"Captain, is what that scum pirate said true?" A man in his twenties asked his Captain.

"Chichich, You don't need to worry. I know Arlong and he wouldn't lie about money. Besides... Did you call the headquarters and ask for reinforcement?" The captain looks at his subordinate and asks about what he told him to do earlier before they left at the base.

"Yes, Captain Nezumi. Also the one who will be our reinforcement is 'White Chase' Captain Smoker from Lougetown." The subordinate said to his Captain which name is, Nezumi.

"Chichichi. Looks like I'll be on the front page of the newspaper tomorrow morning" The captain named Nezumi laughed aloud saying those words.

"Yes Captain, Many people will look at you as a hero who helps the poor and unfortunate one to the ruthless Arlong Pirates " The subordinate said and tried to carry some favors by saying good things.

"Chichichi " The Captain just laughed at him and continued to walk to their destination.

Im a certain household

"Hmm.. hmm...Hmm" A beautiful blue haired lady humming an unknown music while cleaning the house.

Then suddenly, there is a knock coming from the door. She stops what she is doing and opens the door to see who it is. After opening, she saw a group of men wearing a white shirt and a cap that had 'MARINE' written on it.

She was surprised and confused as well, because why would a group of marines come to her house.

"Good morning sir, What may I help you?" She asked the leader of the marine who is quite similar to a mouse, because of his mustache similar to a mouse.

"Hmm... Men search the area and don't leave the house till the stolen thing is found" The leader of the marine said to his subordinate and ignored the blue haired woman who asked him.

"WAIT! DON'T!!!" The blue haired woman couldn't stop them, because of their numbers also her strength is insufficient to fight them.

"Miss, don't stop them or else I'll take you as an accomplice of the thief that stole many valuables from various merchants" The leader looked coldly to the blue haired woman while saying those words to her.

"What thief? There is no thief here and those stolen valuable items. So, please stop destroying the things in my house pleased" The woman was confused and pleaded to the leader of the marines.

The captain ignores the lady and stares at his subordinate to destroy the house to search for the treasure. He saw his subordinates pluck the wooden floor and destroy some couches and open it to search the treasure, but to their avail no treasure was found.

"Captain Nezumi, we searched the whole house, but we couldn't find the stolen treas... " The subordinate looked at his Captain and said those words to him, vit before he finished saying it, someone interrupted him.

"What you are doing here and why did you destroy the house of my friend!" A man in average height, black-haired with a thick mustache appeared and shouting at the group of people who wore a white shirt, blue pants, and a hat with the written word 'MARINE'.

"Genzo, they are searching for 'Stolen Treasure' , but I didn't even know what 'stolen treasure they are looking for" Said by the blue-haired woman said and as if hinting something to the man named, Genzo.

The man who heard what the blue haired woman said completely understood what she was hinting and nodded secretly at her. He looks at the group of people, they are marines, an organization that the World Government created to enforce the law and ensure the safety of the people.

"Do you think that if you are a marine you can do whatever you want? Do you have any warrant from headquarters that you can search this house?" Genzo said to the group of marines and his eyes focusing on the one marine who had a cape that had a captain written on it.

"Chichichi, yes we have, here!. Also, I'll take you and this woman, because you are an accomplice. Boys get them cuffed, Chichichi " The captain of the marines look at the black haired man named Genzo and to the blue haired woman coldly.

"You can't do this, you don't have any evidence " The blue haired woman shoutedly said to the marines.

"Chichichi, So what? I'm the law here! Also don't fight or else I may have slipped to touch the trigger of this gun and you will die" Nezumi looks at them and laughs loudly while pointing a gun at the two.

"Nojiko let them handcuffs both of us and don't ever fight. I don't want to repeat the past " Genzo said to the blue haired woman named, Nojiko.

"Check the garden" Nuzemi said to hia subordinates

Nojiko nodded at him and let the marines handcuff them and suddenly when she heard what the captain of the marines said. Her body flinched in a moment which couldn't be hidden from the eyes of Nezumi.

"Chichichichi! Go to the garden immediately! The treasure is there" Nezumi hastily said to his subordinate and all of them go to the garden and start to search.

"You can't come here!" Nojiko blocked them, but Nezumi push her and she fell.

"You asshole marines! Stop what you are doing!" Genzo firsts help Nojiko to stand up and after that he also bloked them. He know what is hidden on the garden and he doesn't want the marines to find it, because once they saw what is hidden the garden. He and the residents of the village will lose hope. He know that the sister of Nojiko, Nami, work hard to earn those 'treasure' since she was child to be able buy the Village from the Arlong Pirates.

"I've been annoyed with you two for a while and I didn't want to cause more commotion, but you broke the last layer of my patience. Everyone kills the old man and you can do whatever you want to that woman" Nezumi angrily said to his subordinates

"But Captain... If the higher up found about this, we will surely end up dying" Ome of his subordinates said.

"Are you a fool? Then kill all the witness and said to the higher-ups that while we are fighting to the Arlong Pirates some unfortunate people in the village died, because Arlong used them as a shield" Nezumi look at his subordinate and explain to them what will they do afterwards.

His subordinates creepily grinned and one of them raise his gun and point toward to Genzo while some of them are walking towards to Nojiko.
