Chapter 7: Compensation for Mental Distress (Fourth Update, Begging for Flowers)

Some of these pirates, the moment they hit the water, immediately swam toward the deserted island,

heading straight for its interior,

desperate to get as far from Li Xiao as possible!

And the rest,

simply stayed right where they were in the sea,

not daring to come ashore for the longest time,

terrified Li Xiao might casually cut them down!

Seeing the ship was safe,

Li Xiao finally let out a breath of relief,

turned his head to look,

and saw Nami staring at him, utterly dumbfounded,

still unable to come back to her senses!

In fact,

the reason she had stopped at this deserted island

was very simple!

Nami knew perfectly well

that with her little boat,

there was no way she could escape the pursuit of the Shark Pirates!

Being caught up to was only a matter of time,

so, having no choice,

she could only pick the nearest deserted island to dock at,

hoping to use the island to buy herself some maneuvering room,

and then seize the chance to escape!

However,

when she came ashore, she unexpectedly discovered Li Xiao!

Surviving alone on this deserted island,

and able to hunt down wild boars half a man's height.

Based on the conditions at hand, Nami quickly analyzed the level of strength of the man before her,

and even if he couldn't match the Shark Pirates,

she figured he should have no problem protecting himself!

That was why she had deliberately dragged him into the water,

wanting him to buy her some time to escape!

Everything up ahead had been going smoothly,

however,

what she hadn't expected was

that while she was sneaking away, she got caught and brought back!

And what she hadn't expected even more was

that the strength of the man before her far exceeded her imagination!

He hadn't done any maneuvering at all,

but had cleaved the captain of the Shark Pirates clean in two with a single sword strike!

Ah, this…

For a moment,

Nami actually couldn't tell whether she had truly escaped danger or not!

If you said she hadn't,

The Pirate Crew Has Already disbanded on the spot!

But if you said she had,

she couldn't shake the feeling that she had just escaped the tiger's den only to fall into the wolf's lair!

While Nami was still dazed,

Li Xiao Has Already returned from the pirate ship.

He slowly sat down beside Nami, stuffed a piece of wild boar meat into his mouth,

turned his head and grinned at her:

"I don't recall Little Cat Thief Nami being my sister…"

Hearing this,

Nami gave a slight start,

and immediately reacted.
