<><><><><><>

Until his death, Arlong's mind was consumed by the words "You guess" that kept swirling around. 

Yet, he still didn't know the true identity of the enemy before him. 

After dealing with Arlong, the surrounding fishmen looked at Byakuya with eyes akin to seeing a demon.

Forget about seeking revenge for Arlong, each of them wished they had three legs to run with, fearing that Byakuya might turn on them next. 

"Run!" 

"Quick, run! Arlong and his crew are all dead!" 

So, like madmen, the fishmen rushed into the pool that connected to the sea, swimming with all their might to escape the terrifying man.

In the water, they exerted all their strength, desperate to flee from that horrifying man. 

Thoughts of revenge didn't even cross their minds. Watching the fishmen fleeing in panic, Byakuya didn't rush to attack. 

He pondered, "Seems like Octopus Hatchan isn't here. Maybe he took that sea cow to feed somewhere?"

"What a lucky guy!" 

If he hadn't encountered Hatchan, it was fine, but if he had, Byakuya wouldn't show mercy. 

Although Hatchan, compared to other fishmen, hadn't committed many evil deeds, his hands were not free of innocent villagers' blood. 

Plus, he enjoyed the resources plundered by the Arlong Pirates from the villagers. Even if he were killed, he wouldn't cry out for injustice.

Nami walked slowly in, seeing the bodies of Chew, Kuroobi, and the lifeless Arlong nearby. 

The smell of blood in the air constantly stimulated Nami's nerves. A sensation she had never experienced surged in her heart. 

"Is it finally... over?"

"The pressure that has plagued Cocoyasi Village, the burden I've carried for ten years, is it all gone today?" 

Nami's eyes were unfocused as she murmured. Byakuya chuckled, "It's not completely over yet." 

"What do you mean?" Nami looked puzzled. Byakuya lifted his right leg, twisted his waist, and suddenly exerted force, slamming his right foot down.

Instantly, an unparalleled force spread to the ground. Under Byakuya's precise control, the force only covered the area of the fishmen's lair. 

The ground began to shake violently, and the houses on the surface collapsed with a loud rumble. 

The tower that had imprisoned Nami for ten years also turned to rubble.

Nami looked at the ruins of the Fishman District, a sense of relief flashing across her face. 

With a smile on her lips, two clear tears slid from the corners of her eyes... At this moment, she had truly broken free from all constraints. 

Meanwhile, the sea surface turned crimson, with countless pieces of flesh and blood floating on it. The scene was bloody and terrifying.

These were the fishmen who had fled into the sea earlier. 

They were all turned into minced meat by the shockwave caused by Byakuya's foot. 

With an indifferent expression, Byakuya took off his gloves and casually threw them onto Arlong's lifeless body. 

He reached out and wiped the tears from Nami's cheeks, "Now, this is what truly marks the end."

Nami lifted her charming and enchanting little face, with a captivating smile, her lively eyes fixed on the man in front of her. 

His already incredibly handsome face, at this moment, added another layer of dazzling brilliance. 

Meanwhile, Byakuya heard the continuous system notification sound echoing in his mind, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

Seeing the smile on Byakuya's face, Nami's cheeks flushed, and she murmured, 

"Can I... follow you?" 

"Don't get me wrong... I just want to chart the entire world's sea routes." 

"It's my lifelong dream." 

After saying these words, Nami buried her head into his chest, her two delicate and fair ears resembling red crystals.

However, after a while, Nami still didn't get a response. 

When she looked up, Byakuya seemed to have not heard what she said at all, his expression unchanged, still smiling happily. 

The shyness on her little face disappeared instantly, replaced by a sulky expression. 

Of course, Byakuya had no mind to care about what was happening around him at this moment, as he was fully immersed in the wonderful system notification sound.

[Obtained 1.5 points of World Source Power]

[Obtained 1.8 points of World Source Power]

[Obtained 0.08 points of World Source Power]

[Obtained 0.05 points of World Source Power]

[...]

[Obtained 5 points of World Source Power]

"This... this is too awesome, isn't it?" The strength of fishmen is generally much stronger than that of ordinary pirates. 

So the harvest of World Source Power is also very rich. 

Just wiping out the Arlong Pirates brought in a profit of 12 points and there will be another substantial profit from the event settlement later. 

This trip to Cocoyasi Village is truly bountiful!

When Byakuya snapped out of the joy of the bountiful harvest, he saw Nami's face puffed up like a steamed bun. 

"What's wrong? Did something happen again?" 

From between her tightly clenched teeth, Nami blurted out two words, "Nothing!" 

Her two little fangs grinding audibly. Thinking of what had just happened, Nami felt her face burning.

Byakuya looked at Nami's strange expression but didn't think much of it. 

Instead, he began to ponder, feeling like something was missing from this whole situation.

Like something that should have happened, but didn't. It seemed incomplete. 

Seeing Byakuya frown again, Nami realized that he hadn't heard a word she said.

Her little feet kicked and stomped on the ground in frustration. 

At this moment, a crisp whistle sounded from outside. Byakuya knew immediately that it was a whistle belonging to the Marines. 

The sound of footsteps from the periphery. Judging from the sound, there were nearly a hundred people in the group.

Byakuya's eyes lit up as he watched a sneaky figure walk in from outside. 

"That's it! So it's you!" 

That's right, in the anime, along with the Arlong Pirates, the 16th Marine Branch, Captain Nezumi, was also the culprit! 

If it weren't for Captain Nezumi colluding with the Arlong Pirates.

The crimes of the Arlong Pirates, once reported to higher levels of the Marines, would attract attention from the higher-ups. 

It wouldn't have resulted in the current situation. 

Allowing the Arlong Pirates to run rampant here for over a decade, subjecting Cocoyasi Village to years of torment and suffering.

As Captain Nezumi and his men entered, they were stunned by the scene inside. 

Whether it was the lifeless bodies of Chew and Kuroobi lying at their feet, or Arlong, not far away, broken into two sections with a look of panic on his face, or the pool of crimson flesh floating above the ten-meter pool. 

Everything confirmed a terrifying fact.

The Arlong Pirates had been wiped out by someone, most likely the man standing there with an indifferent expression, whose strength must be terrifying. 

However, Captain Nezumi had his plans. With a wave of his hand, he ordered, "Get them! Surround them for me!"

Seeing this, Nami quickly shouted in defense, "We're not pirates! We're not a pirate!" 

"The pirates have all been killed by Byakuya, he's also a Marine!"
