Marine Headquarters~~
Marineford.
Sengoku's face was green at this moment!!!
When the Straw Hat Pirates defeated the Arlong Pirates in Cocoyasi Village and dealt with Colonel Nezumi's crew, this matter was only reported after Colonel Nezumi "filtered" it.
He only mentioned that the Straw Hat Pirates eliminated the Arlong Pirates, without saying a word about his own dirty dealings with the Arlong Pirates...
So, Sengoku was kept in the dark about this matter~~~
Otherwise, if it were such a humiliating matter, no matter how foolish Sengoku was, he wouldn't foolishly offer his face to be slapped.
...
Edward Newgate: "Sengoku...
...??? What's going on...
...??? I've never seen such a quick and tragic face-slapping incident. You've truly opened my eyes, GURARARARARA...
...!!!"
Marco: "Hahaha! This is truly hilarious~~~"
Charlotte Linlin: "This Viewing System is so interesting. Sengoku, that idiot, really asked for it!!!"
Monkey D. Dragon: "Is this the Marine you claim represents justice???"
Monkey D. Garp: "Shut your damn mouth!!!"
Sengoku: "Nezumi!!! Get out here!!!! I demand an explanation!!!"
Nezumi: "Fleet Admiral...
... Uh... this...
... I don't know what's going on either...
... Perhaps this Viewing System is lying...???"
Colonel Nezumi was panicking inside at this moment~~~
He had previously concealed this matter and even took the opportunity to maliciously slander the Straw Hat Pirates.
It could be said that...
Luffy's 30 million Beli bounty even before leaving the East Blue was at least half due to Colonel Nezumi's "efforts"...
Sengoku: "You bastard!!! After the viewing event is over, you better come to Marine Headquarters and explain yourself to me in person!!!"
Damn it!
This old man has already received the Great Majestic Dragon Kasaya, and you're still telling me this Viewing System is lying???
Sengoku had basically guessed the actual situation in his heart~~~
Edward Newgate: "Viewing over??? Don't dream! Do you think Marine Headquarters will still exist when the viewing is over??"
Sengoku: "Don't talk big!!!! It's just an extra Roger and an Oden. This old man's strength has directly increased! When the time comes, I'll let you monsters witness the power of my Great Majestic Dragon!!! Hmph!"
Gol D. Roger: "Such big talk... why don't you bite yourself to death??"
Buggy: "Captain, don't worry, I'm already at Marine Headquarters too. My Shikotsumyaku is absolutely unimaginably strong!! 037!"
The video continued to play~~
[Colonel Nezumi's group arrived at Nami's residence.]
[Nami was outside, leaning against the wall, silently calculating how much money she had saved.]
["It's almost time to go! Just one more theft, and I should have enough money to buy back the village!"]
[Her eyes gleamed with hope, and Nami's face was filled with a sweet smile~~~]
[Just as she was about to leave, Colonel Nezumi's voice came: "Squeak, squeak, squeak... I am Colonel Nezumi of Marine Headquarters Eighth Branch, are you the criminal named Nami...?"]
["Criminal???"]
[Nami was slightly stunned, then she saw Colonel Nezumi's group.]
[She smiled faintly: "Well, yes, since I'm a pirate, I guess I am a criminal. But... I'm an executive of the Arlong Pirates!"]
["I think you understand very well that if you lay a hand on me, Arlong will definitely not stand by."]
[Nami crossed her arms over her chest, not putting Colonel Nezumi in her eyes at all. She sneered: "Now... do you still have business with me?"]
["Squeak, squeak, squeak... What are you talking about pirates or not pirates??? I completely don't understand... I haven't received any such information about pirates~"]
["Of course, I won't lay a hand on you. But the information I received is... that you are a thief!"]
Capone Bege: "Pfft...! This Colonel Nezumi really has some thick skin...! He clearly heard about the Arlong Pirates but can still seriously pretend he hasn't heard any information about pirates~"
Scratchmen Apoo: "Ah bah bah bah bah!!! This is very clear, isn't it? It's obvious that this Colonel Nezumi definitely has connections with the pirate crew!"
Smoker: "This disgrace of the Marines!!! He simply insults the word 'Justice' on the back of the Marine coat!!! What a shame for the Marines...!!!"
Hina: "You damned bastard!!!"
Sengoku: "Nezumi!!!!!!"
