"Hahaha, I'm back, Nami, it's early this time."

Aaron looked at Nami who had walked into the yard, grinned, and reached out to Nami, opening his palm with fish flippers.

With a hint of a smile on her face, Nami walked in front of Aaron and said, "Yes, because I've got enough money." ”

As she spoke, Nami put the box in her hand in front of Aaron and said, "Here is 100 million Bailey, you can count it." ”

Ah Long glanced at the box, raised his head and laughed a few times, opened his hands and said, "No need to count, I believe Nami you will not be wrong, then, Cocosia Village will be returned to you." ”

Seeing Aaron open his mouth so cheerfully, Nami couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "Then, I'm also free, I can leave." ”

"Of course."

Ah Long grinned and said, "But...... If you leave, things will be a little different. ”

Originally, when she heard Aaron's 'of course', Nami's heart began to swell with endless joy, but the subsequent 'but' made Nami's joy come to an abrupt end.

"Yes, it's different."

Nami's voice began to grow a little incoherent.

Ah Long spread his hands and said, "You see, this sea area is my Ah Long's territory, and you want to redeem the village, which is based on the fact that you are my partner, and I can leave everything in that village to you to decide." ”

"But if you break away from my pirates, then we will no longer be companions, so the village is located in my territory...... Tsk tsk. ”

Aaron grinned at this and said, "But Nami, you are free, you can leave here at any time, and I will not stop you." ”

“……”

Hearing Aaron's words, the smile on Nami's face first disappeared, and then the blood gradually faded, biting her lip, she clenched her fists hard, gritted her teeth and said, "The agreement is not like this!" That's not what you promised!! ”

"I promised you all the promises, the village will be returned to you, and you will be set free, but I have never promised anything after that, I never said that I would evacuate this island and leave my territory."

Aaron tilted his head to look at Nami and grinned, "Or...... You're not leaving my pirates? In that case, we will still be companions, and your village will belong to you completely, and I will not ask again, but if you escape, then your villagers will die because of you, hahahaha. ”

"Despicable and shameless ......"

Nami shuddered, almost speaking in a voice of gnashing teeth.

Although she had expected such a situation, she still had difficulty accepting it, she could not accept the fact that it was not possible at all, and it made almost no difference in fulfilling the agreement.

No.

There is still a difference, that is, as long as she does not leave the Aaron Pirates, the village of Cocosia will be safe, and Aaron will not do anything to the villagers of Cocosia again.

But......

Nami lowered her head, her fists clenched, her body trembling.

But in that case, she won't be able to leave the Aaron Pirates, which means that for the sake of the village, she will lose her freedom forever and can only be dominated by Aaron forever.

【I ......】

Nami's mind came to the figure of Berumel, and also the figure of Nokigao, Ah Jian and other villagers appeared, and her eyes were filled with tears unconsciously.

Although she was full of unwillingness and pain, she could not give up the lives of the village and the villagers for her own freedom, although it would cost her freedom to protect the village, but it was worth it for her to exchange the entire village alone.

The decision was so difficult.

It was so difficult for Nami, who was only fifteen years old at the time who longed for freedom and adventure, that she was constantly trembling and tears rolling down her cheeks, but she was never able to open her mouth to Aaron.

But Nami is still strong after all, even if she is desperate in her heart, even if she knows that there is darkness ahead, but for the sake of the villagers, she still gritted her teeth and made a decision.

However.

Just as she raised her head and was about to open her mouth to Aaron, a hand reached out from behind her back and gently rested on her head.

"Don't make that kind of decision."

Ron appeared behind Nami, and said in a soft and soft voice, "You're my navigator, how can you stay here and draw charts for the rest of your life." ”

Nami's body froze, she stopped trembling, and her tears stopped flowing, but in her place were another kind of trembling.

Ron finally intervened.

Even in the face of a monster like Aaron, he still stood up.

"Huh? Who are you? ”

Nami was so emotional that it was difficult to speak, but Aaron frowned and watched Ron who walked behind Nami speak.

Ron's hand slid gently from Nami's head onto her shoulder, and he took a slight step forward, grinning at Aaron, revealing a mouthful of white teeth.

"I'm a, fisherman."

As the words fell, Ron held the wand in his right hand and pressed forward, while his other hand grabbed Nami and jumped backwards.

Aaron frowned at first, vaguely feeling that Ron's appearance was somewhat familiar, but just as he remembered that Ron seemed to be the person Nami saved from his hands some time ago, a crimson flame arrow flew towards him.

“！！！”

At this moment, Aaron felt the fear of imminent death, and almost instantly fell into a state of suffocation, he instinctively broke the chaise longue and ducked towards the rear.

But the distance was so close, and the speed of the flaming arrow was so fast that he could barely react before he was hit by the flaming arrow.

Rumble!

The blazing flames exploded, completely engulfing Aaron's entire person and the corridor.

The house in the Aron Realm behind was ignited in an instant, and the fire burned brightly, accompanied by a roar of extreme pain.

"Ahhh!!hhh

Ah Long's vitality is indeed extremely powerful, even if he took a blow from the flame arrow head-on, he did not die instantly, but broke out with an earth-shattering scream.

At this moment, Aaron couldn't understand why Ron could suddenly launch such a terrifying fire attack, and he couldn't understand how Ron could have such an ability when he was just a person who was almost killed by Nami.

The pain had made him lose the ability to think.

Aaron rolled down the hallway into the courtyard, frantically struggling to extinguish the flames on his body, but could not extinguish them.

Ron, who jumped back with Nami in his arms and avoided the burst range of the flame arrow, rolled again with Nami in his arms, avoiding Aaron who rolled over.

Nami was already stunned by the scene in front of her, and she could barely react.

"Ahhh

Still screaming in pain, Aaron instinctively rolled forward, a pond connected to the sea, and rolling into it could extinguish the flames.

However, he will not have a chance to escape.

Ron put down Nami in his arms, got up from the ground, re-grasped the elven wand, looked at the tumbling Aaron, shook his head, and said, "It's still alive like this, and the vitality is really tenacious...... No, should it be said that the scale armor skin of the fish-man resisted some of the power of the flames? ”

As the words fell, Ron waved his wand again.

The wind howled in the sky, turning into seven or eight fierce wind slashes, slashing towards Ah Long on the ground, enveloping him entirely before Ah Long pounced on the pond.

Click! Click! Click!

It didn't cut into pieces in an instant, but it made a clattering sound like cutting bones, accompanied by blood splattering everywhere.

Aaron's screams came to an abrupt end, and his body lost its last vitality in midair, turning into countless pieces of flesh and blood, and spilling into the pond, completely staining the pond red.

“……”

Nami, who had just sat up from the ground, stared blankly at this scene.

At this moment, she only felt a dream-like unreality, that powerful as a monster, whether it was other pirates or the navy could do nothing against Ah Long, just died?!

So ...... Simple?
