Now that we're getting closer to the Grand Line, this story, or at least most of it, can get further away from canon now that I got more things to work with. All events would still be chronological, but after giving it some thought I realized I haven't explored the additional Godzilla elements of this story as much as I should have. So, starting from the next arc, we'll be seeing more Godzilla elements.

As for this one… FUCKIN' RIGHT IT'S TIME FOR ARLONG PARK. To people who are wondering about the ending of last chapter… I'll give you a hint. It's a Godzilla monster! Those who are familiar with the film series should have a fairly good idea of who it is, but for those who haven't you'll find out soon enough. With that out the way, let's begin!

As the gate to the imposing building opened up, Nami felt a familiar sickness in the pit of her stomach. She's made this trip many, many time and each time it feels the same as it always have been. This place is the source of all her misery, and she is trapped by it. Shaking the thought away she put on a confident smile and entered.

Arlong Park was a massive pagoda shaped building, with the most upper point being that of a shark's serrated jaws. A long flag pole consists of the crew's Jolly Roger. This complex was the headquarters of the Arlong Pirates, located on the coast of the Conomi Islands and is a perfect place to carry out their plans.

"Welcome back to us Nami! You were away from us for far longer this time!" a massive figure boomed. Sitting on a personal throne is a grinning sawshark fishman wearing a brown ushanka, multiple pieces of gold jewelry and multiple tattoos, including a sun-shaped one on his left pectoral. A dorsal fin was located on the nape of his neck and his gills were located on the side, him being a shark fishman and all. Arlong is the self-proclaimed ruler of this area, and a serious threat to East Blue in general.

Beside the large fishman there are 3 other figures. Chew is a blue-skinned trumpet fish fishman with long lips and blond hair wearing a simple blue vest and pants. Kuroobi is a ray fishman with wide fins on his elbows and wearing the attire of a traditional blackbelt. Lastly there was Hatchan, or Hatchi as his friends called him, and octopus fishman with pointy hair and a yellow shirt with green stripes.

"There were lots of people to fool this time! I made quite a haul!" Nami replied.

"Shahahaha! You are just as good as stabbing people in the back as always!"

"You know me…! It's what I do."

"Well this is a great occasion! Everybody! We're having a party to celebrate Nami's return!" Arlong declared. With that every fishman in the vicinity cheered. Nami gave a smile as she was welcomed back, stuffing her pain deeper inside her.

Meanwhile:

Sanji's ship had been travelling on the waves for some time now. Gian was getting a run over from Yosaku on where they were headed, while Luffy was lounging on the stern of the ship. Sanji was sitting a short distance away.

"Once we get Nami we can head to the Grand Line!" Luffy smiled.

"Don't take this so lightly!" Yosaku scolded "This is quite serious! Arlong is dangerous!"

"I have no idea who that is, so it can't be that bad." Sanji mumbled.

"We've seen pirates before, and honestly I haven't heard much about him either. We just took down Don Krieg and he's supposed to be the strongest pirate in East Blue, so there shouldn't be that much problems." Gian agreed.

"You guys are all hopeless! Arlong is a fishman! And he's been to the Grand Line already!" Yosaku yelled.

"Oh… then we might have a much harder fight on our hands…" Gian muttered.

"See? Gian-aniki gets it!"

"Fishman? What's that?" Luffy asked.

"I do believe that there is a Fishman Island in the Grand Line… come to think of it, there are also many beautiful mermaids living them too!" Sanji claimed with a dreamy sigh, his eyes turned to hearts.

"Great… our cooks is a closet pervert…" Gian thought with a grimace "Yes, Sanji is right. I've heard stories of Fishman Island. Truth be told, I know a fishman myself, a family friend, I think his name was Hack or something like that. He said he's a merchant but I always felt like he's hiding something. We got along well though."

"Really? Does he look like this?" Luffy held out a drawing, an absolute masterpiece of… a fish with human limbs.

"THAT THING LOOKS LIKE IT GOES THROUGH CEASELESS AGONY EVERY SINGLE DAY OF ITS LIFE! PUT IT OUT OF ITS MISERY!" Gian shouted, earning a laugh from Sanji and Luffy. "And no… Fishmen do not look like that, they just look like humans with fish features, but it depends on what kind of fish."

