Hiccup, Ragnar and Tuffnut were enjoying a peaceful meal out on the open sea, completely unaware of the events that were transpiring at Arlong Park. However, they immediately stopped eating when they heard a strange noise coming from the side of their ship.

"What was that?" Hiccup frowned.

"Sound as if it came from underneath us," said Ragnar making his way to the side. They then immediately heard strange noise again. "There's definitely something below us." That's when they saw a large shadow underneath the water. "It's big."

Then suddenly emerging from the water was a strange -looking sea creature that's head looks an awful lot like a cow.

"What the Hell is that?" Tuffnut cried.

Hiccup got up. "It's a Sea King!"

"I thought those things only exist on the Grand Line," said Ragnar in surprise.

"Then what it doing all the way out here in the East Blue?" Tuffnut asked.

The Sea King's name was in fact Moohoo and it served as an enforcer for Arlong, destroying any enemy ships that would come close to the coast.

"Why is he staring at us?" Hiccup asked.

Moohoo's eyes then turned to the meal they had been eating.

"He once the food," said Tuffnut.

Hiccup sighed. "Why does every single sea monster always think with its stomach?" He then looked at Ragnar. "Better give it what it once."

Ragnar nodded. "Probably just a baby and can't get food for itself just yet." He then immediately grabbed the plate of meat and held out the plate. "Here you go, eat up. Now don't be scared, I won't hit you."

The Sea King looked at him curiously and then opened its largemouth, but a split second later Ragnar kicked it beneath the chin.

Tuffnut stared at him. "Why did you do that?"

"It was going to eat me with the plate, what can I do?" Ragnar shrugged.

Their attacks had only angered the Sea King and it opened its mouth wide.

"I've got this," said Hiccup as he transformed into his human dragon form. He then immediately flew up into the air and then slammed a powerful fist right down on top of its head. "That's that."

The Sea King had already been knocked unconscious and fell back into the sea. With that done Hiccup and Ragnar sat back down at their chairs and continue to eat.

"Right, back to eating," said Hiccup.

"That was refreshing," said Ragnar.

Tuffnut stared at the two of them. "You guys are insane, seriously."


Meanwhile Snotlout had finally regained consciousness and found himself in a house that overlooked tangible orchard.

"Where am I?" he said looking around wildly.

"My house," said a voice behind him. Snotlout turned and saw the woman he had met earlier sitting at a table. "Sleep well?"

"And who are you?" Snotlout asked.

"The name is Astra, I grow tangerines here," she explained. "What one?"

Snotlout then immediately recognised. "That's right, you're the one that hit me on the head! Just when I was going to save you!"

"I'm the one who saved you," Astra corrected as she placed a cup of tea on the table. "If you had actually gone through attacking that Fishman, you would have been killed for sure. Stupid outsider." Snotlout narrowed his eyes and turned and saw that Bard was with them and Astra looked at him. "You would think a kid from here would already know better. What would make a child do something so reckless? That's a question I would really like to answer for."

Bard just stood there shaking you can tell whether it was fear or anger.

"I know," he said grudgingly. "I know, but they killed my daddy. They took everything from me, those Fishmen destroyed our town, killed my friends. I had to make them pay for what they did, no matter what, don't you get that!

"So I went to Arlong Park by myself, but this girl stopped me from going in. She had this big boy with her and he just stood there when she struck me. She's just like an evil witch, I can't stand this, I have prevented my father, I don't care if I die!"

"Then die," said Astra bluntly. Snotlout immediately spat out the tea he had been drinking and looked at her. "If you're truly prepared to die then go, but you had better understand boy. I stopped you and this witch you hate stopped you from carrying out your revenge. So far you have cheated death twice." She then got out of her chair and walked off. "Just finish your tea and go."

"Hey, you're being a little harsh, don't you think?" Snotlout asked.

Astra sighed. "I don't care who he is, if he wants to kill himself then so be it. He doesn't have what it takes to suffer through revenge."

Snotlout looked up. "What?"

