A Wild Card in the Big Blue
East Blue
No Ones P.O.V
Six grinned at Luffy as he charged into Arlong Park. As soon as the rubber man throw his punch at Arlong the rest of the fishman's crew charged at Luffy. Before they even got close to the kid Six brought out Lucky and shot the fishman away along with Sanji, who kicked them.
"Honestly, busting in alone like that." Sanji said with an annoyed look at Luffy.
"It's not like I'm going to lose even if I was alone." Luffy said as he didn't take his eyes off Arlong.
That made Six snort before he brought up Lucky. "Just try not to hog all the glory Luffy. I didn't get to have a descent fight in a while."
"What about Pearl?" Sanji asked with a raised brow.
Six just looked insulted. "Oh please, that guy only did any damage to me because he was holding someone hostage. And I took him out with one move."
A moment later Zoro and Usopp came walking in from behind, one looking scared while the other looked board.
"I don't mind if you hog all of them." Usopp said as he knees shook.
"That's some bravery you got." Zoro joked as he walked up next to Usopp.
"Hey the fact he's here and still scared shitless is impressive." Six said before he looked to Stripe on his shoulder. "You take care of the villagers, and any fishman that get's too close." He said getting a nod from Stripe before he jumped off Six's shoulder.
While Six was talking he heard the fishman talk among themselves, all recognizing Pirate Hunter Zoro and Usopp, who happen to be alive. Johnny and Yosuke were keeping the villagers back as they all watched the fight with amazement on there faces.
Arlong looked at the group that barged into his home with a dark grin. "Pirates, eh. I see. So that's the relationship between you guys. I thought you were just Nami's victims." Arlong said before throwing his head back while laughing. "But what can five inferior beings possibly do?" He said with a smug grin.
Six raised a brow as he glanced around himself before looking to Luffy. "Hey Luffy, I think you need to hold your punches back." He said getting a confused look from the four pirates. "Arlong seems to be spouting nonsense and delusions due to a head injury from the punch you throw." He said making Sanji and Zoro snort while Usopp looked at Six in shock and Luffy still looked confused.
Arlong glared at Six while gritting his teeth. "What did you say human?" He said with a calm rage.
Six looked to Arlong with a Courier grin. "Well, it's just that after Luffy punched you, you seem to have no common sense." Six said as he spread his arms. "We just walked into your home with zero fucks, kick your fishman back like they were ragdolls, and the kid here just punched you straight through a stone wall like you were nothing. So if you still think that we're inferior after all that, then my fish face friend, you are fucked up in the head." Six said with a cheeky grin as both Zoro and Sanji gave a soft laugh.
Arlong eyes were shadowed as his as his body shook with rage. He then slowly lifted his head and glared at the six-arm octopuses fishman. "Hachi, call Mohmoo." He said in a calm voice that scared the other fishman.
"R-right!" Hachi said before he ran to the open water. The fishman grabbed his long mouth in his hands before making a trumpet sound. "Come out! Mohmoo!" Hachi called out to the water.
A moment later the ground start to shake as the water started to move around. Then a large whirlpool formed in the center of the water before something large came out of the water. Six got his hands ready while Usopp screamed in fear, the others indifferent at the water with neutral expressions. After a minute the water cleared to reveal... the same giant fish cow Six saw earlier, who still had a giant bump on his head.
When the cow leaned forward and saw Luffy, Six, and Sanji, he flinched, remembering what they did to him.
"Oh, it's just him." Luffy said as we folded his arms.
"So he's there companion huh." Sanji said as he put his hands in his pockets.
"That explains how he knew how to get here so easily." Six said as he gave the cow a small smirk.
The giant cow had tears running down his face and Six actually felt sorry for him. It was a second before the cow turned away from Arlong Park before he started to swim away. Despite Hachi's protest Mohmoo continued to swim away.
Just before the cow could get away Arlong spoke. "Mohmoo... Where are you going?" Arlong said with a glare that froze the giant cow. "Well, if you want to run away, I won't stop you," Arlong said before a feral look crossed Arlong's face. "Or will I."
Mohmoo shook with fear for a long moment before he turned around with a roar, a feral look on his face. As Mohmoo charged Luffy stepped forward and slammed his feet in the ground for some reason while Mohmoo charged.
Just as Luffy started to move Six stepped forward. "Hang on a minute Luffy." Six said getting a confused look from the rubber man. "Mohmoo, stop!" Six yelled at the top of his lungs making the cow freeze in place, his feral expression gone and now returned back to normal. "Your a smart cow Mohmoo, so you should be able to proses this." He said before looking into the cows eyes with a hard look. "You have two options here. Turn around and be free from Arlong, or fight and get your ass kicked again. You know what Me, Sanji, and Luffy can do, and that was us holding back." Six said making the cow shack in fear as he remembered what they could do. "We're going to kick Arlong's ass along with every other fishman here. So I say again, turn around and be free, or get an ass kicking."
Mohmoo shook as he looked at Six before glancing at Arlong. The cow's eyes went back and forth a few times before he turned around and swam away as fast as he could.
"MOHMOO!" Arlong yelled as loud as he could but the cow just swam away. "I'll get you after this!"
Six just let out a smirk as he saw the cow swim away. "That's one less enemy to deal with." He said before turning to Luffy. "Sorry about taking your fight away," Six said before looking to the ground. "But I felt you were going to do something dangerous."
"That's fine," Luffy said before turning to Arlong. "Because the one I want to fight is you Arlong." Luffy said with a glare, though Arlong just grinned at Luffy.
"We're saved!" Usopp said while giving a cry of relief.
"We could of taken him." Zoro said with a grunt as he took his hands off his sword.
Six just gave the swordsman a shrug. "Hey, from what Luffy was doing I'm pretty sure we could all be caught in the crossfire." He said making Luffy look away while whistling. "See."
Sanji picked up his leg and lightly kicked Luffy in the head. "Bastard."
Luffy just kept his straight look on his face as he started to move side to side. "Huh?" He said in confusion as he looked down.
"How dare you scare Mohmoo away!" Hachi yelled while stomping his feet.
"Look's like we have to get our hands dirty." The karate looking fishman said with a glare. At the same time Usopp slowly sneaked away to a safe distance.
"I think we need to teach them the differences between out species." The big lip fishman said.
Zoro grinned as he looked at the three fishman. "Look's like the main fighters are coming up." The swordsman said while resting his hand on his sword.
"I got the karate fishman, he looks like a challenge compared to Pearl." Six said with a grin a he lightly shook his hands.
Sanji snorted as he took a drag from his cigarette. "Then it looks like I got big lips."
The karate fishman looked to Arlong with a calm look. "Arlong, please stay right where you are."
"If you fight in rage, Arlong Park will turn to dust." Big lips said while looking at his captain.
"We'll take care of them!" Hachi said while throwing his arms in the air. Then out of nowhere his belly started to become bigger.
Zoro glared at the octopus with a serious look on his face. "Looks like that octopus is up to something."
Sanji took another drag from his cigarette before grinning at the octopus. "First you boil the octopus in salt water, slice, then flavor with olive oil."
Six turned a little green and glared at the cook. "Sanji, I know your joking, but stop making jokes like cooking people or fishman or I will kick your ass." He said getting a raised brow from the cook, both ignoring Luffy's calling.
"Take this!" Hachi called out. "Shikai-Zero! Tako-Hachi-Black!"
