Chapter 15 - Chapter 15: Nami & Nojiko

"Instead of hurting yourself with a knife, prove yourself with a gun."

His Majesty Jack grabbed Nami's right hand, which held the knife, took the blood-stained dagger, and casually threw it to the ground.

As Nami stared stubbornly, a golden flintlock pistol suddenly appeared in her hand.

"Come, I'll teach you how to kill a Fishman."

His Majesty Jack put his arm around Nami, and with his right hand, gripped Nami's gun-holding right hand.

"Raise your hand, pull the trigger…"

His Majesty Jack guided Nami's finger, and she fired directly.

With a 'bang' of the gun, a Fishman suddenly appeared, then fell to the ground.

Under the immense power of the golden flintlock pistol, the Fishman's charging body, the impact of its head exploding, and its charging inertia combined, causing it to fall in a bizarre posture.

Blood slowly flowed across the ground.

Nami, whose mind was already somewhat confused and on the verge of collapse, was so frightened by her own 'feat' of killing that she froze in His Majesty Jack's arms, not daring to move.

She killed someone?

She personally killed a Fishman!

"You see, instead of tormenting yourself with mental exhaustion, it's better to go crazy and kill the enemy," His Majesty Jack said calmly, looking at the now quiet Nami.

Then, he again held Nami's hand and adjusted their aim in a different direction.

"No~"

'Bang!'

With a cry of alarm from Nami, the golden flintlock pistol fired again.

Another Fishman appeared and immediately fell, splattering blood everywhere.

"Double Kill!!"

"Congratulations, you've achieved a double kill!"

Ignoring Nami's drastic emotional change, His Majesty Jack smiled and congratulated her.

At this moment, Nami had indeed forgotten to cry, and even forgotten the pain in her left arm…

She kept repeating to herself that she had killed two Fishmen.

"You said the Fishmen killed your mother."

"Now, here's a chance for you to take revenge."

His Majesty Jack released the dazed Nami, reloaded the pistol, and walked towards Nojiko, who was also in a state of shock.

By the time Nojiko reacted, she was already embraced by His Majesty Jack, in the same posture as Nami had been just moments before.

Nojiko's hand felt the weighty presence of the golden flintlock pistol.

"His Majesty Jack, I…" Nojiko stammered nervously, enjoying the warm embrace and breath behind her.

Like Nami, she had inherited Bellmère's qualities, and her heart was very kind.

They simply didn't dare to kill anyone.

"Bang!"

But with the gunshot, the trembling Nojiko gradually calmed down.

As she saw, another Fishman appeared and fell to the ground.

She, too, had personally fired and killed a Fishman.

Even though His Majesty Jack had held her hand when she fired.

"Alright, now you have proven yourselves, and from now on, you are my citizens."

His Majesty Jack, in this manner, had the two sisters, Nojiko and Nami, erase the traces of the Arlong Pirates.

Nojiko, having come to her senses, looked gratefully at His Majesty Jack.

However, after leaving His Majesty Jack's embrace, she felt a sense of loss.

When she remembered that His Majesty Jack was a noble King, high above her, even the resilient and passionate Nojiko couldn't help but humbly suppress her inner feelings.

At this moment, the Goa Kingdom's fleet finally arrived at the territory of the 'Arlong Empire'.

Large numbers of Royal Guard rushed ashore to protect their great King.

Van Augur and Eric, along with other mercenaries and Bounty Hunters, eagerly showed off, afraid of being labeled negatively by His Majesty Jack.

'88 Fishmen, all banished, with an ability range of at least 200 meters…'

Van Augur looked at the dozen or so Fishman corpses on the ground; the remaining Fishmen had mostly been banished by His Majesty Jack.

Thinking of the 'Five Hundred Man Slayer' legend circulating in the Goa Kingdom, Van Augur knew that His Majesty Jack could banish at least 500 people simultaneously, and the range could reach 500 to 1000 meters.

Based on His Majesty Jack's recent action of using cannonballs to take off, his ability range should not exceed 1500 meters.

