The woman at the bar downed the rum in one large gulp. "Did you hear," she overheard, "Straw Hat Luffy's made port on the other side of town."
"Straw Hat Luffy?" his companion said, "someone that dangerous and powerful wouldn't think of robbing this town. What's there to steal?"
"I thought so, too, but I saw their Jolly Roger in the distance. He's here." the man finished somewhat nervously.
"We should go," he companion said and the two bolted up and left the bar.
"Ma'am," the bartender, a middle-aged man, said, "you should probably go too. That crew has a total bounty of—"
"11,420,950,050 Beli." the woman interrupted.
"Actually, it's 11,020,950,050…but that's not the point. Their crew consists only of seven members and their pet, yet they were powerful enough to—"
"I know very well the exploits of the Straw Hat Pirates over the past 13 years." She stood up, left a bill on the table, and headed for the door.
"Miss," he called out, "I hope you take my advice and stay hidden. You don't know what those pirates are capable of."
"Don't worry," the woman turned around with a mischievous smile and a wink, "I've dealt with the likes of them before.
As she walked down the streets she noticed that they were empty, "Heh, I'd expect nothing less from the man who—"
"Hey, you," someone screamed. She turned around and saw a huge man—at least twice the height and three times the girth of a normal human—with at least ten swords strapped to his body, "I know who you are."
"Oh, and who might that be?" she said with a smile.
"Don't think I'm an idiot," he screamed as he threw a book at her. She skillfully caught it with one hand and opened to a marked page.
She scanned the two pages before closing the book, "I'm sorry, but this book is outdated. These are almost ten years old."
"Regardless, the bounty on your head is still active. I'm taking you in whether you like it or not, Thief-Cat Nami," The woman brushed a strand of orange hair from her face with a very wide smile as the man drew two swords and charged at her at full speed.
"Idiot," she muttered with a smirk as she pulled out and attached her Perfect Clima Tact in an instant, "do you honestly think it'll be that easy?" she sidestepped and swung the staff down on the man's head as he passed, knocking him out instantly. "There's a reason I have a 400,000,000 Beli bounty." she collapsed the staff and stowed it away on the harness strapped to her thigh.
'Heh,' she thought with a smirk, 'I wonder how Luffy will react when he sees me.'
She looked into the distance at the Jolly Roger that she had longed to see for almost a decade, "I guess it's time I started working on my maps again."
She pulled out a letter, messily stamped, and pulled out the letter on the inside. She smiled at the words that were written. "I knew I'd see him again. I knew he wouldn't forget me," She walked toward the ship, "I think I'm ready for it as well," with a smile on her face she started running toward the ship, wondering what adventures lay ahead of her…
