Chapter 31 Back to the Starting Point
Krieg went out with the hundred servings of food Zeff gave him.
The atmosphere inside the restaurant was slightly oppressive. Sanji comforted them, saying, "What are you afraid of? If they dare to come later, we'll drive them away."
What's the use of regretting now? Even our own head chef did that, so as restaurant staff, we just have to unite and drive away the invading Pirates!
Patty echoed, "Krieg's Pirates aren't scary at all. We are the battle-hardened chefs of the Sea Restaurant!"
"Whoa..."
"Let's go all out, guys."
"Whoa... Let that bunch see how formidable we Sea Restaurant chefs are!"
Luffy shouted excitedly, "And me, and me, hahaha..."
Almost forgot, that guy Luffy is still a restaurant employee!
Lin Hai said to Nami beside him, "Nami, just stand next to me later, I'll guarantee your safety!"
Usopp quickly grabbed Lin Hai's arm and said, "Hey, hey, Lin Hai, what about me? You have to protect me too..."
Lin Hai was speechless, "Didn't you say you wanted to become a brave warrior of the sea? Fine... What about you, Zoro? I can protect you too, call me 'big bro' and let me hear it!"
Zoro's eyelid twitched, "You bastard, I don't need you to protect me. But I always feel like something is going to happen, everyone be careful..."
Before he finished speaking, a huge noise sounded from outside.
"What the hell happened?"
"Why is the restaurant shaking so violently? Is it a tsunami?"
"Stop asking so many questions, quickly go outside and see what's going on..."
It turned out that after Krieg finished giving food to his subordinates, just as he was about to seize the Sea Restaurant, Krieg's large ship was split in half by a single sword strike!
Facing such a scene, a power never seen before, everyone couldn't help but feel a little flustered, because how could such a large ship suddenly be split in half!
"What's wrong with Krieg's ship? How did it suddenly become like this?"
"Look quickly, the cut is so smooth, was it cleaved open by someone?"
"What a joke, how could such a large ship be cleaved open by someone!"
"Hey, hey, this isn't the time to worry about this, is it? You bastards, quickly come with me to lower the ship's planks..."
"Right, right, such a big wave coming will submerge the restaurant!"
On Lin Hai's side, Nami asked, "Lin Hai, if it were you, could you do that?"
Lin Hai laughed, "Of course I can, aren't you clear about my abilities?"
Usopp remembered the high cliff at the coast of his hometown and immediately said angrily, "Lin Hai, you bastard, what did you do to my hometown!"
Lin Hai rolled his eyes, "Let's not talk about this first, look quickly into the distance, there's a person there!"
Usopp laughed, "What a joke, ah, there really is!"
Zoro stepped forward excitedly, muttering, "It's him, it's him, it's him!"
Luffy asked doubtfully, "Who is it?"
Lin Hai teased, "Does he owe you a lot of money? You're so happy..."
Zoro ignored the people beside him, swallowed, and explained, "I went out to sea just to find him, he is the World's Greatest Swordsman, Dracule Mihawk, the man known to the world as Hawkeye!"
"The World's Greatest Swordsman, Dracule Mihawk?" Nami turned to ask Lin Hai, "If it were you, what would happen if you fought him?"
Lin Hai wasn't like that rookie Zoro. Hawkeye could stand at the pinnacle of the world's sword path not just because he was the best swordsman; his Observation Haki, Armament Haki, physical fitness, speed, strength, combat experience, and so on, were all top-ranked in the world. Lin Hai wasn't confident enough yet to compete with Hawkeye!
Lin Hai explained, "If I fought him to the death, I would be instantly killed by him!"
Nami exclaimed, "No way? Aren't you very confident? How can you say something like that? This is completely unlike you!"
Luffy also turned his head and asked, "Lin Hai, is the gap between you and him really that big?"
Lin Hai rolled his eyes, "How many years has he been adventuring, how many things has he experienced? In any aspect, how can we little Pirates who are just starting out compare!"
Usopp said disbelievingly, "Aren't you underestimating yourself too much?"
Lin Hai advised, "If you want to climb to the peak, you first have to recognize your own strength and understand the power of the world's peak. Only then will you improve. Geez, I'm not your teacher, all of you, move aside."
Luffy pouted, "Lin Hai, you stingy guy..."
After the few of them chatted for a bit, they saw that after the smoke from the completed wave in the distance dissipated, a small boat with a unique shape appeared, like a coffin lid. Candles were lit on the boat, emitting green flames, everything seemed so strange and unconventional.
And sitting on the boat was a person. He had a short beard, wore a black top hat adorned with white fluff, a wine-red patterned shirt, a black trench coat, white trousers, and black ankle boots. A cross hung on his chest, and a long sword was strapped to his back.
At this moment, he was sitting there with his legs crossed, his hands on his lap, and his head lowered, giving off an extremely strong sense of oppression.
Just then, a crew member from the Krieg Pirate Group broke this sense of oppression...
"You bastard, how exactly did we offend you?"
"Exactly, chasing us all the way from the Grand Line to here..."
Hawkeye glanced indifferently at the person who asked the question and simply replied, "Bored, just killing time."
What kind of reason is that?
You were bored, so you went on a hacking spree against so many of their ships, and after you finished, you weren't satisfied and chased them all the way from the Grand Line to the starting point of their voyage?
Krieg's eye twitched, and he was filled with anger. His ambition to dominate the Grand Line was completely shattered by this absurd reason!
Now, everything was back to square one!
Krieg couldn't tolerate it anymore, so he hinted at the sniper on his ship. The sniper understood well, took out his two pistols, and fired at Hawkeye...
"Bang bang..." A burst of gunfire rang out.
They saw Hawkeye draw the black sword from his back, and with a simple movement, he deflected the two bullets shot at him.
The sniper rubbed his eyes in disbelief and muttered, "How is that possible! I clearly aimed!"
At this moment, Zoro had already untied the bandana from his arm and tied it around his head. He stepped forward and explained, "It was deflected by his sword!"
The sniper asked, "Who are you?"
Zoro didn't answer him but walked towards Hawkeye...
On the other side, Nami said worriedly, "Didn't you say that person was so powerful? Why are you still letting Zoro challenge him?"
Luffy adjusted his hat and explained, "That's Zoro's dream, what reason do we have to stop him?"
Lin Hai nodded, "Nami, don't worry. Think about it, if Zoro retreated when facing Hawkeye, how could he move towards his goal of becoming the World's Greatest Swordsman in the future? So, you should congratulate him!"
"What World's Greatest?" Nami shook her head, "You're really a bunch of boring guys, I'm not bothering with you anymore!"
Usopp beside them swallowed, suddenly realizing that he seemed to have boarded an incredible ship!
Just then, Lin Hai pulled Nami to a spot and said, "You stay here, don't run around!"
Nami asked doubtfully, "Are you going to challenge Hawkeye too?"
Lin Hai shook his head and gave Nami a smile. How could Lin Hai be so ignorant as to challenge Hawkeye? He was just going to make a show of it!!
.........Chapter 32 Killing Chickens and Sheep
"Who is he? Three swords?"
"I remember now, he's the famous bounty hunter from the East Blue, Roronoa Zoro!"
"So he's Roronoa Zoro, huh? Who do you guys think will win?"
Zoro ignored the whispers around him, instead drawing his sword and pointing it at Hawkeye, "I've never seen such a soft sword!"
Hawkeye said lightly, "Not all hard swords have power."
Zoro asked, "Did you cut this ship with that sword?"
Hawkeye replied, "That's right."
Hearing Hawkeye's answer, everyone couldn't help but swallow.
Zoro said, "I see, truly the strongest! I set sail to find you."
Hawkeye asked curiously, "What is your goal?"
Zoro grinned and said, "The strongest."
Hawkeye snorted coldly, "Foolish fellow."
Zoro asked, "You're quite free, aren't you? Let's have a match."
Hawkeye leaped, landing directly beside Zoro, and said disdainfully, "Hmph, you pathetic weakling. If you were truly a first-rate swordsman, you would have understood the difference in our strength before fighting me. To dare draw your sword against me, should I call you ignorant or courageous?"
"Tsk tsk tsk..." A sudden sound rang out. Who else could it be but Lin Hai?
Everyone looked at Lin Hai, only to see him holding a very beautiful sword.
