Chapter 12: The Grand Line
"Oi, Nami, the weather is changing. It's about to snow."
Hearing Yuna's words, Naomi tilted her head in confusion as she paid closer attention to the weather. Nevertheless, no matter how hard she tried to find any indicators that it was about to snow, she couldn't find
anything.
"Are you sure, Yuna? I can't see any signs of that happening."
"Of course, you can't. Predicting the weather on the Grand Line is impossible, after all. No idea where that woman got the idea that it is about to snow from; it can only be a random guess."
While Nami only had some doubts about Yuna's statement, Mister Prince surprisingly directly contradicted her claim, causing Yuna's eyebrows to rise.
"Seems like one of our passengers prefers swimming next to our ship instead of traveling on the deck."
"I apologize for acting cocky."
The moment the threat of swimming beside the ship left Yuna's mouth, Mister Prince's courage vanished instantly, and he apologized, resulting in Yuna snorting in disdain.
"Anyway, I'm not a navigator, and I have no clue how to predict the weather, but there is one thing I can say with 100% certainty: If I say it's about to snow, it's about to snow."
Nami briefly glanced at Yuna, and seeing the confidence clearly visible on her face, Nami shrugged her shoulders and prepared herself for snowfall. After all, there was no point in Yuna lying about this, so she might as well prepare herself.
And, unsurprisingly, it took only another minute for now to start falling from the sky, dumbfounding the Miss Wednesday and Mister Prince duo.
However, what surprised the duo even more was that despite more and more snow falling from the sky, not a single snowflake landed on the Merry's deck.
"Eh? Why isn't the snow piling up?"
Noticing that it had started snowing, Luffy became excited as he wanted to play in the snow; however, he quickly noticed that none of the snow had landed on the deck, confusing him a little.
"Well, since it could be troublesome if too much snow piles up on the ship, I decided to make it not fall on us."
Hearing Yuna's explanation, a pout appeared on Luffy's face as he looked skyward.
"But I wanna play in the snow!"
Yuna chuckled in amusement due to Luffy's childlike attitude, and seconds later, a chill went through Luffy's spine due to a snowflake bypassing his clothes and landing on his back.
However, Luffy quickly overcame the uncomfortable feeling as he noticed snow slowly piling up around him, causing him to laugh out loud.
"Shishishishi! That's what I'm talking about!"
Watching Luffy happily playing in the snow, Yuna smiled lightly, while noticing from the corner of her eyes that Usopp had started playing in the snow as well. Meanwhile, Zoro was deep asleep while a sheet of snow slowly covered him.
Sanji, on the other hand, was currently in the kitchen, cooking something to warm up the rest of the crew, and Miss Wednesday and Mister Prince were still looking at Yuna, dumbfounded at how she managed to predict the weather.
"What the hell!? We need to turn the ship around!"
Suddenly, Nami exclaimed in surprise, drawing everyone's attention.
"What's wrong, Nami? Did you forget something?"
"Nonsense! We are sailing in the wrong direction! How did that even happen!?"
Hearing Nami's words, an arrogant smirk appeared on Mister Prince's face, and he was just about to open his mouth and taunt Nami when an arm was casually placed on his shoulders.
"Say, exactly how good are you at swimming~"
A chill went through Mister Prince's spine while Yuna softly whispered those words into his ear.
However, before he could answer, Yuna felt a gentle breeze rustling her hair.
'A spring breeze? The hell?'
Suddenly, the clouds that previously were emitting snow vanished almost instantly and were replaced with a few small clouds that allowed gentle sunlight to cover the Going Merry.
'The weather here is an absolute mess.'
"Nami, I can see fog in the distance!"
"Damnit, there is a huge iceberg in our way!"
"I'll deal with it!"
"WHAT'S WRONG WITH THIS SEA!?"
