Cocoyasi Village, the home of Nami and Nojiko.
The door was pushed open suddenly, and Nami ran in excitedly carrying the treasure.
"Nojiko, listen to me, Arlong has agreed to fulfill the promise."
"Afterwards, he will bring his people to Cocoyasi Village soon, and complete the deal with me in front of everyone in the village!"
"At that time, everyone will be free!"
"By the way, it's thanks to you Rifan. Thank you."
"Don't worry, I will definitely repay you, hehe."
Nami had a smile on her lips, and tears filled her excited eyes.
"Nami, actually..."
Nojiko opened her mouth, wanting to tell Nami what she saw.
However, Nami at this moment has completely fallen into a state of excitement.
"Nojiko, I will tell Bell-mère about this, I believe she will also be happy for us."
After Nami finished speaking, regardless of the fatigue of traveling back and forth between the Arlong Park and Cocoyasi Village, she ran directly to the place where Bell-mère was buried with the treasure on her back.
Her speed was so fast that Nojiko didn't even have time to stop Nami.
"Rifan..."
Nojiko looked at Rifan worriedly.
"Nojiko, we should let Nami see the truth. Don't worry, I have a plan."
"During this period, you can also tell us about Bell-mère."
Rifan patted Nojiko on the shoulder, and pulled her to sit down at the table.
Seeing Rifan's calm expression, Nojiko calmed down a lot for no reason.
She nodded and started talking about hers, Nami, and her adoptive mother, Bell-mère, as a child.
*****
[A great mother who sacrificed her own life for her two daughters!]
[I'm crying, obviously money can be used to save herlife, but Bell-mère finally chose to sacrifice herself and use money to buy the lives of Nami and Nojiko. ]
[Damn Arlong Pirates, hateful Fish-men Pirates, I want to shoot my bazooka and grill this fishes!]
[Camel Audience: Che, Nami and Nojiko are not biological daughters, I don't understand why that Bell-mère did this. ]
[Bastard upstairs, it seems that for you who only know how to steal everywhere, it is difficult to understand what true family affection is. ]
[That's right! So what if they're not biological? Obviously, Nami, Nojiko and Bell-mère are more biological mothers and daughters than real mothers and daughters!]
…
In Rifan's live broadcast room, many viewers heard about Bell-mère from Nojiko's mouth.
Except for a few people who express incomprehension.
Most of the audience was impressed by the greatness of Bell-mère.
Many people even want to see this brave mother with their own eyes.
But they also know that such a thing is impossible.
At this time, they can only expect Rifan to teach the Arlong Pirates a hard lesson in order to avenge Bell-mère.
Just when people were moved, a burst of noise suddenly came from outside the yard.
"Listen, people inside, we're Marines, and we suspect you've got major thieves here."
"You'd better come out obediently, otherwise, well force our way in!"
The sudden sound made Nojiko's voice suddenly stop, and her body couldn't help shaking.
"Rifan…"
Nojiko looked at Rifan for help.
She understand that this was the Marine that Arlong call.
"Don't worry, I'll do it!"
Rifan nodded to Nojiko, stood up from his seat, and walked out of the door.
Mikita, Robin and Nojiko naturally followed closely behind.
However, before Rifan would push open the door, Nami's voice came from outside again.
"What are you Marines doing, there are no criminals here!"
Nami panted and looked at the Marines in front of her, feeling a sudden uneasiness in her heart.
Previously, she was still in front of Bell-mère's tombstone telling her the beauty of the future of their village.
But the sudden arrival of Marines forced Nami to hurry back home.
"Orange hair, you must be the thief Nami."
"I am Colonel Mouse of the 16th Marine Division."
"Now you are suspected of being involved in multiple thefts at East Blue, please come with us."
Colonel Mouse waited for the Marine to turn around and look at Nami when he heard the voice behind him.
Some Marines aimed their rifles directly at Nami.
None of them noticed Rifan and others who quietly opened the door and appeared from the door.
…
[This bastard Marine, it seems that the Marine in the dungeon world is not as good as imagined. ]
[Associating with the pirates and wanting to attack Nami, this trash who looks like a mouse is doomed. ]
[It depends on how Rifan will teach him. ]
…
"Theft? Are you mistaken? I've never stolen anything!"
Nami panickedly hid the backpack in her hands behind her back, and kept gesturing to Nojiko at the door, wanting her to hide it at their house.
"Hehe, it's not up to you to decide wether your a thief or not."
"Give me the backpack on your back, I suspect that it is the treasure you stole."
Colonel Mouse held out his hand and snapped at Nami.
"No...don't, it's mine, it's definitely not stolen!"
Nami backed away again and again, trying to stay away from the Marine.
However, at this moment, Colonel Mouse was impatient, and he directly pulled out a pistol from his waist and aimed a shot at Nami's arm.
boom!
Nami's eyes closed shut instinctively, and her body is rolled into a ball.
However, after the gunshot, she didn't feel the pain for a long time, and she couldn't help but open her eyes in doubt.
"It's you!"
Nami looked at Rifan who was holding a bullet between his thumb and index finger and shouted in surprise.
"Yes, it's me~"
"Leave it to me here, Nami."
Rifan smiled and blocked Nami behind him.
"You bastard, who are you?!"
Colonel Mouse frowned, and immediately pointed the gun in his hand at Rifan, intending to teach him a lesson.
But the next moment, a burst of exclamation erupted from the side of Colonel Mouse.
"This... this guy is... the Fish-men who beat the colonel just now?!"
Hearing what his soldiers said, Colonel Mouse frowned and looked over immediately.
"You bastard, what are you talking about...huh?! Isn't this Nasser?!"
Colonel Mouse stared wide-eyed at Nasser's body in the corner where his own soldiers lifted off the sackcloth covering the body.