Lin Hai drew his sword, performed a sword flourish, and said, "I heard you are the World's Greatest Swordsman. I know you are very powerful, but if I don't have the courage to challenge you, how can I become a top swordsman?"
Hawkeye turned and asked, "Who are you? Did you also come to challenge me?"
"No," Lin Hai shook his head and said, "My name is China. D. Lin Hai. Although I can't beat you, I have a few things I want to say..."
Seeing everyone looking at him, Lin Hai was inwardly delighted. He raised his sword and introduced it, "This sword is named high wind. It is one meter thirty-three centimeters long and weighs eight jin and three liang. It is made from an extraterrestrial cold ice weapon. It can cut hair and fur, kill chickens and butcher sheep. Bah, in short, this sword is the strongest in my heart!"
"Ding, congratulations to the host for receiving a dazzling reward, Space Slash."
"Note: This slash requires a one-month cooldown after use, and the host will also experience some side effects. Please use it judiciously..."
What the heck? Lin Hai didn't have time to check it out!
Seeing Hawkeye staring at him, a drop of cold sweat ran down Lin Hai's forehead. Why didn't he hold his tongue just now?
If those swordsmen knew he used his sword to kill chickens and butcher sheep, would he become a public enemy of the swordsman world?
Just then, Hawkeye asked, "Are you here to mock me? Do you know the consequences?"
Lin Hai quickly shook his head and said, "How would I dare? I just wanted to justify my sword! Sorry, please continue..."
Indeed, Hawkeye was still easy to talk to. After Hawkeye turned back to look at Zoro, Lin Hai quickly moved away to quickly check out the so-called Space Slash!
Space Slash is different from previous Space Field cuts, and the way the sword is drawn is also different.
To draw the sword, you need to clench your fist, hold your middle and index fingers upright in front of your chest, similar to a spell-casting posture, and then communicate with your mind. A bowl-sized spatial vortex will appear on the left side, and high wind will slowly emerge from there...
Oh my god, that's so cool!
Once this slash is unleashed, it ignores the opponent's Haki. If it hits, it hits! It's different from slashes within a Space Field, which can't cut through an opponent's Armament Haki that is stronger than your own!
However, Space Slash also has a drawback: it can be dodged...
Before Lin Hai could explore further, the angry Luffy had already launched himself, attacking Hawkeye.
It turned out that Zoro had already been cut and fallen into the Sea!
Hawkeye glanced at Luffy and explained, "Don't worry, he's not dead, just fainted."
After speaking, Hawkeye turned to look at the retrieved Zoro and said, "Understand yourself, recognize the world, then become stronger and surpass me, Roronoa Zoro... No matter how many years it takes in the future, I will wait for your challenge in this strongest position."
Zoro drew his only remaining sword and shouted towards the sky, "Luffy, I won't lose again! Before I defeat him... Do you have any objections? Pirate King!"
Luffy laughed, "Shi ha ha ha... No."
Hawkeye had already noticed Luffy. That Straw Hat should be his friend Shanks's, entrusted to him, right?
Hawkeye said, "Becoming the Pirate King is even harder than surpassing me..."
Luffy stuck out his tongue and said, "I don't care, I'm definitely becoming the Pirate King!"
Hawkeye's mouth curved up. Just as he was about to leave, Krieg on the side had no intention of letting Hawkeye go! After all, his Pirate group had been cut to pieces by Hawkeye...
Krieg stepped forward and said to Hawkeye, "Hawkeye, our business isn't finished yet! Are you planning to leave now?"
Hawkeye replied lightly, "I've had enough fun, I'm going home to sleep."
Krieg took out his weapon and sneered, "Before you go back, you can just die once for me."
Krieg fired the bullets from his armament to his heart's content. Immediately, smoke billowed from where Hawkeye was standing...
After the smoke cleared, Hawkeye had disappeared without a trace.
"Tch." Unable to find Hawkeye, Krieg had no choice but to turn to his crew and say, "What are you guys doing? Don't forget our objective, to take over the Sea Restaurant Baratie."
"Woo oh, leave it to us, Admiral Krieg."
"Leader Krieg is the strongest, even Hawkeye didn't dare to fight him, ha ha ha..."
"Hurry up, take over the Sea Restaurant, then the food problem will be solved. By then, Admiral Krieg will definitely be able to become the Pirate King!"
At this moment, Luffy jumped onto the railing of the ship and asked Zeff, the owner of this restaurant, "If I drive them away, will you not make me work for you anymore?"
Zeff laughed, "Yes, if you can do it!"
Before Luffy could act, Lin Hai had already started his own actions!
After all, Lin Hai also wanted to become a strong person, so he could gallop across the Sea like a wild horse, right?
That night's tenderness is still lingering in his mind!
Therefore, in a safe situation, Lin Hai had to seize the opportunity to make flashy moves, not letting go of a single chance!
And so, Lin Hai had changed into a new outfit, a strange attire...
Everyone was once again attracted by Lin Hai's peculiar dress!
.........Chapter 33: Space Slash: A Sword Cuts the Sea
Everyone looked over, only to see Lin Hai standing on the deck at this moment, his long hair flowing, standing alone against the wind, his face like polished jade, his eyes like bright stars, and his nose like a hanging gall bladder.
His long robe rustled in the sea breeze; at this moment, Lin Hai was overflowing with immortal aura, captivating countless young girls...
Everyone couldn't help but swallow their saliva. Usopp was the first to exclaim, "Lin Hai, are you perhaps an immortal? Sugoi!"
Nami stared blankly at Lin Hai's profile. Is Lin Hai really this handsome? Oh no, I can't hold myself back!
Whether it was the restaurant staff or the Krieg Pirate crew, they all stared at Lin Hai, unable to tear their eyes away, seemingly forgetting what they were doing.
Sanji, standing nearby, looked at Lin Hai's clothes and felt a sense of familiarity, but he just couldn't remember where he had seen them before.
At this moment, Luffy couldn't hold back. Sweating profusely and with eyes shining brighter than titanium alloy dog eyes, he ran up to Lin Hai and exclaimed, "Handsome, you're so handsome..."
The excited Luffy continuously examined Lin Hai up, down, left, and right. Lin Hai's hair wasn't this long, right?
And so, Luffy grabbed...
The scene instantly became awkward!
Lin Hai's long hair was bought from the System with Pheromone coins, as was the foundation on his face. Otherwise, how could Lin Hai's face be like polished jade?
As for the clothes, Lin Hai had actually taken down Sanji's curtains from his room and made them into clothes, because the System's clothes were simply too expensive!
At this moment, Lin Hai's wig was in Luffy's hand, and for a moment, the two stared at each other, wide-eyed.
nani?!
"What the heck, it was fake! I thought that guy was an immortal!"
"I knew it! Immortals are just legends, how could there be a real immortal! That's all just a myth..."
The noise from the crowd finally pulled Lin Hai back to reality.
Lin Hai glared at Luffy, took the wig from his hand, put it back on, and then said, "Can you stop messing around?!"
Luffy nodded and said, "You have to style me like that later too! I want this look! It's too handsome!"
Lin Hai waved his hand and said, "Alright, alright, go stand aside..."
Adjusting his posture again, Lin Hai performed another sword flourish and then said, "I have a sword that can move mountains, overturn the Sea, and, and..."
Oh no, he couldn't remember what Usopp said before, and Lin Hai suddenly got stuck!
"And?"
"And what?"
"He's not trying to fool us again, is he?"
Listening to the others' mocking, Lin Hai's cheeks rarely flushed red. He awkwardly turned his head and asked Usopp, "Usopp, what comes after?"
"Ah?" Usopp replied blankly, "Break mountains and rivers, establish the universe..."
Lin Hai remembered and immediately said with surprise, "Break mountains and rivers, establish the universe, ah..."
"Ah?"
"Hahaha, I'm dying of laughter, this guy was just pretending..."
"Hahaha, this guy is too funny. He doesn't even know his own lines and actually came out to make a fool of himself."
"Hey, you idiot, do you want me to teach you what to say?"
Sanji, standing nearby, took a puff of his cigarette and then asked Luffy, "Are all the people on your ship this eccentric?"
Hearing every word, Lin Hai's face was now flushed red. Damn it, he finally came up with such a brilliant idea, spent so many Pheromone coins buying wigs, foundation, and makeup skills...
He put in so much effort, and what was the result?
The result was attracting a crowd of people to mock him!
Embarrassed and enraged, Lin Hai didn't care anymore. Let these bastards see what the power of a single sword strike is!
