Hello everyone, it's been a while since I uploaded a new chapter, but here is the last bit of the Fishman Island Arc. I hope you enjoy this chapter. And if the story seemed boring to you, I have been trying to give Caeruleus, the original character, some character development. And in the words of River Song, "Spoilers!" for the last bit of the Fishman Arc if you haven't read it yet.

Chapter 11 Straw Hats vs. New Fishmen Pirates

"Fishman Karate-!" said Jinbe. "Shark Tile, True Fist!" He thrust his fist towards Luffy, sending a shockwave in his direction. Luffy tried to defend himself, but he was hit, was blown away, and looked reasonably hurt. Everyone looked shocked that Luffy got hit with that kind of attack because his rubber body should have deflected, or rebounded, the attack. "The essence of Fishman Karate is-"

"Controlling the water molecules in the air, ocean, or … inside a person." I interrupted. "And as every living creature is about 90% water, no one can directly defend themselves from this style of martial arts."

"What! How did you know that?" said a shocked Jinbe.

"In my two years of training, I learned how to, very quickly, analyze attacks." I said.

"Incredible!" said Nami.

"Gomu Gomu no…" said Luffy, who just got back up. "Jet Stomp!" Luffy then kicked Jinbe, but Jinbe blocked the attack. He also seemed to mock Luffy's training.

They started running towards each other, ready to throw the next punch. But, all of the sudden, Robin materialized in the middle of them, telling them to stop moving. The two of them couldn't stop, and Sanji ran to save her. When he got to her, she disappeared in a flurry of petals. Sanji looked confused, until the attacks from Luffy and Jinbe collided into him and each other. The three of them were sent flying.

Robin then emerged from the forest, telling them that they shouldn't fight because they were friends. As she was walking over to us, Jinbe was telling Luffy that if he went on a rampage, any trust between Fishmen and humans will be lost. Adding what Luffy did to the Fishman Arlong, the results with a fight with Hordy will add to the loss.

"But saving our captured friends is our duty." said Sanji. "If we leave things like this, Fishman Island will fall into the hands of Hordy. Jinbe, because this is your country gives Luffy another reason to fight."

"I won't let you!" said Jinbe.

"Why you…!" said Luffy. "Fine then, I'll just have to beat you up before I go."

"Oh, shut up!" I yelled. "You're both acting like children!" They started going at it again, but before they could hit each other, I ran in the middle of the two of them. I formed a dark barrier that prevented the two of them to reach each other.While they were restrained, they calmed down enough to talk.

"Jinbe! Get out of my way, I'm going to kick their asses!" screamed Luffy.

"I'm telling you to wait!" said Jinbe. "At least hear me out! What am I to you?"

"My friend!" yelled Luffy.

"That's right," started Jinbe, "but humans and Fishmen have lived for ages without being able to make a single simple relationship. When I told you not to fight Hody, I meant don't thoughtlessly jump into a fight and charge in. If you are going to fight him, don't be a barbarous human, become this island's hero!"

"Hero, no way!" said Luffy. He continued to say that he's a pirate, and while he love's heroes, he doesn't want to be one. Luffy then gave an example about meat and how a hero would share meat, but he wants all the meat.

Jinbe said he'll give Luffy meat, so Luffy stopped talking and listened. Jinbe told us his plan on how he and Megalo, the Princess's pet giant shark, willingly get captured. He said that if he were to call on Luffy at a time in need, the people will know them as accomplices. Then Luffy, hiding in Megalo's would emerge and steal back the Tenryuubito Letter. Nami said she would steal it and Robin agreed to help her. He then told us to figure out a plan to save Zorro and the others by ourselves.

"If what Luffy told me about them is true, they should be at least making an escape plan at the moment." I said

"Maybe, but they aren't the smartest members of the crew." said Nami.

"You should also flee with the King and Princes after you rescue them." said Jinbe.

"Yo! Guys!" said Franky. "The ship can help too!"

"How?" I asked. "Last time I checked, the ship is grounded."

