Zoro, watching Callum have such a wonderful performance, also showed a satisfied smile.
If Callum had fallen at that time, then he would really have had to go down to fight, and he would have laughed at Callum at that time.
Of course, they also knew that Arlong's strength was indeed very powerful, and only Callum alone was able to defeat him in such a short period of time.
The rest of the people noticed that their leader had been defeated at this time, and they were somewhat apprehensive when facing Callum.
They were now also giving their all, and if Callum wanted to solve them at this time, then they would really be too sad.
Callum noticed them and couldn't help but laugh.
"Get out of here, and don't ever appear again. If I find out that you are still doing evil, then don't blame me for being rude to you."
He gave an order directly, and the rest of the people originally thought that Callum was going to solve them at this time, and they had no reason to live anymore.
But Callum decisively let them go now, and they couldn't help but feel that Callum was very handsome.
Of course, they also fled immediately at this time, and all the Fish-men jumped into the sea and surged towards other places.
Nami looked at the situation in front of her, and she still hadn't reacted until now.
They had now completed this battle, and this place had temporarily returned to peace.
The villagers also knew about this matter, but they still hadn't reacted until now, and they couldn't believe it.
Their village had been ruled for so many years, and they had been subjected to all kinds of humiliation all along.
But Callum had now solved Arlong, and this was a joyous event for them. Most of the people were also bursting into tears of joy at this time.
Nami watched them finally return to freedom, and she naturally felt very gratified about this, but she also knew that all of this was due to Callum's efforts.
At this time, she turned around and looked at Callum, who was standing not far away.
She still didn't know why Callum had rushed towards her so desperately at that time and helped her solve all of this.
But when she saw Callum's smile, she suddenly understood what was going on in this. That was why he was so desperate.
Only because she was his partner, he had already said before that as long as any of them encountered something, they could call him to solve it.
It seemed that he had really done this very well.
On the contrary, as for her, she seemed to have never done anything particularly useful, and when she encountered any difficulties, she would choose to run away at the first time.
She now had an idea, that was to stay by their side all the time.
No matter what happened in the future, she would choose to face it with them.
"If it wasn't for you, our village would really be very miserable. I know you will definitely not stay here for too long, so we plan to hold a banquet here."
Why am I so sad when this is a very happy thing?
The village chief came to Callum's side at this time and invited him to participate in their carnival.
After defeating the Arlong Pirates, the entire Cocoyasi Village was also liberated. Under the leadership of the village chief, all the villagers of Cocoyasi Village came to the village square to celebrate.
This was the first time in several years that the entire Cocoyasi Village had such an easy and happy carnival activity.
Of course, this carnival activity was due to Callum and Zoro's efforts. Without the help of the two, Cocoyasi Village would still be immersed in the shadows and living in dire straits.
"Hahaha, cheers!" Zoro picked up the cup filled with fine wine and drank it all in one gulp.
The other villagers, seeing Zoro so heroic, also all drank the fine wine in their cups.
"Hahaha, continue!" Zoro's favorite activity, besides practicing swordsmanship, was drinking fine wine. Now, since it was a carnival activity, then he would drink his fill of fine wine!
And Callum, who was at the same table, was not drinking so much. He seemed to be thinking about something.
"Thank you!" Nami, who was sitting next to Callum, suddenly said to Callum.
"You're welcome! These are all small things!" Callum said indifferently.
"Thank you so much! If it wasn't for you, our entire Cocoyasi Village would have" Nami said, with a few tears already appearing on her face!
She remembered the haze of her village under the rule of the Arlong Pirates. She remembered Bellemere being killed by the Arlong Pirates.
"It won't happen again in the future! I will never allow anyone to bully my companions!" Callum saw Nami's appearance, and he also knew that Nami had remembered sad things, so he reached out and rubbed Nami's hair.
"Yes, it won't happen again in the future!" The Arlong Pirates had been defeated, so Cocoyasi Village had also gained peace! Then, because of excitement, Nami cried even more sadly.
Of course, it wasn't just superficially so sad. The reason why Nami cried was just to cry out all of the grievances of these years.
Callum didn't speak, but the hand rubbing Nami's hair used a little more force, letting Nami's head lean on his body. What Nami needed most at this time was real reliance, and he was willing to be her reliance.
Nojiko saw this in her eyes, and a gratified smile appeared on her face. She knew that Nami had finally released her emotions this time. Being able to meet someone like Callum was also a very lucky thing.
After a while, Nami stopped crying and calmed down, but her head was still leaning on Callum's body. For some reason, Nami had a very strong sense of security at this time.
"Nami!" Suddenly, Callum called out to Nami in a somewhat serious tone!
"What's wrong?" Nami also heard that Callum's tone had changed, so she threw her head away from Callum's body.
"Are you willing to become my partner?" Callum asked seriously.
You can joke and laugh at any time. But, on this matter, you need to be serious. Because, this is related to responsibility and determination, and only with responsibility and determination can you become a true partner.
Although Callum's voice was not very loud, the people in the carnival also stopped the carnival. They no longer spoke, no longer ate or drank. They all quietly looked at Nami, wanting to see what kind of decision Nami would make.
