I, a Celestial Dragon!

He really went through countless hardships in there!!!

It was not until three years after he was imprisoned, and six years before Gawain's arrival, that Jinbe accepted the invitation of the World Government and the Five Elders and took on the position of Shichibukai.

During this process, Jinbe proposed a condition to the World Government, which was to release all the fishmen and mermaids imprisoned in Impel Down.

With this, Aaron left the life in Impel Down and returned to his hometown.

But... he couldn't find happiness in his hometown!

He felt ashamed of Jinbei's visit. He always felt that the guy's skin and eyes were full of words: It was because I saved you that you, a bastard, were lucky enough to leave Impel Down...

At the same time, the expectations of his fellow tribesmen almost crushed him completely!

How did his fellow tribesmen view him during the years he was in prison?

The residents of Fishman Street, led by radical young people like Hodi Jones, and the elders of the Sun Pirates who were at odds with Jinbei, all regarded Arlong as an idol and a beacon!!!

All the fish people felt that after the fat and big-eared guy Jinbei decided to appease and not resist, and joined the Seven Warlords of the Sea to serve as dogs for the World Government.

Among the fishmen, only Arlong, a strong man who was once arrested by the Navy Admiral Kizaru himself, is worthy of their following.

That’s right, when Aaron was released from prison, Borsalino had already become a general, which is one of the reasons why Aaron’s value was raised.

As for the mere 20 million bounty on Aaron in the original plot?

It's ridiculous, isn't it? After Arlong became an executive in the Sun Pirates, his net worth was almost 50 million. The reason why it became so little later was because his prison trip and amnesty wiped out his past bounties.

Later, he made the remaining 20 million from this small place called Donghai...

In short, Aaron, who had been tortured into the city and had lost his fishman shape, and had been beaten by Borsalino and had lost his motivation, was forced by the fishmen of Fishman Street to become the new radical leader.

No one knows how panicked Aaron was when he became the leader!

Who knows the strength of the admiral better than him?

These fishmen in Fishman Street know nothing, but they actually suggested that Aaron lead the fishmen to attack Mary Geoise? ! !

Does he, Aaron, have this ability? ! !

Just like that, just one year after returning to Fishman Island, Aaron quickly found a reason to take away all the radical elements who supported him most at the time.

During this time, Aaron also hired a few brainless but capable fishmen like Xiao Ba.

In short, the rational Arlong directly formed the Arlong Pirates, and then as the captain of the pirate group, he took a ship full of people to flee to the weakest island in the East China Sea!

Not only that, after he came to the East China Sea, he did not directly occupy any islands.

Having lost his warrior spirit, he immediately approached several branch chiefs in Donghai and tried to establish a family rapport between officials and bandits.

Through this method, his evil rule over a series of villages including Cocosia Village was implicitly supported by the World Government.

Don't forget the original intention of the Five Elders. The Five Elders are constantly weakening the strength of countries around the world. They wish there were more pirates like Arlong!

Just imagine, the money that Aaron collected from the civilians did not affect the heavenly gold that the civilians originally needed to pay.

Aaron wanted even more heavenly gold than the civilians were supposed to pay.

This money will be shared with the East China Sea Navy, and those navies will also have to bribe people up and down after getting the money.

In the end, wouldn't the money just go into the pockets of the World Government?

And this is the reason why a bastard like Arlong can survive in the East China Sea where Garp often passes by until Luffy goes to sea.

Because the CP department of the World Government and the nearby Navy branch are all blocking news about Arlong!

Because of this, Cap didn't know about the problems in Kokosia Village.

There are so many small islands similar to the Kokosia Village in the East China Sea that the kind-hearted Ace never passed by this area.

In short, it doesn’t matter if outsiders don’t know, but Aaron himself knows it very well!

Do you think he really likes to bully others in this small place like Donghai?

He is just hiding!

Only in a place like the East China Sea where the pirates are very weak, the navy is not strong, and the civilians are even weaker, is he qualified to lead the radical fishmen to act tyrannically!!!

……

Thinking of this, Aaron was about to collapse. Why?

Why does he still have to face pressure from the Celestial Dragons even though he has become so humble?

Why would the Celestial Dragons, with tens of thousands of islands and dozens of countries in the East China Sea, pass by a small place like Kokosia Village? ! !

The most important thing is, why would Jinbei join the Celestial Dragons and pass by this damn village together!!!

For a moment, Arlong seemed to see his own future. As long as the Celestial Dragons passed by here, Jinbei would easily be able to find out news about him.

Immediately afterwards, I will definitely be chased and beaten by that bastard Jinbei. That guy will not tolerate any grain of sand in his eyes!

He didn't even dare to massacre the people of Kokosia Village, because once the massacre started, even the navy he was on good terms with would not be able to stop it.

By then, even if the Celestial Dragons and Jinbei didn't kill him, his skyrocketing bounty would surely make his death painless.

But he just wants to live a good life with this group of people who believe in him.

Of course, it would be great if we could survive in the East China Sea while leaving a spark for the fishmen to turn humans into slaves.

