"You dare to be arrogant in front of me?"
Ron snorted, and with a movement of his feet, the full extent of his skill was launched in a swift stride, almost flying. At a distance of 15 meters, he jumped directly from the deck of the Going Merry and landed on the shore.
"Huh?"
Arlong and a group of Fishmen's expressions suddenly changed, and one by one, they took several steps backward.
Ron looked at Arlong coldly, he reached and pulled out Sandai Kitetsu which was worn at his waist. Although Sandai Kitetsu was not as powerful as the sword he had personally forged, it was still a cursed blade that could bring more painful damage to the enemy. Ron saw that Arlong was very unhappy, and he was ready to take him down with the blade.
'This boy is not weak!' Arlong's eyes narrowed slightly. He could tell from the momentum of Ron's leap just now that his opponent's strength was not weak. As soon as his figure moved, he jumped towards the harbor beside him.
Of course, he did not want to escape because the fighting power of the Fishmen in the water was the strongest, and Arlong was ready to use all his strength to fight Ron.
Ron drew out Sandai Kitetsu and slashed down, but the target was not Arlong who jumped into the sea, but the other Fishmen with weapons.
With one stroke, these Fishmen were all bisected and killed instantly. All but a few who hid far away could escape with their lives.
"Too terrible!" An octopus man hiding in the distance watched this scene tremblingly, holding his head and lying on the ground, not daring to make the slightest movement.
The other Fishmen who were lucky enough not to die were similar, one by one, trembling with fear, hoping that their leader Arlong would be able to defeat this terrible enemy.
Ron solved most of the Fishmen with a sword slash and slowly turned around to look at Arlong in the sea.
At this moment, Arlong who had dived into the depths of the sea could clearly feel the strength and power in his body. "Hahaha, in the sea, it is when my strength is at its strongest. Boy, you dare to come to my Arlong pirates and make trouble, just be ready to die!"
"Huh!" Ron's face remained unchanged, not at all frightened by the powerful force of Arlong's sudden attack. Sandai Kitetsu in his hand was raised, and the sword slashed out "Basic Sword Technique: Slashing!" (T/N: Kinda dull if you asked me but then again his swordsmanship is just basic swordsmanship, just that he mastered that BASIC swordsmanship to an unparalleled level and to use it effortlessly his physique and perception also grew with it, but it is still just BASIC swordsmanship)
Ron made used and ordinary slash using basic swordsmanship. The sword flashed, and with a click, Ron sheathed the sword and stood straight.
Plop, Plop,...
Arlong's body was cut in half, falling to the ground on both sides of Ron. On Arlong's face which was cut in half, a look of disbelief was shown, he could not believe that his incredibly powerful move could be defeated by this ordinary sword move.
"Ahh!!!" The Fishmen who survived saw this and screamed in fear.
"The boss.. the boss is dead!"
"Oh my God, the boss was killed!"
"Captain Arlong!!!"
The Fishmen were so frightened that they wanted to escape, but Ron looked at them indifferently and said, "Who dares to escape?"
"Ahh..."
All the Fishmen who wanted to escape were stiff and did not dare to make the slightest movement.
At this time, the Going Merry finally docked. Nami, Tashigi, and the other girls walked down the deck, looking at the messy scene. Kaya and Makino looked a little uneasy, after all, they had not seen too many bloody scenes. Tashigi and Nami did not react much; the two of them had been mixed up on the major islands for many years, involved in the battles between the marines and pirates, and had witnessed many scenes of death.
"I didn't expect that Arlong and his gang would be solved so easily!" Nami said with a complicated look. Arlong and his gang had been a big mountain that had been her nightmares since childhood. Now, Ron had dealt with them effortlessly, making her lament about the benefits of having great power.
"Nami!" Makino turned her head away from the bloody scene on the ground and said to Nami, "Ron killed these Fishmen, and the problem of your hometown has been resolved, right?"
"Hmmm!" Nami pursed her lips, with a slight excitement in her eyes as she looked at Ron. "Thank you, Ron. Our village can finally escape from the clutches of Arlong and his gang of pirates!"
Ron smiled slightly, put away the sword in his hand, and said casually, "You are the navigator on my ship. You've been bullied, how can I ignore it? By the way, do you know where Arlong hid the treasure? Will you go and find their treasure first, and then go to your hometown to see it?"
"Well, I probably know something, plus a few are surviving Fishmen here. With them leading the way, we should be able to find the treasure!" Nami nodded, then said, "I'll leave it to you!"
"Hmmm!" Ron nodded, watching Nami walk towards the base where the Arlong pirates used to live. Ron noticed that Kaya looked a little unwell out of the corner of his eye. Understanding that the bloody scene in front of her frightened the girl, he walked to the side, smashed a large pit on the ground with his fist, and then threw all the Fishmen's bodies into the pit, burying them casually. This would be handed over to the villagers to deal with later, just a temporary measure for now.
