After the smoke and dust dispersed, Arlong stood up in disgrace. His condition was very poor, the floral shirt on his body and the brown dome hat on his head were also in pieces, and blood was flowing from his forehead.
He stuck out his tongue and licked the blood flowing down his cheek, and then laughed exaggeratedly, "Haha, you are nothing special. Devil Fruit User's weakness is indeed irreparable. Just a little bit of sea water can make you so miserable. It's ridiculous."
"Yeah, I'm laughing so hard..." Buggy touched a few small wounds on his body that were broken by Water Shot. The pain was not very painful, but there was an uncomfortable feeling after being hit by the sea water.
"Just keep showing off!" Arlong sneered, then jumped into the pool with a "plop" sound, and the figure disappeared again.
After a while, Arlong was nowhere to be seen.
Buggy's eyes couldn't help but fall on Shuma, who was carrying the unconscious Mikuru and fighting with each other, and reminded loudly, "Hey, Shuma!"
Just as he finished speaking, Arlong's sharp figure jumped out of the water, and his whole body rushed straight towards Shuma like a sharp sword.
Shuma's movements were originally very flexible, but now he was dragging an unconscious Mikuru, and his figure was a lot slower. He was being pestered by Water Shot who was firing one after another. Even if he felt the wind behind him, he was in a hurry and couldn't avoid it, so he could only turn his body slightly sideways.
A sharp thorn from Arlong instantly opened a slender bloody gash in Shuma's defenseless waist. His body continued to fly upwards with the inertia, and the water in his hands was suddenly thrown towards Shuma, knocking him down mercilessly into the sea water.
"Hahaha--"
In Arlong's proud laughter, Buggy's eyes were heavy, and then Tempest Kick was launched, a slashing air flow kicked towards Chiu who was slightly slack and exhausted.
Chiu's steps were unsteady, and his body stagnated for a moment before being blown into the pool by the ensuing airflow.
"..."
Arlong's laughter stopped suddenly, and his body rolled in the air and landed on the ground. He realized that if he couldn't get rid of the Red Nose pirate in front of him, it would be useless to do anything else.
"Sea water, just some more sea water can send you to hell!"
As he spoke, Arlong's lavender skin slowly secreted water droplets with a fishy salty smell, "Fish-Man can capture the moisture in the air with his hands, and he can also 'capture' some sea water with his body in the sea. Next, I will let you know the differences between races!!"
Hundreds of water droplets shot out from the seawater in his palm, blocking Buggy's direction of action, and he quickly sprinted over.
Buggy controlled the sand-like body to quickly spin around, turning into a terrifying human body whirlwind, sucking in several meters of rainwater around it, and released it forward in the next moment, forming a rain barrier to slow down the force of the incoming Water Shot.
"It's useless, it's useless."
The shock of Buggy's whole body splitting into such a small level of thoughts just flashed through Arlong's mind. His figure rushed through the barrier with the water droplets in an instant, and his hands stained with seawater grabbed the fine pieces of flesh in the air.
Just as the minced meat was about to be squeezed into the palm of his hand, a few tiny particles in the rainwater on the right side suddenly formed a leg, and a leg whip suddenly hit Arlong's temple.
Arlong's body was blasted towards the high-rise building in the square like a shell.
Boom!!
The ceiling in the building collapsed, the stone walls crashed down, and dust washed down.
Buggy reunited all the parts of the body. Although the active sanding will consume a lot of physical strength, the pressure brought by the sea water will be weakened a lot.
There was no movement in the house for a long time, but a faint streak of blood could be seen on the surface of the pool in the square, and I didn't know whose blood it was...
Finally, a figure walked out of the collapsed area of the building, holding a huge saw "Kiribachi" in his hand.
"It's really durable."
Buggy said silently in his heart.
Compared with Kuro, who is as agile as an assassin, Arlong is more like a tank with thick health and high defense. This is indeed the case in the original book. Kuro only took a few blows from Luffy, but his fragile body could not withstand the blows, while Arlong let Luffy hit several sets of combo punches, and it seemed like nothing was wrong.
