I collect everything in the One Piece world.

As an ability user, Mosen feels powerless when he comes into contact with seawater, but the "stickers" that his ability has formed are simply manifestations of energy, so they will not immediately become ineffective as long as they are not soaked in seawater for too long.

This simple tactical application easily neutralized the fishmen's most prized underwater advantage, catching them completely off guard.

From the shore, Ah Long took in all of this.

Seeing his capable men, whom he had sent out, inexplicably wiped out before they could even reach the side of the enemy ship, Ah Long's already uneasy and agitated heart was instantly filled with rage.

"Damn it! That useless rat really failed!" Ah Long cursed through gritted teeth.

His worst premonition came true. The "collector" Mosen, who could kill the Sand Crocodile, really came knocking on his door. And he gave him a rude awakening as soon as they met, killing several of his subordinates!

"We can't let him get any closer! Everyone! Follow me into the sea!" Ah Long made a decisive decision and roared.

Although fishmen are ten times stronger than humans on land, the ocean is their true home ground!

If they can sink the ship, that Devil Fruit user will be at their mercy!

He called to the remaining men around him, preparing to jump into the sea and continue the attack from underwater.

But how could Mosen possibly give them a second chance to get close to his ship?

Just as Ah Long and his men had gotten into position, before they could even jump into the water...

"Shhhhhh!"

A piercing whistling sound came from above their heads!

Ah Long suddenly looked up, his pupils contracting sharply!

A dense barrage of shells, like a torrential downpour, was raining down on the entire Dragon Park with astonishing density and speed.

The terrifying sight sent chills down the spines of even the fish-men who were used to storms!

Mosen had no intention of eliminating them one by one; instead, he chose the simplest, most brutal, but also most effective way to start.

Firepower coverage, artillery barrage!

"Get out of the way!" Ah Long's roar was drowned out by the deafening explosion.

"Boom! Boom! Boom boom boom!!!"

The carpet bombing began instantly!

Exquisite sculptures were shattered, sturdy walls were breached, and the pool water was whipped up by the explosion, then fell in waves mixed with smoke and rubble.

"what!"

"my leg!"

"save……"

Screams, wails, and the roar of collapsing buildings mingled together.

Some of the unlucky murlocs who reacted a little slower were blown to pieces by the cannonballs, not even able to let out a proper scream.

With just one round of shelling, Dragon Park was transformed from a fortress symbolizing power and luxury into a living hell.

On the adventure team's ship, Morsen stood at the bow, looking at the Dragon Park shrouded in fire and smoke in the distance, a satisfied smile curving his lips.

"No wonder some armies from my past life, and the navy of this world, like to play this game."

"As expected, there's no enemy that can't be dealt with by sufficient firepower. If there is, then let's have another round!"

Simple, direct, and efficient.

Faced with overwhelming firepower, racial advantages and home advantage seem pale and powerless.

"Nami!" Morsen shouted without turning his head, "Move the boat closer! Straight to the shore!"

"Understood, Captain!" Nami responded loudly, her eyes sparkling with excitement.

The ship cut through the waves and rushed toward the dock area, which had been reduced to ruins.

However, before the ship had even fully docked, Mosen had already leaped off the bow.

As he fell, his lower body once again turned into flowing yellow sand, and then, with the help of the [Cannonball] sticker that appeared under his feet, he drew a golden arc in the air.

Smoke and dust filled the air above the ruins.

A large cloud of yellow sand fell from the sky, then gathered together and formed the shape of Mo Sen.

His cold gaze swept over the burning wreckage and the scattered groans of the fishmen around him, finally fixing on the enormous figure that slowly rose from a pile of rubble not far ahead.

Ah Long looked rather disheveled at the moment, with multiple abrasions and charred marks on his body, and his signature floral shirt was tattered and torn, but the fierce light in his eyes was even more intense.

"Damn humans!" Ah Long spat out the words through gritted teeth, his voice hoarse and filled with hatred.

His precious park, his accumulated wealth, his men... all were destroyed in that horrific shelling! This hatred is irreconcilable!

"Die!" Without the slightest hesitation, his massive body charged toward Morsen like a cannonball!

At the same time, he suddenly reached his hands to the sides of his mouth and forcefully pried them open.

"Crack!"

Amidst the teeth-grinding sound of bones grinding together, Ah Long actually broke off his sharp teeth and held them in his hands, transforming them into two strangely shaped short knives that gleamed coldly!

