2. Thieves who specialize in stealing from pirates
As a ninja, Sasuke is extremely sensitive to any danger.
The moment the kunai pierced the man's lower back, Sanosuke felt as if death itself had gripped his neck!
The kunai did not pierce the man's body because the man reacted in advance the moment the sharp blade was about to strike him, his muscles tensing like iron!
"He wasn't unaware of my approach at all... This man, from beginning to end, never saw me as a threat!" Sanosuke was secretly shocked.
Norton didn't stop eating, nor did he even turn around, as if nothing had just happened.
However, Sanosuke dared not launch another attack, as he felt that the dangerous aura surrounding him had not dissipated.
Redbeard couldn't stand it any longer and roared, "Sanosuke, what are you doing! Are you scared? If you're too afraid to go, then go die!"
Under pressure, Sanosuke was sweating profusely, but he didn't have the strength to respond to Redbeard.
Because Sanosuke felt that the invisible aura of danger around him was getting stronger and stronger, to the point that he felt that he would lose his life if he was not careful at all.
This feeling made Sanosuke hesitant to act rashly.
At this moment, the pirates who had just broken into the cabin brought the nobles and ladies back to the deck.
On the other side, the guards were also defeated by several combatants under Redbeard's command.
"Captain! A great catch!"
A tall, strong pirate threw a burlap sack onto the deck. The sack burst open, and the Berries, gold, and other valuables inside were scattered across the deck.
A rough estimate puts its value at over ten million Berries!
"I caught a woman in the cabin. She was a thief. Luckily, we were quick enough, otherwise she would have stolen all the treasures first!" said Gao the Great Pirate.
"What?!" Redbeard exclaimed angrily, "Where is that wretched thief?"
"That's her! Captain!" Another pirate pushed a girl with short orange hair in front of Redbeard.
"Hi~" Nami gave an awkward smile and waved to Redbeard.
Redbeard glared fiercely at Nami: "So it's you, daring to covet my treasure?"
Upon hearing this, the nobles exchanged bewildered glances. These were clearly their valuables; when did they become Redbeard's?
"Pirate sir, please spare us! We are willing to offer up all our Berries!" a nobleman couldn't help but plead.
Redbeard stroked his chin. Indeed, these nobles were of high status and wealthy families, and there must be much more treasure on board; the ship only held a small portion.
"Alright then..." Redbeard was about to agree.
"Foolish! Captain!" a skinny pirate immediately objected.
"Hmm? What's your opinion?" The red-bearded man looked at the skinny man.
"The lives of these nobles are in our hands, why should we listen to them?" the skinny man said.
The red-bearded man thought it made sense and nodded: "So what do you plan to do?"
The skinny man grinned maliciously: "Of course, we'll make these nobles obediently hand over the rest of their money, and then contact the navy to have them pay the ransom."
"This way we can make a killing! These guys are dressed so well and eat so well, they must be worth a lot of money, right? The Navy won't just stand by and do nothing!"
The red-bearded man clenched his fist and slammed his hand on his palm: "Yeah! How come I didn't think of that?!"
The nobles and ladies were ashen-faced. Shameless! This pirate is utterly shameless!
Not only do they not intend to let them go, but they also plan to squeeze every last drop of value out of them.
The skinny man chuckled, thinking that he should be rewarded for coming up with such a good plan for the captain.
"Captain, may I have this woman?" the skinny man asked, pointing at Nami. "I'll definitely punish this despicable thief properly..."
Nami's face turned pale as she tried to break free, but the pirates behind her held her down firmly, preventing her from moving.
The red-bearded man smiled. "Of course..."
The skinny man's face lit up with joy.
But the next second...
"Bang!"
With a gunshot, the skinny man fell to the ground, and moments later, blood flowed from his body, staining the deck red.
The red-bearded man blew away the smoke from his gun, giving the skinny man's corpse a cold glance: "Excellent idea, I'll take it. But unfortunately, my ship doesn't need anyone smarter than me!"
A hush fell over Nami, her mouth slightly agape, completely dumbfounded. What kind of move was this?
A scream erupted from the ladies, the nobles trembled, and even many pirates looked at Redbeard with fear in their eyes.
However, some pirates looked at Redbeard with fanatical worship.
How cruel! Look! Pirates should be like Captain Redbeard!
"So la la la la!"
Redbeard laughed and spread his arms wide, reveling in the terror of the crowd.
"Men! Do as I said! This is my idea! First, make these noble idiots hand over Berry! Then make the navy come and ransom him!"
"It's so noisy."
The man's voice abruptly interrupted the red-bearded man's maniacal laughter, drawing everyone's attention.
Norton ate and drank to his heart's content, then slowly wiped his lips with a napkin before finally getting up from the table.
He ignored the ninja Sanosuke, who was a few steps away and whose face was covered in sweat from nervousness, and walked straight towards Redbeard.
Sanosuke didn't dare to stop him at all... His mind told him that he couldn't let this man walk past, but his instinctive fear made him unable to control his body, and he could only stand frozen in place.
"What are you doing! Sanosuke! Stop him!" Redbeard roared.
Sanosuke gritted his teeth and suddenly shouted, "Captain! Run!"
"What?" The red-bearded man was stunned for a moment, then laughed in anger, pointing at Norton's face and saying, "You mean I should watch out for this vase?"
Norton didn't rush to make a move; his gaze fell on Nami.
Although he was eating, Norton had been listening to the commotion over there. A thief, short orange hair… could it be…?
"Hey, woman, what's your name?"
"Me?" Nami pointed to herself.
Norton nodded.
"Why do you have to tell me..." Nami looked unwilling. She was already annoyed by being caught, and this man kept asking her questions. Did he think he was so great just because he was handsome?
Tell me, and I'll save your life.
"My name is Nami! I'm a thief who specializes in stealing from pirates!" Nami immediately flashed a fawning smile. "Boss, if you save me, I can work for you~"
Norton took a deep breath. It really was Nami! Fate was indeed on his side!
If Norton were to name his favorite navigator, it would undoubtedly be Nami.
Based on the talents shown in the original work, one person is better than a professional team of nautical experts.
She was also the woman that the legendary pirate Shiki most desired.
Norton wants it too!
Nami felt a little uneasy when she saw Norton staring intently at her. It was just an act; did this guy really think she was going to work for him?
After being rescued, of course, the first thing they did was try to escape!
Hmm, if possible, we should also find a way to take the treasure with us...
