Moments later, Gus hung up the phone, “Brother Lu, they said they’ll send someone.”
“Good, then we’ll maintain our speed and catch up!” Rokujin nodded slightly. He believed his grandfather Garp would not leave them in the lurch.
“Alright!” Gus immediately ordered the helmspersons to maintain speed and follow the Arlong Pirates.
Meanwhile, on the Arlong Pirates’ ship. A blue-skinned fish-man put down his telescope and spoke to a shark-mouthed fish-man beside him, “Captain, there’s a navy ship. Should we go kill them?”
“Oh?” The shark-mouthed man picked up the telescope and looked over, disinterestedly saying, “Forget it; it’s just a small ship, not worth much.”
“Alright, captain!” Their primary objective was for Cocoyasi Village to refrain from engaging with the Navy. Of course, Arlong would only attack if he saw the navy ship turning away; otherwise, he definitely would have.
Back at Navy Headquarters, Sengoku hung up the phone, muttering, “Garp, your grandson knows how to stir up trouble. Killing Kuro wasn’t enough; now he’s off to take on the Arlong Pirates!”
“Rokujin is only doing what a navy should do. Did you send support?” Garp’s expression became serious for the first time. He knew the strength of the Arlong Pirates and was naturally worried.
“Don’t worry, since he’s your grandson, I’ll make sure it’s handled properly,” Sengoku reassured him.
“Alright, then!” Garp said, picking his nose and walking out confidently. He trusted Sengoku to handle things. Watching his retreating figure, Sengoku could only shake his head helplessly.
On the other side, Rokujin’s ship continued to trail the Arlong Pirates. Their destination was indeed Cocoyasi Village. After docking at Cocoyasi Village, they immediately led many pirates to invade it.
“Change direction; we’ll land from the other side!” Gus loudly ordered.
“Yes!” Before anyone could respond, Rokujin interrupted, “No need, we’ll land from the front.”
“But that way, we’ll encounter the Arlong Pirates’ people!” Gus worried. There were only about 30 people in total, and a frontal assault would likely be suicidal.
Frowning, Rokujin looked displeased, “Listen to me, I have a plan.”
“Uh… okay, okay!” Gus reluctantly agreed. If it weren’t for the fact that the other’s grandfather was Garp, he definitely wouldn’t have consented.
Minutes later, the navy ship was getting closer to the Arlong Pirates’ ship, now clearly visible to those on board. There were 11 pirates, mostly fish-man underlings with around F-level strength. The strongest among them was a blue-skinned, cartilaginous fish-man, towering over ordinary humans by two heads and with two braids on his head.
Character: Kuroobi
Race: Fish-Man
Level: C
Skills: Fish-Man Karate (C), Swordsmanship (E)
Bounty: 9 million Berries
“The navy is here! The navy has arrived!” The pirates on the ship quickly noticed the navy ship and reported to Kuroobi.
“Hmm?” Kuroobi focused his gaze, seeing just a few dozen navy personnel without even a warrant officer. He scoffed, “What’s the panic? It’s just a few navy guys.”
“Kill them!” “Yes!” At his command, all the fishermen quickly jumped into the water and swam towards the navy ship at high speed. In the water, fishermen moved like sharks, extremely fast!
The navy personnel on board were already panicking, barely able to hold their weapons steady.
“Fish-men… Pirates… are coming!”
“Be careful! The pirates are here!”
Watching the sea’s surface, Rokujin instructed, “I’ll handle that blue fish-man; the rest are up to you.”
“Alright!” Gus was relieved to hear this. He could tell that the blue fish-man was the fastest and likely the strongest.
Soon, the fish-man pirates reached the navy ship, shouting and scrambling aboard, surrounding the navy personnel.
“They’ve come right to our doorstep seeking death, brothers. Kill them and feed their bodies to the sharks!” Kuroobi, showing his sharp teeth, commanded.
“Yes!” At his command, pirates and navy personnel immediately tangled in combat.
“Six Powers: Shave!” Rokujin’s eyes narrowed, and he stomped on the deck! Instantly, his figure vanished from the spot! He reappeared behind Kuroobi, his right hand drawing the sword Reikaze, and swung it.
The sword light flashed! It swept across Kuroobi’s back!
“Damn!” Kuroobi’s face changed dramatically, unable
Sliding several meters, Kuroobi finally stabilised himself. Rokujin looked down at the large bruise on his arm and breathed in cold air, “That really hurts! His Fish-Man Karate is strong!” In that instant, he hadn’t released his Armament Haki. He had to take the hit directly! But the more robust the opponent, the more he relished it. It would significantly increase his experience with Armament Haki!
At this moment, Kuroobi was sizing up the navy officer before him, “Such strong swordsmanship, and he even knows the Six Powers of the Navy, Shave!” How could someone so young, not even a third-class soldier, be so assertive?
“You’re quite strong too. I’ll play along!” Rokujin chuckled lightly and used Shave again, appearing instantly to Kuroobi’s left. Another slash!
This time, however, Kuroobi reacted quickly, raising his leg and launching a swift kick. “Fish-Man Karate: High Kick!”
“Clang!” The blade met Kuroobi’s foot, emitting a crisp sound! The two exchanged blows, neither yielding an inch!
But Rokujin wielded a swift sword, and his speed was breakneck, always managing to inflict cuts on his opponent. Each slash caused Kuroobi to bleed profusely!
Of course, Kuroobi also landed hits on Rokujin, but each was blocked as if striking an iron block.
Before long, Kuroobi was covered in sword wounds, his clothes soaked red with blood, and he gasped as he stared at his opponent.
“Heavy breathing…”
In contrast, Rokujin appeared as calm as a mild breeze, seemingly unharmed by his injuries.
“Your Ten Tile Fist and Hundred Tile Fist do not affect me. If you don’t have any other moves, prepare to die!” Rokujin’s eyes were cold as he spoke indifferently.