"Can the 3 of you get serious?!" Yosaku yelled.

"And yes, Yosaku is right as well. Fishmen and fishwomen are very adept swimmers and can breathe underwater so if you're fighting one in the water, you might as well write out your will. On land they're no slouches either, they are 10 times stronger than the average man. I used to spar quite a bit with the one I know, and I usually have to partially transform to match him on land. With that in mind, we can assume this Arlong is someone who's at least on par with that level of strength."

"Not only that, but Arlong has some connections with one of the Shichibukai! Gian-aniki probably knows a lot about them, don't you?"

"Luffy, the Oka Shichibukai are 7 pirates who work for the World Government, and in return they get freedom to do pretty much whatever they want as long as it isn't too illegal. They are some of the strongest pirates ever lived and people like them are not people we'd want to run into. Dracule Mihawk, who we ran into back at the Baratie, is one of them." Gian explained before the boy had the chance to ask. The Red Hair pirates have told him about some of the aspects of the world. Not to mention Goro knows quite a lot about this too.

"See? Gian-aniki knows how serious this is! Anyways Arlong happens to be the former crewmate of one of the shichibukai, a fishman named Jinbe. Arlong eventually ended up in East Blue, where ever since he arrived, 30 villages have fallen under his power."

"He's familiar with the 'Knight of the Sea'? Then we might actually have a hard time with this."Gian was slightly worried. "We'll have to be prepared."

"Yes, Arlong would be a terrifying opponent. But that's not the only thing I'm scared off." Yosaku mentioned, getting the attention of everyone on board

"There's been reports of ships being sunk by an unseen force in the area. Something apparently is attacking boats coming to the island, and every so often another ship disappear." Everybody was surprised at this.

"Great… so we essentially have a 50 percent chance of drowning before we can even get our navigator back?" Gian asked.

"That shouldn't be too much of a concern. From what I heard, only ships around the size of cruisers and Marine vessels are the ones that get targeted. Smaller ships like ours and this one should be ok… I hope." Yosaku assured him, albeit not convincingly.

"Well let's just pray to all forms of deities and hope we don't get dragged under the ocean then." Gian sighed.

"But first we should eat lunch!" Luffy cheered.

"…Don't see how the two are related but agreed."

"Fine, what do you lot want?" Sanji grinned lightly.

"Meat!" Luffy declared matter-of-factly.

"I want fried beans!" Yosaku added.

"Some scrambled eggs mixed with tomatoes if you will." Gian gave his own order.

"Alright, I'll have it done soon!" Sanji noted before heading off to the kitchen.

Pretty soon the Strawhats were about to enjoy the best lunch they had in weeks.

"It's so good to have a cook on board!" Luffy sighed contently.

"Now this is five-star service!" Gian complemented as he took a large bite out of his dish.

"Hopefully we can all dine together like this soon, and hopefully Nami-aneki would join us next time." Yosaku commented.

Suddenly the boat was rocked by a massive wave. The surprised crew yelped and looked over the edge of the boat, only to find the sea completely still. They were perplexed at what could've happened until a massive form rose from the water.

"It's a monster!" Luffy cried.

"Is this what's been attacking ships in this area?" Gian asked with alarm.

"I don't know! It might be but for some reason I don't think it is." Yosaku stammered.

It looks like a cow…" Sanji mumbled.

Indeed it was a cow, a species of animal known as a sea cow as a matter of fact. Its large body was shaped like a seal's and was covered in green markings. Its large head was that of a bovine with a pink nose with a nose ring through it.

"Hehe, it's kind of cute!" Gian chuckled.

"No it isn't! A monster like this shouldn't be around here; it should be out in the Grand Line!" Yosaku screamed.

"Grand Line… so there's a good chance that Arlong might've brought it with him as a pet…" Gian looked dejected "Shame, I always wanted a pet."

The sea cow was staring intently at the lunch the crew was in the middle of eating. Sanji soon deducted what it's here for.

"It must have smelled the cooking, it's probably hungry."

"WHAT?! No way it's gonna eat any of my meat!" Luffy shouted, before launching a punch at the animal, causing it to roar in pain and recoil away, only to give an angry roar back.

"No! Don't hurt it!" Gian protested.

