Arlong was lounging on a beach chair, hands crossed behind his head, lazily soaking up the sun, pondering how long it would take to return to the Grand Line.
When the time came, he would prove to the world that humans were nothing but inferior creatures before fishmen. The whole of Fishman Island...
"Boom!" A sound shattered the peaceful atmosphere, startling Hatchan and Chew.
Arlong also sat up, furrowing his brow, his gaze filled with murderous intent as he looked toward the collapsed wall.
At that moment, the air seemed to freeze.
Clear footsteps echoed from the smoke, filling every person's ears, an invisible pressure permeating the entire space.
The newcomer was hostile! Arlong gestured, and the fishmen who were resting all picked up their weapons, lying in ambush nearby.
Soon, a black figure emerged from the smoke.
As officers of the Arlong Pirates, Kuroobi and Chew exchanged a glance.
Without hesitation, they charged into the smoke from both sides, intending to strike first.
"Crack!" A crisp sound of bones cracking emanated from the smoke, and the fishmen around wore relaxed expressions.
In their view, with the two officers attacking together, they could surely kill the assailant.
Arlong's furrowed brow gradually relaxed, but he still harbored some doubts.
The next moment, the sound of footsteps echoed again, but this time, it made Arlong extremely vigilant.
Because these footsteps still belonged to a single person.
As the smoke cleared, Byakuya appeared unharmed before everyone, with the bodies of Kuroobi and Chew lying at his feet.
The heads and necks of the two fishmen were almost at a ninety-degree angle, clearly indicating that their spines had been forcibly snapped.
Arlong, noticing this, felt a shiver down his spine.
Because it meant that the enemy before them had instantly taken care of both Chew and Kuroobi.
Only this could explain the sound of bones cracking.
The enemy was exceptionally powerful!
"You despicable, damned human! How dare you kill the great fishmen?"
"Despicable human? Trash like you, who fled from the Grand Line, can only bully ordinary people without any strength in the weakest East Blue."
"When Vice Admiral Kizaru who is now Admiral captured you, why didn't you call him a despicable human?"
"If it weren't for Jinbei choosing to become one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, scum like you... no, fish scum like you, should have been left to die in the Impel Down."
Arlong tensed his muscles at the words, unconsciously gripping his blade tighter.
He hadn't expected the mysterious person before him to know his origins and also mentioned his lifelong shame, Kizaru.
That extremely powerful man who, with just one blow, left him severely injured, forcing him to be captured by humans. This was his deepest shame.
Arlong tensed, "Who are you exactly? Are you also from the Grand Line?"
Byakuya smiled, "Guess."
Arlong didn't waste time with Byakuya anymore, immediately ordering all the fishmen to attack.
Seeing this, Byakuya secretly calculated whether he should also cultivate a group of subordinates.
Otherwise, having to handle everything personally was not only unimpressive but also quite exhausting.
Amidst his contemplation, Byakuya effortlessly evaded the attacks of numerous fishmen.
As fleeting figures flashed past, Byakuya drew closer to Arlong. In Arlong's terrified eyes, Byakuya appeared before him.
"Regardless of who you are, today you will pay with your life for Kuroobi and Chew!"
Arlong yelled, emboldening himself, drawing his Kiribachi from behind and striking first. "Nuisance!"
Byakuya unleashed a punch, accompanied by a piercing sound as it forcefully split the Kiribachi in mid-air into a "V" shape.
Arlong's hands were directly torn apart by the immense force, blood staining his arms red as he was sent flying and crashed into the wall.
Staring at the completely wrecked Kiribachi, Arlong trembled, "How... is this possible?"
This was the weapon he had crafted with the finest metal from Fishman Island and the best blacksmith.
Yet, it was destroyed with just one punch. Byakuya expressed surprise,
"Huh, didn't expect a single punch wouldn't kill you."
Although it was just a casual punch, the fact that Arlong could withstand it without dying was indeed unexpected.
Arlong leaned against the wall, struggling to stand, his hands twitching uncontrollably due to the intense pain, unable to exert any strength.
"Who are you? You must be from the Grand Line, right? There's no way there could be someone this strong in the East Blue!"
Byakuya chuckled, "Guess!"
"You!" Arlong, already heavily injured from Byakuya's punch, was further enraged by his words, spitting out blood and almost choking on it.
Nami, who was peeking from a distance, watched as the immensely powerful Arlong appeared helpless before Byakuya, like a child, completely unable to retaliate.
Her heart filled with excitement, knowing that Cocoyasi Village had finally seen the light.
Seeing Byakuya almost suffocate Arlong with his words, her eyes curved into crescents, nearly bursting into laughter.
Hearing the commotion from the Fishman District, Cocoyasi Village's police officer, Genzo, hurried over to check the situation.
Upon arrival, he saw Nami sneaking around like a little cat, peeking at something, so he quietly asked,
"Nami, what exactly happened here? Have these fishmen gone crazy again?"
"These darn fishmen will eventually destroy Cocoyasi Village!"
Nami turned to look at the worried Genzo, sharing her joy, and exclaimed,
"Uncle Genzo, Cocoyasi Village is saved! We no longer have to suffer under the tyranny of the Arlong Pirates."
"What?" Genzo looked shocked, unable to believe it, and asked,
"Did you already gather one hundred million berries to redeem Cocoyasi Village from the Arlong Pirates?"
"Of course not, I still need a lot more berries," Nami replied. Then, she realized something and asked with some confusion,
"Huh? Uncle Genzo, how did you know that I needed to gather one hundred million berries?"
Genzo hesitated, "Um, well, everyone actually knows about it, but we didn't want to put too much pressure on you, so we didn't tell you."
"You guys... forget it, anyway, from today onwards, Cocoyasi Village's history will be rewritten."
With that, Nami showed Genzo what was happening in the Fishman District.
At the sight, Genzo was startled, his eyes widened, his mouth agape, and he stuttered, "Th-this, that young man, he... he killed Arlong."
Nami looked at Genzo's surprised expression and couldn't help but chuckle, "He's impressive, isn't he?"
"He's the one you brought here? Do you know him?"
Nami happily replied, "Yeah, I found him at the sea.' He said he's a Marine Ensign, and he came specifically to deal with Arlong."
"Found him at the sea? Marine Ensign? And he managed to kill Arlong?" Genzo's expression was dumbfounded. Can this even be true?
