The marines mockingly dig out the 93 million Belli from Nami’s house, ridiculing her belief that she could buy her village with 100 million Belli. Realizing that her secret deal has been exposed to the whole village, Nami rushes back from Arlong Park to the village. She fears that the villagers, aware of her plan, will prepare to fight the Arlong Pirates, leading to their inevitable death. Despite her efforts to stop them, the determined villagers march towards Arlong Park, with the intention of either killing or getting killed in the process.
Overwhelmed by helplessness, Nami falls to her knees, and in desperation, she starts stabbing her left shoulder, where the Arlong Pirates’ logo is located, with a knife. However, Luffy intervenes and holds her hand, reassuring her that he will help her.
In the meantime, Zoro, Usopp, and Sanji catch up to Luffy, and together, they all head towards Arlong Park, ready for a fight. As the villagers reach the main gate, they encounter Yosaku and Johnny, who are sitting outside, bloodied and battered. Yosaku and Johnny refuse to let the villagers pass, as they believe they are too weak to face the fishmen.
Yosaku and Johnny reveal that a group of powerful individuals will soon appear to fight the Arlong Pirates, and to everyone’s surprise, Luffy and the others make their heroic entrance by breaking down the main gate, determined to confront Arlong.
