The Pirate Garen

Somewell Island, pier.

After being sent off by the local sheriffs, Galen, Nami, and Wallace set foot on their own ship together.

Or, from now on, belong to their ships.

The original owner of this ship was the Steel Knife Pirates, and there was a pirate flag of the Steel Knife Pirates hanging on it—two crossed swords, a not-so-scary skull, and the composition design was extremely mediocre.

Galen is not a pirate, and he has no interest in being a pirate, so the first thing he did when he boarded the ship was to remove the ugly pirate flag.

With Gangdao himself making his home in the box, this pirate ship naturally became a spoil of war for Galen.

Galen himself was not satisfied with the ship:

An ordinary two-masted sail powered wooden boat, the old canvas was stained with large black and yellow stains, and the deck that had not been cleaned and maintained for many years was also corroded by sea water.

In addition to the health problems left over by the steel knife pirates, the ship also looks extremely dilapidated:

One of the masts was apparently broken by an external force and repaired temporarily with steel plates and iron nails, and there were still several large holes with scorched black marks on the deck and the hull.

Obviously, the Steel Blade Pirates had a fierce artillery battle with an enemy before, and they rushed to Samwell Island to hunt down and kill Nami who stole their treasure before they could repair it.

The previous owner's maintenance work was not in place, which made Galen, who took over the second-hand ship, feel very headache.

"Can't we change the search boat?"

Galen couldn't help but said to Nami:

"This ship is too broken, I doubt it will sink to the bottom of the sea"

"Don't worry!"

Nami said indifferently:

"It's only the upper deck and the port hull are damaged. The mast, sail, rudder, and watertight cabin are all fine, and there is absolutely no problem in sailing at sea!"

"And ah."

As Nami spoke, two golden Bailey symbols appeared in her eyes:

"Double-layer artillery deck, super long keel, and spacious internal cabin"

"This kind of medium-sized armed sea-going ship can be repaired and refurbished, and then sold will bring a lot of income!"

"I see."

Galen's eyes also brightened:

"In this way, my income is more than the 10 million Baileys!"

Galen pronounced the word "I" heavily.

"You actually want to take it all for yourself? Obviously I also have a share!"

Nami's face darkened instantly.

"Although attracting monsters can barely be regarded as a contribution"

"However, I don't need to split the bill with the temporary worker lady who owes me a life."

Galen said indifferently, the instinct of saving money of ordinary people is beyond doubt:

"Why don't you wait until Rogge Town, and try to steal the money along with the boat?"

"snort!"

Nami blushed slightly from being squeezed, so she had no choice but to respond to Galen with a harmless soft hum.

As a little Thieving Cat who has always been able to handle tasks with ease, Nami experienced the feeling called "embarrassment" for the first time.

Because the "task" this time is also different from the past:

The tin can in front of him not only clearly knows that he is a thief, but also has a vague understanding of his background experience.

Being debunked is a big taboo for a thief. Faced with this situation, the best solution is to fly away as soon as possible.

But Nami is unwilling to leave here.

Not only because of the possible 10 million Baileys, but also because of.

This is the first time Nami meets a fool who knows she is a thief and wants to help her.

It was also the first time that he got rid of his identity as a thief and received a job called navigator.

Voyagers, not pilfering cats.

This is Nami's dream.

In just one day, she felt the long-lost beauty.

Thinking of this, the corners of Nami's mouth unconsciously opened a warm arc.

Galen then interrupted Nami's thoughts with a joke:

"Nami, if you want to share the money"

"It's a good choice to come directly to be the knight's wife."

"roll!"

Nami's unexplained smile instantly froze on her face.

"Madam Knight? Is this a marriage proposal?"

Wallace's eyes lit up, and he said to himself with a little excitement:

"It turns out that the relationship between Lord Galen and Miss Nami has developed to this point?"

Wallace pushed the mirror frame on the bridge of his nose, then took out a pen and paper from his pocket and recorded silently.

Nami quietly went over to take a look, only to see that the previous storyline of "the beautiful thief abandons the dark and turns to the light" has been perfected by Wallace again into a bizarre and tortuous love story between a righteous knight and a villain thief.

