Her gaze was almost unnaturally calm, as though she had known all along that this would happen.
"Heh, that's right. You're all very clever."
They had seen right through it.
"No man in the world can resist bowing to my beauty!"
Not a single one could escape.
"But I have a weakness for powerful men."
She really did.
"And Luffy is the strongest of them all!"
The fiercest kind.
"I love a brute like him!"
The fiercer, the better.
Beside her, Nami swallowed hard. Cold sweat kept streaming down her face, no matter how often she wiped it away.
She nearly buried her face in her collar.
She couldn't help thinking that these people had their priorities completely backward.
She had no idea how things had taken this turn.
"Haha, I've seen boys like him before."
He had seen it all.
"I thought he was nothing special at first!"
Turned out he had judged him wrong.
"But now I see he's the real deal."
The real deal.
"That brute is ridiculously brutal!"
Beyond ridiculous.
"So there really are women who go for brutes!"
What a surprise.
"For a guy like Luffy to find a woman at all is quite a feat!"
He had to give him that.
What a strange world.
Utterly absurd.
"All right, all right. I'm liking Luffy more and more."
The more he watched him, the more he liked him.
"He should keep charging ahead just like that!"
As long as he didn't stop.
"That's only because I haven't stepped in."
He didn't like getting involved.
"One punch from me would leave them half-dead!"
One hit would settle it.
"These fists have more than enough power."
No question about it.
"If I really got into a fight, I'd pound them into the ground!"
No contest.
The mood
