Nico Robin explained with amusement, which finally brought Nami, who was covered in cold sweat, back to her senses. She gave a dry laugh.
Fortunately, she hadn't done anything suicidal, her main job was done well, and she had never had any bad intentions toward the Umbrella Corporation's funds. Otherwise, it would probably be too late to resign now...
Well, it's no problem for an ordinary employee to resign from the Umbrella Corporation, but if someone who signed a contract dares to run away, leaks Umbrella Corporation secrets, or harms the interests of the Umbrella Corporation, that kind of employee usually dies a miserable death!
Did she really think the Umbrella Corporation was a conscientious company? Even if it wasn't as insane as the original Umbrella Corporation, the One Piece World version of Andrella was definitely no gentleman!
Stella smiled and exchanged a glance with Nico Robin. Both women were equally deep and scheming; silently and effortlessly, they had completed the work of putting Nami in her place. Although Nami was considered clever and alert, she was still far behind these two when it came to depth of character.
Even in terms of depth of character alone, the current Nami might be slightly inferior to the original... In the original, she stayed in the Arlong Pirate Crew for nearly eight years, but now, she had actually only stayed in the Arlong Pirate Crew for about three years.
Nami's experiences had changed, which was also the butterfly effect caused by Vegapunk. When Vegapunk was secretly establishing the Umbrella Corporation, he used the Four Blues, especially the East Blue, as his foundation.
Because Garp, this max-level player, often came over to block the low-level players, the East Blue was truly peaceful and calm. Any pirate who dared to stand out was basically crushed to death.
Not to mention pirates, even among the forces of these countries, there wasn't a single strong person who could use Haki, which shows how peaceful the East Blue was. Because of this, the Umbrella Corporation had invested quite a bit of effort here.
Among them, the Arlong Pirate Crew was the chicken killed to frighten the monkeys during the development of the Umbrella Corporation because they were jumping around too aggressively. At that time, because Nami was smart and alert, and hated the Arlong Pirate Crew, she played a significant role in the downfall of the Arlong Pirate Crew, and was spotted and absorbed by the Umbrella Corporation.
Nami lived up to the talent of the original female lead. Whether in finance or in her understanding of ocean currents, she played an important role in the entire East Blue branch of the Umbrella Corporation. She quickly rose through the ranks and became an important supervisor of the branch.
Because she was beautiful and knew how to handle things, and had a sweet mouth, Nami soon connected with Stella, the behind-the-scenes boss who had lesbian tendencies. This time, Stella brought her here to pay respects to Vegapunk.
Of course, the warning along the way was also indispensable, so as not to let this little thief cat get too arrogant and actually do something audacious. Nico Robin lived up to her title as the Child of the Devil, and tacitly completed this work with Stella.
Bringing the emotionally volatile Nami along, Stella finally arrived at the innermost layer of the villa.
Pushing open the door, the first thing Nami saw were two beautiful maids with light green hair, looking like sisters, standing on the left and right of the sofa. Their already exquisite appearance, combined with their gentle and submissive expressions, gave even Nami, who was very confident in her own appearance, a sense of pity.
This big boss of the Umbrella Corporation seemed a bit lecherous...
Nami thought to herself. Since she had entered this place, it seemed like she had only seen great beauties; both their temperament and appearance were top-tier. She didn't know where this boss collected them from.
Nami didn't really care much about her boss being lecherous. Well, judging by her moral standards in the original, where she charged 100,000 Berries for a look while taking a bath, it's hard to say how low her bottom line could be...
As long as she wasn't forced, using her beauty a little was something that came naturally to Nami, and it was actually a bit beneficial to her.
While thinking, Nami's gaze also fell on the man and woman sitting on the sofa, and then her breathing slightly hitched.
"So beautiful... so handsome!"
On the sofa, a great beauty with a stunning appearance and a cold, arrogant temperament was lying lazily on the handsome blond young man, her whole body seeming boneless, two huge soft mounds squeezed into an alluring curve.