"It takes time, I've suffered as well. Revenge is not an easy path for want to carve out and die just because you're too foolish for patients is nothing more than a coward's plan."

Bard burst into tears. "W-what do you want from me? I can't stand the way I feel, but I don't know what else I can do."

"How's your mum?" Astra asked.

"She's alive," he sniffed.

"Then go back home. She's worried about you."

The boy got the tears out of his eyes. "Okay."

Snotlout looked at her and smiled realising she had only said that to make and see sense. Soon Bard left Astra's house and began making his way back to his mother.

"You know for a chick that hits pretty much everyone in sight, you're actually really sweet." Said Snotlout.

"Piss off," she said looking at him. "It's time you told me why you decided to come here to our village."

"Oh, right," Snotlout nodded. "My name is Snotlout, I'm looking for a girl named Astrid and a boy by the name of Fishlegs."

Astra looked up. "Astrid? Fishlegs?"

Snotlout was taken aback. "You know them?"

Astra then began to explain that the two of them were part of Arlong's crew.

"No way! They're part of Arlong's crew?" Snotlout stared.

"It certainly looks like way," Astra nodded. "Everyone knows that cow, Astrid and that collaborator Fishlegs. Even the little boy, it gets better though that cow is my sister, we grew up here and that collaborator was a very close personal friend of ours. Though technically you could call Astrid my adopted sister since we were both orphans, birders sister was a sister you know what I mean?"

Snotlout watched as she made her way towards a picture on the table. It had a picture of a tall woman with long blonde hair and next to her were two girls, she was holding the youngest, who had to be Astrid, in her hands as she smiled broadly.

Snotlout was stunned by this revelation and he began looking around the house. 'I don't believe it, Astrid's house?'

"It's mine too," said Astra as if she was able to read his mind. "We were raised together in this house, she's the closest thing to families I left since our foster mother died. The three others used to be so happy together and Fishlegs often came round to play with us."

Snotlout looked at the table and saw certain markings until they realised they had something to do with navigation. Fishlegs must have edged them into the table when he was younger.

"So you're telling me that Astrid betrayed her mother, her sister and her whole village to become a part of Arlong's crew and Fishlegs joined them also out of cowardice?" Snotlout roared.

"Yeah, pretty much," said Astra as she placed the picture down onto the table. "A real witch, huh?"

"Damn, and to think I was into her," Snotlout muttered. "She and Fishlegs had completely fool the entire time. To think they were just after the treasure for themselves, even after they risk their lives to save my village. I don't understand, the two of them seemed so happy with us."

Astra looked at him. "Yeah, they were happy? My sister."

"We came here to try and convince her and Fishlegs to join back with us, but I guess now that's pointless," Snotlout muttered and then suddenly he remembered Toothless. "I just remember that the ship mate of mine has been taken prisoner by the Fishman before we got here. I just hope he's okay and that they haven't killed him."


Toothless was still in the compound and completely bewildered by the sudden revelation of Astrid and Fishlegs.

"I guess you finally get it," said Astrid looking down at him. "I just used you guys to get what I wanted, you were skilled enough to serve my needs but boy were you guys a bunch of suckers. Especially you're Captain and I think he was going to make me your first-mate."

Arlong laughed. "She had you guys completely fooled. It's no use she's cold-blooded and Fishlegs smart enough to know who the real winners are. The two of them betrayed their families and their village from money so you really shouldn't feel too bad."

Astrid's face then looked furious and I did not go unnoticed by Toothless. He also noticed that Fishlegs has a face of shame and it became clear that the two of them weren't as loyal as they made out to be.

"If I were you I would just admit defeat and tried to forget the day you met them," Arlong advised.

"I don't need to," said Toothless and Astrid and Fishlegs stared at him. "To be perfectly honest I didn't trust them to begin with. If Astrid turned out to be a serial killer I wouldn't be surprised."

"Then why don't you get the hell out of here? I'm getting sick and tired of your face," said Astrid.

