Sakazuki: "A pirate turning good??? Heheh, utterly foolish!!"
Seeing the Red Luffy in the video actually telling Buggy not to emulate the Arlong Pirates, Sakazuki couldn't help but laugh.
Pirates are pirates! How could they possibly stop doing evil just because of your words?
Naive!
Benn Beckman: "What??? Are pirates necessarily bad? Are Marines necessarily good? What about the incident with Captain Nezumi just now... Go ask Sengoku if the palm print on his face has faded yet???"
Shanks: "I think Buggy said something very well! No one is born evil! There are many evil people in this world, but every evil person has a reason for being evil!"
"I believe Buggy won't completely turn bad!"
Gol D. Roger: "Little Buggy said it perfectly! In this cruel world, many people are forced into becoming villains! But even villains surely have some goodness they wish to protect!! Of course, someone like Rocks doesn't count!"
Rocks D. Xebec: "Damn you, Roger, are you targeting me??? I wasn't killing people from the very beginning either!! Although I'm dead, I still remember the first dog turd I killed! Just because he thought I smelled bad, he gave me a big slap across the face and told me to get lost!!"
Monkey D. Garp: "Heheh, Rocks, stop trying to whitewash yourself! Someone looked down on you, so you killed them. While that's a bit much, it's not the main issue. But because of that one incident, you completely turned into a murderous demon! That shows your inherent nature is evil! It just needed a trigger to activate it!"
Rocks D. Xebec: "Hahahaha! I can't be bothered to waste so much breath on you! Anyway, after that incident, I understood one thing! Rather than letting this world hold malice towards me, it's better to make this world tremble in fear of my brutality!!"
Shiki: "Dammit, less talk..."
[Arlong Park]
["Why are Hachi and Kuroobi taking so long??? It's just an ordinary small boat, they should have handled it easily, right?"]
[Arlong Pirates officer, Chew, frowned, picking his teeth unhappily.]
["Sha-hahaha!"]
[On a nearby deck chair, Arlong was sunbathing, grinning widely. "Those two must be playing some new tricks again! Maybe they're enjoying watching so many people fall into the sea?"]
["Hahaha!!"]
["That's right! Lord Kuroobi must be using those human sandbags to practice his Karate in the sea again!"]
["Last time, two little girls fell off a boat, Lord Kuroobi went up and hit them with two One Thousand Brick Fists, blew them right up!"]
["Haha! I still remember the terrified, desperate look on those lowly humans back then, it was truly wonderful!"]
[Just as the Fishmen were laughing heartily, the central pool in Arlong Park suddenly exploded with a splash!]
[The splash carried a tinge of red...]
[A red figure shot out from the pool!]
["N-.... No.... Not good....! Kuroobi, he...!!"]
[Octopus Hachi pushed half of Kuroobi's corpse forward, stuttering in terror.]
[He had been waiting underwater for Kuroobi to signal him. He didn't get the signal, but instead got half of Kuroobi falling down!]
["KUROOBI!!!"]
[Before Hachi could finish, Chew dashed over in a flash. Looking at Kuroobi, who was thoroughly dead, his face filled with grief!!]
["What happened?!!"]
[Arlong also leaped up from his deck chair instantly.]
[Just then, the sea gate of Arlong Park suddenly exploded!!!]
[A carved sheep's head glided quietly in.]
[On this figurehead's neck, Luffy sat cross-legged.]
[On the deck behind him, Zoro, Buggy, Usopp, and Sanji were already in position.]
["Attack!!"]
[The moment the Merry entered Arlong Park's range, Luffy roared!!]
[An incomparably powerful pressure suddenly erupted from Luffy!!!]
[Like rolling thunder crashing down from the heavens, the Fishmen in Arlong Park didn't even have time to react before they were all flattened onto the ground, foaming at the mouth!!!]
[Those Fishmen in the water simply rolled over, belly up!]
[Simultaneously, the instant Luffy unleashed his Conqueror's Haki, Buggy grabbed Zoro with one hand and Sanji with the other, flying directly forward, straight towards Arlong!!]
[Of course, Buggy's flight wasn't perfect, as his feet couldn't fly. But if his feet were placed in a safe location, the rest of his body could fly freely!]
[After Luffy unleashed his Haki, his own arms instantly stretched out, grabbing both sides of Arlong Park's gate, then twang!—he launched himself towards Arlong.]