"Yeah… it's clearly hungry, just give it a little bit of food. I'm not going to leave behind anyone who is starving, even if it's a giant sea monster. " Sanji said as he picked up a plate and held it in front of the beast. It gave it a sniff before opening its mouth, intent on swallowing the meal. However it went too far and decided to include the chef holding it as well…

"DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT IT!" the poor animal only received a vicious kick instead.

"OH MY GOD I CAN'T WATCH!" Gian's soft spot for animals surfaced.

The sea cow was now covered in bumps and bruises. It began cowering at the sight of the two people who attacked him.

"Look what you've done, you're scaring it!" Gian scolded.

"That's what it gets for trying to steal our food!" Luffy huffed.

"Uhhh… what should we do with it…? if it recovers it might attack us again…" Yosaku voiced his concern.

"After the beating we gave it? I don't think so" Sanji snorted "I think we should let it pull us to our destination, it would definitely speed things up." With that in mind, he walked towards the large animal, but it only recoiled away from him.

"See? All it knows from you is pain. Let me do this." Gian walked over and reached out a hand. The giant sea animal flinched when it saw that and let out a few warning grunts.

"Calm yourself… I ain't gonna hurt ya."

Gian then fearlessly began stroking the side of its head. The cowfish was sweating buckets at this point, but eventually realized that the man meant it no harm. Soon it was closing its eyes contently as it leaned into the comforting scratches.

"Will you look at that? That trick works every time on any warm blooded animal! If only those lizards living on Solgell would be as easy as you, but those pricks are a bunch of heartless bitches." Gian smiled.

"Now, we're kind of in a rush at the moment, so do you mind giving us a ride to where some guy named Arlong is?"

The sea cow's eyes widened slightly after realizing these people want to go to the domain of its masters. In its simple mind it made the connection that these people are probably enemies of those that owned him. If its masters were here they'd probably order it to destroy them.

But the tall, muscular man had been rather kind to it. And even though his two crewmates did attack, they've overall been better people than those fishmen! Plus, those who control it aren't here at the moment, so they wouldn't know. As that thought took place, the sea cow nodded and turned around to allow a rope to be tied around its body.

"Thanks big guy! I knew I can count on you!" Gian cheered "Now I wonder if you have a name? Surely those fish came up with something for you. Man, Zoro and Usopp won't believe this!"

Meanwhile:

"Nyu? Mohmoo isn't showing up…" Hatchi the octopus fishman mused as he roasted a whole boar behind him. It was the sea cow's favorite meal, and he often fed it to it many times a week. But today, it wasn't showing up…

"Oh well, guess I'll do some fishing."

Hatchi, thanks to his 6 arms, was able to see to 3 fishing poles at a time. However, fish weren't biting. He was so concentrated that he didn't notice someone come up behind him.

"Oi, are you a fishman?" Roronoa Zoro asked. Zoro had not been having a good day up to that point; first he was separated from Usopp, before his misdirection took hold and led him unwittingly to Arlong Park, where he was held captive. Not only that, but he also found out that Nami was a member of the Arlong Pirates all along.

Or so he thought, for the minute Arlong left with a number of fishmen to handle some business Nami appeared and freed him, even returning Wado Ichimonji to him. Because of this Zoro was able to fight his way past the remaining fishmen.

"What's with that woman? It's clear that something complicated is going on here. And why are Luffy and Gian still not here yet? This is so confusing. She told me to leave but everything I have to do is in this place… WHY ARE THE TWO OF THEM NOT HERE YET?!"

"Nyu, you're talking to me? Why yes, I am a fishman, an octopus fishman!" Hatchi informed him.

"My name is Hatchan, but everyone calls me 'Hatchi'. Are you here to see Arlong-san?"

"Uhh… yeah, where is he at?"

"I'm sorry but you just missed him. He left for Cocoyashi Village because there was some long nosed fellow causing trouble for us." Hatchi explained.

"So that's where Usopp is…" Zoro realized "Oh… that's fine I'll just go to him then, do you know where Cocoyashi village is?"

"Yup, I'll take you there myself. Hop in my pot!" Hatchi motioned to a floating pot. Zoro nodded and hopped in.

