Chapter 08: Page 8

No, they have accumulated nearly 70 million Baileys over the years. With another 30 million and two to three years of hard work, Kokoyasi Village and she will be free.

He couldn't take risks, he couldn't risk the entire village. Even if the success rate of this matter was very high, once he lost the bet, with Aaron's character, he would definitely kill everyone in Kokoa West Village to vent his anger.

Nami gritted her teeth. Her hatred for Aaron made her want to find someone to kill him, but her fear of Aaron made her dare not even think about gambling.

"Ms. Nami, what's wrong with you?!"

Seeing Nami biting her mouth until it bled but still enduring the pain, Sanji quickly became worried.

"I am fine."

Nami endured for a long time and finally calmed down, and at this time, Kiana got off the boat.

"Brother Kroobi, we found the woman that Brother Arlong asked us to find. She is on this ship, but what's interesting is that Nami is also on this ship."

"Humph, human women are truly untrustworthy. Brothers, get on board and let that woman experience the terror of fools!"

"Oh oh oh!!!"

Amid the loud shouts of the fishmen, Kroobi and others jumped onto the boat.

"Hey, isn't this Nami, a cadre of our Arlong Pirates? What, you're not trying to tip off the enemy?"

"You can't do this. That woman is the one that Brother A'long wants to catch. If you do this, Brother A'long will be very angry. You should understand the consequences!"

Kroobi spoke sarcastically, but the words of explanation that Nami imagined did not appear. Instead, she looked at him as if he were a dead person.

Croobi: “???”

What's going on? Why do you look like I'm going to die?

PS: The East China Sea where Garp is located actually allows a pirate like Arlong who is the king of the mountains and has become an overwhelming force to the navy. I guess Garp's character design should be the same as Red Hair's that was created later.

Mouse and his immediate superior can be regarded as a fix for Oda's bug. It is only reasonable for a vice admiral-level person to block the information of pirates.

15 How about capturing Kiana and using her to threaten Sanji?

"Brother Kroobi, shall we start now?"

While Kroobi was stunned, the fishmen behind him asked Kroobi, and at this time Kroobi also came to his senses and understood the meaning of Nami's look.

Since Kiana on the opposite side is a bounty hunter, and she once suppressed all the pirates who were preparing to go to the Grand Line in Rogue Town, then her strength must not be too weak.

The fact that Kiana can come near Aaron's sea area shows that he is not very afraid of Aaron. Aaron's bounty is 20 million Baileys, so the problem is easy to explain.

The reason why Kiana is not afraid of Aaron is probably because Kiana has dealt with pirates with a bounty of 20 million or even more than 20 million Baileys.

Considering Nami's seemingly human look, as if she would definitely die at his hands, it is very likely that Kiana has killed a pirate with a bounty of 30 million or even 40 million.

We can even be bolder and assume that the highest bounty for the pirates killed by Kiana may be close to 50 million berries.

Only in this way would Nami look at him with such a dead look. Thinking of this, Kroobi laughed.

"Pfft hahahahaha..."

"Nami, you don't think a decent bounty hunter can defeat Brother Arlong, do you?"

"I admit that there are indeed many powerful bounty hunters on the Grand Line. Pirates with bounties of 20 million, 30 million, 40 million, or even higher, and even some pirates with bounties exceeding 100 million, are likely to be captured by bounty hunters."

"But unfortunately, Brother Aaron is not among them. The bounty on Brother Aaron is 10 million Baileys, but that doesn't mean that Brother Aaron can only be rewarded 20 million Baileys!"

"What do you mean?" Looking at Kroobi's confident look and thinking of the fear that Aaron brought to him, Nami's body was instantly covered with cold sweat. She couldn't even sit on the chair and fell directly to the ground.

"Miss Nami!"

Sanji helped Nami up, then looked at Kroobi and the others with an unfriendly look.

"Hey, hey, hey, don't look at me like that. I'm just stating some facts. Brother Aaron has a bounty of 20 million berries, but that's just Brother Aaron's initial bounty."

"First bounty?"

Sanji understood what an initial bounty was, but he didn't understand what there was to say about an initial bounty.

