Nami’s older sister is nad Nojiko.
Like Nami, she was a war orphan adopted by Bell-mère.
In fact, Nami’s situation was quite similar to Karl’s and Karina’s. She and Nojiko were both orphans with only an adoptive mother, growing up in Cocoyasi Village, while Karl had the director as his mother figure, growing up in an orphanage.
Unlike Karl and Karina who left of their own accord, Nami and Nojiko lost their happy ho and life because of the Arlong Pirates.
Karl and Karina had t Nojiko a few tis.
Back then, in order to stake out Captain Nezumi, Karl and Karina had spent so ti in Cocoyasi Village, and they still had a relatively deep impression of two people.
One was Genzo, who had asked them to take good care of Nami, and the other was Nami’s older sister, Nojiko.
"I’ve decided. This Devil Fruit will be for Nojiko to eat."
Seeing Nami hesitating, Karl said, "This fruit is related to the City of Gold. I wouldn’t feel at ease giving it to soone I don’t know well. Only Nami’s sister is the most trustworthy."
"...Alright."
Nami first nodded helplessly, then voiced her concern, "But I’m afraid she won’t be willing to leave. She’s been guarding Bell-mère’s tangerine grove."
"?"
Karina was slightly stunned, then the corner of her mouth twitched. "Have you forgotten your ability? If she’s guarding the tangerine grove, then just bring the grove with you. It’s not like we don’t have enough space here."
"Oh, right!" Nami’s eyes instantly lit up.
"In that case, Karina, Nami, and Perona will go back to the East Blue to pick up Nojiko."
Karl placed the Gold-Gold Fruit back in its box and turned to Baccarat. "Baccarat, the reopening of the City of Gold will require a lot of manpower. Use your connections to recruit so employees. They must have casino experience and know the rules of the casino."
"As for loyalty, or whether they’re spies sent by other forces, you don’t need to worry about that. As long as they’re in this city, no one can escape the watch of and Little White."
"Leave it to , Captain."
Hearing this, Baccarat imdiately made an OK gesture.
And so, Karl’s crew began to act separately.
The unbeatable combination of Karina, Nami, and Perona was responsible for returning to the East Blue to persuade Nojiko and bring her to the New World.
Baccarat was responsible for recruiting new employees.
Robin, just as she had been in charge of Baroque Works, beca one of Karl’s deputies, handling the various matters that were about to arise.
Before Nami and the others left, Nami controlled Gran Tesoro to return to the Blue Sea and found the intelligent island turtle that had been intimidated by Little White’s draconic presence (Conqueror’s Haki).
After reconnecting the golden ship with the island turtle, the three won departed in a large, three-masted galleon, flying into the sky.
The news of Gran Tesoro’s return to the Blue Sea quickly spread throughout the New World.
Because before this, anyone holding an Eternal Pose for Gran Tesoro would have noticed that the needle pointed slightly upwards. The closer they got to the sea area below where Gran Tesoro was, the higher the needle would point.
Now that the needle had returned to normal, it ant that they had descended from the sky.
The Float-Float Fruit user who could easily take an island ship between the sky and the sea still sent a shiver down many people’s spines.
Five people and a dragon. One person and the dragon possessed pinnacle combat power, while the other three were all users of rare and powerful Paracia Devil Fruits.
The last person had even inherited the strategic-level ability of one of the three legends of the previous era.
Even if they couldn’t win now, once the young girl nad Nami grew stronger, this combination of five people and a dragon, even without forming a pirate crew, would probably be a great power no less than that of the rulers.
At this thought, the various powers, big and small, who were preparing to send gifts to Gran Tesoro in a month to gain the favor of Karl’s crew, put even more effort into finding their gifts.
Seeing Gran Tesoro return to the Blue Sea, Mariejois and the Marines made no move.
Gas have their rules, and the sea has its rules.
Karl’s crew were not the only villains in this world.
Above them were the four rulers of the sea, as well as the Revolutionary Army, whose goal was to overthrow Mariejois.
Compared to them, Karl’s crew was still just a minor player in the eyes of Mariejois.
The Chapter of the Buster Call incident was closed.
Karl had used his strength to prove himself in this sea, completing the transition from a minor player to a major figure.
