Arlong Pirates

Cocoyasi Village

This was a very peaceful and quiet little village, inhabited by a group of simple villagers.

Knowing they were a burden to Nami, they treated her with harsh words and cold remarks, hoping she would abandon them and embark on a path of freedom. They never wanted to be a little girl's burden.

They only hoped that this gentle and kind girl in their hearts could gain true freedom and be treated with tenderness.

They were all a group of lovely people. They couldn't resist the oppression of the Arlong Pirates, nor could they change the stubborn Nami. They could only use this method to make Nami give up on them, so she could leave this place with peace of mind.

Nami steered the boat and stepped ashore with a small bag. Rodney didn't go with her, but chose another way to sneak in.

Mainly to avoid implicating the people in the village, this was what they had agreed upon.

In the sea, stimulating Chakra, Rodney sped through the water like a cannonball.

Wave Riding Strike!

In order to stay in the water for a long time, Wave Riding Strike came with a special breathing method that could greatly extend the time he could hold his breath underwater.

From a few minutes, it was extended to half an hour, but if he exercised vigorously, the time would be greatly reduced.

The scenery of the shallow sea was very good, and the sunlight shone through the seawater, making the scenery pleasant.

A group of swimming fish were startled by him and fled, but then they scrambled to swim past him.

Rodney:??

Could there be predators behind him?

Looking back, he was startled. A Sea King with a cow's head stared at him with big eyes, wearing a nose ring, and its body was huge, much larger than ordinary Sea Kings, close to a hundred meters.

It looked at him blankly.

It didn't seem to be threatening...

Just as he was thinking this, the cow Sea King opposite him opened its mouth wide, and a bloody maw full of fangs bit at him.

Rodney: "..."

Damn it, take back my previous statement!

He hurriedly accelerated. Whether it was Taijutsu or Ninjutsu, it would be greatly reduced in the water, and Water Release was directly useless. He accelerated towards the surface of the sea.

Poof!

Like a dolphin, he broke out of the water and ran wildly on the surface of the water. That cow Sea King also broke out of the water, and with the buoyancy of the sea water, it stood upright, its snow-white teeth were extremely sharp, intertwined with each other, and pounced towards Rodney.

"Bastard! Did you think I would be a weakling like I was in the water? Die!" He raised a foot and kicked the cow Sea King up.

Boom!

The cow Sea King fell down and smashed onto the sea, setting off waves tens of meters high.

This was a near-sea area, and such a big commotion was immediately noticed by the nearby Arlong Pirates.

Two Fish-men saw the Sea King lying on the street and Rodney on the water. One went to report to their boss, and the other swam towards him.

The Fish-man's speed was much faster than Rodney's using Wave Riding Strike in the water. Rodney didn't notice it, but quickly ran towards the shore.

He didn't care whether the infiltration had failed or not. If it really didn't work, he would kill all the insiders, which could also be considered a perfect infiltration.

Anyway, no one would know.

The speed of movement on the sea surface was faster. Suddenly, a Fish-man with red skin rushed out of the sea and pounced towards him.

He hurriedly dodged.

The Fish-man re-entered the sea, then poked his head out and asked, "Intruder, who are you? Why can you walk on the water?"

"Who cares who I am? Who are you?"

The Fish-man showed a proud expression, "Listen up, this great one is a member of the Arlong Pirates, Green! You haven't answered this great one's question yet."

"Never heard of you, you should be a bit player, right?" Rodney said.

"Human, this great one is a member of the Arlong Pirates, how can you not know such a powerful pirate group? Oh, well, our Arlong Empire is still under construction, so it's normal not to know, but since you've broken into the Arlong Pirates' territory, have you paid the protection fee?" After Green finished speaking, he saw a size forty-two face magnified in his eyes.

Bang!

His size fifty-eight face made intimate contact with the size forty-two foot, and the heavy blow made his head ache.

