Upon reaching the port, Zoro, Johnny, and Yosaku saw a group of Marines crowding the area. At the sight of the three men with the highest bounties in all of East Blue, the Marines noticeably paled. Zoro didn't even think to slow down: the swordsman was completely unconcerned about the presence of a good thousand soldiers in his path. Johnny and Yosaku, upon seeing the Marines, were positively gleeful, sincerely hoping that the entire crowd would now attack them. More blood for the God of Blood! After Zoro had thoroughly crushed the guys' confidence in their own strength, Johnny and Yosaku were more than willing to boost their self-esteem at the expense of weaker opponents. Yes, it was low, yes, it was underhanded, but they were sneaky pirates, not noble knights. They could get away with it. However, to Johnny and Yosaku's great disappointment, the Marines, upon their approach, began to prudently step aside, clearing the way to the ship. And on the ship, the guys were met with another surprise.
"Boys, are you all done too?" Nami asked with a dazzling smile as soon as they climbed aboard.
The girl, lounging on a deck chair, was sunbathing topless, wearing only black thong panties that left very little to the imagination. She had sunglasses on, the familiar straw hat on her head, and a book in her hands. Beside her was a small plastic table with a steaming cup of coffee and several freshly baked buns neatly arranged on a plate. Zoro, Johnny, and Yosaku immediately understood why the Marines closest to the ship had such glazed-over expressions.
"Nami, damn it, did you do this on purpose?!" Johnny immediately began to protest loudly at the sight of the beauty sprawled before him. "I just got out of a brothel, and now I already want to go back! You could at least remember that you're the only woman on the ship!"
"And that's my gift to you," Nami replied, running her hand over herself without a hint of embarrassment. "You can stare until you're satisfied and then lock yourselves in the bathroom; I won't mind. And besides, no one is forcing you to look… Usopp, for example, isn't looking."
Usopp, dressed in a brand-new yellow jumpsuit, sat down near Nami and indeed paid no attention to the girl. The long-nosed guy, tongue out in concentration, was crafting some strange contraption that Johnny couldn't make sense of.
"With Usopp it is not that simple," Johnny said thoughtfully, making a serious face. "Personally, I've long suspected that when we left the island, that Not-So-Undead Chick of his cut off his manhood. I can't think of any other reason why he's so indifferent to you."
Despite being busy, Usopp couldn't ignore such a statement:
"You're the Not-So-Undead one!" he indignantly shouted, pushing his special magnifying glasses up onto his forehead and turning to face Johnny. "Her name is Kaya, and she didn't cut anything off!"
"Words, words..." Johnny waved his hand in the air. "If even our unshakable Zoro is affected by Nami's bare breasts, then only a complete eunuch could remain indifferent to her."
"Leave me out of this," the annoyed swordsman interjected. "Nami, you'd better tell us how you got past the marines," Zoro added, turning to the girl. "Or did they let you through too?"
"The mares were waiting for us outside the shop, and after a short negotiation, they were so kind as to not only escort us to the ship but also carry our things," Nami answered, beaming with self-satisfaction.
That was pretty much what Zoro had expected.
"Got it," the swordsman nodded slightly and then headed toward the galley.
Zoro wouldn't mind a bite to eat, and judging by the sounds coming from the galley, Sanji was in the process of cooking something tasty... Sanji didn't cook anything that wasn't tasty.
"Yosaku, why are you so quiet?" Johnny turned to his friend, who hadn't said a word all this time. "Say something already!"
"Why are you wearing a thong?" Yosaku immediately said 'something' in Nami's direction.
"That's not what I meant!!!"
"But I did… Nami almost always sunbathes naked, and here's a thong... it's weird if you ask me."
"Because they'll have to make do," Nami replied with a disdainful curl of her lips. "My boobs are enough for them. And I'm not interested in watching hundreds of drooling virgins."
With Nami's unreal beauty, it was easy to forget that she was a completely shameless person who never hesitated to use her looks for her own purposes. The recent changes in her appearance, her rapidly growing personal strength, and Luffy's influence had only made the situation worse. Nami was, without any exaggeration, becoming more and more dangerous. Beauty, almost complete lack of shame, and brains — if she wanted, the girl could manipulate men like brainless puppets. Johnny had no doubt that if Nami put in just a bit of effort, she could easily start a full-scale war between nations. And that's without having to jump into anyone's bed… if you added the bed, the war might only end with the complete destruction of all sides. Or with one side achieving total domination.
"Speaking of drooling… how did you get rid of our Sanji?" Yosaku asked. "I thought he decided to settle at your feet."
"I told him I'd fall out of love with him if he didn't prepare a full banquet for our crew to celebrate leaving the East Blue," Nami said with a sly smile.
"I used to think that one day we'd die because of another one of Luffy's stunts, but now I'm starting to doubt who of you two will get us killed first," Johnny said, looking at the girl. "Sure, Luffy gets involved in everything, but he can't get involved in things that are out of his reach. However, your boobs and butt could attract the attention of even the world's strongest people."
"Then you all need to quickly become part of that group, and we won't have any problems," Nami flashed Johnny and Yosaku a disarming smile. "Because the boobs and butt you mentioned belong to Luffy, and no one else will get them."
"I knew it! You two are sleeping together!!!" Johnny exclaimed, pointing a finger at the girl.
"There's only one bed in the cabin, so of course, we sleep together," Nami replied, slightly frowning and looking a bit confused, as if she didn't understand why Johnny felt the need to state such an obvious fact.
In response to the girl's words, there was the sound of a double slap — the sound of Johnny and Yosaku's open palms colliding with their faces. Luffy wasn't on the ship, but the guys still heard his words, albeit spoken in a female voice.
"You know perfectly well what I meant!" Johnny finally said.
"No, I don't. Could you clarify?" The girl was openly mocking the guy and didn't hide it at all, because everyone in the crew knew about Johnny's exaggerated curiosity. "Or were you thrown off by my words about my boobs and butt belonging to Luffy? Well, I can assure you that your butt belongs to him just as much as mine does," Nami delivered another blow to Johnny.
