Chapter 14

Luffy grinned. "It's time to beat some fish."

He started to walk towards Arlong Park, the crew following behind him.

Once they got to the gate of Arlong Park, Luffy turned around, and asked, "Who wants to destroy the gate?" He expected Zoro and Sanji to raise their hands, which they did. However, he ignored them, haven seen their skills multiple times before. He looked at the new group of less experienced people. Reiju and Pudding had their hands up. Ussop's hand was also up, but a little shaky.

Luffy grin became wider.

Arlong Park

It was just another day in Arlong Park. The fishmen were relaxing, talking to each other, and swimming. Oh yeah! Nami also came back today. Arlong had sent the bribed marine to get the money she had collected. Poor Nami. She had earned their respect, which was a lot, for a human. However, they wouldn't let her go, especially with how useful she was. She would be theirs's for eterni-

The gate exploded, catching the attention of every single fishman. There was dust, flying everywhere. When the dust cleared, it revealed a woman, wearing a white kimono, with an orange sash. She had orange hair, combed into a bun. This was Charlotte Pudding, who had just punched the gate open, with minimum difficulty. Behind her were 5 people, 4 of them, who were whistling at her strength, while 1, who was shaking, scared after seeing her strength.

"Shishishi! Damn Pudding! I didn't know you were THAT strong." The man in the orange and blue kimono commented, amazed by the fact that she did it – without the use of haki! At this, the man in the black and yellow kimono just let out a stream of smoke. "Of course she could. After all, she IS my wife." He commented, puffing his chest out in pride. It made Pudding blush, having known that her husband appreciated her strength.

The man in the orange and blue kimono stepped forward, and asked, "Which one of you is Arlong?" He knew, but he had to make it look less suspicious, as to how he knew who Arlong was out of all the fishermen.

A tall fishman with blue skin, and a saw-like nose stood up. "I'm Arlong. Now who the hell are you guys, and why are you here?"

The answer he received was a punch to his face, breaking his teeth, and sending him rocketing into the wall behind him. The fishmen were shocked, have not been expected the man in the orange kimono to appear in front of Arlong, and punch him. The man then stared at where Arlong had landed. "The name's Monkey D Luffy, and I'm here to kick your ass." He calmly responded, a hint of anger heard in his voice.

"Oi shitty captain. I'm allowed to kick. You're allowed to twist. Understand?" Sanji said, sarcasm evident in his voice. Zoro sighed. "Shitty cook doesn't know when to speak." He grumbled under his breath. Unfortunately, Sanji had heard him. He turned around, and walked up to Zoro.

"You wanna go Marimo?"

"Oh hell I do, you goddamn cook!"

"Let's go then!"

"Yeah! Let's go!"

"Son of a bi-"

Before they knew it, Reiju was behind them, and had bonked the two on the head. She had a tick mark on her head. "Read the mood shit heads! You wouldn't want to receive another of my punches would you?!" She threatened them, cracking her knuckles. The two wrapped an arm around each other, and started dancing. "We're the best of friends!" Sanji exclaimed. "Ai san!" Zoro cried, agreeing with him. (A cookie for those who get the reference! XD)

Meanwhile, everyone sweat dropped. They had a blank look on their face, their pupils, having disappeared, and shoulders sagging. Luffy sighed. He thought it would be a good idea to scare the fishermen before the fight started. But the two idiots ruined their reputation… "Idiots…" Luffy muttered under his breath. Like you're one to talk Luffy.

Luffy coughed a bit out loud, getting everyone's attention. They looked at him, confused. Luffy's eyebrows twitched. Had they forgotten that they were here to fight? He sighed. "So… fight?" He asked, causing everyone's eyes to widen, then to face palm.

Arlong snarled, remembering the punch he had received from the raven teenager. "Get them!" He roared, receiving cheers from the fishmen, as they rushed towards the Straw Hats, intending to kill them for insulting their pride.

