“Arlong was dealt with by Roy so easily too!”
When Nami saw Arlong pinned beneath the wooden pillar, coughing up blood and already on the verge of death, the Nami was stunned became impossible to describe.
“Boss!”
Kuroobi, who had originally been preparing to attack Nami, hurriedly rushed toward Arlong.
Then he wrapped both hands around the pillar pressing down on Arlong’s back, attempting to move it away and save Arlong.
“Boss Arlong actually isn’t a match for this human brat!”
Some fish-man underlings saw Arlong defeated and suppressed, and their pupils filled with intense fear!
Their faces were full of disbelief.
“Attack!
Everyone, follow me and kill this brat to avenge Boss Arlong!”
Chew, the kissing gourami fish-man and an officer of the Arlong Pirates, gnashed his teeth and gave an order to the subordinates beside him.
In a one-on-one fight, they were not this human brat’s match.
Only by attacking together and ganging up on him would they have a chance to defeat this human brat!
After giving the order, Chew was the first to launch an attack on Roy.
“Water Shot!”
Roy looked at the kissing gourami fish-man spitting a water cannon at him.
He directly raised his right hand and aimed it at Chew.
Then he activated his Wood Release kekkei genkai—
Wood Release: Piercing Cone!
The wooden cone that shot from Roy’s palm instantly scattered the incoming water cannon.
After breaking through the Water Shot, its momentum did not weaken at all.
It directly blasted apart the kissing gourami fish-man’s entire head!
Bang, bang, bang!
As Roy dealt with Chew, some fish-men opened fire with pistols.
“Damn human brat!
Kuroobi, the cartilaginous fish-man officer of the Arlong Pirates, desperately pulled up the wooden pillar pressing down on Boss Arlong’s back and knocked it to the ground.
Then he also launched an attack on Roy.
“Fish-Man Karate: Thousand-Tile True Punch!”
At the same time, Hatchan, the octopus fish-man officer, also attacked Roy.
“Six Sword Style: Takotsubo no Kamae!”
Roy looked at the attacks coming from every direction, brought his hands together, then activated Wood Release twice in succession.
“Wood Release: Four-Way Protection!”
“Wood Release: Earth Dragon Thrust!”
Earth Dragon Thrust was an upgraded version of Ground Spikes
Countless massive earth-dragon-like spikes suddenly burst from the ground beneath the fish-men’s feet.
They directly pierced through the fish-men and suspended them in midair.
This move, Earth Dragon Thrust, was something Roy had adapted from Dance of the Seedling Fern, the technique used by Kimimaro, the wielder of the Shikotsumyaku kekkei genkai in Naruto.
In terms of power, it was no weaker than Kimimaro’s Dance of the Seedling Fern, which created a forest of bone spikes!
“They’re dead.
The people of the Arlong Pirates were all instantly killed by Roy alone!”
After the four-sided wooden walls disappeared, Nami saw the small forest of wooden spikes ahead, as well as the fish-man pirates pierced through and hanging in midair.
She was so shocked that she did not know what to say.
No one was more shaken than Nami, because she had experienced too much over the years.
She had been oppressed by the Arlong Pirates until now, and there had even been times when she had almost given up the idea of resisting.
But she had never expected that the Arlong Pirates, who had seemed overwhelmingly powerful in her eyes…
They were helpless before Roy
At that moment, tears flowed down from the corners of Nami’s eyes.
The Arlong Pirates had been destroyed!
Roy looked at Nami as she suddenly began crying, his expression not changing much.
He was not surprised at all that Nami would react so strongly.
After all, he had seen the original story.
He knew just how much pressure Nami had endured at such a young age.
Nami had protected Cocoyasi Village all by herself.
She had even wanted to earn one hundred million berries through her own strength and buy back the village.
The pressure she endured every day was something no one else could imagine.
Now that Nami had seen the Arlong Pirates destroyed…
It was only natural for her to show this kind of emotion and have this kind of reaction.
The Arlong Pirates he had casually destroyed…
Could this be considered giving Nami help in her time of need?
“Thank you, Roy.
Really… thank you… At first, I didn’t trust you at all, but you didn’t hold it against me.
And you even saved the village, saved everyone…”
Nami wiped the tears from her cheeks, but she still could not stop sobbing as she thanked Roy.
Roy explained, “It was only something I did in passing.
Those fish-men were the ones who attacked me first.
I only fought back.”
After hearing Roy’s explanation, Nami still cried as she thanked him.
“Thank you for saving Cocoyasi Village and the twenty-some villages nearby!”
She truly did not know what she should say to express the gratitude in her heart.
So much so that she said the same words of thanks twice.
