Despicable? Yes, That's Me!

"Nami, what are you doing!"

"I'm talking to you, you bastards!"

"Mere humans, how dare you ignore us!"

The Fish-Men couldn't help but show anger on their faces.

Ever since they came to the East Blue...

They had never seen anyone so arrogant!

"Attack! Take them down!"

Several nearby Fish-Men, their faces contorted with ferocity, charged at them.

Zheng--!

Zoro's lips curved slightly upwards. He drew his swords first and lunged forward with a single step, meeting the charging Fish-Men.

"Don't bother small fry."

Zoro's dual blades emitted a chilling glint. In the blink of an eye, he appeared before the Fish-Men, and a flurry of swordplay ensued.

Ching! Ching! Ching!

"Ugh!"

In an instant, the leading Fish-Men fell bleeding into the dirt.

"Bastard, what did you do!"

Arlong gritted his teeth and roared in a low voice, "How dare you injure my countrymen..."

He was an extreme racist. In his heart, humans were nothing but lowly, inferior beings, and only his own kind mattered above all else.

"These guys aren't small fry. Don't let our brothers waste their lives for nothing."

"Chuu, Kuroobi, you two go!"

"Yes, Boss Arlong!"

As the words fell, several cadres stepped out and approached them.

The Fish-Man known as Kuroobi was tall and burly, with long fins on his arms and two topknots in his hair.

"Is that... Diamond Nezha?"

Lina couldn't help but inwardly scoff as his gaze fell upon another Fish-Man.

That one was a Kiss Fish-Man, tall and slender, with long lips and a touch of blush on his cheeks.

"Nami, what do you mean by this?" the Kiss Fish-Man asked, his eyes fixed on Nami.

The topknot Fish-Man said disdainfully, "Hmph! I told you long ago this woman couldn't be trusted."

"We're here today to declare war!"

Nami glared at Arlong behind her, gritting her teeth and roaring, "Arlong, I am officially leaving you today and joining the Straw Hat Pirates!"

"Oh?"

Arlong stared at Nami with amusement, sneering, "So, they're the helpers you found, huh? Just them?"

"Hahaha, don't make me laugh, Nami. Because of your talent, I'll give you another chance. As long as you continue to draw sea charts for me, I can overlook past grievances and spare you."

"Draw sea charts for you? ...Heh."

Nami lowered her head and let out a dark, cold snort. Her expression gradually turned ferocious as she looked up and roared:

"I dream of killing you!"

"Arlong!!!"

"If that's the case, then you'll all die here!"

Arlong grinned sinisterly and stood up. He reached out, uprooted the lounge chair fixed to the ground, and threw it forcefully at them.

"Boss Arlong is going to make a move himself?"

"These humans brought this upon themselves."

Lina had already summoned his three powerful undead subordinates. The Blade Devil raised its hand and sliced the incoming iron chair in two.

Luffy leaped out from within and charged towards Arlong.

"How dare you lot make Boss Arlong make a move?"

Just as Kuroobi and Chuu were about to act, the Chainsaw Devil and Wolverine intercepted them.

"What the hell are these things!?"

"What kind of strange race is this?"

"No, cyborgs?"

Kuroobi and Chuu looked at the two undead that had suddenly appeared. Even they, who had traveled the Grand Line, were somewhat astonished.

Meanwhile, Luffy had already reached Arlong, his arm stretching backward.

"Gomu Gomu Pistol!"

Luffy's furious punch shot out, catching Arlong completely off guard. He was smashed in the face and sent flying backward, crashing heavily into the wall before sliding down like a puddle of mud.

"Boss Arlong!!"

"His arm stretched!"

Arlong got to his feet, his brow furrowed. He raised a hand to wipe a trickle of blood from the corner of his mouth. "Devil Fruit user? It seems I underestimated you."

"However..."

"Don't think you're invincible just because you have a Devil Fruit!!"

Before he finished speaking, Arlong charged at Luffy. He dodged Luffy's punch, ducked down, and threw a heavy blow towards Luffy's abdomen.

