Jinbe was serious!
His cold, stern gaze and steady demeanor all revealed his firm resolve.
This determination instantly made Arlong feel a terrifying pressure.
He wasn't a soft persimmon to be easily manipulated, but it was an undeniable fact that Jinbe's strength far surpassed his own.
"Brothers, we can't disappoint Jinbe." Arlong swung his Kiribachi, the sharp blade cutting through the air with a 'hissing' sound.
His shark-like face was now filled with murderous intent, and his sharp teeth gleamed with a chilling light in the sunlight.
Hearing Arlong's words, the other Fishmen instantly seemed to be injected with an excitant, their previously somewhat relaxed state becoming taut.
They didn't want to be inexplicably killed by Jinbe just like that!
One by one, they rolled up their sleeves, the Fishman race's unique powerful physique displayed to its fullest at this moment.
"Kill!" Arlong roared.
He charged at Jinbe first, stomping his feet hard on the ground, leaving several deep footprints, and shot towards Jinbe like a cannonball fired from a barrel.
The Kiribachi in his hand was raised high, bringing with it a whooshing sound, and fiercely chopped down towards Jinbe's head, as if to split Jinbe directly in half.
The other cadres of the Arlong Pirates were not to be outdone and immediately followed suit.
Hachi waved his flexible six arms, each gripping a sword, and each sword brought a different attack angle.
Kuroobi, like an agile dolphin, weaved among the crowd, his fins transforming into sharp weapons, striking directly at Jinbe's vital points.
For a time, all the Fishmen attacked Jinbe, surrounding him in the center.
Various attacks, like surging waves, continuously crashed towards Jinbe.
Jinbe stood his ground, like a majestic mountain, fearless in the face of the surging attacks.
His gaze was firm and calm, fixed intently on each attacker.
"Fish-Man Karate: Arabesque Brick Fist!" With a fierce roar, a terrifying shockwave exploded outwards from Jinbe.
Kuroobi had just assumed the starting stance of Fish-Man Karate when he was sent flying by the shockwave, his back crashing heavily against the wall of the Park, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
"Kuroobi!" Chew shrieked, opening his Fishman lips, but before the high-pressure water bullet could be fired, Jinbe's figure had already appeared before him like a ghost.
The Armament Haki-covered fist mercilessly slammed into his abdomen, Chew's Fishman eyes instantly bulged, and his entire body arched into a shrimp-like shape as he flew backward.
Arlong roared, swinging his Kiribachi to cleave, the serrated blade tearing through the air with a piercing shriek.
Jinbe sidestepped, his right hand gripping Arlong's wrist like an iron clamp, his left hand forming a palm and chopping down fiercely.
"Crack!"
Amidst the crisp sound of bone breaking, Arlong's wrist bent unnaturally.
But this ferocious shark Fishman, using the intense pain, unleashed an even more violent attack, opening his gaping maw to bite at Jinbe's neck.
"This is the end!"
A trace of regret flashed in Jinbe's eyes, his right leg lashing out like a whip.
The Armament Haki-covered foot forcefully kicked Arlong in the chest, and accompanied by the sound of ribs breaking, Arlong was thrown like a rag doll, smashing through the three-story building behind him.
"Rumble--"
In the dust of collapsing bricks and stones, Hachi rushed forward with six swords.
The sword light was like a net, but Jinbe brought his palms together, and a light blue aura suddenly burst forth around him.
"Fish-Man Jujutsu: Water Heart!"
Water droplets condensed in the air transformed into countless sharp arrows, and Hachi's six swords were all struck away.
Jinbe took a stride forward, his hand-blade precisely chopping Hachi's back neck, and the octopus Fishman instantly collapsed to the ground.
"Mon...monster..."
Salt-fried trembled backward, his spear constantly misfiring.
Ginbe was already so scared he wanted to escape into the sea.
Jinbe took a deep breath, the ground beneath his feet suddenly cracked, and he shot towards the remaining pirates like a cannonball.
Every punch carried the power to split mountains and rocks, every kick stirred up whistling gusts of wind.
The cadres of the Arlong Pirates were thrown into the air like worn-out dolls, blood drawing beautiful, tragic arcs in the air.
When the last Fishman fell, the entire Arlong Park had become a ruin.
Jinbe stood amidst the crumbling walls, his blue kimono stained with dust and the blood of his own kind.
"Wh-why..." Arlong struggled out of the rubble, most of his sharp teeth gone, "For a human girl...you want to kill your own kind..."
Jinbe slowly walked to him, his shadow enveloping the once spirited shark Fishman.
"You'll never understand." His voice was as heavy as the deep sea, "Every human you kill here brings Fish-Man Island one step closer to destruction."
Immediately after, without mercy, he used Arlong's weapon, Kiribachi, to kill Arlong with a single strike.
At this moment.
A faint sobbing sound came from afar.
Jinbe turned his head and saw a orange-haired girl curled up beside the collapsed gate, her small body trembling incessantly.
She tightly clutched a bag of Berries, tears continuously dripping onto the package.
Jinbe's heart felt as if it had been fiercely bitten by a Sea King; this matter was not over, he had to ask for this little girl's forgiveness.
He took heavy steps towards the girl, and slowly knelt down in the ravaged ruins.
His thick palms pressed against the broken ground, his forehead deeply touching the earth.
"I'm sorry."
These three simple words plunged the entire ruin into dead silence.
The sea breeze, carrying the scent of blood, swept past, stirring Nami's orange hair.
Jinbe maintained his dogeza posture, his voice hoarse: "This old man will compensate for all losses. These thugs have been personally dealt with by me... They can never harm anyone again."
Nami stood up, large tears splashing onto the ground.
She looked at this powerful Fishman kneeling before her like a criminal, and at the monsters who were once so arrogant, now lying in pools of blood.
The joy of revenge and the pain of losing her loved ones surged in her chest, finally transforming into a heart-wrenching cry.
Jinbe never looked up.
The sunlight stretched his shadow long, like a silent tombstone.
When justice is delayed, it often wears clothes stained with the blood of commoners. And today, in this small village in the East Blue, justice finally arrived in the most brutal way.
The residents of Cocoyasi Village, hearing that the commotion had ended, finally dared to cautiously approach Arlong Park under Akin's leadership, with Nojiko also by Akin's side.
When they saw Arlong Park in ruins, with the bodies of Arlong's gang lying everywhere in the Park, and a Fishman kneeling before Nami at the entrance.
Everyone was shocked.