"Don't worry new guy." said Franky. "While I was separated from the rest of the crew, I studied the blueprints that Vegapunk left in his laboratory. Many of them gave me ideas on how to improve the Thousand Sunny. Just give me a few minutes, and I'll be able make the Sunny able to fly."

"A flying pirate ship…" I said. "Well, it's not the weirdest thing I've seen in this world. Now Nami, I bet you're a great thief, but it is the middle of the day, and there will be thousands of people watching Hody, who is possibly smart enough to keep the letter close by."

"Don't worry." said Nami who winked at me. "I'll be well hidden. You see, during my time on the Sky Island, I was able to improve my abilities with the Clima-Tact. So I can easily become invisible while being surrounded by a mirage."

"How cool." I said. After a few minutes Franky finished the modifications to the Sunny.

"C'mon Caeruleus!" yelled Luffy as he stretched his arm around me like a rope. "Into the shark!"

"Luuuuffffyyyyyy!" I screamed as he pulled me towards the shark. Once inside the shark's mouth, I gave Luffy the silent treatment.

"What's wrong?" asked Luffy.

"I am going to kick your ass when we're through with Hody, you got that?" I threatened. I was mad as I could be. Before I was pulled into the giant fish, I was going to try to be on Nami and Robin's team, but no, Luffy wanted me to be with him in the shark.

I could feel the shark lift up on its bubble and swim through the air. It was really boring waiting in the shark, plus it reeked of raw, dead fish. But then we heard Shirahoshi scream and Megalo shook. After a couple of more minutes, there was an intense shaking feeling and Luffy and I were thrown around. I crashed into Megalo's teeth.

"Father! Brothers!" said a muffled Princess.

"Megalo, open your mouth!" I said. "We need to hear the signal." The shark complied.

"It must be my lucky day!" said Hody Jones. "Jahahahahahaha! The only two people I was worried about fell right into my clutches together! I never thought this would turn out so well!

"I'm sorry I caused us to be captures Jinbe-sama." said Shirahoshi.

"What's done is done." said Jinbe.

"So you came after all, Jinbe…" said Hody. As he was talking, I slid forward till I could see outside. Luffy crawled with me. I scanned the area and tried to locate Nami and Robin. I could sense through Haki that they were in position. I continued looking around when I saw Hody Jones. But he looked different than when he was on the screen.

He looked larger, and had a lot more muscle mass. He was as tall as the squid Fishman that had a helmet, and had white hair. I then heard a feminine voice. It said that she had a prediction of Luffy destroying the island. I saw an angry look in Hody's eye and he threw something at the direction of the voice. Many people screamed Madam Shirley. This made Luffy mad, and I had to restrain him from leaving before the signal.

"I'm nothing like your older brother you know!" said Hody. "Let me tell you all, citizens of Fishman Island! The beloved Queen of Ryuuguu Kingdom that you hold so dear… I WAS THE ONE WHO KILLED QUEEN OTOHIME!"

This news made me so angry, that I almost jumped out of Megalo's mouth, but Luffy was holding me down. I could feel my power come to the surface. I tried to calm down so I wouldn't kill Luffy and Megalo after releasing my power. Hody said on the day of the assassination, he paid a human to set fire to the signature box then murdered the Queen. He then used the human as a scapegoat.

"HODY YOU BASTARD!" screamed King Neptune. "HOW DARE YOU!" Hody then shot at the King.

"She was a bother!" yelled Hody. "Going around and crying for union between us and them! She deserved to die! The criminal was me!"

"I already knew." said Shirahoshi, who sounded like she was holding back sobs.

"What do you mean you knew I killed your mother?" asked Hody.

"Megalo told me in secret!" said Shirahoshi. "He used to be the Neptune Army's pet. He saw everything that happened that day!"

"Why didn't you tell anyone?" asked Jinbe.

"Because if I did, people would show Hody resentment, and that would go against mother's final wishes." said Shirahoshi. "If I had told anyone, I would have broken my promise to mother."

"Jahahahahaha!" laughed Hody. "You chose right to tell your tale a stupid girl! If you had told anyone else, my plans would have been crushed. Listen Princess, we call that stupidity in the real world, especially since you haven't told anyone, this country will be mine! Because you hold no hate towards me, everyone you hold dear will die!"

