"By the way Luffy, what are we going to do here?" Zoro holding three swords in his waist said while walking straight the road but that didn't last long, he just took left.

"I said, we are looking for our navigator and how many times I told you, just walk straight" Luffy wearing a straw hat helpless look at Zoro who was just going to turn left. He caught Zoro's collar and drag him straight.

While they were walking, they heard some sound coming from another side of this road.

"Stop thieve" A hoarse voice sounded.

Finally, after some seconds, they saw a lady getting chased by two men.

This lady was the one Luffy is looking for. Of course, she is Nami, one and only Nami. Nami also saw Luffy and Zoro, when she saw swords hanging on his waist. She immediately calls from afar "Boss you are finally here"

But she didn't stop running, she just bypasses them and said "Boss please block them for me"

Of course, Zoro wouldn't act without Luffy order so he just glanced at Luffy. Luffy helplessly sighed and said "Just finish them quick"

Without even looking at Zoro, Luffy ran towards Nami shouting "Miss wait"

Nami stopped herself and asked "Aren't you going to help him? They are vicious pirates"

"Nah he is more than enough but making us fight but I have a business with you. Care to introduce yourself" Luffy didn't immediately ask her to join

"You do not even know my name but you want to have business with me. Isn't it a very strange mister?" Nami look at Luffy's eyes and answered.

"Of course my business is with your skill not name but without name how would I be able to point you," Luffy said with a smile, he knew now he looks nothing like simple-minded idiot Luffy so it would be very hard to conquer her but he isn't the type to give up. So he knows what to say and what not?

"My name is Nami, job thief" Nami introduced herself in a smile.

"Do you know navigation?" Luffy didn't introduce himself again but get to the point

"Yes I learned navigation from a very young age" Nami seriously nodded her head. At the point of navigation, she doesn't think anyone would be able to win her at least in east blue.

"My name is Monkey D. Pirate, the future pirate king. Welcome to the Straw Hats Pirate" Luffy posed holding his hat, with a big smile on his face. He invited Nami.

"No way in hell, I'm joining you" But Nami declined.

"But why?" Luffy asked

"Pirates are the people I hate most," Nami said in a sad voice.

"Is it because pirates did something bad to you or your family" Even though he already knew everything, he still needs to ask.

"Yes, they killed my mother and captured my village. Now they are living in our village, bullying us, taking everything that belongs to us. I wanted to gather 100 million baileys so that I can buy my village back" Unexpected to Luffy, Nami actually explained everything. She had little tears in her eyes.

"No wonder you really hate pirates. I'm sorry" Luffy straight up apologies.

"It's okay, so I won't join pirates" Nami shakes her head not blaming Luffy, still refused Luffy.

"But I really want you to join us. I want to enter Grandline and without a navigator, it is impossible so please join us" Luffy still insisted

"No" Nami refused without single words.

"If I can win back your village back to you. Will you join us?" Luffy insisted without giving up, he desperately wanted Nami to be his navigator.

"No you can't win and why do you have to insist on taking me in your crew" Nami was a little confused, why the other party is so interested in her even though they just met each other. She thought 'Could it be he fell in love with me on his first site? Yeah, that may be possible but I won't accept. I have my own responsibilities.'

While they were still talking, a green-haired man walked towards them. Well, it seems Zoro finished up everything soon.

"Captain, did you succeed in inviting our navigator?" Zoro asked from afar.

'What? They already knew about me' Nami was a little confused hearing Zoro.

"Yo Zoro seems like you finished up and again lost your way" Luffy sighed at Zoro direction instinct. He should have finished everything on some breathes and returned back but because he got lost. He arrived so late.

'Zoro, could it be Roronoa Zoro? Three Swords, yes, that is definitely Zoro, but why did he join pirate?' Nami got shocked upon Zoro's arrival. She could confirm, he is Zoro after all green hair and three swords. There are not many in east blue.

Then she looked at Luffy and thought 'Is this guy really strong?'

