Belial, Tregear, new members of the Straw Hat Pirates

Chapter 9: The Battle of Ryugu Palace, Belial vs. Hody

Upon hearing this, the Left Minister roared angrily, "Hody, you bastard! You were once a member of Neptune's army. Where is your morale?"

"Morale?" Hody laughed heartily, a disdainful expression on his face. "I threw away that useless stuff a long time ago. The only thing I've ever admired is Brother Alon's will!"

Upon hearing Arlong's name, Nami was visibly frightened. She approached Camie and said, "Camie, I need your help with something."

Hody looked at the disheveled Neptune and laughed, "Neptune, look at yourself! Do you still have the nerve to be royalty?"

"Hody, you have no right to say that!"

"Not qualified?" Hody replied nonchalantly. "Then I'll show you what I'm qualified for."

As he spoke, Hody walked to the wall of the Dragon Palace and smashed it open with a casual grab. Seawater surged into the Dragon Palace.

"What!" Everyone was stunned by what they saw. Hody laughed, "See? This is my strength, this is my right!"

Then, he looked at the Straw Hat crew and said, "Damn it! My most admired brother Arlong was actually defeated by you!" With that, he grabbed a handful of water, "You lowly humans, disappear along with your useless royal family!"

"Gunwave!"

Hody threw out a wave of water like a cannonball, which flew straight towards the group.

Just as Zoro was about to rush out, there was a loud "bang," the roof shattered, and a beam of white light descended from the sky, crashing directly to the ground and stirring up a large amount of sand and water mist.

It also deflected the water wave launched by Hody.

"Who goes there?" Hody shouted into the dust cloud.

As the Straw Hat crew was wondering what was going on, they heard a familiar voice: "Looks like I arrived just in time."

As the sound rang out, the dust and mist slowly dissipated, revealing a white figure.

"Brother Belial!" Usopp looked at the familiar figure; wasn't that Belial?

“Looks like you’re all alright,” Belial said, looking at them. “Wait here, I’ll get you out right away.”

Just then, Hody, on the other side, looked at Belial who was ignoring him and roared, "I'm asking you a question, are you deaf?" With that, he grabbed a handful of water and fired a volley of gunfire at Belial.

"Belial, watch out behind you!" Zoro shouted.

Just as the gun wave was about to hit Belial, and everyone was in a panic, Belial casually slapped the water wave away.

"What? This...this...this...how is this possible?" Hody stared at Belial, his face filled with disbelief.

"What?" Belial looked at Hody calmly. "Is that all? Weren't you very arrogant just now?" Belial shook the water off his hands.

Seeing Belial's arrogant expression, Hody was furious and said to the fishmen beside him, "You lot, get him!"

“But, but…” The others were clearly hesitant.

“There’s no ‘but’,” Hody interrupted directly. “We outnumber them, and we’re in the water, so the advantage is on our side.”

"Boss Hody is right."

"The advantage lies with us."

"Everyone, charge!"

With shouts from the fishmen, they surged forward and charged toward Belial.

Belial stared at them expressionlessly, a red light emanating from his hand. "A bunch of fools," Belial said. "Don't they know that in the face of absolute power, numbers are futile?"

As he spoke, he threw out three red missiles: Belial Flash (this skill comes from Ultraman Galaxy Fight 2: The Great Conspiracy). They flew towards the charging fishman.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!" Three loud explosions rang out, and the fishmen were blown to pieces.

The others were stunned by Belial's performance.

Belial looked at Hody, who was still standing there in a daze, and said with a hint of sarcasm, "Kid, is that all you've got?"

Hearing Belial's tone, Hody flew into a rage and charged forward with his trident: "You lowly human, don't be so smug."

Just then, Belial suddenly vanished, disappearing in a flash of white light. Belial gathered energy in his hand and unleashed a Descium Punch, sending Hody flying.

"Bang!" Hody slammed heavily against the wall.

"Boring." After saying that, Belial walked towards Usopp and the others, and just as he was about to rescue them, an angry voice rang out from behind him.

"You lowly humans, don't be too smug!" Hody rose from the ruins, his veins bulging, his muscles bulging, and he exuded a dangerous aura.

"Could it be that Hody took the deadly drug ES?!" the Left Minister exclaimed.

"That's right, you lowly humans, let me show you the difference between us!" With that, Hody charged toward Belial, trident in hand.

Belial sighed, watching Hody approach, but he didn't move. He simply raised his right hand.

"Die!" Hody raised his trident and thrust it straight at Belial.

"Bang!" With a crisp sound, everyone witnessed an unbelievable scene:

Beria held the tip of Hody's trident between two fingers, expressionless, without moving an inch, and without even trembling.

Hody was stunned by what he saw, while Belial looked at Hody and laughed, "Indeed, I see the difference between you and me!"

With that, Belial flung aside his trident, gathered energy in his right hand, and with a punch from Belial, Hody flew out of the Dragon Palace like a cannonball.

Watching Hody disappear, Belial held up two fingers and smiled faintly: "Someone like you think you can defeat me? You're 20,000 years too early!"

After saying that, Belial realized something was wrong. "Huh? Isn't that Zero's catchphrase? Why would I say that?"

Just as Belial was wondering what was going on, Usopp behind him shouted in terror, "Big Brother Belial, save us! The water is coming!"

"Oh right, I almost forgot." Belial said, leading Usopp and the others out. "Wait a minute, where's Nami?" Belial asked, looking at Usopp. "I don't know? She probably escaped."

"Alright, let me take you out first." With that, Belial led them out.

As for Neptune, he said he didn't need any help, so Belial ignored him and left the Dragon Palace with his men.
