Sailing: Me, a Saiyan, starts by clashing with Robin.

"What's wrong? Why is everyone so quiet?"

Ah Long chuckled and pretended to listen intently, "I know, you're all eager to pay, aren't you?"

Haha, what a sensible bunch! Since that's the case, I won't dampen your enthusiasm. Come on, line up and pay according to the rules.

At his command, two merman henchmen sneered and pulled out a large sack to fill with money.

The villagers looked at each other and soon spontaneously began to line up, putting the peggs they had worked so hard to earn that month into the sacks.

Outside the queue, however, there were several people who never joined the line, silently gritting their teeth and waiting until the very end.

Only after everyone in line had paid did Aaron put away the sack containing 2000 million Berries and turn his attention to them.

"Heh, it seems a few of you have some objections to my orders."

Qiu immediately stepped forward and dragged the three guys who hadn't paid out of the crowd.

They were an elderly woman in her sixties, a middle-aged man in his forties, and a young man in his twenties.

After being pulled out, the widow knelt down tremblingly before Ah Long.

"Lord Alon, please, please give me a little more time."

My husband went to another village to sell goods and hasn't come back yet. When he returns, our family will have money.

"Selling goods? He should know that today is the day he collects his monthly paychecks, why didn't he come back early!"

"It's all because of that tsunami that trapped him in the village. If we give him a few more days, he will definitely be able to get back in time."

Faced with the old woman's desperate pleas, Ah Long shook his head regretfully.

"That massive tsunami really did cause a lot of harm, but since you're weak humans, we fish-men aren't afraid of any bullshit tsunamis."

After making his usual sarcastic remark about the villagers' human identity, Ah Long waved his hand and shooed the old lady away:

"Alright, I'll let you off this time for the sake of the money. Once your husband comes back, he should come to Aaron's Paradise and hand over 30 Berries, and I'll let you go."

"300,000?! Isn't it 200,000?" The old woman covered her mouth in surprise, not understanding why there was an extra 100,000.

Instantly, Ah Long's eyes turned cold, and he grinned, revealing a mouthful of sharp teeth.

"What? Isn't my time money?"

"No, no, 30, I... I will definitely pay on time."

After saying those words, the old woman seemed to lose a lot of energy.

She didn't know if her husband could earn 30 Berries on this trip; if not, she would only have a few more days to live.

When she returned to the group in a daze, Ah Long turned his attention to the two men.

"And what about you? And what's your reason? Is it also because of the tsunami?"

Chiu glared at the two men whose legs were trembling with displeasure, and suggested to Ah Long:

"Hmph, Brother A-Long, I think we should just kill them. Humans are all lies and excuses."

"Hmph, don't say that, chirp. I'm very kind, I should at least listen to their reasons."

Under the malicious gazes of the fishermen around them, the two villagers' eyes welled up with tears of despair.

Like Hu Zhu, they were also fishermen, but their situation was much worse than Hu Zhu's. Not only did they lose their fishing boat, but their house also collapsed in the earthquake.

Their family members are still receiving treatment at the village clinic.

After being hit repeatedly, they naturally couldn't afford to spend a single penny.

My new book is now available! I hope all you book lovers and supporters will give me some flowers, monthly tickets, encouragement to update, and rewards. I would be extremely grateful.

Chapter 55 A Man's Determination, a Man Who Feared the Fishmen!

(Although there are few chapters, they will all be replaced with longer chapters after the book is published, and the word count will only be higher than before the book was published.)

Seeing them with their heads down, unable to utter a single explanation, Ah Long grinned menacingly and slowly stood up.

"It seems you two aren't going to pay up. In that case, there's nothing we can do but pay with your lives."

As he spoke, Ah Long clenched his webbed fist and stepped forward, intending to personally execute the two humans.

Seeing two villagers about to be killed, many villagers closed their eyes because they couldn't bear to watch. Some opened their mouths to try to stop them, but in the end, only the two of them spoke up.

"Wait!" *2

One of them was A-Jian, the village guard, and the other was Nuoqi Gao, who lived outside the village and had just arrived after receiving the notification.

"Wait a minute, Ah Long!"

Nojiko pushed her way through the crowd. With her short blue hair and dark skin, she had large tattoos on her arms and chest, making her look like a delinquent girl.

Ah Jian didn't expect Nuoqi Gao to suddenly come over, and he tried to stop her from speaking, but it was too late.

Ah Long also recognized Nojiko and asked with a strange laugh:

"Isn't this my most trusted navigator, Nami's older sister?"

"What, are you trying to plead for them?"

"No, I didn't have that thought."

Nojiko's eyes revealed a resolute determination and a well-hidden hatred.

"I know you too well. Even if I plead for them, you won't forgive them."

"Hahaha, you're right, I've always only cared about money, not people."

Ah Long openly admitted his profit-driven nature, stating that apart from his own kind, other humans were merely tools for him to make money.

If these tools can't make him enough money, then what's the point of having them?

"So, you're here to pay their money?"

"It's not me, it's beauty."

Mentioning her younger sister, Nuoqi lowered her head and clenched her fists, feeling an indescribable heartache and guilt. Her voice was dry as she explained:

"Nami would always leave me some money before going out to sea, so that I could make up for it if anyone couldn't afford to pay."

"This money had never been used before, but with the tsunami and earthquake, everyone lost their income, so I'm making up for everyone's share on Nami's behalf."