"That's not true!" said Jinbe. "Don't listen to him Shirahoshi! What you did was never wrong!"

"What else would it be but wrong!" said Hody. He turned around and his arm grew wet. He then swung his arm, sending bullets of water at the king and princes. "Yabu Same!"

People were screaming in fear for the lives of their leaders. Hody was laughing like a maniac The King fell down and people were crying out to him. Shirahoshi cried out for her family.

"That bastard!" said Luffy through gritted teeth. "He's gonna pay!"

"Luffy, I understand that your mad, but you need to keep calm." I said. "If you don't, you're going to break our cover."

"But he hurt so many people in this country. He has to-" said Luffy.

"Be quiet Luffy." I said. "Listen…"

"Huh?" said Luffy as he finally got quiet.

"STRAW HAT! COME ON A RAMPAGE HERE RIGHT NOW! IF YOU ARE ANYWHERE ON THE ISLAND, COME HERE NOW!" Crowds of people were screaming for help from Luffy. "STRAW HAT! STRAW HAT! STRAW HAT!"

"You idiots!" screamed Hody as he started to push down on the King's skull. "I'll bring you back to reality! Look closely as the head of Neptune flies through the air."

"Luffy-sama!" screamed Shirahoshi. "Please protect Father!" Megalo then started to choke up and spat us out. Luffy instantly went into Gear Second and ran towards Hody.

"This shameless Ryuuguu Kingdom is finished!" yelled Hody. As he was about to crush the king's skull, Luffy kicked him with a kick infused with Haki. Hody coughed up blood and was sent flying into a wall. There were cheers from the crowds thanking Luffy for saving the King and yelling to him that their happy he came. Hody's men were surprised Luffy was in Megalo's mouth.

"That was disgusting," I said trying to wipe off the shark spit.

"Hurry! All of you!" yelled Luffy.

"It's okay!" said Nami as she undid her mirage. "We were hurrying from the start. Like any such miracle would happen Luffy staying put as planned. Jinbe-san, I got the Letter, and I gave Robin the keys."

"What the? How did she steal the Letter?" asked one Fishman.

"The keys gone too!" said another. Then the Princes and the King fell to the ground, their chains falling off.

"Hey look at the sky? Is that a whale and a…lion?" asked a Fishman. I looked up and saw the Sunny and a giant whale coming into the plaza. The Sunny fired the Gaon Cannon and it caused a small explosion. This gave the whale a good distraction to pick up the King and the Princes. The ship then crashed behind me. I saw Usopp, Zoro, and Brook.

"I see you got yourself out of your cage." I said. "How'd you do it?"

"I spirited my soul to Pappug the Starfish and had him get the key and we escaped!" said Brook.

"Well that's all well and good." I said, then I turned towards the army of Fishmen. "I haven't had a challenge since Marineford with those two soldiers. I bet this gives me a chance to use my powers." I was cracking my knuckles, getting ready for the upcoming fight. I activated my powers and turned my hands into claws of darkness.

"Hody!" said a Fishman. "Look! The Straw Hats are allied with 'Dark Dragon'!"

"What?" yelled Hody as he was regaining consciousness.

"I'M A CREW MEMBER YOU IDIOTS!" I screamed. "I hope that after this mess, people will realize I'm a Straw Hat Pirate."

"How about I sing you a smooth-" started Brook.

"Not now Brook!" I interrupted.

"Hey Straw Hat!" yelled a Fishman on a cliff. "Please answer! Are you a friend to the Fishman Island? Or foes?"

"Friends? Foes?" said Luffy. "You decide!" The Fishmen on the cliff were still cheering him on.

"Hey Luffy, I bet I can take out more of these guys than you." I said.

"What?" said Luffy. "No way! I can beat more of them than you!"

"Wanna bet?" I asked.

"Sure!" agreed Luffy. "What are we betting?"

"The loser has to give half of his meals to the winner for two weeks." I said.

"It's a bet!" he said, shaking my hand.

