Reader’s Question:
I have a question about the One Piece storyline. In the series, Arlong managed to bribe a corrupt Navy rat to keep information about bounties and damages from leaking to the outside world. However, during the middle of the story, a resident of the town of Gosa reported this,
leading to a Navy ship being dispatched, commanded by a Rear Admiral named Prun Prun from the 77th branch. It seems that the resident reported that the rat was bribed by Arlong and couldn’t be trusted. Does this mean that the bribery and wrongdoing were exposed at that point? After Luffy and his crew defeated Arlong, the rat returned to the base without any issues, but is it likely that he was arrested once the evidence against him became solid?
Unraveling the Mystery of Arlong’s Bribes
So, I was diving deep into the world of One Piece the other day, and I couldn’t help but get swept up in the whole Arlong arc. You know, the one where Luffy and his crew take on the infamous Arlong Pirates? It’s such a classic! But there’s this part that really got me thinking about the complexities of the storyline, especially regarding that corrupt Navy rat. Remember how Arlong managed to bribe him to hush up about all the bounties and damages? It’s such a slippery slope when you think about it. The corruption runs deep! It was like watching a live-action soap opera, and then out of nowhere, a resident of Gosa spills the beans about this rat’s shady dealings. It’s kind of surprising, right? I mean, you could cut the tension with a knife! When Rear Admiral Prun Prun shows up with his ship, you could just feel the anticipation. It’s like when you’re waiting for the punchline in a stand-up comedy show, and you know it’s going to be good. But here’s where it gets interesting. After Luffy and his crew take down Arlong, the rat just strolls back to the base like nothing happened. I can’t help but wonder if he had the same confidence I had when I thought I could finish an entire pizza by myself (spoiler alert: I couldn’t). But getting back on track, it makes sense that during the Navy’s investigation into Luffy’s crew, they would stumble upon more evidence of the rat’s bribery. I mean, if they found out about Morgan’s involvement, I can only imagine the chaos that ensued. The idea of the rat being put on trial just tickles me! Can you picture him sweating bullets while trying to explain his way out of it? That’s the kind of ridiculousness that makes One Piece so entertaining. Reflecting on this whole situation, it’s like a little reminder of how sometimes people think they can get away with shady business, only for it to come back and bite them in the end. It’s almost like life throwing you a curveball when you least expect it—like when you think you’re going to have a quiet night in, but then your friends show up with snack bags and party hats. So, what do you all think? Do you believe the rat faced the music eventually, or do you think he slipped through the cracks? I’d love to hear your thoughts or any funny stories about times you’ve witnessed a little corruption in your own life. Share your experiences in the comments!
