"Let me make this clear beforehand: I haven't forgiven you for what happened last time. The only reason I helped you was because that man not far away seemed capable of taking care of the fishmen. Don't misunderstand."

Nami, with her back to Karina, spoke without turning her head.

"Moreover, that octopus fishman's knife should be nearby. Quickly pick it up. This is a battlefield. If you don't want to die, you need to pick up a weapon and protect yourself."

After giving instructions to Karina, Nami didn't even have time to react, her gaze never leaving the fishmen for a moment.

Attacking the fishmen in this situation would not only put her in danger, but also mean giving up the chance to redeem Cocoyasi Village. In the past, she would never have been able to do such a thing, but just now, after seeing the battle between Li Mingyuan and A Long, she couldn't help but step in to save Karina.

Never before had she felt as if she truly had hope of defeating Ah Long as she did now.

So far, despite countless assassination attempts and poisonings, she has failed to kill Ah Long. This is the first time she has seen someone actually push Ah Long to this point.

"Hey! Nami, what do you mean by this!?"

The fish-men, who were still in shock, finally came to their senses and glared angrily at Nami. "How could you do something like this?! Are you even thinking straight?!"

"What do you mean? I'm the one who should be asking you that."

"Why do you think I'd still be on your side when the Arlong Pirates could be destroyed at any moment?"

Nami retorted, "Is it strange that I'm now your enemy?"

"Nami!!"

"So, that's how it is."

"From this moment forward, I will officially become an enemy of the Arlong Pirates."

Nami's eyes were clear, and she smiled, saying, "Nice to meet you."

Nami gripped the stick tightly, one end of it pointing towards the fishmen, her hands incredibly steady without the slightest tremor.

Seeing Nami's behavior, the fishmen were immediately enraged.

Even though they have persecuted Nami countless times and drawn up sea charts for Arlong's crew, who killed her mother, Nami is still a member of Arlong's crew. The tattoo deeply engraved on her left arm is proof of that.

However, now that a formidable enemy is at hand, Nami, who used to obey their every command, has turned against them.

"This is betrayal!"

"Nami, you're standing with those unknown guys now. Have you thought about the consequences if they lose? We'll hunt down and kill every single villager in Cocoyasi Village, no matter where they are!"

A fishman stepped forward and said to Nami in a gloomy tone, "It's not too late! Kill the guy next to you as an apology, and we can treat this as a joke."

"...Even in this situation, you still don't want to kill me?"

Upon hearing this, Nami couldn't help but scoff, "Unfortunately, since I've chosen to stand up today, I don't plan to go back."

"This is probably the only time in my life I'll ever have the chance to wipe you all out in one fell swoop like this."

Nami glanced out of the corner of her eye at Li Mingyuan, who was still standing in the distance, seemingly keeping watch over the situation inside the main building of Arlong Paradise. A flicker of emotion crossed her eyes as she recalled the scene of the battle just now.

How powerful.

She could vaguely sense that the mysterious man might not even have used his full strength. Facing all the fishmen's attacks, he always exuded an air of ease and composure, as if the situation was unfolding exactly as he had predicted.

In this situation, if the other party isn't an idiot, then they likely have the confidence to control the situation.

Nami couldn't help but wonder if even if she hadn't come to save Karina, the other side might have been able to protect Karina. But she didn't dare to gamble, since Karina only had one life.

The man remained composed, but the Arlong Pirates, on the other hand, were beginning to show signs of weakness.

"If their previous conversation was true, then the three executives of the Arlong Pirates should all have been killed. All that's left are these fish-men in front of me, some fish-men who were out there—and Arlong himself."

Nami took a deep breath, barely managing to calm her trembling heart, and continued to stare intently at what was in front of her.

Victory is within reach.

"Damn it! There's no other way..."

"Nami can't be killed yet! Everyone, attack together and subdue her quickly!"

Seeing Nami's determined look, the leader of the fishmen could no longer hold back and hurriedly said to the other fishmen around him, "If Brother Arlong goes all out, Arlong Paradise will collapse, and he will definitely be able to deal with that guy in no time! But we can't let Nami die here, Brother Arlong will definitely be angry."

"Yeah! Let's all go together!"

As the name "Brother Arlong" was mentioned repeatedly, the fishmen's expressions immediately turned extremely fierce. When they looked at what was in front of them again, they no longer hesitated and rushed towards Karina and Nami.

Karina gripped the knife she had picked up tightly, and Nami's expression was also tense.

Faced with the power of the fishmen, the two humans could not possibly resist for long. They were well aware of this fact, but they couldn't care less about that at the moment.

"ha!"

Nami shouted and slammed the wooden stick in her hand down on the head of the fishman charging at the front.

Karina, wielding her sword with both hands, also slashed at a merman, staggering backward.

Not long after.

The two were surrounded by the fishmen.

On the other side, Li Mingyuan watched the changing situation without showing any sign of tension.

At this moment, his gaze was particularly focused on Karina. He was a little surprised. He hadn't expected that, just because of Nami's encouragement, this girl, who didn't have much of a fighting role in the original animated film, would actually dare to draw her sword and fight the fish-men. Was it because the two of them had a really good relationship? Or had Nami's emotions affected Karina?

However, Karina seems to have completely forgotten his promise to protect her.

"never mind……"

"It's a pity that we couldn't find a suitable opportunity to officially debut in this world."

"But since it saves one usage attempt in the early stages, that's a pretty good thing."

At some point, three curved, blade-shaped tomoe appeared around the pupils of Li Mingyuan's eyes.

He then watched the fishmen's attack, withdrew the transformation of his eyes, and his eyes quickly returned to their normal three-tomoe Sharingan.

that's it.

Without anyone noticing, a deadly hidden attack was launched.
