One Piece: Trainers on the Straw Hat Pirates.

Chapter 74 The Wailing Above the Dragon Empire (Please Read On!!!)

"impossible!"

"How could you possibly become this strong!?"

Having witnessed Nami kill two of his subordinates, Arlong no longer dared to look down on Nami with the same disdain he once had.

But at the same time, countless doubts were surging in his heart.

"Even with the power of a Devil Fruit, it's impossible for Nami to become this strong in such a short time!"

Ah Long, who escaped from the New World, knew very well:

While Devil Fruit powers are incredibly strong, their effectiveness is largely dependent on the user's actual skill level!

Just like Sugar, the user of the Hobby-Hobby Fruit in the Donquixote Family.

If an ordinary person ate this fruit, they would never be able to utilize the Fun Fruit to such an extent as Sugar.

On the contrary...

Even without the Hobby-Hobby Fruit's power, Sugar would still have a high chance of becoming one of the Donquixote Family's executives, just not as important as she is now.

If it were just a Devil Fruit, it certainly wouldn't have made Nami so powerful.

"So...it was that weapon in her hand that amplified her Devil Fruit ability, or is all her power actually derived from that weapon!?"

Arlong, who considered himself experienced, immediately focused his attention on the Clima-Tact in Nami's hand.

"There's no mistake! From the very beginning, this damned woman has been using this stick to release something!"

"It must be the Koreans causing trouble!!!"

A venomous glint flashed in Arlong's eyes, as if he had found Nami's fatal flaw.

In response to Nami's shout, he grinned, revealing sharp fangs, and let out a wild laugh that defied description.

"Nami, I've discovered your weakness!!!"

"weakness!?"

Faced with Arlong's seemingly impotent and furious roar, Nami merely raised the corners of her mouth and let out a cold smile.

"How ridiculous."

"You haven't even seen my full strength, yet you dare to say such things!?"

"What's even more ridiculous is..."

Nami's hands suddenly gripped the Weather Stick tightly, and her eyes welled up with tears again.

"Bellmere, how could you die at the hands of trash like you?!"

At this moment, fond childhood memories flooded Nami's heart.

Endless lightning flashed suddenly, and Nami swiftly raised her Clima-Tact, directing the lightning power upwards.

However, at that moment...

"There's a flaw!!!"

Even though his combat abilities had deteriorated due to years of indulgence, Ah Long still managed to find a breakthrough at this critical moment of life and death.

Taking advantage of the moment Nami raised her baton, he suddenly tensed his legs and stomped hard on the ground.

boom!!!

Under Ah Long's full power, a spiderweb-like network of cracks suddenly appeared on the already dilapidated brick and stone ground.

Arlong, like a torpedo launched from underwater, fiercely attacked Nami's arm.

"Shark ON DARTS!!!"

Pfft!

A burst of blood suddenly gushed out!

Suddenly, Arlong used his sharp teeth to bite down on Nami's left arm.

Due to his race, even among fishmen, his bite force is astonishing!

It was precisely because of this biting force that he was able to become a senior officer in the Sun Pirates.

"What!?"

The sudden sharp pain caused Nami to let out a muffled groan.

But the next second, Ah Long, who was half-squatting, suddenly stood up and, taking advantage of his height of more than two meters, used his teeth to pick up Nami's slender body and then threw her away forcefully!

boom!!!

The injured Nami was suddenly thrown to the ground, and the Clima-Tact she was holding also fell to the ground.

Upon seeing this, Ah Long immediately kicked out, quickly sending the Weather Stick flying far away.

Then, as if he were the victor, he looked down at Nami on the ground and sneered:

"Without that weapon, let's see how arrogant you'll be this time!?"

"Miss Nami!"

On the Going Merry, upon seeing Nami being attacked, Sanji immediately cried out in worry and even put one foot on the railing, wanting to jump over to rescue her.

His eyes blazed with fury, as if he wanted to roast Ah Long alive.

But at that moment, Luffy reached out and grabbed his ankle, stopping him from jumping.

His eyes also showed worry, and he said:

"Nami's battle isn't over yet, Sanji!"

"Luffy..."

Sanji clenched his fists in anger, his teeth trembling for several seconds, but he eventually slowly released his grip.

Although he was worried about Nami's situation, he understood even more the importance of respecting women's choices.

In fact, it wasn't just Sanji; at this moment, everyone in the Straw Hat crew, except for Akane, didn't look too good.

After all, how could they possibly be happy to see their comrades severely injured?

As for crimson...

He was also heartbroken for Nami's injury.

But compared to that, he had already witnessed far too many scenes of Nami being attacked in the game world.

Electric shock, fire, collision, sneak attack...

