Pirate: My partner is too crooked

Looking at little Nami who disappeared deep into the jungle in the blink of an eye, Lin Zhi couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth, feeling speechless.

They are obviously good people doing serious business, but they look like the kind of pirates who do all kinds of evil!

Ahem, although the king looks real, he feels a little bit oppressive...

"What? The pirates are here? Where are they? Is it the glasses guy from the Black Cat Pirates two days ago? They actually chased them here?!"

Aqua put on a serious fight stance, her intelligent eyes swaying left and right, trying to find the "pirate" in the cute little girl's mouth.

King scratched his head awkwardly and said with an apologetic tone: "Well, she may have misunderstood me as a pirate."

"Huh?" Aqua tilted her head to show that she couldn't understand.

"Let's go and take a look at the village inside first."

Lin Zhi took the lead and walked on the loess slope towards the direction of Cocoa West Village.

Aqua and King looked at each other and walked behind him.

On the loess road, there are dense jungles on both sides. There are many wild coconut trees rising from the ground, with black coconut trees hanging on them.

"Lin Zhi, what are we doing here? This place looks very backward."

Aqua looked at her surroundings, a puzzled look deep in her eyes.

"We are short of fruit on board, and oranges are abundant here."

Lin Zhi narrowed his eyes slightly, enjoying the fresh smell that filled the air.

Compared with the bumpy and rocking sea voyage, it is obvious that he prefers this down-to-earth comfort!

"It's just that the little girl just now thought of us as pirates. Is there no problem in passing now?" King asked cautiously.

"Just explain this little thing clearly. After all, we are guests who want to spend money in their village." Lin Zhi said with a smile.

While we were talking, the view ahead suddenly became clearer, and the narrow loess path came to its end.

"Three, three, are there only three pirates?!"

"Damn pirates, there is nothing valuable to rob in our village, you should go back!"

Under the leadership of guard Ajian, the villagers of Cocoyasi Village gathered together with shovels and sticks in their hands, staring warily at Lin Zhi and the others walking from the beach.

"Everyone, you have misunderstood. We are not pirates who do evil things, but businessmen who run restaurants on the sea."

"I came here just to buy some fruits like oranges from you. Of course, it would be better if there are meat or beer."

Lin Zhi took a step forward and explained his intention straightforwardly.

Although the villagers in front of him were holding weapons and looking nervous and not easy to provoke, they did not pose any threat to him.

Most of his attention was still on Ah Jianjian, who was wearing a windmill police hat.

This guard with a thick beard does not have the hideous scars left by the fishman on his face.

He was wearing a slightly old police uniform, with sharp eyes and steady breathing.

He was not as timid as the surrounding villagers, and his hands holding the weapons were trembling.

"I see, I'm sorry, it seems we misunderstood." Ajian said in a deep voice.

Although among the three people opposite, the blond man with the scar on his left eye did look like a pirate, he could not detect any hostility from the smile of the young man in charge.

Moreover, the blue-haired girl with outstanding appearance looked dull and did not look like a vicious pirate.

The guards all spoke, and the villagers breathed a sigh of relief, put away their weapons and wiped the sweat from their foreheads.

"It's okay. As a kid, it's normal to admit your mistake."

Lin Zhi came to Ajian and raised his palm, "Sea Restaurant Infinite Dream, Lin Zhi."

"Ajian, the security guard of Cocoyasi Village, welcomes you."

Jian stretched out his calloused hand and shook Lin Zhi's hand, then turned to a dark corner not far away and shouted, "Nami! Come out quickly, they are not pirates!"

Hearing this, little Nami, whose cat was in the corner, walked over on her worn-out shoes, with the book about navigation still held tightly in her arms.

"Yes, I'm sorry, I misunderstood you."

Nami raised her head and apologized to Lin Zhi and the others in a low voice.

Although Bellmere's education method is relatively simple and rough, Nami still understands the most basic politeness, but not much.

Just like after she stole the book from Jian's office, she would look back and say thank you with a smile...

While apologizing, Nami carefully looked at Aqua's blue skirt from the corner of her eye.

‘Okay, what a beautiful dress, just as beautiful as a princess! ’

'If only I could wear a dress like this. ’

His big eyes showed real envy.

Nami is currently wearing old clothes worn by her sister Nokigao.

"Oh, it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. Anyway, if you do something, we'll just fight back."

The smart Aqua didn't notice the changes in Ken and Nami's faces at all. She bent down and touched Nami's short orange hair with a smile, "Lin Zhi, look at it, what a cute kid, like Luffy." Just like that little brat!"

"Hey, what's your name?"

Nami was a little confused by this sudden wave of questions, and replied blankly: "Nami, Nami."

As soon as she finished speaking, she reacted suddenly and jumped back quickly to prevent Aqua from touching her head.

"Ahem."

Jian coughed lightly and looked at Lin Zhidao, "You just said you wanted to buy oranges, right? It just so happens that Nami's family grows oranges. Do you want to go to their house and have a look?"

As a poor household in Cocoyasi Village, Ajian knows how difficult it is for Bellemere to raise two children, Nami and Nokigao.

So even though there are people growing oranges in the village, he also wants to give priority to Bellemere for the business that comes to his door.

Obviously, the villagers standing and watching from a distance have the same attitude - otherwise they would have come over to introduce their products!

Lin Zhi lowered his head and glanced at little Nami, who was holding a book in her hands and looking nervous.

It has to be said that compared to the beautiful navigator who controlled the Straw Hats' financial power twelve years later, she was so thin and small that she looked extremely innocent and cute.

After all, she has not yet experienced the pain of Aaron taking away her adoptive mother's life.

"No problem, right Nami? Please lead the way."

Hearing this, little Nami lowered her head and stood there with no intention of leading the way.

"What's wrong Nami, if you can sell the oranges in the forest, you can make a lot of money!" Ken next to him thought Nami didn't understand.

Nami hesitated, but finally couldn't resist the temptation of money and whispered: "But, I just ran away from home."

She had just had a quarrel with Bellemere over food and old clothes.

From the perspective of her stubborn nature, going back now is a very shameless thing.

"Our demand is relatively large, so if the business is concluded, maybe you can buy new clothes to wear."

Lin Zhi, who was well aware of Nami's current family situation, said something that she could not refuse no matter what.

"Really? Then hurry up and follow me!"

Sure enough, the entanglement and hesitation on Nami's face disappeared in an instant, and she skipped towards home.
