Sirzechs looked at the merfolk, He couldn't describe what he felt right now. He looked at Nami before he asked.
"Are they really Merfolk?"
Nami nodded her head quickly.
"Yes, They are merfolk, and they hate humans. Now can you deal with them?"
Nami had made a contract with him, using her talent for drawing maps as a payment.
She loved to draw them, but if it was for her family and friends, then It was worth it.
'Even if I can't draw map as well as before, that doesn't mean I can't improve!'
Sirzechs nodded. He didn't have a problem dealing with them when he could see that they weren't the merfolk in his memories.
"Wait here. I'll be done in a minute."
Sirzechs rubbed Nami's head a little bit. In his memories, he had a little sister, so he had a soft spot for children.
Nami refused his hand but didn't say anything. She just felt weird with a man doing something like that to her. She didn't have father, so It was understandable.
Sirzechs disappeared. He used magic to teleport directly to them.
…
Arlong and his crew didn't know that they were targeted by a very dangerous person.
He didn't have a bounty or even a famous name in the sea. But many dangerous people were also like that.
"Shahahaha, drink more, drink more. And I'll give you the wealth you could never dream of!"
Arlong drank his booze without care in the world. He thought that he was the king of this sea.
No human could pose any threat to him or his crew members.
Nezumi couldn't deny the liquor that Arlong gave him, so he drank it. It was too strong for him, but he had to endure it for his future.
'I need to endure it.'
Nezume drank the booze with great difficulty. The prospect of having wealth drove him to do what he normally couldn't.
He wanted to grab the second bottle to drink, but it disappeared before his eyes.
He had to clear his eyes to see if what he saw was real or not.
'It really disappeared.'
But when he was about to ask Arlong, He heard a man's voice.
"Hey, can I have a drink too? I really need some strong booze right now."
Not only him but Arlong too heard the voice, and then they looked at Arlong's left side to see a man with crimson red hair sitting among them. He smiled at them and looked at the booze in his hand.
He seemed to really want to drink it.
"Who are you, Human? Do you know who we are?"
Arlong became serious. He really hated humans. And to think that a human showed up without invitation and still dared to ask for his drink.
"No, I don't. Can you tell me about yourself? Then I can tell you mine."
Arlong narrowed his eyes and showed him his very sharp teeth. But the man didn't care much and drank his booze.
"Wow, This is good stuff. Where did you get this kind of wine? I think only nobles could afford it."
Arlong felt weird when he looked at the man carefully again. He felt like his blood was boiling the more he looked at him. It wasn't because he was a human, but something else.
"Who are you? No, what are you? I know that you are not a human. Your smell and the feeling of oppression that I can feel from you are not something that a human could produce."
Arlong stood up. All of his crew also stopped and looked at them. They also felt a feeling of oppression coming out of him.
"Interesting. You are the only one who could tell that I am indeed not a human."
Sirzechs drank the booze again. It was burning, but not too much.
"I won't tell you because it didn't benefit me. If you want to know, give me something equal or better for the price."
"How arrogant. Do you think that I would spare you because you are not humans? Humph. I have killed many of other races before Shahaha. I will show you now not to mess with us, merfolk!"
Arlong couldn't stand it anymore, and he punched Sirzechs, aiming at his face with great speed.
His strength was ten times stronger than that of a normal human. He was sure that even though the man in front of him wasn't human, he must be weaker.
Sirzechs looked at Arlong. His punch was so slow from his perspective. He moved like a snail.
'Devil's body is much stronger than merfolk of this world. That's good.'
Arlong's fist came into contact with a thin layer of wind magic. Sirzechs could take on his punch easily, so why did he have to when he could use magic?
"What!"
Arlong was shocked, and everyone around him felt the same as him. They could see clearly that the crimson red hair man could use some kind of weird power to block Arlong's attack. Not only that, it also reflected his attack on him twofold.
"Good punch, but not enough. I'll show you how to punch."
Sirzechs drank all of the booze in one go, then he stood up. He pulled his arm backward. Great force was gathered in his fist.
Arlong's eyes widen. He wanted to say something, but
"I need some money, so I won't kill you for now."
Sirzechs smiled before he punched Arlong in the face. His face was crushed by the force behind his punch.
Arlong then was sent flying backward and hit hard on the rock boulder. He lost consciousness but was not dead yet.
Sirzechs, after he punched Arlong, then looked at Nezumi, who was trying to escape secretly.
He teleported in front of him and then asked.
"You are a marine, right? Can I have his bounty and all of the treasure?"
He needed the money he could get. As for corrupted officers, It wasn't his problem. But he was open for anyone to hire him to deal with them temporarily or permanently.
