"No, but it's not needed anymore!"
"What do you mean, not needed?"
A Jian didn't understand what Nami meant.
"Not needed means there's no need to give Arlong that 100 million berries!"
Reno's voice came from behind Nami.
It was then that A Jian noticed Reno and the group of people.
A group of people with distinctive appearances.
Finally, his gaze lingered on Reno.
Reno's handsome face bore a striking resemblance to his own when he was young.
"Are you Nami's companions??"
A Jian asked, puzzled.
"That's right, we are Nami's companions. Hello, uncle, I'm Nami's older brother!"
"My name is Rapid Edge!!"
Rapid Edge, always quick to make friends, introduced himself.
Seeing a robot greet him, A Jian looked bewildered.
"Alright, everyone, I'll take you to see my home and my sister."
Nami called out to Reno and the others, walking towards the house.
Led by Nami, the group quickly arrived at Nami's room.
Although not large, it was very tidy.
It was evident that A Jian had been cleaning it for her during Nami's absence.
As soon as they walked in, there was a warm feeling.
"Since you're Nami's friends, please sit down."
After Nami explained everything to her sister Nojiko, Nojiko also warmly greeted Reno and the others.
After a brief exchange of greetings, everyone got down to business.
"Have you really decided to make an enemy of Arlong??"
"That guy is despicable, but he's very strong."
Nojiko looked at Nami with concern.
She was afraid that if they failed to defeat Arlong, the consequences would be even more terrifying.
She didn't even dare to imagine what kind of horrific things that bastard Arlong would do.
"Don't worry, he's just a small Fishman."
"We don't even put him in our eyes."
Reno's casual remark made Nojiko nod slightly.
He seemed very confident.
0···Please give flowers···"Sister, don't worry, their strength is very great; dealing with an Arlong is simply not a problem."
Knowing that Nojiko still had concerns, Nami said.
"It seems I was overthinking."
Seeing that Nami was also so confident meant that Reno and his companions truly possessed great strength.
"That bastard Arlong killed so many people, leaving so many displaced. I wish I could skin him right now!"
"Since that's the case, let's go deal with Arlong first."
"After we've handled his matter, what about we talk about other things?"
Reno suggested.
He knew that as long as Arlong was alive, Nami would always have a hurdle in her heart that she couldn't overcome.
"Go now?? Are you sure??"
Hearing that Reno wanted to act immediately, Nojiko was still a bit worried.
"Don't worry, it's just a matter of one slash."
At this moment, the narcissistic Rapid Edge popped up again.
However, everyone automatically ignored him.
After discussion, everyone agreed with Reno's opinion.
