Chapter 626 Desperate Situation
Just as Vic turned into lightning and rushed to the Cocosia Village, a terrible incident was happening in the village where fish-man pirates were going door to door demanding protection money, and even the village policeman Ajian was chopped to the ground.
In fact, Arlong was released from the city a month and a half ago. This time, Jinbei became one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea not because of his strength and influence.
It was imposed by the World Government in order to repair the relationship with Fishman Island, and the candidate was recommended by Neptune, but Jinbei still proposed the condition of releasing Arlong. That's his little brother. Everyone else is free outside, only Arlong is operating a sewing machine in Impel Down. Jinbei naturally can't sit idly by and watch his little brother suffer, so he naturally wants to release Arlong when he has the chance.
It's just that this condition was negotiated half a month before the newspaper announced the candidates for the Seven Warlords of the Sea, so Aaron was released as early as a month and a half ago. After returning to Fishman Island to recruit soldiers, Aaron went straight to the weakest sea, the East China Sea. With sea beasts to help him pull the boat, the speed was naturally fast, so Aaron arrived in the East China Sea before Vic.
"Okay! Let's retreat, compatriots."
After collecting the head fees from the Kokosia Village, Aaron called his companions to prepare to return to the base. They had been on the island for several days and had built a temporary base a few days ago, which was the predecessor of Aaron Paradise. After solving their worries, they came out to rob money.
The village of Kokosia, which was closest to the stronghold, became their first target. They needed money to bribe the navy and also needed money to build Aaron Park, so even if the time was advanced by a few years, what was supposed to happen still happened.
Seeing Aaron and his group preparing to leave, Ajian and the villagers breathed a sigh of relief, because Aaron and his group did not discover the Bellmère family who lived alone in the mountains!
The adults have to pay 100,000 Baileys in protection fees every month, and the children have to pay 50,000 Baileys a month. It is obviously impossible for the Bellmère family to do so financially. They don't want Aaron and his gang to discover such a beautiful family. The two lively and quirky little girls have brought them so much joy and touched them!
"Brother A'long! There is smoke rising from the corner of the village."
Just when everyone breathed a sigh of relief, a fishman saw smoke rising from the distance of the village. That was the smoke produced by Bellmère's cooking. Their home was far away from the village, and they had no idea that pirates were attacking the village.
At this time, Bellmère was happily cooking for Nami and Nojiko, and Ajian and the villagers were worried when they heard the fishman's words, and they prayed in their hearts that Aaron would not pay attention to it, never pay attention to it!
"I almost missed it!"
Aaron turned around and looked at the smoke with a fierce grin. Ajian and the others' prayers were in vain, and they were filled with hatred, but they didn't know what to do next. The other party was the fishmen, whom they could not resist. Their strength and size were far beyond theirs.
"Let's go collect the money."
After giving a greeting, Aaron took the lead and walked towards the direction of the smoke. The other fishmen followed him and soon disappeared in the village.
After A-Long and his gang left, the villagers became excited and went home to take various farm tools and daily necessities that could be used as weapons.
They could accept Aaron taking their money, but they refused to agree to take action against that family, so after an ideological struggle, they prepared to resist.
And Ajian took a shortcut and ran to Bellmère's house as fast as he could. He wanted to persuade Bellmère. Bellmère used to be a navy man and would definitely not compromise with pirates!
But with her strength, she is definitely no match for the fishman, and there are two children at home. If she uses force, she will definitely be killed. Ajian has always admired Bellmère and doesn't want anything to happen to her.
When Ajian arrived at Bellmère's hut, he saw Bellmère being stepped on by A-Long, one of his arms was deformed, and there was a damaged flintlock not far away.
Ajian had seen that gun before. It belonged to Bellmère's family. Apparently Bellmère had resisted before, so he was tortured by A Long and his forearm was broken!
Nami and Nojiko were tied up by the two tentacles of an octopus fishman. The two children were looking at Bellmère on the ground and crying loudly, shouting "No". Seeing this scene, Ajian's heart was broken. He didn't know where he got the courage from, but he appeared in front of all the fishmen.
"Bell-mère! Don't die for your silly sense of justice. Sometimes there are meaningless battles, and sometimes there are problems that can be solved with money!"
Ajian walked towards Along while roaring loudly. The dark clouds spreading from the horizon reflected his inner feelings at the moment. It was like a leaking roof and it kept raining all night!
Aaron was not surprised by Ajian's appearance. Instead, he admired Ajian's ability to judge the situation. He also persuaded Bellmère on the ground to pay the money. As long as the money was paid, he would leave immediately.
At this time, Ajian had already come to Bellmère.
"Persuade her well. We want money more than life!"
Aaron also raised his foot. It was great that someone came to persuade him. What he valued was money. Aaron gave up his place. Ajian hurriedly squatted down and hugged Bellmère, who had a crippled arm and was covered in wounds, in his arms, and asked her how much savings she had.
But Bellmère's money was not enough to support her and her two children. As a single mother who made a living by growing oranges and had two children to raise, she could not save much money.
Nami and Nojiko have been exposed. It is impossible for her to just pay her own money to fool Arlong and his gang as in the original work. Moreover, she herself is unwilling to do so. Even for the sake of survival, she cannot deceive her family.
The village was also drained of its money by the heavy workload of Tianshang Gold, and Ajian could not come up with any extra money to help Bellmère. As for asking the villagers for help?
There's no need to think about it. Aaron is not going to collect it this time and stop collecting it. It has to be paid every month. If you don't pay, you will be killed. How can they even ask for it?
Borrowing money is like borrowing someone else's life to extend their lives! In addition, in order to help the Bellmère family, he did not allow Nami and Nokiko to register with the Bellmère family. Otherwise, the three heads of Tianshangjin would only make their family more difficult!
"Ah! I'm going to kill you! Aaron!"
Knowing that this time either Bell-mère would die, or Nami and Nokiko would die, Ajian struggled for a moment and decided to fight to the death. He directly drew out the standard sword at his waist and made a sneak attack on Arlong who was not far away. However, he and Bell-mère were the focus, and they were facing a murloc, so how could they launch a sneak attack? They were chopped to the ground by a murloc.
"Kill! Kill these fishmen! Save Nami and Nojigo!"
At this time, the villagers also gathered together. Seeing Ajian covered in wounds and blood, they went crazy and rushed directly towards the fish people!
