P S M Chapter 40: Nami's Shock.

 

"But in the future, Nami won't have to work as hard as it and she will not have to try to earn the 100 million Bellys unnecessarily for the redemption costs of our village." Said the uncle who was sweeping with a smile on his face shocking Nami.

"Well, how did you know about this?" Nami trembled and asked him with some doubts in her mind.

"Ah, we all know it!" The aunt who was sweeping on the other side of the street answered her question. Then Nami had noticed that all villagers said the same thing: "Yes, we all know."

"How do you all know that?"

"Since the day you have joined the Arlong Pirates group and planned to redeem the village for us, we have all known. Just to avoid the attention of the Arlong Pirates group, we all pretended not to know. What you have done for the village everyone knew it, and in order to wait for that day, everyone was working hard to survive, even if everyone knew that this hope is very slim, with Arlong’s bad personality, even if you give him 100 million Bellys, we do not think that he leaves us free." The uncle who was sweeping said with emotion.

Upon hearing the words of the uncle who was sweeping, Nami's tears had filled her eyes instantly, and her accumulated grievances over the years seemed to burst out all at once.

Seeing Nami's tearful eyes, the aunt who was sweeping stepped forward and hugged her into her arms patted her shoulder, and said distressedly: "These years, I have really suffered for you, my child."

Nami, who was embraced by this aunt, couldn't help crying, but after all, she was strong. After crying for a while, she broke free from the aunt's arms and said seriously to the villagers who had formed a circle around her, "Don’t worry, everyone, wait for me to earn 100 million Bellys. I will redeem Cocoyasi Village from Arlong's hands, and we have made a deal Arlong and me."

Hearing Nami’s serious words, Aunt Mummy Mee, who was her neighbor, couldn’t help rubbing Nami’s head with her hands: "You kid, you don’t have to worry for us anymore, and you don’t have to earn the 100 million Bellys. It's finished now because Arlong is dead and the Dragon Pirate group has perished. You don't have to deal with the Murlocs of the Dragon Pirate group."

"What? Arlong is dead, and the Arlong Pirate group is destroyed? How is this possible? Are you kidding me and want to be making me happy?" Nami looked at the news of Arlong's death as unbelievable.

We should know that Nami who worked for the Dragon Pirate group knew the strength of Arlong's team very well. As the leader of the Arlong Pirate group, Arlong was the highest rewarded pirate in the entire East Blue Sea, and he also had those huge sea beasts who even the nearby naval base had nothing to do with them and they had even turned a blind eye to Arlong and his Murlocs. So, how could Arlong with such a strong ability die so easily?

But seeing everyone with serious faces and no lie, Nami was confused.

"Let’s go, I will take you to see Arlong Park now, otherwise you can’t believe it. You must know I had made the same reaction as you at the beginning, and I didn't believe it is true." Genzo came from behind the old man who was sweeping and had said this to Nami.

"Okay, everyone is busy, let me explain it to Nami!" Genzo dispelled the villagers in the besieged city, and took the torch, and walked to Arlong's Park with the confused Nami.

••••••

When Genzo had led Nami to Arlong's Park, the sky was completely dark, and Arlong Park, which was brightly lit in the past, was now quiet, and there was a breath of lifelessness in the dark night.

Although she had a certain amount of preparation in her heart, when she had really seen the dilapidated Arlong Park, Nami couldn't help but shrink her eyes, staring at everything in front of her in shock.

The current Arlong's Park had changed a lot from what she remembered. A lot of things in this place were gone. The most notable change was the open space in the middle of the property where all recreational facilities were previously placed, was lost, and there were coffins next to each other on this densely packed open space, and there was a faint smell of rot that constantly wafted.

If courageous people came to see this scene at this time, they would probably be scared and cry.

"Ahhhh, I didn't expect it to stink so soon, it seems that I will call someone over tomorrow to bury these corpses, otherwise it will be bad if something happens?" Genzo had made a slight sign of annoyance, as he rubbed his forehead.

"Genzo, these are all the Murlocs of the Arlong Pirates group?" Nami asked solemnly.

"Yeah, these are the corpses of the Arlong Pirate group. Arlong's corpse is in the front coffin." After speaking, Genzo took Nami to the front coffin and opened it, with the light from the torch held by him, Nami could see the contents of the coffin, which was a headless corpse, even if the corpse did not have a head, Nami could definitely recognize the identity of this corpse, yes, this was Arlong's corpse.

"He's really dead, so is our nightmare finally over?" Nami thought in confusion.

It had taken a while for Nami to react. After thinking for a while, she had felt happy and excited and couldn't help holding Genzo and jumping up happily like a child who had not grown up, after all, no matter how strong she was, she was still a child 13 or 14-year-old!

After the excitement, Nami slowly calmed down and began to ask Genzo: "Genzo, what the hell, what happened!"

Genzo had looked around the gloomy surroundings and said to Nami a little awkwardly: "Let's return to the village and talk while walking. It always bad to stay here for a long time!"

Looking at the gloomy environment and the scattered coffins, Nami couldn't help but shiver with a breeze. She had immediately agreed to Genzo's proposal and walked out first.

After Genzo followed her and walked out of Arlong's Park, he looked back at the gloomy domain and thought: "It seems that I will bring someone here early tomorrow to take care of these corpses, otherwise I will panic. This realm should not be haunted. Well, we'll cremate these bodies tomorrow. We must not be worry if we burn them and don't bury them, like that they won't take up space.

Genzo had decided so, while holding the torch, and had quickly left Arlong's domain with Nami. There was only a ghastly Arlong Park left as if he was telling the glory of the past.

••••••

The destruction process of the Dragon Pirate group was not complicated. 

When Nami and Genso had come to Nojiko's tangerine orchard, Genzo had already recounted the cause, process, and results of the incident to Nami.

"What? You say that the pirate hunter had killed Arlong's gang because Nojiko had invited him to lunch, and Nojiko actually had gone to the sea directly with this pirate hunter. Do not tell me that!"
