Pirates: Ninjas On The Straw Hats

Maybe it was because he released too many ninjutsu yesterday, so Xin slept right into the afternoon. If it weren't for the noise coming from outside, he might not have woken up.

"Boss Zhefu!!!"

"Thank you for taking care of me for so long!"

“Your great kindness will never be forgotten by me!!”

After scratching his prickly head, Xin walked out of the cabin. Except for him, all members of the Straw Hats stood on the side of the deck, watching the farewell scene in front of them.

Sanji knelt down with tears in his eyes and thanked Zhefu on the second floor. The chefs who came to see him off were also in tears.

"Looks like we're finally going to have a chef."

The letter turned around and entered the conference room on the second floor, where there was the pen and paper used by Nami to write the voyage diary.

He wrote down the phone bug's number and the address of Kaya's home. He didn't know where to buy the phone bug. If Barati didn't have one, he would have to let them trouble Kaya.

The note was taped to the kunai, and when he walked out, the Meili was already in motion.

Johnny and Joseph were at the observation deck. Sanji, who was newly on board, got into a fight with Zoro for some reason. Luffy and Usopp insisted on having another banquet, but Nami gave them a scolding for not having enough supplies.

"Ah, Xin, you finally woke up!"

Luffy seemed to have seen a savior and hurriedly escaped from Nami's fist and ran behind Xin.

"Hey, you've slept for too long!" This is Usopp.

"You just drank a little bit yesterday and are you still drunk now?" This is Nami.

"This hedgehog is so stupid!" This is Zoro.

"Hey, from today on, I am also your partner. If you want to eat, leave it to me!" This is the new Sanji.

"Hello, Brother Ninja!" This is Johnny and Joseph on the observation deck.

Xin also responded to everyone in a while, especially looking at Nami.

A Shadow Clone was created, responsible for sending the information on the Kunai back to Barati.

Xin saw Nami who was looking a little sad, and thought he was confused about whether to talk about Arlong or not.

"All eyes are on me!"

Xin raised his hands and shouted to everyone, and when he saw everyone's eyes turned over:

"I have an announcement!"

"Nami has something to tell everyone!"

"Wait!!"

The conversation changed and the letter was directed at Nami, and he helped Nami make up her mind! Xin, who lamented his good deeds every day, nodded with satisfaction.

duang～

"Don't make a decision for me!!"

Nami rushed up angrily and punched Nobu on the head.

"What's going on, Nami?"

Usopp asked confused. Zoro also crossed his arms and looked at the two of them. Luffy was already lying on the special seat and taking a nap. Only Sanji was in a bad state and pointed at the two of them in disbelief:

"Is it difficult...could it be that you two are?"

As he spoke, he held his head with both hands and shook it vigorously:

"No! No!"

"How can that kind of hedgehog be worthy of Miss Nami!"

Boom~

There was a sound of head hitting the wooden board. Sanji, who made a random guess, became the second character to be punched by Nami.

Looking at her friends in front of her, Nami gasped and hesitated a little until Xin's hand patted her shoulder, and she heard the words in her ears:

"Have more faith in your partner!"

Taking a deep breath, he smoothed up his short sleeves and exposed the Arlong tattoo on his left shoulder to everyone:

"Eight years ago, a group of fish-man pirates came to my hometown, Cocosia Village..."

In Nami's slightly choked voice, the playful expressions of his friends gradually disappeared. Luffy was grabbed from the special seat by Xin, put on a straw hat, and lowered his head in silence.

The story this time is more complete than last time, with the dead Bell-mère, Ajian covered in stitches, the overturned house...

By the end of the story, Nami was kneeling on the ground crying.

"Ah!! Bastard fish man!!!"

Sanji's whole body was ignited with fire, and he wanted to kick the fishman over right now.

Zoro turned to look at the letter:

"You already knew this, right? Hedgehog head!"

After all, Xin didn't mean to be surprised at all, and he nodded in denial.

"Then give the order, Captain, what are we going to do!?"

"Um?"

After hearing the inquiry, Luffy never responded. Xin was a little confused and went up to push Luffy's shoulder.

Luffy, who was sitting cross-legged, fell backwards until he hit the deck with a bang, and a grunt came from his mouth.

"Sleep...asleep!?"

Even Xin, who has always been very tolerant of Luffy, couldn't help but have a "#" appear on his forehead at this time:

"You stupid captain!!"

"Water Style·Grand Falls Technique"

"ah!!!"

…

When Luffy was fished out by the letter, soaked all over, he happened to see Nami with tears on her face.

He stepped forward and put his cherished straw hat on Nami's head. Although he fell asleep, Luffy listened briefly:

"Nami! You are the navigator of the future Pirate King!!"

"I will beat Arlong away!!"

"I want you to board my ship completely!!!"

"A fishman? I wonder if there are any swordsmen worth killing!"

Although he was injured, Zoro crossed his arms and said.

"It's a pity that it's in human form, otherwise it could be made into food!"

Sanji lit a cigarette and said with some regret.

"It's just...it's just a fishman, leave it to me, Uncle Usopp!"

Although his legs were weak and trembling, Usopp's mouth was still hard.

"We will also come to help, Nami-chan!!"

Johnny and Joseph from the lookout also shouted.

"Everyone......"

Nami's eyes were filled with tears again. It turned out that she already had so many reliable partners.

"Look, have more faith in your partners!"

"Um!!!"

Nami finally broke her tears into laughter.

…

"Although he has decided to go to war with Arlong, Nami is also ready to try the 100 million beli agreement."

"I don't want it!! I'm going to beat Arlong away!!!"

"Listen to me, Arlong will definitely not abide by the agreement, and it won't be too late to beat him up when the time comes!"

"I do not want!!!"

"Just let Nami give it a try. After all, she has worked hard for so many years to save enough."

"I'm going to beat Arlong away!!!"

"...How about we have a party first when we get there?"

"That's okay! Let's have a party!!!"

Everyone on the deck looked at the cheering Luffy with dark eyes, wondering how he could be fooled by such a simple trick.

A Shadow Clone was separated, holding a fishing rod, and deceived Luffy into taking him fishing. Xin led the others into the conference room.

"Although that agreement is just a trace of Nami's fantasy, since Nami wants to do it, let her try it first, right?"

In the conference room, Xin asked everyone. Both Sanji and Usopp were silent, but Zoro made a very crucial point:

"Then what if Arlong really kept his promise? Should we leave like that?"

"If it had been before, I would have been in favor of just leaving."

Nami was not sure about the attitude of her friends before. She only believed that Luffy would keep charging. She was not sure about the reactions of others.

Now everyone is sparing no effort to express their support for Nami. If he really plans to leave like this, his friends may not agree:

"Even if it really abides by its promise, I will still take revenge on Arlong!!"
