"Now the real fight begins." Luffy said biting his thumb. "GEAR THIRD!" He blew air into his fist. "GUM-GUM ELEPHANT GUN!" Luffy's fist flew into the fishman's face and sent him flying back. He grabbed Luffy's arm and covered it in frost. "OH NO YOU DON'T!" Luffy retracted his arm, pulling his body to the fishman and slamming into him. The fishman fell back a bit but Luffy headbutted him. "ARIEL! HOLD THIS!" Luffy screamed, stretching out his hand to put his strawhat on her head. "THAT'S IMPORTANT TO ME, MY TREASURE. DON'T LET ANYTHING HAPPEN TO IT!" he ordered. Ariel nodded and cluched the hat close to her head, turning to the sea witch. She looked around, unable to find a weapon when suddenly a hand touched her sholder. Looking over Ariel saw a disembodied hand holding out a bo staff that had a piece of ribbin tied around the middle.
"I thought these might be useful!" Robin said with a smile. Ariel nodded and tock them with a smile. She untied the ribbion and used it to tie back her hair. Then she gripped the staff.
"Your going to try to defeat me with a stick?!" Ursula taunted. Ariel swam towards the fish woman only to be snagged by her tenticals. It wrapped around her waist, pinning her arms, and up to her face. Ariel tried to struggle against it, then looked at the part on her face. She bit down, causing Ursula to scream and release her, then hit her hard with one of the tenticals, sending her flying into a wall. Trition, Sebastian, and Flounder pushed to help. Zoro swung his sword so fast that a mini current formed, pulling the fish and crustation back while Sanji and Robin struggled against the king.
"THIS ISN'T YOUR FIGHT!" Sanji screamed.
"That's my daughter..." Triton started.
"And this is her fight. Do you really wish to hurt her that badly. If you interfear now, you'll do more harm to her than any opponent could." Robin said. Triton froze at the truth of those words. Ariel pushed herself from the wall, blood running down the side of her mouth. She wiped it off, checked to make sure she had Luffy's hat, then came at Ursula hard. Ursula swatted her aside easily. Ariel tried again with the same results as before. Then she tried a third time.
"This is pointless." Ursula pointed out, but she didn't care. This time she launched herself at the sea witch, but stopped short before she got to close. Planting the staff into the floor she torqued around her body and slammed her tail into Ursula. It was enough force to send the sea witch to the ground. Ariel then brought the staff down hard on her face, the ruff edge cutting her cheek. Usopp, Chopper, and Nami could be heard cheering her on from behind. Ariel chanced a glance over where the guests of the party had coward, seeing her sisters look at her in shock. Ariel then moved back as Ursula got up, clutching the staff close to her chest. "Well, even I have to admit that actually hurt." Ursula mused in an angrey voice. The little mermaid didn't shrink back or even flinch as Ursula swung a tentical at her. Instead she beat it aside with the staff. Ursula glared and tried again, but Ariel moved in and hit her across the face with the staff again. Then she moved back so she was just out of the witches reach. Ursula lauched herself forward with more speed than Ariel thought possible. She trapped the mermaid onto the ground and Luffy's hat floated away. 'THAT'S IMPORTANT TO ME, MY TREASURE. DON'T LET ANYTHING HAPPEN TO IT!' echoed in her head. Ariel mustered up all the strength she had to punch the sea witch. The witch was so surprised that her grip went slack. Ariel wrenched herself free and went after the hat, reclaiming it for her friend. Then she put it back on her head. "That was stupid. You lost your weapon for a silly hat." Ursula said.
"No it wasn't. It's important to someone, so it's important to me." Ariel said. The strawhats smiled, proud of how far she had come. Ariel turned back to Ursula. "I don't need a weapon to face you, i'll come agianst you with only myself if I have to, but you will never touch Atlantica." Ariel said.

Luffy came at the fishman again, but he coated Luffy's body in ice and slammed him threw the floor. Then he started to beat Luffy, but the frost wore off and Luffy whipped around his tail, hitting the fishman off of him. "GUM-GUM ELEPHANT GATLING!" Luffy sceamed, blowing air in both hands. The attacks came so hard and fast the fishman had no time to react. Then he froze Luffy's arms and kicked him hard in the face. Luffy's tail came around and swatted him hard and yanked him with Luffy into the wall. The fishman then grabbed Luffy.
"Ultimate technique, frost wheel!" he muttered. Immeditaly the water in the entire room was filled with frost. Ursula, Ariel, Zoro, Sanji, Triton, Robin, Flounder, and Sebastian all were coated in a layer of frost while the others were far enough back to only feel the temperture drop drastically. Luffys eye's got huge as he could feel everything freeze. Then the fishman barred down on him. The attack went deep and Luffy spit out a mouthful of blood as the attacks increased. Then the fishman lifted Luffy above his head and threw him threw a wall. Luffy struggled as he went flying threw, blood running from all over his head and body.
"Hey, he's gonna loose, aren't you gonna help him?!" Sebastian asked Zoro. Zoro shock his head. "But he's your captain." Sebastian insisted.
"If I got involved I hightly dobut Luffy'll ever forgive me. Beside's he'll win. I know it." Zoro said. Luffy yelled out as he shot into the room again like a slingshot. He collided directly into the fishman, knocking him back a few steps. Then he punched the man hard in the face and slammed his head into the fishmans.
"YOU THINK THAT'S ENOUGH TO DEFEAT ME!" Luffy screamed. He pulled back his fist again. "GUM-GUM ELEPHANT GATLING!" he yelled, putting air in both fists. He started to beat the fishman into the ground, then he turned and swam away. Once he was a good distance, he turned, blowing air into both arms, then speed at the fishman, arms behind him. His arms turned back as he used haki to inforce the attack. "GUM-GUM GRIZZLY MAGNUM!" he screamed. He hit the fishman in the solarplexes with both arms. The fishman was instantly unconcious as he was lauched away. He went threw the top of the palace and lauched compleatly from the ocean. Luffy yelled in triumph. Ariel started to cry and slowly approched the captain.
"L...Luffy?" she started. Luffy collapsed on the ground, asleep. Ursula looked around in horror, realizing the fishman failed she fled. Zoro and Sanji collapsed too, both sleeping as well. Franky and Chopper also laid down, sleeping.
"Of course, their asleep those jerks!" Nami yelled. Ariel looked at them all.
"Thankyou." she whispered.
