Last Time
"Well it all started when I woke up," Arashi then started to tell his story about how he woke up and how he met Deus and Murmur.
Now
"Now that is a crazy story," Robin said still trying to go over everything she just heard.
"That's so cool!" Luffy shouted.
"That is a lie," Nami said glaring.
"We met a guy who claimed he was a god, and was just some psycho, where is the proof? Where are those scrolls you're supposed to hunt?" Nami said not buying any of it.
Arashi's eyes widened, he never once thought that maybe Deus was a phony. He turned to Halo who looked thoughtful, "Halo...is there proof?" He asked the feeling in the air grew tense.
Halo seemed to smirk, "Of course there is my boy," He kneeled and his body glowed white till he shrunk into his claymore form. "Inside my handle is an Indiscriminant scroll, a January scroll, and also it will tell you the future of everything around you but remember this every scroll has a weakness. The January Diary's weakness will be that it says absolutely nothing about you." He informed them.
Arashi twisted the little dragon head at the end of the handle and out fell a holder with a gold cased item around it. "A gold case?" Arashi said taking the gold case out and reattaching the dragon head cover. The sword turned back into its dragon form, Arashi inspected it, and there was no way to open it.
"Here, see that mark on the top?" Halo said, the Straw Hat Pirates all leaned in to get a closer look. Arashi looked there was a button! "Press it, and it opens, revealing the future of all those around you." Arashi gulped and moved his thumb over it; did he want to know what the future held? He pressed his thumb against it.
"Iceberg! Franky we've caught something strange in our net!" Everyone jumped and Arashi sighed in relief, Frank have you seen Ice Berg?" He asked alarmed.
"No, but Stupidberg should be below deck resting up." Franky called back, "but what's in the net?"
"I don't know, I've yet so see something like this." He said and ran off out of their sight, Franky turned to them.
"Let's go see," He said and the other Straw Hats nodded. They rushed to the back where they've been pulling a net so they could bring fish back to Water Seven; the city was still in terrible shape thanks to Aqua Laguna.
Franky led them to the back of the boat while Halo had already be turned back to a sword and was in a sling tied to Arashi's back, he'd asked Ussop to create a sword holder later. When they got there, there was a mound of moving seaweed along with a few flopping fish.
"What is it?" Nami asked looking at it wit a little disgust.
"It's the swamp man I fought it when I was just a little kid, has he come back for round two!' King of Snipers challenged taking a kung fu pose.
"Really!" Chopper asked eyes glimmering, Arashi walked up to it and moved some of the sea weed to the side, it was a fishman, err fishwoman. She was unconscious, Arashi cleared the sea weed away revealing her whole body, and she must've been 9 years old.
"She is a fishwoman, or to be more accurate a fishgirl. She is Siamese Fighting Fish, a Rosetail type of Siamese Fighting Fish," Robin said closing a book that was titled, 'Types of Fish', "See the purple and red-violet scales, the fin on her back, her webbed hands and feet." Robin continued to point out distinct fish features. She had small sharp teeth, her hair was thick and long dark purple-black hair, it stretched down to her to mid back in a messy untamed style. The gills on her neck and shoulders were a deep illuminant purple. She stood at 4'8" and must've weighed less than 76 pounds along with her skinny and dainty build. Her clothes were nothing more rags; she wore a pair of tattered, torn and dirty, mud brown pants and a torn and ripped mud brown t-shirt.
"What is it?" Arashi asked looking at it confused.
"It's a fishwoman; this one appears to be a little fishgirl." Zolo said folding his arms, "Never seen one before?"
"None that I remember..." Arashi said crouching over her brushing her hair out of her face; she started to stir tightening her eyes closed. Arashi stood and backed up a little giving her space, the rest also back up leaving Arashi the closest still.
She slowly opened her eyes, "Wh-Where am I?" She asked looking around rubbing her eyes. A pair of shackles that had previously went unnoticed were now noticeable as the chains clinked together and the shackles on her ankles could be seen.
"Aboard my ship," Iceberg said walking through the straw hat pirates and Arashi. "Nice to meet you, my name is Iceberg." He smiled.
"Waah! Where am I, What time is it?" She panicked, Iceberg recoiled he'd never dealt with someone like this before.
