"Captain Arlong!"
Kuroobi, a ray-man, immediately jumped into the water when he saw his boss, Arlong, defeated.
His signature move, Thousand Brick Fist, could shatter a thousand bricks underwater, making it certain death for ordinary people to fight him in the water.
Following the current, he intended to unleash his ultimate move.
However, he felt a sense of powerlessness; he didn't have the Fish-Man's ability to move freely underwater, feeling as weak as a human who couldn't swim.
"What's going on?"
Kuroobi climbed onto the ship in a panic, looking at his hands; he was still a Fish-Man, but had even his swimming advantage been stripped away?
"Idiots, you don't understand the mystery and power of the Game Merchant!"
Nami looked at the panicking Fish-Men indifferently, then unleashed two improved Star Balls in quick succession; the electric snakes, like lightning chains, linked them together, turning them all into white light.
Doing this wouldn't truly kill them.
Nami knew very well that this was just taking back some interest.
The suffering of the Cocoyasi Village villagers, Belle-mère's death—everything would be settled once they were outside the game.
"We are united Fish-Men, absolutely impossible to defeat!"
"Boss Arlong will soon gain powerful abilities in the Trial Tower; just you wait!"
Kiss Fish-Man and Salt-Grilled Fish-Man glared at Nami, but dared not make a move to retaliate.
They were afraid of being killed by Nami again, as that would mean another huge expense in Beri for resurrection.
Luffy asked curiously, "Nami, do you have a grudge against them?"
"The village I lived in was enslaved by them; they killed my mother and imprisoned me to draw sea charts for them."
When Nami said this, her eyes were unusually calm.
Perhaps it was the confidence that came from being able to defeat Arlong.
She could have chosen not to answer, or lied to put Luffy off, but she inexplicably spoke the truth.
"I don't need to arm myself with lies anymore..."
The electric snake flew back, coiling around Nami's arm and rubbing against it affectionately.
Magic Alchemy.
As long as she continued to level up and get stronger, no one in the Pirate World would be able to bully her, and then she could pursue her dreams without any worries.
"So that's how it is, then I'll send them flying!"
Luffy, rarely serious, looked at Nami as if making a promise.
Nami was startled.
She had sought help from the Navy countless times before, but upon hearing Arlong's name, they were all terrified, or showed mockery and pity.
But the Straw Hat idiot in front of her wasn't like that; he truly treated her as a companion.
Just like when he completed the Contract Mission for Zoro, the look in his eyes was as if helping a companion with trouble was a matter of course.
This feeling of trust and reliance made her very comfortable.
"Idiot, didn't you see that I already defeated them myself? If you really want me to be your navigator, then claim the reward from the first floor!"
Nami laughed, took two quick steps, thoughtfully took off Luffy's Straw Hat, and then punched him.
"Really?"
Luffy ignored the lump swelling on his head and said excitedly, "I'm definitely getting the Trial Tower's reward!"
After they left,
the Fish-Men looked at each other, waiting for Arlong to revive.
Arlong's face was terrifyingly gloomy; after looking around and finding Nami gone, his anger had nowhere to vent.
"If it were my original body, that level of ability wouldn't have been able to harm me at all!"
"That's right, Boss Arlong!"
The Fish-Men flattered him.
Arlong's eyes flashed with a cold light; he had heard Nami's curses clearly before he died.
This was the first time he had suffered such a great insult since coming to the East Blue; although he said otherwise, he coveted the abilities granted by the Reincarnation Game.
"We, the Arlong Pirates, will work together and definitely snatch the first floor's reward!"
"Boss Arlong, we fully support you!"
These Fish-Men were the ones who, after the Grand Line's Sun Pirates disbanded, unhesitatingly chose to follow Arlong.
They were Arlong's staunch supporters.
"Very good, I've accumulated a good sum of money over the years, enough to cover the resurrection fees!"
"Brothers, defeat these lowly humans! We Fish-Men are the strongest race in this world!"
"Oh!"
"Captain Smoker, are we going in too?"
Tashigi's face wasn't looking too good.
She had originally intended to protect Bucky Saint and leave, abandoning the investigation of the Loguetown Trial Tower and its activities.
But she didn't expect Bucky Saint to sneak away and rush into the first floor of the Trial Tower with his crew.
If anything went wrong, the Navy in Loguetown would be severely punished.
"Go in; it's our Navy's duty to protect the World Nobles."
Smoker took a puff from his cigar, exhaling a faint purple smoke, his eyes subtly excited.
He subtly glanced at Tashigi's famous sword.
This feeling of increasing strength was too comfortable, and there were countless vicious pirates in the Trial Tower to practice on; it was simply a holy place.
The warship quickly cut through the current and rushed towards the first floor of the Trial Tower.
"Is my Devil Fruit ability restrained?"
The smoke emanating from around Smoker's body suddenly disappeared.
Those smokes were intentionally released by him, a means to react to attacks at any time, which had become instinctive.
"Is it because I'm too weak, or for another reason? sea stone?"
Smoker frowned deeply.
If it was the former, it would be fine, but if it was a method similar to sea stone, even the Navy's The Three Admirals, who are Logia users, would have their strength greatly reduced.
A prompt appeared in his mind.
[Can consume reward points to exchange for real-world abilities to aid in hunting activities within the Trial Tower]
"Tashigi?"
"Yes, Captain Smoker, a prompt also appeared in my mind."
A light screen panel appeared in Tashigi's vision, showing her sealed abilities.
She said, "My physique, strengthened beyond ordinary people through training, has been converted into four-dimensional attributes."
"Also, my sword skills and Navy combat techniques all require corresponding reward points to obtain."
[Pirate World Swordsmanship Lv.4], [Navy Combat Techniques Lv.3], 40 free attributes.
These were her sealed abilities.
If she unsealed them all, she would regain her usual combat power.
She asked curiously, "Captain Smoker, what are your sealed abilities?"
Smoker looked at his sealed abilities and said, "Consume funds from the Navy warehouse to unseal the sealed abilities."
[Navy Combat Techniques Lv.4], [Smoke-Smoke Fruit Lv.6], 50 free attributes.
Tashigi was a little flustered and quickly said, "Captain Smoker, wantonly wasting Loguetown's Navy funds like this could lead to accountability from Navy Headquarters!"
"Is that so?"
Smoker glanced at the huge island on the first floor, vaguely seeing the pirate Bucky had already landed on the island.
He said, "We are all here to protect the World Nobles. If we don't unleash our abilities and a Celestial Dragon gets injured, it will have an even greater impact on the Navy."
A moment later,
the Smoke-Smoke Fruit's ability reappeared.
Smoker, wreathed in faint purple toxic smoke, launched himself with a White Blow and landed on the edge of the island.
