"For justice!"
The Marines roared as they drew their blades and charged at the Fish-Men trapped within the encirclement.
"Damn humans!"
Kuroobi's eyes were bloodshot as he assumed a karate stance, knocking a nearby Marine back with a palm strike that made him spit blood.
But even more Marines rushed forward!
"Die!"
A long blade slashed down!
Clang!
Kuroobi immediately raised his right arm, using the fin on the outside of his shoulder to block the blade. Only his skin was cut open, blood seeping out.
Triangular fins grew from his elbows to his shoulders, beneath which were fish bones as hard as steel. They were both his finest defensive weapons and his strongest means of attack.
"Ha!"
He twisted his body, easily knocking aside the Marine's blade with his fin before throwing a straight punch with a shout.
"Fish-Man Karate: Five Hundred Brick Fist!"
Boom!
Several Marines directly in front of him screamed as they were blasted backward, crashing into and knocking down more than a dozen others. His formidable arm strength left the Marines stunned.
This was a Fish-Man!
"Show some courage! The enemy is Kuroobi, an officer of the Arlong Pirates, a powerful pirate with a bounty of nine million Beli! It's only natural that he has this kind of strength!"
"The injured, fall back! Everyone else, take their places!"
"Don't give the enemy time to catch his breath!"
"Show them the results of your training!"
Without needing orders, the Marines organized their assault on their own.
Before the battle, Lieutenant Commander Luo Ya had already informed them of the enemy's detailed intelligence. Though the enemy was incredibly strong, they held an absolute advantage in numbers. As long as they exhausted him, victory would certainly be theirs.
They had already graduated. They were no longer rookies who