For this Fish-men who pretended to accidentally beat him up and even apologized afterwards with an extremely insincere apology, even if the other party mother couldn't recognize him, Colonel Mouse was confident that he can recognized him at first glance.
At this moment, Nasser's head is only partly sunken, so he still can recognize him.
"Wait, how did this guy die here?!"
"Could it be that you killed him…Wait, you are that Rifan?!"
Colonel Mouse looked at Rifan, and suddenly found that he was so similar to Rifan who received the latest reward order for 80 million Berry.
Colonel Mouse stared wide-eyed, looking behind him in horror.
Soon he saw Nico Robin, the Devil Child with a bounty of 79 million Berry, and Mikita with a bounty of 50 million Berry.
Suddenly, Colonel Mouse's body began to shake like a sieve.
…
[Haha, this guy finally realized Rifan's identity, he's too slow. ]
[He probably didn't expect that Brother Rifan, who was offered a bounty on the Grand Line, would suddenly appear in East Blue. ]
[Now, it's time for this guy to despair!]
…
"You, you, how did you come to this island?! No. In the first place why are you in East Blue!?"
"And t-that woman, what's her relationship with you!?"
Colonel Mouse spoke with a trembling voice, and subconsciously wanted to stay away from Rifan.
"Hehe, Nami is the woman I fancy, what do you think of my relationship with her?"
"How about you, as a Marine, who joins forces with the Arlong Pirates."
"Presumably, you should be ready to pay the price."
Rifan clenched his fists and walked towards Colonel Mouse with a grin.
"Wait, Rifan, what are you talking about?!"
"These Marines were arranged by Arlong?!"
Nami's eyes widened, looking at Rifan in disbelief.
"That's right, otherwise, do you think these Marines can safely land on this island controlled by the Arlong Pirates?"
Rifan nodded slightly, and continued to walk towards Colonel Mouse.
"Damn it, don't come here!"
Colonel Mouse yelled in horror, and the surrounding Marine soldiers wanted to raise their rifles to shoot at Rifan.
However, several arms grew out of their bodies in an instant, directly suppressing them to the ground!
"This is... the ability of the Devil's Child!"
Colonel mouse looked up and down at his subordinates who were knocked down in an instant, and despaired instantly.
Facing Rifan who had already approached him, he immediately knelt down in front of Rifan, and pressed his head deeply to the ground.
"Please don't kill me!"
"I didn't know Nami was your woman!"
"It was Arlong who sent me to rob her treasure."
"He also said that he would share the treasure with me."
"Please forgive me, I won't dare again!"
Colonel Mouse kowtowed as he spoke.
The outside world doesn't know, but Colonel Mouse, who is an insider of the Marine, has a clear understanding of Rifan's power.
A man who could easily defeat a Naval Headquarters Colonel(Captain), although they have the same position, but their strengths is clearly heaven and earth apart.
Not to mention, Rifan also has two powerful partners.
Thinking of the bounty of the Black Pearl Pirates, Colonel Mouse began to curse Arlong in his heart.
"It's... really Arlong!"
Nami's heart tightened when she heard what Colonel Mouse said, and her body went limp and she fell directly to the ground.
Seeing this, Nojiko ran over quickly and helped Nami up.
"Tsk, if you carry out your identity as a villain to the end, I still have some respect for you."
"But the way you look now is definitely too ugly."
"It's really... an eyesore!"
Rifan snorted coldly, and stepped directly on the back of Colonel Mouse's head.
The powerful force made him faint in an instant.
The Marines on the side struggled violently when they saw their colonel life-or-death appearance.
But in exchange for their struggle was a twist of their heads.
Accompanied by the sound of bones cracking, they also closed their eyes and lost their consciousness.
"Amazing!"
Nojiko looked at Rifan and Robin with admiration.
Although she already knows the power of Rifan, and knows that Rifan's partners are not easy.
But when she really saw Robin make a move, she was still unavoidably surprised.
Of course, what really surprised her was Colonel Mouse's attitude towards Rifan.
" Rifan, do you know him ?"
"Why is he so afraid of you?"
Nojiko helped Nami up and asked Rifan curiously.
"I'm just someone stronger than him."
"So it's normal for him to be afraid of me, someone who is stronger than him."
"It's you, Nami, what are you going to do next?"
"Arlong of the Arlong Pirates never thought of keeping his promise and selling Cocoyasi Village to you."
After speaking, Rifan told Nami what he and Nojiko saw in the Arlong Park.
The more Nami listened, the heavier her heart became.
In the end, she couldn't help covering her mouth and crying in a low voice.
"Nami..." Nojiko held Nami in her arms, "It's okay, we still have a solution."
"There is no other way, Nojiko." Nami cried in Nojiko's arms, tears instantly wet Nojiko's white T-shirt. "Arlong is so strong, we have no way to take revenge against him. "
"Who said there is no other way?" Nojiko patted Nami on the back, and led her to look at Rifan. "Here, isn't there a powerful helper?"
"Rifan?"
Nami frowned, but after thinking that Rifan was able to sneak into the Arlong Park with Nojiko, and was able to scare Colonel Mouse so much.
She couldn't help but feel a surge of hope in her heart.
"Rifan, can you help me?"
"As long as you can help me, I am willing to be your navigator!"
Nami pursed her lips and walked up to Rifan, looking into Rifan's eyes beggingly.
….
[Panda Rifan, you have triggered Nami's invitation task - to solve the threat of the Arlong Pirates!]
[After completing this task, Nami will officially join your Pirates Group!]
With a faint smile on Rifan's face, he reached out to wipe away the tears from the corners of Nami's eyes.
"Relax, Nami."
"I will let the Arlong Pirates know what price they will pay for bullying my navigators~"
