Nami Boards a Pirate Ship

In the East Blue Sea, a huge merchant ship is sailing, its sails adorned with a striking red and white umbrella-shaped logo that flutters in the wind.

"Sister Stussy! Why didn't you tell me you were coming to the East Blue?! I could have picked you up!"

Amidst laughter, a girl with orange hair, a voluptuous figure, and scantily clad clothes approached Stussy with a broad smile.

Stussy chuckled and patted the orange-haired girl's head, then said:

"Nami, haven't you always wanted to meet our behind-the-scenes boss and join the core of Umbrella Corporation? This time, our behind-the-scenes boss has come in person!"

Nami paused for a moment, then looked up at the captain's cabin. Stussy grinned, took Nami's hand, and pushed open the door to go inside.

Upon entering the captain's cabin, Nami's expression completely went out of control. What initially appeared to be only about 20 square meters turned out to be at least the size of a football field, with lush grass, vibrant flowers, and a small villa in the center!

Seeing Nami's silly expression, Stussy smiled slightly, said nothing, and quietly waited for Nami to come to her senses.

A moment later, Nami blinked:

"What's going on, Sister Stussy?! Have we already left the ship?"

"Of course not, Nami. This is the captain's cabin, it's just a Folding Space inside. Once you've actually met the big boss and he's one of your own, you'll see more of the world and won't be surprised anymore!"

Stussy smiled and explained a few words to the surprised Nami, then led her toward the villa in the middle.

In front of the villa's gate, a beautiful girl with white hair, a hot and tall figure, was fast asleep on the table. However, as Stussy and his companion approached, the girl suddenly opened her eyes and looked at them.

"Oh, it's Stussy!"

The white-haired woman yawned and shook her head, revealing two rather conspicuous ghost horns.

"I thought it was someone important. Hmm, is this the new member you were introducing?"

"Yamato, you're asleep again! I'll tell the boss!"

Stussy said with a smile, Yamato immediately blushed, muttering to himself that he was a dragon and not a watchdog, which made Stussy giggle.

Nami kept her head down and didn't say much. Although Yamato seemed to have no airs Yamato was very friendly, with her excellent Observation Haki, she could still sense the terrifying power hidden beneath the cute appearance of the white-haired woman in front of her.

Stussy and Yamato exchanged only a few words before parting ways. Upon entering the villa, they found themselves in a small living room.

In the reception room, a beautiful woman with long, straight black hair and a quiet demeanor, dressed in a black leather jacket, sensed someone's arrival. She closed the large book she was holding and looked up at the two people.

"Stussy, is this the genius navigator and treasurer you introduced?"

"That's right, this is Nami. Robin, you should also get to know her. If she joins us later, she'll probably be your second-in-command!"

Stussy, with a smile on his face, led Nami over by the hand and introduced her to Nami:

"Nami, the beautiful woman in front of you is Nico Robin. She is the big boss's personal secretary and deputy. The money that the entire Umbrella Corporation operates basically flows from her hands!"

Clearly, Stussy knew exactly how to motivate Nami. Upon hearing this, Nami's eyes lit up with Beli, and she grabbed Nico Robin's hands with both of them.

"Sister Robin, my name is Nami, and I'm the treasurer of the East Blue Umbrella Corporation branch! Not to brag, but I'm really talented in financial management! You can entrust your funds to me from now on!"

Robin chuckled softly, glancing slightly at Nami, her gentle, husky voice carrying a hint of mockery:

"Cat Burglar?!"

Nami froze, her mouth agape for a moment before she managed a weak smile and said:

"Wh... what... Cat Burglar... Sister Robin, don't believe other people's rumors... I've retired from that line of work since Arlong's gang was brought down!"

"Alright, I'm not interested in your personal hobbies. At least you've done a good job as the treasurer at Umbrella Corporation and have never embezzled any funds. As for your use of your position to secretly steal from those heartless rich people and some pirates, no one will investigate."

