"I see..."
Nami nodded after hearing Arthur's explanation."Then why are we here?"
Arthur was a bounty hunter, but that didn't mean Nami liked bounty hunters.
After eight years of experience, Nami, who had mixed in with various pirate groups and was able to escape unscathed every time, had this feeling towards bounty hunters.
Bingou, a money slave like her, and a killer.
This could be seen from the fear of people with the title of Sauron Pirate Hunter.
Not everyone was Arthur, and no bounty hunter had a good reputation like the Wind Blade Knight.
It should be known that Nami had cooperated with Arthur because of his chivalrous demeanor. He treated money like dirt, what he did to Orange Town, and the Eastern Sea's sincerity to him.
The most important thing was that the 10 million Bailey gift had increased Nami's impression of Arthur.
Of course, Nami's initial goal in working with Arthur was to use him as a tool to make money.
After spending some time with Arthur and understanding his personality and character, she was gradually conquered by his charm. That night when she tore off the curtain and broke the cage of the Evil Dragon Pirates, she completely fell in love with him.
This process was very short, but it was very complicated.
If Arthur didn't know the plot, Nami's personality, and most importantly, her looks and temperament…he wouldn't have been able to clear it in his entire life, let alone a month.
It was still the same sentence that had never changed-beauty was justice.
"There is an important person on that island. He might have something we need.”
"Permanent pointer?" Nami instantly understood, and her eyes lit up.
"That's right…"
Arthur was talking about Ikaram. He was the captain of the guards of the Kingdom of Arabastan. In order to protect Princess Vivian and investigate the secrets of Baroque Workshop, he had infiltrated Baroque Workshop with Princess Vivian as a spy. They were now on this island.
He had a permanent pointer to Alabastan, so the chances were high.
Arthur knew about this route. The next island was the small garden, and it would take a year for it to be filled with magnetic force.
Even though Mr. 3 might already be there, and he must have a permanent pointer in his hand, Arthur didn't want to go.
Arthur clearly remembered that Nami was bitten by a poisonous bug there and had a high fever. If it wasn't for Dr. Kuleha and Choba from Drum Island, she might have died.
Arthur's heart ached when he thought of Nami's painful appearance.
Arthur didn't know if this world had the ability to restore story plots, but he didn't dare to bet on it.
Arthur had already made up his mind. If Ikarim didn't have a permanent pointer, he would wait for Luffy to arrive on this island. Then, he would ask Nicole and Robin for it. If they didn't give it to him, he would snatch it.
The small cabin sailboat sailed toward Whiskey Peak. It passed through a thin layer of mist and soon entered the dock.
They arrived at the island smoothly and did not receive the same treatment as Luffy. The bounty hunters were like ordinary townspeople, ignoring Arthur and Nami.
Of course, Nami, who often came into contact with the dark side of the sea, sensed many peeping gazes. Those gazes were mixed with malice.
It was hidden so deeply that ordinary people could not detect it.
At this moment, Nami believed Arthur's words without a doubt, and her eyes were filled with vigilance.
"Take all the money and pretend that nothing happened.”Arthur said softly as he stroked her orange hair.
"Yes." Nami nodded and walked into the cabin. Arthur also started to anchor.
After a while, Nami walked out with two black boxes. The two of them stepped onto the shore and walked toward the town.
Not long after they left, several figures suddenly walked out of the mist and quietly approached the sailboat, beginning to plunder it.
Their actions were detected by Arthur's Sight and Perception.
Even Nami could sense the malicious gazes, let alone Arthur, who had Intuition (A) and the domineering aura of the Sentinel. He could already sense the Sentinel's gaze from a distance.
They didn't gather, probably because the sentries saw that Arthur's ship was an ordinary sailboat with a small cabin. There was no pirate flag on the mast, so it was unlikely that it was a pirate.
They should be ordinary people who came to this island to buy supplies.
Therefore, they didn't inform their companions. Instead, they secretly waited for Arthur and the others to leave. Then, they sneaked into Arthur's ship and searched for anything good.
Arthur had Nami bring all the money with her.
The bounty hunters who had tried to kill Labu due to the food crisis would probably empty all the ingredients.
Food did not matter. There were so many sea beasts in the great sea route that they were like carps crossing the river. To Arthur, food was almost everywhere.
"I hope he doesn't know what's good for him. Otherwise, don't blame him for being heartless," Arthur thought to himself.
The two of them passed through a small path and soon arrived at the town.
Just like how poverty led to a food crisis, the town looked very dilapidated, and a heavy atmosphere pervaded the air.
There were very few pedestrians on the streets, and none of them looked like good people.
Arthur and Nami appeared. The two of them were dressed in bright clothes, and their auras were completely out of place. It was obvious that they came from outside.
Everyone who noticed Arthur and Nami was surprised.
"Handsome sir, beautiful miss, may I ask if you two need any help?”A man quickly walked up to him, rubbed his palms, and said with enthusiasm.
Arthur and Nami noticed that the man was secretly staring at the two boxes in Nami's hands.
As expected of a bounty hunter, his sense of money was extraordinary.
Arthur pretended not to know the details of this place and smiled.""I just came to this town. Can I meet your mayor? We have a business to discuss with him.”
As if responding to Arthur, Nami raised the box in her hand and smiled meaningfully.
Business!
Hearing this, the man's eyes lit up. Since there was business, it meant that the town had income.
"No problem…no problem…please follow me.”
Suddenly, the man did not think about the flaws in his words. He acted like he was serving a boss and led the way with a worrying IQ.
Arthur and Nami exchanged a glance, smiled, and followed.
