"It's purely because this guy is a complete directional disaster! He can't even tell east from west."
After drifting at sea for days, flying aimlessly, he couldn't even tell which way was which. Without a navigator, he couldn't even find an island!
Upon hearing this, Tashigi, who had been looking grim and conjuring up a grand conspiracy, froze instantly, completely dumbfounded.
... Is he directionally challenged?!
The reason this peerless powerhouse, capable of defeating Hawk Eyes and instantly killing Smoker, is looking for a navigator... is simply because he doesn't know the way?!
At this moment, Uchiha Xin, whose biggest weakness had been exposed in public, instantly lost his composure.
He slowly turned his head, though the Twelve-Tomoe Tensei Rinnegan was not yet visible.
But a dangerously cold glint flashed in his dark eyes as he fixed his gaze on Perona was laughing in his arms.
Feeling the chilling killing intent that sent shivers down Perona's spine,
Terrified, he immediately fell silent, covering his mouth tightly with both hands, not daring to utter a single fart.
Then, Uchiha Xin withdrew his dangerous gaze, turned to look at Tashigi who was still in a daze, and made a promise in a low voice.
"I'm going to find the navigator, specifically to target the wicked pirates who occupied that island."
"I assure you, this trip will not harm a single innocent villager, and we might even wipe out all the pirates entrenched on the island while we're at it."
Upon hearing these words, Tashigi's eyes flickered as her mind rapidly weighed the pros and cons.
She had witnessed this man's methods and knew that his strength far surpassed everything else; he would rather die than reveal his exact location.
Given the enemy's terrifying flight capabilities and search range, they could arrive sooner or later even if they lingered in the East Blue for a few more days.
If I anger him by concealing the truth, it might bring Cocoyasi Village to its doom.
In the end, Tashigi took a deep breath and chose to believe his promise that it was only aimed at evil pirates.
Head southeast... follow the thirteenth current.
Tashigi raised her hand and pointed to a sea area below the clouds, giving a clear indication: that was Cocoyasi Village.
Guided by Tashigi, Uchiha Xin, along with Perona and Tashigi,
We sped through the air and arrived safely at Cocoyasi Village in the East Blue China Sea.
Uchiha Xin Earth Flow into the village with Perona and Tashigi.
I hadn't walked more than a few steps into the village when a pretty girl with short orange hair walked towards me.
The girl was walking with her head down when she caught a glimpse of Uchiha Xin and Perona out of the corner of her eye, and her eyes lit up immediately.
She could tell at a glance that the clothes the two were wearing were of excellent quality. The man had a noble and domineering air about him, and although the woman was wearing a maid outfit, the fabric and workmanship were definitely top-notch.
A rich young man from out of town!
Nami immediately started calculating in her mind, her face instantly breaking into an incredibly enthusiastic and radiant smile as she quickly went to greet him.
"You two are here for tourism, Cocoyasi Village has beautiful scenery!"
Want me to be your tour guide? Just 100,000 Beli a day, guaranteed to satisfy you!
Nami blinked her big eyes, looking innocent and harmless.
But in his heart, he was plotting how to fleece this fat sheep so that he could raise the 100 million Beli needed to buy the village.
Uchiha Xin stopped in his tracks, put his hands in his pockets, and looked down at the girl in front of him.
Nami, the Cat Burglar.
Uchiha Xin addressed her calmly, directly calling out her name.
These five simple words were like a bucket of cold water, instantly extinguishing the enthusiasm on Nami's face.
The smile on her face froze abruptly, and she instinctively took two steps back, her hands instantly reaching for the three-section staff hidden on her outside thighs.
Who are you?
Nami stared warily at Uchiha Xin, her mind racing.
She had absolutely no recollection of ever having offended this person.
The fact that the other person immediately recognized her nickname clearly meant they had investigated her beforehand and came specifically to find her!
"Don't be nervous," Uchiha Xin said calmly, pointing to Tashigi had just returned from scouting.
Let me introduce you. This is Tashigi. She's a righteous Marine who came specifically to punish the Arlong Pirates.
Upon hearing the word "Navy, "Nami was taken aback for a moment, then her face revealed undisguised mockery and disgust.
The Navy? Came specifically to subdue the Arlong?
Nami let out a cold laugh, her eyes filled with disappointment and anger:
"Don't joke around! Your navy and Arlong are birds of a feather!"
"That colonel called Nezumi comes to the Arlong every month to collect money!"
They've been in cahoots for years, oppressing us ordinary villagers. Your navy is rotten to the core!
Upon hearing this, Tashigi's face instantly turned bright red, her expression filled with disbelief.
Impossible! How could the Navy collude with pirates! This is absolutely slander!
Tashigi retorted loudly, her strong sense of justice making it utterly unacceptable to her.
Slander? Nami scoffed.
This is a fact known throughout the East Blue! What can you so-called naval forces do besides collect money?
Nami didn't want to waste any more words with them. She looked at Uchiha Xin and Tashigi and waved her hand impatiently.
"Get out of here before the Arlong finds you!"
The Arlong Pirates are not someone that delicate young masters like you and naive marines can afford to mess with.
Staying here will only lead to your death!
Uchiha Xin wasn't angry because of Nami's attitude.
He looked at Nami and said frankly, "You've misunderstood. I have no connection with the Navy or pirates."
I've come here only to recruit you as my navigator.
Upon hearing the words "navigator, "Nami's wariness not only didn't lessen, but intensified.
She looked Uchiha Xin up and down, her eyes filled with wariness.
Not a navy officer or a pirate? Then why are you looking for a navigator?
Nami crossed her arms and snorted coldly:
I think you're either after my beauty or a pirate in disguise! I will never board your ship!
Uchiha Xin, not wanting to beat around the bush, simply proposed a deal.
"Trying to take advantage of your beauty? You're not qualified. "Uchiha Xin's tone was domineering.
"I only value your seafaring talent."
"Let's make a deal. I'll help you deal with the Arlong Pirates and completely liberate your village."
In exchange, you will follow me wholeheartedly from now on and be my personal navigator.
Nami was stunned by these words.
Then, she burst into a disdainful laugh.
Defeating the Arlong Pirates? You think you can take them down?
Nami seemed to have heard the biggest joke in the world, and pointed at Uchiha Xin, mocking him:
"Do you know who Arlong is? He's the most wanted criminal in the East Blue with a bounty of 20 million Beli!"
They are truly powerful Fish-Man pirates!
"The strength of Fish-Man is ten times that of a human! He also has a large group of ferocious Fish-Man subordinates!"
It's simply not something an ordinary person like you can contend with!
"Who do you think you are? Admiral? Stop spouting nonsense and run for your life!"
