"Boss! Are you here to save me? Then please!!"

"Hey, that girl ran away!!"

"Don't chase me, the boss is with me! This time it will save a lot of trouble..."

Luffy:"???"

Saying that, one of the pirates punched Luffy, and Luffy reached out and grabbed his wrist, his heartless appearance immediately became more murderous: "Since you attacked, are you also prepared to die?"

"You...you...you, what do you want?! I'm Lord Buggy's subordinate!!" Seeing this idiot-looking brat dare to block him, the pirate was very angry!

In addition to being angry, he was also a little surprised and frightened.

No matter how hard he struggled, he couldn't break free from the brat's hand in front of him.

"I don't know who Buggy is, but since you guys attacked me as soon as I came here, you probably aren't a good person?"

There is also no need to use the rubber fruit ability.

Luffy just used ordinary fists, legs, and palms to overthrow the three pirates.

At this time, Nami had already returned to the nearby roof, puffed up her palms and said, "Woah! That's amazing, you are amazing. You can subdue people who use weapons with bare hands."

"Who are you?"

"My name is Nami, and I'm a pirate thief. Shall we cooperate?"

"Pirate thief?"

"That's right, I am a thief who specializes in stealing pirate property. If you cooperate with me, you will definitely not suffer!"

"No. I'm not interested in working with you."

"Hey, wait a minute!"

Even though Luffy has expressed his wishes, Nami still lingers on Luffy. After a while, Nami took Luffy to a private house.

"Oh? Lost from your companions at sea? How many people are there?"

"One. Is this your home?"

"No, I'm a wandering pirate thief. This is someone else's house. Everyone in this town has gone to the suburbs to escape from Buggy's gang in the bar."

"Is that scary? That pirate named Nami."

"Nami is me!! Buggy is the pirate!!" Nami said seriously, "Buggy is a famous pirate who likes to use cannons. I heard that the pirates in a certain town made fun of him. His red nose, and he wiped out that town with a cannon. And, I heard, he can use magic!"

Luffy picked his nostrils, completely unable to understand what Nami was saying: "Why is there no one in this town?"

"I said!! They all ran to take refuge!!!"

"Haha! That's why you came here to steal things?"

"Nonsense!! I'm a pirate thief! Thief of pirates! Don't confuse me with a low-level thief! Hah~ I'm tired of talking to you!"

"Don't worry, hahahahahaha!"

"Hey, you don't understand. My goal is to earn 100 million Berry! Then buy a certain village!"

"100 million Berry?! How can an ordinary pirate have 100 million Berry?"

"I have a way! Look! This is the Grand Line chart I just stole! I want to steal Buggy's property here, and then go to the Grand Line to steal other great pirates' property!! How? Don't want to follow me? Do you cooperate to make money? Your power can help me, and the reward will not be less!"

At this time, Luffy finally realized a question: "Do you...have knowledge of navigation?"

"Of course! Don't underestimate me! I firmly believe that no one has more sailing knowledge than me! Because I like the sea!"

"Really? That's great! We are also preparing to go to the Grand Line! You can be our navigator! Be a part of the adventurer!"

Nami paused and asked suspiciously, "Adventurer?"

"Yes! It is a career that yearns for the sea, yearns for freedom, and dares to take risks!"

"Then what do you rely on to survive at sea?"

"Loot pirates! Or catch some not-so-bad pirates to collect bounties? My other partner has been doing this kind of thing, and it should be very good."

"Why only catch not so bad pirates?"

"Nope, just kill them."

"..." Nami paused again. She hated pirates very much, but she didn't expect this guy in front of her to be in line with her three views. She immediately grinned, "Sounds very good! You can also join me if you want, but you have to promise me that you will share half of the bonuses you rob, steal, or receive! After all, without me, you would not be able to complete this journey." Luffy is not very interested in money, he agreed without thinking: "Okay!"

