Inside the house, Nojiko and Genzo were already stunned.
"So strong!"
"That monster Arlong didn't even have a chance to fight back."
"Is that straw-hatted kid also a monster?"
"His arm can stretch like rubber!"
Watching the shocked expressions of Nojiko and Genzo, Ryujiro didn't feel the slightest bit surprised.
"That's the power of the Devil Fruit."
"Luffy is a Devil Fruit user, having eaten the Gum-Gum Fruit, turning him into a rubber man."
"Devil Fruit?!"
"The legendary treasure of the sea?"
Genzo had heard of Devil Fruit users in his younger days while traveling.
After all, the current three Admirals were also Devil Fruit users, a testament to the terrifying power that Devil Fruit users possess.
"Yes," Ryujiro nodded slightly.
Even though it had only been a few days of training, Zoro and Luffy had been sparring with Ryujiro.
Despite being beaten every time, the effectiveness of their training was remarkable.
Of course, the reason Arlong was getting beaten so badly now was because he underestimated Luffy's strength.
If Arlong had been more serious from the start, he wouldn't have been in such a dire situation.
At this moment, a rare flutter of hope emerged in Nami's long-suppressed heart.
Could they really succeed?
Looking at Luffy wearing the straw hat, it was as if she saw a beacon of light on a dark road, the only hope.
"Arlong!"
"Damn humans!"
Hachi and Kuroobi's fury was ignited. Just as they were about to rush to Arlong's aid, Zoro and Sanji blocked their way.
"We can't let you interfere with our captain."
"Lowly humans, you're asking for death!"
Hachi and Kuroobi were furious, engaging in a fierce battle with Zoro and Sanji.
However, the more they fought, the more alarmed they became.
The overwhelming strength they usually held over humans was not even an advantage against Zoro and Sanji, and they were gradually being suppressed.
"The officers are being overwhelmed!"
"Arlong!"
"Hachi!"
"Damn humans!"
A group of fish-man grunts swarmed forward to assist Arlong, but at that moment, a series of black gunpowder stars flew toward them.
"Kayaku Boshi!"
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Blinding fire instantly ignited, and the charging fish-men were engulfed in the scorching flames, turning them into roasted fish.
"So hot, so hot, so hot!!!!"
"Aye aye aye aye yo!"
Usopp proudly stroked his long nose. "As long as the great Captain Usopp is here, I won't let you harm my comrades."
In truth, his heart was racing: "Thank goodness I hit them; these fish-men are terrifying!"
Clang! Clang!
Arlong, who was buried under the rubble, finally crawled out, sending rocks flying in all directions.
"Damn! Lowly humans! I'll kill you!"
Arlong roared, mustering all his strength as he charged fiercely at Luffy.
His overwhelming killing intent signified his resolve; he was determined to tear Luffy to pieces to intimidate these damned humans.
At the same time, inside the house, Ryujiro's calm expression gradually changed due to a voice.
"Character template successfully loaded. Please check, Host."
Has it finally finished loading?
Ryujiro's face lit up with joy. Since arriving in the One Piece world, the system's character template had been in a loading state, and now it was finally complete.
What character would it be this time?
Ryujiro felt a bit of anticipation.
Entering his mental space, Ryujiro was momentarily stunned by the figure in front of him.
"So it's him."
A figure over 1.9 meters tall, dressed in a black uniform, wearing a black blindfold, with pure white hair standing upright, and a wicked smile curling at the corner of his mouth.
...
"Gojo Satoru."
Ryujiro's lips curled into a slight smile.
The invincible character from Jujutsu Kaisen, Gojo Satoru, was the powerhouse of that world, with cursed techniques that could even interfere with matter at the atomic level and manipulate space.
"What a pleasant surprise."
Hinata, who was beside him, noticed Ryujiro's change and asked, "Ryujiro-kun, is something wrong?"
Ryujiro, brought back to reality by Hinata's voice, smiled and replied, "It's nothing, I just thought of something that made me happy."
This response only confused Hinata further.
"Let's go outside and take a look. We should see these so-called fish-men."
"They are unique creatures in this world."
Nojiko, seeing that Ryujiro and Hinata were about to go outside, quickly called out, "You're going outside?"
"The battle out there is intense right now. If you get caught up in it, you won't be able to escape."
A confident smile appeared on Ryujiro's lips. "Don't worry, I'm invincible."
"Invincible?"
Nojiko's heart trembled, and she stared in a daze at Ryujiro's back.
