Kuina nodded in agreement: "Robin is right. Let's remove the other malignant tumors in the East Blue one by one. This will not only help places like Cocoyasi Village, but also hone our own skills."

The list in his hand felt like a heavy responsibility, and also like a roadmap for revenge.

In order to prevent these forces from launching a fierce counterattack afterward, they must be eradicated one by one.

This is both a reckoning with the past and a preparation for the future.

Chapter 82 Sin Town

The name "Sin Town" is not without reason.

From sea level, it appears to be just a medium-sized port town.

The dock was crowded with all sorts of ships, many of which flew the fearsome pirate flag.

Or it could be an armed merchant ship that clearly doesn't look like a benevolent entity.

Sailors, pirates, brokers, prostitutes, slave traders, bounty hunters...

All sorts of people can be seen everywhere, and each person's eyes are filled with vigilance and greed.

There are no laws here, or rather, the only law here is the law of the jungle and the supremacy of money.

Nami and her crew carefully moored their boat at a relatively secluded berth.

Even from a distance, they could feel the nauseating stench emanating from the town.

"The air here...it's really uncomfortable!"

Kuina frowned slightly, her hand unconsciously resting on the hilt of her sword. Her Observation Haki allowed her to vaguely sense countless chaotic and evil auras intertwining within the town.

Even after just a brief contact, she felt unclean all over!

Robin's "Hana Hana no Mi" ability created a network of eyes in the vicinity, allowing her to witness numerous bloody scenes in the darkness.

"It seems the intelligence was correct; this place is indeed one of the most corrupt and depraved centers in the East China Sea, where dismemberment, live burials, and human dissection experiments are commonplace."

"Sister Luo, Sister Robin, some of those chilling words don't actually need to be said."

Upon hearing this, Nami quickly put away the sea chart, her little face full of disgust: "I thought the years when Cocoyasi Village was ruled by the Arlong Pirates were dark enough, but this place... never mind, let's start looking for those who had contact with the Arlong Pirates."

She paused, then added, "Anyone connected to the Arlong Pirates must be wiped out in one fell swoop, completely eradicated, and left no future threat!"

Kuina and Robin nodded, and the three of them quickly changed into inconspicuous clothes and blended into the crowd of this sinful town.

Perhaps because they were young, most of the adults in the town didn't take it seriously.

They entered an incredibly noisy pub, where the strong smell of smoke, alcohol, and sweat was almost suffocating.

The three of them found a corner to sit down and ordered a few of the most expensive ale, but their ears were keenly listening to the conversations around them.

"...The last batch of 'goods' was of poor quality; several died before even reaching their destination, causing me a significant loss!"

"What's there to be afraid of? We just caught a new batch recently, all from remote villages, and they were very cheap..."

"I heard that the 'Bloody Hand' boss has closed another big deal—arms smuggled from some kingdom..."

"A new place just opened on West Street, and their drugs are really strong. Want to try it out?"

"Have you heard? Some forces from other sea areas are trying to infiltrate the East China Sea! I wonder if it's true or not!"

Fragments of information reached the three women, causing them to tighten their grip on their wine glasses slightly.

Human trafficking, arms dealing, drugs... the evils here are far more heinous than they imagined.

Even with so much fragmented information, there was still no news of the Arlong Pirates being wiped out.

Listening to the offensive conversations around her, Nami's face grew increasingly grim. She glanced down at the conspicuous Arlong Pirates tattoo on her arm, and a daring plan instantly took shape.

She leaned closer to Kuina and Robin, lowering her voice: "Asking around like this is too slow. How about... we lure them out?"

She pointed to the tattoo on her arm: "I'll use this identity to pretend to be someone sent by the Arlong Pirates to make contact. Kuina, you're in charge of creating conflict and making a big scene, preferably forcing the person in charge here to come out. Robin, keep an eye on things from the shadows, and follow anyone who recognizes the person with the tattoo."

A hint of excitement flashed in Guina's eyes; she had been itching to get started for a long time.

If a fight is inevitable, perhaps one person should take on the entire town single-handedly; wouldn't that be more visually appealing?

Robin took an elegant sip of his mead and nodded slightly: "A very effective plan. I'll keep an eye on it from the shadows!"

With the plan set, Nami took a deep breath and suddenly slammed her hand on the table!

The crisp sound silenced the noisy tavern for a moment, drawing all eyes to this corner.

Nami stood up, hands on her hips, a haughty expression on her face, pointed at the wine glass on the table, and shouted in the most unreasonable tone she could muster:

"Hey! Boss! Are you selling horse piss? How dare you sell something so disgusting? Do you even know who I am?!"