Nico Robin offered a couple of amused explanations, which brought Nami was covered in a cold sweat, back to her senses, and she gave a dry laugh.

Fortunately, I didn't do anything reckless. I did my job well and never had any ill intentions towards the funds provided by the Umbrella Corporation. Otherwise, it would probably be too late to resign now...

Well, it's not a problem for ordinary employees to resign from Umbrella Corporation, but if they have signed a contract and dare to run away, or leak Umbrella Corporation's secrets, or damage Umbrella Corporation's interests, those employees usually suffer a terrible fate!

Do you really think Umbrella Corporation is a benevolent company? Even if it's not as ruthless as the original Umbrella Corporation, the Pirate World version of Andrella is definitely not a nice guy!

Stussy exchanged a knowing glance with Nico Robin. Both women were equally cunning, and they had silently put Nami in her place. Although Nami was clever and quick-witted, she was far less shrewd than the two women.

Even in terms of cunning and scheming, the current Nami is probably a little less cunning than the original... In the original story, she stayed in the Arlong Pirates for nearly eight years, but now she has only been in the Arlong Pirates for about three years.

Nami's experience changed, which was also a butterfly effect caused by Vegapunk. When Vegapunk was secretly building his Umbrella Corporation, it was based on the Four Seas, especially the East Blue.

Because of East Blue Garp, a max-level player, who frequently comes to ambush lower-level players, the East Blue is truly peaceful and tranquil. Any pirate who dares to stand out is basically crushed in one fell swoop.

Let alone pirates, there isn't a single powerful individual with Haki among the forces of these countries, which shows how peaceful the East Blue is. As a result, the Umbrella Corporation has put in a lot of effort here.

Among them, the Arlong Pirates became the chicken used as a warning to others in the development of the Umbrella Corporation because they acted too aggressively. At that time, Nami, because of her intelligence and vigilance and her hatred for the Arlong Pirates, played a significant role in the destruction of the Arlong Pirates and was noticed by the Umbrella Corporation and recruited.

Nami lived up to her role as the heroine of the original work, playing a vital role in the Umbrella Corporation's East Blue branch, both in terms of finance and understanding of ocean currents. She quickly rose through the ranks and became an important manager of the branch.

Because of her good looks, social skills, and sweet talk, Nami soon made contact with Stussy, a behind-the-scenes boss with lesbian tendencies. This time, Stussy brought her here to find Vegapunk Bay.

Of course, a gentle reminder along the way was also necessary to prevent this Cat Burglar from getting too cocky and doing something outrageous. Nico Robin, living up to her title as the Devil Child, completed this task with Stussy's tacit understanding.

With Nami's emotions fluctuating wildly, Stussy finally arrived at the innermost part of the villa.

Pushing open the door, the first thing Nami saw was two beautiful maids with light green hair, who looked like sisters, standing on either side of the sofa. Their already exquisite appearance, coupled with their gentle and obedient expressions, made even Nami, who was very confident in her looks, feel a sense of pity for them.

The big boss of this Umbrella Corporation seems to be a bit of a womanizer...

Nami thought to herself that since she entered this place, all she had seen were great beauties, with top-notch temperament and appearance. She wondered where the owner had collected them from.

Nami doesn't seem to care much about her boss's lecherousness. Well, considering her reputation in the original story where she charges 100,000 Beli for a single glance while taking a bath, it's hard to say how low her morals can go...

As long as she's not forced, using her beauty is something Nami can do effortlessly, which actually has some advantages for her.

As Nami was thinking, her gaze fell on a man and a woman sitting on the sofa, and her breath hitched slightly.

"So beautiful... so handsome!"

On the sofa, a stunningly beautiful woman with a cool and aloof demeanor was lazily reclining on a handsome Blond Young Man. Her body seemed boneless, and her two large, soft breasts created an alluring curve.

