Chapter 44

Hearing the girl's question, Arlong suppressed the pain and looked up at her.

Thinking back to the day when he killed the girl's mother and forced her to make an agreement, he gradually grinned, revealing his sharp teeth and laughed wildly:

"Haha, haha!

You actually believed it, believed the agreement made with a pirate.

Nami, you are so naive….hahahaha"

As he said this, he could no longer restrain himself, and his laughter became more and more crazy.

Nami's face turned pale, with anger and unwillingness intertwined in her heart. Her white teeth bit her lips tightly, and a trace of blood flowed out.

Arlong looked at her sarcastically. He already understood.

He was destined to die at the hands of this marine today.

But before that, he wanted to give Nami a gift.

As a punishment for her betrayal, a memory that she would never forget.

But then, Nami's reaction made the smile on his face freeze.

"Go ahead, I've finished asking my questions."

He looked at Nami in disbelief as she stepped aside, holding back her emotions and firmly wiping away her tears.

"Nami, you——"

Before he finished speaking, a flash of white light passed by, and Arlong's head was chopped off by Luffy and flew high.

Nami looked at Arlong, who had his eyes wide open and couldn't figure it out until he died, and breathed a sigh of relief, smiling with relief.

"I knew it a long time ago, I just forced myself to believe it."

The girl looked away, no longer looking at the bloody corpse, and turned her head to look at Luffy with a firm look.

"Luffy, I..."

Luffy waved his hand carelessly, put away his sword, turned his back and left only his back to the girl.

"If you want to join us, I agree. From now on, you will be my navigator."

???

The girl tilted her head in confusion.

"Huh? What are you talking about? I mean, all the treasures here are mine, and you are not allowed to take them!"

Luffy stumbled and almost fell.

'Damn, it was said that once the protagonist aura was released, the beauties and the younger brothers would kneel down and lick his ass.

This script is wrong!'

"Don't even think about it, this is my trophy!"

Luffy turned his head angrily, and wanted to argue with her.

But what caught his eye was the girl's bright and moving smile in the sun.

"Thank you, Luffy."

At this moment, Luffy was stunned.

He couldn't help but think that it might be okay to share some of the treasure.....

A few days later.

Bang!

Sengoku stood up with puncing the table and cursed into the den den mushi:

"Bastard, bastard, I shouldn't have had any hope in you.

Look at what you've done, killing pirates indiscriminately, detaining fellow Marine officers, and even a Marine captain died in an unclear manner.

No matter how serious the crime they committed, they should be tried on Enies Lobby.

The marine and the government should jointly decide on their punishment.

Do you know that this is a serious violation of..."

As soon as he entered the Fleet Admiral's office, Garp saw his good friend Sengoku ranting into the den den mushi.

Glancing around, he saw Tsuru and Zephyr sitting on the sofa calmly drinking tea. He quietly walked over, unceremoniously took away the tea that Tsuru had just brewed, took a sip, and asked curiously:

"Which idiot made Sengoku so angry?"

Tsuru and Zephyr looked at him strangely at the same time.

After taking a sip of tea leisurely, Zephyr explained with an expression that he knew them.

"Who else could it be? Your good grandson.

I knew that kid would not be peaceful. He has only been in the East Blue for a few days and he has done something big."

"Eh, Luffy?" Garp was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter:

"Hahaha, you are indeed my grandson, you are really good at causing trouble."

During the call, Sengoku's forehead was throbbing with veins, and he quickly covered the den den mushi and cursed:

"Garp, shut up you old bastard!"

"Hey, hey, it's not a big deal, let me talk to him."

Garp walked to Sengoku with a cup of tea, snatched the Den Den Mushi, and asked Luffy on the other end:

"Moshi Moshi, this is grandpa.

Luffy, what did you do to make Sengoku so angry? Tell grandpa quickly."

When Luffy heard that his backer was there, he quickly told the story again half-truthfully.

"Hmm, hmm, what?! The marine still has such trash, what about that bastard?

Dead? How did he die? Humph, he got lucky.

Hmm, that's it, I got it."

After returning the den den mushi to Sengoku and understanding the whole story, Garp said nonchalantly:

"What? So that's all. Sengoku, you're making a big deal out of nothing."

"I'm making a fuss?!" Sengoku wanted to punch the old bastard.

"That's a Captain and hundreds of marine soldiers in the entire branch. If this little bastard dares to kill the Captain today, will he dare to kill an admiral tomorrow?

The day after tomorrow, will this kid even kill me?"

"Well, don't say that. Didn't Luffy say that the rat jumped into the sea out of fear of punishment and drowned?

The 16th branch also resisted out of fear of punishment, so they had to temporarily detain them.

How can it be all Luffy's fault?

Sengoku, be careful with your words, you said that yourself."

Looking at Garp who was picking his nose and making trouble ,

Sengoku couldn't bear it anymore and pounced on him and wrestled with him.

"You old bastard, I will be pissed off to death by you two sooner or later, so I might as well kill one of you now!"

"Hey, Sengoku, don't think I won't hit you just because you're a Fleet Admiral, take my punch!"

The dignified fleet admiral and the hero of the marine just started fighting in the office.

If other marine saw it, they would probably be shocked.

And these are commonplace for Zephyr and Tsuru who have been together for decades.

The two took the initiative to move to the side to avoid being affected, and then continued to drink tea calmly, pretending nothing happened.

During the fight between the two, the Den Den Mushi was swept by Sengoku and flew to the sofa, and was caught by Tsuru.

She looked at the Den Den Mushi that had not hung up yet, thought for a while and said:

"Don't worry about the affairs of the 16th branch. Just work hard in East blue and don't cause any more trouble for us."

"Ah? But I want to go back to the Grand Line"

"Don't even think about it! Before the order from the headquarters comes down, stay in the East Blue honestly!"

Hearing that the brat on the other side dared to make a request, Tsuru cursed and then hung up the phone.

"And you two, you are already so old, please pay attention to your influence."

Garp: "Little Tsuru, don't say such things like an old woman, I am still very young."

Sengoku: "Idiot, we are already old men and old women."

Tsuru:"#!#!#!"....

When Vice Admiral Tsuru was teaching the two stupid old men a lesson.

In Cocoyasi Village, Luffy, who was temporarily staying at Nami's house, put down the Den Den Mushi with a painful look on his face.

Beside him, the three best friends were hugging each other and trembling.

Nami was even more exaggerated, she fainted directly against Ain.

Cook: "It's over, it's over, I'm dead, my dad will definitely kill me."

Binz: "Luffy, Luffy, we won't be demoted to Choreboy, will we?"

 Gavin:"No, I finally graduated and became a lieutenant junior grade. If I become a chore boy again, I might as well die."

Luffy rolled his eyes and cursed angrily:

"What are you afraid of? There is no punishment.

Look at your cowardly look. Don't say you are my people next time you go out."

After scolding, Luffy ignored the three idiots and cast a puzzled look at Ain.

He pursed his lips and pointed at Nami in her arms. Luffy asked puzzledly:

"What happened to her? Why did she faint for no reason?"

Blinking, Ain looked down

"Oh, it was fine originally, but after knowing that it was the Fleet Admiral who scolded you, she became like this."

Luffy:.....