Toothless smiled and then suddenly to everyone's surprise he jumped into the water.

"Hey, does anyone know why that guy just jumped into the water?"

"It looks like he was just trying to get away from Astrid."

"I don't blame him, she can be really mean sometimes."

"Maybe he's trying to escape and he thought he could swim out of here."

"With his arms and legs tied up? I've got to say that looks more like a suicided temp to me."

"Leave him," said Arlong.

Astrid and Fishlegs just stood there perplexed and the two of them just watched as the bubbles emerge from the water.

"What an asshole, now we don't get to kill him."

"I thought he would have more self-respect than to do that."

"Seriously, life is a precious thing."

The Fishmen just kept on laughing and then suddenly Astrid dashed towards the water taking off her shoes.

'That idiot!' she yelled to herself.

She then dived into the water much to everyone's surprise, they all waited and soon Astrid emerged from the water dragging Toothless onto dry land.

"They're back up."

"She saved him?"

Astrid looked at him. "What do you think you're doing?"

Toothless coughed out some water. "No, would you think you're doing?" He then turned around and smiled. "You are really just a nice girl that can't watch one guy die. Why don't you quit pretending?"

Astrid then realised that this had just been a test, he had risked his entire life to see if she really was one of them. She just couldn't believe that he risked his own life on her.

"Next time you might want to be a little quicker," Toothless smiled.

"You bastard!" Astrid yelled and stomped on him. She then picked him up and glared at him. "Try that again and I'll make sure you die."

"Really?" Toothless laughed.

Astrid then noticed the bandages. "That's a lot of bandages, you must have been hurt pretty bad."

"Oh this, it's just a scratch," he smiled. "If you think that your Fishmen buddies over here did that, you're mistaken."

Astrid then punched him hard in the gut knocking the wind out of him. She then walked off and joined Fishlegs.

"Tell me what should we do with this guy?" Arlong asked.

"Lock him up," said Astrid as she and Fishlegs walked past him. "We'll take care of him when we have the time."

A Fishman, the same one that had been chasing Snotlout, then enter the compound.

"Arlong! Hey, Arlong!" he said as he rushed in.

"Yeah," he said looking at him. "Well, spit it out. What is it?"

"Yes, sir," he nodded. He then gestured towards Toothless. "This guy over here didn't come alone, there was another snobbish looking guy with him, but he got away."

Astrid and Fishlegs looked at one another realising that he was talking about Snotlout.

Toothless frowned. 'Not good, I had hoped that he and Ruffnut to get to the island without getting spotted.'

"I-I think that he escaped to Leefside Village."

Arlong frowned. "Leefside, huh? That's perfect, now I have two reasons to go. It's time to go and have some fun."

Astrid clenched her fist and Fishlegs just merely looked away.


At Leefside Village many of the citizens had gathered around the constable in charge of law-enforcement on the island. He was a stern looking man with very deep scars running across his body, looked as if he had been in a war or something.

"Hey, Arlong is coming!" said a villager.

"He is? But why? We just paid in this month's tribute, didn't we?"

"It's probably about my weapons cache they found," said the constable. "Everyone go home."

All the villages looked at him in fear.

"Goodwin?"

"They're here."

Arlong was making his way down the street with a dozen of his men, almost the entire village was hiding inside their houses and watching out the windows as they walked past. Arlong then approached Goodwin, he was just sitting down calmly.

"So you're the fool, you thought he could hold weapons on my island," he said.

Goodwin looked at him. "That's me, I am the constable. You can't expect me to do my job without a few weapons or is there a new law that I was not aware of?"

"Oh, I'm fine with you humans having a weapon or two laying around, not like you can do much with them, but you had over a dozen of them," said Arlong looking down at him. "That makes it very difficult for me and my men to keep the peace."

Watching from behind a few houses was Astra and Snotlout.

"So that's him, Alrong," said Snotlout looking at Astra. "That guy is gigantic, he's not even human."

Astra rolled her eyes. "Of course he is not human, he's a Fishman."