Is he really invincible?
Just how much does this man trust in his own strength?
At this moment, outside, Hachi and Kuroobi had both been defeated by Zoro and Sanji.
The two fish-men lay in pools of blood, covered in wounds and unconscious, their fates unknown.
Arlong staggered to his feet, his eyes bloodshot as he stared at the unconscious Kuroobi and Hachi lying in their own blood.
"Hachi!"
"Kuroobi!"
These were the brothers who had fought by his side since they left Fish-Man Island together.
"Ahhhh!"
"Damn it! Damn it all!"
"If we were in the sea, you wouldn't stand a chance against me!"
The difference in strength between fish-men on land and in the sea was like night and day. Only the ocean was a fish-man's true domain.
A mere Devil Fruit user, nothing more than a piece of trash abandoned by the sea; if he were in the ocean, he wouldn't be in such a pitiful state.
Arlong's gaze shifted to Nami, and suddenly, an idea flashed through his mind.
"Swish—"
Arlong's speed was lightning-fast. Luffy, thinking Arlong was coming to attack him, readied himself to dodge.
However, Arlong's target wasn't Luffy; it was Nami.
His hand revealed a set of razor-sharp teeth, similar to his own, as he coldly threatened, "Kid, don't move, or I'll slit Nami's throat."
"You bastard! Isn't Nami your comrade?"
"Hahahahahaha!"
Arlong laughed wildly, "Comrade?"
"Don't be ridiculous! You lowly humans don't even qualify to be comrades with fish-men!"
"Nami is nothing but a tool to serve me."
A cruel smile appeared on Arlong's face, and at this moment, Nami's face turned pale, her legs trembling, eyes filled with fear.
"You despicable creature!"
Luffy gritted his teeth, glaring furiously at Arlong.
Just then, even Arlong himself didn't realize that a figure had suddenly appeared beside him as if out of thin air.
Suddenly, Nami felt her entire body lift off the ground, and she was sent flying backward, landing in Luffy's arms.
Ryujiro looked at the furious Arlong in front of him and smiled playfully. "So this is a fish-man?"
"Interesting."
Arlong watched in disbelief as Nami was sent flying into Luffy's arms, his rage boiling over. "What the hell did you do?!"
Boom—!
At that moment, an immense pressure descended upon Arlong.
He, who had been about to make a move, suddenly froze, his fierce gaze turning into one of sheer terror.
His body trembled uncontrollably, the fear piercing through to his soul as if making a move would mean the annihilation of his very being.
Nami's eyes widened in disbelief as she stared at Arlong.
Having spent years by his side, this was the first time she had ever seen Arlong show such a terrified expression.
So even a monster like Arlong can feel fear?

Paralyzed...
Why can't I move?
"Indeed, a half-human, half-fish creature."
Ryujiro examined Arlong with great interest.
Hearing the term "half-human, half-fish," Arlong was infuriated, but despite his anger, he couldn't move a muscle.
What did Ryujiro do? Why couldn't Arlong move?
The onlookers were all puzzled by the scene. Why had the fearsome Arlong suddenly become immobilized?
"Hey! Ryujiro!"
"That guy is mine to beat up."
Luffy shouted, visibly displeased.
However, just at that moment, Luffy found that he wanted to speak but couldn't utter a word. His eyes widened in panic.
Ryujiro's voice rang out slowly.
"Luffy, just stay there quietly and watch. I'm quite interested in these fishmen."
Suddenly, a faint green Chakra blade appeared at Ryujiro's fingertips.
As the blade slowly approached Arlong's chest, slicing open a wound, the onlookers turned their heads away, unable to bear the sight.
Arlong, filled with terror, could only watch helplessly as Ryujiro dissected him.
Although a deep cut appeared on Arlong's chest, with blood gushing out, he felt no pain. Even as his flesh was torn, there was no sensation.
Ryujiro continued to examine Arlong's internal organs, stroking his chin thoughtfully.
His organs aren't much different from those of humans, Ryujiro mused. They're just slightly larger.
But Ryujiro didn't stop there. He moved to stab at Arlong's heart.
Even though Arlong couldn't feel pain, watching someone dissect him was a nightmare beyond comprehension—a terror that made even death seem like a luxury.
"What did you do to me?! Why can't I feel anything?!"
"Don't worry," Ryujiro replied indifferently. "You won't feel any pain right now. I control your five senses."
