Pirate: This Marine has two Rinnegan.

After a while, Nami said, her voice trembling slightly.

"It's...it's gunshots, coming from the village chief's house. Bellemere is still there!!"

*Snap!* Nojiko grabbed Nami's hand again and ran frantically toward the village chief's house.

The village chief's house,

Almost all the villagers had gathered here, and they were now looking at the group of fish-men with sinister smiles, like devils, with fear in their eyes.

Aron held a gun in his hand, pointing it at the villagers in front of him. He stood with Bellemere's head on his foot and was laughing wildly. Around him were the corpses of several villagers.

"Hahaha, what a weak race! Compared to the noble merfolk, you are nothing but ants!"

After saying that, he bent down, pressed the muzzle of the gun against Bellemere's head, whose face was covered in blood, and said coldly,

"You damned human woman, how dare you lead these people to escape and even defy the noble fish-men? What? Don't you welcome the great fish-men race?"

With a gun pointed at his head, Bellemere coughed up a mouthful of blood, coughed violently a few times, and said without any fear,

"What noble fish-men? You're just a bunch of damned pirates! The Navy will capture you all and lock you up in the deep-sea prison sooner or later!"

Upon hearing about the deep-sea prison, Ah Long's expression turned extremely grim; he had just been released from there.

Bellemere's words reminded him of some horrific memories from his time in prison, not only the physical torture he endured, but also the immense mental anguish he suffered.

Inside, he constantly felt like he was about to die. No one treated him like a living being. It can be said that his experience in the deep-sea prison has become a nightmare that he can never shake off for the rest of his life.

This woman dared to reopen his wounds again, even mentioning the navy, which he hated the most.

Thinking of this, Aaron increased the pressure on his foot, and the intense pain caused Bellemere to let out a shrill scream.

However, she quickly suppressed her anger, biting her lip so hard that blood even seeped from Bellemere's lips.

Seeing how tenacious this human woman was, Ah Long couldn't help but feel annoyed. In his view, the more fiercely this human woman resisted, the more he felt a sense of contempt for the fish-men.

Suddenly, Ah Long thought of something very interesting. Didn't this woman just mention the Navy? It seems her hopes come from the Navy? That's really interesting.

With a wicked grin, Ah Long's shark-like face looked even more sinister and terrifying, and he bent his body even lower.

Looking at Bellemere at his feet, he said in a playful tone,

"Human woman, it seems you have a lot of confidence in the Navy?"

Bellemere struggled to open her eyes, glanced sideways at Aaron, and said firmly,

"Justice will surely prevail, and that will be the end for you pirates!"

"Hahahahahaha!"

Upon hearing this, Aaron covered his face and burst into laughter, even laughing until tears streamed down his face. After laughing for a while, he looked up and scanned the villagers in front of him. He could sense that these humans had become noticeably more invigorated after hearing Bellemere's words.

"hehe."

With a disdainful sneer, Aaron deliberately raised his voice at Bellemere at his feet,

"It's ridiculous! Do you know that I was allowed to come here with the tacit approval of your navy? You can't be unaware of that rat colonel in charge here, can you? Just a small box of treasure and a few threats, and he eagerly pointed me to a village, which just so happens to be this place!"

"What did you say!?"

Bellemere stared wide-eyed, finding it hard to accept this cruel reality.

"Hahaha, how pathetic! The navy you placed so much hope in is actually the culprit who betrayed you? How despicable, humans! Aren't you just a lowly race that loves to betray others?!"

Two streams of tears flowed from her eyes. The feeling of her faith collapsing had driven Bellemere to utter despair. Her tense body relaxed, and all her previous fighting spirit vanished.

Seeing that Bellemere was completely desperate, Aaron felt a surge of satisfaction. "Boss Tiger, did you see that? I've avenged you! I'll make these humans taste the bitterness of betrayal!"

For him, nothing is more satisfying than destroying humanity spiritually.

Since the human woman had given up, Ah Long wasn't going to waste any more time with her. He gently tightened his finger and deliberately pulled the trigger slowly, wanting to torture this hateful human woman one last time.

Bellemere also sensed the approach of death. She was not afraid of death. Now, the only people she cared about were Nojiko and Nami.

"Close your eyes," Bellemere silently recited in her mind.

"Nojiko, Nami, this may be the end for me. I'm so sorry I couldn't be there for you as you grew up. I wasn't a good mother, but I still hope you can live well. I love you!"

However, the next two childish shouts completely shattered Bellemere's spirits.

"No! Let go of Bellemere!"

That voice... was it Nojiko and Nami?! Bellemere prayed frantically in her heart, praying that she was already dead and that the voice she had just heard was an illusion.

However, reality is always cruel, and today is destined to be Bellemere's most desperate day.

"Oh? Aren't these the two brats from before? I almost forgot about them, but they've delivered themselves right to my doorstep."

