"Instead of using a blade to hurt yourself, use a gun to prove yourself."

Wang Shi grabbed Nami's right hand, snatched the blood-stained dagger from her, and tossed it aside.

Amidst Nami's stubborn gaze, a Golden Flintlock suddenly appeared in her hand.

"Come, let me teach you how to kill fish."

Wang Shi pulled Nami close, wrapping his right hand over her hand that held the gun.

"Raise your arm, pull the trigger..."

Wang Shi guided Nami's finger and fired directly.

With a 'bang', a Fish-Man suddenly appeared, only to collapse instantly at the sound of the shot.

Under the immense power of the Golden Flintlock, the force of the headshot combined with the momentum of the Fish-Man's charge caused him to fall in a grotesque posture.

Blood flowed slowly across the ground.

Nami, who had been on the verge of a mental breakdown, was so stunned by her own 'feat' of killing that she remained frozen in Wang Shi's arms, unable to move.

She had killed someone?

She had killed a Fish-Man with her own hands!

"See? Instead of letting mental anguish torture you, it's better to go mad and kill your enemies."

Watching Nami quiet down, Wang Shi spoke indifferently.

He then gripped Nami's hand again and adjusted their aim.

"No~"

'Bang!'

With Nami's exclamation, the Golden Flintlock fired once more.

Another Fish-Man appeared and dropped dead on the spot, blood splattering everywhere.

"Double Kill!!"

"Congratulations, you have achieved a double kill!"

Ignoring Nami's internal turmoil, Wang Shi smiled and offered his congratulations.

Nami had truly forgotten how to cry, and had even forgotten the pain in her left arm...

She kept repeating to herself that she had killed two Fish-Men.

"You said the Fish-Men killed your mother."

"Now, I am giving you a chance for revenge."

Wang Shi released the dazed Nami and walked toward Nojiko, who was in a state of shock, while reloading the weapon.

By the time Nojiko realized what was happening.

She was already being held by Wang Shi, in the exact same position as Nami had been moments before.

Nojiko felt the heavy weight of the Golden Flintlock in her hand.

"Your Majesty Wang Shi, I..."

Nojiko enjoyed the warmth and presence behind her, her voice trembling with panic.

Like Nami, she had inherited the qualities of Bell-mère and possessed a very kind heart.

They had never dared to kill anyone.

"Bang!"

But as the gunshot rang out, the trembling Nojiko gradually grew quiet.

Just as she had seen before, another Fish-Man appeared and fell to the ground.

She, too, had personally fired the gun to kill a Fish-Man.

Even if it was Wang Shi who had guided her hand to pull the trigger.

"Very well, now that you have proven yourselves, you are officially my subjects."

Wang Shi had used this method to force the sisters, Nojiko and Nami, to erase the traces of the Arlong Pirates.

Coming to her senses, Nojiko looked at Wang Shi with gratitude.

Yet, once she left the embrace of Wang Shi, she felt a sense of loss.

When she thought about how Wang Shi was a noble king high above everyone else.

Even the resilient and passionate Nojiko could not help but feel inferior, silently suppressing the feelings in her heart.

At this moment.

The fleet of the Goa Kingdom finally arrived at the territory of the 'Arlong Empire'.

Large numbers of the guard army rushed ashore in a hurry to protect their great king.

Van Augur, Eric, and the other mercenaries and bounty hunters all performed with great enthusiasm, terrified of being accused of negligence by Wang Shi.

"88 fishmen, all banished, the range of his ability is at least 200 meters..."

Van Augur looked at the dozen or so fishman corpses on the ground; the rest of the fishmen had essentially been banished by Wang Shi.

Thinking of the "Five Hundred Man Slayer" legend circulating in the Goa Kingdom.

Van Augur knew that the number of people Wang Shi could banish simultaneously was at least 500, with a range likely reaching 500 to 1,000 meters.

Judging by Wang Shi's choice to use a cannonball for takeoff just moments ago.

Wang Shi's ability range should not exceed 1,500 meters.

