Meanwhile, in front of Nami, the pillars of light on the three display stands slowly dissipated.
Adam stepped forward and personally retrieved the three items—an ancient-looking scroll, a glowing blue potion, and a profound book—then solemnly placed them into Nami’s hands.
“Miss Nami, these are the items you won at auction.
According to the contract, they belong to you now.” Holding these three heavy treasures, which contained infinite hope, Nami’s hands trembled slightly, and her eyes shimmered with tears of excitement and disbelief.
She had finally obtained them!
“Thank you, Mr.
Adam!” Nami choked out.
“No need to thank me; you earned these with your own determination and price,” Adam said gently.
“Now, you may use them, but before you act, I have a few suggestions.” Nami suppressed the urge to use the treasures immediately and looked at Adam earnestly.
Adam said with a serious expression, “The magic inheritance grants you powerful spiritual power and control over elements.
It will greatly enhance your destructive power and mobility.
With your current level of spiritual power, defeating Arlong will not be a problem.” Suddenly, he changed the subject, “However, a mage’s physical strength usually does not increase at the same rate.” “This means your defense is relatively fragile.
Once you are hit at close range by an enemy skilled in melee combat, especially a strength-based Fishman like Arlong, you could suffer severe injuries.” Nami’s eyes sharpened as she listened carefully.
“Therefore, you must remember two things when fighting,” Adam held up two fingers, “First, keep your distance.
Use your speed and magic advantage to launch long-range attacks, and do not let the enemy get close easily.” “Second, always maintain a defensive magic shield.
This shield is your most important life-saving tool and can block fatal attacks for you.” “A mage’s advantage lies in controlling the battlefield, not in close-quarters combat.” Nami nodded heavily, engraving these words in her heart: “I understand, Mr.
Adam!
Thank you for the reminder!” No longer hesitating, she first uncorked the spiritual power potion and drank the shimmering liquid in one gulp.
A gentle yet vast energy instantly surged through her limbs and bones, finally converging in her mind.
She felt her thinking become clearer than ever, and her perception range expanded dramatically.
Immediately after, she took a deep breath and unfurled the ancient thunder magic inheritance scroll.
“Crackle!” The scroll transformed into a brilliant streak of silver lightning, instantly sinking into the center of her forehead!
A massive torrent of knowledge—the mysteries regarding the perception, condensation, shaping, and release of lightning—was deeply imprinted into her soul like instinct.
At the same time, the Aether Meditation Method also turned into specks of starlight, merging into her consciousness.
This allowed her to instantly learn how to perceive, absorb, and temper spiritual power.
Countless tiny electric arcs jumped and flickered on the surface of her body, emitting a faint crackling sound.
It even made her short orange hair glow slightly.
Powerful!
An incomparably powerful force was flowing docilely through her blood and will!
She turned her head to look in the direction of Arlong Park.
Her gaze was sharper and more determined than ever, as if she had already pierced through space and seen the doom of that Fishman.
“Arlong,” Nami’s voice was low, as if carrying the echo of thunder.
“Your era of ruling Cocoyasi Village ends now!” She turned and bowed solemnly to Adam: “Mr.
Adam, thank you!” “Please give me a moment; I will be right back!” Through the system’s inspection, Adam also saw Nami’s current strength information.
[Nami] [Strength: Early Rear Admiral level] “Go, you are already a member of the Myriad Realms Auction House.” “From now on, just call me Big Brother Lin.
This place will be your solid backing.” Nami nodded heavily and walked to the side of the boat.
She did not choose a small boat; instead, with a thought, she quickly chanted the magic incantation: “Thunder spirits, heed my call, attach to my feet, travel as fast as lightning—Thunder Step!” “Boom!” Amidst a faint rumble of thunder, her figure turned into a bolt of lightning and streaked across the sea surface, disappearing over the horizon after a few leaps.
The villagers on the shore only saw a bolt of lightning shoot out from the ship and were stunned in amazement.
Nami turned into a bolt of lightning and crossed the sea in an instant.
She arrived at Arlong Park, the place she had drawn with her own hands, yet which bore countless humiliations and pains.
The once noisy and bustling park now held nothing but cold hatred in her eyes.
She did not hesitate at all, not even concealing her tracks, and walked straight toward the gate.