Arlong stopped what he was doing, his finger twirling the pistol in the trigger, watching Nojiko and Nami rush towards him with amusement.

Just as he was about to speak, Bellemere beneath his feet suddenly unleashed a tremendous force, breaking free and charging towards Nojiko and Nami.

*Slap! Slap!* Two crisp slaps rang out, leaving a bright red handprint on each of Nojiko's and Nami's faces.

Bellemere's face was a gruesome sight, a mixture of blood and tears. She roared at Nojiko and Nami.

"Why, why are you all so disobedient?! Why did you come back?!"

Noji gripped Chiga's kunai tightly in her hand, covering her slapped face without saying a word, while Nami shouted loudly.

"Because you are our mother!"

Bellemere was stunned and stood frozen in place.

"Oh? I didn't expect these two little devils to be your daughters. That's hilarious, hahaha!"

Aaron didn't take Bellemere's sudden outburst to heart, because he had thought of something more interesting.

He slowly walked up to Bellemere and the other two, grabbed Nami by the neck, and lifted her into the air.

"Let...let me go, Bellemere, save me! I'm in so much pain!"

Nami frantically slapped Arlong's arm, but her strength was nothing compared to Arlong's, barely even a tickle.

Ignoring Nami, Arlong looked at Bellemere with a wicked grin and said,

"Do you want me to let her go? If you do, kneel down here and shout that the Navy is trash and humans are the lowest of races, then commit suicide in front of me. How about that? Trading your life for the lives of these two brats and that bunch of humans should be a pretty good deal, right? No need to thank me, I'm just that merciful!"

"No! Bellemere, don't agree to him!"

Upon hearing such cruel words, Nami immediately stopped struggling and desperately begged Bellemere not to agree.

Bellemere looked at Nami, who was being held in the air by Arlong, then turned to look at Nojiko and the villagers. A resolute glint flashed in her eyes. She slowly got up and walked towards Arlong.

"No! Bellemere, I beg you, please don't! Someone please save us, waaaaaah!"

Nami screamed wildly, while Arlong watched excitedly as Bellemere walked towards them step by step.

Nojiko, who had been silent all along, stared intently at Bellemere's retreating figure, the Flying Thunder God Kunai in her hand now deeply embedded in her thigh.

Seeing Bellemere pick up the pistol and about to kneel down, she could no longer hold back. She pulled the kunai from her thigh, and blood gushed from Nojiko's leg, but she didn't care at all.

Nojiko closed his eyes and, with all his might, shouted to the sky.

"Chiga-nii, where are you?!"

puff!

As soon as he finished speaking, a thick blue arm flew into the air in a circle, accompanied by Ah Long's shrill scream.

Nojiko opened her eyes with trembling hands, and what came into view was the hem of a black robe fluttering in the wind.

A gentle voice rang out.

"Sashiblindana (Long time no see), Nojiko, Nami."

Tears streamed uncontrollably from Nuoqi Gao's eyes as she desperately threw herself into the figure's arms.

Feeling this long-lost warm embrace, she felt as if she had lost all her strength in an instant.

Nojiko buried her head in Chiga's arms and whispered something.

"Sashiblidana, Chiga-go!"

Chapter 53, the Fishman? That's it?

"Brother Qianhe!"

Upon landing on the ground, Nami saw Chiga appear and immediately rushed over to squeeze into his arms.

Chika held the two little ones in her arms, one in each arm, and waited quietly for them to calm down.

After crying for a while, Nami raised her face, which was covered in tears like a little kitten, and the first thing she said was...

"Chiga-nii, why do you always call Nokiko first?"

"..."

Chiga broke out in a cold sweat, thinking to herself, "What kind of time is this to still notice this? It seems Nami still harbors quite a bit of resentment about this."

Nojiko also lifted her head from Chiga's embrace and stared at Chiga intently.

Noticing Nojiko's gaze, Chiga gave her a reassuring smile. Then, he gently placed the two little ones on the ground. Next, Chiga turned to look at the group of fishmen behind him, his Rinnegan eyes chillingly cold.

Ah Long, pale-faced, clutched his shoulder where he had lost his right arm. Seeing Qian He turn around, he stared intently at him and said...

"Who are you? How dare you attack me?!"

Chiga ignored him and instead turned to Medici on her shoulder, saying...

"Medice, do you like to eat fish?"

"Meow (Master, these fish look disgusting, I can't bring myself to eat them...)"

Nodding, Chiga seemed to be talking to herself.

"pity."

Seeing that the human in front of him had severed his arm and was ignoring him, Ah Long lost his mind.

He opened his mouth wide and used his only remaining arm to remove the serrated teeth from his mouth. Surprisingly, after the serrated teeth were removed, new serrated teeth grew back in their original positions.

Holding the serrated edge in his hand, A-Long suddenly charged towards Qian-He, pointing the serrated edge at him and shouting,

"Die, human, Iron Teeth!"

"boring."
