(A few minutes before)

"Are you sure about this?" a girl asked her partner with an uncertain look on her face.

"Why are you acting like an amateur? It's not like we haven't done this before," the second girl replied with an annoyed look on her face.

"I just feel it is not a good idea, and maybe we should change our target to someone else," the first girl stated in a nervous tone.

"Just trust me on this. I have already checked the ship, and there is no one on it," the girl said while gazing toward the ship,

"They must have a lot of treasure on board, at least a few millions, just look at their ship," the girl with purple hair said confidently.

"A few million!" the girl with orange hair exclaimed in surprise as her eyes turned into beli symbols after hearing this,

{I will be using beli instead of berries from now on to avoid confusion.}

'Hehe, it's so easy to make Nami accept the plan,' the girl with short purple hair thought.

"Yeah, what are you waiting for Carina?" Nami asked as she naturally moved toward the ship.

"Wait a minute," Carina said as she rushed towards it.

After both of them boarded the ship and started to explore the deck,

"Look, that chair looks so different and exotic," Carina said, pointing towards the chair before she sat on it.

"Wow, and it is so comfortable," Carina said with a pleased look on her face while wholly enjoying the comfort it provides.

"Knock it off, as we need to find their treasure and money, not to feel how comfortable their furniture is," Nami said as she tried to figure out how to unlock the lower component door,

"It's open," Nami commented as she took a few steps back with a stupefaction look on her face.

"Open, but what kind of idiot will leave it open like that?" Carina asked in a humorous tone as she moved toward the door.

"I am not kidding, it's open, and you can look at it yourself," Nami replied as she stood behind her, so she could run first if there was someone on the ship,

"Good for us, then we won't have to waste time trying to crack the lock," Carina said before opening the door.

"I think we should find the captain's room, as he must have most of the treasure and berries," Carina suggested as she moved toward the hall,

"Yeah, you are right," Nami replied as she followed after her.

But before they could enter the ship, a few ropes hanging on the deck came to life and rushed toward them at an exceptional speed.

"What is this..." was all Nami could say before the ropes quickly bind her neck and mouth and then lifted her in the air,

Carina quickly turned around and saw Nami getting hanged in the air by the ropes.

When she saw a few ropes moving toward her, she quickly shouted, "I surrender," towards those ropes in the hope that she wouldn't get hanged as she didn't want to have the same treatment as Nami,

The ropes halted for a second before they continued moving toward her.

"Wait, wait, didn't I already surrender?" Carina hurriedly shouted as she tried to dodge them by rushing inside the ship,

But she was captured the same way as Nami, and then these ropes started to drag them towards the ship cells,

.

When Leo and co entered the ship, they saw not a chair was out of place, and it was as they left this morning,

The moment Rindou reached inside, she rushed to the kitchen and began to search for anything that was missing or out of place.

"Are you sure there were intrudes on the ship?" Rindou asked as she did not find anything out of place in the kitchen.

"Do I look like a liar to you?" Leo asked as he sat down on the chair, and brought out his crew card, and looked into the live feed of the cells in Black Pearl,

It is one of the brand-new features he unlocks after reaching D rank in Power Level,

"I didn't know you could do that," Zoro asked while raising his eyebrow at this live feed,

"It is a feature that I unlocked after I reached D rank, and it allowed me to observe all the places on the ship and the surrounding area, other than the private rooms," Leo explained with a straight face.

"Are you sure about that?" Zoro asked with a suspicious look on his face.

"What do you think I am, a pervert? And even if I were to look at someone, it would be a beautiful girl, not you, Mosshead," Leo replied with an annoyed expression on his face.

"You know, if you want to see it, I don't mind, Leo," Rindou whispers in his ear in a sexy tone softly,

A shiver went through Leo's body after hearing her words,

'What with this girl. She is really driving me crazy with her unreserved flirting,' Leo thought while trying to calm himself down.

'If only they had this type of attitude toward others, then I could easily shrug off her flirting attempts, but no, she only flirts with me. That is the thing that makes it so difficult and hot for me,'

Seeing Leo getting corned, Zoro tried to change the subject by saying, "Isn't that orange hair girl Nami? Come on, tell us, Leo."

Leo seeing this opportunity to get out of this awkward situation, replied, "Yes, her name is Nami, the current member of the Arlong Pirates that are active in the Conomi Islands, and she is the most capable navigator in this sea,"

"She is also a thief that works with her partner Carina the purple one, to steal from pirates and merchants,"

"So, she is a thief that tries to steal from our ship?" Rindou asked with a frown on her face, as she didn't like the idea of a thief joining the crew.

"Yeah, mostly, so what would you do? Oh, wait, I know you want to recruit her as our navigator," Zoro asked Leo while taking a gulp from his bottle.

"I will still recruit her, but she will get some punishment for this,"

"And now what to do with the other one, because I am not letting her leave after she saw the Black Pearl in action," Leo asked their opinion on this,

"Kill her if she is not useful," Zoro replied icily.

"You could always give her a subordinate crew member card, so she will never be able to tell anyone about it," Rindou offered an alternative.
