Chapter 400: Must Have You Be My Navigator |
Woke up...
Everyone is sober.
However, Arlong didn't show any surprise, instead he looked indifferent: "Luffy... We've known each other for so many years, you don't want to turn against me for a human being you just met, right?"
Arlong pulled Arlong's face closer to him again: "Tell me! Did you do those things?!"
Arlong slapped Luffy's hand away.
Slowly stood up.
Looking down at Luffy, he spread his arms and explained: "So what if I did it? Human beings can enslave us and sell us, why can't we do the same to them? Is there anything wrong with us..."
Before Arlong finished speaking, Luffy could no longer suppress the anger in his heart.
He punched Arlong on the cheek with one punch.
He was directly knocked to the ground by Luffy.
"What's the difference between you doing this and those hateful pirates back then?!"
"Difference? Oh, do I need to be different from them?" Arlong didn't stand up immediately. He lay on the ground and muttered something, then stood up slowly, and said excitedly, "What I want is to be like them! How humans treat us, we will treat them like that right back! This is fair, isn't it? And you see, even humans don't value human lives, and they waste the lives of their compatriots here for so many years, how can humans value the lives of fish-men?"
"Bastard!!! Even if it is, you can't do this!!"
Arlong sneered gloomyly: "No? Why not? Luffy... You left early back then, and you may not be clear about some things. We have a big brother respected by all the fish-men in Fish-man Street, named Fisher Tiger, do you know how stupid Big Brother Tiger is? In order to rescue all the enslaved fish-men and humans, even if he knew that he would be fully wanted by the world government afterwards, he did not hesitate to climb up to the holy land of Mary Geoise with his bare hands and bear all of that alone! But that is not enough! He was so stupid that he picked up a human girl and said that he wanted to send her back to her hometown in person. In the end, the girl was indeed delivered safely... But do you know what the final result of Big Brother Tiger is? Heh, he was killed by the betrayal of the humans in that girl's hometown!!! They ran off to inform the Marine for a bounty! Let Brother Tiger die under the ambush of the marine!! Look?! Isn't that ridiculous? How ridiculous is that?! Human beings don't know how to be grateful, and they don't deserve our sympathy! You look here? Look around here? I just need to pay some money every month, and I can do whatever I want in this sea! Human beings can even sell their own compatriots for money! They themselves don't feel pity for their compatriots, so why should we be polite to them?! Then let the humans in this sea feel the pain we fish-men have suffered!!"
Arlong said that until Luffy couldn't refute.
I don't know how to refute.
But he just couldn't accept Arlong's approach: "Asshole!! They are all innocent!"
Luffy couldn't suppress the anger in his heart, and punched Arlong again.
Arlong didn't intend to take this blow from Luffy in vain this time, he took the punch very easily: "Luffy...you can't do it again...you won't forget how you were beaten by me back then... Did you even beat me? Or do you really think that if you destroy a small human country casually and approach me with a bounty, you are qualified to fight me?"
Luffy didn't speak.
His head bowed.
No one can see his expression of extreme anger now. When he used to beat Arlong, he only wanted to wake him up, so he didn't use his real strength.
But now it is different.
Arlong's answer made him feel that Arlong has no intention of repentance at all!
This made his anger reach the point where he couldn't bear it.
Luffy slowly withdrew the fist held by Arlong, and then stretched it back vigorously. The whole arm was stretched by him to exceed the length of the swimming pool like a rubber band. He said in a light and then heavy tone. He yelled: "Rubber - 32-Brick Fist!!"
Immediately after.
The outstretched arm shrank back at an extremely fast speed!
However, in the eyes of Arlong, all this is ridiculous.
32 Brick Fist?
After so many years, your power is still only 32 Brick Fist?
Sure enough, humans can't compare with fish-men at all.
After so many years, Luffy has not improved in strength at all.
The destruction of a small human country does not mean anything.
Seeing that Luffy's contracted fist was about to bounce back and hit him, Arlong didn't even have the intention of dodging. He wants to take this blow hard and prove to Luffy who is the boss!
Not only did Arlong think so, even the surrounding fish-men didn't react much when they heard that the fish-man karate used by Luffy was only at 32 Brick Fist.
Everyone knows that only 32 Brick Fist of power can't hurt their big brother Arlong.
But all these self-righteous thoughts, when Luffy's 32 Brick Fist really fell on Arlong, they were all dumbfounded!
Arlong who personally suffered this blow was completely blank.
Just listen to 'Boom' There was a loud bang.
Immediately, they saw Arlong, who was two cups stronger than Luffy, was blown away by this blow! They couldn't even see his figure, but they heard a series of bang bang bang!
He smashed through one wall after another.
In the end, even the outer city wall of the Arlong Park was smashed through, but it didn't stop.
It wasn't until the shadow of Arlong flying upside down broke several giant trees in the jungle that the upside down trend stopped completely.
Everyone was stunned by the scene in front of them.
Arlong fell on the ground, with only the last trace of strength left, barely raised his head, looked in the direction of Luffy, and said very speechlessly: "I... fuck you, this is 32 Brick Fist...?"
The words are not finished.
He rolled his eyes and passed out completely.
As for Luffy, he is not in the mood to care about other people's eyes now, and his anger towards Arlong still hasn't subsided.
After this blow, he didn't intend to stop.
Continue walking in the direction where Arlong landed.
Come in front of Arlong and see that Arlong is unconscious, but he has no intention of stopping.
He picked up Arlong and continued to beat Arlong furiously: "You bastard! Do you think you're fine if you're unconscious?! Do you think that after receiving this punch, you can pretend that nothing happened?! Don't you like beating people very much?! Don't you really like killing people?! Wake up! You like to fight so much, wake up and fight with me!! You bastard!!"
