003 Do You Know Who My Grandpa Is?
500 Adventure Coins!
Equivalent to 5 Life Fruits, 5 years of life!
Could it be that he misunderstood?
Recruiting and training crew members is the main way to obtain Adventure Coins?
Thinking of this, Luffy ignored Nami's question and stared at Koby, saying:
"You also have two choices."
"Yes...yes! Luffy sama!" Koby was startled once again.
[Recruit crew member Koby, average aptitude, reward 5 Adventure Coins]
Luffy: "..."
Hey hey, this is a hundred times off.
Is it Nami's heaven-defying aptitude, or is Koby just too useless?
"Never mind, you're fired." Luffy shook his head regretfully and decisively kicked Koby away.
A worthless trash worth 5 coins, you can go be a Marine Admiral.
"Huh?" Koby was dumbfounded.
Luffy didn't pay attention to him and turned to look at Nami.
Just as Nami was about to slip away, she immediately stopped in her tracks, tilted her head, and acted cute:
"Luffy san, I didn't plan on running away."
"If you run, I will catch you and bring you back. I know your hometown is Cocoyasi Village, which is currently occupied by the Arlong Pirates, right?" Luffy said with a smile that wasn't really a smile.
Nami was thunderstruck.
She couldn't keep up the act anymore and reverted to her true self, widening her eyes:
"How do you know?!"
"A thief who specializes in stealing from pirates, I've heard of it. It's quite impressive to make a name for yourself on this sea." Luffy sincerely praised.
This girl was threatened by the Arlong Pirates and needed to buy back her village for 100 million berries.
She had been saving money all these years.
"Now that you know, it's easier to talk." Nami used a tone of a bad woman, even crossed her arms and put on a show: "I am a member of the Arlong Pirates, sorry, I can't join your pirate crew."
Oh, she's good at bluffing, quite clever.
Luffy wanted to laugh, and indeed couldn't hold it in, laughing out loud.
"What are you laughing at..." Nami's face turned slightly red, feeling a hint of embarrassment.
Bluffing like this wasn't the first time for her, and she had always been able to scare others away.
After all, in East Blue, the name of the Arlong Pirates was quite famous.
She frowned and said, "What's so funny? You don't know about the Arlong Pirates? Captain Arlong, a fishman with strength ten times that of a human, his bounty is even as high as 20 million berries! She's not in the same league as the fat woman you just defeated!"
"Haha, hahahah, hahahaha..."
Luffy couldn't hold it in anymore, laughing until his stomach hurt.
The more he laughed, the more annoyed she became.
Nami was completely at a loss, not understanding what this person was laughing at.
"Sorry, I couldn't help it, I wasn't laughing at you."
After a while, Luffy finally calmed down his laughter.
It wasn't intentional, probably the effect of the Nika Nika no Mi, his sense of humor had lowered.
Nami: "..."
She bit her lip, glaring angrily at him.
"You misunderstood," Luffy patiently explained. After all, a woman worth 500 coins is different from a piece of garbage worth 5 coins. "I want you to join my pirate crew. It doesn't matter if you are a member of the Dragon Pirates. Even if you are, as long as we defeat this pirate crew, it will be fine."
Upon hearing this, Nami was stunned.
"What are you saying? That's a pirate crew composed entirely of fishmen... except for me! Are you asking me to go and get myself killed for your sake?"
"Do you know who my grandfather is?"
Luffy didn't explain how strong he himself was.
Even if he did, Nami probably wouldn't understand.
But when it comes to grandfathers, it's different!
"Your grandfather?"
"Marine hero, Naval Headquarters Vice Admiral, Monkey D Garp. With just a word from my grandfather, he can wipe out a small pirate crew a hundred times over."
What does background mean?
This is what background means!
Background is something you use to show off. As long as you show it, many problems can be solved.
Nami was indeed shocked.
A Marine Vice Admiral, and one from the headquarters!
This is a big shot.
If he is willing to help, the village's problems can probably be easily resolved!
Nami's eyes lit up, and her expression became excited.
"Are you telling the truth?"
"So, are you willing to be my honest navigator now?" Luffy teased.
"..."
Nami's expression changed. "Wait, your grandfather is a Marine, but you came to be a pirate? Don't lie to me!"
Damn it, I almost fell for it. Hmph, you can't trust a man's words.
Luffy shrugged. "You don't believe me?"
"I don't!"
Luffy pointed to the unconscious Alvida beside them and said, "This woman is worth 5 million berries. We can take her to the nearby Marine Base and collect the reward. When we meet the commander of the Marine Base, we'll immediately know if it's true or not."
That's true... but what if it's a trap? They lure her to the Marine Base and then capture her?
That doesn't seem right. This guy is pretty strong. If they wanted to capture her, they wouldn't need to go through all this trouble.
So, Nami nodded eagerly. "If it's true, I'm willing to join your pirate crew. Unless you voluntarily let me leave, I will be your navigator forever and never betray you!"
"Then let's go." Luffy smiled.
"Wait, where's your pirate ship?" Nami looked around but didn't see any ship.
Speaking of a pirate ship...
Luffy opened the Adventure Shop.
[Pirate Ship (Sunny Go)]: A valuable pirate ship, comes with a warehouse of food and water. Price: 1000 adventure coins, today's special offer: 300 adventure coins.
Bought it!
Discounted price, can't miss it.
Now I have 600 adventure coins, enough to buy it.
As for why it's 600 and not 605...
Because I kicked out Kobby, the 5 coins that were originally rewarded were taken back.
The system doesn't give any loopholes!
