Chapter 17 - Chapter 17: Maxxing!

"Shark On Darts!" Arlong shouted as he spun in the air, his body vanishing from his previous spot. Satoru looked at Arlong, and behind Arlong were Chew and Kuroobi.

Chew was preparing something as he puffed his chest up. Kuroobi looked ready to throw a thousand tile punch. Satoru smirked as he saw the way they manipulated water.

"So this is how they use Fishman Karate? Not bad, though I won't use the martial arts of a pathetic race." Satoru said as he looked at a shocked Arlong hovering in the air, his nose an inch from Satoru's eyes.

"How is this possible?" Arlong asked, his voice shaking as he jumped back from Satoru. Nami looked at Arlong with joy and satisfaction. The fear in his eyes meant everything to Nami.

"You want to kill him?" Satoru asked Nami as he leaned down and whispered to her. Nami nodded, her eyes cold as she remembered what she went through because of them.

"Yes," Nami replied, and Satoru smiled as he pointed his hand above. A force of suction started sucking everything into the place. Arlong, Kuroobi, Hatchan and every other Fishman.

They were sucked into a ball in the air and Satoru slowly increased the pressure of the suction. Cracks were heard among the cries of pain as their bones cracked and pierced their skin.

Boom!

The ground turned into a crater as Satoru pulled the massive Fishman ball to the ground. Arlong and everyone else were lying on the floor, bones sticking out of their bodies.

Walking to Arlong, Satoru gave Nami a dagger, which she took and stabbed into a weak Arlong's eye. Arlong let out a scream as his brain was stabbed, ending his life.

Or what Nami thought.

Satoru stopped the blade from piercing into Arlong's brain, and summoned a blue in his brain, killing him. Satoru needed those exp points to improve his template.

[Ding!]

[Killed Arlong!]

[Reward: 15,000 exp!]

[Changed the fate of Nami!]

[Reward: 20,000 exp points!]

Satoru smirked at the number of points accumulating in his system. The previous 13,000 exp points and now the 35,000 exp points would allow him to gain 48% of his template.

That would be 98% in Satoru Gojo's template, enough to almost max out the points. Satoru grinned as he looked at the other Fishman; each was worth points.

Boom!

Satoru vanished and smashed his fist against Kuroobi, breaking his arms and sending him flying like a missile. The ground caved in, and before Kuroobi could do anything, his already injured body was hit.

Boom!

A crater exploded on the ground as Kuroobi's head was smashed into paste, the blood spraying everywhere except for Satoru. Satoru turned to look at Chew.

"W-Wait! If you kill me. Jinbe, one of the seven warlords of the sea, will kill you!" Chew said, trying to think of any way to leave this situation, but Satoru only smirked.

"Even better!" Satoru said as he ran at Chew, who spit out a water bullet in hopes of hitting Satoru. Satoru smacked the water bullet with his hand, and his fist glowed blue as he punched Chew.

Boom!

The ground exploded again as Chew was killed instantly, and Hatchan was the only one left, trembling on the floor. His battered and broken body from the previous attacks was unable to move.

"Nami, let's go," Satoru said as he walked to Nami. Whose eyes were wet as she looked at Arlong's body. The years of pain finally vanished as she turned to look at Satoru.

"Yes." Satoru held her by the waist as he turned to walk away. He has gained 6,000 points from killing Chew and Kuroobi, and 10,000 exp points for killing Hatchan.

Satoru had gained 64,000 exp points from Don Kieg and the Arlong Pirates combined. Satoru instantly filled the Satoru Gojo template to 100%

[Ding!]

[Unlocked the full Satoru Gojo template!]

[Unlocked Reversed Cursed Technique Lv.1!]

[Unlocked Reversal: Red Lv.1!]

[Unlocked Hollow Technique: Purple Lv.1!]

[Unlocked Chanting!]

[Unlocked Black Flash Lv.1!]

[Unlocked New Shadow Style: Simple Domain Lv.1!]

[Unlocked Falling Blossom Emotion Lv.1!]

[Unlocked Domain Expansion: Unlimited Void Lv.1]

Boom!

The ground around Satoru cracked and dented as he felt his cursed energy change. If he had Satoru Gojo's cursed energy a second ago, Satoru now had unlocked the cursed energy that belonged to him, fusing the two.

"System, what happened?" Satoru asked in confusion as he felt his Cursed energy reserves increase drastically. It was at least 10 times bigger than Gojo's.

After completing a template, the host would gain a bonus on top of that. Host had his cursed energy created and then fused with Satoru Gojo's.]

"That's a welcome surprise, I guess," Satoru muttered under his breath, his infinity blocking the sounds from his mouth being heard. Nami was looking at Satoru as standing in the same spot.

"Are you okay, Satoru?" Nami asked, and Satoru came out of his thoughts as he turned around. Sensing his new abilities, Satoru flew into the air with Nami in one arm.

"Watch," Satoru instructed Nami as he pointed a finger towards the Arlong Park. 

'System, level up red to level 5. Then level up Hollow purple to level 2.' Satoru thought as he watched his exp points turn back to zero. But it was worth it.

[Ding!]

[Reversal: Red Lv.5!]

[Hollow Technique: Purple Lv.2!]

Boom!

The atoms in the sky seemed to explode as purple lightning appeared around Satoru and Nami. A pressure that could be felt all over the island descended.

Nami's eyes dilated as Purple lightning flared around her. She watched as a blue and red energy emerged beside each other. 

The two orbs got closer and began to twist as they fused, causing the lightning to increase. Space distorted into a spiral as a purple energy rushed forward.

Boom!

The purple ball of energy rushed forward without resistance, carving the entire Arlong Park and beyond into a massive gaping hole. Space was ripped apart in Hollo Purple's way, atomising the place.

Crackle!

Remains of purple lightning flickered on the immense damage left on the land and the sea. The clouds in the sky turned dim as they gathered, ready to pour rain.

Satoru was silent as, for the first time, an emotion filled his eyes. His mouth curled into a smile as he looked down at his hands. So this was the requirement to get emotion out of him?

Satoru had never felt an emotion similar to the one he was feeling currently; it was like knowing that the lives of everyone around you were in your hands. 

A light pinch and you could end anyone he desired, becoming uncontested in his way.

"This feeling... not bad."
