You can expand on your answer by adding some details to why this would create plot holes to better support the claim that he was killed in battle

This is false. In chapter 492 (i.e. prior to Luffy reching Impel Down) Hatchan confirms that Arlong, Chew, Kuroobi and himself were captured by the Marines after their defeat at Arlong Park.

<p>Luffy killed Arlong. It is confirmed by Hordy Jones that Arlong was killed by humans. Ironically Hordy Jones doesn't know Luffy is the one who killed Arlong. The Marines largely covered up everything good Luffy ever did because Luffy always seems to do the Marines job in stopping Arlong and Crocodile both warlords who should've had their status revoked and then arrested for their crimes but Luffy finally gets credit when he defeat Do Flamingo thanks to Fujitora's honorable actions during the Dressrosa Arc</p>

The claim that Luffy killed Arlong is just false. In chapter 492 Hatchan confirms that Arlong was **captured** by the marines after his defeat at Arlong Park.

<p>We currently have the following timeline of things happening to Arlong:</p>

<ol>
<li>Arlong gets beaten by Borsalino (Kizaru) and sent to Impel Down.</li>
<li>Arlong is released from Impel Down when Jinbe became a Shichibukai.</li>
<li>Arlong had a fight with Jinbe and started the <a href="http://onepiece.wikia.com/wiki/Arlong_Pirates" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Arlong Pirates</a> and went to East Blue and settled on <a href="http://onepiece.wikia.com/wiki/Conomi_Islands" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Cocoyasi Island</a>.</li>
<li>Luffy and crew follow Nami to Cocoyasi Island where Luffy beats up Arlong.</li>
<li>All of Arlong's crew get arrested (exception: <a href="http://onepiece.wikia.com/wiki/Hatchan" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Hatchan</a>) by marines.</li>
</ol>

<p>I skipped a large chunk between points 3 and 4 because it's irrelevant. You can find all of Arlong's history <a href="http://onepiece.wikia.com/wiki/Arlong#History" rel="nofollow noreferrer">here</a>.</p>

<p>At point 5 when they got arrested you would assume that he would have been sent to Impel Down again, but it is futher unknown what has happened to Arlong as it hasn't been shown or told in the anime or manga. </p>

<p>He was a known member of Fisher Tiger's crew and became a merciless dictator in East Blue. He had the highest bounty in East Blue at the time, and when Borsalino captured him, he was sent to Impel Down. So why was he not there during the big jail break? </p>

<p>I doubt he got left behind, because Buggy did most of the freeing of prisoners.</p>

Why wasn't Arlong in Impel Down during the Impel Down Saga?

We currently have the following timeline of things happening to Arlong:

1. Arlong gets beaten by Borsalino (Kizaru) and sent to Impel Down.
2. Arlong is released from Impel Down when Jinbe became a Shichibukai.
3. Arlong had a fight with Jinbe and started the [Arlong Pirates](http://onepiece.wikia.com/wiki/Arlong_Pirates) and went to East Blue and settled on [Cocoyasi Island](http://onepiece.wikia.com/wiki/Conomi_Islands).
4. Luffy and crew follow Nami to Cocoyasi Island where Luffy beats up Arlong.
5. All of Arlong's crew get arrested (exception: [Hatchan](http://onepiece.wikia.com/wiki/Hatchan)) by marines.

I skipped a large chunk between points 3 and 4 because it's irrelevant. You can find all of Arlong's history [here](http://onepiece.wikia.com/wiki/Arlong#History).

At point 5 when they got arrested you would assume that he would have been sent to Impel Down again, but it is futher unknown what has happened to Arlong as it hasn't been shown or told in the anime or manga.
