Sumwell Island, Wharf.

Greeted by the local sheriffs, Galen, Nami, Wallace, and Tyritian embarked on their own ship.

Or rather, the sea ships that belong to them henceforth.

The original owner of this ship is none other than the Steel Knife Pirates, and there is also a pirate flag of the Steel Knife Pirates hanging on it - two crossed broadswords, a skull that is not too scary, and the composition design is extremely mediocre.

Galen wasn't a pirate, and he wasn't interested in being a pirate, so the first thing he did when he got on board was to take down the ugly pirate flag.

With the steel knife himself making his home in the box, the pirate ship naturally became a trophy for Galen to do.

And Galen himself was not satisfied with the ship:

The old canvas of the ordinary two-masted sail-powered wooden ship was stained with large black and yellow stains, and the deck, which had not been cleaned and maintained for many years, was also corroded by the seawater.

In addition to the health problems of the Steel Knife Pirates, the ship is also extremely dilapidated:

One mast was clearly scrapped from a rough repair of steel plates and nails after being broken by an external force, and there were several large holes on the deck and hull with scorched black marks, the notches of which were large enough to fit the huge Thai Rim into it.

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

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

"Can't we change the search boat?"

Galen couldn't help but say to Nami:

"This ship is so broken that I suspect it will sink to the bottom of the sea if it goes out..."

"Don't worry!"

Nami said indifferently:

"It's just some damage to the upper deck and port hull, and the mast, sails, rudders, and watertight compartments are all fine, and there is absolutely no problem with using it for sea navigation!"

"And..."

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

"Double artillery deck, extra-long keel, spacious interior capsule..."

"This medium-sized armed sea vessel is slightly renovated and refurbished, and then it is a lot of income if it is sold!"

"I see..."

Galen also had a bright eye:

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

Galen pronounced the word "I" very hard.

"You want to keep it to yourself? Obviously I have a share too! ”

Nami's face instantly darkened.

"Although the attraction of monsters can barely be regarded as a contribution..."

"But I don't have to split the account with Miss Temp who owes me my life..."

Galen said lightly, and the money-keeping instinct of the small people in the market was undoubtedly revealed:

"Why don't you wait until you get to Rogue Town, and see if you can steal it with the boat and the money?"

"Humph!"

Nami's face was flushed with a squeez, and she had to respond to Galen with a non-lethal snort.

As a little thief cat who has been at ease in the mission, Nami has experienced a feeling called "embarrassment" for the first time.

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

The tin can in front of him not only clearly knew that he was a thief, but also vaguely understood his own background experience.

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

But Nami didn't want to leave.

Not just because of the 10 million Baileys that could be in hand, but because...

For the first time, Nami meets the idiot who knows she's a thief and wants to help her...

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

Navigators, not thief cats.

This is Nami's dream.

In just one day, she felt the beauty she had not seen for a long time.

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

Then, Galen interrupted Nami's thinking with a joke:

"Nami, if you want to split the money..."

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

"Get out!"

Nami's smile that hadn't bloomed instantly froze on her face.

"Madame 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 frame on the bridge of his nose, then took out a pen and paper from his bosom and silently recorded it.

Nami quietly leaned 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.

"Hey!"

Nami clenched her fists in shame:

"Cut this one out for me! Otherwise, I..."

Before the threat could be spoken, Wallace replied without changing his face:

"As a journalist, I don't give up reporting the truth because of power!"

"What's the real thing?!"

Nami asked, blushing.

Wallace's expression was still calm:

"Proper plot prominence can increase the readability of the news story."

"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 text, undisturbed by Nami's anger.

After a long time, Wallace came to his senses from his focused work, and asked with some concern:

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

"How many days does it take to get to Rogue Town?"

Galen slashed the 10 million-level sea thief steel knife, which is already a big news that can catch people's attention in the weakest sea, the East China Sea.

The Tokai Daily, where Wallace worked, was originally a local newspaper that distributed specifically for the Tokai region.

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

After all, it was a professional navigator, and Nami replied without thinking as soon as she was asked this question:

"This time I'm going to sail along the route close to the windless zone, just in time for the natural power of the Circum-East Ocean Current."

"We can get to Rogue in two days by this route, which is twice as long as taking a passenger ship."

"Do you want to use the East China Sea gyre, which is close to the windless zone?"

Wallace, who was familiar with the customs and customs of the East China Sea, immediately heard the hidden mystery behind this, and he couldn't help but exclaim:

"It seems that Miss Nami is not shallow in navigation!"

This route is close to the windless zone, where the wind direction is treacherous and the weather is ever-changing, and the slightest mistake in the sea ship will be pushed by the wind and waves to the death Jedi windless belt to feed the sea kings.

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

"Of course!"

"I'm the best navigator in the East China Sea!"

Miss Nami accepted Wallace's praise without humility.

"Great!"

Wallace also said happily:

"News is time-sensitive."

"With a navigator of Miss Nami's calibre to lead the way, I will be able to publish the heroic deeds of the knight-sama as soon as possible!"

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

Wallace couldn't help muttering to himself with some excitement:

"A powerful knight of justice and a beautiful thief with both beauty and intelligence, this news is very selling..."

"Wait..."

Nami finally came to her senses:

"You said you were going to... What's going on?! ”

Nami's pale cheeks flushed with shame, and a clenched fist slowly approached Wallace's spotless gold-rimmed glasses:

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

"Messy stuff?"

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

"I'm a professional journalist, so it's natural to write truthful and well-developed reports based on first-hand information."

"So, I still have a few questions I'd like to interview Miss Nami in person..."

"Phew!"

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

The rest of the words were stuck in his throat.

Because a check with a long string of numbers written on it was dangling leisurely in front of Nami.

"This is the cost of the interview, and it can be exchanged for cash at the Tokai Bank in Rogue Town."

Wallace said without changing his face:

"Of course, if there's really no story worth reporting between Miss Nami and Lady Galen..."

"I'm not going to force it."

"Hmm..."

Nami hesitated for a moment, and a cute smile immediately bloomed on her face:

"Yes, yes..."

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

"You can have a story as much as you want."