Following the gentle spring breeze, Usopp noticed dense fog in the distance, but before they could even reach the fog, Sanji spotted a massive iceberg blocking the Merry's path. Luckily, an iceberg wasn't really an obstacle for Yuna, and she managed to move it out of the way easily.
"CAREFUL! A STORM IS COMING!!!"
Things were far from over since as soon as the Straw Hat's managed to pass through the dense fog, the ship was hit with massive waves and a heavy storm, forcing them to furl the sails.
The chaos continued for another hour, and only then did the weather return to its initial calmness. While most of the Straw Hats were more or less semi-passed-out sprawled on the Going Merry's deck, Yuna couldn't help but laugh due to the chaotic situation.
"Hahaha, what's wrong with this sea!? This so fun~"
Hearing Yuna's words, Nami briefly glanced at her before checking the Log Pose to make sure they were still sailing in the correct direction, and after making sure that was the case, she decided that she was no longer willing to move.
Meanwhile, Zoro, who had been sleeping this whole time, woke up with a lazy yawn. He stood up while stretching his arms and back a little, and feeling the warm sunlight on his skin, he couldn't help but smile.
He briefly looked around Merry's deck and saw almost everyone sprawled on the ground; he shook his head with a wry smile on his face.
"I can understand that you want to be lazy due to the nice weather, but isn't this too much? Are we still on the correct course?"
The moment those words left Zoro's mouth, deep-seated hostility was directed at him, and before he could do anything, Nami's fist descended on his heart, causing him to exclaim in pain.
"You sure have some guts saying that after sleeping through all of that trouble."
"Haa~ What did you just say!?"
The moment the pain the bump on his head caused him faded away, Zoro confronted Nami due to her hitting him, but unfortunately, that encounter ended in an additional two bumps appearing on Zoro's head, causing him to roll around in pain while holding his head.
Apparently, the ship's navigator was the most powerful member of the crew as long as it was outside of actual combat.
Seeing the duo's brief interaction, Yuna only chuckled in amusement before ignoring the situation. Since the sea was currently calm, she decided to rest for a while.
However, as Yuna was sitting cross-legged on the ground, with her head resting against the Going Merry's mast, she felt someone approaching her, resulting in her opening her eyes.
"Zoro, do you want something?"
While Yuna was resting, Zoro occasionally stole a few glances at Yuna, and after seemingly making up his mind about something, he decided to approach her with a conflicted expression on his face.
"I have a few questions, and I hope you can answer them."
"Sure."
Not really bothered about Zoro wanting to know something, Yuna causally answered him positively and awaited his questions. Frankly, she could more or less guess what he wanted, but for now, she decided to wait for him actually to ask about it.
"Previously, when we were pulled inside Laboon's mouth, you made the suggestion to cut him. Could you really have done that? Are you capable of cutting something that big?"
"Mhh? Yeah, I could have done it, but make no mistake, if I had done so with my current body, I probably wouldn't be able to move my arms for a while."
Hearing Yuna's answer, Zoro nodded his head in understanding. Obviously, he still remembered Yuna's story about remembering her past life. Although he still had some trouble believing Yuna's words about her past life, it would explain the difference in skill level and strength of her body. Well, to be frank, Zoro didn't care all that much about the circumstances anyway.
"I see, so it's like that. In that case, can you help me improve my swordsmanship... No, not 'help'. I hope you can point me in the right direction."
Unlike his canon counterpart, after being defeated again and again, who got desperate for strength to such a degree that he was even willing to ask his goal, Mihawk, to train, the current Zoro is far from that point.
So, instead of straight up asking Yuna to teach him how to improve his swordsmanship, he only wanted her to point him in the right direction. This much, his pride still allowed.
Digesting Zoro's words, Yuna nodded in understanding, already having a rough outline of what kind of person Zoro was. So, without further delay, she stood up while drawing one of her blades, the unnamed one.
