Chapter 34: Chapter 34
Clang! Clang!
Two crisp metallic sounds rang out as the chains thrown by Mad Treasure were intercepted—one by Luffy and the other by Zoro.
"Chains coming out of his palms, huh? Looks like he's a Devil Fruit user too."
"Tch, ever since I met Luffy, Devil Fruit users keep showing up in front of me."
Zoro rested Wado Ichimonji on his shoulder, staring at Mad Treasure with curious interest.
"Hmph! Genrou and Nami are our nakama. I won't let you lay a hand on them!"
Luffy clenched his fists and warned Mad Treasure angrily.
"This isn't up to you. Attack, Psycho-P!"
"I've been waiting long enough."
The archer Psycho-P let out a cold snort, raised her bow, and aimed straight at Genrou.
"Damn thief. I don't know what trick you pulled, but it doesn't matter. You'll be dead soon enough."
Just as she was about to fire one of her explosive arrows—
"Steal!"
Genrou grinned and instantly activated his "Steal" skill on Psycho-P.
His target, naturally, was the bow in her hands.
The luck stat of Kazuma Satou—the original owner of the power—was second only to the Goddess of Fortune herself. While Genrou's luck wasn't quite as ridiculous as Kazuma's without entering Heroic Spirit Mimicry Mode, the fact that he had just managed to steal Naomi's underwear made it clear that his luck was still extraordinarily high.
If his luck were low, there's no way he would've stolen such a private piece of clothing from a woman.
So now, after swiping Naomi's underwear, his next target was naturally her prized bow.
Fwoosh!
A flash of light streaked past. Genrou once again felt a thin piece of fabric appear in his hands.
Looking down—
He froze.
Not just him—everyone else nearby also stiffened in place when they saw what he was holding.
Then came Naomi's shrill scream.
"AAAHHH! You bastard, I'll kill you!"
Thwip! Thwip! Thwip!
Three arrows flew in quick succession, all aimed at Genrou's face.
Seeing this, Genrou sighed helplessly, stuffed the bra and panties into Nami's hands, and slashed at the incoming arrows with three Flying Slashes.
"Pervert! Why did you hand these to me?!"
Nami glared at Genrou with disgust and flung the undergarments onto the ship.
"It was just a reflex. And stop calling me a pervert—I only used Kazuma Satou's power. He's the pervert, not me."
"Hmph! You seriously won't admit it? You expect me to believe you didn't intend to steal that stuff just because it was his power?"
"If you're going to doubt me that much, I'm heartbroken. I've decided: from now on, I'll diligently train this power so this kind of thing doesn't happen again. Nami, you'll be my training partner."
"No way! Get away from me, you creep!"
Nami hugged herself and backed away repeatedly until she reached the back of the ship.
Meanwhile, on the other side, seeing that Genrou had not only stolen her underwear but casually handed it off to someone else, Naomi's completely lost it.
"YOU BASTARD!! YOU'RE ALL BASTARDS!! GO DIE!!"
Naomi pulled out every arrow in her quiver, clearly ready to go all-out and take Genrou with her.
Having witnessed firsthand the destructive power of those explosive arrows, Luffy and Zoro immediately went on high alert.
But they didn't notice—
Genrou had once again raised his hand in the familiar "Steal" gesture toward Naomi's .
Fwoosh!
That same light shimmered in Genrou's hand.
Naomi's suddenly felt her hands lighten—the weapon had vanished!
"Hehe… finally got it."
"By the way, how did you make these arrows? They explode with such force."
Genrou examined the bow and arrow, smiling as he spoke to Naomi.
"You bastard! Give that back!"
Naomi drew a short blade from her back and leapt toward Genrou.
"Alright, I'll return it then."
Genrou nocked the arrow, and Kazuma's skill "Sniping" activated instantly.
Naomi felt a gust of wind brush past her cheek—and then a massive explosion roared behind her.
The blast threw off her trajectory, and she tumbled headfirst into the sea.
"What the—?! How did the arrow fly so fast?!"
Naomi's head popped out of the water, stunned as she stared at her burning ship.
Logically, even if Genrou used her bow, Mad Treasure should've been able to intercept the arrow with his Jara Jara no Mi (Chain-Chain Fruit) power.
"Sorry, my 'Sniping' skill happens to increase arrow speed."
"And it also boosts destructive power to a certain extent."
"Your explosive arrows were really well-made—so, yeah, that's the result."
Genrou shrugged, stashed the bow away, and spoke casually to Naomi as she floated in the sea.
