Chapter 395 A狰狞 face, a final roar!
Chapter 395 A狰狞 (zhengning, meaning ferocious or hideous) face, a final roar!
"Blood-Eyed Ninja..."
Lying inside Noah's Ark, Hody stared in shock at the terrifying beast encasing the ark, saying, "They can even do something like this...?"
One person can move Noah's Ark... Is this the power of the Blood Child Ninja?
This is terrifying!
"That way, Noah's Ark won't crash on Fishman Island," Hody murmured.
In that case... his plan could not be carried out!
Thinking of this, Hody's expression turned ferocious.
hateful!
Damn it!
"Why are you getting in my way, you damned blood-eyed ninja!!" Hody roared.
west Yan, who was outside dealing with Noah's Ark with his clone, scoffed upon hearing this. He wondered what this guy was thinking, still saying such things at a time like this.
"We have our crew on Fishman Island, how could we let you succeed?" Luffy, who had arrived not far from Hody, stared at him and said, "Just give up on that idea!"
"Give up?!" Hody roared. "Absolutely not!!!"
After saying that, Hody took out a large amount of deadly drugs from his pocket again, and then stuffed the dose, which was enough to kill an ordinary person instantly, into his mouth.
Upon seeing this, Luffy was momentarily stunned.
"Take medicine?"
Why would the other person need to take medicine at this time?
"Hahaha..."
"The power of this deadly drug is truly captivating!"
Feeling the sudden surge of power within his body, Hody immediately burst into laughter.
Then, he used his muscles to pull himself out of the ship and stopped not far from Luffy.
"Straw Hat Boy..."
Hody, whose muscles had become even more terrifying, coldly looked at Luffy and said, "I'll show you what true power is!"
At this moment, Hody's rationality had been completely destroyed by the drug, leaving him with only endless killing intent!
He was going to use his own life to wipe out these damned humans!
All humans deserve to die!
"No wonder Jinbe said your power was fake," Luffy said, frowning. "Power enhanced by drugs doesn't belong to you."
At least in his view, the power gained through cultivation is the only power that truly belongs to him!
"Don't give me that lecturing nonsense." Hody punched a piece of wood to pieces and said coldly, "I don't need it!"
False power?
So what can we do?
As long as he can achieve his goal, he'll do it even if it costs him his life afterward, let alone taking a life-shortening drug!
Then he roared, "Straw Hat Kid, I'll kill you first, and then I'll go kill the rest of the people!"
"Humans must all die!"
At this moment, Hody no longer felt any fear of Xiyan; all he felt was endless killing intent!
It's fair to say that he has now been turned into a killing machine by the drug.
"You won't have that chance!" Luffy declared, assuming an attack stance. "Because I'll defeat you right here!"
"Second gear!"
"Then let's give it a try!"
After letting out a roar, Hody charged towards Luffy.
Seeing this, Luffy launched an attack without hesitation.
"Rubber Jet Pistol!"
"bump!"
"Varied...?!"
When Luffy saw that what he had hit was just an afterimage, his pupils shrank instantly.
This person's speed has become terrifying?
"It's no use, Straw Hat Boy!"
Hody, now on the other side, sneered, "Having ingested a large amount of potent drugs, I'm invincible in the ocean!"
"Shrimp hahahaha"
Although the other party has that strange bubble that grants him the ability to move in the ocean, ... I am a noble fishman!
In the ocean, he is invincible!
Therefore... the mere Straw Hat Boy is no match for him at all!
This time, the Straw Hat Boy is doomed!
"I refuse to believe I can't hit you!" Luffy shouted.
As they were talking, Luffy launched another attack on Hody, but unfortunately... this attack missed again.
Just like that, after dodging several of Luffy's attacks, Hody successfully arrived in front of Luffy.
"Too slow, Straw Hat Boy..."
"bump!"
As he spoke, Hody lashed out with a whip kick, sending Luffy flying towards the high water dragon wall!
"wave"
The next moment, the water wall seemed to come alive, taking Luffy inside and simultaneously dissipating the terrifying kinetic energy he carried.
After doing this, the water dragon wall spat Luffy out and sent him back to Noah's Ark.
"What an amazing Water Release technique!"
Feeling the changes in his body, Luffy was immediately surprised, then turned to look outside and called out, "Thank you, Xiyan!"
"profound!"
Upon hearing Luffy's words, west Yan replied with a single word, which could be considered a response to Luffy's words.
Hody, his face contorted with rage, stared at the high water wall and said, "Are they planning to make us fight to the bitter end here?"
Isn't that bastard afraid that he'll kill his captain?
Or is it that he has great confidence in the Straw Hat Pirates' abilities?
