Seeing Nami take the initiative to attack, Arlong knew that his previous threats no longer worked on her.
He immediately roared, "We can attack her with seawater, everyone attack together."
Seawater was the bane of all Devil Fruit Users, and Logia-types were no exception.
"Kill her!!!"
"Nami, you traitorous bitch!!!"
"Awooooh!!!"
A group of Fishmen howled like ghosts and wolves, striking the seawater and launching attacks at Nami.
Before this, Nami was nothing more than a clown for their amusement. What right did she have to act so arrogantly in front of them?!
"Thunderbolt!!!"
Nami spoke expressionlessly, and as she pressed her palm down, silver lightning bolts fell from the sky.
Boom boom boom
Thick lightning bolts struck the attacking Fishmen without warning. Some weaker Fishmen immediately rolled their eyes and floated belly-up.
"Arlong, all the pain of these past eight years, I'm returning it to you today!!!"
"All of you, die!!!"
Boom boom boom
Boom boom boom!
Dense Thunder Power enveloped the entire Arlong Park, cutting off all escape routes for the Fishmen and beginning an indiscriminate area-of-effect attack.
"Captain, save me!!!"
"Oh my, run!"
Under Nami's control, the silver-white Thunder Power weaved and darted like venomous snakes.
It harvested the lives of Fishman after Fishman.
Screams, sharp and tragic, echoed throughout the entire Park.
The massive commotion attracted the attention of the Cocoyasi Village villagers.
When they saw the horrifying scene, their eyes widened, filled with an expression of disbelief.
That person is... Nami?!
At this moment, Arlong Park had completely transformed into a graveyard for the Fishmen.
In just a short while, more than half of the Fishmen had died under the Thunder Power.
In front of the Thunder Power, which resembled a natural disaster, these Fishmen had no power to resist.
"Not enough, not enough!!!" Nami's eyes were filled with indifference, and disregarding the drain on her, she increased the Thunder Power output again.
Rumble rumble!
Rumble rumble!
Thunder Power as thick as a bowl fell with force, causing the buildings within Arlong Park to collapse one after another, kicking up a sky full of dust.
The remaining Fishmen no longer harbored any thoughts of resistance and began to scatter, clutching their heads.
Some unlucky fellows were directly crushed into fish paste by the collapsing buildings.
"It seems Nami is really angry now."
On the going merry, Kaya and Makino watched the scene below, secretly clicking their tongues.
This was the first time they had seen Nami so violent and ferocious.
"Let Nami vent properly."
Reno deeply understood Nami's feelings at this moment.
Eight years of resentment, let it all be released today.
Under the continuous bombardment of Thunder Power, Arlong Park was completely reduced to ruins.
Curious villagers came at the sound, gathering at the entrance of Arlong Park.
Nami's face was flushed, and she was panting slightly.
A few minutes later, the Thunder Power abruptly stopped, the sounds subsided, and the ground turned scorched black.
"Arlong, get out here!!!"
Most of Nami's attention was on Arlong; she knew Arlong wasn't dead.
"Cough cough."
From a certain ruin, a coughing sound came.
"Nami!!!!"
A hateful voice, as if from hell, rang out.
The next second, Arlong pushed aside the debris covering him and crawled out in a disheveled state.
His eyes were bloodshot, and half of his saw-like nose was broken off.
Under the continuous bombardment of Thunder Power, Arlong, though he miraculously survived, was severely injured.
"Hehehe, Arlong, your vitality is truly tenacious."
"All your companions are dead, and only you survived."
Nami's playful voice came.
Arlong breathed heavily, and as the dust cleared, he looked at the ruins before him.
All his Fishman companions were dead.
Most of them died under the Thunder Power, and a small portion were crushed by the collapsing buildings.
Even Hachi in the pool could not escape his fate.
Now, only he was barely clinging to life.
"Nami!!!"
"You deserve to die!!!"
Arlong roared, his eyes splitting with fury, his shouts echoing across the sky.
Nami walked towards Arlong with an expressionless face, a mocking arc on her lips, and sneered:
"Arlong, the pain you've endured is not even half of mine!!!"
"Thunder Spear!!!"
A Thunder Spear, condensed with high-density Thunder Power, slowly formed, its tip pointing directly at Arlong.
"Nami, I'll kill you!!!!"
Knowing he had nowhere to run, Arlong roared, charging at Nami with his last ounce of determination.
Nami showed a cruel, cold smile and mercilessly threw the Thunder Spear.
With a whoosh, the Thunder Spear instantly pierced through Arlong's body.
Thunder Power poured in, furiously destroying Arlong's bodily functions.
Arlong, his strength exhausted, could no longer stand and fell heavily into a pool of blood.
He twitched all over, barely clinging to life.
Nami slowly walked forward, looking down at Arlong.
Like a Thunder Queen gazing upon an ant.
"Arlong, look at your pathetic state now."
Arlong could no longer speak, but he still glared at Nami with venomous eyes.
"Down below, repent for my adoptive mother, for all the people you killed."
Nami extended her palm, and terrifying Thunder Power erupted again.
With a bang, Arlong's head exploded.
Looking at Arlong, who was undeniably dead, Nami felt a moment of trance.
Did she really do this?!
The Arlong she once considered invincible had actually died by her hand.
With a 'click'.
A certain shackle within Nami's heart seemed to have broken.
Coming back to her senses, Nami looked up at the sky and whispered, "Mother, I killed Arlong. You can rest in peace now."
Just then, Reno, with Kaya and Makino, floated down.
The going merry was still being held in the air by the island cloud.
Coming to Nami's side, Reno gently embraced Nami and softly said, "It's all over."
Nami nodded heavily, looking at Reno with gratitude.
Meeting Reno was the luckiest thing that had ever happened to her.
He had granted her a new life.
"Reno, let me take you to my house. My sister will be so happy if she knows Arlong is dead." Nami took Reno's hand proactively.
Reno smiled and shook his head, "Don't rush, there's still a fish that slipped through the net."
"Get out here!!!"
