Lord of the Stars of the Grand Line

Just then, Nami walked over from not far away, her pretty face flushed, and she actually put her arm around Luo Feng's neck, saying softly, "Then... this is my way of repaying you."

"On behalf of the villagers of Cocosia Village, I thank you."

Luo Feng, who was already quite annoyed by the first part of what Nami said, was about to lash out when Nami's sobbing followed, and a few tears even trickled down his neck.

This calmed Luo Feng down for a moment.

"The outcome is always good, relax." Luo Feng reached out and gently patted her back, comforting her.

Ah Long was completely defeated, and their village was liberated. All the pent-up frustration accumulated over the years vanished in an instant!

“But Nami, the villagers of Cocoyasi will thank me on their own; you don’t need to represent them.”

"So this doesn't count as repaying me. Just do what I told you before I came."

Luo Feng smiled and looked at Nami in his arms, speaking meaningfully.

Oh no...

That would be awkward!

Upon hearing Luo Feng's words, Nami looked up at him, her small face streaked with tears, a pitiful sight indeed.

But Luo Feng knew that the tears were real, but the little thief cat's trickery on him was also real!

"Don't think you can get away with this. I remember everything you said when you came here," Luo Feng said softly, leaning down, his face carrying a hint of ill intent.

Feeling the hot breath on her ear, Nami's face flushed red, and she glared at Luo Feng, about to explode.

Just then, a lewd, sinister laugh came from outside the courtyard wall...

"It seems this village has completely betrayed us, daring to join forces with pirates and oppose our navy and the government!"

"Chirp chirp chirp... Pirates, surrender!" 8.

Chapter Seventy-One: The Disgusting Rat Colonel

As the lewd voice faded, a man wearing a rat hat and naval uniform appeared, followed by a large group of marines.

Upon seeing the person who appeared before him, Luo Feng's expression became somewhat strange...

Is that really such a coincidence?

The one who came was none other than Colonel Rat, who was in charge of this sea area but secretly cooperated with Ah Long and his gang to make money through dirty means!

To be honest, this guy not only has a lewd voice, but he looks absolutely lewd!

It had whiskers like a rat on its nose, and it looked at Luo Feng and the others with a wicked grin, its mouth almost reaching its ears, and it kept chirping.

"Navy..."

Upon seeing the newcomer, Nami and Nochiko's expressions turned cold.

The same applies to Ah Jian and a group of villagers who had just arrived.

Ah Long had been committing evil deeds here for more than ten years. At first, they were hoping that the navy would come to rescue them. Later, "957" and his crew did get their wish and saw the navy ships docked at the village port.

But in the end, the navy left without saying a word.

The reasons behind this are intriguing.

After so many years of disappointment, the villagers had long since given up hope on the Navy. As for Nami, who was a member of the Fishman Pirates, she even knew that the Navy was secretly colluding with Arlong, taking bribes, and wouldn't care about their village.

So even though she had the right to go to sea at will, she never expected to seek help from the navy. Instead, she relied on her own hard work to raise money in order to save the village.

She had long been disillusioned with these scoundrels, and the only one who knew about it was Nochigao. They dared not spread the word, fearing that it would completely extinguish the villagers' hope.

"Navy, what are you doing here!"

"You are not welcome here, and there are no pirates like you here!"

Nochi, holding a wooden stick, stepped forward, his small face cold as he glared at Colonel Rat and the others.

"What... are you doing? Chirp chirp chirp..."

Colonel Rat's lewd voice came again, and then he said, "Of course, I'm here to rescue you."

"This village has been enslaved by the Arlong Pirates, and we have come today to arrest them."

"Furthermore, little girl, your collusion with pirates is no small matter. If you can hand over all the 'stolen money' you've collected over the years, this colonel will consider leniency and reduce your punishment. Hehehe..."

As he spoke, Colonel Rat glanced at Luo Feng and the others, his meaning quite clear.

"No need. Ah Long and the others are already dead. You can take their heads. As for the stolen money you mentioned, there's none here. All we have here is the money that has been plundered from the villagers over the years. What, do you want to get your hands on that too?"

Nami stepped forward, her expression somewhat unpleasant, looking at Colonel Rat's face with utter disgust.

These navy guys... when they needed them, they were cooperating with Arlong. Now that Arlong is down, they've come at the right time to reap the rewards and kills.

That face is so ugly!

"The school will naturally not take the villagers' money. I'm talking about the stolen money you've brought back from various pirate crews over the years. That will be confiscated, you know, hehehe..."

Colonel Rat's face was sinister. He had come here to collect Ah Long's monthly "contribution" as usual, but unexpectedly, when he was almost at the amusement park, he heard the villagers cheering. Ah Long had fallen!

This surprised him greatly, after all, Ah Long was so powerful, yet he could be defeated!

中但这种感四8群五2觉仅仅出现了一04瞬三，七转就苍一消灵失5了6。

Given his personality, since he's missing out on monthly 'contributions' in the future, he'll naturally want to maximize his benefits!