Luffy stepped back, along with Zoro and Sanji. "Take care of these fishes." Luffy said, as he went and sat down on Arlong's throne. Arlong, seeing this, ordered Kuroobi, Chew, and Hatchan, to eliminate him, while seething on the inside. Luffy saw them coming, and just looked at Zoro and Sanji, who nodded. They disappeared from the spot, and appeared in front of the three fishmen, clashing with them, using around 5% of their full power. They wanted to go easy on them, taking their time, especially on Hatchan.

Luffy looked at the other fishermen. He was impressed. Pudding and Reiju were smashing them down with their fists and feet, while Ussop was covering their spots, non-lethally putting them down, using his hand gun. He had surprisingly gotten used to the pistol really easily. Well, not as surprising for Luffy, considering him being Yasopp's son.

He sighed, looking over at Arlong, who was staring at his men, who were receiving the beating of their life, from just three people. Arlong, all of sudden, yelled out "MooMoo! Get over here!" As he said that, a familiar sea cow-king came out of the waters, with an angry look on it's face. It looked around, and was surprised by the sight, seeing a quarter of the fishermen down, as well as the three officers, being outmatched by two people. It then looked at the throne, where it saw an all-too-familiar face, grinning at him. It started to sweat, too scared to act against the man. It started to back off, and was about to swim away, when Arlong spoke. "You're not thinking about running away, are you MooMoo?" He 'asked', his anger revealed in his tone. It made MooMoo shiver. It looked back, at Luffy, who was still grinning at him. Gulping it's fears down, it lunged towards Luffy, attempting to bring him down. To say the least, it didn't work out properly. Luffy stood up from the throne, ready for some action. Luffy's hands turned black, and it created a shield, which smoothly deflected off MooMoo's horns, as it attempted to pierce through him.

Let's just say he had spent a lot of his time trying to achieve the level of Busoshoku that Rayleigh had achieved.

He grabbed MooMoo's horn with one hand, and swung it around, as if MooMoo were a rope, and Luffy were the cowboy. After swinging it around, he casually threw it away, MooMoo disappearing into the sky. While that was happening, he was picking his nose with his pinky, a bored look on his face. He sat back down on the throne, glancing at Arlong, who was left gaping at the scene. Luffy merely chuckled. He understood how it felt for Aokiji, when he faced the tsunami, during the war. It was boring…

With Zoro and Sanji

The two fighters were bored. They had to hold back, to NOT finish off their opponents in one move. Plus, they had to keep Hatchan alive. They sighed. If it weren't for the intent to let their fellow crewmates 'keep up' with their speed, they would've ended it in a few seconds.

Zoro couldn't use his haki, nor his full strength. He was holding back a huge amount of his power. He was practically almost TAPPING his opponents, which held off their attacks. He was as bored as Luffy right now. To him, sleeping was more exciting than fighting these fishermen.

Sanji, on the other hand, couldn't use his haki either. Neither could he use his Diable Jambe. He was sticking his feet out, and applying minimum force to them, which managed to equal their strength. He would rather flirt with Pudding than play around with these fishermen.

For the both of them, it was as if someone had handed them wailing babies to 'take care of'. We all know how annoying that can get. Then there was their captain, who they saw just casually throw the Sea Cow-King away… It wasn't shocking, but they noticed his bored look, and understood his situation.

Their opponents, the chief officers, were panted, all while growling, angry for not being able to hurt the two. "Hatchan! Handle the blond! Me and Chew will take care of the swordsman!" Kuroobi ordered, receiving nods from the two. They rushed towards their targets.

Zoro and Sanji just sighed. Why did they sign up for this again?

With Ussop, Reiju, and Pudding

They were beating down the fishmen, without any remorse. Reiju and Pudding were back-to-back, facing the fishmen, while Ussop was sniping them down from on top of the wall. Ussop shot down the ones who were approaching him, as well as those who managed to get under Pudding and Reiju's guard. Thankfully, Luffy had supplied him with plenty of bullets, so he didn't worry about running out any time soon. They, together, had defeated at least half of the lackeys by now. All of a sudden, everyone stopped, and was staring at Luffy, as he swung and threw MooMoo away. That let everyone's jaws drop to the ground.