"Well I can't say the exact reason right now but you can think of it as an instinct. When we enter the New world I will explain everything." Luffy really couldn't say anything about this. Although he can explain this he can't say this now since it is related to rogers and shank.

Well, an excuse he thought is related to them or you can say he wanted them to relate so he won't say this now.

Both Nami and Zoro didn't know about the New World but they didn't ask.

After seeing Zoro she began to believe Luffy. But she still hesitated while asking "Are you really strong?"

"How about this idea? You and I form a partnership and travel towards your village and until then we will face many enemies that we have to fight. Let's have a bet then. If I win, you will take us to your village, we will get your village back then you will sails with us into the Grandline but if we lose then we will help you to earn 100 million" Luffy said

"What bet?" Nami frowns a little but didn't decline him.

"On the way, if we encounter any enemies. Then we have to fight, so in our every fight. If I get injured then I lost but if I remained intact until the end means I win." Luffy said while grinning.

"Are you serious?" Nami asked with wide eyes. In battle injures are inevitable unless you are very powerful whereas your enemy is very weak. Although east blue is the weakest sea they still have some powerful peoples like Krick, Buggy, their bounties are over 10 million.

But if her thought were known by Luffy, he will definitely laugh. After all with his current strength, not to mention 10 million, even twenty or thirty million are nothing in front of him.

"Yes" Luffy nodded his head

"Okay" Nami finally agreed

"Yeah, we finally got our navigator" Luffy jumped up and started celebration but got a serious punch on his head

"I am still unofficial. Don't celebrate too much and we have a buggy to deal with" Nami punched him and then explained.

"Okay, don't worry about him. Let's go" Luffy jumped up cheering, leading his crew towards the place where the buggy was living currently.

Three of them embark on their journey to beat buggy and their journey only lasted for thirty minutes because they reached their destination.

"Red Nose Buggy get out" Luffy reached in front of Buggy living place, he then shouted loudly.

"Idiot don't say that" Nami cried from side

"Don't worry this is his name" Luffy touched his head and said.

"Who dares to yell that name?" A man with a red nose and clown dress appeared from a building and behind him were many pirates.

They only saw three people standing in front of their building, two of these pirates who looked like beaten pulp, shouted "Captain, he is one. He is one who beat us and helps that little thief. He is Roronoa Zoro."

"Roronoa Zoro, are you here for my head?" Buggy looked at Zoro standing in front of him asked loudly ignoring Luffy and Nami.

Instead of Zoro, he got a reply from Luffy "Big Red Nose Buggy, Shanks said hello to you"

"Shank, Red Hair Shanks?" Buggy shouted in disbelieve.

"Yes, he said, if I can meet Buggy in east blue. Say hi to him" Luffy nodded and said

"How dare that bastard to miss me when he destroyed my future" Buggy with red eyes, loudly said.

"Really but Shanks said didn't explain anything else to me," Luffy said

"That Red Hair Shank bastard" Buggy growled in anger.

"Buggy gives me all of your treasure and we will live you intact" Luffy loudly said

"What a joke? Do you think you can win me? The boy let uncle buggy to make you understand our strength." Buggy said

"Captain let me handle this" Zoro wasn't much interested in talk so while Buggy and Luffy were talking, he was silent but now the fight has started, he won't just sit by and watch.

"No, you can't beat him" Luffy bluntly said

"Luffy do you doubt my strength?" Zoro didn't call captain or Luffy or idiot, in fact, he calls according to the situation. Now Luffy doubts his strength how can Zoro accept it?

"No I don't doubt your strength but against Devil Fruits Users. It will really get messy" Luffy explained

"So he is a devil fruit user?" Zoro didn't know much about devil fruit but he knows that his own captain is devil fruit user.

"Yes, he ate Chop Chop Fruit, which makes User invincible against Sharp weapon user not to mention you are a swordsman so unless you can use Haki, don't underestimate devil fruit users. So let me fight" Luffy slammed both of his fists against each other and said with a burning fire in his eyes looking at Buggy.
