Chapter 597
"I'm Nami's older sister, Nojiko. I've never heard Nami mention you before." The blue-haired girl is Nami's older sister, Nojiko.
Chen Fan was taken aback for a moment, then quickly said, "Oh dear! I didn't expect to run into you so soon, sister. I didn't bring a gift, how rude of me!" He seemed a little uneasy.
Nojiko and said, "No, I don't need a gift. Who are you anyway? Nami would never date a man outside."
"Ah! Did you find out? We haven't officially slept together yet," Chen Fan said with a smile, scratching his head as if he was a little embarrassed to say it.
Thump! Everyone fainted. This guy is so unreliable! "Who asked you about going to bed?!" everyone shouted.
Chen Fan stopped joking and looked at Nojiko, saying, "Let's talk about everything after things calm down. Take me to the Arlong, and this will be over soon!" Everyone had been fired up, but Chen Fan's tone calmed them down. They could feel Chen Fan domineering aura, something that was not something an ordinary person could possess.
Nojiko looked into Chen Fan's eyes, and after a few seconds said, "Okay, I'll take you!"
"Don't go! You'll be killed! So many people have been killed like this over the years!" Genzo stopped Nojiko, saying.
Nojiko turned to Chen Fan and said, "Since he says he's Nami's man, then I'll believe him." She then led Chen Fan towards Arlong. Seeing this, Genzo jumped off the ground and followed.
Nami had already arrived at Arlong's location. Chen Fan's tracking direction was correct; Nami had landed here first. She had just taken out all 100 million Beli she had accumulated over the past eight years, put them all on a small boat, and rowed to Arlong Park in order to buy back her village.
"Bang...!" All the packets of money were thrown in front of the Arlong;
"Arlong, as promised, I've brought all the money. I've bought the village. You're not Cocoyasi Village again, or disturb the villagers!" Nami said to the Arlong.
"Hahaha...! As expected of my subordinates, you've gathered 100 million Beli so quickly! Alright! As agreed, Cocoyasi Village will be returned to you! I, the Arlong, value agreements very much." The Arlong laughed heartily as he spoke.
Upon hearing this, Nami smiled. Finally, she had managed to buy back Cocoyasi Village through her own efforts! It was wonderful; her vow had finally come true.
Suddenly, an unpleasant voice rang out, "Wait a minute!" A naval officer who looked like a Nezumi walked over, and a group of marines surrounded Nami with guns in hand.
"We received a tip that a thief named Nami has apparently stolen a huge sum of money. According to regulations, all of this stolen money must be confiscated!" Mouse Captain Rat said, stroking his mustache.
Nami's expression changed, and she turned her gaze to the Arlong laughed and said, "Nami! The money hasn't been handed over to me yet, so it seems the deal wasn't done! Looks Cocoyasi Village for a while longer."
"Arlong! Why is the Navy here?!"
"How would I know? But it's alright, Nami. If we lose 100 million Beli, we can just save up. We can steal 100 million Beli in eight years. If we act now, four years should be enough, right? Don't worry, four years will pass quickly! I have complete faith in you, Nami, hahahaha...!" Arlong laughed loudly.
Seeing the Arlong's laughter, Nami became extremely angry and shouted, "Bastard!" Then she pulled three short sticks from her thigh, combined them into one long stick, and charged towards the Arlong;
... Seeking fresh crocodile...
But the thug was easily knocked away, and two Marines grabbed Nami's arms and pinned Nami to the ground. Arlong grinned maliciously and said, "Nami, you're my cash cow! How could I bear to let you leave? You bring back 25 million Beli a year, still at the original price of 100,000 Berries for adults and 50,000 for children. If you're short by a certain amount, we'll make up for it with the lives of the villagers! Hahahaha...!"
"You bastard!" Nami said, looking at the Arlong.
"Haha, as long as you bring the money back, you can curse me all you want. You should know I'm a man of my word."
Suddenly, a voice rang out, "No need to wait that long, I'll give you the money now!" Immediately afterward, with a loud "BOOM!", the door was blasted open, sending the pirates and marines nearby flying with screams as they collapsed to the ground.
"Who goes there?" Everyone looked towards the door and shouted loudly;
"If he's here, then he's Nami's man!" Chen Fan walked in from outside;
Upon seeing Chen Fan, Nami exclaimed in surprise, "Chen Fan...!" Tears immediately streamed down her face. If it weren't for her own stubbornness...
Chen Fan saw two people holding Nami's arms, and tears were streaming down Nami's face. Chen Fan's expression changed instantly, and he vanished from his spot.
