Chapter 39

A team member was carrying two large barrels and passed by. After laughing for a while, he explained to Nami who was at a loss:

"Little sister, don't underestimate us, we also came from the Grand Line. It is just a group of pirates who came from the Grand Line. we can handle them without the captain's help."

On the mast, the team member who acted as a lookout also echoed:

"Haha, you're right, we are the elite of the headquarters, and we can easily solve the problem of a mere 20 million bounty pirate!"

After that, everyone laughed again, obviously not taking Arlong seriously.

Luffy watched with a smile, but did not stop them.

These people were not bragging, and everyone present was a little superman who mastered at least three of the six styles.

It was impossible for Arlong to scare them.

"You you, you guys..."

Nami couldn't understand it at all. That was a fishman whose arm strength is 10 times stronger than that of a human. Why did these people think they could defeat the fishman?

"Stop it."

Luffy walked forward and couldn't help but patted her head.

"In the Grand Line, guys of that strength can only be regarded as trash.

Miss Nami, you have to have faith in your saviour."

After saying that, Luffy turned around and drew out the Seiryu, and swung out a flying slash of more than 30 meters long.

The slash passed, and the pirate ship was instantly cut in half, and it sank into the sea in a short while.

Nami stared at all this in amazement, rubbing her eyes and thinking that she was dazzled.

After Luffy glanced at the stunned Nami, he put away the sword with satisfaction, pointed to the front and shouted:

"Everyone, head towards the Conami Islands and show Miss Nami the strength of our guerrillas pirate hunting squad!"

"UUUUAAAA!——"

Encouraged by Luffy, everyone was full of energy.

The sails were spread to the maximum, a pair of outer wheels were opened, and they were heading towards the target location at full speed.

Only then did Nami barely come back to her senses.

Feeling her heart beating wildly, she clenched her hands and murmured:

"If it were them, maybe they could really defeat Arlong."

"All you talked about was Arlong. Do you know him well?"

Ain came over at some point, looked Nami up and down, and frowned.

Hearing this, Nami stiffened and lowered her head, unwilling to answer.

Noticing the girl's abnormality, Ain didn't ask any more questions. She turned to Luffy and said something, then took Nami's hand.

"You must be tired too. I'll take you back to your room so you can have a good rest first."

"Yes, thank you."

Nami thanked quietly, turned around and looked at Luffy and the others, then followed Ain into the cabin.

After the two left, Gavin approached Luffy and whispered:

"This girl seems to be hiding something from us, and she is too resistant to Arlong."

"Could it be that her family and friends had been killed by the fishmen, and that was why they had such a shadow in her hearts?"

Binz said the truth.

But Luffy did not respond, he just shook his head and sighed:

"No matter what happened, to make a child so scared, this Arlong must be dealt with."

"What kid? I heard everything. Nami is older than you, Captain."

Cook exposed Luffy's past without saying anything.

Luffy was so angry that he kicked him.

"Go and practice your iron body!"

"Oh, no, no, no, I know I was wrong"

The sound of people fighting on the deck made Nami feel more at ease.

'If they can completely defeat Arlong, maybe they can really save the village. '

Nami was daydreaming, and didn't notice Ain's scrutiny at all.

As a woman, her mind is more delicate. From Nami's previous tone and expression, she could feel that the girl had a hidden hatred for Arlong.

However, she did not expose it. She took Nami and stopped in front of a door. After pushing the door open and walking in, she turned around and said with a smile:

"This is my room. If you want to sleep, there is a new quilt here.

If you are hungry, I have some snacks here."

"No, no, I just need to eat something."

Nami looked around. The room was not big and very tidy.

There was no other furniture in the room except a bed, a wardrobe and a set of tables and chairs.

There were a few books on the table. The names seemed to be related to marine affairs.

There was also a photo frame next to it. In the photo frame was a group photo.

It seemed to be a group photo of everyone on the ship, but in the middle, everyone was surrounding a tall purple-haired man.

Ain followed her gaze, smiled and walked up to pick up the photo frame and handed it to Nami.

"This is a group photo taken before graduation. According to the rules, we were supposed to be assigned to different branches.

But Luffy found a way to get us all on the same ship.

Teacher Zephyr was almost went mad when he heard about it, but he finally asked the Fleet Admiral to set a precedent so that we wouldn't have to separate."

Looking at the purple-haired man that Ain was pointing at, Nami's first feeling was that this uncle was very serious and scary.

Then she inexplicably felt that the name was very familiar, as if she had heard of it somewhere.

But before she could think about it, Ain pushed her to the desk and sat down.

Then he took out large and small bags of various snacks and piled them on the table.

"These are the snacks I brought from headquarters. They taste great. You can try them all."

"Thank you, Sister Ain."

Nami replied sweetly. She was really hungry.

She quickly opened a pack and started eating. Then her eyes lit up and she immediately sped up.

Ain carefully prepared water and tissues for her, and then sat by the bed and watched her quietly without disturbing her. She ate 4 or 5 packs of snacks in a row and drank a large glass of water.

Nami burped and stopped.

"Finished? Don't you want to eat more?"

"No, I'm full."

Nami quickly wiped her mouth, then sat upright and faced Ain.

She also noticed that Ain seemed to have something to say to her.

Ain was as gentle as ever, and asked Nami softly:

"Can you tell me about your hometown? What is it like?"

"I..."

Nami opened her mouth, not knowing how to answer.

She had just mentioned an island she had seen on a map before, and she didn't even know if there were people on that island.

She was silent for a long time, perhaps because she thought of the scene where Luffy slashed the warship with his sword, and the marine's indifference when they talked about Arlong.

Anyway, she didn't know what she was thinking.

After taking a deep breath, she finally decided to tell the truth.

"Sorry, actually I...."
