At this moment, Arlong had put away his cruel smile, and as he looked at the corpses of his kin covering the ground, his whole body began to tremble.
“Unforgivable, unforgivable, you…
actually dared to kill our noble Fishmen.
I will kill you, I will kill you.” As a racist who held his own kind in high regard, Arlong was thoroughly enraged.
“I will have you buried with everyone in this village!” With that, Arlong leaped into the air, spinning like a torpedo as he charged towards Lucas.
This was one of Arlong’s skills, piercing his opponent with his serrated nose.
However, facing this move, Lucas’s right hand suddenly turned black, and Armament Haki covered his right arm.
He then smashed his fist forward.
Just like Garp smashing Chinjao.
With this punch fueled by Armament Haki, Arlong’s nose snapped instantly.
Not only that, but more than half of Arlong’s sharp teeth were also knocked out by Lucas’s punch.
“Ah…” Arlong screamed as he flew away, his face covered in blood.
“Let me show you my two-sword style!” Lucas said.
He drew Shuro and the elephant blade from his waist.
“Two-sword Style, Wind Blade!”
Swinging his two blades in a cross, two whirlwinds several meters wide swept toward Arlong.
When the whirlwinds dissipated, Arlong fell from the sky to the ground.
He was covered in wounds, cut by the wind blades carried within the whirlwinds.
“D-damn human!” Arlong’s vitality was truly tenacious; even like this, he didn’t die.
But when Lucas used Steel Tempest, it directly ended Arlong’s sinful life.
At the same time, a warm current flowed into Lucas’s body, strengthening his physique.
This was Arlong’s parting gift; he was indeed generous.
[Congratulations to the host for completing the mission: Wind Rises in the East Blue.
Devil Fruit ability increased by one star, swordsmanship ability increased by one star.]
Following the system’s notification, Lucas clearly felt his swordsmanship and Devil Fruit ability increase.
[Host’s combat power has reached A-rank, obtained one lottery chance.]
Just as Lucas was finishing off the Arlong Pirates, the warship carrying Lieutenant Zabu and Jango also encountered trouble.
They were rammed by the Arlong Pirates’ pet, Momoo.
In the end, it was Jango who stepped in, using hypnosis to put Momoo to sleep.
By the time they docked, Lucas had already ended the battle.
“Belle-Mere thanks you for saving my life, Captain.” After being rescued, Belle-Mere gave Lucas a standard Marine salute.
Belle-Mere had once been a Marine, and later adopted Nojiko and Nami, which was why she had returned to live in Cocoyasi Village.
Lucas shook his head: “Protecting villagers and killing pirates is the responsibility of the Marines; there is nothing to thank me for.”
As he spoke, he looked at the little girl with orange hair hiding behind Belle-Mere, then crouched down, ruffled her hair, and said:
“Don’t become a pirate in the future, okay?
Otherwise, Big Brother will catch you himself.”
“Mhm, pirates are all bad guys, Nami doesn’t want to be a pirate.” The little girl nodded vigorously and said.
Lucas smiled, stood up, and said: “I should go.
The disaster has passed, and dawn is right before you.”
With these words, Lucas turned and walked toward his warship.
“Captain, there is still one alive.” Lieutenant Zabu said, dragging a six-armed Fishman.
“Hatchan!” Lucas recognized him at a glance.
Hatchan’s body structure was special, so Lucas’s sword strike had only wounded him, not killed him.
“We don’t need prisoners.” Leaving these words behind, Lucas continued walking toward the warship.
In the One Piece storyline, Hatchan had quite a significant role, but for Lucas, a pirate was a pirate.
Hatchan followed Arlong, and he surely had plenty of innocent blood on his hands.
Nami, still a little girl, watched Lucas gradually moving away, and her eyes could not help but shine with a glow.
It was a glow of admiration.
After all, what little girl wouldn’t admire a great hero who descended from the sky to save her!
…
Returning to the warship, Lucas glanced at Momoo, who was hypnotized by Jango, and slowly set sail.
And Momoo followed behind.
However, they hadn’t gone far before a warship sailed toward them from the opposite direction.
“Stop!
Which branch of the Marines are you from?” The warship blocked Lucas’s warship directly.
“G-5 Base, Second Patrol Squad!” Lieutenant Zabu shouted.
“What are people from G-5 doing in our G-2 waters?” A Marine who looked very much like a mouse asked.
Seeing this person’s appearance, Lucas narrowed his eyes, then stood up and walked to the ship’s railing.
“You must be Captain Nezumi.
Arlong of the Arlong Pirates has already told us about your collusion.”
This statement shocked Captain Nezumi, and he felt even more flustered, but then his eyes darted around, and he shouted:
“Nonsense!
I now have reason to suspect that you are pirates posing as Marines.
How could Marines from G-5 Base come to our G-2 waters?”
As he spoke, Captain Nezumi waved his hand.
His subordinates understood immediately and pushed several cannons to aim at Lucas’s patrol warship.
“Truly, birds of a feather flock together.”
As he spoke, Lucas placed his hand on Shuro.
A fierce sword aura began to surge around Lucas, accompanied by a breeze that stirred his black hair.
“Face the wind!”
Whoosh!
A massive tornado, fully ten meters wide, flew out from Lucas’s sword.
“Ah…
Ah…” Seeing this scene, Captain Nezumi couldn’t help but widen his eyes, retreating in panic, while shouting:
“Turn the helm to the left, quickly!”
But the two warships were too close; there was no time.
The tornado ultimately swept over Captain Nezumi’s warship with destructive force.
When the storm ceased, Captain Nezumi’s warship had already been destroyed.
Most of the Marines also perished beneath the tornado.
“Lieutenant Zabu, capture those still alive, escort them to G-5, and return!” Lucas sheathed his sword and said coldly.
“Yes!” Lieutenant Zabu responded loudly.
Afterward, he approached Lucas with some concern: “Captain, killing a Marine Captain in another sea area, how are we going to explain this to Base Commander Kadaru when we get back?”
“Interrogate those surviving Marines properly, and extract the details of Nezumi’s crimes.
With that, it will be easy to explain.” Lucas instructed.
“But…
even if Captain Nezumi committed crimes, it’s not our place to handle it,” Lieutenant Zabu said.
“Lieutenant Zabu, do whatever the Captain says.
How dare you question the Captain.” Jango walked over with his unique dance steps and then righteously reprimanded Lieutenant Zabu.
Hearing this, Lieutenant Zabu was furious.
You, a private, actually dare to compete with me?
“Private Jango, I now order you to scrub the deck.” Lieutenant Zabu said loudly.