A moment later black ink shot out of Hachi's mouth and came right at the group of men. Six, Zoro, and Sanji all jumped out of the way, while Luffy took the blast full force in the face.
"Luffy, what are you doing, move!" Six called before looking down at his feet for a moment. "...Are you seriously fucking stuck?!" Six yelled with shake teeth.
"Aha! I can't see!" Luffy yelled while holding his face.
All the other guys yelled at Luffy's stupidity as Hachi grabbed a giant piece of the stone door Luffy broke. The fishman then walked up to the blind pirate before and started to bring the stone down. Just as the stone was about to hit Luffy Sanji ran up and shattered the stone to pieces.
Sanji let out a sigh but had a grin on his face. "Look's like I ended up with a complete moron of a captain."
Zoro just sighed. "Your not alone on that boat."
Six just snorted as he stepped forward. "Well hey, at least Luffy's a hundred times better then these fuckers who take advantage of a young girl and force her in slavery." Six said with a glared.
"A girl?" The karate fishman asked while folding his arms. "You came all the way here for 'that kind' of woman?" The fishman said with a scoff. "You guy's make me laugh."
Six squared off the karate fishman and gave him both a glare and a savage grin. "Pretty big talk coming from a fucking fish-stick who had to blackmail an entire civilian village." Six throw back with a glare. "What, got tired of getting your ass kicked in the Grand Line? So you wanted to feel big and strong by pushing around a group of civilians. Man that's pathetic." Six said with a grin as he equipped Love & Hate.
The fishman glared at Six. "I'll teach you the difference between our species human." He said before he got into a fighting stance.
From the corner of Six's eye he saw Zoro square off against Hachi while Sanji did the same to big lips. Usopp tried to get Luffy out the floor but was the captain was too stuck, so the long nose stood back with the villagers and provided support with his slingshot.
After a moment Arlong finally got up from the floor with a grin on his face. "Same old, same old." Arlong said with a snort as he walked to his man. "Move. This is getting boring."
The karate fishman looked troubled. "Arlong, I thought we asked you to not get violent."
"I'm not going to. I just thought of an interesting game." Arlong said with a smirk that troubled Six.
Luffy glared at Arlong before throwing his arms back, shocking all the fishman. "I'm going to destroy you!" He said before throwing the punch.
"Gomu Gomu No Gatling Gun!"
Arlong dodged the punches at the last second, but the fishman behind her weren't so lucky. As Luffy pulled his fist back Arlong smirked. "So your a Devil Fruit user, even better." Arlong knelt to the ground before stabbing his hand into the floor, and Six's eyes widen.
"Bastard!" Six said as he brought his hand up.
"Big Boomer!"
As soon as the shotgun appeared in his hand Six pointed it at Arlong. But before he could fire the karate fishman was on him and kicked the shotgun up, making Six send off two rounds into the air.
In that time Arlong picked Luffy off the ground while the pirate captain still had his feet covered in stone.
"People who posses the Devil Fruit power are dead-weight in water!" Arlong said as he gave Luffy a smirk. "Well even if you didn't have a Devil Fruit power you would still sink in this situation." Arlong said as he gave a laugh.
Six, Sanji, and Zoro all tried to help Luffy, but were cut off by the other fishman. Luffy throw a bunch at Arlong, but the fishman bit the rubber-man's hand with his shark teeth. So Luffy's response was to bite him back. Arlong screamed in surprise before he throw Luffy into the water.
"Luffy!"
"Bastard!"
"Fuck, kid!"
A moment later Luffy fell into the water feet fist, not even a second later Arlong sat on the ground like nothing happened. Sanji started to run straight at the water without any hesitation.
"I'll go save-"
"Wait you dumbass!" Zoro said, quickly blocking his way. "Don't act so rashly! Going into the sea is exactly what they want."
Six stepped forward and glared at the fishman before him. "He's right, fishman are stronger in water then they are on land. The only way to save Luffy now it so beat them all." He said as he squared off against the karate fishman.
Sanji took a drag from his cigarette and glared at big lips. "Fine by me."
With that the fight started. Zoro ran at Hachi while Sanji did the same with big lips. Six calmly walked up to the karate fishman while putting on Love & Hate.
"It's a shame you were forced to face me." The karate fishman said as he got into a fighting stance. "I am one of the best hand to hand fighters in the crew, right under Arlong. I'm a 40th level Fishman-Karate practitioner human."
Six gave a grin as he started to bounce on his balls of his feet, getting into a boxing stance. "Yeah, well I'm a boxing gun slinger who gives zero fucks." The Courier said with a cocky grin as he glanced at the other fights going on.
Zoro was holding his own to the octopus fishman very well despite him now having six swords, if not for the Stimpack Six gave him Zoro would be having a lot more trouble. Sanji seemed to be having it easier with big lips, who's main fighting style was just spiting water like bullets really fast out of his mouth. The cook had no problem dodging the attack and beating into the fishman. Usopp and Stripe were having there own fight going on with the two taking any of the fishman that got two close to the villagers.
"Where are you looking!"
"100 Direct Punch!"
As the karate sent the punch at Six the Courier ducked low and swept his leg.
"Ranger Takedown!"
As the fishman's punch flew over Six's head he sent a leg swept under the fishman, throwing him to the ground. The fishman growled before throwing himself back to his feet.
"I thought you said you were a boxer?" The fishman asked with a peeved look.
Six gave a smirk as he brought up his hands. "I am, that's the only leg move I know." He said with a cheeky look. "Well that and one more."
The fishman growled before charging at Six with his leg raised with impressive speeds.
"Stomach Drop Kick!"
"Kami-E!"
Just as the fishman's kick was about to connect Six bent his body to an impossible angle and dodged the attack. The fishman looked shocked as Six sent him a smirk before pulling his hand back and punching him right in the face. The fishman cried in pain as he held his face and took a few steps back.
The karate fishman pulled his hand away and glared at Six. "How were you able to bend like that, no normal human could do that."
Six raised a brow before letting out a sigh. "And I heard you came from the Grand Line." He said before pointing to his opponent. "Listen Fish-face, you should know by now that the world is filled with a lot of strange thing, I just happen to be one of them."
The fishman growled before charging at Six sending a karate chop right at the Courier's head. Six raised his hands and blocked the bunch easily, but quickly screamed in surprise and pain when the karate fishman's other hand slammed into his chest.
"High Level Exploding Palm!"
The karate fishman's palm slammed right into Six's stomach sending the Courier flying back. But before he could go far Six felt something wrap around his waist, stopping him in mid air. Looking down Six was actually shocked to see the karate fishman's long ponytail holding him.
With a strong tug the karate fishman pulled Six back to him with impressive speeds. When Six was close enough the fishman raised both of his fin, making Six bring up his arms again.
"Double Arm Blade Slash!"
Both fins slammed into the Courier's arms, making him grit his teeth as he felt the power in them as they sent him flying back into the air. It was like the fishman was using Six as a paddle ball, keeping him off the ground. When the karate fishman pulled Six back he raised his leg high into the air.
"Fire Flower Heel-"
Six rolled his eyes at the long attack name before a big grin crossed his face.
"Drop-"
"Geppo!"
"Kick!"
Just as the kick was coming down Six used Geppo to change his position in the air and was now above fishman, who looked shocked beyond belief as he looked up while the Courier raised his fist.
"Legion Assault!"