The mere thought that Wang Shi could banish someone from a kilometer away.

Sent a chill down Van Augur's spine.

This Devil Fruit ability was simply too outrageous.

Eric saw the vanished fishmen and those shot dead by Wang Shi, his heart filled with trepidation.

This ability was too bizarre!

There was absolutely no way to resist it.

Staying far away from Wang Shi was the only solution.

This only solidified Eric's resolve to stay far away from the Goa Kingdom and Wang Shi after this mercenary mission was over.

Currently, Wang Shi's ability range was indeed around a kilometer.

One must know that the range of Trafalgar Law's Op-Op Fruit also covered a vast area.

Not only could he lift and throw warships over a hundred meters long, but the range of his ROOM was several times the length of those ships.

Later on, he even swapped the hearts of the Straw Hat crew members from a distance and forcibly snatched the heart of Smoker from afar.

He even covered the entire Punk Hazard research facility, slicing Vergo, the facility, and the snowy mountains in one fell swoop.

The scale of that range was nothing short of terrifying.

By the time they reached Onigashima, he could even teleport Zoro, Luffy, and Kid from inside the castle, and send the Nine Red Scabbards, who had been battered by Beast Kaido, safely out of Onigashima.

In the future, Wang Shi's [Time Domain] would be no smaller than Law's ROOM Space.

Not to mention covering an entire island, reaching several thousand meters would be no problem at all.

"Your Majesty, where is the enemy? What would you like us to do next?"

Van Augur stood humbly in front of Wang Shi, bowing his head to await orders.

"Your Majesty, release those fishmen and leave them for us to finish off."

Eric actively tried to curry favor with Wang Shi, hoping to complete this mercenary mission and leave safely and quickly.

Wang Shi did not respond to the two, instead holstering his Golden Flintlock at his waist and beckoning gently with his left hand, a gesture similar to the signature move of Brother Sum of the Axe Gang.

A captain of the security forces, very tactful, handed over a magnificent golden cannon.

"Arlong's little fish nest actually dares to call itself the Arlong Empire; I am very displeased. What do you suggest we do?"

Wang Shi asked slowly while hoisting the golden cannon onto his shoulder.

"Naturally, we slaughter him."

As Wang Shi opened the golden cannon's sight and aimed toward the sea, Eric and Van Augur answered in unison.

At the same time, Van Augur decisively raised his sniper rifle, Senriku, aiming at the spot where Arlong had previously vanished, ready to act the moment Wang Shi did.

Eric also gathered his strength, his hands condensing blades of wind, likewise aimed in the direction Wang Shi and Van Augur were targeting.

"Three, two, one, fire!"

Wang Shi pulled the trigger of the golden cannon, and Van Augur followed his shot with pinpoint precision.

Eric could only unleash as many wind blades as possible to supplement the damage for Wang Shi and Van Augur.

"BOOM!"

"BANG!" x3

"Swish, swish, swish~"

Arlong, who had just reappeared on the sea surface, was struck directly by the golden cannon. The special cannonball made for the Celestial Dragons, powerful enough to blow up a small sailboat, tore Arlong's flesh to shreds.

The three sniper bullets that followed also buried themselves into Arlong's body.

The subsequent dense barrage of wind blades carved sprays of blood and waves into the sea where Arlong had been.

Nami and Nojiko watched the bizarre scene unfolding on the sea, dumbfounded.

"Fish that fishman out!"

Wang Shi tossed the golden cannon casually to the nearby security captain and issued the order to the rest of the guards.

Before long.

A lifeless, rotting fish-man was hauled up from the depths.

As expected, in this world, the lethality of firearms is nothing but Schrödinger's firepower.

When it is your time to log off, even a single shot from a flintlock is enough to kill a top-tier expert.

Powerful Haki users like Ashura Doji and Pedro were ultimately blown to pieces by mere explosives.

Kuina, who was even stronger than Zoro, was even soloed by a flight of stairs and a whetstone.
