"Okay!!"
Nojiko interrupted the somewhat stiff and cold atmosphere, "Nami, don't say such words again! Mikuru has done so many things this year and made such a big sacrifice for us. Even if you are well-intentioned, don't say such hurtful words!"
Nami lowered his head, a trace of frustration flashed across his face.
Mikuru tried his best to stop sobbing, wiped his tears, and opened the two packages on the ground one by one. The gold and silver jewelry sparkled.
She said cautiously, "Nami, look, I stole more treasure this time than before. I can save this village right away."
"You... I'm sorry, Mikuru, I shouldn't have said such things..." Nami looked guilty, tightly holding the slightly ferocious tattoo on his left arm with his right hand, "But, I really don't want you to get involved in our village, I... don't want to implicate you."
"How could that be possible..." Mikuru laughed through tears, "Your business is the cat's business. You saved me. Of course I must repay you. At least I won't leave until I complete the agreement."
"You are really... willful."
"Because you are the cat's savior!"
"Thank you...Mikuru, I actually like you very much."
After Nami finished speaking, Mikuru immediately rushed forward, threw Nami to the ground, and rubbed his plush head against Nami, "Me too~"
Nami smoothed his hair and pushed Mikuru away a little ticklishly.
"Okay, okay, let's see how much Beli is left..."
Several people piled the treasures in front of them and counted them neatly.
"300...400...600...630... Together with mine, there are more than 8 million Beli!" Nami rubbed Mikuru's soft face, "You are really great, I love you to death~"
Mikuru squinted his eyes very helpfully, "Me too~"
"In this case, plus what we collected before, we are only one million Beli away from the goal of 100 million." Nojiko looked at the scene in front of him and smiled knowingly.
"Yes, there is only one million Beli left. As long as we go to sea one more time, we can liberate Cocoyasi Village!" Nami said with firm eyes.
Mikuru's ears suddenly twitched and his eyes looked towards the door, "What is that?"
Several people looked back, and a slightly bulging bag appeared inexplicably at the door that they had not had time to close.
Nami walked out and looked around, "Is there anyone there?"
She was answered by silence...
"This is..." When she opened the bag, an excited look appeared on her face, "Beli!"
I hurriedly counted it, and it happened to be one million Beli!
"Mikuru, Nojiko, it's Beli, my God, why are you in this place?"
Mikuru said excitedly, "Did you forget to bring it in?"
Nojiko's expression was the most normal among the three, "Maybe Genzo and the others put it there..."
Nami was stunned. "Genzo..."
"Actually... everyone already knows that you joined Arlong Pirates to raise 100 million Beli to redeem this village from Arlong..." Nojiko said slightly to SMILE.
Nami was startled when he heard this, and revealed a touch of memories. "It turns out that everyone knows... They are really bad. In order to take care of my mood, they pretended to know nothing..."
"Wait, this is not the time to say these words!" Nami suddenly picked up the package filled with gold and silver jewelry and ran outside quickly. After a while, he ran back in disgrace, holding a dirty wine bottle wrapped in newspapers.
"This is the 'Tangerine Whiskey' that I buried in the soil a long time ago. I planned to take it out when I fulfilled my promise." She took out three cups and filled them one by one. "However, even if you drink it now... it doesn't matter. Let us toast to the contribution of Mikuru! Let us toast to the Cocoyasi Village that is about to be liberated!"
"Cheers!!"
The three of them happily picked up the wine glasses and clashed with each other. The crystal wine splashed everywhere, and the sound of joy filled the whole room.
This was Bell-mère's favorite drink at first. Because he couldn't bear to spend money to buy wine, he mixed orange juice with wine so that he could drink it for a long time. The money saved could buy books and clothes for his children...
Nami walked to the door and looked at the sky dotted with stars. Bell-mère, you will be watching there, watching everyone in this village live peacefully.
In the grass, two guys lying on the ground looked at the stars with their legs crossed.
Mohji took Den Den Mushi back in his arms. "The pirates didn't steal money, but gave money to others. It's really puzzling... Although they brought four million Beli, they only used one million... No matter what, Captain Buggy's words must be right. What do you think, Richie?"
"Ouch..." Richie squinted his eyes dully, looking at the stars, drool dripping from the corner of his mouth.
The stars in the night sky gradually disappeared, and the sun slowly rose in the east.
In the center of Arlong Empire Plaza, a naval officer wearing a Nezumi hat sat on a chair and waved. The sergeant on his body spread out four reward sheets on the table.
"Arlong, you Fish-Man have always been the overlords of the sea. I would like to ask you for a favor. Send some men to kill these pirates on the sea, Zhizhi."
"Haha." The sawtooth shark Fish-Man Arlong laughed loudly when he heard the flattery, picked up the reward list in his hand, and glanced at it casually. "Buggy the Clown, I remember his reward was only a mere 10 million, but I didn't expect it to have increased to 19.5 million now. It's really... a little unpleasant!"
"Yes, these pirates are challenging your authority." Captain Nezumi took out a stack of Beli from his arms and placed it on the table, "Let's cooperate. These are the rewards after the work is completed. It is a very good deal."
"One or two million Beli can buy the Buggy head with a reward of 19.5 million Beli." Arlong did not take the Beli on the table, "The colonel really knows how to joke, haha!"
Nezumi looked a little cold and looked at Arlong in silence.
"Don't get me wrong, Colonel, we are friends, but I also need you to do me a small favor. Then I will go and kill third-rate pirates like Buggy."
"Say whatever you want, as long as it's within my permission."
The two talked for a while.
A red-skinned Fish-Man hurriedly ran over. "Arlong boss, Na...Nami is on the way and will be here soon!"
"Okay, don't make a fuss, I heard it, Hatchan, escort the colonel away." Arlong looked back at that Fish-Man and shouted towards the huge door.
Nezumi stood up with squinting eyes, unable to hide the joy on his face. "Then I'll take my leave first."
Wow!
Octopus Hatchan jumped out of the water onto the shore and pointed at Octopus Pot behind him. "Yes, I will escort you back, but you look like a Nezumi, hahahaha!"
Arlong said quickly, "Hey, Hatchan, don't talk to our friends like that, the colonel is a regular customer!"
Nezumi squeaked twice, and got on Octopus Pot with a few of his subordinates.
Watching Nezumi ride Octopus Pot away, Arlong stood up and said, "Okay, chirp, let's go for a walk and 'hunt' on the bottom of the sea. Kuroobi, I'll leave the rest to you."
