One Piece: I am the Empress, and the more sycophants I have, the stronger I become.

This caused a huge uproar in everyone's hearts. Before they could fully digest this astonishing information, another jaw-dropping thing happened.

Nami, a girl skilled in calculation, is constantly trying to find the quickest way to save Cocoyasi Village.

Upon hearing the word "cooperation," their eyes lit up instantly.

She strode to Hancock's box and, ignoring the wary looks from Aria and the other female warriors, spoke urgently.

"Your Majesty! Regarding the cooperation you mentioned... well, could I possibly follow you for now? I'm willing to serve you! My navigation skills are excellent! I'm sure I can be of great help to you!"

She still wanted to hold onto this seemingly strongest and most powerful golden thigh that could directly crush Ah Long.

Before Hancock could answer, Luffy scratched his head and looked at Nami with a puzzled expression.

"Huh? Nami, didn't you say you wanted to draw a world map? You can only draw it if you come on an adventure with us!"

Hancock found this scene quite amusing.

Her gaze swept around and finally landed on Luffy, as if she were appraising a rare treasure.

She gently shook her head, as if to Nami, and to everyone else as well.

He then uttered even more earth-shattering words:

"Little thief, I understand your intentions. However, there's little point in me taking you away now."

She paused, her voice carrying a profound understanding of fate.

"As for cooperation... the reason I'm willing to 'bet' on him is..."

She deliberately drew out her words, successfully attracting everyone's attention.

Even Zoro, who was preparing to teach Luffy a lesson for his reckless invitations, and Usopp, who had just woken up from his coma, perked up their ears.

Hancock's slender fingers gently tapped at Wang Lufei, who looked completely bewildered.

Her red lips parted slightly, as if she were reading a resume that would shake the world.

"Monkey D. Luffy".

"Your mentor is Shanks, one of the Four Emperors who staked an arm on the new era."

"..."

Everyone's pupils constricted!

The Four Emperors?!

The man who stands at the pinnacle of piracy?!

"Your father is Monkey D. Dragon, the leader of the Revolutionary Army who is now an enemy of the World Government and is considered the world's most heinous criminal."

"!!!"

Zoro nearly dropped his sword, Usopp rolled his eyes and fainted again, Sanji dropped his cigarette, and Nami covered her mouth, her eyes wide with shock.

Revolutionary leader?!

"And your grandfather was a pillar of the Marine Headquarters, hailed as a naval hero... Monkey D. Garp."

"..."

This time, even Zhefu gasped, feeling his wooden legs go weak.

The grandson of a naval hero becomes the Pirate King?!

What a magical family this is!

Hancock looked at the group of people before her, completely petrified, as if struck by a series of thunderbolts, and appreciating their expressions with satisfaction. Finally, she concluded:

"The Four Emperors have staked their arms on you, the Revolutionary Army leader is your father, and the Marine hero is your grandfather... I just find it amusing, so what's so strange about betting a little bit of the future on you?"

Her gaze swept over Nami, who was completely stunned, and she added meaningfully.

"Now, do you still think that following him will be slower than following me directly?"

"The world's strongest... a crony..."

Usopp muttered to himself, expressing the thoughts of everyone.

Looking at the straw-hatted boy who was still tilting his head in confusion, asking, "What are you talking about?", everyone felt a wave of dizziness.

This background is ridiculously strong!

No wonder the Empress mentioned cooperation. This isn't a story of a commoner going to sea; it's clearly a story of a rich young master starting his voyage overseas!

After the initial shock, Nami's brain started working at an unprecedented speed.

Shanks... Dragon... Garp... Each of these names represents power and authority at the top of the sea!

Although Luffy may seem weak now, his background... his potential...

If we can draw upon his power.

Or rather, leveraging the potential influence of the terrifying network of relationships behind him...

Dealing with Ah Long seems... no longer a distant dream?

Is it even more... realistic than painstakingly stealing money yourself, or pinning your hopes on the elusive help of the Empress?

A bold idea, to place all my bets on this "world's most powerful connections," began to grow wildly in Nami's mind.

The way she looked at Luffy had completely changed.

It's no longer about watching an idiotic captain, but about watching a... mobile, potentially enormous hope and... tool to save Cocoyasi Village?

That's right!

A resolute glint and a deeply hidden scheming glint flashed in Nami's eyes.

I have to get him to help me! No matter what method I have to use!

Arlong's shadow seemed to find a hopeful, albeit tortuous, breakthrough at this moment, because Luffy's horrifying background was revealed.

Nami has already begun to formulate a plan to use Luffy and his background to resolve Arlong's crisis.

Although this plan may involve deception and betrayal.

Hancock took in Nami's changing expression and knew she had achieved her goal.

She successfully redirected Nami's attention and desire for power towards Luffy.

This aligns with the original story and could potentially lead to a more mature and valuable Nami in the future.

"Alright, the show's over, it's time for me to leave."

Hancock turned around gracefully, no longer wanting to pay attention to the crowd behind her who were still reeling from the shockwaves.
