Ch 57 : End of Arlong's arc

I am a Rich Second Generation in One Piece Ch 57

Looking at Ao flying menacingly, even the marines had fear in their heart.

They had realized that today, they had kicked a really hard plate.

Yet, Colonel Nezu still has a contemplation on his heart. There was no way he would let such a fat sheep as Arlong go away this easily.

After all, he could hold into his position and live leisurely all this time because of Arlong's protection.

" You.. I don't know who you are. But let me tell you something. No matter how strong you are, you should know that the marines is one of the strongest forces in this world. Just you alone, and your small group. Do you think you guys could really stay under Marine's radar if I decided to report you to the Marine headquarter?"

Listening to Colonel Nezu's threats, Nami and Nojiko's faces grew grim a bit.

Indeed, even though Seth was strong, offending marine was still a thing that he should be careful about. The two looked at Seth, full of worries, waiting for his response.

Yet, unknown to everyone, Seth was actually laughing deep in his heart. Secretly, he uses his small denden Mushi to contact Tsuru and lets Tsuru listen to every conversation here.

" Then… what do you think I should do?"

Seth asked, pretending to agree to colonel Nezu's threat.

Colonel Nezu's face turned bright, and he immediately said:

" Haha, I know that you are at least reasonable. Well, first and foremost, you could release these Arlong.. No, I have a better idea. Let's bring them to Marine Headquarters, and let's rule the island together. After all, I have been ruling this town for years, and I promise you that the yearly income was not small."

Colonel Nezu then began to speak about how they should rule and oppress the town to maximize their own benefits.

All the words that made Nojiko and Nami almost shed tears.

Yet, Seth was all smiling. But it was not because he agreed to Nezu's proposal. It was because, from his Denden Mushi, he could already feel the anger that was actually from Tsuru.

" So, how about it? Should we…"

Colonel Nezu was saying excitedly. He thought he was going to get a stronger backup, but before he could even say anything, a voice had already come out from a weird snail.

" You… do you really think you could get away from this!???"

A female voice that carried a severe deterrence shocked the entire crowd, and along with this, the matter regarding Arlong and Colonel Nezu was easily solved.

. . . . . . . . .

A while later -

" And that's basically the whole story…"

Sitting near the Denden Mushi, Nami actually told all her misery so far to Tsuru.

The atmosphere turned silent for a while, and after a deep sigh, Tsuru said:

" Nami.. I'm sorry. I knew some of our Marines were corrupted, but I never imagined it would be this bad. To work together with pirates to oppress civilians, he never deserves to call himself a Marine. Rather… your mother Bellemere is a true Marine at heart. And you, you have done a really good job. Well done for holding on until now, Nami."

Listening to this, tears began to flow from Nami's eyes. This little affirmation has removed a massive burden from her heart. Especially when Tsuru even acknowledged Bellemere's sacrifice.

As Nami sobbed, Tsuru just stayed there and listened to her with a motherly expression.

A young girl like Nami trying to save her village by herself, it was a lie if Tsuru said she wasn't charmed by the justice in Nami's heart.

The two stayed like that for a while, and only after Nami finished letting go of her expression that Tsuru decide to say:

" By the way, Nami, how about coming to our headquarter and be a Marine? If you are concerned about your sister, you could even bring her to Marine headquarter. In our squad, everyone is like a family, and I promised that you and your sister would be welcomed here."

" Ahh…. I.."

Nami was struggling to finish her words. On one side, Tsuru's offer was really tempting, but on the other side…

Yet it seems it wasn't hard for Tsuru to see that Nami had already made her decision.

" Hahahaha.. it seems that you have already made your decision. Well, it is that little brat's luck to have a crew like you on his ship."

Tsuru laughed and didn't object to Nami's decision. After all, she also knew that after Nezu's case, Nami did have some trauma about marine, and she wouldn't force it.

Maybe being together with Seth would be the best for her.

The two then chatted for a while, before Tsuru eventually asked Nami to bring the Denden Mushi to Seth.

" Yo.. moshi moshi, Seseseseseth at your service! Let me be your sun to shine your day."

"....."

"....."

" *Sigh* Can't you be a bit serious? But let's just skip the formality and get to the main topic. Seth, we need you to return to Grand Line soon."

Tsuru said with a tired expression while holding her forehead.