The others were talking to each other because this is the first time we've been together since we got to the island. Brook was asking the Princess if he could see her underwear, but Nami slapped him in the middle of his sentence. Sanji was bragging to Nami that he saved Zoro and the others, but then Zoro said they escaped by themselves. Franky was telling the crew that there are new weapons that he developed and Usopp got really excited, so he, Nami, Chopper and Pappug went to get the weapons.

Luffy said that Weakhoshi (Shirahoshi's new nickname) did pretty good and Jinbe agreed. Nami then gave the Tenryuubito Letter to Shirahoshi. The Princess questioned why Luffy didn't call her crybaby and he said that he didn't understand why she cried and after what had just been said, he finally understood. Jinbe said that Shirahoshi will become a kind ruler just like her mother.

"Vander Decken was useless!" screamed Hody as he was crawling out of the rubble. "I needed Shirahoshi to be taken care of! Congratulations Jinbe, I fell right into your trap. I should have noticed when you let yourself get captured without a fight! You sure are friendly with humans, aren't you? Even though your sworn brothers Fisher Tiger and Arlong were killed and beaten by humans! Your kind makes me sick! The one who sides with the perpetrators instead of taking vengeance is a cowardly fool worse than Neptune! When I'm King, I'll change everything, and this years' Reverie will be the perfect chance! I will turn the human kings into a bloodbath at Mariejois and the curtain will rise on the legend of the dreaded 'Kingdom of the Sea'! We Fishmen will drag humans from all over the world down to the bottom of the sea and made into our slaves! Before long, no one will oppose the Fishmen anymore! The same goes for the world of Pirates! Look at these Pirates I have under my control! This is your future Straw Hat! I'll be the True Pirate King!" I cringed when Hody said he will be Pirate King, because I knew Luffy's reaction

"Pirate King…?" said Luffy.

"Oh no." I said. "That was an idiotic thing to say."

"Jahahahahaha!" laughed Hody. "What can 10 measly little pirates do? I have 100,000 people here, have a look at them! My Fishman Pirates!" His soldiers screamed and ran towards us, ready to kill.

"With us at 10, it's 1 against 10,000, huh…" said Sanji.

"Numbers don't mean anything here, it's not like their the Marines Elite or anything." said Zorro. "What do you think Luffy? Luffy?"

"He already walked ahead." I said. "And I have a feeling that I lost our bet."

"What bet?" asked Sanji.

"It's Luffy, what else would he bet?" I said.

"Why do you think you lose?" asked Zorro.

"You'll find out in 3..." I said. "2... 1" Luffy then released a burst of Haki, causing about half of the oncoming army to foam at the mouth and become unconscious. The Fishmen on the cliff screamed in shock and awe. The remaining soldiers were too shocked, and kept talking to themselves on how Luffy took out half their army.

"This is Haki!" exclaimed Robin.

"He's got this far in two years." said Jinbe.

"That really surprises you Jinbe?" I asked. "Both Luffy and I got through with what Rayleigh had to teach us earlier than he expected."

"But Rayleigh said that it would take more than two years for the two of you to master Haki!" said Jinbe.

"I'm a fast learner, and when Luffy wants to be, he is to." I said.

"So he had King's Disposition after all, that bastard." said Sanji.

"If he couldn't do that, we'd have to get a new captain." said Zoro.

"Sanji, once this mess is over, you need to give Luffy half of my meals for two weeks." I said.

Luffy walked a little bit forward and looked directly at Hody. Luffy told Hody that he can be any type of 'king' he wants, wherever he wants. Luffy didn't care.

"But there's no need for more than one King of the Pirates!" screamed Luffy. He then jumped in the air and did his Giant Arm attack, sending many soldiers flying. "Go on! Bring a million people! I'll take you all on!" The rest of the Straw Hats were preparing to fight.

Angry, Hody threw a drop of water at Shirahoshi, but Jinbe deflected it, saying that Hody's Fishman Karate pales in comparison to his, despite Hody's vast increase of strength. A squad of Fishmen called the Firing Squad aimed at Shirahoshi, but Brook hypnotized with his Party Music. He had them fire into the sky, and then he slashed them all with his sword. A group of Fishmen with shields came at Zoro. Zoro put a sword in his mouth and used his Santouryuu to create a whirlwind that sliced the shields and the Fishmen.