Arlong was still talking to Goodwin. "I'm responsible for 20 towns and villages, including this one. And as your leader I cannot tolerate even a little rebelliousness. Wiping out Longdale was just a small example on what can happen if you don't do as you are told. Tribute money must be paid no matter what."

Snotlout looked up. "Tribute money?"

"It's just as it sounds like, money we pay him so that we can stay alive," said Astra. "Adults and children, if there is a single person that can't pay then what happened to Longdale, will happen to everyone in this village as well. Our town and the people in it will be wiped from existence."

Snotlout eyes widened as he remembered the destruction of Longdale. "He destroyed in an entire town, because of one person?"

"That's how Alrong rules, to them we are nothing more than a subspecies so killing us has always been easy."

"You pathetic humans need to stop all this thinking you're up to," Arlong snarled. "It's your greatest weakness. I am allowing you to contribute to greatness here soon Fishmen will conquer the humans and your tributes will be a small part for the beginning of the glorious Arlong Empire."

Snotlout just stared. "Arlong Empire? They're planning on taking over the entire East Blue."


Meanwhile at the compound, Toothless was now in the deepest darkest dungeon and was still tied up. He had tested Astrid to see if everything they said was true, but clearly the truth was far more complicated.

The door then opened and Toothless looked up to see Astrid and Fishlegs entering his cell. Astrid had a knife in her hand, she then approached him and began to cut the ropes around his wrists and ankles.

Fishlegs looked at Toothless. "You need to get out of here. Arlong is going to be back very soon."

Without the two of them exited the cell and Astrid tossed his sword to the ground.


Meanwhile at Leefside, Arlong was making example out of Goodwin and now had his hand around his throat.

"Goodwin," Astra gasped.

"The possession of weapons is a clear affront to my authority," said Arlong. "As an example to any other would-be rebels in this town, I'm going to kill you right now so that they can see the fate that awaits them."

Snotlout eyes widened. "No way, that guy is insane. He would just kill someone for just having weapons?"

"I won't let him," said Astra and immediately dashed out of her hiding place.

"Don't go out there!" Snotlout yelled.

Astra ignored him and immediately rushed towards Arlong and his cronies.

"You have absolutely no right to do this Arlong!" Astra yelled. Arlong turned his head and looked at her. "We have paid your tribute without fail for over eight years why would we want to rebel against you now? Just think about it, it doesn't make no sense! Now take your hands off Goodwin!"

Immediately the other villages began to open their doors and made their way outside.

"Yeah, it's not like he used the weapons!"

"That's right, let him go!"

"Yeah, let Goodwin go!"

"Hoarding weapons shows that he was planning a rebellion against me," said Arlong bluntly. "But on the other hand I could destroy you all at least try and protect your friends so that you won't give me an excuse to do that. Either way it's fine, but rebellions will not be tolerated."

Goodwin looked at everyone. "Everybody just go home. You want to waste all our work for the past eight years, for what? The time for you to give your lives to this village was back when they first came, now we must continue to be patient. The most important thing is that we continue to live, we swore that we will not allow them to defeat so long as we're alive."

Villages just stood there and clearly they were reluctant to allow him to die.

"Goodwin," said Astra.

"No," said a villager.

Arlong then lifted Goodwin into the air. "Well said, I agree with you. It's good to know that you are disgusting insects like you enjoy being alive!"

He then slammed Goodwin into the ground so hard that he spat out some blood.

"Oh no," said Astra.

"There is no way any of you will come anywhere close to the perfection of the Fishmen!" Arlong laughed.

"Damn you!" a villager yelled.

"Don't move!" Goodwin yelled. "He wants you to attack."

"We can't just stand here!"

Goodwin looked at him and held out his hand telling him to stop. "Your deaths will mean nothing, you must continue to be patient. Even if I die."

"That's a good ending for you," said Arlong as he lifted him up and held him above his head. "Pay attention humans! This is what happened to those who define me! Even if it happens all inside their tiny heads!"

