[Grand Line: Near the Sabaody Archipelago.]
"What?! We're still not heading for the New World?!!" The confusion was clear on the faces of the Heart Pirates due to their captain's decision.
"We'll wait for the right moment… That's all I'm saying," said Trafalgar Law, relaxing on Bepo's soft fur.
"No need to get hasty. It's not as if the One Piece is going anywhere."
"Even so, with Blackbeard and his crew causing chaos…"
"If pirates are taking each other out, it's better for us. No need to get involved in petty squabbles." Law was particularly cautious of Blackbeard.
"Now stop chattering and just follow my lead."
"When there's a position I need… I'll take it!!!" He was also aiming for a specific goal.
"Captaaaain!!"Hearing this, the crew members got excited.
•———•———•———•———•
"This caution and patience… It seems Law has gained some insight from Luffy's current situation."
On Flevance Island, Trafalgar D. Chris was pleased to see his son's counterpart thinking in this way.
What would Trafalgar Law gain from rushing his crew to the New World? Nothing. Perhaps he would lose far more.
Chris could see this clearly, even though he hadn't experienced the horrors of the New World firsthand. He could already imagine them through the many hints dropped in the manga thus far.
After all, the New World was home to the world's most powerful pirates; in other words, all the real competitors were there.
"I wonder what this kid is aiming to achieve? What 'position' does he mean?"
Beside Chris was Mary, holding little Law in her arms, preventing him from trying to grab the heavy volume.
"Even I can't think of anything," he said. "The only available position worth competing for is Shichibukai, but why would Law want to take that title and bind himself to serve the World Government scoundrels?"
"I don't think my son, a member of the D., would do something so shameful," Chris replied firmly.
"Unless…"
"Unless what?" Mary, too, couldn't believe Law would go against his nature, but what if Law had a compelling reason?
"Unless he wants to use the Shichibukai position to achieve a specific goal, just like Teach did…" Chris responded insightfully.
He then added, "But it's hard to imagine the Five Elders being so foolish as to allow themselves to be manipulated again."
…
"What a sneaky little girl!"
High above the sea, on the sky island of Birka, Haredas and his companions were wide-eyed as they looked at the manga pages.
Their supposed older and wiser counterparts were being outwitted by a young girl.
"Instead of sincerely apologizing, she made them apologize to her instead!"
"What a cheeky little thief! No respect for her elders!"
"Well, well, it's Nami, after all. Despite her cunning nature, she's a good kid."
"We all know that. I'm just fascinated to see scenes like these! I never thought I'd live to see my old self deal directly with Nami in person!"
Haredas's elderly friends had all gathered at Birka today specifically to enjoy One Piece manga, setting aside their ongoing research on the small sky island of Weatheria.
Hearing this, Haredas felt moved as well. As the old man who would personally teach Nami, he was the happiest of them all.
His eyes sparkled as he read the following scenes intently.
•———•———•———•———•
"Haredas-san! Teach me everything you know about the New World's weather!!"
After grasping Luffy's hidden message, Nami formally requested Haredas's mentorship.
"You're certainly a hasty one…" replied Haredas.
"Well, of course, I am!"
"The lives of my entire crew are on the line!! I'm their navigator!! When they're crossing those waves, I bear a huge responsibility!!"
Nami didn't stop there; she continued explaining everything, especially given her captain's bold nature.
"I have to be ready to take them anywhere the captain decides to go!! And Luffy is determined to become the Pirate King, so I can't be content with just any ordinary navigator's skills, either!!"
Hearing this, Haredas was surprised, then laughed:
"That sounds like a fine captain you have there, inspiring such loyalty from his crew…!"
"He always does the craziest things…"
Remembering when Luffy fought Arlong for her, Nami's resolve to learn and challenge herself for him grew stronger.
•———•———•———•———•
"So Nami will be my student…"
Haredas was thrilled to see this exciting twist in the story.
"Bartholomew Kuma did the right thing sending you to the Weather Scientists' Paradise. This is the only place where the best navigator ever could graduate!"
"Who said Nami-san would be solely your student? She's our student, too!"
"Don't be arrogant, Haredas! Nami belongs to all of us!"
"What's your problem, you old fool? Do you think you're the best? We're all great Weatheria scientists!"
"Stop spewing nonsense! None of you are on my level!"
It seemed like Haredas and his old friends were on the brink of another dispute in this part of the art store.
Urouge gave them a glance before continuing to read the manga without paying them any further attention.
…
East Blue:
"This place?"
Bell-mére and Rob emerged from the private section of the unfamiliar art store.
It was unfamiliar to Bell-mére, but for Rob, it was his own store, and he knew it well.
With a simple wave, Rob signaled the store's goddesses not to give him much attention and focus on their tasks.
"This is the art store in the Kingdom of Oykot, in the East Blue," Rob replied.
"Oykot Kingdom? Why does this place feel familiar?"
Bell-mére felt like she had heard that name before.
"Well, maybe you heard about it in the manga and anime…" Rob smiled.
Just as he expected, Bell-mére immediately remembered with just a hint. "Ah! Isn't this the kingdom where my counterpart first met Nojiko and Nami!?"
Bell-mére covered her mouth as she considered a certain possibility.
If there was any place on this earth where Nojiko and Nami would have a chance of appearing, it was here.
Unlike the tragic background of this kingdom in the manga, where it was destroyed by pirates despite the Marines' resistance, in this reality, Rob, his art store, and the hunters prevented that. The kingdom and its people continued to exist and live in peace.
The only incident happened a year ago when Shiki tried to destroy this place to prevent Nami's birth, but Rob stopped him and imprisoned him afterward.
Among the people of the kingdom living in peace was a young woman with dark orange hair.
Rob looked at this woman who was reading the manga with a gentle expression. Bell-mére followed his gaze and gasped quietly, for this woman resembled Nami greatly—a mature version of her.
"She's Nami's biological mother. She hasn't yet found Nami's father in this life… She already feels a strong connection to Nami and wishes she could have her in the future," Rob said calmly.
"It's your choice now. Will you allow her to have Nami, or will you take this destiny into your own hands… The choice is yours."