Having lost all face and their hope of destroying Gran Tesoro, Mariejois and the Marine Headquarters, no matter how angry they were, had to abide by the unspoken rules.
Unless they were certain of victory, they would absolutely not make another move against Karl’s crew.
Otherwise, both Mariejois and the Marine Headquarters would be asking for trouble.
He had announced his decision: he would not be a pirate, but one of the kings of the underworld.
If they were to make another move against him, the mber nations of Mariejois and the various branches of the Marine Headquarters would face the retaliation of the two natural disasters, the Rumble-Rumble Fruit and the Float-Float Fruit.
That was a consequence that neither Mariejois nor the Marine Headquarters could bear.
In other words, the value of Gran Tesoro was simply incomparable to that of those mber nations and Marine branches.
Why did Mariejois and the Marine Headquarters launch the Buster Call?
Besides saving face, it was for the gold of Gran Tesoro and the three-hundred-billion-berry Tesoro treasure.
Ti flew by, and in the blink of an eye, more than half a month had passed.
A few days ago, Nami’s group had returned to the City of Gold with Nojiko.
The reason it had taken them so long to return was that the three of them had taken Nojiko, who had just co from the countryside, to various islands in the first half of the Grand Line to broaden her horizons.
During this ti, they had taken Nojiko to the world’s rare, super-large island, Sandy Island.
They had also gone to the sky island ten thousand ters above, and the holy land of shipbuilding, Water 7, and so on... The only place they hadn’t gone was the Sabaody Archipelago.
After all, with the Marine Headquarters and Mariejois next door, the three of them, whose intelligence had been completely exposed, were not so arrogant as to think their abilities were invincible.
They had to be prepared for any eventuality.
If Mariejois and the Marine Headquarters had a way to counter their unbeatable combination, going to the Sabaody Archipelago would be walking right into a trap.
Once captured, Karl would inevitably be implicated.
So, after showing Nojiko the final stop of Water 7 and accompanying Perona back to the Florian Triangle for a reunion and a true farewell with Gecko Moria, the three of them returned to the New World with Nojiko.
Yesterday, Nojiko had eaten the Paracia Gold-Gold Fruit, becoming the seventh mber of Karl’s crew.
And so, Nami and Nojiko, two sisters with no blood relation, beca the navigator and helmsman of the golden ship.
Both of their abilities could control the City of Gold.
But Nojiko’s physique was too weak. Having just gone from an ordinary person to an ability user, she quickly joined the hellish training of Karina’s group.
As the month was about to end, Morgans also joined the camp of those showing goodwill to Karl. He specifically published the news on the front page of the World Economic Journal the day before the City of Gold’s reopening, reminding those who didn’t know when it would reopen.
With the end of the one-month period, a large number of ships set out towards Gran Tesoro. So, who were farther away, had even set out a few days in advance.
The next day, the ships that had been waiting in the waters near Gran Tesoro sward in as if in a race.
By that morning, the docks of the Golden Port were moored with hundreds of galleons, large and small.
There were pirate crews, rchant ships, nobles on outings, and galleons bearing the emblems of various kingdoms...
So were there to deliver gifts, while others were regular patrons of Gran Tesoro who, after enduring for over a month, couldn’t wait to play in the world’s largest entertainnt city.
For these nobles and wealthy individuals, it didn’t matter if the owner of Gran Tesoro was Gild Tesoro or the Dragon Rider Karl. As long as the City of Gold and its amusent park were there, it was fine.
Receiving these nobles was Baccarat, who was still serving as the VIP receptionist.
In addition, she was training a new batch of employees.
Receiving those who had co to deliver gifts were Karina, Nami, and Robin.
As for Perona and Nojiko, being a shut-in and a "country girl" respectively, they were not used to such occasions, so they stayed in the gym on the top floor of the hotel, continuing their physical training.
Only Karl and Little White never showed their faces.
Those who had co to deliver gifts didn’t mind.
Although Karl hadn’t ford a pirate crew, if the golden ship was considered a pirate ship, then Karl was the captain, the Blue-Eyes White Dragon was the first mate, and Karina and the others were the executives.
To et the captain and first mate of a great pirate crew, one had to be a major figure of the sa level.
