The air in Arlong Park thickened. The smell of salt, blood, and smoke from the chaos of the battle swirled around them. Kurubi, the hammer-handed fishman, towered over the humans around him. His orange scales glimmered under the sunlight, muscles bulging with raw power. His massive club rested casually on his shoulder as he looked at Sanji.
"You… you're the one with the legs..tell me human what would happen if i break your fucking legs..hahahahaha " Kurubi's voice rumbled like distant thunder. "The little human who thinks he can fight us? Hahaha… I'll crush you like the bug you are!"
Sanji's hand tightened around his cigarette, his leg twitching in anticipation. The smoke curled lazily from his lips, but his eyes were focused, sharp, burning with the fire of someone who had taken too much of this world's cruelty. "You're going to regret underestimating me… Fish with an ugly face You're about to find out why my legs aren't just for walking and can'tbe broken easily..."
Kurubi snarled, swinging his club in a wide arc. The ground shook as it connected with the stone beneath him. "Haaaah! Try and stop me, human!"
Sanji leapt, his body twisting in the air with effortless grace. His black suit flared slightly as his legs extended like coiled springs. BAM! His heel slammed against Kurubi's chest, sending the massive fishman stumbling backward, his club skidding across the floor.
The surrounding fishmen cheered for Kurubi, thinking their strength would overwhelm Sanji. But the blond cook didn't flinch. His eyes narrowed. "You're strong… but not fast enough."
Kurubi roared, regaining his balance. "I'll flatten you before you can blink!"
Sanji's fists balled as he ran forward, each step precise, his kicks ready to unleash fury. His legs blurred as he launched a series of Diable Jambe kicks—fiery, spinning, and precise—striking Kurubi again and again. Each kick slammed like a battering ram, cracking the ground beneath them, raising clouds of dust and debris.
"Hnghh! Impossible!" Kurubi grunted, staggering under the onslaught. Sweat and sea water mixed on his scales, glinting like molten metal under the sun. "How… how can a human… move like this!?"
Sanji's eyes flickered, his expression calm yet deadly. "Because a human like me… doesn't fight for himself. I fight for my friends… and I won't let scum like you hurt anyone else!"
Kurubi swung his hammer arm down with the force of a falling boulder. Sanji twisted midair, avoiding the strike by inches. The hammer smashed into the stone floor, sending cracks like lightning radiating out. Sanji landed gracefully behind Kurubi, and with a swift kick to his side, sent him sliding across the floor.
The crowd of fishmen paused, watching the seemingly impossible battle. Sanji moved like poetry in motion, fluid, precise, deadly. His legs were flames, his kicks were justice. Bam! Bam! Bam! Each strike pushed Kurubi further back, faster, until he was struggling to even lift his weapon.
Kurubi's chest heaved, his pride battered. "This… little human… I… won't… lose…"
Sanji's eyes softened, just slightly, as he took a slow breath. "You should've thought about that before you started hurting innocents and you dare t-to make Nami-chan cry ..ughhhh..a fish like you...unforgivable … ill show how to respect a ladyyyy!!!"
He leapt high, spinning, flames trailing behind his leg as he brought down a kick with all his strength. Diable Jambe!
CRASH!
..
Bangggggg
Kurubi was slammed into the ground, skidding, his weapon flying from his hands. Dust filled the air. Silence. Then a low groan as Kurubi tried to rise, but his body refused.
*swoosh
Sanji landed lightly, a cigarette dangling from his lips, one hand in his pocket, the other ready. His expression calm, composed… but underneath, the fire of righteous anger still burned.
The surrounding fishmen froze, watching their strongest go down at the feet of a human. The whispers started: "Impossible… a human… strong enough to defeat Kurubi…"
Sanji exhaled slowly, letting the tension release. "Next time… think twice before hurting anyone weaker than you....Well i was planning on cooking you all but your face are more disgusting than a fish, All yoi can do is talk..tch." His voice was soft, yet it cut through the air like steel.
From the distance, Luffy and Zoro watched, their eyes gleaming with respect and excitement. The tide was turning. Arlong's reign of terror was about to face the storm of three unstoppable forces.