In the original book, because Luffy said he wanted to be a pirate, Nami wanted to trick Luffy. But it's different now, Luffy's three views are consistent with hers, she really wants to join Luffy, and then earn 100 million Berry as soon as possible, and buy back that village from Arlong.

With the future settled, Nami became very excited: "Come on, since we have become partners, let's do the first transaction now! I have a plan here..."

Nami murmured about her plan to use Luffy as a bait and snatch all of Buggy's belongings.

Luffy was at a loss when he heard it, and was very puzzled: "Why bother? Didn't you say that Buggy did a lot of bad things? If it's true, then we'll kill him and grab all his belongings."

Nami's devil face: "Idiot!!! Do you know how many people Buggy has under his command?!! Do you know how strong Buggy is?! If you fight like this rashly, don't you just die?!"

"But... I'm also very powerful?"

"Are you strong? How strong are you?"

"I don't understand either, but no matter who the opponent is, I will definitely not back down! I will definitely knock him down!"

Nami shook her head and supported her forehead: "Hah~ forget it, don't worry about it so much, just follow my plan."

Luffy flattened his mouth, a little reluctantly said: "Okay..."

...

At the same time.

On the roof of the bar.

Buggy sat on a high chair, looked at a wanted warrant in his hand, and looked very unhappy, mocking and complaining in front of all his subordinates: "Oh, young people nowadays really do anything in order to become famous. I can figure it out. If you destroy a small kingdom without a strong man casually, there will be a reward for this, are the brains of those marines broken?!"

The arrest warrant in Buggy's hand has a big photo of Luffy.

His current reward is 15 million Berry.

Luffy, a newcomer, actually has 3 million more Berry than him, which makes him very upset.

He even forcibly imagined Luffy as a guy who would do whatever it takes to become famous, even capable of destroying a country.

The pirates around saw Buggy's dissatisfaction, and agreed one by one.

"Yes, yes, yes! If the boss wants to do it, he can do it!"

"Boss Buggy, why don't we find a small country to destroy? Then our Buggy Pirates can quickly become famous in the entire East Blue!"

Buggy slapped the armrest of the chair hard: "Huh! Do I need to use these low tricks to become famous?!"

Seeing that Buggy was angry, all the pirates tightened their asses, not daring to make a sound.

Buggy glanced at everyone, and suddenly turned into a cunning look: "Hah... If you want to become famous, isn't there an easier way now? As long as we catch this kid to the marine, we can get what we want!!"

"Yes! The boss is right!"

"Boss is right!"

"As long as the boss is willing to make a move, this kid is definitely not the boss' opponent!"

Buggy slapped the armrest again, and angrily said: "Since you know what I said is right, why are you still standing here?! Why don't you hurry up and find the whereabouts of this kid?!"

"Yes!"

Just now a few pirates left here, ready to start looking for Luffy's whereabouts, and a few more pirates came back here in a hurry and panic.

"Boss...boss...boss!! Not good!! That thief got away!"

"What?!! You let go that thief?!! You three big men, what are you doing?!!"

"Yes... I'm sorry, Captain Buggy... But... But the big brother in the straw hat is really amazing!!"

Buggy's expression froze: "Wait, what are you talking about? A dude wearing a straw hat? Come over and see if this guy is the same as the guy on the arrest warrant?"

"Yes, yes, yes! Captain Buggy, that's him! The thief was the one who left!"

Buggy gritted his teeth: "Okay... I haven't provoked you yet, you come here to provoke me... It seems that these newcomers have become more and more reckless recently! Very good! Since you came to your door, I will not be polite! Why are you still standing there?! Hurry up and block the entire town! If he escapes, you will all die!"

"Yes, yes!"

"Boss Buggy!" At this time, another pirate called Buggy from a distance.

"What's the matter?!!"

"Then...the thief...she came to the door by herself."

Buggy: "???"

Pirates: "???" After a while.

Luffy, who was bound, was brought to Buggy together with Nami.

