The End of Arlong and the Arlong Empire!

"I shall call this move the Mirror of Heart Door!"

A faint smile appeared on the corner of Natsuya's mouth.

The glasses on the bridge of his nose added a touch of elegance to his appearance.

But clearly, these were no ordinary glasses.

They were the result of Natsuya refining and improving his Door-Door Fruit ability to eavesdrop on the heart!

The previous ability to open the heart and eavesdrop had quite a few flaws.

Based on those shortcomings, Natsuya had developed this move: the Mirror of Heart Door.

The principle behind the Mirror of Heart Door was simple; it was merely condensing a massive amount of Door-Door Fruit power to form a portal capable of peering into the mind.

In this way, Natsuya no longer needed to deliberately touch his targets, nor did he have to worry about being overwhelmed by too many voices, as he could now control his eavesdropping ability at will in this state.

Most importantly, Natsuya could now freely master the duration of his eavesdropping!

In short, whenever he wanted to eavesdrop, he simply poured more power into the Mirror of Heart Door.

Since the Mirror of Heart Door was on his person, controlling the timing was naturally far more precise.

As Natsuya shifted his focus, the Mirror of Heart Door immediately activated.

A faint shimmer flashed across the two lenses.

In that instant, the inner thoughts of Arlong and his crew surfaced in Natsuya's mind.

Damn it, why is this guy's ability so bizarre!

This guy is too troublesome!

Is a one-hundred-million bounty really that strong!

Natsuya smiled slightly.

Without a doubt, the Mirror of Heart Door was a success.

If it were before, he could never have developed such a move all at once.

It was only because he had been opening the heart so frequently these past few days that practice made perfect, and by combining his own discoveries, he had finally succeeded.

With this success, Natsuya could naturally fight with even more ease, and he could also let loose!

"Finger Pistol!!"

"Tempest Kick!!"

"Iron Body, Fist!!"

The Fish-Men surrounding Natsuya began to fall like wheat being harvested.

Nami was once again filled with shock.

Even officers like Kuroobi and Chew couldn't last more than a few moves before falling one after another!

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Amidst the thunderous sounds, many Fish-Men were sent flying backward.

The nearby Arlong Empire buildings were immediately caught in the crossfire, crumbling in large sections.

"Bastard!!"

"What have you done to my comrades!"

"Shark Gear!!!"

Seeing Kuroobi and the others fall one after another, Arlong's eyes turned bloodshot. He let out a roar and twisted his body violently, charging toward Natsuya.

His body spun like a top, his sharp teeth turning into a frantically rotating chainsaw.

Arlong's speed was incredible; in the blink of an eye, he was right in front of Natsuya.

Yet, all of this was seen clearly by Natsuya's Mirror of Heart Door.

Swish.

The moment Arlong crashed into him, Natsuya had already used Shave to move away.

Unable to stop his momentum, Arlong slammed headfirst into the Arlong Empire building behind where Natsuya had been standing.

With the explosive power of this move, he was practically a demolition machine, causing large swaths of the Arlong Empire buildings to collapse.

"Damn you, where are you running to!"

Seeing the damage to the Arlong Empire, Arlong grew even more furious. He pulled out his jagged greatsword, Zanfeng, from somewhere and began slashing wildly at Natsuya.

However, Natsuya remained slippery; no matter how frantic Arlong became, he couldn't touch a single hair on him.

Huff, huff, huff.

After this situation persisted for a while, Arlong became exhausted, gasping for air with his mouth wide open.

In contrast, thanks to the Gate of Rest, Natsuya still looked completely at ease.

"Natsuya, is all you can do run away!?"

"Have the guts to fight me head-on!"

Arlong cursed in a fit of exasperation.

If things continued like this, he would be exhausted to death even without Natsuya launching a single attack!

Inside the Different Dimension, Nami watched the scene in utter shock.

She had never seen Arlong in such a pathetic state!

His eyes were bloodshot, his clothes were torn, and he was gasping for air—he looked every bit like a man at the end of his rope.

