Inside the house, Nojiko and Genzo were already stunned.
"So strong!"
"That monster Arlong didn't even have a chance to fight back."
"Is that straw-hatted kid also a monster?"
"His arm can stretch like rubber!"
Watching the shocked expressions of Nojiko and Genzo, Ryujiro didn't feel the slightest bit surprised.
"That's the power of the Devil Fruit."
"Luffy is a Devil Fruit user, having eaten the Gum-Gum Fruit, turning him into a rubber man."
"Devil Fruit?!"
"The legendary treasure of the sea?"
Genzo had heard of Devil Fruit users in his younger days while traveling.
After all, the current three Admirals were also Devil Fruit users, a testament to the terrifying power that Devil Fruit users possess.
"Yes," Ryujiro nodded slightly.
Even though it had only been a few days of training, Zoro and Luffy had been sparring with Ryujiro.
Despite being beaten every time, the effectiveness of their training was remarkable.
Of course, the reason Arlong was getting beaten so badly now was because he underestimated Luffy's strength.
If Arlong had been more serious from the start, he wouldn't have been in such a dire situation.
At this moment, a rare flutter of hope emerged in Nami's long-suppressed heart.
Could they really succeed?
Looking at Luffy wearing the straw hat, it was as if she saw a beacon of light on a dark road, the only hope.
"Arlong!"
"Damn humans!"
Hachi and Kuroobi's fury was ignited. Just as they were about to rush to Arlong's aid, Zoro and Sanji blocked their way.
"We can't let you interfere with our captain."
"Lowly humans, you're asking for death!"
Hachi and Kuroobi were furious, engaging in a fierce battle with Zoro and Sanji.
However, the more they fought, the more alarmed they became.
The overwhelming strength they usually held over humans was not even an advantage against Zoro and Sanji, and they were gradually being suppressed.
"The officers are being overwhelmed!"
"Arlong!"
"Hachi!"
"Damn humans!"
A group of fish-man grunts swarmed forward to assist Arlong, but at that moment, a series of black gunpowder stars flew toward them.
"Kayaku Boshi!"
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Blinding fire instantly ignited, and the charging fish-men were engulfed in the scorching flames, turning them into roasted fish.
"So hot, so hot, so hot!!!!"
"Aye aye aye aye yo!"
Usopp proudly stroked his long nose. "As long as the great Captain Usopp is here, I won't let you harm my comrades."
In truth, his heart was racing: "Thank goodness I hit them; these fish-men are terrifying!"
Clang! Clang!
Arlong, who was buried under the rubble, finally crawled out, sending rocks flying in all directions.
"Damn! Lowly humans! I'll kill you!"
Arlong roared, mustering all his strength as he charged fiercely at Luffy.
His overwhelming killing intent signified his resolve; he was determined to tear Luffy to pieces to intimidate these damned humans.
At the same time, inside the house, Ryujiro's calm expression gradually changed due to a voice.
"Character template successfully loaded. Please check, Host."
Has it finally finished loading?
Ryujiro's face lit up with joy. Since arriving in the One Piece world, the system's character template had been in a loading state, and now it was finally complete.
What character would it be this time?
Ryujiro felt a bit of anticipation.
Entering his mental space, Ryujiro was momentarily stunned by the figure in front of him.
"So it's him."
A figure over 1.9 meters tall, dressed in a black uniform, wearing a black blindfold, with pure white hair standing upright, and a wicked smile curling at the corner of his mouth.
...
"Gojo Satoru."
Ryujiro's lips curled into a slight smile.
The invincible character from Jujutsu Kaisen, Gojo Satoru, was the powerhouse of that world, with cursed techniques that could even interfere with matter at the atomic level and manipulate space.
"What a pleasant surprise."
Hinata, who was beside him, noticed Ryujiro's change and asked, "Ryujiro-kun, is something wrong?"
Ryujiro, brought back to reality by Hinata's voice, smiled and replied, "It's nothing, I just thought of something that made me happy."
This response only confused Hinata further.
"Let's go outside and take a look. We should see these so-called fish-men."
"They are unique creatures in this world."
Nojiko, seeing that Ryujiro and Hinata were about to go outside, quickly called out, "You're going outside?"
"The battle out there is intense right now. If you get caught up in it, you won't be able to escape."
A confident smile appeared on Ryujiro's lips. "Don't worry, I'm invincible."
"Invincible?"
Nojiko's heart trembled, and she stared in a daze at Ryujiro's back.
Is he really invincible?
Just how much does this man trust in his own strength?
At this moment, outside, Hachi and Kuroobi had both been defeated by Zoro and Sanji.
The two fish-men lay in pools of blood, covered in wounds and unconscious, their fates unknown.
Arlong staggered to his feet, his eyes bloodshot as he stared at the unconscious Kuroobi and Hachi lying in their own blood.
"Hachi!"
"Kuroobi!"
These were the brothers who had fought by his side since they left Fish-Man Island together.
"Ahhhh!"
"Damn it! Damn it all!"
"If we were in the sea, you wouldn't stand a chance against me!"
The difference in strength between fish-men on land and in the sea was like night and day. Only the ocean was a fish-man's true domain.
A mere Devil Fruit user, nothing more than a piece of trash abandoned by the sea; if he were in the ocean, he wouldn't be in such a pitiful state.
Arlong's gaze shifted to Nami, and suddenly, an idea flashed through his mind.
"Swish—"
Arlong's speed was lightning-fast. Luffy, thinking Arlong was coming to attack him, readied himself to dodge.
However, Arlong's target wasn't Luffy; it was Nami.
His hand revealed a set of razor-sharp teeth, similar to his own, as he coldly threatened, "Kid, don't move, or I'll slit Nami's throat."
"You bastard! Isn't Nami your comrade?"
"Hahahahahaha!"
Arlong laughed wildly, "Comrade?"
"Don't be ridiculous! You lowly humans don't even qualify to be comrades with fish-men!"
"Nami is nothing but a tool to serve me."
A cruel smile appeared on Arlong's face, and at this moment, Nami's face turned pale, her legs trembling, eyes filled with fear.
"You despicable creature!"
Luffy gritted his teeth, glaring furiously at Arlong.
Just then, even Arlong himself didn't realize that a figure had suddenly appeared beside him as if out of thin air.
Suddenly, Nami felt her entire body lift off the ground, and she was sent flying backward, landing in Luffy's arms.
Ryujiro looked at the furious Arlong in front of him and smiled playfully. "So this is a fish-man?"
"Interesting."
Arlong watched in disbelief as Nami was sent flying into Luffy's arms, his rage boiling over. "What the hell did you do?!"
Boom—!
At that moment, an immense pressure descended upon Arlong.
He, who had been about to make a move, suddenly froze, his fierce gaze turning into one of sheer terror.
His body trembled uncontrollably, the fear piercing through to his soul as if making a move would mean the annihilation of his very being.
Nami's eyes widened in disbelief as she stared at Arlong.
Having spent years by his side, this was the first time she had ever seen Arlong show such a terrified expression.
So even a monster like Arlong can feel fear?
