Chapter 17

"It doesn't matter if you don't know the power of the devil fruit. You just need to know that I am very strong and can easily kill the fish people."

Nojiko nodded. She pondered for a moment and knew that she had encountered a critical turning point in her life.

Although the man in front of her had a mysterious origin, she had no choice but to believe him and agree to him, so that Nami would not be desperate after handing over 100 million Berries to Arlong.

Thinking of this, she stared at Ethan with bright eyes and responded:

"Sorry... I can't make a decision for Nami. I can only try my best to persuade her. If you agree, I can become your God Consort..."

The words came out, but she felt a little ashamed in her heart...

"Is that so..."

Nojiko's heart was lifted up instantly when she heard the words.

"Then it's settled~"

Ethan chuckled and took her directly into his arms. As she exclaimed, lightning flashed and they arrived at Arlong Park.

When Nojiko was surprised at his great magical powers, she heard his domineering voice.

"Let me show you how these ugly fishmen perish."

Without any nonsense, he started the ruthless killing.

"Who are you!?"

"Damn human!"

"Ah!!!"

"Nojiko, she's Nami's sister Nojiko, I recognize her!!"

The fishmen in the field could not resist Ethan's killing steps at all. They were struck into ashes by fierce lightning before they could even speak.

"Am I living in a dream..." Nojiko looked at all this in disbelief.

She only dared to dream that the navy would come to rescue them, because her adoptive mother was a navy, and she couldn't imagine that there would be such a powerful person...

No, it's God. He is her God, the God who came to redeem her and Nami!

"Six Sword Style: Six Sword Waltz!"

The fishman Hatchan watched his companions around him die one after another and angrily launched his strongest sword move.

However, in response to him, there was a thunder as thick as a baby's forearm.

"New... why..."

He was too weak; Ethan didn't even pay special attention to him, and he was annihilated by the thunder that automatically targeted enemies.

At this time, Arlong was disturbed by the screams and thunder outside, and walked out of the house. Seeing the tragic scene, he couldn't help but grit his teeth and shouted angrily:

"Where did you come from, lowly human?"

Ethan sneered, what a stupid and ignorant fishman, so different from his half-sister Madam Shyarly.

"Ignorance is truly fearless!"

He raised his hand and made a fist, and a thunder ball quickly took shape. He flicked it lightly and shot it at Arlong.

"Thunder Style: Thunder Ball!"

Arlong was tortured by the electric current, twitching wildly. The big saw blade "Kiribachi" in his hand fell to the ground. Just as he was about to faint, he forced himself to kneel on the ground and struggled to look at Ethan, threatening:

"Human! My brother is one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, Sea Knight Jinbei! You better think about the consequences of attacking me!"

"Hehe~" Ethan didn't care.

"Stupid Arlong, you can go with peace of mind. I'll take good care of your mature and plump sister, Shyarly, and let her sink happily in my hands."

"You!" Arlong's eyes widened, dumbfounded. How did this man in front of him know his sister?

But there was no time for him to think. He looked at the other party's hand in the shape of a pistol, as if he was about to shoot, and shouted helplessly and furiously:

"Fishmen are nobler than humans!"

"Thunder Gun!"

A sharp electric light burst from Ethan's fingertips, piercing through Arlong's head, and he fell, going to join Fisher Tiger in death.

The fishmen in the field were already dead or escaped.

Some self-righteous fishmen took advantage of his distraction to dive into the water, not knowing that water conducts electricity far better than air.

"Thunder Style: Water Walker!"

Soon, the fishmen were electrocuted to death, floating to the surface with their bellies turned up.

Even the sea cow Momoo couldn't survive in the electrified water. When discovered, it would likely become a feast for the villagers of Cocoyasi.

Ethan turned to look at Nojiko and noticed she was already in tears.

The culprit who killed their adoptive mother had been executed before her eyes; anyone would cry in relief.

She didn't make a sound, perhaps fearing it would displease him.

With this in mind, he stroked Nojiko's sky-blue hair and whispered comfortingly:

"Cry if you want to; don't worry about me."

Nojiko looked at him gratefully, then burst into tears, shouting:

"Bellemere!! Do you see it!! Arlong... is finally dead!!!"

"Nami! You don't have to endure humiliation or steal money for us anymore! We are free!"

Ethan suddenly remembered that he hadn't yet dealt with Captain Nezumi. When she had almost finished crying, he reminded her:

"That's not all; there's another mastermind behind the scenes!"

"Ah?" Nojiko was stunned and asked hurriedly, "Who is it?"

"It's Captain Nezumi of the 16th Marine Branch. He secretly colluded with Arlong, which kept news from spreading."

"Don't worry, I've 'seen' him."

As he spoke, Ethan raised his hand in the direction of the 16th Marine Branch, firmly locked onto Nezumi's presence, and sent a thunder pillar skyward.

"God's Judgment!"

The thunder was deafening, and sounds could be faintly heard even in Cocoyasi Village.

There was no doubt that Nezumi was dead, and the building he was in had been reduced to a large pit, with only a few navy officers outside the building surviving by chance.

[Ethan's Observation Haki could detect far and wide, and Cocoyasi Village wasn't large. Not long after Nami returned in One Piece, Nezumi rushed to seize her treasure. It's clear the 16th Marine Branch was near Cocoyasi Village.]

"Let's go; I'll take you back home," Ethan said, reaching out to her.

"Yeah." Nojiko responded, then remembered that the villagers were unaware of the good news.

"I... I'll go inform the villagers. They don't know the fishmen are dead yet."

"There's no need for that. Wouldn't it be more surprising if they found out for themselves?"

Ethan didn't want to get caught up in a crowd crying and shouting.

"That's true..."

Nojiko felt he had a point and didn't dare oppose him. Seeing his hand still extended, she was startled and quickly took it.

Ethan was satisfied and, with a flash of lightning, took her back to her home.
