Whether it is in the original plot of the pirates or in the current timeline influenced by Polusalino, Nami is the most reliable one in Luffy's gang - not that her combat power or intelligence is amazing, but that in the strange Straw Hats per capita, aside from her obsession with money, her way of thinking is closest to that of a normal person.

Therefore, although Nami is angry and angry that she has been staying alone on the ship for a long time and has been deceived by Luffy, a big fool, she actually proposed an assessment of Zoro not on purpose or taking advantage of the opportunity, but with very reasonable considerations.

After all, Nami had talked to Polusalino and other navy elders, and knew that the so-called "Luffy's gang" where their group belonged was actually shouldering an important task for the navy, and it was not a real pirate group. Therefore, even if Luffy, the rough captain, doesn't matter, she, the brain of the team, must ensure that all the crew members are reliable and can carry out secret missions from the headquarters at critical moments.

And among the current members of Luffy's gang, Sanji and Luffy know each other and have grown up together since childhood; Frankie and Chopper, also because they belong to the same naval camp, she is more familiar; Only Zoro, as a true newcomer, Nami has no idea about his character, nor his combat power and strengths...... The only thing that is clear is that this guy is extremely road idiot, and has just met them by making a big fuss about the naval base.

For Nami, who has always been trained as an elite sailor, this is basically equivalent to an unacceptable hidden danger and instability. So, Nami proposes a combat test, and she must personally learn some information about Zoro to determine his qualifications and team positioning.

As far as Zoro's current performance in the first stage of the assessment is concerned, Nami thinks that he has a good sense of battle, and can switch from a relaxed state to a state of full concentration in an instant; It's not a guy with a bad personality, although the previous practice of making a big fuss about the naval base was a bit outrageous, but in the whole process, it was like switching to the back of the knife to slash just now, and there was an obvious spare; Emotional intelligence is very good, speaking and behaving or something, there is a high probability that you will not feel uncomfortable when you get along in the future; Combat effectiveness is okay, and they can keep up with their other companions who have been trained as elite mariners......

"Oh? Seriously, huh? ”

Although he was biting a knife in his mouth, Zoro's excited voice was still clear, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, "I like what your team does...... Just come on! ”

As soon as Zoro's words fell, Nami raised her hand without warning and it was a special skill of "finger gun" - flying finger gun "pulling"!

Paying full attention to Nami's hand movements, Zoro had already jumped away from the position he was standing in when Nami's fingers took a special power pose, but Nami's "weather stick" was also aimed at his head at the same moment.

“biu——”

"Bang!"

The air bullets fired from Nami's fingertips naturally returned to nothing, and the air cannon she aimed at Zoro's head was also tilted by the other party, and the air flow brushed against her cheeks to avoid it.

Even though he dodged both attacks, Zoro still had goosebumps on his body and goosebumps gradually forming - Nami's two attacks, at least ninety percent of the people he had come into contact with, could not parry.

And the air cannon is also amazing, it is actually a high-temperature gas!

"Three-knife flow - flowing water!"

This is a new move developed by Zoro after he was defeated by Hawkeye at the sea restaurant Bharati, and after learning the strength and realm of a true top swordsman.

It is no longer like his previous fierce sword posture that focuses on fierceness and indomitability, but mainly passive, and then gradually changes from passive to active. Although his previous active offensive was very good, when facing unfamiliar strong enemies, it was easy to show flaws. And if you use three knives to resist and defend against the opponent's attack, you can fight slowly and quickly, and after judging the situation, you can launch a deadly counterattack against the opponent like flowing water that moves with everything.

Zoro himself thinks that if he is allowed to face Hawkeye again with this newly developed move, he will definitely still fail miserably, but at least he can hold on for a few more seconds!

Zoro's "flowing style" surprised Nami, who thought he would take a ferocious attack, but fortunately, she simply retreated, and did not distance herself as Zoro imagined, but did the opposite, and directly pressed the "weather stick" that accumulated high heat flames against Zoro's head.

At the same time, her left hand also pulled down hard, and the very end of the weather rod suddenly "grew" a new section, and at the same time slammed into Zoro's lower plate at close range.

Who knew that Sauron was at this critical juncture, he didn't hide or dodge at all, his muscles swelled, and the pitch-black armed color domineering instantly wrapped around his body. Whether it's a high-temperature flame, or a slash-type impact, eat them all hard!

Then, after being shocked and retreating half a meter, it was logical to launch a counterattack, and the extremely sharp blade mercilessly slashed at Nami's neck, heart, waist and abdomen!

"Shave!"

The emergency use of "Shaving" only allowed Nami to barely get out of Zoro's attack range, and she simply slammed the Weather Stick on Zoro's long knife, blocking the blade that slashed in front of her.

Then she stabbed Sauron at the center of his eyebrows with another finger gun, and his fingertips covered with armed domineering colors were only less than 10 centimeters away from Sauron.

I saw Sauron brazenly cut horizontally, and the thick back of the knife hit the oncoming "finger gun".

"Bang!"

Although Nami's spear pointing skills are well practiced, her armed color domineering and pure strength are not as good as Zoro's after all. His entire arm ached, and his crooked fingertips brushed the ends of Zoro's hair. And at this time, Sauron's long-planned knife also attacked her directly in the face!

"A knife stream - a cow needle!"

Rushing forward like a bull and unleashing a continuous attack when passing by your opponent - the "Second Knife Flowing Cow Needle" can even perform more than 8 stabbing attacks in a single moment, which is Sauron's instant killing move.

