Chapter 47: The Dragon (Please read! Recommended for PK on Tuesday!) (Ch 47)

“How is that possible? You want to break your promise?!”
Nami was furious, but she subconsciously looked down at her treasure chest.
There’s nothing inside.
“This is impossible!”
“I just checked, it’s in here!”
Nami looked confused, and then she became extremely panicked.
There should have been treasures worth more than 100 million in the treasure chest. Those were 100 million berries that he had just collected after spending countless efforts and escaping death several times over the past few years.
With that money, he could have redeemed the village from Aaron, and everyone wouldn’t have to live so hard.
But now.
Everything is gone.
“Nami~”
Aaron grabbed Nami’s hair and lifted her up. Seeing her struggling in severe pain, he felt extremely happy in his heart.
once Upon a time.
The humans on Fishman Island also captured their compatriots in the same way, ignoring their wailing and tears, dragging them away and selling them all over the world.
They may become materials on the experimental table, or become slaves in dark caves, or even have their hands and feet chopped off and become works of art for people to appreciate.
What a perfect work of art!
Aaron sighed in his heart, and then lowered his voice and said in Nami’s ear:
“I can let you go this time, but if it happens again, the price you pay to redeem the village will double!”
“It’s you!”
Nami pursed her lips and looked at Aaron angrily:
“You stole my treasure!”
“Are you confused?!”
Aaron joked:
“I’ve been following you all the time, and I was meeting with the rats before, so I don’t have the time to steal your things!”
“Think carefully about who it is!”
Nami was stunned for a moment, then she clenched her teeth and uttered a name that she didn’t even want to believe:
“It’s Kalina!”
“It’s her!”
Aaron’s smile widened when he saw this. He gently patted Nami’s face and said:
“I’ll give you half a month. If you can’t find it, the price for redeeming the village next time will be…”
Aaron held up two fingers.
“Two hundred million berries!”
“How is this possible!”
Nami was startled and subconsciously raised her voice, then she saw Aaron grinning and extending his third finger:
“I’ve changed my mind. If you can’t get the money back within half a month, the price of Keke Yaxi Village will triple!”
“That’s 300 million berries!”
“I……”
“Four–!”
“I will definitely get it back!”
Nami pursed her lips tightly, not even caring about the pain in her head, and agreed without hesitation.
It was because she didn’t know what a desperate price Aaron would offer if she continued, but did she have any choice?
This is an unfair deal in itself!
But as long as she didn’t want to watch the people of Kokoyasi die, she had no choice.
“Shark hahahahaha~”
Aaron let out his signature hideous laugh, then threw Nami into the pit and slowly turned away.
A few minutes later, Aaron gradually walked away, and Nami’s heart-wrenching wails gradually came from the edge of the orange grove.
“Aaron!”
“Aaron!
“Aaron!”
…
Nojigo rushed over when she heard the noise, but stopped the moment she saw Nami’s figure. Even though she didn’t know what had happened, she could feel Nami’s despair.
Half an hour later.
Nami staggered out of the pit, gritting her teeth.
Nojigo said nothing. In the midst of Nami’s surprised eyes, he hugged her in his arms and said through gritted teeth:
“Nami~”
“If you’re tired, just run away. You’ll just lose a bunch of people who hate you anyway.”
“us……”
“It’s not worth it.”
Nami didn’t respond, but just hugged Nojiko tightly.
Nojigo patted Nami on the back, but her body trembled slightly because she felt the wetness on her chest.
“Cry.”
“It’s okay to cry.”
…
the next day.
When Nojigo woke up, Nami was no longer by her side, and there was a letter with a smiley face and oranges on it left at the bedside.
“I will get those treasures back, even if it means breaking up with my best friend.”
Nojigo read the contents of the letter and felt unable to breathe for a moment.
She slowly put away the letter, walked out to the sheriff’s inspection room, and knocked on the door.
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
…
A few seconds later.
A thin middle-aged man with a windmill on his head and scars all over his face pushed open the door.
The man was Ajian, the sheriff of Kekoyasi Village.
However, with the arrival of Arlong and his gang and the collusion between the navy and the Arlong Pirates, the position of sheriff has become a joke.
But this man still did not give up. Even at the risk of his life, he was determined to protect the people in the village and his two daughters.
“Ajian, Nami hasn’t given up yet. I don’t know what happened to her, but she seems to have lost everything overnight…”
“Do you think that even if she meets Aaron’s conditions, will Aaron really hand over the Cocoa West Village to him?”
Ajian shook his head:
“How is that possible? How credible can the pirates’ words be?”
“I’m going to find out what happened!”
“Be careful.”
Noqi nodded, but still couldn’t help asking:
“I don’t understand why everyone knows what Nami is going to do, but still speaks badly to her. I even saw children insulting her.”
Ah Jian paused:
“Noqigao, every bit of kindness we show her will only increase the village’s status in her heart.”
“If one day she is really tired and wants to leave, how can she overcome the guilt in her heart?”
After saying that.
Ajian left quickly, leaving Nuoqigao standing at the door in a daze.
…
At the same time.
On the top floor of Aaron’s Paradise, a pile of treasures covered in dirt were placed on the table in front of Aaron.
He picked up his handkerchief and wiped the treasures clean one by one.
Every time he put one down, Aaron’s mind couldn’t help but reflect Nami’s expression last night, and an inexplicable sense of pleasure surged from the bottom of his heart:
“Nami~”
“My navigator, my doll.”
“If one day you find out that this is all a scam and you can never buy your own village, what kind of expression will you have?”
“Will it be like my compatriots, who can’t help but feel pity for me?”
“But why don’t humans have such emotions?”
Bang!
Aaron crushed the gem in his hand, his expression ferocious to the extreme:
“Humans without emotions are the lowest and most inferior creatures in this world!”
But at this moment there was a knock on the door. Aaron said expressionlessly:
“Come in!”
Clobio pushed the door open and said:
“Aaron, that guy Mouse sent us a message, asking us to pay attention to a group of pirates who have been active in the East China Sea recently.”
“who?”
“The bounty on Captain Gawain of the Gawain Pirates has reached 85 million berries, which is not a low number even in the Grand Line.”
“Shark hahahahaha~”
