Pirate: I have a Hollow living inside me!

Before he could strike with his sword, the dragon's right arm muscles bulged.

He threw a punch at the oncoming Rocks using the starting stance of Fishman Karate.

This punch can easily shatter a boulder!

"A serious punch!!"

Rocks's smile was arrogant and unrestrained as he looked at the huge fist coming at him, without dodging or blocking it.

He simply threw a straight punch.

'Om! '

The moment he threw the punch, he was surrounded by Armament Haki and also used the special power generation techniques of the Duke Style.

Ripples appeared faintly on Rocks' fist, and the air itself seemed to tremble under the force of his punch.

This is Rocks' serious punch.

Without testing or holding back, they went straight for the kill!

This is Rocks' fighting style; even a lion uses its full strength to hunt a rabbit.

Once someone is identified as an enemy, Rocks will eliminate them as quickly as possible!

'Boom! Crack!'

So what if the fish-men have superhuman strength?

Rocks himself was already very strong, not to mention he was surrounded by Armament Haki and used the "secret technique" of Duke-style fist.

The moment their fists collided, a deafening explosion was heard, followed by the sound of bones shattering...

"Ahhh!"

A piercing scream came from the dragon's mouth.

With Rocks' punch, the dragon's right arm burst open like an inflated balloon.

The penetrating fist continued to strike, damaging the interior, and most of the dragon's body was directly blown apart.

Blood, bones, and bits of flesh flew everywhere.

The scene was extremely bloody...

The next moment, the dragon's mutilated body flew backward involuntarily, crashing into the building behind it and shattering it into pieces...

"As expected of a merman, he actually withstood my punch. One should not underestimate the powerful beings of the sea..."

According to his Observation Haki, the dragon's aura was still present.

Even though half of his body was blown apart, he was not completely dead.

Lockes couldn't help but sigh.

A full-force punch failed to destroy the opponent.

Such a resilient body and such strong vitality, truly worthy of being a fish-man!

"Feint!"

Based on the cautious idea of ​​taking advantage of someone's weakness to kill them, Lox curled his index finger.

Emerald green light danced at her fingertips, forming an energy ball the size of a volleyball.

'Boom!!'

With a flick of his finger, the volleyball-sized projectile flew from Rocks' hand and slammed straight into the ruins.

An explosive sound that vibrated the eardrums rang out.

In an instant, flames shot into the sky and shockwaves spread.

The ruins, along with the dying dragon, turned into fragments in the next moment.

All that remained in the field was a huge, charred crater, emitting wisps of black smoke...

"..."

The surrounding sober people fell into a deathly silence.

Especially the members of the Arlong Pirates, their eyes were practically bulging out of their sockets.

Their backbone, the most powerful evil dragon.

He was killed instantly, without even leaving a body behind...

"A monster..."

Bucky's mouth was also wide open, his expression equally out of control, staring blankly at the scene.

Just who is this guy?

That's terrifying!

'That was...that was really close...'

Bucky felt a strange sense of relief welling up inside him.

Fortunately, he had backed down quickly and hadn't angered Rocks.

Even that purple-skinned fishman couldn't withstand it, let alone an ordinary person like myself; I'd probably be beaten to a pulp!

"Damn it! They actually killed the dragon boss!"

"Let's attack together and avenge our boss!"

"Kill him!"

Perhaps it was the sense of loyalty and the desire for revenge that dispelled the deep fear in the fishmen's hearts.

The Arlong Pirates' officers and the few fishmen who were still conscious had no intention of running away.

Instead, his eyes turned bloodshot as he charged toward Rocks.

He wanted to avenge the dead dragon...

Even knowing they are no match, they will not back down!

This act was tantamount to suicide, but it deserves praise.

Even the most wicked pirates have a sense of loyalty!

"Guina, they're yours."

Without even glancing at the murderous mermen charging towards him, Lox turned to Kuina and said, "These mermen are quite strong; you can practice against them."

Chopping the grass does not remove the roots, but the spring breeze blows and regenerates.

Rocks would not commit acts of bullying men and women, burning, killing, and looting.

However, he would not hold back against his enemies.

Even if these fishmen didn't attack, Lox wouldn't let them go.

Anyway, it wasn't him who wiped out the Arlong Pirates here, it was the Buggy Pirates, so the Buggy Pirates will take the blame...

"it is good!"

Guina responded.

With the Wado Ichimonji drawn from his sword, he charged towards the oncoming fish-man executives...

"Isshin-ryu Rondo!"

Kuina is quite powerful and trains diligently; even the strongest dragon might not be her match.

At this moment, the sword blade struck down, like a fluorescent light falling from a blade.

In the flash of her sword, several mermen fell dead by her blade, blood splattering as they collapsed in pools of blood, lifeless, amidst screams…

Only three stronger merfolk officers remain.

The three of them working together caused Kuina some trouble, but Kuina still had the upper hand.

Each of her strikes was incredibly skillful, yet it exuded a chilling aura of killing intent.

It only took about ten minutes.

The last three officers also died one after another by Kuina's sword...

With a flick of her wrist, she shook off the blood-stained Wado Ichimonji, and with a clang, it sheathed itself. Kuina looked at the octopus-like fish-man who had finally fallen to her sword, and commented indifferently, "Six-Sword Style? A flashy but impractical swordsmanship..."

I thought this octopus-like fishman's six-sword style would give her plenty of fun.

The result was merely flashy but impractical swordsmanship.

It didn't really pique her interest...

"..."

Rocks glanced at the dead octopus Hachi, but paid it no mind.

Those who aid and abet evil will simply die.

Locus looked at Kuina, who had sheathed her sword and was standing there: "What are your thoughts on your first battle with a merman?"

After thinking for a moment, Kuina said, "They are very strong and their bodies are very tough. It will take some effort to cut them open."

Locus said, "The physique of fishmen is indeed stronger than that of ordinary people, but once you reach the Iron-Cutting Realm, it will no longer be a problem."

"nonsense!"

Kuina glanced at Lox speechlessly, then pondered, "I feel like I'm almost at the Iron-Cutting Realm, I just need the right opportunity..."

Chapter 18 The Demise of the Arlong Pirates!

"This...this is..."

When Nami and Nojiko arrived, they saw the chaotic scene at Arlong Park.

Both of them wore expressions of shock and astonishment.

The powerful murlocs in my memory lay like dead dogs in a pool of blood.

Blood stained a large area of ​​the ground, and even the swimming pool connecting to the sea turned blood red.
