"If anyone escapes, you're in charge. If you succeed, I'll teach you the Six Styles," Luffy said.
Luffy then turned to Nami. "Nami, what do we do with these Fish-Men?"
Nami took a deep breath. "Please... drive all the Fish-Men there away! I beg you all!"
Luffy gave her a look of disgust. "Drive them away? Nami, you're too soft-hearted," he said, his expression turning cold. "All Straw Hat crew, hear my command! Not a single Arlong Pirate will be left alive. Get rid of them all! Arlong will be chopped up and given to Richie for lunch! Move out!"
All the crew shivered. They realized that behind his smile, the Captain harbored a terrifying killing intent.
Zoro and Buggy led their crews to Arlong Park. Luffy went to Nami's house first.
Nami led the way, and they walked through a tangerine grove. Nami picked a green tangerine, peeled it, and ate it. Her tears flowed as she remembered her mother, Belle-mère. She clenched her fist, not wanting Luffy to see her vulnerable side.
Arlong... I won't forgive you; I'll make you die a thousand times!
She grabbed Luffy's hand, "Luffy, help me."
Just then, a blue-haired girl, Nojiko, appeared. "Nami, you're back?"
Nami happily introduced Luffy as her new Captain. "He's here to destroy the Arlong Pirates!"
Nojiko was shocked and tried to stop them. "Nami, don't be reckless! The two of you can't possibly defeat them!"
Luffy responded somberly, "Don't underestimate people."
Nami cut in, "Don't worry, Nojiko. Luffy is amazing. He's a great pirate with a 40 million Berry bounty!"
Nojiko's eyes widened in shock.
At that moment, Colonel Mouse and the Marines appeared. Mouse said, "Little girl, I heard you stole a lot of treasure."
Luffy activated Gear Second, his skin turning red and letting out steam. "Since I'm already a wanted man, there's no need to look for proof anymore," he said.
Da da da da— Gomu Gomu no Jet Gatling!!
Countless shadows of fists covered the sky and the earth. Punch after punch penetrated the chests of the Marines. They fell lifelessly.
"This... how is this possible?" Nojiko was shocked, watching Luffy crush Colonel Mouse's head with a kick.
"I told you, Luffy can beat them up as easily as that!" Nami, not feeling disgusted at all, hugged Luffy's arm, her eyes sparkling.
After that, Nami released her hand from Luffy. Her body began to blur, transforming into a dark cloud. "This is a Devil Fruit Luffy gave to me. Now, even I can make the Arlong Pirates pay the price!" Nami confidently rose slowly, her body expanding.
"Nojiko, starting today, our nightmare will end!" She winked at Luffy. "Don't eat your fill and forget about me; you still have to help me kill Arlong later."
"Go ahead," Luffy replied.
Before Nojiko could stop her, Nami flew towards Arlong Park.
Luffy's warm arm wrapped around Nojiko's waist. "Your name's Nojiko, right? I'm going to abduct you onto my ship and make you my strategist for now!"
Nojiko shrieked in surprise.
At Arlong Park, the Fish-Men were celebrating. The gates suddenly shattered. Zoro and Buggy appeared.
"Who are you calling trash?" Zoro asked with a smirk.
"I love roasted fish the most!" Buggy yelled, aiming his cannon.
The two of them started a competition. Arlong, who had just disregarded a report about a pirate with a 40 million Berry bounty, was shocked to see a Buggy Ball flying toward him.
Boom!!
A dazzling fire lit up the entire park. Screams rang out. At the same time, the clear sky was covered by a dark cloud. Dark red lightning gathered within it.
"Thunder, condense!!!"
A cry filled Arlong Park. A dark cloud covered the entire sky. At the front of the cloud, Nami's pair of eyes were visible, filled with determination. She used all her strength.
"This power isn't enough to hurt Arlong!" she thought. She continued to absorb the surrounding clouds.
The Fish-Men were shocked. "W-what is that thing?"
"Oh my god, this isn't a natural disaster, is it?"
Horrifying lightning bolts gathered one by one in the sky. Zoro and Buggy, realizing the danger, fled the park.
"What should we do, Boss Arlong?" Hachi asked.
"What's the panic? Can such a small lightning bolt hurt us?" Arlong yelled. However, his heart was pounding. "Why is this thundercloud so close?"
"That's the limit!" Nami, in her cloud form, smiled. "Even if it can't kill Arlong, it can make the other Fish-Men perish!"
She slammed the viciously-gathered lightning down: "Thunderbolt Hell!"
Boom boom boom!
Crack... crack...
Countless bolts of lightning struck down.
The Arlong Pirates' eyes went wide in terror.
"What in the world is this?!"
