Chapter 411: 5 Days, Do You Know How I Lived These 5 Days!
Arlong was killed.
Apart from Hachi, who had escaped, the entire Arlong Pirate had been wiped out, and the nightmare that had been hanging over Nami’s head had disappeared overnight.
This girl, who was only 15 years old, sat on the ground somewhat powerlessly. She lowered her head, and her body and mind finally relaxed.
The mountain that had been pressing down on her head had finally been eliminated.
Uehara stood beside her and quietly looked at Nami. He narrowed his eyes and smiled as he rubbed her hair, softly comforting her emotions.
“In the future, you don’t have to be afraid of Arlong.”
At this moment, Uehara looked like a righteous person who had just wiped out the evil and protected the world.
Nami slowly nodded. She took a deep breath and looked up at Uehara, a trace of gratitude flashing across her face, “No matter what… thank you all.”
“En, it’s fine…”
Uehara’s smile was unusually sunny. He stretched and slowly began to reveal his wolf tail, “From Grand Line to the East Blue, we have been sailing at sea for a long time recently. I’m afraid I will suffer from scurvy. Do you have any fruit here? We want to buy some…”
“Yes!”
Nami nodded slowly, and a smile appeared on her face, “Our family has a big tangerine orchard. If you want, I will give you a very generous discount as a thank you gift!”
“Then…”
Uehara narrowed his eyes and looked at the greedy girl. He nodded and said, “Thank you for the discount…”
‘This Nami…’
‘She was more greedy than he had imagined!’
‘At this time, she still couldn’t figure out the situation!’
‘Was this girl infected with the bad habit of being greedy for money because of Arlong… Or was her nature a greedy person?’
Uehara smiled as he watched Nami rush into Arlong Park and packed up all the money that Arlong had accumulated over the years. The smile on her face grew deeper and deeper.
“Hu…”
Nami looked at the huge package and revealed a happy smile, “These are all stolen by Arlong from everyone in the village over the years. Find an opportunity to return them…”
Speaking up to here, Nami could not help but frown again. The smile on her face gradually faded. She slowly lowered her head and said, “However… they probably won’t accept me!”
“Yes…”
Uehara nodded faintly.
“Forget it, it doesn’t matter.”
Nami quickly gave up on her depression. At least now that the nightmare hovering in her childhood had disappeared, she could calmly arrange her own life.
Then a playful smile appeared on Nami’s face again, “Let’s go. I’ll take you to our house to pick up the tangerines first. Our tangerines are very sweet. Even if I give you a discount, the price might not be low!”
“Hmm…”
Uehara nodded with a smile. He looked at Nami and said, “For me, money is not a problem. I am actually not interested in money.”
“Eh?”
A trace of curiosity appeared on Nami’s face. She could not help but rub her palms and ask, “Then how much money do you have?”
“Hehe…”
Uehara smiled and stretched out his palm, gently rubbing Nami’s hair, “You’ll know in a while.”
Nami looked up at Uehara and revealed an expectant gaze.
Half an hour later.
Cocoyashi Village – Nami’s Tangerine Orchard.
Nami finally knew how much money Uehara had.
36,530,000 Beli.
This number was all the money she had saved up from the age of ten to the age of fifteen. It had been quietly buried in her own tangerine orchard, and now it was all stolen by Uehara.
She was still too naive…
She was still too young…
A string of thoughts floated through Nami’s brain, ‘Why would she believe pirates?’
‘Because this pirate killed Arlong and spoke kindly to her?’
After this bastard Uehara entered her family’s Tangerine Orchard, he did not start picking tangerines. Instead, he quickly searched for the treasure she hid there!
Nami bit her lips tightly and watched as Uehara dug out the money and treasure she had hidden in the Tangerine Orchard. He slowly picked it up and put it away.
“You…”
A trace of despair appeared in Nami’s eyes, “Wait, didn’t you say that you have a lot of money? And you not interested in money?”
“Nami…”
Uehara nodded and picked up the bag filled with money and treasures. He sighed faintly and said, “Do you think… there will be people in this world who are not interested in money?”
Uehara patted Nami on the shoulder and encouraged her, “Come on, you can set yourself a small goal and earn another 100 million Beli…”
“I saved so much money for five years…”
Nami clenched her fists tightly, her face filled with despair as she looked at Uehara holding her money, “Five years! Do you know how I spent these five years?”
“Oh?”
Uehara slowly turned his head, his face revealing a mysterious smile, “Do you know how I lived the five days after we met you and then rushed to Arlong Park?”
Uehara spread out his palm and said with a serious face, “Five days? I ask about your preferences every day and find a way to get your information!”
“Five days? I have to figure it out every day carefully. A girl who started collecting Beli from the age of ten? How much money can she save in these five years? Where will this girl put the treasure and Beli she stole…”
“In the end, I determined in your Tangerine Orchard.”
“…”
After Nami heard what Uehara said, she was completely dumbfounded!
