Coco Village, once a paradise.
Until the arrival of Arlong and his Fishmen, they became the source of disaster.
Everyone disembarked at the Coco Village pier.
Two Fishmen immediately jumped out from the pier.
"Ha… isn't this our lovely Miss Nami? So, how much ransom did you bring this time?"
Nami's expression stiffened, and she unconsciously looked at Rosen.
Rosen, on the other hand, glanced at Johnny, then at Joseph.
"Do I need to teach you how to do it?"
"I am Johnny."
"I am Joseph."
Johnny and Joseph simultaneously assumed their sword-drawing stances.
"We are! The strongest Pirate Hunters!"
"Heaven-Slicing Sword Art!"
Whoosh whoosh—
Two sword lights whistled past.
The Fishmen who were lively a moment ago instantly turned into sashimi.
Nami looked at Rosen in astonishment, then at Johnny and Joseph.
Are they really going to war with Arlong the Fishman?
"Sure enough, the Fishmen's appearance doesn't conform to my aesthetics."
Rosen stepped over the two piles of sashimi, walked a few steps, then turned back to Nami: "Lead the way."
Nami stood still, pursing her lips. After a long while, she finally made up her mind and led the three to Arlong Park.
Johnny and Joseph killed a few more small fries on the way.
This also boosted their confidence considerably.
They arrived in front of Arlong Park.
Although the Fishmen's appearance didn't conform to Rosen's aesthetics, their headquarters on land was quite pleasing to Rosen's eye.
Just then, Nami's steps halted. Two Fishmen emerged from the mansion; they were both cadres of Arlong's crew.
Kuroobi, his body was tall and robust, with pale blue skin and a pair of protruding fins on his arms. He specialized in Fishman Karate.
Chiu Chiu, with a long, slender mouth, could fire Water Release bullets. Whether it was an instant scatter or continuous fire, it possessed immense destructive power.
Johnny and Joseph rushed forward again.
"Heaven-Slicing Sword Art!"
Kuroobi and Chiu Chiu simultaneously dodged their attacks.
"Nami, how dare you bring people to attack our Arlong Pirates!?"
"Kuroobi, they have the blood of our comrades on them! We've already had comrades killed by them."
"Don't let them get away!"
Kuroobi and Chiu Chiu were enraged and simultaneously attacked Johnny and Joseph.
Kuroobi strode forward, throwing a punch, and a strong gust of wind blasted towards Johnny and Joseph.
Just as the two were about to draw their swords to block, Chiu Chiu launched a long-range attack.
Several Water Release bullets struck the two, instantly turning them into bloodied figures.
Kuroobi's punch landed on their bodies, sending them sprawling at Rosen and Nami's feet.
Nami's face was pale, filled with despair.
Kuroobi and Chiu Chiu, brimming with Evil Qi, walked towards Rosen and Nami.
Indeed, humans could not possibly defeat Fishmen.
Earlier, when facing those ordinary Fishmen, Johnny and Joseph had appeared so strong.
This had given Nami a glimmer of hope.
But with the appearance of the Fishman cadres, her hope turned into despair.
The disparity was simply too great.
"You're dead."
"Dead?" Rosen took a step forward.
"Get lost, old man." Kuroobi punched towards Rosen.
Nami panicked, trying to pull Rosen away.
But then, Rosen raised two fingers and lightly tapped Kuroobi's forehead.
Kuroobi's head instantly exploded.
Chiu Chiu's expression froze: "Kuroobi!! You… you actually killed Kuroobi! I'm going to kill you."
Chiu Chiu took a deep breath, his chest swelled up, and the next moment, a Water Release bullet shot towards Rosen.
Splat—
The Water Release bullet hit Rosen's face.
Rosen wiped the water from his face: "Spitting on people is very disrespectful."
"You… how could you…"
One must know that with the pressure from his chest cavity, the power of his Water Release bullet could be compared to the cannons on Marine warships.
Yet, it hit Rosen's face without even scratching his skin.
"Let me teach you how Water should be played with." Rosen formed hand seals, while simultaneously inhaling. This process was exactly the same as Chiu Chiu firing his Water Release bullet.
Water Release: Water Release Bullet!
Boom—
Rosen's first Water Release bullet shot out.
The Water Release bullet missed, hitting the wall of Arlong Park in front.
A several-meter-wide hole was blasted into the wall of Arlong Park, piercing directly through it. The Water Release bullet flew hundreds of meters into the forest on the other side of Arlong Park, leaving a gully on the ground along its path, as if plowing through the earth.
Everyone present froze.
Chiu Chiu even twisted his stiff neck, looking at this incredible scene in astonishment.
This guy used the same Move as him.
But its power was a hundred times stronger than his. Was he the Fishman, or was the other person the Fishman?
Pop—
Rosen fired another Water Release bullet.
This time, Chiu Chiu couldn't dodge. The part of his body below his left chest looked as if a large chunk had been bitten off by a round-mouthed animal.
"Chiu Chiu!"
