Nami's Hometown (3)

"Hehe, the Arlong has committed too many evils, even Heaven can't tolerate him anymore, who doesn't know that!" Uncle Genzo smiled mysteriously and said.

He didn't reveal that it was Fanxin's doing, because he knew that Fanxin definitely didn't want others to know that it was him who did it. So, he complied with Fanxin's request.

After saying that, Uncle Genzo went down the mountain and returned to the village.

He returned to his room, looked at the framed picture of Nami on the wall, and a faint smile appeared on his face.

"Nami, you're free now. Go do what you want!" Uncle Genzo said, and immediately burst into tears. For eight years, he had suppressed his emotions. No matter what setbacks he encountered, he never let himself cry because he was the pillar of strength in everyone's hearts. He absolutely could not be weak. If he fell, everyone might not be able to hold on.

Now that it's all over, he can't hold back any longer.

He cried loudly for a long time before he calmed down.

The villagers also returned to the village because they couldn't see clearly anymore and felt very bored staying on the mountain.

After returning home, they went about their own business. However, they were also preparing for the celebration, although they didn't know why Uncle Genzo had said that. But they trusted Uncle Genzo; he was absolutely right.

Outside the village, not far from Arlong Park.

Fanxin had already taken all the other Fish-Man away, leaving only the Arlong. The Arlong was in a sorry state; he desperately wanted to fight the mastermind behind it all, but the sandstorm around him made it impossible.

"You brat, it's you, isn't it! Come out here, come out here!" the Arlong roared in displeasure. "Didn't you say three days later? Why did you break your promise?"

He had basically figured out who was behind his attack. Apart from Fanxin and his gang, who had appeared not long ago, he felt it couldn't be anyone else.

He was very dissatisfied. He thought Fanxin would really come three days later, but now Fanxin had acted three days earlier, catching him completely off guard. If it weren't for this, he felt he could have dealt with Fanxin.

"Heh, what promises do you want from me? Besides, when I went there, I overheard you seemingly plotting how to frame me," Fanxin said. "Since I knew you wouldn't agree, and I knew you would take action, why should I wait three days?"

"You bastard, you eavesdropped on our conversation?" the Arlong roared in fury.

"So what if I eavesdropped? Are your words confidential?" Fanxin scoffed disdainfully and said, "Let me tell you, you Arlong, I know exactly what you're thinking. So, stop wasting your breath. You can't escape. There are tornadoes all around you right now. If you're not careful, you'll get caught in one, and then you'll be in real trouble."

"And I can control tornadoes, so victory is already assured. If you surrender, I might spare your life; but if you remain stubborn, don't blame me for being ruthless."

"Hmph, if you hadn't been hiding in the room, there would have been absolutely no way you could have defeated me," the Arlong said resentfully.

He single-handedly built the Arlong Pirates and dominated this place for so long. But now, with the arrival of Fanxin, everything has been destroyed. His base is gone, his subordinates are gone, and now even he is about to be captured alive or killed. He is so depressed that he is about to die.

"Hehe, isn't that a kind of ability too? If you could become invisible, I wouldn't be able to do anything to you either!" Fanxin chuckled and said.

"Fine, I guess I'm out of luck. So, tell me, what are you going to do to me?" the Arlong asked.

"I'll take you to the Grand Line, and when the time is right, I'll release you," Fanxin said. "Arlong, if you agree, then I won't touch you. But if you don't agree, then I won't be so gentle with you."

"Alright, I agree." The Arlong nodded slightly and said.

As the Arlong spoke these words, a murderous glint flashed in its eyes, but it vanished in an instant, unnoticed even by Fanxin.

Fanxin was relieved to hear that the Arlong had agreed. However, he stared at the Arlong closely for a moment, a vague unease creeping into his heart. The Arlong had been operating here for many years, and for him to agree so readily was completely unlike his usual style.

