Chapter 36
"Ahhhh!!!"
The villagers outside the courtyard wall saw this scene and held their heads in disbelief and shouted excitedly.
"Aaron!!! Aaron is dead!!!"
"Ahhhhh!!! We, we are finally freed!!"
"Hahahaha, it’s been eight years! Do you know how I spent these eight years?!"
"I didn't expect that it wasn't the navy that helped us drive away Arlong, but the pirates who helped us get rid of Arlong! It's really too ironic!"
"Woohoo, this damn fishman! Mom and Dad, Aaron has finally been defeated!"
"Long live Mr. Luffy!!!"
"Long live Mr. Luffy!!!"
"Long live Mr. Luffy!!!"
After hearing Luffy's voice, all the villagers excitedly began to roar as if to vent their anger. Then someone shouted"Long live Mr. Luffy". The villagers' shouts gradually became uniform, and the sound shook the sky!
Nami looked at the man who was smiling at her. She slowly stood up, took one step and two steps, and then ran directly. When she was still a few meters away from Luffy, she flew towards him.
"Hey! You're worried."
Luffy immediately stepped forward and hugged Nami's waist and held her in his arms.
"Ha ha ha ha————
Luffy, you're awesome!
I love you so much!"
Nami looked at the man in front of her, and the more she looked at him, the more she loved him. Then she raised her left foot, slightly hooked her right calf, held Luffy's cheek with both hands and kissed him.
Sanji, who was originally ready to rush up to celebrate, stood aside with a pout, but his eyes were full of smiles.
Jin listened to the cheers of all the villagers and smiled immediately.
He felt that he was not following the wrong person!
Just as the villagers were celebrating wildly, Usopp dragged Chu back to the road. Looking at the excited villagers in the distance, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
Then, after understanding what happened, he jumped up excitedly and shouted:
"As expected of you, Luffy!"
Soon, his shouting startled some of the older villagers who couldn't squeeze in to celebrate.
Those villagers turned around and saw Usopp, who was in a mess, looking at the fishman in his hand, and they cheered for him.
"Brother, you actually killed a leader of the Arlong Pirates! ?
Great!!
Thank you so much!!!
Thank you, you guys, thank you so much——"
The elderly villagers started to cry as they talked, and then they knelt down in front of Usopp.
Usopp's smile froze, and he dropped the gun in his hand and rushed over to support the elderly people, laughing:
"Grandpa and grandma, I can't stand your kneeling!
If our captain knew, he would definitely beat me to death......."
Crash————
But before Usopp could finish his words, he saw the four or five hundred villagers in front of him who were shouting"Long live Mr. Luffy" actually knelt down in unison!
""Hey! Luffy."
Luffy, who was kissing Nami in the distance, suddenly heard Sanji's voice.
Luffy opened his eyes and saw the scene.
He couldn't help but restrain his smile, patted the back of Nami's head, then let go of Nami and jumped to the top of the stone pavilion under the tower.
Under the watchful eyes of Sanji, Nami, Akin and Usopp, as well as Zoro who had just walked here and was worried, as well as four or five hundred villagers, and even Colonel Mouse, who was covered in scars and hiding in the dark in the woods to take pictures, and a group of navy.
Luffy took a deep breath, opened his arms and shouted:
"Don't kneel!!!
Kneel before the heaven, kneel before the earth, kneel before your parents. Apart from them, no one in this world is worthy of your kneeling!
In this world, everyone is equal!
I defeated Aaron and the others not to make you kneel before me.
I just fulfilled my promise to my companions, that's all.
Please stand up, everyone.
I am Monk·D·Luffy, I don't need anyone to kneel down to make me stand out! I am who I am!
————
After hearing Luffy's words, the villagers who were kneeling to express their gratitude slowly stood up one by one, but the gratitude in their eyes did not decrease but increased, and there was even a hint of respect in them!
Even Colonel Mouse and the navy who took the sneak shots were slightly stunned after hearing these words.
Zoro smiled slightly while holding his sword.
You are worthy of it, Luffy.
Sanji and Kin looked at each other, and saw the smile in each other's eyes, as well as the respect!
This is the captain they want to follow!
After seeing the villagers standing up one after another, Luffy smiled, raised his arms and shouted:
"That's right!
Now that Arlong has fallen, let's have a party to celebrate!
Let's have a party, brothers!!!"
Oh oh oh!!!
After hearing Luffy's words, Sanji and the others shouted excitedly, and the villagers were also infected by Luffy's smile.
The villagers who were still crying showed happy smiles, and then cheered in unison:
"Let’s have a party!!!"
This banquet was held at Arlong's base.
In Luffy's words, when Arlong was alive, they couldn't live in such a good place. If he couldn't live there after he died, wouldn't Arlong have died in vain?
Why can he live there, but we can't?
Luffy didn't have the idea of demolishing this building.
Such a good place, after repairing it, can be used as a landscape or a hotel in the future, and become one of the sources of income for Kokoa West Village.
Nami originally had some strong wishes, but after hearing Luffy's suggestion, she changed her mind instantly and asked that the room on the top floor could only be hers!
Luffy and Nami had an in-depth exchange of more than two hours in the room on the top floor where she stayed when she was a child, and he came to the balcony alone.
Looking at the lively villagers below, Sanji who was drunk and dreaming with several young ladies in his arms, and Usopp who was bragging on several stacked tables, Luffy couldn't help but smile.
Then, he took the Den Den Mushi that was eating leaves from Nami's work desk and put it on the balcony.
After watching for a long time, Luffy dialed the special line.
Blu Blu Blu————
Click!
The Den Den Mushi rang only three times before being answered immediately.
Then neither party spoke. Luffy was surprised for a moment, then he guessed who was on the other end of the line.
After taking a deep breath, Luffy smiled and said:
"Grandpa, would you like to meet me?"
"I've been waiting for your call, you little brat! You didn't tell me you were in Keke Yaxi Village, did you?"
"What!? How did you know?"
"You! You little bastard! Come on, I'm just offshore, I'll be there soon, come out and talk to you later!"
""Okay!"
At the same time, in the Navy branch not far from Kokoyasi Village,
Colonel Mouse was talking anxiously and angrily to the other end of the phone:
"You saw it!
I sent all the six people's photos!
Now please listen to me in detail about the most vicious pirate group in the East China Sea in recent years that is about to appear!"
