CHAPTER 200: CHAPTER 201: DESPICABLE ARLONG

Jotaro defeated Arlong’s returning one cadre, without a doubt inspiring the villagers of Cocoyasi Village.

"Didn’t expect he’s this powerful, this is a cadre only second to Arlong, yet was actually easily knocked down by him."

Genzo felt somewhat unbelievable.

He covered his injured chest, came to Nojiko’s side, and quietly asked, "Nojiko, you’re okay, right?"

Nojiko shook her head, her eyes constantly watching toward Jotaro’s location. Compared to those excited villagers, her eyes instead carried a trace of worry.

Only she knew how bad Jotaro’s condition had been a day ago. Although after a night’s rest he looked just like a person with nothing wrong, his body was far from healed, and was even continuing to worsen.

After the fight with Hachi, Jotaro’s chest began to have slight heaving, his breathing gradually becoming heavy.

This sort of thing was absolutely impossible to happen before, even if there were ten more such opponents, he could calmly deal with them.

However, during the battle with Hawkeye, ignoring the injuries he received, his mind and body were both in a state of extreme tension.

In this state, the energy consumption compared to the normal state was completely beyond comparison.

’Thirteen.’

Jotaro silently recited in his heart.

Besides the Hachi who could no longer fight, there were still thirteen fish-men on the scene.

The numbers of Arlong’s pirate group were definitely not limited to these.

Even with his body at the edge of exhaustion, Jotaro still had the chance to, in an instant, strike down all thirteen people including Arlong.

But for him, perhaps there would only be that one single opportunity to make a move.

With his body’s current state, launching that kind of attack, whether he would still have the strength to fight afterward, even Jotaro himself could not predict.

"Yare yare..."

Dealing with the thirteen fish-men in front of him, his win rate was as high as 100%, yet if the opponents were changed to the entire Arlong Pirate Group, then with his current situation, the win rate could only be 0.

He needed to use the very little remaining strength to execute, at the same time, all of the Arlong Pirate Group’s members.

Otherwise, once he fell, there would be no one on this island who could be a match for these fish-men.

At that time, his situation would also become extremely dangerous.

Among the fish-men there were many extreme racial supremacists, Jotaro had no doubt these people would want to kill him.

"Nami, making a decision is not an easy thing, especially when our decision might also determine others’ life or death."

Jotaro’s light green pupils glanced at Nami and he sighed.

"When hesitating, believe your own instinct. Although you have some small cleverness, in this aspect you are still too slow-witted."

Even he himself could not make a perfect decision.

He said no more, but instead looked toward the fish-men constantly closing in on him.

"Your breathing is somewhat rapid." Kuroobi keenly sensed Jotaro’s body changes, "However, considering that strange ability of yours, we will not underestimate you."

He and Chew exchanged a glance, then shouted loudly, "Go together!"

One in front and one behind, Kuroobi rushed straight to Jotaro, chopping fiercely at Jotaro’s vital point with a hand blade, the move vicious, without the slightest holding back.

Behind him, Chew also fired a series of water bullets, sealing Jotaro’s position.

Hachi had been defeated by Jotaro, so the two dared not show the slightest underestimation, right from the start they brought out their killing moves.

Physical strength, to Jotaro now, was incomparably precious. He did not rush to defend, but sought the flaws of the two, so as to defeat them in the shortest time.

"ORA!!!"

At the instant several water bullets were about to hit Jotaro, Star Platinum finally made a move.

A fierce and swift punch struck Kuroobi’s left shoulder, making his body shift sideways, the direction of the shift was exactly toward Chew’s position.

Kuroobi cried out strangely, all the water bullets hitting his back, and then his whole body flew backwards, directly crashing into Chew.

The cold smiles on the watching fish-men’s faces froze instantly.

Kuroobi and Chew’s attacks were clearly about to succeed, how did the situation suddenly reverse?

This all happened far too quickly.

Three cadres had all been defeated by a single human, they could not believe how ugly Arlong’s expression must be now.

They subconsciously looked toward Arlong’s position, yet Arlong had long since disappeared from where he was.

Nojiko’s eyes suddenly opened wide, and she hurriedly shouted, "Careful behind you!"

Arlong bared his teeth, the sharp fangs flashing with a cold glint, his expression incomparably ferocious.

He leaped high, descending from the sky, using his hard knee to fiercely smash into Jotaro’s back.

Arlong’s height was close to three meters, his strength incomparably astonishing, like a mountain pressing down with ten thousand-catty force.

Jotaro immediately spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.

"Yarooo!"

Before this, his attention had been entirely focused on dealing with Kuroobi and Chew’s attacks, having no time at all to pay attention behind, thus giving Arlong an opportunity.

Fortunately, his reaction was still quick, Star Platinum instantly turned around, punching toward Arlong.

Bang!

A heavy blow sent Arlong retreating; Jotaro fell to the ground and slid dozens of meters before stopping with difficulty.

The strength of fish-men was truly shocking.

This was the Arlong who could turn the whole of Gosa Village upside down.

Attacking with the attitude of delivering a fatal blow, and even using abnormally hard knee bones as a weapon, Jotaro even felt his internal organs had shifted position.

If not for Star Platinum helping to absorb most of the force, this strike would have been fatal.

"Arlong, you are truly too despicable!"

Nojiko pointed at Arlong, both furious and shocked.

"Sha ha ha ha ha... Despicable?" Arlong sneered, "I never said I wouldn’t make a move."

Since realizing Jotaro might be a Devil Fruit ability-user, his heart had been filled with deep apprehension, naturally he would not miss the chance to kill Jotaro.

"Your life is truly tenacious, even this didn’t kill you?"

Arlong was also astonished.

This strike of his could break even steel bars, yet it had not broken the spine of the human before him.

Jotaro wobbled as he stood up from the ground.

The place injured by Hawkeye’s slash suffered secondary injury; fresh blood poured desperately from his back.

His expression was calm, his brow not even furrowed, and he still did not forget to taunt.

"Proclaiming yourself a noble race, yet doing such base and low acts, with this kind of weak and powerless attack you think you can kill me, Kujo Jotaro?"

"I suggest you find a doctor to check your brain, your intelligence has already fallen below the average level of the shark race."

Arlong’s face grew darker, the veins on the back of his hand bulging violently.

"You will soon regret not having been directly killed by me just now!"

With lightning speed, he attacked again, using his sharp nose as a weapon, fiercely stabbing toward Jotaro.

Jotaro clenched his fist, thought for a moment, and in the end did not face him head-on, but sidestepped to avoid.

He needed to conserve strength, even if he beat Arlong now, the final result would only be loss.

"Yare yare, need to think of a way to lure all the fish-men on the island over."

Jotaro looked toward Nami, silently thinking in his heart.

That whole "collect a hundred million and I’ll return Cocoyasi Village to you" was nothing but Arlong’s lie to deceive her.

Nami had long realized this.

Arlong was a sinister and vicious man, without the slightest credibility, even if she gathered a hundred million, what then?

They would still have to live in the hell he controlled.

When Jotaro looked toward her, Nami also slowly raised her head. Her eyes still carried tears, yet at this moment no longer had the weakness from before, they were filled with determination.

"Genzo..."

Hearing Nami’s murmur, Genzo slightly turned his head.

"Let’s revolt!"

His eyes opened wide abruptly, and so did Nojiko’s.
