After making the decision, Dewey and the other two set off towards Kokosia Village.
During the process, Nami told Dewey and Kalina all the information about the "Arlong Pirates", including that she was also a member of the "Arlong Pirates" and the agreement of 100 million Beli with the Arlong.
The girl has put all her eggs in one basket!
Nami is not yet eighteen years old as she was at the start of the story, and the idea that dragons are invincible has not yet been solidified.
After seeing Dewey's strength, she felt that she could fight back against the dragon.
If she fails, Nami will inevitably fall into the abyss and the fire of hope will be completely extinguished.
If successful, she will have a new life.
Dewey, who rescued the girl from the bottom of the sea, will also gain her loyalty.
Therefore, in the fan fiction of the previous life and the original work, if Nami wants to be a navigator, the dragon is a hurdle that must be overcome.
To use the terminology of the gaming industry, it means defeating the mini-boss.
"One hundred million berries, you actually believed in a bloodthirsty pirate!?"
Kalina looked at Nami in surprise, her face filled with disbelief. She was not frightened by the number, but she did not expect that this little thief, who was as cunning as herself, would actually believe the words of a pirate.
"I think she didn't believe it, but wanted to grasp this only hope."
Dewey defended Nami.
Nami was silent for a while, then she said quietly: "I know that even if I collect 100 million, the evil dragon will not return the village to me, because he wants me to help him draw navigation maps all the time."
"Thanks a lot."
Kalina patted Nami's shoulder and felt admiration for the girl.
Compared to her, I am so happy.
Dewey also patted Nami's shoulder and comforted her: "Don't worry, you will wake up from your nightmare soon."
"Thank you, Boss!"
Nami nodded vigorously and expressed her sincere gratitude to Dewey.
"You're welcome. You are all my partners in the conquest of the Grand Line."
Dewey gave a thumbs-up and grinned, "Before we enter the Grand Line, as the captain, it is my duty to help you solve your problems. It just so happens that I can use the fish's head to repay your debts and the funds for setting sail."
Hearing this, Karina asked, "Boss, you entered the "Pirates' Graveyard" to find the legendary great treasure? Are you planning to become a pirate too?"
"No, I'm not interested in the Great Secret Treasure."
Dewey rolled his eyes at Kalina and said, "Pirates aren't the only ones who can enter the Grand Line. Why can't we enter as bounty hunters?"
"It's not easy to be a bounty hunter."
Karina frowned and said, "Little Thief Cat just said that the reason why the Dragon Pirates' territory is so secretive is not only because of a sea beast, but also because they bribed the navy in that sea area. This shows that corrupt navies are not uncommon. If we take Dragon's head to that branch to exchange for the bounty, we might be targeted by the rat colonel there.
The East Sea is OK, at least we know that we can't go to that branch, and we can exchange it with the Navy branch in Rogue Town. But after entering the Grand Line, we know nothing about intelligence, and we encounter a greedy navy like Colonel Mouse, and the possibility of being tricked is very high…"
After a slight pause, Kalina added: "So, we have to prepare for the worst and change from bounty hunters to wanted criminals."
"As expected, you are even better than Nami. Just knowing the darkness of the navy, you have thought this far."
Looking at Kalina with a serious expression, Dewey sighed inwardly.
Nodding, Dewey agreed, "Your analysis is good, so we will keep a low profile for the time being and look for a reputable naval branch. By the way, I will also find you a devil fruit."
"Devil Fruit?"
Kalina and Nami were both tempted.
After witnessing Dewey's power to control nature and the life-and-death crisis he faced at Mad Torrega's place a few days ago, it would be impossible for them not to be tempted by the devil fruit.
If they were people with special abilities, they wouldn't have been caught by Mad Torreja.
Especially Nami, if she was a person with special abilities, she might not need to ask anyone for help and could save everyone.
Seeing their reactions, Dewey nodded inwardly and confirmed the idea that had flashed through his mind two days ago.
He really wanted Nami and Kalina to become special ability users, and he had already found suitable devil fruits for them, as well as methods to obtain the fruits.
After all, they are all too weak. If they were only in the East China Sea, Dewey would still have the confidence to protect them.
But if they enter the Grand Line and accidentally become a wanted criminal, they will face a huge number of enemies and will not be able to protect them.
Therefore, the best way is to let them become capable people.
As for everyone becoming people with special abilities, how will the fear of the sea be solved?
Dewey didn't care about this.
He is still weak now, and the reason he has a fear of the sea is because he is worried about the unpredictable changes in the climate.
When Dewey becomes powerful, changing the weather will be just a matter of raising his hand or raising his foot.
Dewey believes that after Kalina and Nami become ability users, he has become a strong man who can stand on his own.
Let's get back to the topic.
The sea area where Dewey and his friends were located was not far from the Cocosia Village.
It only took three days for the sailboat to enter the waters ruled by the "Evil Dragon Empire".
"Fushan——!"
"roar..."
A strange ship broke into the Dragon Empire, and just as Nami had said, they were attacked by the manatees from the Grand Line.
However, as soon as the manatee emerged, it was submerged by a huge fire snake.
Dewey has not yet mastered the art of cutting steel, so his slashing move does not contain any cutting power, but only a strong impact force and a burning flame of a good temperature.
Even so, it's not something a manatee can handle.
"Fire Fist—"
In order to prevent the manatee from diving into the sea to extinguish the flames, Dewey did not give it any chance to escape back into the sea. He flew into the air with the help of flame jets with his feet, and his other arm turned into flames, and he used the most powerful fire fist at present to hit the manatee on the head.
As if being hit by a heavy object in the fire, the manatee screamed as its body was engulfed in the sea of fire. It soon lost its voice and lay motionless on the sea.
The flames continued to burn over its carcass, and soon, the aroma of roasted meat and burnt flavor emanated.
Witnessing the manatee Moo who destroyed a village being killed by Dewey in just two moves, the light of hope in Nami's beautiful big eyes became brighter and brighter.
