Die!!!

Right after setting Chew alight, Usopp hammers him toward the water and rains down a string of blows with his mallet and rubber band until the officer drops, knocked out. Usopp celebrates, crowing that even he can win and that the fish-men should not underestimate him. Behind Nami's house, Nami bandages a shoulder she cut herself, deciding she has cried enough and must now go to Arlong Park while the others fight.

At the park, Arlong sits before a downed Zoro and Sanji, having floored both with mere splashes of water that left them coughing blood, sneering that this is the gap between their species. Sanji's counterattack is swatted aside. Then Nami appears and declares she has come to kill him. Arlong laughs off her many past attempts and offers a bargain: join him as his cartographer and he will spare the villagers, though not Zoro and Sanji. Remembering Luffy's promise to save her, Nami chooses to stand with the village and asks the people whether they will die alongside her, and they roar their approval. Luffy then jolts awake, spitting water, and Sanji dives to cut his legs free while Zoro holds Arlong off. Usopp arrives and shoots Arlong to draw his attention, but Hatchan starts climbing back to his feet.

Usopp defeats Chew. Nami reaches Arlong Park and openly sides with the villagers, rejecting Arlong's blackmail. Luffy regains consciousness. Sanji begins swimming to release Luffy's trapped legs while Zoro keeps Arlong occupied, and Usopp fires Tamago Boshi to back him up.

The cover continues the Diary of Koby-Meppo serial, with Koby and Helmeppo horrified to be assigned to the very ship transporting the disgraced Morgan to his court-martial. The chapter marks Nami's emotional turning point, as she finally trusts her crew enough to gamble the whole village's fate on Luffy's word.