Being received by the executives was a sign of respect.
The representatives of the various powers all left after delivering their gifts, politely declining the three won’s invitations to stay and play.
One batch left, and another arrived...
It wasn’t until night that the three won, who had been receiving distinguished guests all day, whose hands were sore from receiving gifts, and whose faces were stiff from smiling, finally had a mont to breathe.
Fortunately, they had been training diligently during this ti. Otherwise, their bodies might not have been able to withstand just standing for a whole day.
During this ti, under the introduction of the knowledgeable Robin, Karina and Nami also t many major figures who were executives in the crews of the rulers and great pirates, powerful and famous throughout the world.
For example, Thatch, the commander of the fourth division of the Whitebeard Pirates, who in the original story died at the hands of Blackbeard.
For example, Yasopp, one of the executives of the Red-Haired Pirates, who, like Karina and Nami, was also from the East Blue.
For example, Jack the Drought, one of the Three Calamities of the Beasts Pirates, with a bounty as high as one billion berries.
For example, Charlotte Perospero, one of the executives of the Big Mom Pirates and also Charlotte Linlin’s eldest son, with a bounty as high as seven hundred million berries.
These four executives were the most distinguished guests the three won had received today. After them were the executives of the underworld and pirate captains.
Like the others, they also politely declined the invitation to play in the amusent park and left after a brief chat.
Among them, Charlotte Perospero and Yasopp were the most enthusiastic.
The forr had a fake smile, while the latter’s enthusiasm was due to the fact that they were all from the East Blue.
Thatch was polite and left after a brief chat.
Only Jack was the most dismissive, leaving with only a faint "congratulations" before turning and leaving.
It was fortunate that the combination of Karina’s group had a total bounty of 1.1 billion berries and included a Float-Float Fruit user. Otherwise, these major figures wouldn’t even have been interested in talking to them.
After seeing off batch after batch of distinguished guests, the Golden Port once again went from crowded to empty, with only a few ships from kingdoms and nobles moored at the docks.
Clearly, these pleasure-loving nobles intended to stay in the City of Gold for a while.
"It’s finally over. I was on edge all day today."
At 9 p.m., after seeing off the last distinguished guest, Nami casually pointed, and the mountain of gifts behind her instantly shot into the sky, flying towards the hotel.
As she controlled the flying gifts, Nami patted her chest, which, thanks to her electric therapy, hellish training, and Karl’s help, had a size that didn’t match her age, and let out a heavy sigh of relief. "This is the first ti I’ve seen so many major figures. I was really afraid soone would cause trouble."
"Karl and Little White have been watching us the whole ti. What’s there to be afraid of?"
Karina said mockingly, "Uhuhuhu... you’re a Float-Float Fruit user. When will your psychological resilience improve?"
"I’m not like you, who’s had Karl’s protection since you were a child and is used to him being invincible."
Nami imdiately retorted, dissatisfied, "I only dared to steal from weak pirates. This is the first ti I’ve seen so many world-famous major figures. Isn’t it normal to be subconsciously afraid?"
"A coward is a coward. Stop making excuses."
"..."
Just as Karina and Nami were about to start their daily bickering, Robin, who was beside them, suddenly spoke up, "Soone else is here."
Hearing this, Karina and Nami imdiately stopped their bickering and looked in the direction Robin was gazing.
In one of the four channels, a pirate ship was sailing into the Golden Port.
"That emblem, is it real?"
Looking at the emblem, which was incredibly familiar to them, the two won couldn’t help but show expressions of surprise.
"Ara ara... another major figure has arrived."
As if she had seen it, Robin finally took out the Den Den Mushi on her person and called Karl. "Karl, your friend is here."
"I see him. Bring him up later."
From the other end of the Den Den Mushi, Karl’s slightly surprised voice quickly ca through.
"Heavenly Yaksha, Doflamingo. I didn’t expect that Karl didn’t go looking for him, but he ca himself."
Looking at the pirate ship approaching from a distance, Karina identified the major figure.
It was the one Karl had wanted to et ever since he entered the New World but had never had the ti to find—one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, one of the kings of the underworld, the Heavenly Yaksha, Donquixote Doflamingo.