Lin Hai was so angry that he directly took off his wig and threw it on the ground, then tore open his long robe and tossed it aside...
Sanji saw the distinctive pattern on the clothes and immediately exclaimed, "Lin Hai, you bastard! You actually tore down my curtains!"
"Is he angry from embarrassment? He looks really mad!"
"What is he trying to do? Why do I have a bad feeling about this!"
Having a bad feeling was correct!
At this moment, on the deck, Lin Hai unleashed the Space Slash rewarded by the System!
Lin Hai clenched his single hand into a fist, raising his index and middle fingers level with his chin, as if chanting some spell.
Before long, a transparent spatial vortex appeared to Lin Hai's left, and a sword slowly emerged from it. Wasn't that high wind?!
"What, what exactly does he want to do?"
Everyone had this thought at this moment.
Lin Hai grabbed the sword hilt, then looked up and said, "Space Slash, One Sword Cuts the Sea!"
Clang...
Everyone only felt a sword hum in their ears, and a flash of light that made the surroundings a little dimmer.
Krieg's crew and the restaurant staff were all frozen there, then mechanically turned their heads to look at Lin Hai's upward slash...
To their horror, they discovered that the Sea had been split! This sword strike was much more terrifying than the one Hawkeye had made just now!
Krieg, standing nearby, no longer cared about his large ship that had been cut into four sections!
"Everyone, hurry and help! A large vortex has appeared in the Sea!"
"We don't have time to fight anymore! If we don't stabilize the ship, we'll all be buried at the bottom of the Sea!"
"My god, that guy is too terrifying, too scary!"
What was Lin Hai doing at this moment?
After using that move, because his development of the Space Fruit ability was insufficient, he overexerted himself! As a result, Lin Hai fainted!
As Lin Hai lost his last bit of consciousness, he couldn't help but inwardly complain, "sao system, you're not powerful enough!"
When Lin Hai woke up, he saw Nami lying beside the bed. What's going on?
What about the Krieg Pirates? And what happened to Luffy and the others?!
Lin Hai's movements woke up Nami, who was resting.
Seeing that Lin Hai was fine, Nami rolled her eyes, then twisted Lin Hai's ear and scolded him, "You bastard were too reckless! Do you know that we were all almost killed by you?!"
"I know I was wrong," Lin Hai quickly begged for mercy, "Let go, let go, it hurts, it hurts..."
After Nami let go, Lin Hai finally realized how quiet it was around him. Occasionally, there were sounds of seagulls outside. This feeling seemed really good!
However, he, Lin Hai, was still very curious about how things developed after he fainted!
So Lin Hai held Nami's hand and asked, "Are Luffy and the others okay?"
.........Chapter 34 It's time to take medicine
Nami rolled her eyes at Lin Hai and explained, "They're fine. After you passed out, Luffy fought with that Krieg, and Krieg lost. I don't know what they're doing now..."
Lin Hai felt like he had slept for a long time and asked curiously, "How long was I unconscious?"
Nami replied, "Three days."
"Three days!" Lin Hai exclaimed, then muttered, "No way, how could I be unconscious for so long!"
Realizing what had happened, Lin Hai couldn't help but say, "Nami, I'm sorry for the delay. We were planning to go to your hometown..."
Nami shook her head and said, "So many years have passed, do a few days matter? But you are really worrying. You won't pull this trick again and pass out again, will you?"
Lin Hai sat up, pulled Nami into his arms, and shook his head, "No, I won't. It was my first time using that move, I wasn't skilled, and I overused my strength! Hahaha..."
Nami playfully scolded, "Why are you always taking advantage of me?"
Lin Hai ignored Nami's words and said, "Nami, you should have more faith in us. You'll be free soon!"
"F-Free?" Nami looked up at Lin Hai curiously.
Lin Hai nodded and said, "After defeating Arlong, you can do whatever you like..."
Nami looked at Lin Hai excitedly and asked uncertainly, "Will that day really come?"
Lin Hai replied, "Don't worry, that day will come very soon..."
Before Lin Hai could finish speaking, an annoyed voice suddenly sounded from outside, "Lin Hai, you bastard, let go of Miss Nami!"
As soon as Nami heard the voice, she quickly got out of Lin Hai's arms, while Lin Hai glared angrily at Sanji. It turned out that Sanji had brought food for Nami.
Lin Hai ignored Sanji's murderous gaze, took the food he had prepared for Nami from his hand, and started eating it himself.
Sanji became even angrier, "You bastard, this isn't for you to eat!"
Nami asked, "Sanji, where are Luffy and the others?"
Sanji's eyes immediately turned into hearts and he said, "They're outside, Miss Nami."
Soon, Luffy and the others came in. Luffy laughed loudly, "Lin Hai, you're useless! You didn't fight anyone and were unconscious for three days, you weakling!"
Oh no, how did Luffy learn my words?
However, Lin Hai was not in the mood to argue with them now. He saw Zoro not far away with bandages wrapped around him. That was too casual!
Lin Hai asked doubtfully, "Zoro, did you treat your wound like this?"
"Huh?" Zoro asked doubtfully, "Is there a problem?"
Lin Hai looked at Zoro with a deadpan expression and replied, "There's a big problem."
Saying that, Lin Hai turned to look at Sanji and asked, "Do you have high-concentration alcohol here?"
Sanji asked, "Yes, I do. What do you need it for?"
Lin Hai said with a chuckle, "To treat that idiot Zoro's wound! His wound is still bleeding! Don't you have a Doctor here?"
Sanji replied, "Yes, we do, but he ran away earlier."
Zoro on the side waved his hand and said, "I'll be fine after a few sleeps..."
Lin Hai exclaimed, "You shameless guy! If your wound gets infected, it will rot, become inflamed, cause a high fever, and so on. I'm asking you if you'll still be fine then!"
Luffy asked doubtfully, "Is it that serious?"
A bunch of illiterates, Lin Hai said gloomily, "Pretend I didn't say anything, I'm starving!"
At that moment, Luffy said, "Oh right, Sanji has agreed to join our Pirate group. We now have six companions."
Lin Hai glanced at Sanji and replied indifferently, "Oh."
Sanji said angrily, "What kind of reaction is that!"
Lin Hai said speechlessly, "What kind of reaction do you want?"
Sanji struck a pose and said smugly, "Shouldn't you be very happy? A genius like me joining you as a companion..."
Lin Hai interrupted, "Sanji!"
Sanji asked doubtfully, "Huh?"
Lin Hai said seriously, "You should take your medicine!"
"Pfft, Hahaha..."
"Hahaha..."
Zoro added fuel to the fire, "Sanji, you should take your medicine."
Sanji, his face flushed red, shouted loudly, "Lin Hai! I'm going to kill you..."
...
After taking care of their respective matters and Sanji saying goodbye to the staff at the Sea Restaurant, everyone boarded the Going Merry.
"Cheers, welcome our new companion Sanji to join us..."
"Hey hey Zoro, your wound is very serious, you can't drink..."
"Stop nagging, drinking a little is fine."
After everyone had some fun, Luffy and Usopp ran to Lin Hai's side. Luffy asked, "Lin Hai, can you show us that move again from that day? What was it called?"
Usopp replied, "It seemed like Space Slash or something, it was so cool!"
Luffy nodded and said, "Yes, yes, show us again."
After saying that, Luffy even imitated Lin Hai's posture from that day when he summoned high wind.
Meanwhile, Sanji kicked Luffy away and said, "Lin Hai, don't listen to them. If you cause a giant wave of that magnitude again, I doubt we can even reach Nami's hometown, right, beautiful Nami-san..."
He came quickly and left quickly! Sanji ran back to Nami's side to fawn over her again.
At this moment, Zoro stepped forward and said, "Lin Hai, how did you do that move? Is Space ability that powerful?"
Lin Hai shook his head and said, "I'm not very clear either. Anyway, the Space Fruit is just amazing, it's great, it's incredibly great..."
"You guy!" Zoro said speechlessly, "Can I see your sword?"
Lin Hai took high wind directly from his space and threw it to Zoro, then walked to Nami's side and asked, "How long does it take from here to your place?"
Nami replied, "A little over a day, but shouldn't we make a plan on how to defeat the Arlong Pirates..."
Luffy interrupted, "Punch him away."
Zoro: "Cut him down."
Sanji: "Kick him away."