I saw some of the Fishman ascend and they started to ram into Sanji. Right before they landed a hit, Sanji jumped into the air at an incredible height. He then used his Diable Jambe technique to heat up his leg and kicked the Fishmen at an incredible speed. Some of the ground forces came across two giant pairs of legs that Robin formed using her Devil Fruit. Another squad came after Robin, exclaiming that her giant legs could still be poisoned, but before they could do anything, Franky came out of the ship with a motorcycle that has a vague resemblance to a rhino and rammed into them. A Fishman with a spiked ball and chain was about to attack Franky, but he was blasted by a tank in the shape of a brachiosaurus. Luffy was very excited by the dino-tank.

"Kraken! Enter the Plaza!" said Hody. "There are only 11 of them! Crush them underfoot and put an end to them!" Surume pooped his head up and looked confused. Hody demanded that Surume hurry up and kill us, because he brought him all the way from the North and that Surume was his slave. Luffy saw Surume and asked him if he could ride on him again since there friends. Surume then smiled and reached for Luffy. I, unfortunately, was standing too close to Luffy, so I was grabbed as well and put on Surume's back. Surume then attacked the Fishmen. After about a minute, I grew bored.

"Well Luffy, I'm not going to let the crew have all the fun." I said. I jumped off of Surume and attacked a group of Fishmen. "Fist of the Shadow Sovereign!" I landed and punched the ground, creating an explosion in the shape of a sphere. The attack blew everyone in the area away. More of the Fishmen came at me with swords. "A sword fight? Oh I need a real challenge, but I guess that you'll do for now." I formed two Nexus Blades and attacked. I sliced their swords and kicked them away. The Fishmen behind me swung his sword, but I ducked, and swept my leg under him, causing him to fall.

After a few minutes, I had taken out quite a few Fishmen. I heard someone laugh and a large bang. I turned around and I was hit with a cannon ball. I heard that the Fishman was laughing even louder. I turned into black spectral energy and 'slithered' behind the soldier.

"Was that seriously the best you could do?" I asked as I reformed. He turned around and was about to fire until I attacked him. "Shadow Mimicry-Jet Bazooka!" Both of my arms turned into black energy, and like Luffy, I stretched my arms back extremely fast and threw them forward. When they collided, the Fishman coughed up a little blood and was pushed a great distance away. "Now, who's next?"

Many more Fishmen came at me, but I easily defeated them. When I heard Hody yell at Luffy, I looked in that direction. Luffy was walking towards Hody when two Fishmen Generals jumped in front of him to stop Luffy. Luffy kept on walking because Zoro and Sanji deflected their attacks. Luffy then began to beat the living hell out of Hody. Even the iron shields that Hody used for protection were no match for Luffy's new found strength. Then I noticed a very large shadow. I looked up and was speechless. There was a giant ship in the sky! It didn't look liked it had anything to make it move, but it was moving.

The bubble that surrounded the island began push in. The ship was trying to enter the island. Everyone was freaking out, stating that the island will be destroyed. Then the giant creature that we met before the volcano erupted came flying from the sky. Hody crawled out of the rubble (again) and yelled at Vander Decken, who I can only guess, is a Fishman. I heard him say that he has a Devil Fruit ability, an ability to throw anything and it will always hit his acquired target, never stopping until it does hit the target.

People were in a mass hysteria. They kept screaming that the bubble was going to pop any moment. Then the ship began to move away. I noticed a figure in the water and realized that it was the Princess. She was being a diversion. As the ship was following the Princess, I noticed Hody climbing the chains to the ship, and Luffy was following after being shot up in the air with a kick from Sanji. The people of Fishmen Island were helping by trying to slow down the ship, but Hody shot at them with water. As the Princess went into the connection tube between the palace and the island, the ship lifted of the bubble, causing me to lose sight of Luffy.

