Thump, thump, thump—
A gentle knock sounded on the study door, and warm yellow light cast a silhouette onto the wall.
"Come in."
Setting down the drawings she had finished reviewing, Nami took off her glasses and rubbed her eyes. She drew a deep breath, then raised her arms in a long stretch.
"Mmm~~, phew—"
Afterward, Nami began gathering the drawings and documents scattered across the desk, neatly stacking the thick pile of blueprints.
Over the twelve years she had spent traveling the world while staying on Small Skypiea Weatheria, she had finally finished drawing and organizing nautical charts for every route on the Grand Line, including every island along them.
She had personally surveyed and meticulously mapped every one of them. They were also accompanied by Sea Navigation Guidance Manuals produced by Weatheria's meteorological scholars after their in-depth studies of local climate patterns.
The stack of documents in her hands would be worth a fortune if put on the market.
Once she had sorted the papers, Nami leaned back against her chair and let out a satisfied breath.

Reiner slowly approached from behind, wrapped his arms gently around Nami, and rested his chin lightly