Lin Hai: "Kill it."
Everyone looked at Usopp, who stammered, "I, I'll cheer you on from the side..."
Nami slapped her forehead, "I'm telling you, that Arlong Pirates is not simple at all. They are completely different from the Pirate groups we've seen before. You guys..."
Lin Hai interrupted, "What are you afraid of? With just one glare from me, even if they don't pass out, they will obediently lie down."
Luffy quickly stopped him, "Lin Hai, you can't use that move! That Arlong must be punched away by me!"
Lin Hai said gloomily, "Alright, alright, I'll let you have him."
"Duang, duang..."
Nami, whose words were interrupted, was so angry that she hit both Lin Hai and Luffy, then explained, "Fish-Man's arm strength is naturally more than ten times greater than humans. Do you know what that means? Not to mention that Arlong..."
Lin Hai stood up speechlessly, rolled his eyes at Nami, and said with a chuckle, "Luffy is a man who is going to become the Pirate King!"
Luffy's eyes lit up and he nodded, "I'm a man who is going to become the Pirate King, a mere Arlong..."
"Duang..."
Sanji's eyes instantly turned into hearts, "Even angry Nami is so beautiful..."
Zoro on the side couldn't help but complain, "Pervert cook."
Sanji glared, "What did you say."
Zoro: "Pervert cook."
Sanji: "You guy, you've become quite short-tempered since you were beaten up once."
Zoro: "What did you say?"
Sanji: "Do you want to fight?"
Nami on the side slapped her forehead. It's over, it's over. How did this Pirate group become like this?
.........Chapter 35: Wipe, Don't Hit My Face
Seeing Nami drawing circles in the corner of the deck, Lin Hai understood that he couldn't stimulate her anymore, or something bad would really happen!
"Cough cough." Lin Hai said, "Everyone stop messing around, we really need to discuss how to make a plan after arriving at Cocoyasi Village!"
Luffy said, "Can't we just go directly to Arlong? As long as we defeat him, won't all the problems be solved?"
Lin Hai rolled his eyes and said, "What about the Fish-Men in other places? What if they get desperate and hurt the villagers?"
Nami instantly perked up, quickly ran to Lin Hai's side, and asked, "Do you have a plan?"
Lin Hai said with a laugh, "If I had a plan, would we still need to discuss it?"
Luffy pouted and said, "What the heck, you don't have a plan either."
Sanji muttered while biting his cigarette, "This is indeed a problem. If those Fish-Men hold or hurt the villagers, Miss Nami will definitely be sad..."
Before he finished speaking, the cigarette in Sanji's pocket was taken by Lin Hai, who quickly lit one...
"Cough cough..." Lin Hai choked a bit and said speechlessly, "What kind of cigarette is this?"
Sanji said angrily, "You bastard, you can't even smoke but you took the whole pack?"
Lin Hai retorted, "I can't stand the air in this world, is that not allowed?"
"Duang, duang..." Nami put her hands on her hips and said angrily, "Every single one of you is like this!!"
After a while, Lin Hai said, "How about this, Nami and Luffy go make a big fuss in the village to attract the Fish-Men on the outskirts to Arlong's base.
I'll go directly to Arlong's base with the others to provoke them, and when the Fish-Men scattered elsewhere return, we'll wipe them out in one fell swoop?"
Sanji sat up and nodded, "That's an idea. With Luffy's troublemaking personality, this is very suitable!"
Luffy said disapprovingly, "Why do I have to go with Nami?"
Lin Hai rolled his eyes and said, "Do you know where those Fish-Men are located?"
Luffy shook his head decisively and said, "I don't know."
Lin Hai spread his hands, "Isn't that the point? Also..."
Saying that, Lin Hai ran to Zoro's side, shaking his shoulder and saying speechlessly, "Can you say something? Who are you putting on that cool act for all day!"
"Ah, it hurts, it hurts." Zoro said angrily, "Lin Hai, you bastard, let go quickly, believe it or not, I'll cut you down!"
Lin Hai gently poked Zoro's wound with his hand, "Is that so?"
"Ah!!" Zoro said, covered in cold sweat, "You bastard..."
"Hahaha..."
Things were settled, and everyone couldn't help but feel a little more relaxed.
At this moment, Sanji ran to Lin Hai's side and said, "Lin Hai, can you design a hairstyle for me later? The style you had that day is fine."
The sharp-eared Luffy also came over, shouting, "Lin Hai, I want one too!"
Lin Hai said gloomily, "These are all natural. Haven't you heard a saying?"
Zoro on the side asked doubtfully, "What saying?"
Lin Hai looked up at the sky at a forty-five-degree angle!!
This guy, Lin Hai, was doing this again. Everyone couldn't help but darken their expressions, but that style was really attractive!
At this moment, Lin Hai said, "A monkey dressed in a hat!"
Nami asked, "What does that mean?"
Lin Hai slowly said, "It means that a monkey is just a monkey, even if it puts on clothes, it can't change... Holy crap, what are you doing!!"
"Don't hit my face!!"
Sanji: "How can you be so annoying?"
Luffy: "Lin Hai, you actually called me a monkey!"
Zoro: "Hahaha, cough cough cough, beat him up hard..."
...
On the deck, Luffy shouted boredly, "Ah, Nami, how much longer until we arrive? I'm so bored."
Nami looked at the direction and replied, "We should arrive around tomorrow."
"nani?!" Luffy lay listlessly on the deck.
Nami asked doubtfully, "Why don't you go play with Lin Hai and the others?"
Usopp, who was making weapons, pointed to a secluded spot and explained, "Lin Hai and Zoro are taking a big nap over there!"
At this moment, Sanji walked out of the kitchen and said, "Dinner is ready."
Luffy instantly perked up, "Time to eat, time to eat..."
Lin Hai, still half-asleep, quickly pulled up Zoro, who asked doubtfully, "What are you doing?"
Lin Hai said speechlessly, "If you don't go eat now, will there be anything left later?"
Zoro quickly replied, "Let's go quickly!"
Lin Hai quickly said, "Wait, something's coming up!"
Everyone stopped and asked doubtfully, "Something's coming up?"
Before everyone could wonder, a fountain suddenly appeared on the Sea surface, followed by a Sea beast the size of a small boat, which then stared in the direction of the kitchen.
As soon as Nami saw the Sea beast, she was stunned. Isn't that the Sea cow Moo Moo that Arlong and the others raised?
Usopp said fearfully, "What is that thing? It's too big, isn't it?
Zoro asked doubtfully, "What does it want to do?"
Luffy replied, "Whatever it wants to do, if it dares to attack us, I'll send it flying."
Lin Hai stepped forward and said, "Should I stare it unconscious?"
Sanji didn't understand what Lin Hai meant by "stare unconscious" and said, "It must be hungry."
Luffy said determinedly, "So that's what it's planning. Watch me send it flying."
Sanji kicked Luffy away, "It's just hungry."
After speaking, Sanji went back to the kitchen and brought out a piece of meat.
Lin Hai said speechlessly, "Be careful it doesn't swallow you whole along with the meat."
Sanji kicked the Sea beast's chin and exclaimed, "It really is like that!"
Everyone couldn't help but darken their expressions.
Luffy's eyes suddenly lit up, "Everyone, why don't we let that Sea beast pull the ship?"
"nani?!" everyone exclaimed in unison.
Sanji asked doubtfully, "How is that possible!"
Lin Hai said speechlessly, "You're actually serious about that? I object to doing that."
Luffy asked doubtfully, "Why?"
Lin Hai rolled his eyes and said, "There are too many accidents that can happen if a Sea beast pulls the ship. If you're not afraid of this ship breaking, then let it pull!"
Usopp quickly stepped forward and echoed, "Don't let it pull the ship, Luffy, you should give up on that idea."
Lin Hai stepped forward and said, "I'm going to release Conqueror's Haki. Do you want to feel it?"
Except for Luffy and Zoro who didn't object, Nami and Usopp didn't dare to experience that pressure again!
However, Sanji didn't know, he didn't understand what Lin Hai wanted to do, and as a result, a powerful, terrifying, and irresistible aura rushed towards him. Sanji felt like he almost blacked out!
Sanji, who had recovered, was so angry that he grabbed Lin Hai's collar, "You bastard, tell me what kind of monster you are! Is this human strength?"
Lin Hai slapped Sanji's hand away and said disdainfully, "You're the one who's not human! This is Conqueror's Haki..."