I heard the giant crying and looked over. I walked over to Jinbe and asked what was going on, and Jinbe had no idea. After he was given some pills, the giant became stronger and attacked Surume. The giant then punched at Jinbe, but Jinbe blew him away with a kick. Then Sanji kicked him away from Nami. The giant began crying and Jinbe and Sanji said they will fight him. I asked if I could help, and Sanji said to butt out. Jinbe on the other hand said that if I really wanted to, I can help.

"Now, what shall I do? Oh, I know… " I said myself. I clapped my hands together and focused my powers. "Black Star-Supernova!" I created a black sphere, about the size of a baseball, and gave it a push towards the giant. He looked and was about to touch it when it detonated. It created such a concussive force that it blew most of the fighters away. Sanji, Jinbe, and I were able to withstand the blast. The giant looked really hurt, but he survived. Actually, he looked like he was about to through a tantrum.

"Wasn't that supposed to kill him?" asked Sanji.

"No." I said. "I wasn't trying to kill him."

"I'll show you, I'll show you!" said the giant. I heard in the background people calling him Wadatsumi. "Beware! Mega Monster!" He took a deep breath and he grew bigger by inflating himself.

"Jinbe, Is he a Fishman?" I asked.

"Yes he is." said Jinbe.

I heard Wadatsumi mumbling something fast when I noticed Sanji was on his cheek. He then inflated more and I realized Sanji's plan. Make the giant larger in order to decrease its mobility. Clever.

"Nico Robin!" yelled Jinbe. "Could you free the humans?" Robin agreed after stating the human slaves have resentment against Fishman Island. Jinbe said that as long as they don't attack the people of the island, he doesn't care what happens as long as Hody's men don't act like the Tenryuubito. All the while, Sanji kept on fooling Wadatsumi to increase his size, and then Sanji said that it was time to me and Jinbe.

"Fishmen Karate Ultimate Technique-" cried out Jinbe with a hand full of water. "Barbican!" He thrust his arm forward, creating a large pillar of water that when it collided with Wadatsumi, it created a shockwave and pierced the giant. This attack sent him flying. Sanji was in the air at the time and then he activated his newest attack.

"Hells Memories!" screamed Sanji, who was lit on fire. He then kicked Wadatsumi, igniting him.

"Caeruleus! Now!" screamed both Jinbe and Sanji. I was right under Wadatsumi. I looked up, lifted my hands above my head, and attacked.

"Black Lotus- Petal Barrage!" I yelled. From a ball of dark energy, I sent out little blades of darkness that looked like petals. They hit the target, spinning him around and cutting him. Wadatsumi fell to the ground and created a small earthquake. I walked forward to the rest of the crew.

"You should have made him fall farther away new guy." said Zoro.

"Blah, blah, blah." I said.

"Excuse me?" asked Zoro, swords ready to be used.

"Nothing." I said. I then heard the people switch from cheering us to screaming in panic. "What are they screaming about?"

"Look up!" yelled Nami.

"It's Noah!" screamed Jinbe. "It's still falling!"

"Hurry Luffy." I whispered. "Save this island like I know you can." Then after a few moments, the ship stopped. I was in shock, for giant sea monsters were holding it up. Then they took Noah in the direction of the Sea Forest. Then the people were celebrating because the Royal Family of Fishman Island had Hody and his crew in chains. I then heard crying from above, so I looked up and felt fear. "Luffy!"

As I rushed to him, Chopper was already telling Robin to stop Luffy's bleeding. When Chopper realized that he doesn't have Luffy's blood type available, he and Franky were asking any and every one for type F blood. I was asked, but I told him that I have Type AB Negative. They stared at me like I was crazy. Several people said they have Type F, but according to the laws of the island, Fishmen aren't allowed to share their blood with humans. Then Jinbe came over, stating that he has the same blood type as Luffy. He said that because he is a pirate, he doesn't have to follow the Island's laws.

"Jinbe…" said Luffy after regaining consciousness, "Join my crew!"

"Luffy, if you don't want to be treated like a hero, we should get out of here." I said. "They are starting to celebrate." Luffy agreed and I helped carry him to the Sunny.

