Cocosia Village, on the coast.

"Huh...I'm finally back!"

Nami stretched his arms to his forehead, wiped some sweat, and exhaled.

Then he picked up a large bag of packed treasures and jumped off the Golden Melly and walked towards the village.

The roads in the village are dilapidated, the houses on both sides are crooked, and they are covered with wooden patches everywhere.

There was no one on the road in the whole village, and it looked empty and desolate.

Nami walked on the road full of signs of destruction, gritting her teeth tighter and tighter.

"We must buy this village back from Arlong."

Nami was extremely determined.

At this time, she noticed the villagers hiding in the house and secretly observing her, and she couldn't help but feel depressed.

"Everyone still hates me as a member of Arlong's group. They all avoid me."

"But it doesn't matter, I can buy this village back soon."

...

There is a small independent house on the outskirts of Cocosia Village. The outside of the house is filled with vigorous orange trees.

Nami walked through the village and came all the way here.

At this time, a woman with blue hair and slightly dark skin who was tending the orange tree near the house suddenly heard footsteps.

When he walked out of the orange tree, he saw Nami and immediately rushed towards her while shouting in surprise.

"Nami, you're back!"

Nami smiled and hugged the woman tightly.

"Nogigao, I'm back!"

...

Under an orange tree near the cabin.

Nami squatted on the ground and dug up the ground, revealing a pile of shiny gold and silver treasures.

Nami opened the package she brought back and poured it in.

“I gained a lot this time!”

Nokigao, who was standing aside, looked at the large bag of treasures that Nami poured in and said.

Nami replied while covering the treasure again.

"Yeah! About 7 million beli."

"There are still 7 million beli left. If I go out again, I will be able to save 100 million beli to buy the village."

Nami's eyes were full of hope, and her little face stained by mud showed a happy smile.

Seeing this scene, Nuo Qigao felt sad for a while, and the eyes he looked at Nami were full of heartache.

"Go back, Nami. I'll cook for you."

Nuo Qigao said something, then turned and walked towards the wooden house.

Nami also followed closely with happiness and satisfaction.

...

Near Cocosia Village, there is a territory occupied by fishmen, the Arlong Empire.

At this moment, in the Arlong Empire.

Under a towering building like a pagoda.

Arlong, the sawtooth shark murloc, was sitting with Colonel Marine, the mouse-like Colonel, who had an adulterous look on his face.

Arlong took out a handful of bills and handed them over.

"This is this month's money, take it!"

Colonel Mouse glanced at the handful of banknotes, smiled immediately, and said while reaching out to take it.

"Zhizhizhizhi... You really know how to deal with the world, so I won't be polite."

Arlong laughed.

"Hahahaha... Why are you so polite now? The beautiful world is a world of money."

"Money is a good thing and the most reliable thing, right?!"

Colonel Mouse also echoed.

"Squeak, squeak, squeak...that's right!"

At this time, a kissing fish man suddenly walked up to Arlong and whispered.

"Brother Arlong, a fishman reported that Nami is back and brought back a big bag of things. I guess it should be the treasure she harvested this time."

Arlong stopped laughing when he heard this, with thoughts in his eyes as he recalled.

"Speaking of which, Nami has been with our Arlong gang for eight years."

"She must have accumulated a lot of treasure in the past eight years, right?!"

"It shouldn't be much different from the 100 million Baileys I promised her!"

As he spoke, Arlong suddenly showed a strange smile and looked at Colonel Mouse who was sitting opposite and counting money.

"Colonel Mouse, I'm afraid I have to trouble you with something..."

...

On the outskirts of Cocosia Village, inside a wooden house.

Nami and Nokigao were sitting on a wooden table, eating happily.

"Nami, you look different this time when you come back!"

Nuo Qigao was holding a bowl in his hand, but his eyes kept falling on Nami who was eating opposite him, and he suddenly spoke.

Nami raised his head in confusion and asked.

"Huh? Is there any difference?"

Nokigao nodded slightly and talked about his feelings.

"You used to always feel tired and depressed when you came back."

"But this time he looks very relaxed! Did you encounter something happy?"

Nami couldn't help but be startled when she heard this. After Nokigao reminded her, she realized that she was indeed surprisingly relaxed this time, and her mood was not as heavy as before.

She couldn't help but think of Luffy, Uta and the others.

Suddenly the corners of his mouth raised and he smiled slightly.

"When I went out this time, I met a group of strange guys!"

Seeing Nami's appearance, Noqigao's eyes couldn't help but light up. This was the first time she saw Nami look genuinely happy after Nami joined Arlong's group.

He put down the bowls and chopsticks, supported his chin with his hands, and said.

"Na! I said Nami!"

"Tell me what happened to you this time!"

"I'm very curious! Those strange guys you met..."

Nami thought for a while, and it seemed like a good idea to tell Nokigao these interesting things, so she thought about where to start.

Suddenly thinking of something, Nami's eyes suddenly lit up and she said excitedly.

"That's right! Let's start with that idiot captain!"

"I'm telling you, that stupid captain..."

...

"Ha ha ha ha......"

"Ha ha ha ha......"

In the wooden house, laughter continued, and I don’t know how long it lasted.

Nuo Qi said with a high laugh like a silver bell.

"Hahahaha...Is that captain such an idiot?"

"Knowing that you are a treasure thief, he invited you to be his navigator."

Nami nodded repeatedly.

"Yes, yes! He is really a huge idiot!"

"At that time in Mengka's office, I felt that my secret was about to be exposed. But the idiot captain didn't realize that I was lying. I was so scared that my heart was beating so fast!"

...

"Hahahahaha..."

Pleasant laughter echoed in the room again.

After a long time.

"call......"

Nuo Qigao took a long breath to relieve the fatigue after being tired from laughing.

"Nami, you like them very much!"

At this time, Nuo Qigao suddenly said something.

Nami was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then a happy smile appeared on his face and he nodded heavily.

“Like it very much!”

“When I’m with them, I always seem to be so happy!”

There were memories in Nami's eyes, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously raised, looking very happy.

Seeing Nami's longing and happy look, Nokigao felt sad in his heart and said.

"Nami, you don't have to live so tiringly."

"As long as we don't care..."

boom!

Nami slammed the table, stood up holding the table, looked at Nokigao angrily, and said seriously.

"Nogigao, I won't allow you to say such things again."

"I will definitely liberate you and liberate this village from Arlong!"

"absolute!"

Nokigao was extremely moved, her eyes were slightly moist, and she murmured Nami's name.

"Nami..."

At this moment, they suddenly heard footsteps coming from outside the door, and a somewhat obscene voice sounded at the same time.

"Zhizhizhizhi...Is anyone here?"