Sanji asked doubtfully, "What is that thing?"
Lin Hai waved his hand and said, "Let's talk while we eat..."
.........Chapter 36 We are the Three Heroes of the East
Before they knew it, the Going Merry entered the vicinity of Cocoyasi Village and was immediately stopped by subordinates of the Arlong Pirates.
One of the leading Fish-Man Captains stepped forward and asked, "Nami, welcome back. You must have had a great haul this time, right? Hee hee hee..."
These Fish-Men looked like they were asking for a beating, but Luffy and the others remained silent as per their prior agreement.
Nami stepped forward and said, "It was alright. Where is Arlong? The Straw Hat Pirates are behind me. They discovered a treasure and want to cooperate with the Arlong Pirates. Take us to see him."
The Captain was puzzled and asked, "Treasure? Since they discovered it, would they still share it with others? You guys don't have some other motive, do you?"
"Motive?" Lin Hai stepped forward and pulled out the injured Roronoa Zoro, explaining, "This person next to me is the Pirate Hunter Roronoa Zoro, and he is now a member of our Pirate group. He suffered such severe injuries because our Pirate group couldn't handle it.
Listening to Nami, your Arlong Pirates can go against the heavens above and the earth below. You're incredibly awesome, so we wanted to find him to cooperate.
Hey, hurry up and take us. You can't make the decision anyway. Go quickly and report to your Captain Arlong, just say a big deal has arrived..."
The few Fish-Men exchanged glances, and finally decided to lead Luffy and the others to see Arlong.
The reason they did this was because the Fish-Men's Sea battles were truly impressive. To avoid any accidents, they adopted this strategy.
After the ship docked, Nami said, "I'm going home first, and then I'll go see Arlong later."
Lin Hai waved his hand and said, "Luffy, you go with Nami."
Luffy tried his best not to make a sound, because if that guy Luffy made a sound, Lin Hai and the others' objective would definitely be exposed!
The first step was completed, so the rest would be easier to handle.
As for leaving Arlong to Luffy? Lin Hai said, he can dream on...
Soon, the guiding Fish-Man replied, "Wait here for a moment, I'll go in and report..."
Lin Hai directly glared, stunning these small fry.
Usopp exclaimed, "Lin Hai, your power is too convenient!"
Lin Hai smiled and said, "It's alright. Sanji, didn't you want to make a cool entrance? Just kick the door open!"
Zoro scoffed, "Love-cook, this door is quite thick. Don't break your foot!"
Sanji said angrily, "What did you say!"
Lin Hai said speechlessly, "If you don't kick, I'm going in!"
Sanji quickly stopped him, "Wait, don't use that ability. Let us have some fun first."
Lin Hai said speechlessly, "Alright, alright, whatever you say..."
"Rumble..."
Arlong and a few cadres, who were resting on chairs inside A Long's Castle, were suddenly startled by the loud noise.
Arlong looked towards the entrance and asked in confusion, "What the hell happened? Xiao Ba..."
When the smoke cleared, who else could it be but Lin Hai and the others?
Arlong straightened up, and the other cadres took their positions.
Arlong said coldly, "Who are you? What are you doing here?"
Wahaha, Lin Hai, Sanji, and Usopp's eyes lit up, while Zoro stood to the side, because... it was too embarrassing!!
They saw Lin Hai standing in the middle, with Sanji and Usopp standing beside him, and then the three of them adopted the stance of the Four Great Scholars of Jiangnan from the movie 'Flirting Scholar'.
"We are the Three Heroes of the East." X3
"Three Heroes of the East?" Arlong turned and looked at his companions behind him, who all had confused looks.
Arlong replied, "Never heard of you. What do you actually want?"
Of course, they wanted to be cool and also wanted to practice their fighting techniques, otherwise it would just be a matter of glaring.
However, Lin Hai didn't dare tell Luffy and the others about these things, otherwise they would definitely be eliminated by them!
At this time, Lin Hai said, "Sanji, you speak."
"Cough cough." Sanji's eyes lit up, it was finally here!
Sanji struck a pose, pointing forty-five degrees towards the sky, and said loudly, "For world peace, for harmonious life between the sexes, for people not to be oppressed, today we represent freedom to eliminate you."
Saying that, Sanji, with a cigarette between his fingers, pointed at Arlong and his group.
Lin Hai and Usopp stood together and echoed, "Representing freedom, eliminating you!"
A drop of cold sweat was seen dripping from Usopp's nose.
And Zoro on the side had a flushed face. Why did he ever get on this ship? It was too embarrassing!
Arlong looked at the few people at the entrance for a while, his face turning gloomy, "Are you here to make fun of me? Very well, you have successfully angered me..."
Seeing Arlong about to make a move, Black Belt quickly stopped Arlong and explained, "Calm down. If you start fighting, Arlong Park will be destroyed."
Xiao Ba echoed, "That's right, Brother Arlong. Let us handle these guys. Just give us a few minutes."
"Ah, then I'll leave it to you." After speaking, Arlong sat back down in his seat.
Black Belt and Xiao Ba stepped forward, and Xiao Ba said, "Although your aspirations are great, this is Arlong Park, and I will not let you destroy it!"
Great aspirations?
Lin Hai nodded and said, "Of course our aspirations are great, unlike you smelly fish. You're really bold, not staying in the water but running onto land to bully humans. Aren't you afraid of being dried into fish jerky?"
As soon as he finished speaking, dense water droplets shot over like bullets.
Lin Hai took the opportunity to practice, dodging up, down, left, and right, but he was still hit by two drops, as they were too dense!
Meanwhile, Sanji, Usopp, and Zoro on the side were all hit. The power, like a machine gun, instantly made the three of them lose their fighting ability!
These water droplets were naturally flicked by Arlong, who had been angered by Lin Hai's words just now.
At this moment, Arlong, with red eyes, stepped forward and said, "You low-level humans, what have you done to my comrades? You can't even withstand a few drops of my water, yet you dare to speak insolently..."
Lin Hai looked at the people next to him. He didn't help them block just now, mainly to let them feel the power of a strong person compared to them...
At this time, Lin Hai stepped forward and said disdainfully, "Low-level humans? You're really awesome. You stupid fish are only fit to hide in a corner and bully some weak civilians to highlight your self-deceiving vanity."
Arlong stared at Lin Hai as if looking at a dead person, and then slowly said, "I hope your mouth is still this sharp later."
Just as Lin Hai was about to say something, he heard a voice, "Gum-Gum... Rocket Launcher..."
It turned out to be that guy Luffy who had arrived.
However, Luffy's attack was directly avoided by Arlong, and then Luffy and a small fry behind Arlong both flew out through the wall opposite.
A question appeared in everyone's minds, "What is going on here?!"
.........Chapter 37 Everyone Falls
"Rumble rumble..."
With a sound, everyone looked over and saw a hole appear in the wall.
Except for Lin Hai, Arlong, Zoro, and Sanji, everyone else present was confused about what was happening.
"What on earth happened?"
"It seemed like a shadow flew by just now, who was it?"
"Are they accomplices of those people?"
Seeing his Arlong Park being destroyed again, Arlong said in a low voice, "These guys, these guys, I'm going to kill them all!"
Black Belt quickly hugged Arlong's waist and advised, "Arlong, calm down. If you make a move, Arlong Park will really be destroyed!"
Before Arlong could speak, the villagers' noisy voices came from not far away. From these voices, a hint of anger and determination could be vaguely heard...
Arlong looked towards the entrance and said, "Let go of me, I won't mess around. What are those villagers doing here?"
At this moment, Luffy, who had crashed through the wall, came back again and said simply, "Hmm, that scared me to death. Fortunately, that person helped me out. He's really a good person."
The Arlong Pirates looked through the hole in the wall, and Arlong found his compatriot lying on the ground, already unconscious.
Arlong couldn't help but mutter, "You low-level humans, how could you injure my compatriot like this?"
After speaking, Arlong looked at the approaching villagers and asked, "What is this?"
Genzo, the village chief of Cocoyasi Village, stepped forward and said, "Arlong, today we are here to defeat you!"
Lin Hai applauded and said, "Exactly! How can we, dignified seven-foot men, be oppressed by these ruthless bandits? Go, Village Chief!"
Nami, who was beside him, punched Lin Hai on the head and said angrily, "What do you mean by this? Aren't you planning to make a move?"
