Chapter 346

Lu Shu slowly raised his hand, where a blue-white interwoven sphere of lightning coalesced in his palm, crackling continuously with spitting electric arcs.

"I've dreamed of nothing else."

Nami gritted her teeth.

In those first few years, with assassinations, poisonings, traps, and more, she didn't know how many times she had attempted to kill Arlong.

"It will hurt."

"I'm not afraid!"

Crack!

"Aaaah――!!"

The next instant, Nami was swallowed by the sphere of lightning.

……

Arlong Park.

The arrogant and domineering fish-men did not realize that doom was approaching.

The group of fish-men underlings raised their wine glasses, laughing uproariously.

"Nami must be crying, right?"

"Boo-hoo-hoo~"

"Haha, just imagining it is amusing."

"Don't say that; she is our comrade, our underling, wah-kah-kah-kah-kah~"

【Crack!!】

Amidst the laughter, a sudden flash of lightning and clap of thunder rang out.

Accompanied by a booming rumble, the sky suddenly grew overcast with dark clouds, becoming oppressive in an instant.

The pressure made all the fish-men feel a sense of impending doom in their hearts.

However, before they could react, a white pillar of lightning descended from between the dark clouds.

Shaped like a tree fork, it struck down across the entire park.

The fish-men in the water couldn't dodge in time and were instantly electrocuted into a fragrant pot of fish soup.

"!!!"

Arlong's scales instantly stood on end with sweat.

His whole body also 'whooshed' up from the lounge chair.

He looked vigilantly toward the sky.

"This..."

"A Devil Fruit?"

"With lightning like this, could it be the legendary... Logia Rumble-Rumble Fruit?"

"Wait, that person is..."

"Impossible!"

How could it possibly be Nami!

All the fish-men suddenly felt their souls flee in terror.

Slowly descending from mid-air, looking at the building right before her eyes, the fire of rage in Nami's heart burned even fiercer.

It was because of Arlong that Bellemere died.

It was because of this base that Cocoyasi Village gained dozens of new graves.

"Nami, you're col—"

Before the sawshark fish-man Kuroobi could finish speaking, a lightning snake pierced through his chest with lightning speed.

A hole the size of a washbasin appeared, without a single drop of blood.

Ultra-high temperature instantly scorched the wound shut.

Kuroobi widened his eyes and collapsed to the ground with a 'boom'.

"Today, no one shall leave alive!"

Crack!

Crack!

Bolts of lightning as thick as washbasins struck down one after another.

The surviving underlings panicked and scattered in all directions, but alas, they couldn't escape at all.

One by one, they were electrocuted into charred coal.

Some were even directly blasted into fine powder!

"How is this possible?"

"This is impossible!"

"How could you possibly obtain the Rumble-Rumble Fruit?"

Terror crawled over Arlong's entire face,

and without a second thought, he turned and fled wildly.

He even knew to run in a zigzag pattern.

"Killing you with one strike would be too good for you."

"I want you to die in fear."

"I will settle this blood debt on behalf of Bellemere and everyone who died!"

The moment the words left his mouth, bolts of lightning split down from his hand.

They were tiny.

Only as thick as an arm, meant merely to frighten and torment Ah Long.

Boom—rumble—!

Ah Long fled in a frenzy!

He was afraid!

For the first time, he felt fear.

He had to escape.

Escape back to the sea!

If he could leap into the ocean, with his shark-like acceleration, he would surely get away.

Although water conducts electricity, it cannot do so endlessly.

As long as he moved faster than the range of conduction, he could...

The seawater was right before his eyes.

Just as he leaped high, preparing to plunge headfirst into the water—

Crack!

Lightning snakes, branching like tree limbs, engulfed him... five.

I!

The great Ah Long... died just like this? I... I cannot accept it!!

Looking at his mottled body, riddled with holes burned by lightning snakes, Ah Long collapsed by the riverside, unwilling to accept his fate.

At the end of the road, villagers approached, one by one, wielding wooden clubs, hoes, sickles, and steel forks.

They were precisely the villagers of Cocoyasi Village, rushing over under Genzo's leadership.

Although earlier, seeing Nami wreathed in lightning,

they had felt they could not help,

yet, at this moment, they had to stand together.

However, when the crowd of villagers saw Arlong Park, scorched by lightning, they were instantly stunned into silence.

How could this still be that majestic and domineering Fish-Man Hall?

It was completely ruined!

Struck by lightning, it had been reduced to a field of rubble.

Where the Lei Zhu had struck the ground, a colossal crater now covered the entire hall.