Meanwhile:

Cocoyasi Village used to be a peaceful town where people farmed and had little worry. However, when the Arlong Pirates arrived, it was placed under their control. Every month the villagers must pay tribute lest they want to be disposed of.

Today however, Arlong would be coming for a different reason.

"I heard someone in the village has weapons under their possession, which one of you is it?!" the large shark growled.

Cowering in one of the small houses was none other than the liar of the Strawhats himself. Usopp was terrified of the sight.

"Th-that's Arlong?! He's massive!"

"Yes… that's him alright. It's because of him that we're all suffering so much…" a woman replied bitterly beside him. The woman was a young lady of about 20 years old blue light blue hair wearing a yellow tank top and blue pants. A blue tattoo covered most of her right arm and chest. Her name is Nojiko, and she's actually Nami's adopted sister! She had found Usopp lying on the ground passed out and took him in until he recovered.

A man stepped out in front of the rest of the villagers. He is a middle aged man wearing a brown hat, brown shirt- pretty much his entire attire was brown, with yellow buttons here and there. The man was covered in stiches from an encounter with the fishmen years ago. On his hat there was a yellow pinwheel. This man is Genzo, the mayor of Cocoyashi Village.

"I'm the one with the weapons. Is it wrong for your subjects to have a weapon collection?"

"Having weapons… are a sign of rebellion. I've got over 30 villages under my control, I don't want to have any problems within my empire."

"Humans such as yourself are inferior beings fit only to pay us tribute. Your neighbours in Gosa Village failed to do so and I destroyed them for it. The fact that they did not pay their tribute indicates their rebellious notions."

"W-what?! That's insane! He destroyed a village just because they couldn't give him money?!" Usopp cried.

"Yes, that's how Arlong does things. He and the rest of his crew are a bunch of racists who think that humans are below them in every way. We're literally buying our lives with those tributes, and if even one person can't pay up then everyone is killed. That was what happened to Gosa Village." Nojiko closed her eyes and let out a pained breath.

"We can't even do anything about it… if we even have the slightest idea of rebellion we doom the whole village as well. There was one village west of where we are, Letchi Village, who tried to hold up arms when they heard Arlong was coming. From what I heard the village is completely decimated.

"Arlong destroyed that too?"

"No, remember when I told you Arlong brought a monster from the Grand Line with him?"

"Yeah, what does that have to do with it?"

"I slightly lied. He actually brought 2 with him. This second monster tore apart the village within 2 minutes. Even today we haven't found any survivors. The worst part is Arlong didn't even order it to attack; it emerged before he even got here and by the time he arrived all that was left of the village was destroyed wood. "

"N-no way! What kind of-?"

Usopp's concern was cut off when Genzo let out a pained scream as Arlong slammed him into a wooden post.

"The simple possession of a weapon is evidence enough for a rebellion! In order to prevent any other ideas about this, I'll kill you on the spot!" Arlong growled.

"You can't do this! We've been offering you tribute for 8 years! Where would we get the idea of a rebellion?!" Nojiko shouted as she stepped out from behind the building.

"As I said, even owning any weapons is enough reason. If you don't want this village to be ripped from its foundation, then I suggest you stay out of this. It matters not to me if you all die or not."

"Everyone! Please! Do not fight!" Genzo pleaded "Don't let what we've worked for 8 years go to waste…" he was about to resign to his fate when…

"Kyaku Boshi!"

A projectile soared towards the towering fishman and exploded on contact.

"Wha-? Who did that?!" the fishmen that escorted Arlong questioned.

"It is I! The most feared Pirate of all time! King Usopp!" the liar stood upon a roof and raised his pachinko at the sky.

"You better run! Or else I will rain fiery death upon you!" Usopp tried to look tough, but he was freaking out inside.

"Hey! It's that guy we tried to capture earlier!" One of the fishmen realized.

"CRAP! THEY KNOW WHO I AM!"

"That guy… what the heck is he doing?!" Nojiko asked, slightly bewildered.

"What… what is a human trying to do by attacking me?!" Arlong snarled as the smoke cleared, virtually unharmed. Rage boiled inside him as he saw what attacked him.

"A human like you… DARE ATTACK ME?!" Arlong roared and charged towards the building. With herculean strength the fishman easily ripped the building off its foundation. Usopp yelped in fear as he tumbled off the structure. He landed hard and immediately bolted from the sight.