"Dose OrquÃdea," Robin said making a mouth appear next to Icebergs ear, "Leave it to us." She said, Iceberg nodded and turned around, the fishgirl spotted the mouth next to his ear.
"D-Demons!" she said eyes wide and backed away from them tripping over one of the lead balls that were attached to the chain that was attached to the shackles on her ankles.
Nami crouched down to her level, "No, she's not a demon," She said trying to sooth her.
"Hey wanna join my crew?" Luffy asked using his gum gum fruit powers to get to the fishgirl faster.
"M-More demons!" She screamed and scrambled to her feet to get away from the scary demon.
"YOU IDIOT!" Nami screamed and punched Luffy hard across the face giving him a bruised cheek and black eye at the same time.
"Hey where did Arashi go?" Chopped pointed out looking around, he was gone.
The little fishgirl ran down the side of the boat, "I-I have to get away!" She said dodging everyone she could. That was until she made it to the bow of the boat, the very front. The white haired boy she saw with the demons was waiting for her there, she turned to run again.
"Please wait, I promise I'm harmless." He said holding his hands up for her to see.
"That big blade on your back doesn't look harmless!" She pointed at it accusingly, Arashi took it off his back and tossed it to the side and kicked it across the floor, he was following Halo's instructions so he hoped Halo didn't mind being dropped and kicked like that. She calmed down.
"What's you name," He asked leaning on the front bow.
"M...Murasaki, what's your name?" She asked imitating the solid look on Arashi's face, not showing emotion. It didn't work. She just made it look like a cute pout.
He chuckled, "Arashi Kami." He said with a grin, "And what you saw back there was no demon, she's a devil fruit user like me." He said.
"Wh-What you're like her?" She asked backing up a bit in fear. What's a Devil Fruit?
"We're not demons, we merely ate a special fruit that gave us different abilities and it even takes away our abilities to swim." He explained.
When he said, 'it even takes away our abilities to swim', her eyes widened. J-Just like me! D...Does that mean I have strange abilities too?
"W...What is your ability?" She asked, "Show me." She took a karate pose and rushed him, she wanted to see his ability and see if she could do her ability.
Arashi clenched his teeth, My Age-Age fruit isn't made for battle! She came in with a quick jab, he dodged to the side and tripped her, he smirked, she might be good later, but compared to what he faced against Murmur she was nothing! "That all you got?"
She gritted her teeth and glared, and ran at him again swinging a kick, the lead ball sailing toward him. He ducked and moved her leg again spinning her around faster then what she was used to, she rolled on the floor and bounced up clumsily to her feet. She kicked the sword to him and he caught it surprised, she grabbed him and threw him through the wall and into Iceberg's room.
Iceberg looked up from his desk, "Ah great! Are you here to try out for my next secretary?" He asked.
Arashi stood up and brushed some splinters off him, "Nope." He held Halo in his hand.
"Arashi its Halo, I can speak to you in your head, DO NOT get cocky and underestimate her like you've been doing so far. You'll get killed; she's stronger than she looks." Halo whispered to him.
Arashi nodded and crawled through the hole that looked like upside down outline of him; he looked and saw the Straw Hats restraining her, "Stop, we're sparing." Arashi said, as they all looked at him.
"I told you!" Murasaki yelled at them, they let her go and Arashi stabs his sword into the deck. He cracks his neck and waits, "Get ready! Fishman Karate, Twister Kick!" She quickly ran toward him, he anticipated a flying kick, but was surprised by the way she leapt to the side next to him, jumped up twisting around and aiming a kick for the back of his head.
Arashi ducked, caught her, and pushed her through the hole in the wall. He grabbed Halo and jumped on top of the wall, "No, I'm not here for the interview!" She said and crawled out of the hole and looked around, "Where is he..." She said, Arashi landed and with a quick chop to her jugular vein the blood rushed to her head and the shock knocked her unconscious.
"I win," He said looking into his shirt, she left a big bruise on his chest the shape of her fist, "She's strong."
"All fishmen are," Nami said thinking back to Arlong Park, not just Arlong, a lot of the fishmen where superhuman strong.
"Look there is Water Seven," Luffy shouted pointing at it
"Wow, it's...alright?" He asked looking at the destroyed water seven city.
