Rejected Again!

"Sigh… Didn't you find a better day than this to show me your fat face!?"

"What did he say!?"

"Did I hear wrong?"

"He said Alvida-Sama's face is fat-"

"Shh, you idiot."

Before the two pirates could even interact, they felt the world around them turn black as they were struck by Alvida's iron kanabo.

After letting out her anger, she looked at the crowd of trembling passengers and said with a fierce expression.

"Who said I'm fat!? Get out here!"

"Oh, did the grease on your fat face affect your hearing and your sight? It was me who said that."

"Boy… Stop causing trouble!"

The captain of the ship tried to silence Naeim, but the latter did not care and strutted out of the crowd while putting his hands behind his head.

Alvida's face turned red with anger. Naeim insulted her again and again plus he wasn't handsome so she made up her mind to kill him already.

"Kid! I will kill you first and throw your dead body into the ocean as I promised!"

She clenched her grip on the iron kanabo and smashed it against Naeim's head with all her might.

The iron kanabo passed through his body which turned into just flames easily. This attackcausedg him no harm.

Nami was about to head to Alvida's ship to steal the treasures on it, but at that moment she was shocked by the scene in the ship's hall.

The mouths of the passengers who were watching in utter shock fell onto the ground.

"You, you ate a Devil Fruit, right?"

"Right, I'm a user of Mera-Mera no Mi."

Naim answered calmly, his hands still carelessly behind his head.

After all, he had already made up his mind about what he was going to do from now on.

"I've heard rumors about it, but I didn't expect it to be true."

At this moment, Luffy and Coby walked out towards the main hall where everyone was gathered and watched the commotion intently.

But Luffy as always says what he thinks directly.

"Who is this fat woman!?"

His voice was so clear in the hall that they all heard it.

"Another one!"

"Ah! It's that monster that came out of the barrel!"

"Damn it! I think he's a strong bounty hunter!"

"Could it be that ferocious, pirate hunter Zoro!?"

"He called Alvida-Sama a fat woman, too!"

Fearing Naeim who can control flames, Alvida's anger backed away from him and all turned to Luffy so without any hesitation she attacked Luffy just like in the original story.

…

In the end, Luffy sent her flying with a punch and scared her crew away.

The marines also arrived.

Naeim took out Ace's small boat from an episode of the anime and used his flame ability to catch up behind Nami's boat.

A similar scene occurred in the last minutes of the first episode when Luffy and Nami first meet. This time Naeim and Luffy's boats simultaneously disembark near Nami's boat.

The three of them looked at each other intently but did not speak, in the end under stress from the marines they ran away.

But Naeim made sure to follow behind Nami, who was the most efficient at avoiding the bad weather.

…

"Why do you follow me? Didn't I reject your offer earlier? Go and be the king of the world alone..."

After a few hours out at sea, Naeim was still right behind her boat, so he badly bothered her.

If it wasn't for knowing that he was really strong, she would have tried to drown him.

"You're planning on going to the marines' base in Shells Town, right? I can help you find the map of the Grand Line you're looking for."

Naeim yawned before answering softly.

He hadn't expected that traveling by sea would be so stressful.

He still had the weakness of the sea and had already tried and confirmed it, so he didn't dare to stop his ability even for a second. At this point, he had already mastered Ace's exclusive way of traveling so he had no problem controlling his speed and moving left and right as he wanted.

"What!?"

Nami was shocked after hearing this perverted stalker tell her what she was planning to do next.

"No need for all this shock, I will invite you again. Are you interested in joining me? I will help you defeat Arlong and liberate your village."

This time her body shivered, her eyes widened, and her breathing almost stopped.

"W-What did you say…!?"

"I said, I could save you."

Why was she working so hard? All to save her village and herself from Arlong's grip.

Could her long nightmare end at the hands of this person who seemed so ordinary… She didn't think so. No, it's impossible, he's obviously lying to her.

"I don't know where you know about me, but stay away from me, I don't need anyone's help."

Hearing that, Naeim coldly glared at Nami, making her shiver subconsciously.

"Sigh… So this is how fate work, huh?"

"No problem, sorry to bother you."

As soon as he said that, he increased his speed and passed Nami's boat. In less than a minute. He was so far away from Nami that she could only see the streak of mist behind him.

For some reason, after he left, Nami felt a little disappointed, as if she really missed her golden chance this time.

"If you can defeat Arlong then go defeat him why do you have to tell me that, hmph!"

…

This time Naeim literally removed Nami's name from his list of preferred waifu.

He wasn't Sanji after all, she rejected him down twice, and that was more than enough to freeze any real man's heart.

Naeim increased his speed and in less than one hour a green island dense with buildings appeared in his field of vision.

This was the first island that appeared in One Piece, Shells Town.

After stopping at the beach, Naeim put away his small boat in the 4D pocket and heads out onto the island to take a stroll around.

"Sigh~"

He started looking for a restaurant to taste the food in this world before anything else.
