Chapter 474

However, the scene that followed shocked everyone present.

Luffy was seen walking out slowly alone. His companions behind him wanted to call for him to stop and not be so impulsive, but Luffy ignored them entirely and walked straight toward Hody.

Upon seeing Luffy's appearance, Hody was overjoyed: "Haha! Human, I admire your courage, so come and meet your death!"

Seeing Luffy, the army of one hundred thousand fish-men raised their weapons and slashed at him.

"This is a major criminal with a bounty of four hundred million silver!"

"Kill him and claim the bounty!"

"Brothers! Our massive fortune has arrived, cut off Luffy's head!"

The fish-man soldiers roared one after another.

However, when the fish-man soldiers' blades landed on Luffy.

Luffy's Nine Provinces Dragon Qi was instantly activated!

In an instant, these one hundred thousand small fries felt a powerful pressure, and under this pressure, half of them were directly scared into unconsciousness.

"Wha... what happened? This guy clearly didn't do anything!"

Hody was also dumbfounded.

Luffy did not stop his attack, but continued to walk forward: "Didn't you just clamor to cut off my head? Come on!"

"Bastards, what are you doing! Hurry up and attack for me!"

Hody cursed loudly.

But this group of soldiers seemed to be intimidated by Luffy's aura, completely at a loss for how to act.

【Is this the result of Luffy's two years of cultivation? He knocked out fifty thousand people with a single glare? My god!】

【Finally, I can see the protagonist's halo on the protagonist!】

【What glare, that's called Nine Provinces Dragon Qi, the most domineering power within internal energy, which can crush enemies and even kill them with ease!】

【Is it that awesome? Is the Nine Provinces Dragon Qi really that powerful?】

【Of course, didn't the previous setting say so? Nine Provinces Dragon Qi is the standard equipment for becoming a top-tier figure! A one-in-ten-thousand existence!】

Seeing that his subordinates were of no use at all, Hody's eyes turned red with anxiety: "What are you all standing there like idiots for? Hurry up and attack!"

However, his subordinates still looked completely bewildered; they all felt as if they had been petrified and could not move at all.

Seeing such a domineering side of their hall master, the others from the Straw Hat Hall revealed gratified smiles.

"Can two years of tempering really hone the Nine Provinces Dragon Qi to this extent?"

"Hahaha! Nine Provinces Dragon Qi, this guy really has the qualifications to become the Martial Arts Alliance Leader!"

"Tch! If he couldn't even do this, the hall master would probably have to be replaced!"

Zoro said with a smile.

Clearly, Zoro still retained certain methods and could also do the same thing as Luffy.

"Hody, is it? I will definitely beat you flying. I have no opinion on what you want to be, but the Martial Arts Alliance Leader can only be me!"

Hody looked at Luffy, and although he was panicked inside, he feigned calmness on the surface.

"Hmph! Arrogant, just you, a human?"

"Hehe, then let's try and see!" Luffy said with a smile.

Just as Luffy took a step forward, the remaining fifty thousand fish-man soldiers took a step back in unison.

"No! This is not an opponent we can contend with!"

"Too strong, too strong!"

"What should we do? Let's retreat!"

Several fish-man soldiers looked at each other and decided to flee.

Jones looked at these fleeing fish-man soldiers and killed them directly.

"Run? Can you run away? Today is our fish-man revolution day, if anyone dares to flee again, I will slaughter them!" Jones shouted.

Hearing Jones's threat, the fish-man soldiers who had wanted to run immediately stopped in their tracks.

"Since you are willing to stay and help us, we will definitely not treat you poorly. Rest assured, as long as we win today, I will reward everyone with three thousand gold!"

Hody shouted loudly.

Hearing this, all the fish-men were extremely excited.

Three thousand gold! That was enough for them to live for several lifetimes.

Heavy rewards make brave men; the fish-man soldiers, whose morale had been low, ignited their fighting spirit one by one.

"Well done! Fish-men!"

"For money, for honor and dignity, for dreams! Let's kill!"

Following Hody's command, the shouts of the fish-man soldiers rang out across the entire beach.

On the other side, Zoro tied his bandana around his head.

"Luffy, you went a bit too far! You only left us fifty thousand, that's not even enough for me to cut alone," Zoro complained.

Luffy smiled slightly: "Sorry, I forgot! Let's have a big scene next!"

Saying this, Luffy activated the third level of the Ultra Instinct.

Luffy's right arm began to expand continuously, finally turning into a thick, giant arm.

"What is this?"

"How did his arm grow like a giant's? With this punch, he could probably punch through a house!"

"No wonder he's so confident! He actually has such strength!"

"Damn, my legs are weak, I'm going to wet my pants! How the hell are we supposed to fight this!"

Seeing Luffy's giant-like arm, the fish-man soldiers were all terrified.

"Giant Punch!" Luffy shouted.

He swung his thick arm and smashed it fiercely toward the densest group of fish-man soldiers.

Boom!

A single punch took out thousands of soldiers; this kind of combat power made everyone gasp.

Sanji looked at Luffy, who was causing a scene, and lit another cigarette for himself.

"A paradise like the Dragon Palace must never be destroyed by you guys!"

Sanji took a deep drag of his cigarette and then rushed into the midst of the fish-man soldiers.

Dazzling leg techniques flashed continuously.

"Ah! Help!"

"Ahhh!"

"Stop kicking, stop it!"

Tragic screams filled the entire square!

Seeing this scene, Hody was practically going crazy; damn it, what's the point of playing anymore!

Zoro also drew all three swords and shouted: "One Hundred and Eight Pound Phoenix!"

Three sword auras intertwined, forming a rainstorm-like wind blade, instantly sweeping through the surrounding fish-man soldiers.

Bang, bang, bang! Thousands more fish-man soldiers fell in response.

At this time, Chopper, Robin, Brook, and others also joined the fray.

They worked together, and their efficiency was very high!

"Damn it! These guys from the Straw Hat Hall!" Hody gritted his teeth, staring at the Straw Hat Hall members who were slaughtering his fish-man soldiers.

The fish-man soldiers Hody brought this time were all elite-level combatants.

Yet, in this short moment, they had suffered so many losses, which made Hody's heart ache to death.

Suddenly, Hody looked at Princess Shirahoshi on the battlefield and a plan came to mind.

If he took action and killed Princess Shirahoshi, the people from the Straw Hat Hall would probably have no desire to fight anymore!

"Princess Shirahoshi, today I will send you to the Western Heaven first!"

Hody picked up the scimitar from the ground and prepared to sneak attack Princess Shirahoshi.

But just as Hody was about to charge, a figure blocked his path.

"Hody! With this old man here, don't even think about hurting Shirahoshi!" Shen Ping stood in front of Hody, blocking his attack.

Hody frowned as he looked at Shen Ping, who was blocking his way.