The blond young man was half-squinting, fiddling with something like a laptop. After hearing Nami's voice, he looked up. His gaze toward Nami was quite strange, making Nami feel that the other party wasn't looking at a beauty, but rather as if he were looking at a curiosity.
"You are Nami, the person in charge of the East Blue branch of the Umbrella Corporation, right!"
"Uh, yes, yes, that's me!"
Nodding, Vegapunk felt a bit strange. This was the first time he had felt the power of the butterfly effect. The others were the result of Vegapunk taking the initiative, but he hadn't done anything regarding Nami. As a result, the original little thief cat had now become a supervisor of the Umbrella Corporation branch.
Well, of course, she didn't seem to have given up her little thief cat job; it had just become a side hustle.
As for Nami, she was also a bit nervous, mainly because she hadn't expected her biggest boss to be such a young, handsome man.
"Let me check your resume... Introduced by Stella, are you prepared to join our core layer?"
Although it felt a bit strange, Vegapunk obviously didn't intend to push Nami away directly. Given Nami's current situation, even if he let her go to the Straw Hat's Pirate Crew, she probably wouldn't be willing, right?
As for whether Luffy would be wiped out immediately after entering the Grand Line without Nami as his navigator? Well, what did that have to do with Vegapunk?
"Yeah, big boss, give me a chance!"
Nami wore a smile like a lucky cat, speaking flatteringly to Vegapunk.
"There is an opportunity... I'm just afraid you don't have enough guts."
Vegapunk tilted his head, speaking with implication.
"Rest assured, my guts have always been big enough!"
Nami patted her chest, and amidst a wave of motion, said with a firm expression.
Although the Umbrella Corporation certainly couldn't be considered a completely legitimate company, in the context of the whole world, it was already a company with quite a bottom line.
In Nami's thinking, it was at most just some gray businesses, such as smuggling, arms trading, mercenary businesses, and the like.
These things were certainly not legal, but compared to slavery, certain prohibited narcotics, and organ trafficking, it was already much better!
"Very good, the company needs employees like you who are young, energetic, and have drive!"
Vegapunk nodded in approval, casually picked up a wristwatch from the table, and handed it to Nami: "Put on this wristwatch, and you will be a core member of our Umbrella Corporation!"
Nami blinked, picked up the wristwatch, and put it on her hand. Then she felt a slight pain in her wrist, as if a needle had extended from the wristwatch and pricked her wrist.
Then, a large amount of electronic information was transmitted from the wristwatch, entering directly into her brain. After a dizzying spell, Nami looked at Vegapunk with a stunned expression.
Good news: The core layer of the Umbrella Corporation does not need to manage those gray businesses, and it has nothing to do with those black businesses.
Bad news: The ultimate goal of the Umbrella Corporation is to overthrow the World Government and rule the entire world!
"B-boss! Is there still a chance for me to go back and be the person in charge of the East Blue?"
Seeing Nami's miserable expression, Vegapunk shrugged: "Of course there is a chance, don't worry! We won't force anyone!"
"Really!"
"Really, at most it will just be necessary to erase your current memories."
"Erase memories? Not kill me to silence me?"
"How could that be? Even though it's very easy to turn people into idiots when we erase memories, we still wouldn't do something like killing to silence someone!"
Nami's face collapsed; becoming an idiot wasn't much better than being killed to be silenced!
She had really boarded a pirate ship this time... Well, she should send the 300 million Berries she had saved back to Cocoyasi Village. At least she could make some contribution to her Village before she died, which would also allow Nojiko to live a little better...
As for betraying them or anything, not to mention that Nami still had some moral bottom line, the Umbrella Corporation had also done her a great favor, so she couldn't do such a thing.
Not to mention, the information transmitted by the bracelet had already indicated that it contained a special confidentiality program.
Although Nami didn't know if that confidentiality program meant the bracelet had a bomb inside, or if it had some electronic pulse, or how the program determined whether she had leaked secrets, she didn't want to try anything suicidal anyway.
