The sky was covered with clouds, gray and hazy, and the long drizzle, which just gave people the illusion that it was about to clear up, suddenly started to fall again, and the heavy raindrops hit people's bodies, which was a bit painful.
The mud began to be full of holes, and my feet would sink in from time to time when I stepped on them. When I lifted them up again, my feet would be covered with mud.
"Momoo! Momoo!"
Octopus Hatchan was holding a huge roasted suckling pig and walking along the bank while shouting.
The roasting smell of the suckling pig had long since been chilled by the heavy rain, and the manatee Momoo, who was supposed to show up on time for the meal, seemed to be related to this reason and did not show up.
"It's weird? Why haven't you come out yet..." Hatchan looked around and suddenly saw three Fish-Man who were leaning on the rocks at the shore entrance and seemed to be unconscious. They were tightly tied together with ropes and ran towards there, "What's wrong with you?"
A thin blade that was extremely difficult to feel suddenly stretched out from the rain, and it flew quickly in a sudden white light.
Hatchan reacted quickly, picked up the roasted suckling pig in his hand and held it in front of him, stepped on the ground with his feet, and quickly backed away.
The sword light in the air blocked it and then picked it up, splitting the roasted suckling pig into two pieces.
"Dare to attack me Hatchan, you disgusting human being."
Hatchan retreated beyond the attack range of the sword light, patted his chest in fright, and then fled into the distant jungle.
The figure of Cabaji appeared in the rain, watching the other party escape with heavy eyes. Although these Fish-Man were used as baits, they successfully lured the octopus over. Unfortunately, the continuous heavy rain hindered his foolproof sneak attack and did not play its due role. According to the plan, the octopus would definitely lose its combat effectiveness after this sword attack. However, there is still a gap between reality and expectations.
"Forget it, there is no need to delay any longer. The time agreed with Captain Buggy is coming soon, so hurry up and go to Arlong Park." Cabaji dragged three Fish-Man and prepared to leave.
The wind roared behind me, and terrible air currents came from three directions!
"Paper Art!"
Cabaji's body quickly dodged along the airflow, and three heavy objects came at him one after another from top to bottom, without giving him a chance to breathe. With one blow, his body was knocked away more than ten meters away.
Cabaji quickly adjusted his body in mid-air, his feet finally stood firmly on the ground, and he wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, "It was such an unpleasant rain..."
The resistance of the heavy rain and the easily sinking ground greatly interfered with his body skills and movements, and even the strengthening and weakening of his presence in kendo were greatly affected.
Hatchan's six arms held three thick trees together and danced with great force. "Hatchan I like this rain very much! For Fish-Man, whether it is rain or sunshine, it is a happy event."
"It's really nonsense, but Octopus... you are much stronger than this ordinary Fish-Man."
"Because Hatchan I am a cadre under Arlong, so of course I will be more powerful."
"Cadre..." Cabaji's eyes flickered, "So, your value is much higher than those Fish-Man. It's just right to use you as a bargaining chip."
His feet tapped the ground lightly, and he rushed towards Hatchan faster and faster. His right hand was tightly grasped on the handle of the knife. Snowflakes fell, and white light suddenly flashed like thunder at night.
At the same time, Buggy was walking on the road dragging a bundle of Fish-Man that had lost its combat effectiveness.
After teaching a few guys who tried to resist, the Fish-Man behind them all calmed down and were dragged along the muddy ground tied with ropes.
Five, a total of five single Fish-Man were captured.
This was the loot he got after searching several nearby villages. The quantity is not very large, but if Cabaji captures a few more Fish-Man, the combined quantities will be exchanged for Mohji's chips are enough. As for Shuma, just stay there and guard the ship. If those Fish-Man scuttled the ship secretly, it would be troublesome.
The appointed time was almost here. Buggy put a hand on his forehead and looked up at the tall building vaguely scheduled in the distance. Next, all he had to do was move forward there.
Advancing along the way, bypassing the village head of Cocoyasi Village, the heavy rain still couldn't stop the bustle of people in the village. A group of villagers holding shovels and forks were stationed in the village under the command of Genzo, like generals on a battlefield, roaring and responding with arrogance. Buggy looked back indifferently at the few villagers who were not afraid of death, and continued to move forward.
After walking for about ten minutes, you can see the Arlong Park high-rise building that was previously blocked by the rain curtain now very clearly.
The red door, which symbolizes isolation and domination, comes into view. It looks a bit majestic, but in the final analysis it is just a copycat. Even if it can imitate the appearance of Sabaody Amusement Park, it cannot depict the charm.
Fish-Man, who simply only know violence, destruction and killing, can we expect them to have any unique ideas?
"Cabaji hasn't come yet?" Buggy looked around, took steps, and dragged a bundle of Fish-Man behind him towards the square gate.
He stretched out his right hand and casually pushed open the rather heavy door.
Arlong, who has a jagged nose on his face, is sitting in an exclusive seat. Kuroobi and Jiu are standing next to him, like two guardians in martial arts, which looks a bit interesting.
The Fish-Man group below kept playing in the water, full of wanton laughter.
Mohji was put on a wooden post made of a cross and placed in the pool. The two ends of the cross were tied to the stone slabs on both sides with strong ropes. His body below the chest was soaked in the water and was beaten by the surrounding Fish-Man. He looked haggard and weak.
Seawater is an insurmountable thing for those with abilities...
With the sound of the door opening, all the eyes of Fish-Man in the square focused on Buggy.
"Arlong." Buggy walked into the door, bundled Fish-Man behind him and threw it on the ground in front of him like garbage, and said unhurriedly, "This is the 100 million Beli you want."
Arlong pinched the armrest of the chair with his right hand, and with a "cluck" sound, he crushed it to pieces. He looked at Buggy from the corner of his eyes and said, "Despicable human being, what good things have you done to my lovely compatriots?"
"Oh, by the way... it doesn't seem to be worth the price. I remember that one Fish-Man is about one million Beli, and five is five million. It's not enough..."
Buggy stretched out five fingers on one hand and looked at Arlong with a half-smile. The other hand holding the dagger had already separated and was hovering in front of the neck of the bundle of Fish-Man.
He originally planned to use Fish-Man as a bargaining chip in exchange, but seeing that there were sixty or seventy Fish-Man on Arlong Park, he did not think that these few Fish-Man would allow this arrogant and extreme racist to lose face and exchange hostages with him equally.
He could feel that the contempt and hatred for human beings that Arlong emanated from his bones was far higher than the love for his companions. Just standing here for a moment, the feeling in his heart became stronger and stronger. It seemed that his previous guess was totally unworkable...
However, it seems that the other party's inherent racial superiority can be exploited.
Arlong's forehead was covered with veins. Fish-Man's being enslaved and sold had always been the scar that he, Fish-Man, who despised and hated mankind, did not want to be mentioned in his heart. At this time, Buggy opened it openly, and his anger gradually swallowed up his sanity like a ball of fire that was getting stronger and stronger. "Red Nose bastard who doesn't know how to live or die!!"