The two Fishman lackeys guarding the gate saw that it was Nami.
Their faces wore their usual look of contempt: “Hey, Nami, are you here to pay money so early today?” Nami’s eyes were cold; she didn’t even glance at them.
She simply raised her right hand.
“Condense!
Thunder spirits wandering between heaven and earth, transform into arrows of light that pierce the darkness—Thunder Strike Ray!” “Crackle!” Two thin yet lethal arcs of lightning shot out like spirit snakes.
They accurately struck the hearts of the two Fishmen.
The smiles on their faces froze instantly.
Then they collapsed, their bodies charred, unable to even let out a scream.
The piercing sound of thunder and the smell of burning flesh permeating the air finally alerted the other Fishmen inside the park.
“What’s going on?” “Enemy attack?” Amidst the noisy shouts, more Fishmen rushed out of the buildings.
They were stunned to see Nami standing at the gate, wrapped in fine electric arcs, her eyes as cold as polar ice.
“Nami?
Is this your doing?” “What did you do?!” Nami remembered Adam’s warning and kept her distance from the swarming Fishmen.
She waved her hands and chanted the incantation: “Oh, schools of thunder snakes swimming in the void!” “Respond to my call, gather here, and dance wildly!” “Devour all of my enemies!” “Thunder Snake Frenzy!” As the words fell, dozens of thunder snakes, looking like living creatures, appeared out of thin air, hissing shrilly as they lunged at the swarming Fishmen!
Wherever the thunder snakes passed, the Fishmen were electrocuted, convulsing, screaming as they fell to the ground, and the foul stench of burning flesh filled the air.
In an instant, the perimeter of Arlong Park was in ruins, with the charred corpses of Fishmen lying everywhere.
Hundreds of meters away, Adam watched everything Nami did in silence.
“As expected, having gained power, the hatred suppressed for eight years has erupted instantly,” Adam whispered to himself.
He knew Nami would be fine.
But he still followed her to ensure no accidents occurred.
“Boom!” Another thick bolt of lightning directly shattered the fountain statue in the center of the park!
The huge commotion finally alerted Arlong.
“Who is it!
Daring to run wild on my turf!” A furious roar came from the main building.
Arlong, tall with a long, saw-toothed nose, brought his strongest officers.
Kuroobi, Hatchan, and others walked out, fuming with anger.
When they saw Nami standing in the ruins, electric arcs flickering around her.
Arlong and his officers were stunned.
“Na…
Nami?” Arlong looked at Nami, who seemed like a different person.
Especially the heart-palpitating lightning power on her.
His shark face was full of disbelief and fury: “Nami!
You stinking woman!” “How dare you kill my subordinates!” Arlong’s roar resounded throughout Arlong Park.
He couldn’t understand how the weak Nami, who had always endured, fawned upon him, and desperately drew sea charts to save money in front of him, could possess such terrifying power.
But the charred corpses of his subordinates before him and the dangerous aura emanating from Nami forced him to believe it.
“Kill her!” Arlong was completely enraged.
His saw-toothed nose reflected cold light in the sun, “Tear this traitor to pieces!” Officers Kuroobi and Hatchan immediately rushed up.
Kuroobi assumed the starting stance of Fishman Karate, while Hatchan brandished his six swords.
“Nami!
Why are you doing this!” Hatchan shouted, still somewhat in disbelief.
Nami’s eyes were cold, without a trace of wavering.
Eight years of hatred transformed into the purest power at this moment.
“Why?” Nami’s voice was not loud, but it carried the hum of thunder.
“For Belle-Mere!” “For the villagers of Cocoyasi Village!” “For the eight years of time you stole from us!” Facing the “Fishman Karate: Thousand Brick Fist” that Kuroobi used with all his might.
Nami first cast a defensive buff on herself: “Oh, thunder barrier that protects me!
Appear!” “Thunder Light Shield!” A barrier composed of dense electric arcs instantly appeared in front of her.
Kuroobi’s heavy punch, powerful enough to shatter rock, slammed into the thunder barrier.
Not only did it fail to shake it in the slightest, but the violent current surged along his arm and instantly coursed through his entire body!
“Ahhh!” Kuroobi let out a shrill scream, his strong body convulsing violently, smoking as he fell backward, completely losing consciousness.
“Kuroobi!”
