Reactions from All Sides (Part 1)
However, most people in the pirate world were no longer paying attention to what came next in the video. They were still caught up in the scene that had just unfolded.
A flurry of comments appeared on the screen. {S-Straw Hat Luffy Pirates lost! The first pirate crew in history to escape Enies Lobby unscathed really was no match for a legendary pirate!}
{The East Blue is in danger! The Straw Hat Luffy Pirates lost, and the Marines are no help. I don't think anyone can stop Golden Lion now!}
{I told them to run ages ago! But they kept dragging their feet on that island, and now they've all been wiped out! This makes me so mad!}
{Come on, Straw Hat Luffy Pirates! You can't give up like this! What happened to the tenacity you showed during the Enies Lobby Incident? Get back up!!}

{Jihahaha, you little brats, now you know just how big the gap between us is!} Golden Lion said arrogantly.
{Mamamama, Golden Lion, all you did was beat a bunch of wet-behind-the-ears brats! What are you so smug about?} Big Mom said disdainfully.
{Jihahaha, Linlin, don't worry. Once I've destroyed the East Blue, I'll come find you. Then I'll show you just how strong I am,} Golden Lion declared.
{Worororo, I'll be sure to come watch when that happens,} Kaido said excitedly.
{Jihahaha, don't worry, Kaido, I won't spare you either. Once I've dealt with Linlin, it'll be your turn and Whitebeard's. Oh, right! There's that brat named Shanks, too. I'll bring this so-called era of the Four Emperors to an end with my own hands,} Golden Lion boasted.
{Mamamama, you're dreaming in broad daylight! Golden Lion, you're ten thousand years too early to think you can beat me!}
{Worororo, how much have you had to drink? Golden Lion, if you dare show your face in front of me, I'll send you down to see Roger.}
{Jihahaha, just wait and see, Kaido, Linlin.}
East Blue, Goa Kingdom, Foosha Village, Makino's bar.
"Luffy!" the villagers, including the village chief, Slap, said worriedly.
Mount Colubo, the mountain bandits' home.
"Luffy!" the Dadan Family said, just as worried.
East Blue, Shimotsuki Village.
"Senior Zoro," the apprentices said anxiously.
Koshiro, standing beside them, also showed a trace of worry in his eyes.
East Blue, somewhere at sea.
"Boss Zoro won't lose," Johnny the Blade God and Yosaku the Sword Saint said firmly.
East Blue, Syrup Village.
"Come on, Captain Usopp!" Carrot and the other two shouted.
Kaya's house.
"Mr. Usopp, please be safe!" Kaya prayed, clenching her little fists.
East Blue, Cocoyasi Village.
"No! I have to go out to sea and bring Nami back. It's far too dangerous for her to be with a captain and crewmates like that!" Bellemere said as she started toward the door.
Fortunately, Genzo and Nojiko held her back.
"Bellemere, don't rush! The God from Beyond the Domain's Jianying video isn't over yet, is it? There could still be a twist coming!" Nojiko urged.
"That's right! You have to believe in Straw Hat Luffy and the others! They're good at making miracles happen," Genzo chimed in.
"But why do you have so much faith in them? They've already been defeated!" Bellemere said, puzzled.
"Because they saved our village. They're our heroes," Nojiko and Genzo said in unison.
Bellemere had heard from Nojiko and Genzo that Luffy and his crew had freed the village from Arlong, but she hadn't had time to ask about the details.
That was because, just then, they had blurted out that Nami had become a pirate, sending her into a rage on the spot.
As a result, she had no idea how Luffy and his crew had freed the village, much less that Nojiko and the others trusted them to this extent. She couldn't help thinking, Looks like I need to find time to ask them all about it!
She fell briefly silent at the thought, then nodded and said, "All right! I'll trust them one more time. If they can't rescue Nami after this, I'm setting sail right away to bring her back."
East Blue, the sea restaurant Baratie.
"Sanji, you can't lose!" the chefs called out in encouragement.
"Sanji," Red-Leg Zeff murmured, a trace of worry flashing through his eyes.
East Blue, Loguetown, inside a house.
"Impossible! There's no way Senior Luffy and the others could lose. The God from Beyond the Domain must have made a mistake!" Bartolomeo shouted angrily. "Damn God from Beyond the Domain, hurry up and show us the right video, you bastard!"

"That's right!" Chimney agreed beside her.
