Volume 9: Tear

Usop was captured by Arlong and brought to Arlong Park. Nami releases Zoro and tells him to escape from there as soon as possible. Zoro did not escape. He just beat up all the mermaids and went to Kokoyashi village.

When Nami returns to Arlong park and sees Usop there, she was upset because Usop could ruin her plan. She pretends to kill Usop in front of Arlong. When Zoro heard that Usop was at Arlong Park, he decided to go back and rescue Usop.

Finally, Luefy, Sanji, and Yosaku arrived at Kokoyashi village. They met Zoro and learned that Nami has killed Usop. Nami told them to get out of this island, but Luefy just doesn't care. He won't leave until Nami comes with him!

Nogiko comes to see them, and tells them Nami's story. Luefy doesn't want to know her story, so he takes a walk.

Nami wants to collect one billion Beli to buy Kokoyashi village from Arlong. When Nami was young, Kokoyashi village was invaded by Arlong, and Arlong killed Nami's mother, Belmel. When Arlong found out that Nami was very good at navigation, he made an offer to Nami. In order to save everyone in Kokoyashi village, Nami has to work for them. Also, if Nami can give him one billion Beli, Arlong will sell Kokoyashi village to Nami, and Nami can be free from him. That's the reason Nami collects a lot of money. Nami was about to collect one billion Beli, but Arlong betrayed her. Everyone in the village cannot stand Arlong's actions anymore, so they decided to fight. Nami went to stop them, but she couldn't. Luefy walked to her. Nami started to cry and asked Luefy, "Help me.." Luefy replies,"Sure!"
