"HMM?" he murmurs. One of his fish-men points towards the outskirts of the village, saying, "ARLONG! THERE SEEMS TO BE A HOUSE A LITTLE AWAY FROM THE VILLAGE! OVER THERE." Genzo's face contorts in horror as he realizes what they've spotted. "NO...!" he gasps. The villagers panic, murmuring, "THAT SMOKE MUST BE COMING FROM SOMEONE'S HOME." Young Nami and Nojiko look on in sheer terror, crying out, "BELLEMERE!" Arlong's sharp-toothed grin returns as he says, "WE ALMOST MISSED IT..."
