Chapter 7 - Arlong
His point of view…
When his favorite 'pet' came home, he already knew that something is different.
She seems distant. And her eyes… It held something in them that he knew he will never like.
He finally put the pieces together when a batch of rookies tried to wreck havoc in his own turf.
Humans.
Fools.
One by one they defeated his kind. And the most annoying one of them tried to face him heads on as if the said pirate did not know the difference between their races. He also felt very much cheated when the said person was determined to be a human girl.
Just a pathetic little human female.
It made him so furious that all he wants is to crush her with his bare hands.

Her point of view…
When she saw her navigator cry while trying to remove the mark of that man, Luffy immediately knew what she must do. Entrusting her beloved straw hat to her, she smiled confidently and patted her head.
"We've got this…" She said and walked away. The others came and stood behind her.
Even Usopp. Heh. He really is brave warrior, just like his father. Zoro smirked and Sanji lit his cigarette with a small smile on his face.
"Let's go!"
"Yeah!" Their firm resolved, they marched their way to bring back Nami's smile to her face once again.
Yes.
Her nakama's happiness comes first right? That is her duty as a captain. It's a good thing Zoro and the others agree as well.

Luffy felt satisfaction when she punched Arlong's face.
However, she almost lose her cool when Sanji almost drowned trying to free her from her earlier 'predicament' and Zoro's wounds from his fight with Dracule Mihawk reopened when he faced Arlong by himself trying to buy their chef some time.
Really. She is very very mad.

After a few of jaw clenching moves and stupid freaking nose darts, she manages to catch the fish, uhm the shark, using her rubber net and gave him a very nice kick. Not as strong as Sanji's but still a good kick.
Arlong's eyes changed scaring her for a bit. He manages to get his sword that looks so cool and attempted to slice her in pieces.
Luffy ran away from him while evading all his attacks. Boy, she was so fast. She happened to found a room on top of the tower and hid there.
"Wow! So many papers…" The she-pirate mumbled when she saw a pen covered in dried blood. "What's this?"
Arlong came; his eyes slitted like a real angry shark.
Scary.
XoXoXoXoXoXoXoXoXoX
His point of view …
"You shouldn't have involved yourself, rubber girl…"
"Ah, well… Uhm, what's this room?" The pesky little insect asks cheekily as she stares carefully at the pen on top of the unfinished map.
It was Nami's pen. The fishman remembered the good old days when the said girl first came to live with them.
"I gave her everything - money, clothes and a place to stay. She is one of us! Do you understand?" He screamed and attacked the female pirate with his Kiribachi. "I will not allow anyone to take her away from me. I am the only one that can use her talent to its fullest potential. She is mine, you hear me? MINE!"
Kiribachi is close enough to slice the girl's neck, but he girl stops his blade with her bare hands and Arlong couldn't even move it.
'What happened to Kiribachi? I can't move it…'
"Use?" The girl said in a monotone voice. And her eyes…
Arlong know how scary his eyes are especially when he is angry. But this human girl's eyes… It brought chill in his spine.
Kiribachi was crushed into pieces and the said girl did not even exert much of an effort. How can a puny little human do this? Impossible!

Her point of view…
When Arlong found her, Luffy almost roll her eyes in annoyance when she heard the shark guy bragging about the said room especially when she asks what those papers are. He tells her how he forced Nami to create every piece of map that is inside that room.
She could almost feel Nami's struggles. Her pain.
Literally, the female D she saw red. "!"
Crushing every piece of furniture, tearing up every piece of paper she could reach…
It was pure madness.
"What do you think you're doing?" Arlong asks furiously trying to stop her. "My maps!" Unable to control himself, he used what remains of Kiribachi and slashes the she-pirate from destroying his maps. "Stop it!" Luffy manages to step on his sword and fully disarmed him by giving him a well rounded kick.
With his jaw, he finally manages to bite her shoulder. Blood splatters everywhere.
"I don't care how powerful your species are!" Luffy grabs Arlong nose, holding it tight. "I don't even care how important these maps are…" Breaking his nose, Luffy manages to get rid of the stupid fishman off her.
"Now I know how to help her." Luffy raised her leg putting another hole to the said room.
Snarling Arlong fixes his nose and attacked once more. "You are just a human, how can you defeat me when I am superior to your kind."
The fishman manages to bite her again in her abdomen just when she releases her most powerful kick ever.
"Rubber Axe!"
The force was enough to stop Arlong for cutting her body in half and destroy the tower in the process. Eventually, the entire park collapses.
"Eh?" Luffy scratches her brows in mischief. Looks like she overdid it this time.
XoXoXoXoXoXoXoXoXoX
Nami runs towards the wreckage trying to find the girl she grew fond of.
"Luffy!"
Johnny and Yosaku tried to stop her, clearly they are worried for Luffy-senpai as well but what else can they do. She must be buried somewhere and…
Suddenly, a shadow emerges from the rubble. Everyone else paled when they thought that it was Arlong.
Usopp felt relief when he noticed it was Luffy. Hurriedly, he approaches her and stops on his tracks when he saw her all covered in blood and bite marks. Her vest almost did not survive and was hanging in one shoulder, showing off her chest bindings. That too was covered in blood.
"L-luffy?"
"NAMI!" The she-pirate yelled out loud, ignoring Usopp who immediately took Sanji's coat lying elsewhere and covers her almost naked form.
"YOU ARE MY FRIEND! UNDERSTOOD?!"
Fresh tears adorned Nami's face as she agrees wholeheartedly. "Yes. I am…"
XoXoXoXoXoXoXoXoXoX
Nami's point of view…
Getting the marines to do their bidding, they left after they threatened Luffy's involvement in Arlong's defeat. Zoro, who is still conscious much to the villagers' bewilderment, manages to scare the marines to leave immediately.
That same day, news about Arlong's downfall spread throughout the entire island.
It was a very joyful celebration. Well, almost as Zoro refuses his treatment while Luffy sat beside him giving him the stink eye as she munches her meat.
Meanwhile, she took on another mark in replacement of her old one. It was a tattoo of a pinwheel and the fruit she, her adoptive mother and sister loves.
It also symbolizes the gratitude she had for her beloved village.
After she visited Bellemere's grave, she finally said her goodbyes and this time with a real smile of happiness.
And as they depart, she makes sure to leave a lasting impression by robbing every one of their wallets before they set sail. From Going Merry, she waves happily and promises to return someday.
After 8 long years, she is finally free.