While Ussop was distracted, a fishman came from behind, intending to end him. He hadn't noticed the distraction, his attention being focused on MooMoo, as it flew away into the sky. As the fishman was about to punch him, he was hit in the back of the head. The noise got Ussop's attention, as he turned around, and pointed his gun. To his surprise, it was Nami, who was holding her bo-staff. Behind her, was the population of Cocoyasi Village. Ussop sighed. "Nami goes in. The rest of you, stay outside." He ordered, Nami nodding towards him, a gratitude of thanks, as well as her acknowledgement of his orders. She rushed in, smacking the fishermen, who had crowded around Pudding and Reiju, knocking them out.

Eventually, she reached the middle, and stood beside them, her back facing their back. Pudding and Reiju seemed to acknowledge her presence, seemingly, as they nodded at her. She nodded back. "On my mark, we go all out. Snap your fingers if you understand." Pudding whispered, receiving two snaps as an answer. She raised her hand, confusing the fishmen, and waved it around in a circular motion. Ussop saw this, and understood.

"Three."

"Two."

"One."

"Go!" She yelled, rushing towards the fishmen, her action mimicked by Nami and Reiju. Ussop hopped down from the wall, and started to shoot the fishmen down. He began walking towards the fishmen, as he took out his slingshot, holding it in his left hand, firing his gun, as well as his special ammo he had created. It served its purpose, in knocking the fishmen out. His ammo had red chili attached to it, causing the attack's effect to spread in area. It reached the fishmen's eyes, as they cried out in discomfort, rubbing their eyes, all while sneezing and coughing uncontrollably.

Fishmen were falling back and forth, the members knocking them out with their respective body parts, as well as weapons. All of a sudden, an explosion came from the middle of Arlong Park, where Arlong and Luffy were supposed to be.

A few minutes ago, Arlong's Throne

Luffy was getting bored of waiting around. He had been waiting forever to fight, yet he wanted to have Nami and the village watch him, as he beat the crap out of Arlong. He sensed Arlong's anger reach his boiling point, as he lunged at Luffy, his bare jaws ready to chomp through Luffy's limbs. Well it would've worked the previous time. However, this time, Luffy raised his hand, and activated his Busoshoku, once again. A shield formed on his hand, blocking Arlong's attack. It also had the effect of sending Arlong rushing back towards the wall, as it exploded.

And that's where we come back to the present, as Zoro and Sanji heard the explosion, smirking. They knew their captain wasn't an idiot – well not as much as before. They also knew that Luffy did NOT like to be hit, as it would hurt his pride as their captain. Zoro 'clashed' again with Hatchan the fisherman having been using his 6 swords. At the same time, Sanji was holding off Kuroobi and Chew, dodging as Chew spat out gallons of water, and Kuroobi attempting to strike him down.

With Ussop, Nami, Reiju, and Pudding

The fishmen had recovered from the 'chili bomb', and were back to fighting back against the four Straw Hats.

Ussop was still walking, shooting the fishmen who got in his way. All of a sudden, Ussop got a vision, where he got struck down by a fishman, who had been pretending to be unconscious. Then the vision faded. At that time, a fishman, who had been pretending to be down, opened his eyes, grinning. His grin faltered, when Ussop pointed his gun at him shooting him down, rendering him unconscious. Ussop wondered how that had happened. Unknown to the readers, Ussop had been practicing to unlock his Kenbunshoku Haki, ever since Luffy had introduced him and Nami to it.