"If that's the case... then he'll just kill that Straw Hat guy."
Thinking of this, Hody's killing intent became even more terrifying.
After a roar, Hody appeared in front of Luffy and struck him on the head.
"Go to hell, Straw Hat Boy!"
"Fishman Karate - Five Thousand Tiles Straight Fist!"
"Rubber Jet Rocket Launcher!"
"bump!"
The two attacks collided, instantly causing the seawater to surge and churn.
"boom!!"
"Too slow, Straw Hat Boy!"
After Hody roared, he bent down and grabbed Luffy's arm, then bit Luffy's shoulder.
"puff!"
Those sharp fangs, combined with terrifying bite force, directly pierced through Luffy's defenses, causing Luffy to scream in pain.
"ah!!"
"Hahahaha."
Seeing Luffy's pained expression, Hody immediately revealed an excited look and said, "What a beautiful scream! Let me..."
"Rubber Fire Fist Gun!"
Without giving Hody a chance to continue arguing, Luffy immediately wrapped his arm in Haki as he swung it out, and then his arm burst into flames.
After doing that, Luffy punched Hody hard in the stomach.
"boom!!"
That terrifying force sent Hody flying, sliding backward along the deck.
After gliding for nearly tens of meters, Hody roared and slammed his feet into the ground, finally bringing his body to a stop.
Then, the man roared and grew his fangs out again.
"Hahaha~"
"Straw Hat Boy!" Hody said with a ferocious expression, looking at the huge fangs left on Luffy's shoulder. "It hurts, doesn't it?"
"My fangs aren't just for show!"
"hateful.."
Looking at the enormous tooth lodged in his shoulder, Luffy's expression turned somewhat grim.
He really didn't expect that the opponent's fangs could bite through his defenses. Weren't those sharp teeth a bit too powerful?
After enduring the pain of having his enormous tooth pulled out, Luffy turned his gaze to Hody, frowning as he said, "The Fire Fist Gun clearly worked, so why...?"
"Shrimp hahahaha"
Upon hearing Luffy's words, Hody burst into laughter again.
"Because I have received power bestowed upon me by the heavens!" Hody laughed, "With this power, I can kill all of you damned inferior humans!!"
After saying that, Hody paused for a moment, then pointed to the bubbles on Luffy's body and continued, "You think you can defeat me just because you have that thing on you?"
"Stop joking!"
"In the ocean, the fish-men are invincible!"
"Whether it's you or the Blood-Eyed Ninja!"
"None of them will be a match for me!"
"Shrimp hahahaha"
Lost in the power, Hody no longer cares about anyone.
At that moment, Hody saw him as the most powerful person in the world!
"I said it," Luffy said, straightening up, "I will defeat you!!"
"Still spouting such grandiose talk even now..." Hody said mockingly, looking at Luffy. "Humans really won't learn their lesson until they see the coffin."
"You're overestimating yourself, Straw Hat Boy!"
"You have no idea how vast the gap is between us!"
By this point, Hody was already yelling.
"Now, I will use my power to show you who truly rules this world!"
"roar!!"
After a roar, Hody raised his hands and grabbed the seawater on both sides, unhesitatingly activating Fishman Karate.
"Fishman Karate - Water Heart: Sharks!"
"Whoosh"
"Whoosh"
"Whoosh"
Large clumps of water flew out of Hody's hands and transformed into sharks in mid-air.
Then, the group of sharks roared and charged towards Luffy.
"shark?"
As the shark drew closer, Luffy was surprised. How come this guy's moves were somewhat similar to Xiyan's Water Release Technique?
While thinking this, Luffy dashed to the side and successfully dodged Hody's attack.
"It's not over yet, Straw Hat Boy!" Hody roared.
As he spoke, Hody unleashed another large number of sharks, launching a relentless attack on Luffy.
Seeing this, Luffy immediately dodged to the side, but due to the sheer number of attacks, he was ultimately hit by one of the sharks.
"bump"
With a single blow, Luffy was sent flying!
"Shrimp hahahaha"
Upon seeing this, Hody burst into laughter and exclaimed, "See that, Straw Hat Boy!"
"This is my power!"
"Shrimp hahahaha"
If I possessed invincible power... I could definitely kill all of humanity!
"No one can stop me from taking my revenge on humanity!" Hody roared. "No one!"
He may not live for many more years after taking the deadly drug, but... before he dies, he will drag all of humanity into the sea!
At that moment, the water dragons that had been surrounding them disappeared, along with their clones.
Seeing this, Hody paused for a moment, then narrowed his eyes and said, "This environment..."
Have we arrived at Fishman Street yet?