Originally, she had been listening to Uehara comfort her every day. She thought that this guy was at least a good person, but in the end, this guy was trying to figure out how to find her treasure every day!
‘Ahhhhhhhhhh…’
‘This bastard liar!’
‘How could there be a person like Uehara in this world!’
This 15-year-old girl felt like she was going crazy because of Uehara. How could this guy have the nerve to do such a thing!
“Nami!”
Nami’s sister Nojiko was originally here to help sell tangerines. After seeing this situation, she immediately covered Nami’s mouth!
This was a pirate with a bounty of 30 million Beli!
And this guy just killed Arlong!
No matter how they looked at it, it was not something they should provoke right now!
Nojiko embraced Nami’s shoulder and comforted her softly, “It’s alright, Nami, at least the nightmare of Arlong has ended. There will be more in the future. In the future, we can plant tangerines at home with peace of mind…”
“Little girl, you are thinking too much.”
Uehara curled his lips and reached out his hand to grab the tangerine. He smiled and said, “Your nightmare has just begun!”
“What else do you want?”
“Guess!”
Uehara slowly peeled the skin and took a bite of the tangerine. After that, he nodded at Nami in satisfaction, “Hmm… your tangerines are really sweet…”
In the next moment, Uehara’s face suddenly became extremely gloomy. He stared at Nami and Nojiko and said in a deep voice, “Immediately call the villagers to come over and help me put the tangerines in our boat!”
Nami, “…”
Nojiko, “…”
‘Is there something wrong with this pirate’s brain?’
‘Did he also want to rob her tangerine after robbing her treasure?’
In fact, it proved that the two of them had really underestimated Uehara’s lower limit. Just when Nojiko was planning to stay here and let Nami go and call for people…
“Wait!”
Uehara called out to Nami and stuffed another mouthful of tangerine into his mouth. Once again, a smile appeared on his face as he added, “Oh, right, get those villagers to bring the tools they usually use to do farm work when they come…”
“…”
Nojiko was a little puzzled.
However, Nami immediately thought of something, and the corner of her mouth could not help but twitch, “Hey, don’t tell me you also want to take the tangerine tree…”
“You guessed right! Nami-chan!
Uehara nodded and instructed with a serious expression, “Get them to bring the tools over and help me move your tangerine trees onto the ship, as many as you can plant!”
Nami, “…”
‘Uehara, you are really a ruthless person!’
Nami really felt that there was something wrong with Uehara’s brain. After robbing all of her treasure and tangerines!
He also wanted to steal their orange trees!
Seeing that Nami seemed to be stunned by his words, Uehara stretched out his finger and made a gesture of firing at a tangerine.
“Bang!”
The tangerine was instantly shattered by Busoshoku Haki(Armament Haki)!
Uehara narrowed his eyes and smiled as he extended his finger. He placed his finger on Nojiko’s head and turned to look at Nami.
“Please hurry up. If you are a little slower, I might kill all of Cocoyashi Village’s people!”
“Ahhhhh, your brain has some problem!”
Nami rushed out in an instant.
After Nojiko watched her sister leave, she turned to look at Uehara and suddenly laughed, “Mr. Uehara… is actually a good person, right? But why must you bully Nami?”
“Hehe, of course, I am a good person…”
Uehara then looked at Nojiko and sneered, “But your sister said bad things about me on our ship. I clearly helped her kill Arlong, but she still wanted to sell the tangerine at a high price… Is she still a human?”
“…”
The corners of Nojiko’s mouth could not help but twitch.
On the other side.
When Nami left the Tangerine Orchard, she suddenly realized that the village might no longer accept her, so she could only run to the only one who could accept her!
Cocoyashi Village’s police station, Genzo.
“Genzo!”
Nami frantically knocked on the uncle’s door, who had once made her smile when she was still a baby. She opened her mouth in panic and said, “Genzo! Hurry up and get someone to bring the tools and help pick the tangerine. Help us dig out our tangerine trees!”
……………
Genzo glanced at Nami in confusion, and the little pinwheel on his hat spun around, “Wait… What happened?”
“Listen to me!”
Nami gripped his arm and said with a heavy face, “A pirate came to our village. He killed Arlong, and now he wants to steal our tangerine and tangerine trees. If everyone doesn’t help pick the tangerine, he will kill everyone in Cocoyashi Village!”
“…”
Genzo looked at Nami in confusion, but he did not hesitate. He immediately believed Nami and began to gather the people in the village.
‘What is wrong with the pirates in the sea…’
To be honest, this kind of thing sounds pretty confusing.
But what made Nami feel a little touched was…
When they heard that her family encountered a pirate accident. Everyone in the village came to help, and even clamored to help her chase away the pirates.
‘Did the people in the village already know the truth of whye she joined the Arlong?’
None of them were hostile towards her…
But now was not the time to be moved!
Nami could not help but persuade in a deep voice, “That Uehara has a problem with his brain. He killed Arlong. Everyone, do not provoke him. All you need to do is help pick the tangerines and dig up a few tangerine trees…”
