Sailing: His comprehension is against the sky, and he comprehends the Eight Gates at the beginning.

"Nokiko, Ken, everyone, please don't act rashly!"

"You absolutely mustn't die, or everything will be over."

"It's just 1 million Berries, right? I'll just save up more."

"If everyone dies, then it's really all over."

Nami cried out in her heart, praying that the villagers would not act rashly.

However, to her sudden shock, she saw a large group of villagers carrying shovels and wooden sticks at the entrance to the Arlong Empire.

Nami panicked. If the villagers barged in, everything would be over.

She immediately raised her arm, wiped the tears from her eyes, and then forced a sunny and happy smile.

He strode up to the group and spoke in a relaxed tone.

"Everyone, wait a minute!!!"

"Wait a little longer, I'll try again."

"Huff huff..."

"It's not difficult to accumulate 1 million Berries; I already have a lot of experience with it."

"This time, I'm sure I'll be able to save up enough very quickly."

"At that time, the village and everyone will..."

Before she could even utter the word "liberation," Nami suddenly froze, noticing the familiar straw hat on Nojiko's back.

"Nami!!!"

I heard a deep, almost suffocating sound.

Then, Nami saw the straw hat behind Nojiko slowly move and come to her.

Nami stared blankly at the familiar man in front of her, and then saw him raise his hand and wipe away the tears that hadn't dried from the corner of her eyes.

In an instant, Nami's pent-up grievances seemed to burst forth uncontrollably, and tears streamed down her face like a gushing spring.

Her feigned strength seemed to have completely given way at that moment, and she slumped down, squatting on the ground.

She looked up at the face standing in the sun, but obscured by a straw hat, and spoke in a choked voice, her voice filled with utter helplessness and pleading.

"Luffy... Luffy..."

"...Help me!!!"

Chapter 50 The Arlong Empire Collapses! (Thanks to Stupid Stool for the monthly ticket)

As soon as Nami finished speaking, she felt a shadow looming over her.

The next moment, she felt her head being pressed down and a straw hat being put on her head.

Nami felt a slight jolt as she touched the slightly rough hat on her head.

She remembered when she was with Luffy, he told her that this hat was very important and that no one was allowed to touch it easily.

But now, Luffy has entrusted his most important straw hat to me.

At that moment, Nami felt incredibly warm and moved, and tears welled up in her eyes again. She bit her lip, her body trembling slightly, and she tightly pulled the hat up over her head.

...

Meanwhile...

After handing the straw hat to Nami, Luffy strode into the Arlong Empire.

Behind them, Uta, Zoro, Sanji, and Usopp followed closely.

The fishmen in the Arlong Empire all stopped what they were doing when they saw five strangers suddenly barge in.

They spontaneously gathered together and gradually formed a circle, completely surrounding the five people.

Meanwhile, Arlong, the leader of the fish-men, sat motionless in his chair, a smile playing on his lips, watching Luffy and his companions with amusement in his eyes.

Behind them, at the entrance to the Arlong Empire.

Seeing Luffy and his crew surrounded by dozens of fishmen in the blink of an eye, the villagers were filled with worry.

Are they all really okay?

"They have nearly fifty murlocs! We really shouldn't have brought them along!"

"The other fish-men are alright, only ten times stronger than us ordinary people. But Arlong's subordinates are all elite fish-men! Especially Arlong, he's a great pirate with a bounty of 2000 million Berries. I doubt anyone in this East Blue can defeat him!"

"Luffy, you said you could defeat Arlong, you really weren't lying to me, were you?!"

Nojiko looked at Luffy's back with worry in her eyes and murmured.

Meanwhile, on Luffy's side...

"The rest are yours."

Luffy said in a low, deep voice.

The four people behind him nodded in agreement.

Then, Luffy walked heavily, step by step, to Arlong.

Arlong sat leisurely in his chair, a smile playing on his lips, his eyes filled with disdain and amusement, as he looked at Luffy and spoke.

"who are you?"

"Are you here to stand up for Nami?"

"Didn't Nami tell you how terrifying we fish-men are?"

"Or... are you just a fool who came here specifically to die?"

Ah Long raised an eyebrow, his disdain and contempt evident in his eyes, and burst into laughter.

"Hahahahaha..."

Luffy remained silent in the face of Arlong's provocation and insults.

His face was gloomy, making him look suffocating.

Arlong lost interest when he saw that Luffy was like a block of wood.

"cut..."

Just as he was about to casually crush the seemingly weak human in front of him, he suddenly saw Luffy's mouth open.

The next second, Luffy roared angrily, and his voice could be heard throughout the entire Arlong Empire.

"Nami..."

Upon hearing this roar, everyone immediately turned their gaze towards Luffy.

Meanwhile, Nami, who was burying her head in her straw hat and crying, bit her lip, looked up at Luffy through her tears, and murmured Luffy's name.

"Luffy..."

Then, the resounding sound rang out again throughout the venue.

"...Look carefully..."

Nami listened to Luffy's roar, her eyes fixed on him without blinking.

Then, Luffy slowly clenched his fist and raised it.

He continued speaking to Nami in a voice that resonated throughout the entire venue.

"...goods like this..."

Upon hearing Luffy's insults, Arlong's eyes were instantly filled with rage.

The dozens of fishmen present were also enraged by Luffy and glared at him fiercely.

But Luffy ignored it all, seemingly disregarding everything.

"...I can solve it with a flick of my finger!"

With a roar, Luffy's fist shot out like a bullet from a gun.

No one in the entire arena even saw Luffy's movements clearly.

The next second, everyone was shocked to find that the incredibly tall and strong Ah Long was easily crushed on the ground like an ant.

The jagged nose was shrunk back by the blow, the entire face was sunken and completely deformed, a bloody mess, and it was impossible to recognize a human being.

Even the ground where he was lying was deeply cracked and sunken, like a meteorite that had crashed and created a deep crater.

The entire audience was stunned.

The fishmen under Aron's command were filled with disbelief and terror as they looked at Aron lying there motionless, their hearts trembling.

"Brother Long!!!"

"That guy..."

"Impossible! That's Brother Alon! The strongest merman!"

...

The villagers at the door were all stunned, staring at Luffy in disbelief.

"They actually...knocked Ah Long down!"

"He only used one punch..."

"That guy is amazing!"

"Luffy...you really...?"

As Nojiko watched Luffy's retreating figure, tears welled up in her eyes.

Nami, sitting on the ground, stared blankly at Luffy, her heart filled with mixed emotions.

A mix of emotions, including joy, relaxation, surprise, and regret, surged through Nami in an instant.

In the end, she just murmured Luffy's name, just like Nojiko.

"Luffy..."

...

Luffy didn't stop after defeating Arlong.

Instead, he turned around and faced the towering building, which was considered the symbol of the Arlong Empire.

Luffy called out to Nami again.

"Nami..."

Nami looked at Luffy without blinking.

"...From now on, you must behave well..."

As Luffy spoke, he raised his right foot.

With his Devil Fruit power activated, Luffy's legs stretched all the way to the top of the Arlong Empire.

"...Rely on me, the captain!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Luffy suddenly slashed down.

His right foot was like a giant battle axe, cleaving down from the top.

The Arlong Empire crumbled and turned into ruins as Luffy's rapidly descending "battle axe" struck.

...

The Arlong Empire has crumbled!

Chapter 51 Your Captain, Me, Is Very Strong!

The entire audience was shocked once again when they saw the Arlong Empire crumble and shatter under Luffy's kick.

The fishmen looked at Luffy with terrified eyes, unconsciously uttering murmurs.

"What...what's wrong with that guy?!"
