Chapter Three: The Battle at Arlong Park Continues! The Luffy Pirates Fight!

Everyone looked in shock at what just happened. Arlong, the leader of the fishman and terrorizer of the Conomi Islands was just sent flying into the walls of Arlong Park by a young teen. WIth one punch! Some of the fishmen snapped out of their shock and charged at the dark haired teen.

"You bastard!"

"How dare you do that to Arlong!"

"Let's get him!"

A bunch of fishman who jumped out of the water, intent on killing the teen then and there when a series of kicks knocked them out of the way. "Back off, you're all out of your league." Sanji said as he walked up besides Luffy. "Jezz, you had to go running in all by yourself."

"Don't worry I can handle these clowns on my own." Luffy said as he stared at Arlong.

"Baka!" Sanji said as Zoro, Usopp and Gin walked towards them. "We're not worried about you, we just don't want you to hog all the action."

"U-Uh, I don't actually mind if you guys hog them all." Usopp said sweating a little.

"I see you're raring to go as usual." Zoro said as he walked in front of Ussop with Gin following.

"Can that long nose even fight?" Gin asked Zoro as the swordsman didn't answer him.

"Huh? Hey, that's him! The swordsman from earlier I was telling you guys about!" Hachi said as he pointed at Zoro. "That bastard tricked me, he got me look, sine and hinker. No wait...hook, line and sinker." he corrected himself.

"Hey look, it's that long nosed guy!" One of the fishmen pointed out as Hachi freaked out.

"WHAT?! BUT WE SAW NAMI KILL HIM!"

"If he's alive then that means…" Chew said as Kuroobi finished for him.

"That I was right all along. That bitch Nami is a traitor." he snarled. The villagers looked at the scene with shock before they snapped out of it.

"W-Who are these guys?" one of the villagers asked out loud.

"Hold it." Johnny and Yosaku said as they held up their swords blocking the entrance.

"That guy just sent Arlong flying into the wall with one punch." Dr. Nako said with his jaw dropped.

"No human should be able to do that!" Genzo said in awe as Nojiko looked watched with wide eyes.

"Now do you people know why we are keeping you all out of the fight?" Yosaku asked.

"If you all barge in there you will only get in their way." Johnny finished before Genzo spoke up.

"But why are they fighting them? What possible reason could they have to fight?"

"A reason? Those fishmen made Big Sis Nami Cry!" Johnny said seriously.

"Do they need any more reason to put their lives on the line for a Nakama?" Yosaku said just as serious.

"A pirate, eh? I see, so that's you relation to her." Arlong said as he moved out of the rubble. "I thought you were all some of Nami's victims, but your just after her for your crew aren't you? Shahahaha! To bad she's with me, what are six measly humans like you going to do about it?"

"You idiots aren't even worth Arlong's time." Hachi said walking over chuckling. "He'll be enough to deal with you." he then faced the ocean and made a trumpet sound with his mouth. The villagers and Usopp started getting scared as the ground started to rumble as the water in Arlong Park started to rise and the sea cow Mohmoo appeared with a lump on his head.

"Oh, it's just him." Luffy said as Mohmoo stopped and looked towards him and Sanji.

"So he's with the fishmen?" Sanji asked as Mohmoo remembered what the two pirates did to him and started swimming away.

"WAIT, MOHMOO! Where are you going? Come back!" Hachi yelled as he waved his arms around. Arlong calmly looked at Mohmoo's retreating form.

"Mohmoo, leaving so soon? That's a shame." he said as the sea cow stopped and widened its eyes in fear. "But if you're running away I won't stop you, right?" he finished with a sinister grin. Mohmoo floated there for a while before he became wild and charged back at the intruders with the fishmen backing him up.

Luffy and his crew all got ready as Usopp kept screaming 'I'm sorry' while running back and forth as the sea cow and fishmen got closer.

"This won't end good." Zoro said as he began to draw his sword for the oncoming fishmen.

"Tell me about it." Gin said as he prepared his tonfa tipped with heavy iron balls on the end and began to swing them around in circles.

"AHHHH! You're mine you stupid cow!" Luffy said smaking his fists together. He then stomped his feet into the ground up to his ankles.

"Looks like he's got a plan, for once." Sanji said looking at Luffy.

"I've got a bad feeling about this." Zoro said with his hand on his chin.

"It's probably right." Naruto said as Zoro looked at him.

"Who are you?" Sanji and Naruto sweat dropped as he only just noticed him. Luffy waited until the fishmen had gotten close enough and spun around a few times before he stretched his arms out and grabbed a now crying Mohmoo's horns.

"What the-"

"His arms stretched!?" one of the fishmen shouted.

"He possesses Devil Fruit powers?" Arlong exclaimed as Luffy began pulling on Mohmoo.

"We should get away from here now!" Naruto shouted as he grabbed Usopp and Gin's shoulders.

"Why, what's he gonna do?" Sanji asked.

"Nothing good now run!" Naruto said they all moved away from the rubber man.

"Alright! Take this. Gum Gum...Pinwheel!" Luffy shouted as he started spinning with Mohmoo in his hands and destroying Arlong's building along with the fishmen around him. When he was finished he let go of Mohmoo's horn and threw him out of Arlong park and into the ocean beyond.

"Alright Arlong that's it! I didn't come here to beat all your cronies…" Luffy said panting a little before he pointed at Arlong. "I came here to beat YOU! Now get up!" he exclaimed.

Arlong just sat there shaking in rage as his eyes were shadowed. "How perfect. I was just thinking about how much pain you will be in when I kill you." he said calmly as he gazed at Luffy.

"That was the worst plan ever!" Sanji yelled beside Luffy as he lightly kicked him in the head.

"Yeah, were you trying to kill all of us too?" Usopp yelled at Luffy. in the background Naruto sighed as he facepalmed.

"I guess some people really don't change. What a pain." Naruto grumbled as Zoro leaned towards Gin.

"So who is this guy and how does he know Luffy?"

"He's Luffy's older brother." Gin answered.

"Really? He's Luffy's brother? Luffy has a brother?" Zoro asked in shock.

"I'm right here you know, you can just ask me." Naruto said annoyed that people were talking about him behind his back, literally.

"Such destructive power…" Genzo said in awe.

"I can't believe there's a human that exists that can throw that giant monster!" the doctor said.

"It's as if the Gods themselves are fighting."

Back with Luffy he was fidgeting around in his spot and swayed from side to side. "What are you doing now!?" Usopp asked/yelled. "Are you trying to ruin something else?"

"Do you even have to ask that after what he just did?" Gin asked.

"How dare you hurt our brothers." Hachi said as he knelt down to one of the injured fishmen.

"Looks like we will have to get our hands dirty now." Kuroobi said as he gazed at the humans in front of him.

"I think we need to teach them the difference between our species, chu." Chew exclaimed

"Arlong sir, please let us handle this." Kuroobi said.

"If you went on one of your rampages now you could destroy all of Arlong Park, chu."

"PLEASE JUST LET US KILL THESE WEAKLINGS!" Hachi yelled. Naruto frowned at Hachi's behaviour and wondered what happened to his old friend.

"Okay, do whatever you want." Arlong said with his head resting on his chin.

"Uh, guys. There's something I should tell you." Luffy said from his spot. Hachi took a deep breath as his stomach started to expand.

