Chapter 22 - The Strawhats Depart.

After hearing what Zoro said, Mina knew that she would not go to duel with her sister Tomoe, which was very sensible.

Of course she was not joking. Sister Tomoe was the most terrifying and would show no mercy when she attacked.

She said with a smile:

"My brother's clothes are quite unique. Brother Reiji has short black hair, pale skin, a green tear mark on his face, and a white outfit with a black base. His sword is stuck on his waist."

"As for my brother Arata, he has short brown hair and brown eyes. He looks very gentle. He wears a pair of glasses and a Shinigami costume, which is a white long-sleeved haori with a black shirt underneath."

"He also has a Zanpakutō on his waist."

After hearing this, Zoro was very surprised. If he met these two people, he would definitely be able to recognize them.

After all, he already knew what they looked like and what they were wearing.

He hoped to fight them.

Before that, of course, he worked hard to improve himself.

If they were stronger than the little girl, then their kendo must be very powerful, but he didn't know to what extent.

Now he had to speed up his training. He looked at Luffy.

"Luffy, let's leave and head to the next town and buy some exercise equipment."

He had to increase his training volume.

For example, holding a barbell that is stronger than a sword could increase the strength, speed and power of his sword swing.

These could only be bought in big towns, and Kokosia Village was obviously just a small village, so it was impossible for them to be available there.

He was already a little impatient to go there.

These two people were his next targets. As for Hawkeye, of course he couldn't see their backs yet.

He was really too weak.

When Luffy heard that Zoro wanted to leave, he looked at Nami reluctantly.

Finally, he sighed and walked towards the back mountain coast that Nami mentioned.

Zoro followed immediately.

Usopp looked at Nami and knew that they had different futures.

After that, he would have to take care of the responsibilities of a navigator as well.

Fortunately, he still knew a little bit, at least he wouldn't capsize in the sea.

And Sanji was even more reluctant.

If Miss Nami was not there, much of the fun of his trip to the sea would be lost.

That kind of life was so unfortunate, and the most important thing was that this little girl actually wanted to pull a beautiful girl like Nami to marry her father.

Then Nami could only be the second wife or concubine if she married him.

This was disrespectful to beautiful women.

So even though it went against Nami's wishes, he still extended the invitation again.

"Ms. Nami, are you really not going to consider it?"

Nami said with a pout.

"Forget it. I can't be a pirate."

She still couldn't get over that hurdle in her heart, even though her goal was to take risks and travel the sea.

She also could not accept the title of pirate.

Mina had a very happy look on her face.

She hoped Sister Nami wouldn't become a pirate. Then she could bring her back to her father. Her father would definitely praise her for being so sensible.

Sanji obviously noticed the little girl's excitement.

This little girl must be planning something bad against Miss Nami, he warned Nami.

"Ms. Nami, please don't marry this guy's father."

Nami said, waving her hand.

"I will take care of this myself. Please follow your companions."

Sanji looked at the guys who had already walked far away and had no choice but to follow them.

He wanted to go to sea.

Since Nami didn't want to be a pirate, he couldn't force her.

Forcing was disrespectful to a woman.

At this time, Nojiko and Genzo came over.

Nojiko looked at Nami and asked.

"Nami, have you said goodbye to your friends?"

She still thought it was better for Nami not to become a pirate, because if she did, she would be wanted by the navy.

As her elder sister, she naturally didn't want her to do such a dangerous thing.

Besides, it would be difficult for Nami to accept the title of pirate.

After all, what happened to Bellmère left a deep impression on her mind. It was a pain, and it was also a pain in her own heart.

Nami nodded.

"I've made it clear to them. I won't be in the same group with them anymore."

Genzo's face was full of happiness.

"Let's have a party tonight."

"We can take back the money that Arlong has taken from us. Let's use it to hold a party to celebrate the liberation of the village and the defeat of Arlong."

At this time, other villagers rushed over and also cheered and applauded.

After Arlong was defeated, their lives would return to peace, no longer the previous situation where they were at the mercy of others and their lives were in danger at any time.

Of course, all this was thanks to this little girl. It was she who miraculously killed Captain Arlong and the main cadres, so they could be so happy now.

After the villagers took out the money from Arlong's castle, they took back the part that belonged to their own village, and later returned the rest to other villages because the other villages were also under cruel rule.

They couldn't feel comfortable taking this money.

Then Genzo led the villagers to make fire, cook, slaughter pigs and chickens, prepare sumptuous meals, and hold a big party in the evening.

The banquet lasted until midnight, and the villagers drank heartily, telling each other about their feelings and their aspirations for the future.

Genzo sat alone in a corner, drinking, with some tear marks on his face.

If only Bell-Mère were still alive.

Pity.

But now the Arlong Pirates had been defeated, Arlong and those cadres had been captured and seriously injured, so there was no need to worry about them escaping.

Bell-Mère's revenge had been taken.

Nojiko came over.

Looking at Genzo like this, she knew that he was thinking about sad things, and the one who made him most sad was probably her mother.

She looked at Genzo and said.

"The village has been saved all these years thanks to you. Otherwise, the village might have been destroyed by Arlong long ago."

These fish-men not only burned, killed and looted, but also aroused the anger of the villagers, who wanted to resist with force and even die together.

If Genzo hadn't stopped these villagers, they would have sought revenge on Arlong long ago, and in that case they would have been slaughtered in vain.

Those ordinary fishmen could still deal with them by relying on their numerical advantage, but with Arlong and the three cadres, they could not be defeated simply by outnumbering others.

Genzo said with a smile.

"After all, I am the village policeman. It is my duty to help everyone. Bellmère certainly does not want the village to be destroyed."

When Nojiko heard about Bellmère, she felt a little gloomy.

If only her mother were here, she was a few years older than Nami.

Her parents had both died at that time, and she found Nami, who was still alive in a corner. She held the baby Nami in her arms and walked through the ruins, with a dark future ahead of her.

After all, she was still young at that time, what could she do?

It was difficult for them to support themselves, let alone raising a baby. It was the appearance of Bellmère that gave them a chance to survive.

It is no exaggeration to say that she is his and Nami's biological mother.

If she were still alive, it would be great. Her orange orchard would be thriving.

It's a pity that she didn't get the chance to repay her.

Even looking at the orange grove only brought her sadness.

After all, her mother was gone, but the orange orchard was still there.

Seeing things reminded her of the past. Whenever she saw that garden, she felt empty inside, as if she had lost something.
