Despicable? Yes, That's Me!

"Nami, what are you doing?!"

"We're talking to you, you bastards!"

"Lowly humans dare ignore us?!"

The fish-men could not help but reveal angry expressions.

Ever since they had arrived in the East Blue,

they had never seen anyone this arrogant!

"Get them! Take them down!"

Several nearby fish-men charged at them with vicious looks on their faces.

Clang—!

Zoro's lips curled slightly as he drew his swords first, dashing toward the fish-men in a single step.

"Small fry shouldn't come and bother us."

The two swords in Zoro's hands gave off chilling gleams. In the blink of an eye, he appeared before the fish-men, and a flurry of blade flashes swept past.

Slash! Slash! Slash!

"Argh!"

In an instant, the leading fish-men collapsed into pools of blood.

"Bastard, what did you do to them?!"

Arlong gritted his teeth and growled, "You dare wound my brethren?"

He was an extreme racist. In his eyes, humans were nothing but lowly, inferior creatures, while his fellow fish-men stood above all else.

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

"Chuu, Kuroobi, you go!"

"Yes, Boss Arlong!"

As soon as he spoke, several officers stepped forward and came before them.

The fish-man called Kuroobi was huge, with long fins on his arms. He wore his hair in two buns, with a long braid trailing behind him.

Is that Vajra Nezha? Reiner's gaze shifted to another fish-man.

He was a Kissing Fish-man, tall and skinny, with long lips and a touch of blush on his cheeks.

"Nami, what is the meaning of this?" The Kissing Fish-man fixed Nami with an unfriendly stare.

The fish-man with the buns snorted disdainfully. "Hmph! I told you long ago that this woman couldn't be trusted."

"We came here today to declare war!"

Nami glared at Arlong behind them and shouted through gritted teeth, "Arlong, today I'm officially leaving you and joining the Straw Hat Crew!"

"Oh?"

Arlong stared at Nami with amused interest and sneered, "So they're the helpers you found? These people?"

"Hahaha, don't make me laugh, Nami. For the sake of your talent, I'll give you one more chance. As long as you keep drawing sea charts for me, I can forgive the past."

"Heh. Draw sea charts for you?"

Nami raised her darkened face, remembering how she had spent endless days and nights making sea charts for him in that cramped, gloomy, suffocating map room. Her expression gradually twisted as she roared at Arlong:

"I dream of nothing more than seeing you dead!"

"Arlong!!!"

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

Arlong rose with a vicious grin, yanking the lounge chair rooted to the ground free before hurling it at them with all his strength.

"Boss Arlong is taking action himself?"

"These humans brought this upon themselves."

Reiner had summoned his three powerful undead long ago. The Sword Devil raised a hand and chopped the flying iron chair in half.

Luffy leaped through the gap and charged at Arlong.

"You think the likes of you are worthy of making Boss Arlong fight?"

Just as Kuroobi and Chuu were about to move, the Chainsaw Devil and Vajra Nezha blocked them.

"What the hell are those things?!"

"What kind of strange race is this?"

"No... cyborgs?"

Kuroobi and Chuu stared at the two undead that had suddenly appeared. Even having traveled the Grand Line, they were stunned.

By then, Luffy had already reached Arlong. His arm stretched back, then snapped forward as he lashed it at Arlong.

Gum-Gum Pistol!

Luffy's rage-filled fist shot out. Caught off guard, Arlong took the punch square in the face and was sent flying into the wall, where he slid down like putty.

"Boss Arlong!!"

"His arm stretched!"

Arlong got to his feet, frowning deeply as he wiped a trace of blood from the corner of his mouth. "A Devil Fruit User? Looks like I underestimated you."

"But..."

"Don't think having a Devil Fruit makes you invincible!!"

Before he finished speaking, Arlong rushed at Luffy. He dodged Luffy's punch, ducked low, and drove a heavy fist into Luffy's abdomen.

But Luffy neither dodged nor blocked. His recoiling arm clenched into a fist and slammed into Arlong's face.

"Bazooka!"

Arlong's cheek was smashed so hard that the flesh twisted together, and his head slammed heavily into the ground.

The impact instantly cracked the floor and blasted out a deep crater.

At the same time, Luffy was sent flying by Arlong's punch. However, he was a Rubber Man, and ordinary blows had no effect on him.

That was why he had chosen to trade blows. It had to be said that Luffy's fighting talent was truly top-notch.

"...Cough. Cough."

Arlong spat out blood. Seeing Luffy close in, he braced one hand against the ground and plunged the other into the pool.

"Water Shot!"

"What?!"

A massive droplet of water instantly appeared before Luffy and blasted the startled boy away.

At the same time, Arlong realized that strikes had little effect on Luffy. He ran into the room to retrieve his serrated sword.

Back on Reiner's side, Zoro had already engaged Chuu, while Kuroobi was being suppressed by Reiner's Sword Devil.

Meanwhile, the Chainsaw Devil and Vajra Nezha relentlessly harvested the fish-men charging at them.

As for Nami and Usopp—

"Nice!"

"Charge!"

The two were hiding behind the wall and cheering them on, along with Reiner, of course.

"At this rate, we'll definitely win!"

Nami watched the battle, unable to suppress the smile on her lips.

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

"It's about time."

Reiner was delighted as he looked at the two undead's results.

He began wandering through the battlefield, constantly looting corpses.

I hope Luffy keeps fighting for a while longer. If these fish-men scatter and dive into the sea to escape, they'll be hard to catch.

Reiner could not help thinking this. It was also why he had not sent all the undead in to take down Arlong directly.

As long as Arlong had not fallen, these fish-men would not lose their fighting spirit.

That meant he could keep adding undead without end.

He had even deliberately made the Chainsaw Devil and Vajra Nezha hold back. Otherwise, these fish-men probably would not have dared to charge after just a few exchanges.

He was basically fishing for them here.

"What are you doing to my companions?!"

A deep, muffled voice sounded behind him.

I've been discovered?

Reiner turned and saw an octopus fish-man with six arms, carrying a huge water tank on his back, staring at him.

"Hatchan?" Reiner blurted out instinctively.

"Huh? You know me?"

"No, no! What are you doing to my companions?!"

Hatchan angrily looked at his fallen brethren lying before Reiner.

He had been sent to pick up a Marine who looked like a rat, but after waiting on shore for a long time without seeing anyone, he had gone ashore to take a look. The Marine Arlong had sent him to fetch was already dead.

Hatchan had immediately returned to report to Arlong, only to witness this horrific scene.

Calling it a field littered with corpses would not have been an exaggeration.

"Hatchan, you're back!"

"Great, hurry and help us!"

Several fish-men spotted Hatchan and hurriedly called out to him.

Reiner pointed at the two undead who were cutting down fish-men and gestured to Hatchan. "Your companions? Those two did all this. I don't know them."

"Huh, is that so? Sorry, I misunderstood you."

"Ah, it's fine. Go settle the score with them."

"You two bastards, take my Six-Sword Style!"

Hatchan drew six swords, turned, and charged at the two undead.

No wonder Zoro had cut down so many fish-men in the original story, yet Hatchan could still carry Zoro to Cocoyasi Village.

"He's so easy to fool."

The instant Hatchan turned around, Reiner raised his gun and aimed at his back.

For the time being, he did not want to be associated with the undead, so he had to avoid using his ability in front of everyone as much as possible.

If he could shoot someone in the back, that was naturally best.

That's right, I'm shameless. I'm despicable!

Reiner pulled the trigger without hesitation.

Bang—!
