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

In fact, although Li Mingyuan felt that his memory was pretty good, it was an undeniable objective fact that his memory level was still within the range of normal human beings, and he would still forget many things over time.

It's fortunate that he remembers the movie "Golden Island" clearly, but it's not surprising that he might forget other movies or other related content later on.

Therefore, compared to relying on memory, written records are clearly more reliable.

After putting down the nautical log, Li Mingyuan thought for a moment and then took out a second notebook from his pocket—a miniature notebook that was significantly smaller than the nautical log.

This was specially prepared by Li Mingyuan so that he could carry it in his pocket and jot down whatever came to mind.

"Now that the boring nautical log has come to a temporary end, it's time to move on to the transmigrator's log. Let me see... Hmm, yesterday I was recalling the plot of the Strong World and recorded all the details that I still remembered. In addition, I also wrote down some fragments of the recap movie about Old Crocodile."

"What should we reminisce about today?"

Compared to the bland and tasteless nautical log, the time traveler's memoir was obviously much more interesting. Looking at the second notebook in his hand, Li Mingyuan's expression became much more lively, and his look became quite interesting.

However, just as Li Mingyuan was thinking of something, before he could even write a few words in his notebook...

Not far from the deck, a series of footsteps approached slowly, interrupting his actions.

"Um?"

Li Mingyuan looked up and saw that it was Nami.

Wearing a cool tank top and shorts, Nami was holding a glass of milk and dragging a recliner just like the one Li Mingyuan had, as she walked to his side.

"The weather is pretty good today. I'm thinking of learning from you, Captain, and sunbathing a bit."

"Do you mind if I squeeze in here a little?"

Nami set up the recliner and parasol, raised the milk in her hand to Li Mingyuan, and smiled with a relaxed expression.

Li Mingyuan naturally had no objection to this.

"Whatever you like."

As he said this, Li Mingyuan naturally lowered his head, preparing to continue writing in his diary.

They didn't seem to care at all whether their attitude was a bit too perfunctory.

Since setting sail with Nami and Karina as companions, the three of them have spent twenty-two days together on this ship, including the time it took to return to the first island.

Therefore, during this period, apart from Karina, whose "death countdown" was still closing in on her, Li Mingyuan and Nami gradually became familiar with each other as they interacted more.

Nami is no longer as reserved as she was at the beginning in Cocoyasi Village. She is becoming more and more accustomed to and understanding of Li Mingyuan's personality and style. Li Mingyuan is also gradually letting go of his perception of animation and treating her as a real person.

Both sides are working diligently to improve their mutual goodwill.

Now, Nami no longer feels any aversion to being around Li Mingyuan.

"How indifferent! Where did all the enthusiasm go when we were on the island?"

Seeing that Li Mingyuan was still busy with his work, Nami put one hand on her hip and couldn't help but complain, "When I first boarded the ship, you would check on me from time to time and occasionally ask me if I was comfortable with where I was staying on the ship."

"But after we got to know each other a bit better, you not only stopped taking the initiative to talk to me, but even when I approached you, you just gave me casual remarks. Wasn't that a bit too sudden a change in attitude?"

As she spoke, Nami kept poking Li Mingyuan's cheek with her finger, her expression showing some dissatisfaction.

Li Mingyuan continued writing in his diary, replying casually, "Do you think that kind of forced enthusiasm at the beginning was better? I think it was more tiring that way."

"At first, we weren't familiar with each other, and we were worried that you might feel neglected and then simply go back to the village in a fit of anger. So of course, we had to actively get in touch with our navigators. Now that we're familiar with each other, we don't have to be so tense anymore."

"After all, rather than pretending to be someone you're not, I think it's better to be your true self and be more casual with each other so that you can get along better in the future."

"Wow! What a self-centered statement! It's so shocking that it leaves me speechless."

Upon hearing this, Nami withdrew her finger and said helplessly, "No wonder Karina hasn't even greeted you lately."

"Captain, how exactly do you plan to clean this up?"

I specifically emphasized the word "adult".

Nami lay on her deck chair, next to Li Mingyuan, their eyes fixed on the shimmering sunlight streaming through the parasol, a hint of worry on her face.

"Although Karina is still delaying, judging by this pace, she should arrive at Golden Island soon."

"By then, she will definitely try to escape no matter what, since she doesn't know about our agreement, and judging from your usual behavior, she will definitely suspect that you will kill her."

Nami murmured.

Li Mingyuan paused slightly as he was writing.

After a few seconds of silence, Li Mingyuan replied again, "Things won't get to that point."

"What makes you so sure about saying that?"

Nami immediately turned to look at Li Mingyuan, "If things really come to that point, even if she's unwilling, she'll probably do something outrageous. If she offends you, Captain, that would be adding insult to injury."

"Because I will resolve this with Karina before things get to that point."

Li Mingyuan finally stopped what he was doing, his expression sharp as he looked at Nami.

"After all, Nami, you should have already figured it out, right?"

"--My initial plan was to recruit Karina."

Li Mingyuan said in a deep voice.

Nami's body stiffened instantly.

She looked at Li Mingyuan with some surprise.

"You're not stupid. Seeing my gradual concessions, I don't believe you didn't have any doubts. Why did I make such concessions to Karina, but not all the way down? Instead, you kept pressing Karina about the ransom money."

"Actually, Karina has been acting too nervous lately, while you, on the other hand, keep trying to talk to me, making strange tangents. Although we've gotten to know each other a bit better now, we're not that close."

Li Mingyuan said calmly, "Now that we've come this far, I'm not afraid to tell you that before we actually recruited you, the member I truly believed we absolutely had to recruit was Karina."

