Starting with Kengan beating up the Pirate King

Chapter 12 Nami
[Hit Value +1]

The abandoned landfill in the east of the town of Sicico has been renovated and looks brand new.

Thanks to the help of Aomori House, the laborers have a new base, and Guan Yi has also acquired his first valuable property in the One Piece world.

That morning, he had just finished his morning exercise and was looking through pirate bounty posters at home when the plan suddenly unfolded and a notification flashed that his life points had increased by 1.

During this time, he gained a total of 20 life points from Alvida, which he felt was basically at his limit. Alvida said she wanted to leave the gang, but she had actually resigned herself to becoming the vice leader of the labor gang and working for him. It was impossible for her to become the fat female pirate from the original timeline.

Guan Yi hasn't even seen Alvida in the past two days, so where did this 1 point of life come from?

"It's been almost a month since I sent the letter to Loguetown. I should have completed the round trip. Can I still gain life points this way?"

The information about the rats was part of an experiment.

Guan's intention was to test whether he could gain life points by providing information and influencing the fate of the secret realm through other explorers.

"If this life points were acquired through rats, it proves that the team leader responded to my intelligence so quickly and took action... proves that there is an explorer in the 16th Naval Branch?"

If this is feasible, then Guan Yi will have a lot of room for maneuver in acquiring life points in the future, in addition to doing it himself.

While we're at it, we'll fatten up the rats so they're easier to slaughter.

Sigh, I'm short of money.

Guan Yi is desperately short of money!
As another month passed, the labor force continued to expand. Even after deducting the bonuses paid out, the monthly income brought Guan Yi nearly 300 million Berries. His savings were about to exceed 500 million Berries, enough to fund the infrastructure construction for the fifth year.

But the cargo capacity of the dock is limited. If the rules of the laborers are not changed, or if they are not exploited more, or if other jobs are not found for the laborers, this income is already the limit. If Guan Yi wants to raise ten million for the sixth year of infrastructure construction, does he have to wait three months?
Moreover, he plans to try the second practical application phase of the plan after completing the fifth year of infrastructure construction, which will be another expense.

Over the past few days, Guan Yi has collected the bounty posters of pirates in the nearby waters. These guys are worth millions of Berries each, and Guan Yi is envious of every single one of them.

However, due to the special environment of Cissicono, Guan Yi would have to travel quite far to find pirates, and the only one closest to him was this guy.

Guan Yi took out a page of the bounty poster, and the ferocious fishman only showed half of his face!
Fishman Arlong, life or death is irrelevant.

The bounty is a whopping 2000 million Berries!
The most valuable thing, can I beat him now?
Just then, a laborer from the gang burst in, urgently saying, "Boss! A cargo ship has been stolen at the dock. Sister Alvida has already sealed off the dock with her men, but they can't find the thief for the time being. Do you want to go and take a look?"

"Oh? I'll go take a look."

In the nearly two months since the establishment of the Laborers' Guild, there have been two thefts of cargo ships, but the thieves were found in both cases thanks to the timely handling by the Laborers' Guild, which helped the merchant ships recover their losses and also received a reward.

How can there still be such a clueless thief?
They rushed to the dock, only to find that shipping operations had completely ceased. Dozens of laborers had surrounded the dock, and Alvida, wielding a spiked club, quelled the discontent of the merchants and captains.

Upon seeing Guan Yi arrive, Alvida approached with a middle-aged man with a small mustache who looked anxious.

“Ian, this is Captain Tucker, from the Kingdom of Goa. He docked last night, intending to rest for the night before purchasing goods, only to discover that the more than three million Berries he brought with him had been stolen.”

The middle-aged man with the mustache said urgently, "I kept those pesos with me at all times, they were still with me last night! But this morning, as I was getting off the ship, someone bumped into me, and the money is gone! That's half of my life savings..."

"Is that so? Don't rush to conclusions." Guan Yi said, looking at Alvida: "So, if nothing unexpected happens, the thief is still at the dock?"

"Ah," Alvida said, "This guy started yelling the moment he realized his money was missing. I happened to be nearby, so I called for people to secure the dock. What should we do? Search him?"

