3: Chapter 3 The most fatal weakness!Thinking of this, Na Mei simply gave up resistance, closed her eyes and waited for death.
At this moment, a strong hand gently stroked her face.
The feeling is indescribably warm and reassuring.
He pinched Na Mei's face casually, and her short orange hair fluttered in the wind.
Na Mei, who was originally panicked and even ready to die, subconsciously opened her eyes.
She stared blankly at the gentle and elegant young man in front of her with her big round eyes.
"Namei, since you've followed me, then.no matter if it's a human or a beast, if they scare you, they're doomed."
As soon as he finished speaking, a terrifying aura suddenly burst out, and the terrifying murderous intent soared into the sky!
"Well--"
Na Mei seemed to be frozen in place, and beads of sweat instantly appeared on her forehead.
Then, under her almost dazed gaze, Luffy raised his arm without even turning his head.
Looking at the slightly extended arm, Na Mei's eyes widened.
Then, she witnessed a scene that she would never forget.
At some point, his arms had grown longer, and he suddenly grabbed the teeth of the hundred-meter-long sea beast.Then, he threw the huge monster into the sky with one hand!
The next second, the figure in front of him flashed by.
In the sky, a dark red lightning struck the sea beast.Its eyes rolled back and it was hit hard on the chin.
It flew backwards for a long distance and hit a cliff in the distance, dying!
Luffy had stood in front of her without her noticing, and supported her.
"I told you, I will always protect you."
Looking at the pale, frightened Nami in front of him, tears streaming down her face, Luffy touched her head and comforted her with a smile: "You are my companion, it is not good to cry all the time."
Seeing how nervous she was, he probably guessed that she might have been frightened by his own arrogance.
He felt a little helpless for a moment.Why was he so timid?
I was originally thinking of teaching Nami a few tricks so that she could deal with the murlocs on her own.
But now it seems that I have to do it myself.
Luffy didn't mean to blame Nami, because Nami was like this at the beginning:
Cunning, timid, and wants to run away when encountering trouble.
But it's okay, she will definitely change after she deals with the fishmen.
"Who, who is crying!I was blinded by the sand!"
Na Mei, who originally thought she was dead this time, breathed a sigh of relief, but she still remained tough.
She looked at this strong young man who was about the same height as her and looked very kind, and she still felt a little bit unbelievable.
Even A-Long can't blow up that sea beast with one punch, right?
There was also that earth-shaking murderous aura, as if just one look could make people kneel down and beg for mercy.
He.is really very powerful!
If he could help, then Kokoyasi Village.
I don't know what she was thinking about, but the look in Nanami's eyes when she looked at Luffy gradually changed.
There was an indescribable light flashing in her eyes.
From Arlitta to hundred-meter-long sea kings, Luffy could easily deal with them with just one punch.
This strength shocked Na Mei so much that she was speechless.
"This guy didn't lie to me, he's really amazing!" Na Mei muttered softly, and began to think in her heart:
"I just don't know if he can beat A-Long."
A spark of hope ignited in her eyes.
She had no idea what kind of person Luffy was, and she wasn't sure if he was a good person.
But she could vaguely sense that he seemed to have some interest in her.If she became his bargaining chip, he would probably really pick a fight with A-Long!
"No!Impossible, what am I thinking."
"Along is no ordinary man.He is a fishman from the Grand Line.Along's pirate group is large in number and powerful.Even if Luffy is powerful, he is fighting alone after all.If he can't defeat Along, wouldn't he be asking for trouble?"
Thinking of this, Na Mei, who had just ignited a glimmer of hope, felt her mood plummet again.
She is kind-hearted and has no intention of using Luffy to fight the dangerous Along.
"What are you thinking about?" Luffy turned around and asked her.
Na Mei forced a smile and shook her head: "Nothing, I didn't think about anything."
"Oh, let's chat for a while."
"What are you talking about?"
"How about just talking about.my childhood?"
Perhaps it was to comfort Na Mei who was crying alone.
Or maybe he wanted to open her closed heart a little.
Luffy and Nami had a very pleasant chat, and from time to time they made the short-haired girl laugh out loud.
