To the end of the sea [One Piece]
Chapter 9 The Promise of 1 Million
"Usopp——!" Luffy woke up and saw Usopp lying on the ground shaking him in shock, "What's wrong with you?! Is this how you were beaten by Nami!"
No, that’s not the case no matter how you look at it. Ena complained in her mind.
"Actually, it was us..." Sanji said guiltily.
"No, it's you alone." Zoro snorted.
"So Nami did not kill Usopp." Ena crossed her arms and said, "How do you feel, Usopp? Are you okay?"
"Ah, Ena, it's great that you are here too..." Usopp rubbed his face and stood up and yelled at Sanji, "You guy! How dare you laugh!"
Sanji chuckled and said, "Oh, doesn't this look very energetic~"
"So, Nami did not kill me." Usopp said solemnly, "No, it should be said to be the complete opposite... I was saved by her." He began to tell about his experience just now.
Ena narrowed her eyes. It was exactly as she thought. The gloves on Nami's hands were to cover the wounds she made when she pretended to stab Usopp. And after such an explanation, no one will believe that Nami is a bad person anymore.
"Nami must have her reasons for working under Arlong." Usopp said.
"So, what are we going to do? Attack Aaron's Paradise?" Sauron looked calm.
"Ah no, no, no, so we should first find out what happened to Nami..." Usopp waved his hands hurriedly.
"No matter what you do, it's useless."
They turned around and Nokkigao appeared behind them.
"No matter what we do, Aaron's rule will not end." Noqigao said.
"Who is she?" Luffy asked.
"Nokiko, Nami's sister." Eina told him. She turned to Nozhigao: "Now can you tell us what the truth is that you haven't told us all this time?"
Noqigao sighed: "I will tell you the whole story. Once you know it, you will leave this village immediately."
"I'm not interested in Nami's past." Luffy walked forward, "I'm leaving first."
"Where are you going?" Usopp asked him.
"walk."
Zoro shook his head and lay down under the shade of a tree nearby: "Forget it, don't worry about that guy. We'll just listen to you. But even if we listen, nothing will change."
"No wonder Nami is helpless against you..." Nokigao smiled helplessly.
The dark pink-haired woman in the Nami family's photo frame is their adoptive mother, Bellmere. She used to be a marine and adopted two orphans, Nami and Nokigao, and made a living by selling citrus. Although she was poor, she gave her two little girls all her love.
Nami has shown extraordinary talent for drawing since she was a child. Little Nami's dream is to grow up to be a navigator and draw a map of the world using everything she sees with her own eyes.
Such dreams were shattered with the arrival of Aaron.
The ferocious fishman demands a price of 10 beli for adults and 5 beli for children. However, Bellmere only had enough money to pay an adult. In the face of danger, Bellemere stepped forward and was shot dead in front of Nami.
That 10 Baileys was not used by her to buy her own life.
She said it was money for her two daughters.
She bought the lives of Nami and Nokigao with her own death, and then Aaron discovered Nami's talent for drawing and took her to Aaron's Paradise.
As for Nami, despite the pain of her adoptive mother's tragic death and her betrayal of the village, she gritted her teeth and worked for Aaron.
Because Aaron made an agreement with her that as long as she gave him 100 million beli, she could buy Cocoyasi Village.
Everyone in the village will be free.
For this unattainable dream, Nami, who was still a child, endured the humiliation and got a tattoo belonging to Aaron.
until today.
After Nokigao left, Ena murmured to herself: "So the reason for dying...is it because of love."
Zoro looked at her and frowned. This wasn't the first time he heard her wonder about the reasons for life and death.
"Even an adopted child would show such love..." Eina covered her heart, with helpless confusion in her eyes.
At this time, Sanji suddenly stood up and interrupted her: "In short, I know Miss Nami's pain, then let me relieve her of all this!"
"I know what you are thinking, porn cook." Usopp said with disgust.
"What's wrong with serving beautiful women?" Sanji lit a cigarette.
"It's strange to say that, Sanji, you didn't look like you did before when you saw Ena," Usopp imitated Sanji's nymphomaniac face vividly, "For example, Miss Ena~~Please accept my heart~ ~something like that.”
Eina looked at Sanji blankly. Unexpectedly, the blond man's face turned red: "That's because... that's because..."
"Eh?" Ena also became interested, "Is it because I'm not pretty enough?"
"How is that possible!!" Sanji shouted while holding his breath, "Sister Ena... Of course Ena is super pretty!"
But then he stopped talking and didn't answer no matter how Usopp asked him.
"Stop being so long-winded." Zoro stood up expressionlessly, "It's time to go."
And so the episode came to an end. Sanji walked behind Eina and secretly glanced at her back with his peripheral vision.
