One Piece: Truly Precious

Now, I know a lot of you are wondering how I will deal with the fact that the crew went out of their way to help Nami, meaning that Kuro will be able to win. My response is this: a stone thrown in a pond will extend ripples to the far shore. What I mean is that because of the changes in the timeline, Kuro's plans will be slightly altered by things that happened this time around. Thus, everything will be fine.

Enjoy part two of the Arlong Arc.

Disclaimer: I own nothing.

Arlong looked over the broken and beaten bodies of his fellow Fishmen with a look of rage and fury. These humans had decimated nearly his entire crew in one fell swoop.

"You," snarled Arlong, "you humans! I'm going to tear you apart."

"Bring it on fish face," taunted Luffy.

Arlong took a step forward, but his three lieutenants stepped up to block his way.

"Lord Arlong," said Kurobi, "do not lose control yet. We can still defeat these intruders without endangering Arlong Park."

"We'll deal with these punks," smirked Hatchan as cracked his six knuckles.

"I've been looking forward to this," smirked Zoro as he readied his three blades, placing the Wado Ichimonji in his mouth and tying his sash around his head, "I'll take the octo-wuss."

"Me too," said Nami as she spun her staff into a fighting stance, "and I'll take trumpet lips."

"That leaves ugly fin-arms to me," said Luffy as he straightened his hat.

The three Lieutenants of the Arlong pirates snarled at the degrading nicknames that the Straw Hat Pirates had given them.

"You humans think you can just say that to us?" growled Kurobi as he cracked his knuckles and got into a Fishman Karate stance, "We'll take our time crushing you now."

"You humans will learn your place," said Chew.

Hatchan leapt through and window and came back carrying six swords, one in each hand, "Now face, the master of Rokutoryu! I'll show you who's an Octo-wuss!"

"Then let's do this," said Zoro.

And with that, the two sides rushed at each other to begin the fight.

xXZoro vs HatchanXx

"So what if you have three blades," said Hatchan, "I'm the top swordsman of the Arlong Pirates! Your three won't beat my six."

"The number of blades is unimportant," said Zoro, "what matters is the resolve of the one who uses them. Because of that, my swords are stronger than yours."

"We'll see who's stronger!" said Hatchan as he charged at Zoro with his swords swinging wildly, "Takoashi Kiken!"

Zoro smirked as he saw this attack coming. It was just like last time, except this time, he wasn't hindered by his wounds from a previous fight. Pity he couldn't go all out, as Hatchan needed to be alive to help them in the future.

"Santotryu," said Zoro as he shot at Hatchan and twisted through his swinging blades to slice the fishman several times, "Toro Nagashi!"

Zoro came to a stop behind Hatchan and flicked his blades to the side just as several cuts opened up on the octopus fishman's torso.

"GAH!" cried out Hatchan in pain, "Damn you human! You think that you're so great because you dodged my attack, but I've only just begun. Rokutoryu: Takotsubo no Kamae!"

Hatchan held his swords so all the points touched each other making a cone-like formation and charged at Zoro.

Zoro simply held his swords in a stance as the fishman charged at him, "Rengoku: Oni Giri!"

Swinging his swords, Zoro spun and sent a powerful slash that shattered Hatchan's six blades and sent the fishman flying into a wall with various cuts on his person and a large X shaped slash on his chest.

"Six against three means nothing when one is truly strong," said Zoro as he sheathed his blades.

xXNami vs ChewXx

"You really think that you have a chance against me, little girl?" sneered Chew.

"I more than just think it," said Nami, "I know you're the weakest of Arlong's lieutenants, so you won't be a problem."

"WEAKEST!" growled Chew, "I'll show you who's weak! Mizudeppo!"

Chew shot a blast of pressurized water from his mouth at Nami, but the navigator, thanks to years of running away and dodging, was able to quickly twist out of the way and slam her staff into his chest, causing the fishman to stagger back and cough.

"Why you little…" growled Chew.

Nami didn't give him a chance to finish and began to smash the fishman with a barrage of strikes from her staff. The fishman was sent to his knees when Nami smashed her weapon into his crotch only to be caught in the face by an upward swing of the weapon as well, knocking out several teeth.

"This is for Genzo," said Nami as she smashed her staff into the fishman's head.

"This is for the village!" said Nami as she smashed him again.

"And this," she said as she raised her staff high, "is for my mother."

With one more powerful blow to the fishman's head, that cracked his skull and knocked him flat against the concrete floor, making a small series of cracks. Upon, seeing that the fishman was knocked out and down for the count, Nami turned and walked away with a smile on her face and watched for her crewmate and captain to finish their fights.

xXLuffy vs KurobiXx

"I don't know what you humans were thinking, storming into our fortress to help that little girl," said Kurobi, "but you will regret crossing us. I am Kurobi, level 40 black belt in Fishman Karate."

"Well I'm Monkey D. Luffy, future king of the pirates," said Luffy with a grin, "and I've fought guys a lot stronger than you, fish brain."

Kurobi growled and shot at Luffy, slamming his fist into the rubber captain, sending him flying into a wall, blasting through it.

"Pathetic," said Kurobi, "is this the extent of your power, human?"

Kurobi began to turn away, but stopped when he heard the rubble shifting. Turning around, he saw that the Straw Hat captain was getting to his feet and dusting his hat off.

"That was some punch," said Luffy, "but I've felt worse hits from my grandpa."

Charging at Kurobi and stretching his arm back and twisting it, Luffy prepared his own attack, "Gum Gum Rifle"

Luffy smashed his fist into the gut of the fishman, sending him skidding back as he coughed up some blood.

"Impressive," growled Kurobi, "but not enough! Wanto Giri!"

The fishman shot at Luffy and slammed him with the large fin on his arm, sending him into the air. He then leapt after him and sent him to the ground with a powerful axe kick, creating a small crater.

"Come on," smirked Luffy as he got to his feet, "is that all you've got?"

Luffy charged at Kurobi as the fishman did the same and they both readied punches, except Luffy coated his fist in Armament Haki as he did so."

"Senmaigawara Seiken!" yelled Kurobi as he punched forward.

"Buso Koka: Gum Gum Bullet!" yelled Luffy as his fist became black and shiny and he met Kurobi's fist with his own.

The two colliding attacks released a shockwave that shattered several pillars in the Park's courtyard and knocked the spectating villagers off their feet. Kurobi may have been strong, but Luffy's Haki augmented punch packed enough force to shatter all the bones in his arm and send him flying through the wall, leaving him lying on the ground, unconscious from the pain and force of the attack.

xXsceneXx

Arlong was boiling with rage as he watched the three human pirates take out his three top fighters with relative ease. Standing from his throne, he swung a fist out, smashing the wall behind him to bits.

"You humans," growled Arlong, "I was going to let you live as slaves to the Arlong Pirates, but now, I'm going to make you all suffer before I rip you apart, and before you die, I'll make you watch as I raze this island and it's inhabitants to the ground!"

"Bring it on, shark bait!" said Luffy.

"You'll find that we humans are stronger than you think," said Zoro.

"Just stand back, Nami," said Luffy, "we'll make him pay."
