Starting with two Kamui, they raised the flag of rebellion in One Piece.

How did you know I stole the money?

The sailor looked at Li Mingyuan and said incredulously, "Your body search was not serious at all, and the method was not professional. Logically speaking, you shouldn't have found anything. In addition, you skipped over it too quickly. If you had searched properly, I might still be among the sailors when the ship sank. That's why I initially thought I could hide it and get away with it."

"So, you knew from the beginning that I stole it?"

Li Mingyuan did not answer the sailors' questions immediately.

After a second or two of silence, he spoke up: "You're actually a woman, aren't you?"

"I noticed it when I was killing the fishman with my sword. You were wearing a breast wrap, and your outline was faintly visible through your sweat-dampened clothes."

"Huh?!"

The sudden change of topic startled the sailor, who cried out in surprise and froze.

"Even the cooks on this ship are men; there isn't a single woman. Although you've made yourself look disheveled and covered in dirt, and you smell of sourness, making you no different from the sailors in the lower decks, there are only so many reasons why a woman would hide her identity and board this ship."

"Besides, your actions were far too unnatural. The other sailors were all taking cover below deck to avoid the fighting, afraid of being hit by stray bullets, but you remained on deck after the chaos broke out. You must have known that there was no point in running away, right? Whether I or the fishmen win, you have no other choice in the end. You simply give up and stay on deck to watch what happens next. Or perhaps you're secretly hoping for an opportunity to finish them off in a mutually destructive battle?"

"In any case, I couldn't find a second person as suspicious as you."

"So, I chose you."

Li Mingyuan stared into the sailor's eyes and said calmly, "Is this the reason you're satisfied with?"

"No, no, no, no!"

"Are you even human? How could a normal person see so much in less than a second of contact?!"

The sailor stared at Li Mingyuan in shock. "And why are you discussing other people's breast wraps so casually?!"

“Please spare me…”

The sailor scratched his head in frustration, then lowered his head. "Did I really give myself away because of something like this? This is the most ridiculous blunder of my thieving career..."

"Ughhhhh!! Seriously! Why did this happen?!"

The sailor felt like he was about to split open.

If she had known the reason beforehand, she would have been more at ease not to ask. Now that she knows the truth and discovers such a flaw, her savings of so many years are about to vanish.

Thinking of this, her heart began to bleed, and she felt like crying but had no tears.

Seeing the sailor's expression, Li Mingyuan chuckled, "So, what's your name?"

"Kalina."

The sailor hesitated for a moment, but then sighed and replied, "Just call me Karina, that's my real name."

"Ugh~ If my colleagues knew what I'm like now, they'd definitely laugh at me."

At this point, Karina curled up into a ball, burying her head in her arms.

She mumbled something, the sound coming from her arm.

"Let me make this clear beforehand: you were just lucky this time to find the flaw on a ship without any women. Normally, I wouldn't conceal my gender when carrying out my mission."

"Don't underestimate me just because I'm a woman."

Li Mingyuan shook his head slightly, ignoring Karina's words and simply looking at the girl in front of him who resembled a man.

Many scenes from the movies he had seen before flashed through his mind, but no matter what he did, he couldn't make eye contact with the person in front of him.

As for disguise, Karina truly deserves to be called the phantom thief who is both an enemy and a friend of Nami. Even though he had seen her several times during the voyage a few days ago, he couldn't tell that she was a woman, let alone a named female character from the original work.

If he hadn't been using his Sharingan when he rushed to Karina's side and drew his sword, which boosted his perception several levels above normal, he probably still wouldn't have been able to see through her true form and catch this "vixen."

Karina.

Or, in some translations, she is referred to as Karina.

She first appeared in "One Piece Film: Gold" and is a rare singer in One Piece. Not only is she beautiful and has a beautiful voice, but what is even more noteworthy is that she is also a thief under this identity.

She had a complicated relationship with Nami that lasted for years. They were both enemies and friends, competitors, but also often cooperated to steal targets. The last time the two met was during a failed collaboration.

During a joint attempt to steal from a treasure hunter's vault, they were captured. Karina escaped in the chaos, leaving Nami trapped. However, Karina had actually used herself as bait to lure the treasure hunters into a trap.

Nami later realized that the other party did it to save her, and therefore, when they met again in the movie, the two cooperated once more and their relationship became very close.

Yes.

In fact, the reason Li Mingyuan chose to let Karina go was simply because she was a character from the original work.

His initial plan was that after catching the thief, he would at least hand him over to the crew to deal with, even if he didn't dismember him. In any case, it was unlikely to end well.

Even now, Li Mingyuan's decision to let the other party go is not due to any noble or righteous reason.

It's simple: I've fallen for him.

He has a natural fondness for all the female characters in the original work. If he has the opportunity in the future, he would like to bring Karina to his side as his wife. Unlike the abstinence in the Naruto world, he seriously plans to leave offspring in the One Piece world.

In addition, doing so is more valuable in a practical sense.

Regardless of whether Nami would still go with him if he really killed Karina, since the other party was willing to pay for her life, it wasn't out of the question. 2000 million Berries was his starting capital.

Judging solely from Karina's strategic acumen and master thief skills displayed in the movie, if he could recruit her into his team as an intelligence operative, she would be a valuable asset even if she didn't become his wife.

However, apart from these, Karina's combat skills are limited, and she doesn't have Nami's navigator talent. Therefore, he won't give up the idea of ​​subduing Nami just because she's right in front of him. Li Mingyuan's destination hasn't changed; it's still Arlong Paradise.
