Chapter 208 Communication with Nami
As the night deepened, the door of Nami's room was gently pushed open, and the little thieving cat with orange hair quietly ran out.

"I don't know where that guy lives... Slippery Fruit, here I come!"

I have to say that Nami is worthy of the name of little thief cat, and she is already considered a well-known thief in the East China Sea. Even though she is still injured, she is still nimble and agile, landing silently, and easily prying open doors one after another.

"That's strange...why can't I find him? Doesn't this guy live in the village?"

After searching for a while, Nami still couldn't find Uchiha Feiyu. She couldn't help but feel confused. She wiped the sweat from her forehead and looked a little frustrated.

"If I can't find it now, I won't have any chance in the future..."

After stealing the devil fruit on the island, Nami can set sail directly. With her sailing skills, it is hard to believe that anyone can catch up with her.

But if she went out to sea with Uchiha Feiyu, even if she got the devil fruit at sea, she would have nowhere to escape!
"Never mind... Let's think of a solution tomorrow. My injuries will probably take another two days to heal, and the merchant ship hasn't been repaired yet."

Having gained nothing, Nami turned her head and went back to rest. At this moment, on a big tree outside the village, the leaves trembled, revealing the figure of Uchiha Feiyu.

"This thief is too impatient. He's planning to steal and run away on the first day. Luckily, I haven't returned everything I learned in the Ninja School to those Chunin teachers yet. Otherwise, she would have found me now - that would be no fun!"

What is taught in ninja schools is too basic and not very useful in the world of Naruto. After all, everyone is a super ninja with chakra. Techniques like concealing aura, making camouflage, removing ropes and picking locks are not as useful as the ever-changing ninjutsu of chakra, and can only be used to enrich the means of the Genin.

However, in the world of pirates, these skills shine brightly. Before mastering Haki, this skill is already the pinnacle of ordinary people, and it is naturally easy to hide it from Nami, a little thief.

Of course, this is also related to the personalities of the people in the pirate world. Pick any ninja from the Naruto world and he can be considered smart, cautious, and cunning among these pirates.

In the next two days, although Nami tried her best to find out the whereabouts of Uchiha Feiyu during the day and sneaked around looking for the devil fruit at night, unfortunately, in front of Uchiha Feiyu who was well prepared, she naturally got nothing in the end.

So much so that on the third day, when her injuries recovered, she looked listless and even had dark circles under her eyes.

"Nami, you don't look very energetic, do you?"

Uchiha Feiyu leaned against the door frame with a faint smile on his face, looked at Nami who looked tired, and asked as if mocking her.

“Ahahahaha… Maybe it’s because I’m thinking that I’m going to be rich soon, so I’m a little happy!”

Nami laughed dryly and said twice, her eyes fixed on Uchiha Feiyu's waist, where there was a small square box, which was obviously where the devil fruit was.

Uchiha Feiyu slightly shook the box on his waist, and Nami's eyes also stared at the box. When she came to her senses, she saw Uchiha Feiyu looking at her with a smile, still holding the snatched "Mura Hao Sword" in his hand.

"Hehehe... I'll go see how our ship is doing..."

Looking at Uchiha Feiyu's eyes, Nami shrank her neck, turned around and ran away.

Seeing that Nami, who had the intention but not the courage to steal, was scared away, Uchiha Feiyu shook his head, picked up a large bag of supplies "gifted" by the villagers, and walked out of the village in a swagger.

After he left, the villagers all had expressions of relief as if they had survived a disaster, and some were so excited that they burst into tears.

There was no way out. They were beaten up by the female pirate at the beginning, and many people were killed. Later, because they wanted to take back the devil fruit, many people had their legs broken by Uchiha Feiyu. They were also forced by Uchiha Feiyu to repair the ship and prepare food. The residents of this island have been living in dire straits these days.

Now that Uchiha Feiyu is finally about to leave, it would be strange if these people were not happy.

