Chapter 8: A Sad Day For The Arlong Pirates
It's been two days since Gin was invited to join the Straw Hat Pirates. All he knew was that this crew was insane! He was currently watching Luffy and Zoro fight over the last piece of meat.
"Luffy! Give me back my piece of meat! You already had yours!" Zoro yelled.
"You said I can have a piece of your since you said you wasn't hungry!" Luffy yelled back.
"I said A PIECE not ALL OF IT!" Zoro yelled while lunging at Luffy to get his meat back. Gin sat on deck sweating nervously while watching them fight,
"Um does this always happen?" Gin asked Sanji.
"It does when you have an idiot as a Captain." Sanji sighed.
"So, who is this crew member that we have to save?" Gin asked.
"Her name is Nami and she is the ship's navigator." Luffy said with a swollen face. Apparently Zoro caught up to him and punched him in the face.
"Why does she need saving?" Gin asked curiously.
"Her island is being terrorized by fishmen pirates. Technically she doesn't need saving because she could handle this situation all by own but I felt like doing this again." Luffy replied.
"You mean the Arlong Pirates?" Gin asked.
"Yup."
"I've heard about them. Wait what did you mean by "again?" Gin said raising an eyebrow.
"I'll tell you about that later. Right now, we're about three hours away from the island. So Gin I suggest you should train right now because fishmen are stronger than humans and I want you to be prepared." Luffy said to Gin. Gin nodded in agreement.
"How strong are you guys anyway?" Gin asked them. Luffy, Sanji, and Zoro smirked.
"My crew members that are on the island we're heading to right now are able to take down 10,000 fishmen by their selves. These two are able to take down 50,000 alone." Luffy said proudly.
"Well I could've taken all 100,000 of them easily but you knocked out half of them with your haki." Zoro grumbled.
"Heh."
"WHAT! HOW ARE YOU GUYS THAT STRONG AND STILL ARE IN THE EAST BLUE?!" Gin yelled. He couldn't believe he was on a ship with powerful men like these.
"I've told you, I've had some unfinished business to attend to here but we'll be going back to the Grand Line soon." Luffy said grinning.
Gin was overwhelmed at this point. He couldn't help but to think if he should belong in this crew. As Gin was lost in thought, Luffy, Sanji, and Zoro noticed he was feeling nervous.
"Idiot! Why did you have to tell him that! Now he feels like he's not good for enough for us!" Zoro said hitting Luffy on the head with his sheath.
"Look Gin. I'm sorry for putting this much pressure on you. Don't worry we'll help you get stronger so you can be just like us." Luffy said trying to cheer Gin up. Gin smiled and regained his composure.
"Thanks. So who will be training me right now?" Gin asked them.
"Actually, I think Zoro can help you since you seem well trained with your weapons." Luffy commented.
"This might be interesting." Zoro said grinning.
"Do you think he will be able to train me since he was just in a battle with Hawkeye two days again?" Gin asked Sanji.
"Surprisingly, the shitty swordsman has impressive amount of durability." Sanji told Gin.
"Gin. I've been meaning to ask you something." Luffy said.
"Yeah. What is it boss?" Gin asked.
"First off, stop calling me boss and secondly, I noticed the way you hold you weapons. You're really not used to those right?" Luffy asked.
"Not really. I'm more use to ones with sharp edges." Gin admitted. To tell the truth, Gin used to have a pair of bladed tonfas but, they were destroyed when Gin fought Krieg. It was during his first couple of years of adventuring from his hometown.
"We'll might be able to find you some new weapons in Lougetown." Zoro cutted in. "I already have to get some new swords from there."
"Ok thanks."
"We'll be arriving in Cocoyashi Village in three hours so don't exhaust all your energy because you will definitely need it." Luffy told Gin.
"Ok boss." Gin said
While Zoro and Gin were training Luffy was sitting on the figurehead sensing what was going on the island.
"Hold on tight Nami. We're almost there." Luffy said while looking into the sky.
…...
(36 hours ago with Nami & Usopp)
Nami and Usopp was currently on the Going Merry sailing towards the south side of the island. Nami saw her house come into view and smiled. She missed her home so much but it wasn't the same without Bellemere there.
"So this is Big Sis Nami's hometown?" Johnny asked.
