Chapter 9: Chapter 9
One minute ago. In a certain area of the East China Sea.
An officially licensed luxury cruise ship banquet was in progress.
All the participants were wealthy businessmen from various islands and countries.
Of course.
In addition to the wealthy, there were also male and female waiters in tuxedos walking around the banquet.
The atmosphere of the banquet was lively, and no one noticed that a young waitress with short orange hair quietly slipped away.
"Hehe, great harvest~great harvest~"
Looking at the wallets of the rich in the backpack, the girl's eyebrows curved into crescents.
This vote can earn at least several million berries, and it is a big step forward to collect 100 million berries to redeem the village.
Just as the girl was thinking this, the next second, without any warning, ripples like water waves appeared in the void.
Then, a fish hook appeared out of thin air and hooked one of the wallets
""Oh! Oh! That's my wallet!"
The orange-haired girl, who valued money more than her life, grabbed the wallet quickly.
Then, with a whoosh, the wallet and the girl disappeared into the void ripples.
...
...
Time goes back to the present.
On the calm sea, the girl with short orange hair keeps floundering in the water, struggling to grab the wallet hanging on the hook.
However, every time, it slips away from her fingertips just by a little bit.
After several times, the girl is completely upset.
"Robber! Thief! Give my wallet back to me now!" the orange-haired girl cursed angrily.
"Oh, are you sure this is your wallet? Miss Little Thief Cat!"
Luo Lin looked at the girl in the water and smiled.
Luo Lin was very familiar with the little tail hanging behind the wallet that he had caught.
Little Thief Cat Nami!!!
The navigator of the Straw Hat Pirates!!!
After leaving Shimotsuki Village, Luo Lin had also wanted to meet Miss Nami, the money-grubber.
However, Luo Lin never expected that the first meeting between the two sides would be in such a bizarre way.
"Of course, I worked so hard to get it from the banquet, give it back to me quickly!"
Nami said unjustly but confidently.
"Well, compared to the ownership of the wallet, you should pay more attention to protecting yourself from being eaten by sharks!"
Rolin kindly reminded
""Huh?"
Nami was startled and turned her head subconsciously.
When she saw the fish fin coming straight towards her not far away,
""Ahhh~"
Nami screamed, quickly fumbling with her hands and feet, grabbing the gangway as fast as she could, and climbing ashore in one go.
"Take it and wipe it!"
Luo Lin casually threw out a clean towel.
Nami was not polite and took the towel to wipe her hair, and then her body under the clothes.
While wiping, her big eyes were still staring straight at Luo Lin… The wallet in her hand
""Okay, okay, it's just a broken wallet, I'll give it back to you!"
Luo Lin shook his head and returned the wallet to Nami.
"Wow, thank you, you are such a nice person~"
Nami smiled happily.
However,,,
The next second, the smile on the girl's face froze, because she found that her wallet, which was originally bulging with money, was now empty.
"I'll give you the wallet back. These are the cost of the towels!"
Luo Lin waved a stack of thousand-dollar bills with a bright smile.
"What? One hundred thousand berries for a towel, you are robbing me, I don't want it, give it back to me!"
Nami was immediately furious and quickly threw the towel with the scent of Nami on Luo Lin's face.
"I was just kidding you, why are you so angry?"
Luo Lin shook his head helplessly.
"The towel is free, and the 100,000 is the fee for helping you escape from the shark's mouth and taking a boat ride!"
"I..."
Nami held back her words as soon as they came out of her mouth, her hands gradually clenched.
She had already accepted the reality and knew that the money would most likely not be returned.
In addition, this was now the other party's territory.
The most important thing for her now was to prevent Luo Lin from discovering the other wallets in the backpack.
Besides,,,,
Nami's eyes rolled.
Hitchhiking!!!
This is what Luo Lin said himself.
Ho ho ho!
How dare you let me, a famous thief in the East China Sea, hitchhike.
Then I'll teach you a lesson about what it means to be a thief.
When I get off the ship, you will lose everything.
Nami had a plan in mind and was determined to plunder all the treasures on the ship before leaving.
Thinking of Luo Lin's furious look after he found out that he was robbed, Nami couldn't help but laugh out loud
"Heh."
Luo Lin could probably guess what Nami was thinking, but he ignored it.
"Kobayashi~Kobayashi~"
"Brother Luo Lin~"
Thor and Kuina, who were busy preparing lunch in the kitchen, noticed the"quarrel" on the deck and hurriedly pushed the door open.
"Xiaolin, who is this girl?
Thor looked at Nami curiously.
"Well, I happened to come across a drowning person and saved him. These are her thank you fee and boat fare!"
Luo Lin explained casually.
"Hello, my name is Nami!"
Nami greeted in a friendly manner.
Before taking action, of course, you must first gain the other party's trust.
"Thor!"
Thor nodded.
"I am Kuina, Miss Nami, you are soaked, go take a shower first and then have lunch, you will be ready soon!"
Kuina greeted warmly
"Thank you for your help, Kuina-chan~Tor-chan~!"
Nami said in a familiar voice.
In just a minute, the three girls had already become friends.
