66. Half spiritual weapon
Arlong could also see that his hiding technique could not get him anywhere but there was nothing he could do. All his friends were down and he wanted nothing but revenge.
His teeth were clattering against each other in sheer anger. But he also knew that this was his best hope. Water was his only strength and this new pirate group that had just shown up was in a league of their own. He was almost sure that these people had eaten Devil Fruits. Otherwise under no circumstances could this curly eyebrowed person and that famous Zoro could emit fire in their attacks.
And that Straw Hat guy was more outrageous. A person spitting fire from his mouth!! He had never seen such a thing before but there were always weird Devil Fruits out there and who knows what Devil Fruit this person had eaten.
Though he could inherently feel that his location had been detected by something, he didn't care. But Arlong made a mistake.
Ken didn't care about the magic of Nami as he was ready to fly in and bring this piece of shit out. But it was Usopp who stopped Ken.
"I can bring him out."
"What?"
"With your slingshot? Are you sure?"
"Hey c'mon I have another power now, did you forget?"
"You have control over your power?" Luffy and others were surprised by this. They didn't have much hope for him anyways.
"Oi... Have some faith in me alright."
"Fine fine... You will get one chance." Ken said. It was not because he looked down on Usopp or something. He just didn't want Arlong to run away and then come back with more ferocity. He would rather bring this stupid guy down and be done with it.
Those memories of the past came back to him at that instant. He was rooted at the spot. He couldn't move. That small bit of hesitation proved fatal for Arlong.
The spiritual particle arrow went right through his shoulder just inches away from his heart. Unlike kicks and punches, Arlong had a massive hole when the arrow passed by. He vomited out blood almost instantly and got unconscious a second
Few moments later, the water was filled with red color and the body of Arlong floated above. Hachi, who was seeing this from the side, almost jumped on his feet.
He had never seen such weird attacks ever before. Who the hell are these people? Where did they come from?
"Oi Usopp. This fight was supposed to be mine. You took my spot."
"Uh... Sorry sorry. I didn't expect this baka to take the hit. I thought he would dodge."
This was true, though the arrow was fast, the distance was considerable and the water would definitely lower the speed. Arlong should have been able to dodge but a moment of hesitation and his past memories haunted him.
This was his downfall and thus with that attack, Arlong, who was considered as one of the most vicious pirates was taken down.
By this time, many people from the village had arrived. Some people had seen a huge fire blast coming out of the Arlong Park and many were secretly rejoiced thinking the fire might just kill some Fishmen of the Arlong Pirates. That was all they hoped for.
Nojiko, who was in the village, came to see what had happened. But when they saw the whole platoon of fishmen burnt out they thought that this was a dream. Nami finally turned around and looked at her beloved friends.
"Everyone, Arlong Pirates are no more. We are free!!"
There was complete silence as many found it hard to believe that the most vicious pirate that had haunted their village was no more.Alll latest novels at novelhall.com
