Chapter 47: Fight With Arlong And His Gang!
"Zhizhizhizhi...Is anyone here?"
Suddenly hearing a voice coming from outside the door, Nami and Nokigao looked at each other, both full of doubts.
The two opened the door and walked out, and saw a Colonel Marine dressed like a mouse and a group of Marine soldiers standing outside their wooden house.
Nami frowned, anger and disgust in his eyes.
Arlong and his gang were wreaking havoc and making money in Cocosia Village and dozens of nearby villages, but Colonel Marine, who was responsible for the jurisdiction of this area, never stopped them.
So Nami's dislike for Colonel Rat is no worse than Arlong's.
Nami whispered in a deep voice.
"What's wrong with you?"
Colonel Mouse smiled obscenely, then revealed a strange smile and said.
"Squeak, squeak, squeak... We received reports from the masses that there are thieves here."
"He stole a lot of other people's treasures and hid them in this orange grove."
"Now we must take back all these ill-gotten gains in accordance with the law."
"Squeak, squeak, squeak..."
Colonel Mouse smiled obscenely again, and then gave orders to the Marines behind him.
"Search for me."
"Turn this orange grove upside down and find the treasure."
When his subordinate Marine heard this, he immediately planned to take action.
At this moment, Nami took out two iron rods from the middle of his chest and combined them together, blocking them in front of everyone.
At this time, her face was extremely gloomy, and the anger in her eyes seemed to tear everyone in front of her into pieces.
Shen Sheng shouted angrily.
"No one is allowed to come near!"
Seeing this scene, Colonel Mouse narrowed his eyes slightly and said with a slight threat.
"Miss, are you going against our Marine?"
As soon as he finished speaking, dozens of guns were aimed at Nami.
"Nami!"
Nokigao, whose eyes were full of worry, called Nami's name.
Nami didn't retreat at all at this moment and said in a deep voice.
"Arlong asked you to come, right?"
Colonel Mouse did nothing against Arlong's evil deeds. Even if Nami had not seen their transaction, she could guess what was going on.
Colonel Mouse pretended to be confused in the face of questioning and said.
"Arlong? What Arlong?"
"I came here after receiving reports from the masses."
"Miss, please get out of the way quickly, otherwise don't blame us for being rude."
As soon as he finished speaking, Colonel Mouse raised his hand, and all the Marines loaded their bullets.
At this time, Nuo Qigao panicked and immediately rushed over and pulled the lost Nami aside.
He apologized to Colonel Mouse with a smile on his face.
"I'm sorry, Colonel."
"My sister is ignorant, so don't argue with her."
"You can go ahead and search."
"But we have nothing to do with the thieves you mentioned."
"We don't know if any thieves have hidden the treasure here."
Colonel Mouse saw this and smiled arrogantly, with pride in his eyes.
Then he waved to Marine behind him, and everyone rushed into the orange grove.
...
After a while.
"Treasure found, Colonel Mouse!"
"A rough estimate would be close to 100 million Baileys!"
A report from a Marine soldier suddenly came from the orange grove.
Colonel Mouse's eyes widened when he heard the words 100 million Baileys.
Arlong promised him a 50-50 share of these treasures, which meant that he could get 50 million beli this time.
Thinking of this number, Colonel Mouse's breathing became heavier.
After suppressing the excitement in his heart, Colonel Mouse gave the order loudly.
"Take all the treasures and we retreat!"
"Squeak, squeak, squeak...now I'm rich!"
The latter sentence was said secretly by Colonel Mouse, but it was still heard by Nami and Nokigao.
Suddenly, the frustrated Nami broke away from Nokkigao's arms and rushed out.
A few tears she shed while running were also sprinkled in the air.
"Nami?!"
Nokigao called Nami worriedly, but the other party didn't look back and quickly disappeared from Nokigao's sight.
...
Cocosia Village.
Hundreds of angry villagers, holding shovels, hoes, wooden sticks and other weapons in their hands, followed a man wearing a guard uniform with a windmill on top of his hat and a scar on his face, Ajian.
Under the leadership of Ajian, these people all came to the wooden house surrounded by orange trees.
Looking at Nuo Qigao who was sitting on the ground with a worried and sad look on his face, Ajian frowned and asked.
"Did those guys take away the money Nami saved to buy the village?"
Just now, they saw a group of Marines appearing in the village inexplicably, and when they left, they were carrying large and small bags with a golden light inside.
So, everyone followed Ajian in anger to inquire about the situation.
Nuo Qigao's eyes were blank, he just sat on the ground and nodded silently.
Suddenly, all the villagers became angry and said angrily.
"Those bastards Marine are so disgusting, they actually took away the money that Nami had worked so hard to save to buy the village!"
"That must have been the instigation of Arlong. They had no intention of letting Nami go."
"Nami has suffered for eight years for our village. We cannot let Nami continue to suffer."
"We went to fight those nasty fishmen to free Nami."
"Fight them, for Nami!"
...
For a moment, all the villagers held weapons and raised their arms and shouted, full of momentum.
They watched helplessly as Nami lived in pain for them and this village for so many years.
They usually don't even dare to see Nami for fear of putting pressure on her.
But now, the group of fishmen went back on their word and designed to take away Nami's hope.
They just couldn't stand it anymore.
Nuo Qigao gritted his teeth as he looked at the angry villagers.
After listening to the happy things Nami said, she no longer wanted to see Nami continue to suffer.
She wanted to see Nami happy.
"Fight with Arlong and his gang!"
Nokigao angrily got up from the ground and joined the villagers.
Cocosia Village, close to the sea on the shore.
"Oh?! I saw it, I saw it, it's the Merry!"
Usopp stood on the bow of the ship, looking at the Golden Merli anchored on the coast in front of him, and shouted in surprise.
"It's finally here!"
Luffy looked at the island he was about to arrive at, the corners of his mouth raised.
"Wait, my stupid navigator."