In order to become stronger quickly, Nami constantly challenges one powerful Pokémon after another.

Although she will ultimately win, she will have already suffered countless injuries in the process.

Because of the Pokémon Center, these injuries did not leave any marks on her body.

Moreover, Red has a more direct way of observing Nami's current state than anyone else!

HP: 88/99

As expected of a pirate from the New World, he managed to take away so much of Nami's health with just one hit.

Although HP data, apart from zero representing death, cannot truly reveal Nami's actual condition.

But this is enough to prove that Arlong's attack still caused considerable injury to Nami.

but……

"Why did you choose to take the hit head-on when you could have used the electric speed boost to dodge it?"

"Are you trying to toy with Ah Long before killing him, or...?"

Seeing Nami lying on the ground with a pained expression despite being in excellent condition, Akane frowned slightly.

On the other side, the Dragon Empire.

Sanji's shout successfully drew Arlong's attention to the Going Merry's existence.

He paused for a moment, then his mouth suddenly widened into a grin:

"interesting!"

"That approaching ship...you were the one who fired the cannonball from there, weren't you..."

"There seem to be a few other humans on board. Were they helpers you found outside?"

As if he had thought of something amusing, Arlong laughed cruelly and mocked the fallen Nami:

"It was your dirty tricks again that lured them here, wasn't it!?"

"Humans are so foolish!"

"rest assured!"

"Before you die, I will make sure they know the truth, and they know how terribly you've deceived them!"

"Because I will kill all these humans right before your eyes... one by one!!!"

"But before that..."

Arlong turned his head again to look at Nami at his feet, his gaze sweeping over her limbs.

"Let your wails comfort the souls of my compatriots in heaven!!!"

"Feel the pain, Nami!!!"

Suddenly, Ah Long raised one foot and stomped on Nami's arm with a ferocious expression.

boom!!!

A loud noise suddenly rang out.

In an instant, sand and stones flew everywhere, and the ground cracked.

This shows just how terrifying power Ah Long put into that kick.

But the next second.

"Um!?"

Ah Long looked at the phantom slowly dissipating beneath his feet, and a look of panic instantly appeared on his face.

"Impossible! When!?"

He screamed in terror.

Just then, a teasing girl's laughter came from behind him again:

"Hehehe..."

Arlong suddenly turned around and was surprised to see Nami, who had somehow picked up the Clima-Tact again, giving him a friendly smile.

"When did you start having the illusion that I didn't use the mirage?"

"in addition."

"Who told you... that I can't be arrogant without the Weather Stick?"

Nami suddenly threw the Clima-Tact at Arlong.

Click!

A soft sound of a mechanism being activated was heard.

The stick that was spinning in the air suddenly split into three sections, connected by two long metal chains, and smashed straight into Ah Long's body.

Immediately afterwards, white mist suddenly shot out from both ends of the weather stick, causing it to spin rapidly around Aaron.

In the blink of an eye, Ah Long was bound by metal chains.

"Damn it! What is this!?"

Ah Long, who was inexplicably bound, felt a sense of unease.

He immediately mustered all his strength, trying to break free from the metal chains.

But Nami let out another soft hum:

"Don't waste your energy!"

"That chain is made of a special metal from the Grand Line, second only to the hardest Seastone in strength, and Usopp bought it at a high price!"

"Although I think that businessman was definitely lying..."

"However, with your strength, it's impossible for you to break free!"

"Die!!! Fishman Arlong!!!"

Stab it! ! !

Brilliant lightning once again erupted around Nami.

"No, that's impossible!"

"You can't possibly be that strong!"

Ah Long struggled in disbelief.

But Nami had already had enough fun.

She stretched out her fingers, making a gun shape, then smiled with relief:

"it's over."

"100,000 volts!!!"

Boom!!!

The terrifying power of lightning, like a coiled dragon, suddenly shot out from Nami's body and instantly pierced through Arlong's body.

next second...

The entire sky above the Dragon Empire began to echo with Arlong's heart-wrenching wails:

"ah--!!!!!!!!"

Thank you to my dear mom, Illusory Moon Ice Heaven Illusory Heart Sword, I just think this name is cool, Father, my love is like a landslide, Mysterious Cultivation Technique, Danrong, and Musong for your monthly ticket support!!!

Thank you everyone for your votes!

I talked to the editor today, and we'll probably be ready to launch it next Tuesday.

However, the editor said that if the current readership data is boosted, it is possible for it to be included in the top three journals.

If it gets published, the release date can be extended further, allowing readers to pay for the book later.

I don't want to be listed on any "Three Rivers" platform; I simply hope to write more free content for everyone.

and so……

I'm begging you all!!!

You absolutely must read this!

Please, everyone!!!
