Short Summary
Arlong's Fishmen have been beaten by Zoro while they were in Cocoyasi Village. In order to regain the trust of the pirates who start to think that she let the swordman escape, Nami starts to fight with Usopp who has been captured. She even stabs him and plunge him into the sea. Satisfied by this behavior worth of a true Arlong Pirate, the Fishmen congratulate her. However she tells him that she only did that so that she can buy the village Arlong promised her. Johnny also has seen this and quickly runs back towards the village.

Meanwhile Hatchan comes back and understand that he has been tricked by Zoro. Luffy and Sanji pulled by the sea monster Mohmoo finally arrive in view of Arlong Park.

Long Summary
Arlong explains that since he has the highest Bounty in all of East blue it's natural that a bounty hunter would want to take him out, and wonders where Zoro could be, to which Usopp responds that he doesn't know and asks to be let go. Though his lie doesn't fool anyone, Arlong then gets the idea to kill Usopp to get Zoro to show up, but Usopp tells them that this won't work and asks Nami for help. Causing more doubt among the crew about Nami's loyalty, and Usopp berates her for betraying Luffy saying that even now he still trusts her, to which Nami calls him an idiot. Hatchan then returns, and is surprised that Arlong is back and that his comrades are hurt, and is even more surprised to learn that it was Zoro who did it, telling the crew that he just gave him a ride to Cocoyasi Village cause he was looking for Arlong and he thought he was Arlong's guest. Which makes Arlong happy that Zoro is looking for him, Hatchan then asks who Usopp is which makes Nami attack Usopp saying that she'll kill him and she pretends to kill him and Johnny sees this and thinks Nami actually killed Usopp along with the rest of the crew. Nami then pushes Usopp into the pool which solidifies the crew's trust of her, and she reminds them again of her goal. Luffy, Sanji, Yosaku, and Zoro all arrive at Arlong park.