Lin Hai put his arm around Nami's waist and smiled, "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."
Seeing Lin Hai so calm, Nami was not as nervous. After all, if Genzo fought Arlong, he would be instantly defeated!
And Sanji, who had recovered on the side, immediately became unhappy when he saw Lin Hai hugging Nami again. He said, "Lin Hai, let go of Miss Nami immediately!"
Lin Hai turned his head and said disdainfully, "You're like this just from some water being splashed on you. Go find a hole and hide."
"You bastard!!"
Arlong, who was ignored, his face darkened, and confirmed, "Are you planning to resist?"
The villagers immediately replied, "Yes, we have endured enough."
"If Nami hadn't held onto the hope of freeing the village all these years, we wouldn't have endured this much."
"Even if we die today, we will not accept the rule of the Arlong Pirates."
Arlong understood, turned to look at Lin Hai and the others, and asked, "What is your purpose?"
Lin Hai pulled the trembling Nami forward and said, "To kill you, this stinky fish."
Arlong's eyes flashed red light, "Nami, is this also what you mean?"
Nami said fearfully, "I, I..."
Lin Hai said speechlessly, "Nami, why are you thinking so much? The hatred of killing your mother, being exploited for eight years, ask your own heart..."
Nami struggled for a while, then turned around and smiled, "Sorry everyone, I'm not going to give in."
"What are you talking about? It should have been this way long ago."
"Nami, you've carried so much all these years, it's really been hard on you."
"We have long been prepared to risk our lives..."
Nami finally couldn't hold back and shed tears.
Lin Hai took out a cigarette and found he didn't have a light. His eyes suddenly lit up, and he walked over to Xiao Ba and asked, "Hey, can I borrow a light?"
"Huh?" Xiao Ba shook his head and said, "I don't smoke. If you want a light, go ask Qiu, he should have one."
Xiao Ba, who had reacted, quickly jumped to the side and pointed at Lin Hai: "You bastard, I won't lend you a light. We are enemies!"
Lin Hai rolled his eyes and said, "Just borrowing a light, you're really making a big fuss out of nothing. Go play on the side."
Xiao Ba quickly bowed and said, "I'm sorry."
Lin Hai waved his hand and said, "You're welcome."
Everyone fell over. What's going on with these two guys!
Arlong's face darkened, and he shouted loudly, "Xiao Ba, what are you doing?"
Xiao Ba, who had reacted, pointed at Lin Hai angrily and said, "You bastard, I'm going to kill you..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Ba immediately climbed into a room and took out six swords, pointing at Lin Hai and saying, "You destroyed Arlong Park, injured my compatriot, and insulted Brother Arlong. I'm going to kill you!"
Seeing Xiao Ba about to make a move, Lin Hai exclaimed, "Wait, how can you use six swords at the same time? That's too scary, Zoro save me!"
Everyone's faces darkened. This guy seemed to be shouting about killing just now, what kind of act is this now? Is this it?
However, Zoro didn't care much. He took three swords and stepped forward, pointing at Xiao Ba and saying, "Six Sword Style? Interesting."
Xiao Ba asked doubtfully, "You are the Pirate Hunter, Roronoa Zoro?"
Lin Hai echoed, "That's right. I wasn't afraid of you just now. If I made a move, I was afraid I would kill you with one punch, so aren't you going to thank me?"
To everyone's surprise, Xiao Ba bowed again and said, "Thank you."
Everyone fell over.
Lin Hai patted Usopp, "Did you learn anything?"
Usopp shook his head like a rattle drum, practically doubting life.
Joking aside, Arlong stepped forward at the right time and looked at Lin Hai, saying, "You were able to avoid my Water Shot just now, you have the qualifications to be my opponent..."
Before he finished speaking, Luffy stepped forward and interrupted, "Your opponent is me!"
Interrupted again and again, Arlong said angrily, "Who are you again?"
Luffy replied, "Monkey D. Luffy, the man who will become the Pirate King."
Pirate King?
"Tch... Hahaha..." Arlong laughed loudly, "Pirate King? You low-level human, you are so ignorant that I don't know what to say. What is your purpose?"
Luffy explained, "You made my navigator cry."
Arlong asked doubtfully, "Your navigator?"
Lin Hai rolled his eyes and said, "It's Nami, you stupid fish."
Arlong couldn't stand it anymore and immediately made a move, directly punching Lin Hai and saying very angrily, "You low-level human, you've insulted me again and again..."
Luffy stepped forward to block Arlong's punch and replied, "Your opponent is me!!"
Arlong looked at Luffy dangerously and said, "Don't worry, I will kill you all one by one, including those villagers."
Luffy replied, "If you have the ability, try it..."
Black Belt on the side also joined the battlefield and was stopped by Sanji.
The great battle thus began.
Lin Hai found that he could only be a bystander on the side, but it was quite nice to hug Nami...
.........Chapter 38 Look, there are cows flying in the sky
Zoro was too seriously injured before, and was at a bit of a disadvantage in the duel with Xiao Ba.
Nami on the side said worriedly: "Lin Hai, aren't you going to help Zoro?"
Lin Hai said with a laugh: "You need to have more confidence in your companions. This is just the beginning. Zoro is going to become the World's Greatest Swordsman. If he falls in such a small scene, he might as well go home and sleep early."
Before Nami could retort, Zoro took off the scarf tied to his arm and tied it to his head, turned his head happily to look at Lin Hai, and then said: "Octopus, today I'll show you what real swordsmanship is!"
"Three-Sword Style Secret Technique, Tornado."
As a result, Xiao Ba was defeated just like that.
Lin Hai secretly spat, Zoro, this shameless guy, real swordsmanship? Lin Hai hasn't even boasted about his own swordsmanship, and this low-level swordsmanship is worth showing off, bah...
Nami turned her head and asked doubtfully: "What are you spitting at?"
"Ah haha..." Lin Hai quickly explained: "That Six-Sword Style is really bad, too weak!"
Suddenly, a water bubble shot over and was directly swatted away by Lin Hai.
It turned out to be Qiu's spit!
Lin Hai exclaimed: "Stinky fish, aren't you too unhygienic? Attacking with spit, that's too disgusting!!"
Qiu's cheeks were red as she said: "That's not spit, that's a water bubble!"
Lin Hai waved his hand and said: "Whatever you are, Usopp!"
Usopp asked doubtfully: "What is it?"
Lin Hai said: "I'll leave it to you. Train well, I believe you can do it!"
Usopp said in surprise: "Can I really do it? Thank you for your trust."
As soon as he finished speaking, Usopp turned around and ran.
"nani?!" Everyone exclaimed.
"Qiu haha..." Qiu said disdainfully: "Lowly humans, are you so timid?"
"Poof..."
As soon as Qiu finished speaking, a fireball shot over. Qiu subconsciously blocked with her hand, and then her arm caught fire!
Qiu exclaimed: "I'm going to become dried fish, hot hot hot..."
Usopp put on his goggles and smiled proudly: "Stinky fish, your opponent is me!"
Everyone's face darkened. This guy!
Finally putting out the fire, Qiu said angrily: "If you have the guts, stand still!"
Usopp quickly ran away. Just as Qiu was about to ignore him, he sneak attacked again, making Qiu so angry that she chased after Usopp...
Lin Hai smiled and said: "Did you see that? You should learn more of this tactic in the future, Nami!"
Nami shivered, because Lin Hai's hand moved and touched her!
Nami's face turned red, and she turned her head and said: "Let go!"
The reacting Lin Hai quickly let go. How could he have gotten carried away just now!
At this time, the battle between Sanji and Black Belt was over. Sanji's kicking skills were quite good, more than enough to deal with these little rookies!
The remaining battle was between Luffy and Arlong.
Seeing his compatriots fall one by one, Arlong was so angry he almost went berserk.
Suddenly, Luffy was hit by a punch from Arlong, and then fell into the Sea. Lin Hai had to make a move.
With a jump, Lin Hai blocked Arlong who was thinking of going into the Sea.
Arlong said with a gloomy face: "Get out of the way."
Lin Hai said disdainfully: "Are you an idiot? Sanji, go fish Luffy up, it's my turn!"
Arlong stared at Lin Hai dangerously and said slowly: "Since you're in such a hurry to die, I'll send you on your way first, Shark Darts!"
What the heck is flying, with this speed?
Lin Hai didn't plan to defeat Arlong in one move, but wanted to train his own combat experience.