"Well, I don't mind. I can somewhat guess what kind of person you are, so instead of bothering with any long-winded speeches, I'll give you a rough explanation and demonstration of the different levels of swordsmanship. Additionally, keep in mind that what I'm about to tell you is how things were seen in my first life and might have some inaccuracies."
Zoro didn't bother answering and simply nodded his head, eager to see what Yuna would do. He felt like his swordsmanship had been stuck in the same place for quite some time. He was pretty sure that fighting someone powerful would help him advance further, but unfortunately, the enemy he met was Hawkeye, who was so overwhelmingly strong that Zoro got very little from that fight.
Now that the wound he got that day was pretty much healed, he felt like he was about to reach the next level. One little push was all he needed to advance further, to get even stronger. He didn't know if Yuna's words would be able to enable him to go further, but he felt like this would be a good start.
"Well, skill with the swordsmanship is roughly divided into five levels. Obviously, there are quite a few sub-levels to each level, but I won't bother you with those due to the differences this place has compared to my first life. Frankly, I feel like the right direction to go regarding your skill should be the same, while the finer details might vary to some degree.
Well, that being said, the first level is pretty much just basic swordsmanship. How to swing a sword, how to properly manage your center of gravity, and come up with some normal sword techniques. Pretty much the normal stuff a swordsman should be capable of. From what I can tell, you are at the peak of that level. You are a peak Swordsman."
The moment Yuna finished speaking, Zoro couldn't help but be stunned. After all, he was just at the peak of the first level of swordsmanship!? He had trained over a decade, and yet he had only reached such a low level? Wasn't he one of the strongest in the East Blue? What was going on?
Obviously, Yuna noticed the dismay in Zoro's eyes but didn't bother to comment on it as she continued her explanation. She was certain that after she was done, Zoro would understand why Yuna claimed that he was only at such a low level.
"The next level, the level of a Master Swordsman, is the real of cutting the equal. Basically, that means that you are capable of cutting something that is made of the same material your sword is made of. A wooden sword cutting through wood, and a steel sword cutting through steel."
Zoro's eyes shone in recognition when he heard Yuna's words, as he recognized what she was talking about. The ability to cut steel is something Zoro has been chasing after for quite a while, without the skill to obtain it. Now that Yuna had told him that "cutting steel" was the next level, he could somehow accept that he had indeed not stepped into the second level of swordsmanship yet.
As these thoughts passed through Zoro's mind, Yuna raised her blade and slashed down, causing Zoro to tilt his head in confusion. He had no idea why Yuna just did that.
However, Yuna raised her blade yet again and made another cut. This time, Zoro couldn't help but furrow his brows. He couldn't really put his finger on it, but that second slash felt different.
Seeing Zoro's facial expression, Yuna nodded in approval.
'He noticed, huh? Although he is a bit of a muscle head, he certainly has a talent for the sword.'
"Seems like you noticed. The first attack was a normal sword slash, while the second one was imbued with the concept of 'Cutting the Equal'. I won't tell you what exactly I did since I can tell that would go against your pride, so good luck getting it with just a demonstration."
Although Zoro was a little annoyed by the grin Yuna was currently giving him, he still nodded his head in understanding, knowing full well that he wouldn't be satisfied if Yuna simply told him how to progress his skill level.
"Well, following that is the 'Flying Slash'. The ability to send your sword strikes flying beyond the reach of your blade. A Grandmaster Swordsman."
The moment Yuna finished speaking, Yuna yet again slashed down her sword, resulting in a somewhat small flying slash being sent skyward, causing Zoro's eyes to widen in recognition.
'That's how Mihawk cut Don Krieg's ship!'
Naturally, Mihawk's slash was colossal, big enough to cut through a giant warship, but the technique still seemed somewhat similar.
'So Mihawk it at the very least at the third level defined by Yuna. A Grandmaster Swordsman. As expected, he is really far away, but that's fine. Someday, I'll definitely catch up to him.'
Seeing the determination in Zoro's eyes, Yuna couldn't help but smile lightly, appreciating Zoro's strong spirit.