Six's fist slammed full force into the karate fishman's face, easily indenting it and throwing him to the ground. The force of the punch along with the fishman's weight shattered the ground easily below him.
The Courier quickly used Geppo and few back a few feet, giving a small stretch once he landed. Slowly the karate fishman pushed himself up while holding his face, which was bleeding from his nose.
"How... could you move like that?!" The Fishman yelled as he got to his feet. "No human could just fly in the air, not even a fishman could do that. Do you have some kind of Devil Fruit?!"
Six just grinned as he tipped his hat. "Sorry to tell you this, but this is all skill and strength. None of what I can do is the result of a Devil Fruit." Six said before looking down at the fishman with a smug look. "In other words, your too weak to face me."
The karate fishman's face morphed into rage as he slowly brought up his fist. "I will kill you with my Fishman Karate human! Using my ultimate technique!" He shouted, making Six raise an eyebrow before the Courier started to loosen his body a bit. "Take this!"
"1000 Tile Smashing True-"
"Soru!"
The karate fishman attack was cut off when Six appeared in front of him out of thin air with his arm held back, making the fishman freeze in shock.
"Paralyzing Palm!"
Six's palm smacked right into the karate fishman chest, making the fishman's muscles tighten, freezing his body in place. Six gave a small sigh as he pulled back and looked the fishman in his frozen eyes.
"Paralyzing Palm is a move where I hit someone in the chest with just enough force over there heart to freeze them in place." Six explained as he moved side to side a bit, seeing the fear in the fishman's eyes. "It's different for each person, and sometimes it doesn't work altogether." He said before a big grin crosses his face as he slapped a hand on the frozen Fishman. "But you want to know the funny thing. I never used this move on a fishman before, just people. So I guess we're not so different after all."
Suddenly a dark glare crossed Six's face as he looked into the karate fishman eyes.
"You kill people for pleasure, destroy families, all for some sick pleasure of superiority. There is nothing I can do to even the pain you caused everyone on this island." Six swaying started to become faster as he never took his eyes off the fishman. "But I can try! Using the fists my friend taught me how to use!" He said just before his fist connected with the fishman's side of the face.
(Flashback-Start)
"I'm sorry, could you repeat that?" A smug yet slightly confused feminine voice said.
Six rolled his eyes at Veronica. "I said, 'Could you teach me boxing'?"
Veronica nodded her head slowly, her face now just confused. "Ok, but why? You one of the fastest guns I've ever seen Six, not even Raul can keep up. Plus your not that bad with your hands already. So I like to know why you would want to learn how to Box?"
Six gave a small sigh before he spoke. "Remember that Legion assassination group we ran into today?" Six asked getting a nod from Veronica. "Well one of them got the drop on me, knocked Lucky away. I managed to knock his weapon way to and we were forced to fight with our hands, and I got my ass handed to me." He said without any shame. "If it wasn't for Rex stalling him long enough for me I could be dead, or at least have a broken nose." Six said before giving out a sigh. "So I was hopping if you could teach me boxing, seeing as how your one of the best hand to hand fighters I know."
Veronica has a thoughtful expression for a second before she shrugged. "Okay." She said without a care.
Six blinked at the young woman with confusion. "That's it, you'll just teach me."
Veronica waved him off with a smile. "Of course I'll teach you Six, your one of my best friends. The only reason I asked as because I was curious, and you have a real legit answer. How can I say no."
Six sent her a smile. "Thanks Veronica, I cant' thank you enough."
"You can thank me by taking me seriously." She said as she got up and walked up to Six. "In fact we can start our lesson right now."
"Really?" Six asked, looking really surprise.
"Of course," Veronica said as she put her hands on he hips as she smirked at Six. "First we can go over one of the most important things in boxing." She said with a gleam in eyes.
Six felt some dread as he looked into Veronica's eyes. "And what would that be Ver-"
"DODGE!"
(Flashback-End)
Six smiled at the memory as he started to sway side to side even faster, his head now moving in a figure-eight motion.
"Thanks for teaching me everything Veronica." Six thought as he upper body was now moving in a blur.
The karate fishman looked at Six with shock in rage as his body slowly started to move again.
"D-Damn human-" The fishman's rant was cut short when Six slammed his fist into the side of his face with extreme speeds.
Not even a second later Six's other fist made contact with the other side of the fishman's face.
"Dempsey Roll!"
In a blurring motion Six hit the karate fishman from side to side with the force of a cannon. Each punch doing a very noticeable snap sound as it hit the fishman in the face as his body whipped side to side. Giving one final yell Six pulled his arm back before punching the fishman square in the face with enough force to send him flying in to the building.
"Huh, I thought he'd be tougher." Six said with a cocky grin as he looked to the other fighters.
Zoro and Sanji both took out Hachi and big lips, both looking relatively uninjured, with the exception of Sanji bleeding from his leg and Zoro's chest bleeding. Arlong shook with rage as he stared at his fallen fishman.
"Hachi, Kuroobi, Chew," Arlong muttered as he got up, shaking in anger. The rest of the fishman that were still away were looking at the humans in shock.
"Small fries will be small fries." Sanji said with a grin as he leaned on his left foot more. "Look's like this game is ours for the taking."
Arlong looked at them with a feral look on his face. "How dare you do this to my brethren... but don't think you won yet human." The fishman said as he got up.
Glancing to the water with a worry expression Six was surprised to see Nojiko holding Luffy's head just above the water.
"It look's like Luffy's in no real danger at the moment." Zoro muttered as he put his hand on his sword.
"I can make a trip down to the ocean floor and break Luffy free." Sanji said before he glanced at Arlong and the other fishman. "But I don't think they'll let us."
Six had a thoughtful look on his face before he turned to the other human fighters. "Sanji, can you reach Luffy at the bottom of the ocean?"
The cook nodded without hesitation. "Yeah, it might take a trip or two but I can break the stone that's holding him."
The Courier nodded before holding out his hand and his Rebreather appearing and tossed it to Sanji, who just looked confused. "It's called a Rebreather, it allows someone to breath under water without a problem."
"How long?" Sanji asked as he looked at the device with shock.
"About an 2 hours, but don't take it off while underwater or you'll need to come back up and rinse it out." Six said as he walked up to Arlong, who just looked down at the Courier. "Zoro, hold off any fishman that try to go after Sanji... I'll hold Arlong off."
Zoro looked surprised but nodded as Sanji ran to the water with the Rebreather. Not even a second later the other surviving fishman were on them, but Zoro pushed them back easily though some did jump into the water.
Said fishman's leader looked pissed before he let out a loud laugh. "Do you really think you can take me on human?"
Six just put away Love & Hate before shaking his hand. "Listen fish-face, your not the toughest thing I ever face, and not even the most evil." The Courier said before letting a grin cross his face. "Besides, Luffy's the one who said he was going to kick your ass. I just need to hold you off long enough for him to get back."
Arlong's face morphed into rage as he held up his hand. "I don't even need to touch you, you pathetic human." He said before he swiped his hand, sending little droplets of water at Six.
With alarm bells going off Six acted.
"Kami-E!"
Bending his body Six was able to dodge the little water droplets that flew past him, all except for one that grazed his shoulder. Six went crashing to the ground while holding his should, mostly in shock then in pain. Looking back the Courier saw that the water Arlong throw had made holes in the stone wall behind him, like bullets.
