"Arthur... Arthur, wake up..."
The sky was still dark. Arthur, who had fallen asleep in the wee hours of the previous night, was dragged out of his sleep in a daze.
He slowly opened his eyes, and his blurry vision was occupied by a figure.
"What's wrong?" Arthur rubbed his eyes and yawned lazily.
He was extremely alert. If there was any movement, his Intuition (A) and the domineering aura of the sight would alert him automatically. He would also wake up if anyone else approached him, but Nami was not one of them.
"Lord Wind Sword, Lord Knight, Great Lord Arthur…Can I ask you for a favor?”Nami put her palms together and made a gesture of praying to Buddha as she pleaded.
"Don't be like this, I'm not used to it…" Arthur wanted to move his body, but Nami held him down. He looked at Nami, who was blinking with a cute and innocent face, and he could only give up helplessly."Yes, yes…tell me, what do you need my help with?”
"Hehe..."
Nami giggled and suddenly bent down. She hugged Arthur's head with both hands and gently kissed his forehead. She stared at Arthur with her orange eyes and said seriously,""Arthur, can you release the woman outside?”
"Do you have a fever? "Let me see…"
Arthur smiled and placed his chin on Nami's cleavage. He looked up and pretended to be confused as he reached out to Nami's forehead.
"Aiya…I'm serious, I'm very serious.”Nami grabbed Arthur's hand and said coquettishly.
"What happened in the past few days? The little thieving cat that only loved Bailey and oranges had changed its nature. It didn't even want 79 million Bailey.”Arthur broke free from Nami's embrace and lay back down. He put his hands behind his head and stared at Nami."Tell me, give me a reason to convince me.”
"I just feel that she's very pitiful…" Nami didn't continue to act coquettishly and said dejectedly,""Before I met you, I always thought that I was already miserable enough, but I didn't expect that there would be someone who was even more miserable than me. Not only did she lose her hometown, but she also lived a life of being hunted down at a young age. Compared to her, I still have Nouqigao and Jian, and now I have you. She's already pitiful enough. If I give her to the navy to exchange for a reward, I really can't bear it.”
"So that's how it is. Did it resonate?”Arthur looked enlightened. He pinched Nami's cheek and smiled."In that case, let her go.”
"Eh?"
Nami was slightly stunned when she heard Arthur's straightforward words. She looked at Arthur in confusion.
Arthur seemed to understand Nami's confusion and said softly,""Nicole Robin. Rumor has it that when she was eight years old, she was wanted for destroying six naval warships and was called the Son of the Devil.”
"How did you know?" Nami couldn't help but ask if she knew about it after hearing Robin's story. How did Arthur know about it?
Arthur looked the same age as her, but he knew so much about Robin's childhood.
"Idiot." Arthur poked Nami's forehead and rolled his eyes."Does she look like a powerful person to you? If he could destroy six naval warships at the age of eight, would he be caught by me now? Besides, you didn't really think that I would let you watch over her alone these past few days, did you?”
"I see." Nami pinched her chin and nodded thoughtfully. She was even more convinced of Robin's words.
Previously, Nami was skeptical because her emotions couldn't lie. Now, after Arthur's confirmation, she couldn't help but have a thought.
Nami lowered her head and said to Arthur seriously,""Arthur, shall we invite her to be our companion?”
Nami had thought about this for a long time. Before she came to wake Arthur up, she had this idea. However, she couldn't make up her mind. She didn't know if Robin was making up a story to lie to her, so she didn't dare to make up her mind.
Now, she believed in Arthur, so she believed in Robin's story.
Nami truly wanted to make such a 'senior' who had the same experience as her and who had not been able to go through thick and thin with her as her companion.
"Hey, hey, don't be so impulsive. You know, she's a wanted criminal, a wanted criminal worth 79 million Bailey.”Arthur waved his hand in front of Nami's eyes and reminded her,""If the navy finds out that we're covering for her, we'll most likely be wanted and turn from bounty hunters to pirates. We won't be able to hunt pirates for money in the future.”
"This…"
Hearing this, Nami, who was originally determined, couldn't help but hesitate.
The scales in his heart began to tilt. Should he lean towards Bailey or his rare 'friend'?
"Alright, don't think too much.”Arthur gave Nami an idea.""Let her go first. We'll get along with her for a while and observe her for a while. We'll see if she's a liar or if she's sincere in wanting to be our companion.”
"Mm, mm…"
Nami nodded quickly. Indeed, she couldn't trust someone so easily, especially because the other party might lose a job that was easy to earn money. She was a slave to money, and her thoughts were shaken.