"Well, I won't bother much about the last two realms since they are rather far away for you, but I might as well give you a little peek."
Yet again, Yuna raised her sword, but this time, Zoro felt incredibly strong pressure descending on him. He felt like someone was pressing a blade against his throat.
He might not be the sharpest tool in the shed, but he could instantly tell that the level of swordsmanship Yuna was currently showing him was far beyond everything he had ever witnessed, as just raising her sword was already enough for Zoro to feel death.
However, as soon as the overwhelming pressure came, it was gone, as Yuna lowered her sword with some sweat on her forehead and a somewhat labored breath.
"*Phew* As expected, displaying that kind of level with this weak body won't even allow me to perform the attack. Well, what do you think, Zoro?"
Frankly, displaying this level of power was somewhat risky, bearing the possibility that Zoro would lose motivation and despair, but if that was all it took to take down the self-proclaimed "Future Greatest Swordsman", then Zoro wasn't worthy of that ambition in the first place.
Zoro, on the other hand, had cold sweat flowing down his back, but despite being terrified by what he had just experienced, there was a face-splitting grin on his.
'This power... how incredible. I'll reach that kind of level, no doubt about it. No, I'll surpass it! I'll grow stronger and stronger and stronger until I'll not even flinch in front of that kind of presence. I'll go even further until I myself reach that kind of swordsmanship!'
Seeing the fire of determination being lit within Zoro's eyes, Yuna couldn't help but grin. Initially, the only reason why she joined this crew was due to Luffy's unwavering determination, but now, she felt like Luffy might not be the only interesting character in this crew.
'What a strong will. I like it. Luffy is obviously a monster, but it seems like Zoro isn't far away from him, either. I wonder how the other member of the crew will fare~'
Chapter 13: Whisky Peak
"Usopp is an idiot~"
While Luffy and Usopp were fighting on the deck of the Going Merry, Nami sighed deeply as she watched Yuna casually store away the sea conch she had previously held.
'Seriously, where did she even get something like that from?'
Shaking her head, Nami decided not to bother with Yuna's ongoing prank and focused on the Log Pose attached to her arm instead.
'Good, we are still on course, and it seems like the weather has stabilized as well. I hope that is a sign that we are about to reach our first island.
"Ah~ My beautiful princess, I made you some snacks."
In the background, Sanji presented an assortment of snacks to Miss Wednesday, but unlike Nami, who only rolled her eyes at Sanji's behavior, Yuna noticed Miss Wednesday briefly flinching when Sanji called her a princess.
'Hee~ Seems like there is more to her than meets the eyes.'
Yuna was just about to go over to Miss Wednesday and bully... *Cough* tease her a little when Usopp's voice echoed over the Going Merry.
"Land! I can see an island ahead!"
Looking where Usopp was pointing, Yuna could see a small island that appeared to be covered in mountain-sized cacti.
"That's our cue to leave!"
"Thank you for bringing us back home."
""Bye, bye, babee~""
Suddenly, Miss Wednesday and Mister Nine jumped on the ship reeling, and before anyone could react, they said their goodbyes and jumped into the sea before swimming to the cacti-filled island.
"The hell? They could have just sailed with us for the rest of the way."
Hearing Nami being confused, the rest of the crew nodded in agreement. Yuna held her chin and looked at the duo swimming away from the ship.
'Suspicious~'
"Whatever, let's go to the island! I can see a river; let's sail there!"
Unaware of Yuna's suspicions, Luffy excitedly sat down on the figurehead of the Going Merry, his favorite spot, and pointed at the island in front of him. Obviously, he couldn't wait to explore the first island of the Grand Line.
Hearing her Captain's order, Nami quickly adjusted the course. After a few more minutes of sailing, the Going Merry was moving up the river toward the middle of the island.
Looking around, Yuna squinted her eyes and took a better look at the giant "cacti" covering the island, and after realizing their true nature, her eyebrows rose.
