Chapter 28
I don’t know if Nami will make the same choice as in the original book after my intervention.
Besides, with my intervention in the Barati restaurant incident, Zoro probably has no chance to compete with the world’s number one swordsman Hawkeye Mihawk, and Xia Chen is not sure whether Sanji will get on the ship.
At that time, he only had time to mention it, and Garp arrived.
“Just rest here for a few days and adapt to the new ability.” Xia Chen made a decision. If he couldn’t wait for the other members of the Straw Hat Pirates here, he would not go to Rogue Town, but directly enter the Grand Line.
Go to the Twin Gorge and wait.
If the pirate group also passed by there, Crocus, who was guarding the Twin Lighthouse, should know.
Anyway, Xia Chen would never meet Garp again.
A week passed, and everything was stable. Garp really didn’t feel like coming here. Even if the navy of the 16th branch went out for patrol, it was just a gesture near the coast. These 16 branches were rotten to the core, but they also gave him an opportunity to find out about the situation in Rogue Town, and he unexpectedly learned that Karp had returned to the headquarters two days ago.
It was a bit unexpected, but thinking about the great gift he left for him, it was not incomprehensible!
At the same time, Xia Chen also discovered the treasure hiding place of the mouse these days. A rough estimate is that, excluding the gold and precious gems, the cash alone has reached 630 million Baileys.
It is simply an unimaginable huge sum of money.
But think about it, this guy can collude with Aaron, which means that his bottom line is very low, so low that it is outrageous.
“Beep Beep~~” Xia Chen had just packed up the money and treasures of Colonel Mouse and was about to leave when the base suddenly sounded an alarm, which could not be stopped even more than 20 meters underground.
“What’s going on?”
Xia Chen didn’t think that it was a reaction caused by his touching Colonel Mouse’s treasures. After all, he had carefully checked it before taking action, and immediately controlled the water flow to create a pair of eyeballs along the water veins.
This was his simplification of the water clone technique.
The outside scene was transmitted over, and then it was discovered that it was Colonel Mouse who called his men to leave the port urgently.
Xia Chen’s heart moved. Could this incident be the Cocosia Village incident?
“It really is!”
Originally, this week had passed, and Xia Chen thought that because of his intervention, Nami would not abandon everyone and leave alone as in the original book.
Unexpectedly, it turned out to be like this. I really don’t know whether to say it is the powerful correction force of the world, or some other reason.
“We have to go to Kokosia Village!”
“These guys are really worrying!”
After Colonel Mouse’s ship went far away, Xia Chen created a cloud of water mist, covering a small area of the island, and then wrapped the money and treasures with water flow and chased them from the water surface.
It was late at night, and it was normal for the sea to be foggy.
Xia Chen easily jumped onto the deck of the warship. If he met someone, he would directly control the water flow to form a vortex and activate the hypnosis skill. It was like entering an empty space. He found a relatively clean cabin in the cabin, put his things away, and fell asleep.
These days he has figured out the strength of this group of losers. To be frank, Xia Chen can destroy them with a backhand.
——
“Nokigo, I can buy the village back tomorrow.” In the orange grove hut where Nami and Nokigo were, the former burst into tears.
Nokiko tightly grasped Nami’s hand, thinking again and again, and that was why he didn’t tell her the cruel truth.
She originally thought that Nami could figure it out by herself, but for some reason, Nami, whose experience was far more complicated than hers, couldn’t see through it. This was just a delaying tactic of the fishman Aaron.
It only saw Nami’s talent for navigation.
But Nami was so happy now, it would be too cruel to expose it directly.
Nokiko couldn’t bear it.
So the matter was delayed, and Nami’s alcohol tolerance was well known. She was so strong that even Zoro was not her opponent, but she was drunk without alcohol. After a few drinks, she fell asleep on the table in a daze.
Nokiko was helpless.
He carefully carried Nami to the bed, but tears would flow from the corners of her eyes from time to time, and she would mutter something like “sinking”.
Nokigo only thought it was a term used in navigation, and had never heard of this name, because their village was under the management of the Dragon Pirates, and they implemented information control on the village.
Even on weekdays, except for Nami, the entire village was strictly restricted from going out to sea. They could only do some fishing and other work near the coast.
There were resistances in these years, but all the resistances wereAll of them died.
Naval Base No. 16 was not far from Cocosia Village. Because of Xia Chen’s intervention, it was normal that the time was different from the original. Therefore, at dawn, the naval ships of Branch No. 16 arrived at the port of Cocosia Village.
Some people saw the navy coming to the village and were so excited that they wanted to go up and tell the secret, but they were quickly pulled back by the villagers, even though there was no direct evidence.
None of the villagers who went out to the sea to seek help from Base No. 16 came back alive.
And they saw that the direction the navy was heading was not the base of the Dragon Pirates, but the orange orchard of Bellemere’s family.
Originally, the people in the village felt sorry for Nami, the little girl, and quickly arranged for someone with quick legs and feet to go to Nami’s house to tell the news. Unfortunately, they were quietly intercepted by the members of the Dragon Pirates who had been prepared for a long time, and they were beaten, robbed, and humiliated.
It was not until Colonel Mouse and his men arrived at Orange Town and violently kicked open the gate that Nokigo and Nami in the house were awakened.
“Navy?” Nami was startled and instinctively shrank behind Nokigo.
Although she returned secretly from Rogue Town and did not find any signs of being wanted, she had a natural fear of the official power of the Navy.
“Who is Nami?”
“Excuse me, sir, what can I do for you?” Nokigo had noticed that Colonel Mouse’s eyes fell on Nami, but as a sister’s responsibility, she stepped forward, even though her hands were shaking.
“I am Colonel Mouse of the 16th Division of the East China Sea Navy. I received a report that there is a thief named Nami in your Cocosia Village who stole a large amount of money from a nobleman. Now we are responsible for recovering it.”
“Is this impossible?” Nami instinctively felt that something was wrong. In order to raise money, she had used all kinds of means.
But the stolen goods were all ill-gotten gains from the pirates, slave-hunting groups and others. She never had any thoughts that she shouldn’t have about those innocent people, even the Chamber of Commerce doing legitimate business. She has a bottom line.
Although she did steal, those people didn’t dare to look for the navy at all… She didn’t realize the relationship between the slave-hunting group and the Celestial Dragons.
What’s even more strange is that these marines seemed to have a target in mind. As soon as they came in, they scattered to search in their orange orchard.
This made Nami feel even worse!
Sure enough, not long after, Colonel Mouse’s men came with a huge box.
“Colonel, we found it, about 100 million Baileys!” A lieutenant colonel-level man said. From the opened box, it can be seen that there are gold, Baileys, and jewelry in the box, and some Baileys have dried dark red blood on them.
Nami felt dizzy and subconsciously wanted to run over. Noki Gao almost didn’t hold her back until those marines raised their flintlock muskets and pointed them at them.
Nokigo didn’t dare to act rashly, but he still protected Nami tightly. The latter sat on the ground as if she had lost her soul.
“How is it possible? No, it’s impossible…”
“Little girl, just be thankful that someone has come forward to guarantee you. Let’s go!” The two mouse-like whiskers of Colonel Mouse twitched. After saying that, he withdrew with a group of marines.
Nokigo hugged Nami with heartache.
He comforted her softly until Nami came to her senses. She ignored the obstruction and ran out of the orange orchard. Nokigo couldn’t stop her or catch up with her.
“Along, why did you lie to me!” Nami met the fishman Along halfway without any surprise.
A purple shark fishman who looked very sorry for the audience.