"Nojiko, Nami, she..."

The villagers were surprised and grateful upon hearing this, but also felt deeply ashamed.

The two villagers who couldn't pay their bills instantly showed joy at surviving a disaster, but the next second their faces turned to self-reproach for their own incompetence.

Even though his legs were trembling with fear, the middle-aged man gritted his teeth and stepped forward to refuse:

"How can this be! Nami has already suffered enough for us and for the village."

How could I possibly use the money she risked her life to earn outside!

Having said that, he turned around and roared at Ah Long with a very firm tone:

"Ah Long, just kill me. As an elder, how can I be so shameless as to let Nami suffer over such a trivial matter?"

"Take my life! There isn't a single coward among the men of Cocoyasi Village!"

The man crossed his arms, ready to face death.

Seeing this, the young man gritted his teeth and stepped forward.

"That's right. While we were enjoying our peaceful lives in the village, Nami was constantly outwitting and fighting against the ruthless pirates!"

"Come on, take my life too!"

Nojiko froze on the spot, then anxiously scolded:

"Uncle Azao, Brother Dazhu, you two idiots, what nonsense are you talking about? Don't let Nami down!"

"Don't say anything more, Nojiko. This is a man's determination. Please thank Nami for us."

Aza and Otake had made up their minds, and no amount of persuasion from Nojiko could change their minds.

Ah Long let out a surprised "Eh," and said, "I didn't expect you guys to know about my promise with Nami."

Ah Zao closed her eyes in remorse, tears instantly streaming down her face.

"I knew it all along. That idiot girl, even though I scolded her so harshly and drove her away, she was still thinking about us."

How could I possibly accept her kindness and cling to life in this world after all this...?

As he spoke, he took a deep breath and suddenly opened his eyes.

"Ah Long, you heartless, greedy, and cunning bastard!"

Dazhu, having given up all hope, started cursing at Along:

"You ugly monster with a saw-nose, you keep calling humans lowly, but fishmen are not as noble as humans at all."

You, who say this all the time, are the one who's most insecure inside!!!

The two's audacity stunned Nojiko, leaving her speechless.

As for Ah Long and the other fishmen, their faces had long since turned as black as the bottom of a pot.

Especially Ah Long, Da Zhu's words, "You are the one who is most insecure," completely broke through his mental defenses and touched a memory he least wanted to recall.

"You human bastard!!!"

Ah Long was completely enraged. His eyes were bloodshot, and beneath his blue skin, veins throbbed, making him look ferocious and terrifying, especially with his gaping maw.

Although Da Zhu had prepared himself mentally, he was still so frightened by A Long's appearance that his heart started pounding uncontrollably.

But he gritted his teeth and didn't move an inch, closing his eyes in fear as he awaited death.

Just as Ah Long was preparing to tear this lowly human apart with the most bloody and cruel methods, he suddenly heard someone shouting and running towards him.

"No, this is terrible! Brother Arlong! That person, that person is here! He's brought Nami to Cocoyasi Village!!"

The shouts came from Ah Long's fishman henchmen who were stationed on the coast to scout and prevent villagers from escaping to sea.

Even Ah Long, who was in a fit of rage, had his eyes clear instantly after his underling mentioned that person.

He turned his head, his expression one of astonishment, large beads of sweat trickling down his forehead, and roared at his henchman running towards him:

"How...how is that possible? How could Nami know someone like that?!"

The younger brother approached Ah Long, leaned on his knees, and gasped for breath before straightening up, still shaken, and said:

“It’s true, Brother Arlong. I saw Nami follow him off the ship and bring him towards the village.”

Instantly, the other fishmen panicked and hurriedly gathered around Ah Long, anxiously discussing what to do.

The villagers looked at each other in bewilderment at the fishman's panicked expression, as if he had encountered his natural enemy.

These days they've been preoccupied with their livelihoods and haven't been in the mood to read the newspapers, so naturally they don't know that a remarkable person has arrived in Donghai.

According to the fish-men, Nami seems to have brought back a powerful figure that even the fish-men fear.

On the shore of Cocoyasi Village, after mooring the boat and going ashore, Nami looked at the large ruins on the shore that were clearly hit by something, and turned to give someone a resentful look.

Beetz, sensing something amiss, turned to meet her gaze, raised an eyebrow, and deliberately tried to scare her:

"What, do you have a problem with me?"

Nami immediately shook her head rapidly, "No, no, no, how could that be?"

"Ha, better not to," Bitts said, turning his gaze back to the ravaged coastline and scratching his head in frustration.

"However, it's really a headache, even this place has been affected."

I wonder what the situation is like in other ports. If even docks are gone, berthing ships will become a real problem.

When Tina heard that Bitz's biggest concern was how to stop the ship, her sense of justice flared up, and she glared at Bitz, accusing him:

Do you know how much impact your attack has had on the East China Sea?

Because of your reckless actions, the lives of all residents of the East China Sea have been affected to varying degrees.

Fortunately, it was daytime, and most people weren't home. If it had been nighttime, countless people would have died in the subsequent earthquakes.

"You're even blaming me now, who knew this world was so fragile."

This is nothing, yet it has already caused harm affecting a quarter of the world.

If it weren't my first time using the Galic Cannon, and if my combat power were any higher, this damn planet would have been blown up!
