Standing on the ship, Nami watched Ye Fan's departing back, then turned her head to look at the vast sea around her.
"Although you saved me, but…"
"I hope you don't blame me."
She then piloted the large ship and sailed back to her village.
Buggy returned to his main base, raging and cursing loudly: "Damn Ye Fan, he stole all my savings from all these years."
"Don't let me run into you again, if I do, I'll punch you directly."
"Then I'll also steal your treasure and your ship."
...
The Buggy Pirates saw their Captain return, furious and completely broken, still cursing Ye Fan incessantly.
The subordinates guessed it must have been the powerful man from earlier.
It wasn't until they later heard Buggy mention the stolen treasure and ship that they became panic-stricken.
Without treasure, they could earn more, but without a ship, how could so many of them leave this hellhole?
"Oh, isn't this Buggy?"
"I heard you talking about me from afar, are you missing me?"
This sudden voice was very familiar, and it scared Buggy so much that he split apart.
He turned his head and saw that it was none other than Ye Fan, whom he had just been cursing with such vigor?
Large beads of sweat appeared on Buggy's forehead, and he subconsciously cried out: "Ye Fan, why are you still here?"
He retreated repeatedly, wanting to maintain a safe distance from the other party, afraid he would strike and harm him.
He really didn't want to make a move; he had been hiding for so many years, he…
"I'm back to deal with the situation here. Of the three people who robbed me, one is already crippled. The remaining two should step forward themselves and not implicate others."
He spoke relaxing words in the calmest tone.
However, two people in the crowd felt as if they had been condemned to death by the Grim Reaper, and collapsed to the ground, paralyzed with fear.
They then crawled on their knees to Buggy, hugging his thigh, snot and tears streaming down their faces.
"Captain, save us, save us."
"Captain Buggy, save us, we don't want to die, we really don't want to die."
Trembling all over from fear, their mental state was extremely unstable; they looked as if they were going crazy.
This was the only way they could think of to survive; there was no other option.
But Buggy himself was in danger, how could he possibly look after them?
"You two, don't implicate everyone else. Who told you to provoke someone you shouldn't have?"
"Exactly, hurry up and get lost."
"Get out now, you're not welcome here, just go die!"
...
The others around them were afraid of being implicated by the other party, that Ye Fan would kill them all in a fit of rage.
These former cronies, who were as close as brothers, now looked like sworn enemies.
Not only did they not help, but they also added insult to injury.
This is human nature, and it is the choice most people make when faced with mortal danger.
Stimulated by this, the two suddenly stood up, looking at their 'good brothers' around them with disbelief.
"You…"
"You…"
The two looked wildly at the crowd around them, pacing back and forth, pointing fingers, which was the most fatal.
As if by agreement, they clutched their heads, as if something was crawling inside, and countless demonic voices were telling them to die.
"Pfft!"
A large amount of tomato juice was spat out, and then they fell heavily to the ground, twitched twice, and then stopped moving.
"My goodness, they couldn't handle that? They acted so tough normally, and now they're dead."
"Truly useless, no strength at all, died after a few words."
"Sir, they're all dead, so can you let us go?"
...
Ye Fan never would have imagined such a dramatic scene; his opponents died without him even lifting a finger.
And they died in such a way that, apart from the two ice sculptures and Buggy who remained silent, it could be said that all the crew members on the ship were murderers.
Seeing that his opponents were all dead, there was no point for Ye Fan to stay.
"Since they're all dead, let's consider this matter resolved. Buggy, we'll meet again sometime, goodbye."
As soon as his voice fell, Ye Fan instantly vanished from the sight of the Buggy Pirates.
His speed was unexpectedly fast; how could he disappear in the blink of an eye?
Rubbing his eyes, Buggy even suspected he was seeing things.
"Damn it, Ye Fan, I swear we will be irreconcilable."
Seeing Ye Fan disappear, Buggy began his grand pronouncements.
Marine 153rd Branch, Shells Town.
Luffy followed Koby to this small town and met Roronoa Zoro.
After learning about Zoro's character, he wanted to recruit him into his pirate crew.
He successfully defeated Morgan, and with his protagonist's luck, he recruited Zoro onto his ship.
They planned to rest, eat a big meal, and then embark on their voyage with Zoro.
These events were pretty much as Ye Fan had guessed.
Using the Flying Thunder God Technique, Ye Fan appeared directly at the marked spot in the ship's cabin.
He put all the treasures into the system, which was very safe.
And Ye Fan's points reached over 80 million Berries; he was only about 20 million Berries short of being able to draw a prize.
Thanks to the kind Buggy, he had accumulated over 120 million Berries over the years; he truly was a good person.
Ye Fan planned to go and thank him properly again in two years.
Nami stood on the bow of the ship, lost in thought, the sea breeze blowing, her mind a mess.
"Nami, didn't I tell you to wait for me at the port?"
The sudden voice startled Nami.
Then she saw Ye Fan walk out of the ship's cabin.
"How could this be?"
Nami covered her mouth, her face full of disbelief; she had clearly seen him go ashore, and she had only left after he had walked quite a distance.
How did he appear on the ship again?
Seeing the playful smile on his face, Nami wondered if he had known all along that she would try to escape?
"Did you know all along that I would steal the ship and run away?"
He might very well know her identity.
This made Nami feel a bit awkward; she had deceived him, stolen his ship and treasure.
He must have come for revenge, perhaps even to kill her.
So she couldn't help but take a few steps back, looking at Ye Fan with terror, and shouted loudly: "Don't come closer, don't come closer, don't kill me…"
"Don't kill me, boo hoo hoo!"
She had finally managed to collect 100 million Berries, but now she was about to die.
This feeling made Nami, a young girl who had experienced a lot but had no one to rely on, finally burst into tears.
Her sorrowful appearance made one want to hug her and comfort her.
He was the one who was deceived, yet she was acting like the victim; he just asked a question, didn't he?
Why would he kill her? How could Ye Fan bear to?
Alas, such are women!
