Chapter 12: Kalina the Navigator
In the East China Sea, a small boat is sailing smoothly on the sea.
On the boat, a sunny boy in a straw hat said to the pink-haired little fat man who was rowing, "The weather is so nice, Kirby." ”
"If you continue to advance like this, you will soon see a naval base." The pink-haired little fat man said with a smile.
The straw hat boy is Luffy, who has been practicing in the mountains for three years, and Luffy, who is now seventeen years old, finally embarked on the road to becoming the king of the pirates for his dream.
As for the pink-haired little fat man, it was Kirby who had just been rescued by Luffy from the female pirate Yarrita, who had a bounty of five million Bailey.
"Hey, Kebi you're really amazing, did you really get to your destination?"
Luffy, who was squatting on a small boat, asked with a smile.
"Of course, this is the most basic ability of a navigator."
Kirby smiled modestly.
When Luffy heard this, he immediately laughed "haha"!
"Now is not the time to laugh, Mr. Luffy. That famous pirate hunter Roronoa. Sauron was captured in the town ahead. ”
"Zoro? Isn't it amazing? ”
"Of course. He was like a bloodthirsty beast, harvesting the head of a bounty pirate and breaking it into pieces, and people called him a monster in human skin. ”
Kirby said in a cold sweat, as if the other party was an extremely terrifying existence.
"Well, Kirby, are there any other masters in the naval base town in front of you?"
"Huh? If you're a master, I've heard that Kidd the Strange Thief has recently appeared in the town ahead. ”
"Kidd the Thief? Who's that? Luffy asked with a cute expression.
"Mr. Luffy, you don't even know that Kidd the Strange Thief, that is the hero of the East China Sea, my idol."
Kirby seemed to hear something terrible, and subconsciously raised his voice.
"Is that thief Kidd famous?"
"Of course, I'll tell you that......"
Kirby chattered to Luffy about the legendary deeds of the monster thief Kidd in recent years, and the content was so detailed that it was like what Kirby had seen with his eyes.
Luffy also became more and more excited the more he listened, and he didn't feel hungry anymore.
"Now you know, Lord Kidd is nominally a thief, but he has helped countless people directly or indirectly, and he is a recognized hero in the East China Sea." Kirby said with a look of adoration.
"Then who is more powerful, this strange thief Kidd or the pirate hunter Zoro?" Luffy asked again.
Kirby looked thoughtful, and then said decisively: "Of course it's Lord Kidd, although the pirate hunter is strong, he definitely can't compare with Lord Kidd." ”
"Okay, I've decided!"
"Mr. Luffy, what have you decided again?"
Luffy crossed his hands on his hips and said with a very wise look, "I decided to find Kidd to be my partner!" Hahaha! ”
Kirby looked at Luffy speechlessly.
"How is it possible, that's the strange thief Kidd, the thief with a reward of 50 million, how can he get on your ship! But then again, Mr. Luffy, where is your ship? ”
Luffy ignored Kirby's sarcasm, confidently pointed to the boat at his feet, and said, "What's impossible, I'm the future One Piece." Boats, well, isn't it. ”
Kirby covered his face with one hand, looking like he had been defeated by you.
"You just invited Master Kidd like that? Mr. Luffy, it's not me who hits you, it's impossible, you better give up! ”
"Hey, Mr. Luffy, are you listening!"
Luffy, who was already immersed in his own world, had no idea what Kirby was saying.
After a long voyage, Luffy and Kirby finally arrive at the naval base town.
Looking at the endless flow of people, Kirby raised his own questions.
"Mr. Luffy, this place is so big, how are you going to find Lord Kidd?"
"What's so hard about this, look at me."
Luffy walked to the middle of the street with great confidence, put his hands on his waist and shouted, "Kidd, the thief, be my partner, let's go to the Great Voyage together." ”
Passers-by were very curious when they heard someone shouting for Kidd the thief, so they all stopped.
When I saw that it was actually a teenager, and I was ashamed to say that I wanted to find the strange thief Kidd as a partner, I suddenly lost interest.
Just kidding, how could Kidd the Strange Thief be someone else's crew?
So passers-by ignored Luffy and went their own way.
At first, Kirby really thought that Luffy would have some good way, but he didn't expect it to be such a stupid move, so he lowered his head in embarrassment and covered his face, looking like he didn't know him.
Luffy didn't have the slightest sense of shame, maybe he didn't have the concept of shame in his world at all, and he was still shouting around on his own.
"It's useless, Mr. Luffy. How could Master Kidd come out just because you called him? ”
Kirby pulled Luffy and persuaded, "Besides, Lord Kidd has only appeared here, and now he is not here, so I don't know about it." ”
At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded in Luffy's head.
"You're Luffy?"