"What the hell is that octopus doing?" Zoro asked as Sanji took a drag from his cigarette and smiled.

"Octopus is best when it's cut thin and salted, add some olive oil and paprika and it make a perfect snack while drinking."

"Why do I get the feeling that you're planning on cooking him?" Gin asked with a sweatdrop.

"With White Wine?" Naruto asked.

"Don't encourage him!"

"So listen to me guys I'm kind of in trouble." Luffy waved his hand in the air trying to get any of their attention.

"Take this! Zero Vision! Hachi Ink Jet!" Everyone's eyes widened as the saw the octopus spit out a torrent of ink and dodged it as it hit Luffy dead center.

"You moron! How come you didn't dodge that?" Zoro yelled/asked as Luffy screamed about him not seeing anything.

"Don't just stand there Luffy, run!" Usopp shouted from behind a pillar.

"Yeah, that's just the problem. I can't move my legs. I think there stuck." Luffy said as he tried to pull his legs out of the ground.

"YOU'RE THE ONE WHO STUCK THEM IN THE GROUND IN THE FIRST PLACE!" Usopp and Gin yelled as Hachi walked over with a piece of the roof that Luffy broke off earlier and stood in front of Luffy.

"One Hachi Ink Jet served on the rocks!" Hachi exclaimed throwing the roof down on Luffy as he cleared the ink out of his eyes just in time to see it come down on him. Arlong and his men looked with smirks on their faces.

"Oi, oi." A voice from under the roof said as it slowly rose up. Everyone looked wide eyed as it rose off the ground and Naruto stood in the middle with one hand holding it up in the air with a bored look on his face. "Jeez, how on earth did you manage to get a crew with how you behave?"

"To be honest we are still figuring it out ourselves." Sanji said.

"Same here." Zoro and Gin said.

"Luffy's great...hey!" Usopp said a little angered with with what they said about his captain. Naruto took this time to chuck the large concrete structure into the water and cleared the dust off his hands.

"But I got to admit, you guys picked right in choosing Luffy for a captain. He won't let anything happen to a Nakama." Naruto said.

"You're right there. To be perfectly honest it's better to have a captain like him who knows how to properly treat a lady." Sanji said smirking as he looked at the fishmen.

"A lady?" Kuroobi scoffed. "You rushed into certain death for one lousy girl? That's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard!" Sanji and Naruto glared at the ray fishman as the chief removed his cigarette from his mouth and knocked off some ash.

"Lousy girl? You should watch what you say fishman or i'll turn you into fish sticks, ya got that?" Sanji said in a dangerous tone as he pointed his cigarette at Kuroobi.

"I'm sure you've got some skill human, but chivalry from a pirate seems a little fake." Kuroobi said as he crossed his arms over his chest.

"Why don't you come and see if my chivalry is fake or not?" Sanji said as he put the cigarette back in his mouth and had a staredown with the fishman. Meanwhile Usopp was busy trying to get Luffy out of the concrete by pulling him but wasn't having any luck.

"Don't tell me that you're still stuck?" Usopp asked.

"Yep, still stuck here. You can pull all day but I don't think they'll come out." Luffy said as he started picking his nose with his pinky.

"Are you even trying to get free of do you want to stay stuck!?" Usopp yelled/asked. Hachi watch them as he picked up another piece of the broken roof.

"Maybe no one told you, but the penalty for playing around in Arlong Park...IS DEATH!" Hachi yelled as Usopp started running.

"AHHHH! Get unstuck, get unstuck, please get unstuck!"

"Oi, octopus." Zoro stopped Hachi before he could throw the roof. "Those two are a bit busy at the moment. I'll be your opponent." he finished as he pointed his sword at him.

"Nyu, Roronoa Zoro! I forgot about you. How dare you trick me!" Hachi yelled as he brought the roof down on Zoro as the swordsman dodged by jumping in the air and landing a few feet away from him. "And how dare you mercilessly slaughter so many of my brothers!"

"That's old news octopus-freak." Zoro said as he turned around and faced Hachi. "I don't care what you reason to kill me is things have changed. You fishmen aren't the ones who will kill us, it's we who will kill YOU!."

"Phew, good one Zoro." Usopp said wiping sweat from his forehead with his free arm. "That octopus guy is yours, nice." he said as he gave a thumbs up with his other hand...letting go of Luffy in the process. "Ahh crap! Luffy!" he shouted as Luffy stretched back.

But because of his rubber body he went over the spot he was in and hit Chew in the process and knocked him down.

"Oh, you're back." Naruto commented at Luffy.

"So it seems." Luffy said as he swayed back and forth a little.

Chew slowly got up and glared at Usopp as he was sweating and crying. "You're dead." Chew said.

"I'm sorry." Usopp said weakly as he slowly turned around and ran away screaming.

"Get back here!" Chew shouted as he ran after him but stopped when he saw the villagers with weapons in their hands. "Aren't you people from Cocoyashi Village? Judging from your weapons I can assume that this is a rebellion. I guess I have no choice but to-"

"Exploding Star!"

Chew didn't get to finish his sentence as he was hit with an exploding pellet and covered in flames.

"Did you really think it would be that easy?" Usopp said...a fair distance away. "Your opponent, is ME!"

"If you want to die that badly," Chew said as he got back on his feet. "I'll do it right now!"

"KYAAAA!" Usopp shrieked as he ran away with Chew hot on his heels.

"You might want to go after him, he could get in big trouble." Naruto said to Gin as he sighed.

"You're right, I'll come back with him in one piece when we're done." Gin said as he ran after the two and left Naruto and Luffy without an opponent to face.

"This is getting ridiculous." Arlong spoke up as he started walking over to the group. "This is getting boring. I just can't stand watching."

"But sir, there's no reason to go on a rampage. Think of Arlong Park." Kuroobi said in an attempt to calm Arlong down.

"I know. I just thought of a fun new game is all." Arlong said so Kuroobi wouldn't worry and walked towards Luffy.

"There you are, now you're MINE!" Luffy yelled as he went to punch Arlong but the fishman cocked his head to the side and grabbed his stretched arm.

"Do you humans seriously think that you can win against us?" Arlong asked.

"So what if we do?" Naruto asked as he watched Arlong carefully.

Everyone watched as Arlong dug his hand into the ground near Luffy and proceeded to lift the still encased Luffy above his head and had an evil grin on his face.

"Did you know that people who possess Devil Fruit power can't swim? But in any situation you would just sink right to the bottom regardless! Shahahaha!" Arlong laughed as Zoro, Sanji and Naruto widened their eyes.

'He's planning to throw him in the ocean!' They all thought as Luffy tried to hit Arlong again but the fishman caught it with his mouth and bit down on it.

"OUCH!" Luffy screamed out in pain as Arlong continued to smirk.

"Fool." Arlong said as he prepared to throw Luffy into the sea when he was hit in the side by Naruto and hit bokken.

"Let him go!" Naruto roared.

"You should be careful what you say!" Arlong shouted as he let go of Luffy...and threw him towards the ocean.

"LUFFY!"

"HELP!"

SLASH!

Luffy hit the water just outside of the park as Arlong started to laugh. Sanji ran up to jump in when he was stopped by Zoro.

"What are you doing? We've got to save Luffy!" Sanji asked.

"I know but if you just jump in there you will just fall into their trap. They will have the advantage in an underwater fight." Zoro explained as Sanji gritted his teeth before turning to Naruto.

