Sailing: This Bounce-Bounce Fruit is a little different.

At this moment, Yosa, having regained his senses, saw a tall tower appearing in the far distance through his telescope and immediately shouted, "That...that's the tower in Arlong Park!"

"Brother Hai! Should we drive over there?"

"Hmm... let's go straight to Alon Park!"

"what……"

Upon hearing this, Yosar froze on the spot, stammering, "Brother Hai... Brother Hai! Aren't you going to reconsider?"

"I think it would be better to find Zoro and the others first, and then go to Arlong Park after everyone has gathered. Otherwise, going there without knowing anything about the enemy might be too..."

"Then you can go find Zoro and the others..."

With his eyes slightly closed, Huang Hai recovered the strength he had just expended and said with a faint smile, "No matter what happens to Nami, the fastest way to resolve this is to address the root cause of the problem!"

"I don't like dealing with messy things. I only have one goal: to lead all the crew members to the Grand Line..."

"As for how strong Aaron and the others are, can they possibly surpass Hawkeye Mihawk? As long as they're not at that level, then for now, we have nothing to fear..."

"..."

Looking at Huang Hai's nonchalant demeanor and words, Johnny was speechless for a moment.

Recalling the shocking scene just now, he fell silent.

Perhaps the other person is right!

Because of their weak strength, they always like to hesitate and consider things carefully before doing something that might be dangerous.

But for powerful individuals, no amount of consideration will help; regardless of the intelligence, they will ultimately have to face each other.

So, what am I afraid of?

Thinking of this, Yosa became somewhat withdrawn.

"Do you really want to go?"

Sanji glanced at Yossa, who was lost in thought, stood up, dusted off his trousers, and calmly asked, "Is there anything I can do?"

"Of course, it's about fighting..."

Huang Hai closed his eyes and smiled slightly, "But before that, could you please prepare some food to replenish my energy? I've been eating since morning and I'm really quite hungry..."

"Leave it to me..."

Sanji gave an OK sign and took out portable kitchen utensils from his bag to start cooking.

"Yosha or stir-fried bean sprouts?"

"Um... thank you, Sanji-nii-san..."

"Let's eat and drink our fill and get ready to hit the road!"

"No!!!"

"..."

Ignoring their casual conversation, Huang Hai, with his double pupils, gazed at the fleeting breaths of life in the far distance and frowned slightly, saying:

"I just don't know if Kaya sensed it..."

……

……

Aaron Park.

In the courtyard.

clap clap-

Like a sonic boom, streaks of blood-stained whips lashed Nami, who was bound in mid-air.

The once pretty and lovely woman now had bloody whip marks all over her body.

Hahaha!

"Did you enjoy this 'feast', Nami...?"

Not far away, Ah Long, sitting on a sun lounger, laughed wildly, a very satisfied smile on his shark-like face.

"Didn't you want to spend 100 million Berries to buy Cocoyasi Village? Just hand over the money obediently, and that shabby village will naturally be yours. Why aren't you satisfied?"

A muffled groan!

Awakening from the excruciating pain, the beautiful woman stared despairingly at Ah Long and the man beside him with his severed arm, [Hundred Plans] Kro. She immediately closed her eyes and remained silent, enduring the repeated torment of the whip.

From the moment she met Kro, she knew that no matter whether she handed over the hidden gold and silver treasures or not, that guy Aaron would definitely not let the villagers of Cocoyasi go.

In particular, Ah Long's words, "What would possibly give up on her, this cash cow?" shattered all her hopes.

I'm tired! Aunt Bellemere... I'm really tired...

"I'm sorry, Nokiko... we couldn't achieve our goal..."

Everyone... I've let you down...

Silently, as if she couldn't feel the pain, Nami, her heart filled with despair, bit her lip hard and couldn't stop the tears from falling.

I'm so sorry, Hai...

Zoro… Kaya… Usopp…

I hope we'll have the chance to meet again in the next life...

When the time comes, I will definitely be the best navigator for you...

"stop!"

Arlong waved his hand, stopping the fishman wielding the whip beside him, and gave a disapproving sidelong glance at Kro, who seemed to be leisurely sipping tea across from him.

"Kroo! Are you sure she's hidden a treasure worth over 100 million Berries?"

"She's my most valuable cash cow. If you hadn't suddenly appeared, she wouldn't have ended up like this..."

"Oh? Really?!"

The teacup was gently placed on the table. Kuro pushed up his glasses, which had slipped slightly, with his left wrist, glanced at Nami, and chuckled, "Even if I weren't here, once you got that 100 million Berries, would you really let go of this cash cow?"

“Everyone’s not stupid, Ah Long! You should know what I want…”

cut!

"Isn't it just a nautical chart and a logbook for the trip to Mermaid Island?!"

Ah Long pursed his shark-like lips and frowned, saying, "The item is indeed with me, but if you want it, you haven't yet delivered what I want!"

"One hundred million Berries has been delivered to you..."

Kro took an elegant sip of tea, pointed at Nami, and chuckled, "I went to great lengths to get this information. If you can't extract it from her, I can have my hypnotist help, but..."

"As a price! You must first hand over either a nautical chart or a nautical logbook!!"

"That 100 million was originally mine!!"

Seeing that the other party was threatening him with money, Ah Long suppressed his anger and growled, "If it weren't for the fact that we've had a fairly pleasant working relationship these past few years, believe me, I'd kill you right now!"

"But you don't know where the money is, do you?"

Setting down his teacup casually, Kro chuckled, "And, after it's all done! I'll give you all the more than two hundred million Berries I've collected in the East Blue over the years!!"

"You should know that money is not important to me..."

snort!

What does this guy want to do?

Seeing that the other party's three sentences all contained a desire for nautical charts, Ah Long was immediately filled with doubt and uncertainty.

After all, he originally came from Fishman Island. No matter how much he hated those bastards, he didn't want anyone to take the nautical charts from him and then wreak havoc on the island.

"What exactly do you want, Kro?!"

"You've never lingered here for so many days before, all because of that nautical chart..."

"This is none of your business!"

Kro gave a cold look.

You only have two choices! Trade or don't trade?

"Even if you don't trade, do you think I can't find [Fishman Island]? It just means it will take a little longer to sail..."

"And you... won't get a single peley!!"

As soon as these words came out.

Immediately, Ah Long, who was known for his bad reputation, fell silent with a gloomy expression, and then a strange smile appeared on his lips.

clap clap!
