Pirates: Martial Arts Masters on the Straw Hat Ship

However, just as the massive blade was about to engulf Ronan, a figure darted in like a cannonball.

"Your opponent—is me!!!"

Luffy didn't use any fancy moves; he simply threw a straight punch that landed squarely on Arlong's blade!

"when!!!"

The deafening sound of metal colliding was deafening.

Ah Long felt an unbelievable, strange force coming from him. He was blasted back several steps by the punch, and his feet plowed two deep furrows in the ground.

"Wh...what?!" Ah Long stared in shock at the small, thin human wearing a straw hat in front of him.

Luffy withdrew his fist, pressed down on his straw hat, and his usually carefree eyes were now filled with icy killing intent.

"Go to hell!!"

Arlong, enraged, opened his massive mouth, large enough to crush cannonballs, revealing rows of gleaming fangs, and bit down on Luffy's shoulder!

"Snap!"

The sound of teeth biting can be clearly heard.

However, the expected scene of blood splattering did not occur.

Luffy stood still, completely motionless.

Ah Long's teeth were biting into his shoulder as if they were biting into a steel plate wrapped in incredibly tough old cowhide!

Arlong's pupils dilated in shock. He opened his mouth and stared in horror at the faint white mark and bloodstains on Luffy's shoulder.

"This...how is this possible?! My teeth can crush stones! What is your body made of?!"

Luffy patted the drool off his shoulder, grinned, and revealed a set of big white teeth:

"I'm now a rubber man with skin of copper and bones of iron!"

"A body of steel? Don't be ridiculous!"

Ah Long went berserk and swung his knife at the enemy again.

But just as Ronan had predicted, after the second stage of the Thirteen Bodyguards' rigorous training...

Luffy's rubber body, which was already immune to blunt force, has now also greatly increased its resistance to slashes and punctures.

Ah Long's attacks no longer posed a threat to him.

On the other side of the battlefield.

Seeing that Ah Long was being blocked, the remaining three cadres finally couldn't hold back any longer.

"Since you're courting death, then so be it!"

Croobi, the soft-boned fishman and the second-in-command of the Arlong Pirates, a master of Fishman Karate with a 40th dan, fixed his cold gaze on Ronan, who was wreaking havoc.

"You despicable humans who only know how to use weapons, taste the real Fishman Karate!"

Croobi assumed a fighting stance, exuding a calm and composed demeanor, and strode towards Ronan.

At the same time, Hachi, wielding six swords, charged towards Zoro.

Meanwhile, the kissing fishman, Chu, puffed out his cheeks and spat out water bullets like a machine gun, heading straight for Sanji.

Ronan watched as Crooby charged toward him, casually tossing aside a fish-man corpse from the tip of his spear, turned around, and a hint of mockery in his eyes.

"Fishman Karate? That's starting to pique my interest."

"Arrogant!"

Croobbi roared, unleashing a powerful punch with his right palm, creating a surge of energy: "Thousand-Watt Straight Punch!"

This punch was powerful and heavy; if it hit an ordinary person, it would be enough to shatter all their bones.

Instead of retreating, Ronan advanced, raising his eighteen-foot iron spear sharply. It wasn't a thrust, but rather like a giant iron rod, whistling through the air, as it slammed down from above!

"Xingyi Spear - White Clouds Overhead!"

This move was as powerful as Mount Tai pressing down, blocking all of Croobi's paths.

Croobi sneered, "Foolish! Such a long weapon is just scrap metal once it gets into close combat!"

Instead of dodging, he stretched out his powerful hands and tried to grab the barrel of the gun that Ronan was smashing down.

In his view, as long as he had the weapon, he could easily throw the human away or break the iron rod with his merman strength.

"Grasp?"

Ronan looked at Crooby's outstretched hand, his sneer deepening: "You think you can handle a trembling spear?"

"Buzz—!!"

The moment Croobbi's hand touched the gun barrel, a strange and terrifying shockwave suddenly erupted along the gun shaft!

Ronan's wrist trembled at an extremely high frequency, and the hundred-pound iron spear instantly transformed into a frantically struggling, angry dragon, or a drill bit spinning at full speed.

"What... Ah!!"

Croob felt as if his hands were gripping an electrified high-voltage wire or a high-speed rotating grinding wheel.

The tiger's mouth instantly split open, blood gushing out, and all ten fingers went numb, making it impossible to hold anything!

"Bang!"

The gun barrel violently flung his hands away, leaving his front wide open!

"it's over."

Ronan's voice was like the pronouncement of death.

In that split second that Croobbi was knocked away and his chest was wide open, Ronan shrugged his wrist, and the downward thrust of his gun instantly turned into a straight thrust.

"The phoenix nods three times!"

"Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!"

Fast! Too fast!

Only three black afterimages remained in the air.

Croobbi stared wide-eyed; he hadn't even seen when Ronan had drawn his gun.

I felt a chill in my chest, followed by excruciating pain.

Three bloody holes, each the size of an egg and translucent from front to back, appeared in a triangular shape on his chest, precisely piercing his heart and lungs.

"How... is this possible... my Fishman Karate...?"

Croobi coughed up a lot of blood, swayed weakly, and then fell heavily backward, kicking up a cloud of dust.

One strike, instant kill!

the other side.

Zoro's One-Sword Style was like a raging storm, and Hachi's proud Six-Sword Style collapsed instantly. All six swords broke, and he was slashed and sent flying into the pool.

Sanji delivered a powerful kick to Chu's face, sending the kissing fishman embedded in the tower wall, impossible to pry off.

In just a few minutes, the entire Arlong Pirates crew, except for Arlong himself, was wiped out!

"Aaaaaahh ...

Seeing all his men killed, Ah Long let out a desperate and mournful roar.

"You...you actually destroyed everything I had!!"

Ah Long has completely gone mad.

As the two stormed into the tower, the sounds of fierce fighting and the deafening crash of collapsing buildings echoed from within.

Countless ink-stained nautical charts and surveying tools flew out of the broken windows, like snowflakes dancing in the sky, falling on the ruins of the amusement park.

Nami stood downstairs, gazing up at the fluttering sea chart, tears blurring her vision.

Those were eight years of blood and tears for her, a nightmare she could never shake off.

And now, someone is personally destroying all of this for her.

"Luffy..."

"Rubber rubber—Tomahawk!!!"

A deafening roar came from the top of the tower.

Luffy's leg stretched to the sky, piercing through the clouds, and then, carrying earth-shattering power, he slashed down fiercely at the entire Arlong Paradise, at that damned Arlong!

"boom--!!!"

The tallest tower, a symbol of a reign of terror, collapsed instantly like building blocks under that one step!

A huge plume of smoke shot into the sky, splitting the entire park in two.

Ah Long's massive body was stomped deep into the ground, his eyes rolled back, and he completely lost consciousness.

The world fell silent.

The sea breeze dispersed the smoke and dust.

The sunlight shone unhindered on the ruins and onto the straw-hatted boy, covered in dust but smiling brighter than the sun.

Seeing all this, Nami could no longer hold back. She covered her mouth and ran towards Luffy, crying.

She hugged the boy who had smashed her nightmare with his fists tightly, her tears soaking Luffy's red vest.

"Thank you... Luffy!"

"Thank you... everyone!"

Nami turned around and looked at Ronan, Zoro, Sanji, and Usopp standing not far away.

Ronan sheathed his iron spear, stepped forward, and gently patted Nami's head: "The nightmare is over, Nami."
