Pirates: Ninjas On The Straw Hats

Chapter 23 A Night Talk Between Two People

"What's wrong? Why don't you go to bed yet?"

Tonight, Xin was responsible for keeping watch. All three idiots had fallen asleep. Only Nami took advantage of the darkness to walk to the deck.

Jumping down from the observation deck, Xin held a blanket in his hand, ready to put it on Nami:

"I remember there is a shower room on the ship. You can't ask me to heat the hot water this time, right?"

Nami did not refuse the blanket, but she did not look directly into Xin's eyes and turned to look at the empty sea:

"What a shame! I just want to blow some air."

"You have something on your mind, right? You've been absent-minded all day today."

Xin sat on the guardrail and looked up at the sky:

"Tell me about it. After all, we are partners."

"Has anyone ever told you that girls sometimes need some time alone?"

"I just know that what sad people need is someone to talk to."

"Hmph! You're obviously not much older than me, why are you pretending to be mature?"

"Do you remember? The first time we met."

Without answering Nami's question, Xin recalled the first encounter between the two:

"That was under Alvida's boat. We fell from the sky, met and separated in a hurry."

"The most impressive thing was the second time. Your acting skills were really bad at that time."

"At that time, I just thought you were a pretty thief."

"Then at the port, I added a weird label to you."

"It was also with the Buggy Pirates that I completely changed my view of you."

"Kind, cunning, greedy for money, he is willing to risk his life to save Luffy, and he is equally willing to risk his life for the treasure."

"But you were also kind and didn't really take back the treasure left with the mayor."

"After getting in touch with you, I found that you are like a miser, always thinking about making money."

"But I also discovered that you were wearing ordinary clothes. You were even wearing a sailor uniform when we first met."

"Obviously she is at an age where she loves beauty, but she doesn't have a single piece of jewelry on her body."

"But you are also envious when you see Kaya's wardrobe, which means you don't really want to dress up."

"At that time, I was wondering if you had any hidden secrets and needed money urgently."

"During the day today, you changed your story and said that we are just a cooperative relationship."

"You have obviously regarded us as partners for a long time, so why did you suddenly break away from us."

"If it's just a family member who is sick and needs money urgently, there is no need to leave us alone."

"It's only possible that you are facing a very powerful enemy, an enemy that you think we can't defeat together, so you want to sever ties with us so as not to implicate us."

"At the same time, this enemy can be defeated or delayed through money, so you will be like a miser who can only get in and out."

"So, do you owe money to the underworld or is your family being coerced by bad guys?"

Nami, who had been listening quietly, snorted coldly, pretending to be fierce and said to the letter:

"Maybe I never considered you as a partner, but I was just using you?"

"My eyes are called Sharingan."

The letter suddenly opened Sharingan, and his red eyes stared at Nami in the darkness:

"Its ability is insight. Although it cannot see through people's hearts, many of your small actions also prove that you are not wary of us."

"Your body is trembling Nami. The fact that you are not in a defensive posture means that you are not trying to fight back. If you want to cry, I can lend you my shoulder."

"Idiot! Don't look at girls' bodies casually!"

Nami slapped Xin off the boat and used Chakra to stabilize his body. Xin did not choose to return immediately. This force was just to drive him away. Now Nami probably needs to be alone for a while.

When the sobbing on the ship stopped, he jumped up and returned to the Meili. He saw that Nami, who had been leaning on the guardrail, had sat on the deck, holding her legs curled up with both arms, like an injured animal. Like a kitten, she wraps herself in a blanket.

"My hometown is in Cocosia Village, where there is a cruel ruler and a fish-man pirate named Arlong with a bounty of 20 million."

Ignoring the letter about reboarding, Nami said to herself:

"He requires the villagers to hand over life money every year, 100,000 for adults and 50,000 for children."

"I was forced to join them. They promised that as long as I earned 100 million beli, I could buy the village."

"If Luffy knew about this, he would definitely attack Arlong no matter what I said."

"I'm going to save enough money now, so give me some more time, okay?"

"Don't tell this Luffy, I will come to you immediately after buying the village!"

As she talked, Nami cried again. This might be the first time she told others about these things.

Nami lowered her body and wiped away her tears, and Xin said:

"What do you think Luffy will do if you leave without saying goodbye? He will definitely come to find you."

"I promise you not to tell this matter, but I hope you can take the initiative to tell Luffy."

After helping Nami up, Xin's tone was a little helpless:

"Have more trust in us, we are very strong!"

"Go to sleep, don't catch a cold."

Nami nodded, took two steps forward and then stopped:

"Thank you, Xin!"

"We are partners, aren't we?"

This time Nami didn't reply. When he was about to reach the door, he stopped again and looked back at the letter:

"Aren't you going to take this opportunity to confess your love?"

Nami's face is no longer sad and gloomy, but has a little more blush, and the remaining tear stains make her look even more pitiful:

"I read novels circulated among pirates. Usually the hero Kakuzu should confess his love to the heroine at this time, right?"

Xin's face was serious and his eyes were straight:

"Reality is not the plot of a third-rate novel."

"And I said I'm not interested in little girls!"

"Hmph! I also said that I am the ninth one, I!"

"Is it because I feel a little regretful that I didn't see it during the day, so I told you this story again?"

"You're so frank, Xin. Do you want to see it? I only need one hundred thousand beli~"

Nami held on to the hem of her clothes, Xin spread her hands and said helplessly:

"I speak from my heart. I like someone who is more mature."

"And one hundred thousand beli is too expensive!"

Nami's lips curved into a wicked smile:

"Then sixty thousand beli!"

"It's not about money!"

"Thirty thousand beli!"

"I told you I like mature people!"

"Then it's free this time. Come on, let's see!"

Nami pretended to lift up her shirt, preparing to send a wave of benefits to the letter.

"Earth Style·Earth Style Wall"

"Hmph~"

Nami didn't really show off her beauty, but she seemed to have discovered Shin's weakness. This ninja who pretended to be mature might still be an innocent boy!

Turning around to go back to his room, Nami said again:

"Thank you, Xin!"

"We are partners, aren't we?"
