One Piece: Trying 200 times harder, but being too overbearing.

Not long ago, a village was unable to pay its "offerings," and all the houses in the village were overturned.

They went to that village specifically to witness the terrifying power of the fish-men. Even they had difficulty overturning houses weighing several tons, let alone ordinary marines.

And there are nearly a hundred of these powerful merman warriors!

Major Loya had specifically instructed them to be honest with Nami, so neither of them intended to deceive the other.

"We went to Gosuna Village, and the Fishmen's strength far exceeded our expectations. If the Navy wants to defeat the Fishman Pirates, they will definitely pay a heavy price!"

"Since you know how powerful the merfolk are, why do you still want to fight them?"

Nami couldn't understand.

As the only human "surveyor" in the Arlong Pirates, she actually knew better than anyone how powerful the Arlong Pirates were.

Even a mere officer could easily destroy a warship!

She had long since given up hope.

Not to mention, the Arlong Pirates are backed by the infamous Shichibukai "Jinbe," and even the Navy is unwilling to take action against the Arlong Pirates.

Raising 100 million Berries to redeem the village was her only remaining hope, even though deep down she knew that Arlong was likely deceiving her, she had no other choice.

"Because we trust the Major!"

"The Major doesn't easily grant requests, but once he makes a promise, he will definitely keep it!" said Finbdi in a deep voice.

"No matter the cost, even if we all perish, we will defeat the Arlong Pirates!"

"Furthermore, we firmly believe that the Major will definitely defeat Aaron!"

Only trust!

Nami remained silent for a long time before sharply questioning, "If your major ordered you to your deaths, would you do it without hesitation?"

"We don't want to die!"

Both of them shook their heads simultaneously, their eyes piercing.

"The major said that sacrifice must have meaning!"

"If the major orders us to our deaths, and if our deaths will bring victory, then we will not retreat a single step!"

"We are the Navy!"

"The justice we bear does not allow us to back down when faced with evil!"

Few are unafraid of death, but on the day they join the Navy, every Navy sailor will face death.

Nami pursed her lips.

The two men in front of me are genuine naval personnel who can be trusted.

"what should I do?"

"We need detailed information about the Arlong Pirates, as well as their usual area of ​​activity and modus operandi!"

The most formidable aspect of fish-men is not their strength, which is ten times that of humans, but their near-invincible combat ability in the ocean.

They had no chance of winning a naval battle.

The navy can only win if the battlefield is on land.

Several days later, Chacha Village, one of the 20 villages and towns ruled by the Arlong Pirates.

Every month, the Arlong Pirates would collect offerings, and if even one person in the village refused to pay, the entire village would be violently destroyed.

That's how Housha Village disappeared.

"The mermen are here!"

"It's the cadre Croobi!"

The time to pay the monthly offerings is the most terrifying time for the villagers. When the Arlong Pirates arrived, too many villagers who couldn't pay were killed.

Even after paying tribute and being spared the threat of death, the merfolk's brutality still terrified them.

With four underlings, Kroobi stood at the village entrance, an open bag in front of him. Without a word, the villagers lined up to offer their tribute.

Soon, all the villagers paid their money.

Croobi nodded slightly, picked up the money bag, and turned to leave. Unlike "Chirp," who was also an officer, he did not have a penchant for torturing humans.

They'd be better off using that time to hone their Fishman Karate.

However, when they left the village, far from the coast, they were blocked by a sudden surge of the navy.

"navy?!"

A dense swarm of navy soldiers poured out from all directions, surrounding the group. Even with their formidable strength, they couldn't help but feel flustered in the face of so many navy soldiers.

"Brother Croobbi!"

"calm down!"

Croobi's gaze was cold.

With so many naval forces lying in ambush outside the village, the villagers couldn't possibly be unaware of it. Once we get back, we'll definitely destroy this village!

Crooby stepped forward and calmly asked, "Where did you come from in the navy? Captain Rat of the 16th Branch is a good friend of our Captain Arlong. Is there some misunderstanding here?"

"Colonel Rat, very good testimony."

Loya slowly drew his sword and gave the order in a cold voice.

"No need to hold back, kill all these murlocs!"

"Yes!"

Chapter 64 Are you teaching me how to do something?

"For justice!"

The marines roared as they drew their swords and charged toward the fishmen within the encirclement.

"Damn humans!"

With bloodshot eyes, Croobi assumed a karate stance and slapped an approaching marine so hard he coughed up blood and staggered backward.

But even more marines rushed up!

"Die!"

The long sword swung down!

"Qiang!"

Croobbi immediately raised his right arm and used the fin on the outside of his shoulder to block the blade. Only his skin was cut open, and a little blood oozed out.

He has triangular fins growing from his elbows to his shoulders, and his skin is covered with fish bones that are as hard as steel. These are his best defensive weapons and his strongest means of attack.

"what!"

With a twist of his body, his fins easily deflected the marine's blade, and then Croobi roared as he threw a straight punch.

"Fishman Karate - Five Hundred Tiles Straight Punch!"

"boom!"

Several marines directly in front of him screamed as they were sent flying backward, knocking down more than ten people. The powerful arm strength shocked the marines.

This is a fishman!

"Summon your courage! The enemy is Croobi, a powerful pirate with a bounty of 900 million Berries and a high rank of the Fishman Pirates. It's only right that we have this strength!"

"The injured step back, the rest of you take over!"

"Don't give the enemy time to breathe!"

"Show us the results of your cultivation!"

Without orders, the marines spontaneously organized an attack.

Before the battle, Major Loya had given them detailed intelligence about the enemy. Although the enemy was incredibly powerful, they had an absolute numerical advantage. As long as they exhausted the enemy's strength, victory would surely be theirs.

They've graduated; they're no longer newcomers who need protection!

"For justice!"

"Oh oh oh!!!"

The marines' fearless charge and high morale terrified the fish-men.

"These navy men are insane!"

With his face covered in blood, Croobi angrily sent all the surrounding marines flying. The increasing injuries on his body made him consider retreating.

Where did such an elite navy come from?!

"Get away! Don't come any closer!"

"Ouch! I'm hurt!"

"Help me, Brother Croobi."

As time went by, one by one, his companions fell down.