"Whoa, that caught me off guard." Six said with a chuckle as he picked himself up from the floor. "But I should of expected you use water as a weapon. So let me show you my weapons." Six said before holding out his hands as the fishman.
"Double Magnum!"
Two revolvers appeared in Six's hands, Lucky and the Mysterious Magnum. The Courier didn't hesitate to start firing at the fishman with both guns. Arlong raised his arms and took the twelve bullets all over his arms and body. They didn't cause any serious damage or bleeding, but they did burse the fishman.
Arlong growled before pulling his hand back and sending another set of water bullets. Six quickly used Geppo and flew to the sky as he reloaded both of his guns.
"Don't think your flying can save you human!" Arlong said as he started to throw more water at Six.
The Courier quickly flew higher into the air as he put his guns away. He then turned his body and was now flying straight towards Arlong.
"I'm going to break that nose clean off you son of a Bitch!" Six yelled before pulling his arms back.
"Knock-Knock!"
A large silver axe appeared in Six's hands as he flew down to Arlong. Once close enough Six spun around with the axe aimed at Arlong's side. But the fishman easily caught the axe in his hands, though the force was enough to make him take a step back.
"Not down yet!" Six said as he pulled his hand off the weapon.
"Big Boomer!"
Six's only shotgun was now aimed right at Arlong's head before pulling the trigger twice. The fishman's head whipped back for a good second before coming back looking more pissed. Arlong then grabbed Six by the shoulders before throwing a head-butt aimed right at the Courier's chest, his sharp nose gleaming in the light.
"Kami-E!"
Throwing his legs up Six was able to twist his body enough to avoid Arlong's attack. Pulling his arm back again Six glared at Arlong.
"Blood-Nap!"
Six's favorite bowie knife appeared in his hands as he slashed Arlong across his arms, actually getting a scream of pain from him. Picking his legs back down Six placed both his feet right on Arlong's face.
"Geppo!"
Both feet slammed right into the fishman's face with enough force to make him let go of Six and push him to the ground. The Courier landed on the ground about 15 feet away, slightly out of breath. Arlong was tough as hell, it was almost like a Super-Mutant and Deathclaw combined to create this guy. If not for Six's experience and training the Courier would be well dead. Out of the corner of his eye Six saw Zoro was taking care of the last fishman, but now laying on the ground and was panting hard. Usopp and Stripe seemed to be just sitting and watching the fight as the villagers gapped in amazement. Looking to the water Six saw some fishman floating unconscious in the water and more were still starting to surface, meaning Sanji was holding his own.
Arlong looked at his bleeding arm with a glare before turning to Six. "No human has ever made me bleed before." He said in a calm fury.
Six just grinned as he flipped Blood-Nap in his hands. "Then you never got far in the Grand Line."
Arlong growled like an animal and open his mouth to say something, but was quickly cut off.
"Arlong!"
Looking back, Six was surprised at who he saw.
"Nami?" The Courier muttered in confusion.
Arlong sent the redhead a grin. "Great timing, I was just about to kill this pirate." Arlong said in a superior voice that made Six snort. "So what brings you here?"
Nami looked right into Arlong's eyes. "I came here to kill you." She said without any hesitation.
That seemed to just make Arlong laugh. "Shahahahah! To kill me?! In the 8 years you've been with me how many times have you tried to kill me?" He said before looking at Nami right in the eyes. "Weather it be assassination, poisoning, or surprise attacks you never succeeded! Shouldn't you know well by now that it's impossible for inferior humans to kill me!?"
Six just shook his head at the fishman's rant. He'd agree that a fishman was born stronger, but that did not make him stronger instantly.
Arlong send Nami a dark look with a big grin on his face. "Listen well, I'm not going to kill you, and I won't let you escape either! I'll have you be my cartographer forever!" Arlong declared making Nami go stiff. "But as you know I'm an understanding guy. I don't want to chain down a young woman if possible."
That made Six snort. "Could of fooled me asshole." The Courier muttered.
"That's why I'd rather have you be my cartographer out of your own will." Arlong went on as if he didn't hear Six. "Other then you, I'm planning to kill everyone here right now, but if you agree to join the Arlong Pirates again, and continue drawing maps for me as one of my crew officers, I'll specially allow for the lives of those Cocoyashi villagers to be spared." The fishman said in a superior voice as he pointed to the villagers. "Expect for the pirates here, they piss me off too much."
"Any time any place fucker!" Six said while flipping off the fishman.
Arlong glared at Six before looking to Nami again. "So which will you choose to side with?" He asked as a dark grin crossed his face. "Tell me Nami, are you with me? Or with them?"
Nami looked troubled as she started at Arlong for a long moment, sweat dripping down her face. The villagers all yelled in outrage at Arlong without any fear that it impressed Six greatly. After a long moment Nami finally turned to the villagers.
"I'm sorry everyone!" Nami said before giving them all a small smile. "But would you please, die with me!?"
"ALRIGHT!" Everyone yelled.
Six had a big grin on his face as he face Arlong, who looked pissed. "Look's like the people have spoken Arlong." He said before crouching low. "And your the one who's going to die." As Six said those words he hard a loud thud some from the water, making him grin. "About time Luffy."
Arlong turned to the water with a confused expression. "What are you going on about-"
"Soru!"
Faster then Arlong could blink Six was on him. The fishman raised his arms to attack but it was already too late.
"Special Killer Attack-"
Six pulled his leg back as Arlong brought his arms down, but again Six was faster using Soru.
"Nutcracker!"
The only sound that could be heard was a gong going off, as Six drove his foot right between Arlong's legs. The force of the kick was strong enough to lift the fishman off the ground.
Pulling his leg back Six jumped back a few feet with a grin as he looked at Arlong, the Courier's back now towards the water. Turning to the shocked and gapping villagers Six throw them a peace sign, hell even Zoro's jaw was dropped.
"Hey guys, I just kicked a fishman in the dick!" Six said with a laugh as Arlong still didn't move, his eyes shades. "I'm going to be a legend!"
Arlong shook for a long moment before glared at Six with pure hatred. "Your dead-"
Six spit laughed at Arlong's slightly higher voice, pissing off the fishman even more. Just when Arlong opened his mouth he was cut off by someone.
"I'm Back!" Luffy screamed as he was launched into the air.
Six gave a grin as he didn't take his eyes off Arlong. "About time Luffy." Six muttered as everyone cheered for the Rubber man.
"Six!" A moment Luffy's hands shot forward and grabbed the Courier by the shoulders.
"Huh?" Six blinked before he felt some dread wash over him. "Luffy you son of a-
"Switch with me!" He yelled before pulling Six back and launching him into the sky.
"BITCH!" Six screamed as he went flying.
"You Dumbass!" Everyone yelled.
Six went flying into the air while spinning. He'd tried to use Geppo but was having trouble with his body constantly spinning. So the Courier let nature take his course and fell into the water.
Once landing in the water Six floated up and started to bob in the waves while staring up.
The Courier blinked before letting out a big laugh. "That kid is crazy." He said before smiling at the sky. "Joining his crew is sounding more and more appealing right now." Six said before sighing. "Now, do I swim back and see Luffy kick Arlong's ass, or just float here and wait for everything to be over... Yeah."
With that said Six started to swim back to Arlong Park at a calm pace. It wasn't long before Six swam back into Arlong park and quickly got out of the water on the side. Walking a bit Six found himself with Sanji, Nojiko, and a guy covered from head to toe in scars, who all looked to Six with a surprised expression.
