=========================================

Arlong's face darkened immediately as Noir pointed at him and cursed. Seeing their leader insulted, Kuroobi couldn't hold back any longer.

"Pathetic human, die!" Kuroobi, relying on his massive build, raised his fist and aimed a punch at Noir's head.

Noir sneered, casually raised his hand, and effortlessly caught Kuroobi's fist, stopping it dead in its tracks.

"What?!" Kuroobi was shocked to see his hand stopped so easily. 

Even though he hadn't used his full strength, this human had casually blocked his attack.

Noir didn't care about what Kuroobi was thinking. He grabbed Kuroobi's fist, twisted his body, and kicked him in the abdomen.

How strong could a human possibly be...

"Ugh!!"

Kuroobi felt a massive force hit him, his internal organs seemed to shift as his tall body crashed down.

Under the shocked gazes of everyone, Noir leisurely retracted his leg.

Such an opponent might have been troublesome two years ago.

As for now...

Two years of rigorous training had pushed his physique and swordsmanship beyond the 300-point mark, stronger than the Straw Hat crew's top fighters during their battle against the Arlong Pirates in the original story.

Moreover, with the aid of "King's Disposition" and "King's Swordsmanship," his Armament Haki had reached a level where he could harden and control it at will.

How could I lose? Huh?!

Clutching his stomach, Kuroobi stood up, eyes wide open, with two ridiculous pigtails on his head, looking comical like a traditional New Year's doll.

He roared, "Human! You're Dead!!"

"Ultimate move! Fishman Karate!"

"Thousand Brick Fist!!"

Kuroobi adopted his stance, unleashing his proudest killing technique.

Arlong's face lit up with a smile, and the fishmen subordinates behind him also looked pleased.

This was the ultimate move of Kuroobi, a 40th-degree Fishman Karate practitioner and a cadre of the Arlong Pirates. What could a mere human do to stop it?

However, in Noir's eyes, the seemingly fierce Thousand Brick Fist was nothing but a paper tiger.

Buzz!

A clear sound rang out as Noir's fist instantly covered in Haki. He casually threw a punch at the right angle!

Kuroobi, who lunged at Noir like a wild wolf, was sent flying back even faster, crashing through a building and landing in the rubble, unconscious.

His forearm was twisted at a terrifying angle, clearly having suffered a massive impact.

The fishmen of the pirate crew couldn't believe what they saw.

The dignified 40th-degree Fishman Karate practitioner, Kuroobi, was defeated with a single punch?!

Arlong's face darkened. He had clearly seen that the boy used Armament Haki!

Why would someone in this remote East Blue know Haki?

At this moment, the kissing fishman Chew couldn't stand it anymore. While Noir was distracted, Chew launched a sneak attack.

"Hundred-Shot Water Cannon!"

Multiple water bullets shot towards Noir, who covered his arms with Haki and crossed them in front of his chest.

The sounds of impacts echoed, but not a single shot could harm Noir.

Annoyed by the sneak attack, Noir immediately changed direction, charging straight towards Chew!

"Stop!"

Arlong's eyelid twitched. He wanted to stop the charging Noir, but Noir was too fast, ignoring Arlong and punching Chew square in the face.

Bang!

Chew's annoying mouth was punched inward, and Noir followed up with a knee strike!

With a combo attack, Chew rolled his eyes and fell, his fate unknown.

"Argh! Damn it!"

The octopus fishman Hachi, another cadre, angrily rushed at Noir, seeing his comrades fall.

Seeing Hachi's face, Noir remembered that Hachi would redeem himself in later arcs.

But what does that matter now?

As long as they're enemies, they all must fall.

Hachi wielded six swords with his six arms, aggressively slashing at Noir.

Noir's eyes flashed coldly. He reached for the hilt at his waist, and in an instant, a blinding sword light shone as he drew his sword and slashed.

One sword against six, yet this disparity didn't give Hachi any hope of victory.

The six swords shattered under the slash, a blood-red wound appeared on Hachi's chest, spraying blood.

With the final cadre defeated, the remaining fishmen of the pirate crew started to feel fear.

Their innate racial superiority had made them arrogantly believe that their natural strength was enough to crush humans.

But now, a single human had shattered that belief with a few moves, trampling it underfoot.

How could they not be terrified?

After dealing with the three cadres, Noir didn't look pleased at all. To these fishmen, these three might be the strongest.

But to him, they were nothing special.

In the original story, Chew was knocked out by Usopp with a hammer.

Hachi was slashed twice by a severely injured Zoro, becoming a laughingstock.

Only Kuroobi, with his underwater advantage, nearly drowned Sanji.

But!

Hey! No water in the village, are you frustrated?

Being defeated by the early Straw Hat crew, the Arlong Pirates' strength was only enough to dominate East Blue.

Ignoring the ridicule in his heart, Arlong looked at his defeated cadres, now resembling dead fish.

Finally, Arlong was furious!

Arlong glared viciously at Noir. The goldfish fishman handed over a black serrated sword, which Arlong took with a terrifying expression. "Kid! I've changed my mind!"

"I'll capture you! And make you watch as I kill everyone in this village!"

Arlong furiously raised his sword and swung it at Noir, who quickly blocked it. A series of slashes and blocks followed.

Arlong, relying on the special serrated blade, temporarily suppressed Noir. But despite Arlong's fierce attacks, Noir's eyes remained calm.

He was adapting to Arlong's attack rhythm. After deflecting Arlong's sword once more, Noir finally began his counterattack.

Arlong was shocked and quickly pulled back his sword to block the blade aimed at his neck.

The tide of the battle shifted instantly. Noir, taking advantage of the serrated sword's large and unwieldy nature, rapidly slashed at Arlong's vital points.

Then, Noir feigned an opening. Arlong swung his sword hard at the ground.

Seizing the opportunity, Noir covered his blade with Armament Haki and swung it hard at Arlong's sword.

With a loud crack, Arlong's sword shattered!

Along with Arlong's spirit.
