A person is writing a diary in an American comic book, and Iron Man collapses at the beginning.

Rumble!

With the propellers spinning rapidly, Tony piloted the armed helicopter and landed at the entrance of Dragon Park.

This place is, after all, the dragon's stronghold, but there isn't even a single patrolling or guarding force outside.

Without him.

The dozen or so villages on the island were barely surviving under the dragon's rule, and no one dared to run wild in the dragon's paradise.

So there really isn't any need for it.

Tony, Naruto, and Nami swaggered off the armed helicopter.

Nami looked up and surveyed the Dragon Paradise before her, her heart pounding faster as she instinctively felt a surge of nervousness.

In any case, this is a nightmare that has haunted Nami's heart for many years, and it is not so easy to face it calmly.

Nami had to make a huge decision before she mustered the courage to bring her helpers.

"Don't worry about Nami."

Tony seemed to see right through Nami's thoughts and said confidently, "You can't imagine what I've been through. This is nothing to me."

"And there's me, Nami!"

Naruto also started swinging his fist, saying, "I'll help you defeat those bad guys too."

Seeing Tony and Naruto's confident expressions, Nami felt a little better.

"Let's go see what fishmen are really like."

Tony then called out to Nami and Naruto, and began to stride forward, heading towards the entrance of the Dragon Paradise.

Naruto, needless to say, followed closely behind.

Nami took a deep breath and followed suit.

"Boss, the protection money we collected this time has been counted and it's all here."

Inside the Dragon Paradise compound, the dragon leaned back in a deck chair, looking all arrogant.

One of the fishmen brought a ledger and presented it to the dragon.

The dragon casually picked it up and flipped through it, then couldn't help but shake his head: "It's less again. The protection money is getting less and less each time."

"There's nothing we can do, Boss Evil Dragon. People are dying or fleeing from village to village, and the population is dwindling."

The fishmen under his command report.

Under the oppressive rule of the evil dragon, life was truly hellish; people couldn't even get enough to eat.

People died one after another for various reasons: some starved to death, some secretly escaped, some were killed for resisting.

Conversely, the birth rate continues to decline, because no one wants their child to live in such a place; that would be a terrible thing.

Therefore, the decrease in population in each village is inevitable.

The dragon's rule of collecting protection money per person naturally affected this situation.

"This can't go on."

The dragon shook his head in dissatisfaction, "It's not even as much as Nami brought back last time."

"Boss, should we raise the protection fee?"

The cadre chimed in with a suggestion.

"No need for now, this is their limit." The dragon waved his hand.

It wasn't that the dragon had developed compassion, but rather that he knew very well that if the protection fee were increased again, it would definitely backfire.

There will inevitably be another group of people who jump out, and then he will have to kill another group of people.

The protection money collected will actually decrease.

Not worth the candle.

In other words, he has squeezed almost all the value out of these villages, and no matter how hard he tries, he can't extract any more value.

Instead of relying on those, we should rely on Nami's side.

Speaking of Nami, she's quite the money-making genius.

Even someone as loathsome as Evil Dragon greatly admires Nami's professional skills.

"Nami is indeed very capable, Arlong Boss!"

One of the cadres, Croobi, nodded in agreement.

"I just wonder when Nami will be back this time."

The dragon began to laugh with anticipation, "I really look forward to that day."

Clang!

As the group was chatting and laughing, a loud bang suddenly rang out.

But then the door to Dragon Paradise was suddenly pushed open.

Whether it was the evil dragon, the several officers, or the other fishmen in the park, their eyes were all subconsciously drawn to this commotion.

They all looked towards the doorway.

Then they saw Nami walking in with two other unfamiliar humans.

"Nami?"

Hachi was taken aback; he truly hadn't considered this. "Nami returned so quickly this time? And who are those two people with her?"

"Nami, how dare you bring such lowly humans here?"

The dragon's face darkened slightly, and he muttered unhappily, "How infuriating!"

