In honor of Shark Week, I have decided to write out five one-shots, each starring a shark-based character from Shonen Jump. First up, straight from the world of One Piece, Arlong the Saw!

-:-

Furious couldn't even describe what Arlong was feeling right now. Though he was still imprisoned, he had heard of the recent events that happened on Fishman Island. His old enemy Monkey D. Luffy had defeated Hody Jones and saved the entire island from the reign of the New Fishman Pirates. It wasn't the fact that Luffy was victorious that had Arlong furious though. It was Hody that had his cold blood boil.

Arlong may have hated humans, but it wasn't enough hate to make him attack his own kind like Hody did. When Arlong had heard that Hody even attacked Madame Shirley, Arlong's younger sister, it took Chew, Kuroobi, and other Fishman prisoners to keep Arlong from going on a rampage.

"If I ever meet up with Hody, I'll rip him to shreds!" said Arlong with a snarl.

"Calm down, Arlong-san! We know you want a piece of Hody for what he did to Shirley, but we're stuck in this prison," said Chew. "There's nothing we can do."

"Chew is unfortunately right, Arlong-san," said Kuroobi. "You also have to add the fact that Hody and his crew will most likely be kept in one of the prisons on Fishman Island."

Arlong let out a growl. Chew and Kuroobi were right. There was nothing he could do to Hody. Though he was angry, he was a little happy knowing that Shirley was still alive.

"What about Jinbei-Oyabun?" questioned the smelt-whiting fishman. "What will we do about him?"

Arlong let out another growl. Aside from hearing about Hody's actions and his defeat, Arlong had also heard that Jinbei had joined the Straw Hat Pirates. Apparently, Jinbei had joined them as a way to show that humans and fishmen could truly get along, much to Arlong's irritation. Arlong then gave his answer after much thought.

"…Nothing. If we take revenge on Jinbei-Oyabun for joining the Straw Hats or any human for that matter, we'll be no different than Hody. Jinbei-Oyabun is still one of us, a fishman, so we won't be doing anything to him."

His two subordinates seemed to accept this. They had too much respect for Jinbei and would never go against him, even if they were on different sides.

Arlong was one of my favorite villains from the series. Glad he got more of a back-story in recent chapters.

Speaking of recent chapters, I was surprised when it was revealed that Arlong and Shirley were siblings. I wonder what their childhood was like and I wonder what Arlong would really do if he heard that she got hurt by Hody.

As to Jinbei joining the Straw Hats, I wouldn't be surprised if he does after the current story arc.

Anyway, the next Shark Week one-shot will star Hoshigaki Kisame from Naruto; so if anyone's a fan of the blue-skinned Akatsuki member, keep an eye out for it.
