Business

Arlong's gang notices Nami doesn't look too happy with Usopp being captured. She gets irritated that they had to butt in right before her business with Arlong was done. Usopp asks her how she can betray Luffy who still thinks of her as a member of his crew. Nami tells him that the guys were ruining the eight years of business she had been doing with Arlong, and she stabs Usopp. The mermen laugh as she kicks him into the ocean. One merman tells Nami that the only reason she deals with them is so she can buy her hometown to find the treasure hidden in it, but Arlong tells her that he will keep the promise and hand her the town when she has the money. Meanwhile, Luffy and Sanji (with Yosaku) arrive on the island.

To Live

Bellemere tells the townsfolk that she will raise Nojiko and Nami. The two kids grew up healthy and strong (albeit a little troublesome). The thoughts of all these happy years cross Nojiko and Nami's minds as they watch Arlong's gun emit smoke - and Bellemere's lifeless body falls to the ground. One of the other mermen finds Nami's stack of maps, and decides to take Nami with him. Gen tries to save Nami, but Nami tells him he didn't need to because she didn't want anyone else to die. Later, just as the townsfolk get ready to fight Arlong's crew to get Nami back, she walks back to town to inform them that she was going to join their crew, that she doesn't want to live justly if it meant death. Gen tells her that she was no longer welcome in the town. Nojiko later finds Nami at Bellemere's grave, where she is told that Nami is going to buy the whole town from Arlong for 100 million Berries because there was no other way to survive.
