I see only one solution

At first, Eragon thought he will only need a couple of hours at most to catch up with Nami, but after half a day he still didn't see his ship, making him quite frustrated.

[Chakra + 3 exp]

[Chakra Control + 2 exp]

[Ninjutsu + 1 exp]

[Running + 5 exp]

'At least I can earn some exp from this shit' Hearing the system notification Eragon's irritation faded a little as he continued running.

When he finally reached his ship it was already the middle of the night. Even though he was quite sullen about the whole situation he secretly admired Nami's skill in navigation, to be able to reach such a far distance in so little time required true talent in navigation. If he didn't catch up to her she will only need two more days to reach Arlong Park at Conomi islands.

Diffusing his lightning so he won't be noticed Eragon secretly boarded the ship and spread his awareness to search for Nami on the ship.

Eragon quickly sensed a weak life signal in one of the rooms, entering the room stealthily he found Nami soundly sleeping on his bed, naked.

'What the fuck?? Why is she naked?' Amused, Eragon's eyes shamelessly scanned towards her bright fair skin, secretly admiring her beautiful breasts heaving up and down till he was satisfied. He wasn't really a gentleman so he didn't feel bad with what he just did 'It's a real shame the area below her chest is covered by the blanket, sigh'

Knowing he must hurry, he reluctantly left Nami's room and headed to see if his money was still in the storage room, finding the money wasn't touched Eragon considered for a moment before he implemented the plan he thought of when he chased after his ship.

Taking all the gold and treasures, he put them in one big pile before he wrapped it all up and put it on his back 'This probably weighs more than 400 kilos…'

Making sure the knot won't come loose he jumped into the sea again before he started running in the direction of Conomi islands.

'Hehehe I hope you will like the surprise, Nami' While running he couldn't help but start imagining Nami's face when she found out all the money was gone. He already had a plan for what he's going to do with Nami and taking his money back was only the beginning of his revenge, there was no way he will let Nami get off this easily.

Increasing his speed to the maximum he could reach, Eragon ran while humming a song, clearly in a cheery mood.

In the middle of the night the next day he finally saw his destination, Conomi islands. Reaching his hands into the sea, he caught two big fish and started roasting them when he reached the beach.

'Finally, I can have something to eat, I feel so famished I can practically eat a whole cow! Nami, you better be ready cuz someone must pay for all of this suffering!' It has been more than 24 hours since the last time Eragon ate and slept so it was understandable why he was in a bad mood.

*Burp*

Patting his full stomach satisfied, Eragon used his earth Ninjutsu to bury his treasures before he finally gave in to his exhaustion and fell asleep on the beach like a homeless person.

...

After a long cold night, the daybreak brought glimmers of warmth. The golden light softly caressed the land and ignited the birds into a chorus of melodies.

Waking up Eragon habitually searched for his pillow only to remember he was sleeping out in the open.

Standing up Eragon surveyed his surrounding carefully, yesterday night he couldn't see more than a few meters ahead. He especially took note of where he buried his treasures before leaving to search for breakfast.

While eating Eragon considered what he should do next, concentrating on the seal to figure Nami's speed he concluded 'If Nami continues sailing at her current speed she will reach Arlong Park sometime around noon today'

For the next phase of Eragon's plan, he needed to wait for Nami to arrive so he figured he might as well farm experience points for some of his skills.

"Kage Bunshin no Jutsu!"

Creating 10 Shadow clones, he separated them into five groups with two clones in each group.

Each group went their separate ways to do Nature Transformation training in one of the elements, while Eragon himself used his weight jutsu to train his body.

The day quickly passed and the sun was already starting to fade on the horizon.

Knowing it was time to stop he made a hand sign and released his shadow clones, immediately receiving multiple system notifications.

[Chakra + 1,941 exp]

[Chakra Control + 1,785 exp]

[Ninjutsu + 756 exp]

Opening his system, he checked on the three skills the shadow clones trained all day.

'Mmm, if I continue to train like this, Ninjutsu should probably reach the next level by the end of the week'

While thinking about his training plan, Eragon did a mental check on his seal and found out his ship has already reached Arlong Park, meaning Nami have arrived. Packing his things Eragon left to find his ship.

Eragon reached his ship half an hour later, the ship was docked next to a small village which Eragon could infer was Nami's home.

Doing a quick search on the ship he found no one, turning his head towards the village Eragon guessed Nami must have left to visit her sister in the village 'Mmm, I will just wait for her here and if she doesn't come back by tomorrow morning I will go look for her. Fuck! I need a shower'

Sleeping on the sand might not have been one of Eragon's best decisions as his body was itching the whole day.

After a long hot shower, he made himself something to eat before going to sleep, making sure to be alert enough to notice if Nami returned In the middle of the night.

