- Zoro-aniki, Luffy-aniki, I see you alredy found Nami? - with these words one of the guys who stood up, and now is shaking off his clothes from the grass that adhered to them, greeted the approaching group. The second was busy fitting his swords into his back sheath. - Welcome to the family, Nami - the guy added, slightly tilting his head towards the girl. - My name is Johnny, nice to meet you - having finished dusting himself off, he extended his hand in greeting.
- Nice to meet you - she said, shaking the hand outstretched to her with slight apprehension.
From Nami's point of view, discretion here was by no means out of place. Johnny was a solid mountain of muscles, which is why he could easily break her arm, just not calculating his strength a little.
- Glad you're with us now," the guy nodded with a smile.
White trousers rolled up to mid-calf with front patch pockets, a white fitted T-shirt with cut-off sleeves, and an orange sleeveless vest styled as a life jacket. Johnny wore white open sandals on his feet, and stylish sunglasses flaunted on his nose. On the guy's left cheek there was a tattoo in the form of the kanji "sea", and another tattoo on the right side of the neck, only this time with the kanji "fire". He himself looked noticeably older than Zoro. If the green-haired swordsman Nami was ready to give twenty-five years maximum, then Johnny looked at all thirty. Slightly disheveled black hair, tall, broad-shouldered, pumped up, strongly pumped up - he was noticeably larger than Zoro. Although, as the girl noted, the guy did not carry a sword. But he looked so impressive that, as she perfectly understood from her personal experience, most people preferred not to mess with him after one single glance in his direction.
- Welcome to the family, Nami - the other guy who was waiting for them slightly bowed his head as Johnny stepped aside. - My name is Yosaku - he held out his hand to the girl. As in the case of Johnny, the handshake at the guy who introduced himself was quite impressive, but unlike his friend, Yosaku carried two swords, the hilts of which now peep out from behind his shoulders, which immediately explained both the size of his muscles and his specialization. - I'm glad that we finally have a real navigator.
Yosaku's physique was identical to Johnny's - the same tall, the same heavily muscled and broad-shouldered. Slightly disheveled blonde hair, brown eyes, the most common features. A black tight T-shirt, yellow baggy pants, heavy black boots and the two swords already mentioned, wide and blunt, like butcher's knives. The guy wore them in a back, open, leather sheath. Among other things, there was an unlit cigar between his lips. Summing up, one could safely say that Yosaku made no less impression than the same Zoro or Johnny. Therefore, the question, "Why exactly Luffy is the captain?", Became even more worried for Nami.
- So who are we killing this time? - Johnny asked with undisguised enthusiasm.
-Nine million for head - Luffy willingly shared the information.
- Luffy-aniki, I wasn't asking about money, but about the pirate's name - the guy smiled a little torturedly.
- I never understood your addiction to know the names of dead mans - Luffy shook his head. - The main thing is to know the money in person and their amount, and the rest is unimportant.
- "Mad Willie" - Zoro said. - That's what the pirates called their captain.
Under Nami's gaze, Yosaku lifted a small bag from the ground, which, as it turned out, contained several dozen packets with wanted leaflets.
- So, nine million, nine million, - the guy began to mutter, sorting through the packs. - Yeah, here they are ... so, now "Mad" Willie, Willie, Willie ... where are you, our Willie ... yeah, here. Huh! Yes, he is still, consider, a completely newbie! Only four months he declared himself, and he received such a large award not so much because of his personal strength, but because of his love of setting fire to everything around him, including the cities and villages he attacked. In short, a typical idiot.
- Only four months in business? - Luffy rubbed his chin thoughtfully. - Namo! - so unexpectedly he turned to the girl that she involuntarily jumped on the spot from fright. - Didn't they tell you that it is not good to offend little ones? The boys have just begun to learn the craft of pirates, and you have already robbed them. Shame on you, shame!
- Luffy-aniki, we're going to kill them at all- Johnny remarked. - Who are we then?
- Pirates masquerading as pirate hunters, who else? - Luffy looked at the guy like an idiot. - We have such a burden, and there's nothing you can do about it. We will be tormented by mental anguish, but we will still continue our work, we will bear our heavy burden in the name of the moon. And someone has to collect all these awards assigned for their heads, right? The marines still try, appoint, so we simply cannot disappoint their expectations. Besides, can you imagine how many people we provide with jobs? Thousands and thousands of people can work only thanks to us! Photographers, journalists, bank workers, marines, merchants, and many, many more! What about rumors and news? Thanks to us, the lives of tens of thousands of bored grandparents are filled with meaning! They have something to talk about in their old age, there is something to discuss with each other! Therefore, you must understand that we are simply obliged to kill and rob all pirates we meet on the way! For the sake of world peace!
After listening to Luffy's little speech - during which her jaw dropped lower and lower - Nami began to gradually realize why he was the captain and not Zoro, Johnny or Yosaku. And this simply could not but disturb the girl: it is impossible to calculate the psycho. The psychos themselves do not know what they will do in the next moment. However, most of all she was alarmed by the reaction of the rest of the team, or rather the complete absence of any reaction. At all. Zoro, Johnny and Yosaku listened to all of Luffy's ramblings without raising an eyebrow. This, in turn, indicated that something like this happened often enough that they had time to get used to it. Nami began to seriously worry about her imminent future. What will she be like if she hangs out with this abnormal long enough? How is the expression there? If you peer into the abyss for a long time, does the abyss begin to peer into you? And if it's the same or worse with the psychos? For the first time in ten years, she seriously began to think about how to immediately go to hell, and do not care about all the lost money.
