After putting Sandai Kitetsu into the sheath, Lin Mo released his Observation Haki, and quickly locked on the position where Arlong was at this time, just wandering around in Cocoyasi Village.

Without staying here longer, Lin Mo walked in the direction of Arlong.

On the way to Cocoyasi Village.

Lin Mo had just left not long ago, when not far away, a girl with short blue hair, a red headband, blue tattoos on her arms and upper chest, wearing a vest, trousers, a pair of white sneakers, and holding a basket of oranges appeared in his sight.

From the girl's outfit, Lin Mo recognized her identity.

Nojiko is the unrelated sister of Nami.

He is also the first person to know the purpose of Nami joining the Arlong team.

When Lin Mo discovered Nojiko, Nojiko actually discovered him.

The island where Cocoyasi Village is located has been marked by Arlong. It is precisely because of the rule of Arlong that no outsiders have visited the island for a long time. Those who have passed by As soon as people see the Arlong Pirates logo, almost all of them stay far away, let alone landing, for fear of being spotted by the Fish-Man members of Arlong Pirates.

Therefore, when she saw Lin Mo, a hint of incomprehension appeared on her face.

Originally she didn't want to meddle in other people's business, but looking at the direction Lin Mo was walking, she thought that not long ago, she saw Arlong leading his men to Cocoyasi Village. After a short silence, she stepped forward to block Lin Mo's way.

"This is not the place you should come. Get out of here before you are discovered."

Nojiko just finished.

Lin Mo didn't stop at all and walked right past her.

Nojiko was stunned, and immediately turned around and chased after him. "Didn't you hear? I'm helping you. This island is now ruled by Arlong. If he sees you, he will definitely not let you go."

"Oh." Lin Mo responded casually.

Seeing that Lin Mo didn't seem to take Arlong seriously at all, Nojiko couldn't help but asked with a headache, "Aren't you worried about your situation at all?"

Hearing this, Lin Mo said funnyly, "He is the one who should worry about his situation."

Chapter 594 Cocoyasi Village: Arrogant Fish-Man

Since Arlong ruled the island where Cocoyasi Village is located, all those who tried to resist Arlong were killed by Arlong without exception.

Occasionally, some people who don't know the situation here will accidentally go to the island. But when those people who go to the island know the identity of Arlong, no one dares to stay here, let alone say such things that they don't take Arlong seriously at all.

"Do you know what you will face if you continue to move forward?" Nojiko frowned slightly and couldn't help but ask.

Lin Mo ignored her at all.

This was the first time for Nojiko to meet someone like Lin Mo. Although she felt that if she continued to stop him, she would appear annoyed, but in any case, since there was still a chance to prevent the tragedy from happening, she would not stand idly by.

"Arlong is Pirate, who has a bounty of 20 million from the Navy." Nojiko continued, "Many people know about his notoriety. He is particularly cruel to humans, especially those who don't behave well. He will not let go of anyone who has paid the money to buy his own life, or anyone who dares to attack him or his Fish-Man subordinates. You obviously look about the same age as me, so don't risk your life just because of impulse."

Lin Mo:"..."

Is this Nojiko such a verbose person?

Lin Mo was too lazy to talk nonsense to Nojiko, and didn't want to listen to her rambling anymore, so he simply used Flash Step, and disappeared with a 'shua'.

Nojiko wanted to say something more, but before she could say anything, Lin Mo had already run away, leaving her alone, staring with big eyes.

"Uh? That person just now..." A drop of sweat broke out on Nojiko's forehead. Looking at Lin Mo, who could barely see a trace of a human figure, his expression became serious.

At this time, Arlong was leading a group of subordinates, swaggering around the half-destroyed Cocoyasi Village.

He doesn't come here every day. Occasionally, when he's full and has nothing to do, he'll walk around.

Those Cocoyasi Village villagers who survived were scattered and hiding behind various buildings. The brave ones dared to sneak a few glances at Arlong them.

The timid ones have already run home and closed the doors and windows tightly.

Just when Arlong was enjoying the fact that the people in this village lived under the fear of his rule.

A middle-aged man with a scarred face, a windmill on his hat, and a uniform similar to that of a security guard came to Arlong with a heavy face.

This man's name is Genzo, and he was the original Sheriff of Cocoyasi Village. However, after Arlong ruled the island, the title of Sheriff has no real meaning.