The thought of His Majesty Jack being able to banish people from a thousand meters away sent a chill down Van Augur's spine.

This Devil Fruit ability was simply too absurd.

Eric, seeing the vanished Fishmen and those shot dead by His Majesty Jack, was filled with apprehension.

This ability was too bizarre!

He had no idea how to resist it.

The only way was to stay far away from His Majesty Jack.

This further solidified Eric's decision to stay away from the Goa Kingdom and His Majesty Jack after this mercenary mission.

His Majesty Jack's current ability range was indeed around a thousand meters.

It should be noted that Trafalgar D. Water Law's Op-Op Fruit also covered a very wide range.

He could not only lift and throw a warship over a hundred meters long, but the range of his ROOM was several times the length of a warship.

Later, he remotely swapped the hearts of the Straw Hat Pirates members and forcibly took Smoker's heart from a distance.

He even covered the entire Punk Hazard research facility, cutting Vergo, the research facility, and the snow mountain all in half with a single slash.

The sheer size of his range was terrifying.

At Ghost Island, he could even quickly transfer people like Zoro, Luffy, and Kidd from within the castle, and send the Akazaya Nine, who had been crippled by Kaido of the Beasts, out of Ghost Island.

In the future, His Majesty Jack's [Domain of Time] will not be smaller than Law's ROOM space.

It's not an exaggeration to say it could cover an entire island, reaching a radius of ten kilometers without a problem.

"Your Majesty, where are the enemies? What do you need us to do next?" Van Augur humbly stood before His Majesty Jack, bowing his head and awaiting orders.

"Your Majesty, release those Fishmen and let us finish them off." Eric actively tried to curry favor with His Majesty Jack, hoping to complete this mercenary mission safely and quickly depart.

His Majesty Jack did not respond to the two of them, tucking the golden flintlock pistol back into his waist, and with a gentle wave of his left hand, a gesture similar to Axe Gang's Brother Chen's signature move, a Royal Guard captain, very understandingly, handed him a magnificent golden cannon.

"Arlong's Fishman den actually dares to call itself the Arlong Empire. I am very displeased. What do you say we do?" His Majesty Jack said slowly as he hoisted the golden cannon onto his shoulder.

"Of course, we kill him." As His Majesty Jack opened the golden cannon's sight and aimed towards the sea, Eric and Van Augur immediately blurted out their answers.

At the same time, Van Augur decisively raised his sniper rifle, 'Senroku,' aiming at the spot where Arlong had previously disappeared, ready to fire as soon as His Majesty Jack made his move.

Eric also gathered all his strength, conjuring Wind Blades with both hands, also aiming in the direction His Majesty Jack and Van Augur were targeting.

"Three, two, one, fire!" His Majesty Jack directly pulled the trigger of the golden cannon, and Van Augur followed His Majesty Jack's shot with precise accuracy.

Eric could only unleash more Wind Blades with all his might, providing additional damage for His Majesty Jack and Van Augur.

"Boom!"

"Bang!" x3

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh~"

Arlong, who had just reappeared on the sea surface, was directly hit by the golden cannon. This Celestial Dragons' special cannonball, powerful enough to blow up a small sailboat, directly blew Arlong into a bloody mess.

The three subsequent sniper bullets also pierced into Arlong's body.

The subsequent dense Wind Blades carved out streaks of blood and waves from Arlong and the sea surface.

Nami and Nojiko stared dumbfounded at the bizarre scene unfolding on the sea.

"Retrieve that Fishman!" His Majesty Jack casually tossed the golden cannon to the Royal Guard captain next to him and then gave orders to the other Royal Guard.

Before long, a lifeless, mangled Fishman was pulled out of the water.

Indeed, in this world, the power of firearms is a Schrödinger's firepower.

When it's your time to go offline, even a single flintlock pistol can kill a top master.

Haki masters like Ashura Doji and Pedro were killed by explosives.

Kuina, who was even stronger than Zoro, was even taken out by stairs and a whetstone.
