"Get in the octopus pot! I'll take you!" Hachi told Nezumi.
"Yes, of cause. Thank you." Nezumi agreed.
Now Hachi being the idiot that he… "You got an interesting face, MOUSE-umi. Your name sure fits you…" Hachi observed.
But what was I expecting something smart to come out of this mouth? That would be the day and I thought that octopuses were supposedly really smart, oh well, but Hachi makes life… umm… interesting for sure. I thought.
"It really tickles me! Ha ha ha ha!" Hachi blurted.
But even if Hachi wasn't that dumb no one would take him seriously anyway because of his 6 arms, wacky spiked hair style and his weird costume with those horizontal stripes and fluffy collar.
"Hold your tongue, Hachi! Captain NEZUMI is a valued customer." Arlong corrected Hachi.
"Oh, yeah! Sorry! Anyhow, get in!" Hachi apologized.
"Sorry, captain! That one's got a big mouth!" Arlong apologized too.
Nezumi still twitching to lease said "No harm done, hyik hyik hyik!" and as he got into Hachi's octopus pot his thoughts were clear 'Those fish-men are a creepy lot! But they have their virtues.' And Hachi jumped in the water and towed Nezumi and his men to their ship. Splap splap splap splap splap!
As I watched them leave and Arlong began laughing and talking with Choo and Kuroobi some thing got my attention at the east gate of Arlong Park… I closed my eyes and tried to concentrate on the noises I had heard.
"Outta my way, you!"
Now I was intreagged and thought that it sounded like a little boy a mad frustrated one. I quietly turned opening my eyes and quickly climbed up the pillar I had been leaning on and jumped onto the patio's arched roof with the greatest of ease or sound which came from years of practice on my brother's…ship… I shock my head to get rid of the pain that came to mind and tried to focus. I kneeled on the roof with my right knee and balanced my left arm on my left knee and my right hand on the roof to balance myself and peered over the tall concrete wall that surrounded Arlong Pack and saw…
Nami I gasped she's back! But wait who's that little boy with her? Could he be one of the survivors from Goza?
"I'm gonna get Arlong!" The little boy snapped at Nami holding a sword out in front of him with both hands, tears glistening down his face. "Move, or I'll get you, too!"
And Nami's just standing there looking down on the boy because she's seen it all before.
The boy started snarling again but a little louder saying "I mean it!"
Finally Nami pulled out her pikestaff out of her spaghetti strap green spotted T-shirt and…
Wham!
Struck him across the left side of his face causing him to fall throwing the sword in the air, but Nami didn't stop there though I suppose it's better this way.
Waah… he let out as he hit the ground with a Fwump! Nami hitting him 3 more times.
Swak! Whak! Whak! With his Ungh! Agh! And Nami saying "Arlong doesn't have time to bother with a snot-nosed kid! Now go home." She stopped whacking him and placed her left sandaled foot on top of his stomach, pikestaff by his face and threw down a wad of cash- Wump.
"Here's some money. Spend it wisely…" Nami told him adding, "Buy a ticket home."
"Poor kid," I muttered and closed my eyes, "But that's life for ya."
"You witch!" he whimpered.
Nami then turned putting her pikestaff away and walked towards the gate.