"Yes, yes, I'm Luffy, the man who wants to become One Piece. Who are you? How is this done, and why can't anyone else hear it? ”
There was obviously a voice in his head, but Kirby couldn't hear it, which was undoubtedly as magical as discovering a new continent for Luffy.
"I'm Kidd the Monster Thief, this is my ability, I can talk directly to your brains."
As long as the mental power is strong enough, Kuaito can even talk to people thousands of kilometers away, of course, if the distance is too far, it will naturally not work.
"Wow, that's amazing!" Luffy's eyes lit up and he said excitedly.
"If you want to see me, come to the East Coast, I'll be waiting for you there!"
"Okay, go right away, don't run away!"
After saying that, Luffy immediately pulled Kirby and ran to the east coast immediately.
"What's wrong?" Kirby asked, confused.
"Kidd the Strange Thief said he was waiting for me on the East Coast!" Luffy said honestly.
"How is that possible? Mr. Luffy, you're starving! Kirby said incredulously.
"You'll know when you go."
…………
In a Western-style restaurant in the middle of town, Kaito is dining with a beautiful blue-haired girl.
Seeing that Kuaidou didn't move the knife and fork for a long time, the blue-haired girl asked, "What's wrong?" ”
Kaito showed a charming smile and said, "It's okay, it's just that there's an interesting person here." ”
At the same time, Kuaidou secretly said in his heart: The plot has finally begun, and I should also act.
The girl frowned and asked, "Is there any trouble?" ”
"Nope." Kuaidou smiled indifferently and said, "Okay, don't mention this." Karina, what are you thinking of my proposal? ”
The blue-haired girl sitting in front of Kaito is the female monster thief who appeared in the One Piece theatrical version of Golden City, Karina.
In the original book, Karina is a very popular and beautiful singer in the world's largest entertainment city, Guran Tezzolo, with a beautiful singing voice.
Although Karina only appeared in the New World, she is a native of the East China Sea.
Before heading for the Great Voyage, Karina and Nami were best friends, calling each other "Little Thief Cat" and "Vixen".
Later Nami recalls that she and Karina were together and were caught stealing the treasure hunter's vault together, but Karina abandoned Nami and fled.
However, the truth of the escape is that Karina did not abandon Nami and escape, but in order to keep both of them alive and make herself a treasure hunter's bait.
In the Golden City chapter, Karina and Nami staged a wonderful counter-plot.
Boss Gilde Tezzolo after being defeated by Luffy, when a pair of numbers appears on the ship (countdown).
At this time, Karina said that Tezzolo was going to blow up the ship and let everyone escape, and she stayed on the ship to drive the boat away to reduce the sacrifice.
However, at the end of the countdown, there are some fireworks and Karina's flag, which reads "Karina the Strange Thief has visited here".
Karina deceived everyone and monopolized the largest entertainment city in the world.
A note to Nami floated on the back sea, and it was written, "Women must survive with wisdom, don't hehehe."
Karina met Kaito after leaving the Goya Kingdom, and the two worked together for a while, but Karina never knew that she was the thief Kidd who helped Kaito.
Later, after Kaito realized Karina's identity, he also had the idea of recruiting Karina to be a navigator.
In the original book, Karina was able to sail alone to reach the new world, which shows that Karina's navigational skills are definitely not inferior to Nami.
And unlike Nami, Karina is not only a top navigator, but her own combat effectiveness is not weak, otherwise how could she reach the new world alone?
A thief who doesn't want to be a warrior is not a good navigator.
Such a top navigator who can fight, steal, and drive a ship, how can Kaito let it go.
After finishing the training, Kaito immediately invited Karina to be a navigator on his ship.
After hearing what Kaito said, Karina glanced at Kaito in a charming way, and said sarcastically, "It's really an honor that the strange thief Kidd would invite me as a thief." ”
"You're not a thief, you're a thief."
"Come less, if it weren't for inviting me on the boat, would your true identity be hidden from me for the rest of your life?" Karina said dissatisfied.
"How is that possible!" Kaito smiled bitterly.
Kidd, the strange thief, is so charming that he is not only the idol of women from all over the world, but also the idol of all thieves.
Female thieves like Karina and Nami worship Kidd the monster thief Kidd is simply blind, and it is not impossible to take the initiative to dedicate herself every minute.
When Karina knew that Kaito was the monster thief Kidd, the expression on her face was wonderful.
It's a wonderful feeling that idols are right next to them and they know each other, well, it's really amazing.
After lifting the veil of mystery about Kidd the Monster Thief, Karina discovers that the gap between the real Kaito and the Prince Charming in her fantasy is too big compared to the Kidd the Thief the Prince Charming.
Whether it is looks, bearing, strength...... There is simply no comparison.
Like himself, Kaito is just a thief who is good at using his wit, but his methods are ten thousand times better than his own.
Thinking of this, Karina felt like her faith was about to collapse.
Sure enough, idols are better to exist in the imagination.
