"This shark is my prey, isn't he?"
A playful smile appeared on his lips, "I just wonder if I can skin him to make shoes."
"I heard shark skin also makes good clothes; even if shoes can't be made, a belt can."
"My men!!"
Hearing Link and the others still boasting, especially about making plans for him, Arlong immediately snorted coldly.
"Attack them! Kill them!!"
"Awooo!"
A group of Fish-Men howled like demons and wolves, rushing at Link and his crew from all directions.
"Can we see the Fish-Men display their strength again?"
Colonel Nezumi stepped back, twirling his small mustache, a look of amusement in his eyes.
In his opinion, Fish-Man combat was far more interesting than circus acrobatics.
It's just... why is the sky getting a bit dark?
Colonel Nezumi looked up in confusion, then saw a huge dark shadow hurtling towards him.
At the same time, a strange shout accompanied it:
"Gomu Gomu no... Whirlwind!!"
Luffy, surprisingly, hooked Moomoo's horns with his elongated arms and instantly spun with great force!
The whistling wind directly blew the entire Arlong Park into disarray.
And to achieve maximum effect, he had specifically embedded his feet into the ground to maintain his body's stability.
His idea was good, and his actions indeed produced the maximum effect.
However, it was clear that this was their Idiot Captain's sudden whim, an impromptu act.
He didn't even give a warning or discuss it; he just went for it.
"One day, I'm going to use his head as a rolling pin!!!"
Sanji, with his well-developed athletic senses, quickly pushed Usopp down to the ground, his mouth full of resentment.
Fortunately, Link already knew the nature of this Idiot Captain and had pulled Nami down in advance.
As a result, the only ones suffering were the members of the Arlong Pirates.
Crash, bang, wallop!
After a series of cracking sounds, Luffy felt it was enough.
He casually tossed Moomoo with both hands, and the sea cow, already frothing at the mouth and unconscious, was flung high into the air.
Then it crashed into the nearby sea, splashing up layers of water.
"Hahaha, not bad, not bad."
Luffy clapped his hands, feeling he had performed quite well this time.
To be fair, the result was indeed flawless.
Looking around, Arlong Park looked as if it had been gnawed by dogs and ploughed by a tornado.
The plaza was in disarray, with tables, chairs, benches, and various other decorations scattered everywhere.
And then there were the Fish-Men of the Arlong Pirates.
They had directly faced the impact of Luffy's spinning Moomoo.
One by one, they were sent flying, spitting blood; the lucky ones simply crashed to the ground.
The slightly less fortunate were embedded directly into the walls.
The most unlucky ones played a game of Jenga, falling first, then being hit again by other flying companions, receiving secondary damage.
It could be said that Arlong Park was now a mess, with no more than three Fish-Men left standing.
Yes, only three.
"Those bastards!!!"
Arlong, who had successfully dodged, had bloodshot eyes, and his saw-like teeth gnashed loudly.
"Absolutely unforgivable! Chuu!!"
"What's with that kid? Is he a Devil Fruit User? Nyu!!"
The only ones left standing were the two cadres, Chuu and Hachi.
Both had managed to evade thanks to their superior abilities compared to their companions.
Chuu was enraged by the devastation of his territory and the miserable state of his comrades, while Hachi was more surprised by the strange abilities Luffy displayed.
"Are Devil Fruit Users, mostly found on the Grand Line, appearing in this small East Blue?!"
Arlong also had a grim expression. "But I've seen many Devil Fruit Users, don't think you can win against us just with Devil Fruit Abilities!"
On his two hands, cutting weapons made of teeth, resembling gauntlets, suddenly appeared.
"We will make you lowly, despicable humans realize that provoking us comes with a price!"
"You will suffer a fate more painful than death!"
He roared, flailing his arms.
Link, who had stood up, picked at his ear.
"Seen many? More like been beaten many times, right?"
He squeezed his two hands, producing a crisp sound of bones interlocking. "I'll also let you know that today you will definitely be skinned, either to make shoes or a belt!"
"Brothers, attack!"
With a wave of Link's hand, Sanji, with a cigarette in his mouth, charged towards Hachi.
Usopp also activated his ability to provoke and brag, infuriating Chuu, who then chased after him.
"Eh? Then what about me?!"
Luffy stood rooted to the spot, dumbfounded, his two feet still embedded in the ground.
