Rather than saying this is a small island, it is more appropriate to describe it as an archipelago. Dozens of small islands are connected one after another, forming a settlement style of villages and towns here.

Nami got off the Meili with Wanzi, skillfully got into the woods on the roadside, and brought Wanzi to a small house surrounded by orange trees.

Nami touched the bracelet lightly and said with a smile: "Welcome to my home, Maruko!"

"Wow - what a huge orange orchard!" Wanzi changed back to his original appearance and started to admire.

Maruko said curiously: "I saw the road into the village just now. Why doesn't Nami go that way?"

Nami's eyes dimmed, and she took off her short sleeves in front of Maruko, revealing the tattoo on her shoulder: "This is the symbol of a member of the Dragon Pirates. In everyone's eyes, I should be considered an enemy."

Wanzi didn't ask any more questions. Everything Nami experienced naturally had her reasons. She just needed to understand that Nami was her partner now!

Nami randomly picked a big, round orange from beside her and handed it to Wanzi, then opened the door in front of her with Wanzi.

Nami went back to her room and changed into a sleeveless vest, and then returned to the living room: "You can sit wherever you like, there are only Noki and I at home. It seems she shouldn't be at home now."

Maruko sat obediently at the table, and this was the first time she heard Nami mention her family: "Nogi Gao?"

Nami sat opposite Maruko and explained to her: "She is my sister, but we are both orphans adopted by this family since childhood."

Wanzi looked around. Although the yard was small, it was full of flowers and plants. There was even a bouquet of flowers placed in the room. It could be seen that the person who took care of this home was a sunny, gentle and tough person.

There was a photo placed in the most conspicuous place in the living room. It was a photo of a red-haired woman with a cigarette in her mouth and two children. The two children looked about ten years old. One had orange hair and the other She has blue hair, so she should be Nami and her sister Noki.

Wanzi held his chin and asked Nami: "Now that we have collected enough money, are you going to trade with Aaron?"

Nami nodded lightly and showed a relieved smile: "In order to raise enough money, I started going to sea alone eight years ago, specifically to attack pirates. Now it's finally time to get to know Aaron. !”

Even Luffy didn't go to sea until he was seventeen years old. Eight years ago, Nami was only about eleven years old. She was able to go to sea alone and save the money bit by bit from those fierce pirates. How could she? How many times have you encountered danger?

Maruko couldn't help but stood up, hugged Nami's thin shoulders from behind, and gave her silent comfort.

Nami quickly pushed the ball away: "Okay, let's quickly take out all the money. I hid them all in the orange orchard. No one will know!"

Nami never gets too caught up in sadness, so she pulled the ball and headed towards the orange grove.

Standing in the orange grove, you can feel how big it is. Maruko complained: "If that guy Luffy was here, he would definitely get lost!"

Nami waved her hand proudly: "Absolutely! This place was planted by me, Nokigao, and Berumel. When we were young, Berumel relied on selling oranges to support us. The oranges here are super sweet, and the oranges here are super sweet. Everyone loves it!”

Nami brought the ball to the middle of two rows of orange trees and stepped on the ground with her feet: "This is it!"

Maruko looked carefully at the ground nearby. There was no difference at all. No wonder Nami said that absolutely no one would know. Nami picked up the shovel she had prepared and was about to start digging. Maruko was originally going to use earth escape to help directly, but suddenly her chakra sensed the arrival of a stranger.

Wanzi immediately grabbed Nami's arm and put his right index finger to his mouth: "Wait, someone is coming."

Nami's eyes immediately became alert, and now her heart was tense, and any slightest disturbance could touch her sensitive nerves.

Nami immediately hid the shovel in the middle of the orange tree behind her, carefully observed the ground, and after confirming that there was nothing abnormal, she took Maruko out.

There is now a group of about twenty marines standing outside the orange grove. Standing at the front is a marine who looks like a mouse. The two marines following closely behind are holding an uncle with a windmill on his head.

When Nami saw the uncle in the middle, she immediately exclaimed: "Mr. Takeru!"

Mr. Ajian's face was bruised and swollen, and he was almost dragged here. When he heard Nami's voice, he tried hard to raise his eyelids and gave Nami a weak smile.

"Are you Nami, the leader of the Dragon Pirates?" The mouse-like Marine spoke up, "I am Captain Mouse of the 17th Marine Branch. I received a report from someone that here is someone you hid after you became a pirate. A lot of cash, search it for me!”

"Yes!" Colonel Mouse gave the order, and his navy immediately took out various tools and searched the entire orange orchard.

Nami's eyes widened to their maximum size, and she slumped on the ground helplessly. She was the only one who knew this place, so why would these marines also know it?

The Navy's actions are very big, and they don't care about the life and death of the orange orchard. If this continues, the money, the money she has saved for eight years, will definitely be found!

She was full of hope just now, but now she was overturned by reality. Darkness seemed to fall in front of Nami's eyes. With her strength, she simply couldn't defeat so many people. Could it be that these eight years of hard work have been in vain? She has to spend another eight years. Do you want to save again next year?

"Ninjutsu Water Release - Water Prison Technique!"

Maruko divided the chakra into twenty and instantly imprisoned all twenty marines in the orange grove, including Captain Mouse, in a cage made of water balls.

Maruko squatted down and hugged Nami, and kept repeating: "It's okay, it's okay, don't worry, they were all defeated by me!"

A firm voice and a warm embrace pulled Nami out of the darkness. Nami turned her head and saw Maruko's worried look. Suddenly she couldn't hold back her tears anymore and lay on Maruko's head and howled.

Damn it, it’s the height difference again! Wanzi was completely speechless inside.

