Chapter 26

but if they remain on this land,

then one day after Li Xiao leaves,

the Nami Has Already Society will likely return to the days of oppression!

After all,

what has always pressed down on the Cocoyasi Village was never just Arlong alone,

but the entire Arlong Pirates!

Given the strength of the ordinary villagers of Cocoyasi Village,

they are not even a match for a single officer of the Arlong Pirates!

Li Xiao pointed to the Arlong Pirates boarding the ship at the shore,

and replied:

"I was just about to tell you this; I plan to set off right now and send them to the Navy's G-16 Branch."

"Since they are pirates, it is naturally best to leave them to the Navy to handle, after all, it is a perfect match of expertise!"

Hearing this,

Nami nodded involuntarily,

clearly agreeing with Xiao's Thoughts as well.

If Arlong and his crew are truly imprisoned by the Navy,

then the Cocoyasi Village will likely truly be able to return to tranquility!

But soon,

Nami thought of another question,

and involuntarily asked:

"Then, after the matter is resolved, will you come back?"

Li Xiao paused slightly, then smiled and said:

"We'll see; the Dagailu Society is that I will return, but it is also possible I will change my itinerary on a whim."

Hearing this,

Nami felt slightly disappointed,

but still nodded,

saying nothing more.

A moment later,

the members of the Arlong Pirates had all boarded the ship.

Li Xiao waved to Nami,

turned around, and prepared to board the ship and set off.

However,

after taking just two steps,

Li Xiao felt a pair of arms wrap around his front,

and a soft, warm body hugged him from behind.

Immediately after,

Nami's voice entered his ears.

"Thank you!"

Having said this,

before Li Xiao could even react,

Nami let go of her hands.

Li Xiao turned to look,

and saw that Nami Has Already stepped back several paces,

smiling as she waved at him.

Seeing this,

Li Xiao chuckled and shook his head,

saying nothing more,

turned around, and boarded the ship,

raising the sails and setting sail!

Li Xiao stood at the bow of the ship,

and could clearly see Nami's figure standing on the shore the whole time,

watching the ship sail away.

Not far behind her,

one could vaguely see people running over in groups,

it must be the villagers of Cocoyasi Village arriving.

…………

Generally speaking,

within a normal pirate crew,

it is usually the navigator who is responsible for piloting the ship,

and the navigator of the Arlong Pirates is none other than Nami!

However, due to Nami's rather special situation,

she belonged to a semi-external personnel category,

at most drawing sea charts,

and basically would not help the Arlong Pirates crew sail the ship.

Therefore,

there were still other navigators within the Arlong Pirates,

and the current ship was being steered by him.

The other fish-men all stayed quietly on the deck,

while Li Xiao moved a lounge chair onto the deck,

lying on it quite contentedly to bathe in the sunlight,

with a fish-man behind him giving him a massage,

quite comfortable!

The only flaw was that

this fish-man's massage technique was truly not great;

the pressure was either too light or too heavy,

making Li Xiao cannot help but miss Nami's massage technique.

Maybe,

in the future, I should find an opportunity to stay on the Straw Hat Pirates' ship for a while,

and enjoy Nami's massage properly again?

But then again,

the entire Arlong Pirates crew has been taken away by me in one go,

will Nami still board Luffy's ship in the future?

…………

While Li Xiao kept letting his thoughts wander,

the ship cut through the sea surface,

steadily advancing toward the target Marine G-16 Branch.
