"Whoosh!"
In a clothing store, the curtain of the fitting room was lifted.
Little Nami came out wearing an adorable outfit.
"How do I look, Ryuen? Is this outfit nice?" Little Nami spun around in front of Ryuen like a little peacock.
Before Ryuen could speak, the shop owner started praising her: "It's perfect for you, customer. This outfit is like it was made just for you!"
The shop owner was afraid Ryuen would say it didn't look good, so he used all the flattering words he could think of.
Then, little Nami tried on one outfit after another until she had tried all the clothes she liked.
By this time, Ryuen was so tired he could barely keep his eyes open.
"Ryuen!!!" Little Nami shouted angrily in Ryuen's ear.
"Huh? It looks great! Nami, you look so cute in this outfit!" Ryuen's sleepiness was scared away, and he quickly praised Nami.
"Hmph! Liar!" Nami didn't believe Ryuen's sweet words.
But she did like the clothes she had just tried on, and then Ryuen saw Nami's special skill.
That was bargaining!
Little Nami bargained with the shop owner for each piece of clothing.
In the end, Nami bought all the clothes at one-tenth of the price, and even got a dozen more for Nojiko and the others.
Ryuen was amazed. Nami was perfect for living together!
She was the epitome of thriftiness!
"Hehehe, that shop owner thought he could fool me. No way!" Nami walked ahead with a proud look on her face as they left the clothing store.
And Ryuen followed behind her, carrying a big bag of clothes like a little follower.
Nami was now wearing a cute little sundress, which made her sunny and sweet appearance even more adorable.
Cute little Nami~
At this moment, a sexy and charming Marine Lieutenant Commander was escorting a large group of pirates down the street.
The Marines seemed to be showing off their success and also trying to scare off any pirates who hadn't shown up today.
Ryuen and Nami quickly moved to the side to avoid them.
People on the street were talking about it.
Some praised the Marines' bravery loudly, some didn't dare to speak, some glared angrily, and some praised the Marine Lieutenant Commander's sexy figure.
When Ryuen saw a pirate with different handcuffs, he became interested.
If he guessed right, those were sea stone handcuffs, and that person must be a devil fruit user.
Sea stone is a good thing. Ryuen planned to borrow some from the Marine base.
When they returned to Cocoyasi Village, he could use it to train resistance to sea stone; otherwise, it would be dangerous if they encountered sea stone in the future.
"Ryuen, what are you looking at?" Little Nami saw Ryuen staring at a pirate and tilted her head to ask.
"I'll tell you later. Let's find a hotel first." Ryuen said softly, looking away.
"Oh~ let's go then." Little Nami was curious but didn't rush.
They quickly found a fancy hotel, got a room with a soft bed, and ordered a fine meal.
They were starving after a busy day.
After the hotel owner brought a lot of delicious food, Ryuen and Nami happily started eating.
"Ryuen, can you tell me now?" Nami asked after putting a piece of meat in her mouth.
"Nami, I remember telling you that devil fruit users are not only afraid of seawater but also of something called sea stone." Ryuen said while eating.
"Yes, I remember that. And then?" Nami didn't understand.
"Seastone has a similar effect to the sea, but unlike seawater, you can build resistance to Seastone through contact.
If we have Seastone, we can train to resist it, so we won't be too worried if we get attacked with Seastone in the future!" Ryuen stopped to explain to Nami.
After hearing Ryuen's words, Nami's eyes lit up.
She was very weak now, and it would be terrible if someone attacked her with Seastone.
If she couldn't use her Door-Door Fruit powers, she would just be an ordinary little girl, and that wouldn't do!
"So, Ryuen, are you planning to get some Seastone to train resistance?" Little Nami asked curiously.
"Exactly! I saw that some of the pirates caught today were Devil Fruit users and were handcuffed with Seastone.
So I thought we could go to the Marine base tonight and borrow some Seastone," Ryuen said casually.
Nami found it a bit strange. Borrow? She couldn't quite understand.
"Alright, let's fill our stomachs and get a good sleep. We'll act tonight." After saying that, Ryuen happily continued eating the delicious food.
"Oh, I get it~" Nami didn't care if it was really borrowing.
As long as it benefited them, she supported it.
The two kids happily decided on their plan for the night, then filled their stomachs and rested on a comfortable soft bed.
But the Marine base wasn't peaceful now.
When Captain Hobart returned, he found that a training notebook and several Grand Line maps were missing from his office.
He turned the base upside down but couldn't find the intruder.
Even the surveillance Den Den Mushi didn't capture how this woman infiltrated the Marine base.
So until now, Hobart hasn't given up on finding this annoying masked person, as the whole thing was too strange.
This masked person knocked out the Marines and then disappeared.
And the Marine who was knocked out didn't even see how the masked person attacked.
"Captain Hobart, do you think it's possible that this masked person is also a Devil Fruit user?" Just as Hobart was puzzled, Lieutenant Commander Lamy suggested her idea.
Captain Hobart suddenly realized: "Yes, yes, she must be a Devil Fruit user, otherwise she wouldn't disappear so quietly.
And it should be a power related to space, which is troublesome, having such a Devil Fruit in East Blue."
What's worse is that she took his training notes, which recorded the training methods for Marine Rokushiki and Haki.
If he doesn't catch this masked person now, she will become even more troublesome after learning Haki.
Moreover, Hobart guessed that the masked person's ultimate goal was to go to the Grand Line, otherwise, she wouldn't have taken the Grand Line map.
"Lieutenant Commander Lamy, immediately monitor Loguetown's port closely and watch if this masked person tries to go to the Grand Line from here!" Hobart ordered immediately.
"Yes, Captain Hobart!" Lieutenant Commander Rami saluted and went out to arrange it.
"Masked person... you better not let me catch you!"
Hobart's eyes gleamed with a hint of bloodthirsty expression.
