It climbed onto Nami’s head, sprawled out, and tilted its head to examine its own image on the wanted poster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Meow-oo~\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nomi Zi nodded with satisfaction and tapped the photo with its tail, as if to say—\"Look, how photogenic I am!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A vein slowly pulsed on Nami’s forehead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She took a deep breath, struggling to suppress her erupting rage, but her voice still trembled:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No... mi... zi...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You get—down here!!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She lunged to grab Nomi Zi from her head, but the little creature reacted with lightning speed, performing a nimble roll to dodge, then landing on her shoulder while blinking innocently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Meow?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’re still playing dumb!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nami gritted her teeth. \"Why is all the credit for my hard work being taken by you? What, are you the Flame-Flame Fruit user? Are you worth one hundred million berries? Are those idiots at Marine Headquarters all blind, ahhhhhhh!!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nomi Zi was finally caught, its cheeks being squished and deformed by Nami. It hurt, and it looked aggrieved, on the verge of tears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gin, sprawled by the railing, wagged his tail rapidly, watching the scene with schadenfreude.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hehe, it’s great; at least it’s not me bearing the brunt of this anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What is Senior Gin being so smug about?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Siano couldn't stand it anymore; he raised his leg and gave Gin a kick, sending him overboard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There's no point in saying so much to it; it doesn't understand.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Siano rescued Nomi Zi from Nami’s hands and placed it on his own head with a chuckle. \"Look, you always let it stick to you like this, rarely separating. I guess that’s why the Marines thought the flames that day were released from it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So, the Marines think Nomi Zi is a flamethrower, and you’re the one holding it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Smoker exhaled a smoke ring and said gloomily, \"Tch, a cat tree, huh...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Go to hell, Smoker!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thump!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nami couldn't take it anymore and punched Smoker on the head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Smoker was instantly bruised, his cigar sent flying. He clutched the swelling bump, disbelieving:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That makes no sense. You don't even know Haki; how did you hit me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Didn't I tell you fire beats smoke!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nami clapped her hands. After venting, she felt much more refreshed, but when she saw her wanted poster, which still only had an eighty-thousand bounty, her face fell again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There's still a chance.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nami clutched the bounty poster, walked to the bow, and gazed at the distant sea with determined eyes. \"There must be another chance. In the next battle, I will definitely prove...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Prove what, for heaven's sake!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nami suddenly tore the wanted poster to shreds, scattered it into the sea, and roared at the ocean with tears in her eyes:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There won't be a next time! I’m never looking at bounty posters again!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just you wait, Marine Headquarters!!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sooner or later, I’ll follow my brother to storm Marineford and turn the entire harbor into a raging sea of fire. Let's see if you can still misidentify my abilities then!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This resentment... it’s already broken through the sky.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crew looked at the orange-haired figure in front and subconsciously shivered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seems that for the next two days,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>it would be best to avoid provoking her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"By the way, Smoker,\" Nojiko asked, turning around, \"what’s your bounty? You skipped over it earlier.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It went up a little.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Smoker withdrew his gaze from Nami’s back and glanced at the wanted poster in his hand. \"One hundred and sixty million.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Damn it, still so much more than mine!\" Nojiko said indignantly, then asked, \"What about Uncle Zeff and Robin?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Like Gin, Old Man Zeff’s bounty hasn't changed; he didn't make a move that day, which is normal. As for Robin...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Smoker flipped through the papers, then raised an eyebrow in surprise. \"...Strange, there doesn't seem to be one for her.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"None? How is that possible?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nojiko didn't believe it and searched for a while herself, but she really couldn't find one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It makes sense, though.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Smoker pondered. \"After all, Robin didn't make a move that day, and because we were in the desert, she wore a local-style sun hat and sunglasses the whole time. I guess the reporters didn't recognize her, so there were no photos. That’s why Marine Headquarters has no way of knowing Robin is on our ship.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Robin held her coffee and took a sip, her gaze calm, saying nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What’s wrong? Are you thinking, 'Ah, as expected, I still can't be considered a part of this ship'? But that’s fine, at least someone with a dark past like me won't drag these guys down, or something like that?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Siano sat down across from her at the round table and laughed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't worry, it won't be hidden for long. I’m actually quite curious to see what expression the World Government will have when they find out you’re on my ship. No matter how furious they get, it won't seem to matter.