"Hahaha, I'm back, Nami, it's quite early this time."
Aaron looked at Nami walking into the yard, grinned, stretched out his hand towards Nami, and opened his webbed palm.
With a smile on her face, Nami lost her usual cold demeanor. She walked in front of Aaron and said, "Yes, because she has already obtained enough money."
As she spoke, Nami placed the box in her hand in front of Aaron and said, "Here are 100 million Baileys. You can count them."
Aaron glanced at the box, raised his head and laughed a few times, opened his hands and said: "There is no need to count, I believe you will not make a mistake, Nami, then Cocosia Village will be returned to you."
Seeing Aaron speaking so cheerfully, Nami couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Then, I'm free too, I can leave."
"certainly."
Aaron grinned and said, "But... if you leave, the situation will be a little different."
When Nami heard Aaron's "Of course", endless joy began to well up in her heart, but the subsequent "No" made Nami's joy come to an abrupt end.
"Yes, something is different."
Nami's voice began to become a little uncoherent.
Aaron spread his hands and said: "Look, this sea area is my territory, Aaron. If you want to redeem the village, it is based on you being my partner. I can take everything in that village." I leave it to you to decide.”
"But if you leave my pirate group, then we will no longer be companions, so the village located in my territory... tsk tsk tsk."
Aaron grinned at this and said, "But Nami, you are free and can leave here at any time. I will not stop you."
“…”
After hearing Aaron's words, the smile on Nami's face disappeared first, and then the blood gradually faded away. Biting her lip, she clenched her fists hard and gritted her teeth and said: "This is not the agreement! This is not the agreement you promised! !”
"I have fulfilled all the promises I made to you. I will return the village to you and set you free. But I never promised what happens after that. I never said I would evacuate this island and leave my territory. .”
Aaron tilted his head and looked at Nami, grinning and said: "Or... you don't leave my pirate group? In that case, we will still be companions, your village belongs to you completely, and I will not interfere anymore, but if you escape, Then your villagers will die because of you, hahahaha."
"Despicable and shameless..."
Nami trembled all over and spoke with almost gritted teeth.
Although she had expected such a situation, it was still difficult for her to accept it. She could not accept the fact that there was almost no difference after completing the agreement.
No.
There is still a difference, that is, as long as she does not leave the Aaron Pirates, Cocosia Village will be safe, and Aaron will not attack the villagers of Cocosia again.
But…
Nami lowered her head, clenched her fists, and her body was shaking.
But in that case, she would not be able to leave the Aaron Pirates, which meant that for the sake of the village, she would forever lose her freedom and would always be dominated by Aaron.
[I…]
The figure of Berumel appeared in Nami's mind, as well as the figures of Nokigao, Ajian and other villagers, and her eyes were filled with tears unconsciously.
Although she was full of reluctance and pain, she could not give up the village and the lives of the villagers for her own freedom. Although protecting the village had to pay the price of her freedom, it was worth it for her to exchange for the entire village.
This decision is so difficult.
For Nami, who yearned for freedom and adventure and was only fifteen years old at this time, it was so difficult that she was constantly trembling and tears rolled down her cheeks, but she was never able to speak to Aaron.
But Nami was still strong after all. Even though she was in despair and knew that there was darkness ahead, she gritted her teeth and made a decision for the sake of the villagers.
However.
Just when she raised her head and was about to speak to Aaron, a hand stretched out from behind and gently placed it on her head.
"Don't make that kind of decision."
Ron appeared behind Nami and said in a soft and gentle voice: "You are my navigator, how can you stay here and draw charts for the rest of your life?"
Nami's body froze, stopped shaking, and the tears stopped flowing, but it was replaced by another kind of trembling.
Ron finally intervened.
Even in the face of a monster like Aaron, he still stood up.
"Huh? Who are you?"
Nami was so emotional that it was difficult to speak, but Aaron frowned and looked at Ron who walked behind Nami and spoke.
Ron's hand gently slid from Nami's head to her shoulder, took a slight step forward, and grinned at Aaron, showing his white teeth.
"I'm a fisherman."
As the words fell, Ron held the wand in his right hand and pressed it forward. At the same time, he hugged Nami with his other hand and jumped back suddenly.
Aaron frowned at first, vaguely feeling that Ron's appearance was familiar, but just when he remembered that Ron seemed to be the person Nami rescued from him some time ago, a crimson flaming arrow pointed towards He flew over.
"!!!"
At this moment, Aaron felt the fear of dying and fell into a state of suffocation almost instantly. He instinctively broke the recliner and hid behind him.
But the distance was too close, and the speed of the flaming arrow was so fast that he could hardly react before being hit by the flaming arrow.
boom!
The blazing flames exploded, completely engulfing Aaron and the corridor.
The house in Aaron's domain behind was ignited in an instant, and the fire was burning, accompanied by a roar of extreme pain.
"Ah!!!"
Aaron's vitality is indeed extremely powerful. Even if he received a blow from the flaming arrow head-on, he did not die instantly, but instead burst out with an earth-shattering scream.
At this moment, Aaron couldn't understand why Ron could suddenly launch such a terrifying fire attack. He also couldn't understand why Ron had such ability even though he was just a man who was almost dead that Nami saved.
The pain had made him lose the ability to think.
Aaron rolled all the way from the corridor to the courtyard, struggling wildly to try to put out the flames on his body, but he couldn't put it out at all.
Ron, who jumped back with Nami in his arms to avoid the explosion range of the flame arrow, rolled again with Nami in his arms to avoid the rolling Aaron.
Nami was so shocked by the scene before her that she could barely react.
"Ahhh!!"
Aaron was still roaring in pain and instinctively rolled forward. There was a pond connected to the sea. Just rolling in could extinguish the flames.
Yet he wouldn't get a chance to escape.
Ron put down Nami in his arms, stood up from the ground, held the elf wand again, looked at the rolling Aaron, shook his head and said: "You can still be alive like this, your vitality is really tenacious... No, it should be said that the fishman Does his scaly skin resist part of the power of the fire?"
As the words fell, Ron waved the wand in his hand again.
The howling wind all over the sky turned into seven or eight sharp wind slashes, slashing towards Aaron on the ground, and completely enveloped Aaron the moment before he threw himself towards the pond.
Click! Click! Click!
It wasn't cut into pieces in an instant, but there was a clicking sound like cutting bones, and blood was scattered everywhere.
Aaron's screams stopped suddenly, and his body lost the last of its vitality in mid-air, turning into countless pieces of flesh and blood, which fell into the pond, completely dyeing it red.
“…”
Nami, who had just sat up from the ground, stared blankly at this scene.
At this moment, she only felt as unreal as a dream. That Aaron, who was as powerful as a monster and that neither other pirates nor the navy could do anything to him, died like this? !
So... simple
