Shortly after Gawain left Cocoyasi Vilge, he asked someone to send the materials about the connection between Nezumi and Arlong to the nearby 77th Branch Base.

  The base commander of this branch base is none other than Commodore Pudding Pudding. In the manga, he leads his men to destroy the Arlong pirates because he cannot stand their actions, but he is ultimately killed in battle.

  His character is definitely good.

  Calcuting the time.

  Nezumi's matter should have been reported back to the Marine Headquarters in Marineford by now.

  Gawain is now pnning to join the seven warlords of the sea, so he would like to avoid conflicts with the Marines as much as possible unless necessary.

  If the Marines don't deal with Nezumi, then he will do it before he leaves the East Blue!

  The pirate ship sailed towards Pa Isnd as pnned.

  Along the way, the White Knight Pirate accurately avoided many dangerous ocean currents and strange climates.

  Everyone on the ship's attitude toward Nami has changed from initial doubt to almost blind faith, and this process only took a few days.

  Now, her status in everyone's hearts is almost comparable to that of Gin, and she is the absolute core member of White Knight Pirate.

  After all, a good navigator can almost immediately improve the sailing experience.

  Now, Nami changed into a swimsuit and y on a lounge chair on the deck, enjoying the sunbathing.

  Nami, who was fifteen or sixteen years old, had not yet developed her figure to a shocking degree, but the beginning signs of it were already visible.

  She has a graceful figure and a slender waist.

  Apart from the ft road, Gawain felt that everything was good.

  "Ms. Nami, here's your orange juice."

  The pirate, wearing a chef's hat, handed Nami a gss of juice with a fttering look on his face.

  "Thanks!"

  Nami smiled sweetly, raised her hand to take the orange juice, took a sip, and her eyes lit up: "Delicious."

  But at this moment, a News Coo flew over from a distance, circled around the mast for a while, then slowly nded in front of Nami, threw down a newspaper, and then took the two hundred Belly that Nami took out and flew away.

  Nami opened the newspaper comfortably and looked at the headline on the front page of the newspaper with a smile on her face: "The Arlong Pirates were destroyed, and the base commander of the 16th branch base on the East Blue was arrested..."

  The other stone that was weighing on Nami's heart finally fell to the ground at this moment.

  Cocoyasi Vilge will have a new life.

  Gawain did not hide these things from her, so when Nami recalled Gawain's actions at this moment, she was even more moved.

  She looked down and saw the bounty notices. She couldn't help but show a look of astonishment on her face:

  "This is…"

  "The bounty on Kuro is 33 million Belly while the bounty for Gin is 20 million Belly, and... The bounty for the captain is still 85 million Belly."

  "It's this photo..."

  Looking at the familiar photo on the wanted poster, Nami showed a mischievous smile on her face.

  She called everyone to the deck and id out the three bounties in a row, instantly attracting everyone's attention.

  "Oh."

  "Has my bounty increased as well?"

  A barely perceptible smile appeared on Kuro's lips.

  The bounty that once troubled him has now become proof of his strength.

  "Is even the bounty on this guy, Gin, equal to that of Arlong?"

  "But."

  "For us who want to enter the Grand Line, this is the strength we should have."

  As Kuro muttered to himself, everyone's eyes were focused on Gawain's bounty. Especially when they noticed the constipated expression on the tter's face, they couldn't help but burst into ughter.

  "Hahahahahahaha!"

  "Has the captain's photo been repced by the Marines with the character in the novel?"

  "They even specifically specified that this version was Gawain's true appearance!"

  A pirate pointed at the row of bold red characters on the left side of Gawain's bounty order and ughed until tears came out.

  Nami looked at Gawain, then turned to whisper to Kuro: "The captain is really the one who was the protagonist of that novel?!"

  Kuro nodded repeatedly: "Yes, he's the one who was expelled for having an affair with the princess. However, he never mentioned this before."

  "This... I was wondering why his reaction was so strange st time."

  "Hahahahaha.

  Gawain listened to Nami's bell-like ughter, gnced at the two of them unhappily, and simply turned around and walked into the cabin.

  For a moment, he just felt extremely depressed.

  When he saw the image of Sanji's wanted poster, he just thought it was funny, but now he realizes that the clown is actually him.

  Anyone who sees that photo will know the dark history left by the predecessor…

  You thief!

  You are really not a human being!

  How long do I have to bear this bme for you?

  Thinking of this, Gawain's mouth twitched.

  He turned his head and looked through the porthole, seeing the obvious smiles on everyone's faces; he could only smile bitterly and shook his head.

  Unlike those drinking buddies in the previous life who owed money and pyed tricks behind one's back, these bastards who mercilessly ughed in front of his face are the ones who can be trusted.

  "Really..."

  "How boring! Why can't you get over that crappy novel?!"

  … … …

  Not long after.

  The people on the deck gradually dispersed, and the sky gradually darkened.

  Nami looked up at the clouds in the distance, which were gradually becoming thicker, and her brows furrowed slightly.

  "Is this... A sign of a storm?!"

  In order to confirm her guess, she turned and walked into her own room in the cabin, picked up the telescope, and looked at the sea in the distance.

  The sky is overcast.

  Lightning fshes.

  The sea surface no longer showed any signs of calmness but was rising and falling more and more restlessly, creating waves!

  After confirming this, Nami turned around and walked quickly into the captain's room while saying anxiously: "Captain!"

  "Storm, a very big storm is coming."

  "It will affect the entire sea area. With the structural strength of our ship, I'm afraid it won't be able to withstand it!"

  Gawain nodded, took out the sea chart, and after discussing it with Nami, the two of them frowned even more.

  "No, the scope is rger than I thought!"

  Nami excimed: "It has been a long time since such a strong storm appeared in the East Blue. All our return routes were covered."

  "We must find a harbor or an isnd to hide in. Otherwise, we will be in big trouble."

  Gawain nodded. He had almost 100% trust in Nami's judgment on navigation.

  After searching the sea chart for a while, Gawain pointed to an isnd:

  "Let's go there!"

  Nami gnced at the location Gawain pointed out, thought for a moment, and nodded: "Isnd of Rare Animals?"

  "There is a mountain in the center of the isnd that can block the storm, and it is only a few dozen nautical miles away. This is undoubtedly our best option at the moment."

  Soon, Gawain's order was passed on.

  As the sky in the distance grew darker and the boat beneath their feet began to shake more violently, everyone sped up their movements.

  The ship turned around and sailed to the nearby Isnd of Rare Animals.

  At the same time, on the Isnd of Rare Animals.

  Three figures looked at the boat that was almost broken in the middle, then looked at the storm brewing in the distance and were silent for a moment.

  After a few seconds, Yosaku turned his head to look at Zoro beside him, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching: "I was too stupid to let you lead the way!"
