One Piece: The Half-Blood Ninja Who Hides on the Straw Hat Ship

Chapter 537 Stay close, or you'll be haunted by negative phantoms!

After some conversation, Perona successfully accepted the fact that dwarfs exist in this world.

"So, you were just with that idiot Zoro, right?" Perona, squatting in front of the flowerbed, held Vika in her hands and said, "You two broke up for some reason."

"Yes."

Vika nodded, then looked at Perona with teary eyes and said, "Can you take me to the flower field?"

"So cute!"

Seeing the little guy with tears in his eyes, Perona felt her heart melt.

Subconsciously, she rubbed her face against the little guy, making Vika a little embarrassed.

"Please don't do this, I have important things to do..."

"6

Before she could finish speaking, she heard a series of loud footsteps, as if someone was running towards her.

Subconsciously, Perona and Vika looked in the direction of the newcomer, and then both showed speechless expressions.

"This guy..."

'

"This place looks kind of familiar."

Zoro looked around the street and asked, "Where am I?"

Perona: ...

Vika:

Seeing Zoro intently searching for a route, neither of them knew what to say.

"So..." Vika said, "you got lost again?"

"Um?"

Zoro turned around and glanced at the flower bed behind him, and he was immediately stunned.

Isn't that the little people?

No, there's also Perona!

Why is Perona here?

"You idiot!"

"Who are you calling an idiot!" Zoro retorted.

"Actually, I think she's quite right," Perona said, her lips twitching. "But it's precisely because you're an idiot that we were able to meet here."

"Well, it's not a bad thing."

Zoro:

Is this praising him or criticizing him?

It must have been a curse, right?

No, now is not the time to dwell on such things.

"Perona, we need to get to the Thousand Sunny immediately," Sauron said. "The Donquixote Family has already sent men to attack our ship."

Upon hearing this, Perona's expression immediately changed.

The little guy didn't mention this just now.

"Is that so?"

"Yes, there is." Vika nodded and said, "When I was monitoring them, I heard them planning to ambush the Straw Hat Pirates' ship."

How many people went?

"We can't confirm the exact number," Vika said. "But they said you have quite a few people, so... they probably won't send too many officers to deal with your pirate ship."

Perhaps the Donquixote Family didn't think that attacking the Straw Hat Pirates' ship was worth sending so many of their officers.

"There won't be too many people," Perona said with a sigh of relief. "That's good."

"Hello!"

Zoro stared at Perona, somewhat dumbfounded. What did she mean by "that's good"?

and many more..

It seems that with Nami's strength, she could easily take on the Donquixote Family's executives, after all, she's now a Logia-type Devil Fruit user!

Therefore, it won't be easy for the Donquixote Family to destroy their pirate ship.

"Looks like you thought of that too," Perona said. "With Nami's strength, defeating them shouldn't be a problem."

"But to make sure they're safe, I'll have to make a call and ask."

After saying that, Perona placed Vika against her chest and then took out a Den Den Mushi from her small backpack.

"Let's go, we'll talk as we walk."

"Where to?" Zoro asked.

"Of course we went to the flower field," Perona said. "Didn't this little guy say the flower field wasn't far from here?"

"Since you've already promised her, let's see her off."

Although it's unclear what grudge this kid has against Doflamingo, since he's Doflamingo's enemy, helping him is helping himself.

So Perona wouldn't mind helping the other party out.

Seeing that Perona had said that, Zoro didn't say anything more.

"This time, come with me," Perona said. "Stay close, or I'll use Negative Spectre on you."

Zoro:

After recalling the consequences of being dealt with by the Negative Ghost, Zoro instinctively shuddered.

He didn't want to die if he could.

Perona smiled upon seeing this, and then said, "Vica, you direct the route."

"Go left!"

"it is good."

Following the direction indicated by Vika, Perona quickly started running while fiddling with the Den Den Mushi in her hand.

"A cup of black tea after a battle is just perfect!"

Brooke sat on the deck, looking completely relaxed; he loved this feeling.

"Damn you guys!"

Bound tightly by seastone chains, Jorah glared angrily at the three and said, "Don't think you can threaten the Donquixote Family just because you've captured me! Young Master will definitely kill you all!"

At this point, she no longer cared whether she would be killed; she only cared whether these people would be eliminated!

"Doflamingo?"

Nami glanced at Jorah and said, "Using him to threaten us is pointless, since he can't even protect himself right now."

If their plan goes smoothly, then hell awaits Doflamingo!

By then, the other side would have no chance to retaliate against the Straw Hat Pirates.

Jorah simply sneered at this and said nothing more.

Can't even protect themselves?

"You have no idea how terrifying the young master is." Jorah thought to himself with a cold laugh: "Just wait, you'll all be driven to despair sooner or later!"

Do you really think that teaming up with that brat Law will defeat the Don Quixote family?

Stop joking!

As the former young master of the Celestial Dragons, he is not someone they can defeat!

Seeing that Jorah didn't say anything more, Nami stopped paying attention to him.

"I wonder how things are going on the other people's places," Chopper said.

He's been worried because there's still no news coming back.

"Don't worry," Nami said, "With their strength, there won't be any problems."

You see, they have a big safety net on their side, so Nami isn't worried about the safety of the others at all.

As for my own side...

Apart from this guy named Jorah, everyone else had already been killed by them, so Nami wasn't worried about the information here being leaked.

Just then, the sound of a Den Den Mushi (snail phone) came from the deck.

"Pineapple pineapple pineapple~"

"Pineapple pineapple pineapple~"

"Pineapple pineapple pineapple~"

"Den Den Mushi!"

The three people's eyes lit up at the same time upon hearing the Den Den Mushi's voice. Could it be that good news had arrived?

