In the East Blue, a massive merchant ship was sailing. On its sails, the red and white intertwined umbrella emblem was incredibly conspicuous, fluttering in the wind.
"Big Sister Stella! Why didn't you tell me you were coming to the East Blue?! I could have gone to pick you up!"
Amidst laughter, a girl with orange hair, a hot figure, and wearing skimpy clothing approached Stella with a full smile.
Stella smiled and patted the orange-haired girl on the head, saying: "Nami, haven't you always wanted to meet our big boss behind the scenes and join the core of the Umbrella Corporation? This time, our big boss is coming in person!"
Nami was slightly stunned. She looked up towards the Captain's quarters. Stella laughingly took Nami's hand, pushed open the door, and walked in.
After entering the Captain's quarters, Nami's expression completely lost control. The Captain's quarters, which originally looked to be about 20 square meters, turned out to be at least the size of a football field once inside. The interior was filled with colorful grass and bright flowers, and there was even a small villa in the center!
Watching Nami's silly expression, a smile appeared on the corner of Stella's mouth. She didn't speak, waiting quietly for Nami to come back to her senses.
A moment later, Nami blinked her eyes: "What is going on? Big Sister Stella!! Does this mean we have already left the ship?"
"Of course not, little Nami. This is the Captain's quarters; it's just that the inside is a folded space. Once you have truly met the big boss and become one of us, and seen a bit more, you won't be surprised anymore!"
Stella explained with a smile to the surprised Nami, then led her toward the villa in the center.
In front of the villa's main entrance, a beautiful girl with white hair and a hot, tall figure was sleeping soundly on a table. However, as Stella and Nami approached, the girl suddenly opened her eyes and looked at the two.
"What is it? So it's just you, Stella!"
Yawning, the white-haired woman shook her head. Her two oni horns looked quite eye-catching: "I thought it was someone else? Hmm, is this the new member you wanted to introduce?"
"Yamato, you fell asleep again. Be careful, or I'll tell the boss!"
Stella said with a laugh. Yamato immediately blushed, muttering about how she was a dragon and not a watchdog, which made Stella giggle repeatedly.
Nami kept her head down and didn't say much. Although Yamato appeared to have no airs and was very kind to people, with her fairly excellent Observation Haki, Nami could still perceive what kind of terrifying power was hidden beneath the cute exterior of the white-haired woman in front of her.
Stella and Yamato only chatted for a moment before parting ways. Once the two entered the villa's door, they saw a small reception room.
In the reception room, a beautiful woman with long, straight black hair, wearing black leather clothing and possessing a quiet temperament, sensed someone arriving. She closed the thick book in her hands and looked up at the two: "Stella, is this the talented navigator and financial officer you introduced?"
"That's right, this is little Nami. Robin, you should get to know her too. If she joins us in the future, she will probably have to be your deputy!"
Stella walked over with a smile, holding Nami's hand. At the same time, she introduced her to Nami: "Little Nami, this beautiful woman in front of you is called Nico Robin. She is the big boss's exclusive secretary and deputy. Basically, all the money used in the entire Umbrella Corporation flows through her hands!"
Clearly, Stella was very knowledgeable about how to motivate Nami. Upon hearing this, Nami's eyes turned into the shape of Berries. She gripped Nico Robin's hands with an excited expression.
"Big Sister Robin, my name is Nami, and I am the financial officer for the East Blue branch of the Umbrella Corporation! I'm not bragging, but I have a lot of talent in financial management! In the future, you can just leave the funds to me to manage!"
Robin chuckled, glanced slightly at Nami, and with a soft, husky voice, said with a touch of playfulness: "little thief cat?!"
Nami froze completely. She opened her mouth wide and stayed stunned for a while, before barely managing to smile and say: "W-what... little thief cat... Big Sister Robin, don't listen to other people's rumors... Ever since the Arlong crew collapsed, I have washed my hands of that business and haven't done that line of work for a long time!"
"Alright, I'm not interested in your personal hobbies. At least you've done a good job as a financial officer for the Umbrella Corporation, and you have never embezzled funds. As for you using your work as an opportunity to secretly steal from those wealthy people who are not benevolent, as well as from some pirates, no one will pursue that."
