Making Some Progress, Nami's Killing Intent! (Please Support) / Nami's Revenge, The Sun Shines Again on Cocoyasi Village! (Please Support)
As a genius navigator, Nami knew all too well how terrifying natural disasters were.
They were something no living creature could resist, not even Arlong.
Yet now, she had actually gained the power of disasters on that very level.
And Reno had given it all to her.
Worthless golden beans fell once more.
"Wuwuwuwu... Reno, you're so good to me."
Overwhelmed with joy, Nami burst into tears and hugged Reno tightly.
She now absolutely believed that this Devil Fruit was worth more than a billion Belly.
"If you keep crying, you won't be pretty anymore."
Reno smiled. He could clearly sense that Nami's state of mind had subtly changed.
"You're such a bad guy. You made me cry so many times today." Nami wiped away her tears and looked at Reno resentfully.
"Nami, I gave you such a precious Devil Fruit. How are you going to repay me?!" Reno replied to her gaze with a smile.
"Come on. This young lady agrees today. I'll let you have your fill!"
Nami understood and took the initiative to spread her arms, closing her eyes.
Every beautiful female crewmember was precious to Reno, so naturally, he would not favor one over another.
He had to spread the love evenly!
Amid the three girls' cries of surprise, the sounds of playing mahjong gradually rang out in the room.
The ship slowly drifted off course.
A week passed quickly.
High in the sky, Nami created a small Island Cloud and used it to carry the Merry through the air.
It completely freed Reno's hands.
On the deck, Kaya was drenched in sweat as she busied herself training her body.
Her little face was flushed red, making her look especially adorable.
As for Nami—
To prepare for the upcoming battle with Arlong, she had been training like mad these past few days.
She was exhausted.
So exhausted that she felt sick and wanted to throw up.
Whenever she trained to the point of nearly passing out, she had Kaya use the Healing Fruit to remove her negative effects before throwing herself back into developing the Weather-Weather Fruit.
Kaya felt terrible for her.
The negative effects could be removed, but the pain she suffered during training was very real.
Nami simply smiled, unconcerned.
Compared to those nightmare-like eight years, what did this little pain amount to?
As long as she could get rid of Arlong, free Cocoyasi Village, and avenge Belle-mère, she would pay any price.
These past few days, Nami had mainly been developing two weather elements: clouds and lightning.
Lightning was for offense.
Clouds were for defense.
From the tiny sparks and small clouds at the beginning, to the thicker lightning she could now wield and using Island Cloud to carry the Merry through the sky—
Nami had constantly been breaking through her limits.
Whenever she got tired, Kaya would help her remove the negative effects, and then she would continue.
Again and again.
Seeing the destructive power of the lightning Nami released, Reno praised her. "Nami, not bad."
Nami turned around, placed her hands on her hips, and raised her brows. "I'll make Arlong regret it soon enough."
Reno nodded in satisfaction. Her fighting spirit was high—very good!
In just a few days, Nami's progress had been astonishing.
Her compatibility with the Weather-Weather Fruit was nearly perfect.
Especially when it came to sensing the four weather elements of wind, rain, clouds, and lightning, Nami was an absolute genius.
No wonder even Golden Lion had wanted to snatch Nami away to be his navigator.
Originally, Reno had planned to deliberately slow their flight and give Nami a few more days to train.
After all, the source of all fear was insufficient firepower.
The stronger Nami became, the less afraid she would be of Arlong.
But he had clearly worried too much.
Perhaps it was the hatred in her heart toward Arlong that had unleashed Nami's potential, causing her strength to soar.
With Nami's current strength, she was more than capable of killing Arlong.
Now, whenever Nami heard Arlong's name, her eyes held nothing but boundless hatred and bone-deep coldness.
Seeing Nami covered in sweat, Kaya thoughtfully stepped forward and helped remove the fatigue from her body.
"Thank you, Kaya." Nami smiled sweetly.
