"You guys..."
Nami saw that she was rejected so quickly. Didn't these men understand how to cherish and respect women?!
Just as she was wondering whether to feign pitifulness to gain sympathy or continue her wicked demeanor to protect her money... "Since even the Idiot Captain has decided to entrust the money to me, I won't be polite."
Link had already made the decision for her.
He directly waved his hand, and the money that Nami considered her life was taken into Link's treasure pouch.
"You..."
Nami watched helplessly as the money disappeared before her eyes. This scene was exactly the same as when she was on Alvida's ship!
"I'll fight you to the death!!!"
After two seconds of stunned silence, Nami suddenly shrieked and pounced on Link.
Her voice was like a cuckoo crying blood and an ape wailing, even more tragic and sorrowful than Buggy's wails when his vital point was injured!
Time to go, time to go~~~
Link, who had long known Nami would erupt, had already planned his escape.
Knowing Nami's temperament well, he quickly escaped the range of her clutches.
You want to catch me? A good man doesn't fight with women, but as for the money... you can forget about getting it back.
At this moment, Link and Nami were debating the control over the Pirate Crew's funds.
Round one, Link was victorious!
After Nami finally calmed down from her frenzy and realized that with her strength, she couldn't catch Link or get the money back from him, she despairingly stopped her actions.
Nami became withdrawn, hugging her shoulders and drawing circles in a corner.
She muttered to herself, seemingly cursing something.
However, this absolutely did not mean she had given up.
Once she found a suitable opportunity, she would definitely get back what she lost today, with interest, from Link!
She swore, she absolutely would!
Link didn't know about this, but even if he did, he would only give a knowing smile and offer a comforting remark:
"Go to bed, you'll have everything in your dreams?"
Thus, the Buggy Pirates incident came to a muddled close.
They traveled for three days, but it took less than thirty minutes to resolve the matter~
Overall, however, the outcome of the matter was not bad, ending successfully.
Not only did the entire Buggy Pirates' treasure fall into their hands.
Their main goal, the Grand Line chart, was also successfully found.
Regarding the chart, only Nami, the Navigator, could understand it among the group, so it naturally ended up in her hands.
Originally, Nami wanted to use the chart as leverage to regain financial control and the treasures.
But Link didn't fall for that. If you want to navigate, navigate; if not, then forget it. We'll part ways early and find a new Navigator.
Knowing that Nami would absolutely not leave easily without the treasure, Link indicated that the initiative was with them. If you want it back, you're a hundred years too early.
Link had Nami completely under his thumb, and Nami truly wanted to pull off a big score from Link.
She couldn't help but smile playfully on the surface, as if joking, but inwardly she gritted her teeth, having metaphorically stabbed Link hundreds of times.
At the same time, she also felt a little deflated, always feeling that this man she met seemed to see right through her and had her completely cornered.
Besides the treasures and the chart, there were also other fresh reserves in the Buggy Pirates' warehouse.
Mostly food and alcohol, irreplaceable drinking water, and some anti-scurvy fruits.
Especially the fresh oranges, which clearly looked like they had just been plundered from Orange Town.
If Link hadn't stopped him, the gleaming-eyed Luffy could have eaten them all himself.
After Link packed all the supplies into his treasure pouch, the four of them finally decided to leave.
On their way out, the four looked at the devastated town, thoroughly destroyed by buggy balls.
Ashes continuously drifted in the sky, and there was still a faint, thick, lingering smell of burning.
This scene, like a hell on earth, made all four of them slightly silent.
"Perhaps I should have gone up and kicked it a couple of times too?"
Luffy thought to himself, arms crossed over his chest, tilting his head.
If even he had such thoughts, there was no need to mention Nami, who originally hated Pirates and gritted her teeth in anger at them.
"It's truly tragic~"
Zoro also looked around, his hands unconsciously resting on the three swords at his waist.
"It must take a lot of money to rebuild, right?"
"Hmm?!"
Upon hearing about money, the anger in Nami's eyes instantly receded, and she looked at Zoro and Link somewhat warily.
"With this level of destruction, repairs and rebuilding would cost at least several million berries."
Link surveyed the area and also commented similarly.
He still remembered that in the original story, after Luffy sent Buggy flying, he split the 10 million berries Nami got from Buggy's base in half.
He left 5 million berries for the town mayor to rebuild the town, which led to Nami grabbing him by the neck and scolding him fiercely.
Well, the first person to sneak money from Nami's hands when she wasn't paying attention was their unreliable Idiot Captain.