Sanji looked up with a slight surprised expression. "Back already, I thought you would have taken longer."
Six just snorted as he sat down next to Nojiko. "Please, that throw just caught me off guard." Six said as he looked at the fight that was happening. "So, what did I miss?" Six asked as he watched Luffy swing his swords with poor skill.
"Well after you were thrown away." Sanji said with a snort making Six flip him off. "Luffy started to fight Arlong, the shark tried to bite Luffy with his teeth. Instead it got caught in puller but the fishman bit even through stone." He said making Six whistle.
As the Courier sat it wasn't long before Stripe came running to Six and climbed up his shoulder, giving a low growl. "I'm fine buddy." Six said while rubbing the tinny Deathclaws head.
Looking back to the fight Luffy throw one of the swords in his hands at Arlong before pulling his arms with the other sword and hitting Arlong in the head with it. But the fishman just caught the blade in his teeth before shattering it like glass.
"Enough with your little g-"
"Shut your trap!" Luffy shouted as he spun around while pulling back his fist.
Luffy's fist met Arlong's jaw and sent the fishman falling back. At the same time there was a noticeable creaking sound as Arlong's teeth shattered to pieces, making Arlong scream in pain.
Nojiko's jaw dropped as she stared at the fallen Arlong. "I can't believe he broke Arlong's teeth, I've seen him bite clean through iron before."
Six just grinned as he leaned forward. "That kid is a damn good fighter. He's raw as hell but has some form of hand to hand experience."
Luffy got to his feet and glared at Arlong. "Of course I don't know how to fight with swords you dumbass!" Luffy said without any shame creating a stun silence. "I don't know a thing about Navigation either! I can't cook, I can't shoot a gun right, and I can't lie either!"
"Hey."
"I'm comfortable that I wouldn't survive if other people aren't there to help me!"
Six had a smile on his face as he thought about his own companions. The Courier was good at a lot of thing but he sucked with others as well. He didn't know how to use long range weapons well like Boone. Science went over his head, which is why he left it to Veronica. Arcade was a better doctor then he could ever be. Raul knew how to fix nearly everything while Six mostly just did weapons. All of the Courier's companions could do things he could not, and Six didn't have a problem with that.
"You call yourself a captain when you don't have an ounce of self-confidence!?" Arlong yelled out despite the broken teeth. "Just what exactly can you do!?"
Luffy sent the fishman a big grin. "I can beat you." Luffy said without any hesitation.
Sanji grinned as all the villagers cheered. "Damn straight."
"Kick his ass Luffy!" Six called as he laughed.
Arlong glared at Luffy as he stood up. "Enough babbling you pathetic human!" Arlong yelled as his teeth fell out before being replaced with brand new ones.
"Ahh! His teeth grew back!" Luffy yelled in surprise and he wasn't the only one.
"I am a shark after all. My teeth will grow back every time." Arlong said with a smug grin at Luffy. "And these new ones are always stronger than the last! No matter..." Arlong reached into his mouth and pulled out his new teeth, a second later another pair grow. "How many times!" He yelled before doing the same thing again. "This is the gift bestowed to me by the heavens." Arlong said as he held the teeth in his hands. "Now do you realize, just how much superior fishman are?" He said while snapping the teeth in his webbed hands.
"...Wait, so out of all the gifts heaven could of given you, your satisfied with the power to grow teeth faster?" Six called out loud with a confused expression, gaining everyone's attention. "Wow, I feel sorry for you. Out of all the powers you could of been given teeth was all you got. My sympathy." Six said with a cocky grin as Arlong shook with anger.
Nojiko pulled on Six's arm to bring him down low. "Don't try and direct his attention to us, I don't want to die before you save the village." She said with an annoyed look on her face.
Six gave a sheepish laugh as he rubbed the back of his head. "Sorry, I have a habit of egging on big pricks like him." Six said before looking back at the fight.
"Tooth Gum!"
Arlong started to used the teeth in his hands not that different from the bear-trap gauntlet Six found at the Sierra Madre.
Luffy tried to stop the attack and was able to catch one of Arlong's hands, but not the other.
"Shahahah!" Arlong laughed before he attacked.
"Gyaaa!" A painful scream was head... but it wasn't Luffy's scream.
Narrowing his eyes Six grinned at what he saw Luffy do. "That kid can be ruthless."
Arlong looked down and was shocked at what he saw. "Wha!? My fellow fishman!" Arlong shouted in shock as saw that Luffy had used a fishman as a shield. "Why you...!
"Hmm... this gives me a good idea." Luffy said as he rubbed his chin.
"How dare you use one of my brethren as your shield!" Arlong shouted, pissed as ever.
Luffy dropped the fishman and gave Arlong a small smirk. "What're you talking about? You're the one who attacked him." Luffy said as a fact.
"Did he come up with a secret strategy or something?" Sanji asked with some confusion.
"Don't get your hopes up. Remember this is the same kid who thought it be a good idea to slam his feet into the ground." Six said with a smirk making the other's feel some dread.
"Tooth Gum!" Arlong shouted as he started to snap the teeth in his hands at Luffy, who dodged every attack.
When Arlong got close Luffy spun around and kicked him hard in the side of the face. The kick was strong enough to send Arlong to the ground and kick his teeth out of his mouth, making Luffy grin.
"It came out!" He said before he grabbed the teeth.
"Could it be he planes to use those teeth as a weapon the same as Arlo- Oh never mind, he's just fucking around." Six said with a deadpan look as he saw how Luffy used the teeth.
"Look! I have fangs too!" Luffy said as he stuffed the teeth in his rubber mouth.
"Just how long do you plan to play around!?" Arlong shouted in anger as he cut Luffy with his own teeth.
"Gyaaaa! I've been bitten by a shark!" Luffy shouted in pain.
"It' because your playing around!" The two bounty hunters shouted from the villagers side.
"I'm not playing around!" Luffy said as he pushed himself up while holding his sides.
"Tooth Gum!" Arlong shouted as he attacked Luffy again.
At the last second the pirate grabbed a nearby boulder and used at a shield. The fishman was easily able to break the rock with his attack, but Luffy was able to get out of the way in time. As Luffy rolled Arlong chased him down and was able to stab Luffy in the stomach with his shark teeth. Luffy screamed in pain for a second before biting Arlong in the shoulder, drawing blood.
With that the two pulled back from each other.
"Ha! How dose being bitten by tour own teeth feel?!" Luffy shouted with a grin as he held his sides.
Arlong looked annoyed as he pulled the teeth out of his shoulder. "They may be my teeth... but with your feeble little jaw...! Listen up, what defines a shark's teeth is it's ability-" Just then in a intent Arlong was on Luffy, his teeth ripping into the pirates elbow. "To rip flesh to tears!"
"Fuck!" Six shouted as he started at Luffy's arm. "One wrong move and Luffy's arm is gone!"
Without any hesitation Luffy grabbed Arlong in the back of the head before he spun around and slammed the fishman into the ground by his elbow.
"...Ok, that was badass." Six said with a grin. "But still a little dumb."
"Well in his case, it's not as if he has the brains to actually understand how the teeth work." Sanji said with a snort.
"I don't know, I've seen that kid eat. I wouldn't be surprised if he had the jaw strength of a shark." Six said getting a snort from Sanji.
