## One Piece Chapter 81, pages 5-7: TEARS - Chapter: 81 - Pages: 5-7 - Characters: Genzo, villagers, Nami, Arlong, Chew ### Summary Page 5: A view of the quiet village houses and trees is shown. The villagers' resolve is voiced over the scene: "8 YEARS AGO, WE SWORE NOT TO THROW OUR LIVES AWAY! NO MATTER HOW PAINFUL IT MAY BE LIVING UNDER THEIR RULE, WE SWORE THAT AS LONG AS NAMI WAS FINE, WE WOULD LIMIT OURSELVES TO A FIGHT OF ENDURANCE! BUT THIS IS HOW THEY ANSWERED US!" The scene shifts to the villagers, armed and marching together down the dirt path, their footsteps rumbling as they head toward Arlong Park. Genzo leads the charge, his face set in a grim, determined scowl. Page 6: Genzo marches forward, gripping his weapon tightly. "NOW THAT OUR ONLY CHANCE OF LIBERATION HAS BEEN DENIED, THERE IS NO LONGER ANY HOPE FOR THIS ISLAND! BUT WE SHALL NEVER FORGIVE THOSE FISHMEN, WHO DARED TO TOY AROUND WITH THE KINDNESS OF THAT GIRL!" The villagers march behind him, their voices rising in agreement. "ANY OBJECTIONS?" "OF COURSE NOT! NOW LET'S GO!" "AS IF WE'D ACCEPT THEIR RULE NOW THAT THINGS HAVE COME TO THIS!" "EVERYONE IN THE WHOLE VILLAGE HAS ALWAYS BEEN PREPARED TO FIGHT! SO LET'S DO THIS!" Suddenly, Nami runs out in front of them, skidding to a halt and spreading her arms wide to block their path. "WAIT, EVERYONE!" Page 7: Nami stands before the armed villagers, forcing a bright smile while tears stream down her face. "PLEASE JUST WAIT A LITTLE MORE! I'LL TRY MY BEST AGAIN SO PLEASE! HAHA... IT'LL ACTUALLY BE EASIER THIS TIME! I PROMISE I'LL RAISE ENOUGH MONEY ONCE MORE!" The villagers stare at her in stunned silence, their faces filled with sorrow. Someone mutters, "NAC-CHAN..." A flashback shows Arlong and his officers. Chew remarks, "YOU SURE CAN THINK UP PRETTY HEARTLESS THINGS... CHU <3" Arlong, sitting in his chair, replies, "HMPH, AS IF I'D JUST LET A CARTOGRAPHER AS TALENTED AS HER GET AWAY! BUT EVEN SO, I'M NO DEMON." He laughs menacingly, "I'LL SET HER FREE ONCE SHE MAKES A MAP OF ALL THE WORLD'S OCEANS! PUHAHA HAHA! HOW MANY DECADES IS THAT GONNA TAKE!?"
