One Piece: Starting with just a sword, the crew relies entirely on slashing.

Ignoring the fishmen's angry glares, Wang Zhe struck first, his famous sword, Siming, crackling with lightning, slashing towards A Long.

"clang!"

Ah Long pulled out a huge serrated weapon from behind him to defend himself, and he and Wang Zhe were locked in a stalemate.

On the other side, the battlefield belonging to Sikong Zhen was a one-sided massacre, with the wails and screams of the fishmen never ceasing.

Ah Long's eyes were bloodshot, and his sharp teeth were almost crushed by his own bite. In his rage, he unleashed a surge of power that sent Wang Zhe flying.

"Stop! Stop, you bastard!"

"You despicable human, I will definitely kill you!"

"Die! Serrated Slash!"

Alon wielded his massive serrated weapon, leaping into the air and slashing forward. Using his momentum, he somersaulted several times in the air before sweeping it horizontally towards Wang Zhe. His speed was incredible, and his power was ferocious, the resulting shockwave causing Wang Zhe's clothes and hair to flutter wildly.

For a moment, Wang Zhe forgot to dodge. As the giant saw teeth drew closer, he suddenly realized what was happening and hurriedly raised his famous sword, Siming, to parry. The instant the weapons made contact, he felt immense pressure. The ground beneath his feet cracked inch by inch, and his calves sank directly into the floor.

Arlong's strength continued to increase. Wang Zhe gritted his teeth and resisted, his body slowly sinking into the ground. Feeling Arlong's immense power, Wang Zhe mentally screamed, "Are you kidding me! Luffy, are you faking this?! You can take this thing down with one kick!"

With the situation at a standstill, Wang Zhe realized that he had to find a way to break the deadlock immediately, otherwise things would get really troublesome if they just kept going underground.

The current situation is too passive. Although Wang Zhe's strength is no weaker than A Long's, he has already been suppressed by the first move. It would be unwise to compete in strength.

His brain raced, and Wang Zhe quickly came up with a solution. He swiftly shifted his body to one side and pressed down, using the momentum to slide the Famous Blade Life-Slaying along the giant saw teeth. Seizing the opportunity, he flipped his hand and abruptly changed the direction of his force.

With a clang, the famous sword Siming got stuck in a gap in the huge serrated edge, and the change in the direction of the force pulled A Long closer to Wang Zhe.

Seeing that the distance was right, Wang Zhe suddenly exerted force with his right foot for support, while his left foot, like lightning, was pulled out of the ground and kicked towards A Long's abdomen.

The kick wasn't very powerful, but the lightning it carried caused puffs of white smoke to rise from Ah Long's body, and his body went numb for a moment. Wang Zhe seized this brief opportunity, flicking away the huge saw in Ah Long's hand and using the force to propel himself up from the ground.

With the pressure gone, Wang Zhe breathed a sigh of relief, and his gaze toward Ah Long became serious and sharp, no longer daring to underestimate him.

Ah Long's expression was ferocious, like a demon, panting heavily with puffs of white smoke coming out of his mouth. Although he had lost his weapon, it did not affect his desire to attack. He charged towards Wang Zhe without regard for anything else, swinging his strong arms repeatedly.

Wang Zhe was naturally unafraid and fought back just as fiercely. As the two continued to fight, Ah Long gradually became exhausted and fell into a disadvantageous position, and was once again defeated.

At this moment, Ah Long was exhausted, his arms were covered in wounds and bleeding, hanging limply at his sides. The resentment in his eyes disappeared, and he looked empty and numb for a moment. He thought of the humans he had enslaved and killed, wondering if they had ever felt the same despair he did now.

On the battlefield, the screams of the merfolk roused Arlong from his numbness. There was no time for him to empathize with the tragedy he had caused. The loss of his merfolk companions reignited the flames of war in his eyes.

This time, there was no anger or resentment in Ah Long's eyes, only the fighting spirit born from protecting his comrades! The will to protect his comrades supported him as he overcame his exhausted body, and his scarred arms were raised again, his posture becoming upright once more.

"Secret Technique: Shark Gear!"

Ah Long leaped up with all his might and spun at high speed. With each rotation of his body, large amounts of blood seeped out, gradually forming a blood-red gear that charged toward Wang Zhe with unstoppable force!

Sensing the change in Ah Long's eyes and emotions, Wang Zhe felt a mix of emotions. Although Ah Long had committed many crimes, he was genuinely good to his companions, but that was not a reason to let Ah Long go.