"Can't you go in and get him while he distract Arlong and his men?"

"Sorry to say that won't be happening anytime soon. Luffy isn't the only one of us that ate a Devil Fruit, I would just sink like him a few moments after being in the ocean." Naruto said as he gripped his bokken and glared at Arlong. "The best we can do is hope Luffy holds out until we beat these guys."

"He's right. We have to finish these guys fast then one of us will go after Luffy, it's the only way." Zoro said as he unsheathed his sword. "Let's go."

"Right."

Arlong smirked as he heard them planning. "Just how long do you think that rubber boy will last? The clock's ticking."

"Oh, so that's the game!" Hachi exclaimed

"I see." Kuroobi said as both fishmen stood across from the three pirates.

"You can take the fish." Zoro said to Sanji.

"And you can slice and trim the octopus." Sanji said with his cigarette in his mouth.

"And I'll make some Shark Sashimi with the bastard over there." Naruto said as he cracked his knuckles and looked at Arlong. "Let's go!" he said as they all rushed at their opponents.

"I'll kick his ass in 5 seconds flat!" Zoro shouted.

"We don't have more than 3." Sanji said.

"Don't be in such a hurry to meet your ends. No matter what happens…" Kuroobi said as he moved his arm and blocked Sanji's kick with his fin. "You're not going to leave this place alive!"

"Hachi Ink Jet!" Hachi sprayed another stream of ink at Zoro as he dodged to the side and ran up to the octopus.

'Just hold on! Luffy!' Zoro thought as he swung his sword at the octopus fishman.

"Arlong!" Naruto yelled as he neared the fishman and raised his fist in the air.

"Pathetic." Arlong said as Naruto's fist came down and covered both of them in dust.


Marshlands

"AHHHHH!" Usopp yelled as he kept running away as Chew was still on his tail.

"You won't get away!" Chew yelled as Usopp screamed more.

'I'M DOOMED!' Usopp thought.

Not that far away Gin was still running to catch up to them as he stopped for a breather.

"Damnit, how fast can they both run?" Gin asked as he continued running after his new crew member and fishman.


Arlong Park

"I'm going to beat your ass real quick octopus!" Zoro said as he swung his sword at Hachi as the fishman ducked but got some of his hair cut off.

"NYU! My hair, you bastard!" Hachi exclaimed as he looked at Zoro angrily. "But that's okay, it's only hair. It'll grow back." he said calming down. "Now then Roronoa Zoro, you can't beat me. I have six hands that will mesmerize you." he waved his arms around as Zoro got annoyed.

"SHUT UP!" Zoro said as he charged at the octopus.

"Hachi's-Triple-Sword-Catch! Now-you will-see my-skills!" Hachi boasted as he clapped his hands together in an effort to catch Zoro's single sword but missed. "Ow! That Hurt!" Hachi cried with some blood running down his face.

"I don't have time to play around with you!" Zoro said panting, and sweating a little.

Sanji momentarily looked over to Zoro and saw the state that he was in. 'Is he still hurt?'

"Lose focus and you'll lose your life!" Kuroobi exclaimed as he sliced at Sanji with his fin but the chef leaned back and dodged it.

"A fish shouldn't fight back against the cook!" Sanji said as he threw some kicks at the fishman only for him to block all of them.

"Damn it, we're running out of time." Zoro said weakly before charging at Hachi again. "Why don't you die?!" He tried to slice Hachi but the octopus jumped up and grabbed the pillar behind him with his arms.

"To bad...Hachi Suckers...are stuck." Hachi taunted as he as he clung to the top of the puller...upside down.

"…."

"…."

"Don't just stick there, get down here and fight!" Zoro yelled at Hachi as he just smirked at Zoro. "Damn coward."

With the Villagers

"That damn octopus, he's just trying to waist time." Johnny said as he looked towards Zoro.

"But if we go into the water now they will just drag us down to the bottom of the sea and we'll drown." Yosaku said.

"If we just sit here and do nothing then Big Bro Luffy will drown for sure!"

"We've got to think of a way to help him." Yosaku said as Johnny nodded.

"Hold up!" Genzo spoke up, patting them on their backs causing them to react in pain. "What good are the two of you gonna do in the sea when you can barely walk."

The two bounty hunters leaned forward and bowed down. "If you're both trying to think of a way to save that young man, then I believe I'm that should volunteer before any of you." Genzo said.

"You-You'll save him?" Johnny asked.

"His survival could be the key to winning this fight. If we don't save him then we could lose."

"Genzo." One of the villagers said before they started volunteering to go along with him.

"I'll go alone. The fishmen might suspect something if we go as such a large crowd. We don't want to interfere with their fight." Genzo declared as he turned towards the ocean.

"Hold on!" Nojiko shouted as he was carrying a mallet with her. "I'm going with you. Those guy are fighting for Nami's life, I can't just stay here and do nothing."

Genzo stared at her for a moment before nodding his head and rushing off with her to save Luffy.

Underwater

'Damn it! I'm running out of air!' Luffy thought as he was holding his mouth in an attempt to stop any air from getting out.

Zoro vs. Hachi and Sanji vs. Kuroobi

Zoro, who was still panting, looked up to Hachi stuck to the top of the pillar as the fishman looked at with questioningly.

"Hey, there's a question I've been meaning to ask you Zoro. I heard you were famous for your Three Sword Style, so why are you only using one?" Hachi asked confused.

"You're running scared with one so why do I need three?" Zoro said in an attempt to mock him.

"Shut up! I've just been playing around with you. Truth is human swordsmen can beat me, I could tell you why but I think it would be better to show you." Hachi said with a grin.

'Damn it! I can't fight back the pain.' Zoro thought as he began to feel light headed. 'And my fever's getting worse. I thought I could walk it off but...' he finished as he began to wobble. Everyone looked at him in surprise.

"Crap. I thought so, you still hasn't recovered yet….from you fright with 'Hawk Eye'." Sanji said looking at Zoro.

"Hmph, I'm not stupid. I won't fall for the old injured animal routine. That's for children." Hachi said as he began to climb up the pillar. "Be right back, time for you to see what my true skills really are!"

He then went on the undamaged part of the roof and climbed through a window. Everyone then looked at the same part of the building exploded multiple times and debris flew everywhere before Hachi came out again and put his back to the wall breathing heavily.

"Wow, it's a madhouse in there." Hachi said and he moved towards the ledge of the roof. "But besides that I got what I needed. Now, prepare to tremble at Hachi's fearsome Six Sword Style!" he said as he waved his blades around in the air as Zoro just collapsed.

"Hey! You're not supposed to die yet! I haven't even killed you!" Hachi yelled at Zoro.

"No! Zoro!" Yosaku yelled.

"I knew it, he's been enduring it all this time!" Johnny exclaimed.

"So true. All of those wound on his body would kill any normal person but he tries to fight anyway." Yosaku said as the doctor looked at them.

"What'd you say!?" he asked/yelled. Zoro was panting on the ground as Sanji cured at his condition.

"I thought it was strange he could just walk around like nothing happened after a fight like that. He's laid out flat-" He didn't finish what he was saying when he sensed something. He turned around only for Kuroobi's fist to hit his stomach and send him flying through the wall of Arlong Park and land a couple of meters away.

"I told you to pay attention to me you weakling. I'm a 40th don in Fishman Karate!" Kuroobi said with his arm stretched out.

