Chapter 14: [14]Help me...
Next day, in the morning.
The sun rises announcing the beginning of a new day , the villagers wake up to work to earn money to sustain their lives for another month.
This was their routine for 8 years, working in agriculture or other crafts to sell outside the island.
The Fish-Means would choose a villager from each village they controlled to sell goods on an island near them, so that he would threaten his family if he tried to reveal anything about the situation here. Some people tried to do that and asked for the help of the marines, but they and their families were killed cause of Arlong's men.
As for why the Marines didn't come even though they knew about the situation here? You can ask Nezumi and his corrupt subordinates.
This was the information that Ren had obtained from Nojiko in the past few days.

Arlong Park.
On this island there was a huge palace called Arlong Park, or rather this was the home of the illegal ruler of this island.
In the palace square, many Fishe-Men can be seen playing and swimming in the pool in the middle of the square, or competing with each other.
There was a large chair on which sat a large and muscular fish man, with the light blue skin of a saw shark, and his most distinctive feature being his saw-shaped nose. He has long black hair that reaches his shoulders, and he wears a brown 'ushanka' on his head.
It had a fin at the back of its head, surrounded by hair, and its gills were located on either side of its neck. His :Sun Pirates' tattoo is on the left side of his chest, while his Jolly Roger tattoo is on his left forearm. Also He had thin&friece, light blue eyes and a long angular jaw.
He wore light modern clothing that reflected his wealthy status and background as a thief and extortionist. He wears a short-sleeved, unbuttoned yellow cabana shirt decorated with many black spots that resemble lightning, green Bermuda shorts, a purple scarf around the waist, and simple sandals. He also wears a lot of jewelry: he has a gold chain bracelet around his left wrist and two gold bracelets around each ankle, with straw-like decorations hanging from them.
This person was naturally Arlong.
"Arlong-san, it looks like that girl is close to collecting the required amount or has already obtained it all." kuroobi said , he is a Fish-man and Arlong's right-hand man.
"Huh? That girl collected the money so quickly? How did you know?" Arlong asked kuroobi in a surprised tone.
"Yesterday when Nami was returning to her room she seemed to be in a better mood than usual, even though she kept the same cold expression, but I suspected something and I followed her while I was behind her room's door and I heard her say this."kuroobi quickly replied to Arlong.
I see..."Arlong looked deep in thought for a moment and then was interrupted by kuroobi's voice again.
Arlong-san, are you really going to make the deal with that girl?" kuroobi said suspiciously, he knew that Arlong greatly appreciated Nami's talent in navigation and would rely on her to control the seas, so how could he let her go?
"kuroobi, have I ever broked a promise before?"
Arlong says with a tone of sarcasm.
He didn't wait for a response from kuroobi and ordered one of his followers to give him a Den Den Muchi.
After he wrote down the number, he opened the line and the Den Den Muchi changed directly into the face of that person who was... a rat?
"Hello, Captain Nezumi. I have some big business here...Yes, Chihahaha, it involves a lot of money."
.

On the other hand, Ren was now having breakfast with Nojiko and Nami who was still in a good mood from yesterday.
"Are you going today to complete the deal with Arlong, Nami?" Nojiko asked as she took a sip of her tea.
"Un, soon we will have our freedom."
"Be careful, Nami..." Even though she trusted Ren's words, Nojiko was still naturally worried about what Nami would do to herself if Arlong broke his promise , Ren was sure that Arlong will do thath and Nojiko believed him.
"Ok Nojiko! Even though Arlong is a bastard , he still pays a lot of attention to promises." Nami smiles at her sister, seeing that her worry is unnecessary.
Ren, who was paying attention to the conversation between the two sisters, opened his mouth and said to Nami.
"Miss Nami, if you need my help, don't hesitate to ask."
When Nami heard Ren's words, she nodded and thanked him. She didn't know what help she would need but she was still grateful to this man who helped her complete the payment and she would chat and joke with him from time to time, and this is what happened this morning.
After completing breakfast , She quickly left the house towards Arlong Park, only Nojiko and Ren remained in the house.
After they washed well, Ren put on beautiful black clothes that Nojiko watched him wear like an obedient wife.