Just kidding...that's...
That is the person he respects and admires more than his real sister...
Although she no longer remembers herself, there is no way he can be infatuated with her in front of her.
"Get out!"
"Get out, get out, get out..." The girl with short orange hair cried hysterically, trembling all over while throwing up sand and dust on the road behind her.
She stopped what she was doing, tears falling to the ground.
"Luffy..." She said with tears streaming down her face like a little beast that had finally taken off its armor, "Help me..."
The boy behind him didn't speak. He silently stepped forward and placed his most precious straw hat on her head.
Nami was stunned and forgot to cry under the cover of the brim of her hat.
Luffy passed her, walked to the middle of the road, raised his arms and shouted to the sky with all his strength:
"Of course!!!"
When a group of them returned to Cocoyasi Village, they saw such a scene.
Zoro sat on a chair nearby, Sanji leaned against the wall and smoked, and Usopp put on his goggles.
The Straw Hat Pirates already knew what their captain was going to do next. So they didn't need any more words and were ready to fight with Luffy here.
"Let's go." Luffy said in a deep voice as he walked past them.
The three of them stood up and walked forward with Luffy. Usopp turned around and glanced at Ena, who gave him a "I'll be there soon" look.
So Usopp smiled and continued walking forward.
Eina walked towards Nami, and the short-haired girl looked at her with tears in her eyes: "Who are you..."
"My name is Ikegawa Ena." Ena showed a gentle smile, took out a white handkerchief from her body, and gently covered the bloody tattoo she scratched.
"This tattoo is too ugly." Eina said to her softly, "After everything is over, find a master and change it into the pattern you like."
Nami covered her mouth, tears welling up again.
Eina smiled softly and looked into her eyes: "Girls, you should take good care of yourself."
"Let me show you the three-sword style."
When Ena hurried to Arlong's Paradise, which was already a mess, Zoro was fighting an octopus man using the Six Sword Style.
"That idiot..." Eina glared at him, "Didn't he just get injured before?!"
The Johnny duo, who had come back for some reason, saw her and shouted as if they had seen a savior: "Sister Naraku!! You are finally here! Brother Luffy was thrown into the water by Arlong and was about to drown. He's dead, but now these two fishmen are blocking Brother Zoro and Sanji from saving Brother Luffy! Brother Zoro is also trying to be brave, what should we do now!"
"Tsk." Eina gritted her teeth, "Where is Usopp?"
"Brother Usopp led another fishman away!"
Eina put her hand on the knife and watched Zoro's fight attentively. She knew that she couldn't just rush up and interrupt them at this time, otherwise it might affect Sauron.
She suppressed the anger in her heart and waited until all the octopus fish-man's knives were cut off by Sauron, and Sauron ended the battle with a heavy breath. Then she finally rushed out uncontrollably and caught Sauron's body.
"If you don't want to die, just say so and I'll give you a knife." She said to Zoro in a low voice. When the other party saw her, he smiled: "I will not die in a place like this... in Until I defeat that man, death will not be able to take my life."
Eina smiled angrily: "Okay, then you'd better live well for me now, and don't run out of breath before I blow this place away."
Sauron raised his eyebrows with difficulty: "What are you doing here? If you want to kill Aaron, we will do it for you."
Eina put him down and stood up: "It's because a certain green-headed swordsman is dying. I'm here to help."
She held the knife in her hand, turned her head and smiled: "You still owe me a competition, and Luffy still owes me a ship."
Zoro grinned and looked at her without speaking.
On the other side, Nokigao and Ken had secretly stretched Luffy's head to the surface of the water. Ken was squeezing Luffy's chest desperately under the water, while Nokigao was pulling Luffy's head on the shore.
It was also because of this that Luffy persisted until now without being drowned.
"Someone has to go into the water and smash the rocks on Luffy's feet before he can come up." Zoro said.
Eina was in trouble: "This is too bad. I am also a Devil Fruit user, so I can't go into the water to save him."
Zoro was surprised: "Are you too?"
At this time, Eina had no intention of hiding her ability. She nodded directly: "Yes. But you are already injured like this. I definitely can't let you go into the water again."
"You seem to have forgotten me." Sanji said while fighting another fishman and retreating to the water. Without saying a word, he threw off his shoes and jumped into the water with a splash.
Ena looked at the water worriedly. Fishmen are best at fighting in the water, but Sanji has trouble breathing in the water, so he doesn't know if he can succeed.
As expected, Sanji jumped up after a moment, followed closely by the fishman who had just jumped down to chase him.
"No." Sanji gasped as he coughed up water, "I still have to deal with this guy on land."
Eina stood up: "I'm here to help you."
