Chapter 381: Nami in shock
While occupying the village of Cocoa West, the Yellow Ape also began the formation of the Assassin Brotherhood.
The Yellow Ape found Watergate, who was still traveling, and appointed him as the de facto head of the Assassin Brotherhood.
There are two reasons for letting Watergate be in charge of the Assassin Brotherhood, one is that Watergate has mastered the Flying Thunder God technique, which is very suitable for assassination.
The second is the character of Watergate, who is kind at heart, but not weak, and shows no mercy to the enemy.
The Assassin Brotherhood in the Yellow Ape Project only needs to do one thing well, and that is to constantly assassinate those who oppress civilians, whether it is the official forces or those pirates, as long as they are evildoers, they can assassinate.
This is the power that the Yellow Ape gave to the Water Gate, if he has the ability, even if he assassinates all the five old stars, the Yellow Ape will not blame him.
Watergate was very interested in this new appointment, although he had only been in this new world for less than a week, he had already seen the decay and darkness of this world.
This kind of task of punishing adultery and eliminating evil, Watergate likes it very much.
After Watergate took over the task, the Yellow Ape transferred 300 men from the first expeditionary force to him and gave him full control.
In Coco Yaxi Village, the assistant of the sheriff Ken was holding a large bag of supplies he had just received, which not only contained grain and oil, but also pieces of meat from the sea king beast that the ninja hunted.
Walking out of the distribution point, Kensuke looked at the villagers who were still in line, and it always felt like a dream.
Is there really such a good person in this world? Not only did he help them eliminate the fishmen, but he also returned all the property exploited by the fishmen to them, and now he also distributes supplies to them for free.
Kensuke thought back to the day he first met with the ninjas, and after the ninjas eliminated the fishmen and announced that they were the administrators of the island, Kensuke and the other villagers thought that the purpose of the group was no different from that of the fishmen, and they wanted to continue to enslave them.
Perhaps, the only difference is that the enslavement of this gang may be slightly lighter, at least to keep everyone alive.
For these oppressed villagers, if only the ruler could be a little merciful, they would be satisfied.
But what Lord Yellow Ape said next made all the villagers, and Kensuke, a fairly knowledgeable magistrate, all stunned.
No taxes are levied for three years!!
This is a treatment that Kensuke has never heard of, even if it is in the story.
If you don't collect taxes from these civilians, what will your adults eat?
Kensuke couldn't figure it out, and the other villagers couldn't figure it out, so many villagers were suspecting that this was just a trick by the newcomers, a trick to win people's hearts, and a lie to deceive everyone.
As soon as this remark appeared, it was recognized by the vast majority of the villagers, who had experienced too much suffering and couldn't believe that the manager would be kind.
But soon, the yellow ape and the ninjas led by him broke this statement, and they told these villagers with practical actions that there are really "fools" in this world.
Yellow Ape asked his ninjas to take out all the money looted by the fish-men and return it to the villagers.
This move, when the villagers were happy, they also had a little bit of belief that maybe these adults were really good people.
In the next few days, when the villagers received their free supplies from the ninjas, when the villagers saw that the ninja took the initiative to help them repair the house and road, and when the villagers saw that the ninja took the initiative to help them reclaim the fields, they began to believe that these ninja adults who called themselves ninjas were messengers sent by heaven to save them.
The attitude of the villagers towards the yellow ape and others has gradually changed from vigilance and fear to love and respect.
In addition to the joy, some of the villagers did not forget one person, the only surviving fish-man "accomplice".
Nokigao, who lives in the mountains and takes care of the orange orchard, finds Kensuke, the sheriff, after the fish people are executed, and after carefully observing for a few days, it is confirmed that these ninja adults who suddenly arrived really did not oppress the villagers.
The reason why Nokigao found Kensuke is simple, she hopes that Kensuke can help contact her sister Nami and tell her sister the good news about what happened in the village, and also remind her sister to pay attention to the mark of the Dragon Pirates on her hands.
Kensuke has a good relationship with Nokigao and Nami's adoptive mother, Bermel, who has been caring for the two poor orphans since Bermel's death, playing the role of a father.
