Sailing: His comprehension is against the sky, and he comprehends the Eight Gates at the beginning.

"I'm Luffy!"

"The treasure you're stealing now is my spoils of war."

Luffy pointed to the large bag Nami was hiding behind her; just by looking at its size, it was worth at least 500 million Berries.

Chapter Fifteen: Captain Luffy, I'm Nami, nice to meet you.

Upon hearing that Luffy had come for treasure, Nami immediately became hostile towards him.

"This is my treasure!"

"Is that so? Then let's settle this like pirates. Let's have a fight, and whoever wins keeps it."

Luffy said casually.

Instantly, the anger in Nami's eyes vanished, and she transformed into an innocent-looking smile, waving her hand as she spoke.

"Hehe! What kind of fight are you having?"

"We discovered this together, so let's divide this treasure equally!"

Nami's actual thoughts at this moment.

(Nami gritted her teeth in anger, her sharp teeth flashing repeatedly.)

("That damn guy, he ruined my plans.")

(“Who wants to share this treasure with you?”)

(“You actually said you wanted to fight me? You look like you could kill me with one punch. What a joke!”)

("Don't let me run into you again. If I do, I'll steal from you every time.")

Luffy shook his head at Nami's suggestion to split the money equally.

"I am a pirate, and pirates don't share things equally with others."

Upon hearing this, Nami's eyes flashed with disgust.

She hates pirates the most.

But seeing that Luffy seemed to be alone, she wasn't so afraid anymore, and said.

“I said, I discovered this treasure first, so it’s only right that I get a share!”

"If you disagree, I'll yell."

"If you lure those pirates back, you won't get a single penny."

Nami used Alvida's group to intimidate Luffy, secretly pleased that Luffy would be scared and have no choice but to agree to split the spoils with her.

But Luffy said it nonchalantly.

"You mean Alvida? I've already knocked her away, and all her henchmen ran away too."

"..."

The air suddenly became eerily quiet.

Nami seemed to have had time frozen.

Suddenly, as if a time-reset button had been pressed, Nami, who had regained her senses, exclaimed in surprise.

"What did you say?!"

"Alvida is a notorious pirate with a bounty of 500 million Berries, and you're saying you sent her flying?!"

Luffy didn't answer this time; there was no need to repeat a question that had already been answered once.

Nami then noticed that the fighting sounds outside had indeed stopped, and only then did she believe Luffy's words.

She couldn't help but glance at Luffy again; he didn't look that strong (compared to Alvida's size)! How exactly did he knock Alvida away?

But despite her doubts, she still has to face reality.

Nami forced a fake smile, carrying the treasure as she walked towards Luffy, grinning as she spoke.

"Hehe! I was just joking, Mr. Luffy, please don't mind. All this treasure is yours, I don't want a single penny."

After handing the treasure to Luffy, Nami headed towards the door, wanting to make a quick getaway.

To her surprise, just as she was about to pass through the doorway, Luffy reached out a hand and stopped her.

Seeing that she had been stopped by the same guy who had knocked Alvida away, Nami broke out in a cold sweat.

Sure enough, this pirate wasn't planning to let me off so easily.

Nami wept inwardly, realizing that she might really be doomed this time.

'I'm sorry, Nojiko.'

'I'm sorry, Ken-san.'

I'm sorry, everyone.

'I might not be able to buy back Cocoyasi Village and save everyone...'

"Are you Nami the Cat Thief?"

As Nami was writing her last words in her heart, Luffy's voice suddenly interrupted her.

Upon hearing this, Nami immediately stopped crying, looked at Luffy with a puzzled expression, and asked.

"How do you know me?"

Luffy smiled and gave his made-up reason.

"I heard from other pirates about a treasure thief who specializes in stealing pirate treasure. It must be you."

Nami was stunned upon hearing this. Could it be that the pirate crew she had stolen from before had come to this person for revenge?