It would be great if I could do my best to leave some fire for the fishmen that is different from the appeasers like King Neptune and Jinbe, and can burn brightly in the future!

Aaron rubbed his face hard. It was really too difficult for him. It was really too difficult!

But at this moment, it rained heavily.

Aaron suddenly heard a loud explosion!

He also smelled the scent of that guy Jinbei in his long, serrated nose!

Chapter 308 Humble Look

In Bellemere's house when Jinbe's scent reached Arlong's nose.

Nojigao fell to the ground and looked in the direction of Gao Wen with a bitter face.

In her eyes, her sister was held in the arms of that Celestial Dragon with tears on her face. It must be that the Celestial Dragon molested her sister!

It can't be that Nami took the initiative, right?

Who will cry when taking the initiative? How much tea do you need?

If someone else replaced Gao Wen, there was no way that Noqi Gao would fall down. She would usually go straight to the fireplace to get the gun.

But that person is a celestial dragon, and can also release lightning...

So, Nochigo was completely desperate and there was no hope.

After she muttered to herself, she looked at Gao Wen sadly and said bitterly.

"Sir, I know you may not like my look. I look very dark from working on the farm all day.

But...but I can take good care of myself, I can come back young. Compared to me, Nami is only fifteen years old, she is too young.

My lord, please let Nami go first. I can do anything you want her to do.

Please, just don't hurt my sister, I'll do whatever you want to me!"

"Uh……"

Listening to Nojigo's words, Gao Wen curled his lips, thinking that he had scared the girl.

In Gawain's arms, Nami was stunned for a moment, then she rushed into Gawain's arms out of embarrassment.

Nami, a female warrior who claimed that she had traveled the sea since she was ten years old, could not accept the sight of being seen crying by her elder sister.

As a result of her action, Noqigao on the ground cried even harder!

The Celestial Dragons must have threatened Nami...

Seeing that the situation was becoming more and more funny, Yixiao, who saw nothing, suddenly coughed twice.

"Ahem, that little girl, how long are you going to hold on to my master?"

He reminded Nami with amusement, which immediately made Nami jump out of Gawain's arms.

Falling to the ground, Nami panted and fixed her sideburns, then rushed to her sister's side.

"Sister Nokigo!!!"

First, she roared in disappointment, then Nami pulled Nokigo up and put her lips close to Nokigo's ear and whispered.

"Don't think too much, big sister, I... Master Tianlong promised me that he would help us solve this big problem of the evil dragon!

That’s why I…

Let’s not talk about this anymore. Anyway, you see, Uncle Jian over there doesn’t think there’s anything wrong, right!!!”

Having said that, Nami, who never wanted to admit that she had cried, looked at Ajian fiercely.

Facing Nami's fierce look, Ajian rolled his eyes and then knelt down respectfully in front of Gawain.

“That’s right, Lord Celestial Dragon has really agreed to take care of the evil dragon!

I know that the evil dragon is a fishman who is much stronger than humans. Even the navy of the East China Sea can't do anything to him. Even if you are a celestial dragon, you will suffer great losses in dealing with the evil dragon.

So, great Celestial Dragon, as the village police officer of Kokosia Village, I promise you that we will give you all our money!

It’s just that…we are relatively poor, and I think…if our village were to sell everything it had, we could at most come up with around 50 million.

I don’t know if this is enough…”

"Don't worry, Uncle Jian, I still have more than 48 million in savings, buried in the orange orchard behind!"

At the side, Nami suddenly interrupted Ajian's words. She covered her heart with her hands and said to Gao Wen with an expression as if she was about to die.

“In this way, we can raise 100 million yuan together. Even if you are not a match for Aaron, we can use this 100 million yuan to buy back my village under your auspices!

Anyway, I...my money...was saved for the village anyway!

Either you take it, or I take it and give it to the dragon, you see..."

pat!

Before Nami could finish her words, Gawain patted her head gently.

"It's really strange."

Gawain laughed.

"Nami actually has a time when she gives money, haha."

Having said this, Gawain looked out the window, where the orange trees were dimly visible.

This action made Nami gasp. She always felt that Gawain was after her money!

So Nami said with a pout while feeling heartbroken.

“Why can’t I give money? Although I like money, I’m not a miser!

Besides, isn’t money meant to be spent? As long as it’s spent meaningfully, there’s no problem!

Anyway, Lord Gawain, please stop teasing me!

You can even give me a golden orange tree so easily. You don't care about this little money. I give it to you just to show my appreciation.

So, sir, can you really get rid of Aaron?"

"I came here for this!"

In response to Nami's question, Gawain chuckled and nodded. He then rubbed Nami's hair and smiled.

“Cocosia Village is a good place. Before Aaron arrived, it was also a well-known orange sales center among the many islands near Rogue Town.

Any sailor who sails on the sea would understand the importance of oranges.

In the past, relying on oranges, Kokosia Village was a well-known well-off village.

This is probably why Aaron settled down here.

You know, my men found out through investigation that many of you used oranges as exchange items in order to pay Aaron.

Aaron made a lot of money just by selling those oranges.

Anyway, haha, why am I talking to you about this?
