Nami, You're Just Coveting the Golden Emperor's Fortune-You're Greedy!

Robin and Aokiji reached a "Yamato the century".

Storm breathed a sigh of relief.

Considering the numerous issues facing Whole Cake Island and the New Marines.

Storm did not give the two a "break" on the spot.

However, the matter of "going to Elbaf" has already been put on his agenda.

Whether it's because of Saul or because of the Giant Kingdom itself.

Storm will definitely have to go to Elbaf someday!

Aokiji chatted with Robin for a few more minutes, and his worries completely disappeared.

To be honest.

Aokiji was quite worried that Robin wouldn't be able to let go of the past and would continue to hate him.

Fortunately, this little girl has grown up and is no longer as extreme and scheming as before...

That's a good thing.

"My problem has been solved, your plan..."

Aokiji looked at Storm, recalling the undercover team named "Watchmen," but didn't say it out loud.

"We can discuss this in more detail later when we have time."

"Good."

Storm readily agreed, and he said meaningfully.

"Furthermore, the New Marines's 'justice' is different from the Old Marines's 'justice.' Shouldn't the Admiral ' 'justice' also evolve with the times?"

"Oh dear... this is indeed a big problem."

Aokiji smiled but didn't say anything more. He simply turned around, raised his right hand, and waved it a few times in the air.

"I will think about it carefully..."

Aokiji accompanied Storm to the Sky Garden specifically to deal with Robin's situation.

Although he was also very curious about the "son of the Pirate King".

However, the New Marines is not the same as the Old Marines.

After being persuaded by Storm, Aokiji and other New Marines also abandoned the idea that "the son of the Pirate King must die."

Not to mention.

That "son of the Pirate King" is also the "grandson of Hero of the Marines."

As Garp's disciple, Aokiji always felt that his position was somewhat awkward.

I decided not to see Ace at all.

Just as Aokiji's figure was about to disappear from Storm's and the others' sight.

"Captain."

Nami asked in a low voice.

What did you mean by that?

What I mean is...

Storm watched Aokiji's retreating figure and deliberately raised his voice.

"If anyone tries to pull this 'Lazy Justice' again, I'll break their chicken leg!"

By then.

In Storm's eyes, there are no "Aokiji," only "Aokiji"!

Robin saw it clearly: Aokiji's previously dashing figure suddenly staggered, and she couldn't help but squint.

"This Aokiji 'Admiral personality is much more interesting than I had imagined."

"What nonsense are you talking about, Robin?"

Storm couldn't help but glance sideways at the archaeologist.

"You dared to imagine Aokiji's personality before?"

Robin paused for a moment, then spoke in a serious tone.

"... Why wouldn't you dare?"

"Hey~"

Nami couldn't help but rub her arms.

"Big Sister Robin, please don't do this, I'm scared."

"Um?"

Robin suppressed the smile in her eyes and gave Nami a cold glare, her sharp gaze almost piercing through the Little Thief Cat's chest.

"Nami, what did you call me?"

Nami's heart skipped a beat, and her small face instantly lit up with a smile as she pleaded in an overly sweet voice.

"Sister Robin ~"

"Hey~"

This time it was Storm's turn to feel disgusted.

Nami's smile faltered; she put her hands on her hips and glared angrily at Storm.

"Captain! You've gone too far!"

"Sorry, I'm allergic to cat fur."

Storm, in a serious tone, steered the conversation back to official business.

"By the way, Robin, I think I talked to you about this before, right?"

"Once we get to Totto Land World Economic Journal, I'll recommend you to Morgans, the Big News Bird, and you can help me manage it."

Storm had indeed discussed this task with Robin quite some time ago.

Robin's intelligence-gathering abilities are indeed outstanding.

Storm was at ease letting Robin World Economic Journal his work.

"I see."

Robin nodded slightly, without asking any silly questions like "Will Morgans refuse?"

The Pirate Emperor's orders are something even the Dark World King cannot refuse.

At this point, Nami started causing trouble again.

"Captain ~"

Nami started to strain her voice again, looking at Storm with a pitiful expression.

"Could I help you manage Gran Tesoro?"

Nami knew that Storm had recruited a new subordinate—Gild Tesoro, the Gild Tesoro.

From the moment she learned of this news, Nami began to fantasize about how to seize the Gild Tesoro's gold.

Storm glanced at the Little Thief Cat and bluntly exposed her disguise.

"So you want to manage Gran Tesoro?"

"You're just eyeing Gran Tesoro's gold!"

"Little Thief Cat, your name is 'greed'!"

Normally, if Nami suffered such a blow from Storm, she would immediately abandon her previous futile fantasies.

But that's the Gild Tesoro's wealth!

The legendary world's largest entertainment city, a super-giant ship entirely made of gold!

Nami said, unwilling to give up.

