Through Nami's detailed explanation, Jotaro quickly understood the structure of this world.
The place he was in was a sea area called "East Blue."
Besides the East Blue, this world also had the existence of West Blue, South Blue, and North Blue.
But these were not important, these four sea areas were just green leaves to set off the fresh red flower.
The true stage of this world was the Grand Line.
Since that's the case, Jotaro had a reason to go there.
If he wanted to leave this world, he must go there.
His deep and wise gaze was withdrawn from Nami's body, and Jotaro said indifferently, "The map of the Grand Line? The one who really wants that thing is you, right?"
Revealing the Grand Line map to him, Nami was clearly harboring ulterior motives.
He would not be so stupid as to be used as a gun by someone.
Hearing that, Nami was stunned, and after a moment she smiled intimately and said, "What are you talking about, boss. Now I'm your subordinate, I'm thinking for your sake."
"Countless pirates want to go to the Grand Line, but most of them go excited and return disappointed, and many even lose their lives."
"This shows how difficult it is to go to that place. Without this map, we won't be able to move an inch."
"Yare yare…"
Even if she truly had other intentions, Jotaro had to admit what she said was the truth.
This map, no matter what, he had to get it.
"Tell me, where is Buggy!"
Seeing Jotaro take the bait, Nami laughed secretly in her heart and explained with a serious face, "Buggy is right on this island. He and his pirate crew have occupied this island."
"You must be wondering why so many townspeople are gathered near the edge of this small island. It's because their town has already been used as a base by Buggy and others."
Seeing the anger, resentment, and helplessness on the faces of these townspeople, Jotaro affirmed the thing he was about to do next.
Teaching a lesson to evil people was what he was best at, and stealing things from these bad guys, he absolutely would not feel any guilt.
"What's wrong? Don't tell me you're scared?"
Jotaro remained silent. Nami thought he was getting cold feet.
After all, the higher the bounty of a pirate, the stronger their strength, this was common sense in this world.
The pirate who controlled her hometown, Fishman Arlong, had terrifying strength, and his monster-like power left an indelible shadow in her heart.
Arlong's bounty was 20 million Berries, while Buggy's was only 5 million less.
That showed that the other party's strength was not much inferior to Arlong.
Jotaro's bounty was only 5 million Berries. Compared to these two behemoths, in her eyes, he was a bit underwhelming.
However, she didn't expect Jotaro to defeat Buggy.
She only wanted to use him.
While he tangled with Buggy, she would steal all of Buggy's treasures.
With the gap in strength between the two, if Jotaro clashed with Buggy, it would already be lucky if he kept his body intact.
By then, Jotaro's treasure, and that ship, would all be hers.
Nami thought happily and couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Jotaro looked sideways at her and asked strangely, "What are you laughing at?"
"Cough!" Seeing that she was a little carried away, Nami coughed and said, "Nothing…"
She turned around and provoked, "If there's no Grand Line map, I won't be your navigator anymore."
"No matter how much money you give me, I won't do it! With no guidance, going to such a dangerous place,"
"I won't joke around with my own life."
"On the contrary, if we have this map, I can even join your ship for free and be your navigator."
Nami stuck out her tongue, turned her head, and looked at Jotaro with a smile.
She believed this was a very big temptation.
In her understanding, to pirates, profit was everything. The other party had no reason to refuse.
Though she got the process completely wrong, the result was totally correct.
"You're from outside the island, huh? You sure know a lot about the affairs on this island." Jotaro snorted meaningfully and indicated, "Lead the way. Let's go meet this Buggy."
"Jotaro-san." Shinobu gently grabbed his hand, "It's too dangerous to go like this without preparation. We don't even know Buggy's details."
"And…" She looked warily at Nami, "Whether Buggy really has the Grand Line map, we also don't know."
"Just relying on her one-sided words, there's no need to take such a risk."
As a pirate who plundered commoners' property and drove them from their homes, Buggy was the kind of guy that justice-minded Shinobu naturally wanted to teach a lesson to, she might even be the first to go up.
But in her current heart, Jotaro's safety was more important than anything else.
Seeing him about to fight someone with unknown background, how could she feel at ease?
Nami did not refute her words but nodded in agreement, "Indeed. For Buggy to occupy this island, he must have quite a few underlings."
"So, you guys don't need to hide it anymore. Hurry and call out your companions."
With her understanding of pirates, Jotaro's pirate crew couldn't possibly have only three people.
They must be scouts or something similar, landing in advance to explore, while the main force was waiting in the nearby sea.
Nami naturally hoped Jotaro could go all out against Buggy's pirate crew. Only then could she create more chances for herself.
"What are you saying? We only have three people." Jotaro said blankly.
Nami's eyes widened in shock, "You've got to be kidding! Just three people and you dare set your sights on Buggy?"
She knew Jotaro was weak, but didn't expect he was weak to this extent. She couldn't help but feel a bit disappointed.
Most importantly, his brain wasn't too bright either.
Looks like the fisherman-profiting-from-clam-and-crane-fight plan was a bust.
She waved her hand, clearly losing interest in Jotaro.
"In that case, I won't accompany you anymore."
"Didn't expect in the end I'd have to do it myself." Muttering to herself, Nami headed deeper into Orange Town, where Buggy's base was.
Jotaro looked away from Nami's departing figure. He didn't try to stop her, but instead turned to Shinobu. Sensing the worry flowing in her beautiful eyes, his gaze also softened slightly.
"You and Nezuko stay here. If we want to leave this world, we must go to the Grand Line. This map is crucial to us."
"I understand… but if Buggy…" She held Jotaro's hand tightly.
As long as there was even a sliver of danger to him, she couldn't feel at ease.
Wasn't Nezuko the same?
Jotaro comforted, "Don't worry. I'm not a reckless person. If I really meet an opponent I can't defeat, I'll escape immediately."
"This is the Joestar family's creed."
However, such escaping wasn't due to fear or cowardice, but a roundabout strategy for eventually defeating the opponent.
