Side story

East Blue, Conomi Island Cocoyashi Village

"Nami! I thought you already learned after stealing that book last week but you haven't changed have you but you evolved! rather than stealing books you are already stealing money from the villagers," Bellemere scolded as she made Nami kneel on the ground.

The little orange-haired girl who was kneeling pursed her lips and looked up to her mother and said with a cheeky smile on her face, "But no one found out, and if it wasn't for Nojiko telling you this you wouldn't have found out also hihihi,"

"You little!"

*Pak!*

"Ouch! why did you spank me so hard!" Nami cried as she ran off massaging her aching butt that was spanked.

Bellemere seeing Nami running raised her stick and shouted, "Where do you think you're going you little cat!"

Nojiko who was at the side couldn't but laugh seeing Nami getting punished.

Dropping the stick Bellemere turned around and walked back into the house while holding a bunch of money in her hands with a smile on her face as she commented, "You call this stealing? you only got a few bucks."

Nami who ran earlier went to her usual spot that was located on a cliff and sat there staring into the distance.

"One day, I will travel the seas and make a map of the world but for now I need to sustain our family of 3 by stealing money from each villager."

"And who is gonna steal from the villagers again?" A voice of a man came from behind Nami making her turned around.

Seeing who it was a smile appeared on Nami's face as she said, "I wouldn't have to steal if you chose to marry Bellemere,"

Genzo who was about to scold Nami suddenly became embarrassed as his face turned deep red, "Shut up! kids shouldn't concern themselves with adults stuff."

Nami chuckled as she turned around and faced the ocean again, "Gen-san, I want to experience what a complete family feels like."

Genzo took his hat off and placed it on top of Nami's head and said with a smile on his face, "You cheeky brat"