"No." The blond man stretched out a hand and rejected her. Eina looked at him in surprise, but Sanji's expression was more serious than ever.
He turned his head and looked directly into Ena's eyes, which contained seriousness and tenderness, as well as a nostalgia that Ena could not understand.
"Let me protect you this time." He raised an energetic smile.
"Mutton shoot——"
The man in a black suit used his slender legs to kick the fishman into the building, penetrating several walls. The lethality was so great that Eina opened her mouth wide.
Sanji turned around and looked at her with bright eyes, like a child waiting for praise: "See, I said I can protect you."
Seeing his expression, Ena suddenly...
Something blurry and unclear appeared.
【Sanji! Go quickly! ! ! 】
The earth-shattering waves were accompanied by the fierce wind, and a pair of small hands held tightly, but in the end they were still cruelly pushed away bit by bit.
【Can I call you sister...Ena? 】
Ena has not yet recovered from such memories. Aaron, who had been watching the battle, saw his men being defeated one by one, and finally stood up with a gloomy face.
He held a handful of water in his hand and waved it to the three of them lightly.
Zoro's pupils narrowed, his injured body avoided him, and was knocked to the ground heavily by the seemingly powerless water droplets.
Eina reacted a moment too slowly, and before the drop of water knocked her down, Sanji swooped down and blocked the blow for her with his body.
The two people spit out a mouthful of blood together.
Ena's eyes widened. This is the true ability of the fishmen...
The knife she had struck before was just a surprise blow, and it did not cause any harm to Aaron at all.
She helped Sanji sit up and pulled out the knife angrily: "Just stop it, you bastard."
Aaron laughed "xiaxiaxia": "What's wrong? Pirate hunter [Naraku]...didn't you say before that fish people are an inferior race? Look at your partners, they are so vulnerable."
Eina sneered: "Really... A bastard like you will never be able to understand your inferiority for the rest of his life."
"Ena!!" Ena turned her head and saw Nami coming in wearing a straw hat.
"Sorry, I'm late..." Nami gasped and walked up to them.
Aaron smiled maliciously when he saw her: "Ah...it's Nami. Why, I was still thinking about whether you would come back to me and be my surveyor."
Nami said nothing.
"What's wrong? Do you want to wait for these people to save you?" Aaron sneered and said, "But look, the people you rely on... are all such weak guys. And if you say, you want to go back Come to me and I will let everyone go, including your villagers... Of course, if you want to resist me with these guys, I don't mind killing them all in front of you... including you."
He made a pityful expression: "You have to think carefully, Nami. I really want to cherish you as an excellent surveyor. If you make the wrong choice, I will be very sorry."
Nami stayed where she was.
If, if one word of mine could decide everyone's fate...
but…
"Hey." Ena's voice brought her back to her thoughts, "Don't ignore me just because I'm a girl, right?" She turned back and smiled at Nami: "You have been... carrying everyone's fate for too long. "
Nami opened her mouth slightly in shock. Eina continued: "There is no fate that can be decided with a word, and there is no difficulty that can be changed with the power of one person. You don't need to think about what kind of decision is best for everyone."
She looked at Aaron and showed a hundred times more frightening killing intent: "Now... you just need to tell me if you want..."
"Knock this fish away!"
Zoro's painful expression twisted into a smile. Sanji coughed and slowly pushed himself up.
Nami thought for a long time, and finally shouted out with tears and determination: "Please help me...get him out of here!"
Eina smiled with bright eyes.
"Poof——" Not far away, a column of sea water sprayed into the sky like a whale breathing. Everyone turned to look, Zoro smiled: "It seems that guy...is finally here."
"Now we just need to solve the stumbling block." Sanji also climbed up and took off his shoes.
Eina raised the sword with a cold light and said in a deep voice: "Go to Sanji and bring Luffy back. Leave this place to me."
"Okay!" Sanji jumped into the water with a splash.
Aaron frowned and wanted to find out what the water column was just now, but a bloody mark was drawn on his face by the extremely fast blade. He looked down and saw a silver-haired girl standing in front of him with a fighting spirit.
"Don't look around." Eina narrowed her eyes, "Your opponent is me."
"You are really in the way -" The fish man attacked her with terrifying anger, but Ena dodged and stabbed him in the chest.
Aaron quickly dodged back: "It's useless...your weak tricks..."
"Speaking of which, I think the tattoos on your body are really eye-catching." The girl's eyes were cold, staring at the red sun pattern. "It's someone like you... I'm really ashamed of your tattoos."
As if he had been stabbed in some memory, the fish-man burst into even more monstrous rage: "What did you say——"
"I said," Eina slashed without hesitation, "you are really the scum of that mark."
