The shout that followed came from Jinbe, because Arlong used to be his underling, so he called Fisher Tiger Boss, Arlong called Fisher Tiger Boss Boss Boss.
Jinbe also wanted to abandon Onigumo to check on Fisher Tiger's condition, but Onigumo seemed to see an opportunity and kept pestering Jinbe. In the end, Jinbe got angry and used Fish-Man Karate: Onigumo to break all six swords that Buraikan was blocking in front of him.
All six broken blades were embedded in Onigumo's chest. The lingering force of the broken blades also struck Onigumo's chest, and those nearby heard several crisp sounds—the sound of ribs breaking.
Onigumo was injured and fell to the ground, only able to watch Jinbe ran towards Fisher Tiger. He really didn't expect that this blue fat Fish-Man would be so strong!
He originally asked Sakazuki to ask Sengoku for a mission so he could make a great contribution and improve his status at headquarters. He even contacted several newspaper reporters just to record his heroic deeds.
But now it's all over. He was on Yingzi's side and became a background character. The main character was temporarily changed to the young guy who beat him up last time.
Onigumo turned his head with difficulty to look at the warship where the reporters were. They really had been taking pictures of that kid the whole time, without stopping. Onigumo was so angry that blood trickled from the corner of his mouth again.
"Did you take a picture? The heroic figure of Vice Admiral Dark Dragon just now?"
"I took pictures! I've been taking pictures of Vice Admiral Dark Dragon ever since he arrived!"
The reporters completely ignored Onigumo. Who would bother filming you now that Dark Dragon is here? Dark Dragon is the real deal when it comes to generating buzz. He's so handsome and strong, and he's the embodiment of justice. He has countless female fans all over the world. As long as there's news about Dark Dragon, newspapers can sell half again as much.
"Big Brother! Fisher Tiger hasn't stopped breathing or his heart has stopped beating! That Marine killed Big Brother Fisher Tiger!"
Arlong, seeing Jinbe arrive, quickly reported the results of his examination of Fisher Tiger. At the same time, his eyes were bloodshot and his face was filled with resentment as he stared at Vic's back. He was filled with rage. He had just come from Fish-Man Island, wanting to do something big with Fisher Tiger, but before he could even get started, Fisher Tiger was killed by the Navy, and his ambitions would be impossible to realize.
"What did you say? Brother Fisher Tiger is dead? Impossible! This is absolutely impossible!"
Jinbe knew how strong Fisher Tiger was. Back when he and Arlong were the bosses of Fish-Man District, it was Fisher Tiger who appeared and defeated everyone before becoming their boss.
Now, however, he was instantly killed by a young navy man, which he found unbelievable and hard to believe. He even suspected that there was something wrong with Arlong's examination, but he never doubted Fisher Tiger's vitality.
"Ah! I'll kill you to avenge Boss Fisher Tiger!"
Arlong ignored Jinbe's disbelief. He already knew whether Fisher Tiger was dead or not. He grabbed his weapon, the Greatsaw Sword, and Kiribachi towards Vic.
At that moment, Vic was squatting on the ground holding Rebecca in his arms, with his back facing them. So, Arlong wanted to sneak up and cut Vic in two with a single strike.
Would Vic's character allow a future Arlong, who's going to make a living in the East Blue, to ambush him? Of course not. Vic turned around and delivered a spinning back kick, his long leg crackling with lightning striking Arlong squarely in the side of the face.
Arlong flew out and landed next to Onigumo, rolling his eyes at him with his jaw crooked. His shark teeth popped out of his mouth and jumped onto Onigumo, biting his thigh, almost reaching the groin.
"Big brother! Big brother Fisher Tiger!..."
Jinbe also checked Fisher Tiger's condition, but just as Arlong had said, there was no heartbeat or breathing; he was truly dead!
Upon hearing the news, Jinbe was devastated. He hugged Fisher Tiger, calling Fisher Tiger name and weeping, completely oblivious to what was happening on the battlefield. He didn't even notice Arlong being knocked away; tears had blurred his vision.
"Brother Jinbe! Now is not the time for grief. Brother Fisher Tiger has fallen. We can only rely on you now. You must make a decision: fight or flee!"
Seeing Jinbe overcome with grief, and knowing that Fisher Tiger was truly dead and Arlong was right, many Fish-Man began to weep. Among these Fish-Man were many that Fisher Tiger had rescued from Mary Geoise, including Aladdin and the Fish-Man Fish-Man Hachi.
Only Aladdin remained relatively clear-headed, knowing that now was not the time for grief, otherwise the newly formed Sun Pirates would have been completely wiped out. Therefore, Jinbe, the former leader of Fish-Man District, had to step forward.
"I understand. You all quickly lead your wounded comrades to escape, directly across the sea. Abandon the pirate ship. Most of the Marines who could fight are down. I'll hold off that boy. If we can avenge Boss Fisher Tiger, that would be even better!"
Jinbe was awakened by Aladdin's shouts. He knew that he had to step up and take charge now. With Fisher Tiger gone, he had the most authority. So Jinbe wiped away his tears, stood up, gave his instructions, and walked towards Vic.
When Vic saw Jinbe arrive, he knew that the plan had reached its final stage. The truth about this incident was with the Fish-Man, and he could only tell Jinbe.
Since Jinbe the future Knight of the Sea, and his integrity and reputation are beyond question, what he did for Fisher Tiger will remain a secret and will not affect his continued presence in the Navy.
He must ensure his own safety first; it would be foolish to ruin his own plans for the sake of Fisher Tiger, who is already dead in the original story—to lose more than he gains.
Since it's all acting, the fight between Vic and Jinbe naturally doesn't involve swords. How could they fight if Vic used a sword? The act would be impossible to continue.
Although Jinbe is very strong now, he is not the helmsman of the Straw Hat Pirates later on. Jinbe doesn't even Haki yet. He needs to travel the seas for several more years to fully learn it before he has the strength to become Shichibukai. Therefore, Vic and Jinbe engaged in close-quarters combat.
" Jinbe! Fisher Tiger isn't dead. He's just in a state of suspended animation. He'll wake up in an hour!"
"I admire Fisher Tiger so much! He did what I wanted to do but couldn't. He's a hero!"
"I'll let you go this time, but that Arlong must stay. I can't have come up empty-handed. You don't need to go and rescue him."
"The fact that Fisher Tiger can survive is best kept secret only by you. If the news leaks, Fisher Tiger will certainly die. What he did was too great; the World Government cannot tolerate him!"
"From now on, Fisher Tiger should live in anonymity. That way, he can truly fake his death and escape!"
While fighting Jinbe, Vic moved close to Jinbe's ear, his lips moving but no sound escaping; he was using Secret Sound Transmission.
However, Vic was very fast. As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately separated from the battle. He was so fast that no one saw his lips move. After several attempts, he finally conveyed everything he wanted to say to Jinbe.
Jinbe initially genuinely wanted to kill Vic; he hated Vic to the core. However, he was momentarily stunned upon hearing Vic's first words. Had Vic's speed not been so fast that it affected his body, he would have been exposed.
But his heart was like a volcano erupting, and he listened to everything while suppressing his questions and the changes in his expression.
At first, he suspected that Vic was lying to him and wanted to kill him when he lost his composure. He did indeed lose his composure, but Vic not only did not take the opportunity to kill him, but also helped him cover up his mistake.
