Sailing: Me, a Saiyan, starts by clashing with Robin.

This isn't 7000 million, it's a bounty of a whopping 7 million Berries!

Nami felt a sudden darkness before her eyes, and her blood pressure spiked instantly.

Moreover, judging from what they said, this person wasn't the captain of the other ship, but just one of its officers.

'If even the officials get such high rewards, what about the captain? 10 billion! Or 20 billion?!'

Suddenly, Nami stopped moving. After a while, when everyone looked again, a small, white, semi-transparent figure was floating in her mouth.

Everyone: "..."

Vivi: "Quick, quick, save her! Nami has fainted from fright!"

My new book is launching, and I hope all my bosses and godfathers will give me some flowers, monthly tickets, encouragement to update, and rewards. I would be extremely grateful.

Chapter 52 Nami's Past, Robin's Pregnancy Confirmed!

After Vivi and Karina performed emergency first aid, Nami finally managed to take a deep breath and slowly regain consciousness.

The first thing she did upon waking up was to throw the bounty poster away, not wanting to touch it at all.

"Waaaaah, what should we do? Why are you being targeted by such a terrifying person?"

"I want to get off the boat! Let me down quickly! I don't need your help to save the village anymore!"

Nami already regrets getting involved with these guys.

Even if Bitz and the others do help her get rid of Arlong, will the pursuers destroy Cocoyasi Village because of her relationship with Bitz?

That's a notorious pirate with a bounty of 7 million; heaven knows how many lives he's taken.

Several thousand? Tens of thousands?! Anyway, there aren't enough people in Cocoyasi Village to kill.

Seeing Nami who was almost driven mad with fear, Beetz was speechless, while Karina mocked her mercilessly:

"Hahaha, this is hilarious! Nami, you're still the same coward you always were."

"How can you still be laughing? When that guy gets here, you'll be the first one killed since joining this team!"

Nami doesn't understand her friend's behavior, but Karina has her own wisdom.

Karina tapped her temple with her finger and explained with a look of disdain:

"Idiot, use your brain. Didn't you hear what Tina just said? Hawkeye Mihawk is the only one among the Seven Warlords who can go toe-to-toe with the Four Emperors?"

Beetz, who could easily defeat Hawkeye, was naturally even more powerful than one of the Four Emperors, so how could he possibly be no match for this gossipy man?

After saying that, she turned her gaze to Tina and continued:

"Moreover, bounty does not necessarily represent the strength of the two sides. If that were the case, why would two pirates fight when they meet? They could just compare their bounties."

"You're right, aren't you, Tina?"

Tina: "...Stop targeting me every time. I'm no longer a member of the Navy."

Despite her inner displeasure, Tina still explained to everyone (mainly Nami): "That's right, the bounty amount on a pirate's head doesn't necessarily reflect their strength."

Some people are of mediocre strength, but they have committed many evil deeds such as massacring villages and plundering merchant ships.

Or perhaps the existence of the wanted criminal poses a threat to the navy or the government.

This will influence the navy's judgment, leading them to offer bounties far exceeding the opponent's strength.

Robin was the one who felt this most deeply; she had a bounty of 7900 million when she was only eight years old.

The claim that she destroyed a warship is simply because the government feared her ability to read historical texts, which led to the exceptionally high bounty offered to her.

Tina calmly lit a cigarette. "Besides, it's only that the news of Beetz defeating Hawkeye hasn't spread yet."

Otherwise, given his record, his bounty should be at least 10 billion Berries.

"10 billion Berries..." Nami murmured the number, staring at the main seat without saying a word, crossing her arms and striking a pose to look cool, her eyes suddenly sparkling.

There's no mistake, this man must have been sent by God to save me. If it's him, he can definitely defeat Ah Long and liberate everyone in the village!

With a thud, Bitz turned his head to look in the direction of the sound and saw Nami kneeling on the ground, supporting herself with her hands.

"I'm sorry, please forgive my rambling just now. Please help me deal with the Fishman Pirates."

I will agree to any request, as long as you consent.

"Tsk, this little girl is quite young, but she's got quite the confidence."

Bits clicked his tongue and looked down at Nami. From his vantage point, he could see that when the girl bent over, a large expanse of her chest was unintentionally exposed.

"Get up, I forgive you. Now we're going to talk about your case."

Sit down and tell us your story, and while you're at it, tell everyone about the evil deeds these fish-men have committed.

With Bits' reassurance, Nami carefully got up and sat down at the table again.

Then, in front of everyone, she slowly recounted the grudges and entanglements between her family and the Fishman Pirates.

As the story unfolds, the women's expressions gradually shift to sympathy, anger, and empathy.

After Nami finished telling her story, Tina angrily slammed her fist on the table.

"What exactly is the navy in the East China Sea doing?!"

More than 20 villages have been enslaved by pirates. Didn't they receive any news at all? Or have they been bribed by the pirates?!

Either of these situations infuriated Tina.

The former is slightly better, which only demonstrates the incompetence and irresponsibility of the local navy.

The latter is much more serious; the navy colluding with pirates is a serious crime punishable by execution.

Tina's sixth sense told her that it was most likely the latter.

Compared to Tina's dissatisfaction with the Navy, Robin, Carina, and the others were more angry at the Fishman Pirates and Arlong.