"Brother cook!" Yosaku and Johnny yelled.

"These humans sure made quite the mess here." Kuroobi commented as he looked around the park. He then looked towards Hachi. "Hey Hachi, have you seen Arlong?" he asked as the octopus fishman widened his eyes.

"Oh! That's right! Arlong is inside the building right now fighting!" Hachi said in panic.

"What? If he continues to fight in there the park will be destroyed. Who is he fighting?" Kuroobi asked.

"He's fighting-"

CRASH!

Kuroobi and Hachi looked up to see something fly out of the roof of the building and land a couple of feet away from them and widened their eyes at who they saw.

"ARLONG!" They yelled in shock.

"Yezz, keep it down." Naruto's voice called out as everyone looked towards the entrance of the building to see the blond walking out with one bokken in hand and rubbing his neck. "I thought for a moment there I would be finished and have a nap."

"You! What did you do to Arlong?" Hachi asked his old friend.

"Hmm, what does it look like? I was kicking his ass." Naruto said.

"You bastard." Kuroobi said as he ran up to Naruto. "How dare you do that to Arlong!" he yelled as he tried to hit his head but the blond ducked down into a stance that reminded the fishman of a toad and shadowed his eyes with his hat.

"Frog Strike." Naruto whispered as he delivered a powerful open-handed strike to Kuroobi's mid-section and made him cough up blood.

'What!? That was...' the fishman thought before he was sent flying back towards Hachi.

"Nyu! Kuroobi!" Hachi screamed as he checked on his brother.

"I don't have time to deal with small fry like him." Naruto said as he gazed at Kuroobi before looking towards Arlong. "I hope you're not done yet ya shark bastard! I haven't even given you a proper beat down yet."

"Nyu! Naruto! You will pay for what you did!" Hachi yelled as Naruto raised his bokken.

"Hey octopus." Both Naruto and Hachi looked over to see Zoro standing up with one hand on his knee and looking down. "Your fight is with me."

"You're not dead?!" Hachi said in shock.

"Let me make one thing clear you, you sorry excuse for a swordsman." Zoro said. "There's a certain man I need to face, and until I see him...death himself cannot touch me!" he said as he raised his head and glared at the octopus.

Naruto looked at Zoro and smirked at the swordsman's determination and wondered who he was talking about but shrugged it off.

"He's still alive!" The doctor yelled as everyone looked to see Sanji walking back into Arlong park with a new cigarette and didn't look fazed by the fishman's earlier punch.

"That fish bastard's punch was all he could do?" Sanji said as he breathed out some smoke. "The old man's kicks would have been a 400th don in that case. And I didn't even die." he commented.

Back with the swordsmen, Hachi was standing ready with all six swords in hands and Zoro took his bandana from around his arm and tied it around his head as he put his sword in his mouth.

"What's wrong with you Zoro? You seem to be suffering on your own." Hachi said as he looked at the swordsman.

"Just shut up and mind your own business, you bottom feeder." Zoro said seriously.

"Nyu!"

"Johnny! Yosaku! Lend me your swords!" He yelled/asked them.

"Of course!" They both yelled as they threw their swords towards Zoro. "Catch Big Bro!"

'Tch. I don't know how much longer I can last.' Zoro thought as his vision became blurry.

"HAH! Now I'll show you why simple two handed humans can never beat me! Six Swords Style-Tentacle Sword Overload!" Hachi yelled as he waved his swords around while charging at Zoro.

"Big Bro!" Yosaku and Johnny yelled. Just before Hachi struck, Zoro caught both swords and used them to block Hachi's attacks while twisting his body around before cutting Hachi's stomach with the third sword.

"Three Swords Style…" Zoro said as he stood behind Hachi with steaming swords. "Streaming Wolf Swords!" They both stood there for a moment before Hachi screamed in pain and blood flew from his chest.

"NYU~!"

"He countered the six swords style!" Yosaku and Johnny yelled.

'Those movements were flawless, no wasted energy whatsoever.' Naruto thought as he looked at the panting Zoro. 'Amazing. He will become a great swordsman one day.' he finished as Hachi turned around and showed an 'X' shaped cut on his chest.

"Grrr, how dare you cut me like that! Now I'm really mad, I'll kill ya bastard!" Hachi yelled. "There's no way you'll survive my next attack! You just got lucky is all, you'll never beat my six swords with your three!"

"That's a big mistake." Zoro said with his eyes shadowed. He then turned around and glared at the octopus fishman. "Three swords...six swords...it doesn't matter! You may have more swords than me, but mine will always carry more weight than yours!"

Hachi stared at him for a second before speaking up. "Weight you say?" he asked. "It may not look like it, but my sword weight about 300 kg each. They're much heavier than any human swords."

"I meant the burden of-oh forget it." Zoro said with a sweatdrop.

"Take this! Six Swords Style, Octopus Pot Stance!" Hachi brought the tips of his swords together and charged at Zoro. "New Year's!"

Zoro blocked him with all three sword as Hachi smirked. "Open!" Hachi yelled as he split their swords apart and continued charging. "Body Slam!" he headbutted him on his wounds and sent him into the air.

"Cheap shot!" Yosaku shouted.

'Disgraceful swordsmanship Hachi.' Naruto thought as he saw Hachi run after Zoro.

"You'll never touch the ground alive!" Hachi yelled as he brought his swords over his head and started spinning them like a fan blade. "Waltz of the Six Swords! Turn into mincemeat!"

"Oh no! If he touches those he's done for!" Johnny said as Zoro fell on the rotating blades and started spinning. Kuroobi and a now awake Arlong watched with smirks as they watched Zoro turn to shreds.

"AHHH!" Hachi screamed in pain as Zoro landed in front of him, leaning on one leg with one sword behind his back and the other in front of him. "Damn it! First you rolled and dodged my tentacle sword overload, then you slice and dice my hands up like some cheap sushi chef? How dare you make a mockery out of me! You'll pay for that you sonuvabitch!"

As Hachi was yelling Zoro, who had his back turned, was breathing heavily and stumbled a little.

"That last attack probably opened up his wounds again." the doctor with the villagers commented as they all saw the state Zoro was in.

'Even if this wound would kill a normal man...I am not aloud to fail.' Zoro thought as he stood up straight.

"Six Swords Style, Octopus Pot Stance! Time to die Zoro!" Hachi exclaimed as he charged at Zoro again.

'My body cannot feel pain...it must not.'

"New Year's!"

'If I'm ever going to face Hawk Eyes again...I MUST BE EXTRAORDINARY!' "Dragon...Twister!" Zoro yelled. He spun his swords to create a dragon-like tornado that broke Hachi's swords, slashed him and sent him into the air. "Now do you see the weight I carry on my swords, octopus?"

'How...I lost...to three swords!' Hachi thought before he hit the ground unconscious. All the villagers looked in disbelief as a human defeated on of the fishmen while Arlong and Kuroobi looked pissed.


Cocoyashi Village

Nami was back home bandaging the stab wound she gave herself after the villagers had left for Arlong Park and was now wearing Luffy's straw hat on her head as she wiped away some tears.

'No more crying, and no more whining.' she thought to herself as he grabbed her staff and ran towards Arlong Park. 'I've got to go! They're all fighting for me!'