"This is place where the Arlong Pirates are located at?" Yosaku said shaking nervously.
"God you guys are such wimps." Usopp said sighing. Nami couldn't believe that just came out his mouth!
"Wow. look who grew some big pair recently. Looks like having a girlfriend really pays off for you." Nami said teasingly.
"Sh-SHUT UP!" Usopp yelled embarrassed.
Nami was about to taunt him again but noticed there was a fishman in the water swimming towards them.
"Special Attack: Lead Bullet Star!"
Usopp shot a bullet out towards the fishman instantly. The fishman didn't even have time to dodge because the shot came instantly and fell unconscious when the bullet connected with his throat.
"Wow your Observation Haki is improving greatly. You didn't even turn around to notice his was there." Nami said in a impressed tone.
"Heh." Usopp said grinning.
After Nami pulled up to the shore, Usopp, Johnny and Yosaku jumped off the ship.
"Now Usopp, Do you remember the plan?" Nami asked him.
"Yeah. Have Johnny and Yosaku train your sister and snipe anyone who gets near the house." Usopp told her.
"Okay. Now when Luffy gets here, tell him I'll be in Arlong Park waiting you guys to arrive. Tell him that I'll be pretending that you guys were the pirates that has been following me since I stole from you guys." Nami told him while sailing off.
"Got it."
After Nami sailed back towards the port, Usopp began walking towards Nami's house with Johnny and Yosaku.
"So who is Big Sis Nami's sister?" Johnny asked
"And why are all of the houses in this village upside down" Yosaku asked.
"Arlong did it." Nojiko said walking from behind some bushes. Yosaku and Johnny almost jumped out of their skins.
"WHO ARE YOU?" They both yelled simultaneously.
"She's Nami's sister." Usopp replied.
"Really?" They both said looking at her. She was an average-sized young woman with light blue hair and tanned skin. Her right arm and body was covered with tattoos.
"Wow she's hot." Johnny said blushing.
"Who are you guys? You guys work for the marines or Arlong?" Nojiko asked.
"Neither. We're here to kick Arlong's ass." Usopp said grinning. "I'm "God" Usopp and these guys here are bounty hunters and they are here to help you train. My Captain and crewmates are on their way here and your sister is a part of our crew also." Usopp told her.
"Let me give you guys a word of advice, Leave Nami alone. She can't be trusted and will backstab you guys and Arlong is definitely too strong for you guys." Nojiko said warning them.
"No she won't and all of my crew members are stronger than Arlong." Usopp said attempting to correct her.
"How do you know she won't?" Nojiko asked.
"Trust me she won't. Now anyways my Captain wants these guys to train you. I think he has special plans for you." Usopp said while walking to sit on a bench by the house.
Nojiko didn't know who these guys were but something told her a change was about come to the village.
"Ok. So what you guys about to teach me?" Nojiko asked Johnny and Yosaku.
"Well Big Bro Luffy told us to teach you the basics of swordsplay." Johnny told her.
"What?"
...
(Present Day)
Luffy and the crew finally made it to the shore of Cocoyashi Village. After they got off the boat, they went searching for Usopp, Johnny, and Yosaku. Gin was walking noticed all the houses was flipped upside down and began to wonder if there really was anyone alive still. The place looked like a tornado struck through it multiple times.
"Let's hurry up and get this over with. Just being in this place again like this makes me want to kill him right now." Luffy gritted his teeth in anger. Zoro, Sanji, and Gin couldn't blame him. These were innocent people and they didn't deserve this kind of torture.
As the crew got close to Nami's house they noticed something strange. Johnny and Yosaku were laying on the floor, passed out, and had bruises. They also noticed Nojiko looming above them holding a strange blade.
"What the hell happened here?" Zoro spoke up. Nojiko turned around noticed 5 strange men looking at her with curiosity. Well 4 of them were looking at her with curiosity. The other one was looking at her with a leer look.
"You guys must be this guy's crew members." Nojiko asked.
"Yup"
"Well these guys thought they were going to teach me the basics of swordplay but they wasn't even strong." Nojiko said walking towards them but was avoiding the creepy guy.
"Well they are strong enough to take out guys with a million beri bounty. So for you to take both of them out without a scratch means you got some skills." Zoro grinned.