In this environment where survival is greater than output, tanks are better than assassins.
Arlong held Kiribachi with both hands and rushed towards Buggy. It seemed that because of his rage, he no longer cared whether this weapon was effective on the opponent, and just wanted to vent his inner riot and hatred and destroy everything in front of him.
Outside the wall of Arlong Park, an orange-haired girl leaned against the wall with her slender feet leaning on the ground. She lowered her head slightly. There was not much joy on her face, nor did she show any nervousness about the fighting situation in the square. There was like an invisible barrier between the surrounding villagers and her, which had no impact on her at all.
The sound of footsteps came over, and the swordsman with his hair covering half of his face came over and stopped in front of her, dragging the lifeless octopus Fish-Man in his hand.
"You are Nami..."
Nami raised his eyes and looked at the swordsman in front of him silently.
Cabaji said calmly, "Captain Buggy The purpose of coming here seems to be you, but I don't see anything worthy of praise in you. Although we are indeed short of navigators, I don't see any signs of wanting to become one of us."
"How could it be..." Nami forced a smile and hurriedly defended, "Captain Buggy is willing to help us... defeat Arlong. Each of us is very grateful. He is a hero. As long as this Arlong Empire is destroyed, I... will definitely agree to his request."
"It's really not pertinent." Cabaji said no more and walked over to Nami. Although he initially planned to use the capture of Fish-Man as a bargaining chip in exchange, the battle has progressed to such an intense level that this half-dead character Fish-Man seems to have no use value.
His eyes stopped in the square, and he saw a wet boy crawling out from the edge of the pool. He was carrying a girl who kept choking on the water on his back. He made it to the shore with some difficulty, breathing heavily.
This battle also had a winner.
Arlong Park The red flag representing blood and the black pirate flag representing violence and shadow became blurred in the gradually falling rain and the mist blowing from the sea, but suddenly accelerated several times along with the vibrations below.
Arlong furiously waved Kiribachi, chasing Buggy everywhere to destroy the entire square. He had lost his mind. He waved one hand to hold a huge saw and slashed horizontally. The other hand came one after another, and the small pool of sea water accumulated like a shotgun and fired at him.
There are traces of cracks on the ground everywhere, and the dense cracks are like spider webs that are constantly extending.
In the original book, Arlong seems to have never made such a move... Yes, it should be that this annoying heavy rain has added a big "buff" to the opponent...
Buggy stepped back tens of meters with his feet on the ground. He immediately used Life Return to accumulate strength in his abdomen, and suddenly swung his lower body apart quickly, catching bullet-like water droplets flying in the air. After breaking a few bloody holes on his thighs, he sprinted even faster.
"Tempest Kick. Pancake Charge!!"
When the rotating lower body was about to approach Arlong, it suddenly shot out a slashing airflow. Accelerated by centrifugal force, the slashing airflow was two or three times faster than usual. It picked up the surrounding raindrops and hit Arlong's chest, which was caught off guard.
Phew!!
The blood bloomed, and this time it actually broke Arlong's skin, leaving a slender wound of nearly half a meter on his chest and abdomen.
If an ordinary person were injured to this extent, they would probably be seriously injured and not have enough energy to move even if they didn't die.
But after all, the opponent was the East Blue overlord. His body with wounds was pushed back more than ten meters, and then he rushed back like a hyena, like a trapped animal in a cage, struggling before death.
The hand covered with seawater tightly grasped the leg of Buggy that was left in the air before it could fly back, and bit down hard with its sharp teeth.
The severe pain in his calf could still be clearly passed into his mind. Buggy groaned, and the other uncontrolled foot separated from the lower body again, and was suddenly raised high in the air, hitting Arlong's head that refused to let go, releasing all the strength of his body.
Boom!!!
The huge sound was like thunder on the ground. Everyone present was startled. The surroundings were filled with dust and their vision was unclear.