And in truth, that was exactly the case.

Natsuya chuckled the moment he heard Arlong's words.

"Very well."

As soon as the words left his lips, he lunged toward Arlong.

By now, he had tested the Mirror of Heart Door enough; it was time to end this lopsided battle.

BOOM!!!

Natsuya's movement instantly whipped up a terrifying gale.

Arlong's pupils constricted.

But soon, his expression twisted into a ferocious snarl, and he swung Zanfeng to meet Natsuya head-on.

BANG! BANG! BANG!

As Natsuya grew serious, a chill ran through Arlong's heart.

Even though Natsuya's strength was barely greater than his own, he was being completely suppressed by his opponent!

His own attacks couldn't touch a hair on Natsuya, while Natsuya's strikes landed on him time and time again.

"Heh, my strength is barely greater than yours, you say?"

Natsuya couldn't help but laugh out loud upon hearing Arlong's inner thoughts.

He had originally intended not to use the Gate of Life, but since that was the case, he might as well practice with it too.

"Gate of Life, open!!"

As the words fell, a visible surge of energy erupted from Natsuya's body.

Under the agitation of this energy, his black hair stood on end, taking on the appearance of a Saiyan, and his skin turned red.

In that instant, a terrifying power was born.

Seeing Natsuya in this state, Arlong was struck with shock, and a strong sense of impending doom surged within him.

On the other side.

Genzo, Nojiko, and the others finally arrived at the Arlong Empire.

But the moment they arrived, they sensed that something was wrong.

BANG! BANG! BANG!!!

A series of deafening roars echoed from the direction of the Arlong Empire's buildings.

"What's going on!?"

"Is that Natsuya fighting Arlong and his crew!?"

"Hurry, let's go see!"

Genzo and the others immediately realized that these must be the sounds of the battle between Natsuya and Arlong.

Coming to their senses, they rushed fully into the grounds of the Arlong Empire.

However, upon entering, Genzo and the others were stunned by the scene before them.

The Fish-Men, who had always acted high and mighty and considered themselves superior, were lying scattered all over the ground.

It seemed that every single member of the Arlong Pirates had been defeated!?

No!

There was still one Fish-Man who hadn't been taken down—Arlong!

At this moment, Arlong's condition was also dire.

He was covered in blood, looking incredibly wretched, and was being suppressed by a youth in a suit!

Without a doubt, that youth in the suit was Natsuya!

After opening the Gate of Life, Arlong had absolutely no power to fight back, forced to endure a relentless beating!

This situation clearly drove Arlong into a complete frenzy.

The arrival of Genzo and the others only served to push him over the edge!

"Damn you, Natsuya!"

"And as for you lowly humans, how dare you step foot into my noble Arlong Empire!"

"Die, all of you, die!"

Arlong roared with bloodshot eyes, suddenly discarding the Zanfeng in his hands and charging toward Natsuya once more like a spinning saw-toothed top.

A smirk tugged at the corner of Natsuya's mouth as he suddenly raised his right leg and spun it in an exaggerated circle.

"Tempest Kick, Zhou Duan!!!"

A dazzling cyan light erupted from Natsuya's leg, then expanded with a thunderous boom as he completed his rotation!

A slash spanning a thousand meters was instantly generated, rippling outward like a wave of azure water.

Arlong's spinning figure came to an abrupt halt.

The massive Arlong Empire structure behind him was also swept through by the cyan light!

The next second, a horrifying scene unfolded!

A cyan line suddenly appeared across Arlong's waist, and his entire body was cleaved in two.

Immediately following, the Arlong Empire building behind him began to tilt, its upper half sliding and crashing down.

Seeing this, Genzo, Nojiko, and the others were all left completely stunned, every single one of them frozen in place.

Meanwhile, inside the Different Dimension, Nami clutched her mouth tightly as tears streamed down her face.

Arlong was finished!

The Arlong Empire was finished, too!!
