Chapter 28
[Ding! Congratulations, Host. Obtained Rokushiki Secret Technique 'Rokuogan' Comprehension Card ×1.]
[Congratulations, Host. Obtained Ability Plunder Card ×1 (Can directly strip another's Devil Fruit power and condense a new fruit).]
[Congratulations, Host. Obtained 10-Year Lifespan Card ×1.]
Arlong's eyes lit up at the rewards.
Rokuogan fired shockwaves—perfect for covering his lack of ranged attacks.
The Plunder Card!
Shame it came a few days late. He could've stripped Akainu and left him powerless!
"Damn system."
Arlong grumbled unhappily.
[Ding! Friendly reminder: The Plunder Card has a failure rate. Higher development means lower success chance.]
Arlong: (?Д`)ヽ(?Д? )
That limited it a lot.
Trash fruits weren't worth taking; good ones were too hard to steal.
Luffy's development wasn't high, but as the chosen one, success rate was probably zero.
"I've got it."
Arlong suddenly thought of a premium fruit wasted on a terrible user.
It would take a detour, but getting the fruit wasn't a loss.
He set the thought aside and looked at the last reward.
The 10-Year Lifespan Card made his breathing heavy.
Fishmen lived about as long as humans. At 41, his prime wouldn't last much longer.
With more women coming, the drain would only increase.
He had just worried about his body holding up—and here was the solution.
If this card could be sold, it'd fetch at least ten billion!
Of course, even if possible, Arlong wouldn't do something that stupid.
"System, you really are a thoughtful little padded jacket."
Arlong rarely praised it.
[No! I'm the damn system.]
Quite tsundere!
Arlong didn't indulge it.
"Damn system, use the 'Rokuogan' card and the lifespan card."
System: (?д? )?┬─┬?ノ┻━┻
[Ding! Congratulations, Host. Learned Rokuogan.] [Congratulations, Host. Gained 10 years of lifespan.]
Instantly, Arlong knew how to use Rokuogan.
His Observation Haki picked up a shark swimming nearby. He aimed.
Whoosh~
A shockwave shot into the sea.
Pfft~
It pierced straight through the shark, blood spilling.
Three seconds later, the shark registered the pain and thrashed wildly.
The water turned red, attracting a swarm of sharks.
"Not bad."
Feeling Rokuogan's power, Arlong was very satisfied.
Stronger than in the anime!
The lifespan boost filled him with endless energy.
Status panel:
Host: Arlong (Sawshark Fishman) Age: 41 Techniques: Iron Teeth Technique, Shark On Darts, Shark On Gears, Navy Rokushiki, Armament Haki (Beginner), Life Return (Beginner), Observation Haki (Beginner), Rokuogan Quest: Overthrow the World Government → Establish the Divine Dragon Empire Items: Zanba (Great Grade Sword), Ability Plunder Card ×1 Beauties Collected: Nami, Nojiko, Carmen
Carmen at 88 affection.
Nojiko at 94.
Nami at 95.
Fresh off the high, Arlong decided to push for full affection.
He returned to the room.
At this hour, Carmen was leading Nami and Nojiko in yoga—her way of staying fit.
Nami was fully invested.
Nojiko didn't need it but joined anyway.
All three wore yoga outfits that perfectly showcased their curves.
"Big Bro Arlong, joining yoga?"
Nojiko asked.
She was in a handstand split—wide open toward him.
"Sure! Let's do it together!"
Arlong grinned and locked the cabin door.
…
Hatchan at the helm: "Pretty big waves today—the ship's rocking hard."
…
Hours later,
Arlong felt physically satisfied but mentally frustrated.
All that effort—no affection gain. How to reach 100%?
…
Reverse Mountain – Twin Capes
A massive warship anchored at the exit.
"A Navy Headquarters ship!"
Lighthouse keeper Crocus was puzzled—why would a high-ranking officer come to this remote place?
He walked to the cliff edge to greet them anyway.
A burly man leaped from the warship, landing heavily beside Crocus.
BOOM!
Rocks flew.
The fierce man with six spider-like arms on his back was the hawkish Vice Admiral Onigumo.
"Crocus, you're still alive!"
Onigumo said bluntly.
Roger had been dead twenty years—yet this old man lingered.
Remnants like him shouldn't be left alive—who knew what they plotted!
Crocus knew Onigumo's personality and ignored the jab.
"What brings Vice Admiral Onigumo here?"
"Hmph!"
Onigumo scowled at being ignored.
"Has the Arlong Pirates passed?"
"Didn't see them!" Crocus shook his head.
RUMBLE~
Sudden earthquake-like tremors, accompanied by a distant, ethereal cry.
Crocus's face changed. "Vice Admiral Onigumo, make yourself at home—I've got something to handle."
Onigumo's expression soured but he said nothing.
Just then, a pirate ship slid down Reverse Mountain.
Before Onigumo could identify the flag, the mast snapped.
The ship was swallowed by a gigantic mouth.
Onigumo: ⊙0⊙
Meanwhile,
Several Baroque Works agents hid on a distant cliff, whispering.
"With a Headquarters warship here, do we proceed?"
"Forget it. Head to Whiskey Peak instead!"
They slipped away quietly.
…
East Blue
Two days later, the Shark Sparb reached the edge of the Calm Belt.
Arlong anchored near an uninhabited island.
Hatchan climbed the crow's nest, cupped six hands into a megaphone, and bellowed.
"Momoooo~"
"Big Bro Arlong, it's days from Arlong Park—can Momoo hear?"
Nami looked at Arlong in confusion.
"I sent Momoo ahead before we left."
Arlong explained with a smile.
"Big Bro Arlong…"
Bartolomeo started, but Nami punched his head.
Bartolomeo clutched his smoking lump and backed away ヾ(??﹏?)??.
"Big Bro Arlong… maybe Reverse Mountain is better!"
Nami was still scared.
They were half a day from the Calm Belt—and already saw Sea King heads.
Up close would be terrifying ┌(.Д.)┐!
