Just as Coby was about to fall asleep, he heard a noise. He initially thought it was a thief, so he quietly opened the door a crack and saw Nami. He breathed a sigh of relief and was about to explain the situation when he discovered that Nami was unlocking the door and that Mashiro was not around.

Sensing something was wrong, Koby stopped.

And that's how we saw Nami steal the box that Mashiro had placed with Beryl, and then leave in a small boat.

So the next morning, Coby got up early and searched through inns one by one until he found Mashiro's room. His thoughts were very simple: Mashiro had saved him, and this was the only way he could repay her.

"Lord Mashiro, let's go tell the Navy quickly. With their help, we'll definitely be able to find that guy," Coby said.

Upon hearing this, Mashiro gently patted Coby's shoulder and said, "No need to rush, I already knew about this." Coby scratched his head, somewhat puzzled.

“But thank you for reminding me anyway, Coby,” Mashiro said softly.

Seeing this, Koby's face flushed slightly; this was the first time he had received affirmation from someone. Koby's approval rating increased by 20%, his luck value reached 100%, and he gained one chance to draw a prize.

Hearing the system notification, Mashiro was slightly taken aback. She had been wondering how the system would distribute the rewards, but now it seemed that it would be in the form of luck points.

Speaking of Mashiro's current level of recognition, Sanji has 60, Nami 30, and Koby 20, for a total of 110. It seems that recognition and luck points are exchanged at a one-to-one ratio.

In other words, if a person's luck value is 10, then even if their recognition of Mashiro reaches 100, the luck value they can provide is still 10. However, if a person's luck value is 95, then if their recognition of Mashiro reaches 100, then they can provide Mashiro with 95 luck value.

Open your own panel. [Name: Hinata Mashiro]

Gender: Female Age: 20 Luck Value: 110

Historical texts collected: 0/26 Main quest progress: 0

"Just as I thought." Mashiro thought to himself, looking at the luck value displayed as 110.

"I'll handle it properly, Koby, you go back first," Mashiro said calmly, as she prepared to draw a prize.

Upon hearing this, Koby nodded tactfully, then turned and left. Closing the door, Mashiro sat on the bed and opened the system panel.

Next to the display of Makoto's personal information, a colorful coin floats out of thin air.

He reached out and pointed at the coin, which instantly turned into a golden light, followed by the appearance of a golden box.

The box opened, and a system notification sounded. [Reward Obtained: Limitless Technique]

[The host has been found to lack the Six Eyes and curse power. Rewards optimized; the reward is now unlimited.]

Immediately afterwards, a beam of white light was injected into Shinshiro's stamina, and information about the Limitless Technique also surfaced.

[Limitless Technique: A technique capable of interfering with matter at the atomic level and manipulating space. Once activated, objects that are close to it will gradually slow down.]

To a reality that can never be touched

[No Limits Technique: Replaces the Six Eyes and Cursed Power required for activation with Byakugan and Chakra; the ability changes are left to the host to discover.]

Chapter 8: The Weeping Orange Tree (Part 1)

"A technique with no limits? How interesting!" Mashiro's Byakugan suddenly turned blue, and as she stretched out her hand, she could feel a peculiar force.

The quantity is following her will.

Rejection? No, it's more like rejection. An interesting ability. "Feeling the power brought by the limitless," Mashiro said softly. As the blue pupils disappeared, the limitless mode also disappeared.

"It seems that special powers from other worlds, especially those that are developed in conjunction with specific systems, are difficult to unleash their original power even with systematic optimization," Mashiro muttered to himself.

According to the information provided by the system regarding the "Limitless Technique," this ability can only be used perfectly when accompanied by another power called "Six Eyes." The most crucial function of the "Six Eyes" is to reduce the energy consumption of the "Limitless Technique," making it almost a passive ability, and also giving rise to...

Three ways to enhance “苍”赫”.

Therefore, the management system instinctively optimized the "No Limit Technique" into the "No Limit Technique" based on the power within Mashiro's body, replacing the Six Eyes with the Byakugan and the curse power with chakra.

However, the Byakugan and the Six-Eyed Eyes are ultimately not the same power, because when Mashiro uses the "No Limit Technique," she still has to consume a certain amount of chakra, and of the three derived enhancement methods, only one remains: "Azure."

Unless Shinshiro pulls the "Six-Eyed" spell, the reward from this "unlimited technique" will remain incomplete.

However, Mashiro was already very satisfied with this. The "No Limit Technique" was indeed very strong, but that was all. Mashiro could even see many of its abilities reproduced using her own power. What truly surprised Mashiro was that this system could actually provide her with power from other worlds.

