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

"Captain Buggy is a Devil Fruit user; he's doomed if he falls into the sea."

"Hurry and rescue Captain Bucky."

The next second, they followed the direction Bucky flew off and ran away in a flash.

...

"Get rich, get rich."

"With so much treasure, it's worth at least ten million Berries!"

"That Buggy Pirates are really rich!"

"Hehe! I won't stand on ceremony and will accept it!"

Nami muttered excitedly as she quickly packed and bagged the treasure from Buggy's tent.

She was completely unaware that there were two people standing behind her.

Luffy genuinely admires Nami's greed.

He just fired a real "Buki bomb," something so fun, but Nami didn't care at all. Instead, she secretly ran off to pack up the treasure when no one was looking.

"Cough cough..."

Luffy coughed twice, which startled Nami.

But this time she wasn't as flustered as when she first met Luffy. After all, she was now Luffy's crew member, so she said with a smile.

"Hehe! Captain, I'm just collecting loot for us!"

In reality, Nami was thinking...

("All this treasure is mine; I'm just temporarily keeping it with you for safekeeping. I won't leave it to you!")

As soon as Nami finished speaking, she neatly arranged two large bags full of treasure in front of her.

No one knows where she got the strength, but she managed to carry two large bags of treasure on her back with a flick of her wrist.

Then he excitedly said to Luffy.

"Alright, let's set sail, Captain!"

This scene evoked another wave of emotions in Luffy.

Whenever it involves treasure, Nami can unleash boundless power.

"Give me a bag!"

Luffy reached out to take it.

"It's alright, Captain, I can carry it."

As Nami spoke, she couldn't help but feel a sense of感慨 (gǎnkǎi, a complex emotion encompassing both feelings

'I didn't expect this idiot to be such a gentleman!'

But Luffy added another sentence.

“I need this treasure to be useful.”

As he spoke, he took a bag from Nami's back, ignoring her questions.

Nami didn't know what Luffy meant by "useful," but Luffy was, after all, the captain, and she couldn't go against his wishes.

...

After packing all their belongings, the group headed back to the port they had come from.

Luffy and Nami each carried a bag of treasure worth about 500 million Berries, while Uta carried a package of "Buggy Bombs" and two blueprints.

As they reached the port, they saw Zoro sitting on the ground, meditating.

It seems that the battle just now gave him a new level of improvement, and he is now integrating all of these improvements.

Seemingly sensing the commotion nearby, Zoro opened his eyes and stopped meditating.

Stopping halfway through wouldn't mean all the previous efforts were wasted, so he wasn't in a hurry.

"What did you guys just do? I saw all those pirates suddenly run out to sea and leave, taking the two guys I defeated with them too."

Zoro recalled the strange scene he had just witnessed and asked Luffy and the others in confusion.

"I put their captain in the cannon and fired him, and they went to find their captain."

Luffy gave a brief explanation, and then continued.

"Okay, it's time for us to go!"

As soon as Luffy finished speaking, the group boarded the ship one after another.

Suddenly, Nami, who had boarded the ship earlier, noticed that Luffy had "forgotten" his treasure on the shore and immediately reminded him.

"Captain, treasure! You forgot to take the treasure!"

While offering the reminder, Nami couldn't help but mentally complain.

'What an idiot, how could you forget something so important?'

What puzzled her was that even after Luffy heard her reminder, he didn't seem to have any intention of going back to get it.

"Luffy?!"

Nami called out Luffy's name in confusion, her eyes filled with bewilderment.

Then she saw Luffy standing on the deck, looking at the town ahead and saying something.

“This town was severely damaged by Bucky’s gang. Much of the treasure we looted from Bucky also belonged to the town’s residents.”

"Let's leave those 500 million Berries for the residents to use for town renovations!"

...

"Your comprehension is extraordinary, and through personal experience, your spirit has been enhanced."

"Your spirit has been enhanced, and your Conqueror's Haki has been strengthened."

A prompt appeared in Luffy's mind.

At the same time, Nami was stunned by Luffy's words.