"Well I have years of practice." Nojiko replied. Luffy, Zoro, and Sanji raised an eyebrow.
"Who trained you?" Zoro asked. Nojiko sighed and went into the house and came back out with a huge book that looked like a manual or something.
"My mother left this for me along with this sword. She was supposed to train me but I been training by myself without letting anyone know." Nojiko said with a solemn look.
"It's ok. We've heard the story from Nami. That's why we're here." Luffy told her with a serious look. Nojiko looked shocked after she heard what Luffy just told her.
"Nami wouldn't seek out help. She wouldn't want to put any other people in danger for our problems." Nojiko said teary eyed.
"It's ok. We can help you guys with this pest problem. Just trust us." Luffy told Nojiko. She looked at him and knew he was dead serious about taking down Arlong. She didn't want to have hope after all of these years of being tortured by the fishmen.
"Is all right with you if I join you guys on taking down Arlong?" Nojiko asked. Luffy looked surprised. He wasn't expecting her to say that.
"Why not?" Luffy said shrugging.
"So Usopp... Is Nami with Arlong right now?" Luffy asked Usopp.
"Yeah and she told me to tell you to pretend that we were pirates that have been chasing her because she stole from her." Usopp told them.
"Sounds like she has something interesting up her sleeve." Luffy said smirking.
As Luffy and the group got ready to depart towards Arlong Park, Usopp noticed something.
"Uhh Luffy...Isn't he one of Krieg's pirates?" Usopp said in a questioning manner.
"Nope. He's a part of our crew now." Luffy said with his eyes closed while whistling. Gin walked over towards Usopp and extended his hand.
"The name is Gin. Nice to meet ya." Gin said.
"My name is Usopp." Usopp said while shaking his hand.
Zoro decided to wake up Johnny and Yosaku and told them to look out for them and try to delay them until their finished with Arlong. Johnny and Yosaku nodded.
Luffy was walking towards Arlong Park with Zoro, Sanji, Nojiko, Gin, and Usopp behind him. As they got close by the shore again, everyone noticed a bolt of lightning struck the inside of Arlong Park.
"I didn't know there was supposed to be storming today?" Nojiko said in a curious tone.
"It isn't." Luffy, Zoro, Sanji, and Usopp said together. Nojiko and Gin stared at them with confused looks.
"Looks like Nami's in trouble. Hey Usopp... You remember the training Nami did?" Luffy asked him
"Yeah..." Usopp replied.
"Good.. Because I want you to practice doing that." Luffy said.
"Actually I already know how to do it a little bit." Usopp said while rubbing his head nervously. Luffy, Zoro, and Sanji raised an eyebrow.
"When did you learn it?" Luffy asked him.
"On the ship when Nami and I were sailing here. She said consider it payment for upgrading her Clima Tact." Usopp told him.
"Wow. To think Nami would actually teach a person something is... unheard of." Luffy said in a amused tone.
"Well let's see if you can keep up with us." Luffy said while shaving towards Arlong Park. Zoro followed behind but instead of running, he was walking while yawning. Sanji Sky Walked to Arlong Park while muttering some words that the rest of them couldn't hear him. Usopp began to run with them and disappeared from Gin's and Nojiko's sight. Gin and Nojiko just stood there with shock.
"How the hell are your crewmates able to do those things?" Nojiko shouted loudly. Who were these monsters?
"I would like to know that for myself also." Gin smirked as they started to follow them. Seems like he picked a more interesting crew to sail with.
...
(At Arlong Park)
Arlong and his crew were in complete shock. They couldn't believe what just happened. In the pool laid several of Arlong's men, unconscious and were completely burned. They looked at Nami and noticed she holding an odd shaped weapon. There was a good reason why several of Arlong's men were incapacitated.
(Flashback 10 minutes ago)
It was a joyful day for Arlong and his crew. They finally got their Navigator back and she still hasn't collected the full 100 million beris. well that's what Nami wanted them to think. As the pirates were drinking and swimming around in the pool. Nami decided to speak up.
"I hope you didn't go into town to wreck it again or harm any of my people Arlong?" Nami asked in a questioning manner after she remembered a few things off. After she sailed into shore, She noticed the townsfolk looked her with gloomy looks. She started walking towards Arlong Park but noticed she didn't see Genzo around. "He must be trying to calm the townsfolk down." She thought.