Megalo the shark pulled the Sunny through the air. Shirahoshi was with us and she asked why we were leaving the plaza. Zoro said something around the line that he didn't want to share any booze. Luffy was fully recovered after a few moments and demanding that Jinbe join the crew. Usopp and Chopper were cheering Luffy on and begging Jinbe to join, but Jinbe said that he can't join right now because he has to settle a couple of things first. Jinbe promised Luffy that when he gets what needs to be done finished he'll join the crew, and every member of the crew say that they can't wait for him to join.

All of a sudden, a knight of the Royal Family gave us a message that King Neptune invited us to a feast and Luffy immediately said yes. We turned around and headed for Ryuuguu Palace.

When we arrived at the Palace, we were guided onto fish with air bubbles on their backs. Apparently, the banquet hall was underwater. On the way to the Feast, we saw the people of the island cheering as they looked at us. As we arrived, we were introduced to Fishman Island's greatest singer Maria Napole. AS the Mermaid Café Dancers arrived, Sanji got excited and petrified himself, again. We all had a good time partying. I was eating and drinking. I also got a little buzzed with the alcohol Zoro made me drink. It was the most fun I had in my life, and I would never give it up.

"Jinbe, what have the Marines been doing the past two years?" I asked, thinking he would know of what has been going on in the world.

"Aokiji and Akainu had a large fight. Sengoku retired and gave the position to Aokiji." said Jinbe. "The high authorities of the government supported Akainu though. So they fought for the position of Fleet Admirable on an uninhabited island for ten days. They gave each other great injuries, but Akainu was victorious. Aokiji quit he Marines and hasn't been heard from since. Over these past two years, the Marines have become a ruthless force of 'Justice' under Akainu's control."

"So no new news over two Vice Admirals?" I asked.

"Well, there are two new Admirals, 'Spatial King' Kyle and 'Time Lord' Brett." said Jinbe. "They are as ruthless as Akainu, and are the Marines greatest weapons."

"Kyle… Brett…" I said with sadness while clutching my chest. "Why have you become what you are?"

"Do you know the Admirals." asked Nami.

"No, not anymore." I said, bottling up my emotions. Jinbe then went on to talk about how Blackbeard has already conquered most of Whitebeard's territory and is considered as one of the strongest four pirates in the world. Blackbeard and his crew are also said to be hunting for strong Devil Fruit powers.

After a while, I sensed something. I conversed with Luffy, so we, along with Zoro and Sanji, went to check on the Princess. We went to her room and saw her being attacked by the mud-man in a strait jacket. I think his name was Caribou or something like that. As soon as we entered the room, though, he looked towards us and ran away like a coward. Nami and the King came in and the King said that Caribou must have been the treasure thief. Nami asked that if the Straw Hats capture Caribou if she can keep the treasure and the King said that it would be good payment for the ones who saved his country. Then I swear that Nami's eyes turned into the symbol for Beli. And then she told the four of us to follow Caribou and get the treasure.

"And when did you get the authority to tell me what to do, Nami? Tell you what, how about you go find the treasure, and I go enjoy the party. Is that a good idea?" I asked. Nami didn't say anything. She just stared at me.

-20 minutes later-

"Evil little psychopath." I said with a black eye and cut lip. Luffy was laughing under his breath. "Something you want to say Luffy?"

"Nope." He said with his goofy smile.

As the four of us, being Luffy, Zorro, Sanji, and I, I walked around and noticed that the man we were looking for was walking right ahead of us. I pointed him out and Luffy jumped ahead of everyone, using only one punch to knock out the mud man. Then the treasure was expelled from his body, probably because he can't control his powers when knocked unconscious. We gathered the treasure into bags and started carrying them back to the ship. On our way, we walked by the candy factory, and there was a rather large crowd there. The citizens were cheering Luffy and asked him if he enjoyed the feast. He said yes, but he liked the sweets of the island the best.

