Arlong:" To kill ....me? Shiahahahaha!
You never learn, do you?
How many times did you try to kill me during the eight years you were with us?"

That surprised the villagers.

Arlong:" You tried assassination, poison, sneak attacks...
Were you able to actually kill me?
You must be completely aware that yiu mere humans can't kill me.
Now listen.
I won't kill you...and you can't escape from me...Nami..." he has a heavy look in his eyes.

Arlong:" You'll be our surveyor forever."

Nami's eyes widen.

Arlong:" But, as you know, i'm a good-natured man.
If possible, i want you to be our surveyor of your own free will.
Neheheheheh...
So, how about this?
I'll be killing everyone except you."

Nami:" !!!"

Arlong:" But if you happily come back to the Arlong Pirates and draw sea charts as one of the leaders, I don't mind letting those people from Cocoyashi Village live."

Villagers+Nami:" eh?!"

Arlong:" But i can't let these guys live."

He kicks Sanji a little. They went too far.
"The question is who you'll be with.
You either take my side now and get saved along with the villagers, or be on these weaklings' side and try fighting against me and everyone.
But with these guys you depend on in this shape, it's obvious that it'll be tragedy for you.
Nami...."

The atmosphere gets even more tense and thick.

Arlong has a crazy look on his face.

Arlong:" Are you my friend? Or... their friend..?"

Nami hesitates to answer seems wuite anxious. She's sweating.

Nami: ' Not fair... If i say i'm friends with Luffy and the others, everyone will get killed.
And if i say i'm Arlong's friend, then everyone will be saved.
With my words, everyone will be..."

The villagers get angry and gather up their courage to yell at him.

"That's not fair!!"

"No matter what she chooses, he's not going to five Nami freedom!"

Nami grips Luffy's straw hat harshly.
' But!! '

"Luffy...Help me...."

"....OF COURSE I WILLLL!!!"

Nami: ' I must not doubt his words!'

Nami turns and faces the villagers and speaks with a fake sweet voice.

Nami:" Everyone, i'm sorry!"

She smiles. " Please die with me!"

They all have determined faces.

All:" ALL RIGHT!!"

"WE'LL GO FOR IT!!"

"YEAHHH!!"

And then they all war cry.

Arlong seems.... pissed...to say the least.

Arlong:" I see...Everyone wants to be killed..."

Nami turns and faces Arlong with a determined face on.