'Graves? Very suspicious~'
So, while Usopp was suddenly infected with the illness called: I better not visit this island fever, the Going Merry continued sailing up the river into a somewhat dense fog. However, within the fog, people could be heard whispering.
"Pirates?"
"Are those pirates?"
"Looks like a group of pirates arrived!"
As the murmuring continued, the fog was lifted, revealing that quite a few people were gathered on the river's chores, pretty much surrounding the Going Merry. Half the crew suspected an ambush, but what happened next caused even Yuna to pause.
"IT'S PIRATES!!!"
"THE HERO'S OF THE SEA!!!"
"WELCOME TO WHISKY PEAK, THE TOWN OF CELEBRATIONS!!!"
"WELCOME TO THE GRAND LINE!!!"
Surprisingly, the natives of this island happily welcomed the Straw Hats instantly, causing Yuna's suspicions about the nature of this island to reach their peak.
'Oh yeah, there definitely is something messy going on on this island.'
Since she had reached that conclusion, she quickly glanced at the rest of the crew, but she could only shake her head when she saw Luffy and Usopp happily answering the cheers.
"WOW, AWESOME!!!"
"PIRATES ARE HEROES FOR THESE PEOPLE!!!"
'I guess I shouldn't have had any expectations for these two in the first place.'
Next, her eyes wandered to Sanji, who was clearly skeptical about this.
'Good, seems like Sanji is far from dropping his guar...'
"Wow, these pirates look so cool~"
"Look at that handsome blonde man in a suit; he looks so dashing~"
"HELLO, BEAUTIFUL LADIES!!!"
'... well, he's gone. How pathetic to be swayed so easily by good-looking women.'
[I really don't want to hear that from y...]
"Wow, look at that exotic blue and red hair~"
"It looks so smooth; I wonder if she'll allow me to style it for her~
"OF COURSE YOU CAN STYLE IT FOR ME, BEAUTIFUL SISTER!!!"
[Oioi!"]
'Chill, Kurama, this is just deception.'
[I don't believe you.]
Ignoring Kurama's words for now, Yuna briefly glanced at her other two crewmates. The first thing she saw was that Zoro was utterly indifferent to the current situation. Clearly, he was rather suspicious about what was going on and might have already figured out a thing or two.
Despite that, Yuna didn't count on him too much on him when it came to a fight. After all, the easiest method to keep Zoro away from a conflict was to tell him exactly where he needed to go and then allow him to go there by himself.
Finally, Yuna's gaze landed on Nami, who was happily cheering together with Luffy, Sanji, and Usopp, but Yuna could tell that there was more to it than Nami showed.
The duo's eyes briefly met, and seeing the cunning flashing through each other's eyes, a grin briefly appeared on their faces.
Although they had only sailed together for a few weeks, they could easily read each other's intentions due to their experience when it came to scamming people. Clearly, the people on this island asked to be scammed!
It took a few minutes longer to reach a place where the Straw Hats could comfortably dock the Going Merry, and as soon as they reached the chore, they were greeted by a tall man with absolutely outrageously styled hair.
"Welc... *cough* err, ma~ ma~ ma~ I'm Igarappoi, the mayor of Whiskey Peak."
Seeing Igarappoi's curled hair, Yuna had to wonder how it was even possible to archive such a hairstyle, but at the same time, she noticed something rather interesting about the supposed "harmless" Mayor of Whiskey Peak.
'This guy has weapons hidden all over his body. That saxophone he is holding definitely isn't a normal one, and I can feel that something is hidden in those outrageous hair curls as well. Interesting~'
Unaware of Yuna's thoughts, Igarappoi happily continued talking, introducing Whiskey Peak as the town of ale brewing and music while simultaneously telling the Straw Hats that a banquet was prepared for them and that the townsfolk would be ecstatic into hearing tales of the Straw Hats' adventures.
