Arlong Without a Nose

Just as Ye Feng was about to swing his sword again, he heard Arlong's words. He looked at Arlong with amusement and said flatly, "Who I am isn't important. What's important is that you bullied my girlfriend for years. We should settle this debt properly, shouldn't we?"

Clutching his wound, Arlong heard that Ye Feng had come to avenge Nami and burst into laughter. "Hahahaha... Oh, so you're little Nami's boyfriend."

Then he stared at Ye Feng and continued, "Kid, you're strong, but you're still no match for me. Why don't you join my Arlong Pirates? I'll make you the vice-captain right away. I guarantee you'll have more money than you can spend, and you'll eat and drink like a king. How about it?"

Hearing Arlong try to bribe him, Ye Feng chuckled and looked at him mockingly. "You want me to join your Arlong Pirates, and you'll even make me vice-captain? Is that true?"

Hearing Ye Feng's words, Arlong thought he had a chance and hurriedly said, "Yes, that's right. So, what do you say? Will you join?"

Seeing Arlong getting excited after hearing him, Ye Feng said coldly, "Hmph! You're just a pack of beasts from the sea, and you want me to join your pirate crew? Even Jinbe wouldn't dare speak to me like that. Who the hell do you think you are?"

Arlong realized that Ye Feng had been toying with him. More importantly, the words "just a pack of beasts from the sea" had successfully enraged him. His power erupted as he charged toward Ye Feng, roaring furiously, "What did you say? Kid, go to hell!"

Ye Feng stood there with his sword in one hand, watching Arlong rush at him. He raised his sword high and softly said, "Heaven-Slaying." Just as Arlong's incomparably sharp nose was about to pierce Ye Feng, there was a crack, and Arlong's prized nose was split cleanly in two by Ye Feng's sword.

Seeing that his most important nose had been severed so easily by Ye Feng, Arlong's eyes turned bloodshot, brimming with bloodlust. He opened his huge mouth, revealing shark-like teeth that were incomparably sharp and possessed tremendous biting force. Anyone bitten by them would be crippled even if they survived.

As Arlong's bloody maw was about to bite down on him, Ye Feng remained calm. He raised his sword with his right hand and softly called out, "Sever!" The sword in Ye Feng's hand swept horizontally, and with a crack, every one of Arlong's razor-sharp teeth was sliced flat.

Only then did Arlong come to his senses. He staggered back several steps and looked at Ye Feng, his words leaking air without his nose. "You... you, who exactly are you?"

Looking at Arlong without a nose and hearing his airy speech, Ye Feng laughed. "Haha... Didn't I just tell you? You're not worthy."

Hearing Ye Feng speak of him that way, Arlong grew even more furious. Killing intent poured from his body, rolling around him in waves.

At that moment, Arlong was like a Sea King that had gone hungry for dozens of days.

Arlong touched his nose, turned, and walked to the opposite wall. From it, he took down a massive serrated blade. After taking it down, he swung it twice in his hand, producing two sharp clacks.

Arlong fixed Ye Feng with a sinister stare. "Kid, I'll show you now how terrifying our noble Fish-Man Tribe truly is." With that, he wielded the serrated blade and lunged at Ye Feng like a Sea King pouncing on its prey.

This time, Ye Feng did not use his sword as before. Instead, he directly unleashed the even more powerful Conqueror's Haki. As soon as his domineering aura erupted, Arlong was shaken so badly that he nearly collapsed to the ground.

Arlong used the blade in his hand to support himself. He stared in terror at Ye Feng, who stood with his hands behind his back, and said in disbelief, "Was that... the legendary Conqueror's Haki?"

After saying that, he shook his head and added, "That's impossible! This isn't the Grand Line. This is only the East Blue, the weakest of the Four Seas!"

Hearing Arlong's words, Ye Feng said disdainfully, "Hmph! How could an ant like you possibly know whether there are people in the East Blue who can use it?"

Arlong was utterly enraged by Ye Feng's words and shouted at him, "Impossible... impossible! How could I possibly lose to humans, a lowly race like yours? I don't believe it... I don't believe it!"
