I, Naruto, started out with Hinata feeding me imported candy.

"Isn't there a lot of gold and silver treasure in your bag?"

"Why don't you just give us a little bit of relief?"

"We'll definitely pay you back when we have the money."

Luffy said to Nami with a grin.

Upon hearing that this straw-hatted boy was eyeing his gold and silver treasures...

Miss Nami's face suddenly darkened.

Chapter 336 Money is just an external thing!

　"This is my personal wealth, it has nothing to do with the two of you, and I've already told you before that we are just business partners."

"I haven't officially joined you yet."

"Don't even think about taking my gold and silver treasures."

"I will absolutely not give it to you."

"I have more important things to do with this money."

Not a single penny can be wasted.

Miss Nami said with a livid face.

"Does it matter?"

"Lend us some to use, or consider it as you treating us to a big meal."

"How about we lend it to you?"

"We'll definitely pay you back when we have the money."

Luffy is really shameless.

"That's right, that's right, why be so stingy?"

"You have so much gold and silver in that bag, just a little bit of it would be enough for us to have a big meal."

"Money is just an external thing; you can't take it with you when you die, so why be so greedy?"

Roronoa Zoro chimed in, adding his own comment.

"No means no, absolutely no. No matter what you say, you are not allowed to touch my money. I have already told you that I have other more important things to do with this money, and not a single penny can be touched."

Miss Nami suddenly shouted loudly.

"What's wrong? What's wrong? Are you really angry?"

"It seems it really is... Is it really necessary?"

"It's just the cost of a meal. We're not saying we're going to eat and drink for free."

"I promised to return it to you later, if you're still a little reluctant to part with it."

"How about we repay tenfold in the future?"

"Consider it as an interest rate increase."

Luffy is still shamelessly begging and pleading.

"It's not that I'm stingy, it's just that I really have other uses for this money, and I really can't give it to you."

Miss Nami's attitude remained very firm.

"What should we do???"

"I haven't had any meat or fish for so long, I really want to eat meat."

"Otherwise, this would work too. I would go work for them at a restaurant and use my salary to pay the restaurant owner back the money for the meat. That way, we would have food to eat."

"And there's also alcohol to drink, it's a really great idea."

"I'm quite impressed with myself. I'm really too smart to have come up with such a great idea."

Luffy rolled his eyes and said.

Roronoa Zoro warned Luffy that if they followed his idea, they would likely waste too much of their time.

"How can this be allowed?!"

"It will affect our sailing schedule. If you work for the boss there, I'll have to sail alone."

"If your boss asked you to work for him for a year, would you really stay on this island for the entire year and not move forward?"

"In that case... when will I be able to become the Pirate King?"

"Don't you want to realize your dreams?"

“I don’t have that much time to waste on this island.”

"I need to keep moving forward. I need to get into the Grand Line as soon as possible, find that guy, and then realize my dream."

"Yes, that would really be a bad deal."

Chapter 337 Great minds think alike!

　"We absolutely cannot waste too much time here; we must hurry and enter the Grand Line."

After listening to Roronoa Zoro's analysis, Luffy couldn't wait to enter the Grand Line.

"Are you two idiots even listening to me?"

"With these two small boats, there is absolutely no way we can enter the Grand Line."

"Moreover, with just a few of us, we have no way to defeat the other pirates."

"The Grand Line is fraught with dangers and is not as simple as you imagine."

"In my opinion, the first thing to do after arriving at this island is to find a way to get a decent pirate ship."

"It should be at least a bit bigger than these two small boats we have now."

"That way, we won't have to worry about the small boat capsizing if we encounter strong winds, big waves, or torrential rain."

"Find a decent-sized pirate ship, one that has cabins and rooms."

"Not only do we need a kitchen, but we also need a bedroom so that we can survive on a pirate ship."

Miss Nami is so thoughtful.

"This woman is truly exceptionally intelligent. If it were me, I would never let her leave. I would do everything in my power to keep her here as my strategist."

Naruto Uzumaki immediately took a liking to Nami, feeling that she was perfect as a strategist to help them devise plans.

"She is indeed a very clever little girl."

Hashirama Senju also took a liking to Nami, feeling that this woman was extraordinary and had the potential to be molded into a strategist.

"Nami is Luffy's navigator."

"Of course he's Luffy's crewmate. Luffy would never give up on such a talented person."

"Don't assume that you're the only one who can see it, and that Luffy can't see it either. Don't imagine Luffy to be as stupid as he appears in the picture."

"Luffy is also a very smart person, but he is serious and doesn't like to laugh. He likes to joke around and has a very optimistic attitude. He doesn't take any difficulties seriously."

"They already know what kind of person Miss Nami is, otherwise why would they keep chasing after her and trying to prevent her from joining them?"

"Miss Nami really has no choice. If she could really get away, she would definitely go sailing with Luffy. Unfortunately, he has his own things to do and too many things to worry about."

"If one day he really finishes dealing with all the troubles around him, Miss Nami will definitely go and adventure with Luffy."

Sakura Haruno said to Naruto Uzumaki!

"Looks like we're of the same mind, hahaha."

Naruto Uzumaki cupped the back of his head with both hands and laughed heartily as he spoke.

"That young lady is indeed a very capable woman, extremely efficient. You can tell from her big, bright eyes."

"Moreover, she is very articulate. A woman who is so eloquent and quick-witted is definitely not someone to mess with."

Madara Uchiha said.

"His meticulous mind and thoughtful approach to problems are quite similar to our Nara Shikamaru, aren't they?"

Choji Akimichi glanced at Nami on the screen, then at Shikamaru Nara beside him, and said...

Chapter 338 A righteous liar!

　"Why compare me to that woman? It's really troublesome. Women are just so troublesome."

Nara Shikamaru said, holding his head in his hands.

"I'm just saying that you two are very similar, I'm not comparing you two, after all, you're not from the same world, so there's no way to compare you."

Choji Akimichi explained.

The screen then showed the same beautiful little fishing village from before.

It seems Luffy and his crew haven't arrived at this island yet.

"Pirates are coming! Pirates are coming! Something terrible has happened! Pirates are coming!"

The long-nosed guy in the picture is walking along the path in the middle of the village, shouting incessantly.

"There are pirates! There are pirates!"

"Run! Run! Pirates are coming! Pirates are really coming!"

The long-nosed man's cries for help kept echoing along the country lanes.

"Pirates! Pirates! Everyone, run!"

"Something terrible has happened! Something terrible has happened! Pirates are coming! There are pirates!"

The long-nosed fellow, panting heavily, ran until he reached a dilapidated thatched hut, where he could run no more. He stopped and gasped for breath.

After wearing it for a while, once outside, this long-nosed guy suddenly stood up straight, raised his arms, and shouted towards the sky.

"Pirates and all that stuff is just a lie to you guys."

"Hahaha, I was just kidding you guys!"

The long-nosed guy suddenly burst into laughter.
