That human had not only easily caught Kuroobi's killing move, but had also killed Kuroobi with just one slash?
The fish-men, led by A-Chiu, were both furious and unable to believe it.
Ever since they had come to East Blue, the humans they encountered had basically all been utterly useless.
Even the Marines who came to subjugate them had been dealt with in just a few moves.

Then it flew straight toward A-Chiu's mouth.