As for persuading people to do good, Wang Zhe had no such intention. He wasn't one of those monks who always chanted, "Put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the spot." In his opinion, such words were utter nonsense. If such heaven-defying remarks were useful, what would be the point of having police? Wang Zhe strongly agreed with General Duanmu's statement, "Once an Oukeser, always an Oukeser."

Even so, Wang Zhe gave up resisting Ah Long's attack. With the famous sword Siming by his side, he had no worries. Wang Zhe intended to respect this will to protect and let Ah Long die with a little peace of mind.

As the saying goes: Don't advise others to be kind if you haven't experienced their suffering.

Among One Piece fans, there's a common saying: "If you had half my experience, you might not be any kinder than me." Besides, Wang Zhe isn't some kind of bully; he never intended to exterminate them. He actually quite likes kind fish-men like Xiao Ba.

No one on the battlefield noticed Wang Zhe's decision to give up resistance except for Sikong Zhen, and Sikong Zhen did not take any action, believing that Wang Zhe must have his reasons for doing so.

Moreover, with the famous swordsman Siming present, he was not worried about Wang Zhe's safety. At this moment, only Xiao Ba and a few other fishmen remained on the battlefield. However, in order to prevent any accidents from happening, he stopped his killing spree and kept a close eye on Wang Zhe's location.

"Pong!"

The crimson gear formed by Ah Long's attack slammed into Wang Zhe, followed by a huge explosion that instantly kicked up a cloud of dust that obscured the figures of Ah Long and Wang Zhe.

"Tingling—"

Let the world fall silent, and listen to the sound of a legendary sword shattering!

The crisp, melodious sound of shattering echoed across the battlefield, bringing a strange sense of pleasure to those who heard it.

Everyone was drawn to the sound, stopping what they were doing and looking into the gray fog.

As the smoke slowly dissipated, Wang Zhe stood there, his famous sword Siming still intact, radiating its due luster. A Long, on the other hand, lay on the ground in a spread-eagle position, covered in blood, his pupils wide open. Although he was unable to move his entire body, he still tried his best to move, and the slightly raised finger was his last act of strength.

Wang Zhe looked at A Long solemnly and said, "I will let Xiao Ba and the rest of the fishmen go. Is there anything you want to say?"

Upon hearing this, Ah Long, who was lying on the ground, immediately let go of his last worries and revealed a relieved smile. He understood what Wang Zhe meant; the implication was that he had to die. He felt no resentment or other emotions; he felt that this was what he deserved.

Images flashed through Ah Long's mind, and memories flooded back. Abandoned by his parents at a young age, he lived in Fishman Street, where there was no sunlight. Here, fists were the most powerful means of communication. He was brave and fierce, yet he cared deeply for his friends. He was the object of admiration for all the children and one of the most notorious thugs in the area.

Having witnessed numerous acts of human atrocities, he always told children about his dream of waging a holy war to destroy humanity, until he met the person he respected most in his life—Tiger!

Tiger, like him, was an orphan from Fishman Island, but he was the strongest there. After being defeated by him, he and his brother Jinbe joined the Sun Pirates and began their great mission of saving slaves.

Under Tiger's tutelage, his long-standing hatred for humans finally began to waver. However, an accident shattered all his hopes and deepened his hatred for humans. After Tiger died at the hands of humans, he vowed to kill all the humans who betrayed Tiger. Because of their conflicting ideals, he broke with his good brother Jinbe and eventually left the Sun Pirates to embark on his own path of revenge.

Unfortunately, he encountered a Vice Admiral named Kizaru, was defeated, and imprisoned in Impel Down. Meanwhile, Jinbe, who succeeded the Sun Pirates, gradually rose to fame on the seas and accepted an invitation from the World Government to become a Shichibukai, on the condition that the wanted fish-men be granted their freedom, including Arlong in Impel Down.

Upon returning to Fishman Island, instead of thanking Jinbe, he berated him as a coward willing to be a human's lackey. After being thoroughly beaten by a disappointed Jinbe, he led a group of fishmen to form the Arlong Pirates and entered the weakest region, the East Blue, to begin his plan to conquer the island.

As a fish-man who hated human atrocities, he eventually imitated the human Sabaody Park and built his own Arlong Paradise.

Having witnessed countless acts of violence against fish-men by humans since childhood, he eventually came to rule over more than 20 villages by force, arbitrarily wiping out entire villages that failed to pay protection money.

As the past events resurfaced one by one, Ah Long's eyes revealed a complex mix of emotions, and tears kept welling up.

Young heroes always dream of slaying dragons, but when they see the dragon's treasure, they have already unknowingly become hideous and grown dragon scales!
