On the small road in front of Cocoyasi Village.
Nami looked at the fish-men corpses ahead, skewered by wooden spikes, and felt an enormous Nami was stunned.
These fish-men from the Arlong Pirates were far stronger than the pirates Roy had killed before!
After all, the physical strength of fish-men was ten times that of ordinary humans!
Yet Nami had never expected that Roy could still instantly kill them with one move.
And it was not just a single fish-man pirate he had instantly killed.
The entire fish-man pirate squad before her…
Had been wiped out by Roy in an instant!
Nami truly had not expected that these fish-men, who were usually so arrogant and domineering, would be so fragile before Roy.
Fragile like easily shattered porcelain.
Just as Nami was shocked by Roy’s strength, the fish-man Arlong finally arrived with his fish-man officers.
“Not good.
Arlong brought his officers over!”
After seeing the fish-man Arlong, Nami’s expression could not help changing.
She had seen Arlong’s strength before.
His power alone was enough to rival hundreds or even thousands of Marine soldiers.
He was a genuine great pirate of East Blue with a bounty of 20 million berries!
In Nami’s eyes, there was basically no pirate in East Blue stronger than Arlong.
His bounty of 20 million berries alone was enough to explain everything.
“Nami, you actually dared to betray the Arlong Pirates and bring an outsider here to kill my brethren!
Today, I’ll kill you myself to avenge them!”
When Kuroobi, the cartilaginous fish-man, saw the fish-men on the road pierced through like skewers, his killing intent toward Nami had already spread outward.
His face was extremely savage, and his murderous intent was fully exposed, enough to make one’s heart turn cold.
The other officers, Chew the kissing gourami fish-man and the octopus Hatchan, also became furious because of the deaths of their fellow fish-men.
Especially since their brethren had died at the hands of a lowly human.
That was something they could not accept.
“Nami, you’ve grown bold!
You actually dared to betray me.
Looks like I’ve been too indulgent with you over the years, giving you the illusion that you can resist me!”
The fish-man Arlong raised the great saw-blade Kiribachi in his right hand, pointed it at Nami, and said with a sinister smile, “Since you betrayed me, you’ll have to pay the price for your betrayal.
You, the brat beside you, and the entire Cocoyasi Village will all be buried with my dead brothers!”
Arlong had originally only planned to slaughter half of Cocoyasi Village to intimidate those who dared to resist.
But after seeing his fish-man subordinates killed, the killing intent in his heart could no longer be restrained.
“Lowly human brat, you’re the one who killed my people, aren’t you!?”
After Arlong finished speaking to Nami, he turned toward Roy, killing intent fully exposed.
“As the price for killing my people, I’ve decided to skin you alive, then smear honey over your exposed flesh and let tens of thousands of ants tear at your body!”
Arlong did not plan to kill this human brat directly, because killing him outright would only be letting him off too easily.
He wanted to torture this human brat until he could neither live nor die!
“Kuroobi, you go capture Nami.
I’ll deal with this human brat!”
After giving the order to Kuroobi beside him, the fish-man Arlong directly swung his great saw-blade Kiribachi and charged toward Roy.
“Brat!
Die!!!!”
Arlong prepared to sever this human brat’s legs with a single slash, depriving him of any means to escape.
However, his great saw-blade Kiribachi did not cut off the human brat’s legs as he had expected.
“What… what kind of ability is this!?
A Devil Fruit user?”
Looking at the huge wooden wall before him that had blocked his great saw-blade’s attack, Arlong was immediately somewhat stunned.
This was the first time he had seen such a strange Devil Fruit ability.
“He’s just a Devil Fruit user.
It’s not like I haven’t killed one before!”
Arlong quickly regained his composure.
Although this Devil Fruit ability was somewhat strange, as long as he fought seriously, he could absolutely kill this human brat.
He had merely been caught off guard.
He did not fear a mere Devil Fruit user from East Blue!
“Shark on Darts!”
Arlong pulled the great saw-blade out from the wooden wall and planted it on the ground, then launched an attack from the side of the wooden wall.
Using his body like a torpedo, he stabbed toward the human brat ahead.
Facing Arlong’s second offensive, Roy’s expression did not fluctuate much.
He directly urged his Wood Release kekkei genkai into motion and summoned a massive wooden pillar from midair.
The huge wooden pillar he summoned descended from the sky and smashed straight down onto Arlong’s back while he was in the middle of his charge, pinning him to the ground.
Arlong spat out a mouthful of blood, his entire body sprawled on the ground in an extremely miserable posture.
The sound of his bones shattering was crisp and clear.
He could feel that his internal organs had been damaged by the impact of the massive wooden pillar pressing down on his back.
Large mouthfuls of blood sprayed out.
His eyes were filled with bloodshot veins!
“I actually couldn’t even dodge a single wooden pillar!”
