Instead, Nami listens, nursing her drink right up until Sanji mentions Weiss. It's not a turn she expected his story to take, despite being aware that people end up in this casino in all sorts of weird ways, but out of everybody being kept prisoner here, Weiss is someone she's come to like and trust. While she can imagine what might have happened there, there are worse hands he could have fallen into. ]

I wasn't even gonna go to that dumb auction. [ The corners of her lips quirk up in a subdued smirk. ] Guess you got lucky. [ Or, she did, not that Nami's the type to come out and express a sentiment like that. ]

Wish I had something hopeful to offer, but at least you're here now, and I won you fair and square.
