Feeling the figure run away, Tushan let out a bored chuckle.
"Does that long-nosed guy really think he can fool my eyes?"
"With such a clumsy disguise, I don't even need to use my observation haki..."
Tushan thought casually to himself.
He was just too lazy to bother with Usopp.
Unexpectedly, that guy was bold enough to try and ambush him.
However, with Usopp's attributes, he was far from being able to harm Tushan!
After realizing Usopp was present earlier, Tushan quickly glanced at his attributes.
[Usopp
Basic Attributes:
Attack: C+; Defense: C; Strength: D+; Speed: C; Stamina: C+
Haki:
Armament Haki: None; Observation Haki: None; Conqueror's Haki: None
Combat Skills:
Martial Arts: C; Swordsmanship: D; Sniping: A+
Overall Attributes: C+]
Aside from his sniping skills, the rest were only slightly better than an average person.
After all, he was the son of Yasopp from the Red-Haired Pirates, one of the Four Emperors, so he inherited some physical traits.
However, to Tushan, it wasn't even worth a second glance.
Usopp's proud sniping talent was completely incomparable to Tushan's SS-level top-tier sniping skills!
...
This minor incident didn't concern Tushan.
With Makino and Nami, he walked into the village and casually asked someone for directions to Kaya's house.
As the village's only 'wealthy lady,' everyone knew her.
Although Tushan and his companions were strangers, they didn't look like troublemakers, so the enthusiastic villagers didn't hesitate to give them directions.
With clear directions, Tushan continued leading his two current wives toward their destination.
However, along the way, Makino and Nami grew increasingly uneasy.
"Tushan, that 'Kaya' is the woman you mentioned wanting to find, right?" Makino asked softly.
It felt strange for Tushan to bring his wives, not just one but two, to another woman's house...
What was going on here?
Tushan remained unfazed, nodding lightly.
As long as he maintained his thick skin, there would be no problem.
Seeing this, Makino couldn't help but roll her eyes.
Even though she was mentally prepared, she was still a bit speechless at Tushan's rapid progress.
She had only been married to Tushan for less than a week, and had only known Nami for two days!
She had just accepted Nami as a clever and lovely sister, and now Tushan was already looking for a new sister.
Her capacity to accept was limited.
Although she couldn't stop Tushan from continuing his search, she couldn't guarantee she'd be gentle with every new sister...
After all, as the first wife, Makino had some pride.
Seeing Tushan walking ahead with a guilty expression, Makino's gaze was filled with melancholy.
Curious about the name 'Kaya,' Nami finally couldn't help but ask, "Who is Kaya? Why are we looking for her?"
Tushan pretended not to hear, perhaps unsure how to answer.
Makino took over the question, linking arms with Nami as they walked closely like sisters.
Following Tushan's figure with her eyes, Makino leaned closer to Nami's ear and whispered, "What else... just what this bad guy has been doing these past two days."
"These past two days..."
Nami's face flushed slightly as she listened.
Only the three of them on the ship knew what had happened in the past two days.
She had finally given herself to him...
From that moment, her feelings for Tushan were no less than Makino's!
Nami still believed Tushan had sought her out specifically.
While it was true he had sought her out, Nami thought it was solely for her.
But now, it seemed something was off?!
He had just taken her most precious thing, and now another woman was appearing?!!
Initially, she felt guilty for taking some of Tushan's love from Makino.
But now, someone else was coming to take a share...
She thought she had the status of a wife.
Unexpectedly, it was more like... a girl group???
While she was internally complaining, Makino quietly spoke again, her eyes still watching Tushan as if reporting him.
"Actually, when we first set sail, he mentioned coming to Syrup Village."
"But for some reason, Tushan changed his mind halfway and went to Orange Town, which is where we met you."
"What...!!"
Nami's eyes widened in shock.
Changing course to find her...
Wasn't that just picking her up along the way?!
Although she felt Tushan's genuine affection over the past two days, she couldn't ignore the fact that she was just a convenient stop!
Nami couldn't help but clench her fist, a dangerous smile forming on her lips.
Then she quickly stepped forward—
And unceremoniously punched him!
BANG!
"Ow... Nami? What's going on?"
Tushan turned around, feeling guilty as he looked at Nami.
Despite his SS-level defense, he felt some pain from Nami's punch, but he had no temper towards his wife.
After all, he had clearly heard what Makino had told Nami earlier.
Tushan hadn't expected the gentle and mature Makino to report him like this...
"Is it because she's gotten really close to Nami, or does she think I'm too much and wants to throw a little tantrum..."
He pondered silently, not daring to say much on the surface.
Although being henpecked wasn't an issue for him, he had acted immorally, so he had to endure his wives' tempers...
After venting her anger with a punch, Nami huffed and said, "Tushan! I need to make something clear with you."
"Even though I've grown attached to you over these two days, I can't live without you."
"I try to be as gentle and graceful as Sister Makino, but that's not my true nature!"
"Since you've made me unable to leave you, I can't change myself and pretend forever."
"If you make me unhappy, I'll hit you!! That's the real me, Nami, the Cat Burglar!! Hmph!"
Seeing Nami's sudden display of tsundere behavior, Tushan chuckled.
The playful bickering between husband and wife was nothing more than flirting to him.
He knew what kind of person Nami was.
There was no need for her to be gentle like Makino.
She had the tenderness of a young girl and the little temper of a princess, which was the true Nami!
With this thought, Tushan's expression softened even more.
He patiently coaxed both Nami and Makino.
Seeing their expressions ease, he seized the opportunity to continue leading them toward Kaya's house...
