"I think you're crazy!"
Arlong's eyes widened, and an angry expression appeared on his face.
Then, as if he thought of something else, the anger on his face disappeared, and the corners of his mouth slightly curved upward.
"Don't worry, Nami, I won't kill you easily. A traitor must face a traitor's fate."
"Later, I'll send someone to dig out the money you hid, and then tie up those guys from Coco Village and slaughter them all in front of you!"
Nami's eyes widened in surprise: "How do you know where I hid the money?"
"Foolish! Do you really think I don't know about your little secret actions?!"
Arlong's smile gradually became ferocious: "My agreement with you was just to play with you."
"I didn't bother with you before because you still had value."
"Since you chose to betray me, you're useless now!"
Ben Zi Na: "This guy is so annoying!"
Kaguya-sama: "Indeed."
Hanma: "Although it's disgusting, this guy's strength is quite strong."
Flower Pillar of the Demon Slayer Corps: "To withstand that explosion head-on without significant injury, he's indeed not simple."
That was a special product she specifically requested from Uzui Tengen, and its power was more than a level higher than ordinary explosives.
To be able to withstand it head-on, the opponent's physical fitness is truly astonishingly high.
[Sword Maiden has joined the chat group.]
[Avenger has joined the chat group.]
Ben Zi Na: "Huh? Newcomers!"
Avenger: "What is this? Newly developed high-tech?"
Ben Zi Na: "It's not high-tech. The Multiverse Chat Group is a place where people from different worlds can communicate and chat with each other."
Avenger: "People from different worlds?"
In the cramped office, Tendo Kisara frowned, looking confused at the screen that had suddenly appeared before her.
Kaguya-sama: "It's too troublesome to explain in detail. Nami is live-streaming right now, you can click in and watch."
"Live-streaming?"
Tendo Kisara scanned the chat group interface and quickly found the icon representing the group live stream.
[Avenger has joined the live stream room.]
[Sword Maiden has joined the live stream room.]
Flower Pillar of the Demon Slayer Corps: "It seems the other newcomer has been lurking. How cautious."
Avenger: "This is... a new type of Gastrea?"
Looking at Arlong on the screen, a hint of doubt flashed in Tendo Kisara's eyes.
Doesn't look like it.
There's no Gastrea that looks like that.
Moreover, Gastrea have strong regenerative abilities, but there was no sign of regeneration on Arlong's body in the screen.
Just as Tendo Kisara was racking her brain, Nami herself popped up to reply.
Nami: "@Avenger, Arlong is a fish-man, a special race living under the sea."
Ben Zi Na: "Nami, you still have the mind to idle in the group?"
Nami: "Anyway, Lin Que has arrived, there's nothing to be afraid of anymore."
Nami looked up, at the familiar yet unfamiliar figure in front of her.
"Who are you?!"
Arlong's face showed a serious expression.
The other party appeared too suddenly.
One second he was intimidating Nami, the next second the other party appeared between them, the entire process without causing the slightest stir.
Unlike the ignorant pirates of the East Blue, Arlong had come from the Grand Line.
As a former member of the Sun Pirates, he knew very well how terrifying the true powerhouses of this world were.
The fact that this man could approach so silently meant his strength was far from simple.
"What are you going to do?"
Ignoring the seemingly fierce but cowardly Arlong in front of him, Lin Que looked at Nami.
"Should I just finish him with one punch?"
"Or should I subdue him for you, and you do it yourself?"
Nami's eyes were filled with murderous intent as she looked at Arlong: "If it's not too much trouble, I'd like to do it myself."
"You two, don't go too far!"
Arlong roared: "Do you know who I am, to actually..."
Boom—!
Before Arlong could finish speaking, a massive force suddenly came from behind him.
Without any resistance, his entire body was embedded in the ground.
"Sorry, I'm a bit impatient, I accidentally interrupted you."
Crouching down, Lin Que reached out, grabbed Arlong's head, and shook it.
"Alright, you can continue. Who are you?"
"Let Arlong go!"
Unexpectedly, a burly Merman suddenly leaped out of the water and attacked Lin Que.
"There really are people who aren't afraid of death."
Easily blocking the opponent's fist with a single finger, Lin Que glanced at Nami.
"Should I keep this one?"
"No need!"
Nami stared intently at Arlong: "You can deal with the other Mermen however you like! The only one I want to personally deal with is him!"
Bang—!
As soon as Nami's words fell, the Merman in front of Lin Que instantly exploded, turning into a bloody rain that fell into the pool behind him.
After dealing with this suddenly appearing Merman, Lin Que did not stop there.
After listening to the sounds from around him, he suddenly stomped his left foot on the ground.
Dozens of stones of varying sizes flew up from the ground, then flew into various corners in the next second.
Pfft~! Pfft~! Pfft~!
"Done."
Lin Que looked at Arlong, who was lying on the ground beside him: "Now, he's the only Merman left on this island."
"Wait! Don't kill me!"
Arlong's eyes were filled with fear.
Too strong.
Completely not on the same level.
In front of him, his proud strength was as laughable as a child's.
His own life was completely out of his control.
"I know the Warlord of the Sea Jinbe! He's my good friend!"
To save his life, Arlong began to fabricate things: "If you kill me, he will definitely seek revenge for me when he hears the news!"
"Then no one in Coco Village will survive!"
"Then let him come!"
Picking up an axe that had flown from who knows where, Nami walked in front of him.
With the chat group helping her continuously grow stronger, and Lin Que as her backing, her confidence was more than sufficient.
"If he doesn't come, I'll personally go find him then!"
"As for despicable pirates like you, I will definitely kill every single one I see!"
...
On the calm sea, a small boat floated quietly.
Suddenly, a surprised and uncertain voice sounded from the boat.
"Oh?"
Hawkeye, who was silently savoring red wine, raised his head and looked sharply in Lin Que's direction.
"This aura... interesting."
He had thought it was just a chase game to pass the time.
Unexpectedly, there was an unexpected gain.
Turning the direction of the bow, Hawkeye headed towards Coco Village.