Mashiro is already thinking about how to convert the powers from other worlds she's gained into ninjutsu once she returns to the ninja world. Just as Mashiro was analyzing the principles of the "No Limits Technique," Nami arrived at her destination.

The Konomiya Islands are an archipelago located in the southern part of the East China Sea. Composed of about twenty villages, they are under the jurisdiction of the 16th Marine Division. Nami's hometown, Cocoyasi Village, is located in this area.

Cocoyasi Village, Nami's home.

She began to reminisce about the past, remembering her happy childhood, the villagers of Hechen, her gentle older sister, her beautiful and kind mother, and the arrival of the Arlong Pirates.

Thinking of this, Mao Mei gripped the cup in her hand tightly.

It was around that time that she learned about her origins and witnessed her mother's death. "Belmel...Mom..."

Nami gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.

"Don't lose to anyone. Girls must be strong too. It doesn't matter if you don't get praise from others. You must hate the era you were born into. Never forget to keep your smile and be strong..." Nami whispered Bellemere's words, and tears could no longer be held back and flowed down her cheeks.

"Hold me, Mother, I can't."

With Bellemere's death, Cocoyasi Village fell completely into the hands of the Arlong Pirates.

Led by Captain Arlong, they believed that fish-men were a superior race to humans, and based on this, they began their brutal rule over Cocoyasi Village.

Nami, possessing a natural talent for navigation, was forced by Arlong to become a member of his crew. Witnessing the plight of the villagers under Arlong's rule, she resolved to save the village. She decided to buy it from Arlong.

So she made a deal with Arlong: she would become a member of the Arlong Pirates and draw up sea charts for them until they collected 100 million Berries. In return, Arlong would take the Arlong Pirates away from Cocoyasi Village once she gave them the 100 million Berries.

From that moment on, Nami's desire for money skyrocketed to its peak. In order to obtain more Berries, she would do anything, from searching for treasure to digging up graves to stealing.

And today, she finally collected enough Berry.

"It was indeed a long time. One hundred million Berries... If we hadn't met Mashiro, who knows how many more years would have passed. Today, the village is finally free."

"Mashiro, I'll go and apologize later. I won't object to killing or punishing you then," Nami said firmly.

She has already informed the Arlong Pirates that the ransom has been paid, and they are just waiting for Arlong to arrive so that the transaction can begin.

“Everything is about to end. Everyone in Cocoyasi Village, and I, are finally going to be freed from Arlong’s clutches. Then, then I can finally smile from the bottom of my heart, Bellemere.” Nami wiped away her tears and said with a smile.

While Nami was waiting, Mashiro also arrived at Cocoyasi Village.

She had anticipated the possibility that Nami would steal the money and run away, so she had left chakra traces on some Berries beforehand. "Excuse me, do you know Nami?" Makoto asked softly, stopping a villager.

"Nami? What do you want with Nami?" Before the villager who had been stopped by Mashiro could answer, a blue-haired girl approached and asked Mashiro in a low voice.

"Who are you?" Mashiro asked softly, looking at the blue-clad girl beside her. "My name is Nojiko, and I'm Nami's older sister," Nojiko replied.

"Hello, my name is Mashiro, and I'm Nami's companion, for the time being," Mashiro said softly.

Upon hearing this, Nojiko paused for a moment, then pulled Mashiro into a house.

"Um, did Nami steal your money?" Nojiko asked hesitantly. "It's not exactly stealing, you could say she got an advance on her wages," Mashiro said calmly.

Upon hearing the truth, Nojiko looked as if she had known it all along, and said with a somewhat complicated expression, "I knew it. How could that kid have any companions?"

"Can you tell me? Nami has never mentioned what happened to her," Mashiro said softly, activating her genjutsu.

Looking into Mashiro's gentle eyes, Nojiko inexplicably lowered her guard. This story begins a long time ago...

Just then, footsteps approached. Thinking it was the Arlong Pirates, Nami went outside. "The Marines? Why is Ken here too?" Nami was puzzled when she saw it was the Marines.

"So you're the female thief named Nami, right? According to our investigation, you stole a lot of treasure from pirates and hid it in this orange grove, didn't you? Since the other party is a pirate, I won't blame you. However, a thief is a thief, so all the valuables you stole will now be kept by our government. Alright, hand over all the stolen goods. Confiscated!" A marine who looked like a rat said with a wicked grin.

Upon hearing this, Nami glanced at Ken, her eyes filled with terror and despair. Ken, too, was drenched in sweat.

Nami was only afraid for a moment, then she laughed and her expression became calm. She said, "This is really unexpected. You are really enthusiastic about your work. Because you don't have the courage to fight against the pirates, you come to thieves to boost your performance. You are really amazing. Let me give you a piece of advice. I am a member of Arlong's crew. If you dare to touch me, Arlong will not stand idly by."