One is Ah Long's head. In the East China Sea, this is a considerable achievement. If we bring it back, his rank might just jump to senior colonel!

Besides, another purpose was naturally to collect the 'ransom' Nami had accumulated over the years.

He already knew about this. Arlong had secretly conspired with him to intercept Nami when she was almost finished accumulating enough, and then split the spoils equally between them.

Now that Ah Long is dead, all those tens of millions of dollars in embezzled funds are now his alone!

The greedy Colonel Rat naturally jumped out impatiently, without even considering which powerful figure had defeated Ah Long and his gang.

Upon seeing the unfamiliar faces of Luo Feng and the others, he felt even more at ease. Even if this young upstart had some strength, how could he pose a threat to them?

You know, even Arlong wouldn't dare to easily attack the Navy! How could a mere human brat have such courage? This is completely different from the fierce and aggressive behavior of pirates.

Even pirates on the Grand Line generally avoid directly confronting the Navy, since the implications are different.

Therefore, based on these factors, Colonel Rat was not afraid at all and had already figured out how to deal with these people.

In his view, as long as the other party obediently handed over the money and let him take Ah Long away, he wouldn't mind letting them go. But if they dared to disobey, then...

The cannons of the warships in the harbor are pointed right here!

Upon hearing Colonel Mouse's words, Nami's expression turned even uglier. Only now did she realize which sum of money he was referring to!

"Damn it, Ah Long, it seems he really didn't intend for me to redeem the village... How could he do such a thing? Unforgivable!"

Nami trembled slightly with anger, turning to look at Arlong, who lay lifeless on the ground, her teeth clenched...

Meanwhile, Nochi and A-Jian stepped forward and patted her back to comfort her. They had now understood what was going on and were staring at Colonel Rat with dark faces.

"You won't hand it over, huh? Well then, the school will search you ourselves. Once you're found, none of you will escape being held accountable!"

"You guys, go to the orange grove and search it thoroughly!"

Seeing that Nami and her group remained silent, Colonel Mouse immediately gave the order to search the orange grove, clearly indicating that he already knew the location of the treasure!

"I'll talk!" Nami suddenly spoke up, ready to confess directly.

She didn't want Luo Feng and the others to directly antagonize the Navy because of her. Having sailed the seas for so many years, she knew what that meant, and it was completely different from the nature of attacking Arlong!

The former is much more serious!

"Chirp chirp chirp, this is it..."

"Captain, should we make a move?"

Colonel Mouse had barely finished speaking when a voice suddenly came from behind the navy, interrupting him.

Everyone was stunned, even Colonel Rat turned around and looked behind him.

It was Zoro and Bartolomeo, the two green-haired men who had returned, standing behind the Marines and others, blocking the Marines who were about to search!

As soon as they arrived at the port, they spotted naval warships docked on the coast, so they immediately turned back and ran back.

At this moment, Zoro's sword was already drawn, and Bartolomeo's hands were raised, blocking a large group of beachgoers, waiting for Luo Feng's order to make a move!

"...Damn it, they really are pirates! You wicked people, how dare you actually collude with the enemy!"

Seeing the benefits that were about to be in his grasp snatched away, Colonel Rat's face darkened. He took out a Den Den Mushi and said into the other end, "The villagers here are treasonous. Prepare for artillery fire and wipe out the pirates. Target: the entire Cocoyasi Village!"

Chapter 72 Let me show you the high-end power on the high seas!

"Don't make a move, I'll give you the treasure!"

Nami shouted loudly and began to stop them.

"Captain, you've already helped us a lot. The village has been saved, so the money is no longer needed. Just give it to them."

"You mustn't attack the navy, otherwise you'll face..."

Nami looked flustered. She was just a little girl and had never seen anything like this before. She knew Luo Feng's personality and was afraid that he might wipe out the group of marines if he was displeased.

Then Luo Feng and his group won't have an easy time at sea either! She was worried about Luo Feng and his group, after all, the entire Cocosia Village owed him a debt of gratitude.

In the end, we haven't even repaid their kindness, but instead brought them so much trouble. That would be truly embarrassing!

However, before she could finish speaking, Luo Feng, who had walked over, interrupted her.

Luo Feng's expression remained calm. He placed a finger to her lips, then smiled and said, "No need for that. They're just a bunch of scum in the Navy. I'll take care of them for you!"

"It seems that the navy is really corrupt these days, that such trash can get a high-ranking position."

At this point, Luo Feng turned around and smiled meaningfully, "What do you think, Robin, Vivi?"

"Hehe, I agree with what the captain said."

"Mr. Luo Feng is right. It's infuriating that someone like that can be a navy officer!"

Both Robin and Vivi expressed their opinions, with the former appearing calm, having witnessed the darker side of the world before.

The latter, on the other hand, looked indignant, angry on Nami's behalf.

Both of them had suffered persecution to varying degrees because of the navy, so naturally they couldn't stand these guys.

"Chirp chirp chirp... You're really asking for trouble! Hey, gunner, are you ready? Bombard this school!"

"The people in this area are all wicked and deserve to die!"
