"Nami, what are you doing!"
"I'm talking to you, you jerks!"
"Mere humans, daring to ignore us!"
The fish-men's faces twisted in anger. Since they had arrived in the East Blue, they had never encountered such arrogant people!
"Charge! Take them down!"
Several nearby fish-men, their faces contorted with ferocity, rushed towards them.
Zing—!
Zoro's lips curled into a slight smirk. He was the first to draw his swords, lunging forward to meet the fish-men.
"Minor characters shouldn't bother us."
The twin blades in Zoro's hands gleamed with a cold, sharp light. In the blink of an eye, he appeared before the fish-men, a flurry of flashing blades.
Shhh! Shhh! Shhh!
"Ugh!"
In an instant, the leading fish-men collapsed into pools of blood.
"You bastard, what did you do!" Arlong growled, gritting his teeth. "How dare you injure my brethren!"
He was an extreme racist. In his heart, humans were nothing but lowly, inferior beings; only his own kind mattered above all else.
"These guys aren't minor characters. Don't let our brothers waste their lives for nothing."
"Chuu, Kuroobi, you two go!"
"Yes, Boss Arlong!"
As his words fell, several executives stepped forward, coming before them.
The fish-man called Kuroobi was large, with long fins on his arms and two topknots, plus a long braid trailing behind him.
Is that Vajra Nezha? Reiner's gaze fell upon another fish-man. That was a Kissing Fish-man, tall and thin, with long lips and a touch of blush on his cheeks.
"Nami, what is the meaning of this?" The Kissing Fish-man's gaze, full of ill will, landed on Nami.
The topknot fish-man scoffed disdainfully. "Hmph! I told you long ago this woman couldn't be trusted."
"We are here today to declare war!"
Nami glared at Arlong behind her, gritting her teeth as she roared, "Arlong, today I officially leave you and join the Straw Hat Crew!"
"Oh?" Arlong stared at Nami with interest, teasingly saying, "So, they're the helpers you brought? Just them?"
"Hahaha, don't make me laugh, Nami. Considering your talent, I'll give you one more chance. As long as you continue to draw sea charts for me, I can forgive your past transgressions."
"Heh heh... draw sea charts for you?"
Nami lifted her grim face, recalling how she had worked day and night in that small, dark, cold, suffocating measurement room to create sea charts for him. Her expression gradually turned ferocious as she roared at Arlong:
"I've dreamed of your death!"
"ARLONG!!!"
"In that case, then all of you will die here!"
Arlong stood up with a sinister grin, reaching out and pulling the fixed lounge chair directly from the ground by its roots, throwing it forcefully towards them.
"Is Boss Arlong going to act personally?"
"These humans are getting what they deserve."
Reiner had already summoned his three powerful Undead subordinates early on. The Sword Devil raised its hand and chopped the flying iron chair into two pieces.
Luffy leaped out from behind it and charged towards Arlong.
"Do you really think you're worthy of Boss Arlong making a move?"
Kuroobi and Chuu were about to strike, but the Chainsaw Devil and Wolverine blocked their path.
"What the hell is that!?"
"Is this some strange race?"
"No, a cyborg?"
Kuroobi and Chuu stared at the two Undead that had suddenly appeared. Even though they had traveled the Grand Line, they were somewhat astonished.
At this moment, Luffy had already reached Arlong. He stretched his arm back, then rapidly retracted it, whipping it towards Arlong.
"Gum-Gum Pistol!"
Luffy's fist, brimming with anger, shot out. Arlong, caught off guard, took a direct hit to the face, instantly flying backward and slamming hard against the wall before sliding down like mud.
"Boss Arlong!!"
"His arm stretched!"
Arlong stood up, his brows furrowed, and wiped a trace of blood from the corner of his mouth. "A Devil Fruit User? Looks like I underestimated you."
"However..."
"Don't think you're invincible just because you have a Devil Fruit!!"