After hesitating for a moment, Fanxin did not rush over immediately. He took out the laser gun that the Little Black Cat had given him, aimed at the Arlong, and fired more than a dozen shots at its hands, feet, and chest.

Having been shot more than a dozen times, the Arlong lost his balance and collapsed to the ground. He howled in agony for a long time without stopping.

"Why? I have already agreed to surrender, why are you still attacking me?" the Arlong roared in displeasure.

"Hehe, you're cunning. Just in case, I had no choice but to do this. Don't worry, being shot won't kill you; it'll just temporarily immobilize you. You'll be fine after a while," Fanxin said with a smile.

Having said that, Fanxin stopped wasting words, went to the Arlong's side, picked Arlong up, and threw it into the Wind and Sand Tower.

"You bastard, just you wait, I'll make you pay!" the Arlong said resentfully.

Fanxin had repeatedly tricked him, which infuriated him. He was currently unable to move. However, he had made up his mind that once he was free, he would relentlessly hunt Fanxin and make Fanxin understand how terrifying he was.

"Wait? Heh, I'm afraid that won't work. You'll be spending the rest of your life in prison." Fanxin smiled dismissively upon hearing this.

He didn't take the Arlong's strength seriously at all. If he weren't Fish-Man, he could move freely in the water. Fanxin didn't consider him a threat at all.

"It's time to go. If we stay, the villagers will attack us." Fanxin clapped his hands, no longer thinking about the Arlong and the others. He headed towards the village, preparing to quietly leave with Ren Fang and the others.

However, halfway there, he saw Ren Fang running towards him with Little Black and Langyue.

"Why did you all come out?" Fanxin asked.

"Hehe, you've made such a commotion, how can the villagers not be suspicious? Staying there will only lead to an attack. Let's go, let's leave this island," Ren Fang said with a smile.

"That makes sense," Fanxin agreed. Without further hesitation, he led Ren Fang, Little Black, and Langyue toward the small bay where the boats were moored.

Upon reaching this side of the bay, they summoned their ships and then quietly sailed away.

Fanxin thought no one had noticed, but what he didn't know was that someone was watching them leave from the side of the small bay. That person was none other than Uncle Genzo.

It's understandable that the villagers didn't know. But he knew the whole story, and he couldn't pretend he hadn't heard or seen anything. So, he came specifically to see Fanxin and the others off.

"Have a safe journey," Uncle Genzo murmured, then left and returned to the village.

After leaving Cocoyasi Village, Fanxin immediately instructed the Little Black Cat to adjust the course and head towards the Grand Line.

After the Little Black Cat adjusted its course, they drifted slowly on the sea.

Eight days passed just like that.

On the ninth day, they saw an island.

Without a word, they steered their boat toward the island.

They were in such a hurry because the food and seasonings on the ship were almost gone, and if they didn't replenish them soon, they would starve. Although Langyue could catch fish from the seabed, without seasoning, the food wouldn't taste good.

Now that they've finally spotted an island, they certainly won't let it go.

"Little Black, go and investigate immediately to see if anyone lives on the island!" Fanxin shouted.

Upon hearing this, the Little Black Cat nodded slightly and immediately flew towards the island. When it reached the island, it activated its Mechanical Eye and began to investigate.

A moment later, a smile appeared on its face. Then, it immediately flew back to the ship.

"Yes, there is a very large village, with quite a few people," the Little Black Cat said with a smile.

"That's good. Head over there at full speed!" Fanxin shouted.

The Little Black Cat nodded, immediately started the engine, increased the speed of the boat, and headed straight for the island.

Ten minutes later, they arrived at the island. They disembarked, hid the boat, and immediately headed towards the island.

The Little Black Cat was right; this was indeed a very large village. However, after looking at it, he felt that it was more accurate to call it a town rather than a village, because the village's area was about the same size as the towns he had seen before.

Without much thought, Fanxin led everyone to the village restaurant for a delicious meal.