Luffy, Sanji, and Usopp, apparently seeing no reason why a town supposedly filled with civilians would throw a banquet for people that could possibly plunder their island, rape their women and kill their men, happily agreed to the festivities, causing Nami to sigh deeply as she addressed Igarappoi.
"Sorry, but could you tell me how long it takes for the Log Pose to reset?"
"Mhh? The Log Pose? Well, let's forget about that for now, and let's party!"
Obviously, Igarappoi clearly avoided the question, which made Nami even more suspicious, but she didn't say anything for now and went with the flow.
Simultaneously, Yuna and Zoro briefly glanced at each other, and after a silent conversation, things between them were quickly hashed out: Zoro wanted to test his new blades so Yuna would allow him to do so.
Frankly, if there were any interesting fights on this island, Yuna might have pushed back a little on Zoro, handling everything by himself, but by now, she had noticed no one worth fighting against on this island.
"OHH!!! LET'S GET THE BANQUET STARTED!!! MEAT!!! BRING IN THE MEAT!!!"
Hearing Luffy's roar, Yuna only shook her head and followed him inside. Tables and chairs were already prepared for every crew member, and moments later, the party started.
Luffy instantly started consuming ungodly amounts of food, expertly using his Devil lFruit to shovel as much meat into his mouth as possible.
Yuna and Zoro immediately went for the drinks, quickly followed by Nami after she realized that the winner of the drinking competition would win a reward. She greedily chuckled away, her eyes turning into Beli.
Meanwhile, Sanji and Usopp quickly gathered a crowd around them, with Sanji's only being made up of young women with whom he was flirting while Usopp told the tale of "The Great Captain Usopp" to his audience.
Seeing Sanji flirting, Nami gave him the stink eye before her gaze landed on Yuna.
"How come you aren't flirting with women? That seems to be right up your alley, no?"
Yuna took another sip while briefly glancing at Sanji from the corner of her eyes. After emptying her cup, she shook her head while chuckling in amusement.
"Nah, I've already set my sight on a target, and that target is in this corner of the room, getting drunk."
As soon as Yuna stopped speaking, she wiggled her eyebrows at Nami, causing her to roll her eyes. However, Yuna wasn't done yet, so she continued talking while waving someone over to give her a new drink.
"Besides that, if I'm after a woman, isn't it obvious I'll go for the one with the highest quality?"
Hearing Yuna's praise, Nami's cheeks became a little pink, and she masked herself by taking a big gulp from her cup.
"You realize that I'm a money grubber, right? Is that the 'highest quality' you are talking about?"
"Meh, and I'm a perverted degenerate. No big deal..."
[Umu. I would have added a few more descriptive adjectives in front of that, but I agree.]
"... Besides that, perfection is stale; flaws are the spices of life."
"You sure are bold calling yourself something like that. But 'Spices of life', huh? What an interesting perspective."
"Bold? It's simply the truth, so it can't be helped~"
Nami couldn't help but chuckle a little, seeing Yuna proudly puff out her chest while declaring herself to be a degenerate. She took another sip and sighed in contentment.
'This ale is really tasty~'
Time passed, and one after the other, the Straw Hats crew fell asleep except for...
"HAHAHA, BRING ME MORE BOOZE!!!"
... a certain red and blue-haired woman.
Seeing Yuna continue drinking like it was nothing, Igarappoi's forehead wrinkled, and a frown appeared on his face.
'What's wrong with that woman? What kind of alcohol tolerance does she have? If this continues, the island's alcohol reserves will be gone before she is finally knocked out.'
Realizing that he had to do something, Igarappoi waved one of his subordinates over and whispered into his ear.
"Add some sleep powder to her next drink. The strongest we have."
Getting a nod, Igarappoi waited a while before a new drink was placed in front of Yuna, causing her to grab it and take another sip quickly.
The moment the strong drink entered her mouth, her drunken smile was gone, and a serious expression appeared on her face.