Before his words had even finished, Arlong charged at Luffy, dodging a punch from him, then ducked down to deliver a heavy blow to Luffy's abdomen.
However, Luffy didn't dodge. His retracted arm, with a tightly clenched fist, slammed towards Arlong's face.
"Rocket!"
Arlong's face contorted from the punch, his head hitting the ground hard...
The ground instantly cracked, forming a deep crater.
At the same time, Luffy was also sent flying by Arlong, but he was a Rubber Man; ordinary attacks had no effect on him.
This was also why he chose to exchange blows. Regardless, Luffy's fighting talent was truly top-notch.
"...Cough...cough."
Arlong spat out a mouthful of blood. Seeing Luffy pressing in, he put one hand on the ground and the other into the pool.
"Water Shot!"
"What?!"
A huge water droplet instantly appeared in front of Luffy, sending him flying in astonishment.
Meanwhile, Arlong also realized that striking Luffy had no effect, so he ran into the room to grab his serrated sword.
The scene returns to Reiner. Zoro had already engaged Chuu, while Kuroobi was suppressed by Reiner's Sword Devil.
The remaining Chainsaw Devil and Wolverine continuously cut down the surrounding Fish-men.
As for Nami and Usopp...
"Nice job!"
"Go for it!"
The two were hiding behind a wall, cheering them on, and Reiner was with them, of course.
"At this rate, we're definitely going to win!"
Nami couldn't help but smile, watching the situation on the field.
She never expected that Luffy alone could fight Arlong to a standstill.
"It's about time."
Reiner was overjoyed, looking at the battle achievements of the two Undead.
He began to constantly move around the battlefield, 'looting bodies.'
"I hope Luffy fights a bit longer. Otherwise, if these Fish-men scatter and escape into the sea, they'll be hard to catch."
Reiner couldn't help but think. This was also why he didn't send all the Undead in to take down Arlong directly.
As long as Arlong hadn't fallen, these Fish-men wouldn't lose their fighting spirit.
He would then have a continuous supply of Undead to collect.
He even intentionally had the Chainsaw Devil and the other Undead hold back a bit, otherwise, these Fish-men probably wouldn't dare to engage after a few exchanges.
He was pure fishing here.
"What are you doing to my comrades, you bastard!"
A muffled voice sounded from behind him.
Was I discovered?
Reiner turned around to see an octopus Fish-man with six arms carrying a large water tank, staring at him.
"Hatchan?" Reiner blurted out instinctively.
"Eh? Do you know me?
"No, no! What are you doing to my comrades, you bastard?!"
Hatchan angrily looked at his fallen comrades in front of Reiner.
He had been sent to pick up a Marine who looked like a mouse but waited on shore for a long time without anyone showing up.
Unable to resist, he went ashore to check, only to find the Marine Arlong told him to pick up was already dead there.
Seeing this, Hatchan immediately returned, ready to report to Arlong, but he didn't expect to see such a tragic scene.
To describe it as bodies strewn everywhere wouldn't be an exaggeration.
"Hatchan, you're back!"
"Great, hurry and help!"
At that moment, a few Fish-men saw Hatchan and quickly called out.
Reiner pointed to the two Undead currently attacking the Fish-men and gestured to Hatchan, "Those are your buddies. Those two cut them down. I don't know them."
"Huh, is that so? My apologies for misunderstanding you."
"Ah, it's fine. Go settle the score with them."
"You two bastards, face my Six-Sword Style!"
Hatchan drew six swords and turned to charge at the two Undead.
No wonder Zoro cut down a pile of Fish-men in the original story and Hatchan could still carry Zoro to Cocoyasi Village.
So easy to trick.
The moment Hatchan turned around, Reiner immediately raised his gun and aimed it at his back.
He didn't want to get involved with the Undead for now, so he needed to avoid using his abilities in front of others as much as possible.
Shooting someone in the back was definitely the best option.
Yes, I'm despicable, I'm contemptible, and I admit it!
Reiner pulled the trigger without hesitation.
"Bang—!"
