Boom! Boom! Boom!
Dense lightning blanketed the entire Arlong Park, sealing off every escape route for the Fish-men as it began indiscriminate area attacks.
"Captain, save me!!!"
"Damn it, run!!!"
Under Nami's control, silver-white lightning darted and slithered like Poisonous Snakes.
Harvesting the lives of one Fish-man after another.
Miserable, agonized screams echoed through the sky above the park.
The enormous commotion caught the attention of the villagers from Cocos Village.
When they saw the horrifying scene, all of them widened their eyes, their pupils filled with disbelief.
That person was... Nami?!
At that moment, Arlong Park had completely become a graveyard for the Fish-men.
In just a short while, more than half of the Fish-men had died beneath the lightning.
Before lightning that resembled a natural disaster, these Fish-men had no power to resist at all.
"Not enough, not enough!!!" Nami's eyes were filled with indifference as she ignored the drain on her strength and increased the lightning output once more.
Rumble!
Rumble!
Bowl-thick bolts of lightning crashed down fiercely. The buildings within Arlong Park collapsed one after another, kicking up dust that filled the sky.
The remaining Fish-men could no longer summon any will to resist and began fleeing in all directions.
Some unlucky ones were directly crushed into fish paste by the collapsing buildings.
"Looks like Nami is really angry."
On the Merry, Kaya and Makino watched the scene below, secretly clicking their tongues in amazement.
This was the first time they had seen Nami so violent and ruthless.
"Let Nami vent properly."
Reno understood Nami's feelings very well at that moment.
Eight years of resentment—let it all be released today.
Under the relentless bombardment of lightning, Arlong Park was completely reduced to ruins.
Curious villagers arrived after hearing the commotion and gathered before the gates of Arlong Park.
Nami's face was flushed as she panted lightly.
A few minutes later, the lightning abruptly stopped. The sounds subsided, and the ground had turned charred black.
"Arlong, get the hell out here!!!"
Most of Nami's attention was focused on Arlong. She knew he was not dead.
Cough, cough.
A bout of coughing came from somewhere beneath the rubble.
"Nami!!!!"
A voice filled with hatred, as if from hell itself, rang out.
The next second, Arlong pushed aside the debris crushing him and crawled out in a sorry state.
His eyes were bloodshot, and even half of his saw-like nose had been broken off.
Though Arlong had luckily survived the relentless lightning bombardment, he had suffered severe injuries.
"Hehehe, Arlong, your vitality really is tenacious."
"Your companions are all dead, yet you alone survived."
Nami's mocking voice drifted over.
Arlong panted heavily. As the dust gradually settled, he looked at the ruins before him.
All of his Fish-man companions were dead.
Most had died beneath the lightning, while a small number had been crushed to death by the collapsed buildings.
Even Hachi in the pool had not escaped disaster.
At that moment, only he remained, barely clinging to life.
"Nami!!!"
"You deserve to die!!!"
Arlong roared with his eyes splitting in fury, his howl echoing through the sky.
Nami walked toward Arlong expressionlessly, a mocking curve lifting at the corner of her lips as she sneered:
"Arlong, the pain you've endured isn't even a fraction of mine!!!"
Lightning Spear!!!
A Lightning Spear condensed from high-density lightning slowly took shape, its tip aimed directly at Arlong.
"Nami, I'll kill you!!!!"
Knowing there was no escape, Arlong let out an enraged roar and charged at Nami with his final resolve.
A cruel sneer appeared on Nami's face as she ruthlessly hurled the Lightning Spear.
With a sharp whistle through the air, the Lightning Spear pierced through Arlong's body in an instant.
Lightning Power surged into him, crazily destroying his bodily functions.
Arlong, at the end of his strength, could no longer hold on and collapsed heavily into a pool of blood.
His entire body convulsed, with only a final breath keeping him alive.
Nami slowly stepped forward and looked down at Arlong from above.
Like the Lightning Queen gazing down upon an ant.
"Arlong, look at how pitiful you are now."
Arlong could no longer speak, but he still stared at Nami with venomous eyes.
"When you get down there, repent to my adoptive mother and everyone you murdered."
Nami extended her palm, and Terrifying Lightning Power erupted once again.
With a bang, Arlong's head exploded.
Looking at Arlong, dead beyond all doubt, Nami felt dazed.
Had she really done this herself?!
Arlong, whom she had once regarded as invincible, had truly died by her hand.
Crack.
It felt as though some shackle deep within Nami's heart had shattered.
Coming back to her senses, Nami raised her head toward the sky and murmured softly, "Mother, I killed Arlong. You can rest in peace now."
Just then, Reno descended gracefully with Kaya and Makino.
The Merry remained suspended in the air, still supported by Island Cloud.
Arriving at Nami's side, Reno gently pulled her into his arms and said softly, "It's all over now."
Nami nodded heavily and looked at Reno with gratitude.
Meeting Reno had been the luckiest thing in her life.
He had given her a new life.
"Reno, let me take you to see my home. If my sister finds out Arlong is dead, she'll definitely be very happy." Nami took Reno's hand of her own accord.
Reno smiled and shook his head. "Don't rush. There's still one fish that slipped through the net."
"Get the hell out here!!!"
Please give flowers, recommendation votes, and monthly tickets.
Thoughtful Nami, the Sisters Acquired! (Please Support!)
"Get the hell out here!"
There was still a survivor?!
The newly relaxed Nami became alert again.
Lightning Power surged throughout her body.
"Who?!"
One second.
Two seconds.
No one answered.
Reno's lips curled slightly as he casually fired a bolt of lightning at a collapsed building to the east.
"Don't, don't... I'm coming out, I'm coming out now."
A panicked, pleading voice rang out.
Then Nami saw Captain Mouse crawl out from a gap in the ruins, filthy and disheveled, with a large chest still clutched in his hands.
"You?!!" Nami looked at Captain Mouse with an icy expression.
Arlong had been able to tyrannize Cocos Village for so many years because Captain Mouse had covered for him and greased the wheels.
In Nami's eyes, Captain Mouse's evil was no less than Arlong's.
They both deserved to die.
"Don't kill me. I'm a Marine captain. Please, don't kill me."
Captain Mouse scrambled toward Nami and knelt down without a shred of dignity.
Nami had wiped out the entire Arlong Pirates by herself. How could he possibly be her match?
He had thought he was hidden well enough, yet he had still been discovered.
"Now you know you were wrong?!"
"What were you thinking when you acted as Arlong's shield?!"
Reno glanced disdainfully at Captain Mouse. Even now, he was still clutching the money chest tightly.
Captain Mouse kowtowed furiously and begged, "That bastard Arlong misled me. That's why I did so many wrong things."
"As long as you spare me, I'll definitely turn over a new leaf."
Heh.
Only when the blade was at his neck did he know to repent?!
What had he been doing earlier?
For someone like this, killing him was simply eliminating a scourge for the people.
Reno looked at Captain Mouse, whose head was banging against the ground, and could not be bothered with any more nonsense. He sent him on his way directly and took the money chest for good measure.
When they left Arlong Park with the women, many villagers had already gathered outside.
Their expressions were blank, clearly still stunned by what they had just witnessed.
Not long after Reno and the women left.
The villagers, still shaken, worked up the courage to enter the ruined Arlong Park. After confirming that Arlong and all the Fish-men were truly dead.
The villagers spread the word far and wide, sharing the good news with everyone else.
Before long, all of Cocos Village was swept up in a sea of joy.
