Problem isn't so easy to solve

Everyone was dumbfounded, and naturally, his women wished to quickly come to his side, but Tashigi was much faster, clung to him, and asked, "What was that, Masa? Is that your sword technique? Why was it so much different from others?!" 

How could Tashigi not be so excited? 

Unlike all of the sword masters that Tashigi had seen, who mostly used their brute strength to win, Masa's technique was elegant, beautiful, yet deadly. 

If she had to say, it was like water. 

Masa adapted his opponent's movement like flowing water, then cut down his opponent like pressured water that cut through a diamond. 

While certain physical requirements were necessary, they weren't the most important point. 

Experiences, skills, senses, talents, and many others. 

Well, more importantly, it was a talent since, like what Masa had to say before, compared to Koby, who just trained for two years, Zoro's development had trained so hard from childhood till now appeared so insignificant. 

Still, to shut Tashigi, Masa kissed her lips, causing her eyes to widen and then melt in his embrace. 

"Calm down. I will tell you after we return." 

"Um..." 

Anyway, the two of them would be together for so long, and somehow, Tashighi anticipated such a future, especially when they could work together to develop a sword technique. 

Yet, while Tashighi wanted to be with him more, all of his women quickly came out of the door and pushed her away. 

"You are unfair!" 

"Watch the place and occasion, okay?" 

"You should act with dignity. There are many people around us." 

"....." Tashigi. 

Yet, even if many people were around as they were attracted by the duel between Mihawk and Masa, no one thought to get closer or ask. Instead, all of them maintained their distance and showed a submissive expression since they knew well that if they angered Masa, they were as good as dead. 

Arlong Pirates that had haunted this place were easily destroyed by one of their random slashes, so they, who were nothing but slaves in front of the Arlong Pirates, knew that they couldn't anger Masa nor be rude toward him. 

In front of Masa, there were ants that could be crushed at any moment. 

Still, if someone had the biggest reaction, it would be Nami, especially when she saw how her nightmare was crushed just like that. Those fishmen who always appeared arrogant showed timid and cowardly attitudes when they saw her staring at them. No one dared to talk to her and quickly lowered their heads when they met her gaze. 

'Why?' 

Such a question naturally emerged in her head, and she knew well that if a reason existed, it was all due to Masa, the young man, who stood nearby by her side. 

Nami might not be the only woman he has, but as everyone registered as one of his women, it was natural for those fish-men who had always been arrogant to think that Masa would kill all of them for revenge, and facing Masa who had killed Mihawk, who was known as the strongest swordmaster in the world, how could they even think to run away? 

Yes, all of them could jump into the ocean to run away, but as Masa fought Mihawk, all of his cats made the move and caught all of the members of Arlong Pirates along with the Marine group. 

At this moment, this island was as good as his. 

Still, compared to that fact, Nami was more attracted to the figure of Arlong, who had become disabled. She wasn't sure whether Arlong was lucky, but he was still alive, seemingly being pulled and protected by the others. Naturally, when Arlong noticed her gaze, his expression was one of fear and complexity. 

Once again! 

Once again, it had always been like this! 

The fish-men should have been superior creatures that could enslave all the living beings in this world, yet once again, their position turned into the weakest, the one that could only beg and succumb by the will of the strong. 

"Do you want to leave the rest to me or kill him by yourselves, Nami?" 

"..." 

Nami was in a daze, staring at Masa, who held a pistol, seemingly about to give it to her. Even if he didn't say everything, she knew that he gave her a chance for revenge, so she took the pistol without hesitation and aimed it at Arlong. 

"Clear up the path." 

"Okay, nyaa!" 

"No, Arlong!" 

"Argghh!" 

"I..." 

All the cats quickly pulled all of those members of the Arlong Pirates who tried to protect Arlong, leaving only Arlong, who lay disabled on the dirty ground pathetically. 

"Hehehe... Nami, are you going to kill me?" 

Still, facing Nami, Arlong didn't lose his arrogance. "With that small thing? Do you think you can kill me?!" If it was Masa, he might be afraid, but watching Masa's expression, who disdained him and clearly gave the chance of killing him to Nami, the weak, made him angry and lost his fear. 

Yes, Arlong knew that with everything that he had done, he would lose his life sooner or later, but then again, he definitely wouldn't lose his life in a humiliating way! 

"If you want to kill me, you—" 

Bang!

Arlong stared at Nami in a daze, and the pistol that exuded smoke in a daze before the pain and scorching heat came from his chest, yet before he was even able to scream—

"AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!" 

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

Nami kept screaming and shot Arlong as she cried, thinking of her hard work, everyone who died and tortured, and then her dead mother. Finally, finally. She could finish her revenge, and as she thought so, she continued to shoot, even after the bullets were emptied and her hand was red from the heat that came from the pistol, yet she didn't let it go until Masa took it away. 

"He is dead." 

Nami was hugged by Masa, and at that moment, she clung to him as she cried with all of her might. 

No one said anything, including the members of the Arlong Pirates and the Marines, since they knew well that their lives were in the hands of Masa. 

However, Vivi, who stared at the dead Mihawk, was in silence, and had made up her mind. 

Still, as many things happened, they decided to rest at Nami's home for a while, and all the villagers were happy that they were saved from the terror of the Arlong Pirates. 

If trouble existed, it was the fact that a certain pirate who loved to laugh was about to come, and Usopp, who watched how dependent Nami was on Masa, knew that Nami might disappear. 

"Luffy! Hurry up and come!" 

It was just that the problem didn't end with just a mere Mihawk or a certain pirate who loved to laugh since, in a certain direction, a man with a tattoo brought a storm as he looked toward the East before he made his move.