[Except for Usopp, the other four landed beside Arlong almost simultaneously.]
[However...]
["Didn't you say this guy was really strong...?"]
[Luffy looked at Arlong lying on the ground, foaming at the mouth, and turned towards Buggy with a bewildered expression.]
["..."]
[Buggy spread his hands, his expression utterly helpless. "In terms of strength, he really is the strongest among all those with bounties in the East Blue. Also... I heard he was on par with Jinbei on his former ship!"]
["Jinbei? Who the heck is that???" Luffy scratched his head.]
[How come there are more and more characters.]
[Buggy said very seriously: "Jinbei is a truly powerful expert, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea specifically appointed by Marine Headquarters. In terms of underwater combat, even an Admiral wouldn't gain an advantage against him in the sea!"]
[Zoro glanced at Arlong. The latter just let out a couple of weak gasps, completely lacking the strength to get up.]
[He frowned. "So, does that mean... Luffy can now easily crush a Warlord of the Sea???"]
["Ah! This... probably not! I feel like it might just be that this Arlong..."]
[Buggy didn't want Luffy to get the wrong idea. What if Luffy got cocky and directly declared he wanted to challenge all seven Warlords single-handedly? Wouldn't that spell disaster?!]
[He thought for a moment... Back on the Roger Pirates, he was also considered on par with Shanks, but now... the difference in strength between him and Shanks was like heaven and earth!]
[Presumably, the situation between Arlong and Jinbei is similar?]
[Just then, Usopp climbed down from the Going Merry, ran over to the group, and asked with a speechless expression: "So... is this battle over???"]
Usopp: "Hey hey hey!!! That Luffy over there is too monstrous!!! Just one blast of Conqueror's Haki, and the Arlong Pirates are wiped out!!"
Roronoa Zoro: "This fight was way too easy..."
Jinbei: "Impressive is impressive, but... he actually asked who I am?"
Portgas D. Ace: "Hahaha! Brother Jinbei, don't mind it! My little brother just says whatever he wants, he doesn't actually mean any harm."
Marco: "Haha! What a big blue onion! But Ace, that's the Luffy over there..."
Portgas D. Ace: "The little brother over there is still my little brother!"
Queen: "This is too hilarious! That Red Luffy kid actually planned a decapitation strike beforehand! He uses Conqueror's Haki to take out all the small fry, then the whole crew assaults Arlong together! Hahaha..."
Sasaki: "That Arlong fish is lucky he got knocked out by the Haki, otherwise, he probably would have been scared half to death by that sudden assault!"
Trafalgar Law: "What has Arlong over there done to deserve such serious treatment from Red Straw Hat captain over there..."
Sengoku: "Strength, brains, and considers matters seriously... If Red Luffy over there could join the Marines, he would definitely be Fleet Admiral Sengoku's best successor!"
Gion: "And he delivers the finishing blow in battle!"
Monkey D. Garp: "Aaaah! When will the quiz start?! I want to answer questions! Preferably give me a reward that lets me pat both Luffys!!"
Monkey D. Luffy: "Huh? Grandpa?"
[Arlong Park]
["Next!" In the main hall of Arlong Park, Usopp stood guard imposingly.]
[Buggy's two hands dragged in a Fishman pirate, then dragged out the one on the ground who had woken up.]
[Usopp stepped forward, whack whack whack, a few blows with his staff woke up the Fishman who had just been brought in.]
[Luffy lay on the deck chair, legs crossed, and asked calmly: "Speak! What's the deal with Nami needing to pay 100 million Berries to buy the village!"]
[After this Fishman finished speaking, Usopp shouted again: "Next!"]
[One after another, Fishmen were brought in for individual questioning. Some answered, some were defiant and cursed wildly...]
[But it didn't matter...]
[Anyway, Luffy just wanted to confirm whether the story about Nami's 100 million Berries was true or false.]
[After the last Fishman was taken out, Luffy sat up straight on the deck chair: "Looks like Nami really did have her difficulties."]
[Through the testimonies of over a dozen Fishmen willing to confess, Luffy could completely confirm that Nojiko's account was entirely true.]
[He and Usopp went outside. Outside, blood already flowed like a river....]
[Those Fishmen who had been questioned were faced with execution upon going outside!]
[Without exception!!!]
[At this moment, only Arlong remained from the entire Arlong Pirates crew.]
["You lowly human!!! I'll kill you!! Give me back my comrades' lives!!!!"]
