Chapter 83: By What Right!
"Nami, to be honest, our crew's need for a navigator isn't that urgent. Let's not even mention that Mihawk was a lone wolf who roamed the Grand Line for a long time before joining us. Even I, during the era when the Pirate King Roger roamed the seas, had already traveled everywhere with them. Your navigation skills might be impressive for your age, but to us, they're honestly not useful. There's one more thing: you're too weak," Buggy said with an easygoing expression.
But the more easygoing his expression, the more his words hurt.
Looking at the easygoing Buggy, tears started to drip down Nami's face, one after another.
"I won't join you anymore, but can I beg you? I beg you to save my village." Once the dam of tears broke, the flow couldn't be stopped. Sobbing, Nami poured out all the sad stories she had kept bottled up.
Although he had known about Nami's situation from the beginning, hearing it again made even Buggy's nose feel a little tingly.
If even Buggy felt this way, then among the people on the ship, aside from Mihawk and Law, the others were either glaring angrily or shedding tears along with her.
"Captain, I want to help her." Although his expression didn't change much, Law took the initiative to speak.
This was not surprising. Having his family die in front of him was already tragic enough, but having to work for the enemy on top of that—this background resonated with Law. After learning that Nami's situation was even more tragic than his own, it was not strange at all for him to offer his help.
With even Law speaking up, Buggy naturally couldn't say much more and just nodded.
"Thank you, really, thank you."
After saying her thanks, Nami was pulled into the kitchen by Betty, who made a delicious meal for her.
Feeling the warmth the food brought to her body, Nami began to cry again.
"Alright, don't cry anymore. We were already heading to Arlong Park to find trouble with Arlong anyway, so there's no need for thanks. We are pirates, pirates who do as we please. We can destroy several countries for a comrade's revenge, and we can also dig a tunnel for several years just to become famous. So you don't need to thank us for anything."
"Then why are you looking for trouble with Arlong? He's very strong," everyone was curious about the first half of Nami's sentence. As for the second half, not a single person agreed.
"Eight years ago, the fish-man Fisher Tiger caused a great disturbance at the Holy Land Mary Geoise and made a significant contribution to freeing the slaves. Although he was a fish-man, and in the end, he died because he hated humans and refused to accept human blood, I still admire him from the bottom of my heart. It is precisely because of this that I cannot tolerate Arlong, who was once his comrade, an overconfident fish-man who actually dares to dream of enslaving humans. He's simply courting death. I was busy excavating the tunnel before and didn't pay attention to matters in the East Blue, so I didn't know of this guy's existence. Now that I know, how can I tolerate his continued existence? As for him being very strong,呵呵 (hehe)."
"Oh, so that's how it is. In that case, Captain, can I make a move too? I'd also really like to teach a guy like that how to behave," Hawkins, having trained hard for half a year, also wanted to show off the results of his training.
"Hawkins, you bastard, I've already taken this matter. If you dare to interfere and disturb me, I swear I won't let you off. You'd better think carefully. Your substitution ability is completely useless against me," Law said to Hawkins, his tone chilling.
"Captain, I suddenly feel that my training is not yet sufficient. I think I'll train for a while longer." Threatened by Law, Hawkins immediately softened, because he really didn't want to experience having his nose where his buttocks should be again.
A day later, looking at the building in the distance with a shark's head on top and the large words "Arlong Park," Buggy knew he had arrived at his destination.
As the "Thor" slowly approached Arlong Park, a sea cow suddenly emerged from the sea. On the sea cow's head stood an octopus man with eight arms.
"Nyuu, who are you people? What do you want by coming to Arlong Park? Huh, isn't that Nami? Why are you on this ship?" Looking down on Buggy's group, Octopus Hatchan asked with his arms crossed.
"Captain, can I cut this guy down? I can't stand it anymore," with a look of disgust, Law, who had just walked out of the cabin, came up behind Buggy and asked.
"This fish-man is the only one in Arlong Park who can't be killed. Hancock, go and capture this sea cow. That way, we won't have to temporarily catch a sea beast when we go to Fish-Man Island in the future," Buggy shook his head at Law; he couldn't possibly agree to his proposal.
"Got it, Brother Buggy." After speaking, Hancock flashed and disappeared from her spot, then appeared beside Mohmoo the Sea Cow. She placed a hand on Mohmoo, and in the next second, the huge sea cow suddenly vanished, leaving only a half-man-sized sea cow doll toy.
Feeling the ground suddenly disappear beneath his feet, Hatchan, who was falling from the air, saw Hancock and the sea cow toy she was holding. Although he couldn't remember Mohmoo the Sea Cow now, it didn't stop him from recognizing Hancock's identity.
"Nyuu, you're the Toy Empress, Boa Hancock of the Red Nose Pirates!" After speaking, Hatchan fell into the sea.
A fish-man is a fish-man, after all. For an ordinary person, falling into the sea would be a troublesome matter regardless of whether they could swim. But fish-men were different. Less than fifteen seconds after falling into the sea, Hatchan had already appeared inside Arlong Park.
"Nyuu! Arlong, this is bad! The great pirate Buggy has brought his Red Nose Pirates to the main gate!" A rough voice immediately rang out inside Arlong Park.
And it was only after Hatchan's voice rang out that Hancock prepared to return to the deck, having established a contract with the Mohmoo toy.
A few seconds later, the water gate of Arlong Park opened, and Arlong stood on the shore with a group of fish-men.
"Pirate Buggy, what business do you and your Red Nose Pirates have here?" The grim-faced Arlong's expression became even darker when he saw Nami at the bow of the ship.
"Fish-man Arlong, I've come here to ask you just one question: By what right?" Buggy replied with a calm expression.
"By what right, what?" Arlong didn't quite understand Buggy's question.
"By what right do you, a mere fish-man, enslave us humans? Just because you're a bit stronger than ordinary people, you dare to be so presumptuous? And your talk of fish-men being superior to humans... you truly have no respect for the strong, do you? Even the Warlord Jinbe wouldn't dare make such arrogant claims. By what right do you?"
Buggy had two main issues with Arlong. The first was that a mere fish-man dared to enslave humans. The second was that damn "fish-men are superior" rhetoric.
"So you're here to pick a fight?" His face as dark as water, Arlong's body began to accumulate power, a sign that he was preparing to make a move.