After the rain washed away the smoke and dust, we could finally see a huge circular pit about three meters deep with Arlong as the center, extending outward in a semicircle.
The proud nose of Arlong in the center of the circular pit was broken by an external force. He struggled to hold his hands on the ground, but he could no longer stand up helplessly. His body was swaying against the ground, and he didn't even have the strength to turn over.
"Arlong... defeated..."
"Captain Buggy won..."
"We are finally free. Can we no longer have to pay heavy taxes..."
The terrifying image of Arlong and the now powerless body formed a strong visual effect, constantly impacting the hearts of the villagers of Cocoyasi Village. They rubbed their eyes, even though they were expecting in their hearts, but after seeing this scene, they couldn't believe it.
Buggy retracted his lower body and walked towards Arlong.
After merging with the body, the pain on the feet was directly transmitted to the brain, and this battle lasted for a long time.
"Nami..."
His eyes fell on the orange-haired girl standing in a daze at the gate. Although it was only the first time he saw this navigator who was originally Straw Hat Pirates, the only person with such an appearance could only be Nami.
The upper body is wearing a light green spotted tank top, and the lower body is wearing three-quarter tights. Under the dark sky, the whiteness of the ankles is more obvious, but compared with this rather sexy clothes, the look of shock on the face that cannot be recovered for a long time is out of place.
Buggy was not in a hurry to deal with Arlong. Instead, he kicked an iron knife on the ground in front of Nami.
"Give you a chance to take revenge with your own hands. What can be more satisfying than killing your enemy with your own hands?"
Nami trembled slightly, picked up the iron knife on the ground, held it with both hands, and walked towards Arlong with hatred... It was this man who killed Bell-mère, causing the whole village to fall into panic and overwhelmed with taxes. He even dreamed of killing this man, the man who had brought him eight years of hell!
She raised the knife, raised it above her neck, pointed the sharp edge of the knife towards Arlong, who had only the last bit of consciousness left, and stabbed with all her strength.
Arlong Park flashed a white light.
Boom, thunder...
The tip of the knife was inserted into the stone ground next to Arlong's body.
Nami sat weakly on his knees, with tears falling, and murmured in a low voice, "I can't do it, Arlong destroyed my village, but if I kill him, wouldn't I become as cruel a person as him? I don't want to be such a person..."
Buggy looked at Nami and remained silent. This is really a unique pirate and thief.
He picked up the iron knife on the ground with his feet and held it in his hand. It was a good thing to stick to one's nature, but overdoing it was another matter.
The light of the knife lit up in the rain, and it pierced Arlong's back heart without any bias, and pierced the ground. Blood flowed out of Arlong's chest, accumulating along the ground and forming a blood puddle.
Arlong's eyes gradually lost their color and turned gray.
"Okay..."
Buggy opened his arms and shouted to everyone in front of him, "You, from now on, are liberated and free!!"
"Free..."
"Liberated..."
At the moment when Arlong died, the big stone of nervousness, sorrow and hope in everyone's heart finally fell to the ground. They raised their arms and shouted, "We are finally free from the rule of Arlong!!"
There were cheers and cheers one after another. Arlong Park's high-rise building did not collapse, and the flag on the roof was still fluttering in the wind. However, Arlong, as the spiritual leader, lost his life at this moment and died completely...
Arlong Empire, already exists in name only!!
Amid the cheers of the crowd, Cabaji walked over, holding the panicked naval officer in his hand, "Captain Buggy, what should I do with this Nezumi?"
"Hey, we meet again, old buddy." Buggy raised his eyes and looked at Captain Nezumi, and said with a smile without caring much.
"Buggy, Captain Buggy... Hey, hehe..." Nezumi smiled awkwardly. He originally thought that the two pirate groups would be defeated and he would take the opportunity to make a mistake, but who knew that the situation on the scene was very different from what he imagined...
Buggy said, "Take him and those Fish-Man into custody together. As for what to do, let them handle it themselves."
He looked up at the sky... it would be sunny soon.
