Chapter 37: Red Dragon Park!

The next day after eating lunch Rin resumed her search for Rai-Long using her powers on the upper deck of the ship a blue aura surrounds her as everyone watches anxiously "Thank god for her psychic powers eh?" Violet said giggling as Lucius side hugs her "Totally..." he replied as Luffy keeps eye contact with Rin a serious look on his face "I hope she finds him... that fucker is gonna pay for all the pain and suffering he's caused others!" he said clentching his fists tightly.

Rin's eyebrows twitched as a sweat drop appears on her forehead "She's really concentrating hard..." Zoro said while side hugging Ghanti who nods in agreement "I just hope she doesn't over due it... the more she uses her powers the weaker she becomes" she replied a look of concern on her face.

Nami opened her mouth to say something but stopped when she saw Rin's eyes open suddenly as she floated back down to the deck "I found him it wasn't easy... his powers are incredible!" Rin gasped while she sucked a bit of air as she stood up "So where is the coward hiding Sweet Pea?" Lucius asked curiously and everyone looked at Rin intently.

Rin smiled as she wiped the sweat off her forehead "Oddly enough... he's currently prowling around Cocoyashi Island" she replied making them all gasp in shock "Why there!?" Luffy said rubbing his chin as Nami shakes her head "Doesn't matter we're going there now... just hope my sister is okay" she said walking off as Rin flies upwards and wraps her arms around Lucius's neck from behind.

Luffy smiles darkly "Cocoyashi Island... that's a day away from our current location right?" he asked as Lucius reaches up and runs a hand through Rin's hair "Sure is Uncle Luffy..." Rin said giggling happily, Luffy nods as he replies "Lets just hope he doesn't leave before we get there..." then punches his palm hard as Anne nodded "Yeah I'm really itching to put my sword right through his heart!" she said clutching her sword tightly.

The next day they arrive on Cocoyashi Island it's a sunny and warm day "Hey Rin were you able to pin point his exact location on this island?" Luffy asked curiously as they disembark the ship and set foot onto the island "No sorry Uncle Luffy..." she replied as Nami stretched and looked around "Home sweet home..." she said with a grimace.

Luffy sighs in annoyance "Its alright we can just ask around I guess..." he replied putting his arm across Nami's shoulders and kissing her cheek as Rin giggles "Yeah I guess s-" she started saying then stopped and went wide eyed "What's wrong sweetie?" Anne asked looking at her in concern her hand resting on her sword that rests at her side.

Rin raises her eyebrows "I was trying to find him using my powers and that cocky bastard just let me know where he is... he actually wants us to find him!" she replied and everyone turned to look at her suddenly "Perfect! you and Lucius can lead the way then..." Luffy said excitedly as they all ran off.

After a few minutes everyone reacted with shock when Rin lead them right to Arlong Park which had been rebuilt in a much darker light the walls which are now pitch black and the entrance that has a black dragon head with red eyes above it give off a very ominous feeling "You sure you want to go in there? no one going in there has ever come back out..." a familiar voice said from behind them.

The gang turn around and smile when they see a woman who looks like Nami with light blue hair and eyes standing there looking at them a look of fear on her otherwise calm face "Nojiko!" Nami said walking over and hugging her tightly "Now that's hot!" Sanji said with heart eyes only to get punched in the face by Zoro knocking him down "Now's not the time Sanji!" he said in annoyance making everyone else snicker.

Nami smiles as she looks at Nojiko "Nojiko what happened here?" she asked curiously and Nojiko sighed softly "It all happened a few months back this bastard Rai-Long shows up out of nowhere and using some freaky power of his rebuilt Arlong Park then called it his Red Dragon Park and said this island was now his... several people have challenged him but none of them were ever seen again!" she replied shivering a bit in fear.

Luffy looks back at the redesigned Arlong Park "I'm not impressed..." he replied with a slight growl "If its not one thing with us its another..." Nojiko replied as Anne walked up "Don't worry Nojiko... this bastards going down!" she said holding up a fist while Nojiko nods "Thank you Anne..." she replied hugging her softly.

Sanji's heart eyes returned only to get punched back down by Zoro "Stop it!" he demanded making everyone laugh "Nojiko get yourself to safety... I promise you we'll be fine" Luffy said turning his head to look at her and she nods "Right and Luffy... take him down!" she replied running off as the gang turns to look at Red Dragon Park "Are you guys ready?" Zoro asked unsheathing his swords.

They all nod and look serious "Lets do this!" Luffy said as they all calmly walk into the park.
