Spittle flew everywhere.
However, Nami ignored Colonel Nezumi's words from beginning to end.
Her beautiful eyes were perfectly calm.
Her gaze was only coldly fixed on Arlong opposite her.
She remained silent regarding Colonel Nezumi's slanders as well.
"Hahahahaha."
"Is this the truth, Nami??"
"I wondered how you managed to raise 100 million berries. So you stole it from Colonel Nezumi—how despicable!!!"
"Don't you know that Colonel Nezumi is a friend of our Arlong Pirates??"
"I don't care if you steal from others, but stealing Berries from our friends is absolutely unacceptable! I now order you to quickly return this 100 million berries to our friend!!!"
Arlong feigned a righteous appearance.
He and Colonel Nezumi played a duet.
Nami stood still, coldly watching the two of them.
She also remained silent.
Although she had guessed that even if she collected 100 million berries, Arlong would not easily keep his promise.
But when reality unfolded like this, she realized she still didn't understand Arlong enough.
But now.
None of that mattered anymore.
If Arlong could keep his promise today, she thought she would just let it go.
But since he wouldn't keep his promise.
Then she couldn't be blamed.
Arlong and Colonel Nezumi grew more and more animated as they spoke.
In the end, they were pointing at Nami's nose and scolding her.
"Arlong is right, you thief! Hand over this 100 million berries to me obediently, and I can be merciful and hand you over to Arlong for disposal."
"Since you're a member of the Arlong Pirates, he won't do anything to you, but if you fall into my hands, I'll make you wish for death but be unable to die."
And seeing Arlong and Colonel Nezumi's clumsy acting,
The surrounding Fishmen covered their mouths, afraid to laugh out loud.
Anyone could see that the two of them were ganging up to trick Nami.
Of course, they certainly wouldn't dare to expose them.
Otherwise, they would be the ones to die.
"Nami, how could you do such a thing??? Colonel Nezumi is our good friend!!!"
"Why don't you quickly return the money to Colonel Nezumi? That way, Big Brother Arlong might still be able to plead for you. Otherwise, no one can save you today!!!"
"That's right, Nami, just admit your mistake quickly!!"
The surrounding Fishmen mocked her without cover up.
Their disgusting faces made one want to vomit.
After an unknown amount of time, perhaps tired from talking,
Everyone finally stopped.
At this moment, all eyes were on Nami.
Nami had been silent since just now. Now they could see how Nami would react.
A self-deprecating smile appeared on Nami's face.
"It's truly impossible to hold any illusions about you Pirate Crew!"
"It's laughable that I even thought you would keep your promise after I truly collected 100 million berries. Now it seems I was truly overthinking it."
As her words fell, a hint of relief flashed in Nami's eyes.
