"So what else you do around here apart from saving little boys from dying." Luffy asked Nojiko.
She smiled at him and replied "Well mostly I just take care of the Tangerines."
"Don't you do anything else all day?" Luffy asked her.
"Well I like to make things and sometimes do woodwork around home and that's it." she added. 'Interesting Maybe she can take the place of Usopp in the crew.'
"Speaking of which I still don't know why you are here." Nojiko asked him curious why the guy had come to the island..
"Oh I came here because of Nami." Luffy told her.
She turned toward Luffy with a surprised face, "Nami?".
"Yeah she is a part of my crew." he replied.
Nojiko just sighed after hearing that and thought that Luffy was someone Nami stole from and that's why he came here. She then said "Maybe you don't know but Nami is.."
"I know! I know everything there is to know about Nami." He then got up and went towards a tale where a picture of a woman in a checkered shirt with red hair and had a really weird hairstyle with two kids and they were clearly Nami and Nojiko.
"I know you are her sister." Then he picked the picture "And I guess this is Bellemere."
Nojiko was really surprised to hear that and thought about how Luffy found out about it. Did Nami tell him but would she do that and what is their relationship if she even told him about Bellemere.
"Oh wait, I also forgot to mention that Nami is my girlfriend. Well one of them anyway" Luffy said casually.
Nojiko has never gotten so many surprises in her life as she was getting today. Nami having a boyfriend who is most likely a pirate is ridiculous to her and not only that but being in a relationship with a man who probably had even more girlfriends if what he was saying was the truth. But she realized that if Nami told him about Bellemere then it might be true.
After that they heard some commotion coming from the outside and went outside to check it. There they saw a few fishmen standing in a circle around an old man who was wearing some kind of military uniform Which Luffy recognized as Genzo. He was Nami's kind of Father figure. He then looked at the fishman standing right in front of him. He was quite big and muscular which Luffy didn't think much about as He had seen Humans as big as him. He had blue skin with an open yellow black shirt. And a red color sun mark on his chest. He also had sharp big nose and sharp teeth.
He was going on about how no one was allowed to have weapons and Genzo had them and it was rebelling against him and he destroyed all rebel's just like he destroyed Gosa village as a warning because how they failed to pay their tribute which was rebelling. He then went on about how he will make an empire of fishmen in the whole east blue with tribute given by them. It was quite hilarious, he didn't think he was not dead just because people didn't know about him. Or else why would someone like Kuro would hide as a butler if it was that easy he wasn't that much weaker then Arlong.
"In order to prevent anyone from rebelling I would have to kill you." Arlong said to Ganzo.
Nojiko then Ran to them and tried to argue with Arlong and all people also came out from their houses to argue against Arlong but he didn't pay any mind to them.
'Well it's a good thing I came ahead of the crew or Nami would have lost her father figure. But I should not kill Arlong without Nami not being there.' Luffy thought to himself.
He then took out a plank of wood and threw it at the hand of Arlong, which was holding Ganzo. The wood embedded in the hand of Arlong. He dropped Ganzo and looked toward the direction from which the wood came from. "So you are Arlong, You are a really ugly looking fish. Why are some fish acting so high and mighty?" Luffy said to Arlong by which he got enraged.
"Just a Human, What a low life human like you is trying to do to me?" Arlong yelled at Luffy.
"Why don't you come and find out who is a lowlife? I heard that ugly ass building called Arlong Park belongs to you. There also must be huge treasure there. I am going to take it if you can then try to stop me." He goaded Arlong.
He then slowly started to run towards the Arlong park with Arlong pirates following him. After some distance he vanished from their vision. After not seeing him they went toward the Arlong park even faster.
After some time all the Villagers were standing surrounding Ganzo who was receiving some medical assistance.
"Sorry for troubling you all." Ganzo said to everyone.
"What are you babbling about, it's not your fault." The doctor said.
"But who was that person just now?" a man asked.
"I am Monkey D. Luffy." The man heard from behind him. He turned to see Luffy standing behind Them. Everyone was stunned, they all thought when did He get here as none of them realized.
"Thank you, young man, for your help just now. But you should leave from here. If Arlong found out about you Being here He would come back to kill you." Ganzo said to him.
"Don't worry about it old man I am not worried about Arlong or anyone of them."
"But what are you doing here, you don't seem to be from this Island." Ganzo asked him.
"Oh, I just came to visit as it is Nami's village." Luffy replied to them.
After hearing Nami's name they all had an angry face, then one of them said "Boy if you are here because of her, I would suggest you get out of here. And stay away from her. She is a witch.." He stopped speaking when he saw the blade of a sword on his throat.
"Even though I know you are acting I would advise you to not say something like that about my girlfriend." Everyone was surprised, including Nojiko that he knew they were acting.
"Young Man, how did you find out that we are acting?" Ganzo asked him with a clear surprise in his voice.
"Because that was really bad acting." And he was telling the truth. He didn't even need to use his anime knowledge to see through their bad acting. He was surprised they were able to fool Nami. but then they had a more emotional connection with her, so fooling her was much easier.
Well anyway everyone is already here as he has sensed them coming much earlier. He looked down the road and the girls were walking toward them.
"Everyone! Long time no see..," Nami said, coming toward everyone. After seeing her all the villagers went inside their home and closed their gates.
Luffy as well as girls seeing that got really angry.
"Nami you don't use this main road often." Nojiko said to Nami. She also saw the girls coming with her. But thought that Nami will just tell her about them.
"Yeah It was time to change things." Nami replied.
"Everybody fucking get out of there house." Luffy yelled using Haki a little bit, intimidating them.
"Luffy don't." Nami said in a begging voice.
The villagers all came out.
"Don't worry they know everything and have been just acting." Luffy told her.
"Everyone…?" Nami asked with tears in her eyes.
Ganzo replied to her "When you joined Arlong, I couldn't believe it so I questioned Nojiko. From then on, everyone in the Village knew that in order to save this village you joined Arlong's gang. But we pretended not to know so that if you ever wanted to run away from Arlong our hope wouldn't pull you back into his gang."
"That's the stupidest thing I have ever heard. When she was a child and needed help instead of helping her you turned your back on her on some belief that if she wanted to run away you won't pull her back. And even if we say that your thinking was right, you should have realized after one or two years that she will not leave like that." Luffy said to them.
They just looked down in shame. "We are Sorry, Nami, for leaving you alone like that."
Nami just smiled, shaking her head, "Mmm hn I am just happy to know that everyone doesn't hate me."
"But Nami, what are you doing here and why did you bring outsiders here.?" Ganzo asked.
"These guys are my crewmates and friends." Nami said.
'Well more than crewmate and friend if I believe that Luffy guy.' Nojiko thought to herself.
Nami continued, "And they come here to help us defeat Arlong pirates."
Everyone's jaw dropped after hearing that even Nojiko who didn't imagine that was the purpose of Luffy coming here as he never even told her.
"But Nami you know how strong Fishman are these guys may even die." a guy said very scared that even his legs were shaking.
Ann just scoffed after hearing that.
"They are really strong, I wouldn't have brought them here if I didn't know that they could defeat Arlong and the others." Nami said.
"Marines, Marines are here." they all heard a boy's voice and saw a little boy running towards them. It was the same boy who was with Luffy and Nojiko.
It caused a commotion in everyone. They become quite excited after hearing that.
"Yes, The survivors of the Gosa village successfully got in touch with the government. The marines are here to rescue us!"
Then all of the villagers started going toward the shore near Arlong park.
"Let's go girls either way it's time to finish this thing." Luffy said to the girls. Then they also went towards the shore.
