"What are you lowly humans doing??"
Thinking of the things he had done in the past, Arlong felt a chill run down his spine.
"Charge! Kill this bastard!!!"
"Everyone, let's go! Let's take back our village!!"
The villagers roared and swarmed forward.
Arlong's roars were instantly drowned out.
The following scene can be imagined.
Even Reno and Luffy and the others found it somewhat unbearable to watch.
The resentment was too great.
There isn't a single complete piece left.
But this scene, in the eyes of Nami and her sister Nojiko, was so satisfying, even though they were still enduring the nausea.
With Arlong's death, starting today,
They finally regained their freedom!
Everyone looked at each other, then cried tears of joy.
Nami looked up at the bright sunlight peeking through the dark clouds, a slight curve forming on her lips.
It's finally over.
Today was destined to be an important day for Cocoyasi Village and the surrounding twenty villages.
The Arlong Pirates, who had enslaved them for eight long years, were finally completely annihilated.
The villagers of Cocoyasi Village ran to spread the joyous news to the surrounding two dozen villages.
When they heard the news,
For a moment, they found it hard to believe.
However, after confirmation from the Cocoyasi Village villagers, they finally truly believed the news.
Immediately, everyone started cheering.
On such an important day, a banquet was indispensable.
The entire Cocoyasi Village was plunged into revelry.
"Hahahaha... that scoundrel Arlong has finally been defeated, what a relief!"
"Our eight years of hardship are finally over, and we have Sister Nami to thank for it!"
"Of course, and Sister Nami's companions. If it weren't for them this time, we wouldn't have escaped Arlong's rule so quickly."
"Hahahaha, come on everyone, let me toast them properly!"
The villagers stood up one after another, toasting Reno and the other members of the Straw Hat Pirates.
Now that Arlong was dead, they had no more worries.
However, to be safe, they still tied up the other living Fishman, layer upon layer, making sure they were secure.
It's worth mentioning that...
Colonel Nezumi had originally tried to escape during the chaos.
But he was beaten to death by the villagers with sticks, leaving no trace of his body.
His death was truly tragic.
It wasn't until the villagers had vented their anger that they realized even Colonel Nezumi had been beaten to death by them.
However, no one was worried.
According to Reno, if Colonel Nezumi hadn't colluded with Arlong, Arlong wouldn't have been able to enslave them for eight years.
Having understood this point, everyone felt relieved.
All the villagers cheered and rejoiced.
Cocoyasi Village finally had vitality today.
Reno heartily drained a glass of rum.
He noticed Nami's eyes suddenly darken, her face filled with loneliness.
"What's wrong? Isn't Arlong's death something to be happy about?"