Looking at her playful and cute smiling face, Luffy felt a lot of emotions in his heart, and his murderous intent became stronger.
That A-Long, we can't let him die so easily!
"We're here!"
More than an hour is nothing in the vast ocean.
At least, both Nami and Luffy felt that they didn't stay on the boat for long.
The two chatted happily along the way, and it felt like just the blink of an eye.
"Huh?Are we here already?"
Luffy, who was sitting cross-legged at the bow, looked surprised.
"I thought it would take a while to get here."
Na Mei looked up at the sun in the sky and couldn't help muttering, "It's been over an hour."
"Now that we're here, let's get ashore!"
After saying that, Luffy swung out his arm with a "whoosh".
His arms instantly became very long and he grabbed the rocks on the shore.
NextA ray of light flashed by, and with Na Mei's scream, the people and the boat were thrown over with a "whoosh".
After landing, Nanami stomped her feet in anger and punched Luffy on the head.
Although she didn't have any armed Seba Chi, she still made Luffy scream in pain.
When he watched cartoons before, he wondered if Na Mei was "a tiger on the shore and a king on the boat"?
Why are her hands so cruel?They hurt even more than Kapu's Iron Fist of Love!
"It's really lively~"
After defeating Luffy, Nana was attracted by the prosperous city in front of her.
Then he glanced at Luffy beside him casually, with a gleam in his eyes.
Come to think of it, she had never seen Luffy give his all.
This mysterious man is really hard to guess.
My grandfather is a hero of the Hi Army, but I want to be a pirate.
Oh, I really don't know what's going on in his mind all day.
"Look over there, I guess that's the XX Hi Army base."
After a while, Na Mei pointed to a place not far away and said.
There is a very spacious base over there, surrounded by an iron fence, and the seagull flag flying on the top is very eye-catching.
"Are you ready?Let's go!"
Luffy adjusted his straw hat energetically, which was one of his signature items.
Then he swung his hand violently, his arm swung out dozens of meters, and grabbed the house over there: "Elephant glue, elephant glue!"
Na Mei's eyelids jumped suddenly, her heart skipped a beat, and she subconsciously wanted to hide.
But she was still a step too slow, and an arm had already wrapped around her slender waist.
With a "whoosh", he was taken flying out!
"Bazooka!" Luffy exerted force with his arms and kicked with his legs.Before Nana could figure out what was going on, he took her away.
With a "bang", Luffy put Nami down steadily.
"You bastard!You want to kill me?"
Na Mei struggled to stand up, her face pale.
She kicked Luffy's butt angrily, but Luffy seemed to feel nothing.He picked his nose and looked indifferent.
"If you dare to hug me and run around without my consent again, I will.I will."
Na Mei wiped the cold sweat from her forehead and continued to complain.
She could only be thankful that she climbed onto his shoulders at the last moment, otherwise she would have been blasted away by him as a "battle launcher".
But then again, this guy's embrace is pretty warm.
Her face turned slightly red, and for a moment she was reluctant to leave.
Staring at Luffy's rather handsome profile, Nami was a little distracted, and suddenly asked for no apparent reason:
"Why would someone like you choose to be a pirate?"
"Your grandfather is General Kapu Zhong.Logically, you should be a member of the Hi Army, right?"
After chatting for a few minutes on the boat, she basically believed what Luffy said.
But she still couldn't understand why a man with such ability and powerful background would take a thief with him and drive a broken ship to become a pirate?
"Well, this question."
Luffy looked at Nami in surprise, who didn't leave his arms but instead raised her head and asked him.
But he still showed his signature smile and said:
"Actually, if I were to join the Hi Army, I would definitely have a lot of subordinates, and it would be easy for me to get a high position.
But I just don't like that kind of dull life.I like adventure, and I hate the Tianlong people the most, and the atmosphere in the Hi Army makes me sick."
He didn't care about Nami's horrified look at all, and said casually: "Of course, being a pirate doesn't mean I like to do whatever I want."
"What I want is the One Piece that all pirates dream of.I prefer the process of finding it rather than getting it."
Nami asked, "So, you're just a good pirate who loves adventure, right?"