"Oh, I wouldn't dare hurt anyone precious to you. You know I am a man of my word." Arlong said while grinning. Kuroobi, Chew, Hachi, and the rest of his crew were holding in laughter after he said that. Several fishmen that was in pool started to laugh uncontrolably.
"Would y'all mind telling what's so funny?" Nami glared at the fishmen that was in the pool.
"It's just that...these foolish humans were planning a revolt and they all were slaughtered by Arlong except for 2. Arlong was about to kill them but that human with that funny looking hat got in the way." One of the fishmen said snickering.
"Man that was the most foolish human I've ever seen!"
"When he was crying out in pain, that was hilarious!"
"What an idiot!"
Everyone at this point was laughing hysterically except for Nami. She, on the other hand was filled with rage. She already knew they was talking about Genzo. With one swift move, Nami threw a lightning cloud into the air above the pool. Arlong and everyone stopped laughing and had curious looks on their faces."
"Thunderbolt Tempo."
Nami muttered as she swung her staff down in a quiet manner and thunder started to crackle and descended down into the pool with blinding speed, causing a parade of cries and agony. Everyone who was in the pool was crying out help before they all passed out.
(Present Day)
"What the? Nami, What the hell did you just do!?" Arlong yelled at her.
"I'm pretty sure I just shocked them dumbass." Nami said in a bored tone.
"Is this one of your ways of betraying me? You remember what happened last time?" Arlong said with grin.
" Actually, I never betrayed you because I really wasn't in your crew. I would've killed you myself, but my captain wants that honor." Nami said while moving her staff against her arm, dissipating the illusion of their mark. Arlong was shocked but managed to regain his composure.
"Nami I must admit what you're doing is amusing but I got to ask. Who is your "New" Captain?" Arlong asked smirking.
"That would be me." Was all Arlong heard before he felt a fist connect with his face, sending him flying into the wall, hard! All of the Arlong Pirates were frozen. They didn't even see no one come into the park, yet there was a man with straw hat standing in the middle of the park.
"Who the hell are you?" Kuroobi, Chew, and Hachi yelled while running towards Luffy. Unfortunate for them, Kuroobi was met with a foot in the back of his spine, Chew was hit with several lead bullets to the gut, and Hachi was met with a compressed flying slash that sent him flying into a beam.
Everyone turned to see the door has been sliced completely in half and 5 unfamiliar humans was walking to the park. Nami was surprised by what she saw. She saw Nojiko and the guy from the Krieg Pirates.
"Okay first things first, Luffy, is this our new crew member?" Nami said pointing towards Gin.
"Yup."
"Second, Nojiko! Why are YOU here?" Nami yelled.
"I'm here to help my little sister and her friends take down Arlong. He's got to pay for injuring Genzo!" Nojiko said gritting her teeth. Nami was surprised. She thought Genzo was dead. A huge weight was taken off her shoulder.
Luffy and his crew stood in the middle of Arlong Park looking at each of the fishmen like they were prey. Arlong, Kuroobi, Chew, and Hachi recovered and was staring at the unfamiliar pirates.
"Who are these lowly humans? They must be extremely foolish to challenge us." Arlong said while getting up. He was actually trying to pretend that hit didn't hurt, but in reality, he almost fell into complete darkness by that first hit.
"I knew we couldn't trust that bitch!" Kuroobi said while trying to regaining his senses.
"Arghhhh! That hurt! Who did that?" Hachi commented.
"Calm down Hachi. It was just these arrogant humans. They're about to become skewered in a minute." Chew said spitting out blood.
While Arlong's officers were recovering, Luffy decided to jump into the top floor of Arlong's building. Few minutes went by and the next minute, The building started to collapse.
"What the?" Arlong yelled while looking at the building. The rest of his crew was frozen. they all stared at the building, watching it collapse. Luffy appeared right next to his crew.
"Wow! It felt so good destroying that again." Luffy said while wiping the dust off his hands. Nami turned to him and hugged him.
"Thanks for that again Luffy." Nami said whispering.
"No problem." Luffy replied back.
