Chapter 347

~5 min read 868 words

The once towering and magnificent Arlong Park had also been cleanly split in half by force.

Inside that massive swimming pool.

Under the lightning strike, the high temperature instantly boiled the pool water.

The scattered fish-man corpses inside were boiled until white, yet they strangely emitted an eerie fish soup aroma?

And damn, it actually smelled quite good?

"Ugh!!"

The young ones who couldn't hold it back immediately bent over and vomited violently on the spot.

"Nami!"

Nojiko called out anxiously.

Up in the sky, Nami, who was still constantly waving her arms and slashing lightning down to the ground, suddenly froze in shock.

Looking down, she saw her sister Nojiko gazing at her with a face full of worry.

"Nami, Arlong is already dead!"

"You can stop now."

Nojiko was deeply worried.

She feared Nami would deviate from the correct path and walk into madness.

"Dead... is he?"

Nami murmured, then turned her gaze toward the seaside, toward that pile of corpses long since carbonized.

It seemed one could still faintly make out Arlong's 'form'.

"He's dead! Come down quickly, Nami!"

Nojiko kept waving her hands.

As Nami slowly descended, she suddenly caught sight of the 'fish soup' in the pool, and instantly an indescribable sense of nausea surged up her throat.

'Waaah' "Five Six Zero" she went, bending over and vomiting profusely.

"Let's go, we're going home."

Nojiko tightly embraced Nami, tears streaming down her face.

"Mm, let's go home."

"It's over."

Looking at the already utterly destroyed Arlong Park, Gen sighed deeply.

"Mm, it is over."

The village doctor, Takagi, pushed up his glasses.

Thinking back, that damn Arlong Park was something they had built together with the surrounding villages.

Those days of enslavement were still vivid in their minds.

The villagers wanted to see if there were any survivors, but Lu Shu stopped them.

"Go back, don't come here."

"Someone will come later to handle the aftermath."

Who?

Who else but the rats?

For now, it was better not to involve Nami in the matter of Arlong's death.

After all, he couldn't guard Nami every single day.

Giving her the power of lightning was meant to frame the Rumble-Rumble Fruit.

No one would associate such a powerful Logia-type user with Nami, especially one wielding a Devil Fruit that had nearly vanished.

Let's just pin Arlong's death on some passing 'mysterious person'!

After all, due to Jinbe, the Marines had been turning a blind eye to Arlong's actions.

Afterwards, Nami even dug up all the over seventy million Berries she had saved up over these years.

Then she distributed it among everyone.

This made Gen and the others exclaim that 'Nami has gone mad'.

After all, for the stingy Nami, even trying to take a single tangerine from her would get you beaten until a huge lump grew on your head.

Yet now, she had actually brought out the nearly one hundred million Berries she had worked so hard to accumulate.

If this isn't a broken brain, then what is?

The village still refused to take Nami's money.

Although everyone knew clearly in their hearts that within those seventy million were sums of money that had mysteriously gone missing from each of their households.

When they were young, Nojiko had already told them the truth.

But for Nami's sake, everyone pretended not to know; that money was intentionally let her steal.

Unable to support her openly, they could only do this secretly.

Just consider it lightening the burden on her shoulders a little.

Even if it was negligible.

In the end, the handling of this money was left to Nojiko.

"You're leaving?"

Nami stared in dumbfounded shock.

You're not even staying for a meal?

No!

Shouldn't this rough gem be collecting a fee?

We've only just had a cup of tea, and you're already leaving?

For some reason, Nami felt very uncomfortable; could it be that my figure isn't good enough?

"What, can't bear to part with me? Or are you offering yourself up?"

Lu Shu teased with a smile.

Then he raised his hand and pinched Nami's delicate chin.

This...

Should I excuse myself?

And then shut the windows, doors, and everything else tightly, just to dampen the sound a little?

Nojiko's face turned red.

How could she not know about such things?

"Go away! Who, who said they can't bear to part with you..."

Nami's face flushed with shame; she shook her neck and broke free from Lu Shu's large hand.

"Besides, who said I was talking about you? I was talking about Carina, okay!!"

"Don't flatter yourself."

"Hee-hee~ I'm very interested in Shu's World and have decided to settle there."

Carina narrowed her eyes and smiled.

"Anyway, in this world, I have no relatives or attachments; I am all alone."

"Moreover, it has become quite boring."

"Here, take this."

Carina had already decided to go live in Teyvat.

As she finished speaking, she handed the small notebook from her bosom to Nami.

"What?"

"These are the locations of a few of my treasure vaults."

"They're all yours now."

"Hee-hee~"

"Are you really leaving?"

Nami was dumbfounded.

This woman Carina had left all her treasures to her; she was truly determined to leave.
