The other Straw Hat crew was confused by Robin's action, but they decided to respect their strategist's order and obediently disembarked.
But two minutes later, seeing Nami and Robin still on board, Lott raised an eyebrow slightly.
"You two aren't leaving?"
Robin smiled, "Lott-sama, I believe you still need locals from this planet as guides on your ship, don't you? Though I'm not particularly talented, I've been to many seas and should be able to help."
Nami beside her quickly added:
"That's right, that's right! And although the group's location function is convenient, you still need a navigator, right? Otherwise, you might encounter natural disasters like tsunamis or storms. That's my specialty!"
As she said this, Nami patted her chest to show confidence.
Seeing Nami's action, Miku pouted discontentedly.
'Feels bigger than mine...'
But leaving aside Robin's reason, Nami's reason almost made even Miku laugh.
'As someone who can destroy planets, do you think I'd be afraid of natural disasters?'
"Waiting to reclaim the ship as soon as I abandon it? Suit yourselves."
How could Lott not see through the two women's little schemes?
But he didn't really care.
He might as well hire two cooks.
After all, Miku's cooking was truly... dark.
The two women, having their thoughts exposed by Lott, felt awkward.
Of course, they didn't think their meager skills could steal the ship from Lott.
They just wanted to be the first to reclaim the Thousand Sunny after Lott got bored, that's all.
After all, what if, without them around, Lott damaged the ship, or, in a fit of displeasure, directly blasted it?
If they were there, they could at least try to persuade him.
"I'm going to take a bath."
Miku eagerly ran into the bathroom.
Her body had been sticky for over ten days, and it was unbearable.
Lott directly lay down on the deck chair that usually belonged to Robin, lazily waving his hand, "Set sail, set sail~"
Nami had no choice but to trot over to the helm and take the helmsman's position.
Robin quietly walked to the ship's rail and gave an 'OK' sign to Zoro and the others below.
At the same time, while Lott had his eyes closed pretending to rest, she quickly sent them a private message via the chat group:
[We'll follow this man for this period. After he gets bored, we'll sail the Thousand Sunny back to meet up with you.]
Zoro: [Okay, we've contacted Luffy's brother Ace. He said he'll come pick us up with Izo on a ship.]
Sanji: [Nami-san, Robin-chan, you must be careful!]
Seeing the words 'gets bored' in Robin's message, Sanji felt something was off.
Did 'gets bored' refer to the Thousand Sunny ship, or something else?
…
On the Thousand Sunny sailing into the sea.
"Um, um... Lott-sama, may I ask where we are going now? You, you are going to duel Boros, right?"
Nami, steering the ship, mustered her courage to ask Lott.
"Huh? That's not urgent. Let's find a place for Miku to play first. Hmm... Let's go to Water 7 first."
Lott stretched lazily.
Originally, Sabaody Archipelago left the deepest impression on Lott, but since it was gone, Water 7 would do.
It was, after all, the largest trade island on the Planet Pirate.
Nami felt like crying inside, could only pray that Lott would get bored quickly and let their Straw Hat crew go.
A few days later, Ace, as a division commander of the Whitebeard Pirates, and Izo led their respective divisions, sailing a ship slightly smaller than the Moby Dick but also with a white whale head, which is a subsidiary ship, to Punk Hazard to meet up with Luffy's group.
"You are... Roger-san!?"
The moment Momonosuke saw Ace, he immediately overlapped Ace's face with Roger's from his memory.
"Huh?"
Ace looked at Momonosuke in surprise, a flicker of disgust first passing through his eyes.
Because he hated hearing that man's name the most, but seeing the other was a child, he didn't take it to heart.
"Little girl, don't mention that man's name in front of me."
Ace snorted.
"I'm a boy!"
Momonosuke said furiously.
"Huh?"
Ace had a confused expression.
He hadn't seen clearly earlier because the other party was being held by Kikunojo.
Now, upon closer inspection, he realized it was indeed a boy.
"N-no, your voice is way too shrill!"
Ace said with an exaggerated expression.
He really couldn't be blamed for mistaking, as the kid's voice was just too damn shrill.
