        Chapt. 38: The Scheme Revealed, Nami's Plea, and Her friends Fight For Her Freedom

        "Arlong, those Marine maggots you keep on your pay roll just stole ever berry I had," Nami fumed, storming into Arlong Park, "Whatever happened to all that crap about dying before breaking a promise when it comes to money, bastard?"

"Did they?," Arlong smirked, (apparently, some of the Marines bolted with the money while I was busy taking care of Nezumi), picking Nami up by her throat, "Refresh my memory, when have I ever broke my promise?"

"Don't play dumb," Nami glared, "I know you and the Marines..."

"If I recall correctly, we never agreed to a set period of time when you have to give me the money," Arlong smirked darkly at Nami, squeezing her throat, "So I never broke my promise."

"You pig." Nami spat, running out of Arlong Park.

Back To Nami's House

"Nojiko hold up for a sec.," Genzo yelled towards Nojiko, walking over to where Nami hid the money, only to widen his eyes when he saw it was gone, "Dammit, they must've taken it when we were watching Ivy."

"What's up Genzo..." Nojiko smiled, walking back to Genzo, only to glare when she saw the empty space where the money was, "Let's go, Genzo."

"Right," Genzo nodded, walking beside Nojiko towards the village, "It's time to end this."

Back To Ivy and Shadow (just entering the village)

"What in the world," I uttered with wide eyes, seeing all the villagers with pissed off faces, and carrying weapons, spotting Genzo from a far, kicking Shadow gently towards Genzo, "Genzo, what's going on?"

"The Marines took Nami's money," Genzo glared, looking straight ahead, "Now we're going to attack the Fishmen."

"WAIT EVERYONE," Nami called running towards the villagers with a "smile" but everyone could tell it was fake, "It's not that much money, I can get it back in no time."

"Nami..." I whispered with sad eyes, turning my eyes towards the back of the crowd, seeing Luffy, lightly kicked Shadow's side towards Luffy, "Hey Luffy."

"Hi Ivy," Luffy spoke quietly, staring at the scene in front of him with an intense stare, never looking up at me, "I want to see what's going on."

"Right." I spoke softly, getting off of Shadow, landing next to Luffy, and staring at the scene as well.

"You've done enough, Nami," Genzo smiled down at Nami, placing a hand on her shoulders, "I can't imagine the pain you had to go through when you joined them."

"Just wait," Nami pleaded, holding her dagger in her hands, "I'm not gonna let anyone else get hurt by these monsters. YOU'LL ALL DIE!!!"

"We know," Genzo smiled, lifting his hand off of Nami's shoulder (that made Nami drop the dagger), calling over to the other villagers, and they walked past Nami, "Let's go, it's time to end this."