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Robin’s fingertips trembled imperceptibly, and tiny ripples appeared in the black coffee in her cup.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She looked up at Siano, wanting to retort, but ultimately remained silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All this time, she had always been the one hiding in the shadows, quietly observing others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet this black-haired boy who brought her onto the ship could always see through her little thoughts at a glance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Deep down, she had indeed just felt a flicker of that self-pitying emotion...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Where to next, Captain?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Robin elegantly set down her coffee cup, naturally changing the subject with a smile. \"If I remember correctly, the next stop on the Alabasta route points to Jaya Island. Are we going there?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Jaya Island?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Siano recalled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he remembered correctly, by following the Knock-Up Stream nearby, one could leave the Blue Sea and head to the Sky Island ruled by Enel, right?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, he shook his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No. The World Government’s level of attention on us has completely spiked. If we continue along this route, the risk is too high, and we’ll easily be ambushed. We need to change things up.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Necessary precautions must be taken.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He felt that Jaya Island was likely already crawling with Marine eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who knows, maybe if he pushed open the shutters of some tavern, some guy in a cap would already be waiting for him at the bar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I remember you have Eternal Poses for all the islands around Alabasta, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Siano looked at Robin. \"How about this: remove Jaya Island, and remove the ones that would mean backtracking like Drum Island. Cover the labels on the rest, and let’s draw a prize.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We go wherever we draw?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nojiko’s eyes lit up. \"Good idea! I’m in!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m in too.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Me too. After all, unknown adventures are more fascinating.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The rest of the crew nodded one after another.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then wait for me here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Robin walked to her room and returned shortly with a backpack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clatter—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A dozen Eternal Poses with covered labels scattered across the round table, their glass casings refracting crystal-clear light in the sun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Come on, Captain.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Robin chuckled and made a gesture of invitation. \"The choice of fate.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My luck has always been very good.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Siano picked one up at random and examined it against the sun. The needle inside the glass cover trembled slightly before stabilizing, pointing northwest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let’s go! That’s where we’re headed!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Siano laughed, tossed the pose high into the air, and caught it steadily. \"To this... well, I don't even know what island this is!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…………\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the blink of an eye, three days passed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The *Rakumu* continued to sail at full speed across the sea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the climate of the Grand Line is always unpredictable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One second it was clear skies, the next, black clouds swallowed the entire sea area like a giant beast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rumble!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lightning began to flicker faintly in the distant sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It seems a formidable storm is about to descend.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nami stood up from the rattan chair under the parasol and looked up at the sky, murmuring.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, she had already moved past the blow to her bounty. She extended her fair palm, feeling the flow of the wind, her expression grave. \"It’s much more terrifying than all the previous times combined.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Siano said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His luck had indeed always been good; in the month since entering the Grand Line, the number of natural disasters the *Rakumu* had encountered could be counted on one hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had only hit storms a few times, and the scale wasn't large. Relying on the sturdy hull made of Adam Wood, they had passed through without incident.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this time, the situation seemed different.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Attention, everyone!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nami shouted back. \"Lower the sails, both the main and secondary masts, and turn the helm hard to port!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before the words left her mouth, raindrops the size of beans began to pelt down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At first, it was just a few scattered drops, but in the blink of an eye, it turned into a torrential downpour. Amidst the thunder and lightning, the raindrops hit the deck with a loud clatter, as if millions of pearls were shattering at once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Damn it!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Smoker scrambled to put on his raincoat and rushed to the helm. \"I’ll handle the steering. Nami, don't stay on the deck; go to a place where you can avoid the rain and give orders!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Understood, I’m counting on you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nami nimbly vaulted onto the second-floor open-air sword dojo and reached the eaves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her soaked orange hair clung to her cheeks; she brushed it aside, squinted, and gazed into the distance through the rain curtain. The strong wind whipped against her face, but it didn't affect her sharp gaze in the slightest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Break through from the ten o'clock direction; the clouds are thinnest there! Taking this direction will allow us to rush out of this storm-covered area at the fastest speed!