One Piece: I will become stronger by checking in

Kai arrived at the pile of treasures.

The treasures were neatly stacked, as if someone had carefully organized them.

Suddenly, a shadowy figure appeared behind Kai .

The shadow swung a stick at Kai's neck with a whooshing sound, causing the figure to shudder with the missed strike.

"Where did the person go?" the shadow mumbled.

"Miss, it's not polite to sneak up on someone!"

The sudden voice startled the shadowy figure.

She quickly turned around, taking a few steps back, revealing herself as she did.

Orange hair, blue and white clothes, yellow shorts.

None other than Nami.

At this moment, Nami was staring at Kai , who had a faint smile on his face, and a bead of cold sweat trickled down her forehead. Fear began to rise in her heart.

She hadn't seen how Kai had vanished and reappeared.

Thoughts raced through her mind.

"It's over. I just attacked him. What if he decides to kill me?"

"If he does attack, I won't be able to defend myself at all!"

"What should I do, what should I do!!"

"Wait a minute, I've got it!"

A look of pity appeared on Nami's face as she spoke to Kai :

"I didn't mean to attack you. I thought you were one of the Marines!"

"You know, I'm just a girl and I don't have the strength to take on anyone."

"If I fell into the hands of those Marines, I'd be done for, so I acted on impulse."

"Can you forgive me?"

Her words were a genuine reflection of her feelings, but Kai didn't speak, still smiling faintly. He thought:

"It's fine if you lie to Luffy, but lying to me might not end well!"

However, since Nami enjoyed acting, it seemed he could play along. So, Kai pretended to be sinister and said:

"How do you know I'm not a Marine here?"

"Jie Jie Jie!"

Nami was momentarily speechless.

Should she say she came in to steal—no, to take the treasure—but hadn't seen him before?

Um...

That reason didn't seem to work!

As Nami pondered how to come up with a good excuse, Kai interrupted her thoughts.

"Okay, let's not dwell on this."

"I'm a generous person, so let's forget about your sneak attack."

"Now, let's get to the point!"

"If I'm not mistaken, you're here to steal the treasure, right?"

"You too?" Nami asked curiously.

"No!"

"Then what are you here for?"

"I'm here to get saved!"

"Huh??? What do you mean?" Nami was confused.

"I need these treasures to help me, do you understand?"

...

"So, we're kindred spirits?" Nami held back her words for a long time.

This was the first time she'd heard someone talk about stealing in such a refreshing and refined manner.

Learned something new!

From now on, she'd often seek help like this!

"You're right!" Kai said calmly.

"So..."

"I want the treasure here. Do you have any objections?"

"What??" Nami's face fell.

She had just worked hard to move and sort these treasures, and now an unexpected guest showed up to take them.

But... what could she do?

o(╥_╥)o!

She had to rescue her friends, so she forced a smile.

"No... no objection!"

Seeing Nami's expression, Kai knew that decision must have been hard for her.

It seemed she had no choice but to agree.

"Actually, it's not impossible to give these treasures to you!" Kai said with a faint smile.

o_o….

(☆▽☆)!

"Really... really?" An excited smile spread across Nami's face.

She thought she'd missed out on these treasures, but now she had a chance to claim them.

"Then... how can you give them to me?"

"Simple. I just need you to agree to one condition!"

"Condition?" Nami was puzzled. Seeing Kai's half-smiling face, she immediately crossed her arms and shouted angrily:

"Forget it. That's impossible!"

Kai :???

I haven't even said anything yet?

Seeing Nami's reaction, he realized what she was thinking. Several sweat drops appeared on his forehead.

"I'm not interested in that, okay?"

To be honest, Nami was really not his type at this age.

Her figure was far from what it would be in two years. If it were two years later, maybe he'd consider it.

Two years later, Nami's figure would be in great shape and her mind much broader.

"Huh~ That's good!" Nami said with a sigh of relief.

"Although you're quite handsome, I'm not that easy!"

"Stop, stop, stop!"

"If you keep saying this, I might not give it to you after all!"

Nami, about to say more, quickly closed her mouth and made a gesture to zip it.

"Listen, the condition I need you to agree to is..."

"Promise me a condition!"

Nami:???

Are you playing tongue twisters now?

Perhaps Kai realized he was being ambiguous, so he continued:

"What I mean is that you agree to a condition, but I haven't decided what it is yet. I'll let you know when I do."

"Of course, it will be within your capability!"

"How about it?"

"Um?"

(☆▽☆)!

"Okay, okay!"

Nami nodded enthusiastically.

This was practically a blank check!

Later?

Who knows if you'll ever meet me again!

Thinking this, Nami felt happy.

After all the twists and turns, the treasure would finally be hers!

Though it was a bit complicated, in the end, no price had to be paid.

Seeing Nami's delighted expression, Kai knew what she was probably thinking.

A slight smile appeared on his lips.

"Nami, you can't escape!"

"Okay, I'll leave first. Feel free to do as you please!"

With that, Kai's figure vanished instantly.

Nami, left alone, felt her heart skip a beat.

There was nothing left to see, and no one around.

She suddenly regretted agreeing so quickly. What if she encountered him again in the future?

Forget it, forget it. Just don't let me run into him again!

Once she collected 100 million and gave it to Arlong, she'd stay in Cocoyashi Village and not leave.

If she stayed put, she doubted he'd find her in Cocoyashi Village.

With that thought, Nami turned back to the treasures.

Her eyes transformed into Berry symbols.

Time to make a lot of money!!!