Hearing Nami's words, the marine chuckled and said, "Little girl, do you think you can negotiate with me on equal terms like this? Find the item for me!"

At his command, the other marines rushed out instantly.

Chapter Nine: The Weeping Orange Tree (Part 2)

Seeing the marines swarming towards her house, Nami quickly drew her weapon. "Stop!"

Nami swung her long staff, knocking down the two leading marines. With Nami's attack, the charging marines halted.

"Is this what the Navy should be doing right now? Arlong and his gang not only killed people, but also destroyed the entire town. You should know that, right? They still control this island and trample on human lives everywhere. And you ignore this huge problem and plunder the property from a petty thief. Is this the government's will?" Nami said forcefully.

"Hmph, enough with the high-sounding platitudes, continue the search." Ignoring Nami's words, the rat-like Marine continued. Hearing this, the Marines resumed their search, heading towards Nami's house.

"The people of the entire island have been waiting for your navy to rescue them for so many years, and you still dare to ignore them and come here to me," Nami said angrily.

Just then, a naval officer who was conducting the search approached and said to Captain Rat, "Captain, we think this orange grove is suspicious."

"Let's dig it up and see." Colonel Rat said with a sinister grin. "Yes, sir." The sailor walked towards the orange grove.

Seeing this, Nami hurriedly chased after him, tackled him to the ground, and shouted, "Don't touch Bellemere's oranges with your dirty hands!" Then she got up and repelled all the other approaching marines.

"I won't give you my money, that money is... that money is..." Nami was extremely nervous and anxious at this moment.

"This child's money is meant to save Cocoyasi Village! Even so, do you still have the right to seize this money? Navy!" Yang Jian finally couldn't hold back any longer and shouted angrily.

He was coerced by these people and forced to join them in taking Nami's money, but thinking of Nami's persistence and the efforts she made to get this money, the coercion could no longer suppress Ken's conscience.

"What? A mere village police officer dares to lecture a colonel?" Colonel Rat looked at Ah Jian and said coldly.

"Ken, how did you know?" Nami looked at Ken and asked softly. In her memory, she hadn't told anyone except her sister about this.

“We already knew, Nami,” Ken said calmly, pulling his hat down to cover his eyes. Nami was instantly stunned.

“At that time, we couldn’t believe your actions. Don’t forget, we were watching you. Of course, we wouldn’t believe you were an accomplice to those people, so we went to question Nokigo. From then on, the whole village knew that you had joined A-Long’s gang to save the village. But we pretended not to know, because we were afraid that if you wanted to escape A-Long, our expectations would become obstacles for you,” A-Jian said, his voice trembling.

"How could this be..." Nami's voice lowered.

"What are you talking about? Are you saying the whole village is a thief, and that's why we should arrest you?" Colonel Rat said in a very irritating way.

"They're saying we're all fighting for survival, isn't it because your government is completely unreliable? If you don't want to help, then hurry up and disappear from here. If you dawdle any longer, you'll be on Arlong's shipyard too." Nojiko's voice suddenly came over, and then her figure appeared behind Colonel Rat.

"By Mr. Arlong? That's hard to say." Colonel Rat glanced at Nojiko behind him and said nonchalantly. Upon hearing this, Nami suddenly froze, and a despairing guess began to emerge in her mind.

"Still haven't found it? This isn't a grain of sand, it's a hundred million Berries!" Captain Rat shouted to the other sailors who were searching.

"How...how do you know the amount?" Ah Jian clenched his fists and asked, hearing Colonel Rat's words. "One hundred million, I think it should be that much," Colonel Rat said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Nami, Nojiko, and Ken instantly realized what was happening. Nami's eyes filled with utter despair; her guess was correct. "Could it be... could it be Arlong who sent you?!" Nami roared in despair.

"Who knows? We were just dealing with the thief as government officials," Colonel Rat said calmly. "You're a bunch of corrupt scoundrels!" Ah Jian roared.

"The Navy is actually colluding with the pirates!" Nojiko couldn't help but shout angrily. "Arlong!" Nami was speechless with emotion at this moment.

"Found him, Colonel!" a navy officer suddenly shouted.

Upon hearing this, Colonel Mouse smiled and walked over, opening the box that had been dug out.

"Wow, this is amazing! That little girl managed to get so much! It looks like it's over a hundred million! But a lot of it is stained with blood and is tattered, but that's okay, money is money!" Colonel Rat exclaimed excitedly.

Holding the money in his hand, Colonel Mouse chuckled to himself, thinking, "Thirty percent of it is mine."