"It's nothing." Kaya smiled back. "Nami, we'll be at Cocoyasi Village soon. Stop training."
Nami wiped the sweat from her body with a towel and nodded.
Reno suddenly thought of something and reminded her, "Nami, when dealing with enemies, you can't show mercy. You have to pull them out by the roots."
Don't be like some idiot who only ever Knocked Away his opponents.
"I understand." Nami nodded with hatred in her eyes.
Show mercy?!!
If she did not turn those bastards from the Arlong Pirates into sashimi, she would never be able to vent the hatred in her heart.
Before long, Island Cloud had flown above Arlong Park.
"Nami, go down. I'll cover you from up here."
Reno took control of Island Cloud and brought it to a stop in midair.
"Huff..." Nami took a deep breath. Her lower body turned into clouds as she dove straight toward Arlong Park.
Inside Arlong Park—
The Fish-man Arlong was chatting and laughing with a man who looked remarkably like a mouse.
Captain Mouse looked at the large chest filled with Belly that Arlong had pushed toward him and happily stroked his beard.
"Arlong, a pleasure doing business with you."
Arlong spread his arms and laughed as he replied, "Hahahahaha, Captain Mouse, as long as we join forces, this stretch of sea will belong to the two of us."
For so many years, he had run rampant through these waters and committed every evil imaginable, yet he had still lived freely to this day.
What he relied on was Captain Mouse's identity as a Marine.
Though the man was somewhat greedy, compared to what Arlong gained, it was hardly worth mentioning.
Captain Mouse nodded with a sinister grin.
How much could a mere Marine captain earn, even if he worked himself to death?!!
The Belly in the chest before him was worth several years of his salary.
As for those people Arlong had killed, he could not care less.
There were plenty of people anyway.
As long as they did not get in the way of his profits, that was all that mattered.
As they chatted and laughed, a small shadow suddenly appeared above Arlong Park.
"What a bunch of scum."
The sudden cold shout stunned Arlong and Captain Mouse. The two raised their heads in confusion.
Then they saw Nami's frost-covered face.
"Nami?! How did you?!!"
Seeing Nami with her lower body transformed into clouds, Arlong was utterly shocked.
With his experience, he recognized it at a glance.
A Devil Fruit Ability!
And a Logia Devil Fruit Ability at that.
This was bad!!
Arlong's expression immediately darkened.
Without Haki, he could not even touch a Logia User's body.
Damn it!!
Nami had actually obtained a Logia Devil Fruit.
Things had taken a terrible turn.
Under the stunned gazes of Arlong and the many Fish-men, Nami descended from the sky, and the clouds transformed back into her limbs.
Arlong's face was filled with murderous fury as he warily stared at Nami. "Nami, what are you here for?! Have you gathered one hundred million Belly?!"
"Heh, one hundred million Belly?!" Nami's cold gaze swept over Arlong and the others before finally settling on Captain Mouse.
"So even the Marines are helping you. No wonder..."
At that moment, Nami finally understood.
"In that case... all of you can die!!!"
Seeing Nami openly turn hostile, Arlong knew his previous threats no longer had any effect on her.
He immediately roared, "We can attack her with Seawater! Everyone, attack together!"
Seawater was the bane of all Devil Fruit Users, and Logia Users were no exception.
"Kill her!!"
"Nami, you ungrateful traitor!!"
"Roarrr!!!"
A group of Fish-men wailed like ghosts and howled like wolves as they struck the Seawater and launched an attack at Nami.
Before this, Nami had merely been a clown for their amusement. What right did she have to act arrogantly in front of them?!
"Lightning Strike!!"
Nami spoke expressionlessly. As she pressed down with her palm, bolts of silver lightning fell from the sky.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Thick bolts of lightning struck the Fish-men charging toward her without warning. Some of the weaker ones immediately rolled their eyes and floated belly-up.
"Arlong, I'll return every bit of the suffering from these eight years to you today!!!"
"All of you, die!!!"
Boom! Boom! Boom!
