Hearing Zoro speak so casually, Nami couldn't help but gently knock him on the head.
"Come on, that's ninety million berries, enough to spend for a long time."
As she said this, Nami showed a look of contempt, provoking Zoro:
"You're not scared, are you? You don't dare to take on this task? Is this your dignity as a swordsman?"
Hearing this, Zoro wished he could strangle Nami.
But thinking about it, he still swallowed his anger.
"Okay, since we have to pass through Arabasta anyway, we might as well take a trip."
Hearing Zoro agree, Nami happily clapped her hands and said:
"Then let's set off now, get to Alabasta early, get the money, and then we'll leave!"
Hearing their lighthearted words, Igaram's face became serious.
"Hmph, a bunch of ignorant pirates, do you even know what kind of enemies you will be facing along the way?"
Hearing this, Nami's face became serious, and she turned to look at Igaram proudly, saying:
"They are very strong, no matter how strong the enemy is, they can defeat them."
Hearing this, Igaram shook his head.
"The enemy you will meet this time is different, it is an existence that you can never defeat, because their boss is..."
Igaram was about to say it when Vivi directly interrupted him.
"Wait, we better not say this kind of thing, otherwise, even they will be involved."
Hearing this, Igaram sighed and chose to shut up.
Hearing them say this, Nami suddenly hesitated. The boss they were talking about seemed really powerful.
Normally, he would have turned around and left.
However, faced with the reward of ninety million berries, Nami still hesitated.
Looking at Vivi, she smiled brightly and asked:
"Um, can you give us a hint of how dangerous this trip will be?"
Hearing this, Vivi's expression suddenly became lonely.
After hesitating for a long time, she finally said:
"You should know about Baroque Works, right?"
Hearing this name, Nami and Luffy both showed confused expressions.
Only Zoro revealed a knowing look.
"It's a company that specializes in supporting bounty hunters, right? They even invited me once, but I refused."
Hearing this, Nami tentatively asked:
"Since you refused their offer, that means Baroque Works is not that great, right?"
Looking at Nami's expectant face, Zoro's eyes became serious.
"Before today, my impression of Baroque Works was indeed as you said."
"But the two people who came just now gave me a slight change of opinion about them."
Hearing this, Vivi's face sank, and she asked:
"Two people? What kind of people were they?"
As soon as she said this, before Zoro could answer, Luffy directly answered:
"Ah, a woman with an umbrella, and a man who picks his nose."
Hearing this, Zoro's forehead was full of black lines.
Although Luffy's answer was a bit vulgar, it vividly explained their forms.
Hearing the description of these two people's appearances, Vivi and Igaram both looked surprised.
Vivi bit her lip tightly and said:
"It's Mr. 5 and Valentine!"
"I didn't expect that the top five bounty hunters in the organization would come here, it seems that our identities have been exposed!"
After saying this, Vivi looked at them solemnly and bowed to them.
"Please escort me back to Alabasta immediately, I promise I will raise the reward I promised you!"
Hearing this, Nami squinted her eyes and smiled awkwardly.
"Let's not talk about that yet, please tell us about Baroque Works, okay?"
Nami didn't want to take any risks at all. If she didn't ask clearly about the whole story, she would never put herself in danger.
After all, ninety million berries is not worth mentioning compared to life.
Hearing Nami's persistent questioning, Igaram took over the conversation and said directly:
"Baroque Works is an organization that outwardly captures pirates in the form of bounty hunters and earns bounties."
"But secretly, they have a very big ambition."
Hearing this, Nami tentatively asked:
"Then please, what is this very big ambition?"
Hearing this, Igaram was silent.
Once this matter is said, it will definitely cause panic.
But if he doesn't say it, this shrewd woman in front of him will definitely not let it go.
Seeing Igaram's hesitant look, Nami nervously rubbed her hands, just wanting an answer.
At this time, Vivi slowly raised her head and said:
"Baroque Works wants to build a whimsical ideal kingdom!"
"All the members of Baroque Works, the higher their ranking, the higher the position they can hold in the kingdom."
"And the ideal kingdom they want to seize is my country, Alabasta!"
As soon as she said this, the stone in heart Nami's heart fell to the ground, and a look of horror appeared in her eyes.
"You, you mean, the current tragic situation in Alabasta is completely caused by Baroque Works?"
Hearing this, Vivi lowered her head, and after a long time, she finally said:
"You could say that."
As soon as she said this, Nami was stunned on the spot.
After a long time, Nami clenched her right fist and punched her palm, and then said:
"Ah, I suddenly remembered that our route seems to be a little different, so we can't escort you back."
Hearing this, Igaram and Vivi didn't seem too surprised.
Any normal pirate would be frightened by Baroque Works. Even if they didn't know the boss of Baroque Works, they would be fooled by their huge ambitions.
Such pirates are not worth trusting.
But without their escort, Vivi would definitely not be able to return to Alabasta.
Thinking of this, Igaram looked at Nami with a serious gaze.
"Are you the captain?"
Hearing this, Nami was suddenly asked, stammeringly pointed at Luffy and said:
"No, he is..."
Hearing this, Igaram directly bypassed Nami and stood in front of Luffy.
Then he said in a straight voice:
"Can you please escort Princess Vivi back to Alabasta?"
Hearing this, Luffy didn't even blink his eyes and answered casually:
"Ah, okay!"
As soon as he said this, Nami and Zoro were stunned.
They said in unison:
"So casual..."