Instantly, Lin Hai punched the shoulder of the flying Arlong.
"Rumble..."
Arlong was seen being punched into A Long's Castle by Lin Hai, instantly raising a cloud of dust.
The villagers immediately exclaimed, "Who is that young man? He's amazing."
"Not sure, I only know he's someone Nami brought back."
"Is Arlong defeated? By the way, do humans really have this kind of power?"
Nami on the side saw Lin Hai punch Arlong away. This feeling of crushing was completely different from the fight Luffy and the others had just had.
Nami knew Lin Hai was very strong, but after seeing this scene, she was immediately overjoyed. Could she and this village really escape Arlong's rule?
Zoro, who was resting on the ground, looked at Lin Hai in surprise. Arlong's strength could be inferred from the water attacks just now. He didn't expect Lin Hai to have surpassed him by so much!
It seems I need to intensify my training from now on!
At this time, after the smoke dispersed, Arlong was seen holding a large cleaver, the tip of which was saw-shaped.
Arlong walked out of the castle he built, burning with rage, and then cursed: "You lowly humans, today I will kill every single one of you!"
Lin Hai suddenly pointed to the sky and said: "Look, there's a cow flying in the sky!"
Everyone was attracted by Lin Hai's action. When they reacted, everyone tried their best to hold back their laughter while looking at the enraged Arlong.
Arlong walked not far from Lin Hai and said in a low voice: "I hope you can still be so sharp-tongued later."
Lin Hai said speechlessly: "If you want to fight, fight. You talk too much nonsense, it's annoying."
"Ah, Lin Hai, you guy, quickly move aside, he's mine." Luffy, who was fished up by Sanji, couldn't help but say when he saw Lin Hai confronting Arlong.
Lin Hai rolled his eyes and said: "You've already had your turn, now it's mine!"
"Hmph... Hahaha..." Arlong laughed back in anger: "You lowly humans, come at me together, today I will..."
"Rumble..."
Before Arlong could finish speaking, Lin Hai punched Arlong into the castle he built again.
Lin Hai picked his ears, pointed in the direction Arlong flew out, and asked doubtfully: "Where did this fish come from? It couldn't have run out of a mental hospital, could it?"
The corners of everyone's eyes twitched.
Luffy said angrily: "Lin Hai, didn't we agree to leave Arlong to me? How could you attack!"
Lin Hai said speechlessly: "Who told you to be so unserious every day? You've trained for so long, and you can't even beat a fish. You, move aside..."
Before he finished speaking, Arlong was seen charging fiercely again with his nose from the collapsed area.
"Lowly humans, it's impossible for me to be defeated by you. Hmph hahaha... Die!"
Observation Haki had already given a warning. As long as he hadn't confirmed that the opponent had lost their combat ability, Lin Hai didn't relax his vigilance!
After pushing Luffy away, Lin Hai took the opportunity to perform a bicycle kick, directly kicking the charging Arlong in the head.
"Rumble..."
A large pit suddenly appeared on the ground.
Everyone hadn't reacted yet and were startled by the sudden loud noise!
.........Chapter 39: One Sword Style, Chrysanthemum Slash
What happened? What was that sound?
I think I heard Arlong's voice just now, it sounded like Arlong...
Look, there's a big pit ahead, who did that?
When the smoke cleared, Lin Hai was standing in the field, and Luffy was sitting on the ground to the side.
Just then, Luffy, who had reacted, rushed over to Lin Hai and said angrily, "Lin Hai, you guy, Arlong must be defeated by me!"
Lin Hai nodded and said, "Alright, I won't interfere."
Luffy said in surprise, "Arlong, come out now, I'm going to punch you away!"
Sanji, who was off to the side, had already seen that Arlong had fainted in the big pit, and quickly reminded him, "Arlong is over there, what are you shouting at that building for?"
Following the direction of Sanji's finger, Luffy saw that Arlong had already been defeated!
So what now? Wake him up and then fight him?
Luffy was a bit dejected.
Lin Hai, who was on the side, said with malicious amusement, "Luffy, go fight him, he's right there, go and beat him hard!"
The villagers, who had reacted, were suddenly overjoyed. After being oppressed for eight years, was this nightmare finally over?
"Pinch me, this isn't a dream, is it?"
"Arlong's nightmare, is it finally over?"
"And Hu, we are finally free, hahahaha..."
"Don't just be happy amongst yourselves, quickly go and inform the villagers in other villages!"
Not far away, Nami couldn't help but cry with joy. She could finally breathe a sigh of relief. Perhaps this breath had been held for too long, and amidst the joy, there was a hint of sadness, "Wuwuwu, Belle-Mere..."
Lin Hai didn't plan to comfort Nami. This kind of wound could only be healed by herself...
Just then, Village Chief A Jian stepped forward, looked at Arlong lying unconscious in the big pit, and then said, "Everyone, how should we deal with Arlong next?"
"Village Chief, does that even need to be said? Of course, we kill him."
"Yes, kill him, he has brought us too much pain over the years!"
"The one he brought the most pain to should be Nami, right? Let her handle it!"
Just then, Lin Hai directly brought Arlong from the big pit in front of the villagers.
Seeing Arlong's appearance, Nami became a little emotional, holding a dagger but hesitating to stab it down.
In the end, Nami still dropped the dagger in her hand.
Sanji, who was on the side, had hearts in his eyes and spun around, saying, "Miss Nami is not only beautiful but also so kind, I love you, Miss Nami..."
Luffy stepped forward, patted Nami's shoulder, and said seriously, "Nami, I agree with what you did, don't let hatred blind your eyes."
The villagers nearby also started to agree.
Lin Hai, who was on the side, couldn't help it, "I object!"
Everyone looked at Lin Hai in confusion, while Lin Hai walked over to Arlong, directly picked him up, and said slowly, "I know you are kind-hearted, but kindness is always relative, you must understand this.
What did this guy do? Let's not talk about what level our state of mind should reach, just talk about how many lives Arlong has taken and how many people he has enslaved for so many years?
For this kind of scum, if you still talk about forgiveness with him, then you deserve what you got all these years!!"
"nani?!" Everyone exclaimed in unison.
Ignoring everyone's reaction, Lin Hai said loudly, "Paying off debts is only right. The hatred for killing one's mother is irreconcilable.
Nami! You are not a saint, and I don't ask you to be one. If you don't personally finish this guy, will you truly be happy?
Be strong. As Belle-Mere's daughter, you should do something for her. Use Arlong's life to pay tribute to her.
If you don't dare, shall I do it for you?"
Everyone looked at Nami.
The hatred for killing one's mother is irreconcilable and must be avenged. Worrying about being blinded by hatred or anything like that is something to consider only after killing Arlong!
Nami, who had been thinking for a while on the side, looked at the villagers, showed a smile, and picked up the dagger without hesitation to give Arlong a stab...
Many villagers present had this thought. After Lin Hai's guidance, they were even more determined, and the A Long's Castle immediately echoed with cheers again...
Sanji, who was on the side, walked over to Lin Hai and couldn't help but mutter, "Lin Hai, you bastard, don't pollute Nami's pure heart!"
Lin Hai asked, "What would you do if someone killed Zeff, the head chef of the Sea Restaurant?"
Sanji blurted out, "I'd slaughter all of them!"
Lin Hai said disdainfully, "There you go, why do you ask Nami to forgive Arlong? Forgiving Arlong is God's business, what Nami needs to do is send him to see God!"
Luffy exclaimed, "I see."
Nami walked over to Lin Hai, looked at him for a while, and then bowed to everyone, "Thank you!"
Just then, Lin Hai said, "Nami, I'll give you another gift!"
After speaking, Lin Hai waved his hand and said, "Everyone, step back a little, stay away from the base!"
"Space Field, scan..."
That's right, Lin Hai learned Trafalgar Law's move. After all, the two of them have many similarities in their ability to create a Space Field!
Suddenly, a mountain of treasure appeared in the field. In fact, these treasures were all from A Long's Castle.
Seeing so many glittering treasures suddenly appear, the villagers were all amazed, because they didn't know about Devil Fruit! They thought it was a miracle!
"What's going on? How did so much treasure suddenly appear here!"
"This should be done by that young man, right? Could it be that he's giving these things to Nami?"
Luffy, who was on the side, pouted, "What? I thought it was something delicious!"
