First Meeting with Nami

Ye Feng said to everyone on the dock, "Don't be afraid, everyone. I called it here to use as a ship."

After hearing Ye Feng's words, one of the disciples on shore loudly shouted, "Amazing, Senior Brother! You actually tamed a Sea King, the ruler of the sea, and turned it into a mount!"

A year ago, all the disciples of Isshin Dojo had witnessed Ye Feng instantly master their teacher Koushirou's peerless swordsmanship, and he often taught them sword techniques as well.

So they had long since acknowledged his position as the senior brother of Isshin Dojo.

Ye Feng waved at the people on shore and said, "Goodbye, everyone! I'll be back!"

Then Ye Feng stomped his foot on the Sea King beneath him, pointed forward, and said, "Set off!"

The enormous Sea King beneath Ye Feng slowly headed out toward the open sea.

Just as Ye Feng was about to leave, Zoro immediately ran to the edge of the dock and shouted, "Ye Feng, just you wait! I'll train hard in swordsmanship, and one day I'll defeat you. I'm the one who'll become the world's greatest swordsman!"

After hearing Zoro's words behind him, Ye Feng turned around and said, "Zoro, I'll be waiting for your challenge in the New World. But when that time comes, I'll still be the one who wins."

After saying that, Ye Feng turned back around. The Sea King beneath his feet sped up, until Ye Feng's figure disappeared from everyone's sight.

Watching Ye Feng vanish into the distance, Kuina looked at Zoro with determination in her eyes and said, "Zoro, in three years, I think I want to set sail too."

After hearing Kuina's words, Zoro nodded. Then he thought of something and said, "If we both leave, will we be leaving Teacher all alone?"

Kuina glanced at Zoro and said, "Aren't you supposed to set sail later than me?"

After hearing Kuina's words, Zoro shook his head and said firmly, "No, I'm setting sail too. I'm a man who'll become the world's greatest swordsman."

Standing beside them, Koushirou sighed after hearing the two of them. "Sigh! Just as expected, daughters can't be kept once they grow up. And the other one wants to leave too. Can you really bear to leave me, a lonely old man, behind?"

At the thought of being alone in Isshin Dojo, he could not help but feel lonely.

At that moment, Ye Feng lay atop the Sea King's head, leisurely crossing one leg over the other as he considered whether to head to Cocoyasi Village to defeat Arlong and save little Nami, or return to Windmill Village.

As he drifted along atop the Sea King for several days, the fresh water and edible supplies he had brought from Frost Moon Village had long since run out!

Just as Ye Feng was worrying about dinner for the day, he suddenly spotted a huge, luxurious ship ahead. He tapped the Sea King beneath him with his foot and said, "Little Ox, go back to East Blue first."

After saying that, Ye Feng stood up, picked up the sword beside him, activated the Lingering Wave Steps technique, and leaped onto the sea in a single bound. Standing steadily on the water's surface, he ran toward the massive luxury ship.

A year ago, Ye Feng had already used the Divine Illumination Scripture to train the Lingering Wave Steps to the pinnacle of mastery.

When Ye Feng arrived on the ship, he saw that the nobles aboard were holding a banquet.

So he found an unlucky fellow, knocked him unconscious, stripped off his black evening suit, put it on himself, casually took a glass of red wine, and sat down in a corner.

Just as Ye Feng grew hungry and was about to look for food, his eyes suddenly lit up. Not far away sat a youth with orange hair, dressed in dark red and holding a glass of wine. Yet Ye Feng saw through her identity at a glance and murmured, "Oh! So it's little Nami."

One of the female leads of One Piece, indeed. She was truly beautiful.

Ye Feng picked up his wineglass, stood, and walked toward where Nami was sitting. Once there, he sat beside Nami, looked at her, and said, "Interested in having a drink?"

When Nami saw Ye Feng sit beside her, she secretly thought, He's so handsome! Then her gem-studded eyes swept up and down Ye Feng's body.

In the end, two words appeared in her mind: Rich man.

So she said to Ye Feng in a slightly rough voice, "Sure!"

Ye Feng smiled when he heard that. She's really putting on an act!

Just as Ye Feng was about to speak, the ship suddenly began to shake. Nami, who was seated beside him, lost her balance and fell into Ye Feng's arms, knocking him to the floor.

Ye Feng instinctively reached forward and grabbed something soft. His hand instinctively squeezed it, and Nami, in his arms, suddenly let out a soft moan. "Mm." The moment Ye Feng heard it, he understood what he had grabbed. She's already this well-endowed at such a young age. What will she be like when she grows up?

Just then, the door to the banquet hall was thrown open by a sailor from outside.

The sailor ran in fearfully and stammered to the people at the banquet, "Bad... bad news! We've encountered a pirate crew!"

When the nobles at the banquet heard that pirates had arrived, they immediately fell into panic.

Nami, who had fallen into Ye Feng's arms, felt a lecherous hand on her chest and instantly sprang out of his embrace. Her face flushed red as she glared at Ye Feng with a look sharp enough to kill. She already understood that he had discovered she was a woman. Gritting her teeth, she stared at Ye Feng and said, "If you dare tell anyone, I won't let you off."

After saying that, Nami turned and ran toward the ship's side.
