Carina patted Nami's shoulder. Her eyes gleamed with mischief as she said generously, "Fine, you can have it. I won't fight you over it."
Makino smiled warmly. "Don't worry. No one's going to take it from you."
"We sisters can talk things out. We're not going to squabble over one Devil Fruit."
Desaya smoothed her red-and-yellow hair and gave a faint smile. "Better Devil Fruits will come along. I'm in no hurry."
The others nodded, smiling as they let Nami have the Illusion Fruit without a fight.
"I'm so happy. I really am!"
Nami's eyes sparkled. She clasped her hands together again and said gratefully, "Thank you, everyone. I'll remember what you've done for me. I'll never forget it."
Chris rose, as calm as ever. "Let's go."