Marshlands

"What a wimp." Chew said as he looked down at a bleeding Usopp. "All it took was one blast from my Squirt Gun to finish him. I guess it's time to head back now, they've probably kill his friends anyway." Chew said as he started to walk away.

A 'dead' Usopp smirked as he heard the fishman walking away. 'Hehehe, it worked. I'm so glad I made the Ketchup Star for these occasions.' Usopp thought as he watched Chew walk away. 'These Fishmen are too powerful, I don't even know what I'm doing here.' When Chew was a safe distance away Usopp sat up.

Chew stopped for a moment and looked back at Usopp to see him on the ground again. "Hmm, must have been my imagination." he said as he kept walking.

'I'll gladly hide from death, death is scary!' Usopp thought as he sat up once again. 'I'm covered in fake blood but I need to look a little more beat up, like I thought bravely. I know! Maybe if I get myself dirty then it'll seem more realistic.' He then began to rub some dirt on his arm.

"But what to say? Maybe: 'Oh! Sorry I got lost.'. Yeah that's good. No, 'I did my best but he got me!', or 'I got so close to the bastard but he got away!'. That sounds better." As he kept rubbing the dirt on thoughts of his friends and the villagers flashed through his mind.

"We're Nakama aren't we? So get on."

"or 'Don't cry Nami, we all did our best!'"

"I'd rather die than be defeated!"

"Or…'We all each fought bravely!'"

"To be perfectly honest it's better to have a captain like him who knows how to properly treat a lady."

"Maybe...'It was a deadly situation.'"

"For the sake of my own ambitions, this was my only choice!"

"O-Or...'My wounds are that serious...'"

"A reason? Those fishmen made Big Sis Nami Cry!...Do they need any more reason to put their lives on the line for a Nakama?"

"You guys picked right in choosing Luffy as a captain. He won't let anything happen to a Nakama."

"Can you imagine how hard it's been for her?"

"WE SHALL FIGHT!"

Usopp stared down at the ground as the images of Kaya, Carrot, Onion and Pepper came onto his mind and tried to hold back his tears.

'I'm so pathetic! Time to stop being a coward!' Usopp thought as he stood up, wiped his eyes, and glared in Chew's direction. "STOP RIGHT THERE, YOU FISH FREAK!" he shouted. Chew stopped in his tracks which made Usopp jump in fright.

"Oh? You're still alive? Chu!" Chew said as he looked back at Usopp with a board glare.

"That's right, big lips! It'll take more than some spit to take care of me!" Usopp yelled as he searched for something in his satchel. 'When I left home, I left everything behind. Peace. Safety.' Usopp thought as he took his Ginga Pachinko out. 'When you live your life on the edge, you savor every moment. That's why they're able to laugh so much.'

He aimed his slingshot at Chew as the fishman started running towards him. 'That's the reason I went to sea. I wanna laugh that way too!' He pulled his slingshot back and aimed at the fishman. 'But if I don't fight with everything I got, then there's no way I deserve to be on the same ship as them!' "AND I'LL NEVER BE ABLE TO FACE MY FRIENDS AGAIN!" He shouted as he shot an Exploding Star and hit Chew.

The fishman lunged through the exploding star and punched Usopp straight in the face, smacking his head into the ground before flipping and landing a few feet from a bleeding Usopp lying on the ground.

"Fool. You were better off pretending to be dead. I guess you're a little slow in the head. Chu." Chew said.

"Is it...over already?" Usopp asked bleeding on the ground.

"Yeah, it is! Just like you are!" Chew said as he kicked Usopp.

"Stop it!" Usopp said as he went through his bag again. "Usopp Hammer!" he shouted as he smashed his hammer in Chew's shin. The fishman flinched in pain as Usopp stood up. "Usopp's Rubber Band of Doom!" he shouted, making Chew flinch.

The fishman waited for a second for the pain to come but didn't feel anything and opened his eyes, only to see the Usopp had disappeared.

"AH! Shit! Where did that stupid son of a bitch go?" Chew shouted before he turned red with embarrassment. "Why that li'l bastard!"


Arlong Park

"Hachi!" Arlong said in disbelief and anger at seeing his brother knocked out on the ground, beaten by a mere human. Zoro was panting on the ground with his sword sheathed before Kuroobi stood over him with his fist raised.

"How dare you do that to Hachi?!" he said as he was about to bring his fist down on Zoro until he was kicked by Sanji and skidded back a little. "You!"

"Yeah, you thought you'd gotten rid of me that easily, eh?" Sanji said with a smirk.

"I'm impressed. I didn't know there was anyone in all of the East Blue who could stand back up after one of my punches!" Kuroobi said staring at Sanji as the chef smiled.

"Oh, I know a whole bunch, at a certain restaurant I know of. Wanna go?" He asked with a big grin.

"I don't think so."

Naruto watched the confrontation as he helped Zoro to his feet.

"Stand back! I'm fine!" Zoro pushed Naruto off as he slowly made his way to the ocean.

"What do you think you're doing? You can't rescue Luffy in your state, you'll drown as soon as you hit the water." Naruto said as he stopped Zoro.

"Just shut up and go! Luffy doesn't have much time left, we can't waste anymore time." Zoro said as he struggled against Naruto's grip.

"I know that but we still have two more of them to deal with. You just can't go in recklessly." Naruto argued with him.

"If you two are done arguing, then maybe you'd notice this!" Sanji yelled as Naruto and Zoro saw him dive into the water.

"O-Oi, Baka! What do think you're doing? They will have the advantage over you!" Naruto yelled as he heard Kuroobi laugh.

"That's just great! If he want's to challenge me in the water then who am I to object!" Kuroobi said as he ran towards the water. Naruto saw this and tried to punch him but he jumped over him and into the water after Sanji.

"Damn!" Naruto cursed. 'I hope you know what you are doing Sanji, he will be twice as powerful now.' he thought before hearing Arlong chuckling.

"Seems like that human has a death wish fighting Kuroobi under water. His Fishman Karate is one of the best." Arlong said as he stood up.

"He might be good, but if I heard him before he said he was a 40th don, right?" Naruto asked. "He's still weak compared to practitioners like Jinbei. Sanji will beat him." he said as he picked up his bokken which was on the ground and held it in front of him. "Until he comes back I'll deal with you."

"Hmph! Like a human can beat me. I'll admit what you did inside surprised me, but that won't happen again." Arlong said stared at Naruto.

"We'll just see about that." Naruto said before he charged at Arlong, starting the battle for the island's freedom.

Underwater

Sanji was swimming underwater towards where Luffy was when he saw Genzo pushing down on Luffy's chest while the rubber boy's head was stretched out towards the surface. 'I see, they're using Luffy's rubber body to their advantage. Since they couldn't move the stone they moved Luffy's head instead. In that case all I have to do is break that rock and then-'

"Fishman Karate: Forearm Sledge!" Sanji didn't finish as Kuroobi came up and slammed his arm-fin into the back of Sanji's neck, sending him deeper into the water. Kuroobi smirked at his opponent before he spotted Genzo helping Luffy. "It's that old man from the village. How useless."

'Damn it! He sees me!' Genzo thought.

"Such a pathetic attempt to save the rubber boy's life. I guess I'll have to kill you too!" He started swimming towards Genzo when he felt someone tug back on his hair and looked back to see Sanji glaring at him.

"Where do you think you're going?" Sanji thought/asked.

