Nami's 'sense' for treasure was no joke.
In less than twenty minutes, she had gone from just setting foot on the island to finding Buggy's treasure room!
Moreover, Nami's entrance was rather special.
"Ah~"
"Is anyone there..."
"Could you... give me some water and food..."
A weak yet alluring voice accompanied her words.
The door to the treasure room was gently pushed open.
Tushan lifted his eyes and immediately saw Nami, who was clearly in disguise.
Nami's hair was in disarray. She wore a plain white crop top, but it looked as if it had been deliberately torn, with one shoulder strap already fallen.
The broken strap dangled at the center of her chest, revealing a tempting expanse of skin.
Below, she wore a short blue leather skirt that was so brief it could drive countless men wild with just a slight movement.
On her left foot was a khaki high heel, while her right foot was bare, seemingly having lost its shoe due to her travels.
Her cute, pinkish-white foot gently touched the ground.
Nami bit her lip lightly, emitting soft, enticing moans.
Every movement exuded temptation.
"This Nami... seems to be trying a seductive strategy," Tushan thought, his nose itching at the sight of the figure that even he found hard to resist.
But he managed to maintain his composure.
"Ahem..."
"However, I'm not just a lowly guard!"
Tushan cleared his throat and finally stood up.
In the shadows, Buggy and his crew were surprised to see another unfamiliar woman enter, but they continued to watch the situation unfold.
Tushan took a few steps forward, a hidden, eager smile on his face.
"Finally, I've been waiting for you."
"Hmm?"
Nami was momentarily stunned, then put on a pitiful expression, speaking softly, "Brother~ what are you talking about?"
"Your sister wandered into this town looking for food, but found no one around..."
"Luckily, I found you here."
"Brother, can you help your poor sister~"
As Nami spoke, her eyes discreetly scanned the dimly lit room.
Despite the poor lighting, Nami's sharp eyes noticed the three motionless figures behind Tushan, and her expression subtly changed.
"Something seems... off here?"
She was pondering this when Tushan approached her.
Suddenly, Nami collapsed weakly to the ground, supporting herself with her arms, gazing at Tushan with a dazed look.
She didn't forget to deliberately push her already impressive chest forward.
Nami believed that no ordinary man could resist such an assault!
But Tushan was no ordinary man.
He was one of the world's strongest men!
Though his experience with women was limited, with Makino's company these past few days, he wasn't that desperate.
Thus, he could resist Nami's allure.
Moreover, Tushan knew what he truly wanted.
Not the facade Nami presented, but to possess her entirely, so she would only show her charm to him!
At that moment, Tushan exhaled lightly, looking down at the performing Nami.
"The infamous 'Pirate Thief' Nami."
"You can't fool my eyes~"
Tushan chuckled.
His words caused Nami's face to change dramatically!
"So, I've been exposed all along?"
"In that case, I won't play with you anymore!"
Nami said, her previous weak demeanor vanishing instantly.
She pushed back with her arms, quickly grabbing a long stick hidden behind the door, and aimed to strike Tushan's head.
Seeing this, Tushan narrowed his eyes but remained still.
Just as the stick was about to hit Tushan, a loud voice suddenly rang out.
"[Chop Chop Clown Knife]!!"
With those words, a shadowy blade swiftly flashed out, slicing Nami's stick into pieces that fell to the ground!
Her attack failed, and her weapon was destroyed in an instant.
Nami's expression turned to terror.
Just as she was about to flee through the door, a fierce lion's roar echoed, and a massive figure pounced, blocking the exit and trapping Nami inside!
"What?!"
Nami was knocked to the ground by the sudden gust, cold sweat dripping from her forehead.
Before she could react, a vicious voice finally spoke.
"So that's it!"
"The infamous 'Pirate Thief' of the East Blue dared to target me, Buggy the Great!!"
"Thanks to Tushan for noticing, or you would have succeeded!"
An arrogant, angry figure finally appeared.
It was Buggy, who had been hiding in the shadows!
The one who had leapt out earlier was Mochi on his lion, Richie.
Buggy and Cabaji stepped forward.
Buggy, furious, stormed past Tushan to stand before Nami, his face livid with rage.
When Tushan exposed Nami's identity, Buggy 'understood.'
Tushan had known Nami intended to steal the treasure!
Though he didn't know why Tushan helped catch the thief, the priority was to deal with this audacious thief!
On the ground, Nami looked up at the menacing face.
Especially when she saw the iconic red nose, her heart sank.
"Clown Buggy..."
"So you were all lying in wait here..."
Nami's face was grim.
Clown Buggy's reputation was far more notorious than hers!
Falling into his hands would surely lead to a terrible fate!
As Buggy pondered how to deal with the audacious thief, a strong hand suddenly rested on his shoulder.
Before he could react, the hand exerted a force like a mountain, casually tossing Buggy against the distant wall!
"Buggy, how dare you be so rude to my people?"
Tushan looked at Buggy, who was embedded in the wall, and spoke coldly.
"Your... people??"
Mochi and Cabaji were stunned by Tushan's sudden move.
But they were more confused.
Nami clearly didn't know Tushan, so how was she his person?!
The two were puzzled.
Nami, on the ground, was even more shocked.
"What is going on..."
The scene of Tushan casually tossing Buggy was too overwhelming for Nami!
The man she saw as a devil, Buggy...
Was thrown like a sandbag?!
What kind of monster was this guy?!
And...
She was his person?
What did that mean?!
