Chapter 35 Xin’S Little Surprise And The Arlong Pirates
"By the way, here are some little surprises for everyone!"
After discussing the business, Xin suddenly remembered that he had packed some things last night, returned to the dormitory, and took out a package.
"During the banquet last night, I used Shadow Clone to search the bottom of the sea."
With that said, the letter opened the package, revealing a golden light:
"There should be a lot that can't be found, but as expected of Creek, there are about six million!"
Last night, while everyone was having a banquet, Confidence began to worry about his empty treasury, and he separated out a few Shadow Clone to make plans for the treasure.
Ignoring Nami's eyes turning into Bailey, Xin told everyone about the arrangement of this part of the treasure:
"I am going to give one million to Johnny and Joseph. They have been working hard to guard the ship and guard the ship these days, which is also very hard."
This is something that Xin had planned for a long time. In the past few days, everyone went to Barati for dinner, and both of them stayed on the ship and guarded the ship conscientiously. They couldn't let others work in vain.
Seeing that no one objected, Xin took out part of the treasure and gave the rest to Nami. After all, she was the only one on the ship who was suitable for managing money.
Zoro has no idea about money. It is said that he used three million bandit heads in exchange for a bowl of fried rice.
Sanji probably wouldn't give Zoro a dime after receiving the money. Not long after they boarded the ship, they became very uncomfortable with each other.
As for Usopp and Luffy? Who knows what weird things they will buy. I heard Luffy say that he wanted to buy a bronze statue before, but he didn’t know what it would be used for.
Xin didn't want to take care of these chores. If he had free time, he would like to study more compound ninjutsu. Of course, he still secretly kept a lot of money for personal use.
Nami took the package with excitement and immediately got into the treasure pile. 100 million beli was enough, but her nature of loving money has not changed.
...
It was already the morning of the next day, and everyone finally saw Nami's hometown, the Golome Islands. There is more than one village in Cocoa West. According to Nami, Arlong rules twenty nearby villages and towns.
This also means that everyone is approaching Arlong's territory. Two patrolling murlocs have discovered the Meili on the sea. They always sabotage passing ships.
Unfortunately, they met their opponents this time. The two people who got into the water were about to destroy the bottom of the boat and bring the battlefield to the water they were familiar with, but they saw a hedgehog head waiting for them here.
"Magic Narakumi Technique"
"Ah! No! I will never resist again!!"
It sounds like the thing they fear most is a certain ruler. They grabbed two fishmen and returned to the ship, handing them over to Nami for identification.
One of them has long black hair, pink fins on the back of its head, a hooked nose, red lips, fangs, and a lying silkworm. There is a tattoo of the word "love" on his forehead and an arrow tattoo on his chest. He is wearing a purple-blue flowered shirt with green cuffs and a blue belt around his waist. He is a carp fish man and is the friendship captain of Arlong's group, Awen. .
The other one was carrying a wine gourd and had pink skin, fins on his head, and wavy brown hair. There is a black wave tattoo on his forehead. Wearing a dark green top with a red flower pattern on it, a blue loincloth, trousers and sandals, with obvious hair on his hands, Salmon Fish Man is the banquet minister of Arlong's group, Shioyaki.
"This is the fish-man, he's so ugly!"
The two murlocs on the deck were screaming, and Luffy curiously squatted beside them and poked them.
"Indeed, I have no desire to cook it at all!"
Sanji also looked at it curiously, but after seeing the real thing, he gave up cooking fish-men cuisine completely.
Seeing the ugly appearance of the fish-men who used to be so powerful in the past, Nami also put down some of her fear of the fish-men, but her disgust remained unabated and she looked at the two fish fiercely.
"Now there is no need for Nami to put herself in danger!"
Xin was very satisfied with the two murlocs who suddenly appeared. Originally, he thought about using the Transformation Technique to transform into Nami to meet Arlong. He was also worried that a man pretending to be a woman would be a little uncomfortable with being seen through. This time, it was better. Although the species were different, But the gender is the same anyway.
...
Arlong's gang has ruled twenty villages for eight years. Naturally, many people have escaped to report this place. Just now, they have just eliminated a wave of Marines who came to look for trouble.
I also met a parallel-imported Commodore, the pudding pudding Commodore. Even the branch Commodore, who was still at the general level after all, was treated with a blister casually.
"Hahaha, we are noble fishmen, just humans, even a Commodore is nothing more than that!!"
In Arlong's Paradise, Arlong was laughing after hearing this, and this incident further stimulated his fish-human supremacy mentality.
But he is not an idiot. He knows that there are countless strong people among humans. In order to avoid being discovered by the more powerful Marine, he still has to have a good relationship with the people in front of him.
"Zhizhizhi~ I have tried my best to cover it up for you. This matter is not my fault, Arlong."
Wearing a gray Marine robe with a hood on his head, what is noticeable are the two decorative ears on the top of his head and three rat-like beards.
The colonel of the 16th Marine branch, Mouse, is clearly a Marine, but he talks and laughs with the pirates. It is with his help that Arlong can rule stably for so long.
"Of course, we have been partners for so long!"
Snapped!
A stack of Baileys was slapped on the table. Arlong's voice also sounded:
"This is the money listed for this quarter, accept it!"
"Zhizhizhi! It's so generous, so I won't be polite!"
Colonel Mouse smiled happily when he saw the money and immediately collected it and stuffed it into his pocket.
"Then I'll say goodbye. If someone sees me here, I'll be in big trouble."
"Xiaoba! See off guests!"
There is a river in Arlong Paradise that connects directly to the sea. This is to facilitate the fish people's travel and fighting. The underwater is their home field.
An octopus man swam over from the sea holding a big jar. It was Xiaoba whom Arlong called:
"Nu~ Come up here, I'll give you an octopus jar!"
"Thank you very much."
Colonel Mouse and several of his men crowded into the octopus jar. Colonel Mouse, who had his back to the fishmen, also suppressed his smile:
"Dirty fish man!!"
Looking at Colonel Mouse's back, Arlong's face lost the smile just now and became more ferocious:
"Dirty humans!"
The two are not true partners, they are just using each other.
"Brother Arlong!! It's not good!!!"
Before Colonel Mouse had gone far, Shioyao and Arwen ran into the park, looking very panicked. Arlong was confused. These two fish were today's patrollers. Could it be that some powerful enemy had appeared?
"Yanshao, Awen, what happened?"
"Nami...she really collected 100 million beli!"
Shioyao was the first to speak, and Awen also added:
"She said to go home and take inventory first, and she will come to you with the money later!!"
"What!!! Did she really save enough!?"
Arlong was surprised. One hundred million beli was not a small amount, but he had no intention of actually keeping his promise. He couldn't let go of such a useful tool.
Thinking of Colonel Mouse who had just left, Arlong suddenly had a sinister idea in his mind. A sinister smile appeared on his face, and he turned to look at his other right-hand man:
"Crobio, you are the fastest in the water, go and chase Xiaoba and the others back;"
"Just say I have a great business here to talk to Colonel Mouse!"