That damned blood-eyed ninja, his water-style jutsu is truly terrifying.
But it doesn't matter, I'll kill Straw Hat Boy after I kill him!
Thinking of this, Hody sneered and turned his gaze to Luffy.
"hateful.
Looking at the wound on his shoulder that was starting to bleed, Luffy frowned and said, "There's no time to waste..."
If he continues to waste time, he may lose consciousness due to excessive blood loss.
Therefore... we must act swiftly and decisively!
With that thought in mind, Luffy burst out of the large crater in the ship and then soared into the air at an incredible speed.
"Third gear!"
"Armament Haki Hardening!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Luffy's enlarged fist was immediately imbued with Armament Haki, making his aura even more terrifying!
"It's that trick again."
Seeing Luffy enlarge his fist, Hody sneered, "Straw Hat Kid, that move is useless against me right now!"
He is invincible right now!
So... even if this guy makes his fist bigger, he still can't defeat the invincible him!
Shrimp, hahaha!
"Whether it works or not isn't up to you to decide!" Luffy roared, "Gum-Gum Elephant Gun!!"
After saying that, Luffy swung his huge fist and punched Hody.
"Then let's give it a try!"
Hody roared back and launched an attack.
"Swarm of Sharks - Chaotic Star Strike!!"
"Whoosh"
"Whoosh"
"Whoosh"
A massive number of water sharks flew out from Hody's side, an astonishing number!
The next moment, "Clang!"
"Clang!"
"Clang!"
A barrage of sharks slammed into Luffy's fist, abruptly stopping it in mid-air.
Upon seeing this, Hody immediately burst into laughter and said, "See that, Straw Hat Boy? This is mine..."
"I'm sick and tired of hearing that!" Luffy roared. "Just fall down!"
With Luffy's roar, the fist that had been suspended in mid-air began to slowly move forward, until finally...
Successfully defeated all of Hody's water sharks!
Hody was stunned when he saw this.
"How...is this possible?"
Why was Straw Hat Puppet able to defeat his strongest move?
What right does a mere human have?!
"Straw Hat Boy!!!"
As the fist drew ever closer, Hody roared, "I'm going to kill you!"
As he spoke, the man jumped up and used the force of the seawater to charge towards Luffy's fist, clearly intending to defeat Luffy head-on.
But the moment he touched Luffy's fist, he knew he was wrong.
That's ridiculously wrong.
His opponent's fist, which was as large as that of a giant, was simply beyond his ability to resist!
"bump!"
"Whoosh"
"boom!!"
Hody, struck by the punch, flew out like a cannonball and landed on the side of Noah's Ark in the blink of an eye, becoming embedded in the wood.
"You damned Straw Hat brat..." Hody glared at Luffy, his eyes bloodshot, and said, "I'm going to kill you!!"
"It can still move, huh...?"
Seeing Hody still intending to stand up and fight him, Luffy's expression darkened as he said, "In that case..."
Realizing that simple moves wouldn't defeat his opponent, Luffy decisively transformed his other fist into a giant form, while also imbuing it with Haki.
"Rubber, like an elephant gun firing wildly!"
"bump!"
"bump!"
"bump!"
Without giving Hody a chance to crawl out, Luffy immediately slammed his two enormous fists into Hody's body.
No mercy!
"ah!!!"
"Straw Hat Boy!!!"
Hody roared angrily after being hit, but he was powerless to retaliate against the attack.
Finally... after half a minute of bombardment, Hody's bones were shattered by Luffy's punch! *Thud!*
As the edge of Noah's Ark shattered, Hody's body flew out along with the wreckage.
"Um?"
Looking at Hody flying out with the wreckage, Shark Star exclaimed in surprise, "That guy is Hody?"
"Did he... he was defeated by the Straw Hat Puppy?!"
"Yes."
After dispelling all his clones, west Yan used his Observation Haki to sense Hody's condition and said, "His consciousness has disappeared."
"That's fantastic! That's wonderful!" Shark Star exclaimed excitedly, "That monster Hody has finally been defeated!"
In this way, the crisis on Fishman Island was completely resolved!
"Lord Xien, Lord Luffy...
Having taken in the two figures, Shirahoshi said through tears, "Thank you, thank you both..."
As if the immense pressure on her shoulders had vanished, the taut little girl finally broke down and burst into tears.
But this time, the three Shark Star brothers didn't say much, after all... there were tears in their eyes too.
Why are you crying again?
Luffy, who had just emerged from Noah's Ark, looked at Shirahoshi with a puzzled expression and said, "The danger has clearly passed."
At this moment, Luffy had no idea why Shirahoshi was crying.
"Perhaps it's tears of joy," west Yan said with a smile.