"Captain, I'm very good at managing finances! Just let me go to Gran Tesoro!"

"Don't think about it."

Storm extended his index finger and lightly tapped Nami's forehead.

"I would never let the Little Thief Cat into a room full of catnip."

"Pfft--"

Robin couldn't help but laugh out loud when he heard this wonderful analogy.

Nami looked utterly disappointed.

Although she was very unhappy, she couldn't find any reason to refute it.

Storm forbids Nami from managing Gran Tesoro.

It wasn't because he didn't trust Nami's character.

Rather, it's more accurate to say that he didn't let Nami go to Gran Tesoro precisely because he trusted Nami's personality too much.

Not to mention.

Tesoro has managed his business very well.

The Gild Tesoro has already shown sufficient loyalty to Storm.

Storm stopped sending Nami to cause trouble for Tesoro.

"But."

Storm had just teased Nami, and now he was patting her head.

"If you want to go to Gran Tesoro and learn real economic management strategies from Tesoro, I wouldn't object."

"After all, we already possess a very, very large amount of wealth, which requires professional management."

Nami blinked, and the annoyance in her heart slowly disappeared.

"Captain, what you mean by 'our wealth' is... that I'm to manage?"

Storm couldn't help but smile as he looked at Nami's hopeful face.

To be fair, the Storm Pirates do possess a considerable amount of wealth.

Leaving aside the distant past...

The wealth left behind by the BIG MOM Pirates alone is enough to keep the Storm Pirates "fed and drunk to their hearts' content"!

As the saying goes, "When the Big Mom falls, the White Dragon gets its fill."

With so much gold and silver in his possession, it wouldn't be right for Storm to simply throw it all into the "Treasure of the King."

When it comes to money, the best way to handle it is still --

Make money work for you!

There weren't many people among Storm's men who were skilled in this area.

Tesoro is one.

Nami is definitely one of them.

On trust.

Storm's trust in Nami far surpasses that in Tesoro.

He ruffled Nami's hair again.

"Who else could it be but you?"

Nami immediately cheered with joy.

"Long live the Captain! White Dragon, sail away!"

Amidst the enthusiastic cheers of the Little Thief Cat.

Storm reunited with the main force of the Storm Pirates.

He assigned tasks to both Robin and Nami.

It's time for the remaining members of the Storm Pirates to make a choice.

When Storm returned.

Bear and Bonney are here too.

"Captain, brother!"

When Bonney saw Storm, she ran up to him and hugged his leg tightly.

"Arigato! (Thank you!)"

Why are you being so polite today?

Storm half-squatted down and gently pinched Bonney's cheek, and the marks of the Azure Jade Scales scar on her face were noticeably lighter.

"What did Dr. Vegapunk say?"

"The doctor said I'll soon be able to run freely in the sun!"

Bonney giggled.

"He has a huge head! And he's very powerful!"

Storm tilted his head.

Children's words are always so hard to understand.

Is there a causal relationship between "big head" and "powerful"?

While it certainly exists for Vegapunk...

"I'll give you a big gift the day you fully recover."

Storm patted Bonney's head, stood up, and looked at the rest of the Storm Pirates.

His gaze was mainly focused on Ace, Kid, and Law.

"Do you have an answer to the question about 'choice' that I mentioned before?"

"You want to stay in Totto Land and fight directly with the pirates of the New World?"

"Or do you want to sail alone for a while, from Paradise to the New World?"

This right of "choice" was given to Ace and his group by Storm when they were in the North Blue.

Now, facing Storm's question.

Kid paused for a moment, then stepped forward.

"Captain, I want to go back to the South Blue, form my 'Kid Pirates,' and then bring my crew to the New World to see you!"

"Can."

Storm nodded, not surprised by Kid's choice.

However, Kid added at this point.

"Captain, Killer is coming with me."

"No problem, you're 'brothers' to begin with."

Storm nodded again, approving it outright.

"I'll have Nami approve some 'initial funding' for you later."

Kid didn't quite understand what "initial capital" meant.

But it's probably money?

He readily agreed.

Kid was a gang leader before, but after being away from Belfast Island for so long, his gang is probably long gone.

Storm provided an "initial capital," which would conveniently eliminate the need for Kid's "initial capital accumulation."

"Captain."

Following closely behind Kid, Ace spoke slowly.

"I also want to go to the South Blue."

The other crew members were not surprised by Ace's decision, but they were puzzled by his choice of location.

Ace did not explain.

Storm had a vague suspicion.

Perhaps Ace wanted to visit Baterilla Island...

"Um."

Storm nodded slightly and looked at the last person.

"Luo, what's your choice?"

"I obey your command."

Luo said calmly.

"Captain."

Two updates.

It's getting late... I don't want to stay up late tonight.

I'll update earlier tomorrow.