After checking the ship and making sure it had been completely repaired, Nami and Uchiha Feiyu went out to sea. After adjusting the sails, she looked at Uchiha Feiyu who was exercising on the deck and asked:
"Next, shall we go to Rogue Town? It's quite prosperous there, and there should be many people willing to buy this devil fruit!"

"Although Rogue Town is the starting point of the East China Sea to the Grand Line, there are mostly pirates there. Selling ordinary devil fruits to pirates who pursue strength is naturally the best choice."

"But the Slippery Fruit is still most attractive to women from noble and royal families, and they can afford it."

Uchiha Feiyu answered while doing push-ups:
"If you don't want to go to the Sabaody Archipelago, then you can only sell it to those princes and nobles. By the way, you have been in the East China Sea for so long, do you know where there are underground auctions or something like that?"

"Uh, how could I possibly know about that kind of place? After all, I'm just a little thief. Stealing some pirate treasures is already the limit. If I provoke a big force like the underground auction, I will be hunted down miserably!"

"Besides, I haven't heard of any underground auction houses in the East China Sea..."

"is it?"

After hearing this, Uchiha Feiyu was not surprised and nodded slightly:

"Maybe it's because the East China Sea is a peaceful sea! Only in chaotic places can underground auctions flourish."

"Isn't this place in the East China Sea chaotic enough?!"

Nami snorted coldly, as if she had thought of something:
"Pirates are running rampant. The navy is not only useless, but is even the same as the pirates..."

"You must be talking about Colonel Mouse and the Arlong Pirates!"

Uchiha Feiyu stood up, took off the weight of several dozen kilograms on his body, and said lightly:
"That's just bad luck for you. As far as I know, there are indeed many unruly people in the East China Sea Navy, but there is only one person like Colonel Mouse."

"Plus, Arlong has the background of being a Shichibukai, and the upper echelons of the navy often want to minimize the incident, so there are really not many people in the entire East China Sea who are as unlucky as you."

"You...you, do you know what the evil dragon did?"

Nami widened her eyes and looked at Uchiha Feiyu. Why did she feel like this guy knew a lot about the things in Kokoyasi Village?
"Please, even the so-called fishmen need to trade! The ordinary people in Aaron's territory can't go out to sea, but it doesn't mean that the fishmen have no communication with the outside world!"

"In the East China Sea, there are not many people who know about the evildoers like Aaron, but there are definitely quite a few - they are just either indifferent or they simply don't have the strength to take care of this trivial matter."

"From your looks, you don't seem to be willing to work for Aaron. Is there any story behind this?"

Nami was silent for a moment, then snorted coldly:
"Even if I tell you, do you have the ability to take care of this business?" "I probably can't, but at least I know where the people who have the ability and willingness to take care of business are..."

Nami was stunned for a moment after hearing this, turned her head to look at Uchiha Feiyu, then gritted her teeth and said:
"It's easy to say, but that's the fishman Arlong. Didn't you say he has a background as a Shichibukai? Who would care about such things for a few villages?"

"How can you guarantee that someone will lend a helping hand? And how can you guarantee that they will be Aaron's opponent?"

"hehe,"

Uchiha Feiyu glanced at Nami and sneered:
"If you don't believe me, forget it. I finally felt sorry for you and wanted to do something good for you. But looking at you like this, you seem to have some symptoms of Stockholm syndrome. Have you gradually become the perpetrator out of fear?"

Nami's body shook and she lowered her head slightly, as if she had suffered a great blow. She slowly sat down on the deck and curled up into a ball.

"You don't know at all...how terrible Aaron's group is...you don't know anything at all..."

It took a long time before Nami felt her mood calm down. At this moment, she was able to calm down and think calmly. Suddenly, she realized that this was definitely an excellent opportunity.

It is true that Arlong is very powerful, and the natural qualities of fish-men are indeed far superior to those of humans, but to say that the Arlong Pirate Group alone can fight against the navy is a complete joke.