"So many monsters!"

However, before Arlong could express his dissatisfaction to Nami, an exaggerated voice broke the silence of the scene.

Naruto stared wide-eyed in astonishment at the fish-men present, exclaiming repeatedly, "Nami, are these fish-men? They're clearly sea monsters! They're all so ugly!"

Thank goodness, Naruto is truly straightforward and speaks his mind; he wasn't intentionally insulting or provoking these fish-men.

He genuinely felt that these fishmen were too ugly.

It was a completely different existence from the mermaids he imagined!

It has to be said that the difference is quite significant.

"You're right, Naruto."

In the quiet room, Tony nodded in deep agreement. "These bizarre creatures, what kind of monsters are they? The Creator must have been dozing off when creating them!"

Tony has always been known for his sharp tongue.

Swish!

The scene fell silent instantly.

A silent, murderous aura began to spread, as if it had become tangible.

The fishmen around them were all bulging with veins, staring at Tony and Naruto with murderous intent.

These two lowly humans have such audacity!

How dare they openly insult their noble fish-man race in a place like Dragon Paradise!

That's practically suicide!

"Damn it, what are these two lowly creatures saying?"

"How dare you insult a noble merman? Are you tired of living?!"

"This is outrageous! I will tear you to pieces!"

After a brief moment of silence, roars erupted from the scene.

It was only after the evil dragon stood up and shouted a rebuke that the scene quieted down.

"Nami!"

The dragon, however, turned its predatory gaze toward Nami, saying, "You'd better explain yourself clearly, what exactly is going on?"

"You must be the evil dragon?"

Upon seeing the scene, Tony quickly identified the dragon as the culprit. "Good, if you weren't here, you would have been a real problem."

"Did you come here specifically to see me?"

The dragon then noticed Tony and further confirmed its identity to him, saying, "This seems like trouble!"

"It seems the fish-man's brain hasn't affected your intelligence."

Tony then unbuttoned his shirt, revealing an inverted triangle device "embedded" in his chest.

That was none other than Tony's nanotech armor generator.

That's right.

At this stage, Tony had successfully developed the nanotech armor.

This is precisely why Tony has such great confidence.

Nanosuits are capable of going toe-to-toe with Thanos, a cosmic overlord, and are the kind of thing that allowed Tony to become a god despite being a mortal. Dealing with a fishman would be a piece of cake for them.

"I've come here with only one purpose: to eliminate you."

"Because of what you did to my 'little girl' Nami back then."

"That wasn't without retribution, it was just a little late. And now, I am your retribution, I've come!"

Tony spoke these words to the dragon with a solemn expression.

"Destroy me? Hahaha!"

The dragon, however, seemed to have heard some kind of legendary joke and couldn't help but laugh out loud.

The other fish-men did the same, and the scene was immediately filled with laughter.

Compared to fish-men, humans are nothing more than inferior products, a completely low-class race.

Fishmen are easily ten times stronger than humans, not to mention in other aspects; they are the more perfect beings.

Now, some inferior humans are saying they want to destroy him?

That's absolutely hilarious!

"Dragon Boss, let me send this ungrateful lowly race on its way."

The cadre couldn't stand it anymore. After laughing, he volunteered to take down Tony.

"I was going to try to find out what was going on, out of respect for Nami."

The dragon waved its hand, not intending to waste any more effort. "But since he willingly sought death, who can be blamed?"

Having received the dragon's approval, Chu stopped talking and turned his murderous gaze toward Tony.

Tony, however, had already reached out and patted the nanogenerator on his chest.

The hidden nanoparticles were quickly released, forming large patches of red armor that covered Tony's body.

"puff!"

At that moment, Chirp opened its mouth and fired a "bullet" at Tony.

Tony's Iron Man armor was installed first.

when!

A dull thud was heard.

The water bullets shot directly at the nanotech armor and were completely blocked, causing Tony absolutely no damage.