With that thought in mind, the three of them quickly rushed towards the Den Den Mushi.

"Kaga~"

"It's Nami," Nami quickly said. "How's it going over there?"

"Nami?"

Upon hearing that Nami was the one who answered the phone, Perona immediately breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the people responsible for attacking the Thousand Sunny had not found Nami and the others, which was good news.

"Let's not talk about our situation for now," Perona quickly said. "Nami, you need to take Brook and Chopper and get away from here. The Donquixote Family has sent some of their officers to attack you."

Although this might slow down their evacuation, it's better to stay away for Nami and the others' safety.

"You called me just for this?" Nami smiled and said, "Don't worry, nothing will happen."

"Because the person who attacked us has been captured by us."

Perona, who was about to say something, paused for a moment, then laughed and said, "You've already caught them?"

"That's just like you guys."

After saying that, Perona turned and glanced at Zoro, her eyes seeming to say: See, it was pretty much what I thought.

Those guys pose no threat to Nami and the other two.

Zoro simply nodded and didn't say anything more.

Vika looked surprised; they had actually managed to defeat the Don Quixote family's executives?

Amazing!

"Actually, neither of us did much..." Chopper said somewhat awkwardly, "It was mainly Nami who was amazing; she took down all the attacking enemies by herself."

After being turned into an abstract painting by the enemy, the two of them lost their ability to fight.

If Nami hadn't made some preparations beforehand, the three of them would definitely have died here.

"Indeed."

Brook remarked with some emotion, "As expected of Nami."

"Yohohohoho~"

Brook laughed at this point, then straightened his collar and said, "Miss Nami, you're fat."

""

"bump!"

After knocking Brook to the ground with a punch, Nami withdrew her fist and said, "I'll beat you up!"

"You've already punched him..."

""

Chopper looked at Nami with some fear. Who hits someone first and then talks?

"Hmph, let's beat him up then, he deserved it anyway!"

"Yohohohoho~"

After hearing how energetic the Den Den Mushi was, Perona and Zoro were completely relieved.

It's good that you're alright.

"Alright, since everything's fine on your end, we're not in a rush here," Perona said. "Let's continue our mission."

"Okay, be careful."

"Um.

"Kaga~"

After casually putting the Den Den Mushi into her bag, Perona said, "It seems we don't need to go to the coast."

Upon hearing this, Vika's eyes immediately lit up.

"Then can you send me to the flower field?" Vika asked expectantly.

She was now extremely eager to share the intelligence she had obtained with her comrades so that today's operation could proceed smoothly.

"That's the flower field we were just heading to," Perona said with a smile.

"That's great!"

Vika burst into laughter, laughing like a child.

"So cute."

After tapping the little guy's head with her finger, Perona exclaimed, "I never imagined that such a wondrous race as yours could exist in this world."

The Tontata clan... a race of little people!

That's so funny!

Vika felt a little helpless after being patted on the head, but she didn't say anything, since she still needed the help of these two adults.

"By the way, you said you have a grudge against Doflamingo." Zoro looked at Vika curiously and asked, "What kind of grudge?"

"They captured our comrades."

"Ah, that's a secret!"

Seeing the little guy crying again, Zoro nodded in agreement and said, "Then there is indeed a grudge."

Putting themselves in their shoes, if someone were to capture their Straw Hat Pirates crewmates, it would be a matter of life and death for them.

"If that's the case... we might even become comrades-in-arms~" Perona said with a smile.

"Comrades?"

Vika was stunned for a moment; what they were going to do was risk their lives against Doflamingo.

Will this guy be willing to fight alongside them now?

Perona didn't explain, but instead asked, "By the way, you said you're a scout, right? Do you know where the Don Quixote family's factory is located?"

"I have no idea."

Vika shook her head honestly and said, "I was responsible for monitoring the Don Quixote family's executives, not for searching for the factory's location."

"I see."

Perona looked disappointed; it seemed finding that factory wouldn't be an easy task.

With that in mind, Perona decided to say something to Zoro.

Before she could speak, Vika continued, "However, our captain should know the location of the factory."

"Ah...it's a secret!"

"Don't cry!"

Perona's eyes lit up immediately upon hearing Vika's explanation.

If we could find the factory location, it would save us a lot of trouble!

Thinking of this, Perona continued, "Vica, is your captain also in the flower field?"

"Yes, that's the person I'm going to find now."

"Very good."

Perona smiled and said, "Tell us the location of the factory when the time comes."

"What are you trying to do?"

Vika looked at Perona with a puzzled expression, clearly not expecting the other woman to say such a thing.

Do they also have designs on the factory?

"We're also eyeing Doflamingo's factory," Perona said with a chuckle. "If you're planning to destroy the factory, you can take us with you!"

Vika's eyes lit up when she saw Perona's smile.

But for the safety of her people, Vika still asked a question.

"By the way, you guys are good people, right?" Vika said earnestly.

Perona looked at Vika with some confusion. Who would ask such a strange question?

Even bad people wouldn't admit they're bad.

Also, if I say I'm a good person, will she definitely believe me?

"Is this question important?"

"Important!" Vika nodded seriously.

Upon hearing this, Perona and Zoro exchanged a glance, and then Perona said, "By all accounts... we should be considered good people on your side, right?"

Although they are pirates, Doflamingo is everyone's common enemy, so it's not wrong to say that.

"Okay, I understand!" Vika nodded seriously.

At that moment, she saw a few words in Perona.

[We're on the same side!]

The adults who are willing to destroy the factory and stand on their side...aren't they one of our own?

Perona: ? ? ?

Zoro: ? ? ?

You... you believed them so easily?

Just how naive is this little guy from the Tontatta clan?

For a moment, neither of them knew what to say.

Never mind, let's get going.