Flashback

"Ussop and Nami will take turns, concentrating their senses. First off will be Ussop." Luffy said, having only recently explained the concepts of Haki to them, with Pudding's help. "Ussop will sit down on the ground, and will be blindfolded. Meanwhile, Nami will hit him with her bo-staff." Luffy continued, the two, who had been listening, nodded to him. However, at the latter part, Ussop whined out "Why me?", earning a slap to the back of his head from Nami, as well as a chuckle from Luffy. "Well, this is how I learned it, so it's how you two will also learn it." Luffy explained. He coughed. "Anyways, back to the training for you two. Don't worry if you don't unlock it in one day. It took me a couple of months to perfect it." Luffy continued, earning looks of horror from the two. "After, it will be Nami's turn. Ussop will hit her with a wooden stick, or her bo-staff. Your choice, Ussop." Luffy finished, earning nods from the two. Internally, the two were nervous. How long would it take to complete their training?

Back to the Present

Ussop's eyes widened. Had he really unlocked his Kenbunshoku? He would ask Luffy later. It had been true that he had practiced without Nami, as well. He had asked Pudding or Reiju to help him. However, he hadn't been expecting it to unlock so soon.

Nami, was striking her foes down with 1 hit, maybe 2 or 3 hits for the persistent ones. She looked back, and watched in awe as Pudding and Reiju were plowing through their opponents, Pudding doing it more gracefully. She snapped her attention back, as a fishman launched himself at her, only to be struck down by her bo-staff.

With Luffy

He had enough of waiting. He wanted to fight – now! He looked at Arlong, as he stood up, and started walking towards him. This got Arlong's attention. He smirked, as he rushed towards Luffy, this time, using his nose, instead of his jaws. 'The kid might have stopped me from my jaws, but he won't be able to stop my nose. My nose is the strongest nose in the world!' He mentally roared.

Luffy yawned, as he caught Arlong by his nose, having covered his hand with minimum amount of Busoshoku. This shocked Arlong, as well as the fishermen, having not seen anyone even TOUCH Arlong's nose, that being a human. Luffy threw him away. Unfortunately, Luffy having been too lazy to notice the villagers outside the gate, had thrown Arlong towards the gate. After Arlong had crashed, Luffy had realized his mistake, cursing and beating himself mentally for not noticing so many people outside. Luffy heard screams outside the gate. He cursed himself again. Before he could get up, Arlong appeared, walking slowly towards him. However, he wasn't alone. No he was not. What Luffy saw made him blood chill and boil at the same time. Arlong was holding Nojiko by her neck, grinning, as he was licking her in a sexual manner. Nojiko had tears in her eyes, as she was squirming, trying to get free. Her eyes locked onto him. Her eyes were pleading for help.

Luffy saw red. Zoro and Sanji, who noticed, evacuated Reiju, Ussop, Pudding, and a fuming Nami. "It's too dangerous to be here. Arlong made the worst mistake of his life. Let's get out of here. We don't want to get caught in Luffy's crossfire." Zoro calmly said, somehow calming Nami down, as the other three nodded. However, if one were to listen carefully, they would run from the anger lying under his voice.

After they evacuated, Arlong looked at Luffy, still grinning. "Oh? What are you going to do? Send me to prison? Please! I'll get back out, and take over this island again!" Arlong exclaimed, his cockiness shooting through the roof.

Luffy chuckled. A dark chuckle. A chuckle of an angry demon. That's what it was. "Who said I'm going to send you to prison?" His chuckle turned into laughter, which turned into a snarl. "Oh no… I'll be sending you… Not to prison… But to hell!" He yelled. "Prepare to witness my true power, Arlong. This is for my imouto." He concluded.

He opened his mouth, taking a huge gulp of air. He bit his arm, which he had covered in Busoshoku, and blew the air into it, inflating his muscles. Steam covered the area, making Luffy's shadow visible. When the steam cleared, everyone got a good sight of Luffy's new appearance. Luffy's size grew, him standing at 6'5". He had stripes running horizontally across his mid section. Some of his markings had spread to his cheeks, oddly looking like whiskers. He had dark rings around his eyes, signifying the use of one of his strongest techniques.

"Gear Fourth: Tiger Man." He whispered, snarling at Arlong.