Arlong was absolutely enraged as he prepared to rip up more buildings. He is stopped however by some of his subordinates.

"Let go of me! I'm going to kill that human!"

"Arlong-san please! If you destroy Cocoyasi Village then we won't have any more funds left!" one of the fishmen coaxed.

"Then we'll just rebuild! FIRST WE KILL ALL OF THEM!" Arlong snarled as he demolished another house.

"Please Arlong-san! Gosa village and Letchi Village both are already destroyed! Our goal is to take over this area, and we can't do that without funds!"

"Hey! He's getting away!" One of the fishmen noticed Usopp running.

"We'll make sure he's captured." Kuroobi and Chew both gave chase with a small group following them. Arlong was forced to be dragged back by the remaining fishmen, still cussing up a blue streak. The rest of the villagers looked on, hoping that the long nosed fellow will be alright.

Back with Luffy:

"WAAAHOOOO! THIS IS SO MUCH FUN! FULL SPEED AHEAD TO ARLONG PARK!" Luffy cheered as the sea cow- Mohmoo- sped towards their destination. Thanks to the added force, they were travelling much faster now and looked to reach their destination within a couple of minutes. Indeed, Arlong Park could be seen soon and they were closing in fast.

"Goro is gonna be so jealous of this! I should take a picture!" Gian laughed while sitting on the cow's head. Mohmoo mooed in agreement.

The other two members of the group, however, were less enthusiastic about it. Yosaku's face was a shade of green to show that he was about to throw up.

"Oi… shouldn't you be a bit more careful?" Sanji called out to the kaiju-zoan user "If you fall in the water no one's gonna be able to get you out."

"Hey, what's life if you aren't livin' like Larry?" Gian nonchalantly replied.

"…Who's Larry?"

"Don't worry about it."

The crew were approaching Arlong Park in record speed. Mohmoo, however, was beginning to tire. Soon, it began drifting off course.

"Hey! That's the wrong way stupid bull!" Luffy shouted. "Back! Back! To the left!"

Mohmoo snorted with exhaustion and continued to swim in the wrong direction. Eventually the sea cow began approaching a big rock. Mohmoo suddenly dived straight down and rocketed the boat into the air with his tail.

"THIS IS JUST LIKE FLYING!" Luffy was happy as always

"WE LITERALLY ARE FLYING YOU IDIOT!" Sanji snapped.

Yosaku suddenly realized something was amiss "Hey… where's-?"

"W-WHAT… THE HELL JUST HAPPENED?!" Gian's exhausted scream alerted them to the sight of the now drenched kaiju-zoan user being carried in the opposite direction.

"AAAAHHHH! Gian hold on! We're coming for you!" Luffy tried to stretch an arm out to grab him, but the boat was descending too fast. Soon, they crash-landed, barreling through a couple of trees.

"Stop…! Stop! Where are you taking me?! Bad cow! Bad!" Gian shouted from atop the beast's head as Mohmoo continued to swim away. Gian's strength was beginning to return as he thought about forcefully turning the animal around, but they were too far from shore to do anything without him falling off.

After about another 3 minutes, Mohmoo reached a small islet and slowed down. Gian shakily got off its head.

"Whew… land at last…" he shuddered and took a few steps. "Now…"

"WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU YOU DUMB ANIMAL?! DON'T YOU KNOW THAT I CAN'T BE SUBMERGED IN WATER?! YOU ARE SO FORTUNATE THAT MY BOOK DIDN'T GET WET, OR I'LL SKIN YOU!" Gian unleashed an entire tirade on the unfortunate sea cow, while pointing to the bag where his journal was kept in; the bag was a waterproof one. "And what the hell was with that stunt anyway? Why did you do that?!"

Mohmoo snorted passively, before making a gesture.

"…OK, I know Luffy can be a bit annoying and dumb at times, but he's still my captain and he really doesn't mean any harm. We need to get to Arlong Park to reunite with Nami! That little show of yours really put a dent in that plan!"

"…Moo?" Mohmoo tiled his head, slightly confused.

"Yeah, our nakama Nami kinda made off with our ship because he has something to do with your masters. You know, Nami? Orange haired girl? Eyes shine brighter than a thousand stars when she sees a lot of money?" The large sea cow dipped his head, remembering her.

