The Explorer of the Universe

A Marine ship approached the island and some residents who occupied the island saw the arrival of the Marine ship.

"Hey look, there's a Marine ship coming."

"But it's not the Marine ship we see so often."

"Is that a Marine ship that's not from a base near here?"

As residents chatted about the presence of the Marine ship, a small child ran up to them.

"Sister!" Call the little boy.

"Ohh~ aren't you a little boy from Gosa village?"

"Did you see the Marine ship?" Ask the little boy when he arrives.

"What ship is that?"

The little boy nodded his head. "Yes, the ship came after getting an order from the government to pick us up"

"Pick us up? Meanin?"

The little boy then explained that the surviving Gosa villagers had managed to give news about the state of the island they were on.

Meanwhile, on the Marine ship, an officer who was the commander of the ship was staring at Arlong Park.

"So that, Arlong Park?" Ask the officer. "The world has become chaotic until a pirate sets up his base on the island and wreaks havoc on the innocent civilians of the island."

"You're right, commodore Pudding." Said subordinate.

"Well, we have the task of evacuating the villagers of Gosa whose village has been destroyed by those jerk pirates!" Pudding Command.

Despite getting such an order, Pudding felt it was a mistake.

"But in my opinion ... What is our sense of justice?" Ask Pudding.

"Just shut up to see that there's a pirate base in sight, it won't!" Answer the subordinates.

"Yes, good, we as Marines, sea knights, protectors of the peace of the sea can not let any pirate damage the peace and tranquility, so what should we do?" Ask Pudding.

"Destroy all pirates who destroy the peace of the sea." Shouted his subordinates.

"Good, get the cannons ready and fire a warning shot at the damn sea steel." Pudding Command.

His subordinates immediately carried out the order quickly.

"The cannon is ready, commodore Pudding!"

"Foot!" Pudding Command.

The sound of a cannon blast rang out very loudly and a flying cannonball shot into the sky and began to fall right where Arlong was.

Arlong casually received the cannonball with his mouth and smashed it with the teeth he had.

"What about the negotiations?"

"Forget it, drown them!" Arlong's Order.

His subordinates immediately moved quickly towards the Marine ship.

In just a very fast time the Marine ship commanded by Pudding sank in the ocean.

The residents who saw it just stared with disappointment, especially the children who had been happy to return to be sad.

She let out her tears as she could not accept what she saw.

"When they come to help us!"

"This is reality ... No one can escape Arlong's power."

Meanwhile at Luffy's and the others' place, Luffy could not receive any news of Usopp's death being killed by Nami.

"Was that really what you said, Nami killed Usopp?" Ask Luffy.

"Yes! She really is a witch! He always obeyed Arlong's orders so that he could have all the treasures buried in Cocoyashi village! He calmly kills people! The cold-blooded girl who broke her heart! He has deceived us..." Johnny Reveal.

"You!" Luffy said as he held Johnny's collar and dropped his straw hat. "Try saying bad things again about Nami! I'm gonna fucking kick you!"

"Stop, Luffy. It has nothing to do with Johnny." Said Zoro who broke up.

"It's up to you not to believe me! But, I saw it with these two eyes! The girl killed Usopp's brother!" Firm Johnny.

"Stop that shit! Nami can't kill Usopp! We are friends and members of my pirates!" Shouted Luffy.

"But, I-" said Johnny who was cut off by someone's presence.

"Who do you mean by friend, Luffy?" Nami asked who had suddenly appeared and stood in front of all of them.

"Mommy!" Call Luffy while removing Johnny's collar.

"What are you doing here?" Asked Nami with a sharp look.

"Speak what are you? We are friends, I want to pick you up!" Said Luffy and took his straw hat which had fallen off.

"Just disturb!" Said Nami in a flat tone.

"Nami?" Luffy.

"Friends? Don't make me laugh! Isn't this just a useless cooperation group? You're just a pathetic group that's been helping me." Obviously Nami.

"Bad! You killed him!" Johnny said angrily.

"Johnny! Quiet down!" Tanaka told Johnny. "Captain is talking!"

Johnny was silent.

Tanaka walked up to Nami and whispered in her ear. "That's enough of your cipher, I know that you're doing this because you're thinking of us, Nami."

