Chapter 22: The Village of Cocosia

Cocosia Village.

It is a quiet and peaceful little village.

The public security management is fair and kind, and the doctors are benevolent and benevolent.

A large naval base is nearby.

Close to the sea, the fishing industry is well developed. The land is fertile and the cultivation industry is developed.

Don't worry about food and clothing.

In the troubled times of the "Sea Pirate Era", it is already a very happy thing to be born in a peaceful village like Cocosia Village.

It's a pity that God always likes to see people suffer, not make people happy.

The sun hung high in the sky, and the waves rolled in from the horizon, hitting the reef, splashing layers of water like broken jade, as if telling the restlessness of the day.

On the horizon in the distance, a few rays of light and shadow could be faintly seen, and no one would have thought that this was the arrival of an ominous and nightmare.

Cocosia Village, the house of Ah Jian.

Cute little Nami, wearing a cool little skirt and short orange hair, looks like an overgrown orange from a distance.

Kicking her little feet, Nami, who was sitting on the stool, lowered her head and whispered, "I ran away from home..."

Opposite Nami, stood a middle-aged man in an old-fashioned police uniform, Ken.

Strangely, on his police cap, there is also a small windmill, and as Ah Kin's head shakes, the windmill also "whirring".

Listening to Nami's words, Ken gritted his teeth, his face flushed, until he reached the limit, and he couldn't hold back anymore.

"Hahaha..."Ah Jian slapped the table, opened his mouth wide and smiled, "So you came to me?"

After speaking, Ah Jian raised his head, opened his mouth wider, and continued to smile: "If you run from outside the village to the village, you will be called running away from home!" It's so easy! Hahahaha..."

Looking at Ken's 'haha' laughter, little Nami's head lowered even deeper.

After a while, Nami said vaguely, "Perhaps, for Aunt Bermel, it would be happier without us." ”

"Hmm?...... Why do you say that?" Hearing Nami's whisper, the smile on Ken's face suddenly disappeared, and the windmill above his head stopped spinning.

As if realizing that she had said something she shouldn't have said, Nami turned her head away, not daring to look into Ken's eyes, and continued, "If we're here, we'll be poor...... It will also be because I am hated by the villagers. ”

Because Bermel has to take care of two children at the same time, he has few working hours and a meager income.

Nami also likes to read books related to sailing, but these books are not cheap, so Nami often steals money or books in the village.

Slowly, some people in the village began to have some complaints about Nami, but it was far from being annoying.

But Nami has always felt that it is because of her existence that Bermel is poor and unliked.

After listening to Nami's explanation, the corners of Ken's mouth didn't feel upturned again, and the little windmill spun again.

"Hahaha... Little Nami has reached the age where she will be embarrassed..."I remember that when I first met Nami, Nami was still a baby curled up in swaddling clothes, "Don't worry! Bermel is also a well-known bad boy in the village at your age. ”

"Ah?...... Aunt Bermel too..."

"Don't be too surprised, you're not too bad compared to Bermel."

Ah Jian turned around, looked at the village outside the window, and continued as if reminiscing: "But ah, when that Bermel left the village and came back to become a good navy, the whole village was surprised! ”

"Navy?"

"yes, I'll never forget what happened at that time..."

"On that stormy day, Bermel returned to the village on a battered warship, carrying two children in his arms, covered in blood, and shouted: 'Come and save these children!' They have a high fever! Please! Call the doctor...'

Those two children are three-year-old Nuo Qi Gao and you who are still babies. ”

"But... But she said she picked it up from under the bridge. ”

"That's all Bermel lying to you..."

Just as Ken was reminiscing about Nami's events, the village of Cocosia was on the shore of a small island.

A huge ship, docked on the shore.

From the boat, a group of tall figures walked down.

And the people in the small village don't know what is happening on the coast.

"Nami!"

The door of Ah Kin's house was suddenly opened.

A little girl who was slightly taller than Nami was standing in the doorway.

The little girl, with slightly curly purple hair and a strap skirt that is some years old, is the older sister who is three years older than Nami, Nuo Qigao.

"You're here, Nami." Nokigao said.

Ah Jian patted Nami's little head and said, "Come, someone has picked you up, go home quickly." ”

"There are pirates !!"

Just as Nami was about to go home with Nokigao, there was a sudden shouting outside.

Ah Jian's face changed instantly, and he hurriedly pushed Nami and Nokigao and said, "Quick! It's dangerous here! Go to the forest! ”

"But, Aunt Belmel, she..."

Nami had to say something, but Nuoqi, who was a few years older than her, was very sensible, pulled Nami, and quickly got into the forest through the back door, her short stature instantly obscured by the lush trees.

"One adult, 100,000 Baileys. A child, 50,000 Baileys. Aaron, a fishman with a long shark nose, said to the villagers below.

The other fishmen stood in front of each house, checking whether there were any hidden people in the house.

"How much did you charge, black belt?" Aaron asked another strong, fish-man with both a human body and a fish-like face.

"About a little over 250 million," replied the black belt.

The villagers clenched their fists and gritted their teeth.

"Alright, fellow citizens, that's all for today."

Ah Long waved his big hand, and was about to call someone to close the team, when a fat-headed fishman suddenly said: "Big brother! Look there! ”

Following the guidance of the fat-headed fishman, Aaron saw a puff of cooking smoke slowly rising.

Ah Long's face was gloomy, and he said in a deep voice: "Almost, I missed it." ”

The group of dragon pirates followed the direction of the cooking smoke and came to the front of Bermel's house.