Just as I was wondering what was going on, Luffy continued.

“I heard from those pirates that you have a great talent for navigation.”

"Therefore, I would like to invite you to join my pirate crew and become my navigator."

Upon hearing that the other party was not there for revenge, Nami's tense body immediately relaxed, and she breathed a sigh of relief.

Her eyes darted around, then she looked Luffy up and down before finally settling on the treasure she had just handed him.

This guy doesn't seem like the particularly cautious type. Pretend to join him first, then steal the treasure when he's not looking.

And since this guy is so strong, he must have collected a lot of treasure; we'll steal it all together later.

Hehehe, this is going to be a huge profit!

Nami chuckled inwardly, glanced at Luffy, and thought to herself.

'What an idiot! He knows I'm a treasure thief, yet he still invited me aboard.'

'Then I, this treasure thief, will teach you a lesson!'

After quickly going through a series of mental processes, Nami pretended to consider it for a moment, then put on an act of reluctance and reluctance before speaking.

"Sigh! I'm so unwilling to accept this!"

"But if I don't agree, you definitely won't let me go!"

"In that case..."

"Captain Luffy, I'm Nami. Nice to meet you!"

Nami extended her fair right hand, her eyes gleaming with an undisguised shrewdness.

Luffy chuckled inwardly; he saw right through Nami's scheme.

However, he didn't expose her, but instead played along with Nami and acted out the scene.

He reached out and shook hands with Nami.

"Luffy!"

...

Chapter Sixteen: Luffy is very strong.

"Captain, are you tired? Do you need me to help you with that?"

As soon as she joined Luffy, Nami "enthusiastically" followed him around, saying she would help him get the treasure.

"Okay!"

Luffy smiled and gave the treasure to Nami, since he was too lazy to take it himself.

Even if it were given to Nami, she wouldn't be able to take it away now.

I left the room and went onto the deck.

Nami then scanned her surroundings.

Looking around, all she could see was Alvida's pirate ship and the luxury cruise ship next to it.

He asked Luffy curiously.

"Huh? Captain, where's our pirate ship?"

Luffy pointed in a direction.

"Where!"

Nami looked in the direction Luffy was pointing and was immediately dumbfounded.

If we compare a luxury cruise ship to a supercar, then Alvida's ship is a motorcycle, and the pirate ship that Luffy mentioned is... the wheels of a bicycle.

Nami stared in disbelief at the pirate ship, which could only hold a maximum of four people and was propelled by hand.

Nami looked at Luffy with an expression that said, "Are you kidding me?", but when she saw Luffy nod in confirmation, Nami was filled with despair.

She had just been thinking that Luffy was so powerful, he must have a lot of treasure.

In retrospect, she was too naive.

"Captain, is our pirate crew just the two of us?"

Nami asked in a tone of utter despair.

"There's another person. I'll take you to find her, and I'll introduce you to her."

As soon as Luffy finished speaking, he flicked his right hand and stretched out to grab the edge of the cruise ship.

"Eh?!!!"

Nami was instantly terrified by what she saw, her eyes rolled back, and she froze in shock.

While she was still in a daze, she felt someone hug her tightly.

Then, he was sent flying.

By the time she realized what was happening, she was already on the deck of the cruise ship.

"you you..."

Nami pointed at Luffy in horror, unable to utter a complete sentence for a long time.

"You've probably heard of Devil Fruits, right? I'm a rubber man who ate the Gum-Gum Fruit."

Luffy explained.

To avoid unnecessary trouble, Luffy will continue to claim that he ate the Gum-Gum Fruit for the time being.

Devil Fruit?

Nami was stunned.

Isn't that just a legend?

Could the legend be true?

At this moment, Uta finished his meal and came out of the cabin.

"Luffy, weren't the pirates dealt with a long time ago? Why have you been gone for so long?"

Although Uta was in the cabin, she had already mastered Observation Haki under Luffy's tutelage.