"You...foolish human!" Kuroobi said as he pulled his hair from Sanji's grip. "Are you really trying to fight me underwater? You can't even breathe down here, what makes you think you can fight?" he said seeing Sanji covering his mouth trying to keep the air in his lungs. "As you wish foolish boy!"

"Fishman Karate: Dueling Hair Tether!" Kuroobi spun around in the water before sending his ponytail out and wrapping it around Sanji's waist. He pulls Sanji towards him as the cook struggled against the force and tried to kick the fishman as he got close but missed as Kuroobi ducked under it. "Too bad. Your kicks are powerless down here, that's one of your human weakness. But my Fishman karate losses none of it's power in water! On the contrary, it's much more powerful!"

"Fishman Karate: Underwater Bladder Buster!" Kuroobi yelled as he darted forwards and uses the momentum to deliver a savage sidekick to the Sanji's stomach. Sanji flew backwards from the force of the kick before Kuroobi's hair tether stopped him from going any further. "Fishman Karate…" Kuroobi starts spinning forward as he pulled Sanji in again and brought his foot down on Sanji's head. "Flaming Axe Kick!"

Seeing Sanji going down, Kuroobi swam towards the cook before swimming past him and kicked Sanji in the jaw. "Back-Foot Jawbreaker."

Kuroobi swam up to see Sanji glaring at him before pulling his hand back. "Guffaw Palm Bomb!" Kuroobi delivered an open-palm slam to Sanji's chin as the chef flew back and hit the rock formation behind but not before unraveling his hair around Sanji. He turned around to Genzo and smirked at the man before he felt the water vibrate.

Looking back he saw Sanji swimming fast towards the surface. "Air, air air air! I let out too much I can't breathe!...Suffocating…" Sanji thought swimming before he saw Kuroobi appear before him.

"Impressive." Kuroobi commented. "You have amazing stamina. You sure you're even human?"

"Damn it! Get out of the way!"

"Didn't you say something earlier like, 'any man who hurts a lady is a piece of crap.'?" Kuroobi taunted. "And now look at where your chivalry has gotten you. There's no escape for you, and you'll die by my hands. The old man and the boy he's trying to save? I'll kill them too. I'll kill Zoro and that long nosed guy, the villagers and that Naruto guy as well. And as a bonus, I'll kill that traitorous bitch Nami as well!"

"Don't you see? Your chivalry is worthless! If it can't save you, then you protect no one!" Kuroobi finished as he laughed at the cook's misfortune. He then grabbed the back of Sanji's shirt and looked at him. "I'll admit you have some skills, but, in the end you're still just a human. Your body doesn't react well to a sudden change of pressure, does it?"

He wrapped his arms around Sanji's body and turns upside down and smirked. "Let's see, I have a theory about what will happen to your body. Your organs are going to explode from the inside out." Sanji widened his eyes at the implication and the fishman prepared to dive. "Pulverizing Pressure Plunge!"

Both of them started diving at a fast rate as Sanji's stomach started to collapse in on itself. 'I can't let him do this!' Sanji though as he covered his mouth again from letting air out. 'If I want to save Nami the first thing I've got to do is save myself!'

They both came to a sudden stop as they retched the ocean floor as blood came out of Sanji's mouth. Kuroobi started laughing before he saw Sanji pointing towards the surface and frowned.

"What's with him? He just won't die." he whispered. "Very well. I guess we'll just have to try again!" Kuroobi said as they started swimming up.

'Fishmen use their lungs to breathe on land.' Sanji thought as he looked at the gills on Kuroobi's neck. 'But they use their gills to breathe water down here. Which mean's he's he can't use his gills on dry land. They might as well be talking fish!'

"You ready for round two?" Kuroobi asked.

'Which means their lungs are useless underwater!' Sanji thought as he grabbed Kuroobi's shoulder and breathed into his gills.

Above ground - During Sanji's fight

Naruto rushed at Arlong with his bokken raised and brought it down at the fishman moved backwards and dodged it.

"Stay still!" Naruto yelled as his swung the sword upwards and sent a slash of air at Arlong as he sidestepped it before it could cut him in half, but it still managed to cut off some hair.

The fishman looked at the blond with anger as he rushed at him and sent a punch his way. Naruto raised his hand and blocked the punch with a loud SMACK! and gripped Arlong's hand as the fishman grimissed.

'What's with this human? He's stronger than the rest and he can injure both me and Kuroobi with one hit. That's impossible!' Arlong thought before widening his eyes as Naruto hit him in the side with his bokken.

"Abdominal Annihilation!" Naruto said as he let go of Arlong's fist as the fishman grabbed his side in pain. "Solid Beast!" Naruto yelled as he punched Arlong in his stomach and sent the fishman flying into the building.

"Tch! Is that all you've got Arlong?" Naruto taunted. Arlong responded by crashing through the wall and glaring at the human in front of him.

"You bastard! You'll pay for that!" Arlong growled out.

"Heh, you'll have to hit me first!" Naruto said. He speed towards the fishman and began swinging his sword at Arlong while twisting around at a fast pace while Arlong moved back to dodge the strikes.

"What's with that swords play?" Yosaku asked as everyone looked at Naruto.

"I know, I don't recognize his style. What is that?" Johnny said as he was interested in the fight. Meanwhile Zoro looked at the wooden blade with keen eyes as he observed the blond.

'His style seems wild and erratic to the normal eye, but if you look at it carefully you can see a pattern.' Zoro thought as he narrowed his eyes. "A whirlpool."

"Huh? What'd you say Bro?" Johnny asked.

"His sword style...it reminds me of a whirlpool." Zoro said. "He starts off by spinning at a fast rate to catch his enemies off guard as they don't know when he will strike, but in reality there's a pattern to it." he explained as everyone looked at the fight and saw Arlong being pushed back with some bruises forming on his body.

"He stares by slicing near his neck or torso and slowly moves down the body every two or three turns and continues this process. But if his opponent tries to reach for him he swipes at their hand and moves back to his previous position and continues." Zoro explained. "The constant turning and the level of danger as he moves down the body reminds me of a whirlpool."

"I see! So he uses speed for his attacks?" Johnny asks as Zoro nodded.

Back with Naruto, he continued slashing at Arlong as the fishman walked backwards before he could get hit with the human's sword. As he was about to attempt to grab him again he tripped on a piece of debris and began falling backwards, Naruto sharpened his eyes and spun faster.

"Rising Tides!" Naruto said as Arlong was lifted into the air a little and Naruto stood up straight, gripping his bokken above his head and behind his back ready to strike Arlong. From behind the villagers began to see his sword change it's color as it turned black.

"Black Blade Style: Moonless Night!" Naruto sung his sword down as everyone saw a black blur before hitting Arlong in the stomach and hit the ground with such force that the whole park shaked from the impact. Naruto took a couple of steps back and saw Arlong bloodied and down and turned towards the villagers.

"That was more easy than I thought." He commented and started walking back.

"B-Bastard!" Arlong's voice spoke up. Naruto looked back and saw him slowly sitting up.

"You're still not down? You're tougher than I thought."

"You...you bastard! I'll kill you!" Arlong screamed. Before any of them could continue the sound of bubbles caught their attention as they looked towards the water and saw Sanji surface and gasping for air.

"Sanji…" Naruto said as the cook made his way out of the water and onto dry land. "Oi, are you alright?"