Genzo has a good relationship with Nami's mother (not related by blood). The scar on his face is because he resisted when Arlong invaded Cocoyasi Village and was injured by Kuroobi, as for the iconic pinwheel on his hat, it was because he had a sinister face and could not make the baby Nami laugh, so he suddenly thought of putting a pinwheel on his hat. Sure enough, Nami laughed. From then on, the pinwheel has been on his hat.

It can be said that he treats sisters Nojiko and Nami as well as he treats his own daughters.

Similarly, although he is no longer the peace officer of Kakayasi Village, from the bottom of his heart, as long as there is an opportunity and as long as everyone needs it, he will do everything to protect the village.

"Didn't you come here yesterday?" Genzo stared at Arlong with a slight frown.

Arlong looked condescending and sneered, "This is my territory. Where do I want to go? Do I need the consent of a lower human being like you?"

Hearing this, Genzo gritted his teeth, clenched his fists with both hands, and tried his best to endure the anger in his heart.

Those who were hiding around, and those who saw the situation here, did not dare to say anything.

"Have they paid the fees this month?" Arlong suddenly looked at a subordinate next to him and asked in a lazy tone.

His subordinates replied with a smile, "Boss, there are still three days until they pay next month's fees."

"Okay." Arlong sneered, "Give me a good list one by one. No one can be left behind, and no Beli can be missing. If anyone wants to escape from the island, if you find one, kill him."

"Okay, we get it."

"Leave it to us, not a single one of these lowly human ants can escape, hee hee hee hee."

Arlong's subordinates laughed arrogantly.

Genzo Although he was very angry, he could not resist at all.

The people around who were watching silently were all unconvinced, but no one dared to stand up and resist.

The fate of those who bravely went out to resist in the past is still vivid in our minds. With just them, there is no way they can defeat this group of powerful Fish-Man Pirate.

Therefore, all they can do now is to silently endure and fight a long war with these inhumane Fish-Man.

Although the hope is slim, they still believe that sooner or later, Arlong Pirates led by Arlong will be defeated by justice!

"Hahahahahaha." Arlong laughed, "Human ants should be obedient and serve Fish-Man who has a noble bloodline. Anyone who dares to resist will die, hahahaha."

Just when Arlong was still laughing arrogantly, suddenly a gust of wind blew past him.

When he discovered something, a figure, with everyone Fish-Man shocked, appeared in front of Arlong, and punched Arlong hard in the chest without hesitation.

In an instant, Arlong was hit by a powerful impact and flew backwards. With the continuous loud noise of "bang bang bang", the flying Arlong directly crashed through the walls of several houses.

That's right, it's Lin Mo who's here.

Everyone's faces were filled with disbelief and disbelief.

Genzo, who was nearest, had a lot of sweat on his forehead. "Who is this kid?"

When Arlong's Fish-Man subordinates saw that their own Captain was beaten away by an inexplicable person, after a brief moment of being at a loss, they immediately reacted and showed off their weapons one after another.

"Damn it, you actually dare to hit us Leader, this human being is dead!"

"He's just a human, but he dares to attack our noble Fish-Man. Brothers, go ahead, capture him and hand him over to the boss!"

"Why should we arrest him? Just kill him!"

"Ho, charge!"

Afterwards, Arlong's men rushed towards Lin Mo menacingly.

Lin Mo drew out Sandai Kitetsu. Without saying a word, he directly moved Divine Departure. Countless Sword Aura wrapped around Haki, like countless blades, instantly sieved the Fish-Man that rushed over.

When all the Fish-Mans answered to the end, the surrounding area suddenly became quiet and extremely quiet.

Chapter 595 Cocoyasi Village: Progress

Dealing with Arlong's group is simply a piece of cake for Lin Mo.

The purpose of his coming here is not to help Cocoyasi Village people, he is just here to complete the task.

After he beat Arlong away, he waited for a long time without hearing the system prompt, which made him confused.

Logically speaking, Arlong should have at least one progress task...

What went wrong? Or did he overlook something?

Just when Lin Mo was still thinking about what was going on.

Nojiko, who was trotting back from outside, saw Arlong's men lying on the ground from a distance, and covered his mouth with both hands in surprise.

This... was this all done by that stranger?