There really wasn't much to say about the initial bounty, but in order to heighten Nami's fear, Kroobi explained it to Sanji and Nami.

"Brother Aaron's initial bounty was 20 million Baileys. That was a long time ago, and his strength was already underestimated back then. Furthermore, Brother Aaron is no longer the same Brother Aaron who had just set sail."

"As for why Brother Aaron's bounty hasn't increased in all these years. Hey, human woman, since you came from the Grand Line, you should understand what I mean."

"Fishman Dragon was originally a member of the Sun Pirates. After being captured by Borsalino, he was released because the current captain of the Sun Pirates, Jinbei, joined the Seven Warlords of the Sea."

"Since the Shichibukai and their subordinates have become legal pirates, their bounties will be frozen and no longer increase, so their strength is generally greater than their bounties."

"You know a lot, human woman."

Kroobi raised his eyebrows, a little surprised at why Kiana knew so much, but he didn't care and just looked at Nami again.

"Now you understand, Nami, Brother Arlong's strength is not comparable to that of an ordinary pirate of the 20 million level. Hurry up and apologize to Brother Arlong. As long as you admit your mistakes sincerely, Brother Arlong may still forgive you."

"Pfft hahahahahaha!"

"Jiheiheiheiheihe!"

"Jiejiejiejiejiejiejie!"

The fishmen laughed wildly, which made Kiana very dissatisfied.

"Sanji, these fishmen are in your hands. Kill them all except the leader."

After reaching level 50, ordinary pirates are no longer of much use in improving Kiana's strength.

Now that Kiana is level 52, she is too lazy to kill those ordinary murlocs who have no effect on improving her strength, but this does not mean that those murlocs can go crazy in front of Kiana.

"Heh, killing us fishmen, just relying on that useless human?"

"Hey! Who did you call a useless human? And you just scared Miss Nami!"

Sanji silently lit a cigarette for himself, obviously in a state of anger.

"I'm talking about you. To deal with a mere human, there's no need for Brother Kroobi to take action. Leave this guy to me. Let me tell you first, a fishman's arm strength is naturally ten times that of a human!"

A catfish-man rushed towards Sanji, swinging his fist to kill him instantly, but before his fist touched Sanji's clothes, he was kicked unconscious by Sanji.

"Babur!"

"Asshole, how dare you take Babur!"

Seeing their companion being knocked unconscious, the other murlocs rushed forward angrily, but Sanji's fighting power was about equal to that of Zoro. Even with a fatal injury, Zoro was able to defeat all the murlocs except the cadres in a short time.

So, those fishmen who were preparing to gang up on Sanji, the one who rushed towards Sanji the fastest, ended up with a fate similar to that of being chopped by Zoro.

The slower advance was because Kroobi and Sanji had a fistfight and kick fight, but he was not knocked down by Sanji.

"Hmph, he has some strength, but it's not good enough. Treat the injured compatriots. As for this human, I will let him know what will happen if he offends us noble fishmen!"

"Ohhhh! Come on, Brother Kroobi!"

Amid the cheers of the crowd, Kroobi did not forget to glance at Kiana.

"Surround her and don't let her get away. That's the person Big Brother Arlong wants. Once I deal with this human, it will be her turn. Also, Nami, you'd better figure out how to explain this to Big Brother Arlong."

"Don't worry, Brother Kroobi! Human woman, you don't want to offend our Fishman Pirates, do you?"

Seeing that the fishmen were about to surround them, Kiana was about to draw her gun when Sanji rushed over with a quick step.

"You bunch of bastards, stay away from Miss Kiana!"

Seeing that the murlocs were about to touch Kiana, Sanji burst out and instantly eliminated many murloc soldiers.

Kroobi: "..."

How about capturing that Kiana and using her to threaten the cook?

16 Kill Kroobi

Seeing Sanji kill the fishman rushing towards Kiana in seconds, and feeling that his strength was comparable to his own, Kroobi felt something was wrong, as if the situation was out of control.

But Croobi quickly shook his head. "After all, they're just two humans. Since you're standing in his way, I'll kill you first. However..."

"Nami, you don't want to make Brother Aaron angry, right?"

"Well……"

"Catch that woman named Kiana, and I can ask Brother Aaron for mercy for you."

