Chapter 5

just as Li Xiao was deeply immersed in the check-in rewards and couldn't extricate himself,

in the eyes of Nami on the side,

Li Xiao had been standing still since getting off the ship,

not moving at all,

and she didn't know what he was thinking about.

So after hesitating for a moment,

she still reached out and tugged at Li Xiao's arm,

and said: "Hey, where are you planning to go next?"

Li Xiao came back to his senses and responded casually:

"Oh, I'll find a place to stay for now."

Hearing this,

Nami paused,

and continued to ask:

"If you don't mind, you can stay at my house for now, just consider it me repaying you for helping me get rid of the Shark Pirate Crew's pursuit."

After this day of getting along,

Nami also had a preliminary understanding of Li Xiao.

In her view,

Li Xiao shouldn't be a bad person,

plus Li Xiao did help her get rid of the Shark Pirate Crew's pursuit,

and even returned the Devil Fruit to her.

Therefore,

under the premise of what she could do,

Nami didn't mind providing some help to Li Xiao. ===== CHAPTER 15 =====

Hearing these words from Nami,

Li Xiao was slightly stunned,

and after considering for a moment, he agreed.

Although he had already completed the check-in for Cocoyasi Village,

he was in no hurry to leave for now.

Although the Mountain and Sea Sword Art was mastered directly with the system's help,

and the Purple Gold Exquisite Pagoda didn't need to be refined by himself,

their specific use still needed further understanding and exploration.

Rather than looking for a place to stay everywhere by himself,

it would be better to live directly at Nami's house,

which would save trouble.

[Redacted] Subsequently,

under Nami's guidance,

the two walked into Cocoyasi Village,

and headed straight toward Nami's house.

Passing through a small tangerine grove,

a wooden house appeared in front of them.

Before they even got close,

Nami couldn't wait to shout:

"Nojiko!"

As the words fell,

within a few seconds,

the door of the wooden house was opened,

and a woman older than Nami walked out of the house.

Blue-purple hair,

slightly dark skin,

this person was Nami's sister—Nojiko!

Seeing Nami's figure,

Nojiko instantly showed a smile,

waved at Nami, and said:

"Ya, Nami is back!"

Subsequently,

she noticed Li Xiao following behind Nami,

so she cast a questioning look at Nami,

obviously asking about Li Xiao's identity.

Nami hugged Nojiko,

pointed at Li Xiao and introduced:

"This is a new friend I met—Li Xiao, he'll be staying here for a while."

Hearing this,

Nojiko nodded and smiled:

"Then hurry in, it just so happens I just finished cooking, let's eat first!"

At this time,

it was nearing noon.

Although Li Xiao had snatched the Shark Pirate Crew's ship,

unfortunately,

there wasn't much food left on their ship.

It seemed that the food was almost exhausted,

and they were in a hurry to chase Nami,

so they didn't have time to replenish it.

Therefore,

the two could only get some fish from the sea to eat on the way,

barely filling their stomachs.

Now the two were even hungrier,

so they started eating as soon as they entered the door.

Come to think of it,

this was the first proper meal Li Xiao had eaten since transmigrating.

Before this,

Li Xiao could only hunt wild beasts,

and eat them after simply roasting them.

The only slight drawback was,

Nojiko's cooking skills were quite average,

and the ingredients were far from rich, mostly vegetable dishes.

Li Xiao couldn't help but think of the floating restaurant, ===== CHAPTER 16 =====

thinking about when to go to the floating restaurant,

to properly taste the gourmet food of the pirate world!

As a gathering place for many excellent chefs in the East Blue,

presumably it wouldn't disappoint him!

After the meal,

before Nojiko could say a few words,

Nami ran out in a rush,

saying she had urgent matters to deal with.

And Li Xiao didn't stay at home either,

he needed to find a suitable place to further understand the newly acquired Mountain and Sea Sword Art and the Purple Gold Exquisite Pagoda.

And Nami's house was obviously not a suitable place.

If he swung his sword,

and accidentally used too much force,

then tonight, he, Nami, and Nojiko would have to use the sky as a quilt and the earth as a mat...

Of course,

facing this situation,

Nami probably wouldn't be sad,

she would only lie on the ground,

calculating how many Berries she could extort,

and then thank the old iron for the gift!

Li Xiao found a remote and uninhabited place along the seaside,

his right hand moved slightly,

the Green Frost Sword was unsheathed,

and then he swung his sword toward the sea surface!

"Mountain and Sea Sword Art!"

At the same time,

Arlong Park,

in a room in the castle filled with nautical charts,

Nami and Arlong sat facing each other.

Arlong crossed his arms over his chest and laughed loudly:

"Yo, my dear navigator, why did you suddenly think of coming to see me?"

Nami looked at him and asked:

"Do you still remember our agreement?"

Arlong was slightly stunned,

then reacted immediately and responded:

"That's natural, why, have you collected 100 million Berries?"

Nami took out the Devil Fruit from her bosom,

placed it on the table,

and said slowly:

"This is a Devil Fruit,

although I don't know exactly what kind of fruit it is,

but on the black market, even the most ordinary Zoan-type Devil Fruit has a price of over 100 million Berries,

this Devil Fruit is enough for me to buy back the village, right!"

Looking at the Devil Fruit placed on the table,

Arlong couldn't help but show a look of surprise.

In fact,

over the years,

Arlong had always known how much money Nami's little treasury had saved.

Once it really reached 100 million Berries,

he naturally had ways to deal with this money,

thereby letting Nami continue to stay in his pirate crew to draw nautical charts.

According to his understanding,

although Nami's little treasury was almost accumulating to 100 million Berries,

it would still take some time,

so he wasn't in a hurry to take action.

However, what he didn't expect was that Nami had actually managed to get a Devil Fruit from somewhere! ===== CHAPTER 17 =====

However, what he did not expect was that Nami had somehow managed to get her hands on a Devil Fruit!
