Author: I'm not neft MC… It's just that I think Arlong is pretty strong compared to the pirates in East Blue.

"Please… If you free us from Arlong, I will join you." Nojiko said in the hope that Gun and the rest of his party would help her, however, Gun just looked down at her with a blank face any emotion.
"What will I get if I let you join me? Your fighting ability? Well, you're not worth it for me to accept this." Gun answered in a simple way that made Nojiko dumbfounded because it was the truth. She doesn't have the fighting ability for him to accept her to join his crew.
"Ah um… You want to recruit Nami because she has a talent for reading maps right? "
" Yes ."
"…Even though I'm not as good as Nami, I can also read maps quite well… With training, I'm confident that I can become a navigator… Besides, my cooking is very good…" Nojiko said nervously.
" Are you sure ? Even though you say that, your eyes tell me you're not ready for this. That makes me have no interest in letting you join us." Gun replied while looking directly into Nojiko's eyes. It is clear that she is not really determined in this matter. Gun understood that the girl was still afraid of joining a suspicious group.
Nojiko closed her eyes and took a deep breath. She knows that this is her only chance to rescue everyone she loves. She opened her eyes and looked at Gun with the most determined eyes she could. Seeing Nojiko's change made Gun let out an amused smile.
"I've made my decision, just rescue everyone from Arlong and I'll be part of your crew. I will definitely be of use to you." Nojiko said in a determined voice.
"You seem very confident…" Gun said to Nojiko before turning his head to look in the direction of the others. " Let's go ."
Hearing what Gun said made Nojiko just look at the ground with sad eyes. Now, her only hope of freeing the people in the village asking Arlong was gone.
Gun then walked past Nojiko a few steps before stopping and giving her an annoyed look.
"What are you still standing there for? Quickly lead us to meet Arlong."
"Ah." Nojiko was startled to hear Gun's complaints, she widened her eyes at him before excitedly leading the way.
" Follow me ."
*****
in Arlong Park. Arlong was frowning angrily upon hearing the report from his subordinates. He is extremely angry when he hears that an unknown group of humans has killed a member of his crew.
Arlong is an extreme human hater. He despises them and considers his fishman race superior to humans. Not only that, Arlong is extremely concerned about his subordinates. It was these things that made Arlong's anger greater than ever. Right now, he wanted to capture the person who killed his subordinate and use his blood to help his subordinate rest in peace.
Just as Arlong stood up and prepared to act, explosions along with screams caught his attention. He frowned as he watched the thick dust from the main gate of Arlong Park. This means that his crew is being attacked by someone.
*****
At the main gate of Arlong Park. Gun along with Akaza and Rize went inside. The current situation in Arlong Park is described as a truly hectic scene. Debris and rubble were scattered all over the place and the whole place became chaotic.
A large sea monster resembling a dairy cow was lying motionless on the ground after receiving a punch from Akaza. Several fishman can be seen standing near the destroyed entrance, wielding a variety of weapons ranging from swords to kitchen knives.
"These guys taste pretty good… Now maybe I understand what sasimi tastes like~." Rize said while munching on some bad fishman's meat.
At this time, a fishman with a sword rushed to Gun's position but he was quickly punched by Akaza and died instantly.
"Too weak." Akaza muttered in frustration.
At the same time, Gun leaned over to dodge another fishman's slash before delivering a punch straight to his stomach.
"Gun-sama, just let us deal with these fish. You don't need to get your hands dirty." Rize said as her kagune pierced the stomach of a fishman holding a spear.
"Although I would like to try to fight the pirates that are said to be the strongest in the East Blue, I will take care of these small fish for you." Akaza said as he once again knocked the enemy away. He knew that his master was testing his strength. All the pirates that Gun had killed were basically too weak for he to judge his own strength.
Gun doesn't say but just entered the center of Arlong Park. He wanted to test his strength now. By this time, many villagers had gathered in Arlong Park after hearing loud explosions.
Gun's gaze swept over the fishman in front of him until his gaze stopped when he caught sight of the man sitting leisurely on the throne.
[Mission Update : Defeat Arlong
Objective: Kill Arlong.
Reward : 10000 experience , 5000 points , 20 Gacha tickets ]
Gun immediately showed a smile when he saw his target. That smile clearly has only one meaning, and everyone clearly understands the meaning behind it. An unknown person suddenly appeared provoking the strongest pirate of East Blue, Arlong!
