## One Piece Chapter 78, pages 10-11: BELLEMERE - Chapter: 78 - Pages: 10-11 - Characters: Bellemere, Genzo, Arlong, unidentified fish-men ### Summary Page 10: Bellemere lies on the ground, clutching her broken arm, blood dripping from her mouth. She realizes the grim reality, thinking, "IT'S NO GOOD...! THESE GUYS ARE LITERALLY MONSTERS! I'M GOING TO BE KILLED! NOJIKO... NAMI...!" Genzo arrives at the scene, yelling, "BELLEMERE, YOU FOOL! DON'T THROW YOUR LIFE AWAY JUST BECAUSE OF SOME INANE SENSE OF JUSTICE! THIS IS A MEANINGLESS FIGHT! YOU CAN SOLVE IT WITH MONEY ALONE!" Bellemere looks up, surprised to see him, "GEN...!" Genzo explains the situation to her: "IT'S AS HE SAYS, MARINE GIRL... 100 GRAND FOR ONE HUMAN ADULT, AND 50 GRAND FOR ONE HUMAN CHILD. AS LONG AS EACH HOUSEHOLD CAN PAY THAT AMOUNT, THE VILLAGE WILL BE FINE. EACH HOUSEHOLD..." Arlong looms over Bellemere and asks, "BELLEMERE, HOW MUCH MONEY DO YOU HAVE SAVED UP?" Bellemere thinks to herself in despair, "EVEN WITH MY SECRET SAVINGS, I BARELY HAVE 100 GRAND... NOT NEARLY ENOUGH..." Page 11: A fish-man calls out from inside Bellemere's house, "ARLONG! THERE'S A MEAL SET UP FOR 3 PEOPLE INSIDE! 3 PEOPLE MUST BE LIVING HERE!" Genzo quickly steps in to cover for her, saying loudly, "BELLEMERE... JUST PAY THE AMOUNT FOR ONE ADULT. YOU INVITED ME FOR TONIGHT'S DINNER, RIGHT!? SO HURRY UP LEST THE FOOD GO COLD..." Bellemere looks at Genzo, understanding his attempt to save her daughters. Genzo thinks with relief, "GOOD THING YOU HAD ENOUGH MONEY... LOOKS LIKE ALL THE VILLAGERS ARE SAFE FOR NOW." However, another fish-man holding a book reports, "ACCORDING TO THE TOWN REGISTRY, THIS WOMAN'S NEVER BEEN MARRIED NOR HAD ANY CHILDREN." Arlong accepts this information and says, "ALRIGHT THEN... THAT'LL BE 100,000 BELI THEN. ARE YOU GOING TO PAY UP OR WOULD YOU RATHER DIE INSTEAD?"