"Hello!"

Nami clenched her fists in embarrassment:

"Delete this paragraph for me! Otherwise I will"

Before the threat was spoken, Wallace responded without changing his face:

"As a journalist, I will not give up reporting the truth because of power!"

"Where is this real?!"

Nami asked with a flushed face.

Wallace's expression remained calm:

"Appropriate plot highlights can increase the readability of news reports."

"It's just a basic writing skill that a copywriter needs to master."

Nami was too angry to speak.

Wallace, on the other hand, carefully reviewed the manuscript in his hand after writing this paragraph, without being disturbed by Nami's anger at all.

After a long time, Wallace woke up from concentrating on his work, and asked with some concern:

"Miss Nami, which route are we taking this time?"

"How many days does it take to reach Rogge Town?"

Galen beheaded a 10 million-level big pirate with a steel sword, which is already big news that can catch people's attention in the weakest sea, Donghai.

The "Donghai Daily" that Wallace worked for was originally a local newspaper published specifically for the East China Sea area.

As an expatriate reporter with lofty ideals, Wallace, who has already gotten big news, now just wants to return to the newspaper office as soon as possible, and prove his ability as a journalist with the fresh stories of "Justice Knight Galen" he discovered.

Whether she is a professional navigator or not, Nami answered without hesitation when asked about this:

"This time, I plan to sail along the route close to the windless zone, which happens to be able to take advantage of the natural power of the circum-Eastern Ocean Current."

"We can reach Rogge Town in two days by taking this route, which saves twice as much time as taking a passenger ship."

"Using the East China Sea circulation close to the windless zone?"

Wallace, who is familiar with the local conditions and customs of the East China Sea, immediately recognized the hidden mystery behind this, and he couldn't help admiring:

"It seems that Miss Nami has a lot of attainments in navigation!"

This route is close to the windless zone, where the wind direction is treacherous and changeable, and the weather is ever-changing. If the ship is not careful, it will be pushed by the wind and waves to the deadly windless zone to feed the sea kings.

Without extremely advanced knowledge of meteorology and oceanography as a basis, ordinary navigators would not dare to take the risk of taking that route with the fleet.

"Of course!"

"I am the best navigator in the East China Sea!"

Miss Nami accepted Wallace's praise without humility.

"Very good!"

Wallace also said happily:

"News is time-sensitive."

"With a navigator of Ms. Nami's strength leading the way, I can publish the heroic deeds of Lord Knight as soon as possible!"

Saying this, Wallace took out a pen and paper again, and added a "genius navigator" character set for Miss Nami as a "beautiful thief who was influenced by the knight of justice and fell in love with the knight at first sight".

Wallace couldn't help but murmured excitedly:

"The powerful knight of justice and the beautiful thief who is both beautiful and intelligent, this news is very interesting."

"etc."

Nami finally came to her senses:

"What did you say you were going to publish?!"

Nami's pale cheeks flushed dark red from embarrassment, and a clenched fist slowly approached Wallace's spotless pair of gold-rimmed glasses:

"That kind of mess, you still want to be published in the newspaper?!"

"Messy stuff?"

Wallace pushed the mirror frame calmly, and said in a flat tone:

"I am a professional reporter, so I will naturally write true and complete reports based on first-hand information."

"So, I still have a few questions and I want to interview Ms. Nami face to face."

"Pooh!"

Nami turned her head away disdainfully: "I won't answer."

The remaining half of the words suddenly got stuck in his throat.

Because a check with a long string of numbers was dangling in front of Nami.

"This is the interview fee, and it can be exchanged into cash at Donghai Bank in Rogge Town."

Wallace said without changing his face:

"Of course, if there is really no story worth reporting between Miss Nami and Lord Galen."

"I won't force it either."

"Well"

Nami hesitated for a moment, then a lovely smile appeared on her face:

"Yes, yes, yes"

Nami took the check calmly, and hid it in the "four-dimensional pocket" on her chest with lightning speed:

"Whatever story you want, there will be any story."