"DAMMIT LUFFY! FIRST YOU GET TO KICK ARLONG'S ASS AGAIN. SECOND, YOU DESTROYED THE BUILDING AGAIN AND NOW, YOU EARNED A HUG FROM THE LOVELY GODDESS HERSELF! I COULD KILL YOU RIGHT NOW!" Sanji shouted angrily while shaking Luffy. Everyone started to look at Luffy with pity.
"Sanji dear, if you guard the entrance, I'll give you a hug too." Nami said smiling cheerfully.
"I WILL BE WAITING FOR YOUR DIVINE ARMS TO WRAP AROUND ME!" Sanji yelled standing at the entrance.
"Uhh does he always act like this with her?" Gin asked Zoro.
"Yup."
"Well that's... interesting." Gin laughed.
While Luffy and crew was chatting, several of Arlong's men were trying to sneak up on them and attack them but was completely taken out by Nojiko and Gin! Gin was spinning his tonfas towards each of the fishmen's guts. Nojiko swung her sword from the left to the right, causing it to detach as it sliced 3 of the fishmen's torsos. Zoro and Nami raised an eyebrow.
"Nojiko, Where did you get that weapon from?" Nami asked her.
"I got it from Bellemere. She hid it in a treasure chest in our room." Nojiko said smiling at the weapon. Nami was surprised. To think Nojiko was thinking about fighting all this time. Nami was proud of her big sister.
"That's an interesting sword you got. I could help you train if you want." Zoro said smirking. Nojiko thought about it for second. "This guy looks pretty strong. But how strong is he?" Nojiko thought.
"What can you do that I haven't done before?" Nojiko said folding her arms across her chest. Zoro sighed and took out his Wado Ichimonji from it's sheath.
"One Sword Style: 36 Caliber Phoenix."
Zoro muttered as he swung his sword toward of a sudden, a flying slash flew towards Hachi with incredible speeds. Hachi didn't even have time to block as the attack engulfed him in a wave of cuts. The attack caused each of Hachi's blades to break simultaneously. He fell to the floor clenching his body in agony. Nojiko walked over to Zoro and shook his hand violently.
"Sign me up!" Nojiko yelled excitedly. Zoro was getting irritated by how hard she was shaking him.
"Ok! I'll train you if you can manage to take that fish with the long lips down. Zoro said point at Chew. A tic formed on Chew's forehead.
"Looks like these lowly humans wants to die early." Chew said walking towards Zoro and Nojiko. Nojiko pulled her sword towards her chest. She was prepared to take down this guy. Suddenly, Usopp shot out a couple of lead bullets towards Chew again. Unfortunately, He caught them in his hands and turned towards Usopp's direction.
"Follow me you long lip bastard!" Usopp yelled, mocking Chew and running out of Arlong Park
"First, the long nosed human dies first." Chew said gritting his teeth while running after Usopp.
"You better hurry. Your opponent is running away after another person." Zoro told Nojiko. Nojiko groaned in frustration and started to run after them. Suddenly, Kuroobi ran after Nojiko trying to kill her, but was intercepted by Gin slamming his tonfa right into his gut.
"Sorry. My hand slipped." Gin said grinning evilly.
"You'll pay for that you bastard!" Kuroobi said clenching Gin's tonfa. In one swift move, Gin swung his right tonfa up toward Kuroobi's chin but missed when Kuroobi ducked back and jumped backwards a few feet.
"Looks like everyone got their battles picked out. Hey Nami, you can guard the gate now because I sensed the townsfolks are on their way here." Luffy said to Nami. Nami turned and started walking toward the gate and gave Sanji a quick hug. Sanji instantly, turned into stone and felt like his life was complete now.
"Sanji dear, can you go help Johnny and Yosaku protect my tangerines? I'll let you carry my bags on the next trip." Nami said as she winked at him. In less than 3 seconds, Sanji was off Sky Walking to Nami's house.
The rest of the villagers who were alive, gathered around the gate of Arlong Park and were prepared to fight. But they shocked by what they all saw. The fight has already begun between The Arlong Pirates and some unknown pirates. Genzo trudged through the crowd, wrapped up in bandages. Nami was shocked.
"Genzo! What are you doing up?" She yelled while running up to him to hug him.