Then he noticed the bloodstains on Luffy's body, and frowned, asking, "What happened to the blood on you?"
"That guy Hody's?"
"no."
Luffy shook his head, pulled open his clothes to show west Yan his wound, and said, "It's my own."
As he spoke, blood spurted from the wound on Luffy's shoulder.
west Yan:
With injuries this severe, why are you pretending to be calm, you bastard!
"Hey, west Yan!"
Upon seeing Luffy's wound, Merry's eyes immediately welled up with tears. She then tugged at Xiyan and said, "Go and heal Luffy quickly!"
"I know."
west Yan rubbed his temples, then brought Merry to Luffy's side and began treating him with medical ninjutsu.
"If you're injured, just honestly ask a doctor for help. Why are you pretending to be so calm?"
"I haven't had a chance to say it yet," Luffy grinned, showing his teeth.
west Yan shook his head helplessly upon hearing this; this guy still had the nerve to laugh.
If it weren't for the fact that this idiot was injured, he would have really wanted to beat him up.
"How did Hody hurt you?" Mary asked, looking at Luffy's wound with concern.
Such a big wound... Could it be that Hody slashed it with the big knife on his back?
"He just bit me," Luffy said nonchalantly.
"bite?"
Mei was stunned for a moment. What kind of strange attack method was this?
"Hody is a great white shark man, so his bite force is terrifying," Shark Star explained, leaning closer. "And with the added boost from the potent drug..."
"Is that why he was able to bite Luffy like that?" Mary nodded after saying that, then asked curiously, "By the way... what exactly is this deadly drug?"
Why would Hody eat this?
"It's a very dangerous potion," Shark Star explained. "It can increase strength dramatically in a short period of time, but the side effects are also significant."
"If you eat too much at once, it will shorten your lifespan to the maximum extent, so this thing is also a forbidden drug."
He had heard his father mention this before, so he knew how terrible this potion was.
"Reducing lifespan..."
Mary swallowed hard, then turned to Hody, who had been dragged over by Huangxing and Fanchexing, and said, "Is this why his hair turned completely white?"
The other person had black hair when they were in the Dragon Palace, but when they met again, their hair was completely white. How much of their lifespan must have been reduced?
Shouldn't we simply reduce it by several decades?
Otherwise, it would be impossible for them to have white hair.
"Most likely," Shark Star nodded and said.
Although we don't know exactly how much poison Hody took, judging from the current effects... he probably doesn't have much time left to live.
Just then, Huang Xing and Fan Che Xing swam over with the unconscious Hody, their expressions more complicated than the other.
"What, you're planning to take him back?" west Yan glanced at Hody in their hands and said, "Given his current physical condition, he probably won't be long before he dies."
west Yan could tell that Luffy had broken the other person's bones.
So... even if this guy didn't die on the spot, he's not far from it.
"Is he dying?"
Shark Star was stunned for a moment. He thought that Straw Hat Boy had only been beaten unconscious by the other party, but it turned out that he had beaten the person to the point of near death.
This time, west Yan did not answer the question, but instead sent a wooden clone to examine Huo Di's body.
Without wasting any words, the wooden clone quickly arrived at Hody's side and checked on his condition.
Then, the wooden clone said, "Luffy shattered all the bones in my body, and my internal organs were also shattered."
"Most importantly... his own cells have almost no vitality left."
In this situation, Hody could not possibly have survived.
"Did you hear that?" west Yan withdrew his gaze and said, "With injuries of this severity, he won't survive."
In a sense, Hody is already dead; it's just that his brainwaves haven't disappeared yet.
But... it won't be long before this guy...
died.
Before he could finish his thoughts, the wooden clone spoke again: "Hody is dead."
Just now, the opponent's life force completely disappeared.
"Is he/she dead?"
Looking at Hody, who was now completely dead, Shark Star's expression became somewhat complicated.
I never imagined that this arrogant guy would end up like this.
However, Shark Star restrained his emotions after thinking about what this guy wanted to do.
It was a life-or-death battle, so there's really nothing to be sentimental about.
"Tell Fishman Island what's happening here," west Yan said. "That way, we can end the war there sooner."
Once news of Hody's defeat gets back, those guys will lose their will to fight.
"clear!"
Shark Star nodded, then looked down at Luffy and said, "Then Mr. Luffy, he..."
"Don't worry, this guy won't die."
west Yan glanced down at Luffy and said, "He's just lost a little blood. He'll be fine after eating more."
After saying that, west Yan paused for a moment, then laughed and said, "Bai Xing, come and support us. We'll treat this guy as we walk."
"Yes, Lord Xiyan!!"
