Chapter 71: The Creator White = Dialogue (The words in parenthesis refers to the character's thought.) Gray = Character's Flashback Green = Action Red = Translation Note --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Usop: This is Nami's house? Noyiko: Yes. I and Nami are orphans. The owner of this house adopted us, but our mother has already died. We were lived happily in this Kokoyashi village. Usop: This village? Then why did Nami become Arlong's crew? She betrayed her village? Noyiko: Somthing liked that. People called her a witch. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Noyiko: So, what do you have any business with "the witch", Captain Usop? Usop: Never mind about that. If what you've said is true, it means that we've been tricked all along. Nami wanted our treasure since the beginning. Usop: That makes me so angry! Usop: She tried to protect my village. And when she was with us, she looked so happy. But all she's done is just a trick! Noyiko: Happy? She's happy? Usop: I am so mad at her now. She is a very cold-blooded person. I don't care about her anymore. Noyiko: Don't care about her? Is that mean that you won't fight Arlong, right? --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Usop: Yes. After I get the ship back, I will get out of this village as soon as I can. Noyiko: That's very good idea because if you messed with those mermaids, you will not only been hurt, but others will be in trouble, too. Noyiko: Talking about the ship. Is that your ship? Usop: Ah! Going Meri! Why is it over there? Usop: Oh! I understand the geography around here now. Kokoyashi Village is on the west side of this house, right? I met the mermaids there. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Usop: ....! Noyiko: What's wrong? Usop: One of my friend is in trouble. I almost forgot that he was captured by the mermaids. He's also in the serious injury. I wish that he's not messed with those mermaids and get kill. Zoro: I told you that I am looking for a woman! You asshole mermaid! --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Arlong: Ho! A puny human dare to talk to me liked this. I will forgive you this time, but if you say that again, I will kill you. Mermaid liked us is a human who has a special ability to breath under the water. And this special skill makes us better than normal human being. Arlong: Our greater strenght is the best sign. Remember this: Mermaid is the god and the creator! When human is dare to agains the mermaid, he dares to against God. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Nami: I am so sick and tied of your speech, Arlong! Zoro: !!? Wha..? Arlong: Don't get upset. Of course, you are an exception! Because you are the pround navigator of Arlong! You'd better write us the good map! Nami: My ability is better than all of you. Don't worry! Zoro: Navigator? Nami! Why are you befriended with them? --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Arlong: Oh! You know him? Nami: Don't be stupid! He's just one of my prey! This time, I got a lot of treasure from him. Zoro: ...! Nami: I knew that you've followed me, but I've never thought that you will be able to arrive here. Zoro: So, this is the REAL you! Nami: Yes. Surprise? I am one of Arlong's crew. I was a pirate at the first place. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Arlong: [laughing] Your prey? Let me tell you something. This woman can do anything for money even forgetting about the death of her mother. She is a cold-blooded witch. Nami: ...! Arlong: She's tricked others and stole their treasures with us as her back up. Zoro: Oh! Is that so? Actually, I've never trusted her anyway. Even though she is a real evil, I won't feel a thing. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Zoro: I knew that you are not as good person as anyone thought. I knew it all along. [laughing] Nami: That's good! So, you've learned that you've been tricked by me. Then, there is nothing left between us now. You'd better get out of here because you start to piss me off! Zoro jumps into the sea. Nami: Ah! Mermaids: What is he doing? --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mermaid: What happened? Why does he jump into the sea? Mermaid: Is this some kind of joke? Mermaid: Well! It's not funny at all. Mermaid: Maybe he escapes! Mermaid: That's impossible. His legs and his arms are tied up. He can't even swim. Mermaid: Suicide maybe? Nami: ...!? Arlong: Just let him go. Nami: Damn it! Nami jumps and rescues Zoro. Mermaids: Nami? --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Arlong: ? Mermaids: Ah! She's coming up! Hey! What is that, Nami? Zoro: [cough] [cough] [cough] Nami: What do you think you are doing? Zoro: How about you? What do think you are doing? Zoro: So, you are not brave enough? You can't let a person die in front of you. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Nami: ! Zoro: Next time, you'd better hurry up, idiot! I almost drown! Nami: Stop insulting me!! Zoro: Ugh!! Nami: If you get involve with me next time, I will kill you. Zoro: Oh! Really? Nami: You have a lot of bandage wrap around you. Zoro: I just can't find my shirt. That's all. Nami: ....! Zoro: Ugh!! --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Zoro: ...!! Arlong: What are we going to do with him, Nami? Nami: Just leave him there. I will take care of him later. Mermaid: Arlong-san! Arlong-san! Arlong: What is it? Mermaid: The one with the long nose has escaped. Zoro: (Usop? Damn it! They found him!) Nami: ....! Arlong: Maybe he's escaped to Kokoyashi Village. I have some business that I have to take care of in that village, too. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Kokoyashi Village Villager: Hey! Arlong is coming here. Villager: Why is he coming here? Villager: We just paid for him a few days ago. Genzo: Maybe because of my weapon. Everyone get in the house first. Villager: Gen-san. Villager: Here he come. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Arlong: Were you the one with the sword 3 days ago? Genzo, the villager of Kokoyashi village. Genzo: Yes. Can I just keep it as my collection? Because I love the weapon. Arlong: That's too bad. Because the purpose of the weapon is only to create the chaos and destroy. And that can lead to the destruction of this peaceful village. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Usop: Ah! Isn't that Arlong? Usop: They are not humans. Noyiko: They are mermaids. Usop: But Nami is not with them. Noyiko: Maybe she's still at Arlong Park. Arlong: There are 20 villages under my control. If there is someone dare to against the controller, it can disturb the whole system. Arlong: Goza Village is the best example of the people who dare to against me. If they don't pay for us, it means that they try to against us. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Usop: Pay? What is that? Noyiko: The money that we have to pay every month. We buy our life from them. No matter we are kids or adults. Noyiko: If there is only one person who deny to pay, the whole village can be ended up liked Goza Village. Usop: What's a cruel! Just only one person, they destroy the whole city! Noyiko: That's the way of Arlong. Their species can kill a person without feeling anything. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Arlong: Listen up! The only duty that you puny humans must obey is paying us! You don't have to think of anything else. I want a lot of money. Arlong: Your money can help me create "Arlong Empire", the empire that will governed every city in East Blue sea! Nami: Get out of here before Arlong come back! Zoro: huh? ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
