A thunderous strike, unstoppable.

Terrifying golden lightning instantly attacked from behind Arlong.

This was the speed of light; it was impossible to dodge.

No matter how hard Arlong had tried earlier, it was all in vain when the speed-of-light attack arrived.

He could only take it head-on.

With a "boom," the lightning struck Arlong's heart directly.

The terrifying lethality of the lightning strike, along with the accompanying high temperatures, caused Arlong's entire body to be enveloped in black smoke.

The shark fish-man rolled his eyes and fell straight to the ground.

"Wow, a lightning attack? So cool!"

Luffy looked at Nami with stars in his eyes.

"That posture, so dashing, so beautiful, I want to be Miss Nami's most loyal dog."

Sanji knelt on one leg in front of Nami with hearts in his eyes, revealing a perverted expression.

Zoro initially showed an appreciative expression, but upon seeing Sanji's state, his face immediately filled with disgust.

"Nami, you fought beautifully!"

The others, seeing this scene, also showed relieved expressions.

"Big Sister Nami is so strong."

"Heh heh, our village has produced a female war god."

"Nami, do you have time to go on a date with my son?"

"Hahaha."

Everyone burst into laughter. Only Sanji, provoked by this remark, had flames erupting from his head, shouting that he wanted to duel the big sister's son.

He discovered it was a 6-year-old boy.

Sanji then showed an embarrassed expression: ⊙▽⊙

Seeing everyone happy, Nami revealed a look of relief.

She put away her Weather Stick and turned to Can Yue and Luffy, saying, "Thank you, I finally..."

Suddenly, a dark shadow appeared behind Nami.

His body was already charred black, yet he could still unleash such rapid speed.

Arlong opened his maw, about to bite down on Nami's swan-like neck.

The distance between them was too close, and Nami had already put away her Weather Stick into her chest's item storage.

There was no time to parry or dodge.

"This is bad!"

Everyone's hearts suddenly pounded violently.

Some people's heartbeats even broke through their throats, crashing into the central nervous system of their brains, making their minds feel like they were about to die.

Colloquially known as being on the verge of fainting.

Luffy, Zoro, and Sanji's bodies had already initiated action.

But judging by the situation, they really couldn't make it in time.

At this critical moment.

A slender hand quickly pressed down on Arlong's head.

Can Yue snorted coldly.

"Sneaking an attack? Do you have the qualifications for that?"

With that, Can Yue exerted force with one hand, smashing Arlong's head fiercely into the ground.

The force was so great that it created a pit with a radius of 0.5 meters in the ground.

This caused Arlong to sustain further injuries, fracturing his nasal bone and cracking his skull.

However, what surprised Can Yue slightly was that even with such severe injuries, Arlong had not lost consciousness.

This guy was still struggling, using his last ounce of strength to try and get up, as if something was more important than his life.

'Hatred?'

Can Yue naturally understood where Arlong's hatred for humans stemmed from.

But he hadn't expected it to be to this extent.

Knowing he was no match, even when on the verge of death with his consciousness blurred, Arlong still attempted to attack.

This kind of anger, deeply ingrained in his subconscious, was truly terrifying.

"Arlong, you've directed your anger to the wrong place!"

As Can Yue spoke, Arlong's struggling movements suddenly stopped.

In a daze, Arlong recalled someone.

It was a robust fish-man, entirely red.

The hero: Fisher Tiger.

"Big Brother..."

With that, Arlong completely lost consciousness.

Can Yue looked at the unconscious Arlong and spoke again.

"But you must pay the price for what you've done."

With Arlong's unconsciousness, the battle was completely over.

The villagers thanked the Straw Hat Crew for their help.

Especially Can Yue and Luffy's decision to let Nami exact her own revenge, which left the villagers deeply moved.

"What a great crew."

"So strong, and so heartwarming. Our little Nami will be so happy in the future."

"And the best part is, he's so handsome, so mysterious, so cool, and so ruthless."

The last sentence was naturally spoken by Nojiko.

As she said it, she gazed at the sky, saliva dripping from the corner of her mouth.