"I'm fine! That damn doctor acts like he knows my body better than me." Genzo grumbled. "I came to end Arlong's tyranny over our island, but it seems that someone is beating us to the punch. Who are they?" Genzo asked.
"My idiot crew members." Nami smiled while wiping the tears out of her eyes.
While Nami was guarding the gate, Luffy and Zoro decided to sit down on top of the rubble that came off of Arlong's building. The rest of the Arlong Pirates was hesitating if they should attack these guys. Zoro decided to take a quick nap since this fight was about to end quick. Luffy leaned back on the rock while looking at Arlong. He was filled with rage at this point. His park was destroyed by some lowly humans. He glared at Luffy and Luffy just smiled back.
"Don't worry. We'll have our turn soon." Luffy said.
...
(Nojiko & Usopp vs Chew)
Nojiko was currently running to where Chew and Usopp and noticed there was several trees that looked like they were cut in half.
"What the?" Nojiko thought as she kept running towards Chew and Usopp. Suddenly she caught chew standing in the middle of the wetlands and increased her pace while pulling her sword out in a lunging stance.
"Snake Thrust!"
Nojiko yelled out as she launched his sword forward towards Chew. Chew saw the attack coming and sidestepped out of the way. He launched a couple water blasts at Nojiko. Nojiko jumped to the right, hiding behind a tree. Suddenly, Usoop appeared next to her.
"Luffy told me to help you take down this guy." Usopp said ducking behind the tree.
"How am I supposed to take out this freak?" Nojiko yelled at Usopp.
"Hiding from me is pointless! Hundred Water Gun Shot!"
Chew yelled as he sucked in a pool full of water and began spitting it like a machine gun. Each of the shot was powerful enough to destroy a whole tree. Usopp once again disappeared and Nojiko was busy jumping from tree to tree, dodging water blasts. She was trying to figure out how to get close to Chew without getting shot. Suddenly, a idea popped into her head.
"Hey Usopp, you got any smoke screen pellets?" Nojiko asked Usopp while they were running to avoid getting hit.
"Yeah."
"Shoot some his direction so I can land a close range attack." Nojiko yelled preparing her sword.
"Ok. Special Attack: Smoke Screen Star!"
Usopp yelled out as he shot a smoke screen bullet towards Chew. Chew saw the attack coming and decided to block against it. Smoke engulfed around Chew. Nojiko ran from behind the tree she was hiding behind and ran into the smoke screen. As soon she saw a image of Chew, she began launching a barrage of attack.
"Mistress's Justice!"
Nojiko shouted as she swung her sword upward while detaching it, launching Chew in the air. Not wanting to give Chew any time to recover, she repeatedly swung her sword up and down in a circular manner. Chew was screaming out in agony. Cuts were appearing all over his body. When his body finally fell to the ground, Chew was out of energy to move or talk. He was sitting on his knees trying to regain consciousness.
"This is for all of the damage that you fishmen caused my village. Sweet Dominance!"
Nojiko said as she walked over to Chew and shot her boot into Chew's back. She then tied her snake sword around his neck and began to pull her sword backwards as she kept pressing her boot forward into his back. After 15 seconds of applying pressure into Chew's back and neck, She finally heard his neck snap. Chew's body fell lifelessly onto the ground. Nojiko retracted her sword back into it's original form. She sighed and turned around and began walking towards Usopp.
"I hope this training with that green hair guy is worth it." Nojiko said panting. Usopp was shocked that she was able to take out a top officer so easily.
"You wanna go see how the rest of the fight is going?" Usopp asked her.
"Sure."
Straw Hat Pirates: 2 Arlong Pirates: 0
(Gin vs Kuroobi)
"Heh. Looks like your new student has won." Luffy smirked as he told Zoro. Zoro grunted and smirked as he realized he was about make Nojiko regret training with him.
"Nojiko won Luffy?" Nami asked Luffy surprised.
"You'll see for yourself in a minute." Luffy replied.
Suddenly the townsfolk turned around to see Nojiko walking with Usopp towards Arlong Park. Nami smiled as she saw her sister remained unharmed.
"So Nojiko, how was your first battle?" Nami said smiling. Nojiko grunted then looked at Arlong, who was glaring at her.
"It was a piece of cake. That freak wasn't even strong." Nojiko said grinning. Arlong shot up rage and rushed towards her way.