Arlong was beaten up by Luffy until his face was swollen and his nose was crooked. Only then did he slowly regain some consciousness from the bewilderment.
But he didn't mean to beg for mercy, instead he sneered and said, "Yes, keep beating me, kill me. It's much better to die by your hands than by those hateful humans..."
If Arlong didn't say these words, Luffy, who was dazzled by anger, really wanted to kill Arlong.
But after hearing Arlong say these words, his raised fist suddenly stopped in mid-air.
Looking at Arlong with a complicated expression.
Seeing Luffy's appearance, Arlong taunted: "Kill, why won't you kill me? You are so soft-hearted, do you think your enemy will appreciate you? No, Luffy, I tell you, they won't. Especially human beings! When one day the enemy you face is human beings, they will not be grateful because you let them go, but will wait for the opportunity to retaliate against you! Hahahahahaha!"
Luffy's mood is very complicated now.
Li Yaoxiang once told him that only by solving the root of all dangers can he help him revive the person he cares about. But now the one who he wants to kill him is the partner who was born and died together in the past, but he still can't do it.
In the end, he just punched Arlong hard again, knocking Arlong unconscious again.
Then he turned and left the scene.
The fish-men who came to check the situation didn't dare to talk to Luffy when they saw Luffy's appearance. They all looked at Luffy quietly and let Luffy leave here.
Then one or two went up very anxiously to check the situation of Arlong.
"Brother Arlong!"
"Brother Arlong!"
...
After a while.
Walking and walking, Luffy returned to their boat.
The atmosphere on the ship was very solemn.
Although everyone was on the deck, no one spoke.
Everyone seems to be thinking about something.
When seeing Luffy come back, Zoro opened one eye: "Back?"
Luffy paused in his footsteps, responded with a 'hmm', and then continued walking, as if he wanted to go back to the cabin to rest. However, before he could take a few more steps, Zoro continued: "The group of pirates that Nami mentioned earlier, you should know who they are by now, right?"
Luffy stopped again.
There was a moment of silence: "Well..."
"Did you kill him?"
"No..."
"Then what are your plans next?"
The rest of the people on the boat didn't seem to be paying attention to Luffy, but at this moment everyone's minds were actually focused on Luffy, waiting for Luffy to give a definite answer.
Seeing that Luffy didn't respond for a long time, Usopp's reaction was the most excited. He rushed forward to grab Luffy and said viciously: "What did you promise me?! You promised that you would help revive Kaya's parents! What is it now?! If you don't kill Arlong, are you planning to give up?!"
Sanji and Zoro are calm.
But their faces are obviously not very good-looking.
After all, it's okay if you don't give them hope in the first place. But when you give hope, and everyone is moving towards this goal, but you withdraw all hope in the middle, saying that you don't care, it must be false.
"I... I have no intention of giving up! Not killing Arlong will not affect the agreement between me and my brother! He wants me to solve the root of all dangers, and he wants me to solve the people who are against me or who may take revenge on me! I have known Arlong for a long time, and the relationship is very good, they will not target me or take revenge on me! So Arlong is not among the targets I must kill!"
"Are you sure?! Are you sure?! Are you in charge of this matter?! Have you asked your brother clearly?!"
"I...my brother hasn't contacted me for a while..."
"Then how do you make sure your guess is correct!"
Luffy didn't answer.
He really didn't know if Li Yaoxiang wouldn't help him resurrect people if he didn't kill Arlong.
"Usopp! What are you doing?! Is this how you treat the captain?!" Zoro slammed at Usopp.
Usopp also realized that he was going too far.
But he can't get angry, and he still can't afford to apologize.
Just snorted coldly, loosened Luffy's collar, then turned around and no longer looked at Luffy.
At this time, Zoro continued: "Luffy, your brother. Even if he only resurrect, it is only to help you. We know that we are not qualified to ask you to do anything. But if things develop to the end, if your brother really won't help you resurrect because you didn't kill Arlong... then, please take our feelings into consideration."
After saying that, Zoro closed his eyes again.
On the deck, no one spoke anymore.
Luffy was silent for a moment, then continued to walk back to the cabin to rest.
In a blink of an eye, a day passed.
That night, no one communicated much.
Until the next morning, Sanji prepared a sumptuous breakfast. While everyone sat and enjoyed it, Luffy was in a good mood. After feasting on the plate after plate of food, he patted his belly in satisfaction, stood up, with a firm expression and a hearty tone, he said: "I have decided! Next, we will continue to move forward for the same goal!"
Immediately, he glanced at several people and said, "Don't worry, I've already thought it through. He is the elder brother who watched me and grew up with me! Even if the result is what you are worried about, I will definitely convince him help me resurrect! I believe that he will not reject me because of a trivial matter!"
Without waiting for everyone to respond, Luffy continued: "You guys continue to eat! I will go out to deal with things first, and when I come back, we will set sail and go to the next target!"
After saying that, Luffy turned around and left the cabin.
And Sanji, Zoro, and Usopp couldn't help but smile because of what Luffy said...
...
After a while.
Luffy came to Nami's house.
Seeing Luffy coming, the disgust flashed in Nami's eyes, which was a little stronger than yesterday. It's not that he didn't imagine that after Luffy left yesterday, he would really help her kill Arlong.
For this reason, she secretly ran to check the situation.
Obviously, the final result disappointed her.
This made her hate Luffy even more.
"Why are you still here?"
Luffy smiled heartily: "I want you to be my navigator!"
Nami sneered: "I know you have a very good relationship with Arlong. If you speak out, maybe Arlong will really give me to you. But you should give up, even if Arlong is willing, I will not help you."
Luffy: "No! I must have you as my navigator!"
Nami looked angry: "What do you mean? Are you planning to threaten me?"
