The Oceanographer

The Baratie was being attacked by Captain Krieg, the most powerful and influential Pirate to rise out of the East Blue in the last five years. Unfortunately for the man, his many ships, and crew that was a thousand strong, had been reduced to one crippled ship and just over a hundred men. He had been fed by these chefs and fed his men from the bag they had given him.

Their strength renewed, he had proceeded to assault the restaurant ship with his full might.

He'd even sent a small number of his men into the restaurant itself to take the valuables of the customers.

That's why it was quite the surprise when five of his men were sent flying back out, through the wall.

Stepping through the hole was a sixteen foot tall fish woman, with bright red, curly hair and blue skin with lavender stripes. Her fingers were sharp at the ends and you could see her gills on her neck and shoulders. Her light blue painted lips were open to a mouth that was full of sharp, pointed teeth. And her expression…

"Oh, my gosh!" She all but yelped like a child, hurrying over to one of the men she had just beaten, tears pouring comically out of her eyes, "I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to hurt you, I just got scared! Please be okay!" she was shaking the man back and forth, trying feebly to wake him up, undoubtedly doing even more damage.

She was full of the childlike remorse of a person who had just hurt someone while roughhousing.

Her tears and cries turned into a scream of fear as she had to dodge an attack from another one of the pirates, smashing him in the head with her elbow as she did so. The poor grunt was incapacitated by accident.

"The hell?" Krieg growled, aiming his weapon at the fish woman. Before he could pull the trigger, however, a rubber fist smacked into his face, sending him reeling. "I'll kill you all!" Krieg roared.

"Hey you!" Luffy, future King of the Pirates, pointed at the girl, "Join my crew!"

"Eh?"

And so, Gale became a Strawhat Pirate.

With Nami taking the Going Merry to her home island, Sanji, Zoro, Luffy, Usopp, and Zoro's old crewmates had to rely on the large girl to pick up the trail. While on the way, they discovered that she was not, in fact, an absurdly tall Fishman. She was just an absurdly tall human, who ate the Shark Shark Fruit. In her birth form she came up to nine feet tall. Her half tiger shark form was nearly twice that large, at sixteen feet, four inches.

"Yeah," the girl said, shyly poking her fingers together, "I, um, I'm weaker in water, but I can still move and stuff. I just get really tired after a long swim."

"That's so cool!" Luffy exclaimed to the youngest member of his crew, "I can't swim at all! I'm jealous!"

"How old are you?" Zoro asked, a half frown on his face.

The massive, but young, girl almost flinched away from the heavily injured swordsman. His scowl could be terrifying. He was totally the kind of guy her parents wouldn't want her talking to.

"What does it matter?" Sanji asked, glaring at Zoro for scaring the poor girl.

"F-fifteen," she answered.

The green haired man ignored the cook and looked to their captain. As usual, his eyes were blank and unreadable. Some would mistake it for idiocy.

"What's a fifteen year old girl doing at sea?" Zoro asked, "As you just saw, it's dangerous as hell out here."

"Well," Gale shifted into her half shark form, "Most people just leave me alone," she changed back, "But I'm gonna be an oceanographer, just like dad!" For the first time since their meeting, the girl had some real strength to her voice.

"We're going to the Grand Line."

The red haired girl nodded, "I was going there soon anyway. There is a lot of mystery surrounding that area of the ocean, from it's unpredictable currents and strange weather phenomena, to the abstract sea life that tends to sprout up with little to no respect for the theory of evolution." She would have gone on, but Zoro held up a hand to stop her.

"Well, let's go smack some sense into our Navigator," he told her, laying down on the deck of the small ship they… borrowed.

"Yeah!" Luffy shouted, then sidled over to the newest member of his crew, "Hey, Gale, what's oceanaphy?"

"Oceanography," she corrected her captain, "It means I'm studying the ocean. All of it. The animals, the way it moves, what it does and why it does it. My dad taught me about some of it, on our island." She went on, explaining her interest in the ocean's all over the world. Luffy was hardly able to keep up with it, but when Sanji looked at the teen girl, she wasn't nearly as withdrawn she had been. She was energetic, making motions with her hands, even dumbing it down just enough that Luffy understood without making him feel like an idiot.

Just how smart was Luffy, really? He seemed to know exactly how to make her feel more at home on his ship.

Would he be doing the same for Nami when they got her back? For Usopp? For him?

Luffy was incapacitated. Sanji and Zoro were down. Nami was trying to help Luffy and Usopp had his own problems just then.

Arlong, the captain of the Fishman Pirates, a ten foot tall, human hating fishman with immense strength and more than a few anger issues, stalked towards the shaking form of Gale. She was in her human form, and she had tears of fear gathering in her eyes.

The shark man approached her slowly, holding a palm full of water. He had used just a palm full of water to decimate Sanji and Zoro. He would throw it like a shotgun blast at point blank range.

He stepped into arms reach and-

Gale yelped in pain, stumbling to the side, holding her face in her hands.

-smacked the teen girl aside.

"You pew-mans have made your last mistake, today," he growled at the people gathered at the entrance of Arlong Park, "Now," he pulled the hand holding the water back, preparing to throw.

Holding her face, Gale saw him going for the people. She saw him getting ready to kill the poor folks he had been tormenting for over a decade. She watched him pull his hand back to hit them with just a light throw.

"Strength isn't a privilege," her father had said to her one day, "It's not a right. Strength is a burden. Being strong doesn't mean you get to do whatever you want," he was lecturing her because she had beat up some of the other kids for picking on her unusual size, "A strong person doesn't lord it over others. They don't hurt people just because they can. You are strong, physically, Gale. You can be weak, but I know you can be strong in here, too," he pointed at his heart with his thumb, "All you have to do to be strong, to bear that burden, is protect someone."

Just before Arlong could finish his throw, a blue hand with clawed fingers descended over his face and tightened. It lifted him into the air, then threw him back the way he came.

The fishman was massive, muscular and had every possible advantage going for him that the fishmen usually boasted, plus his own inherent strength and durability.

It didn't quite seem to matter all that much when going against a young girl who was sixteen feet tall, made of teeth, muscle and determination.

"I," she began quietly, then shouted at the top of her lungs, pointing to her heart with her thumb, "I am Galeocerdo Cuvier Von Konkler, and I won't let you hurt these people!"

Whatever response she was expecting, it certainly wasn't for Arlong to jump in the air with a roar of his own and slam his fist into her face.

"You dare? You DARE!?I" he stomped over to her, cracking the cement with each step, "You damn Pew-mans don't know when to quit!" He kicked her in the ribs, sending her skidding into the wall, "You think you can just look like a fishman and be able to stand up to us?!"

Arlong prepared to kick her again. He received a fist the size of his head to his gut and was sent into the air over the water.

Gale stood up, fell to her knees, barfed up nearly a liter of blood, and tried to stand up again.

Luffy landed before her, and put a hand on her shoulder, "You did good, Gale. Get Sanji and Zoro out of here." He turned around and faced the water as Arlong was crawling out of it, pissed and ready for a real fight.

AN: I will be posting this here occasionally, just a few scenes where a sixteen foot shark girl changes some stuff in cannon.

Also, Arlong initially ignored Gale because an Oceanographer, like a cartographer(Nami), could prove useful.