Arlong got back off the ground while rubbing the back of his head. Looking at his hand Arlong saw blood, a second later in jumped into the water.
Luffy panted as he pulled the shark teeth that were still on his sides. When he looked up he saw Arlong was nowhere in sight. "Where'd he go!?"
"Luffy! The Water!" Usopp yelled, making the pirate turn to the water to see a fin poking out.
"There's a shark in the water!"
"That's Arlong numb nuts!" Six shouted.
A moment later the fin dove down.
"I got a bad feeling." Sanji said as he kept his eyes on the water.
"Shark On-
A moment later Arlong shot out of the water like a missile, grazing Luffy and sending him flying.
"Darts!"
"A torpedo!?" Sanji shouted in shock.
"Worse, Arlong!" Six said with a glare.
Luffy fell head first into the ground as he held his bleeding side. On top of the building was Arlong looking down at Luffy with a sick grin before he jumped off.
"Shark On Darts!"
Luffy was able to dodge this attack, resulting in Arlong's nose impaling the ground with his nose.
Six jaw dropped at what he saw. "His damn nose pierced the ground! How the fuck dose that work!?"
Arlong grinned at Luffy before he pulled himself out of the ground.
"Shark On Darts!"
Again Arlong blasted past Luffy like a missile and sent the rubber-man spiraling. Without giving Luffy any chance to recover Arlong used his attack from behind and sent Luffy to the ground before the fishman jumped into the water.
"Hurry up and hide, brother Luffy!" Johnny and Yosuke yelled out.
"...No." Luffy said while glaring at the water.
"Don't be stupid!" Sanji yelled with a shocked look on his face. "He's aiming for you right now! You've got to hide right now!"
"I said no!" Luffy shouted, shutting Sanji up. "I'll catch him and crush that nose of his!" Luffy declared as he stared at the water.
"...He's right." Six said getting a shocked look from Sanji, Nojiko, and scars. "Arlong's going to keep using that attack until he kills Luffy. The kid needs to find some way to catch Arlong or at least the attack." He said getting some understanding looks from everyone.
"Come at me shark!" Luffy yelled with a huff.
The pirate ignored the warning as just grabbed his fingers.
"Gomu Gomu No Shield!"
A second later Luffy pulled his fingers to the side, barley covering anything.
"Shark On Darts!"
Arlong shot out of the water hitting Luffy full force, but by some miracle Luffy's 'shield' was able to stop Arlong from stabbing him.
"What happened!? Was he hit!?" Usopp yelled in fear as he saw Luffy fall.
"No! He bounced himself away from Arlong!" Sanji yelled with a shocked look on his face.
Luffy flew through the air before hanging on the wall of the building. "Shishishsi! That move won't work on me anymore!" Luffy said while laughing.
"Shark On Darts!"
Arlong came from below Luffy, grazing him while sending him flying back.
"You won't escape from me!" Arlong said before jumping off the building right at Luffy. "Time to finish this!"
"As if I'll let you!" Luffy yelled as he held his hands behind his heads while weaving his fingers.
"Gomu Gomu No Net!"
Luffy's fingers shot out of his hands to form a large net in front of Arlong, stopping the fishman's attack mid-air.
"Time for fishing!" Luffy laughed as he flipped in the air. "Fallowed by!" Luffy pulled both his feet together as he flipped above Arlong.
"Spear!"
Both of Luffy's feet slammed into Arlong's chest, sending the fishman crashing to the ground with a powerful force, making Arlong spit out a globe of blood.
"It worked!" Everyone cheered as Luffy fell to the ground.
Then without warning Arlong's eyes snapped open, which were now slits.
"Arlong's eyes changed!" Nojiko said in shock.
"They're the same eyes that a sea king has when it goes berserk!" Sanji said as he looked at Arlong in shock.
"So in other words Luffy just made him angrier." Six said as he narrowed his eyes at Arlong.
Arlong stood up with a feral look in his eyes before grabbing Luffy by the head, "How dare an inferior human," Arlong shouted as he started to spin Luffy around like a rope. "Do this," Pulling his arm back Arlong throw Luffy into the building with enough force to shatter the wall. "To me, a fishman!?"
A moment later Luffy got up from the pile of rocks without a problem. But Arlong was on the rubber-man in a second, forcing Luffy to dodge up. Arlong didn't stop his attack and stab his hand through the building, a moment later he pulled out a freakishly long sword covered in blades.
"It's the Saw-Shaped sword!" Nami yelled with some fear.
Six hit the ground hard with an annoyed look on his face. "Are you freaking kidding me, that is the weakest name I have ever heard!" Six shouted getting a surprised look from Nojiko. "You should of called it something cooler then that pussy ass name!"
Sanji sighed as he sent Six a glare. "Calm down you weapon freak, take it after Luffy's finished kicking his ass." He said before looking back to the fight.
"I'll make that sword weapon number 34." Six said with a grin getting a shocked look from Nojiko and scars.
Arlong slammed the sword up at Luffy but missed, but that didn't stop him and the fishman kept swimming up until the two were inside the building.
"He escaped inside!" Sanji said with some shock.
"That's not going to stop the fight." Six said as he kept his eyes on the window, looking for any signs of a fight.
There was a deadly calm outside as no one spoke a single word. After a full minute there was a loud crash and something came flying out. After a second Six raised an eyebrow when he saw what his was.
"A desk?" Sanji said in confusion.
It wasn't long before there was another crash and a book case came flying out. The it was another desk, some maps, and even more maps.
That's when it hit Six, on what Luffy was doing. Whipping his head to the side Six saw tears running down Nami's face as she started at all the stuff that was thrown out of the building.
"It's Nami's room," Six said grabbing everyone's attention. "It's the mapping room Arlong forced her to work in. And Luffy's destroying it." He said getting a shocking gasp from Nojiko as tears ran down her face as Sanji and scars looked shocked.
This continued for a few more moments before everything stopped and things turned quiet.
"It stopped." Sanji muttered as he glared at the building.
After a few long moments Arlong scream was heard before something blasted the tip of the building off. Looking closer Six was surprised to see it was Luffy's foot. It stood there for a long second before it came down faster then a bullet, causing a huge shockwave to be felt through Arlong park. Six felt his jaw drop as he saw the giant building start to fall apart.
Out of the corner of his eye Six saw Nami being held back as she tried to go into the building while calling out Luffy's name. Six jumped to his feet and was about to run in himself, but the building already collapsed.
"LUFYYYYY!" Nami yelled with dread as she saw the building fall.
The shockwave of the building was strong, pushing everyone back. Acting fast Six grabbed Nojiko and picked her up bridle-style before flying up with Geppo. It wasn't long before the building had completely fallen over when Six started to fall down near Nami. There was an intense silence as Six let Nojiko fall to the ground and rush to her sister. Everyone stared at the building to see who would come out.
Then out of nowhere Luffy stood at the very top of the rubble, his body bloody and bruised but alive, making everybody cheer.
Luffy was silent for a moment as he panted for air, but he finally spoke. "Nami!" He shouted, grabbing the redhead's attention. "You're my crewmate, got it!?"
Nami had tears in her eyes but a big smile on her face. "Got it, captain." She said while Nojiko hugged her.
Everyone shouted up while cheering pure happiness. Stripe let out a roar of victory while Six laughed to the sky.
Unfortunately the calibration didn't last long. "That's enough celebration! Chi-chi-chi-chi!"