"You probably don't remember this now, but back in Aaron's Paradise, I laid the groundwork for this. At the time, Karina was worried that I would kill you on the side, so she begged me to spare your life. I promised to spare your life, but at the same time, Karina had to agree to one small condition."

"No need to say more, the condition was of course to have her join my group. This agreement was initially proposed to recruit her."

"But in the end, I didn't expect you to join my team before Karina. Now that you're already one of my crew members, the life-saving agreement is naturally null and void, so I didn't bring it up with Karina again."

Li Mingyuan calmly recounted what had happened back then.

After listening to Li Mingyuan's account, Nami finally understood the whole story.

"What the heck, we were exposed after all."

"Was my probing too obvious?"

Nami first looked at Li Mingyuan, smiled somewhat embarrassedly, and then sighed.

"So that's how it is. I was wondering why you were so nice to Karina."

"So, if I hadn't been there, Karina would have been your first crew member?"

Nami certainly wouldn't forget the indescribable expression on her face when Li Mingyuan extended the invitation. Looking back now, Karina hadn't been in such a hurry before that. It must have been Karina's joining that, to some extent, reduced her safety on the ship.

After all, given Li Mingyuan's need for a navigator, Karina's initial role on this ship was probably also that of a navigator.

A guiding light to help Li Mingyuan reach the Grand Line.

"Fine... since you've already made up your mind, I won't say anything more."

Nami reluctantly dropped the topic.

She turned her head and looked again at Li Mingyuan and the notebook he had stopped writing in.

"By the way, what are you writing? Are you writing in your nautical log again?"

Nami asked with a hint of curiosity, "I see you writing this whenever you have a spare moment lately."

Li Mingyuan looked at Nami, raising his eyebrows slightly.

Are you curious?

"But unfortunately, I can't show you the specific details."

Li Mingyuan raised two fingers.

Between his two fingers was a normal version of the nautical log.

"This is the only book you can read."

Nami glanced at the booklet, then at Li Mingyuan's expression.

After hesitating for a moment, she pouted and muttered something as she took the nautical logbook.

"What's going on? Why are you being so secretive? Is there some kind of treasure map or something written on it?"

Muttering to herself, Nami opened her notebook and began reading while reclining in her chair.

She didn't delve any further into the notebook that Li Mingyuan had forbidden her from seeing.

After spending more time with Li Mingyuan, their relationship did become much more casual. Nami's curiosity about Li Mingyuan also grew day by day, and she gradually began to want to know more about her new captain.

However, this idea is ultimately just curiosity among friends.

Since the Arlong Pirates disbanded, this is the first time Nami has experienced such a time in her life, especially this peaceful and natural interaction, which was unimaginable in her previous life.

She drifted on the sea since childhood, and even when she boarded a ship, it was always with the purpose of stealing valuables and choosing targets. Even though there seemed to be a lot of time spent chatting and laughing, it was all just a pretense for Nami herself. It was only by chance that an outlier like Karina became her friend during that period. But apart from that, she never had a normal interpersonal relationship with someone like Li Mingyuan.

Therefore, Nami's relationship with Li Mingyuan has improved very quickly, and they have become friends.

She was also gradually trying to learn how to approach this awkward man in front of her.

Li Mingyuan dismissed Nami when he saw she had a nautical logbook.

He also breathed a sigh of relief.

Even if it's a diary that others can't understand, I don't need to take the risk of letting others read it.

Li Mingyuan thought to himself.

Caution is essential on this vast sea, at all times and in all places.

After relaxing, Li Mingyuan looked at Nami beside him and finally stopped writing in his notes. He put the notes back in his pocket and started sunbathing with Nami.

Speaking of which, Nami has been taking the initiative to talk to him quite often lately, and without realizing it, he's gotten used to the normal distance between them.

Only now has he realized this.

Perhaps I've already developed a pretty good relationship with Nami?

Looking at Nami, who was basking in the sun with a voluptuous figure beside him, Li Mingyuan suddenly realized that Nami had been so close to him, resting and talking. After all, on a ship, the crew members usually had their own rooms. Not to mention any lucky pervert incidents, if he didn't take the initiative to find them, he would rarely even have the chance to meet each other. He wasn't so despicable as to spy on them, so of course he wouldn't have much contact with the two female crew members.

Now that they're this close, even though Li Mingyuan wasn't acting on his own initiative, he can clearly see Nami's slightly revealing outfit. Although her clothing is still more conservative than what's common in the early stages of One Piece, and she hasn't yet reached the point where she often just wears a bra and wanders around, it's still very pleasing to the eye, given Nami's hot figure, and quite revealing.

No wonder Sanji, that lecherous guy, was so infatuated with Nami in the original manga.

It's really interesting.

Unable to continue writing notes, Li Mingyuan slowly closed his eyes.

What came to mind was the story of Golden Island.

Recently, he hasn't just been recording the original plot; by repeatedly recalling the events of the theatrical version, he has also remembered more details about Golden Island.

If their group reaches the vicinity of that island, besides possibly encountering the legendary golden pirate Unan—his childhood friend, the owner of the oden shop who wanted Unan to try it—they might also encounter pirates searching for treasure.

That's Edrag, the villain from the Gold Island movie, a pirate obsessed with gold, and a Paramecia-type Sound Wave Fruit user.

It possesses the special ability to transform its roar into a powerful physical sonic cannon.

The reason they found the island was because they had eliminated all of Wu Nan's former subordinates and thus obtained the treasure map. Considering that the narration in the early part of the movie mentioned that the rumors had spread throughout the world and that pirates were searching for this treasure, rather than pirates from the East Blue, Li Mingyuan suspected that this group of people were pirates from other seas who came specifically for the gold treasure.

After all, judging solely from their performance, their strength is far beyond what is commonly seen in the East China Sea.
