The aftermath of the intense battle leaves Arlong Park in total ruins, leaving the villagers and Luffy’s crew in awe of the outcome. Rising from the debris, Luffy proclaims proudly that Nami is now an official member of his crew, prompting joyous celebrations among the villagers for their hard-won victory.
However, the jubilation is short-lived as Marine Captain Nezumi arrives on the scene. He acknowledges the impressive fight displayed by Luffy and his comrades but shamelessly intends to take credit for defeating Arlong. Zoro, unable to tolerate such arrogance, steps forward and effortlessly dispatches Nezumi and his subordinates, leaving their faces swollen and comically distorted.
Nami confronts Captain Nezumi, filled with rage at his desecration of Bellamere’s orange fields and his threat to harm Nejiko. She strikes him with full force using her baton, driving him to flee while issuing a warning of potential consequences for Luffy and the crew. As the villagers rush to share news of Arlong Park’s downfall, Nami pays a visit to Bellamere’s grave, expressing her relief that the ordeal is finally over.
Zoro, in need of medical attention for his severe injuries, receives treatment from a doctor who advises him to rest for two years to recover fully. However, Zoro insists on continuing to move around, displaying his typical determination. The doctor advises Luffy to have a physician on board his ship to attend to injuries in the future.
Meanwhile, Captain Nezumi reports to the Marine HQ about Luffy and his crew, known as the Straw Hat Pirates. He urges the government to label them as enemies of the state and to issue bounty posters featuring Luffy’s picture across all nations and worlds, effectively putting a price on their heads.
