LIGHTNOVELWORLD Chapter 53: Scaling and Boning
Gawain smiled faintly: "You were the one who lied first."
"So now, Nami, knowing our strength, do you still want us to run away?"
"No!
Nami turned to look at Arlong.
The anger and resentment that had been suppressed in her heart for many years suddenly burst out at this moment, and her voice was almost hoarse.
She didn't know how strong Gawain was, but she knew that the number of 85 million was four times that of Arlong!
"Captain, help me kill him! Kill him! Kill him!"
Nami repeated these three words so mechanically that she didn't even know when the tears started to flow in her eyes.
Gawain reached out and patted Nami's head, then turned to look at Arlong, feeling a fire burning in his heart.
Now, simply killing Arlong could no longer release the rage that was raging in his heart, so he decided to do something else.
Gawain slowly walked towards Arlong and said calmly: "Have you ever killed a fish?"
Arlong was stunned, and then his face turned gloomy.
Even though he had never heard of such a statement, it did not prevent him from instantly understanding the naked contempt in Gawain's words.
"You... "
"I have done it before."
Gawain did not wait for Arlong to reply and continued: "Scaling and Boning, gutting and ripping open the belly!"
As the sound landed.
Gawain disappeared into the air in an instant. Whether in physique, Observation-Haki, or the skill level of the Pussyfoot Maneuver, he was superior to Kuro.
The combined explosive speed of the three is many times faster than that of Kuro!
Even with Arlong's physique, which is several times stronger than that of humans, he could only see Gawain's afterimage rushing towards him from a distance.
The sharp edge of Guanze Masamune reflects the sunlight, making it even more dazzling!
This guy is not just talking!
He really intends to do this!
Arlong was so frightened after realizing this that he broke out in a cold sweat and no longer had the composure he had just now that he was in control of everything.
Whether he was willing to admit it or not, the Fishmen had never been a dominant race in the Grand Line or in the New World.
Even Jinbe, who is currently recognized as the strongest person on Fish-Men island, is only at the level of one of the seven warlords of the sea.
Is it strong?
Of course, it is strong, but compared to the monsters in the New World or even the four emperors, it is still insignificant and can hardly carry the banner of Fish-Men, to the extent that most of the time, the Fish-Men had to rely on Whitebeard's protection to survive.
But the more this happened, the more unwilling Arlong felt.
The Fish-Men, who are born with talents beyond those of humans, can only struggle to survive on the Grand Line.
Why?!
Despite his mixed emotions, Arlong's body instinctively dodged Gawain's attack and barely turned sideways, but he could only avoid the vital points and was still cut by Gawain's sword.
The muscle density and bone strength of the Fishmen far surpass those of humans, but they are meaningless against the sharp edge of the Guanze Masamune.
Gawain didn't even feel any resistance from the blade as he cut through Arlong's skin like butter.
Whoosh!
Blood splattered like a thin mist.
The intense pain made Arlong's brain more aware of a cruel fact: The opponent in front of him was far more powerful than him!
Just a little bit more, and he would really be ripped open!
"How could there be a monster like you in the East Blue? Who sent you?!"
"Marines? Whitebeard? Kaido?!"
Arlong's mind was in a state of confusion, with countless speculations surging in his mind, but his body's movements did not slow down at all.
With the impact of Gawain's sword, he fell sideways into the water and dived to the bottom of the water dozens of meters in an instant.
Here, unless the gun is specially prepared for underwater combat, no matter how good the flintlock is, it can only cause effective damage within a few meters of the muzzle.
Similarly, it can also greatly weaken the swordsman's slash, making it a strategic location to fight swordsmen.
The shore has never been a battlefield for Fishmen!
On land, the Fish-Men have strength several times or even a dozen times greater than that of humans. Once in the water, the gap will only be widened!
This is his only chance to turn defeat into victory!
The seawater irritated Arlong's wound even more painfully, but his brain calmed down at this moment.
His webbed feet could provide his body with unimaginable power underwater.
The instantaneous burst of speed combined with the Fish-Men's super strong body is even enough to crash through a warship!
"There's only one chance. Seize the moment when that guy pauses and kills him with one strike!"
"No matter how strong his swordsmanship and swift his speed are, he is still a human being. There is an insurmountable gap between humans and the Fishmen!"
Thinking of this, Arlong's heart gradually calmed down.
The nearly perfect tactics made him extremely confident, and the smile on his lips became more ferocious.
He lay dormant underwater, quietly waiting for his opportunity.
After a few seconds, Gawain's figure gradually appeared. He stood by the pool, looking calmly at the water.
This indifferent expression made Arlong feel a nameless fire rising in his heart, but he knew that the… Opportunity have come!
He swung his legs faster; the Fish-Men's innate super-strong physique made his body accelerate to a terrifying degree in an instant, and he shot out of the water like a rocket, and the tip of his nose, which was shaped like a spear, pierced straight into Gawain's heart…
"Shark Darts!"
Puff!
Arlong burst out of the water and shot towards Gawain like a missile.
He even saw Gawain's death before his eyes, but suddenly, a voice full of contempt came to his ears.
"Is it fun?"
Arlong felt a chill on his spine instantly, and a palm in front of him grew bigger and bigger…
Bang!
Gawain held down Arlong with one hand as he rushed out of the water. The powerful impact caused him to crush the floor beneath his feet, but his body did not move at all.
His physique had been upgraded by several levels, and with the bonus of the equilibrium feature, even in terms of pure physical strength, Gawain had already reached the monster level.
Ignoring Arlong's shocked look, Gawain raised a sinister smile: "This is a really big fish!"
Then Gawain stabbed Arlong's spine with his sword and pinned him to the ground.
Arlong's sight was directed to the countless villagers lying on the ground outside Arlong's Park.
Those who still had a breath left in them looked at the scene in front of them and couldn't help but smile happily on their faces.
The evil Fish-Men that has been weighing on everyone's heart for many years is now like a fish on a chopping board. How ridiculous!
"Hahahahaha."
The laughter that continued to come made Arlong feel more and more humiliated.
He struggled desperately, but his unconscious lower body made everything he did in vain.
Gawain leaned over and whispered softly in Arlong's ear: "Do you know why Fisher Tiger chose to die even though humans gave him blood transfusions?"
Arlong was stunned and gritted his teeth: "Do you even know about Tiger's affairs?"
Gawain did not answer Arlong's question, and a hint of teasing flashed in his eyes: "It's because he knows that if he survives, he will become what you are now, hideous and ugly, no different from those humans who went to Fish-Men island to poach."
"Hey, Arlong, do you want to try to change the rules of this world with me? Change this world where Fish-Men are persecuted?"
"I do!"
At the critical moment of life and death, Arlong agreed without any hesitation.
But Gawain's next words made him feel like he was falling into an ice cellar: "Well, of course I lied to you."
"I've told you all this not to make you repent and change your ways but to make you go to hell with pain and regret!"
"After all."
"You love this game, don't you?!"