Turning around Six saw a Marine dressed like a mouse with a smug expression on his face. Along with about 15 other Marines all pointing guns at the villagers.
"What a lucky day it is for me today! I'd like to thank you all for showing me a most exhilarating battle! The Arlong Pirate being defeated by a bunch of no-names!" The Marine said as he held out his arm. "But thanks to you, the money that I had to hand over to Arlong, as well as all the riches of Arlong Park now belong to me! So throw down your arms! I, Cpt. Nezumi of the 16th branch of the Marines shall herby take credit for your victory!" He shouted in a superior voice.
And just like that Six was pissed beyond all hell as he started to walk to the Marines, who all raised there guns at him. As Six walked he grinned as he saw a certain swordsman come up from behind the Marine and grab him by the hood.
"It's not nice to be such a wet blanket, when people are busy celebrating." Zoro said with a wicked grin.
Walking up Six looked right at the swordsman with a grin. "Zoro, let him go!" Six said getting a confused look from the swordsman before he saw the wink from the Courier.
Letting go of the scramming captain the Marine snarled. "I see you realize the power I posses-"
"Stripe, Sic'em Boy!"
The Deathclaw grinned as it jumped of Six's shoulder and landed right on the Marine's face, before clawing at it. This resulted in the Marine to scream in pain as the other Marines tried to help him.
"Where do you think your going boys!" Six said with a dark grin as he pulled out his Golden Gloves, making all the Marines freeze in fear. "We're just getting started."
About five minutes later there was a pile of beat up and bloody Marines thanks to Luffy, Zoro, Sanji, Usopp, Stripe, and Six.
"Is his mouth still alive?" Sanji asked as he started at the babbling Marine captain.
Nami came up from behind Luffy and put his hat back on his head before she walked up to the fallen Marine captain. "This is for shooting Nojiko, and defiling Bellemere's orange fields."
A second later Nami sent the Marine flying right into the water with her staff alone.
Six had a big grin on his face as he walked to the water and picked the Marine by the neck. "So may I ask where Red's money is?"
"It's on the ship!" The Marine shouted in fear.
Six nodded, the smile never leaving his face as he turned around. "Zoro, Sanji, can you hold him up."
The two looked confused but did what they were told and holding the Marine by the shoulder as he tried to get away. "What are you doing, let me go!" The Marine shouted in fear.
Six just kept his smile as Oh, Baby! appeared in his hands, making the Marine nearly wet himself. "You came here in a big entrance, I thought I should send you away in style."
Nezumi shook in fear before he looked to Luffy. "You, let me go Straw-Hat boy, your the Captain right, Luffy! If you don't let me go your going to pay for this, I swear it!" He shouted before looking to Six. "And you, I will have you hanged, I heard your name was Six right."
Six raised an eyebrow as he put the hammer down, making the Marine grin. "My name is Courier Six, yes." He said before he started to look in his pocket with a frustrated expression. "Now where did I put it?" Six grumbled.
"What are you looking for Six?" Usopp asked while tilting his head.
The Courier gave a sigh as he looked to the Marines with a blank look. "I'm sorry man, but it looks like I have 'no fucks' to give you." Six said with a big grin as he picked up Oh, Baby!, making the Marines face turned white. Sanji and Zoro on the other hand let out a laugh as Six started to whine up.
"Wait, don't-"
"Grand Slam!"
Putting all his power into the hammer Six sent the Marine flying with a loud Smack. The Courier grinned as he saw the corrupt Marine soon became a dote as he turned to the other Marines. "You better catch up to him before he drowns."
With that the Marines swam after there captain. There was a stun silence with the villagers before they all cheered and started to run back to the village.
Six turned to the other fighter with a grin. "Well, that was satisfying." He said before looking to Zoro and frowning. "And we need to get you to a doctor."
Zoro raise an eyebrow at Six. "Why?"
The Courier just pointed to his gut. "Well either your wound reopened, or you just became a woman."
Looking down Zoro was shocked to see his stomach covered in blood. "Shit!" He shouted making everyone else laugh.
The next three day were filled with nothing but partying. Luffy ate none stop, even a plate once. Zoro drank with Six, Sanji flirted with girls left and right, Usopp sang about his bravery, and Jonny and Yosaku danced around like fools, but everyone's having a good time. The only one with serious injuries was Zoro, but after another Stimpack and with the doctors the swordsman was up and running.
Six took a big gulp from the rum he was drinking before letting out a sigh, on top of his head was his Party Hat he put on for laughs. He was sitting onto of a roof as he watched the party going on below. The only big party he could remember was the huge party after the Battle of Hoover Dam, but this one was way more intense. Looking to the side he was Stripe sleeping peacefully without a care in the world.
"Hey Six," Looking down Six saw Luffy below with a bunch of meat in his hands. "What are you doing up there?"
The Courier shrugged as he jumped of the house and landed right in front of Luffy. "Just taking a break, what are you up to?"
Luffy pointed to the hill with the meat in his hand. "Sanji said he ate a Raw Ham Melon, I'm looking for it." He said as he finished the meat in his mouth.
Six gave a light laugh. "Always with the food, huh." He said while shaking his head. "You just keep being you kid." Six said before taking a swig from his drink.
"Hey Six," Luffy said, this time in a more serious voice. "Join my crew."
That made the Courier pause for a long moment before he looked at Luffy with a smile. "Alright, I'll join your crew."
Luffy had a big grin on his face as he throw his hands in the air. "Alright-"
"But!" Six said suddenly, cutting Luffy off. The rubber-man looked at Six with slight confusion. "I will join your crew, but if the actions you commit ever go against my morals, then we're going to gave a problem." Six said before gave Luffy a grin. "Okay?"
Luffy nodded with a grin. "Okay!" He said before running away. "Now for some Raw Ham Melon!"
Six shook his head as he took another swig of his rum. "I can already tell that guy is going to be a problem. But at least things will be fun."
"So you decided to join them?"
Turning around Six came face to face with Nojiko, who looked at Six with a smirk as she held a large cup in her hands. "Nice hat by the way." She said with a grin.
Six sent her a smile as he leaned against the building behind him. "Right now I have no major goals, and joining them seems to be more fun." He said before taking another sip of his rum with a slight frown. "Damn this stuff is light."
Nojiko raised an eyebrow before taking a big swig of her own then let out a sigh. "It seems pretty strong to me."
Six had a thoughtful look on his face before a grin crossed his face. "If you want to taste something strong," The Courier held out his hand and a bottle of clear liquid appeared in his hands. "Then let's try some of this." He said before poring some of the drink into his and Nojiko cups and shook them up. "Word of warning, it's like being kick in the gut by a mule."
Nojiko raised an eyebrow before the two both took a sip at the same time. As soon as the alcohol touched Nojiko's mouth her eyes widen with shock as held back from hacking up. After a second Nojiko pulled the mug away with tears in her eyes.
"What the hall was that?" She asked while whipping her tears away.
Six finished the mug in one go before looking to Nojiko with a grin. "A drink from my homeland, it's called 'Westland Tequila'."
Nojiko looked at her mug for a moment before shaking her head and looking to Six. "That stuff is strong." She said before taking a smaller sip. "So Nami told me she's going with you guy, to become your navigator."
That seemed to make Six snort with a grin on his face, getting a confused look from Nojiko. "I think you mean she's Luffy's navigator. The kid made that very clear." He said with a small laugh.
