Simultaneous traversal: All Abyss difficulty.

Chapter 326 Marching Towards the Sky Island

Nami shook her wet hair, her face instantly breaking into a sweet smile, and she walked briskly toward Carrot.

She blinked her big, watery eyes and said in a sweet voice, "Oh my, this lovely bunny girl, you were so amazing just now! If it weren't for you, I would have been in big trouble today!"

Carrot scratched her head. "No, no, it's not like that. I accidentally bumped into you. Are you alright?"

"Ouch~" Nami suddenly cried out in a coquettish voice, squatting down and clutching her ankle. "Oh, it looks like it's broken!"

"Aaaaaah! It broke! It broke!"

"Yeah, it broke." Nami said, while continuing to look around. "My... my boat is broken. Can you give me a ride?"

Carrot covered her mouth, "This... shouldn't we be seeing a doctor first? You've already broken it!"

Nami shook her head. "I... I don't have any money. I can't afford to see a doctor. That's fine then. It'll take about a year or two to recover."

Carrot turned to Fang Yu: "Captain, is it...is it alright?"

Fang Yu came here specifically for Nami. He smiled slightly and said, "My crew member caused trouble, so of course they should take responsibility. This lady can leave whenever her foot is healed."

Nami's eyes flashed with a barely perceptible glint of triumphant cunning, before she switched to a pitiful expression. She had figured out that Carrot's influence on the ship was probably negligible.

Nami thought to herself, 'This Fifth Emperor, is he actually a bunny girl fetishist?'

She suddenly hopped on one foot and got close to Carrot, water droplets from her hair splashing onto the other's fluffy ears. Pointing to a few flowerpots, she exclaimed, "Wow! Bunny-eared sister's carrots are so cute!" Her fingertips deliberately brushed against Carrot's soft paws. "Did you grow them yourself? Unlike me, I can't even tell the difference between carrots and lettuce." As she spoke, she "accidentally" rubbed the hem of her wet clothes against Carrot's T-shirt, instantly revealing her scheming.

Nami wanted to see if a wet Carrot could arouse the desires of the "Fifth Emperor".

"Ah! You like carrots too?" Carrot didn't care that Nami had gotten her clothes wet, and instead grabbed Nami's hand and jumped up.

The four dice bounced up and down, and Nami glanced at Fang Yu out of the corner of her eye.
However, Fang Yu didn't pay any attention to this and turned around to sit back in his old spot to bask in the sun.

Nami was wiping the corners of her eyes with her wet sleeve to fake tear stains when she suddenly heard a cracking sound of bones colliding.

She instinctively turned around, her pupils suddenly shrinking to pinpoints—a moving skeleton was walking towards her, carrying a bone china teacup!
"And who is this beautiful lady who is wet?" Brooke asked, seemingly calmly.

"Ah!" Nami stumbled back three steps barefoot, crashing into the mast. Her soaked orange hair left a water stain on the wooden hull. "The skeleton is talking!" Her finger trembled as she pointed at Brook's empty ribcage. Suddenly remembering something, she covered her shorts, the wet fabric leaving a transparent mark on her thighs from the movement. "Could it be...could it be here to collect my soul?"

Brook said, "I'm a Devil Fruit user~ Actually, my physical body died a long time ago, and now I'm just a skeleton."

Brooke's tone changed, his voice rising a few decibels: "May I take a look at Miss's panties?"

In an instant, Nami's eyes darted around, and she suddenly knelt down with a thud, tears sliding down her collarbone and into her collar. "Ghost, have mercy!" she cried, deliberately letting the torn collar rise and fall with her breath. "You see, I'm dressed in rags, there's really nothing of value in these clothes," her eyelashes fluttering slightly. "How about... we wait until they're dry?"

Although there were three women on the ship, none of them were as adept at using their bodies as Nami. Brook immediately coughed up blood from his nose, and the recoil propelled him into the sea.
The commotion outside alerted the others, who all came to the deck.

Nico Robin immediately recognized Nami's face.

I thought about it.

Isn't this just a carbon copy of myself?

Independent, calculating, and purposeful.
"Hello, I'm Nico Robin, an archaeologist." Nami instantly switched to an admiring expression, her hands clasped together, causing the collar of her wet clothes to open slightly: "Ah! An archaeologist! An adventurer!" Nami suddenly looked dejected and lowered her head, "I can't even calculate the scale of a sea chart properly. If only I were as smart as you..." Suddenly, she looked up, her eyes just right, reddening slightly, "Could you... teach this useless person like me?"

Nico Robin grinned. "Of course."

After greeting Nico Robin, Nami suddenly bowed ninety degrees, letting her wet hair sweep across the deck, facing Vivi directly: "Thank you so much for the Alabasta ship! You must be the owner of the ship!"

Nami, being well-informed, knew that this was a valuable royal ship from Alabasta, which is why she had planned everything from afar to get closer to it.

"Thank you so much!"

When Nami looked up, glistening droplets of water—whether from seawater or tears—were indistinguishable. "If only I had your magnanimity," she said, tearing a larger rift in her tattered clothes, "I wouldn't be chased by those thugs demanding repayment."

Hearing this, Perona, a tea connoisseur, couldn't hold back any longer. She clenched her fists and walked towards Fang Yu.

"Hey! Are you going to let this woman board the ship?"

"What else?" Fang Yu tilted his head.

"You're such an idiot! Can't you see this woman has ulterior motives? She... she might be a spy for the World Government, a Marine agent or something!"

Fang Yu yawned, flipped open the newspaper and glanced at Perona: "No, she's after money, the treasures of the Alabasta royal family."

After saying that, he covered his face with the newspaper again.

Perona flipped open the newspaper, speechless. "You know why you're keeping her around! There's not much money on the ship, but we can't let someone steal it!"

Fang Yu snatched the newspaper back. "Don't worry, I'll win her over with love."

Perona stomped her feet in anger, put her hands on her hips, and glared at Fang Yu. "Use love to reform her? Do you think this is a fairy tale? She looks like a cunning little thief, how could she be so easily reformed!"

Fang Yu simply lay on the deck chair, crossed his legs, and leisurely swung the newspaper in his hand, saying unhurriedly, "Oh, Perona, don't worry about it. I know what I'm doing. Maybe she'll become a valuable assistant on our ship in the future."

At this moment, Nami and Vivi were already chatting enthusiastically.

Vivi was a little embarrassed by Nami's compliments, and her cheeks flushed slightly. "Don't say that. It's only right for us to help each other when we're traveling. If you don't mind, you can stay on the ship and recover from your injuries."

A hint of triumphant joy flashed in Nami's eyes, and she nodded quickly, "Thank you so much, Your Highness. You are so kind. I don't know how to repay you."

Meanwhile, Carrot was enthusiastically introducing Nami to all sorts of gadgets on the ship, especially the radish plants she had been carefully tending to.

"Look at this radish, how plump it is! I planted it with great care, and I look forward to it growing every day!"

Nami forced a smile that revealed her impatience: "From now on, I'll plant radishes with you, hehe."

Fang Yu, who was lying down and secretly listening to the conversation, couldn't help but complain: "Planting radishes, you're already being lenient by not pulling them all out."

Fang Yu lifted the newspaper and looked towards the horizon.

He seemed to already see the shadow of the Sky Island in the sky.
