68 Help Me

"Hahahaha!!!! You're very fortunate but a promise is still a promise! If you can't give me 100 million Belly, I won't give Cocoyasi Village back to you! " Arlong grinned at Nami who had tears falling down her eyes.

"You bastard!!" Nami shouted while sobbing.

"But that's okay! It's only 100 million Belly! You can't collect it back anytime! Or do you want to escape from this island? But it will kill everyone in Cocoyasi Village, because of you." Arlong threatened her while grinning menacingly at her. Nami slapped his hand away and ran out of Arlong Park.

"So Nami!! Are you thinking about getting out of here!? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!"

" That's enough! Everyone! Let's get our weapons and fight!!" Genzo declared angrily.

'Please... Gen-san, everyone.... Please don't.... No one must die or else everything will end!! If you don't live, there will be nothing left!! ' Nami pleaded in her mind.

"WE WILL FIGHT!!!!!"

"8 years ago, we made a vow that as long as Nami was happy, we wouldn't give up our lives. Even though we would be under their control, we would be patient!! BUT THIS IS THEIR ANSWER!!! " Genzo shouted angrily while holding a cutlass.

The villagers of Cocoyasi Village were armed to the teeth. They were equipped with swords, spears and blunt weapons.

"There is no way they will let our village go! We don't have any hope left!! After all, they want to play with Nami's feelings!! We can't forgive those Fishers!!!! Anyone want to object?! " Genzo asked them.

" No one!! Let's kill those Fishers!! "

" We can't be under their control anymore!! "

" We've prepared to fight them for a long time!!!"

" FIGHT!!!"

" WAIT!!!"

Everyone looked at Nami who was panting. "Everyone! Please be patient! I will try to collect the money again, okay? It's not gonna be difficult this time! " Nami faked a smile at them. Genzo went up and hugged her. He also patted the back of her head while doing so.

" That's enough, Nami. You knew nothing was working! It must hurt to join them. But it's been a very good fight for you, the girl who always fights alone for us. You've fought good." Genzo muttered. Nami widened her eyes and she started crying again. Genzo released the hug and looked at her.

"You've done enough, Nami. Get off this island." Genzo muttered with a smile on his face.

"You are a very smart person. You also have your own dream to accomplish right?" Nojiko smiled at her younger sister. Nami suddenly took out a small knife.

"Everyone, don't go!! I don't want to see anyone get hurt by them!! If you go, you'll get killed!! " Nami shouted while pointing the knife at Genzo. Genzo looked back at her calmly.

"We know."

*PSSH!!*

Genzo gripped the blade of the knife tightly, his blood started flowing out of his palm and it soaked the knife.

"Nami...." Nojiko smiled sadly while having tears forming at the corner of her eyes.

"GET OUT OF OUR WAY, NAMIIII!!!!"

Nami gasped in shock after Genzo's scream. Genzo raised his cutlass up high and walked past her. The rest of the villagers followed suit.

"LET'S GO EVERYONE!!!! EVEN THOUGH WE CAN'T WIN, WE HAVE TO SHOW THEM OUR PRIDE!!!!!"

After Genzo's declaration, everyone was even more riled up. They marched straight towards Arlong Park without the thought of turning back.

Nami dropped her knife to the ground and got on both knees. She had a horrified expression on her face.

Arlong's evil cackling would be played in her mind again and again and again. Angry tears started flowing out of her eyes as Nami gritted her teeth.

She glared at Arlong's tattoo on her left shoulder with immense hatred in her eyes. She gripped that part of her skin where her tattoo was as tight as she could.

"Arlong!!" Nami growled angrily. She then grabbed the knife on the ground.

"ARLONG!! "

*SHIK!!*

Nami shouted angrily and stabbed her shoulder with the knife.

"ARLONG!!"

*SHIK!!!*

"ARLONG!!! ARLONG!!! ARLONG!!! ARLONG!!! ARLONG!!! ARLONG!!!"

Nami kept screaming wildly while endlessly stabbing her shoulder with the knife.

"Ar—

When Nami was about to raise her hand and stab herself again, someone stopped her out of nowhere. It was Luffy, and he wasn't happy at all.

Nami widened her eyes and looked back at him. "Luffy....." Nami whispered softly while looking at Luffy's stoic but enraged expression.

Luffy grabbed the bloodied knife from her and clenched it tightly. Nami looked down.

"What do you want? You don't know anything. You don't know what's been happening for the past eight years on this island."

" Yeah, I probably don't. " Luffy muttered back. Nami had a dark shadow covering her face while she gritted her teeth angrily.

" This is none of your business!! I told you to get off the island, didn't I?!" Nami shouted while gripping the sandy ground with her right hand tightly.

"Yeah, you did." Luffy whispered back. His usually cheerful voice was long gone by now. It was replaced with seriousness that no one had seen in a very long time.

"Go away!! You!! Go away!!" Nami shouted while splashing her sand filled hand at Luffy.

"Go away!! Go away!! Go away!! Go away!! Go away! Go away!! " Her shouting quickly turned into sobbing as Nami kept splashing sand at Luffy.

"Go away....." Nami sobbed silently as she stopped splashing sand at him. Blood was flowing down her left arm as she looked at the ground while trembling.

Nami covered her mouth with her right hand as she sobbed louder. Luffy was staring at her silently, waiting for Nami to say something while she cried.

Nami raised her head and looked back at him while her tears were flowing down her eyes uncontrollably.

"Luffy... Help me....."

Luffy remained silent as the straw hat covered the view to his eyes. Luffy grabbed it and gently put the straw hat on Nami's head.

Nami looked at Luffy with a surprised expression as he walked away. Luffy suddenly stopped and took a deep breath.

"YOU BET I WILL!!!!!!!!!!"

Luffy raised his hands and declared loudly while looking at the sky. His black eyes hardened.

Nami sniffed as more tears flowed down her eyes again. She then widened her eyes, remembering a conversation she had with him.

'Keep your hands off my treasure!' Was what Luffy said when she randomly asked about his straw hat one day. Nami started wailing loudly while touching the straw hat with her right hand.

"Luffy...."

She then looked at him again, she saw Zoro, Sanji and Usopp standing there, waiting for their captain.

Kaya knelt beside Nami and started bandaging her up. Zoro looked at Luffy who had an extremely serious gaze, something he had never seen on him in a while.

'I've never seen such a serious expression in my life!' Sanji thought in his mind while blowing out smoke from her cigarette.

Usopp gulped silently. 'Holy shit! That's so scary! ' Usopp thought while trembling a little.

"We're going...." Luffy whispered lowly sending shivers down their spine for some reason. They nodded back at him.

"Right!!"