"DON'T YOU DARE INSU-" was all he able to say as he was kicked by Luffy.
"Now now fishy. We'll get our turn soon." Luffy said shaking his finger. Arlong was once again shot towards a wall.
Kuroobi and the rest of the Arlong Pirates were speechless again. They couldn't believe their crew was getting easily overpowered by some filthy humans. Kuroobi was thinking about his captain, Gin rushed in and swung his tonfa towards Kuroobi's chest again. Kuroobi groaned in pain as he was once again hit with the tonfa.
"Did you seriously just took your eyes off of me? I'm hurt." Gin said fake pouting. Kuroobi gritted his teeth in anger.
"Disgusting human! Learn your place!" Kuroobi yelled while raising his knee at Gin. Gin saw the attack coming and twisted his body toward the right to avoid it but wasn't expecting Kuroobi to react swiftly.
"Fishman Karate: Thousand Brick Fist!"
Kuroobi yelled out as he shot his fist towards Gin. Gin had no choice but to block. The fist connected with Gin's tonfa, causing a crack to form in the both of them.
"Shit! i gotta finish this quickly I guess." Gin thought.
"As much as I would love to continue this little match, my weapons aren't going to hold out any longer soo..." Gin told Kuroobi. Kuroobi looked confused for a minute. Suddenly, Gin kicked off the ground and twisted his body in the air while striking Kuroobi in precise spots.
"Arms! Left Shoulder! Twin Cannon Strike!"
Gin spun in the air as he struck Kuroobi in the arms, his left shoulder, and flipped over Kuroobi body to deliver two thrusts to his spine. Kuroobi felt like he couldn't move at all. He gritted his teeth in pure anger. How could he be easily defeated by humans! Gin looked at both of his tonfas and they finally broke in pieces.
"Well at least they lasted this long." Gin sighed.
Gin walked over to Kuroobi who still kneeling and was glaring at him. Gin pulled his gun out from his waist and aimed it at Kuroobi's throat.
"To think a human was able to bring you to your knees is quite embarrassing isn't it?" Gin asked Kurrobi who was still glaring at him. "Any last words?"
"I hope you suffer a fate worse than death!" Kuroobi spat out.
"Already did." Gin said he pulled the trigger. The bullet went straight through Kuroobi's neck. Kuroobi choked on his own blood as he fell to the ground. Gin turned and walked towards Luffy's side.
Straw Hat Pirates: 3 Arlong Pirates:0
...
(Luffy vs Arlong)
"Boss, I'm done with my fight," Gin told Luffy. A tic formed on Luffy's forehead.
"Dammit Gin! I told you to stop calling me that! It's annoying!" Luffy said in a irritated tone. Zoro who was pretending to be asleep, busted out in laughter. Luffy glared at Zoro and kicked him off of the rock that they were sitting on. Luffy jumped off top of the rock and looked at Arlong.
"Well since my crew has beaten your top officers, I guess it's our turn to fight," Luffy said grinning at Arlong. Arlong was filled with nothing but rage.
"HOW DARE YOU INFERIOR HUMANS HARM MY BRETHREN!" Arlong yelled out as he ran into the water. Luffy sighed as Arlong was preparing to throw his shark bullets at Luffy. Arlong shot his water shots at Luffy. Unfortunately, Luffy dodged each bullet easily. Arlong was growing tired and getting frustrated. No matter how fast he threw his bullets, Luffy was dodging them easily. Arlong stopped throwing his bullets and began spinning his body in a circular manner repeatedly. Luffy raised an eyebrow.
"Oh so your trying to end this quickly? Well fine by me. I was getting tired with your parlor tricks." Luffy said stretching his left arm and twisting it.
"Shark Darts!"
Gum Gum Rifle!"
Arlong shot his body out of the water at Luffy. Unfortunately, Luffy's fist connected with Arlong's nose, causing Arlong to come to a complete stop. After a few seconds, Arlong's body shot backwards into the water, causing a explosion of water to leave the pool. The rest of the Arlong Pirates and the villagers were shocked.
"Nami, can you come see how's Arlong doing now?" Luffy asked her.
"Sure." Nami started to walk from the gate to the end of the pool and looked down and saw Arlong's body laying unconsciously in the bottom of the pool. His nose was broken and his teeth were out of his mouth.