The two were now in Nojiko's bedroom. The latter spoke in the form of Ren in amazement, then smiled and said:
"You're very handsome, Ren~" She said, then approached him and looked at him. He was taller than her,reaching 1.88cm.18cm taller than her, (Nojiko's height is 170cm).
Although this height isn't something special in the pirates world, Ren thinks that he can still become taller.
*Tcho~*
Without any introductions, the two lovers went into a heated kiss and competed with their tongues to determine the winner in this lustful game. Ren's tongue was stronger and toyed with every part and corner of Nojiko's mouth. Heat began to emanate from their bodies and Nojiko's hands were already roaming around his lower region and She felt his cock .
"Ahn~ahhh~ummm.."A sweet and beautiful moan came from Nojiko's mouth which was closed by Ren's tongue and still the deep kiss continued, he started to knead her breasts with his right hand while his left hand crawled to her soft ass and felt its warmth.
After playing with Nojiko for 5 minutes, he stopped and looked at the beautiful girl in front of him who seemed to be ready to introduce herself to him already, but he knew that there was something important to do now.
He couldn't have sex with Nojiko while Nami was about to die of despair, right?
"Nojiko, I have something to do for me and for Nami."

Arlong Park.
Nami had just arrived here and headed straight towards Arlong, who smiled wickedly when he saw her arrival.
"Hello my navigator."
Nami snorted and looked at him without expression, then said, "Arlong, do you remember our promise?"
"The promise? Of course I remember it, Nami. Where's the money? Did you get 100 million Belly?"
"Yes, I already got it, and you have to keep your promise too!" She said hurriedly.
"By the way, Nami, I haven't seen the money yet. How will I keep my promise? Are you sure you really got the money?"
Although Arlong seemed to be asking a normal question, Nami soon began to feel something and she began to look at him in shock and disbelief, and the matter didn't get worse until he repeated his question.
"Are you sure you have the money?"
"Are you sure you have the money?"
"Are you sure you have the money?"
.
..
...
This question resonated in her head like a thunderbolt, she didn't look at Arlong anymore and set off at full speed towards the house.
After several minutes, Nami was already panting, but when she arrived home, she saw a scene that made her unable to contain her anger.
She saw marines digging everywhere in the tangerine farm and their leader was of course Nezumi who looked like an ugly and malicious mouse.
"W-what are you doing , you bastards?!!" She shouted at the marines and rushed towards them angrily, but she was quickly stopped by Nezumi's voice.
"Who dares to obstruct the justice?! We have been informed that this place is the secret hideout of a thief who has stolen a lot of money , so the marine and the government will seize it! Who dares to resist?!"
He shouted and then looked at Nami, recognized her and cursed Arlong internally: 'Damn you, you ugly fish! Why did you bring your crew here?!'
"Shut up!!! Where are the residents of this house?! Didn't you see a man and a woman who were here?! Where did they go!!" Nami noticed something strange in that there was no one in the house, and when thinking about Arlong, she thought that he had sent someone to kill them.
"L-let me go, you crazy woman! There was no one there when we came to get justice-" Nezumi screams as Nami grabs him by the neck frantically.
"Shut up!! Fuck your and you'r justice!!" Nami screamed frantically, but soon she heard the marine's voice enter her mind:
Nami was a little relieved when she learned that they didn't find anyone in the house. She assumed that they were lucky to be outside during this period, even though she didn't know how Ren got out and Nojiko was insisting that he stay in the house, but her mind was busy thinking about something else now.
"Sir, we have found the stolen money!"
Nezumi looked at the money box greedily, while Nami's gaze became terrified and her body trembled.
She quickly walked out of the tangerine farm and she didn't notice that a pair of eyes were watching her from afar...
As Nami was running towards Arlong Park again, she was forcefully holding back her tears. She knew that marine officer from before. He was the corrupt officer working with Arlong!
Did Arlong trick her?
All these years he was just tricked her and never intended to keep his promise?!
Did she waste years of her life for nothing?!
She reached Arlong Park at full speed.
"Arlong!!!!"
She shouted directly and all the Fish-men looked at her ridiculed.
"What's wrong, Nami?" Arlong said with a smile on his face, and from Nami's reaction it seemed that Nezumi had succeeded in the mission.