She deliberately raised her arm, clearly exposing the tattoo of the Arlong Pirates to everyone's eyes.

The people in the tavern were taken aback at first, then showed various expressions—some were wary, some were disdainful, and some were looking forward to a good show.

The owner, a burly man with a fierce face, frowned upon seeing this, but still suppressed his temper: "Young lady, you can't just say things like that. Our wine is the best in town... If you want something sweet, we only have juice, do you want some?!"

"Juice? Are you looking down on us women? You bunch of scum!"

Guina replied coldly, her voice not loud, but carrying a chilling edge. She didn't even stand up, but simply picked up her almost untouched glass of ale and flicked her wrist slightly.

"call out--!"

The wine glass seemed to come alive, flying past the boss's ear and landing precisely on the most expensive bottle of wine in the center of the wine rack behind him!

Expensive liquor and shards of glass splattered everywhere!

The entire tavern fell completely silent; you could hear a pin drop.

The boss's face instantly turned ashen, and the surrounding patrons also stood up, their eyes turning hostile.

In the East Blue, although the Arlong Pirates are intimidating, this is, after all, the territory of "Bloody Hand" Charon, and it's not up to outsiders to run wild!

"You're asking for it! I don't care if you're a woman or not, you're dead if you dare cause trouble in a tavern!"

The boss roared and grabbed a cleaver from under the counter, charging over.

Several burly men, clearly thugs, also gathered around.

Kuina moved too.

She didn't even draw her sword.

With a flicker of his figure, he vanished from the spot like a ghost.

In the next instant, all that could be seen was a blur of a figure weaving through the crowd.

"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!"

A series of dull thuds were accompanied by the crisp sound of bones breaking!

The boss and his thugs were sent flying backward even faster than when they rushed at them, crashing heavily against the walls and tables and chairs. They passed out without uttering a sound, their limbs twisted unnaturally.

The other people in the tavern who were itching to make a move froze instantly, staring in horror at the black-haired girl who slowly withdrew her stance, her face still calm.

"The Arlong Pirates...when did they get such powerful figures?" someone whispered in a trembling voice.

"Quickly report to Boss Karon! The Arlong Pirates are causing trouble at the tavern!"

Some quick-witted people scrambled out of the tavern.

Seeing this, Nami was secretly delighted, but on the surface she became even more arrogant:

"Hmph! A bunch of useless adults! Is that all you've got? You can't even beat a kid. You might as well go home and go fishing! Save yourselves from embarrassment! You're in the way! Bah! What a bunch of trash!"

"I think... everyone here, and even everyone in this town, is a bunch of trash! Calling them trash is an understatement!"

Chapter 83: The Killing of Ten Thousand Men, Kuina's Bounty is Placed

Nami's taunt was like lighting a powder keg, and the entire tavern instantly exploded!

"You brat, you're asking for it!" A pirate with a face full of scars suddenly drew his sword and slashed.

Kuina appeared in front of Nami in an instant, still without drawing her sword, but simply dodged the blade and delivered a precise chop to the pirate's Adam's apple.

With a "crack," the pirate fell to the ground.

Kuina's gaze swept over the crowd in the tavern.

"Who else?"

She said only three words, her tone icy and chilling.

"How could this be?... You wretched brat, let's all attack her together!"

A dozen or so pirates saw their comrade being killed and simultaneously drew their swords and charged.

This time, Kuina finally drew her sword.

The sword flashed like a dragon, its cold light suddenly appearing!

With just one sword strike, the three pirates at the forefront simultaneously clutched their throats and collapsed.

With the second sword strike, the wrists of five pirates were severed simultaneously, and their weapons clattered to the ground.

With the third sword strike, the remaining men were all struck in the knees, kneeling and groaning in pain.

The final strike left no one alive.

The whole process took no more than three minutes.

The rest of the people in the tavern could hardly believe it.

"Is this really the Arlong Pirates? Are they insane?!"

"Do you still want to do business here in the future?"

"Stop them! Kill her! We can't let her live!"

"Wait a minute, aren't all the members of the Arlong Pirates fish-men? Why would anyone want to join them!"

"You idiot! Look at the tattoo on that girl's arm, you can't tell it's fake at all."

"That's right. As long as the Arlong Pirates' officers are all on our side, hiring some humans to do odd jobs and mop the floor is perfectly reasonable!"

"What? You mean they're just floor cleaners? What are the Arlong Pirates up to? Are they going to start a war against our Sin Town?"

The commotion in the tavern was like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, the ripples quickly spreading throughout the entire town of sin.