After eating and drinking their fill, they rested in the village for an hour. Then, they got up and went to the market to buy things. They needed to buy a lot of things this time, as they were out of seasonings and food, and they had to get everything they needed.

All four of them set off, heading straight for the market.

Upon arriving at the market, they began selecting seasonings and food, and then started their shopping.

The items here are very cheap and of good quality. Fanxin bought a lot of everything and put them in the refrigerated display case to keep them fresh.

They swarmed like locusts, buying anything that looked good immediately. The shop owners and stall owners were all smiles, because they had found a big customer!

Two hours later, they stopped shopping because they had finished selecting everything they wanted.

"Should we rest here for the night and leave tomorrow?" Ren Fang said. "We've been on the ship all this time lately, it's so boring."

"That's true, who knows when we'll encounter another island?" Fanxin pondered for a moment, then said, "Alright, let's rest in the village tonight!"

After obtaining Fanxin's permission, Ren Fang immediately led everyone to find a place to stay.

The village is quite large, so there are plenty of places to stay. As long as you have money, there won't be any problem.

They asked the villagers and found out where they could find lodging. Without hesitation, they headed straight there.

As we walked along, villagers came and went in an endless stream.

"Hey, there's a huge crowd ahead! Is something good happening?" The Little Black Cat, with its sharp eyes, suddenly noticed that the area ahead was packed with villagers, and the scene was quite large.

Upon hearing this, Fanxin and Ren Fang immediately looked in that direction and indeed saw a large number of villagers crowded there.

After hesitating for a moment, they walked forward together.

Upon arriving at their destination, they tried their best to break through the crowd and get to the front.

Once they reached the front, Fanxin finally understood why the villagers had gathered there.

Because someone is looking for a spouse within the encirclement.

They were two sisters, very beautiful with delicate skin, especially after they dressed up, they were stunning. What was even more captivating was their clothing, which was rather revealing.

They wore sexy bikinis with only capes over them. They didn't use their capes to cover their bodies, displaying their perfect figures to everyone. How could the villagers, especially the men, not be interested?

The male villagers watched with rapid breathing and slightly flushed faces, as if they had been agitated.

However, Fanxin noticed that although the male villagers were very excited, not one of them stepped forward to take the two men away.

"Little Black, ask these men why they're not coming forward!" Fanxin whispered to the Little Black Cat.

He didn't ask himself, because he was a spirit, and if he spoke, it would surely frighten everyone.

"Okay." The Little Black Cat nodded, jumped onto the shoulder of an excited male villager, tapped him on the head, and when he turned around, it asked, "Hey, their demands are so low, why didn't you guys do anything? Are you all stupid?!"

The two girls stated in the notice that they were willing to share a husband, and that it didn't matter whether he was old or young, as long as he was willing to marry them. Their demands couldn't be lowered further.

The Little Black Cat was a bit confused. These two beautiful women were practically throwing themselves at each other, yet these grown men weren't going up to them, leaving it speechless.

"Hmm, how can a cat talk?" The villager turned around and was surprised to see a Black Cat asking him a question.

"Why can't cats talk? Don't look down on cats, or I'll beat you up." The Black Cat glared fiercely at the other cat and shouted, "Stop talking nonsense and answer my question. Why? Don't you want those two beauties?"

The villager was frightened by the Black Cat's fierce gaze and dared not utter another word. He glanced at the two beautiful women in front of him and said, "Alas, though they are great beauties, we are not worthy of them!"

"Why?! Is it because you're impotent? Are you sick? If you're sick, you need to get treatment!" The Little Black Cat said something shocking.

The villager was enraged and shouted, "That's not true! I absolutely have no problem in that area. My wife even says I'm amazing. Stop talking nonsense!"

"Oh, why is that? Is it because you're henpecked, so you don't dare to have affairs outside?" the Little Black Cat asked.

"No, no. I'm not henpecked," the villager immediately retorted.