The Blond Young Man, his eyes half-closed, was fiddling with something that looked like a laptop. He looked up only after hearing Nami's voice. His gaze towards Nami was rather strange; Nami didn't seem like he was looking at a beautiful woman, but rather as if he were looking at something unusual.

"You must be Nami, the head of Umbrella Corporation's East Blue branch!"

"Uh, yes, yes, it's me!"

Nodding, Vegapunk felt a little strange. This was the first time he had felt the power of the butterfly effect. The others were all caused by Vegapunk's own actions, but he hadn't done anything to Nami. As a result, the Cat Burglar had now become the head of the Umbrella Corporation branch.

Well, of course, she doesn't seem to have given up her Cat Burglar job either, it's just become a side job.

Nami was also a little flustered, mainly because she hadn't expected her biggest boss to be such a young and handsome man.

"Let me take a look at your resume... You were introduced by Stussy. Are you planning to join our core team?"

Although it felt a bit strange, Vegapunk clearly didn't intend to push Nami away directly. Given Nami's current situation, she probably wouldn't want to join the Straw Hat Pirates even if they asked her to.

As for whether Luffy will be wiped out as soon as he enters the Grand Line without Nami as his navigator? Hmm, what does that have to do with Vegapunk?

"Yes, boss, please give me a chance!"

Nami flashed a smile like a lucky cat and spoke to Vegapunk in a fawning manner.

"There is an opportunity... but I'm afraid you're not bold enough."

Vegapunk tilted his head and said something meaningful.

"Don't worry, I've always been brave enough!"

Nami patted her chest and, amidst a ripple of waves, spoke with unwavering determination.

While Umbrella Corporation may not be a completely reputable company, it is considered to have a high level of ethical standards in the global context.

In Nami's mind, it was at most some shady business, such as smuggling, arms dealing, Mercenary operations, and the like.

This kind of thing is certainly not legal, but compared to the slave trade, certain illegal narcotics, and the sale of human organs, it is much better!

"Great! The company needs young, energetic, and ambitious employees like you!"

Vegapunk nodded approvingly, then casually picked up a Wristwatch from the table and handed it to Nami.

"Wear this Wristwatch, and you'll be a core member of our Umbrella Corporation!"

Nami blinked, picked up the Wristwatch and put it on her wrist. Then she felt a slight pain in her wrist, as if a needle had been inserted from the Wristwatch and pierced her wrist.

Then a large amount of electronic information was transmitted from the Wristwatch and entered her brain directly. After a moment of dizziness, Nami stared at Vegapunk in disbelief.

Good news: The core of Umbrella Corporation does not need to manage those gray transactions, and has nothing to do with those black transactions.

Bad news: The Umbrella Corporation's ultimate goal is to overthrow the World Government and rule the entire world!

"Boss... is there still a chance for me to go back to be the manager of East Blue?"

Seeing Nami's mournful expression, Vegapunk shrugged.

"Of course there's a chance! Don't worry! We won't force anyone!"

"Real!"

"Really, at most it will just require erasing your current memories."

"Erase memories? Not murder to cover it up?"

"How could that be? Even if erasing memories could easily turn someone into an idiot, we still wouldn't do something like murder to cover it up!"

Nami's face fell. Turning into an idiot is no better than being murdered to cover it up!

I'm really on a sinking ship now... Hmm, I should send the 300 million Beli I've saved back to Orange Village. At least I can make a contribution to my village before I die, and that will make things a little better for Nojiko...

As for betraying her, putting aside the fact that Nami still has some moral bottom line, and that the Umbrella Corporation has done her a great favor, she wouldn't do such a thing.

Not to mention, the information conveyed by the bracelet already indicated that it contained a special confidentiality procedure.

Although Nami didn't know whether the security program contained a bomb in the bracelet or some kind of Electronic Pulse, or how the program determined whether she had leaked information, she certainly didn't want to try anything reckless.