At this moment, in the Marine Headquarters Eighth Branch official's office...
Colonel Nezumi was trembling with fear as if he had been chewed up by a master...
"It's over, it's over... If I go back to Marine Headquarters, I'll definitely be executed, right?"
"Damn it, this matter was supposed to be over!!! This damned Viewing System, why did it have to expose it!!!"
"Damn it, Whitebeard Pirates, Roger... you must destroy Marine Headquarters!!!!"
To save his life, Colonel Nezumi had gone completely mad at this point...
He only hoped that Marine Headquarters would truly be destroyed, so no one could hold him accountable...
["I heard you stole a lot of treasure from pirates. Since it was stolen from pirates, I won't pursue your responsibility. However, the stolen goods are still stolen, and should be handed over to the World Government for safekeeping!"]
["What are you saying...!!!"]
[Colonel Nezumi's eyelids slightly drooped, revealing a sinister glint: "I mean... all the treasures you've stolen so far must be handed over to us!!!"]
[Saying that, he waved his hand: "Bring out the stolen goods!"]
["Stop it!!" ]
[In a fit of rage, Nami fiercely knocked down a Marine with a staff.]
[She stared at Colonel Nezumi with a furious expression: "Why!? Is this what the Marines should be doing now?"]
["Aren't there more important things to do?! Arlong and his crew destroy towns and kill indiscriminately!!! You all know it!!!!"]
["Because of those guys, everyone on this island has become a slave!!" ]
["Ignoring those heinous pirates, but robbing a small thief of all her stolen goods, is this the will of the World Government???"]
[Facing Nami's soul-stirring question, Colonel Nezumi merely shrugged and sneered: "Criminals always like to pretend to be noble and say these great things. What a foolish little girl... Squeak, squeak, squeak."]
["Colonel, there's a problem with this orange grove!" A Marine soldier discovered the issue. Nami fought with the Marine soldiers again~ Soon, all the villagers understood that Colonel Nezumi was clearly in cahoots with Arlong!!! He even knew almost the exact amount of money Nami had saved...]
["Damn it!!! You scoundrels, you've become Arlong's lackeys!"]
[Nami finally realized that justice would not come, and she angrily pushed through the crowd, rushing towards Arlong Park.]
[After she left, the Marines dug up a large sum of treasure from the Orange Grove.]
["Squeak, squeak, squeak, there's actually 93 million Beli!!! What a wonderful day, hahaha!!!!"]
[Amidst a burst of boisterous laughter, Colonel Nezumi's warship sailed away from Cocoyasi Village's port~]
[More and more villagers gathered in front of Nami's house, staring dumbfounded at the ruined Orange Grove~]
["It's all over, folks. Grab your weapons and prepare to fight!" Genzo, the village's only police officer, roared with determined eyes.]
["Eight years ago, we were ready to risk our lives and fight them, but then we swore... as long as Nami was still holding onto her method of salvation, we would hold out in this 'battle of endurance'!"]
["But now... since Nami's method has been proven unworkable, all hope for saving this island has been extinguished!"]
["Those damned fish-men are simply toying with Nami's kindness! We absolutely cannot forgive those bastards!!!!"]
["Bastards!! We'll fight them to the death!!!!"]
["No need to endure any longer!!" ]
["Fight to the death!!!"]
["Fight!!" ]
[...]
[At once, all the villagers, regardless of gender or age, picked up the weapons they had secretly forged over the past eight years!]
[They knew this battle was unwinnable, but they still had to fight!]
Sakazuki: "Damn pirates!!!! They all deserve to die!!!"
Upon seeing this scene, Sakazuki's childhood instantly flashed in his mind~
Pirates attacked a village, and the villagers fought back~
As a result... the entire village died, with only a very small number of children miraculously surviving~
How similar this scene was to the one before him!!
Rocks D. Xebec: "Damn it, are you an idiot? In this matter, you Marines are the more disgusting ones!!!!"
Trafalgar D. Water Law: "What a despairing scene... I wonder how Nami's family has endured all this time?"
Franky: "This is truly infuriating!!!! I hate that I didn't know you back then, otherwise, I would have skinned that seafood called Arlong alive!!!"
Monkey D. Dragon: "Resistance is the only way!!! Facing injustice, not resisting is the only way out...!"
