On the other side, Zoro's fight with Hachi was still going on.
Because of the cloudy and rainy weather, Zoro's injuries had gotten worse.
Even the blood that had soaked through the bandages was slowly flowing through his clothes.
If he didn't treat it soon, it could get infected, and he might be in danger.
Hachi saw this!
He laughed proudly right away. He held up his swords and looked at Zoro fiercely.
"You're a tough swordsman, but I won't show any mercy."
"The fish-men you killed were my people. I'm going to get revenge for them, one cut at a time."
As he said this, Hachi spread all eight of his arms out wildly and started spinning them quickly, attacking Zoro.
Seeing this, Zoro gritted his teeth and quickly backed away.
"That's such messy swordsmanship. Please, don't insult swordsmen!"
He said!
Zoro took out his bandana and put it on his head. Then, he drew all three swords, and a dark purple energy spread out from him.
"Three-Sword Style Secret Art: A Great Thousand Worlds."
As soon as he finished speaking!
Zoro flashed forward and passed through the rapidly spinning Hachi.
At that moment, Hachi's body shook violently, and he stopped spinning.
He stood there, looking stunned.
If he wasn't still breathing, they would have thought Hachi was dead.
Even though Zoro was injured, his attack wasn't as strong as it was when he fought Hawk-Eye. It was only about a tenth of the power.
But it still left two deep cuts on Hachi's body.
At first, they weren't visible!
But as Hachi's breathing got faster and faster, two shocking cuts appeared.
Blood spurted out, Hachi's eyes rolled back, and he fell straight down.
The eight swords in his hands fell to the ground, scattered everywhere.
Even though he had beaten Hachi!
Zoro also fainted because of the heavy bleeding from his wound.
Seeing what was happening to Zoro, Luffy's eyes widened, and he felt very nervous. He looked at Nami and said:
"Don't worry about me. Please take care of Zoro!"
Hearing this!
Nami didn't hesitate.
She ran straight towards Zoro.
Nami quickly got to Zoro and gave him a simple bandage, which got him out of danger.
After making sure Zoro was okay!
Nami looked back at Luffy.
At this time, Luffy and Arlong were already fighting.
Arlong's fish-man karate kept coming forward, so fast that it was hard to see where the attacks were coming from.
But its power!
Didn't weaken at all.
The air around them was whistling as it was rubbed, and Luffy was being more careful than before, dodging desperately.
Despite Arlong's intense attacks!
He was unharmed.
Then!
Luffy found an opening and kicked at Arlong's head.
Arlong frowned and quickly dodged.
The kick went past Arlong's cheek and flew straight towards Arlong Park's tower.
Seeing this, Arlong was shocked and tried to stop it, but it was too late.
The kick!
Went right through the tower behind Arlong.
Luffy then pulled his leg back, and the tower broke in half.
Seeing this!
Arlong first looked serious, and then almost went crazy, saying:
"You stupid monkey, do you know what that place is?!"
"That's where we keep the key to ruling the East Sea!"
As he said this!
Arlong gritted his teeth.
He opened his mouth wide and bit at Luffy.
Seeing this, Luffy looked serious.
He pulled his leg back!
Arlong missed, and the force of the bite made his teeth get stuck together.
Arlong just pulled his teeth out!
Then!
He grew a new set of perfect teeth.
Seeing this, Luffy was jealous. Raynor shook his head, wondering why he would be jealous.
Seeing Arlong open his mouth again to attack,
Luffy's face tightened, and he aimed carefully and kicked Arlong in the chin.
But this attack!
Didn't hurt Arlong at all.
Arlong grabbed Luffy's ankle and threw him far away.
The next moment, Arlong grabbed three drops of rain and ran towards Luffy.
Luffy spun around in the air and kicked out again, hitting Arlong and sending him flying.
Arlong wiped the blood off his mouth and looked angry.
Then!
The muscles all over his body swelled up, and he punched at Luffy's head.
Luffy had just landed and couldn't get his strength back, so he was hit right in the face.
The powerful blow!
Sent Luffy flying.
A stream of fresh blood flew through the air.
Seeing this, Arlong looked excited and looked at Luffy.
He was about to make fun of Luffy.
But when he saw where Luffy was going, Arlong was speechless.
Because the place Luffy had crashed into was where he kept his maps.
These were the maps he needed to rule the East Sea.
He couldn't let that guy destroy them!
But at this time!
Luffy had already crashed into the tower.
He had smashed a big hole in the tower.
The tower, which was already in ruins, was damaged even more. Luffy struggled to pull his head out from under a big rock.
Then he looked around!
There were all kinds of sea charts everywhere.
Seeing this, Luffy's expression turned serious.
There were maps of the East Sea everywhere.
Even though Luffy couldn't draw maps, he remembered the route he had taken through the East Sea.
Here!
There were some maps that showed the route they had taken.
And among these maps!
There was also a letter written in messy handwriting.
It was all about Nami's feelings of anger and frustration as she worked hard to draw maps here.
Seeing this!
Luffy's face was serious, as if he understood everything.
This place!
Was the source of Nami's pain!
Outside!
Arlong was rushing towards the tower.
He was afraid that his maps!
Would be destroyed by that reckless guy.
But just then, he saw a foot sticking out of the top of the tower. Arlong's eyes almost popped out.
The next moment, the whole tower collapsed.
Then!
In the ruins, Luffy pushed a rock away and jumped out.
Maps fell everywhere, dropping into the sea. Seeing this, Nami's eyes filled with tears.
She couldn't believe what she was seeing.
Her nightmares of over ten years!
Were now disappearing in front of her.
Nami cried uncontrollably.
And Zoro woke up!
He looked worriedly towards the tower.
At this time, Luffy jumped up, his face determined. He looked at Arlong, who was standing there in shock.
"From today on, Nami will not draw maps for anyone."
"From now on, she's my navigator, and no one can force her to do anything!"
"Do you understand, long-nose?!"
