If you can't speak, then there's no need to talk!

Arlong: (Sarcastically) "Low low."

Kahn's foot shot down like a descending judgment, silencing Arlong before he could complete his second word.

Crack!

A grotesque sound of bone crushing and a chilling squelch resonated in the air as Arlong's head was reduced to a morbid mess.

Nami: (Stunned) "Lieutenant General Kahn."

Kahn's foot slowly lifted from Arlong's obliterated head, revealing a scene that could only be described as nightmarish.

Kahn: (Exhales) "Well, that's taken care of."

Nami: (Whispering) "Aaron's bounty was 20 million Baileys."

Kahn: (Frozen) "Damn it, how did I forget about that!"

With a swift realization, Kahn's eyes widened, and a grin spread across his face.

Kahn: (Grinning) "This guy owes me 20 million!"

Pochi: "Lieutenant General Kahn, is there an issue?"

Kahn: "Aaron's bounty was 20 million. I could have claimed the reward."

Pochi: "But the condition is that the appearance of the deceased should be identifiable."

Kahn: (Sighs) "So I can only write a report for the reward."

Pochi: "Yes, Lieutenant General Kahn."

Kahn: "And that means this bonus will be deducted from your next share."

Pochi: (Stammering) "What?!"

Kahn: "Your mistake for not reminding me earlier."

Amidst the villagers' jubilant cheers, Nami's eyes locked onto Kahn with gratitude.

Nami: (Moved) "You've shown incredible strength, Kahn."

Kahn: (Chuckles) "Strength is the foundation of justice."

Nami: "We still have unfinished business. Let me show you where the rest of the treasure is hidden."

Kahn and Nami followed a concealed path that led them to a secret chamber, brimming with neatly stacked banknotes.

Kahn: "This is only banknotes. Where are the actual treasures?"

Nami: (Annoyed) "The rest of the treasure is hidden underwater. Follow me."

The duo descended into the depths of the sea, where the hidden treasures lay.

Kahn: (Astonished) "Impressive, Nami. This is quite a haul."

Nami: "It's thanks to you, vice admiral Kahn."

Kahn: "Well, let's return and ensure this wealth benefits those who deserve it."

As Kahn's warship sailed away from Cocosia Village, the chorus of villagers' cheers echoed in the air.

Villager: (Shouting) "Long live the Navy!"

Kahn: (Smiling) "Remember, Nami, I'm here if you ever need assistance. For a reasonable price, of course."

Nami: (Thoughtful) "A money-grubber till the end."

As Kahn's ship faded into the horizon, Nami stood at the water's edge, captivated by the expanse of the open sea.

Nami: (Whispering) "I'm finally free."

The waves continued their rhythmic dance against the shore, carrying with them the promise of new beginnings and boundless horizons.