Without being reminded by Nuo Qigao, Kensuke had already thought of Nami, who was alone at sea.
Nami went to sea for the sake of the village, and she made a pact with the leader of the fishmen, Aaron, that as long as she could save enough 100 million Bailey, she would redeem Cocoa West Village from Aaron.
It's a pity that this is just Aaron's conspiracy, he can't let Nami go, a genius navigator, his agreement with Nami is just a lie, and when Nami really saves enough 100 million Bailey, the money will be his.
On the sea, Nami is sailing Luffy's boat towards the island of her hometown.
The harvest of this trip to sea is very high, as long as she sells the stolen ship, she can save enough 100 million Bailey to redeem the village from Aaron's hands.
At this moment, Nami, who was controlling the Merry, had a glint of hope in her eyes.
Successfully returning to the island of her hometown, Nami carried the harvest of going to sea and stepped on the beach.
"Everyone. I am back! Nami looked in the direction of the village and whispered.
As soon as Nami's words came out, two figures fell from the sky and landed in front of her.
"Who are you?" Seeing the stranger who suddenly appeared, Nami instantly became vigilant, and she took half a step back,
"Your name is Nami, Nokigao's sister?" Because Kensuke informed him in time, the ninjas stationed on this island knew that there would be a girl named Nami who might return to the island at any time.
"Who are you?" Nami heard the two people in front of her mention Nokigao, and she became even more nervous.
"Rest assured, we are the guardians of this island, and Aaron and other fishmen have been dealt with by us." One of the ninjas spoke up.
Nami couldn't believe what the ninja said, and she looked at the two in front of her suspiciously.
Seeing this, the two ninjas who were in charge of patrolling and guarding here did not talk nonsense, and one of them disappeared directly in an instant.
After a while, the ninja returned with Kensuke in tow.
"Ah Jian!" Seeing Kensuke, Nami hurriedly shouted.
"Nami, are you alright?" Kensuke walked quickly in front of Nami, looked up and down carefully, and was secretly relieved to see that Nami was not injured.
"Nami, these ninja-sama are good people, they helped us eliminate the fishmen."
Hearing Kensuke's words, Nami's eyes widened, as if she had been stunned by the sudden good news.
"Is this true?" Nami asked, stammering a little.
Kensuke nodded hurriedly, "Really! You can follow me back to the village to find out, Nokigao has been waiting for you. ”
Nami had tears streaming down her eyes, and she turned her head slightly and raised her hand to wipe her tears.
Struggling to hold back the tears in her eyes, Nami looked back at the two ninjas in front of her, "Thank you!" Thank you for your help! ”
"Don't thank us, if you want to thank Hokage-sama!" The older of the two ninjas, the older one, said with great political awareness.
Nami followed Kensuke and returned to the village.
On the way back to the village, she met the ninjas who used ninjutsu to reclaim the land, and when she entered the village, she saw the villagers with smiling faces and a renewed spirit, and saw ninjas living in harmony with the villagers.
What she saw and heard along the way made Nami's mind rise with countless questions.
Where the hell do these people come from? Why should they help their village? What are they going to do?
After greeting the villagers, Nami and Kensuke went to the orange orchard on the mountain.
Walking into the house in the orange grove, Nami saw Nokigao cooking, her face full of smiles like the rest of the villagers.
Nami rushed forward and hugged Nokigao, startling Nokigao, who was cooking.
I haven't seen each other for a long time, and this pair of sisters with deep feelings naturally have indescribable words and inexhaustible love.
However, the most important thing Nami wants to know now is the origin of those ninja-sama in Kensuke's mouth.
Nokigao put the cooked food on the table, and the three of them sat around the table.
Nami listened to Kensuke's narration while eating.
At first, Nami could still listen while eating, but when she heard the back, she didn't care about eating at all.
What the Yellow Ape and the others did after landing on the island, even Nami, who has been at sea all year round and has experienced many things, was surprised to hear it.
In her mind, the same question arose as Kensuke, what are they trying to do?
He did not charge money, distributed supplies for free, and spontaneously repaired houses and streets for the villagers.