"You bastard, don't bully Miss Nami! Barbecued lamb, roasted whole lamb!"

"Fishman Karate, Hundred Tiles Punch!"

Sanji's foot and Kroobi's fist collided, and both of them took a few steps back. At this time, Nami looked at Kiana with an uncomfortable expression, not knowing what to do.

Fortunately, Kiana is now a Sky Ranger, not a Paramecium. She hit Nami with a palm, and Nami fell to the ground.

"Useless trash, humans are unreliable as expected."

"Who are you calling trash, you bastard? Apologize to Miss Nami!"

Because Nami was insulted, Sanji's kick was obviously much more powerful than before. The successive attacks hit Kroobi, and for a moment Kroobi was completely suppressed by Sanji.

However, as a cadre of the Fish-Man Pirates after all, Kroobi did not suffer a complete defeat in the brief battle.

Although in the original work, Kroobi was defeated by Sanji's combo, because this happened two years before the main storyline of the original work began, Sanji, who had two years less training, did not show a crushing situation in terms of strength.

"Don't underestimate the murlocs, human! Next, I will show you the true secrets of murloc karate! Murloc karate, the Thousand-Wall Punch!"

“Charcoal grilled lamb, fat lamb barbecue!”

Fists and kicks clashed, but this time Sanji wasn't in a good position.

In the original novel, after Kroobi and his men arrived at the village of Kokoyasi, they basically did not take any action except for the initial threat of force.

Even if there are occasionally righteous navy members coming to destroy the Arlong Pirates, they basically focus on destroying other people's ships. The fishmen, who have the advantage at sea, have no intention of fighting others on land.

Now that Chloe is less than them compared to the original, they have had two years of comfortable life, but Sanji has lost two years of experience in being beaten and fighting.

In addition, this time there was no buff for Nami to ask for help, and Kroobi had just watched his companions being seriously injured. As a result of this, Sanji became the defeated one.

After Sanji was defeated, Nami's body moved slightly, but no one cared at the moment.

"Alright, your companion has been dealt with, human woman, come with me to meet Brother Aaron!"

As Kroobi said this, he was about to take Kiana away, but just as Kroobi's hand was about to touch Kiana, Kiana reached out and grabbed Kroobi's arm.

"Why, human woman, do you still want to resist the fish-men?"

Kiana did not answer Kroobi's words, but just grabbed Kroobi's hand with a little force, of course using Kaslana's strange strength.

"Ahhhh!!!"

In an instant, the bones of Kroobi's arm were broken, and his arm became irregular. Kroobi knelt on the ground and screamed in pain.

"Damn human! You..."

Kroobi wanted to say something else, but Kiana's Fire Fairy Type 2 was already against Kroobi's head.

At this moment, Kroobi remembered that his mission was to capture the bounty hunter Kiana, not an ordinary human woman.

Kroobi was so focused on fighting Sanji just now that he forgot that Kiana was a bounty hunter.

Knowing that Aaron's bounty is lower than her own strength, she still comes to Aaron. How could Kiana be an ordinary woman with no strength at all?

At this moment, Kroobi regretted it. If he had known this would happen, he should have dismantled the boat first and captured Kiana more carefully in the water.

Or when he felt something was wrong, he would immediately call Chong to transfer two more cadres from Along Park, or ask Brother Along to come over.

Now he was alone against an opponent he couldn't defeat, and he couldn't even cover himself and escape.

"Wait, you can't kill me!"

With the fire fairy pointing at his head, Kroobi was so desperate to survive that he even ignored the pain in his arm.

"If you kill me, Brother A'long will never let you go! Brother A'long cares about his compatriots the most!"

"If you let me go, I promise not to hold this matter against you. I promise you will become a guest of Along Park!"

"Or you can ask for money. Just name an amount, and we at Along Park will give it to you as long as we can! Nami! Stop pretending to be dead, and say something for me! If I die, Brother Along will definitely be mad!"

"You don't want your village to be completely wiped out because you didn't help me!"

Nami, lying on the ground, was still motionless. At this moment, no one except Nami knew what condition Nami was in.

"Nami!"

"Are you done? If you are, you can die."
