Are you going back on your word?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nami burned with rage, yet instinctively looked down at her treasure chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was empty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This can’t be!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I just checked it—right here!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nami’s face went blank, then flooded with panic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The chest should have held treasure worth over one hundred million Berries—years of relentless effort, countless near-death escapes, all gathered to amass that sum.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that money, she could have bought back her village from A Long , sparing everyone their suffering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everything was gone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Nami~”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A Long  seized Nami’s hair, yanking her up; watching her writhe in agony, he felt immense satisfaction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once, long ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On Fish-Man Island, humans had done the same to his people—ignoring their screams and tears, dragging them away to be sold across the world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Either as lab specimens, or slaves in sunless caves, or even with limbs severed, turned into… exhibits for human amusement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perfect works of art!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A Long  sighed inwardly, then leaned close to Nami’s ear and whispered:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ll spare you this time. But if you dare try again, the price to redeem your village will double.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It was you!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nami clenched her lips, glaring at A Long  with fury:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You stole my treasure!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Are you out of your mind?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A Long  sneered:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ve been right beside you the whole time—just met with the rat. When did I have time to steal from you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Think harder. Who else could it be?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nami froze, then gritted her teeth, forcing out a name she refused to believe:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Kali Na!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It was her!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A Long ’s grin widened; he lightly patted Nami’s cheek and said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ll give you half a month. If you don’t find it, the next price to redeem your village will be…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A Long  extended two fingers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Two hundred million Berries!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s impossible!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nami gasped, raising her voice instinctively—only to see A Long ’s third finger extend:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Change of plan. If you don’t recover the money within half a month, the price for Cocoa Village triples.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Three hundred million Berries!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Four—!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ll get it back!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nami clenched her lips, ignoring the pain in her scalp, and answered without hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She didn’t know how much more A Long  would demand—but did she have a choice?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was never a fair deal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But as long as she couldn’t bear to watch the people of Cocoa Village die, she had no choice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Shark hahahaha~”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A Long  let out his signature cruel laugh, then hurled Nami into the dirt pit and turned away slowly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Minutes later, as A Long  faded into the distance, heart-wrenching sobs rose from the orange grove.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A Long !”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A Long !”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A Long !”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nokogao rushed over, but froze the moment she saw Nami’s figure; even without knowing what happened, she felt Nami’s despair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Half an hour later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nami staggered out of the pit, teeth clenched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nokogao said nothing—only pulled Nami into her arms, gritting her teeth: “Nami~”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If you’re tired, run away. You’ve only lost a bunch of people who hated you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Aren’t worth it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nami said nothing, only held Nokogao tightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nokogao patted her back, her body trembling faintly—she felt the dampness against her chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Cry.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’ll help.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Nokogao woke, Nami was gone. On the bedside lay a letter, drawn with a smiling face and an orange.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ll recover those treasures—even if it means breaking ties with my best friend.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nokogao stared at the words, unable to breathe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Slowly, she tucked the letter away, stepped outside, and walked to the village constable’s patrol hall. She knocked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seconds later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A thin, middle-aged man with a windmill on his head and a face scarred by blades opened the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was Jian, the village constable of Cocoa Village.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But since A Long ’s arrival and the Marines’ collusion with the A Long  Pirates, the position had become a joke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet this man never gave up—even at the cost of his life—he protected the villagers, the two daughters he cherished like his own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Jian, Nami hasn’t given up. I don’t know what happened to her, but it seems she lost everything overnight…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Even if she meets A Long ’s demand, do you really think he’ll hand over Cocoa Village?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jian shook his head:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Impossible. How much trust can you place in a pirate’s word?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ll find out what happened.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Be careful.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nokogao nodded, but couldn’t help asking:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I don’t understand—everyone knows what Nami’s trying to do, yet they still insult her. I even saw children cursing her.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jian halted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Nokogao, every kindness we show her only deepens her bond with this village.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If one day she’s truly broken and wants to leave, how will she bear the guilt?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jian walked away quickly, leaving Nokogao standing frozen at the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the top floor of A Long ’s Leyuan , a pile of dirt-stained treasure lay on A Long ’s desk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He picked up a handkerchief and carefully wiped each item clean.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With every piece he set down, Nami’s expression from last night flashed in his mind—pleasure welled up inside him:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Nami~”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My navigator. My doll.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“When you finally realize this was all a lie—that you’ll never buy back your village—what will your face look like?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Will it be like my people’s? Will you make me feel pity?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But why do humans never feel that way?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crash!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A Long crushed the gemstone in his hand, his face twisted into a grotesque mask:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Humans without feeling are the lowest, most inferior creatures in this world!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, a knock came at the door. A Long’s expression remained blank as he spoke:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Enter!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kelo Biou pushed open the door and said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A Long, the rat has sent word to watch out for a pirate crew recently active in the East Blue.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Gao Wen Pirates.