This is a combination of fishman karate and fishman swordsmanship, and it is also Arlong's most ferocious melee weapon, the Slash!

Since there's no way to avoid it, then strike first! So what if he can take down a Shichibukai? Arlong is a fish-man! His physical abilities are more than ten times that of a human! He possesses overwhelming strength on land! He might very well be a match for him!

Perhaps the opponent is only strong due to their strange Devil Fruit ability and long-range firepower; they might not be so good in close combat...

However, the reality was not as simple as he thought.

Faced with Arlong's ruthless surprise attack, a red glint flashed in Mo Sen's eyes, and he instantly activated his Observation Haki!

Subsequently, Ah Long's seemingly incredibly swift attack trajectory, and even the slightest tremor of his muscles, were clearly presented to Mo Sen's "eyes" as if in slow motion.

He turned sideways and took a step.

Mosen's movements were small, even casual, yet he managed to avoid both of Alon's full-force slashes.

The serrated edges whistled past, grazing the hem of Morsen's clothes and striking empty air.

Upon seeing this, Ah Long's pupils contracted sharply, and alarm bells rang in his mind!

So fast! No, not fast, his movements were completely seen through?!

Mosen's right fist was already clenched, and a layer of deep, ink-black Armament Haki instantly covered his entire fist and even his forearm!

Armament Haki hardening!

"boom!!!"

A loud bang suddenly exploded!

Mosen's fist, clad in jet-black armor, slammed solidly into Alon's cheek!

"Ugh!"

Ah Long felt an overwhelming, terrifying force surge through his cheek, instantly shattering all his defenses and any remaining hope!

His physical prowess, which he was so proud of, was as fragile as paper in the face of this force!

His body was like being hit head-on by a speeding train, flying backward at a faster speed than when it came at him!

"Boom!"

Ah Long's body crashed through several partially collapsed walls, embedding itself deeply in a pile of rubble.

"Pfft!" He suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, mixed with several broken teeth. Half of his cheek swelled and deformed at a visible speed, and you could even hear the cracking sound of bones breaking.

He struggled to his feet, pried out his loose and broken teeth, and threw them away.

His bloodshot fish eyes were fixed on the black-haired youth not far away, filled with horror and disbelief!

"No...it's impossible..." Ah Long's voice was muffled by the swelling of his cheeks, but the shock in his voice was unmistakable.

"That power just now... how could a human possibly possess it?!"

He's a fish-man! A fish-man who's naturally ten times stronger than a human! On land, he should have an absolute advantage in strength!

But that punch just now... what kind of monstrous force was that?! It was like being hit by a sea king! No, it was even more terrifying!

What made Aaron even more incredulous was the color on Morsen's fist!

"Armament Haki..." Arlong's voice trembled slightly.

As a fish-man who had once sailed the Grand Line, he knew all too well what that was!

That's a terrifying ability that can directly attack the physical body of a Logia-type Devil Fruit user, greatly enhancing both attack and defense!

How could a powerful individual wielding Armament Haki possibly appear in the East Blue, the "weakest sea"?!

"Why...why..."

Ah Long couldn't understand why such a person would appear in the East China Sea, why he would meddle in the "trivial affairs" of Cocoyasi Village, and why he would target Ah Long.

Mosen slowly withdrew his fist, and the Armament Haki covering it receded like a tide.

His gaze swept calmly over the trembling fishmen and Arlong around him, and his indifferent voice rang out softly.

"Mere trash..."

"You're not even worthy of letting me use a knife..."

Chapter 84, The Demise of the Evil Dragon (3,000 words)

Mosen's undisguised contemptuous words deeply humiliated every surviving fishman, and even more so, deeply stung the dazed and confused Aron.

"You damned human!"

"Kill him!"

"Avenge Brother Ah Long!"

Anger and humiliation overwhelmed the fear of that terrifying punch. Several fishmen who were a little further away and had survived the shelling were bloodshot as they suddenly rushed out from behind the ruins!

Some charged straight up, brandishing their weapons, while others made empty fists, attempting to manipulate the moisture in the air and use fishman karate to control the water flow, attacking Morsen from the side.

However, before they could even make a move, several cannonballs flew from Morsen's palm, carrying scorching heat waves that struck the fishmen who were trying to launch a sneak attack.

"boom!"

"what!"