"You bastard!! Are you pretending to be ignorant?! The Marines are in my house and took all my money!! You sent them, right?!" As soon as she said this, she grabbed him by his clothes and kept screaming at him.
But its size was small compared to Arlong, the transport of an Ant trying to move an Elephant.
He removed her hands from his clothes and said with a sarcastic smile:
"I don't know what you're talking about, Nami. We agreed that if you bring me 100 million Belly, I'll give you'r village freedom , but I don't see any money here!! Bring the money and then we will complete the deal, Shihahahahaha."
"You...you...you bastard... you bastard...!!!!"
"Shihahahahahahahahahahah!!"
"Hahahahaha!!"
"Wehahahahahahaha!!"
The fish-men started laughing madly
Tears gathered in Nami's eyes, she turned around and started running out of Arlong Park with tears falling from her eyes.
"Bastard!! Bastard!! Bastard!! Bastard!! Bastard!! Bastard!! Bastard!!"
"Arlong!!! You motherfucker ! You son of a bitch!!!I hate you!!!"
She sat on the floor, worrying about getting her clothes dirty, then she started crying as she remembered everything she had experienced since childhood.
Living happily... Arlong coming...Her mom's death...drawing maps and stealing pirates...now she was deceived by Arlong and everything was for nothing.
She looked with hatred at the tattoo of the Arlong Pirates printed on her shoulder, which was visible from her short shirt.
She took out her knife with tears still in her eyes and was about to start cutting and tearing her shoulder.
*Tap!!*
Before the knife touching her shoulder, another crash was heard.
The arriving at Ren was looking at the beautiful girl who cried until her eyes became red and her face was wet.
"R-ren-san?!"
Nami screamed upon seeing Ren holding her hand that was holding the dagger.
"You don't seem good, Miss Nami."
But Nami growled and continued to cry while shouting at him:
"Let my hand! Leave me alone!"
"No." Ren said simply.
He didn't wait for Nami's response, then he grabbed her hand, threw the dagger away, and lifted her from the ground.
"Do you remember what I told you in the morning?" Ren looked at the girl and wanted to see how Nami would act in this situation.
Nami remained silent, tears still falling from her eyes, unable to stand any longer as she was relying on Ren's hand to stay standing.
"Help me..." she said in a low voice.
"What did you say? I didn't hear you well." Ren wanted the girl to scream for help like the scene in the anime.
But Nami didn't scream like he expected she would.
She hugged him, trying to hide her tears, and stained his clothes with her tears, but he didn't mind.
"Please help me...I don't know why I'm asking you for help, but I think you're not an ordinary man...So please, end our suffering!"
He patted the girl's head and ruffled her orange hair and whispered softly in her ear: "Don't worry, I was going to do it even if you didn't ask."
"Nami...come to your sister."
Suddenly a voice came behind Nami and Ren.
Nojiko was walking up to Nami with pity in her eyes, but what surprised Nami were the people behind her.
There were many villagers and also someone she knew!
"Nojiko! Genzo! Everyone! What are you doing here?!" Nami screamed and then got out of Ren's embrace in embarrassment and tried to wipe away her tears.
"I'm who invited them." Ren laughed when he saw that Nojiko had completed the mission he had given her.
"Ren-san?..I mean...Ren..."
"Hahahaha, it's okay, you can call me informally, and I'll tell you why I invite them...it's to watch a good show."
Ren laughed at Nami who was hugging Nojiko when he saw her confused about how she should call him.
"Now, let the show begin!"
After saying this, he walked at his fastest speed and seemed to disappear for a moment and reappear several dozen meters away.
Don't misunderstand, he wasn't using Soru, it was pure strength. After improving his physical strength, his speed jumped to a whole new level where ordinary people couldn't track him with the naked eye.
You could say it was like Captain Kuro's steps, but twice as fast.
"Nami, everyone, let's quickly follow him." Nojiko said to her sister who was still looking with wide open eyes at Ren's speed.
Genzo, who didn't even know that the girls he considered to be his daughters were living with a strange man who had very complicated feelings at these times, but he sighed and followed Nojiko's words.
The crowd then marched to Arlong Park to watch the show Ren was talking about.
The people and actors have gathered and the stage has been prepared. All that remains is the performance and the curtain will be lowered on the play!
