Villagers exclaim, "THIS IS BAD! THE PIRATES ARE HEADED TO BELLEMERE'S HOME! SO HOW COULD SHE EVER COME UP WITH ENOUGH MONEY!? WHAT DO WE DO!? EVEN WE BARELY MANAGED TO PAY THEM OFF," Genzo runs up to Doctor Nako, shouting, "DOC, WE'VE GOT TROUBLE!" Nako asks, "WHAT IS IT GENZO!? AND WHERE ARE THE CHILDREN...!?" Genzo explains, "THEY SHOULD BE HIDING IN THE FORESTS BUT THEY'RE NOT THERE! THEY MUST'VE TOOK THE BACK ROUTE TO THEIR HOME!" Nako realizes the danger and yells, "OH NO, WE'VE GOTTA STOP THEM!" Nami and Nojiko are shown sprinting desperately towards their house. Nami urges, "NOJIKO, HURRY UP!" and Nojiko replies, "I KNOW!" Back at the house, Bellemere hears a loud knocking at her door. She pauses, cigarette in mouth, and wonders, "OH? ARE THEY BACK?" Page 6: Arlong's crew stands outside Bellemere's house, surrounded by her tangerine orchard. One of the fish-men approaches the door, saying, "IT SHOULD BE OPEN." From inside, Bellemere's voice calls out calmly, "COME IN." The fish-man opens the door, saying, "EXCUSE ME THEN." As he steps into the doorway, Bellemere suddenly launches a fierce kick, slamming the heavy wooden door directly into the fish-man's face with a loud crash. The fish-man is thrown backward by the impact, while Arlong and the rest of the crew look on in surprise. Page 7: Bellemere leaps out of the doorway and pins the stunned fish-man to the ground. She aggressively shoves the barrel of a rifle directly into his mouth, her expression fierce and unyielding. She glares at the rest of the pirates and declares, "UNFORTUNATELY FOR YOU, I USED TO BE A MARINE. WHAT'S A PIRATE FROM THE GRAND LINE, DOING ALL THE WAY OUT HERE, IN THIS LITTLE VILLAGE, OF COCOYASHI...?" The fish-man beneath her sweats in fear, while the silhouettes of Arlong and his crew loom in the foreground.