But at this moment, he used it in a one-way way, and he didn't sprint to help, he just wanted to complete the ultimate penetration like a sniper bullet!

Nami's domineering spirit had already been activated, and just as the tip of Zoro's knife was about to pierce into the child's hole, his slender legs suddenly exerted force, kicking the ground, and the whole person turned over the top of Zoro's head.

In mid-air, Nami was about to use her weather rod to unleash a powerful blow from the laser beneath where Zoro was, when she saw the domineering but frantically warned of it, and out of the corner of her eye, she saw a flash of white light bursting rapidly from her left.

With no way to avoid it in mid-air, Nami simply gave up the idea of dodging, and the laser sword was released, colliding head-on with the blade that Zoro had slashed through.

Half a second later, Nami landed steadily, glanced at the laser sword module on the weather stick that had been damaged due to overuse in a short period of time, depressed her position in distress, and fired three consecutive shots from the bottom-up flying finger gun, at a tricky angle, and hit Zoro directly.

"Nami's finger gun is getting better and better!"

Sanji, who was watching the battle, held a cigarette in one hand, and smiled, and he didn't realize that the cigarette butt was about to be burned - when Nami made a big move in the air just now, he feasted his eyes and immersed himself in it.

However, just as he continued to look forward to Nami's performance-

"Hey, Sanji! Stop Nami and Zoro! Let them stop fighting! ”

Frankie ran out of the cabin, and a slightly anxious voice rang out, "The Merry's surveillance system has detected that quite a few people are approaching here!" I guess it's the sailors just now! The situation is super urgent! ”

......

Although the competition was interrupted by an unexpected situation, Nami still decisively admitted defeat - she was very sober, and the reason why she was able to show her strength with Zoro for so long was entirely because the other party did not regard her as a real enemy and did not have the intention to kill.

But that's good, she agrees with Sauron's "friend and foe model", and believes that after this competition, Sauron will approve of the tactical arrangements she made.

In short, the assessment of new members came to a perfect end. And in order to avoid the trouble of dealing with the navy, the "Golden Melly" also set sail directly.

Zoro stepped on the turf-paved deck with some surprise, and the facilities he saw were unlike any ship he had ever known.

Slides, swings, fishing spots, fruit-bearing orange trees, parasols...... More like a small amusement park on the sea than a pirate ship?

There is no mainmast with sails on it, but at the top of it there is a lookout, and below it, there is some special device that rolls up like a scroll.

Nami and Sanji go to the control room, Frankie goes to help repair Nami's newly damaged weather stick, and Luffy finally finds the feeling of captain, and triumphantly takes Zoro to start introducing him to various areas of the ship.

"The first floor is our boys' room, this one! This one! This one! And this! How's that, pretty good, right? ”

Although I really want to say some nice descriptors, but limited by cultural literacy, Luffy can only dance to convey the most simple emotions.

"On the second floor, there is ...... Restaurant! Yes! It's time to eat! ”

"Hey! Do you only introduce sleeping places and restaurants!

What kind of captain are you?

”

Although he complained to Luffy speechlessly, after all, it was indeed time to eat, and he expected Luffy to introduce the regional facilities on the ship, so it was better to know it after a period of time in his follow-up life, so Zoro still came to the kitchen restaurant located in the center of the ship with him.

Inside the kitchen restaurant, there are all kinds of high-end kitchen utensils that Nami and Sanji took directly from Marin Fando, and these kitchen utensils, including the refrigerator, are all equipped with combination locks to prevent Luffy from harming the place.

Sauron sat honestly at the bar and stared at the miniature aquarium not far away—a fish tank with an entire wall, where you can watch all kinds of fish, but more importantly, connect the lifting facilities to the kitchen. There is a lot of liquor next to the entrance, and there is a passage inside the tank, and even the ladder inside is a fish tank.

For some reason, Zoro always felt that, with what he had learned about Luffy and his gang so far, this fish bowl might not really be an ornamental fish bowl - maybe there would be some secret weapon hidden, just like Nami's ever-changing weather stick.

】

"Oh!

This was delicious!!"

After setting up the automatic sailing program with Nami, Sanji returns to the main battlefield of the kitchen, and quickly serves a delicious meal to his friends.

Although Zoro used all the bounties of the pirates he hunted on weekdays to enjoy eating and drinking, Sanji's cooking still made him very recognized.

"Hey, Green Algae, you know what's next, right?"

Seeing that Zoro sincerely praised his cooking skills, Sanji took the rare initiative to talk to him.

"I don't know, do I need to know?"

Sauron put down his glass, confused.

“......”

Sanji and the three looked at each other, while Luffy laughed:

"Well said! You'll just have to listen to me, Captain, Sauron! ”

Ignoring Luffy's gibberish, Zoro continued to explain:

"I came to your ship just because following you, I can see all kinds of swordsmanship powerhouses, and I also have a better chance to meet the world's number one swordsman, Hawkeye...... The Admiral of your navy, Polusalino, and Hawkeye himself, have confirmed these two points to me before. ”

"Huh? General Polusalino? Did he confirm with you? ”

Hearing this, his face turned into Luffy in a daze, and he turned his head to the three of Nami, "Hey, Nami, how can there be a matter of Admiral Polusalino?" He ......"

As he spoke, Luffy suddenly seemed to think of something, touched his chin suspiciously, and swept his gaze over the three Nami who were smiling nervously, and then fell on Zoro who was frantically stuffed into his mouth by Sanji:

"I feel ......"

"Huh? Is there something you're hiding from me? ”
