Ross didn't know what stage Luffy and others were on their journey, and he didn't deliberately ask the intelligence team to inquire, because the East China Sea was in chaos now, and it was hard to tell whether Luffy and others' route had been affected.
However, he knew very well that this Cocosia Village was Nami's hometown, so he was not surprised to encounter the Golden Meili here.
The sailing routes of the two ships are all along the coast of Cocosia Village.
Ross did not deliberately control the sea currents to increase the speed of the ship, so the Golden Merli sailed faster and gradually approached the ship where Ross and Fujitora were riding.
Almost immediately after Rhodes' ship docked, the Golden Merrie also docked.
When Ross and Fujitora stepped off the ship, a figure on the Golden Meili also jumped off the ship. He had short orange hair and was undoubtedly Nami.
Now eighteen years old, she has a perfect figure, not inferior to Robin, and her short orange hair adds a bit of vigor and vitality.
"Hey! You two!"
After Nami jumped off the boat, she immediately shouted at Ross and Fujitora: "Who are you? What are you doing here?"
There are occasional outsiders in Cocosia Village, but once the fishman Aaron knows about it, he will have people come over and steal all the money and throw it into the sea.
Having witnessed this tragic scene many times, Nami would not sit idly by and ignore it.
Ross glanced at Nami twice and said with a slight smile: "I happened to pass by here and planned to get something to eat and rest before leaving."
Nami had already guessed that Ross and Fujitora were passing by. When she heard Ross's words, she immediately put on a cold face and said:
"Outsiders are not welcome here, get out of here quickly!"
Ross was slightly startled when he saw this, and then thought that Nami was alone on the boat. She might have robbed Luffy's boat to go home, which meant that the island was still ruled by the fish-man Aaron.
In this case, Nami's attitude is normal.
Fujitora leaned on his wooden staff, stood next to Ross and said, "Is this your territory? I'm sorry for disturbing you."
Seeing Fujitora's kind attitude, not getting angry even when he was sarcastic, and being blind, Nami decided in her heart that the two honest people in front of her could not be persecuted by Aaron.
"Do you know who Aaron is?"
Nami showed a cold and arrogant look and said: "This is Aaron's territory. There is no place to rest. If you don't want to die here, leave immediately!"
"Aaron?"
Fujitora scratched the back of his head, slightly confused, and said, "I'm very sorry. I'm ignorant. I wonder who this Aaron is?"
Seeing that Fujitora didn't even know who Aaron was, Nami was even more certain that the two people in front of her came here accidentally, otherwise they wouldn't have been so bold to come here.
"It doesn't matter whether you heard it or not. You just need to know that your life will be in danger if you stay here. Get out of here as soon as possible. Don't blame me for not warning you!"
Nami said as she walked towards the island.
If they threaten like this, those two people should leave voluntarily, she thought in her heart.
"This 'Aaron' seems to have a bit of a bad reputation."
After Nami's back disappeared from sight, Fujitora turned to look at Ross.
Ross nodded and said: "Yes, he is notorious in this area. The bounty seems to be 20 million Baileys."
“…”
Fujitora said dumbfounded: "I forgot this is the East China Sea."
He said it so horribly, it sounded like he was a Hawkeye level figure in the Shichibukai, but in the end the bounty on his head was not even comparable to that of his subordinates.
"This Aaron actually has some background."
Ross smiled and said: "In the past, he and Jinbe were both members of the Sun Pirates. Later, the fish-man Tiger died, and he and Jinbe parted ways."
"That's it."
Hearing Jinbei's name, Fujitora nodded.
Kaixia Jinbei, one of the Shichibukai, is indeed a figure. Since this Arlong has this connection with Jinbei, he is not an unknown person.
"Come on, let's go to the island for a walk."
Rhodes walked towards the interior of the island. Although this would most likely be the next attack area of the Golden Lion, he would not wait here.
Fujitora thought of Nami's cold tone asking them to leave here before, and couldn't help but shook his head, and followed Ross to the depths of the island.
…
In Aaron Park.
After warning Ross and Fujitora, Nami came all the way here.
"Oh, I'm back. I've been away for such a long time. How was your harvest this time?" Aaron, who was sitting on a deck chair basking in the sun, saw Nami walking into the park and grinned at her.
If you do the math, Nami should have almost saved up to 100 million beli. Of course, he would not let go of such a good navigator who could draw sea pictures, but he did not intend to break his promise, so he had to think of a way. He breaks his promise and can continue to control Nami.
Nami didn't know what Aaron was thinking.
After working hard for so long, the goal of saving 100 million beli and redeeming Cocosia Village was almost achieved. Thinking of this in his mind, the sadness of parting with Luffy and others became slightly less intense.
Just as Aaron grinned, greeted his men, and was about to hold a banquet, an earth-shattering roar suddenly came from outside Aaron Park.
Roar!
This roar made countless people's ears ring.
Nami was staggered by the shock and almost fell down. She felt a buzzing in her head. She couldn't help but cover her ears, showing a trace of horror, not knowing what happened.
"what happened?!"
Aaron's expression changed at the sound, and he stood up suddenly.
The fish people around looked at each other for a while. You looked at me and I looked at you. No one knew what was going on.
"Um...Boss Aaron, I think I heard Colonel Mouse say before that there are ferocious beasts in the nearby sea and have attacked several islands..."
"Beast?"
Aaron snorted coldly and said: "What kind of beast? We fishmen are the real beasts. Come with me and have a look. It seems that there is meat to eat tonight!"
Almost as soon as Aaron finished speaking and was about to walk outside, the wall of Aaron Park exploded, and a five- to six-meter-tall silver-backed giant ape smashed into the wall and barged in. .
"ah!"
The roar of the wall being smashed made Nami scream, and she subconsciously ran away to the other side of Aaron Park.
Seeing that the wall of Aaron Park was smashed into pieces, Aaron was furious. When he looked at the silver-backed giant ape, his eyes showed a cold light.
"How dare you come here..."
Whoosh!
He walked towards the silver-backed giant ape.
