Chapter 30: Anomaly! The Regressed Fish-Man Arlong!
Ren was surprised. Is Nami's doomsday not Imu? As for Momonga, it was more likely referring to him after he entered the other world.
In Cocoyashi Village, Nami glanced towards Arlong Park. She didn't care about the doomsday. She was already in hell. She gritted her teeth and asked a question.
[Nami: Excuse me, can humans truly defeat Fish-Men?]
[March 7th: What are Fish-Men? Mermaids?]
[Nami: No! They're devils!]
[Saeko Busujima: Nami-san seems to resent them greatly. Did something happen?]
[Nami: They are devils, despicable pirates! They occupied my hometown, plundered our property, and even killed my mother!]
[Saeko Busujima: I'm sorry to have brought up something so painful.]
[Ren: Fish-Men are not invincible. On the contrary, the truly strong in your world are humans. Arlong and his crew are nothing but failures.]
Nami's eyes widened. [Nami: Failures? Humans are strong? How is that possible?]
[Ren: Your horizons are too narrow. In your world, there's a sea called the New World, where pirates with bounties over 100 million are everywhere. The four strongest are called the Four Emperors, and they are all humans, or humans who have eaten Devil Fruits. Fish-Men are even just slaves.]
[Nami: …] New World… Four Emperors… slaves… She had never heard of it.
[Nami: What about you! Can you defeat them?]
[Ren: Me? Arlong and those scums are a one-finger job.]
[Nami: That's great! Can you help me? I'll give you everything! Please save Cocoyashi Village!]
[Ren: I'm sorry... I can't go to your world, unless there is a Doom Companion.]
[Nami: …] Hope, then instantly, despair. She wanted to cry. Suddenly, she saw Fish-Men rushing towards her. At the same time, a new prompt appeared.
[Detected that group member Nami has come into contact with one of the world's Abnormal Doomsday factors, initiating Doom Companion!]
[Doom Companion]: Two people
[Companion Time]: 1 hour
[Companions]: Nami, Ren
[Companion Mission]: Eliminate the Arlong Pirates and the Regressed Fish-Man, Arlong.
[Ren: ???] Regressed Arlong?
[Saeko Busujima: Only Ren-kun has a mission.]
[Exusiai: What's a Regressor?]
[Ren: I might know something. I'll tell you later. I'm going.]
He glanced at the classroom. The moment he confirmed, the world stopped. A portal appeared, and he stepped in.
Cocoyashi Village. "Arlong? What do you want?" Nami stood before him and his crew.
"Nami! Shahahahahaha! Die!" A ferocious aura erupted from him. Arlong had returned regressed. With memories from before his death, he had returned. I could have built a paradise! Damn Nami! Damn Straw Hat Luffy! Regressed, I, Arlong, will personally destroy my enemies! The first is you!
He burst forth. "What!" Nami's eyes blurred, and he was already in front of her. His webbed hand squeezed her neck, lifting her up. "Shahahahahaha! Die, Nami!"
"Ugh!" The sensation of choking came over her. She kicked, trying to pry his hand open, but against a Fish-Man, she couldn't budge him. The Fish-Men behind him cheered.
"Ugh…" The choking grew stronger. Why does he want to kill me? Her consciousness began to blur. What a failed life… Let it end… Belle-mère, I'm coming… She slowly closed her eyes, giving up the struggle.
