-
This octopus-man was tall and muscular, with pale pink skin.
He also had six arms, each thick and powerful.
He wore simple dark blue breeches, slightly rolled up at the cuffs, revealing strong calves.
"Zoro, does this octopus-man have a bounty?"
Usopp, who had been completely unnoticed, finally spoke from behind the others.
"Mm! Hachi, an officer of the Arlong Pirates, has a bounty of 8 million Berries and is skilled at fighting with six swords."
Zoro looked at the octopus-man in front of him and detailed Hachi's information.
"This octopus-man actually has a higher bounty than that fish-man officer from before."
Kai looked at the seemingly foolish Hachi, and combining it with the premonition that flashed through his mind, he sentenced Hachi to death.
"I didn't expect someone who looks so cute and foolish to also be a pirate who indiscriminately kills innocents."
"Hachi, where did Arlong go?" Nami took a few steps forward and asked Hachi.
"Ah, Nami, Arlong-boss went to Cocoyasi Village. I heard someone there was secretly hoarding weapons."
Hachi explained to Nami with a naive expression.
"What? Arlong went to Cocoyasi Village!" Nami's pupils contracted, and she immediately became anxious.
Arlong going to Cocoyasi Village would definitely harm the people there.
"Eh? What's wrong with you guys? Why are you all lying on the ground!" The slow-witted Hachi finally noticed the anomaly.
Seeing the fish-men lying all over the ground, Hachi finally realized something was wrong.
His six arms instantly clenched into fists, and he vigilantly looked at Luffy and the others.
"Who exactly are you? Why are you attacking us fish-men?" Hachi roared furiously.
Luffy stood up, dusted himself off, and grinned, "We're the Straw Hat Pirates. We won't let off anyone who bullies our nakama."
Hachi's eyes widened. "Straw Hat Pirates? Hmph! No matter who you are, if you dare to oppose Arlong-boss, you won't leave here alive."
With that, Hachi took a deep breath, his lips slightly parted. A piercing, drawn-out horn sound cut through the air and spread in all directions.
Suddenly, ripples appeared on the distant sea. As the ripples expanded, a giant wave of water shot up into the sky.
Immediately after, a colossal creature emerged from the courtyard pond, stirring up huge splashes that obscured the sky.
A sea cow, enormous like a small mountain, appeared before Kai, Luffy, and the others.
The immense size of this sea cow was awe-inspiring.
Its body was like a moving small mountain, covered in thick, grayish-green skin.
On its massive head were two thick, curved horns.
"It's the monster the Arlong Pirates brought back from the Grand Line, the sea cow Mohmoo!"
Nami's eyes were filled with panic when she saw this giant creature.
Mohmoo's eyes were enormous, covered in blood-red patterns, revealing a wild aura of defiance and bloodlust.
Its four limbs were thick and powerful, each movement in the water stirring up massive waves.
Its huge horns curved high, and its eyes showed an untamed, rebellious spirit.
"Haha, Mohmoo, you're here!" Hachi let out a hearty laugh.
The sea cow Mohmoo let out a deafening roar, its huge tail slamming into the water, creating towering waves.
It obediently approached Hachi, its gaze sweeping over Kai, Luffy, and their group.
Thick drool subtly dripped from its mouth, already seeing them as prey.
"Give them a good lesson!" Hachi commanded Mohmoo triumphantly, his eyes gleaming with pride.
He believed that with Mohmoo's immense power, it would be enough to make anyone tremble in fear.
Kai ignored Hachi. He lightly clenched his fist, and Conqueror's Haki wrapped around it.
Black and red lightning crackled on his fist, and even the surrounding air subtly distorted.
"Annoying," Kai said softly, his voice filled with chilling power.
He stomped his foot, and like an arrow released from a bowstring, he shot towards the sea cow Mohmoo.
"Boom!" A punch was thrown, the Haki-infused fist striking Mohmoo's head directly.
In an instant, the air solidified, and then a deafening explosion echoed.
Mohmoo's massive head shattered like fragile porcelain.
It was violently pulverized by the overbearing force, seawater splashing everywhere, stained with fresh blood.
Hachi's pupils dilated as he witnessed Mohmoo's collapse.
The triumphant smile on his face froze, replaced by endless fear and sorrow: "Mohmoo! No!"
Kai turned and gave Hachi a cold glance, then commanded, "Sanji, cut the best parts. We'll be eating this for the next few days."
Sanji pushed back his golden hair from his forehead and nodded, "Understood."
Hachi was stunned for a moment. Upon learning that Kai was going to eat Mohmoo, he roared and charged at Kai: "I'll avenge Mohmoo!"
His rage was nothing more than a moth flying into a flame in Zoro's eyes.
Zoro tightened his grip on his sword, the blade of Wado Ichimonji glinting coldly. He said in a cold voice, "With just you?"
"Swoosh—" The sword flashed, and Zoro cleanly severed Hachi's head. The absolute speed gave Hachi no time to react whatsoever.
Hachi's body fell to the ground with a thud, blood spreading across the floor.
Zoro picked up Hachi's head and said calmly, "I'll take these eight million Berries!"
Kai's gaze shifted to Arlong Park, the evil castle that once enslaved Nami.
He turned to the others and said, "Except for Luffy, you all stand back. I'm going to make this place disappear completely."
Zoro, Nami, Usopp, and Sanji immediately ran to a distance. They knew Kai was about to unleash a big move.
Luffy grabbed Kai's hand and grinned, "Ready?"
Kai nodded.
Luffy shouted, "Gum-Gum Rocket!" His arms stretched back, launching Kai into the sky like a cannonball.
"Whoosh!" Kai's figure shot into the clouds, the clouds in the sky dispersed by the powerful airflow.
He adjusted his posture in mid-air, looking down at Arlong Park below.
At this moment, his fist was once again wrapped in Conqueror's Haki. The power was like lightning in a storm, flashing with destructive black and red electricity.
As his descent reached its peak, Kai's fist pointed directly at Arlong Park, transforming into an unstoppable force.
"Rumble—" The earth shook, and the entire Arlong Park instantly crumbled under the impact of the punch.
Bricks and stones flew, buildings disintegrated, and all traces of evil were crushed into dust.
The massive shockwave stirred up the seawater, creating towering waves that swept in all directions like a tsunami.
When the dust settled, Arlong Park had become a giant crater. Seawater poured in, and Arlong Park was completely a thing of the past.
Everyone was stunned.
Nami watched her feared Arlong Park disappear before her eyes, tears welling up, but filled with gratitude and relief.
She murmured, "Thank you... thank you."
"Nami, we're nakama!!!" Luffy seriously declared to Nami:
"Of course we'd help you!!!"
"Now let's go to Cocoyasi Village and completely annihilate the Arlong Pirates!"
"Oh!!!" Kai, Zoro, and the others responded in unison.
