Staring at the system prompt in his mind, Luffy sank into thought.
Charm—fine, whatever. There wasn't exactly a reference point for that.
But Affection +10%… he had no idea what that would actually do.
However—
This Master Thief skill?
Now that was insanely powerful.
Wasn't this basically:
"Within ten meters… stealing a woman's underthings is as easy as reaching into your own pocket?"
Monkey D. Luffy completely abandoned the dignity he should've had.
This was an absolutely ridiculous—no, broken—idea.
And of course, not just underthings.
If the opponent was a man, he could steal…
(Everyone, feel free to use your imagination!)
…
Being so close, Nami had no idea Luffy was spacing out.
Right now, with his breath brushing across her face, she suddenly felt dazed.
She didn't know why, but Luffy felt strangely irresistible.
Like he had his own gravitational pull, drawing her toward him.
Maybe it was because he gave her a sense of safety she couldn't even describe?
Well—
With a background like his, of course he radiated pure security.
At this moment, feeling his warm breath,
her heart rippled uncontrollably.
"Nnna~ Luffy~"
After a long pause—
Nami finally spoke, her voice soft and intoxicating enough to drive someone crazy.
"What's wrong?" Luffy asked with a smile.
Nami's gaze was dangerous, her dried tear marks still faintly visible, her lips curved in a deceptively sweet smile.
"You were enjoying yourself, weren't you?"
"Mhm. It felt really good…"
Holding Nami's shapely, curvy figure felt far softer than sleeping on Ace like a pillow.
Compared to brothers, hugging a wife was much better.
Luffy tightened his arms a bit, not sensing any danger from Nami at all.
He said seriously, "After I kill Arlong, I'll hug you whenever I want. I'm just taking a little interest in advance!"
He liked this too much to shy away the moment she glared at him.
Wouldn't that be surrendering his dignity as a man?
Nami gritted her teeth at his shamelessness.
She narrowed her eyes, and her voice dropped dangerously low.
"Until you kill Arlong, it's ten million berries per hug!"
"Huh? That expensive?"
"Expensive? I'm already giving you a discount! And that earlier was my first kiss. How are you planning to compensate me?"
"Hehe… How about I don't?"
Luffy's eyes held a pampering smile, but suddenly he remembered something.
His expression turned serious in an instant.
"From now on, I'm the only one allowed to touch you. Stay away from that balding brat and that long-nosed sniper."
"Huh? What are you talking about? How could I let anyone else touch me?! What do you take me for!?"
Nami's temper flared, and she grabbed him by the collar, glaring daggers.
If this idiot hadn't just stolen her first kiss—
If he hadn't made her heart pound so hard she almost gave in—
She'd have beaten him until he couldn't stand.
"You're a good person. But there are plenty of bad people who'd like to get their hands on you!" Luffy insisted.
He thought for a moment, then added, "Also, no going around in a bra anymore. I can look. Others can't."
He was possessive to the core—
Only he could enjoy the view.
No one else even got a glance.
And he already had plans for those guys who got a bit too close to Nami in the original timeline.
He'd form a huge fleet—
Every male crew member would keep their distance!
Especially Sanji. Either don't recruit him,
or shove him onto his own ship.
Otherwise he'd be making heart eyes at Nami every second, which would drive Luffy insane.
As for that balding samurai child…
Everyone else could be managed.
But he must die!!!
"…."
Nami's face darkened completely.
She yanked Luffy's ear hard.
"Give me the ten million berries first!"
"I'm not giving you anything. I'll be handling the finances from now on!"
Luffy stood firm—
Letting Nami handle money guaranteed he'd never eat meat again.
"You what!?" she snarled.
"I said I'm handling the money! Oh—and I forgot to tell you…"
He paused, then said slowly, "It's not just the money. You're mine too. And your sister, Nojiko, I'm managing her as well."
He continued, perfectly serious:
"I heard from a villager your sister is really smart. I want her to be the strategist on my ship for now."
The villager was fake.
Her intelligence was fabricated.
But Nojiko was a story beauty—bringing her aboard meant another chance to draw from the system!
Since he was going to kill Arlong anyway, both sisters would be moved.
Two birds with one stone—why not?
"What!?"
The little Cat Burglar's eyes went wide like marbles.
She had never seen someone so shameless in her life!
One woman wasn't enough—he had his eyes on her sister too!?
This bastard was unbelievable!
Staring at this insatiable idiot acting so righteous,
Nami finally snapped.
She launched herself at Luffy, lips parted in fury.
"Bastard! I'm going to bite you to death!!"
