One Piece: Trainers on the Straw Hat Pirates

Akane watched Nami's performance with great interest, but her mind involuntarily drifted back to the turbulent waves that would rage two years later.

Unexpectedly, I encountered this little thieving cat here.

Although it wasn't part of the plan, now that you're here, you're not leaving!

After thinking for a moment, Crimson called out Nami's name directly:

"Don't be nervous, Miss Nami."

!!!

Nami was startled, her pupils suddenly contracting: "You...you know me!?"

Oh no! I've run into that unlucky guy again!

The first thing that came to her mind was... that she had once stolen something crimson.

"That's it."

Red smiled slightly, ignoring Nami's little scheme.

To be honest, he was also somewhat surprised by Nami's appearance.

After all, he and Luffy had deliberately staggered their departure times to avoid the whirlpool, and they skipped the Alvida and Coby storyline, heading straight for Shells Town.

Unexpectedly, they still encountered Nami, who came to Branch 153 to steal the Grand Line nautical chart.

And in such a coincidental way.

"I never expected to run into members of the famous Donghai girl thief group here. It seems we're pretty lucky today."

"Luffy, I think we've found our fourth crew member!"

"Huh!? What?"

Completely bewildered, Luffy paused for a moment, then quickly showed a look of surprise, placing his hand on his eyebrows and searching around.

"Really? Where is he?! Where is he?!"

"Idiot~" Red stepped forward, pressed Luffy's head down, forcibly turning his gaze to Nami, and said with a smile:

"Our fourth crew member is, of course, this lovely young girl!"

"ah--!?"

Unexpectedly, after Crimson finished speaking, Luffy immediately let out a disappointed sound:

"But...she seems very weak!"

Even with his basic Observation Haki, Luffy can easily analyze a person's strength.

In Luffy's eyes, Nami's strength is indeed somewhat lacking, and she can't compare to Zoro, who exudes a beastly aura.

"Weak?" Red's eyes widened slightly, showing surprise at Luffy's words, then he smiled and said:

"Then you've misjudged him, Luffy!"

"The young woman before you is the most promising navigator in the world!"

"Unlike Zoro, who is destined to become the world's greatest swordsman!"

"Her current seafaring skills are already among the world's top!!!"

"We've hit the jackpot!!!"

"—Sgay~!!!"

Upon hearing Red's explanation, Luffy's eyes lit up instantly, and even the way he looked at Nami became full of respect.

Zoro, who was guarding the gate, looked at Akane in surprise upon hearing this.

Although they had only just met, he didn't think that Crimson was the kind of person who would talk nonsense.

Consequently, even the way he looked at Nami changed.

It just feels weird when I hear Chi Hong use himself as an example to compare himself to others!

Is he implying that I'm inferior to this little girl? Probably not!

Luffy slammed his fist in his hand: "Alright! Red, I've decided! We'll have her as our pirate crew's navigator!!!"

"A wise choice!"

Red smiled calmly, then turned his gaze to Nami.

"So, you heard that too, Miss Nami?"

"I hope you are prepared."

"After all, those who are targeted by my captain are doomed!"

Chapter 13 Crimson First Time (Please continue reading~)

what's the situation?

Nami was completely bewildered and had no idea what was going on.

He thought it was a retaliatory attack from a long-time customer, but it turned out to be a flattering invitation!

How did he know I know how to sail?!

Who exactly leaked my mother's information?

Could it be Karina?!

Countless thoughts swirled in Nami's mind, leaving her completely baffled.

However, considering that she had been caught red-handed, she ultimately decided to compromise and join their group first!

Then they would take the opportunity to steal their treasure and escape.

Just like countless times before!

Nami's eyes flashed, and she immediately made a decision.

But just as she was about to agree and perhaps get closer to Crimson and the others...

Suddenly, a flurry of footsteps came from above them.

This was immediately followed by an angry roar:

"Quickly! Search them! How dare someone cause trouble on my turf! Whoever it is, I won't let them get away with it!!!"

"Oh no!" Nami was stunned and immediately realized that the noise they made had disturbed the Marines above.

After glancing around at everyone present, she quickly said:

"The navy is here!"

"You don't want to be trapped here by the navy, do you?! Let's escape through the window!"

The experienced Nami somehow produced a rope and headed straight for the window.

However, upon hearing her words, Luffy and Zoro both turned their heads and looked at her in confusion.

"Run away? Why run away?"

Luffy excitedly clenched his fists a few times, making a crisp sound, then smiled at Nami:

"We came here to rob the Navy!"

Zoro also looked excited.

He had eaten some pastries while searching Bellemere's room, and his strength had recovered considerably.

Having not touched a knife in a long time, he really wanted to chop something right away!

To hasten the navy's arrival, he even opened the door and shouted down the hallway:

"Navy!!! We're here!!!"

"Damn it! What are you doing?!"

Zoro's astonishing move clearly terrified Nami, who immediately ran to Akane's side and grabbed his hands, pulling them apart.

"Hey! Those two are idiots, but you can't be an idiot too, can you!?"

"Let them run away quickly! Otherwise, we'll all be in trouble!"

Escaping alone would be too conspicuous; Nami was hoping to escape with Akame to distract the Marines!

However, just as she was about to pull Crimson toward the window, a steady force pulled her back along her arm.

"Don't worry, Nami, we're very strong."

A confident smile appeared on his flushed face as he smiled slightly at Nami.

He then grabbed her hand to prevent her from escaping again.

Nami was startled: "What are you doing?! If you want to die, don't drag me down with you!"

No matter how hard she struggled, she could not break free from the crimson, rock-hard palm.

At Zoro's shout, the Marines quickly pinpointed their location.

Before long, the two groups of people gathered from both sides of the corridor.

One by one, black gun barrels were pointed at the inside of the room, trapping Crimson and the others inside.

Just then, the naval personnel parted to make way for them.

Captain Morgan, who had lost an arm and replaced it with a sharp giant axe, slowly stepped forward from the crowd.

His tall stature forced him to duck to enter the house.

"I'm going to die! I'm going to die!"

Upon seeing this, Nami's bright eyes instantly dimmed.

Now, even if she wanted to run, she couldn't escape!

Monka looked at the situation inside the room, then at the hole in the ceiling, and a surge of anger suddenly erupted in his indifferent eyes.

"Boys, who gave you the audacity to cause trouble on my turf?!"

"Dad!!!"
