After emerging from the simulation, Nami still had tears in her eyes. Ban's love had deeply moved her, and even his selfishness was portrayed in a way that resonated with her own experiences. She realized that, in her own way, she had shouldered the burden of trying to save her family and village.
"Nami, are you immortal?" Robin inquired, and to test this, she inflicted a small cut on Nami's hand. Nami almost screamed in pain, but then, to her amazement and that of others, the small cut healed up, and the blood only flowed for a moment or two.
Elated, Nami began to laugh out loud, momentarily forgetting the main revelation of her journey—her newfound immortality.
Luffy, being Luffy, decided to poke her, making her scream again. Luffy was only testing to see if she could heal, but Nami, in her anger, proceeded to beat him up. Despite her irritation, she knew deep down that she was now immortal.
With her newfound abilities, Nami's thieving skills soared, and she was overjoyed. In order to test her stealing skills, Nami proceeded to take some items from the crew. She even attempted to grab Luffy's staff, but found that she couldn't pull it out.
"That is absurd," Nami complained.
"Only he can wield it, like my Mjolnir."
Taking the cue, Nami tried to pull the hammer, but she couldn't. Stealing didn't mean she could take anything. Although she felt dejected, Vivi had to encourage her. In reality, everyone was a bit jealous of her newfound immortality, knowing that she would be safe no matter what.
Ban also had a tough time in the Underworld, so Nami's body would soon be tough enough to handle any kind of fight with minimal pain. The Straw Hats took some time off to celebrate Nami's character development. Nami now had a faint tint of white in her orange-colored hair, making her even more beautiful.NewW novels updates at novelhall.com
The Polar Tang looked bigger and more modern than it ever was. Franky collaborated with the shipwright of Heart Pirates and made it better. It could dive deeper, had better coverage with upgraded sonar and radar and various other improvements.
Bepo and others were thrilled seeing the improved ship and thanked Franky. Even Law nodded at Franky.
"Yosh.. We are ready for Wano."
"Did you call Ace?" Ken asked.
"Yes. He and the Whitebeard Pirates would be on standby. If they enter Wano directly it would be chaos so they would wait until our green signal. We will have to infiltrate them." Franky said.
"Luffy.. Remember.. Infiltrate.. Not raise chaos." Ussop spoke of this repeatedly.
"Yes.. Yes.. I will remember." Luffy said.
"He will definitely not remember." Everyone spoke with unison, including Ken.
"Hahahha. I am such a good captain." Luffy laughed only to be punched away by everyone.
"We will need someone to take care of him once we land." Nami said.
"I will take care of him." Zoro volunteered.
"You will lose yourself, baka marimo." Sanji said.
"What did you say curly eyebrows?" Zoro asked with swords on his hands.
