OPI Chapter 43: Arlong was Trampled
🕑 Added 2023-11-01 03:41:03 +0000 UTC"What do we do, Arlong?"
“Yes, we will do it as you say!”
Arlong looked at Hatchan, Kuroobi and the others, and was very happy that they can support him in this way. He then lowered his voice and gave instructions.
"There are eight of us in total, Hatchan, Chew, Kuroobi will follow me to deal with the navy, Pisaro, Kaneshiro, Take, and Shioyaki, you are divided into two groups. Two of you will be responsible for destroying the equipment, and the other two will be responsible for attacking the workers. Remember, you have to be fast, and pay attention to the sound from my side. As soon as you hear the word 'retract', you will immediately jump into the water and return to Fish-man District, do you understand?"
In Arlong's view, human beings are too weak, and they only occupy most of the world because of their large number of people. The most important thing is that they can't breathe underwater, so as long as they wait for others to return to the water, they can't do anything.
"Understood!"
Hatchan, Kuroobi and the other Fish-men all nodded. As for the danger of this operation, they did not take it to heart at all.
It is common sense that the strength of Fish-men is ten times that of humans, not to mention that they are stronger than ordinary Fish-men. What is worth mentioning are the muskets in the hands of humans and how to avoid being caught by the Ammo Knights.
Soon, the eight Fish-men divided into two waves, one of which silently circled the crowd on the other side. They were preparing for a two-sided attack!
At this time, groups of workers from the construction team carried toolboxes and followed the vehicles, slowly heading to the construction site under the watchers of a large number of merfolk and fish-men.
Even the navy in charge of the guard did not suspect anything. The scene of this mermaid harbor was so beautiful that some navy soldiers even inadvertently looked at each other with a beautiful mermaid lady. Both parties were surprised, and she blushed in amusement.
Mermaids are curious about humans, and humans are also curious about mermaids.
At this moment, an unexpected incident occurred. Four sturdy black figures jumped out from the crowd of Fish-men on both sides, charging maliciously towards the vehicles and workers in the middle of the road.
"Who are they?!"
"Stop!"
The surrounding marines were all from Marineford, and even if they were a little lax, it wouldn't be too outrageous. They immediately raised their guns or draw their swords to try to intercept the opponent.
At the same time, Arlong, Hatchan, Chew, and Kuroobi took advantage of everyone's attention being focused on the other four and took action without hesitation.
[Bam!]
"Ah..."
Almost at the same time, four marines were hit hard and fell to the ground with barely time to scream. Some fainted on the spot, while others moaned, covering themselves with their hands where they were hit.
“Ah! It’s Arlong’s group!”
“Why do they do this?”
The surrounding merfolk and fish-men were all exclaiming, and some who recognized Arlong and others showed disgust. These eight people had been doing random things a few years ago and had long been regarded by the merfolk and fish-men of Fish-man Island as Rogue gangster.
However, faced with such a big fight, they did not dare to stand around and watch anymore, and quickly dispersed. Some of them jumped into the water and swam away quickly for fear of getting into trouble.
As a result, the situation on the scene became even more chaotic.
In less than a minute, a dozen construction team workers were attacked, and an excavator with the World Government logo was overturned by Kaneshiro and Pisaro with their bare hands, and then the tires were blown out with one punch.
"Let's get 'em!"
The navy in the distance noticed the situation and was quickly coming to support. Arlong, who noticed this scene, knocked down four more marines and shouted loudly.
“Withdraw!”
As soon as he finished speaking, he turned around without hesitation and was about to leave, but at this moment, the navy who was closer was already in place.
A roar sounded.
A man was seen wearing the same blue trousers as a marine, but a close-fitting yellow T-shirt on his upper body, plus a white vest and a navy hat. The sturdy sailor, who was about 1.8 meters tall, approached the soldier at a brisk speed. At the same time, his right fist, which was already charged, stabbed his face with a cold iron finger through the air.
“Hmph~”
Arlong looked at the short human being with disdain. Although he was only seventeen years old, his talent as a sawshark made him stand two meters forty centimeters tall, and he was still growing.
Arlong, showing no signs of weakness, thrust his bowl-sized fist forward, colliding with the marine's iron finger in the air. Suddenly, there was a dull sound and at the place where they collided, waves spread like an explosion.
"How can this be!"
Arlong looked in surprise at the human marine, which only retreated four or five meters after the fist fight with him. It seemed that the human marine had not changed much. When could the power of humans equal that of Fish-men?
As ignorant as he was, he had no idea that the claim that the strength of Fish-men is ten times that of humans is limited to ordinary Fish-men and ordinary humans who have not received any training and are less than 1.8 meters.
And the marine in front of him, although he is only a little over 1.8 meters tall, is actually a second lieutenant from the headquarters. In terms of strength alone, he is completely enough to suppress ordinary Fish-men.
At this time, the second lieutenant flicked his wrist and sneered: "You look quite big, but your strength is not that great, and Fish-men can't even feed themselves enough, right?"
“How dare you, an inferior race, mock the superior Fish-men?”
Just one sentence completely angered Arlong, and he rushed over without saying a word.
At this time, he was at the most impulsive and extreme age. He was so provoked by the inferior people in his eyes. At this time, he only thought about how to torture the other person to death.
But he didn't notice that Hatchan, Chew, Kuroobi and others were also entangled by the marines. For a time, more than a dozen people almost turned into afterimages and fought fiercely together.
At the same time, there were more and more naval soldiers with guns around.
Finally, a naval lieutenant commander wearing a cape of justice rushed over. He first took a look at the group battle in the field, and then asked a marine about the situation.
"Officer Hodgson, through conversations with several Fish-men, we have basically understood that these eight Fish-man thugs are a gangster group from Fish-man District. They are said to be extreme racists and consider us humans an inferior race." The Marine said angrily.
“What? We humans are an inferior race?”
Officer Hodgson, who is more than two meters tall and has brown-red hair, felt incredible when he heard this. How could he remember that the Fish-man race was not even considered a race of intelligent beings but was regarded as fish.
It was only two hundred years ago that it was treated as a subhuman race, and even now many humans have not changed their minds.
The officer observed the battle situation for more than ten seconds, and then shook his head.
Although these lieutenants have good strength, it is almost impossible to capture these Fish-man thugs in a short time. The most important thing now is to restore the construction order. It would be his dereliction of duty to cause trouble for too long.
[Whoosh!]
The officer disappeared in an instant, and the next second, he appeared in front of Arlong's eyes. The latter only felt that his vision went dark, and before he could react, a heavy kick hit his head.
There was a loud bang, and Arlong fell to the ground with his headfirst. Due to the excessive force, he almost fainted, but he was dizzy and in pain!
Just then, a shiny black leather boot stepped on his head.
"Hey, this is your boss, right?" Officer Hodgson stepped on Arlong and said hello to Hatchan, Kuroobi and the other Fish-men.
The group subconsciously turned their heads to take a look, and immediately stopped fighting in shock.
“Arlong!”
