For a time, the village was covered in a layer of peaceful joy.
It was like celebrating the New Year.
The villagers hugged each other and cried loudly.
They shouted!
Finally, there was peace.
For the past ten years, they had lived in Arlong's nightmare.
Nami had sacrificed many years of her youth for this.
Anyway, this nightmare was finally over.
A group of villagers!
Happily spent the night,
But the next morning, they received a report from a villager.
"Look quickly, there are several warships sailing towards us!"
Hearing this, the faces of the villagers became serious.
Ah Jian quickly ran over and said:
"Which direction are the warships coming from?"
Hearing this, the villager who reported the news looked a little scared.
"They are... they are coming from the east, from the direction of Arlong Park!"
Hearing this!
Genzo clenched his fists, his whole body trembling.
Seeing this, Raynor guessed what was happening.
Marine warships that could boldly sail from the direction of Arlong Park towards them.
Must be the Marines who were in cahoots with Arlong.
Standing next to Raynor, Nami also showed a look of anger in her eyes.
The next second!
Raynor put his hand directly on Nami's shoulder.
"Don't worry, we defeated Arlong, a small Marine is nothing."
Saying that, Raynor got up.
But Luffy and Zoro were still fast asleep.
Raynor didn't bother to wake them.
If nothing went wrong!
It should be Captain Nezumi coming.
Captain Nezumi had been in cahoots with Arlong for many years and was also an extremely greedy guy.
Maybe!
He knows where Arlong's treasure is hidden.
Thinking!
Raynor went straight towards Arlong Park.
...
At this time!
Captain Nezumi had already landed in Cocoyasi Village.
Looking at the mess at Arlong Park.
Captain Nezumi frowned.
Although he had already received news that a group of pirates had invaded Cocoyasi Village.
But he didn't expect!
They would destroy Arlong Park like this.
And Arlong was nowhere to be seen.
Looking at the bloodstains on the ground, the two groups of pirates must have fought, and Arlong lost and fled.
Or maybe he was completely wiped out.
At first, Captain Nezumi was a little shocked, but soon, he showed a sinister smile.
"I didn't expect you to have this day."
"But considering you've supported me for so many years, I'll help you and empty out all your treasures."
For so many years!
Captain Nezumi had been in cahoots with Arlong.
He knew exactly where Arlong's treasure was hidden.
He had not received a report!
Saying that Arlong and his crew had escaped from Cocoyasi Village.
He guessed they were wiped out by the invading pirates.
Although he didn't know who had such great power to defeat Arlong and his crew, he figured they probably hadn't found the treasure.
Thinking of this!
Captain Nezumi didn't hesitate, he directly called a few Marines, told them where the treasure was hidden, and told them to go dig it up.
Captain Nezumi thought those pirates had already left.
But he didn't know that in the shadows, a figure was watching them.
Soon!
Captain Nezumi led a group of Marines to the swimming pool at Arlong Park.
Then!
He ordered the Marine soldiers to start digging.
About half an hour passed, and a group of Marines were already panting.
But they hadn't dug up anything yet.
Raynor, who was observing in the shadows, couldn't help but show a serious look in his eyes.
Watching them!
They had already dug down more than twenty meters.
But still, no treasure was revealed.
Could it be that Arlong had moved the treasure?
Raynor decided to wait a little longer. After another ten minutes, the soldiers were already sweating profusely.
At this time!
Captain Nezumi jumped directly into the pit and moved some of the surrounding soil.
Then a valve appeared before his eyes.
Captain Nezumi used all his strength to turn the valve, and the entire Arlong Park began to shake.
Slowly moving to both sides.
And in the middle of Arlong Park, there was a crack filled with gold, silver, and Berries.
Raynor looked at it and estimated that if all of this was converted into Berries,
It would be as much as one billion Berries.
If they only relied on collecting rent from Cocoyasi Village, they probably wouldn't get that much money.
This was probably the treasure that Arlong had!
Stolen along the way when he retreated from Fish-Man Island.
This treasure!
Is really a little difficult to transport.
If he brought all of it onto the Going Merry.
It's hard to say whether the Going Merry could handle it.
But thinking about that now!
Is useless!
He still has to grab it first.
Thinking of this, Raynor flashed and came to the top of the pit.
"You guys have worked hard, next, all of this treasure is mine."
Hearing this!
Captain Nezumi frowned and looked back in fright.
He almost forgot!
He was in a pit tens of meters deep.
By the time Captain Nezumi reacted and looked up.
He saw a handsome young man standing above him, looking down at him.
A look of fear appeared in Captain Nezumi's eyes.
He seemed to realize something!
He wanted to quickly climb up the rope ladder.
But then!
Raynor simply slid his hand across the rope, and the rope snapped instantly.
Captain Nezumi's eyes widened, and the surrounding Marines were even more scared and ran around.
Overwhelmed by fright!
Plus, the air underneath wasn't circulating.
Some Marines fainted directly.
Captain Nezumi was so scared that his legs went limp, and for a moment, he couldn't speak.
This height!
Although it was only twenty or thirty meters.
But if no one came to save them.
With his own strength, he couldn't climb up at all.
And the person in front of him!
Was very likely the guy who destroyed Arlong's pirate crew.
If such a powerful guy was blocking them above.
It would definitely be as difficult as ascending to heaven for them to get up.
The Marines above!
Were definitely killed by that guy.
Filled with fear!
Captain Nezumi rolled his eyes.
"As long as you let me go, all of this money is yours!"
Hearing this!
Raynor showed a look of contempt in his eyes.
"Fool, even if I don't let you go, this money is still mine!"
Hearing this!
Captain Nezumi was filled with grief and indignation, and fell into despair. He directly took out his gun and fired at Raynor.
No matter how fast he fired, he couldn't hit Raynor.
Raynor seemed to be standing still.
But every time!
The bullets would pass by his side.
This made Captain Nezumi wonder about his marksmanship.
Was it really that bad?!
And after a while!
Raynor also felt a little bored.
He didn't want to play with that guy anymore, he jumped down!
