76- Ethan's arrival

"I'll start then," Hatchan said as his chest puffed up, "zero vision Hatchi ink jet" before spewing a torrent of black ink from his mouth towards them.

The five of them reacted, Ann backing away in a hurry while Lucy, Kuina, Zora and Alvida all jumped just out of range of the ink.

"Girls, let's choose our opponents It's time to oust them." kuina said as both sides faced each other.

"I will fight the saw-nose." Lucy growled as she gritted her teeth as she glared at Arlong in the back.

"I'll take the stingray," Ann exhaled, "I don't like how he was talking about Nami earlier"

Ann looked at Kuroobi who is a ray fish-man and an officer of the Arlong Pirates.

Kuroobi has the typical appearance of a martial artist, with a dark blue gi and a black belt, his hair is tied into a straight ponytail. His Sun Pirates tattoo is on the right side of his chest.

"I'll take the octopus; he doesn't look like a swordsman, but those six arms should prove to be interesting" Zora said as she unsheathed her sword.

Alvida nodded and eyed Chew, "guess that leaves me with blonde over there, fine with me." she commented as she cracked her knuckles.

"Well, then I will fight the remaining fishmen and marines." There were no major opponents left for Kuina to fight but there were still some marines and fishmen.

"Good let's get started already." Alvida said as she clenched her fists and charged towards Chew.

"An impatient person, isn't she?" Hatchan commented seeing Alvida running at them.

"She looks as eager to die." Kuroobi added with a smirk.

"I'll show her her place-chu" Chew commented as he stepped forward to meet Alvida as he drew his head back.

"water gun" he said before shooting a high speed stream of water from his mouth at Alvida.

Alvida saw the attack coming and ducked her head as it shot over her and kept moving.

"missed" She said before throwing her mace at Chew. Chew instantly stepped back to dodge it.

"don't think I'm an idiot, I saw what you did before, I don't know what you're powers are but I'm not going to let you come near meor hit me." he said as Alvida came at him and she swung her mace more than once.

..... ....

"Let me enlighten you humans about us Fishman because it looks like you clearly don't understand the hard truth that is right in front of you. From birth, we fishmen are able to breathe not only underwater but also up above the surface while you humans can only do one. We are also ten times stronger than any normal human above the water and in the water where you humans have your strength cut in half, ours increase astronomically. Heaven gave us the power to separate us from you. So we are different! Humans are lower and weaker since the day they were born!" Arlong boasted to Lucy who was beginning to get bored.

"Are you going to run your mouth all day or are we going to fight?" Lucy asked in a bored tone. It pissed Arlong off at how easily Lucy was dismissing him.

'Who does this lowly human think she is!? I am the man who will rule the seas, this human should be honored to be in the very presence of a being like me!" Arlong screamed in his head as he stared at Lucy with a look of pure bloodlust.

"You brag a lot that your race is the strongest, look at your three officers." Nami spoke after hearing Arlong's words.

Soon both Lucy and Arlong's attention was drawn to Zora's fight with Hatchan. When they looked over they saw Hatchan airborne with all six of his swords broken and blood gushing out of his body. His body crashed landed behind Zora kicking up a lot of dust when the dust settled everyone saw Hatchan laying in a small crater out cold.

Then Arlong turned to look at Kuroobi's fight against Ann, and saw that Kuroobi's body was covered in cuts and burns from Ann's attacks.

Ann was using long range attacks and didn't let Kuroobi get close to her, continuing like this until she defeated Kuroobi.

Chew was also badly beaten by Alvida, and was easily defeated by her.

Even Kuina who was fighting a lot of people finished her fight.

'are you kidding me? The fight started less than a minute ago, how did they defeat them so quickly.' Arlong stood with shock on his face, he had absolutely not expected this to happen. After a while the shock disappeared and was replaced by intense anger.

Lucy stared at Arlong who was looking at the fallen forms of Chew, Hatchan and Kuroobi with nothing but rage in his eyes.

"How...how is this possible!?" Arlong screamed. "Humans can't defeat fishmen! We are superior beings in every way, shape, and form!"

"It's my turn to defeat you." Lucy looked at Arlong while saying those words with a smile, her words making Arlong start laughing.

"SHAHAHA! Foolish human, do you seriously thin-ugh." Arlong was interrupted from his speech by a rubber fist being buried in his stomach sending him flying backward crashing into one of the walls of Arlong Park.

"You talk too much." Lucy said as she stared at Arlong picking himself out of the rubble. The villagers stared at Lucy with eyes the size of dinner plates.

"She laid Arlong out with one punch," said one villager.

"Amazing!" said another. Lucy ignored all the cheers of the villagers and focused on Arlong.

While Arlong is being beaten up by Lucy, one of the villagers notices something approaching in the sky.

"Everyone, look over there." The villager shouted as he pointed to the sky.

Another villager looked up at the sky and saw a black dot in the sky expanding as it approached the island, "It's just a bird, what's so amazing about that."

"I don't know but it gives me a strange feeling." After the villager finished his words, everyone present heard a loud roar that shook the entire island and made some of the villagers fall to the ground in fear.

The black dot approached very quickly and its previously inconspicuous shape appeared in front of everyone.

It was a giant dragon covered in black scales. The size of the dragon was very large and it gave off a fierce aura to an incomparable being that made everyone who looked at it felt fear and the desire to worship.

The giant dragon reached Arlong Park and used his giant left hand to strike the building in the middle of Arlong Park.

The dragon's hand is the same size as the building, and when it hit the building in the middle of Arling Park, the building was completely destroyed and only rubble remained.

When the girls saw the giant black dragon, they cried with joy, "ETHAN!!"