Similarly, Zoro was also looking at the two with a calm face. He was also a little looking forward to what the result would be.
"I" Suddenly being asked by Callum like this, Nami didn't react for a moment. After all, she really hadn't thought about this question. She also didn't expect Callum to actively invite her on board.
"It's okay! I completely respect your wishes!" Callum said to Nami seriously. He actually had a great certainty that Nami would get on his ship. However, he still added a more attractive sentence, "My goal is Laugh Tale! There will be many places to pass through in the middle, the best route for drawing the world map."
"I am willing!" Nami said very definitely after hearing Callum's words. Her dream was to draw the world map. Moreover, it was Callum who helped her defeat the Arlong Pirates and liberate Cocoyasi.
"And the great treasure of Laugh Tale!" When he said this, a sly smile appeared on the corner of Callum's mouth.
"I am willing, I am willing!" When she heard about the great treasure of Laugh Tale, Nami's eyes turned into Berries.
"Hahaha, I announce that Nami will be my navigator on the ship from now on! There are now two people on the ship!" Callum happily picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp.
At the same time, when he said this, he looked at Zoro, who was sitting opposite him holding a big wine glass, "That is, our ship is still missing a swordsman!"
"Zoro, our ship is still missing a swordsman, join us!" Since Nami had already boarded Callum's ship, she naturally also helped Callum to say it together.
To be honest, Zoro was also indispensable for defeating the Arlong Pirates.
"Gudong Gudong!" Zoro picked up the big wine glass in front of him and drank it all in one gulp in the same way, a smile with the corners of his mouth raised, looking at Callum.
Zoro's meaning was very simple, he needed Callum to personally invite himself. After all, Callum was the captain now. If Callum didn't say it clearly, or if it was someone else's invitation, Zoro would not agree.
"Roronoa Zoro, can you become my partner?" Callum picked up a glass of fine wine and stood up, looking at Zoro.
"I, Roronoa Zoro, will be your swordsman from now on!" Zoro said curiously, the three gold earrings on his ears shook, and the fine wine in his hand was poured into his mouth all at once.
Similarly, Callum also drank the fine wine in his hand.
"However, I also have my dreams!" After drinking the fine wine, Zoro emphasized.
"I know, Dracule Mihawk! The world's greatest swordsman, and also the goal I want to defeat!" Callum said unhurriedly.
"I will definitely defeat him and become the world's greatest swordsman! At that time, if you also defeat him" Zoro didn't finish speaking, but the meaning was also very clear!
"Wow, wow!" It was really a happy scene for everyone, and the carnival activity started again, even more fiery than the carnival just now.
Now, there were already two crew members on his ship, the navigator Nami and the swordsman Zoro. The progress in Cocoyasi Village was still very considerable.
"Come, come, let's drink, let's drink!" Without any worries and things to solve, Callum also raised his wine glass and drank heartily. Then, he picked up a large piece of meat and ate it.
Because it was a carnival to celebrate the liberation of the village and to thank the benefactors. Therefore, the villagers took out the best wine, meat, and ingredients that they could take out.
Even though the Arlong Pirates' years of plundering had already brought the entire village to the point of poverty. However, in this carnival activity, all the villagers did not have any stinginess!
The entire carnival activity lasted from the afternoon until the evening.
"Bonfire party, start!" The villagers' enthusiasm did not diminish at all. They lit a bonfire, and the carnival activity during the day had not ended, and the bonfire party at night had begun.
At this time, Zoro had drunk too much, and he was hugging his three swords and fell asleep.
Callum was also drunk and dizzy, moved his Ryūjin Jakka, and then put himself in a comfortable position on the chair, squinted his eyes, and was also preparing to fall asleep.
Callum knew that Nami was going to leave Cocoyasi Village and sail to the sea with him to become a pirate. So the villagers didn't say anything, but they had already shown their reluctance in their actions.
After all, they also knew how much pain Nami had endured all these years when the Arlong Pirates ruled Cocoyasi Village. Now, the more enthusiastic this carnival activity was, the more it showed their reluctance.
Although this carnival activity was to thank Callum and Zoro, it was more likely to be a reluctance for Nami!
The bonfire party continued until the second half of the night before it gradually stopped. The villagers also did not go home, and like Callum and the others, they also lay down on the spot and fell asleep.
"Goodbye!" The next day, after Callum woke up, he called Zoro and Nami to prepare to set sail together!
Callum was walking in the front, and Zoro was following closely behind, but Nami reluctantly turned her head to look at Cocoyasi Village, to look at her home, to look at that orange grove.
"Go with peace of mind, I will take good care of the orange grove!" Nojiko understood Nami's intentions and shouted towards Nami. Bellemere's orange grove had always been Nami's spiritual sustenance.
"Go with peace of mind! We will all help you take good care of the orange grove!" The villagers also shouted towards Nami.
"Hey!" Nami's face was full of reluctance, and the unpromising tears flowed down again. She was about to leave this place where she had lived for decades.
She covered her mouth with her hand, so as not to cry out. The mark of the Arlong Pirates on her arm had already been re-tattooed into the appearance of Cocoyasi and the orange grove yesterday.