Ah Jian and some other villagers also quietly followed behind.

At this time, Bermel was still concentrating on preparing today's lunch.

Because of a quarrel with Nami in the morning, Bermel decided to make a big meal at noon to repair his relationship with little Nami.

"Hmm... Would you like to open a bottle of wine for them?" Bermel thought with a smile.

"Bump... Bump..."

There was a knock on the door twice, and Bermel instantly turned around, "Are they back?"

Aaron stood outside the door, waiting for Bermel to open the door.

"The door is unlocked, come in."

Hearing this, Aaron pushed the door and entered.

The moment the door opened, Bermel behind the door rushed out with a spear in his hand and a backflip kick.

The leg was high in the air, and due to the blessing of the power of inertia, he kicked Ah Long's neck.

Aaron was knocked to the ground, and Bermel put the barrel of the gun into Aaron's mouth.

"I can't imagine it, there is a navy in this village.

Why did the pirates of the Great Voyage come to the small village of Cocosia?"

Bermel seemed to be back in the navy, with a sinister face and a freshly lit cigarette in the corner of his mouth.

"Hahahahaha......"

After seeing Bermel knock out Aaron, the fish people of the Dragon Pirates seem to have seen something very interesting.

He laughed mockingly at Bermel.

Bermel looked nervous, pushed the barrel down hard, and said loudly: "What's so funny!!" ”

"Click!"

The barrel of Bermel's gun was instantly crushed by Aaron.

"I'm laughing at the incompetence of your inferior race!"

Aaron looked at the frightened Belmel with contemptuous eyes.

He grabbed Bermel and slammed it to the ground.

At this time, Nami and Nokigao, who wanted to run home to save Bermel, happened to see this scene.

Nami was about to shout when Nokigao suddenly covered Nami's mouth from behind and shook her head at Nami.

"Click..."

Aaron stepped on Bermel's shoulder, and the sound of bones cracking could be heard.

Aaron lifted his foot again and aimed it at Bermel's head and was about to step on it.

"Stupid Bermel! Don't lose your life because of a boring sense of justice! Some battles are pointless! Some problems can be solved with money! ”

Ah Jian, who came with him, shouted loudly to stop him.

Ah Long slowly retracted his foot and said, "Yes, one adult is 100,000 yuan, and one child is 50,000 yuan."

Female Navy, do you choose to pay, or die?"

Seeing this, Ah Jian hurriedly came over to help Bermel, who was covered in injuries.

"Belmel, how much money do you have at home?" Ah Jian asked softly.

"It's not enough, it's enough for 100,000 Baileys at home." Bermel said dyingly.

"One hundred thousand Baileys... Enough is enough. Ah Jian stood up and said to Ah Long, "Bermel has 100,000 Baileys at home, and I will go and get it to you." ”

At this time, the octopus fish man Xiaohachi, who had eight arms, said: "Boss, it seems that there is a meal for three people in this house. ”

Ah Jian hurriedly said on the side: "Bermel invited me to eat with the doctor today, and we will go and prepare 100,000 Bailey." ”

As he spoke, he helped Bermel back to the house to get the money.

After a while, Ah Jian handed over the money to Ah Long and pretended to be relaxed: "Great, everyone has paid the money, so that the whole village is safe." ”

Aaron, who had collected the money, said, "Hmm... Alright, let's go back, fellow citizens. ”

"Great, so you can be saved," Bermel held on to his injured shoulders and stood up reluctantly, "Two children, 100,000 Baileys." This 100,000 is my child's share, my share, not enough. ”

Ah Jian shouted angrily: "Belmel, you! ”

"I'm sorry, Mr. Ah Kin, I can't say anything like 'no family'." Bermel said with tears in her eyes.

"You... Have children?" Ah Long turned around and said in a deep voice.

Bermel wiped her tears with her palms and could no longer accompany her daughter's tears.

"Even if it's just a mom who talks about it... They... It's my child, right?"

"Belmel!"

"Belmel!"

Hiding on the sidelines, Nokigao and Nami could no longer control themselves, and ran to Belmel in tears, and the mother and daughter hugged each other tightly.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Nokigao, Nami.

I'd love to buy you a lot of stuff... New clothes... Books... Wait a minute... Wait a minute...

I'm sorry, but I never did it well...

What a good mother does..."

Bermel cried and said something she might never be able to say again.

"These are your daughters, aren't they?"

Bermel raised his head, looked at Aaron and said, "That's right, you're not going to do anything to these children, are you?"

"Of course, as long as you die obediently."

"Damn!" Ah Jian on the side instantly picked up the pistol on his waist and aimed it at Ah Long, "You give me death!" ”

The black belt on the side, at the moment when Ah Jian was about to shoot, slashed at Ah Jian with a sword, leaving a long wound on Ah Jian's face and chest.

"Hahaha, it's just a low-level human being, just teach him a lesson, you don't have to kill him." Aaron laughed on the side.

As he spoke, Aaron raised his pistol and put it on Bermel's forehead.

"You're the first... Punished... Die for boring love. ”

"Nokigao, Nami, I love you."

Bermel closed his eyes and waited for death to come.

"Whoosh." A sound of breaking the air sounded.

A small pebble hit Ah Long's pistol accurately, and the pistol exploded instantly.

"Whew, I'm glad I caught up."

Luffy looked at the full fish-man and said with a smile.
