Part 11: The new Fishman pirates
In the fishman distract near a large ship called the Noah. Multiple human pirates were running towards their ship. "Hurry nows our chance, we have to go," one of the men said.
"Get ready to set sail, were leaving here now," another one said as they boarded a coated ship. The ship then started moving as some of the pirates started to look relieved.
"Alright, looks like we got out without them noticing," One said.
"Were never coming near this place ever again," another pirate said.
"But what about the mermaid café," one pirate said looking a little down.
"Don't think about that now," his crew mate said looking annoyed.
"Lets just hurry and get past the red line,".
The captain of the ship then stepped forward. He was crab hand Gyro with a bounty of seventy three millions berries and had metal crab craw attached to his left arm.
"I cant believe this," he said looking annoyed, "We got past the sleeping kraken only to be surrounded by sea beasts at thirty thousand feet under the sea," he said.
"They gave us a choice, work for them or die, we didn't have any other choice so we chose life,".
"But captain, I wanted to go see the mermaid café," the pirate who had complained said still looking down.
"Would you stop talking about that, just be glad we all got out of there alive," the captain said before looking ahead.
But back down in the fishman district in a room, a fishman walked in, "Captain, the humans we captured have escaped," he said.
"They escaped huh," a voice said.
In front of the fishman were members of the fishman pirates, "They ran away dosun, they just don't know when to give up," Dosun, a hammerhead fishman said.
"This isnt the first the humans have escaped," Zeo said. He was a woebegong shark fishman and covered in light blue and indigo stripes.
"This time we should rip them apart limb from limb," Daruma, a cookie cutter shark fishman said.
The next one was Ikarus Much, a giant squid fishman. Sitting in the chair was the captain of the new fishman pirates, Hody Jones. A greate white shark fishman.
"Then I guess will have to make an example out of them again," Hody said.
"Muuchi, I will take care of them captain," Ikaros said.
"No Ikaros you stay here," Hody said.
"Understood," Ikaros said.
"Ill go," Hody said as he reached into a bowl and grabbed some pills. They were red and blue with a checker design on them.
"Get the bubble ready," he said before throwing the pills into his mouth.
"Hey captain your taking to many again," Daruma said.
But Hody then stood up as his his muscles grew and he looked like he was in pain. Then his eyes turned red.
At Goverly hills some of the straw hats were standing in front of Pappagus mansion, "Well everyone looks like were here," he said.
Then multiple fishman walked outside greeting them, "Welcome back monsieur Pappagu," one of them said.
"Its good to have you back sir," another said.
"Wow this place is huge," said Luffy.
"This here is my place," Pappagu said as other fishmen started to notice him.
"I guess hes really famous around here," Hermione said.
"Yeah but I'm almost sure this world had more the one brand of clothing," said Star.
"Wait you've never heard of the criminal brand fashion lion," Pappagu said.
"That's because their not from our world Pappagu," Nami said smiling nervously.
"What," Camie said looking surprised.
"My world have different brands, thought I made this jacket myself," Star said.
"He also made most of my clothes for when I needed to change," said Hermione.
"Wait does that mean he made your?" Nami asked looking surprised.
"I don't think that matters since were married," Hermione said looking annoyed.
"Hey now that I mention it where did you get those jeans," Star said before Pappagu got their attention.
"Anyway outside of fishman island I'm just a fashionable starfish, but here I'm the president of the criminal brand fashion line," Pappagu said smiling, "I have stores all over the world," he said continuing to explain when Luffy spoke up.
"Hey is that a store at the top," Luffy said.
"Good catch, though the first floor is the criminal brand store," Camie said.
"Well since were here we might as well do some shopping, hey Pappagu you better give us a discount," Nami said getting the starfish's attention.
"Discount, no you guys don't need one, after what you did for us two years ago you can have as much as you want for free," Pappagu said.
"Yes, come on Hermione we got to do some shopping," Nami said.
"Wait what," she said looking confused.
"Don't worry the boys will help us in a few minutes, get ready to carry things Luffy," Nami said smiling at her boyfriend before leading Hermione into the store.
"Shes probably going to take everything," Usopp said.
"Wait what," Pappagu said looking shocked.
"You did say take as much as we want," Usopp said smiling before looking at Star, "Hey maybe you should give Luffy the talk while you have the time," he said.
"Good point, come on Luffy will talk outside the store," Star said said before the two of them walked to the side of the store.
Meanwhile inside the store Nami was taking everything off the rails and shelves, "You looked nervous when we first walked in, you not use to shopping with other girls," Nami said.
"Not really, before I ended up with Heaven my biggest friends were with two boys and I did most of my shopping when I was at home," Hermione said before picking up a shirt.
"Boys, he mustn't have been happy about that," Nami said.
"He was fine with it, but it was a little tough when we watched the movies together," Hermione said.
"Why's that," Nami said.
"Lets just say a different version of me ended up with one of my friends," Hermione said making her look surprised.
"So you didn't feel anything for that friend," Nami said.
"No, to me he was just a good friend while Heaven was the man I fell in love with," Hermione said.
"I see, so about the clothes he made for you," said Nami smiling.
"I had him make the ones I wanted him to make," Hermione said smiling as the two of them laughed. After picking up more clothes Hermione called Star in and he walked in with Luffy whos face was little red.
"Hey Luffy, can you help us carry these bags," said Nami.
"Yeah sure," said Luffy grabbing a bag when Hermione handed Star another and he looked confused.
"What is it?" Hermione asked noticing the look on his face.
"I feel stronger," he said.
"Well your power was to increase your body's strength to its limit," Hermione said.
"Yeah its just going to take some getting use too, I didn't have time to think about it much earlier," Star said as Usopp walked in and grabbed another bag.
