"Alright, alright, Nami, look, you've done really well!You've even awakened your Observation Haki.It's true that high-pressure environments can make people grow rapidly.With us, you'll become even stronger.Look, even tens of millions of pirates can't defeat you.You don't have to be afraid.To reward you for winning this initial battle, all the treasures on this ship will be yours!" Luffy said as he stroked Nami's orange hair."Don't cry anymore, you've turned from a little thief into a little cat!"
Nami's eyes welled up.Hearing about a victory over a multi-millionaire pirate gave her a boost of confidence.She cried like a kitten and felt a bit angry, but then she grasped the crucial information.Her expression instantly changed, her eyes resembling those of Baileys: "Money!All the money is mine!" Thus, over 100 million Baileys were looted from Buggy the Clown's car.The remaining conscious officials dared not speak out.When Buggy woke from his coma, he saw that his years of savings had vanished, and he fainted again.
Nami thought that with over 100 million Baileys, she could redeem the village.But Nami also knew that it was only with Luffy and Zoro that they were able to earn enough money to redeem the village so quickly.Thinking of this, Nami subconsciously looked at the shameful tattoo on her arm.
The sharp-eyed Zoro immediately noticed Nami's little movement: "Nami, that tattoo seems to be the symbol of a pirate group.Are you a member of another pirate group?"
Nami was startled and immediately pulled down her sleeves, changing the subject: "That's none of your business!"
Luffy said calmly, "Merceman Arlong Pirates.Aren't you going to tell us about your situation?You should trust us in matters like this.We have the ability to help you resolve any problem.Believe me, you need others too.We've been together all these days, spending every day with us.We've built a strong bond, haven't we?"
Nami was stunned for a long time, then looked at everyone again.Finally, she decided to tell the story of her past that she couldn't bear to recall:
"That was eight years ago.A group of hateful fish-man pirates attacked our village.Cocosia Village."
In Nami's painful memories, Luffy and Zoro also understood why Nami needed money so much, and what kind of truth was hidden behind her stealing and greed for money.
A group of fish-man pirates has attacked the village of Cocosia, establishing a brutal regime there.They've declared that as long as they rule, every resident of Cocosia must pay a death penalty to Pele.They've used this method to ravage many villages in the past, and this time seems to be no exception.However, this time, an elderly, frail retired marine named Bell-Mel rises up in resistance.
However, how could a mere old, sick, and disabled retired navy officer possibly change the outcome?Of her two adopted daughters, the one who was good at drawing sea charts was taken away by Arlong, the leader of the Fishman Pirates, and that person was Nami.
Arlong, leader of the Fishman Pirates, tells retired marine Bell-mère that if Nami continues to help them chart the sea, she can guarantee the lives of the villagers.He then offers her an offer she simply can't refuse: if Nami can raise 100 million berries, she can come to Arlong to redeem Cocosia Village.
After listening to this, Zoro wiped the Wado Ichimonji and said calmly: "Captain Luffy, make your decision."
Luffy showed his signature smile, stroked Nami's head and said: "You've worked hard, Nami, you have endured so much by yourself.There will be a stop next, we will go to Cocosia Village, we will end your tragedy."
Nami couldn't help crying again after hearing this.Only she knew that she had endured the villagers' misunderstanding for years, the humiliating tattoo carved on her arm by A-Long, and the constant desire to save up 100 million berries to redeem the village.She had always been on the verge of collapse, but now, there seemed to be hope.
"How about this, Nami, if we help you truly defeat the Arlong Pirates and liberate the village, how about you truly join our adventure group and become our navigator?" Luffy chuckled.
Nami slapped Luffy's hand away and said, "If you can really do it, why not let me join you?"
"Okay, then the trip to Cocosia Village is put on the agenda.Now we have to go to Xibro Village first, get a ship that can cope with extreme weather, and recruit someone to join us!" Luffy straightened his straw hat.
"Sibro Village?Can I find a shipbuilder there?Can I find a ship that meets the requirements?"
"Ah, there's a family in Luo Village in the west who can build boats."
"And who do you want to recruit?" Nami asked.
"One of the world's best—snipers."