It's even more exaggerated than a woman's.
"Co-could it be... Young Master Momonosuke!?"
Izo was also startled, staring wide-eyed as he looked Momonosuke up and down.
"Have you... entered puberty early?"
"Waaah-"
Mentioning this, Momonosuke couldn't help but burst into tears again.
The shrill voice made Ace's skin crawl.
"Um... I'll explain it to you and Brother Izo after we board the ship."
Kikunojo, holding Momonosuke, replied with a bitter smile.
Although he, as a cross-dresser, didn't have comforting breasts, they were still fine for comforting Momonosuke.
…
Everyone boarded the Moby Dick 2 together.
Sailing towards Whitebeard's territory, Kikunojo explained the whole story to Ace and Izo on the way.
Hearing that Lott had come, Ace, Izo, and the hundreds of division members under them all turned pale with fear.
Fortunately, they were battle-hardened and didn't directly faint or lose control of their bladders.
"This is truly a disaster. Your beloved ship and two crew members were taken, but your crewmate's judgment was correct, Luffy."
Ace turned and said to the still-emo Luffy.
After failing to capture Teach alone, being imprisoned in Impel Down, and being ransomed by Whitebeard-
Ace had calmed down considerably.
He could understand Robin's approach.
And there was no better course of action.
If they were lucky, after Lott was done playing, he'd return the ship, and their crewmate would sail it back.
Everyone wins.
Isn't that better than charging forward and getting wiped out?
In comparison...
Ace glanced at Momonosuke, whose features were becoming more and more androgynous.
He felt this little brat was the truly unlucky one.
In his view, for a guy to lose that thing, wasn't it pretty much the same as being dead?
"By the way, what are your next plans?"
Ace changed the subject.
Zoro replied:
"Kin'emon and the others are going to find reinforcements, hoping to take back Wano from Kaido. We plan to go to the Red Hair Pirates' territory. Luffy and Usopp want to confirm the situation with Shanks and his father, Yasopp."
Sanji added: "Luffy's brother, is that space pirate crew still in Elbaf?"
"Actually, no. According to our intelligence, the World Government approached them two days ago and invited them to Holy Land Mary Geoise."
Ace replied.
"Yosh! That means we don't have to worry about running into those monsters!"
Chopper excitedly waved a hoof.
Ace blinked, feeling Chopper was celebrating too early.
Even if they didn't run into the Dark Matter Pirates, he didn't think anyone from the Red Hair Pirates could have survived Boros.
Ace suddenly remembered Yamato whom he knew and felt he should notify her.
However, just as Ace was sending a private message to Yamato-
Lott also found the name 'Kurozumi Orochi' in the Universe Chat Room's member list.
He sent a private message: [Orochi, do you like femboys?]
…
The Straw Hat Pirates, missing Nami and Robin, headed towards Elbaf aboard the Moby Dick 2 with Ace's help.
Meanwhile, Lott's group returned from the New World to the first half of the Grand Line, [Paradise].
"Lott-sama... if all goes well, we should arrive at Water 7 this afternoon."
Even Robin, who had seen many storms, couldn't help but stammer when speaking to Lott now.
Because just an hour ago, they had reached the Red Line in the New World.
Generally, to return to Paradise from the New World, you needed to coat the ship first.
Then pass through Fish-Man Island at the bottom of the sea, 10,000 meters down, before officially returning.
However, Lott simply grabbed the Thousand Sunny's mast with one hand, used Flight Technique to rise.
He directly lifted the Thousand Sunny tens of thousands of meters into the air, leaped over the Red Line, and then set the ship down again.
That scene was too thrilling!
"Straw Hat Pirates! Hand over all your treasures if you don't want to die!"
Just as Lott was about to respond, a woman's rude threatening voice reached the ears of the four on the Thousand Sunny.
"That symbol is... the flag of the Kuja Pirates, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, [Pirate Empress] Boa Hancock!"
Nami, standing on the lookout platform at the top of the mast, saw clearly the flag on the opposing pirate ship and exclaimed.
Lott slightly raised his eyes, 'Oh~ It's that woman, the biggest simp in Anime World.'
