When Arlong saw that Her Kazi was ignoring him, fear and anger surged through him.
The Fish-Man officers standing nearby tried to dissuade Arlong.
"Boss, let's get out of here quickly."
"Yeah, boss, the other side is a monster with a bounty of 3.866 billion Beli. We can't beat them."
"As long as we escape into the sea, no matter how powerful they are, they won't be able to catch us."
Hearing his subordinates' words, Arlong calmed down a bit, realizing they were right; it would be unwise to confront the other side head-on.
At worst, he'll just wait until the other party leaves before returning to the East Blue. He simply doesn't believe that Her Kazi won't leave the East Blue.
If all else fails, go to the South Blue, the North Blue, or the West Blue. They're all easier than the Grand Line. They're great Fish-Man; they'll always have a place there.
"Then we'll do as you say and retreat back to the sea."
Hearing their leader speak, the other Fish-Man breathed a sigh of relief and, without further hesitation, rushed towards the sea.
Arlong picked up his severed arm and turned to run away.
"Heh heh heh, what naive fools."
Did I let you leave?
" Space Cage!"
Suddenly, all the Fish-Man seemed to have crashed into an incredibly solid wall of air, each one ending up with a bloody head, and not one of them was able to reach the sea.
What's going on?
There's clearly nothing in front of me, so why can't I get past?
The many Fish-Man truly felt the threat of death; they could no longer escape back to the sea, which effectively cut off their only way out.
Kazu clenched his fist, and the Space Cage tightened rapidly, pushing all the Fish-Man towards the center.
Within a dozen seconds, all the Fish-Man were gathered together by Kazu.
"You actually made my lovely sisters cry; you all deserve to die."
"Fear in despair, repent, and then..."
"Die, you powerless fool!"
Kazu instantly tightened the Space Cage, squeezing and deforming the bodies of all the Fish-Man, then forcibly exploding them in the ever-shrinking space.
The curses and screams lasted only a few seconds; the Space Cage contained nothing but bits of flesh and blood.
He didn't even spare Hachi, who had some connection with Rayleigh. Since they dared to invade human villages, they should be prepared to be slaughtered.
As for whether Rayleigh will have any objections?
If he has any complaints, let him come and talk to Her Kazi in person.
Her Kazi loves to reason with people, and if reasoning doesn't work, he's also good at using the truth.
This bloody scene terrified the villagers, who had low tolerance for psychological stress, and they all found an open space to vomit.
"Brother Kazu, thank you."
"Brother Kazu, we don't know what we would do without you."
Nami and Nojiko were also quite frightened, but seeing Kazu's handsome and reliable face calmed them down.
"Mr. Kazu, thank you for coming all this way to save Cocoyasi Village."
Thank you so much!
Bellemere and Genzo both know Kazu and are considered to be people who can talk to him.
The two walked over together to thank Kazu for saving their lives and bowed deeply to Kazu.
Aside from genuine respect for each other, they didn't know how else they could repay Kazu.
They truly have everything they need, while what about them? They have nothing but their worthless lives.
"It's alright. I told you before, call me if you encounter any danger. I have the ability to Teleportation and can come to your rescue immediately."
"Besides, my two lovely younger sisters are right here!"
Nami and Nojiko, a little shy and a little happy, after what Kazu said.
"I never expected that you weren't lying to us, Brother Kazu. You really can return to Cocoyasi Village anytime."
"We were just trying our luck, and mostly because we really didn't know what else to do."
Nami and Nojiko initially thought that Kazu was just trying to cheer them up, since it was unbelievable that he could come over so quickly from such a distance.
"Haha, I like you two so much, how could I possibly lie to you?"
"If you ever fear that pirates or other villains will attack your village again, then hang my Blond Hair Pirates ' flag here."
"This is something I, Her Kazi, personally acknowledged; it's quite rare, isn't it?"
Kazu's words were quite clear: he intended to protect them. This delighted the villagers, who were even overwhelmed with joy.
Kazu just saved their village; the other person must be a really good person.
The villagers are just that simple and honest. If you have done them a favor, they will accept you regardless of your status.
Just like the naval captain here, that Captain Nezumi has always ignored the pirate invasion, watched the villagers suffer without doing anything, and only knows how to exploit them.
Even though the other person was wearing a navy uniform, in the eyes of the villagers, he was still an utterly wicked villain.
The villagers spontaneously went home and brought out all the food and drink they could to treat Kazu to a meal and to express their gratitude for his kindness.
However, Kazu glanced at the drinks and realized they were all types he didn't like, so he quickly waved his hand and declined their offer.
He claimed that he saved Cocoyasi Village not for these material things, but because the villagers needed the food more than he did.
The villagers were moved to tears once again, and Nami and Nojiko's eyes also shone brightly, their adoration for Kazu reaching an unparalleled level.
