But right when they!
Were getting ready to celebrate, Arlong, who had already fallen and couldn't get up, suddenly twitched a finger and sat up, trembling all over.
This dashed the hopes of the villagers once again.
Before Luffy could pull back his arm, Arlong grabbed it. In the next second, Arlong opened his mouth wide and bit Luffy's arm.
Luffy's arm immediately gushed blood, and he yelled to the sky in pain.
He let out a heart-wrenching scream.
Seeing this, Raynor frowned slightly and was about to step in, but Luffy instantly kicked Arlong in the head.
This broke Arlong's tooth grip.
Luffy withdrew his hands. His arms were now a bloody mess.
If he hadn't reacted quickly.
His hands would probably have been bitten off by Arlong.
Luffy gasped for breath, staring at Arlong. Arlong didn't back down either. Their eyes met, and the air filled with the smell of gunpowder.
But now, they were both too injured, and neither of them made the first move.
However, after a moment's rest!
Arlong's body suddenly disappeared from the spot.
At this point, Luffy was still adjusting his state, but Arlong was already behind him.
He bit into Luffy's shoulder.
The excruciating pain made Luffy let out an earth-shattering scream.
At this moment!
Everyone's eyes turned to Luffy, and they all felt a sense of worry.
Blood was flowing from Luffy's shoulder. If he didn't fight back, he would either die or be crippled.
With this in mind!
Luffy stretched out his arm again.
He punched Arlong in the stomach.
Wanting to send Arlong flying.
But this time!
Arlong refused to let go no matter what.
Luffy couldn't muster any strength because of the pain. He could only let Arlong do as he pleased.
"Hmph, you stinky monkey from the East Blue, don't think you can challenge me just because you have some skills!"
"You're still too green."
Luffy's fists kept attacking Arlong.
But no matter how Luffy attacked, Arlong wouldn't let go, vowing to hold on with Luffy until the last moment, to see who would fall first.
Seeing this, Raynor's face turned ugly.
If this continued, Luffy would die from blood loss sooner or later.
Raynor knew!
This might already be Luffy's limit.
While Raynor was worried, the system's prompt suddenly sounded.
[Ding, congratulations to the host for triggering a story mission. You can make the following choices.]
[One, abandon Luffy and join Arlong. Get 1300 points of experience in all stats.]
[Two, help Luffy and defeat Arlong. Get 1000 points of experience in all stats and a random crafting blueprint.]
Hearing this!
Raynor frowned slightly.
Giving rewards now!
Do they have to keep it mysterious?
Putting aside the rewards, joining Arlong, that trash, was definitely impossible.
So Raynor chose two without hesitation.
After confirming the mission, Raynor looked at Arlong with cold eyes and muttered:
"System, extract the Ox Amulet!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a cold amulet appeared in Raynor's hand.
At this moment!
Raynor said in a cold voice:
"Luffy, I'll give you something good, catch it!"
Hearing this!
Luffy was stunned, and then he saw something like a stone being thrown at him.
Luffy didn't understand what it meant, but he trusted Raynor. He stretched out his arm and held the Ox Amulet in his hand.
In an instant!
Luffy felt full of power. His originally weak body was instantly filled with energy.
This energy had nowhere to vent, Luffy gritted his teeth, clenched his fists, and roared to the sky.
Then, his muscles instantly swelled up twice their size.
The ground beneath his feet instantly caved in!
Seeing this!
Arlong's pupils shrank.
He didn't know why, but the skinny monkey who was about to be killed by him suddenly regained his energy.
Could it be!
Was it that kid who uses Haki again?
Before Arlong could react, Luffy directly punched him. This seemingly ordinary strike was incredibly powerful.
Arlong's entire body twisted and flew straight out.
The powerful force of Luffy's punch was beyond Arlong's tolerance.
It directly made Arlong spit blood, and his body twitched on the ground.
But even so!
Luffy didn't plan to let Arlong go.
He threw left and right hooks, then hit Arlong's face.
He almost knocked Arlong's head off his body.
At this time!
Luffy used his hand to pry open Arlong's mouth, and then used his other hand to pull out his teeth.
Arlong's mouth was covered in blood!
A look of fear appeared in his eyes.
Seeing this scene!
Even the villagers who had been persecuted by Arlong felt a little unbearable.
This kind of torture was a bit too cruel.
However, next, everyone saw Luffy actually putting those fake teeth in his own mouth.
Directly!
He also bit Arlong.
It hurt so much that Arlong's tears flowed.
At this moment!
Raynor and the others were all speechless.
He really was a guy who always paid back his debts.
A look of anger appeared in Arlong's eyes. He grabbed Luffy's face with one hand and pulled him off.
But in the next second!
Under the influence of the Ox Amulet, Luffy punched Arlong and sent him flying.
Arlong landed on the beach. When he reappeared, his face was serious, and a look of resentment appeared in his eyes.
Under the powerful force of the Ox Amulet, Luffy walked straight towards Arlong.
At this moment!
Arlong's teeth were chattering a little!
He didn't understand why this guy in front of him had suddenly become so strong.
As Luffy got closer step by step, Arlong gritted his teeth and said:
"You don't think I only have this much, do you?"
As he said that!
A sinister smile appeared on Arlong's face.
At this moment, there was a sudden roar of a sea creature from the bottom of the sea.
Everyone who heard this sound felt their scalps tingle and looked towards the deep sea.
At this time, a whirlpool was forming in the sea.
This whirlpool was as big as a small mountain.
Feeling the powerful tremors, Sanji woke up slowly, and his face was shocked.
Even Zoro!
Looked at the sea with some worry.
At this time, a huge sea cow rose from the seabed, its huge body shrouded in front of everyone.
A sinister smile appeared on the corner of Arlong's mouth.
"Moo-Moo, give them a taste of what you've got!"
"You don't need to worry about the villagers here anymore. Kill all those who should be killed!"
Hearing Arlong's instructions!
The sea cow exuded a powerful aura.
The surrounding seawater vibrated and began to shake non-stop.
Moo-Moo opened its big mouth and was about to launch an indiscriminate attack on them.
But just then!
Raynor turned around slowly and looked at Moo-Moo with cold eyes.
This one look made the sea cow Moo-Moo freeze in place.
Immediately!
Moo-Moo put away its aura, and its whole body trembled in the sea.
Gradually!
Two clear tears fell and it slowly walked back into the sea.
