At this time, Sanji lit another cigarette and smelled it.
"It doesn't smell like food, and it's not like eating."
Zoro looked at his Wado Ichimonji sword and said, looking up:
"I sense killing intent!"
Usopp quickly said:
"Please, let's get out of here!"
...
Inside a dark room.
Nami's eyes were red and swollen, and she held her forehead.
Nojiko was by her side.
Taking care of her carefully!
After a little while.
Nami slowly stood up from the chair.
Although her head still hurt a lot, her eyes were very firm.
"No, I absolutely can't just sit and wait for death."
"Even if I have to beg Arlong, I will save the villagers!"
Hearing this, Nojiko grabbed Nami's shoulders with both hands and pushed Nami back down.
"It's no use, Arlong is a cruel and evil pirate."
"Now that his crew members have been killed, he definitely won't let this go."
Hearing these words, tears streamed down Nami's face.
"Then what should I do? Have all these years of effort been wasted?"
Hearing this.
A look of sadness also appeared in Nojiko's eyes.
She didn't know how to comfort Nami.
Just then.
Suddenly, a noisy sound rang out from outside.
In an instant!
Shouts shook the heavens and the earth.
Hearing the sound, Nami thought the fish-men were attacking, so she hurried out to check the situation.
Upon seeing what was happening, Nami was even more shocked.
She saw the village chief, Genzo, holding a hoe, raising his arms and shouting.
"Let's unite and fight those fish-men!"
"How dare they make our Nami suffer so much? We've had enough!"
"For Nami, for the village, we must drive Arlong out!"
Hearing this!
Nami's eyes narrowed.
Did the villagers know all along?
Nami's tears.
Could no longer be stopped from flowing.
She wanted to go up and stop them, but Nojiko stopped her.
"Enough, Nami!"
"There's no reason not to resist anymore!"
"Do you know how much we've endured all these years!"
"This is the path we should have taken ten years ago!"
Saying this.
A hint of darkness appeared in Nojiko's eyes, and she said with a determined expression:
"It might be cruel to you, but we've really had enough!"
Nojiko picked up a stick and followed the crowd, walking away without hesitation.
Nami knelt on the ground with blank eyes.
Not knowing what to do.
...
Arlong Park.
At this time.
Arlong was lying on a deck chair, sunbathing.
Just then, a fish-man ran in quickly from outside.
"Bad news, boss, the villagers are suddenly rebelling."
"They're running towards the park!"
Hearing this, Arlong's eyes narrowed slightly, but he didn't take it too seriously.
"Finally couldn't take it anymore? It's already hard for them to endure for ten years."
"It's time to find a new village."
"Don't let any of the villagers go, and by the way, don't forget to bring Nami."
Saying this.
Arlong laughed out loud.
At this moment, another fish-man came running over.
"Arlong, boss, bad news, Aokiji's body was found at the entrance to the village!"
Hearing this, Arlong's face changed drastically, and his laughter stopped abruptly.
His expression gradually turned cold.
"What did you say?!"
Hearing Arlong's question, the fish-man's face turned pale, and he continued:
"Aokiji, he was killed!"
Hearing this, Arlong gritted his teeth and stood up instantly.
"Who did it? I'm going to make them pay with blood!"
Arlong hated it so much that his teeth itched!
In the East Blue, someone actually dared to harm his people.
Arlong didn't even suspect!
That it was done by the rebelling villagers.
In this weakest sea of the East Blue!
There couldn't be a creature that could defeat his fish-men.
Even sea beasts!
Had been conquered by them.
Moreover!
They were just villagers with no power to fight back.
It must be someone who invaded this island and killed the fish-man, which triggered their rebellious mood.
Thinking of this, Arlong's teeth gnashed, and he shouted loudly:
"Gather all the brothers, search the entire village, and find the invaders for me!"
As soon as he finished speaking.
All the fish-men had gathered.
Each of them raising their arms and shouting.
Preparing to massacre the entire Cocoyasi Village.
...
Raynor and his crew arrived at the door of Nami's house.
Seeing Nami crying!
Luffy couldn't help but frown.
Usopp opened his mouth slightly, wanting to say something, but didn't say it.
However!
His body was no longer shaking as much as before.
Sanji put out the cigarette in his hand, his expression heavy.
Zoro and Raynor's expressions were cold.
Raynor knew what Nami had been through, and there were no big changes in his heart.
Only heartache for Nami.
Zoro didn't think about anything, he only cared about who he was going to cut next.
Instantly!
All eyes turned to their captain, Luffy.
At this time, Luffy's expression was even more serious, and he walked straight over.
He held out his hand!
Without using his abilities to try to pull Nami up.
Nami didn't appreciate it at all, and slapped Luffy's hand away.
"Get away, I hate you pirates the most!"
Nami kept sobbing.
Luffy didn't move.
Just stood there!
Quietly looking at Nami.
Nami's mental defenses collapsed little by little, then she turned her head and looked at Luffy with tearful eyes and said:
"Help me, Luffy!"
Luffy didn't say anything, and took off his straw hat.
Then put it on Nami's head.
He quietly walked to the side and looked up to the sky and shouted.
"Of course!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the Straw Hat crew all showed happy smiles.
Although Usopp was still very scared.
But seeing Nami crying, there was also a trace of shock in his eyes.
That kind of sadness and pain!
He could feel it.
Raynor didn't talk to Nami, and turned around and walked towards Arlong Park.
Luffy and the others didn't ask any more questions and followed Raynor directly.
Even Usopp walked with such determination.
Although his legs were a little wobbly.
Looking at their determined backs, the tears in Nami's eyes surged again.
But soon!
She wiped away the tears and, like Nojiko.
Picked up a stick and followed.
She absolutely couldn't let her friends bear these things alone.
In her heart!
She had already regarded Raynor and the others as her friends!
Friends and villagers!
Were ready to fight Arlong and his crew.
As the person involved, how could she not participate!
Thinking, Nami quickened her pace.
Soon!
Raynor and his crew had arrived at Arlong Park.
At this time, the villagers of Arlong Park were already fighting with the fish-men.
The battle was almost a foregone conclusion.
They couldn't hurt the fish-men at all, not even a hair.
Their hoes and sickles kept hitting the fish-men.
The fish-men were unharmed.
But with a simple wave of a fish-man's hand, they could be sent flying dozens of meters away.
