25 I Am Your Navigator!

Kill them all, don't leave anyone alive!

This bloody statement sent a chill through everyone present.

As the overall commander of this operation, Luffy scanned the expressions of the crowd and spoke again:

"Don't think that any of the fishmen are innocent and don't deserve this. There is no such thing."

"The Arlong Pirates, as a whole, are led by Arlong, and his crimes are unforgivable. To say that other fishmen have reasons for their actions is a joke."

"This pirate crew came from the Grand Line to the East Blue eight years ago and has since occupied over 20 villages, with even more towns destroyed."

"They rule everything around them with force, collecting a head tax of 50,000 for children and 100,000 for adults per month. The number of people killed for not being able to pay the tax is countless."

"There is no innocent fishman among these despicable pirates!"

At this point, Luffy looked at Nami.

Nami closed her eyes and after a moment, opened them again, saying seriously, "I was a little naive just now, I'm sorry.

Now let me say it again, please help me, help me eliminate the Arlong Pirates!"

Her tone became resolute.

Zoro grinned, "No need to ask, aren't we comrades?"

"Yeah, Zoro is right!"

"Nami, we will save your hometown!"

Johnny and Yosaku also firmly agreed.

Luffy took a sip of tea and chuckled, "This is all for justice!"

"...It sounds strange coming from your mouth!" Usopp couldn't help but comment.

Captain Ripper nodded solemnly, "Luffy Sama is right, this is all for justice!"

"Hey, is it appropriate to say this with a group of pirates?" Usopp's mouth twitched.

"Hahaha."

Captain Ripper laughed, "I don't think you guys are pirates. If all pirates were like Luffy Sama and you guys, what difference would it make if the whole world became pirates?"

Clap clap clap.

Luffy clapped his hands, attracting everyone's attention.

"After confirming the operational objectives, next is the specific operational plan."

At this moment, Nami raised her hand to signal.

"Luffy, I have a way to gather all the fishmen."

"Are you sure?"

Nami looked at him gently, smiling, "After all, this is about my hometown, I want to contribute! And don't underestimate me, Luffy, I am your navigator!"

...

Shortly after.

Everyone gathered at the bow of the warship, watching the Going Merry leave the fleet and head toward the Arlong Pirates' stronghold.

"Luffy Sama, are you really okay with leaving it to Nami?" Captain Ripper asked with a hint of worry.

"Don't worry."

That woman has mastered two techniques of the six styles. If there's any danger, those bunch of rotten fish and shrimp won't be able to stop Nami.

Luffy wasn't worried at all.

"Let's go, let's go to Cocoyasi Village first."

"Yes!"

...

Arlong Park.

The Arlong Pirates' stronghold.

Nami stood at the entrance of the main gate, feeling a mix of emotions.

She recalled her childhood, the time she spent with her mother and sister.

Despite the poverty and sometimes having to survive on just oranges, those were warm and beautiful times.

But this beauty was shattered with the arrival of the fishmen. Her mother, Bellemere, was shot and killed by Arlong because she couldn't pay the tax.

Everyone in the village suffered, and many people died.

As for herself, she was valued by Arlong because of her talent for drawing sea charts.

And so, an agreement was made.

When she collected a bounty of 100 million berries, she could buy Cocoyasi Village back from the Arlong Pirates.

She became a "thief" in the eyes of some people, and a "traitor" in the eyes of those who didn't know the truth.

She became a thief.

Eight years had passed.

Looking up at Arlong Park once again, a pirate flag hung at the top.

"It will be over soon!"

Nami calmed her mind and pushed open the door, walking inside.

What came into view was an open-air pool.

There were many fishmen around the pool, either standing or sitting.

And the captain of the Arlong Pirates, fishman Arlong, was sitting on a sun chair, leisurely enjoying the sunlight.

"Isn't this our navigator miss Nami? Back already?" Arlong was the first to notice Nami and smiled, revealing a row of sharp teeth. "How was the haul this time? Looks like you're carrying a big package."

Disgusting!

As soon as the words "navigator" came out of Arlong's mouth, Nami felt disgusted to the extreme.

She approached without saying a word and threw the package she was carrying on the ground.

"I've gathered 100 million berries!"

"What!?"

Arlong's expression suddenly changed. "That's impossible!"

"What's impossible?" Nami stared coldly.

["How much money you stole each time you came back, how much you've stolen up until today, I know it all very clearly..."]

Arlong stared at Nami and then looked at the package on the ground.

Judging by its size, it indeed contained a hundred million.

"According to the agreement, Cocoyasi Village is free from now on!" Nami said.

This was truly an unexpected turn of events.

Arlong remained silent for a moment, then suddenly burst into laughter. "Hahaha, let's check it then, Nami. I am a man who always keeps his promises!"

Saying that he gestured to a nearby fishman.

Receiving the boss's order, the fishman walked towards the package, pushing Nami aside.

"Move, Nami."

However, just as his hand was about to touch Nami, a slender leg suddenly kicked out.

Tempest Kick!

A swift kicking technique, creating a vacuum slash.

Plop!

A long wound tore open on the fishman's chest, and he flew backward in a scream.

The surrounding fishmen were all shocked.

"What was that just now?"

"I... I didn't see clearly, did this woman kick Pisaro away with one kick?"

"His chest is bleeding!"

The fishmen were filled with doubt and astonishment.

Even Arlong's pupils contracted. When did Nami acquire this kind of fighting power?

Is this a move that humans can use?

Others couldn't see clearly, but he could see it.

It was a slashing kick!

"Nami, what are you doing?" Arlong's face turned ugly as he questioned.

"Don't touch my money so casually." Nami stood with one hand on her hip, full of momentum. "This agreement needs to be witnessed by everyone. If you go back on your word, you will lose all your dignity in front of your subordinates. I don't trust you, Arlong!"

Hearing this, Arlong sneered inwardly. Naive humans.

They have no idea how united fishmen are!

Even if he were to publicly go back on his word in front of everyone, so what?

As the captain of the Arlong Pirates, he would never lose his prestige, because they are fishmen, fishmen enslaved by humans.

"I see, it's only natural for you to have such concerns. In that case, let's wait until everyone is present to witness this agreement made eight years ago." Arlong laughed heartily. "Hachi."

"What's the matter, Arlong?"

An octopus fishman emerged from the pool.

"Go and notify the people outside to gather. We should prepare for a grand celebration! After all, this is a hundred million berries, hahaha..."

Amidst the wild laughter, Arlong stood up and returned to the house.

His face instantly darkened.

"Something's not right. Nami's money couldn't have been gathered so quickly."

Thinking this, he picked up a Den Den Mushi and dialed a number.

"It's me. We have a big deal to discuss!"