Not to mention the strength of the navy's top brass, which Nami has never seen and has only heard of occasionally. The millions of navy troops alone, with just a spit from each person, can drown the Arlong Pirates to death!

"Just asking for information and finding some outside help... it should be no problem! When the time comes, just report it anonymously. No matter what, it won't involve me or anyone in Kokoa West Village!"

Thinking of this, Nami raised her head and asked:
“Fei Yu, where is the person you were talking about!?”

The deck was empty. Uchiha Feiyu had already walked into the captain's room and disappeared without a trace.

Damn it, doesn’t this guy give me some time to adjust my mindset?
Nami came to the captain's room angrily, pushed open the door, and looked at Uchiha Feiyu who was eating and drinking with his upper body naked, and her breath couldn't help but be choked.

"Has this guy's muscles grown a little more? It feels like his body shape has changed in just these few days, and his muscles are fuller..."

"Speaking of which, he seems to have been exercising every day during this period. Is it because of the pirates' robbery that he has been motivated to exercise and become stronger?"

Uchiha Feiyu, who was eating, saw Nami suddenly walk in. He picked up the plate, ate all the food in big mouthfuls, and then put the plate on the table.

"Why, what do you want to talk to me about?"

"Um, who is this person you just mentioned...who is the one who is capable and willing to meddle in other people's business?"

"Hehe...I'm sorry, I don't want to tell you now!"

"No, I was wrong just now, just tell me! At worst...at worst I can just touch you!"

Nami walked straight to Uchiha Feiyu, lifted his collar, revealing the faint cleavage, and began to seduce him with a seductive look on her face.

"Sorry, not interested!"

Uchiha Feiyu snorted. He was not a novice who had never eaten meat. He was completely unresponsive to Nami's crude seduction.

After all, all the pirates in this world are thick-skinned. When it comes to seducing these pirates, Nami doesn't need any skills at all. Without training, she is naturally far inferior to the ninjas in the Naruto world.

"Damn it, what on earth do you want?! Do you want me to sell my body?"

"Well...if your idea can really wipe out the Arlong Pirates, and you're willing to give me the Slippery-Slippery Fruit, then I don't mind letting you take advantage of it..."

Seeing Nami's expression that said you had taken advantage of her, Uchiha Feiyu snorted and said:

"That's a nice thought. Do you think you are made of gold? Are you worth a slippery fruit?"

"You are so anxious to collect money, is it because of the mission of the Arlong Pirates? Let me guess, is it because the Arlong Pirates have found your weakness, so you have to work for them? Is it your relatives, or your hometown?"

As Uchiha Feiyu analyzed each point one by one, Nami's face fell a little bit, and in the end, she exuded a feeling of frustration:

"Has anyone ever told me that you are so annoying? Do you find it so satisfying to ask such inquiring questions?"

Uchiha Feiyu leaned back in the seat behind him, crossed his arms, and looked at Nami with a smile:
"I have to get to know you a little better before I can decide whether to help you or not!"

Nami was silent for a moment, and finally let out a long sigh:

"I'm really scared of you...Didn't you ask me if I had any stories during the day? Since you want to hear it, I'll tell you my story!"

As she was talking, Nami found a sofa in the captain's room and sat down. She also took a bottle of rum on the table, opened it directly, and gulped it down.

The predecessor of this body of Uchiha Feiyu could drink a bit, but Uchiha Feiyu himself did not drink, so there was a lot of undrunk wine in the captain's room, and now it has become a good thing for Nami, the female alcoholic.

"Haha~~"

After drinking a bottle of wine, Nami wiped the corners of her mouth, her face became a little rosy. Then she looked at Uchiha Feiyu and began to tell her story.

The story is not complicated.

The originally happy family suddenly became shattered one day because of the invasion of A-Long and his gang.

For the sake of her hometown, Nami had to draw sea charts for the Arlong Pirates, while trying every possible means to cheat and defraud in order to get 1 million berries to redeem Cocoanis Village from Arlong.