"Yeah, I'm alright, and so is Luffy as well." Sanji said getting his breath back.

"Really?"

"Yeah, half of him. I'll explain later, but for now…" Sanji said before pointing at the water. "GET YOUR ASS UP HERE! I WANNA FIGHT WHERE I CAN BREATHE!" he shouted as Kuroobi made his way out of the water.

"You still don't understand, do you? It doesn't matter if I'm on land on underwater, I'm just as strong either way." he said as he stood up and got into his stance. "Now you will witness the true power of Fishman Karate. When I punched you before that was just a sample of things to come! My ultimate attack is ten times as powerful!"

"The chances you'll survive this...IS ZERO!" he shouted...before he saw a leg coming at him.

"Collier!" Sanji said before kicking Kuroobi into the ground below. "You said my chivalry was worthless? Épaule!(Shoulder)" he kicked him as he was getting up. "I can't protect anyone, huh?" Sanji asked as Kuroobi was on his knees. "Côtelette!(Ribs) Selle!(Saddle/Lower Back)" he followed up with the two kicks before kicking him again. "Poitrine!(Chest)"

"Gigot!(Legs)" Sanji delivers a sweeping kick to Kuroobi's kneecaps as he was sent flying a few feet. The villagers gasped in amazement before Kuroobi struggled to stand.

"Son of a bitch! Thousand Brick Fist!" he shouted as he swung at Sanji but the cook disappeared from his sight and appeared to his left.

"Mutton Shot!" Sanji shouted as he kicked Kuroobi in the face and sent him flying into Arlong Park and came out on the other side of the building knocked out. "Guess you don't need dessert." Sanji said looking at the hole in the building.


Marshlands

"I can't believe this! Where are you bastard!" Chew shouted as he continued searching for Usopp as he hid in the forest.

"CATCH!" Usopp shouted from the trees as a bottle flew towards Chew, who caught it with ease.

"Sake?"

"Special Attack: Lead Star!" Usopp shouted as the bottle shattered, spilling the contents on Chew in the process and making him stumble back into one of the ponds..

"Is this the only way you can fight you coward? There's no place to hide from my squirt cannon." Chew said as he began to suck up the water from the area.

"It doesn't matter if it's stupid or cowardly, this is a battle that the manly Usopp...cannot run away from!" he said as he prepared for battle while Chew, who looked bloated, aimed the attack at the forest.

"Squirt Cannon!" He spat out all the water at once, destroying the trees in his path. Usopp looked at the effect of the attack in terror while Chew gained a tick mark as he saw him reveal himself. "Why do I have to fight such an idiot?" 'It's too easy.' he thought with a sweatdrop as Usopp hid himself again.

"I'll shred you to pieces! Squirt-" he stopped mid sentence as he saw a large metal ball heading towards him and was sent crashing into the ground. Usopp, hearing the crash, poked his head out from his hiding spot to see Gin panting while spinning his tonfas around.

"Gin! You're here! I'm saved!" Usopp said as he whispered the last part to himself.

"It took me a while to get here though, you sure are good at running away." Gin said as he saw Chew getting back up.

"Who the hell are you?"

"That's not important at the moment. What is important is that you are going down." Gin said as he speed up his swinging.

"Let's just see you try human! Squirt Machine Gun!" Chew shouted as he fire little droplets of water towards Gin and Usopp. Gin brought his tonfas up and blocked some of the water shots but was still injured when most of them made it through and ducked behind the trees for cover.

'Damn it! Those will be a problem since I can't get close to him. What can I do?' Gin though as Chew continued to fire.

"AHH! CRAP!" Usopp yelled as he covered his ears. "When I left I wanted to become a real pirate! I know I can do it, I know I can become a brave warrior of the sea! I won't be a coward and run away! Those days of pretending to be a pirate…ARE OVER!" he shouted as Chew kicked the tree he was hiding behind in half and caught it in mid-air.

"What did you say is over?" Chew asked with the tree above his head.

"This fight! Sake is flammable!" Usopp shouted as he pulled his slingshot back. "Flaming Star!" he shouted as Chew was set on fire.

"AHHH! HOT! FIRE! HOT! HOT! WATER! WATER WATER! MUST FIND WATER!" Chew shouted as he ran for the towards the marshlands. Before he could retch it thought he was hit by Gin again as he was knocked into the marshlands.

"W-Wow, we won...WE WON!" Usopp said as he came out of hiding.

"Yeah, we did. And that was quick thinking you had with the sake and fire, nice work long nose." Gin said as Usopp blushed at the compliment.

"Oh, please...do go on."

"Bastards!" Chew growled out as he stood behind the two and freaked them out. Usopp reacted first and brung out his hammer again.

"Usopp Hammer! Usopp Hammer! Usopp Hammer! Usopp's Rubber Band of Doom. Usopp Hammer! Usopp Hammer! Usopp Hammer! Usopp Hammer! USOPP HAMMER!" he shouted as he continued to hit the fishman over the head. When he was finished Chew was seen lying on the ground with multiple lumps all over his head and face and was crying unconscious.

Gin just looked at Usopp as he stood there with his hammer raised in the air while he breathed heavily and was shaking his legs.

"Wow, I didn't know you had that in you." Gin said.

"Y-Yeah. N-Neither did I." Usopp replied as he slowly looked towards Gin. "Can we go back now?"

"Sure. Just don't run off this time." Gin said as they started to make their way back towards Arlong Park.


Arlong Park

"Kuroobi… Hachi…" Arlong said angrily as he glared at the group of pirates in front of him. "You bastards defeated my brothers one after the other, you will all pay for this!" he said as he glared at them with bloodshot eyes.

'Amazing! Those guys just beat two of Arlong's fishmen.' Nojiko thought as she looked at the park while holding Luffy's head above the water. Genzo then resurfaced and panted as he swam near them.

"I can't hold my breath any longer." Genzo said in between breaths.

"Take my place, I'll go." Nojiko said. Genzo looked at Luffy's head and noted that he was looking better than before, and asked how the battle was going. "Everyone's fine, no one's dead. But, for the first time, I actually feel hope that we'll be free from Arlong and his men." she said as she looked to the sky with a smile.

"Oi." Naruto leaned over to Sanji. "What did you mean before when you said that Luffy was half okay?"

"It means he's alive for the time being, but if we want him fully back on dry land I've got to go back in the water." Sanji said before he looked at Arlong. "But something tells me that ugly over there wont let me."

"Don't worry about Arlong, I'll deal with him. You just get back in there and help Luffy." Naruto said as he walked towards the fishman once again.

"Got it!" Sanji said as he was about to dive back in the water.

"Now then…" Naruto said as he looked at the angry shark. "Shall we finish this?"

"ARLONG!" A shout came from behind the crowd of villagers. Everyone looked to see Nami glaring at Arlong.

"Big Sis Nami!" Johnny and Yosaku said in shock.

"Nami-san!" Sanji said.

"Nami." Naruto whispered as he saw Nami standing there with her bo staff and Luffy's hat. 'So that's where his hat went. He gave it to her before he came here.'

"Hey, Nami." Arlong said. "I was just about to teach these humans a lesson in how inferior they are to fishmen. What are you doing here?"

"I'm here to kill you." She said seriously.

