Chapter 6: Arlong

- One Piece World ~ Conomi Islands -

The moment Harry returned from his one year of training, you could already see some of the training results on Harry himself. 

Since Harry still aged in the time room, he looked a bit older and more mature. 

He is still a teenager, and you can see it, but there were significant differences compared to Harry before this year.

Even though it was said that you could only train one ability in the training room, it was not so restricted that your body wouldn't grow or couldn't move. 

In the first place, to train the crush fruit, your physical body has to be strong.

If any one of Harry's friends saw him right now, they would be surprised.

Harry grew to a height of 182cm, outgrowing many of his old classmates, and it seemed his growth wouldn't stop for a long time since he still grew a bit more every few days.

He had lean muscles, and he didn't know how, but his malnourished body, which he couldn't get rid of since he hadn't eaten regularly since his childhood, seemed to be healed. 

He suspected that the One Piece World's body was just different from that of his original body.

The poorly healed bones in his body also felt a lot better, and regular walking didn't have the constant pain that was there in the past.

His training, combined with his new One Piece world body constitution fusion, seems to do wonders for his broken body.

"With my current strength, I shouldn't have a problem with that fishman, do I?" Harry said to himself while at the same time already walking toward the base of the gangsters.

Harry knew that the orange-haired girl just left that base moments ago. 'It seems she was angry about something, but without hearing all the voices, it's hard to know what happened.'

The only good thing about that is that it seems like today is some kind of meeting where all of them gather, and since that is the case, it would be easy to kill them all without letting one of them escape.

When Harry thought about the orange-haired girl again, he couldn't help but blush. 

He saw many different things in her life and could relate to her in many things, so it was probably inevitable, but it still bothered him a bit.

'God help me. Not another crush. Wasn't Cho enough already?' Harry thought to himself, a bit depressed.

Suppressing his thoughts about the cute girl he watched growing up, he arrived at a giant gate without knowing where all the time went.

Looking at the big gate that blocked his way to his first goal in this world, he didn't hesitate anymore.

Gathering the Fruit power inside his arm and seeing the familiar blue spiral gathering around his arm, Harry couldn't help but smile when he thought that at the start of his training, he could only surround his hand with it.

Aiming at the gate, Harry suddenly let loose and hit the door with his full strength, exploding a power so strong and loud that even the villagers in the nearby villages should have heard it. They would probably think it was the Fishman and wouldn't come near here to be safe.

The power his arm released first made contact with the massive gate before it vanished instantly in a show of bright white cubes.

Following the door, the following shockwave wandered into the ground, creating a 20-meter-long ravine with a depth of 2m and a width of 10m.

It even took some of the Fishman that stood in the way of his powers. 

There was not even blood remaining of the Fishman, who had just vanished out of thin air.

Looking around the place, Harry could see the Fishman base of operation. The only noteworthy thing was a big building with several stories and a weird flag on top of it. 

Harry didn't know what the flag meant, but it looked a bit silly in his opinion.

A giant wall surrounds the whole place, cutting the place off from the others on the island.

'Maybe I underestimated my own power a bit?' Harry thought to himself, a bit shocked. 

He knew that his crush could be used in such a way, and he also trained it in such a way, but seeing what it does to buildings and bodies is still a little surprise.

"What is that!" One of the Fishman screamed in anger and surprise. But at the same time, he also looked shocked and scared.

"Monster!" Another one said while all the other Fishman also looked shocked.

'There are still around 50 Fishman, even with the five that were already killed by my entrance some moment ago. It shouldn't be as hard as I thought. The only thing I must be careful about is that they won't jump into the water.'

"Who dares to kill my man!" Screamed somebody suddenly. Looking at the person who screamed so loudly a moment ago, Harry could now see the gang leader and couldn't help showing some anger on his face.

Not thinking too much about the consequences, Harry sprinted the last 100m to the big man. Harry's Crush fruit vaporized every single Fishman who came between Harry and the big fish.

It was one of Harry's defenses he developed this year. 

The energy of the fruit would surround his whole body, and everything that was too much weaker than him would be pulverized. 

Stronger enemies wouldn't get damaged, but for the small fish, it would be easily crushing.

Seeing the human that just appeared inside his base while killing every one of his men with ease, Arlong, the leader of this Fishman, grew more and more angry.

"Go to hell, Human!" He screamed while swinging his sword at Harry, who was approaching him quickly.

The first problem that occurred to him was that the sword he had just swung suddenly vanished when it came in contact with the white energy surrounding that boy. He couldn't even comprehend what happened before a heavy fist with blue spirals around it buried itself inside his body.

The fist that Harry just hit him with suddenly exploded, and the whole body of Arlong just cracked everywhere, and every inner organ of Arlong got crushed.

Flying out into the wall of his own base, Arlong's body slumped lifeless to the ground.

And that was the end and death of strong men who ruled over a whole island for many years.

Many would call it anticlimactic, but does he really deserve a real fight? No. 

In Harry's mind, he didn't deserve a good death. 

Squashed like the bug he is, that is a death somebody like that deserves.

Not bothering any more about the dead boss, Harry turned around to look at the other Fishman of the gang.

Not even five minutes later, every single one of them was dead.

Most of the bodies were vaporized by Harry's crush fruit, but there were also some that were just cut into cubes that had still some blood flowing out and some others that had their inner organs destroyed and their dead body showing blood pouring out of all their holes. 

Overall, it was a gruesome and bloody scene that made Harry sick.

Turning to the ground, Harry looked at his own hands and then at the scene in front of him, bringing him to some tears.

He knew they deserved it, but it was still hard for him.

Before he could think about it further, Harry could hear a loud voice outside the already broken gate.

"Who of you Fish Heads is Arlong?!"

When he looked over, he was surprised to see many villagers outside the broken gate with shocked looks on their faces. 

Harry was a bit surprised. It seemed like they wanted to kill the Fishman with a mob?

Looking further, he saw four people walking slowly to the gate. One of them was the one that screamed for Arlong some seconds ago.