Gun was about to approach Arlong when one of Arlong's officers blocked his way. Although Gun felt familiar seeing this fishman, he couldn't remember his name.
This fishman is none other than Kuroobi, who fought Sanji in Canon.
He has the typical appearance of a boxer with a dark blue martial arts uniform and a black belt. His hair is tied into a straight ponytail. His Sun Pirates tattoo is on the right side of his chest.
"The lowly human dares to bother us, die ." Kuroobi took a stance and punched Gun right in the face.
However, Gun easily caught his fist before squeezing it tightly causing Kuroobi to kneel in pain. While Gun's left hand holds onto his opponent, his right hand rises and swings it towards the neck of the fishman. Gun's hand was like an ax, cutting hard into the center of Kuroobi's head. His attack was so powerful that it shattered the fishman's skull and instantly killed him.
[You have gained 1500 experience.]
'1500 experience for this weakling?.'
Gun continued walking towards Arlong while ignoring Kuroobi's lifeless corpse. At this point, the villagers became confused when they saw that Gun had just killed one of Arlong's officers, which they believed would never happen.
The chair that Arlong was sitting on shattered to pieces under Arlong's monstrous grip and he stood up. His face, engulfed in anger, twisted violently and then he began to laugh maniacally.
"Sasasasa! A pathetic human dares to wage war on me?" Arlong sneered.
"Do you think you have a chance against me just because you beat one of my officers? Come to me with your best shot and I'll crush it right in front of you!"
The villagers, who had found a glimmer of hope at the arrival of the mysterious young man, fell into despair once again. The unparalleled confidence that Arlong displayed made them think that Arlong was unparalleled.
But Gun had other thoughts. 'Don't complain to me later...'
If the opponent made such a generous offer, Gun would never refuse. Not giving the opponent time to retract their words, Gun immediately used soru to appear in front of Arlong. At the same time he threw a punch to Arlong's face.
Arlong wanted to laugh when he saw Gun's fist. How dare a small human do that to he ? He planned to attack directly and disrupt it. Arlong opened his mouth to reveal razor-sharp teeth. He will crush his oral attack, to show the difference between high and low race!
Arlong bit down hard with his precious teeth. Everyone present expected Gun's hand to be bitten by Arlong's destructive power, but the result was completely beyond their expectations.
All pirates and humans . They gasped at the sight before them.
Gun's arm looked completely normal even after being bitten by Arlong. Only thing is that his arm is currently covered with something black.
Blood gushed from Arlong's mouth and his teeth capable of biting through a stone pillar were broken. Arlong's vision became blurred and his body stiffened with pain and shock.
The impact of Gun's fist sent Arlong crashing through the wall. When the dust settled, one could see Arlong standing unsteadily, teeth broken and red blood pouring from his mouth.
"Hahaha, the so-called superior race also bleeds the same color as the inferior race. Interesting." Gun scoffed with a chuckle.however, Gun couldn't help but admit that Arlong was quite strong. At least compared to him at the moment.
Even with a powerful system, Gun is still human for now. In terms of physical strength, he is weaker than Arlong. And what gives Gun confidence in his victory is Haki, something that almost no pirate in East Blue knows about. Haki is extremely important and powerful in the New World and for a peaceful sea like the East Blue, Haki is invincible.
Arlong's eyes widened in fear as he recalled the experience. Gun's arm was unusually hard. He felt like he had just bitten into some extremely hard metal. That made Arlong recall some of his memories from being a member of the Sun Pirates.
He had encountered this power a few times before. All those encounters yielded the same result… His teeth were crushed. That's why Arlong knew a little about this terrifying power. There is no doubt… This is Haki.
"Impossible… What is a Haki user doing in East Blue?" Arlong muttered with fear. He knew that only the strong could possess this kind of power.
However, Arlong quickly shocked his spirit while muttering repeatedly.
"He's just a weak man. Even if he possessed Haki, he would still be human. A weak race ." Despite repeatedly saying that Gun was just a weak human, Arlong no longer showed any pride anymore. He understood that this would probably be one of the hardest battles of his pirate career. Just reveal a mistake and he will surely die at Gun's hand.
Arlong staggered to his feet, then he adjusted his stance. He understood that as long as he defeated the man in front of him, his ambition to dominate the East Sea would certainly not be far away.
Arlong opened his mouth and revealed that Arlong's half-broken teeth began to fall out one by one and in their place a new set of razor-sharp teeth sprouted in an instant.
"Human, I will show you the difference between us."
