In the world of One Piece, East Blue — Baratie, the floating restaurant.
"I'm sorry, I need to step out for a moment."
Nami forced back the tears welling in her eyes and quietly walked out of Baratie alone.
She had no idea about the part of the plot Su Xiaoqi had mentioned in the chat group. She had only just finished catching up with the Alabasta arc today. She didn't even get a chance to explain anything before Su Xiaoqi started ranting in the group like a machine gun, going off non-stop, and even called her brain-dead.
There was no way she could ever forgive Arlong and his crew. If anything, she wished she could personally kill every single one of those monsters who murdered her mother and tormented her village.
Despite her heart's insistence on justifying herself, Nami knew deep down that Su Xiaoqi was right. Her original counterpart had done something as brainless as that, exactly as he described.
At that moment, Kaya's voice rang out behind her. "Nami, what's wrong? Are you worried about your village?"
Nami quickly wiped the tears from her face, forced a smile, turned around and said, "Kaya, I'm heading back to my village shortly. Please wait until after Luffy defeats Krieg before telling the others about me."
"There are some things I can't tell you right now, but please trust me—everything I'm doing is for their sake. They're still too weak and need to experience more trials to grow. So I'm counting on you."
Kaya smiled gently. "I trust you. You warned me in advance about Kuro's plot and brought me aboard. I may not be able to help you with matters concerning your village, but I'll support you in spirit."
"But please be careful. I've heard the Arlong Pirates are the most dangerous crew in all of East Blue. Don't try to take them on alone."
Nami's mind suddenly flashed with the faces of a few people. She smiled and replied, "Don't worry, I'll be fine. This time, I'll completely liberate my homeland. I won't leave a single threat behind."
"The sea breeze here is strong, and your body hasn't fully recovered. You should head back inside. Once we get to the Grand Line, we can cure your illness completely, and you'll get to study the best medical techniques."
Kaya nodded. "Then let's meet again in your village. Stay safe."
After watching Kaya leave, Nami's smile immediately vanished. She bit her lip and muttered to herself, "Su Xiaoqi... I'll remember what you said today. You better pray I never get any dirt on you, or else... hmph."
[Nami: @Su Xiaoqi, I've made up my mind. Tomorrow, I'm going to kill every last member of the Arlong Pirates. So... can I count on your help, everyone?]
[Lu Linglong: Of course we'll help.]
[Zhu Zhuqing: I'll be there for sure.]
[Sakata Gintoki: Say no more—Gin-san's gonna go on a rampage tomorrow. Just sit back and admire my glorious figure in action!]
[Su Xiaoqi: Glad you figured it out. I may have spoken harshly earlier, but it was for your own good.]¹
[Nami: I know. You're the best, Xiaoqi. I'll repay you properly tomorrow.]
[Zhu Zhuqing: ???]
[Sakata Gintoki: Wait a second, Nami-chan, aren't you confused? He was just yelling at you.]
[Nami: Was he? I didn't notice anything like that.]
[Lu Linglong: ???]
[Sakata Gintoki: Zhuqing-chan, emergency alert! Your Su Xiaoqi is about to be stolen! Gin-san's giving you a rope—quick, tie him to your waist!]
[Su Xiaoqi: Shut it already. @Nami, whatever you're scheming, save it. I'm not Luffy.]
[Nami: What are you talking about? I don't get it. Oh, by the way, I'm all alone tonight. Want to video chat with me?]
[Sakata Gintoki: YES! Gin-san will scrub himself squeaky clean, lie in bed, and video chat with you till dawn!]
[Nami: You want to video chat? Sure. Ten thousand points per minute.]
[Sakata Gintoki: Is that for the no-clothes version?]¹
[Nami: Get lost. You're banned from tomorrow's mission.]
[Sakata Gintoki: Dame da! Gin-san was just possessed by Shinbajii, Kagurajii, and Sadaharu all at once!]
[Su Xiaoqi: Might as well say you turned into Katsura. Hahaha!]
[Sakuragi Hanamichi: Bro, what should I do? I can fight, sure, but I have no idea how to kill someone. And I don't think I can beat those guys either.]
[Su Xiaoqi: Don't worry, big bro's got your back. You just tag along and cheer me on with a few "666"s, and I'll handle the rest.]
[Sakuragi Hanamichi: Okay, Bro! Thanks, Bro! 666, Bro!]
[Lu Linglong: @Su Xiaoqi, I'm curious—why are you so nice to Sakuragi?]
[Su Xiaoqi: Ah, you'll understand once you watch Slam Dunk. Sakuragi's super entertaining.]
[Sakuragi Hanamichi: Bro, even if you praise me that much, the one I love most will always be Haruko.]
[Su Xiaoqi: Sakuragi, you should stop hanging out with that white-haired guy. He's a bad influence.]
[Sakata Gintoki: Bastard! If you've got something to say, say it to Gin-san's face—don't beat around the bush!]¹
[Su Xiaoqi: I'm heading to dinner with Zhuqing now. No time to waste on you. Bye everyone~]
[Sakata Gintoki: Kuso! Big deal. Gin-san's having a super deluxe parfait feast with adorable Kagura-chan tonight. Hmph!]
Su Xiaoqi looked at Gintoki's message and chuckled while shaking his head. He was starting to really look forward to meeting up with the others in the chat group tomorrow.
"Zhuqing, you should speak up more in the group. Everyone's pretty fun."
Zhu Zhuqing rolled her eyes at him and replied, "What am I supposed to say? Should I join you in flaunting our relationship? Or should I just roast you every time you and the white-haired idiot start flirting?"
"Uh..." Su Xiaoqi's smile froze on his face. Did she really have to kill the mood like that?
Knock knock knock.Just then, there was a knock at the door, followed by Ning Rongrong's voice from outside. "Su Xiaoqi, Zhuqing—are you done yet? It's time for dinner!"
"That Ning Rongrong never learns," Su Xiaoqi muttered, annoyed. He looked at Zhu Zhuqing and said, "Let's go before that brat starts yelling nonsense out there."
On their way to the restaurant, Ning Rongrong handed the letter she had written to the owner of a shop run by the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan in Soto City, instructing them to ensure it was delivered safely to her father.
After dinner, the three of them made their way to the Shrek Academy training field. Su Xiaoqi was fairly certain that, just like in the original story, Flender would soon announce that they were heading to the Great Spirit Arena.
Sure enough, when Flender arrived, he made a brief speech before instructing everyone to follow him—marking the group's first real lesson since joining the academy.
Tang San, Xiao Wu, Dai Mubai, and Ma Hongjun walked closely behind Flender, while Su Xiaoqi, Zhuqing, and Rongrong brought up the rear, jogging at a more relaxed pace.
Upon realizing they were heading into Soto City, Ning Rongrong scowled. "That geezer is the worst! He knows we live in Soto City, yet still makes us go the long way."
When they arrived at the entrance of the Great Spirit Arena, Su Xiaoqi smirked coldly to himself. He was already planning how to milk a good wave of rewards out of Flender tonight.