Sanji poked Luffy's head, "Baka, with so much treasure, you can buy whatever you want to eat!"
"Really?" Luffy immediately clasped his hands to his chest, leaned forward, and asked Nami with sparkling eyes, "Nami, can you give me some?"
Nami couldn't hear what others were saying, she was completely in a ($_$) state...
Zoro, who was on the side, noticed that Lin Hai had not lifted his ability state and asked in confusion, "Lin Hai, what else do you want to do?"
Lin Hai smiled and said, "You'll know in a moment."
"One-Sword Style, Chrysanthemum Slash!!"
Lin Hai slashed wildly at A Long's Castle, and immediately, A Long's Castle collapsed piece by piece, raising huge clouds of dust...
"Cough cough cough... What happened again!"
"Ah, you scared me to death, this young man is too reckless!"
"Everyone look, A Long's Castle has turned into ruins!"
"Hiss, Sugoi..."
.........Chapter 40 I Will Become the Adventure King
Because of the collapse of A Long's Castle, everyone nearby was plagued by this dust!
A small stone happened to fall on Zoro's head, and the very displeased Zoro retorted, "Is this your swordsmanship? Anyone can slash wildly, and 'Chrysanthemum Slash'?"
Lin Hai said disdainfully, "Others have no taste, I didn't expect you to be so tasteless either. Didn't you see I just slashed along the center?"
Zoro was about to refute when suddenly a small boy ran up, his eyes shining, and excitedly said, "Big Brother, you were so cool just now. I want to become a person like you in the future. Can you take me out to Sea?"
Lin Hai looked him up and down. What kind of joke is this seven or eight-year-old kid making? Take him out to Sea?
However, seeing the hat on Luffy's head who was playing around with Usopp and the others, Lin Hai suddenly felt a wicked sense of humor.
"Cough cough..." Lin Hai squatted down and gently stroked the little boy's hair. Lin Hai chuckled softly, "Wait for me for a moment."
After speaking, Lin Hai quickly exchanged a fake mustache from the system and stuck it on his lip. Then he released a little bit of Conqueror's Haki, causing everyone to look over involuntarily.
Lin Hai asked softly, "What's your name?"
Luffy ran over and interrupted Lin Hai, "Huh? Who are you? Where's Lin Hai?"
Lin Hai kicked Luffy away, put his hand on the little boy's shoulder, and continued to smile, "Let's ignore him, what's your name?"
The little boy didn't understand, and replied blankly, "My name is Cloxy."
Lin Hai put on the expression Shanks had when he gave the Straw Hat to Luffy, and then said, "Cloxy, you're still too young, we won't take you out to Sea."
After speaking, Lin Hai exchanged an Adidas hat from the system, a white one...
Lin Hai placed the hat on Cloxy's head and then said, "Cloxy, I heard your parents were persecuted by Arlong a few years ago, so you must be strong.
Here, this hat is my most precious treasure, quality guaranteed, ugh, that, this hat accompanied me through many desperate situations and countless battles. Luffy asked for it before, but I couldn't bear to give it to him. Now I'll entrust it to you for safekeeping.
Cloxy, this is not an ordinary hat. When you are lonely, this hat is your companion, hoping it can accompany you through sad times; when you are lost, this hat is the guiding light for your progress; when you are in pain, this hat is the medicine to soothe your wounds...
Cloxy, when you become an excellent womanizer, ugh, when you become an excellent adventurer in the future, I'll ask for it back. We've made a promise, okay!"
Luffy on the side had a face full of black lines. He was familiar with this scene! This Lin Hai has such a wicked sense of humor! But, is everything Lin Hai said true?
"Wuwuwu, Lin Hai, you are too great!" Luffy was suddenly moved by Lin Hai!
At this moment, many villagers actually started crying along...
"Wuwuwu, it's too touching, too romantic!!"
"Uwahwah, Lin Hai, you are a true man!"
"What a touching speech, it's truly moving..."
What's happening? Lin Hai was confused. These villagers were so excited that Lin Hai almost believed it himself!
At this moment, Cloxy raised his head. His face was covered in tears, and he said firmly and loudly, "Lin Hai, we've made a promise. I will take good care of this hat! I will treat it as my companion! Before returning this hat to you, I will definitely keep it safe!"
Lin Hai nodded, smiled without speaking, then got up and waved, leaving Cloxy with the back of a true man. Lin Hai was very satisfied with this performance!
A moment later, Cloxy shouted loudly towards Lin Hai's back, "Lin Hai, I've decided, in the future I will become the Adventure King!"
Lin Hai almost stumbled. Oh my, he got too into the act. If he said he was joking with him now, what kind of psychological trauma would that cause?
Lin Hai felt terrible!
There's no helping it, this performance, he can only see it through!
Lin Hai once again showed a warm smile, turned around and replied, "Oh? Adventure King? So, you're going to surpass us?"
Cloxy nodded firmly, "Yes! I will find even better companions than you, and then surpass you. Adventure King, I'm determined to become one!"
Sanji, Zoro, Nami, and others on the side gave Luffy a strange look. Pirate King? Adventure King?
Interesting!!
Luffy, who was originally moved, now had a face full of black lines again. Imitation is shameful! Piracy is strictly prohibited! Must protest!
Meanwhile, Lin Hai on the side was very depressed. From Cloxy's words, Lin Hai knew this little kid was serious! But with his ordinary person's body, won't he drown in the Sea then?
Lin Hai really wanted to give him an overpowered skill, but unfortunately, the system stipulates that items like Devil Fruit, cultivation techniques, etc., cannot be used by anyone other than the host!
Lin Hai could only continue to pretend to smile and say, "I believe you can do it!"
Just then, an untimely laugh rang out, "Jijiji... Are you all Pirates? All those treasures are confiscated."
Walking over was none other than Captain Nezumi, who governed this Sea area. Originally, Captain Nezumi came to negotiate with Arlong, but he didn't expect to gain so much today! At this moment, Captain Nezumi was leading his subordinates, all surrounding them. Treasures, there's no reason not to take them.
Going to confiscate so much treasure?
How could they tolerate this? Nami was the first to step forward and say, "These treasures belong to the villagers, you have no right to handle them!"
Lin Hai quickly pushed Luffy, who was still in a daze, "Luffy, if you want to become famous, quickly step forward and introduce yourself, then beat up that Captain Nezumi. I guarantee you'll be famous all over the Sea!"
Luffy's eyes lit up, and he quickly walked in front of Nami, "My name is Monkey D. Luffy, the man who will become the Pirate King. Who are you?"
"Jijiji..." Captain Nezumi replied, "Pirate King? Jijiji, truly ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth. Was that Arlong defeated by you?"
Luffy nodded, "That's right."
Usopp also wanted to chime in, but Lin Hai pulled him back. Lin Hai whispered, "Why are you so ignorant of the rules? Let the Captain show off first."
Sanji asked doubtfully, "If we beat him, can we also become famous besides the Captain?"
Lin Hai nodded, "Do as I say later, and I guarantee you'll all have bounties!"
Nami said speechlessly, "You guys, do you have any idea how serious things will be after you get bounties?"
Lin Hai put his arm around Nami's waist and said jokingly, "As Pirates, if we don't have bounties, where do we put our faces?"
At this moment, Captain Nezumi had already ordered his subordinates to point their guns at Luffy.
Lin Hai, Sanji, and Usopp walked behind Luffy, and the two sides formed a standoff again.
If it went according to Luffy's wishes, only he himself would get a bounty. So, Lin Hai's eyes widened, and his Conqueror's Haki shook all the gun-wielding fodder until they lost their fighting ability.
Then Lin Hai shouted loudly, "Everyone, beat him up."
"I'll let you 'jijiji', you smelly rat..."
"I'll let you come and steal my treasures, these treasures are all mine!"
"Hey, smelly rat, look closely, my name is Sanji, and I'm the one beating you up!"
Captain Nezumi wailed, "I don't want those treasures anymore, I don't care about anything, please spare me..."
Lin Hai shouted loudly, "Then hurry up and scram? Remember, the ones who beat you up are us, the Straw Hat Pirates..."
Captain Nezumi, who had run far away, turned back and said fiercely, "I remember you, Straw Hat Pirates, you've gotten yourselves into big trouble. Just you wait and see, I'll be back..."
Lin Hai picked up Arlong's shoe, aimed at Captain Nezumi, and shouted, "Go, Pikachu!"
Bingo...
