"Are you doing magic tricks?" Nami couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
She was very clear about this tattoo mark. Ordinary methods couldn't wash it away.
But now, Kai had gently touched it with his hand, and it had disappeared without a trace, which was indeed unexpected.
"Alright, you can be considered to have joined our Fairy Tail now. Next, I still have things to do. We'll meet up again after I'm done." Kai smiled and patted Nami's shoulder.
Hearing these words, Nami was immediately overjoyed.
For her, it saved her a lot of effort to get rid of Kai.
She hurriedly clenched the black gold card in her hand and said urgently, "Then I'll leave first. There's a small boat over there. You can take it to leave."
A small boat?
Kai helplessly rolled his eyes at Nami, who was drawing the board after crossing the bridge. He flicked her smooth forehead and said, "No need. See you next time!"
After dropping these words, lightning arcs were flowing around Kai's body. The next moment, his whole person transformed into a ray of lightning and soared into the sky.
The sudden scene made Nami stunned in place. The black gold card she was clenching in her hand also fell on the deck. Only after seven or eight seconds did she come back to her senses.
After confirming again and again that Kai had completely disappeared, Nami hurriedly picked up the black gold card on the ground and clenched it tightly in her hand.
Thinking that she had worked hard for five or six years and finally collected one hundred million Berries, the excitement in Nami's heart was completely uncontrollable.
She hurriedly aimed at the Log Pose and sailed the ship towards Cocoyasi Village.
At the same time, at the Loguetown dock, three figures gathered here.
The one in the lead was Smoker, who had a gloomy face.
Thinking of everything that had happened just now, it was simply a humiliation for him.
However, right now, according to the Marine's informants, Smoker had also confirmed Kai's whereabouts.
After he left Loguetown, he couldn't help but snort coldly and said, "He's running really fast. It's just that Brother Bastille and you, little girl, have probably been abandoned."
"I see that you, little girl, are also holding a famous sword, and your strength is also not bad. Why don't you join my command? I can recommend you to become a Lieutenant Commander. You can receive a salary of 300,000 Berries a year. This is a pretty good job."
During the process of coming, Smoker had also discovered that Tashigi's physical fitness and agility were pretty good.
Most importantly, she was the first member of Kai's so-called Fairy Tail.
Right now, in terms of force, Smoker couldn't beat Kai. However, if he could use this kind of poaching method to make Kai lose face, it would also be pretty good.
It was just that, just as these words fell, he saw Tashigi holding the Shigure in her hand and shaking her head repeatedly and said, "I, I don't need it. Senior Bastille, why don't we look for Mr. Laxus again?"
"Don't need it?" Smoker's face sank. Watching Tashigi, who had a stubborn face, he said in a deep voice, "Do you think the reward isn't enough? If you're willing to join my command, I can consider letting you increase your reward to 500,000 Berries. Or, how much reward does he give you? I'll give you double in private."
The low words had a sense of urgency.
Watching Smoker, who was planning to defeat Kai in some sense, actually doing this kind of thing, which he usually disdained.
Bastille shook his head helplessly and said, "Brother Smoker, you don't understand. There's no salary for joining Fairy Tail. If you have to say it, it's probably personal charm."
"At least, in my eyes, he possesses a unique personal charm. This is definitely not something ordinary people can compare to."
"Personal charm?" Smoker's expression froze.
Watching Tashigi also nod repeatedly, just as he was about to say something, a sharp sound of breaking through the air came from a distance.
Before they could react, lightning made a detour in the sky and directly bombarded the dock.
"You guys have also arrived?" Kai regained Laxus's original aloof persona. He glanced at Smoker and said, "Time is running out. We should also set off. I found a good navigator just now, but she encountered some trouble."
"Navigator?" Bastille was stunned for a moment and hurriedly said, "Teacher Laxus, I actually know navigation too. Teacher, you don't need to go to the trouble of finding a navigator."
For any Marine who had walked out of the Headquarters training camp,
they would all learn some basic knowledge of navigation. Among them, reading the Log Pose and normal navigation were indispensable methods.
"As someone who roams the sea, he doesn't even know the basics of navigation?" Hearing this, Smoker immediately smelled an opportunity to win back the scene.
However, just as the voice fell, he saw Kai directly ignore him and say to Bastille, "Can you draw nautical charts, listen to the wind to distinguish the weather, and look at the waves to know the vortex, etc.?"
In the original story, Nami was a genius-like navigator. Even Arlong, who was a fish-man and was known as the most familiar with the sea, coveted Nami's navigation skills.
It was precisely for this reason that he used Cocoyasi Village to threaten Nami.
In the later plot, even the legendary Shiki the Golden Lion, after seeing Nami, was amazed by her heavenly navigation skills. Only then did he attack the Straw Hat Pirates and forcibly take Nami away.
"Draw nautical charts, listen to the wind to distinguish the weather?"
Hearing these words, not to mention Bastille, even Smoker and Tashigi were stunned.
At least, in their eyes, knowing these things was undoubtedly a high-end navigator.
Faced with Kai's question, Bastille said with a slightly awkward expression, "It, it seems that the teacher has found a veteran."
"However, to sail on the sea and ensure safety, this veteran is indeed necessary. Although the age is a bit old, the teacher is still considerate. We'll take more care of him on the road. Are we leaving immediately now?"
Watching Bastille, who was suddenly patting his ass clumsily, Kai sighed helplessly and patted his shoulder and said, "Flattery isn't suitable for you. Be careful not to pat the horse's leg."
"By the way, aren't you a Vice Admiral? Get me a warship to use first."
"Warship?" Bastille couldn't help but be stunned. He said with a slightly ashen expression, "Teacher, I temporarily resigned from Admiral Aokiji just now, so I can't requisition a warship right now. Just now, Little Sister Tashigi said that teacher, you don't have more than ten million Berries? Then you can buy a good ship."
"More than ten million Berries?" Kai helplessly rubbed his nose. At this moment, he really thought that he was a bit stupid. He had dug out his entire fortune all at once.
Then he coughed dryly and said, "I just gave it all away. There are a lot of ships here. Let's just rob one."
"Or, let's see who's not long-eyed and let us rob!"
Watching Kai, who was muttering about robbing on his own, Smoker, who was standing behind him, had a face full of black lines.
Even his finger bones were cracking.
Was this treating him, a dignified Marine Captain, as air and ignoring him?
