Nami had a stunning figure—slim and delicate.
Though still a bit immature.
In another two years, she'd be absolutely perfect.
Of course, Nanashi wasn't just holding her for the sake of it.
There was business to take care of.
"Hold tight."
After giving her a brief warning, he controlled the wind beneath them—lifting them into the air.
"A-AHHH!!! W-We're flying?! We're actually flying?!"
As they soared skyward, Nami panicked, instinctively clinging to Nanashi.
Her posture?
Like a koala.
Legs wrapped tightly around his waist.
Arms gripping his neck.
Her chest pressed firmly against him.
She peered down at the ground, watching as it grew smaller beneath them. Heart pounding, she asked hesitantly, "Where are we going?"
Nanashi responded seriously, "To finish our business."
"H-Hey! W-Wait a minute! You mean… up here?!"
Nami's thoughts spiraled into chaos.
She knew what happened between men and women.
She had already sold herself to Nanashi—mentally prepared herself for whatever came next.
After all, he had killed Arlong.
Saved her.
Saved Cocoyasi Village.
What happened to her after that… didn't matter anymore.
But doing it in the sky?!
Wouldn't that be way too crazy?!
Just picturing it—her entire face burned bright red.
"T-This… this isn't right! Shouldn't we at least go to my house…?" she stammered, her voice laced with embarrassment.
She really didn't want to do this in midair!
If someone saw them—she'd die on the spot!
Nanashi's expression turned strange.
"Huh? What are you even thinking about?"
Nami froze.
"I meant we're going to wipe out the fishmen at Arlong Park. Only then will the mission be complete."
"…Ah."
A long pause.
Then—
Realization hit her like a truck.
She'd completely misunderstood!
Mortified, she buried her face against his chest, wishing she could disappear.
"I… I want to die."
She couldn't believe she had seriously thought—
No. Nope. She wasn't finishing that thought.
Soon, they arrived above Arlong Park.
The fishmen below were still drinking, laughing, feasting—completely oblivious.
Unaware that their leader was dead.
Unaware that they were about to die too.
Nanashi wasted no time.
Without warning—he dropped.
Falling from the sky like a meteor.
And then—
BOOM.
The moment his feet hit the ground, the earth shook violently.
The impact sent a powerful shockwave surging outward, like a tidal wave of destruction.
The fishmen barely had a second to react—
Before their bodies were crushed into pieces.
It was over in an instant.
What was once Arlong Park—
Now lay in complete ruins.
Bodies buried beneath the rubble.
Blood soaking into the debris.
Nami could only stare in stunned silence.
Her heart pounded wildly as she took in the devastation.
She knew Nanashi was strong.
But this?
This was monstrous.
"Whoa… amazing."
Her voice trembled with awe.
She turned to look at him—at his composed, handsome profile.
And then—
A feeling of inferiority crept into her heart.
"I'm not worthy of him… am I?"
She was just a lowly thief.
A weak, insignificant girl who had been used and controlled by the fishmen.
Compared to him—
She was nothing.
That self-doubt flickered across her face.
Nanashi noticed it immediately.
Without hesitation, he tightened his grip—one hand firmly supporting her soft curves, pulling her closer.
His other hand pressed against the back of her head.
Their noses touched.
And then—
He kissed her.
"Mmph—!"
Nami's eyes widened in shock.
Before she could even react—
He pulled away.
Licking the corner of his lips, he smirked.
"You won't regret this. And I won't let you regret it. From now on… you're mine. Got it?"
Nami's face exploded with heat.
"I-I won't regret it, you idiot!"
She shot him a glare, fists clenched.
But inside—
Her heart raced.
And a quiet, secret thought whispered in her mind.
"P-Pervert…"
Yet…
For some reason…
She felt relieved.
At that moment—
The notification from the Doomsday Chat Group echoed in both their minds.
[The Arlong Pirates have been annihilated. The reborn fishman Arlong has been eliminated. The Doomsday Mission is complete!]
[Nanashi has obtained 60,000 Doomsday Points; Nami has obtained 15,000 Doomsday Points.]
[Remaining time in this world: 50 minutes.]
"Doomsday Points?"
Nami blinked in confusion.
She had only just entered the chat group and hadn't had time to explore its functions yet.
"They can be used to acquire and enhance abilities. That's how I got mine."
Nanashi explained matter-of-factly, using himself as an example.
"Whoa… that's incredible!"
Realization dawned on her.
These points were power.
With them, she could become as strong as Nanashi.
Her expression grew firm.
"Take mine!"
Nanashi paused, visibly caught off guard.
"Huh? Why? Don't you want to become stronger?"
"I already sold myself to you, idiot!"
Nami shot him an annoyed glare.
Besides, she hadn't done anything to earn these points.
She didn't deserve them.
Nanashi smirked. With a teasing glint in his eye, he gently pinched her chin.
"Haha, already acting like a devoted wife before even marrying me?"
"Who the hell wants to marry you, you perverted bastard?!"
Flustered, Nami's face turned crimson. Furious and embarrassed, she opened her mouth and bit his hand.
To Nanashi, it wasn't painful—if anything, her feisty reaction only added to her charm.
Laughing, he ruffled her hair.
"Keep the points for yourself. I don't take things from my woman. After all, you belong to me."
Nami's heart skipped a beat.
Just as she was about to retort, a loud rustling came from the nearby woods.
A group of people burst onto the scene.