[Arlong's face twisted, roaring hysterically, rushing madly towards Luffy!]
[From his appearance, it seemed he wished he could drink Luffy's blood and eat Luffy's flesh!]
[However, his waist had been pierced by Zoro's sword, pinning him to the ground!]
[Although Fishmen skeletons are ten times stronger than humans', before Armament Haki... they are insignificant!!]
[Luffy walked over, slowly crouched down, and ruffled Arlong's hair with his hand, smiling coldly: "Very good, this is the kind of emotion I wanted to see!!"]
["How is it? Watching your comrades being slaughtered, doesn't it feel terrible?"]
[Hearing Luffy's mockery, Arlong burned with rage: "You lowly human! You devil!!! Let me go! I'll kill you!"]
["Let me guess, when you were massacring Cocoyasi Village, there must have been villagers roaring madly just like you are now, right??"]
["There must have been villagers saying things like 'Arlong, you devil, I'll kill you,' right???"]
[A clear sneer formed on Luffy's lips.]
["AH!!!"]
[Arlong was practically going insane!!!]
[That's right!]
[Luffy was completely right!!]
[When they, the Fishmen, massacred Cocoyasi Village, those humans first begged pitifully. When hope was lost, they cursed and roared hysterically...]
[Isn't it just like him right now???]
["Devil...! You are a devil!!!"]
[Honestly, Arlong wasn't afraid of death.]
[But looking at Luffy before him now, Arlong felt a deep fear in his heart!!!]
[His eyes darted around; his head trembled involuntarily; he mumbled incoherently: "You're a devil... Don't come near... You're a devil..."]
["Driven mad by the stimulation???"]
["Heh! Whether you're truly mad or faking it, you have to die anyway!"]
["However... killing you like this is letting you off too easily!"]
["I'll take you somewhere!"]
[Saying this, Luffy grabbed Arlong's head and lifted him straight up!!!]
[The next day, all the towns and villages throughout the Conomi Islands dispatched large numbers of people who arrived at Cocoyasi Village!!]
[Beside the mountain of corpses in Cocoyasi Village, they took turns, one slash after another, unleashing their fury upon Arlong!!!]
[At such times, Arlong's powerful recovery ability ironically benefited all the villagers. Otherwise... Arlong would probably have kicked the bucket before everyone got a turn!]
[Finally, amidst raging flames, Arlong, howling miserably, was burned to ashes!!!]
Rocks D. Xebec: "This kid is really interesting! Making that Fishman watch his comrades get killed one by one, and finally holding a 'Ten Thousand People Dragon Slaying Assembly' for him! Hahaha!!! I like this kid!!"
Gol D. Roger: "Indeed! For trash like Arlong, it should be an eye for an eye!!! I have to say, watching this part was really satisfying!!! Cathartic!!"
Charlotte Linlin: "Mamamama!!! I enjoyed watching it too!! Too bad we can't send tips, otherwise, I'd reward him with tens of millions of Berries!!"
Wang Zhi: "I remember the Arlong Pirates crew from this side ended up being arrested by the Marines, right?"
John: "Yes! I think the way the Straw Hat Pirates over here handled it was stupid!! Since you wanted to rid the people of a scourge, you should do it thoroughly! Only then can you ensure no future troubles!!"
Wang Zhi: "Yeah! If Arlong and his crew had a chance to escape, wouldn't they possibly go back and take frantic revenge on those villagers??? Red Luffy over there did it right. Not only killed them all but also let those villagers release years of suppressed anger and fear! Truly satisfying!!"
Roronoa Zoro: "Thinking about it carefully, maybe we should have killed Arlong and his crew back then too. It's lucky they really were imprisoned. If the Marines escorting them were like Captain Nezumi, the villagers of Cocoyasi would have suffered!"
Usopp: "Actually, after the Black Cat Pirates were driven away, I was always worried they might go back for revenge on the villagers after I set sail. If we had killed them back then, or turned them in for bounty, there wouldn't be so many worries."
Nami: "Hearing you guys say that, I feel really scared in hindsight... Luffy, in the future, when dealing with bad guys, we really need to be ruthless when necessary!"
Nico Robin: "Alright, everyone, let's stop talking about it. Don't try to change Luffy. The current Luffy is just fine. If it really becomes necessary to do that kind of 'weeding out the roots,' I will take action..."
Monkey D. Luffy: "I'll think carefully about what everyone said."
