"Gion, you are too strong. The pirates I couldn't handle, you dealt with in one move." Kuina walked back, a little dejected.
Gion gently ruffled her head.
"Gion, how strong are you exactly? I'm really curious when you go all out. I wonder how strong Captain Kevin is."
Kuina remembered.
Gion had said.
The Captain was stronger.
But Kuina couldn't imagine how much stronger'stronger' was.
Would it reach the point of destroying several Pirate Crew ships at once? It shouldn't be possible, no one could do that, right?
...
...
"You?" Belle-Mere looked at Kevin and his group with curiosity.
The villagers were both grateful and fearful.
Fear of the strong.
"Take back your own wealth. We're not interested. Although we are a Pirate Crew, we won't plunder wealth." Belo Betty instructed the villagers.
The villagers were startled.
"Pirate Crew?"
Scared, they quickly fled back into their houses.
"Aren't you afraid?"
Kevin looked at Belle-Mere, who had not retreated.
"I only know that you helped us. I believe you are not bad people."
Belle-Mere looked at Kevin with great confidence.
She trusted her own judgment.
"If you are willing, please come to my house as guests. On behalf of the village, I express our gratitude." Belle-Mere extended an invitation.
Kevin nodded.
Passing through here.
Coming to this place was for Nami.
He wanted to see if the young Nami possessed the navigation skills that could help the Sun and Moon Pirates conquer the sea.
The Sun and Moon Pirates still lacked a crew member with navigation skills.
They needed one very much now.
To go to Sky Island, navigation skills were required.
"Kevin, I'll be leaving for a moment."
Kevin glanced at Gion.
He knew she had already sensed that the arrival of these pirates was abnormal, suspecting that the Marine branch officer from the neighboring island was colluding with the pirates.
Although she was not a Marine.
Gion's inner justice couldn't tolerate such Marines.
"Go."
Phoenix wings spread from Gion's back, and she soared into the sky.
Kevin and his group followed Belle-Mere to her home.
Upon entering, two cute little girls looked at Kevin and his group shyly yet curiously.
Among them was the orange-haired Nami.
She stealthily came up to Kevin and asked curiously: "Are you guests from the sea? Can you tell me about the sea?"
She was full of curiosity about the outside world.
"Nami, don't be rude to the guests."
Nami stuck out her tongue.
"You want to know?"
Kevin squatted down, looking at the young Nami with interest.
Nami nodded vigorously.
Soon, Nami's surprised cry came from the room: "What? Islands floating in the sky? And islands under the sea? There are even islands built on giant elephants, and… it turns out the ocean is so peculiar!"
Nami was completely captivated by the ocean's wonders.
Her eyes were full of longing.
Excited, Nami invited Kevin to her room and somewhat boastfully showed him the map she had drawn, though it was only a map of this one island.
"Very good," Kevin said admiringly, holding Nami's masterpiece.
Although the map still had many inaccuracies, for a little girl, it was a talent beyond her age.
It was just a pity.
Nami's current ability couldn't be put to use yet; she still needed years of continuous learning and improvement.
It would be difficult for her to be effective in the ever-changing climate of the Grand Line.
"Really? My dream is to draw a map of the entire world."
Being acknowledged, Nami became even more affectionate towards Kevin.
Even during meals.
She would sit right next to Kevin.
Gion also returned, subtly nodding to Kevin, indicating that it was resolved.
After dinner.
Nami, who seemed to have endless things to say, suddenly fell silent.
"Are you leaving?" Nami looked at Kevin with reluctance.
"Of course."
Nami's little mouth drooped.
"Nami…" Belle-Mere and Nojiko looked at Nami with concern.
Belle-Mere seemed to have made a certain decision.
She gently patted Nami's back.
As if giving Nami infinite courage.
"Then can you take me out to sea with you? I want to draw maps of the entire world, and by going out to sea with you, I believe I can definitely achieve my dream."
Hancock and the others were already used to it.
It was another child asking to join the ship.
So this time, would Kevin still refuse?
They looked at Kevin curiously.
Kevin looked at Nami.
He was also thinking.
Although Nami herself wasn't strong in the original work, her top-notch navigation skills, combined with her use of many tools, made giving her a spot worthwhile.
It's just that she was too young.
Koala and Kuina were already ten years old and usually didn't need much looking after.
Koala had just celebrated her birthday three days ago and was also ten.
But Nami was a few years younger than them.
Too young.
At such an age, being far from home wouldn't be very happy for a little girl.
"Wait until you grow up." Kevin thought for a moment and still refused.
"If your dream hasn't changed when you grow up, then come find me in the ocean."
Nami, though rejected, wasn't disheartened.
She was also conflicted internally.
She couldn't bear to leave her adoptive mother, her sister, the village, or her hometown.
"Okay."
Nami extended her small hand.
Kevin high-fived her.
"Let's go!"
Kevin turned and left, with the women following.
A new journey had begun.
It was also at this time.
His achievement points surpassed two hundred thousand.
Everyone gained the ability of one-time monthly resurrection.
