Perona, who was standing nearby, couldn't hold back any longer when she heard Nami's exaggerated description of the Arlong's power.
"Hehehehehe--"
Perona clutched her stomach and let out a burst of hilarious laughter.
She looked at Nami as if she were some country bumpkin who had never seen the world.
"Twenty million Beli? Ten times the arm strength? That's terrifying!" Perona chuckled sarcastically.
"This kind of trash isn't even worthy of carrying the master's shoes. You actually think the master can't beat him? That's hilarious!"
Nami blushed deeply at Perona's laughter, glaring at her through gritted teeth.
"What are you laughing at! You have no idea how terrifying Fish-Man are!"
Just then, Tashigi, belatedly realizing what was happening, finally came to her senses.
"Wait! Your target is the Arlong Pirates?"
Tashigi's eyes lit up, her sense of justice exploding instantly.
" The Arlong is a scourge of the East Blue! Since you want to deal with him, I, as a Marine, cannot stand idly by!"
Tashigi whirled around, gripping the sword at her waist. "I'll contact the local Marine Base right now and have them send troops to help capture the Arlong!"
After saying that, Tashigi ran off towards the edge of the village without hesitation.
Perona watched Tashigi's departing figure, then turned to look at Uchiha Xin with a surprised expression.
"Master, are you just going to let her go like that? She went to call the navy; what if she causes trouble?"
Uchiha Xin stood with his hands in his pockets, his expression calm, showing no intention of stopping him.
"Trouble? Nothing on this vast ocean can cause me any trouble."
He looked in the direction Tashigi had left and said confidently, "And she'll be back soon."
Nami has already made it very clear that the local Captain Nezumi and Arlong have long been in cahoots. If a fool like Tashigi goes to ask for help, she will definitely get a cold shoulder, and might even be ambushed by the Captain Nezumi.
Uchiha Xin turned his head and looked at Nami again to confirm the deal they had just made.
"My proposal still stands. The Arlong is dead, you come with me."
Nami was so angry that she stomped her feet and tried her best to persuade him to leave.
"Can't you understand human language! The Arlong has many subordinates, and their strength is extremely powerful. You have absolutely no chance of winning alone!"
"Don't drag me down with you if you want to die! I need to save money to buy the village, I don't have time to mess with you!"
Perona laughed even harder after being repeatedly looked down upon by Nami.
"Hehehe, Master, your invincible reputation doesn't seem to be working very well in the East Blue. Even a little girl thinks you can't beat a few salted fish."
Uchiha Xin glanced at Perona, secretly noting down this debt.
"Once we've finished our business, I'll see how I deal with you, you talkative maid."
He stopped rambling.
Explaining to this naive little girl is a complete waste of time.
"Since you don't believe me, then see for yourself."
Uchiha Xin directly activated the power of the Body of the Extreme Path.
boom!
An invisible force instantly enveloped Nami and Perona.
"Ah--!"
Amid Nami's horrified screams, the three of them were suddenly launched into the air, instantly soaring hundreds of meters into the sky.
"Flying... it's flying?!"
Nami turned pale with fright, her eyes tightly shut, her hands flailing wildly in the air, too scared to look at her feet.
"Open your eyes and give directions."
Uchiha Xin's cold voice rang in my ears.
Nami opened her eyes trembling, looking down at the village that resembled ants, her mind blank.
"Where is the Arlong Pirates located?"
Faced with Uchiha Xin's interrogation, Nami instinctively pointed a trembling finger at a stretch of coastline southeast of the village.
"Over there... over there..."
The words had barely left his mouth.
A flash of purple-gold light appeared in Uchiha Xin's eyes.
Divine Transference!
Swish!
Space distorted instantly, and in the blink of an eye, the three of them were teleported directly above the Arlong Park base.
Below, the enormous Arlong Park building is clearly visible. In the swimming pool and courtyard, large numbers of ferocious-looking Fish-Man are drinking, eating, and reveling wildly.
The Arlong sat in the main seat, laughing arrogantly.
Nami stared down at the nightmarish Arlong base below, still reeling from the shock of being teleported.
"This is the pirate you were talking about, so powerful that they're impossible to contend with?"
Uchiha Xin hovered high in the sky, looking down at the Arlong Park below.
He didn't even draw his Black Blade Yoru, but slowly raised his right hand.
With one hand, gently press downwards.
"Extreme Wind Pressure."
boom--!!!
There were no fancy lights or shadows, only terrifying brute force that was pure to the extreme and surpassed the limits of the physical laws of the world!
The air was forcibly compressed into an indestructible, transparent steel plate, which crashed down from the sky with earth-shattering force!
"Bang!"
A deafening roar that echoed across the entire earth.
The Arlong Park below didn't even have time to let out a scream.
A sturdy wall, magnificent architecture, a bottomless swimming pool, and all the Fish-Man and pirates reveling inside...
The moment that terrifying force struck, they were all crushed into dust!
The earth trembled violently, and the ground within a radius of several miles collapsed dozens of meters downwards.
When the storm subsided and the smoke cleared.
The coastline that was once occupied by the Arlong Pirates has been completely flattened.
All that remained was a massive, bottomless palm print.
The Arlong Pirates, who had dominated the East Blue and committed evil deeds for many years, were thus destroyed.
High in the sky, the wind howled.
Nami hovered in mid-air, her eyes wide open, almost bulging out of their sockets.
The coastline below, which was once occupied by the Arlong Pirates, has now completely disappeared.
Instead, there was a terrifying, bottomless, and enormous palm print.
Seawater was rushing back along the edge of the palm print, creating a deafening roar.
"This... this is impossible..."
Nami's voice trembled, she covered her mouth tightly with both hands, and her whole body shook violently uncontrollably.
She rubbed her eyes repeatedly, thinking she was dreaming.
That Arlong that dominated the East Blue and had a bounty of 20 million Beli, that terrifying monster that plunged her and the entire Cocoyasi Village into endless despair, just like that... gone?
Along with that sturdy Arlong Park, it was wiped out with a single slap?
The nightmare that had weighed on my heart for years vanished completely in that instant.
Perona, standing to the side, covered her mouth and burst into laughter at Nami and unworldly demeanor.
"Hehehehe, I told you long ago, this kind of trash isn't even worthy of carrying the owner's shoes, but you wouldn't believe me."
Uchiha Xin remained calm, not even glancing at the ruins below.
He called out to the system in his mind, but there was no response.
"Really."
Uchiha Xin snorted coldly, his tone revealing undisguised disdain.
"These ants aren't even worth mentioning; killing them won't even trigger a single system proficiency reward. What a waste of time."
