Hearing these words, Arlong slowly looked up, a hint of angry resentment showing in his eyes.
Then!
He gritted his teeth and said:
"Kid, you've made me mad, do you really want to be enemies with our Arlong Pirates?"
Hearing this!
Luffy's eyes were firm, showing no fear at all.
And Zoro and Sanji stepped forward!
Ready to!
Fight at any time!
Even Usopp!
Also gathered towards Luffy.
As if he had made a huge decision.
Although!
He quickly backed away again.
Raynor stood behind Luffy, silently looking at Arlong!
Feeling Raynor's gaze!
Instantly!
Arlong's expression looked a little scared.
Since coming to the East Blue!
This was the first time he had felt this chill down his spine.
At this time!
A hint of bloodthirstiness appeared in Luffy's eyes.
He responded to Arlong:
"Yeah, so what? It's your fault for bullying our navigator."
These words!
Made Nami, who had just arrived, tear up.
Remembering how she!
Treated Luffy and Raynor before!
She felt a burst of regret in her heart!
Then!
She also entered Arlong Park, she wanted to fight alongside Luffy!
Just like that!
Luffy led Raynor and the others, taking a few more steps forward.
And Arlong's top officers also surrounded them.
"You're the first one to dare talk to our boss like that."
Kuro gnashed his teeth, clenching his fists tightly, and stepped forward with his long legs.
"Tch, to deal with trash like you, we don't even need Arlong to take action, we can beat you down."
Hachi also spoke!
The tension between the two sides was getting stronger and stronger!
Finally!
At a certain moment!
The fish-men from Arlong Park, holding swords, slashed towards Raynor and the others.
Their aggressive appearance!
Was quite convincing.
But before they could reach Raynor, Zoro slowly put on his bandana, and Wado Ichimonji was drawn.
Gradually!
Zoro took a stance, a shadow flashing in his eyes.
"One-Sword Style Union, Lion's Song!"
As soon as the words fell!
A roar like a lion seemed to sound!
The cold wind whistled!
The group of fish-man pirates who were rushing towards them!
Were sent flying in an instant!
The group of fish-men fell to the ground with a thud, letting out miserable cries in the air!
Zoro's one slash!
Directly took care of one-third of the fish-men.
Seeing this scene, Arlong frowned, revealing an unbelievable look.
How could this be possible!
It would be amazing if there were one or two strong people in the East Blue.
Why is it that anyone!
Can go against his fish-men.
Is the East Blue!
Really the weakest sea?
At this moment!
Sanji took a puff of his cigarette, and seeing Zoro stealing the show, he coldly put out the cigarette in his hand!
Then he raised his right foot.
Towards the group of fish-men who had just rushed over!
He unleashed a storm of kicks.
His foot speed was so fast!
That even Raynor could only see a blur.
It seems that Sanji's Diable Jambe is starting to show its power.
Sanji's series of kicks sent another third of the fish-men flying out.
Like falling flowers!
They fell into the swimming pool one after another, rolling their eyes.
Seeing this!
Arlong's officers were all stunned!
"Is this really the level of strength!
that should exist in the East Blue?"
Kuro said in shock.
Although there are several pirate groups in the East Blue.
But as far as they know, most of these pirate groups have already gone to the Grand Line.
Those who stay in the East Blue!
Are all trash pirates,
Why!
Are there still so many strong people left?
Arlong has been rampaging in the East Blue for years, and no one dared to provoke him.
Even Marine battleships!
They can sink them.
When have they ever suffered such humiliation?!
At this moment!
The remaining one-third of the fish-man pirates stood there, at a loss.
They couldn't advance, and they couldn't retreat.
If they advance!
Their fate would definitely be as miserable as their companions.
But if they retreat!
Arlong would mercilessly abandon them.
Because the Arlong Pirates do not accept the weak.
Just as they were in a dilemma, Luffy took a step forward and clapped his hands together, hitting fist to palm.
He was eager to try!
Wanting to wipe out all of these fish-man pirates in one fell swoop.
But just as Luffy was about to attack!
He was stopped by Raynor.
Raynor took a step forward, let out a breath and said:
"There's no reason for a captain to fight grunts, your opponent should be that guy."
Saying this!
Raynor pointed in Arlong's direction.
Arlong actually took a step back subconsciously when Raynor pointed at him.
When he realized it!
Arlong gritted his teeth!
Blaming himself for his cowardice.
But it was understandable.
He had just witnessed how strong Raynor's Conqueror's Haki was.
In an instant!
It could take out a crowd of fish-men.
Even he felt a little scared by that super strong Haki.
He didn't know if he could withstand it.
If Raynor were to fight him!
He really wasn't sure he would be his opponent.
But if it was that!
Ordinary Devil Fruit user!
It would be different.
Although Devil Fruits can enhance a person's basic combat abilities.
But if you don't train hard to improve your physical condition or develop your fruit abilities!
Then eating a Devil Fruit!
Is the same as eating a burden.
Looking at that rubber man, with his thin arms and legs, he must not have been exercising much.
Unlike him!
Who had been fighting his whole life.
Although he wasn't as gifted as Jinbe, his decades of combat experience made him certain that his strength could not lose to any pirate in the East Blue!
But only Raynor, this Haki user!
Made him especially wary.
Arlong cautiously looked at Raynor and Luffy, especially Raynor, while Luffy at this time, was also looking at Arlong.
A firm look flashed in his eyes.
Raynor was right!
He shouldn't be fighting those small fry.
The one he has to fight!
Is the culprit who bullied Nami!
Thinking of this, Luffy warmed up his wrists, took two steps forward and said:
"Then I'll leave these guys to you, Raynor!"
Hearing this, Raynor didn't respond, but instead gave a wicked smile.
It couldn't be easier to deal with this group of small fry.
Thinking this!
Raynor then took a step forward.
And before the remaining one-third of the fish-men could say anything.
Raynor directly activated Conqueror's Haki from the three-color Haki!
Streams of purple Haki surged out.
The Haki bar above his head decreased by another twenty points, and in just one second, the group of fish-man pirates was buried in Raynor's hands.
The fish-men all rolled their eyes, lying on the ground with foam at their mouths.
Some of the more seriously injured!
Had even passed away.
Up to this point!
The Haki bar above Raynor's head had only decreased by forty, after only two seconds.
He felt no pressure at all dealing with these trash pirates!
If he released it for one more second, it was estimated that Arlong's officers would also surrender to his Haki.
After all, his Haki!
Can even compete with Mihawk!
Although Mihawk definitely held back!
But thinking of this, Raynor was still a little proud!
