Chapter 35: Chapter 35
The blue sea reflected the golden light, the salty sea breeze blew gently, and seagulls flew in the sky.
In such a beautiful scenery, a dilapidated lifeboat seemed particularly abrupt.
Nami sat at the bow and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Finally escaped. Not all pirates are idiots."
She said, looking at the big bag full of stuff on the ship and smiled happily.
This was the harvest she had successfully obtained last night after a series of events such as selling misery, undercover, and lurking for more than half a month.
She couldn't help but walk over again, opened the bag and counted it.
"There are about 3 million here, plus the previous savings, it is already more than 20 million Berries.
Although there is still a gap of more than 80 million, but when I grow up, I will get more each time.
I believe that in a few years, I will be able to collect all the money." After this calculation, Nami was immediately full of motivation.
After tying the bag again, she took out the sea chart and began to calculate her current position.
"Um...I am here near Sixis Island.
It will take two days to row back to Cocoyashi Village.
Isn't this too slow? How about finding an island to take a ship?
No, no, it's better to go slowly. It will be bad if something bad happens.
Well, it's decided."
After planning the route, Nami put away the nautical chart, hummed a song and rowed the ship with both hands.
The ship began to move forward slowly, leaving ripples spreading on the sea.
The girl was still holding on to her fantasy at this time, but she didn't know that behind her, a galley with a pirate flag was rushing in this direction.
"Damn it, damn it, damn it, that abominable thief, I took her in out of kindness, I will skin her alive when I find her!"
On the pirate ship shaped like a motorcycle, the pirate captain with a crew cut, leather jacket and earrings cursed angrily.
All around him, his brothers were trembling, no one dared to offend him at this time.
After cursing a few more times, the crew cut man was still not satisfied, he took out a rifle and pointed it at a man who was hung up and covered in blood and shot him.
"ah!——"
The man was hit in the calf and screamed miserably.
The minions were shocked again and looked at the unlucky guy with sympathy.
It was this unlucky guy who didn't follow the rules last night and dared to drink secretly while guarding the warehouse.
As a result, the girl found an opportunity to steal the treasure on the ship.
It was for this reason that the leader put all the blame on this man.
He tortured him for two hours with various cruel methods.
"Shut up! "
The pirate captain, who was annoyed by the screams, yelled and fired two more shots.
This time the man didn't make any sound because one of the bullets hit his heart, helping him to escape.
"Damn, who allowed you to die without my permission!"
The furious pirate captain pulled out the long sword from his waist and whipped the dead man again.
He stopped panting until the man was broken into pieces and ordered his men:
"Throw him into the sea to feed the fish. If you don't find that bitch today, all of you will die!"
Several pirates were frightened and hurriedly threw the body parts into the sea.
Others ran to the side of the ship to look around, fearing that they would be killed by the captain if they didn't find her today.
"Oh, that is..."
On the observation deck, the lookout holding a telescope and observing around suddenly found a black spot on the sea.
After stretching his neck to observe carefully, he immediately showed joy on his face and shouted excitedly:
"Captain, I found her. I found the thief!" The captain, who was about to return to the captain's room to drink some wine to cool off, was immediately happy when he heard this.
"Good, I finally caught up with you.
I will remember your contribution.
Next time you grab treasure, you don't have to hand it in."
"Thank you, thank you, Captain."
The lookout thanked him repeatedly, and then excitedly directed the others to the direction where Nami was.
Because they were chasing from behind, Nami didn't notice it at first. It was not until the two sides were very close and could see each other without a telescope that she realized she was caught up.
In an instant, Nami's face turned pale, and she hurriedly used all her strength to paddle the oars to escape.
But how could her old lifeboat escape from a fast paddle ship?
Soon the pirate ship caught up with her, taking care of its treasures.
The pirate captain didn't let anyone fire, but directly let his men capture Nami and her treasures.
Nami knew the consequences of being caught, and picked up a long stick to make a final resistance.
But the pirates didn't give her this opportunity at all. More than a dozen muskets were pointed at her. Nami could only helplessly throw away her weapons and surrender.
"Get down on your knees, you damned girl!"
A pirate thug kicked Nami fiercely on the back, knocking her down on the deck.
Nami's hands were tied behind her back, so she could only let out a cry of pain and let them beat and scold her.
"Hey, Nami, you're back. I thought you ran away with my treasure."
The pirate captain pushed through the crowd with a sinister smile and walked in front of Nami.
Hearing this voice, Nami's delicate body began to tremble.
She had lived on this ship for more than half a month, and she had seen the other side's cruel methods.
Some tortures made her feel nauseous just thinking about them.
What's more terrifying is that those cruel tortures may soon fall on her.
"Captain...."
Nami raised her head carefully, her voice trembling as she tried to make a final struggle.
But the guy didn't want to hear even a word from her.
"Pull her up and pry her mouth open."
As the cold voice reached her ears, Nami's pupils suddenly dilated and she shouted for mercy.
In order to survive, she even brought up Arlong and took the initiative to expose her identity as a member of the Arlong Pirates.
But after hearing this, the crewcut pirate captain was not afraid to stop, but showed an even colder smile.
Taking the exquisite dagger, the captain suddenly took out a handkerchief and wiped it carefully.
"You know what? Brother Arlong is a very good friend to talk to.
I only need to pay him a large sum of Berries every year and I can develop in peace.
I don't have to worry about the mad dogs in the marine coming to trouble me."