The woman looked at Tanaka in confusion.

"Hey, don't get close to Nami!" Shouted Sanji who was angry with jealousy.

Tanaka ignored her and continued to whisper to Nami.

"Regarding you killing Usopp, it's just a lie, proof of the back of your wounded hand that saved Usopp." Tanaka Whispe.

Nami is shocked again and is confused about how Tanaka could know he was doing.

"There has been enough of your suffering that you have been living with Arlong for a long time. We'll set you free, just wait, Luffy will beat him and we can sail together again." Tanaka.

Tanaka then turned his face back and smiled gently at Nami. I could see a surprised expression on Nami's face but it was only for a moment.

Nami immediately normalized her expression. "Let me tell you. Right now, Arlong intends to kill Roronoa Zoro and his group."

"Although your powers are all like monsters, you are no match for a real monster. If you're still on this island, you'll be killed. Yeah, but it's none of my business." Nami said casually.

Tanaka only let out a long sigh because of Nami's attitude. "Why isn't he honest about asking us for help? Is it so blind of his eyes to live in the cruelty of Arlong that we underestimate the power we have?"

Nami looked at Tanaka for a moment because she still thought about what the man said before but then she turned her eyes to look at Luffy.

"His cold nature is also very charming! Hello, Nami-san. It´s me! Still reminding?! Let's sail together!" Say Sanji with lope-lope eyes.

"Shut up for a second! Our situation is getting more complicated!" Zoro.

"What did you say?! Love is like a storm!" Said Sanji but ignored by Zoro.

"Hey, if anyone's talking, listen up!"

"Where's Usopp?" Ask Zoro.

"On the bottom of the ocean." Answer Nami.

"Nonsense, stop your bullshit!" Zoro said he would attack Nami but Sanji stopped him.

"Does the swordsman attack women, Roronoa Zoro?" Ask Sanji.

"What did you say?! You don't even understand the current situation, just step aside!" Pinta Zoro firmly.

"Well! Oh I know, you just want to vent your frustration because of the previous fight, yes, I would also be upset if I lost the fight." Said Sanji who provoked Zoro.

"Huh?! Hey, watch your mouth!" Zoro said furiously.

Tanaka who could not bear to see the quarrel of Zoro and Sanji which only added to the complicated problems that were happening at this moment immediately used his force by pushing them in the opposite direction.

They both fell to the ground.

"Don't interfere, you weird guy!" Shouted Sanji furiously.

"What are you doing, Tanaka!" Zoro was also angry.

"Stop! It's not time to fight! Don't add to the problem that hasn't been solved at this time." Tanaka said as he stared intently at the two of them.

"He still attaches great importance to our safety, but his own life could have been threatened if Arlong saw it with us." Thought Tanaka who sighed.

"Still not understand yet? The only reason for me to join you guys is money! Now you have no more money, so there's no benefit for me!" Nami.

"I'll return your ships. Look for another navigator, then head to the Grand Line! Find One Piece or whatever! Get the fuck out of here! You guys ruined the view! Good bye." Said Nami who turned around and bit her lips because she felt very sad to have said that.

"His..." Luffy said then suddenly he fell down.

"Anything Luffy?!" Johnny panicked.

Nami turned around again because she heard a panicked scream from Johnny. He saw Luffy calmly lying on the ground.

"I'm going to sleep." Luffy said casually.

Tanaka who heard that just smiled. He then looked for a comfortable place to sit while resuscitating his back on a coconut tree.

"Sleep?!" Johnny Said.

"A time like this?! In the middle of the road!" Yosaku.

"I don't want to leave this island, nor do I care about what happens on this island. I'm a little sleepy too. I'm going to sleep." Ngeles Luffy's.

Yosaku dropped his jaw on hearing that. Then Luffy fell asleep.

"Do it. Just do as you please! Just die you!" Nami said then ran away crying sadly but did not shed tears.

"Abang Zoro! What are you really thinking?!" Johnny asked who felt strange about the senior.

"Hiswa we're being targeted by Arlong! Then, why don't we just run away?!" Ask Yosaku.

"Because you already know what kind of girl Nami is, there is no other reason to stay on this island, right?!" Ask Johnny.

"The reason for staying on this island? There's." Zoro then looked at Luffy. "Because he's still here."