Luffy, however, didn't dodge. He retracted his arm, clenched his fist, and punched Arlong's face.

"Rocket!"

Arlong's cheek was so contorted by the punch that the flesh bunched together. His head slammed heavily onto the ground.

The ground instantly cracked, creating a deep crater.

At the same time, Luffy was also sent flying by Arlong's attack. However, he was a Rubber Person; ordinary blows had no effect on him.

This was also why he chose to trade blows. It had to be said, Luffy's fighting talent was truly top-tier.

"...Cough... cough..."

Arlong spat out a mouthful of blood. Seeing Luffy pressing the attack, he propped himself up with one hand on the ground and dipped the other into a nearby pool to get some water.

"Water Shot!"

"What!"

A giant water droplet instantly appeared before Luffy, knocking him away.

Meanwhile, Arlong realized that his attacks were ineffective against Luffy and ran into the room to retrieve his serrated sword.

The scene shifted back to Lina's side. Zoro had already engaged Chuu, while Kuroobi was being suppressed by Lina's Blade Devil.

The remaining Chainsaw Devil and Wolverine were continuously mowing down the attacking Fish-Men.

As for Nami and Usopp...

"Nicely done!"

"Go!"

The two were hiding behind a wall, cheering them on. Lina was with them, of course.

"If this momentum continues, we'll definitely win!"

Nami couldn't stop smiling as she watched the situation on the battlefield.

She never imagined that Luffy alone could fight Arlong to a standstill.

"It's about time."

Lina rejoiced inwardly as he looked at the kill count of his two undead.

He began to constantly move around the battlefield, 'looting corpses'.

I hope Luffy keeps fighting for a while longer. Otherwise, if these Fish-Men scatter and escape into the sea, they'll be hard to catch.

Lina couldn't help but think. This was also why he hadn't sent his undead to finish off Arlong directly.

As long as Arlong hadn't been defeated, these Fish-Men wouldn't lose their fighting spirit.

This way, he would have a continuous supply of undead to collect.

He had even deliberately told the Chainsaw Devil and the other one to hold back their attacks. Otherwise, these Fish-Men would probably have lost their courage after just a few exchanges.

He was basically fishing here.

"What are you doing to my comrades, you guy!"

A deep, booming voice sounded from behind him.

Discovered?

Lina turned his head and saw an octopus Fish-Man with six arms, carrying a large water tank, staring at him.

"Hachi?" Lina blurted out subconsciously.

"Huh? You know me?"

"No, no! What are you doing to my comrades, you guy!"

Hachi glared at Lina, seeing his fallen comrade in front of him.

He had been sent to pick up a Marine who looked like a rat. After waiting on shore for a long time without anyone showing up, he couldn't help but come ashore to check. To his surprise, the Marine Arlong had asked him to pick up was already dead.

Seeing this, Hachi immediately returned to report to Arlong. He never expected to witness such a tragic scene.

It was no exaggeration to describe it as bodies strewn everywhere.

"Hachi, you're back!"

"Great, come help quickly!"

At this moment, several Fish-Men saw Hachi and hurriedly shouted.

Lina pointed at two undead who were chopping fish and gestured to Hachi, "Your companions, they were killed by those two. I don't know them."

"Huh? Is that so? I'm sorry for misunderstanding you."

"Ah, it's fine. Go find them and settle the score quickly."

"You two bastards, taste my Six Sword Style!"

Hachi drew six swords and turned to charge at the two undead.

No wonder in the original story, Zoro cut down a bunch of Fish-Men, and Hachi was still able to carry Zoro to Cocoyasi Village.

"So easily fooled."

The moment Hachi turned around, Lina directly aimed his gun at his back.

He didn't want to get involved with the undead for now, so he wanted to avoid using his abilities in front of others as much as possible.

Taking a shot from the shadows was definitely the best option.

Yes, I'm despicable, I'm a scoundrel, and that's fine!

Lina pulled the trigger without hesitation.

"Bang--!"