"What beautiful armor!"

Naruto was stunned for a moment, then glanced at Iron Man beside him, his face full of amazement. "That really gave me a fright, Brother Stark! That guy attacked without warning, but I didn't know you had this kind of armor!"

"But wait, how did this armor suddenly appear?"

"Could it be that you, Brother Stark, summoned it through spirit communication?"

"That still doesn't make sense; Brother Stark doesn't know any necromancy either!"

Naruto was completely bewildered by the cool armor.

The same goes for Nami.

They were also stunned by what they saw.

All she saw was Tony patting his chest, and then this blindingly bright suit of armor appeared out of thin air!

It seems the Starks really do have some tricks up their sleeves, and they're not just bragging.

"armor?"

Chiu was also taken aback for a moment, but quickly dismissed it, "How naive. What use do you think this thing could be?"

Did they really think their armor could stop their water bullets?

Even if you can block it once, can you stop a barrage of water bullets?

Even if you can block all the water bullets, can you block the water bubbles?

The Earth Lamp race is an inferior race; no matter how fancy their methods are, they're useless.

"Pfft pfft pfft!"

After a cold laugh, Chirp continued to spit water bullets at Tony one after another.

"Spitting can cause this level of impact? It's almost as effective as a bullet."

Tony didn't take Chu to heart either; instead, he was curious about this novel fighting style.

This is truly an amazing world.

Fishmen are also a magical race.

They can even do something this incredible.

But after his initial curiosity, Tony got serious.

boom!

A gun barrel emerged from his nanotech armor, and he fired a shot at Chiu.

"not good!"

Chiu immediately felt a sense of crisis, but before he could react, the bullet had already pierced his chest.

With a muffled groan, the person collapsed to the ground.

"Chirp!"

"What happened?"

"What happened?!"

"Chu, are you alright!"

The fishmen at the scene were all taken aback, and Hachi and Croobi rushed over to check on Chiu's condition immediately.

Their faces turned extremely pale; Qiu had been shot in a vital spot and was already seriously injured.

"Outrageous! Despicable humans!"

Crooby was instantly enraged and charged at Tony with a roar.

"Brother Stark, leave this sea monster to me!"

Before Tony could even make a move, Naruto, unable to contain himself, rushed forward first.

With a quick teleportation technique, he darted in front of Croobi and launched an attack.

"So fast!"

Croobi was taken aback.

He hadn't taken Naruto seriously at all before, but now he realized that he had completely underestimated him.

The opponent's speed was so fast that Croobi couldn't react at all.

At this moment, Croobi dared not be careless and began to concentrate on dealing with Naruto.

But Naruto completely stopped him.

The dragon's face turned ugly.

He looked as if he had been slapped hard across the face several times; his face was a frighteningly pale blue.

These two lowly humans, one instantly killed Chuu, and the other, a child of only a few years old, blocked Croobi!

This was utterly unacceptable to the dragon; it was a disgrace.

"Naruto, that brat, is pretty capable."

Tony nodded in satisfaction when he saw that Naruto was holding his own.

Nami also breathed a sigh of relief.

"But you have to be careful, the dragon is much stronger than these few officers," Nami still warned Tony in a low voice.

"For me, there's no difference."

After saying that, Tony had a sudden thought, and a miniature missile was launched directly at the dragon.

Can a dragon, being a human, withstand swords and blades?

Tony really wanted to know if the other side could actually stop the missile.

Whoosh!

The sound of something cutting through the air rang out.

But the dragon immediately leaped away, quickly jumping more than ten meters away, dodging Tony's missile.

Indeed.

The dragon had indeed never seen such an advanced missile as Tony's, but he wasn't stupid. Even if he used his thigh to guess, he knew that this thing must be very "powerful".

Moreover, with the tragic example of Chroobi still fresh in everyone's minds, and knowing the weapon this person fired was no ordinary weapon, the dragon naturally dared not be careless. (End of Chapter)
