"Here, you need this, the Grand Line chart."
After the battle was completely over, Nami handed the sea chart to Luffy.
"Hey? You want to give it to me?"
Luffy looked at Nami in surprise.
"After all, it is considered a collaboration. It is thanks to you that we were able to get the treasure of the Buggy Pirates."
Nami looked at the two big bags of treasures beside her, and a smile appeared on her pretty face.
If these treasures were converted into berries, they would amount to a total of 10 million berries.
This was the biggest gain she had ever made.
After all, if it weren't for Uno and the others, Nami wouldn't have dared to go alone to steal the lair of the big pirates with a bounty of 15 million berries.
"Although this can be considered as cooperation, all these treasures are mine!"
After Nami was happy, she immediately held the treasure tightly with a look of vigilance on her face.
"Hehe, with this, we can go to the Grand Line, Uno."
Luffy didn't care about the treasure at all at this time. He held the Grand Line's nautical chart and shouted excitedly to Uno.
"Yes, but we also need a pirate ship and a navigator."
Uno took the Grand Line chart and looked at it carefully, then said,.
Uno, who only had Navigation (White), had a hard time even understanding the nautical chart, let alone sailing on the Grand Line.
"Grand Line."
Zoro's mouth also curled up into a beast-like smile.
After Uno broadened his horizons, Zoro could not wait to go to the Grand Line to realize his ambition.
"If it's a navigator, then this is it, hehehe."
Luffy pointed at Nami and grinned.
Nami was still staring at Uno and the other two in a daze.
This was the first time she had seen pirates who were completely indifferent to such a large amount of treasure.
These guys have no treasure in their eyes, only dreams.
Do pirates who go out to sea just for their dreams really exist in this world?
Just as Nami was thinking this, she heard Luffy's words and immediately retorted.
"Hey, I told you I wasn't going to join the Pirates."
But Nami's eyes immediately rolled, and she smiled again.
"But it's quite profitable to cooperate with you. We can continue to cooperate."
"Hehehe, then it's decided, Nami will be our navigator!"
Luffy shouted excitedly.
"Temporary navigator."
Nami corrected.
"You're welcome aboard, Nami."
Uno held out his hand to Nami and smiled.
Just like when he invited Nami to dance on the merchant ship.
"..."
Seeing this scene, Nami obviously remembered how he met Uno and was a little dazed.
I thought we would never meet again on this vast ocean. Uno's words "see you later" were just a cliché.
Unexpectedly, not only did her dream come true today, she also became the temporary navigator on the Uno ship.
"Um."
Nami held Uno's hand and pursed her red lips.
"You, you guys, defeated that clown Buggy?!"
At this moment, a shocked voice was heard.
Uno and others looked over and saw a frail old man with gray hair, wearing homemade armor and dressed strangely, looking at them in disbelief.
"We were the ones who defeated Buggy and his gang. Who are you, grandpa?"
Luffy admitted it graciously at first, then looked at the old man curiously.
"I'm the mayor of this Orange Town, Boodle; who are you? You don't look like Marines."
Boodle first introduced himself, then asked, with shock still on his face.
The Buggy Pirates were actually wiped out by these kids.
"Their hometown was occupied by the Buggy Pirates. They must hate the Pirates. You must not reveal your identity."
Nami warned quietly.
"I'm Luffy, from the Pirates."
Luffy looked honest.
"Puff!"
Nami almost fell down.
"Ha ha ha ha."
Zoro slapped his thigh and laughed.
Uno looked at the scene and laughed a little.
As expected of Luffy.
"The Sea, Pirates..."
Mayor Boodle's cheek twitched.
"Ah, I'm hungry, Grandpa. Can you treat us to a meal?"
Luffy patted his stomach.
The use of Devil Fruit abilities requires a lot of physical energy.
"How can pirates let others treat them to a meal?"
Nami simply couldn't find words to describe Luffy's behavior.
"It would be better if there was wine."
Zoro was a little excited.
Having a drink after a fight is Zoro's greatest enjoyment.
"We really need to celebrate."
Uno, who got the Born for the Sea (Super Gold) entry, was also very excited.
"Even you are like this, Uno."
Nami was completely helpless.
Do these guys know the current situation? They are pirates, and the mayor in front of them has occupied the town.
"Come with me."
Unexpectedly, Boodle said after a moment of silence.
"Great, I have food to eat."
Luffy excitedly followed Boodle.
Zoro and Uno followed with a smile, and although Nami had no choice but to follow with the treasure.
Afterwards, Boodle brought several people to his home.
On the way here, Uno and others also met the puppy who was guarding the pet shop left by his deceased owner, sobbing.
Chouchou, who did not form a friendship with Luffy like in the original book, even yelled at several people. He gradually let down his guard after being comforted by Boodle.
However, Uno just smiled at this. Compared to forming a friendship with Chouchou like in the original book, what the puppy Chouchou needs more is to preserve this pet shop full of memories with its owner.
Afterwards, Boodle prepared some food for the group.
During the conversation, Boodle also clearly felt the difference between Uno and his group and the Buggy Pirates, so he told them everything that happened here.
Luffy just focused on eating and said nothing.
Nami listened to Chouchou's story, and she knew that even if the owner passed away, she would still protect this pet shop full of memories with the owner, and she was unwilling to leave even when facing the Buggy Pirates.
Nami was obviously very touched, but she didn't know what to do.

"Ah, we are full. We are leaving now. Thank you for treating us to a meal, Grandpa."
Luffy patted his stomach, smiling as if he had eaten his fill.
"How can you still laugh so happily after hearing what happened here? As expected, pirates are cold-blooded and can always easily take away other people's important things."
Who knew that when Nami looked at Luffy's smile, he suddenly lost control of his emotions?
"No matter what I say, what happened here has become a fact. What is lost cannot be brought back, right?"
Luffy looked at Nami.
"But you can't be so indifferent!"
Nami yelled in venting.
She knew this was the truth, and it was because of the situation here that she thought of what happened in her hometown that she lost control of her emotions.
But the next moment, a hand gently placed itself on Nami's shoulder.
"Reading?"
Nami looked at Uno in a daze.
"Luffy is not indifferent. This is Luffy's magnanimity."
Uno said seriously,"
"It's always easiest to say it with your mouth, but it won't change anything.
Just like you, Nami."
Nami was about to say something when she was stunned by Uno's words.
"You must have a story, but we won't ask.
Even if you told us what happened to you, we certainly wouldn't be able to understand how you feel right now.
Just talking won't change what happened to you.
But when you feel the time is right..".
Nami stared at Uno's face, which showed a smile as bright as the sun.
"Just trouble us as much as you want, Nami. We will help you even if it costs us our lives.
We are already companions."
Nami stared at Uno blankly.
Uno then looked at Luffy and smiled.
"Right, Luffy."
"Hehehe, that's right!"
Luffy yelled.
Uno's understanding of companions is really to Luffy's liking.
Zoro said nothing but smiled like a beast and straightened Wado Ichimonji a little.
This kind of behavior is also very much to Zoro's liking.
"...."
Nami pursed her red lips, trying hard not to lose control of her emotions.
Holding Uno's hand on her shoulder, Nami gently placed her forehead on it, as if she had found a support.
"With the strong approval of Monkey.D.Luffy, the bond has been improved and the entry loading progress has increased."
"Superhuman physique (dark purple), loaded."
A line of light screens appeared.