"Do we have any treasure here?" That's all Nami can think of.
"Nope!" Kensuke shook his head, then continued, "I'm actually wondering what the purpose of these ninja adults is. Just now, before you returned, I boldly asked the yellow ape for the reason. ”
"Lord Yellow Ape told me that he came to liberate us, and their purpose was to liberate all the oppressed commoners, and they wanted to build a country where there were no nobles, no privileges, and everyone was equal."
After Kensuke's words were finished, Nami and Nokigao froze and didn't come back to their senses.
"To be honest, this is the first time I have heard of such a great goal, and if such a country really appears, it must be heaven." Kensuke said wistfully.
Bang!
Contrary to Kensuke's vision, Nami slammed the table and stood up excitedly.
"No, you can't let them do that."
"Nami, what's wrong with you?" Nokigao asked curiously.
Kensuke looked at Nami suspiciously, not understanding why she had such a big reaction.
"These people's goals are very good, but once it gets out, then they will become the public enemies of all nobles, and we will also be surrounded by all kingdoms and navies."
Nami, who has been away for many years, knows that the navy and the kingdoms will never tolerate such thoughts.
If the village were to be run by this group of people, the whole village would be implicated.
"Nami, let's not talk about whether we have the ability to let the ninja-sama go. Even if they respect our opinion and agree to leave, who will keep us safe after they leave? The army of the kingdom, or the navy? Kensuke understood Nami's thoughts, but he also saw the reality clearly.
They are the common people at the bottom, they have no power to make choices, they can only be forced to accept the rule of good or bad.
"Leave it to me, and I'll try to convince them!" Nami thought of the 100 million Bailey she had saved, and if she gave this money to the ninjas, she should hopefully let them change their stronghold.
"Nami." Nokigao looked at Nami worriedly.
Nami laughed, she wanted Nokigao not to worry, "If they're really good people like you say!" will understand our difficulties. As a thank you for their help, I would like to give them the 100 million Baileys I have saved. ”
Nami, who made up her mind, was led by Kensuke to the villa where the fish people lived when they were alive, which is now the residence of the yellow ape and the headquarters of the expeditionary force.
"Uncle, is there something wrong?" In the makeshift office, the yellow ape, who had just finished handling things, was sitting in a chair smoking a cigar.
There is not only one village on this island, but the other two villages, after being liberated, also need to communicate and manage, and the supreme person in charge of the yellow ape met with the representatives of each village.
The yellow ape, smoking a cigar, shifted his gaze from Kensuke to Nami, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.
"Kensuke told me about you, and I heard that you are a genius who is proficient in the art of sea navigation and charting."
Perhaps because of the influence of the shadows of her childhood, Nami's heart suddenly tightened after hearing the words of the yellow ape, and she was worried that these people would take a fancy to her like those fish people.
However, in addition to worrying, Nami suddenly has a new idea, and if they really like herself, she may be able to convince them in this regard.
At the cost of joining them, beg them to change their stronghold, spare the village, and spare the island.
Thinking of this, Nami took the initiative to step forward and generously admitted, "Yes! I was proficient in meteorology and navigation, and I was able to make charts. ”
"It's a talent! Would you like to join us? The yellow ape sent out an invitation.
Yellow Ape invited Nami to join, not because he coveted beauty, but simply felt that instead of letting someone like Nami join Luffy's pirate group and become an adventurer in pirate skin, it was better to use her talents in a more suitable place.
Compared to becoming One Piece, Yellow Ape feels that what he is planning is the real big business.
When Nami heard the yellow ape's request, she couldn't help but secretly say in her heart, sure enough! They've got their eye on themselves, and it's a great opportunity!
"I'm willing to join you, but I also hope you can promise me one condition." Nami took the opportunity to say.
"Oh! Tell me about it! The yellow ape asked with a smile.
Nami took a deep breath and said, "I can join you, and I can also give you the 100 million Baileys I have saved, I only have one request, I will leave this island with you." ”
After saying that, Nami looked at the yellow ape very nervously, waiting for the unknown result.