"I brought the thief back, Captain Buggy the Star Clown. Let me return the chart to you."

"Boss...boss...boss! This is the guy!! It is exactly the same as the arrest warrant!"

Nami froze.

Wanted?

What arrest warrant?

Buggy didn't care so much, he was very happy now: "Hahahahaha! Well done! Well done! I don't care what your relationship was with him before! But you have done a great job for me now! I will definitely not treat you badly!"

While Buggy was speaking, he also handed over the arrest warrant to Nami for Nami to see for herself.

And he himself walked up to Luffy to make money, admiring the spoils that could make him famous and rich in one fell swoop.

When Nami saw the arrest warrant, she was dumbfounded.

Is this really the same person?

Didn't you say you are an adventurer?

How did you become a wanted criminal?

A moment later, in order to celebrate the lost and recovered sea chart, and to capture the treasure of Luffy alive, the Clown Buggy Pirates held a party.

Everyone had a great time drinking.

And Nami, while everyone was not paying attention, went to the cage where Luffy was held, squatted down, and said with a gloomy face: "Didn't you say you are an adventurer? Why did you lie to me? Why did you do such a thing."

Luffy took it for granted: "Because they are bad people."

Nami was stunned. She didn't expect Luffy to speak so confidently. She gritted her teeth and said, "How can you do this? That's a whole country! How many people did you kill?"

When it came to this topic, Luffy's smile gradually disappeared, and he became serious: "No matter how many people, as long as they are bad people, I will kill them. I have a reason to kill them."

Nami looked at Luffy with a complicated expression for a while, and finally sighed and said: "Forget it, I have no way to agree with what you did. I said that I joined you before, just pretend that nothing happened. Wait for me. After I get their treasure, I will find a chance to let you go. At that time, we will not owe each other and go our separate ways."

As she spoke, Buggy's voice suddenly sounded behind Nami.

Buggy viewed Luffy condescendingly: "Hahahahaha! The consequences of stealing my treasures are very serious. If the arrest warrant stated that I must capture you alive, I could get a higher reward. I wish I could kill you right now!"

Luffy didn't speak.

But his unafraid eyes, that straw hat, made Buggy very unhappy.

Buggy smiled grimly: "Although I can't kill you, it's okay to punish you appropriately! Nami! Cut off his hands!"

After finishing speaking, Buggy threw a dagger to Nami.

After taking the dagger, Nami was stunned.

She couldn't do it.

Luffy laughed and said, "Your hands are shaking. It's all because you were not mentally prepared for dealing with pirates, that's why this happens."

"What... what preparations? Pirates who kill casually are mentally prepared?"

"No! It's a psychological preparation to protect your own life"

Nami lingered, and finally after the pirate couldn't see her, snatched the dagger from her hand, and prepared to do it herself.

In desperation, Nami subconsciously pulled out her combined wooden stick hidden in her thigh, and hit the pirate on the head with one stick, preventing him from attacking Luffy.

Seeing this, all the pirates were furious.

Buggy was also extremely angry: "Nami!! It's rare for me to allow you to join!! What's your attitude?!"

Luffy continued unhurriedly: "What's wrong? Didn't you say you want to join me? Are you still helping me now?"

Nami stood in front of Luffy: "Nonsense! I'm just forced by the world! Even if I didn't join you, I don't want to do some pirate stuffs!! Pirates took the life of the person I value most!!"

"Oh? So you also hate pirates because of this kind of thing?"

Nami was stunned for a moment, wondering why Luffy said 'yes'.

Luffy grinned: "I've decided..."

Nami: "???"

Luffy: "You, I'm going to make you my partner!"

"Damn! Is this the time to say these things? Wait until you get out alive!"

Just when all the pirates were rushing towards Nami with weapons in hand, Zoro's shout happened to pass through in the distance: "Luffy!!! Catch it!!!"

A suitcase, passing through the cage perfectly, fell into Luffy's hands...