Nojiko's eyes widen slightly as she got a playful grin on her face. "Really, I never would of guessed that guy would be interested in a woman. He seems too simple for that."
Again Six snorted. "I don't even think he realizes it yet. But he seemed way more determined to make her a part of his crew then the others, even me."
Nojiko looked thoughtful for a moment before nodding her head slowly and taking a sip of her mug, giving a small grimes. Reaching behind herself Nojiko throw something to Six. "Here, this is yours."
Catching what Nojiko throw in mid-air Six was surprised to see it was his money. "Your giving it back?" Six said with some confusion.
Nojiko nodded with a smile. "Of course, you gave that money to help the village, but since we don't need it anymore I want to give it back. That's a lot of money."
Six still looked at Nojiko in shock as he put the money away. "Wow, usually whenever I give people money they just give me a quick thanks before walking away."
The lavender hair woman smirked at Six before walking up to him with a sway in her hips. "Then here's my thanks." She said just before giving Six a small kiss on the cheek, making his eyebrows shoot up. "Thanks for everything." She said before walking away with a very noticeable shake in her hips.
Six eyes were glued to Nojiko's lower body as she walked away, a thousand thoughts running through his head. But before the Courier could do anything something landed on his head hard, making him take a step back in surprise. Pulling whatever was on his head Six saw it was Stripe, who happen to still be asleep. Looking up Six saw Nojiko was nowhere in sight, making him sigh.
"Damn," Six muttered before a bottle of Wasteland Tequila appeared in his hands and he took a big swig. "Well, there's always next time." Six said with a laugh as he walked away. "But for now... LET'S PARTY!" Six shouted before he joined a Johnny and Yosaku and started to dance like a fool, throwing Stripe over his shoulder.
It was the next day of a long party and it was time for the group of pirates to leave. Everyone was present on the ship the Going Marry, except for Nami. Zoro, Six, and Usopp brought supplies the villagers gave to them onto the ship. Johnny and Yosaku were on the docks together facing the pirate ship, mirroring there movements.
"We must now return back to our jobs as Bounty Hunters. So thank you for all your help until now." Yosaku said as he put a hand on his chin.
"Though we must say goodbye, may we meet once again someplace else in the future." Johnny said with his own dramatic flare.
"I see then, take care!" Usopp said from the ship.
Six smirked as he handed Zoro the last create of supplies before turning to the Bounty Hunters. "You know once you become strong enough and took all the big names in East Blue, you should head for the Grand Line." He said getting a surprised look from the two.
"I don't think we'll be making it to the Grand Line any time soon." Johnny said with a sigh.
"It was all you guy's who took out the fishman, we didn't do a thing." Yosaku said with his own disappointed look.
Six looked at the two for a long moment before going to his Pit-Boy. A moment later a stack of papers appeared in his hands. "Here, take this." He said as handed the papers to Johnny.
"What are these?" He asked as Yosaku looked over his shoulder.
Six grinned as he pointed to the stack of papers. "Training methods, the same training methods that I used to learn Soru, Geppo, and Kami-E. There known as the Six Powers, or as Rokushiki." He said getting a shocked look from the two bounty hunters. "I only know those three of the Six powers, but there extremely useful."
Johnny looked over the papers with a shocked expression before turning to Six. "W-why are you giving us this?" Johnny asked while stuttering.
Six walked up to the two and patted them on the shoulder. "You guys showed a lot of guts standing up to the fishman, knowing you would lose. I like that about you guys." He said as he pulled back. "Also say I'm taking a chance, to see if you guys become stronger or not."
The bounty hunters had tears in there eyes before they bowed to Six. "We won't let you down Master!" They shouted at the same time, surprising Six.
"I'd like it if you just call me brother." Six said with a small laugh as he used Geppo to get back onto the ship. "Let's meet again in the future!"
"Yes!" They shouted together.
Six sent them a small salute before walking to the rest of his crew, seeing them argue a bit. "So what are we waiting for?"
Usopp turned to the Courier while his arms were crossed. "Well Nami hasn't shown up yet, and Zoro things she won't since we saved her village."
"Nami will show up!" Sanji shouted with a fiery passion in his eyes.
Six just gave everyone a deadpan look. "Um, don't you guys forget how Nojiko gave us those orange trees to put on the ship, and how Nami asked them to be on here." He said grabbing everyone's attention. "I'm pretty sure that means she's coming with us."
No sooner did Six finish speaking someone spoke.
"Set sail!"
Everyone on the ship turned to the village to see Nami running down the main road in a full sprint.
"She's running over here? What do we do?" Usopp asked with some confusion on his face.
"She said set sail, so I guess we should set sail." Luffy said before everyone got to work getting the ship ready.
It wasn't long before the ship started to move in the water. As the ship moved Nami ran right past the other villagers with her head down as she dodged them when they tried to stop her.
"Hey, you sure you want to let her leave this way?" Sanji asked as he watched Nami.
"It's her goodbye, so let her decide." Luffy said as he also watched.
When Nami reached the end of the dock she leapt an impressive 10 feet before landing on the deck without a problem. All the villagers called after her with slight distress, but it imminently stopped when she lifted her shirt up. As soon as Nami lifted her shirt a bunch of wallets fell to the floor, about 50 of them. Six whistled as the pickpocketing skill as the villagers all panicked.
Looking back Nami sent everyone a grin. "Take care everyone!"
"You rotten little thief!" The whole village yelled at once.
Six gave a small laugh as he heard all the weak insults, knowing the villager's didn't really mean. There was even some yelling for her and everyone to come back soon.
"Hey kid!" Scars yelled from the docks, grabbing Luffy's attention. "Don't forget about our promise!"
Luffy just let out a smile as he sent the man a thumbs-up.
"Goodbye everyone! I'll be off now!" Nami shouted while waving, Six seeing the biggest smile on her face yet.
"Alright everyone, let's go to the Grand Line!" Luffy yelled with his arms stretched out.
"Right!" Everyone said as once, even Stripe let out a growl.
Six turned to the little Deathclaw with a grin on his face. "Look's like we're on a big adventure buddy." He said, getting a happy growl from Stripe.
21N: Another chapter complete! Here's to clarify a few things.
1: Six's fighting style with hand to hand is mostly based around boxing, very little leg moves other then the 'Ranger Takedown' and that funny one. The reason I had this is because if the Courier did have Veronica as a companion I feel he would of ask her to teach him Boxing, since she's so deadly with that. Also I wanted to give Six more special attack moves then just the four unarmed attacks he learned and the Perk moves. So I'm taking a lot of boxing moves from Anime and even real life. If you have any suggestion leave a comment.
2: With Six talking down Mohmoo I thought it was a perfect time for the Courier to show his speech skill. Six will talk down some of the weaker enemies in the story but he can't for the big guys obviously.
3: Someone asked me if I will do shipping and I like to say I will. But let me be clear that shipping and romance will not be major part of the story. There will be chapters on certain couples, but nothing major.
4: For any big fights that happen in this story I won't always have Six take someone's opponent. I may come with some OC enemies, but I will mostly do crossover enemies from other shows, games, and Anime. If you have suggestions please leave something.
5: I plan to have Six hold a bunch of food items from his inventory. Mostly drinkable stuff that I might find interesting like alcohol.
I hope you liked this chapter and the more that are to come!
