I'm back! ;) Enjoy this chapter!
"It's said that the sea robs devil fruit users not only of their abilities, but also every bit of their energy, as well," Arlong said, "The fact that that rubber brat isn't dead by now means that somebody's been unfairly interfering in out 'game'."
"Unfairly interfere?" Zoro asked, "I personally never considered this game to be a fair one from the beginning."
"It was more like a time limit for us and to make us rush through our battles," Natsu said.
"Even so, I do need to see who's been doing the interfering," Arlong said.
"Hey, Arlong! Over here!" Usopp called out.
Arlong looked at Usopp. "Usopp-!" A rubber band was stretched, "Rubber Band!"
"You, standing before me, means that you want me to kill you first, right?!" Arlong questioned them.
Usopp let go of the rubber band as it didn't fly very far. "Now, Zoro, Natsu! Attack!"
"The hell are you even trying to do?!" Nami yelled at Usopp.
"I'll break that nose you're so proud of!" Zoro got into a battle stance.
"I'm all fired up," Natsu got into a battle stance, as well.
Zoro went after Arlong's long, sharp nose, though, he couldn't break it. "Fool! It's because my nose won't break, that I'm so proud of it!" Arlong laughed.
Zoro continued to struggle. "Just perhaps! If you were in better health, you might have left a little scar on it!" Arlong pushed Zoro back.
"Look! Over there!"
"Ah! That octopus is back up!"
"What's he doing though?"
Hatchan had all 6 hands in front of his face as he seemed to be bracing for something to happen. "Huh?" He broke from the defensive position.
"Damn it! I thought that rubber band might have hit me!" Hatchan said, shocked.
"What?!"
"What?!" Usopp was shocked for a moment before he had a satisfied grin on is face, "Hah! Exactly what I was aiming for!"
"But you shouted Arlong..." The villagers were now confused.
"Octopus," Zoro looked over to Hatchan.
"I won't let you bastards have your way!" Hatchan said, jumping into the ocean, "I'll kill your friend that just went into the sea!"
"Crap!" Natsu dived in, as well, going to try and stop the octopus.
A frustrated look was on Zoro's face. "There's no need to look so frustrated because either way, you'll all die!" A satisfied grin lay on Arlong's face as he pushed Zoro to the ground.
Natsu tried to swim as fast as possible to reach Hatchan before anything happened, but the fishman was too fast. Nojiko and Sanji switched places and as Hatchan was about to punch Nojiko who went to defend Sanji, Sanji turned to see her about to be punched.
"Zoro!" Usopp tried to climb over the wall while Zoro was at defeat, being held at the neck by Arlong.
"What's with all these bandages, anyways? Did you happen to fall down somewhere?" Arlong ripped off the bandages that covered the wound that Hawkeyes had given him.
"W-what's with these wounds?!" Arlong was shocked.
Zoro glared down at Arlong. Arlong was about to give the final blow, but then Zoro started to laugh, confusing the fishman. "If you had lied down quietly," Zoro said, "Those wounds wouldn't have reopened."
"How true, laughing at your sad state now?" Arlong asked Zoro.
"I'm not talking about myself, I'm talking about that octopus," Zoro clarified.
"What?!" Arlong was even more confused.
"Didn't we already tell you? That this game is ours for the taking," Zoro told Arlong.
The wound Zoro gave Hatchan opened up, stopping him from punching Nojiko. Natsu and Sanji were put at relief and Sanji broke the concrete that held Luffy's feet, allowing Luffy's body to be lifted out of the water, launching him into the air. "I'm back!" Luffy yelled out as he was in midair.
Everyone was relieved that Luffy was alright, well, except for Arlong.
"That rubber brat," Arlong cursed.
"So damn late, you moron!" Zoro was relieved that Luffy was alright.
"Zoro!" Luffy extended his arms, grabbing a hold of Zoro.
"Huh?!" Zoro didn't like what was going to happen next, "H-hey, you wouldn't be... doing what I think you're doing, are you...?"
Luffy only grinned. "Switch with me!" Luffy sent Zoro flying while Luffy was launched at Arlong.
"You dumbass!" The villagers yelled at Luffy.
"Gomu Gomu no..." Luffy extended his neck.
"Bell!" Luffy hit Arlong on the head and landed on the ground before giving another attack, "And... Whip!"
He hit Arlong at the side, sending him flying. "Bullet!" He then punched Arlong in the gut before getting ready to let loose even more punches.
"Gatling Gun!"
Arlong hit the building and Luffy stood there, Arlong sat up from the rubble. "Did you just do something?" Arlong asked Luffy.
"Yup. My warm-up exercise," Luffy cracked his knuckles.
Zoro crawled out of the water as he cursed at Luffy, "I swear... I'll kill him..."
Hey! Probably didn't expect me o be back! Yeah, so, I'm on break and decided that in these next two weeks, I will finish this arc up for sure. I'm going to get a chapter up daily except for Christmas Day and the weekend for sure. Though, I want to thank all of you for supporting this story. It's been quite a joy writing it ;) Though, come back tomorrow for another chapter!
