Sailing: This Bounce-Bounce Fruit is a little different.

Even his only weapon couldn't harm his opponent, and wanting to survive, he naturally knew what he had to do.

“So magical…”

Nami looked at the other person in surprise, covered her mouth and said, "The sea really does have everything, even the treasure chest people have appeared."

Are you blind, woman?!

Staring intently at Nami, Gaim looked dejected and said weakly, "I'm stuck in a box! I'm not some treasure chest person..."

"I was stuck on this kind of island for 20 years, please don't bring up my painful history, okay?"

"What?" Nami exclaimed in surprise, "You were trapped in a treasure chest for 20 years, all alone... Uh... are you an idiot?"

"Don't you know how to break this box yourself?"

"really…"

Huang Hai couldn't help but say speechlessly, "You can spend 20 years in such a place, why don't you think about how to break free?"

"Has it evolved from stupidity into a fetish?"

Chapter Fifty-One: The Unyielding Treasure!

Do you think I'm unwilling?

As if provoked, Gaimon roared, "Didn't you see that my hands, feet, and body are all stuck in this treasure chest? If there were a way to get out of this treasure chest, would I have been trapped for twenty years?"

"Twenty long years have passed. My hair and beard have gradually turned white, and even my eyebrows have grown together..."

"You are the first people in twenty years to speak to me..."

"Do you need me to help you open it?"

Hearing this, Huang Hai slightly pried open the guard with his left thumb, revealing a small portion of the blade. A strange light flashed in his eyes as he said, "Although I haven't practiced for very long, I'm still confident I can cut through a mere box made of wood and iron..."

"don't want!!"

Swallowing hard, Gaimon said nervously, "Don't do anything reckless! I've been out of exercise for years, and my body and this treasure chest have practically become one!"

"If I break the treasure chest, my body will be ruined!"

Ah!

Huang Hai frowned, then withdrew his fingers and sheathed his sword.

"Are you prepared to live the rest of your life like this?"

"I'm getting old..."

Gaimon gave a bitter smile and said, "Whether we come out or not, we don't have many years left to live! Since that's the case, there's no point in coming out or not..."

"I have a question……"

Nami, standing nearby, looked puzzled and said, "You said you're the only resident of this island, which means you weren't originally from this island, right?"

"So how did you get to this island?"

"And what's more, it's turned into this state..."

"..."

Gaimon gave the two of them a complicated look, then sighed as if reminiscing, "Actually, I used to be just like you, a pirate..."

"Those were the good old days! We were willing to risk our lives to find treasure..."

"...Do you have a treasure map?"

"Why did the conversation suddenly change?"

Speechless, Nami reached into her pocket behind her back and pulled out a map, saying, "I don't have a treasure map, but I do have a nautical chart for the Grand Line..."

Huh?

Huang Hai looked at Nami in surprise and asked, "How did you get this sea chart?"

Has Nami already been to the Grand Line?

Otherwise, where did this nautical chart come from?

"Uh... this was given to me by Bucky."

Seeing Huang Hai looking at her with a puzzled expression, Nami chuckled awkwardly and said, "I was locked up because of it..."

So that's how it is...

Huang Hai suddenly realized something.

Indeed, during the fight with Bucky, I kept hearing that guy talk about thieves and such.

I initially thought Nami had stolen the treasure, but it turns out it was because of this Grand Line nautical chart.

"It's a nautical chart for the Grand Line!"

Seeing this, Gaimon stared intently at the blueprint in Nami's hand, filled with curiosity and longing, and said, "Can I take a look? I once wanted to go to the Grand Line too..."

"But we ended up trapped here..."

"While you're at it..."

Nami unfolded the sea chart and handed it to the other person, explaining, "See that long mountain range in the middle of the sea chart? That's the landmass known as the dividing line between the seas... the Red Line!"

Divided by this red earth continent, the world was formed into two vast oceans…

"And the route that starts from the town in the center of the Red Line and circles the world perpendicular to the Red Line is called the Grand Line! Of course, the most common name is the Grand Line..."

"To this day, the only one who has ever conquered this route is... the king who stood at the pinnacle of this era, now deceased, the Pirate King, Gol D. Roger!"

At this point, Nami paused, glanced at Huang Hai subconsciously, and continued, "It's known as the most dangerous route in the world, and the One Piece is located on this route..."

"..."

Not far away, Huang Hai glanced at the sea chart and looked at Nami with surprise.

To be able to understand so much just from a single nautical chart—truly a born navigator…

I've encountered that before...

Gaimon looked at the nautical chart, his face filled with reminiscence, and said, "Twenty years ago, that route was known as the 'graveyard of pirates.' I've seen pirates escape from there several times..."

"They were like dead souls, listless and emaciated, a truly pitiful sight. I don't know if they encountered some terrifying pirates or some unknown disaster..."

"The survivors didn't say a word about it, but looking at their dejected and broken appearance, we could easily imagine the terrible ordeal they had endured on that death route..."

"No one knows where the One Piece is, and no one has ever known about it. In the more than 20 years since the Great Pirate Era, those so-called 'Pirate King' treasures' have become legends."

Hehehe...

"It has indeed become a legend."

Hearing this, Huang Hai smiled slightly and said, "But my goal has never been any 'Great Treasure.' That wealth is completely irrelevant to me..."

"If this is a necessary step on the path to becoming the Pirate King, I will find a way to find it..."

One Piece?!

Gaimeng looked at Huang Hai in astonishment upon hearing this, never expecting that the other party's goal was so ambitious.

Then, he slowly lowered his head and gave a self-deprecating smile.

That's true. Every pirate dreams of becoming the Pirate King.

Even he used to be like that, didn't he...?

Thinking of this, Gaimon paused, looked up, and said:

Do you know why I can't leave this isolated island?

"Ok?"

Nami pointed to the treasure chest and asked doubtfully, "Isn't it because we're trapped here?"

"That's not the main reason!"

Gaimon gritted his teeth and said, "Because I... I still won't give up!"

"Twenty years ago, I came to this island as a member of a pirate crew... because we learned about a treasure map, and the location was on this island!"

"As a result, after searching for about three weeks with more than two hundred people, all we found was this empty treasure chest under me. At that point, the captain decided not to waste any more time and to retreat immediately..."

"But I didn't give up. I felt that the treasure must still be hidden on the island, so I focused my attention on the huge rock in the center of the island that no one had searched for three weeks..."

"My intuition tells me that the treasure might be somewhere unusual..."

"So, while the captain and crew were back on board, I deliberately climbed up that giant rock, and just as I suspected, it was up there..."

"Is it all treasure?!"

Nami's eyes widened, and she asked eagerly, "Is it lots and lots of treasure?"

Are you sure you saw it all with your own eyes?

The thought of the vast amount of treasure on the island filled her with excitement.

As long as there is treasure, even the most boring story becomes incredibly interesting.