Monkey D. Garp: "You dog, can you shut up!!! No one will think you're mute if you don't speak!"
Gion: "Did all these villagers die in battle...?"
Hina: "Sigh... against those fish-men, they surely only had one path: death."
["Everyone, wait!!!"]
[Just as the villagers were preparing to fight the Arlong Pirates to the death, Nami ran back.]
["Please wait one more time, I'll try again..."]
["I'll save up money again, it won't take as long this time..."]
[Her frail body stood in front of her fellow villagers, Nami looking at everyone with a sweet smile on her face.]
[However...]
[Anyone present could clearly see Nami's eyes, swollen red from crying...]
[Beneath her strong, smiling exterior, this girl had endured far too much!!!!!]
[Looking at Nami's strong yet scarred spirit, Genzo, who had always regarded Nami as his own daughter, was filled with tears!!!]
[He looked]
Embracing Nami in his arms!
"That's enough..."
"You know it's no use, don't you..."
"For you, joining those bastards is more painful than being cut by a knife, isn't it!!"
"You've carried the lives of our entire village on your own until now, you've worked hard..."
These words struck Nami like a bolt of lightning!!!
Tears streamed down her face!!!
Grievance, pain, confusion, regret...
Countless emotions surged forth!!!
Genzo stroked Nami's head, then steadied her with both hands: "You... just leave the village!"
"What?!" Nami's eyes widened in surprise.
Nojiko, standing nearby, smiled gently, "You, Nami... you're not just full of schemes, you also have dreams!! You've done enough for us, this time, please go and pursue your dreams!"
"Nami!!! Go pursue your dreams!!!"
"Leave this place, we will be proud of you!!"
"Please, you must leave!! Don't disappoint our final wish!!!!"
...
The villagers were resolved to die; at this moment, they only wished for Nami to live happily and realize her dreams one day!!!
"No!! I won't allow you to go!! I don't want to see anyone else get hurt by them!"
Nami pulled out her dagger and aimed it at the crowd, wanting to stop everyone.
However, Genzo calmly grabbed the blade!
His palm bled freely, yet he showed no fear.
"Get out of the way, Nami!"
Genzo swung his arm forcefully, pulling Nami down with him...
The villagers marched grandly towards Arlong Park... "to their deaths~"
Nami knelt on the ground, listening to the villagers' roars, the cruel image of Arlong surfacing in her mind...
"Arlong! Arlong!!!"
With her heart shattered, she grabbed the dagger and savagely stabbed her left arm!!!
There, the tattoo of the Arlong Pirates was... one stab! Two stabs!!! Three stabs!!!!!!
As this scene played, the entire chat room fell silent!!!!!
Everyone's nerves were deeply stimulated...
Regardless of their identity or faction, they all felt a deep sympathy for this frail young girl from the bottom of their hearts!!!
As the fourth stab was about to descend...
A hand suddenly appeared from behind Nami and grabbed her small hand!!!
Drip, drop, drip, drop~
Blood dripped from her delicate arm onto the ground. Nami's body trembled slightly, and she looked back...
It was Luffy~
From beginning to end, Luffy didn't know why Nami was stealing money, nor did he know what "great mountain" she was burdened with...
Nami weakly pounded the ground: "What's wrong, you clearly don't know anything... it has nothing to do with you..."
Luffy stood like a wooden stake: "Yeah, I don't know."
"Didn't I tell you to hurry and leave this island!! Wuwu..."
Covering her face with her right hand, tears poured down her cheeks~
She grabbed a handful of sand with her left hand and threw it at Luffy behind her...
"That's right, you did say that." Luffy still stood quietly.
"......!"
Her delicate body trembled more and more violently as Nami cried bitterly...
At a certain moment, a tender face, tear-streaked like pear blossoms in the rain, suddenly turned back..."
"Luffy..."
"Save me..."
Her piteous voice, helpless, flew out.
The next moment, a straw hat was placed on Nami's head...!
Luffy walked forward, his back to Nami, and let out a somewhat goofy, cathartic roar to the sky: "OF COURSE!!!!"
On the road~
Zoro sat coolly against a flowerbed!
Usopp sat cross-legged, feigning sleep!
Sanji stood in the middle of the road, one hand in his pocket, smoke drifting...
Luffy strode forward~
That year... the Straw Hat Pirates...
Were as cool as a painting!
Didn't know what an opponent was!