"Ah, I'm so envious of Nami."

Nojiko's reaction was witnessed by Nami, who had just arrived.

Seeing her sister so infatuated.

Nami's first thought was that Can Yue had taken off his mask.

But when she looked back, Can Yue's black and white dual-colored half-mask was still firmly in place.

Thinking this, Nami's expression darkened, and a shadow descended over her forehead.

'It's over. This girl has truly fallen for Can Yue.'

Nojiko hadn't even noticed Nami beside her, still lost in her fantasies, her cheeks flushed and her expression lewd.

Nami, unable to bear it any longer, grabbed Nojiko's shoulders and began to shake her, shouting.

"Nojiko, wake up! Don't fall into a lust trap!"

Her roar was loud enough to snap the dazed Nojiko back to reality, but it also sent the villagers into a flurry of imagination.

Can Yue could naturally hear it too.

His previously calm face instantly turned as dark as storm clouds.

What was Nami saying? A lust trap? Who was she slandering?

Was he that vulgar?

She truly had a lot of nerve.

Can Yue secretly vowed that once they returned to the ship, Nami would have to undergo extra training!

Ten minutes later, the villagers had tied up the surviving members of the Fish-Man Pirates.

Arlong, Hachi, Kuroobi, and Chuu had also woken up and were tied up separately.

Arlong, in particular, had had all his bones broken by Can Yue, making any sneak attack impossible.

This scene signaled that the judgment was about to begin.

Can Yue, Luffy, and the others leaned to the side.

They gave the central position to Nami, Nojiko, and Gen, the three who had suffered the most from Arlong's persecution.

A sea breeze blew past.

Can Yue looked at Nami and nodded in acknowledgment.

"Let's begin. Don't be nervous, we're here."

Nami stood in the center, holding Gen and Nojiko by their hands, took a deep breath, and slowly approached Arlong and the others.

As they got closer, the emotions of the three grew heavier.

In their minds, they all recalled the scene of Bellemere being shot dead by Arlong.

At this moment, Nami spoke coldly.

"Arlong, death sentence!"

The verdict was in, but Arlong showed no fear, still glaring at Nami with his brutal eyes.

Even with every bone in his body broken, Arlong refused to bow down to humans.

"Shrimp-hahahaha, Nami, I won't accept dying at your hands.

If I had another chance, I'd still kill all humans. Humans deserve to die!"

Nami frowned and released Gen and Nojiko's hands.

She pulled out her Weather Stick, twisted the spear tip at the end, and was about to finish Arlong.

Seeing this, Kuroobi and Chuu struggled with all their might, trying to break free from their ropes.

They both furiously cursed Nami as a traitor.

Hachi's reaction was different from the other two; he used all his strength to try and smash his head against the ground, just to beg Nami to spare Arlong's life.

Arlong grinned and laughed, "If Nami can betray us today, she can betray you in the future too."

"Hahaha, she definitely will. You'll all follow in our footsteps."

Kuroobi and Chuu chimed in together.

These guys, even before dying, still tried to slander Nami, attempting to sow discord within the Straw Hat Crew.

But he was overthinking it; the Straw Hat Crew members were completely unfazed by his attempt at provocation.

Only Hachi was still trying to kowtow, continuously shouting for Nami to spare Arlong, saying he was willing to die in Arlong's place.

Zoro and Sanji stepped forward, silencing Kuroobi and Chuu.

Can Yue felt a pang of emotion. Arlong's resentment made him use every means possible to attack humans even in death. If he couldn't use his body, he'd use his words.

But he underestimated the trust among the Straw Hat Crew members.

At this moment, Nami murmured to herself.

"Arlong, you have something you want to accomplish even at the cost of your life, I know.

But the hatred for your mother's killer is irreconcilable.

Your dream can wait for your next life."

With that, Nami took a step forward, ignoring Hachi's desperate pleas.

With a single-armed heave, she thrust her weapon into Arlong's heart.

Arlong, the most evil man in the East Blue, with a bounty of 20,000,000 Belly, died then and there.