Just then, Arlong the Fishman and his cadres rushed out of Arlong Park and saw Chiu Chiu's death.
"Humans! You will all die, all humans on this island will die!"
Fire Release: Great Fire Dragon Technique!
Rosen exhaled a stream of Fire, and the flames transformed into a Fire Dragon with bared fangs and claws, charging towards the Fishmen.
"What!? Get out of the way!" Arlong sensed danger and immediately shouted.
But his warning was a little late. Three cadres were instantly engulfed by the Fire Dragon.
A scorched mark was left for hundreds of meters in a straight line. The three cadres engulfed by the Fire Dragon instantly vanished.
Arlong and his cadres had no time to mourn their comrades' deaths and immediately charged towards Rosen.
They had already discovered that although Rosen's attacks were immensely powerful, he needed to form hand seals before attacking.
As long as they struck him before Rosen launched his attack, he would surely die.
But as they were about to attack Rosen, his body was suddenly covered in black Chakra.
Immediately after, the black Chakra began to condense into Meridians, bones, and skin.
Gradually, a twenty-meter-tall, half-body black giant rose from the ground.
The black giant reached out and grabbed Arlong and the Fishman cadres in his hand.
Nami's jaw was dropped in shock at this moment.
She had never known that Arlong and the Fishmen were actually so weak.
Arlong was the strongest among these Fishmen, but in the black giant's hand, he was as weak and powerless as an ant.
Gradually, the Souls of Arlong and the Fishmen were forcibly extracted by Rosen.
These Fishmen's Souls were Chiu Chiu's best food.
Chiu Chiu was undergoing Rosen's modification every day, and it also needed to consume some unconventional food, such as Souls.
When the black giant disappeared, the bodies of Arlong and the Fishmen also fell to the ground.
However, their bodies had become withered, like dried fish.
Nami finally knelt on the ground and cried bitterly.
It's over… it's finally over…
Rosen looked at Nami: "Don't cry, Navigator. Have you forgotten that you still need to serve our Straw Hat Crew for a hundred years?"
Nami wiped away her tears, revealing a brilliant smile: "Then it's settled. For the next hundred years, I will be the Straw Hat Crew's Navigator."
Rosen looked at Arlong Park in front of him and suddenly felt that this building was an eyesore.
Rosen raised his hand and clenched it, Planetary Devastation!
The area within a thousand meters ahead began to crumble. Whether it was buildings or living creatures on the ground, everything was crushed by a great force, and then the fragments condensed into a sphere in mid-air, floating thousands of meters high above.
Nami, Johnny, and Joseph were already beyond words with shock.
Only now did Nami understand the weight of Johnny and Joseph's words: "The old man is super strong."
"Take me to see your home."
When they arrived at Coco Village, Officer Gen, Nami's older sister Nojiko, and a group of villagers had gathered at the village entrance. They were holding various farming tools, seemingly ready to fight someone.
"Everyone, I'm back!" Nami shouted loudly: "Arlong has been defeated by my companions."
"What?"
"Has Arlong really been defeated?"
"Is this true?"
The villagers of Coco Village were still somewhat disbelieving.
Nami pointed to the huge sphere floating in the distance.
"Now those scums have all become part of that."
The villagers had also gathered at the village entrance because of that suddenly appearing floating sphere and the earlier tremor on the island.
They thought it was another trick by Arlong and the Fishmen, planning to do something to them, the villagers, so they gathered here to respond.
They never expected to receive such good news.
"Nami."
Just then, a silver-blue-haired girl rushed out and hugged Nami.
"Nojiko." Nami also hugged Nojiko tightly.
"Arrange a room for me. Old people need rest. Please don't disturb me until I come out."
Rosen needed to summarize his insights from his battle with Hawkeye.
He didn't just let Hawkeye cut him so many times for nothing today.
He was trying to use his body to comprehend the Armament Haki on Hawkeye's blade.
Armament Haki is different from magic, Chakra, or Qi; it is another power system independent of the three.
However, this power system does not have a clear Cultivation Technique. So far, it can only be activated through stimulating training.
If he simply used stimulating methods to activate it, Rosen estimated he would never Awaken it in this lifetime.
After all, Rosen possesses Limitless / Limitless Void and Infinite Reversal Technique. There is no powerful enemy in this World that can destroy his life.
So Rosen could only find a way to research the correct guiding method for this power.
That is, a Cultivation Technique unique to this World.
After one night, Rosen had just researched a little something when he was interrupted from his seclusion by Luffy's loud voice outside.
Rosen walked out with a dark expression, and Nami also ran over at this moment.
"Luffy, shut up! You're disturbing the old man's Cultivation!"
Rosen glared fiercely at Luffy. Disturbing someone's Cultivation, ruining someone's Dao, this child must not be kept!
"Old man, please calm down." Nami stepped forward and said.
"Nami, starting today, I'll teach you some things. From now on, you'll monitor all violations and disciplinary issues in our crew. If you see anything you don't like, beat them up for me."