These fish-men killed someone's foster mother and then forced Nami to join them, even making a ridiculous offer to a 10-year-old girl to exchange her village for 100 million Berries.

They weren't as easily fooled as Nami; in their eyes, this was just a one-sided deception by the pirates.

Even if Nami really produced 100 million Berries, the other party would find various reasons to renege on the debt, or even simply deny it altogether.

How could Nami not understand this? She knew that pirates were untrustworthy, but what could she do besides use this excuse to deceive and comfort herself?

Over the years, she has approached the Navy or bounty hunters.

But the result is just sending a few more people to their deaths; nothing will change at all.

Until she met Beetz and witnessed his power.

Only then did she open her heart and stake her own and the village's future on the other person.

Bitts leaned back in his chair, his fingers tapping rhythmically on the table.

"Da~da~da~da~"

These tapping sounds were barely noticeable in the noisy tea room today.

But it seemed to have some kind of magic, gradually drawing the women's attention to it, and they all shut their mouths and stopped talking.

Robin frowned as he looked at Beetz, who remained silent, sensing that something was off about him.

“I have a pretty good understanding of the situation,” Bits said slowly, raising his dark, deep eyes to meet Nami’s brown eyes, which were already brimming with tears.

"Although I have never considered myself a good person, I would even call myself a scumbag."

But I still have a little sympathy.

"Kalina," he suddenly called out the name of the purple-haired girl who was bowing her head and grieving for her friend's tragic life.

"Ah, yes," the girl replied hastily, raising her head in confusion.

Then Bitts stood up and announced, somewhat abruptly:

"I want to have a whole fish feast tonight, please prepare it."

That concludes the meeting; all parties may leave now.

After saying this, under the watchful eyes of the women, Bitts left his seat, pushed open the door, and left the tea room on his own.

"Okay..." Karina replied belatedly, a look of joy immediately spreading across her face.

Turning her head, she grasped Nami's hands and said earnestly:

"Stop crying, go back to your room and get some sleep. Think about how to deal with Ah Long, and leave the rest to us."

Wiping her eyes, Nami looked at Karina, who should have been her opponent but was now comforting her, and felt a warmth rise in her heart. She nodded firmly.

Seeing this, Vivi volunteered to take Nami to choose a room.

Before leaving, Michita and Tina each said some words of comfort to Nami.

Although there was an element of sympathy involved, everyone initially accepted Nami as their new companion.

After Vivi left with Nami, Michita and Karina also got up one after another.

Tina stubbed out her cigarette and prepared to go to the deck for some fresh air, but before she could leave, she suddenly noticed that Robin was still sitting in his seat, not moving.

Although they hadn't known each other for long, Robin's keen insight earned her a reliable and steady image in the eyes of the women.

Even Tina has a good impression of her and is willing to communicate with her more.

"What's wrong? Is something the problem?"

“No,” Robin said, putting aside his random thoughts and looking up at Tina with a slight smile.

"I just suddenly remembered something else. Don't worry about me, just let me sit by myself for a while."

Looking at this woman who could never open up, Tina's gaze became complicated. Speaking of which, this woman's life had been quite bumpy.

Even at a younger age than Nami at the time, she was forced to begin a life on the run.

The culprits behind all this are the World Government and their navy.

Thinking about it this way, how is what the navy does any different from what pirates do?

The only difference is that they've donned a cloak of justice.

Suddenly, Tina felt her craving for a cigarette return, and her hand instinctively reached for the cigarette pack in her pocket, only to find nothing.

Robin's lips curled up slightly, and he magically flipped his hand to reveal the cigarette case in his hand.

Tina rolled her eyes in annoyance. "Your abilities are really well-hidden."

As Robin smiled and returned the cigarette pack to her, he also reminded her:

"Smoke less. Smoking is not a good habit, especially for us women."

"Tch, she can't change." Taking the cigarette case, Tina waved her hand, not wanting to talk to this mysterious woman any longer, and turned to walk out the door.

After receiving the cigarette case, she didn't light a cigarette but quietly put it back in her pocket.

Robin's smile deepened at the sight, which only made Tina, who had turned to close the door, even more annoyed.

"What's wrong with you? You're as nagging as an old woman. Tina is clearly older."

She muttered something under her breath, shook her head, and walked towards the stairs.

But after taking two steps, she suddenly stopped.

"Strange, is she someone who minds when others smoke?"

And speaking of which, she doesn't seem to have even stopped drinking alcohol lately...

Suddenly, she turned around and stared in astonishment at the tightly closed door.

No, no way, could it be her?!

Somehow, Tina seemed to see Robin touching his lower abdomen through the door.

He shook his head frantically, trying to shake the absurd image out of his mind.

When I looked at the door again, that scene had disappeared, and only an ordinary wooden door blocked the view between the inside and outside.

"Phew~ What happened to 153 just now? It must be hallucinations because of all the things that happened today. I should go back to my room and get some sleep."

Muttering to herself, Tina stiffly walked towards the bedroom, her back already soaked with cold sweat without her realizing it.

After she left, Robin opened his eyes helplessly in the room and touched his lower abdomen with a complicated expression.

"As expected of someone from the navy, his observation skills are truly keen."
