Monka was defeated, and the entire 153rd Marine Branch was liberated.
All the Marines re-contacted their superiors.
They poured out Monka's atrocities to their superiors.
Everything he had done in recent years.
Meanwhile, Ron and the others were no longer at the branch.
They were eating and drinking at a small restaurant in the port.
"Finally full!"
Slightly unsure of how many bowls he had eaten, Zoro finally let out a long sigh of relief.
He felt much more comfortable, having been hungry for over a week, and now finally felt a hint of fullness.
"I'm pretty much done eating too. I'll wait for you two at the port!"
"You two better hurry up, I have something important to tell you."
Ron chuckled, took out a stack of Berries, and placed them on the table.
He turned and walked towards the ship docked at the port.
His clothes and money were still on the ship.
He just didn't know if they were still there.
Although he carried most of his treasures with him.
As expected!
When Ron arrived at the port, his clothes on the ship were scattered everywhere.
It was as if they had been looted by bandits, completely unbearable to look at.
He estimated that as soon as he left, Nami, that little thieving cat, had already laid her hands on his things.
She was really too much!
However!
There was another ship next to it.
That ship should belong to Nami.
"How outrageous, how much she must look down on me!"
"She stole things and didn't even run away!"
Ron laughed in anger. Was she still thinking about that Devil Fruit?
It seemed that 100 million Berries had an immense attraction for Nami.
After all, if she got that fruit, she could return to her village.
"Alalala! What a coincidence!"
An orange head popped out from the ship, with a hint of embarrassment on her face.
Reluctantly, she placed the money she had found on the ship in front of Ron.
Her eyes were practically spitting blood, after all, she hadn't been tricked twice by others in her life.
"What's wrong, reluctant to part with this Devil Fruit?"
"I originally thought we'd meet again soon."
Ron looked at Nami with a half-smile.
He had thought they would meet again at the next stop.
He hadn't expected her to actually not run.
"Lord Gluttony, I know about a pirate crew."
"So I came to report to you!"
Nami leaned in and said.
"What pirates?"
Ron picked up the money and counted it. It wasn't much different.
What he kept on the ship was just pocket money.
"Buggy Pirates!"
"It's Buggy the Clown, who has a bounty of fifteen million Berries!"
Nami subtly flashed a hint of anger.
She had worked so hard, driven by Ron's labor, to come to Shells Town.
She had gone to the vault with great difficulty but had gotten nothing.
And she had even been mocked by Buggy the Clown.
How could Nami tolerate that?
Her first choice was definitely to 'use a wolf to devour a tiger'.
This bounty hunter in front of her would definitely be interested in Buggy's bounty.
At that time, she just needed to steal that treasure map.
As for the treasures, although she was tempted, she wasn't stupid.
Such a large pirate crew was definitely not something she could provoke.
"Buggy the Clown, huh!"
"That's a good choice!"
Ron nodded.
"Right, right!"
Nami's face was filled with hope.
"But I'm sorry, starting today, I'm no longer a bounty hunter!"
"So you should find a pirate hunter for this kind of thing!"
Ron spread his hands and said, completely uninterested in such matters.
He had considered Buggy the Clown before.
But Buggy had a backer, Shanks was his backer.
He had to consider those pirate crews when he went to the Grand Line.
So he hadn't bothered with those who had backers.
Now…
There was no conflict of interest between them.
Ron could imagine that he would be wanted tomorrow or the day after.
Buggy the Clown's head was useless to him.
"Not a pirate hunter anymore?"
Nami was stunned, looking at Ron in surprise.
Weren't you a pirate hunter before?
How come you're not anymore in a blink of an eye!
"I've become a pirate. I'm now a member of the Straw Hat Pirates!"
"Of course, you can also find my captain."
"If he agrees, there's no problem in dealing with that guy."
Ron narrowed his eyes, planning to trick this guy onto the ship first.
That way, he wouldn't have to wait for another drama later.
"Pirate…"
Nami's face showed some disgust.
But she was still very reluctant to part with that treasure.
It would have been fine if she didn't know about that treasure map.
But now she knew!
And she also knew that Buggy the Clown had taken it before her.
Nami wouldn't be able to sleep at night if she went back now.
"Ron, who is this?"
Luffy had already arrived with a string of Marines.
He saw Nami standing with Ron and asked curiously.
"This is a navigator who wants my help!"
Ron said with a smile.
The first step was to get Luffy's attention.
"A navigator? My ship happens to be missing a navigator!"
"What's your name? I'm gathering crewmates, do you want to join us!"
Luffy said with great surprise.