But a heavy blow that could shatter the skull of an adult was only relatively painful to a Fish-man with a strong body. Green was kicked into the seabed, rubbing his face, "Ouch, ouch, it hurts! This human's strength is really great!"

He took a deep breath of seawater, and the gills on his neck filtered the air in the seawater. Enduring the pain, he swam towards Rodney on the sea again.

The two of them, one above and one below, started a race on the sea and in the sea. Green didn't believe that he, a Fish-man, would lose to a human.

Then... he landed on the shore.

On the soft beach, a string of footprints was left, entering the jungle.

Following the footprints, Green ran over. At the moment he rushed into the jungle, something seemed to have been broken by him.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

Several Kunai flew out and pierced his body.

"Ah!" He screamed in pain.

Rodney, in the tree, seized the opportunity and immediately threw a Kunai stuck with an Explosive Tag, accurately hitting Green's mouth.

"Explode!"

Explosive Tags can be controlled manually. You only need to inject Chakra into it to control its explosion time, or it can be triggered like a landmine, which is especially convenient.

With a boom, Green's head was gone, flesh and blood flew everywhere, and a strong body fell to the ground, with bright red blood gushing out, staining the ground red.

Rodney used the Transformation Technique to turn into Green's appearance, making it easier to enter the Arlong Pirates and avoid causing trouble for Nami and the others.

As for the corpse, he ignored it.

He hadn't walked far when he encountered an ordinary villager doing farm work. Just as he was about to ask where the Arlong Pirates were, the villager was so frightened that he ran away.

Fish-men are like monsters to humans, and they are monsters that bully them, so naturally they would run.

"Tsk, I actually forgot to use the Sharingan to ask for the exact location of the Arlong Pirates." He shook his head, feeling frustrated. Just as he was about to undo the Transformation Technique and ask for the location, he saw a fish-man walking over from a distance.

"Hey, Green, what about that human we found? Didn't you catch him?" the fish-man asked.

Great, a pillow when you're falling asleep!

Imitating Green's voice, he said, "That guy was caught by me and drowned in the sea. Humans are really vulnerable."

Hearing this, the fish-man smiled and said, "Yes, yes, we fish-men are a race superior to humans. How can that vulnerable race compare to us fish-men?"

Rodney curled his lips. These guys were probably brainwashed by Arlong too much. They didn't even think about who was beaten to tears by that guy Kizaru. If it wasn't for the end of his shift, Arlong would have been finished.

But on the surface, he still had to deal with him, and smiled triumphantly: "That's right, humans are fragile and should be ruled by us fish-men from birth. Those guys who want to coexist peacefully with humans are simply wishful thinking!"

"Hmph, that's for sure, let's go, Arlong is still waiting for you to report the situation, let's go!"

The fish-man patted Rodney on the shoulder and left with him arm in arm.

Arlong Park

The architectural style here is Arlong's imitation of the amusement parks of the Sabaody Archipelago, which shows that although this guy says he despises humans, he actually yearns for the human living environment.

The bottom of the gate is not a road, but a waterway connecting to the sea, which extends into the courtyard. In the courtyard, there are three swimming pools connected to this waterway, allowing members of the Arlong Pirates to enter the sea as quickly as possible.

After all, it is a pirate crew of fish-men who do not need to travel by land at all. If it weren't too tiring to travel, they wouldn't even need ships to leave here. As long as they are careful, they can even enter the sea area of the Calm Belt, it is that convenient.

He jumped into the sea with the fish-man, held his breath, passed through the gate, entered the pool, and then jumped onto the land.

Sitting directly opposite was a purple sawfish fish-man with a jagged long nose. He was wearing a yellow floral shirt, with his chest open, and a red sun symbol representing the Sun Pirates tattooed on his left chest, while the symbol of the Arlong Pirates was tattooed on his left forearm.

Wearing gold and silver, he looked like a nouveau riche.

The boss of the Arlong Pirates, Arlong!