Waking up the next morning Eragon was feeling refreshed, knowing the day was going to be an excellent day. After a quick breakfast, Eragon made his way to the village to search for Nami.

*Whisper~Whisper*

Wandering around the village Eragon could see people were whispering with one another while sneaking glances at him. The village wasn't big so it only took him half an hour to find his target.

'At long last!' Further down the road, he could see Nami walking with a gloomy expression, she was clearly in a bad mood as she didn't even respond to the greetings of the villagers. Hiding his smile Eragon did his best to maintain a natural expression as he continued walking while he deliberately didn't look in her direction.

Eventually, Nami noticed Eragon, opening her eyes in shock, panic covered her face as she froze, not sure what to do.

'Coincidentally' looking in Nami's direction Eragon acted surprise like he just noticed her for the first time. Using the best acting skills he could muster, Eragon's face twisted in anger as he shouted "Nami!! Stay where you are! don't move!!"

Seeing Eragon take notice of her, Nami's panic intensified as she turned around In an attempt to escape only to be pinned down the next moment.

"Where do you think you're going!? Where is my ship? Where is my money??" Holding Nami's shoulders so she won't escape he looked her in the eyes while asking with a furious expression.

Eragon's expression really scared the shit out of Nami, this was the second time she saw him this furious. Remembering how Eragon tortured a pirate before killing him with that exact same expression, she couldn't help but stutterer "W..Wait!! you don't understand! I did it for you!!"

"HAHAHA, you did it for me!?" Raising his head Eragon laughed hysterically "I saved you, fed you, gave you a place to sleep, so you steal my money and ship! Because that's how you repay person, right???" Nami's answer ignited Eragon's anger for real, what kind of shitty answer was that?

Hearing what Eragon said, Nami was stunned as she wasn't sure how to respond.

*Whisper~Whisper*

Looking to the side she could see the other villagers pointing fingers at her and whispering. she never felt so ashamed in her entire life. Tears began welling up in her eyes as she lowered her head and covered her face with her hands "Sob sob, I am sorry, I am sorry"

Frowning, Eragon glanced from the corner of his eyes at the whispering villagers before he covered his body in wind chakra and disappeared with Nami to the shock of the villagers.

Appearing at a remote corner alley of the village, Eragon let go of Nami and crossed his hands on his chest while waiting for Nami to calm down.

It took Nami a few minutes before she calmed down, not bothering to wipe the tears she looked at Eragon In the eyes and said with the most sincere tone she could "You must believe me Eragon, I did it for you… you don't know how strong Arlong is, he is a Fishman! No human can defeat him!"

Staring at Nami with a cold expression, Eragon didn't bother with her phobia and asked instead "Are you going to give me my money back or not?"

"I..I can't" A trace of unease flashed through Nami's eyes as she averted her head to the side.

'Hehehe of course you can't, I already stole it back' Although he was laughing on the inside, Eragon didn't let it show on his face.

Catching Nami's chin, he turned her face so she would look him in the eyes. His face turned darker than thunderclouds, and he snorted "You seriously don't want to piss me off right now, Nami!"

"I really can't! it's gone! your money is gone, someone stole it from me!" With an aggrieved face, Nami yelled. Remembering how she woke up three days ago to find out someone stole her money right under her nose she felt so furious. She swore that if she ever found out who did it she will beat the shit out of him, break his bones, drink his blood and skin him alive!

"Someone stole the money? Who?" With an incredulous expression Eragon asked, doing his best to act surprised. It took all of his strength to stop himself from laughing, feeling this plan of venting himself was actually pretty good.

"I don't know who! he stole it in the middle of the night like a coward!' Gritting her teeth Nami said in frustration.

"Now, Why does that sound so familiar?" Raising his eyebrow Eragon mocked while looking at Nami with a blaming look "Anyhow, I don't care how you are going to do it, you stole a ship and 80 million berry so you will return a ship and 80 million berry!"

"B..But I don't have that much money…" Nami's expression became aghast. She was already doing her best to produce 100 million berry for Arlong and now this? There is no way she can incur another debt!

"Well then, I see only one solution for this problem" Saying this Eragon scanned Nami's body from head to toe.

Seeing Eragon looking at her in a weird way freaked her out. Taking a step back Nami put her hands on her chest defensively and said "W..What do you want? I..I'm not selling my body, I'm not a prostitute!"

"Wow, I think we have a misunderstanding here.." Acting surprised, Eragon opened his eyes wide and continued "The solution I thought of is you working for me until you pay tour debt, I need someone to clean my ship and wash my clothes. Besides, I already have Caroline so where did you get that idea from?"

'Heheheh You thought you can steal from me and get away this easily? Not a chance in hell lady!'