"Kill me? Shahahaha! Haven't you learnt your lesson yet? How many times have you tried to kill me in these past eight years?" Arlong asked as the villagers gasped and looked at a shaking Nami. "Assassination, poison, sneak attacks, and they never worked. You must be aware that you mere humans can't kill me." he said with a grin as the villagers looked at the ground.

"Listen, I'm not going to kill you Nami, but you can't just leave either. You will remain here, as my cartographer, forever." Arlong said with sharp eyes as he looked at the girl.

"Shut up already!" Naruto yelled out before pointing his sword at Arlong. "You talk an awful lot about her staying here when you'll be at the bottom of the sea soon Shark bastard!"

"Oh? And What if I do? Once i'm finished with you insist I will kill every villager and pirate here!" Arlong shouted as he glared at the blond. "And there's nothing you can do about it."

"Oh, yes there is. I can kick you ass right here and now!" Naruto said.

SWISH!

The sound of water drew everyone's attention to the sea entrance of the park as they all saw a stream of water flying into the air.

"Is that?" Naruto said. 'I see, so that's what he meant.'

"Sanji!" Naruto said as he got in front of the cook.

"Right!" he said as he jumped into the water. Arlong looked at where the water was coming from with a raised eyebrow.

"Hmm, I don't remember a fountain over there. Could it be that rubber kid?" Arlong said as he took a step forward but stopped when Naruto brought his bokken up to his face.

"You shouldn't be worried about him right now, ya know!" Naruto said. "I'm your opponent."

"Heh!" Arlong smirked. "I'm not worried. Those who possess Devil Fruit powers lose all their strength when they even touch the sea. He should be dead by now. But if by any chance he's still alive, then that won't be fair with the game now will it?"

"Game? That little game of yours is over Arlong, you've lost! The only thing left for you to do now is die." Naruto said in a serious voice as he glared off with the fishman.

"Egg Star!" Usopp's voice called out as Arlong raised his hand and stopped the egg from hitting him. Looking over everyone saw Usopp standing by the hole Sanji had made(with Kuroobi's help) and gave Naruto the thumbs up. "I've got you back Naruto! Go on, give it to 'em!"

"Why are you over THERE?!" Everyone yelled as Naruto sweat dropped.

'Isn't he a little too far away?' he thought before turning back to Arlong.

"That's just him I suppose." Gin said as he walked up to the crowd. Usopp then boasted about how he and Gin beat Chew and did a poor impersonation of the fishman as Arlong looked at him with anger.

"Impossible! Chew was beaten!?" Arlong growled out.

"Face it Arlong." Naruto said, gaining the fishman's attention. "You're finished. Your men are beaten, your park is almost destroyed, and not single human has died. You've lost." he finished with a smirk. Arlong's blood red eyes glared at the man in front of him.

"You..!"

Screaming in the air drew everyone's attention again as they all saw a red and blue blob in the air before looking closer and saw that it was Luffy. "I'M BAAACK!"

Everyone looked and cheered as they all saw Luffy back in action and Naruto smirked when he saw his little brother again. In the air, Luffy smirked as he saw Naruto standing off against Arlong and stretched his arms out. "NARUTO!" the rubber boy shouted as he grabbed the back of Naruto's shirt as the blond had nervous blue lines on his face.

"O-OI, hold on. You're not going to…" Naruto said as he looked back at Luffy and got even more nervous when Luffy's grin widened.

"SWITCH!/NO WAY!" They both yelled as Luffy was pulled towards shore as Naruto buried his bokken in the ground in an effort to not be sent flying. Naruto struggled against Luffy as the rubber boy made it and smashed into the blond sent them both head first into the concrete.

"YOU IDIOT!" The villagers yelled as they saw Luffy tried to trade places with Naruto but failed.

"Ouch~" Luffy said as he sat up.

"Bastard!" Naruto spoke up before he gripped Luffy's head and made the rubber boy scream in pain. "What did you think you were doing? Trying to fling your older brother into the sea like that!"

"You would have been okay though!" Luffy said through the pain as Naruto gripped his head tighter.

"Okay? Okay? I'm a Devil Fruit eater too you moron! I would have drowned if I touched the ocean!" Naruto yelled comically before letting Luffy's head go before the rubber boy glared at him as well.

"Who cares! You were stealing my fight!"

"Your fight? I promised Nami I would take care of Arlong!"

"Oh yeah? When?"

"Before she even met you dummy! That's why I came to this island in the first place!"

The villagers and pirate crew watch the two brothers arguing with sweatdrops and thought to themselves. 'They really are brothers.'

"What do you think you two are doing?" An angry Arlong said as he stood behind Naruto with a cutlass in hand as the two brothers noticed him. "Bickering like fools while my brother lay dead at your feet."

'Shit!' Naruto thought as he pushed Luffy back and stood up.

"DIE!" Arlong yelled as he swung the sword and cut Naruto across the waist. Everyone looked in shock as bottom half of Naruto's body fell to the floor, lifeless, while Arlong grabbed the top half and threw it towards the park without a care in the world.

"NARUTO!" Nami yelled as she saw him get sliced in half. Arlong ignored her cry and looked at Luffy with a glare and a horrible grin.

"So? How does it feel to have you own brother killed right in front of your eyes? Not very pleasing, isn't it? Now you know how I feel when you and your friends-huh?" Arlong finished as he looked at Luffy...picking his nose.

"Hmm, you say something?" The rubber teen asked as everyone looked at him if he was serious.

"What's wrong with you? You just saw your own brother murdered and you don't even react in rage. You can't be that heartless?" Arlong asked as his anger began to grow.

"I'm not worried." Luffy said, continuously picking his nose

"Don't you even care about him? Don't you worry about his safety!?" Arlong said in anger as the villagers began to look in fear, when...

"Why would he?" a voice spoke up from behind Arlong as everyone, except Luffy, widened their eyes in shock. Arlong looked behind him and what he saw made him stare in disbelief. Behind him was the supposed lifeless form of Naruto's legs slowly making their way up before standing to attention and waiting.

The rubble behind them started to move before the top half of Naruto's body managed to crawl up on top of it and smirked at Arlong. "Yo!"

"W-What the-? How are you still alive?" Arlong asked in shock as Naruto chuckled a little.

"I thought you may have heard me before when I said that Luffy wasn't the only one of us to have eaten a Devil Fruit." Naruto said before his body turned blue and formed into a puddle of water under him. The water then started rising into the air before hitting Naruto's lower body and started to form the top half.

"Luffy doesn't worry about me." Right arm. "Because he doesn't need to worry about me!" Left arm. "And that's because attacks like that won't work on me, and my Devil Fruit abilities." he finished as his face formed and his hat formed above his head and dropped down on it.

"With my Splash-Splash Fruit's power, none of your attacks can harm me." Naruto said as his whole body finally reformed again and moved his arms slowly in a circle as droplets of water came out of his arms. "And now, I'll show you my true power, 'Saw-Nose' Arlong!" he finished with a grin.

The final battle of Arlong Park was about to begin...


Done! What a chapter, those fights were incredible. Sorry if you didn't like them, fights don't really agree with me.

Sorry it took so long to update but it's hard to write stories like this cuz I have to watch the anime and the Episode of Nami special too since I haven't watched these old episodes in a long time.

Anyway, I am having some thoughts on whether or not to add Johnny and Yosaku to the crew after this arc so tell me yes or no as to what to do on that matter.

As always please review and tell me your thoughts, no flames!

See you all next time.

M.S OUT! :)
