In response, Take fearful nodded his head before quickly grabbing the contract and pen with his shaking hands and signing it without looking at its contents.

"Finally," Leo muttered as he felt some sort of shackles had been released from his being.

"C-can I leave n-now?" Take asked with a fearful expression on his face.

"Oh yeah, sure, but do you need any help getting to the sea?" Leo asked with a gentle smile on his face.

"Ouch!" Take simply wants to refuse him and get off of this island as soon as possible. Still, after trying to stand up and only feeling pain in his lower half, he realizes that his legs are broken, and now he can't walk or swim.

"Yes, can you please take me to the seashore?" Take was hopeful after seeing that Leo had no intention of breaking his promise of sparing his life.

"Zoro, could you do me a favor and take him to the shore?" Leo asked with a mischievous glint in his eyes.

"Yes, sure," Zoro replied before walking toward them, and just grabbed one of Take's broken legs and started to drag him into... the forest.

After seeing Zoro drag the fishmen like trash that he was tasked with throwing out, Leo sent two separate messages to Rindou and Levi.

By telling Rindou that Arlong is dead and their work here is almost complete, she can convey the message to Nami and the villagers that their nightmares are over.

As for Levi, hehehe, he just has to make sure that those two fishes cannot escape alive.

"Now let's see what treasure they have," Leo muttered to himself while entering the only building in Arlong Park.

.

After spotting himself being dragged in the opposite direction of the sea, Take said, "Wait, ouch, wait for that, ouch, the wrong direction."

But Zoro paid him no heed and continued walking on a bumpy road inside the forest with complete confidence while drinking without care.

"And can ouch you please stop ouch dragging me ouch by my feet? Please stop." Take pleaded while bumping into a few rocks on the road as they approached the same surrounding that they'd already been to several times.

"We are, ouch, moving in the circle ouch, can't you take my suggestion and go in that direction, ouch no, not that direction." Take shouted in desperation as Zoro started moving in the opposite direction.

.

After some time, and clearing the treasure of Arlong Pirates, Leo entered Nami's house.

After not seeing her green-haired vice-captain with Leo as he entered the house, Carina asked, "Where is Zoro, Captain?"

"Well, he still has a mission he has to complete," Leo said while chuckling lightly.

And now the whole crew barring Zoro and Levi (for obvious reasons), were relaxing at Nami's house. At the same time, Rindou took it upon herself to create a delicious lunch for them, with Nojiko insisting on helping her with cooking.

Right now, he is certain Zoro is lost somewhere on this island, trying to find his way to the shore.

"But I saw Zoro some time ago in the village, and he was dragging a dead fishmen's body with him," Nami asked curiously.

"Well, that's his task. He just has to drag him to the seashore." Leo replied in a calm voice while looking at the mission progress.

'Just two more to follow.' Leo thought while looking at the number of Arlong members alive.

'Let's just hope that stupid fishmen can do his part.' Leo thought before looking at the bonus objective.

'I also have to handle that mouse Nezumi before he comes here after hearing Arlong's defeat and then tries to claim credit for defeating him. Thus, I should deal with him before he causes some problems for me and this village. However, what should I do with him?'

"The lunch is ready." Rindou voiced from the kitchen as she and Nojiko carried the food to the dining table.

'Well, I will think about that later.' Leo thought as he moved toward the dining room with a smile on his face, 'Tasty food, here I come.'

.

He doesn't know why he is tormented like that.

Sure he has killed some people, and raided or destroyed some villages, and even tortured some humans lightly on a weekly basis. That's it... or at least that's all he can remember at this moment.

He deserves some punishment for all the horrible things he has done. However, he did not think he deserved this. To have his legs broken in such an abysmal way that even moving one of them for a few seconds caused immense pain and then to be dragged for almost two hours by this directionless teenager who was rooming in the same area of this forest without even listening to his suggestions.

'At this rate, I will surely die before we even reach the shore.' As for the last time, he tried to point this green-haired bastard in the right direction.

"You just cough, move in that direction." Take muttered weakly, pointing his finger to his left.

But Zoro is not hearing any of it and just snaps at him.

"Can you be quiet for a second? I am trying to find the right direction here." Zoro said in irritation while looking at the half-filled bottle in one hand while the other held his crew card. He is almost out of booze but still needs to find the seashore.

'I know Levi has some on his card, but he is in the sea... wait, the sea.' Zoro thought before quickly looking for Levi's location on his card.

'Yes, now I just have to follow this.' Zoro thought before moving deeper into the forest while dragging the almost-dead Take, who now just had one thought in his mind.

'Will I ever be able to see the sea again?'

.

"Why the heck, he is traveling in that direction," Zoro muttered as he finally reached the seashore after almost three hours of journey.

But the crew card shows Levi is at the island's opposite end.

Zoro simply shook his head at those thoughts before lightly kicking the fishmen to wake him up. "Hey, wake up. We have already reached the shore."

As he gazed at the blue ocean, the half-dead fishmen stuttered, "Really?"

"Can you please put me near the water?" Take asked as the will to live reemerged in him after seeing the sea.

Zoro just grabs his leg and throws him near the water before calling Leo.

"I know, and Levi will reach your location in a few minutes." Leo's voice came from the card after hearing Zoro tell him that they had reached the shore.

Whooee-uueet

Zoro looked in the direction of the whistle and saw Take whistling in a specific manner.

"What are you doing there?" Zoro asked while walking near him.

"This." Take started with some hesitation, but after thinking that this green hair bastard would certainly attack Momoo when she came here.

"This is something we all use to communicate with our crew pet." Take replied, looking out at sea.
