"..."
Nami gritted her teeth and glared at Akihara Kagura.
Of course, Nami wasn't willing to spend this money. She could even give her life to these companions, but she truly didn't want to spend this money from her heart!
However...
This guy had a look that he wouldn't let anyone go without seeing the money.
In the Orange Garden.
This was left by Nami's adoptive mother, Belle-Mere.
Now, this orange garden was also Nami's treasure trove. She put all the pirate treasures she had stolen over the years here, and soon it would amount to a hundred million Berries...
"Stealing is a crime..."
Akihara Kagura picked up Nami's treasure chest with one hand and hoisted it onto his shoulder, educating the orange-haired woman who looked like she wanted to cry, "Since it's a crime, you always have to be punished."
"..."
Nami ground her teeth in silent hatred.
"..."
The Straw Hat Pirates watched with their eyes wide open as Akihara Kagura carried away the treasure chest, each person feeling a bit downcast, but more so, panic.
Because...
They all knew how much Nami loved money!
"It feels like..."
Zoro glanced at Nami, whose face was clouded, and his heart started racing, "This amount of money will likely be calculated onto us by this woman..."
"It was spent because of you all in the first place!"
Nami bit her little white teeth, clenching her fist in anger, "Do you have any idea how long I struggled to save up that money? Now it's all spent to protect you! Once we're at sea, we have to find some treasure to make up for it first!"
Defeating Ah Long was one thing; she could sacrifice her life for them. But losing a big sum of money because of them was another!
These accounts...
Must be settled one by one!
"I'll go get it back..."
Luffy's face shadowed.
The Straw Hat boy spoke in a genuinely serious tone, "If it's for dreams, I could die to become the Pirate King, but..."
"Be a bit more honest!"
Nami was startled by Luffy and punched him on the head, "This matter has nothing to do with you. It's just that I stole that jerk's orange peel, and he deliberately took revenge, not to protect you idiots!"
"By the way."
Akihara Kagura, carrying the treasure chest, turned back to Nami's sister, Nojiko, "On the way back to the base, I might get thirsty. Could you pack me a bag of oranges?"
"..."
Nojiko hurriedly packed him a bag of oranges.
"Taking it all..."
Nami looked at this scene, even more furious.
Akihara Kagura, with a treasure on his left shoulder and oranges in his right hand, said, "Because of this bag of oranges, I'll tell you a piece of news that might save your lives..."
Akihara Kagura looked at the young group, seriously advising, "If you go to Log Town, be sure to be careful; it's quite dangerous there..."
"Perhaps..."
Akihara Kagura's lips curled into a grin, his gaze landing on Luffy, "A Navy Admiral might appear in Log Town to capture pirates!"
"Navy Admiral? Log Town?"
Luffy looked at Akihara Kagura, full of questions.
Because Luffy didn't know what a Navy Admiral truly meant, he only knew the terror of a Vice Admiral, and his Vice Admiral grandpa almost killed him countless times when he was a kid!
"Log Town, huh..."
Nami frowned, very familiar with the East Sea's waters, "We want to enter the Grand Line, but the Merry's cargo hold can't hold much, and the Grand Line's situation is unknown. We have to pass through Log Town to restock..."
In comparison...
Sanji alone was filled with worry.
Sanji had heard of the Navy Admiral's reputation and was even a bit shocked, "This guy... must be joking... How could a Navy Admiral possibly appear in such a small place!"
Theoretically speaking.
A Navy Admiral can't possibly appear in such a small place.
Unless some major incident happens, like a pirate so powerful that a Navy Admiral must handle them, or a Heavenly Celestial Dragon getting beaten up...
East Sea.
On a small island.
The island had a dense forest.
A luxurious passenger ship slowly passed by here.
On the deck of the passenger ship stood an arrogant man, with a tall hair bun, wearing a tightly covered outfit, with a square hood over his head.
He was a Heavenly Celestial Dragon.
Most Heavenly Celestial Dragons are active on the bustling Shampodi Islands on the Grand Line and even participate in auctions, etc. Some Heavenly Celestial Dragons wear round hoods, while others wear square air helmets.
The only purpose of these air helmets.
Is because the Heavenly Celestial Dragons consider themselves noble gods who don't want to breathe the same air as mortals, believing that the air breathed by ordinary people is filthy to them.
Saint Mjosgard.
This is the name of that Heavenly Celestial Dragon.
Every male Heavenly Celestial Dragon's name ends with "Saint"; every female Heavenly Celestial Dragon's name ends with "Palace".
Even in names...
They demand separation from ordinary people.
Evidently.
This Saint Mjosgard conforms exactly to ordinary people's impressions of the Heavenly Celestial Dragon, with a sneer on his face, holding a hunting rifle in his hand, as if he has his own unique interests as a Heavenly Celestial Dragon, except his prey is human.
On a small mountain.
