"Nojiko, Mom you guys are okay. " cried out Nami with tears running on her eyes when Nojiko and Bell-mere finally opens their eyes, although they are both bleeding however the bullet didn't pearce their skin just some bruses which is the cause of the blood on the cloth.
"I am alive. " says Bell-mere with uncertainty looking at the blood on her stomach as she felt pain on her belly and lifting her shirt found the bullet stuck to her stomach skin although it made a small wound however it falls to penitrate her.
"Mom the bullet, how? " asks Nami in disbelief as she is unable to understand how the bullet failed to penitrate the skin.
"What happened how did it not kill us? " asks Nojiko in surprise as she looks at the bullets that didn't penitrate their skin when did we become immune to bullet.
"Actually I depressed the speed and stopped them from killing you. " finally explains Alex with a serious face as he uses his magnetic power to lift the bullets from their wounds and throwing those far.
"If can stop it, Why didn't you stop them before they can touchthem? " asks Nami with a serious face.
"Because if I am to stop the bullets and attack the Marine while they are still in the village then when we leave the Marine will get another opportunity to attack the villagers. " explains Alex with a serious face as he turns around before he started walking towards the door of the house.
"Alex wait where are you going? " looking at Alex's back Nami was silent for a while but decided to ask anyway.
"It's time for you to get your revenge and Arlong to face his punishment while people gets justice. " announces Alex with a serious tone and looking at his back that is covering the sun Nami feet his back has become several times larger and maybe she can finally trust someone, have faith and believe on the person who will support her even when the roof falls.
"No, Alex don't you... " cries out Nami suddenly when she remembers Alex is going to the Arlong Park for her however she quickly then remembers Arlong's horror and tried to stop Alex just tof8nd he has already left them when Nojiko says with a serious face putting her hand on Nami's shoulder "He is already gone Nami. "
"No we must stop him before he arrives at The Arlong Park. " says Nami quickly dashing towards the village gates just to be stopped by Bell-mere who announces how they are going to face Arlong and his crew since he sent Marines to take the money Nami saved for their freedom meaning he is not going to let them free.
Hearing her Nami tries to stop them as she tries to convinc them she will start gathering more money and in no time she will buy their freedom however Bell-mere explains that's no use since Arlong can do the same thing again so it's best for them to try deleting Arlong then just die this horrible life.
As everyone left the village Nami falls on the floor with only her as Bell-mere and Nojiko's words are playing in her head.
"Yes we are going to take action against Arlong and get our freedom today, even if we lose our life at least we tried. " says Nojiko with a smile as she held Nami by the shoulder "Listen up Nami you have done more than enough and today you have also seen how Arlong sent Nezumi to snatch all your savings."
"He doesn't want to keep his Promise and this was his way of sending it to you, so it's about time you stop suffering from hardship that you should not. " says Bell-mere with a smile as she holds Nami's other shoulder.

After leaving Cocoyasi village Alex rushed to arrive at the Marine Ship then sneeks inside the stroage using his Devil Fruit then stores all the Treasures Nezumi stored for himself then after looking thrugh the stroage he discovered a screw made out of stone and Iron inside an expensive looking wooden box and as soon as he touces the screws stone part his Devil Fruit powers became a lost weak almost as if he can't use any making him understand it's made with the combination of sea stone and iron making him say "who would make something so strange but that's not important since I can also use it until I learn how to use Haki. "
After storing everything into his system stroage he goes above the ship and when it arrives at the Arlong Park he takes out a video transponder snail that he borrowed from the ship and quickly makes a call to the Marine Headquarters looking at the phone book that he also borrowed from Nezumi's room "Hello. "
"Rear Admiral Momosuagi who am I speaking. " asks Gion with her seductive tone.
"Rear Admiral I am Alex from East Blue and I am a new Bounty hunter. " explains Alex with a serious tone as he speaks with Momosuagi.
"So why did you call the headquarters? " hearing it's a call from East Blue it looks like the woman from the other side lost her interest and indicated Alex to get to the point.
"Today I came to catch Arlong a fishman terrorizing the visinity of Conomi Islands but before I can catch him I discovered a Marine Captain working with him so I decided to call to know if I should catch him. " explains Alex with a serious tone.
"So you don't want to be aqused as a criminal by the Captain who is working with Arlong and decided to call us. " asks Momosuagi just for Alex to agree then asks "Can you provide some evidence of the said Marine Captain working with Arlong. "
"Yes he is Captain Nezumi and I will start sending the live video of Captain Nezumi and Arlong right away. " says Alex with a smile before he turns on the video call function and shows how Nezumi and Arlong are chatting happily with one another while some Fishman are walking with bags of golds and bellies from Marine ships to Arlong's Park.
After looking at everything Momosuagi sats with anger "Alright Mr. Alex you have done a great work by informing us abut Nezumi's collaboration with Arlong, if you can successfully catch Arlong we will give you dubble of his Bounty if you report to any of the Marine Base from east Blue. "
"Thank you Rear Admiral Momosuagi. " says Alex with a nod and before he can ask anything the call is cut off.
It didn't take long for Nezumi to finish his business with Arlong before he left Arlong Park and leave with the rest of the Marine but before he can get far Alex who has already left the ship calls out with a smile " A True Art is an explosion. "
Boom
