Our ship arrived at an island. There was no shouting, laughter or someone around.
The island is silent. Silent. As if, this place was not an island but rather, an isolated place.
Down, over the street, I looked back. Nami ran, got out of the boat, and went inside the island leaving me.
When I wanted to call him, I stopped when someone called me.
Looking sideways and slightly down, I saw a mother, who was holding a baby in her thin arms. Her tattered clothes explained the situation.
"Master. Can you exchange this fruit for a little salt?"
The mother's dry lips moved, her eyes showing a dozen of cassians, and looked at me with hope. On his arm was an orange.
I nodded and took it.
Slipping another hand behind my back, I took the meat and milk I bought, and handed it to the mother.
Mother's eyes looked bright. Carefully, he stretched out his hand and took it.
The mother cried, bowed a few times towards me. Then put the milk in the mouth of his crying son.
I just smiled and waved before he went towards his house.
then, I went around this village. It's pretty awful. The condition of every house, not good enough to live in.
And, whenever I cross paths with someone, they always stay away and avoid me. It was as if I was a scary and dangerous person.
Not until I see a garden that only plants one type of fruit. Citrus fruits, which are well preserved and well maintained.
Walking, I approached the garden, which turned out to be someone's garden. Stopping in front of the house, I saw the woman who was sunbathing on the chair.
The woman had a large asset, which was covered in her shirt. Some of the pony is tucked into a red map, and others are left to unravel.
Stretching out my hand, I plucked the closest one. Choose the big and mature.
The woman only watched me, and as I picked up the orange, she remained silent.
I walked towards him and stood beside him. The trunk of the tree appears, extends, and stops when it forms a relaxed currant.
Releasing myself, I relaxed on the chair, as I peeled off the orange peel and ate it.
"The sweet orange here." I said, biting the orange.
"oh, uh... Thanks." He turned his head towards me with his eyebrows raised, still on guard.
"Don't want to plant another? and..." I raised my hand. There are no guns in either. "I don't have any problems here.
"e-eh, yes." she relaxed her vigilance and relaxed back, then shook her head and said. "No. I didn't plant another."
"Why? Wouldn't it be boring to have one of the same kind in every village."
He sighed. "As you can see, no merchant has come here"
The tax here is very high considering the circumstances. And whenever the pedangan want to trade here, Arlong pulls the display that is too high for the traders.
Traders who feel the loss, they stop depositing food that causes this village to starve.
Worse still, Arlong, as the ruler did nothing. So that the residents, every day have the same case of death, namely starving to death.
"What are you doing here?"
I turned to him, then to the expanse of the sky and said. "You won't believe it. I left someone in this village."
He chuckled. "that's very bad." Seeing me as harmless, she reached out her hand. "this is Nokif."
Raising my shoulders, I reached out, shook my hands, and said. "Jack." I stopped, winked at him. "And I need a beautiful woman to heal my heart."
He widened his eyes, touching both of his cheeks as if blushing. "Perhaps, I'll stay here some time, accompany someone who looks sad."
I pulled him closer. "And who is this pathetic man?"
"Who do you think?" Nojika smiled thinly. She walked away from me. "i'm not a slut"
Raising my hand, I let go and let go. "that kind of woman I really want to get."
"oh, ho. I'm looking forward to it" he said. "Btw, who did you mention that to?" He was eagerly waiting for my answer.
I pinched my face and thought. "Nami. if it's not wrong." I said, as I got an angry look from her.
I frowned. Stretching out my hand, I pulled her as she fell on top of me, and hugged her between her waist.
Nojiko looked at me furiously. He tried to push himself away from me, Unfortunately, his strength is nothing compared to mine.
A sharp look was directed towards me. I just laughed looking at him, and before I let go, someone shouted in front of us.
"you." he pointed at me" what did you do to him!" then he turned his head around Nojiko's collar. "And Nojiko, why did you let yourself be hugged by a stranger?"
Nami crossed her arms.
Hearing Nami's voice, Nojiko was agitated.
He pushes himself and approaches Nami, giving her an explanation. "Not as Nami saw." Nojiko looked at me. "she hugged me forcefully, and I couldn't do anything to her."
Nami looked at me disappointed. "You. You beast."
"I know, I'm handsome" I nodded, explaining.
"you-" Nami's voice was not heard with a roar on the ground.
"Well, was this little guy the one who made our little thief betray us?" homonoid fish talking mock.
"humans are lowly, do not know which is best." one of his minions, who also adds fish homonoids.
The leader of the Arlong-fish homonoid, looked at me with a grin. He wanted the human to feel fear with his presence.
On the chair, I raised my hand, stuck my finger in the canticle hole, I scratched it.
And with a slow response, I stood up, walked beside Nami, and whispered to her without emphasizing my words. "Hey Nami's. Since when can fish breathe on water?
The two brothers held back a laugh when they saw my confused face. I tilted my head with their response.
Since there was no desired response, I left them, walked forward, and stopped in front of Arlong.
I lifted my chin so I could look at him. Judging him, I gave him a thumb, then patted his thigh because of its size, and said. "Man, weirdo. You're the first kind of fish man I saw. Interesting attract."
Arlong was upset.His mouth twitched, with veins appearing on his forehead.
He raised his leg, pointed it at me, and kicked it quickly. At first glance his movements blurred, he pulled his legs back as the dust kicked in, pushing me backwards.
"Jack!!" Nojiko shouted, closing her mouth, she was shocked.
"If you die, what about our deal?" said Nami. He wants to come to me.
Seeing her, Nojiko pulled Nami's hand, stopped her as Nami turned to her, and she shook her head at him.

Her legs are numb, as if she's kicking something hard, and...sand?
Arlong raised his leg. On the sidelines of his feet there is sand attached. As he looked at the man he was kicking, a lump of sand blocked him.
The sand slowly melted to the ground and disappeared. Stretching out my hands, I grabbed the sword and grasped its hilt from the empty air.
Putting his blunt side over his shoulders, the other hand scraping at his ears, I mocked him. "Has the fish man still not studied the human race?"
"Low-man. Shoot her!" Arlong shouted ordering his men.
His men, about 9 people-creatures, took up their weapons, aimed at me and shot him.
A barrage of bullets flew towards me.
I'm giving chakra to the sand. The sand floated up, forming a shield as the bullet stopped in its path and fell down upon hitting it.
They kept firing his gun, which was the same, wasted. Since there was no point in continuing it, I ended it.
I raised my hand up. Flying sand. Moving from below, covering their legs, then their entire body was covered in sand.
Slowly the sand was red as I clasped my hand.The bullets stopped, and I removed my sand protection.
I walked while showing off my sword.
Arlong was under pressure. Unknowingly he stepped back, he fell down and sat on the ground as gravel blocked his leg.