Luffy thought for a moment and replied:
"No, no, no, you may have misunderstood.If anyone irritates me during this adventure, I won't show mercy!"
Na Mei: (shocked) What?
"Killing someone if you don't like them, doesn't that still mean you love killing people?"
Looking at Luffy who looked indifferent in front of her, Nanami was so shocked that she couldn't say a word and her eyes almost popped out.
"I'm a pirate, so of course I have to kill those I don't like, but I don't enjoy the process of doing it."
Luffy looked at Nami, who was full of astonishment, smiled and said nothing more.
In the past, when Luffy encountered an enemy, he would just chase them away.
But things are different now.As a "real" pirate, how can I let the enemy live?
You have to know how to make the final move!
Besides, since he has traveled here, this is his "real world"!
How could he have the right to let his enemy go and put those around him in danger?
You know, pirates are not easy to deal with.What if those people he let go attack the people he cares about in Windmill Village one day?
Even if Kapu is there, can he watch over it 24 hours a day?
Moreover, as far as he knew, Zefa, who adhered to righteousness and "never killed" in his life, was eventually avenged by those desperate pirates, and his entire family was wiped out!
No matter how strong Monchi D.Luffy's background is, can he compare to the former Hi Army general Zephyr?
Therefore, in the world of pirates, being soft-hearted is the most fatal weakness!
What is "no harm to family members"?In the eyes of those crazy pirates, it is simply a huge joke!
If you don't take revenge, what kind of pirate are you?
Cutting the grass and eradicating its roots is the true meaning of pirates!
"You always say I love killing people."
Luffy stared straight into her eyes that seemed to be able to speak, and said meaningfully: "Then I will give you a chance to deal with Along with your own hands.Do you dare to do it?"
Just point out A-Long's name directly!
"Along?"
Hearing this, Na Mei's eyes widened suddenly, and her face turned as pale as paper in an instant.
She looked at Luffy in front of her in disbelief, cold sweat oozing from her forehead.
Goose bumps appeared on his arms, and he looked panicked: "How.how do you know Ah Long?"
She never thought that this guy actually knew her enemy!
Obviously, he knew her identity from the beginning and had been teasing her all along!
"I've heard that Keke Yaxi Village has been occupied by humans.As for you, little thief Na Mei, I've already figured out your background."
Luffy let her go and said calmly, "In the year 1504 of the Kaien calendar, you were born in the Oyinkot Kingdom of the East China Sea, and were later picked up by Beiermeier and brought to Kokoa West Village.
"In 1514, the Along Pirates captured your village, and your adopted mother, Beiermeier, was murdered.You were ten years old at the time.Because you had a talent for drawing, Along threatened you with the lives of the villagers, forcing you to join the Along Pirates in humiliation.You harbored all your hatred in your heart.Now I ask you, if this enemy knelt before you, would you be able to kill him?"
Na Mei was shaking all over like a sieve.
She collapsed on the ground with her head down, not even noticing that she had bitten her lip.
Tears kept falling down, and Na Mei remained silent.
"Besides, you're stealing everywhere to raise funds for A-Long, right?"
Luffy noticed that Nami turned her head away, so she asked softly, "You want to use 100 million Baili to make a deal with Along to redeem Kokoa Nishimura, right?"
As soon as these words came out, Na Mei's face froze instantly.
She didn't look back, but her body didn't move, as if she had accepted everything.
Only she and the people from the Elong Pirate Group knew about this.
How did Luffy find out?
As if seeing through Nami's inner panic, Luffy explained before she could speak: "Don't get me wrong, before I went out to sea, I saved a man who was thrown into the sea by Along.He was a good swimmer and drifted for a long time.He was from your Kokoa West Village."
Having said that, he looked at the trembling Na Mei and took a deep breath.
"In fact, everyone in your village knows about the agreement between you and A-Long."
"The villagers all know it…"
how so...
Looking at the stunned Na Mei, he continued:
"But you don't really think those fishmen will keep their promise and behave properly with a weak girl, do you?"
"In their eyes, you are indispensable talent, so there is no reason for them to give up control of your hometown."
