## One Piece Chapter 81, pages 3-5: TEARS - Chapter: 81 - Pages: 3-5 - Characters: Arlong, Nami, Genzo, villagers ### Summary Page 3: Arlong continues his threat, leaning closer to Nami. "YOU'RE NOT GOING TO RUN AWAY, ARE YOU? JUST KEEP IN MIND THAT IF YOU DO... I'LL HAVE EVERYONE IN COCOYASHI VILLAGE KILLED BECAUSE OF YOU..." Nami turns and sprints away, tears flying from her eyes. As she runs, the thoughts of the villagers echo in her mind: "WE KNEW ALL ALONG, NAMI... BUT WE FEARED THAT IF YOU KNEW THAT WE KNEW, OUR HOPES WOULD PRESSURE YOU INTO STAYING IF YOU EVER WANTED TO RUN AWAY FROM IT ALL. THAT'S WHY WE PRETENDED NOT TO KNOW." She dashes past Arlong and his crew. Arlong watches her go, amused. "HM? WHAT'S WRONG, NAMI? ARE YOU GOING TO RUN AWAY? SHAHA HAHA!" Page 4: In the village, Genzo, his face scarred and a pinwheel on his hat, shouts with fierce determination, "THAT DOES IT! ARM YOURSELVES, FOR IT'S TIME TO FIGHT!" Nami and the villagers react with shock and panic. "GEN! EVERYONE! PLEASE...!" "PLEASE DON'T BE RASH..." "YOU CAN'T DIE..." "BECAUSE THAT'LL BE THE END OF EVERYTHING!" Genzo yells back, tears in his eyes, "WE HAVE TO LIVE ON NO MATTER WHAT...! OTHERWISE IT'LL ALL BE OVER!" Inspired by his words, the villagers raise their weapons - pitchforks, swords, and clubs - and let out a unified, roaring battle cry: "UOOOOOOHHH!" 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.
