Chapter 18 - 18 - Nami Getting Drunk!
As the one who has the highest bounty in the East Blue Sea, Arlong naturally has his own pride.
As a Sawtooth Sharkman, he is a weapon himself!
A serrated nose, steel bones, arms that can lift houses, teeth that regenerate, and a powerful jaw that can bite a cannonball!
There is also the 'Water Strike' attack, which is common among strong fish-men, that can hit ordinary water droplets as bullets!
A reward of 20 million dollars is not high but also not low!
He doesn't know how much better he is than Don Krieg who had to burn and loot to pile up a 17 million dollar bounty based solely on misdeeds and numbers!
But these things were completely inadequate in front of Will!
Will, who had turned into a 'flat-earther', once again raised his right hand, and this time the pink light that symbolized the slippery fruit also lit up!
This is the killer mace that Will mastered after his nine deaths!
This is the state in which he can truly be called a dual devil fruit user! historical
Honeybadger fruit + slippery fruit!
In fact, his transformation into beast form was theoretically his strongest state at this time, but that look was so ugly that Will decisively passed it up!
This model of him is enough!
Hit the slick! .
When Will is able to move freely with zero friction under his feet, even if his instantaneous burst speed is not as fast as the Shave in the Sixth Form, it is definitely similar.
Because he eliminated not only the friction on the ground but also the air!
Moreover, in this state, Will can change the direction of movement at will, which made him extremely flexible!
Swish! Swish! Swish!
Arlong and the others couldn't even catch his shadow, and Will took a life every time he appeared in front of them cleanly!
From a distance, it looks like Will has surrounded the entire Arlong Pirates by himself!
The blood was falling in drops, and Arlong was gasping for air, because of his carelessness, Will who suddenly appeared in front of him left five long and deep wounds on his chest without him noticing!
If he hadn't ducked in time, if his shark skin hadn't been tough enough, he could have been gutted with that one blow!
"Bastard! Don't run around and fight us fairly!"
The extremely frustrated Arlong couldn't help but yell at Will!
In just a short time, the Fish-men he brought with him was almost killed, the same with his several cadres, who couldn't go a single round in Will's hands before collapsing to the ground, not knowing whether they were alive or dead.
If he didn't do something about it, he was really going to be killed here.
So he braced his arms to protect his vital points and rushed out at full power!
The target is exactly Nami, who is watching the battle from a distance!
When Nami saw Arlong coming his way, she turned and ran without saying a word!
At this time she was already sure that Arlong was absolutely going to die, obviously because the handsome man who called himself a pirate hunter was so powerful that he had been slaughtering Arlong crew without resistance the whole time, but she was not so stupid as to be taken hostage by Arlong.
When Nami turned around and ran away, Arlong, who had another bone-deep wound on his back, hit the pool in front of him with all his might!
Water Strike!
Numerous water droplets were imbued with powerful kinetic energy, shooting like bullets at the fleeing Nami!
There was a dense cracking sound, and Nami only had time to turn her head before she was overwhelmed by endless panic!
But in the next second, the expected pain and death did not come.
She tried to open her eyes to see that the pirate hunter whom she had treated like a fat sheep was just standing in front of her with open arms.
"You... Are you okay..." Having been saved by him again, Nami's feelings were complicated, and she didn't think she'd end up dragging him down.
"Get out of the way, this guy is dead!"
Arlong has lost all thought of fighting again.
He thought that even if he couldn't kill him with that move, he could still seriously injure him, but he didn't expect that the 'water strike' that could tear the human body apart would 'slip' the moment it touched his body!
Isn't he a Zoan Devil fruit user?
What about the sliding around on the ground and the one that just 'slid' off his attack?
But just because he doesn't want to fight, doesn't mean Will will let him go!
Will was glad he was prepared for this, or else his future navigator would be gone without even starting his journey!
"Thrasher-ON-DARTS!"
It's a good thing he can say such a stupid name!
Facing the rampaging shark, Will just slightly lowered his chest, and Arlong's pointy nose 'slipped' past him, not causing any damage.
Then Will's raised his right hand slammed it down with all his might!
The claws wrapped in the Infinity Gauntlet pierced straight through Arlong's spine, plunging him to the ground, unable to move again!
Arlong spurted out a mouthful of blood, knowing he was finished...
"Why... Why... Can you... Slip away... my attack..."
"It's because I am a double devil fruit user. Do you understand?"
Will whispered to him in a very malicious tone, and then cut off Arlong's head with his claw!
An incredulous look of shock is still vaguely visible on Arlong head as it rolls to the ground!
After slaying the shark, Will quickly lifted this superimposed state and returned to his normal appearance.
"It's only been a few minutes and I'm actually so tired, when there's more fruit later, it'll drain me dry in a second!"
Will felt helpless with his rapidly declining stamina.
It seems that the method to strengthen himself using devil fruit will need to be implemented fast for his future or else, not to mention snapping his finger like Thanos, he will explode first for sure!
Will picked up Arlong 'valuable' head and walked towards Nami who was running his way, as well as the villagers and his crew who were attracted by the sounds of battle.
"You really did it?!"
Nami looked at Arlong's head and felt hatred, anger, disbelief, relief... And so on..
And her mixed emotions welled up!
"The Arlong pirates have been completely wiped out by me, and his base should contain the wealth that they have been squeezing and robbing for years. So you can give it back."
Will said, magnanimously. How stupid would it be to turn against Nami for this amount of money!
Will knew very well that his only purpose was to abduct this extremely eye-catching genius navigator, and there was no hurry for the rest.
After saying that, Will led the people away in the respectful eyes of the villagers.
After he left, he didn't know what Nami said, but the villagers' cheers resounded through the whole island!
In the evening, all the drinks were taken to the square and the villagers started to party!
Nami followed her promise and drank more than a dozen barrels of wine before finally getting drunk in front of the horrified eyes of the crowd.
But Will didn't take this opportunity to do anything to her, but smiled and let Nojiko take her back.