Guan Yi looked at the people in the open space at the dock.

Many of the faces were familiar; they had all seen Guan Yi before. Because the dock had been well-managed by the laborers' gang recently, they were all patiently waiting for Guan Yi to finish dealing with the incident. The other unfamiliar tourists whispered among themselves, asking each other when such a powerful gang had appeared at the Sicico town dock, their displeasure practically overflowing.

A full body search might not be very convenient.

Huh? Just then, Guan Yi suddenly spotted a girl who looked incredibly familiar in the crowd.

She has big brown eyes, short orange hair tied into a neat high ponytail, and a face that is still a little chubby, but already has the delicate features of a future. Her figure is just developing and is thin and slender.

It's Nami!
The moment Guan Yi discovered the little thief, he knew he didn't need to look for other thieves, but he was also a little confused—in his memory, wasn't the little thief Nami only stealing from pirates?
Thirteen-year-old Nami was mingling in the crowd, her heart filled with anxiety.

I haven't been to Cisicono for months. What happened to the Cisicono town docks? Who's that man? He looks like the leader of this gang. Oh no, why are they looking this way?

Fortunately, Nami breathed a sigh of relief. Guan Yi's gaze only lingered on her for three seconds before turning back to the merchant Tucker, whose business had been robbed, and staring at Tucker's face.

After a few seconds of eye contact with Guan Yi, a fleeting unease crossed Tucker's face. He said urgently, "Please help me recover the stolen money. I'm willing to give you 20% of it as a reward!"

Damn it, what's going on in this town? How can there be such a decisive gang?!

He was screaming in his heart, but his subconscious announcement after losing the money had gotten him into this mess. He thought, "Don't let me find out which thief stole it, or I'll make sure you suffer a terrible death!"

It's okay, they probably won't recognize me...

"Fanbu, known as the cunning Fanbu, was originally a swindler who traveled in the Kingdom of Goa. After being exposed, he fled to the sea and became a pirate."

Guan Yi's words caused his expression to change drastically.

"He has outstanding disguise skills and is good at disguising himself as an ordinary merchant, sneaking into other merchants' homes to commit murder, arson, and robbery. A bounty of 270 million Berries is offered for his life."

The disguise was indeed quite good. If Guan Yi hadn't noticed Nami, or hadn't been collecting the pirates' bounty posters recently, he probably wouldn't have recognized her.

Alvida uttered a soft "Hmm?" and fixed her gaze on Vanbu. Vanbu, pale-faced, managed to squeeze out, "Are you kidding me?"

Swish—In the next instant, knowing there was no chance of escape, he suddenly pulled out a dagger from his pocket and thrust it straight at Guan Yi, but just as it was about to strike, it was caught by two fingers and could not advance an inch!
Immediately afterward, Fan Bu's vision blurred, and he felt excruciating pain all over his body. He collapsed to the ground with a scream, his joints completely dislocated!
"Boss?!"

His pirate subordinates, disguised as shipwrights, were terrified at the sight. They rushed aboard the ship, pulled out their hidden knives, and charged at Guan Yi.

Guan Yi simply waved his hand and handed them over to Alvida and her underlings to deal with.

"Take this guy to the Navy branch and bring him back with the bounty," Guan Yi instructed his henchmen.

Lucky me, I got 270 million for free.

Having been in the world of One Piece for two months, this was the first time he had ever seen pirates, and also the first time he had ever met Luffy's crew members.

Once everything was settled, he turned to the panicked merchants and shouted, "It's alright, everyone go back to your work! This was a merchant disguised as a pirate, and we've taken care of him! Rest assured, our Laborers' Guild will do its utmost to protect the safety of the docks in Sicikono Town!"

"...Pirates?"

"They're pirates?!"

Amidst the clamor of voices, Nami hurriedly left the dock, her heart pounding.

Such a powerful guy has come to Cissico! Luckily, he discovered that the guy was a pirate, otherwise he would have missed me. He can't come back!
　A new week, let's climb the charts! I'm begging for more monthly votes, anything!
