Ch 49 : Nami's problem

I am a Rich Second Generation in One Piece Ch 49.

" So.. you must have a lot of questions for me now."

On top of the deck, Seth saw Nami was looking at him intently.

Just now, she had just followed him to handed Buggy over to the nearest Marine Base, and after taking the bounty, the two resumed their journey.

This might be a problem in the latter day as ​​Seth knew Buggy's previous crewmate Shanks was now one of the four emperors of the new world and one of the strongest men in the world, if not the strongest.

Against someone like Shanks, the current doesn't have a chance with his current power level, and he doesn't know how much it will take him to have the strength to face someone like him yet.

Yet Seth still chose to take the bet and apprehend Buggy. Based on what he had seen in the manga, Shanks would not make a move if it was just handing Buggy to the marine. After all, he had walked the pirate way, and the two surely knew the risk behind their decision.

Seth waited for a while, but even after some time, nami didn't say anything. Therefore, he decided to tease her a bit.

" What? Don't tell me you have only realized my charm now?"

It was just some simple teasing, but far from Seth had expected, Nami's reaction was pretty big.

The little thief cat had her face now fully red from blush, and as she tried her best to hide her embarrassment:

"what are you talking about…" Nami's heart started beating fast. Seth had really hit the bull eye. If before she had seen Seth as a charming young man, for some reason now she felt attracted to him.

The power that he had displayed before. It was not like Nami fell for Seth just because of his power, but when Seth had saved her from Buggy before, the illusion of the prince on the White horse had made Nami's feeling for Seth rose to a whole new level.

[ DING!!! You have left a good impression on Nami. Nami's affection +20, +200 Counterattack points.]

"???"

Really?

It seems the knight on the white horse situation had really done its wonder for Seth.

As he coughed a bit, Seth took the wine bottle, opened it, and took a sip:

"Then why are you blushing? It is a normal thing. It is not an embarrassing thing. Also, I know I'm a charming man."

Nami felt speechless when she heard this and could only humph at Seth, "Humph, I'm not talking to you anymore."

Seth chuckled. It seemed that he had been pretty successful in alleviating the tense situation a bit.

" Anyway, let's get to the main topic. I know you have much to ask, but to start, let me re-introduce myself. My name is Seth Holzberg, and my other identity is the Sichibukai Tiamat."

"I know, I heard you say it before.. " Nami felt relief seeing that Seth didn't change after he had revealed his true identity, but she was just a bit sensitive now.

Seth came close to her and pat her arm using the calming touch:" Chill, okay? You know I don't bite."

After that, the two exchanged some small chats with each other, in which mostly Seth told her about the reason why he had decided to hide his identity as he just wanted to enjoy some of his time traveling in East Blue without any worries about his responsibility as a Sichibukai.

Now, both Seth and Nami were on the ship. Nami was really fascinated by Seth. Her face is like a girl who had just met her idol. But the more they chatted together, the more Nami felt the distance between them, and she could not help but look at the sea and think about something.

Obviously, this action from Nami didn't escape Seth's observation. He knew what she was thinking about, but this girl…

She must be feeling that it was not okay to beg for help.

Nami was a fairly independent girl, and just like in the anime, until the last moment, she would try her best to not ask for help and burden someone.

But this just made Seth want to help her even more.

Seth came and interrupted her thoughts trail " Nami, what are you thinking of?"

"Ah, nothing... "

Nami said as she looked at him and smiled gently. She tried to hide her thoughts from Seth.

She was afraid to ask for help, afraid that Seth would misunderstand her and get away from her.

Any normal day and Seth would respect Nami's choice and pretended that he didn't notice. But today was special. Sometimes as a man, Seth knew he must take the initiative.

He went right at Nami, and as their face was only sepparated by a few centimeters that they could feel each other's breath, Seth said:

" Nami, please don't hide it from me. You have helped me before, so now is my turn to help you!"