However, the current situation did not allow Nami to vent. Maruko firmly pushed Nami away and pointed at the two fireballs at the end of the orange grove.

Wanzi crossed his arms and analyzed calmly: "They have been here since the navy first appeared. They look weird, they should be the fish people you mentioned. After all, I have been with them for eight years, even if I don't know what you really hide. The location and general range of the treasure must be clear."

"Aaron——" Nami squeezed out these two words through her teeth.

Nami suddenly took out a dagger from her body and stabbed her left arm hard, where was the tattoo mark of the Dragon Pirates.

"He never thought of abiding by the agreement from beginning to end!"

"He has been hooking up with the navy for a long time!"

"mean!"

"Shameless!"

Every time Nami said a word, she was about to cut the tattoo on her arm, but Maruko quickly stopped her self-mutilation.

Maruko stared at Nami seriously: "Me, Luffy, Zoro, and Sanji, we are all very strong. Even Usopp is willing to stand up for you. All of us have never been afraid to fight against the evil dragon sea." Thieves, as long as you speak——"

"As long as you speak, Nami!" Maruko repeated again.

"Maruko--" Nami's tears fell uncontrollably again. She suddenly put down the knife in her hand and hugged Maruko hard, her voice choked with sobs: "Please help me!"

The serious look on Wanzi's face turned into a super bright smile, and he nodded vigorously: "Of course!"

Suddenly, Usopp's voice came closer and closer: "Maruko--when I saw the two big fireballs, I guessed that you must be here!"

Maruko and Nami looked up, and a woman with short blue hair wearing a headband appeared at the door of the orange grove, followed by Usopp, Johnny, and Joseph.

When Johnny and Joseph saw Nami, they ran over with tears in their eyes: "Sister Nami, Aaron is the strongest pirate in the East China Sea. Don't even think about taking his head!"

Wanzi held his forehead and sighed, there are two idiots here who still haven't figured out the situation.

Nuo Qigao nervously took out the bandage from the house, bandaged Nami's arm, and touched her hair gently: "Nami, I heard from everyone in the village that a group of navy came here to ask you to buy back Money saved by the village.”

Nami looked at Nokigao in surprise: "Everyone - how do you know?"

Mr. Takeru's weak voice sounded from the side: "Actually, when you joined the Dragon Pirates, everyone already knew about it, but for fear of causing you a psychological burden, I kept it secret from you."

Mr. Ajian snatched a gun from the suffocating navy, and his injured voice was still full of energy: "Those guys trampled on your kindness wantonly, I have long been impatient with them, anyway, it is just the word "death", Fight them!"

"That's right, let's fight them!"

"That's right, I've wanted to beat up those stinking fishmen for a long time!"

"Sooner or later, I will be killed by them one day. I have long wanted to resist!"

There were sudden sounds outside the deserted orange grove. Under Aaron's rule, they were not allowed to hide weapons privately, so everyone held sticks, sickles, and pans, preparing to follow Mr. Ajian into a fight.

Usopp quietly approached Maruko and asked in a low voice: "We happened to meet a fishman when we went to the island, and we were rescued by this girl. What happened to you here?"

Wanzi's face looked as angry as the villagers: "It's a long story, but in short, just beat Aaron!"

"What!" Usopp's sudden scream attracted everyone's attention. He quickly whistled and pretended that nothing happened.

"Aaron has been ruling the twenty villages here brutally. In order to save her hometown, Nami made an agreement with Aaron - to use 100 million beli to buy back Cocosia Village. To this end, Nami started from ten He has been working hard for eight years since he was one year old. But Aaron didn't want to let Nami go, so he colluded with the navy and confiscated all the money when Nami had saved enough, so that Nami's eight years of hard work were in vain."

Maruko spoke quickly and briefly described everything to Usopp, and then looked at the high-spirited villagers.

Maruko used chakra to spread his voice to everyone's ears, not only for everyone to hear clearly, but also to show his strength: "We are Nami's partners, and we came here specifically to defeat Aaron, so the Evil Dragon Pirates Just leave it to us with confidence.”

"There is also a team of navy here, including Captain Mouse from the 17th branch of the navy. They have been colluding with the Dragon Pirates for a long time and have turned a blind eye to Aaron's evil deeds. I hope everyone can keep them under strict supervision until the dust settles. It will be decided and handed over to the Navy for punishment."

Although there are many people in the village, under Aaron's rule, they are not even allowed to hold weapons. These people are holding their own cooking utensils or farm tools. When they are in front of Aaron, there is no resistance at all. Wanzi How could the person Nami desperately protect be allowed to take risks?

Maruko's words were reasonable and made everyone calm down a little bit.

Taken the opportunity to speak: "Everyone, please help tie up these evil marines with ropes, so that we won't cause trouble to Nami and her friends!"

Jian's prestige in the village was obviously very high. As soon as he opened his mouth, everyone took action and ran home to get the rope.

Maruko turned to look at Nami and Usopp with firm eyes: "Let's go!"

Nami took out her stick, and Usopp also packed the tools in his satchel. Although Johnny and Joseph were scared, they still insisted on following Maruko to find Aaron.

"Wait a minute!" Jian called to Nami.

"Forget about others, let me and Nokigao follow." Ajian looked at Nami with kind eyes, "It's all our cowardice and wronged little Nami these years. Even if we are useless, we are still willing to Do your best.”

Just by looking at Ajian's eyes, Wanzi understood that he had made his decision and stopped trying to persuade him.

The clone can sense the direction of Maruko, and Maruko can naturally sense the position of the clone. A confident smile appeared on her lips: "Luffy is very close to here, let's go!"