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Understood!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone immediately went into action.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Smoker didn't hesitate to follow Nami’s instructions, spinning the helm rapidly in that direction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nami’s navigational talent had long been recognized by everyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Smoker, who had come from the Marine Headquarters elite camp, had to admit that among the many colleagues he had seen, Nami’s navigation skills were second to none.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whoosh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, the gale intensified, screaming as it tore at the waves. The originally gentle seawater turned violent, raising waves over a hundred meters high, roaring as they crashed toward the deck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Swish!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A black shadow flashed by, and Kuina appeared at the bow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wind Barrier.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She whispered calmly, her thumb lightly pushing the sword guard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clang—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wado Ichimonji was unsheathed, and a biting sword wind erupted at this moment!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, the air in front of the bow twisted and vibrated, and a gale sword aura over ten meters wide blocked the way, constructing a translucent wind wall above the deck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The hundred-meter-high surging giant wave crashed into the wind wall, and the impact force, which should have been destructive, vanished without a trace, as if a clay ox had entered the sea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only a small portion of the seawater at the edges turned into fine rain and sprinkled on both sides of the ship, causing absolutely no impact on the *Rakumu*.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Eh? It just swallowed it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nojiko’s eyes widened. \"Did you learn this from that Wind Sword Art manual too? It’s too magical, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had originally been prepared to make a move to freeze the incoming giant wave into ice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The giant wave came fast and fierce, and she actually wasn't very confident about it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She didn't expect Kuina to resolve the crisis so easily with just one sword strike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah, I only had a small breakthrough with this move yesterday; it was a good chance to test it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kuina smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although her expression was calm, she was breathing slightly heavily; it was clear that compared to \"Flash Slash,\" this move consumed more of her physical strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still need to practice more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kuina sighed inwardly. The Wind Sword Art was truly too profound; as of now, she had only mastered a superficial grasp of it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What was swallowing one wave?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If she could fully master the \"Wind Barrier,\" according to the manual, it could swallow all forms of long-range attacks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She didn't know when she would reach that step...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She shook her head, returned to her senses, and looked up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the eaves of the second floor, Nami didn't relax because the giant wave had been easily swallowed; instead, she stared into the distance, her expression even graver.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was it because the storm was intensifying?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kuina turned back and looked at the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the pitch-black clouds, lightning danced wildly; every flash illuminated the entire sea area like daylight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The roar of the waves became increasingly dense, like the growl of a deep-sea beast, and the surrounding currents suddenly became chaotic and violent, beginning to stir rapidly like a whirlpool.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, no! These current anomalies shouldn't be appearing at the same time...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nami stared fixedly at the sea surface, suddenly realizing something. Her pupils contracted sharply, and she shouted:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s a super-large Sea King! The storm is too big, it’s disturbed the big guy lurking on the seabed in this area, and it’s venting its rage!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As if to confirm her words, a huge bulge suddenly rose on the sea surface, with a diameter of over a thousand meters, and the surrounding sea began to churn violently as if boiling—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A cyan tentacle over a hundred meters thick broke through the water, carrying tens of thousands of tons of seawater, and smashed angrily toward the *Rakumu*!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Oh no!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kuina was shocked and immediately drew her sword to block, but upon contact, she was directly smashed away by the tentacle and fell heavily onto the deck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Kuina!\" Nami screamed, her face deathly pale.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just at this critical moment—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The door to the training room was suddenly kicked open, and a black shadow shot out like a cannonball, stepping on the deck to create spiderweb-like cracks before soaring into the sky!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Elbaf Spear...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Siano’s figure collided with the tentacle, yet he remained unmoved. He curled his lips, and his right fist, wrapped in Haki, smashed fiercely toward the giant figure that blotted out the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Weikoku!\"\u003C\u002Fp>",2430,"2026-06-17T09:04:16.852Z","2026-06-18T03:30:09.135Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","28613ed0286a0600b954e49edfd47e9507ad4a44f6c4e9deafc860c0201648c5","one-piece-starting-by-finding-red-haired-s-sever-chapter-98","one-piece-starting-by-finding-red-haired-s-sever-chapter-96",139,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fone-piece-starting-with-shanks-severed-arm-cover.jpg"]