Then an upright lion wearing a fancy suit started yelling at Luffy for eating the sweets. He demanded that Luffy give the sweets back. But the citizens said that it was impossible. Before it could freak out some more, a man with extremely long legs started to tell the lion to calm sown and find some sort of compromise for the candy. He made sure if Luffy did eat the candy, to which Luffy said that he did and wants some more. The man went on to say that Fishman Island is under protection of Big Mom of the Yonkou. The price of the protection is ten tons of candy per month.

Luffy said that he would like to meet Big Mom since he believes she is nice. The long legged man said that he and his partner will wait till the next day to get the candy, but the official that's representing Fishman Island said that it is impossible for the candy to be produced with the factory as damaged as it is. Sanji asked what would happen if the Emperor didn't get the sweets. The long legged man said that the pact to protect the island will dissolve, and Big Mom would destroy the island. Luffy then freaked out, stating that we just saved the island, and destroying a country over candy was stupid.

Then there was a ringing. The lion pointed to a snail and said that it was Big Mom. Everyone was too afraid to answer. Then Luffy picked it up and started talking to the Emperor. The Emperor asked who was talking and Luffy in introduced himself. Big Mom said that she knew of Garp. She wondered what happened to all of her candy, and Luffy said he ate it, all ten tons of it. Luffy offered to give her all of the treasure we have collected. I tried to warn him that Nami will be angry if we give away the treasure, but he didn't listen. The long legged man persuaded Big Mom to accept the treasure as a captain Kidd destroyed a couple of their ships in the past couple of days. The Emperor said that she'll aim her anger from Fishman Island to Luffy. Luffy said he didn't care and that he was going to kick her ass and make Fishman Island his turf.

We then gave the two representatives the bags of treasure. As we were walking, Luffy calmed down a bit.

"You know that Nami is going to be pissed off when she finds out about this, right?" I asked Luffy.

-20 Minutes Later-

"YOU GAVE ALL THE TREASURE TO BIG MOM!" said Usopp, Nami and King Neptune.

"She said that she was going to destroy the island because you guys don't have candy!" screamed Luffy in defense. "She's nuts! I can understand if it was meat, right? Relax though, I said I'll fight back!" Everybody was shocked and reacted negatively towards Luffy's statement. Nami then walked toward Luffy.

"You were just standing your ground, I know." said Nami with a smile. "You're a man you have to fight…"

"I know! No matter who it is!" replied Luffy. Then the next thing I knew, I was on the ground, injured, along with Luffy, Zoro and Sanji. I was bleeding and had large bumps on my head. I got up before the other three due to my healing capabilities.

"What was that for!" I asked.

"For letting Luffy just give all the treasure away!" Nami screamed.

"Luffy wasn't kidding when he said you loved money." I said. "Luffy, I think we should get off the island. Even though you want to fight Big Mom for the right to protect it, you can't endanger the innocent lives of the citizens."

"Your right…" said Luffy. "Franky, is the ship coated yet?"

"Yeah it is. I go make the SUPER preparations then we can leave." said Franky. Franky then left and headed to the ship. The Princess was sad because we were leaving, but we explained that we had to go. King Neptune said that we will need supplies in the New World, so he had his servants gather as much supplies that they could get their hands on. They were put into bags and carts. Each of us was given something to carry. Jinbe even helped out. Franky had the ship all ready to go as soon as Luffy gave the order.

"It was great seeing you Jinbe." I said. "I just realized that I never really thanked you."

"Thanked me for what?" asked Jinbe.

"For being my friend when I first came to this world." I said. "I was confused and scared. You and Ace helped me out." Jinbe then smiled and pulled me into a tight hug.

"It was nothing." said Jinbe. "I am glad to see that you have become stronger. I hope you find your family and return home." I cringed at the mention of my family. Is something wrong Caeruleus?"

"No, it… it's nothing." I then walked away while Luffy said his goodbyes to Jinbe. Then Jinbe left the ship.

"Everyone, let's get ready!" screamed Luffy. "I don't know exactly what we'll face in the New World, but I know we can beat anything when we are together! Now! Set sail!" We then had the coating expand and we left he island, off on to our next adventure, and to the beginning of the end.