"Don't you think Zoro's brother still intends to bring Nami's brother back?" Ask Yosaku.

"I have nothing to do with him. My business with him, since he is my captain, leaving or not from this island is his decision, I have to wait." Zoro.

"Is that so?! All righty! Our meeting was a while, but our role as a guide is quite up here!" Johnny Said.

"I agree! I don't want to die in vain here!" Yosaku.

"Yes, take good care of yourself!" Zoro said calmly.

"All right, see you later." Johnny Said.

Then Johnny and Yosaku left.

"Hey." Call Sanji who makes Zoro look at him. "Why was Nami crying?"

"Women are crying?" Ask Zoro.

"He was crying." Sanji.

"Could it be a cry of regret for killing Usopp?" Ask Zoro.

"Where possible, you're the one who's right! Did Nami really kill that long nose?" Ask Sanji.

"No, he didn't kill Usopp, I believe in Nami, he couldn't have killed Usopp." Tanaka's rebuttal made the two of them turn to him.

"Nami is also not being honest with her own feelings. Nami wants to be with us, but there's something holding her back on this island, just like you're Sanji but with a different context." Tanaka.

"Something? What'sthat?" Ask Zoro.

Tanaka just smiled mysteriously while staring at Zoro, not intending to answer.

He then saw Usopp running towards where we were.

"Thank God! You guys are still as long! Don't go to Arlon-"

Zoro and Sanji fought and attacked each other but the attack hit Usopp's right cheek and left cheek which appeared suddenly in the midst of the conflict between the two of them

"He's alive!" Sanji.

"No, it looks like it just died." Zoro.

"Uhh~it must have been very painful, but with that, his body was so well trained that despite getting severe injuries he would still be fine." Think Tanaka.

Luffy woke up from his sleep hearing Usopp's voice. At that very instant, he saw a battered Usopp on his face.

"Usopp! Did Nami do it?!" Ask the panicked Luffy.

"I'm sorry, it's me and him." Sanji.

"Just you!" Zoro.

"Lu...Luffy! The tanaka! You guys are here yet?!" Ask Usopp.

"Yes, just now." Luffy.

Tanaka just nodded his head.

"Ah, me too! Greetings!" Sanji.

"Some day I'll kill you!" Usopp was angry.

"What's wrong? You're better, right?" Ask Sanji

"Shut up!" Usopp.

"Oh yeah, said you were killed by Nami?" Ask Zoro.

"Damn! Johnny's insolent, I thought this was bullshit!" Luffy said furiously.

"What's really going on, Usopp?" Tanaka pretended not to know.

Usopp then told me the truth that happened back then.

"That's how Nami pretended to kill me so I could escape! I think there's a special reason why he joined the Fish-Man Pirates group." Usopp.

"Of course." Sanji.

"Then, how? Directly storming Arlong Park?" Ask Zoro.

"Tu-wait first! We have to make a plan first!" Usopp.

"Whatever is free." Said a girl who made the straw hat pirates look at her.

"Nojiko!" Usopp.

"Nami's sister." Think Tanaka

"No matter what you do, Arlong's power will not end." Nojiko.

"Who?" Ask Luffy.

"Nami's sister." Answer Usopp.

"Sister Nami?! She deserves to be so beautiful!" Say Sanji with lope-lope eyes.

"Why free?" Ask Zoro.

"Please, don't interfere with the affairs of this island. Leave Nami. I'll tell you the truth." Nojiko Pinta.

"What exactly?" Ask Sanji.

"About the reason Nami joined Arlong's group?" Ask Usopp.

"Yes, after hearing it, you must leave this island." Nojiko.

"Well, let's hear the story first..." Usopp.

"I don't want to." Reject Luffy.

"Again, Nami's our friend and she's getting into trouble, we have to help her." Tanaka

"He-Hey you two..." Usopp.

"I don't care about the past." Said Luffy who immediately left the place.

"Where are you going, Luffy?" Ask Sanji.

"Street around." Answer Luffy

"Walk you say?! You don't want to hear the story?!" Ask Usopp.

"No way." Luffy.

Tanaka soon moves on to follow Luffy.

"Let me be with him, I'll watch him not to take any careless actions." Said Tanaka who ran after Luffy.