"Yup. He's out."
The villagers started to cheer happily as they was finally release from Arlong's tyranny. Luffy almost about something. He walked to where Hachi was still up and clutching his chest in pain. Luffy bent down and whispered in Hachi's ear.
"I suggest you hurry up and head back to Rayleigh's place. You're lucky we spared your life. Now go." Luffy whispered while kicking a hole in the wall. Hachi groaned as he got up and tried to run away.
"Thank you, Straw Hat." He attempted to yell. As Hachi disappeared into the woods, Luffy turned around and saw Zoro and Gin looking at him and it made him feel uneasy. As everyone as was talking to each other, Sanji appeared holding a rat faced man in his hand. Luffy walked over to Nezumi and slapped him in the face multiple times.
"I'll get you for this! I am a Marine Captain! Touching me is a severe punishment."Nezumi yelled out
"Tell it to someone who cares," Luffy muttered. "Listen to me, you little weasel. I need you to do two things... first, clean up this mess and deliver a message for me."
"A message?"
"Yes. In the newspaper article that goes with me and my crew's bounties, I want you to print a certain message."
"I want these exact words to be in the article."
"I'm listening."Nezumi said.
Luffy smirked. "To the reindeer who was treated as a outcast and has a mother who is old as dust, the woman who has darkness in her past and always on the run, the cyborg who loves building crap and doesn't know what pants are, the hilarious humming skeleton who sings, the first son of the sea who has a respectable amount of honor, and the man who death has as his favorite surgeon: we're coming for you."
...
In the interest of sticking to the schedule, the Straw Hats only stayed overnight instead of sticking around for a three-day party. The entire island turned out to celebrate once the news of Arlong's fall spread. Those from Cocoyashi had a solemn moment of silence for Bellemere, and all those that hadn't lived to see this day, before shaking off the ghosts of the past and joining in the merry making. The next morning, Nami was done packing all of her stuff and was about to walk to the shore, but was stopped by Nojiko. Nojiko was also holding a bag.
"Uhh Nojiko, what are you doing?" Nami asked her.
"Oh, I'm coming with you." Nojiko said with a smile.
"WHAT! WHY?" Nami yelled.
"Your captain is interesting and I want to see your dream come true. Plus..." Nojiko smiled. Nami couldn't even protest and started to smile.
"Well let's go see if my captain approves of this." Nami said grabbing her and walking out the house "Bellemere, we're off." Nami whispered.
...
(On the ship)
"Think she'll do the same thing as last time?" Usopp asked as he lifted a crate of gunpowder from where some idiot had placed it. The Straw Hats were at the shore getting ready to sail off but was waiting for Nami to arrive.
"Nah. She'll never admit it, but we've rubbed off on her. She'll go for something more… dramatic," Luffy mused.
"What was that about rubbing off on my sweet angel?" Sanji asked dangerously.
"Dirty-minded cook." hissed Zoro.
"Are you itching to start a fight moss hair bastard?" Sanji replied back.
While the two was about to fight again, Nami and Nojiko appeared over the clearing, standing on a puffy white cloud. Her Clima-Tact was stretched out to a regular length and held like a scepter, her hair flowing in the wind. As the islanders gaped below the two sisters, something began to fall from the cloud. Those beneath them gaped as they realized that coins, bills, and bits of jewelry were leaking out of the cloud. Nami looked forward, serene and unconcerned, as the wealth was returned to its citizens.
"Talk about 'making it rain', "Gin muttered.
"Is there a reason why she's just giving it away?" Gin asked
"I'd rather not think about it." Zoro mumbled.
Nami and Nojiko hopped off the cloud to land on the deck of the Going Merry. She turned to wave at the masses she left behind.
"So long! When Marines come to interview about me, only say nice things! Good luck!"
"So, you want to join my crew huh?" Luffy asked Nojiko as he walked over to her.
"Well your swordsman did say he was going to give me some lessons and besides, you've piqued my interests." Nojiko said smirking.
"Good answer. Now then, crew are you guys ready to set sail?" Luffy said to everyone.
"YEAH!"
"SET THE SAILS! NEXT STOP: LOUGETOWN!" Luffy yelled as they started to pull off.