Nojiko focused his attention on Lin Mo, who was standing in the middle of the pile of Fish-Man who had fallen to the ground, seeming to be thinking about something.

Before she even had time to think about anything, Arlong climbed up from a pile of rubble. After seeing that all the men she had brought out were wiped out, she was originally very angry because she was beaten by humans. Now, she was even more furious.

"Damn it! How dare you attack my men! Damn human ants, I'm going to kill you!" As he said that, Arlong turned around quickly and rushed towards Lin Mo.

Just when he was approaching Lin Mo less than half a meter away, Lin Mo backhand covered Armament Haki on Sandai Kitetsu, and then Then he slashed hard and cut off the jagged Long Nose that Arlong was proud of with a bang. Then he kicked it and kicked it away again.

Genzo:"!"

Everyone: "!"

Genzo stared at Lin Mo with his eyes wide open with incredible color, and asked tremblingly, "You, you just... defeated Arlong so easily?"

Lin Mo ignored him.

Nojiko was holding a basket of oranges and was about to pass by.

Arlong, who was kicked away, once again jumped out of the pile of rubble with rough skin and flesh.

Touching the bleeding broken nose, Arlong's eyes were already red with anger.

Without hesitation, he grabbed Nojiko who was not far away from him.

Although Nojiko discovered Arlong, no matter how hard she ran, she still couldn't outrun Arlong, and was quickly caught by Arlong.

"Nojiko!" Genzo saw that Nojiko was arrested, and his face immediately turned pale.

Arlong took Nojiko as a hostage and walked towards Lin Mo and Genzo with a sneer, "If you don't want this woman to die, just capture that foreign boy!"

Arlong has regarded Lin Mo as someone who wants to rescue Cocoyasi Village's people, so he wants to use Nojiko as a hostage and force the people in this village to capture Lin Mo and make them kill each other.

Nojiko clenched his teeth and then shouted, "Leave me alone, the powerful Mr. Swordsman, we have all seen your strength. You are the only one who can kill Arlong now. Please leave me alone and help everyone kill Arlong!"

As soon as Nojiko finished speaking, Arlong used his free hand to pull out his regenerable fangs, and directly made a medium-sized gash on Nojiko's neck.

Blood immediately flowed from the wound, and soon Nojiko's neck was stained red.

Although it hurt, this pain was nothing compared to what his sister had endured over the years. Nojiko remained firm and said without wavering, "Mighty Mr. Swordsman, please, my life is not important. Please kill Arlong, please!"

Lin Mo:"..."

Genzo: "Nojiko... No, is there no other way?"

Everyone hiding around was also embarrassed.

They all want to save Nojiko, but they also hope that Lin Mo can save them from dire straits.

Contradictions make everyone extremely miserable.

Over the years, Arlong's inhumane rule has caused them to complain endlessly. There is not a day that goes by that they don't hope that this rule will end soon.

But they have watched Nojiko grow up. If Nojiko's life is to be exchanged for their freedom, then they will live in deep self-blame for the rest of their lives.

"No, Nojiko can't die!"

"Swordsman boy, please save Nojiko, please."

"Nojiko is a good child. She should not die now. We know that we are very sorry for you, but there is nothing we can do."

Everyone's faces were full of pain. They were forced to have no choice but to take out various kitchen knives, hoes and other things that could be used as weapons at home, and tremblingly surrounded Lin Mo.

"What are you doing?" Although Genzo also wanted to save Nojiko, he had more things to consider than the other villagers. Regardless of whether they could catch Lin Mo as Arlong wanted, just from the fact that Lin Mo easily knocked Arlong away twice just now, it can be seen that this Swordsman boy can easily hit all the villagers if he wants to. If he angers this boy, then they will all be in danger.

Therefore, it is difficult for him now, but looking at the state of the villagers, it is no longer something he can stop.

Lin Mo:"..."

What are these people doing...

Lin Mo naturally doesn't care whether these villagers live or die, it has nothing to do with him in the first place.

Suddenly thinking of something, Genzo quickly stopped the villagers from approaching, then faced Lin Mo and asked, "Swordsman boy, you are very powerful, if you can protect Nojiko Under the premise of's life, if you help us kill Arlong, we won't let you do it in vain. Instead, we will pay you a large sum of money. Don't look at how impoverished we are now, but with a little help, we can raise some money for you."

Lin Mo:"..."

Does he seem to be short of money?