Ryujiro had fully integrated the abilities of his Zanpakuto.
The Zanpakuto at his waist was not the Kyoka Suigetsu, for its abilities had already merged into his body.
The one at his side now was his own Zanpakuto, born from the powers of a Shinigami.
Because of its immense power, Ryujiro rarely used its abilities, as even he found it difficult to fully control the strength of his Zanpakuto.
With a swift slash, Ryujiro created another gash, blood flowing like a waterfall. The ground beneath Arlong turned crimson with his blood.
Even Zoro, who was no stranger to bloodshed, frowned at the sight. Watching someone be dissected alive was a torment beyond imagination.
"So this is the heart of a fishman?"
A human's heart is roughly the size of a fist, but Arlong's was twice that size, beating four times per second.
"Ahhhh! Kill me! Just kill me already!"
Although Arlong couldn't feel pain, the psychological torment had far exceeded his limits.
Nojiko watched Ryujiro in horror, her face pale.
She had never imagined that someone who seemed so cultured and refined could possess such terrifying methods.
Fishmen... What interesting creatures.
As the Chakra blade vanished, Ryujiro released his control over Arlong's senses. In an instant, Arlong experienced pain more excruciating than being flayed alive.
Arlong tore at his own lips, howling in agony. In just two seconds, he collapsed into a pool of his own blood, dead.
Luffy approached Ryujiro, pointing to his own mouth.
With a snap of Ryujiro's fingers, Luffy's voice returned.
"Ryujiro! Quickly, unlock it!"
Huh?
Hearing his voice again, Luffy was overjoyed.
I'm back to normal!
Nami walked over to Arlong's lifeless body, dazed. As she gazed at his corpse, all her pent-up emotions erupted.
Stab! Stab!
Even though it was just a corpse, Nami repeatedly plunged a knife into Arlong's increasingly cold body.
Nojiko ran out from the house and embraced Nami.
"It's over, Nami. It's all over."
Clang!
The knife fell from Nami's hand as she collapsed into Nojiko's arms, sobbing.
"The commotion is too loud. Arlong wouldn't be thinking of destroying Cocoyasi Village, would he? This place is our money tree."
Chew, emerging from Arlong Park, slowly approached Arlong's location with a group of fishmen underlings.
Suddenly, Chew froze in his tracks.
Seeing the bloody scene before him, Chew's eyes widened in terror.
"Is that... Arlong?!"
"Hachi! Kuroobi! What's happened to everyone?!"
"Damn humans! What have you done?!"
Enraged, the fishmen charged at Ryujiro, but in an instant, an invisible shockwave erupted, distorting the air and tearing the fishmen apart.
Before Chew could process what was happening, a shadow appeared in front of him.
Condense! Release!
With a single punch, Ryujiro unleashed a black flash of cursed energy, engulfing Chew.
Boom!
The immense impact sent Chew flying, his fate unknown, but it was certain that he had no chance of surviving under that black flash.
As Ryujiro gazed at the cursed energy flowing around his fist, a smile tugged at the corner of his mouth.
The cursed energy had changed. It felt strange yet intriguing.
"Oh!"
"What was that just now?"
"A black flash?! That was so cool!"
"I want to learn it! Ryujiro, can you teach me?"
"I want to learn it too!"
Luffy's eyes sparkled as he stared at Ryujiro, his desire to learn more intense than ever before.
At that moment, Hinata appeared beside Ryujiro, and in the next second, an overwhelming aura of a king erupted from Ryujiro, sending shockwaves through Cocoyasi Village.
Everyone in the village was struck by the overwhelming Haki and instantly lost consciousness.
Nami and Nojiko gave Ryujiro a final, terrified glance before collapsing to the ground.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
In an instant, three figures were sent flying—Sanji, Zoro, and Usopp, knocked away by a casual strike from Ryujiro.
Luffy, relying on sheer willpower, stood his ground, glaring angrily at Ryujiro.
"What the hell are you doing, you bastard!"
Ryujiro gave Luffy a calm look. "This is a parting gift."
"Understand your own powerlessness. You're all too weak right now."
"If I wished, they would all be dead. Remember this feeling, and never forget it."
With that, Ryujiro delivered a powerful punch to Luffy's abdomen.
Spurt!
Luffy coughed up blood, casting a resentful glance at Ryujiro before losing consciousness.
As a gentle breeze blew through the village, the figures of Ryujiro and Hinata had already disappeared from Cocoyasi Village.
