Ryuya watched Arlong with a smile on his lips. This only fueled Arlong's anger.
Being looked down upon by a human was something he absolutely couldn't tolerate.
Landing on the ground, Arlong, his eyes bloodshot, charged at Ryuya in a spinning attack.
"Shark On Gear!"
Arlong wanted to use his most confident weapon, his teeth, to tear Ryuya apart!
Shaking his head slightly, Ryuya said softly, "The plaything is over."
As Ryuya finished speaking, he used the drawing pen in his hand, thrusting it forward.
In an instant, the air spiraled around the pen tip, and a slash shot directly towards Arlong's heart, whistling through the air!
The peak of Great Swordsman's sword intent was perfectly displayed by Ryuya at this moment.
However, Arlong had completely lost his fear at this point. His eyes were only on Ryuya. He didn't even try to dodge, as if he wanted to die with Ryuya.
But the slash flew through Arlong's heart.
"Pshhh!"
It all happened too fast. Arlong only felt his body go numb, and he was enveloped in darkness.
"Five-Turn Illusion!"
Ryuya murmured, and five illusions appeared out of thin air, tidying up the scene.
At this moment, Cocoyasi Village was once again restored to peace.
The real Genzo, with the villagers, came over. They had heard the noise from the market and came to see what was happening. They were stunned, but then they erupted in cheers! It was the joy of seeing the mountain that had been pressing down on their hearts shattered.
Arlong and Mouse, although weak, were completely cannon fodder in the Grand Line, but their strength was actually quite formidable in the East Blue! Facing these two "powerful" individuals, these civilians had been helpless, with nowhere to turn.
But Ryuya's arrival had saved them from their dire situation.
Genzo came to Ryuya and, on behalf of the villagers, thanked him, "Thank you, we are so grateful to you, sir. If it weren't for you, we wouldn't dare imagine what our lives would be like."
"You should thank them, not me."
With that, Ryuya pushed Nami and Nojiko out from behind him.
Genzo naturally knew what Ryuya meant. They, some adults, didn't even have the courage of these two children. If they hadn't stood up and told White Dove-sama about these things, they would probably still be suffering here.
Nami crossed her arms, her pretty face filled with pride.
At this moment, Kalifa returned to Cocoyasi Village, carrying a lot of berries.
"Villagers, this is the bribery evidence and berries I found in Mouse's office. If you were forced to pay any berries, you can take them from me."
While Kalifa was distributing berries to the villagers,
Ryuya was dragged to the small courtyard behind the house by Nami and Nojiko.
The courtyard was full of orange trees.
They heard the system's electronic voice echoing in Ryuya's mind.
[Ding! Congratulations, host, for checking in at the orange grove. You have obtained: Encyclopedia of Navigation.]
Seeing this reward from the system, Ryuya glanced at Nami beside him.
This kind of reward was useless to him, but it was priceless for this girl who yearned for the sea!
Nami and Nojiko picked some plump oranges for Ryuya, put them in a woven basket, and handed them to him.
"Ryuya, this is a small token of our appreciation. Don't dislike it."
Nami winked at Ryuya.
Nojiko pulled Nami aside, then said to Ryuya, "Ryuya-sama, we don't have anything good to give you, only these oranges grown with all our heart. Please accept them, don't dislike them!"
Hearing Nami and Nojiko's words, Ryuya immediately said, "How could I dislike them? I'd love to have them!"
With that, Ryuya, as if by magic, pulled out a navigation encyclopedia from under his cloak and handed it to the Nami sisters.
"I didn't bring anything good with me on this trip, only this. I hope you like it."
Nami's eyes lit up when she saw the nautical charts in the book.
"Of course I like it."
"I'm glad you like it. It's getting late, so we're going to leave now."
Ryuya looked at Nami, who was a little reluctant, and said softly, "Nami, Nojiko, remember what I said. If you want to live freely on this sea, you have to work hard to make yourselves stronger!"
After leaving the orange grove, Kalifa also resolved the issue of the Cocoyasi Village villagers.
After they reunited, they drove the warship away from Cocoyasi Village.
Nami and Nojiko, at this moment, stood at the port, watching Ryuya and Kalifa sail away.
Nami clutched the navigation book in her hand and vowed to herself: I will become Ryuya's dedicated navigator!
"A New Mission"
On the sea, Ryuya and Kalifa were basking in the sun on the deck.
Seeing a newspaper bird flying in the sky, Kalifa took out a hundred berries and bought a newspaper.
"Ryuya, you're in this issue of the newspaper again."
"Oh, what's it about this time?"
"What else could it be? It's just about how brilliant and powerful you are, Ryuya~"
Kalifa said, looking at Ryuya, and gave him a wink.
But Ryuya didn't pay any attention to Kalifa. He closed his eyes and enjoyed the bright sunshine.
Just then, his Admiral's Den Den Mushi rang.
The illusion flickered, and the next second, the Den Den Mushi was in Ryuya's hand.
As soon as he picked up the Den Den Mushi, he could hear a chaotic voice coming from it.
"This is the sea near Syrup Village. G-53 Branch Navy Fleet, requesting support!"
"This is Kuru of a Hundred Plans, slaughtering the Navy. Anyone with fighting ability, please come and support us!"
Hearing the voice on the Den Den Mushi, Ryuya instantly remembered.
Kuru of a Hundred Plans, who created the "Black Cat Pirates" in the original story!
From a certain perspective, Kuru of a Hundred Plans was indeed very talented, but he preferred a comfortable life.
"Kalifa, let's go support them!"
"A New Threat"
On the other side, near the sea off Syrup Village.
Kuru of a Hundred Plans looked at the bodies scattered around him, a sinister smile on his lips.
He said to Jango beside him, "Jango, is the hypnosis over yet?"
"Morgan's willpower is a bit unexpected. It'll probably take another five minutes. I need to give him a deep hypnosis!"
"Hurry up, I think the Navy's reinforcements are about to arrive!"
With that, Kuru of a Hundred Plans used the Ten-Blade Cat Claw in his hand to stab the Navy soldier who was trying to ambush him...
