Short Summary
Arlong tries to kill Genzo in order to remind the people of Cocoyasi Village that it was no use to fight the Arlong Pirates, but Genzo is saved thanks to Usopp.

Long Summary
Genzo possesses a weapon which is forbidden by Arlong rules, as a weapon may be seen as a start of rebellion against him. As a result, Genzo shall die, and make an example of the inferiority of humans against Fishmen. While the villagers of Cocoyasi Village try to save the life of their friend, Genzo begs them to stay quiet as it would mean that what they have done for the past 8 years would have been for nothing.

When Arlong is about to give Genzo the final blow, he is hit by an explosion. It is Usopp who has targeted him from a roof nearby and tries to act bravely. This makes Arlong go berserk, and as an answer to Usopp's insult, he destroys the house on which he is staying. Afraid that their leader will destroy all the village which they need to get money, the Fishmen restrain him and promise to catch Usopp and take him back to Arlong Park.

After Arlong's departure and while the Fishmen are trying to capture the running Usopp, Nami makes her apparition in the village. Everyone ignores her besides her sister. She has came to deposit flowers on a grave. She tells Nojiko that she only needs 7,000,000 more until she can buy the village.

Meanwhile, in Arlong Park, Zoro who has been freed by Nami has defeated every Fishman and is waiting so that he can take Nami back to Luffy.
