Navigation: Comprehension Heaven-Defying, Understanding Eight Gate Escape At The Beginning

On a forest path.

"Arlong!!! Arlong!!! Arlong!!! Arlong!!!..."

A beautiful figure ran wildly along the forest path, repeating the word "Arlong" in a deep voice with an extremely angry and resentful tone.

She clenched her teeth, and there were two long tear tracks on her face. The tears that kept flowing out of the corners of her eyes were blown behind her by the wind as she galloped. The middle of her pupils had turned pale because of the extreme anger, as if they had lost focus.

"Do you want me to give the village back so badly, little girl?"

"Okay! Save up 100 million beli and bring it to me."

"In this case, I will liberate the village and give you your freedom, really."

"It doesn't matter how many years it takes, I will keep my promise!!!"

In his mind, he kept recalling the scene when Arlong made a promise to him.

Just when he was about to achieve this goal, the money he had saved for eight years was taken away so casually.

That promise is as worthless as toilet paper.

And she herself looked so naive and stupid.

Thinking all these things in his mind, Nami's anger was ignited to the extreme.

When he saw the entrance of a building as tall as a pagoda appearing in front of him, the suppressed anger in Nami's heart completely broke out at this moment, and he let out a hysterical roar that echoed through the sky.

"Arlong!!!"

Within the Arlong Empire.

Arlong is sitting by the swimming pool, enjoying wine and sunbathing.

Suddenly he heard a scream that shook the sky, and turned around to look, and saw the woman with clenched fists and a terrifyingly gloomy face walking towards him step by step with extremely heavy steps.

The corner of Arlong's mouth curled up, with a playful look in his eyes, and he pretended to be confused.

"Oh?! What's wrong? My excellent surveyor!! His face has changed..."

Nami lowered his head, walked to Arlong step by step, and murmured in a low voice.

"It's you......"

Suddenly, Nami suddenly raised his head, stared at Arlong with eyes that were so angry that they lost focus, and said angrily.

"...Did you instruct those Marines to steal my money?!!!"

Looking at the fish-man in front of him with a smile on his face and a delicate expression, Nami burst out suddenly, tears rushing out of his eyes like a fountain.

She grabbed Arlong's collar with both hands, pulled and shook it wildly, crying and questioning angrily.

"What exactly is going on?"

"Didn't you say that you would swear to abide by the agreement based on money?"

Arlong looked sideways at Nami beside him, showing a confused and innocent look, and said doubtfully.

"Huh? Comply..."

"When did I break our agreement?"

Nami continued to tear at Arlong's collar and responded angrily.

"Stop pretending, you let those Marines take my money..."

"......Well!!!"

Halfway through her words, Nami's face was suddenly pinched tightly by Arlong's huge fish-man palm, making her speechless.

At this time, she saw Arlong suddenly frown, his eyes instantly filled with bloodshot eyes due to anger, and he opened his mouth with fangs as sharp as sawtooths and asked in a deep voice.

"When did I... break the promise? Tell me!!!"

Nami's eyes were full of fear and anger, but she was pinched by Arlong's powerful hands like iron pincers, unable to resist or respond.

"Ha ha ha ha......"

Arlong looked up to the sky and laughed, and changed his hands from Nami's face, which was controlled at will like a quail, to strangle her neck.

The agreement between him and Nami was to purchase the village with 100 million beli.

Nami gives him money and he liberates the village. This is the agreement.

He doesn’t recognize anything else!

Arlong continued to act innocent and said.

"Did you say Marine took your money? That's really unlucky!"

"But a deal is a deal."

"If you can't prepare 100 million beli in front of me, I can't return the village!"

"Ha ha ha ha......"

Arlong looked up to the sky and laughed again.

But Nami, who was strangled by Arlong, was unable to resist at all, and the tears on her face had not stopped since just now.

Looking at Arlong who looked up to the sky and laughed as if he was in charge of everything, Nami could only curse weakly and sadly.

"Despicable! Shameless!!"

Arlong didn't mind Nami's weak abuse and laughed.

"Ha ha ha ha......"

"It's just 100 million Baileys! Why don't you save it again!!!"

Suddenly, Arlong stopped smiling, turned to look at Nami, grabbed her collar and lifted her up, with an angry expression and a threatening tone.

"Or...you want to escape from here?"

"But don't forget, by that time, all the villagers in Cocosia Village will... all die because of you!"

When she heard Arlong mentioning the villagers of Cocosia Village, Nami suddenly thought of something.

When she was having dinner with Nokigao, she mentioned that the villagers still hated her and did not want to get close to her.

At that time, Noqigao looked very conflicted. In the end, he couldn't bear to see her misunderstanding all the time, so he told her that the villagers had long known about her saving money to buy the village.

People don't want to get close to her just because they don't want her to know and bring pressure to her.

And now, the villagers must have known that she came to the Arlong Empire alone to find Arlong.

In this case, will everyone do impulsive things in a moment of excitement?

The more Nami thought about it, the more worried she became. The villagers were no match for Arlong and his gang. She had to go back quickly to stop everyone.

Nami forcefully pushed away Arlong's hand holding her collar, and then ran outside Arlong's empire without looking back.

"Nogigao, Ajian, everyone, please don't be impulsive!"

"You must not die, otherwise everything will be over."

"Isn't it just 100 million Baileys? I'll just save more."

"If everyone dies, it's really all over."

Nami cried and shouted in her heart, praying that the villagers would not be impulsive.

However, what made her heart suddenly sink like a stone was when she saw a large group of villagers holding shovels and clubs at the entrance of the Arlong Empire.

Nami suddenly panicked. If the villagers broke in, everything would be over.

She immediately raised her arms, wiped the tears from her eyes, and then squeezed out a sunny and happy smile.

He quickly came to the group of people and said in a relaxed tone.

"Everyone wait a minute!!!"

"Wait a little longer and I'll try again."

"Huhu..."

"It's actually not difficult to save 100 million Beli. I'm already very experienced."

"This time, I will definitely be able to save enough soon."

"At that time, the village and everyone will..."

Before the word "liberation" could be uttered, Nami was suddenly startled and saw the familiar straw hat behind Nokigao.

"Nami!!!"

I heard a sound so low that it seemed to be suffocating.

Then, Nami saw the straw hat behind Nogi Gao slowly move and come to her.

Nami stared blankly at the familiar man in front of her, and then she saw him raising his hand and wiping away the tears that had not been wiped from the corners of her eyes.

For a moment, the grievance in Nami's heart seemed to be suddenly unable to be suppressed, and tears burst out of her eyes crazily.

Her body, which was pretending to be strong, seemed to have completely lost its strength at this moment. Her whole body went limp and she squatted on the ground.

She looked up and stood under the sun, but her face was obscured by the straw hat, and choked with sobs in a voice of extreme helplessness and begging.

"Road...Luffy..."

"......help me!!!"