Seeing that, Igarappoi was sweating a little while preparing his weapons for combat.
'Has she noticed? Even if she did, she already took a sip, so she should fall asleep soon, and I only have to hold her back for a while.'
Moments later, Yuna's expression changed to one filled with anger before she loudly smashed the bottom of her drink on the table, almost causing a little to spill.
"WHAT'S THE MEANING OF THIS!?"
'Shit, she really has noticed!'
Instantly, the atmosphere grew tense as Yuna's eyes angrily scanned the room.
"What kind of barbarian has prepared this drink!? There is sleeping powder in it!"
Igarappoi lowered his body as gun barrels appeared out of his hair, ready to fire. He was just about to attack when, due to Yuna's next words, he almost tripped.
"Who the f*ck mixes strong rum with sleeping powder. YOU OBVIOUSLY HAVE TO GO FOR SOMETHING WITH A PARALISYS EFFECT!!! THIS DRINK IS RUINED!!!"
The moment she finished her rant and sat back down, grabbed her cup, and took another sip under the utterly dumbfounded eyes of Igarappoi.
"Well, that being said. Even if the drink is ruined, I'm not someone who would waste alcohol."
Just like that, Igarappoi stared at Yuna while she emptied a drink she knew was laced with poison. As if nothing had happened, she was given another refill, which she took a sip from without a second of hesitation. Feeling a little pringling feel as the drink washed down her throat, a small smile appeared on her face.
"Good! This time, it's the right kind of poison!"
'THE PEOPLE IN THE KITCHEN ACTUALLY TOOK THE ADVICE!?'
Igarappoi could feel a massive headache coming due to what was happening in front of him. When Yuna wasn't knocked out from the alcohol, he felt like he still was in control, but by now, he had not a sliver of a clue what he was supposed to do.
'Should we just attack?'
"Ah! The green-haired swordsman is gone!"
"WHAT!?"
Igarappoi could feel everything slipping away rather quickly, causing him to panic.
'Nonono, I can't fail now! We are so close to succeeding!'
"HE'S ON THE ROOF!!!"
Hearing Zoro's location, Igarappoi quickly left the restaurant where the party took place, completely forgetting about Yuna, who was still happily drinking away.
The moment Igarappoi left the house, he looked up and saw Zoro standing on a roof, sword in hand and a cocky smile on his face.
"Well, well, well. Although it didn't seem to bother her, I still can't allow you to poison one of my crew mates. Isn't that right, Baroque Works~"
"What!? HOW DO YOU KNOW THAT NAME!?"
While Igarappoi was shocked because Zoro knew the name of his organization, Yuna emptied yet another cup and sighed in satisfaction.
"Phew, that hit the spot. Nami, you can get up; it's just us two."
Nami instantly raised her head and gave Yuna a weirded-out look.
"Did you seriously drink poison just now?"
"Mhh? Yeah, no big deal~ A little poison never hurt anyone."
"Pretty sure it did."
"Oh? It did? Oh well."
"I really want to scold you for dismissing everything with an 'Oh well', but whatever. We don't have any time for that."
"Hehe, that's true. Gotta village to plunder~"
"Hehe, that's right. Let's see what the people here have stored in their saves~"
"Yup, ~ fifty-fifty?"
"I want seventy~"
"Geez, you're so greedy. But I forgive you because you're cute. That being said, Sixty-Fourty?"
"Sixtynine to Thirty-one."
"Nice! You really know how to barter with me. Very well, Sixtynine to Thirty-one, but you gave to give me a kiss on the cheek as well~"
Hearing Yuna's offer, Nami couldn't help but sigh, but she ultimately agreed with a little blush on her face. In the end, Beli is still the most important!
"Fine, you have yourself a deal!"
"Alright! Let's get looting!"
Obviously, Yuna couldn't care less about whatever they would be getting out of this city. The kiss was the most important part of the deal!
