long spoke up in time to stabilize morale.

"Don't panic! So what if an earthquake strikes? We're fish-men!"

The other fish-men in Arlong's crew had calmed down after hearing this.

But at that moment...

A lifelike and enormous dragon head suddenly appeared at the entrance of Alon Park.

The azure eyes of this white dragon head reflected the figures of every fishman in Arlong Park as clearly as a mirror.

"Hehe—"

"monster--"

"Dragon... White Dragon!"

The fish-men, who had just begun to calm down, went completely blank the moment they saw the enormous dragon head, and almost lost their ability to speak.

Even Ah Long was sweating profusely. He forced himself to calm down, stood up and roared.

"Fishmen are invincible!"

The Blue-Eyed White Dragon merely glanced at Arlong, its eyelids slightly closed, and a powerful gust of explosive wind rushed towards Arlong.

boom!

In full view of everyone.

Ah Long's head exploded like a watermelon, sending crimson blood and turbid brain matter soaring into the sky, like a rain of blood falling in the lobby of Ah Long Park.

A headless merman corpse swayed for a moment before collapsing to the ground with a thud.

The other fish-men in Arlong's pirate crew were also completely silent.

Nami stared at the headless corpse on the floor, her pupils dilating instantly.

Over the past few years, she has had countless similar "dreams".

In her dream, she tore all the fishmen in Arlong's pirate crew to pieces and killed them in various ways.

But... this should be reality, right?

Nami bit her lower lip tightly, fearing that the scene before her was just another "dream."

If this is a dream, please don't let her wake up again...

A strange voice, one that Nami had never heard before, rang out at the entrance of Arlong Park.

"That was a bit of a miscalculation. Does the Sawtooth Sharkman have that much blood pressure? It's spraying all over the ceiling..."

The other person stood there, sunlight streaming along the edges of his body into Alon Park, as if draping him in a golden glow.

At that moment, Nami seemed to see someone more beautiful than money...

No, it's God!

Storm frowned as he surveyed the scene in Aaron Park.

His control over the power of the [Death Blink] was still somewhat lacking—or rather, the ability itself was somewhat flawed.

Once used, it can easily cause horrific scenes of limb mutilation and bloody carnage.

Strom, who loves cleanliness, can't stand such a dirty place.

Clay-Clay Fruit, Awaken!

The entire Alon Park was instantly transformed into clay, with white clay walls and floors rippling in waves, completely covering the bloodstains inside the building.

Meanwhile, the other members of Arlong's pirate crew were also taken control of by the white clay.

Besides their measuring instruments.

White clay formed a mobile elevator laid flat on the ground.

The elevator, carrying Nami, slowly and steadily brought the orange cat thief to Storm.

"Is your name Nami?"

Nami arrived in front of Storm, and before she could even see his face clearly, she leaped high into the air.

It's like a nimble little orange cat.

Nami climbed directly onto Storm's body.

"Hey, feed me? What are you doing?"

Storm's expression instantly turned disgusted. He pressed down on Nami's head with his right hand, while also pressing down on her small mouth that kept sticking out.

"You must be Nami?"

Am I dreaming right now?

Nami was unreasonable, but she was also very stubborn.

"I finally fulfilled my 'hero saves the damsel in distress' dream, can't I indulge myself a little?"

"Whether it's a dream or not, why don't you pinch yourself and find out?"

"No! I don't want to wake up from this dream! I wish I never had to!"