She never expected that Luffy, as a pirate, would be willing to give away the treasure that could have been his to these ordinary civilians.

Are these kinds of pirates really pirates?

At that moment, Nami smiled.

For some reason, she was in an exceptionally good mood.

After the boat had traveled some distance, an old man and a dog appeared on the shore.

When they opened the bag and saw it full of treasure, the old man was so moved that he burst into tears, and he vividly remembered the faces he had glimpsed while hiding in a room.

Watching the boats drift away into the distance, the old man knelt down with a thud and kowtowed gratefully in farewell.

...

"Captain, where are we going next?"

Nami gazed at the two figures on the shore from afar across the sea, looking exceptionally happy.

"Well! It's time to get a pirate ship that belongs to us!"

Luffy stroked his chin, deep in thought.

Alvida's ship is too slow, and Luffy is fed up with all the hearts and pink decorations on it. People will think they have some strange fetish for sailing the seas in such a ship.

"I heard that on the nearest island, there's a wealthy family that's in the shipping business. I think I heard it's called Xiluobu Village, right?!"

Zoro recalled the information he had heard from others when he was a pirate hunter.

Upon hearing the familiar name, Luffy immediately smiled.

"Alright! Let's set off for Xiluobu Village!"

...

Chapter Twenty-Five: Recruiting Usopp

Xiluobu Village is located in a remote sea area of ​​the East China Sea.

Due to its geographical location, few people visit this almost deserted island.

So for the residents living on this island, it might seem a little... boring.

And their favorite way to relieve boredom every day is...

"Something terrible has happened! Pirates are attacking!"

"Pirates are coming! Pirates are coming!"

"Everyone, run away!"

At dawn, a boy with wheat-colored skin and a long nose like Pinocchio ran towards the village in a panic, shouting "Pirates are coming!" repeatedly as he stood in the street.

Soon, the villagers opened their doors one after another.

At that moment, the long-nosed boy Usopp suddenly burst into laughter.

"I was just kidding, hahaha!"

Immediately, the villagers were enraged and angrily chased after Usopp with brooms, pots and pans, and other weapons, cursing as they ran.

"You liar, get the hell out of here today."

"Stop right there, you brat."

Usopp ran away laughing, quickly leaving the villagers behind.

Seeing the villagers cursing in anger but returning empty-handed, Usopp felt much better and covered his mouth to chuckle.

"Hehehehe... I fooled everyone again today."

"How wonderful! I did another good deed today, adding a bit of excitement to this boring village."

Just then, Usopp noticed four figures walking towards him from the direction of the coast.

“I’ve never seen this person before; they’re not a villager.”

Usopp immediately recognized these people as outsiders and muttered to himself.

"Are they pirates?"

Usopp carefully observed the four people. One was a stylish and cute girl, another was wearing a straw hat and didn't look like a bad guy, and the third was a beautiful girl with a great figure and a quirky personality. Apart from the one with three knives at her waist and a green haircut that looked a bit scary, the others all seemed like good people!

Usopp quickly came to a conclusion about these people in his mind.

Realizing there was no real danger, he bravely stepped forward.

Approaching the group, Usopp stood with his hands on his hips and spoke with an air of authority.

"Who are you? What are you doing in this village?"

"I am Captain Usopp, a brave warrior specifically responsible for protecting this village, with three thousand men under my command."

"So I advise you not to have any strange ideas about this village, otherwise my three thousand men will not spare you."

In the original work, only Luffy would be fooled by Usopp's low-level lies.

Now, all four of them are looking at Usopp with completely unmoved expressions.

This quickly made Usopp feel uneasy, sweat beaded on his forehead, and his voice began to tremble.

"Hey! You guys... don't you believe me? My three thousand men are lurking all around here!"

As Usopp spoke, the images of three children flashed through his mind.

These are his three thousand men.

At this moment, Luffy spoke up.

"We are pirates."

Upon hearing these words, Usopp felt a chill run down his spine, his expression became extremely tense, and his instinctive thought was to run away.

But Luffy continued speaking.