"So yeah, which way is Arlong Park now that you took me on a joy ride?"

Mohmoo pointed a flipper towards the east and Gian could just make out the tip of the main building, its flag fluttering in the wind."

"So… we're west of them then. Ah, I could use a walk. First I gotta find where Luffy and the others are though. Thanks for telling me this!"

Gian was about to walk away but Mohmoo suddenly mooed and tried to block him. "Wha-? What is it now?!"

Mohmoo took on a fearsome expression and did a few movements.

"Are you saying that Arlong is scary?" Mohmoo nodded, Gian sighed at this.

"Yeah, to tell you the truth I'm kinda nervous about this too. This is the first time we've faced an enemy as fearsome at that. But even so, I need to do this. Nami is our nakama and we don't leave each other behind."

"If Arlong is troubling her, then I and the rest of our crew would help her in every way possible. That's what I believe, so do you understand that I have to go?"

Mohmoo thought it over a bit, then nodded reluctantly and released his flippers.

"Alright, thanks big guy! You take care of yourself."

With that, the Kaiju-zoan user walked up the shore.

Gian walked for a bit longer before spotting a forest. Upon seeing this, a gasp escaped his lips.

"Wow… did that bovine dropped me off at a logging camp or something?"

The forest in front of him was what you'd expect, save for massive gap between two points. Upon closer inspection, he noticed that the trees were literally snapped in two and appeared to be crushed by some form of heavy object.

"Did the cow do this?"

Gian walked along the ravaged path, all the while getting a feeling of dread. It was as if something horrible has happened alongside this wrecked forest. Meanwhile, he couldn't shake the feeling that he was being watched.

Eventually, the forest broke into a medium sized clearing. What greeted the man was an even more disturbing scene.

In the middle of the clearing is a village, or at least the remains of one. Every building was demolished completely; the wood shattered or torn up. Large trenches were carved into the earth in multiple areas with no particular pattern whatsoever. Small holes littered the ground; Gian could not make out what they were.

Gian ran towards the ruins, looking around feverously. The strong feeling of loss and death still clung to the ruins, even though the remains appeared to be have some age to them.

"It's like I walked into a horror movie… What could've happened here?! Could Arlong have done this? No… even an army of fishmen couldn't have done this much devastation. The buildings here were literally pulverized to pieces. But if not Arlong, then wha-?"

Before anything else could be done, Gian suddenly felt a bag thrown over his head. As he struggled and kicked he could feel hands grabbing his limbs. He felt, in utter darkness, himself being carried off, or is being dragged?

That motion suddenly stopped before he was dropped on the ground heavily. Gian didn't even have a chance to protest before he heard a door slamming…

A/N: What has happened to our hero?

G: I'm getting kidnapped?!
Well not exactly, you'll find out in the next chapter.

G: Oh… well at least the cliffhanger idea was better put this time around.

Really?

G: No, you still suck.

Asshole…

Anyways, like I said, there are going to be changes to the Arlong Park arc. Some additional features will be added, like that in the ending. Also, Mohmoo will have a sort of relationship with Gian by the end of the arc. I always felt kinda sorry for the poor cow, it just kept getting beat up even though half the time it looked like it has no idea what it's doing. Also if you read through the chapter, you will notice I dropped a sort of Easter egg within the lines.Those familiar with the Godzilla series may have a good idea of who our mystery monster might be!

Also I'm surprised I got this chapter out this quick! Working hard has its perks it seems.

G: hah, just like you'd probably last that long in bed!

Um… this chapter came out around a week after last chapter. If I last that long then I'd be amazing.

G: Damn you! You got me this time but I will return!

Please no…

More will come in the next chapter, which I hope to be out by next week. In the meantime, I hope this makes up for a rather disappointing last chapter (imo). I know I promised that the fight between Luffy in Krieg would've been different, because I planned to have Gian join the fight at some point, but writing it through I just couldn't find the opportunity to throw him in.

With that, hope you all enjoy reading this chapter!

Leave a review and Gian will do a Pokemon Nuzlocke of your choice!

G: NO! THAT'S TOO MUCH EMOTIONAL DISTRESS!
