End, the Arlong Pirates, Destroyed

Moreover, the fact that this person didn't participate in the battle indicates that he is definitely weak and has been under protection the whole time.

So, if I use this person as a breakthrough point and take him hostage to buy myself some time to escape... I might actually be able to get away.

Upon thinking of this, Arlong couldn't hold back any longer, and his body began to tremble with excitement.

The principle of "one effort, then decline, then exhaustion" may not be explicitly stated in the One Piece World, but the underlying principle remains the same.

Therefore, Arlong naturally understood the importance of acting quickly after making a decision.

So, having made up his mind to take action against Wu Tong, Arlong immediately took action.

Bump...

Without warning, Arlong suddenly took a step, using the reaction force he exerted on the ground.

They immediately rushed eastward, towards Wu Tong's direction.

Others who saw Arlong running away and originally wanted to chase after him changed their minds after seeing clearly the direction and movements Arlong was running away.

He immediately stopped what he was doing, and a strange expression appeared on his face.

Even more so, several people cast glances at him as if he were a warrior.

"???"

As Arlong charged toward Wu Tong, he naturally couldn't ignore the situation of the others.

So, when he saw the "you're really brave" looks on everyone's faces, he was completely dumbfounded.

What's going on?

Instead of stopping me, they looked at me like I was an idiot.

Could it be... that I guessed wrong?

The moment the thought crossed his mind, Arlong's heart skipped a beat.

If... if he really guessed wrong, then his current behavior is...

Walking right into a trap?!

Thinking of this, Arlong wanted to stop, but because he had rushed too fast, before Arlong could react, his body was already in front of Wu Tong.

"Wow, that's impressive. You actually want to use me as a breakthrough point? What were you thinking?"

Seeing Arlong rushing towards him, Wu Tong couldn't help but show a strange expression.

He never expected that someone would come knocking on his door while he was just standing there peacefully.

And they came here to die willingly! I've never seen anyone like this in my eight lifetimes!

"Um... I went to the wrong place. Can I go back?"

At this moment, Arlong had snapped out of his thoughts.

Looking at Wu Tong's strange expression, and considering the state of the others... he realized he had probably really miscalculated this time; he had looked for a weakness but ended up finding a powerful backer.

"Oh..."

Wu Tong didn't waste any words with him and directly unleashed four sword energies, separating Arlong's limbs from his body.

"Ah..."

Arlong, his limbs severed, lay on the ground, emitting a series of shrill howls, sounds like the wailing of ghosts and wolves, making one want to laugh.

There was nothing they could do. Everyone said that when they thought about the bad things Arlong had done and his suicide attempt just now, they couldn't feel any pity for him.

"Alright, the Arlong gang has been dealt with. Next, we'll take care of the Nezumi and the others, and then this matter will be completely over."

"Nami, go to the village and inform the villagers that they should come here soon to participate in the trial of Arlong and the Nezumi."

After all, they are also victims; if the culprits are to be tried, they should also have the right to know.

Wu Tong glanced at Arlong Long, who was lying on the ground groaning incessantly but had no power to resist, and then turned to Nami was crying tears of joy beside her.

"Um, I, I'll go right away!"

Nami wiped away the tears that streamed down her face from her overwhelming excitement, and, suppressing her emotions, replied in a slightly trembling voice.

After saying that, he didn't care about anything else and took off running towards Cocoyasi Village.

"Well..."

Garp sighed, looking at the extravagant and luxurious buildings of Arlong Park, his heart filled with resentment.

Although he had already dealt with Arlong and his pirate crew, he could almost see the suffering and oppression of the people behind this prosperous ruin.

Every time he thinks of this, he feels a sharp pain in his heart.

If he had been more careful in his daily life, perhaps the residents of these islands wouldn't have had to go through this...

Wu Tong knew what Garp was thinking the moment he saw Garp's expression.

That's normal, though. Garp may seem unreliable, but that's only in his everyday behavior.

Aside from his tendency to act on emotion, he is essentially a peace-loving naval officer, so it's no surprise that he was upset after learning about what had happened in the navy.

So Wu Tong comforted him, "Alright, Uncle Garp, don't think about it so much. It's not your fault."

The main problem lies with that Colonel Nezumi who colluded with Arlong. If it weren't for him, Arlong and his pirate gang might have been wiped out by the Navy long ago.

It's not really your business, don't take everything on yourself.

"..."

Garp didn't answer, but just quietly looked at the surroundings.

——

Soon, about ten minutes later, Bogart arrived at Arlong Park with Colonel Nezumi.

Colonel Nezumi and Arlong were tied up together and thrown onto the makeshift execution platform in the center.

A dozen minutes later, the villagers of Cocoyasi Village also arrived at Arlong Park.

Upon seeing the ruins of Arlong Park, and Arlong and Colonel Nezumi bound to the execution platform, all the villagers couldn't help but burst into tears of joy.

"Waaaaah... It's true, it's really true! The Arlong Pirates are finally all dead! Thank goodness!"

"Hahahaha... Father, did you see that? The Arlong Pirates have finally been Destruction. You can finally rest in peace in the afterlife."

"Great! The Arlong Pirates have collapsed! We can finally be free!"

Soon, amidst the villagers' excited and resentful gazes, the Arlong and Colonel Nezumi, driven by popular sentiment, were reduced to two corpses.

After dealing with the two scourges, the Arlong and the Nezumi, according to the conventions of the One Piece World, a grand and celebratory banquet is inevitable.

And the facts were just as Wu Tong had guessed.

After nightfall.

To celebrate the execution of the Arlong Pirates and Colonel Nezumi, Cocoyasi Village immediately held a grand feast, which all the villagers participated in.
