"I won't let that scene happen..." Luffy thought to himself.
So Luffy, who snapped out of his reverie, went to invite Sanji to join his pirate crew.
He was setting sail, and how could a pirate crew be complete without an excellent chef?
However, due to the interruption of the live broadcast, Sanji and Luffy didn't defeat Krieg together. Their bond hadn't deepened yet, meaning their relationship wasn't fully established.
Sanji hesitated in accepting Luffy's invitation, but he couldn't resist Luffy's persistence and Sanji's boss forcefully driving him away.
In the end, Sanji agreed to board Luffy's ship, but this also caused them to waste a lot of time here.
After bidding farewell to the Baratie crew, Luffy, Sanji, and the others hurriedly went to chase after Zoro and Usopp, who had already left.
While Luffy and his group were chasing after Zoro and Usopp, many things were happening in Cocoyasi Village.
First, Nami returned to Arlong Park, where she watched the live broadcast together with the members of the Arlong Pirates.
The Arlong Pirates didn't recognize Luffy, but Nami did. She didn't expect him to have such a significant background and be so powerful.
She couldn't help but feel regretful. Perhaps she should have let him help her eliminate Arlong.
But it was too late for regrets now.
However, Nami didn't lose hope. Fortunately, she had a plan to save her village. She had already gathered 93 million berries and only needed 7 million more to buy back the village from Arlong. Once that happened, everyone would be free.
While they were watching the live broadcast, an unexpected person appeared, and Zoro was captured by the Fish-Men.
Nami, who didn't want to see Zoro being killed by Arlong, suggested that this person be handed over to her for handling.
At this moment, Arlong was also not interested in Zoro anymore because he saw someone in the broadcast whom he despised greatly - Admiral Kizaru.
It was this man who easily defeated him and brought him to Impel Down, leaving a deep psychological scar on Arlong.
It was Kizaru who made him realize his own weakness, so after being released, he escaped far away and came to this corner of the East Blue to seek revenge against humans.
Although he proclaimed to establish the Arlong Empire and show those humans on the Grand Line a lesson, it was just a slogan, a direction to unite his Fish-Men brethren.
Deep down, Arlong knew very well that they would never be able to defeat that Navy admiral who looked like a monkey.
That's why he stayed in the East Blue for eight years. Apart from expanding his influence, extorting money, seeking revenge against humans, and indulging in pleasures, he didn't do anything else, let alone returning to the Grand Line.
Seeing the strength of Navy admirals like Akainu, Kizaru, and Aokiji in the broadcast, Arlong became even more acutely aware of this fact. They were creatures that they could never defeat.
However, the more he realized this, the more he hated humans, the more he resented being unable to vent his anger towards them directly. He could only find substitutes to unleash his fury...
When he saw the moment the Navy admiral, resembling a monkey, went easy on the grandson of that Navy hero, Arlong's rage reached its peak!
Arlong's expression twisted, and a tremendous roar echoed from his mouth: "Damn it!!!"
He was filled with hatred!
The Marines showed no mercy when they were pursuing their Fish-Men. They killed his older brother, Tiger, and ruthlessly defeated and captured him.
However, when facing the grandson of a Navy hero, they went easy on him one after another, especially that monkey admiral. Arlong had experienced the power of that guy, and if he really wanted to attack, there was no way that brat would survive.
Instead, he was kicked to the safest place for treatment.
Arlong felt discriminated against and insulted. When these humans dealt with them, they spoke of justice and showed no mercy, but when it came to their own kind, their hands became soft.
Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!!!!...
Arlong's anger was raging, and at that moment, he wanted to kill!
At this point, one of his subordinates mentioned that the pirate with a long nose who was with Zoro had escaped to Cocoyasi Village.
Upon hearing this, a wicked smile formed on Arlong's lips. "Cocoyasi Village? I just happen to have some business to attend to there!"
Luo ke observed everything, just as he remembered. Arlong was heading to Cocoyasi Village, and Usopp, to avoid involving the villagers here, wanted to lead Arlong's group away.
However, he failed. Usopp was captured.
However, when Arlong and his group brought Usopp back to Arlong Park, they discovered that Zoro had killed all the Fish-Men left behind in their anger. Arlong was furious and wanted to kill Usopp. Nami, wanting to clear suspicion, volunteered to pretend to kill him, making him play dead and saving Usopp's life.
However, Arlong revealed a treasure map, which marked the address of Cocoyasi Village. Nami immediately felt uneasy upon seeing the map because it was the same map she had drawn to save money and buy back the village.
Nami hurriedly ran towards the village, but due to the unexpected events caused by the live broadcast, she arrived a bit late. Captain Nezumi had already reached Cocoyasi Village, and by the time Nami arrived, he had dug up the 93 million berries that she had hidden.
She instantly realized that it was orchestrated by Arlong. She confronted Arlong, only to be mercilessly mocked. It was then that she realized that Arlong had never intended to let her go.
In despair, she returned to Cocoyasi Village, where the villagers became aware of what had happened. Nami's years of effort were in vain, and the villagers of Cocoyasi Village were no longer willing to endure it.
No matter how Nami pretended to be strong and persuaded the villagers not to do anything foolish, telling them she would raise another 100 million berries to buy back the village, they didn't want to end up like her mother, Bell-mère, killed by Arlong.
But the villagers no longer wanted Nami to bear this pain alone. They were determined to fight the Arlong Pirates to the death.
Watching the determined villagers heading to confront Arlong, Nami helplessly sat on the ground, her face filled with despair.
Who will save us?
...
Meanwhile, near Cocoyasi Village, on the beach, Luffy and Sanji arrived just in time and coincidentally encountered Usopp and Zoroi who had escaped. They also heard about what happened to Nami from Usopp.
Filled with righteous anger, they were determined to defeat the Arlong Pirates.
Deep inside the moon, in a dimly lit room, luo ke's mouth curled into a faint smile.
"Alright, the actors are all here. It's time to start the second live broadcast."
