Grand Line’s Lord Of Shadows

"Revenge?"

Hearing this, little Nami trembled.

In her memory, the gentle figure of her adoptive mother, Bell-mère, who had appeared in her dreams countless times, appeared in her mind again.

Her eyes suddenly became moist.

With her mouth pursed, she stared blankly at the young and handsome figure in front of her.

These powerful and ferocious fish-men…

There is also that invincible existence that is like a nightmare to her, Arlong.

It's really like a bigger fish trampled them mercilessly under their feet, and they can only let it be slaughtered.

"Will you also occupy this village like Arlong?"

Little Nami mastered her courage and asked through gritted teeth.

"No, I'm not interested in occupying this area..."

Luke smiled slightly and said, "Have you heard of the Grand Line?"

"That's the paradise of adventure; there's a Prehistoric Island that is home to various ancient creatures, and the Sky Island is located at an altitude of 10,000 meters…"

"Even the hometown of these guys, the beautiful Fish-Man Island, located under the sea in Grand Line!"

"Do the places recorded in these books really exist?"

Little Nami was dumbfounded and a little shocked.

These were really too exciting for her.

"Of course! We came from the Grand Line and have been to most of these places…"

Luke nodded affirmatively.

On the Thriller Bark, Robin, Reiju, Perona, and others were surprised. 

They did not expect that Luke would recruit this little girl.

Apart from being cute, there doesn't seem to be anything special about her, right?

For a moment, the eyes they looked in Luke's eyes were full of weirdness.

Is this guy so outrageous?

Little Nami's eyes lit up.

She clenched her fist tightly while feeling a little excited.

Immediately afterward, Luke raised his left hand.

"Whoosh..." 

A zombie on the Thriller Bark holding a pistol delivered his gun to little Nami, making her tremble all over and look at Luke subconsciously.

"I have to say that at such an age, these fishmen value you so much. You do have extraordinary sailing talent... If we cultivate it, I believe you will become the best navigator in the world!"

Looking at Nami who was a little hesitant but not unmoved, Luke smiled and said: "As long as you follow me, the life and death of these guys will be decided by you!"

"You really won't hurt other people in the village like Arlong and his gang?"

There was no rush to take the pistol.

Little Nami looked at Luke eagerly and couldn't help but ask loudly again.

"Of course, although the words of pirates are generally not trustworthy… but to me, there is no value here!"

Luke shrugged, looked at Nami, and asked with a chuckle: "Besides, you don't naively think that you can really use 100 million Belly to redeem the village from these guys, do you?"

"Even if you manage to raise enough money, you won't be let go by these guys who have lost their courage and only dare to hide in small corners like East Blue where no one cares about them!"

"After all, negotiation also requires strength... Obviously, you don't have the strength to make them follow their words!"

Nami was shaken all over, and she looked at Luke blankly.

Unexpectedly, the other party even knew about her agreement with Arlong.

"I know… but I have no other way. This is my only hope!"

Nami lowered her head.

She clenched her fist tightly while her whole body was shaking.

Tears of grievance kept falling from her eyes.

How could she not know that she was seeking skin from a tiger?

There is no guarantee at all that when she has worked hard to raise 100 million Belly in the future, the other party will fulfill his promise.

But other than trying to hold on to what seemed like the only hope.

There was nothing she could do.

"Just like now, I can only hope that you can keep your word and don't rely on force to enslave this village like Arlong and his gang!"

Wiping tears, she trembles and grabs the pistol.

She felt her footsteps were extremely heavy, and she staggered over.

"Arlong..." Looking at Arlong, who was stepped on by Luke.

Nami's eyes showed complex emotions such as fear, anxiety, uneasiness, and panic.

After all, these fishmen have already cast an endless shadow on this thirteen-year-old girl.

But beyond that were strong hatred and resentment…

"Nami, you little brat, how dare you betray me?"

Noticing Nami's actions.

Arlong, with blood all over his head, struggled furiously.

"Nami, you..."

"Damn it, little brat..."

"How dare you betray us? I'm going to kill you!"

"We'll kill all the people in Cocoyasi Village sooner or later!"

Not only him but also the fishmen who couldn't move around.

They glared angrily at Nami and kept cursing.

However, the next moment.

The muzzle of the gun was aimed directly at Arlong, recalling the voice and smile of her adoptive mother and the humiliation of having to force a smile and grovel on her enemies.

"Bell-mère, I've avenged you!"

Nami, with tears streaming down her face and full of sadness, closed her eyes, kept crying there, and finally pulled the trigger.

At this moment, in a certain sea area in East Blue.

The sea was full of broken shipwrecks and traces of battle.

The smell of blood and corpses were everywhere.

If other people in East Blue who often pay attention to current affairs saw the flag on those broken ships, they would be shocked. 

It was the pirate flag of the Krieg Pirates, which has a huge fleet of dozens of ships and is known as the overlord of East Blue.

"Well, it really took a lot of effort..."

On the tattered large pirate ship, Lafitte, who was a little embarrassed, wiped the blood on his sword and said with a smile: "There are quite a lot of people!" 

"No way; after all, there are several thousand people, and the ammunition I carry is almost not enough!"

A transparent, tall, and thin figure carrying a gun appeared from the side; it was Van Augur.

 "Yo Ho Ho, although they are not so strong, this guy's strength is indeed inconsistent with the bounty..."

Brook looked at the thin but fierce-looking young pirate lying at his feet: "Five million Belly is indeed a bit low!" 

"Indeed, his combat power should be stronger than his captain!"

Wyper nodded, although the opponent's strength is not strong, he will not underestimate the opponent too much.

After all, Wyper believes that people who can be favored by Luke are generally not too simple. 

"Damn it, my fleet… my dream...Who are you?"

A tall figure in golden armor fell there with a bruised face while struggling hard.

But Wyper mercilessly stepped on him.

In an instant, a current rushed towards him, and he screamed miserably.

"Ahhhh..."

"Be quiet!" Wyper glanced at him and spoke lightly.

"Captain Krieg..." 

Gin was trembling and struggling hard next to him, but he had no strength to stand up.

Then he looked at Wyper, Van Augur, and others in front of him while gritting his teeth: "Why do you keep us two?"

He has discovered the huge gap between the two sides.

It can be said that the two of them are alive now, not because they are lucky.

It is because the other party deliberately spared his and Krieg's lives.

Looking at Gin, who remains tenacious, Lafitte smiled and said: "I heard that Krieg has done you a favor. Join our Netherworld Pirate, and we will spare this guy's life; how about it?"

After saying that, he looked at Krieg, full of playfulness: "What do you think, Captain Krieg?"

"What?"