"Monsieur Pappagu, I'm afraid they've cleaned out the entire store," one of the servants said.
"Long nose was right, you did take everything," Pappagu said.
"You did say everything was free," Hermione said.
"Of course we did," Luffy said smiling when one of the servants ran inside.
"Monsieur Pappagu theres trouble outside," he said.
"Whats going on," Pappagu said.
"Don't worry everything's fine," Star said and Pappagu looked surprised to see the bright blue light covering his body.
"Why are you lighting up," he said.
"That's just my power," Star said calmly as the light stopped covering his body.
"Do you know whats going on outside then?" Usopp asked still holding up the bag of shopping.
"Yeah, come on youll like this," he said smiling before heading outside with the bag of shopping on his back.
"Up there," Hermione said pointing up in the sky and they noticed a large whale coming down.
"Whats he doing," one of the mermaids said looking surprised.
"Whats he doing out of Ryugu palace without his guards,".
"There must be an emergency, some big pirate must have invaded the island,".
Some of the mermaids began to walk away as the whale got lower and the straw hats noticed a large merman sitting on the back of it. He had an orange beard and orange hair with a crown on top it.
This was the god of the sea, he was King Neptune of the Ryuko kingdom. A calcoth merman. He was riding on his pet whale Hoe.
"Neptune," King Neptune said from the whale as it let out a noise.
"That's one big merman," Usopp said.
"I much prefer mermaids," said Brook.
"Whos the hairy old guy," said Luffy.
"Don't be rude, get down and bow you idiot," Pappagu said looking annoyed.
As they got lower they noticed a shark wearing a criminal shirt swimming next to Neptune, "Hey isnt that the Shark Surume had," Hermione said pointing him out.
"Yeah I think hes," Star said before putting a hand on his head.
"Mister Star, are you alright," Brook said.
"Yeah, just some old memories coming back," Star said as he took a breath trying not to focus on the images he saw of what happens on fishman island.
"Well Megalo, are these the ones you saw," Neptune said.
The shark, now known as Megalo nodded.
"I see," Neptune said before looking at the straw hats who looked back at him.
"What does king Neptune want with the humans," a mermaid said.
"Whats going to happen to them," Camie said.
"I don't know," Pappagu said looking nervous.
"Straw hat pirates," Neptune said, "I invite you all to Ryugu palace jamon,".
"Ryugu palace," Camie and Pappagu said looking surprised.
"Huh," most of the straw hats said looking confused.
"I did say it would be fine," Star said.
Meanwhile out in the sea, the pirates that had escaped fishman island were trying to leave, "Hurry, we need to leave before they realize we're gone," Gyro said.
"Sorry captain, its hard to move through the currents this deep,".
"That's why we should have upgraded to a paddle ship, we know what the new world is," Gyro said before one of the crew mates pointed at something head.
"Captain, its Hody Jones," he said.
In front of the ship was Hody Jones, but for some reason his hands were handcuffed.
"Looks like they found out," Gyro said looking angry.
"Yeah but why is he handcuffed,".
"Jahahhaha," Hody said as he held up his hands that were still restrained.
Back with the other members of the fishman pirates, Ikaros picked up some of the pills Hody had taken before he left.
"We got our hands on something real good," he said, "Energy steroids, the ultimate power drug," he said.
Back with the pirates their ship suddenly shook as they were hit by something, "What was that," he said before noticing a large hole in the ship.
"Where did he go," Gyro said before before an explosion went off in the middle of the deck.
"Hes somewhere on the ship," one of the pirates said before Hody burst through the ground and grabbed one of the pirates.
"Help hes got me," he said.
"Captain what do we do,".
"Help us,".
"Shut up, "Gyro said before taking out his sword, "This isn't the first time I fought against a fishman and we've come to far to be stopped now, I'm taking you down Hody," he said before yelling as he ran at the fishman.
Hody threw the crew man away before biting into Gyros crab arm and breaking it. Making everyone look surprised as Gyro screamed in pain.
"He got the captain,".
"Just shoot," one of the pirates said.
The pirates tried shooting but Hody just stood there with a smile on his face while the pirates looked shock. He then bit into the mast.
"Now I know why he's handcuffed, he's showing that he can sink our ship without using his hands," one pirate said looking shocked.
Back at the fishman hideout, "A fishman is ten times stronger then a human, take one energy steroid and you double that strength, take another then you double that," Ikaros said holding up a pill.
"But the price we have to pay is that it shortens our life span, but that won't stop us from completing our goal," he said.
"Thats right, Kya Kyra," Daruma said before laughing.
"Humans are responsible for Fisher Tigers end," Zeo said speaking up, "We will continue Arlongs will, the dark history of fishman island will end with our generation and we the new fishman pirates will make it happen,".
Back in the sea, "What is he doing," one of the pirates said looking at Hody that was holding up the ships mast. Hody then threw the mast into the ship causing an explosion that hit most of the pirates. The coating was almost destroyed before a large bubble was put around the ship.
The crew, including captain Gyro were lying on the ground badly injured and defeated.
"Bring them up to the new world," Hody said before breaking free from the handcuffs.
"Yes boss," a fishman said.
"You didn't kill them all did you," another fishman said.
"Of course not, I need them to deliver a message," Hody said.
"Right," a fishman said before a group started to push the ship up.
"That's right, let your injured bodies be a message to all the humans up there and let them know who did this to you," he said, "Tell them what happened to you here and let them be afraid of us," he said before looking at the other fishmen.
"We will take the throne of fishman island from that old king Neptune and then we will push the humans into the depths of the sea," he said, "Then they will know which race is superior,".