Arlong then began to flow into the ground so hard it would have split his skull, but then suddenly from out of nowhere a large log struck him in the face. This stopped his momentum and Goodwin survived the crash.

"What was that?" said a Fishman.

They then immediately looked around wondering who had thrown the log, that's when they looked at one of the nearby buildings.

"Over there! Look! There's someone on the roof!"

They all turned and saw standing there was Snotlout with his arms crossing his chest looking at them defiantly.

"Who the hell is that guy?"

"The name is Snotlout!" Snotlout yelled.

Astra just stared at him. "Snotlout?"

Snotlout looked down at the Fishman. "You can't go around blaming the villages for this one, I'm not even from this island. You guys really that you're so tough, but your leader just got knocked off his feet by a lonely human."

The chubby Fishman from earlier recognised him. "That's the guy I told you about! The one with the snobbish look that got away!"

Arlong got to his feet and was looking furious. "You might have knocked me down, but you lack the strength to kill me you pathetic human!"

Snotlout narrowed his eyes. 'I knew that wasn't enough to kill him and now I've just made him angry.'

"Repulsive human what can a creature like you do to me?" Arlong roared.

Arlong then made his way over towards the building and began to lift it into the air with unbelievable strength. The Fishman looked at them frantically, because it looked as if he had lost control completely.

"Arlong, hold on just a second!"

"After losing Longdale, we can't afford on killing any more tribute money!"

"Villages are fun to destroy, but ruling over them makes more money!"

"If we lose some we can always get more!" Arlong roared ignoring their pleas completely. "Fishmen must reign supreme!"

Then with all his strength he smashed the house into the house opposite and both of them were destroyed instantly.

"He's destroying it all."

Astra looked horrified. "Snotlout."

Snotlout had managed to survive, but barely. "That was close."

"He's not dead yet!"

"Get him!"

Snotlout then immediately jumped off the building began running for it as quickly as he could sum of the Fishman began to chase after him.

"Catch him and tearing apart!" Arlong roared.

Many of his men immediately grabbed him and began pulling him back.

"Let's go back to Arlong Park before he destroys everything."

"Yeah, I'm with you."

They then began to carry him away out of the village, but he was still yelling like a madman.

"Don't let him get away! Who does that insect think he is!"

One of the Fishman, who was quite muscular and had large fins on his forearms looked at the villages, he bore some resemblance to a manta ray. His name was Seablade.

"We'll, be back," he promised. "You can all live for now."

The village doctor then immediately grabbed Goodwin and helped him up.


After they were gone the doctor immediately began to tend to his wounds and the entire village stood there.

"I'm so sorry everybody," said Goodwin apologetically. "This has all been my fault."

"What are you talking about," said the doctor. "You're not a Fishman, are you?"

"Yeah," everyone nodded.

"But who was that guy who attacked?"

"Hello everyone, it's good to be back home," said a new voice.

Immediately they all turned and saw Astrid and Fishlegs approaching them.

Astra stared at them. "Astrid? Fishlegs?"

Immediately the villagers looked at the two of them with disdain and immediately walked off, giving the two of them the cold shoulder.

"So much for a warm welcome," said Fishlegs looking at Astrid.

"Were collaborating with the people that caused the no end of grief, I wasn't exactly expecting roses," Astrid pointed out.

Astra looked at the two of them. "What's wrong? You guys never come waltzing into Leefside anymore."

"We heard the commotion," said Astrid then she looked at a few of the destroyed buildings. "Alrong, huh?"

"Though I'm surprised that he didn't destroy the entire village," said Fishlegs.

Everyone just remain completely silent mostly because they weren't sure what had just happened.


A few moments later Astrid was sitting down in front of a grave marker and she had already placed a bouquet of flowers upon it.

"We only have to get 7 million more Gil," said Astrid.

"Your bad reputation just keeps on getting worse," said Astra from behind a tree.

"That's fine, we're pirates after all," Astrid pointed out.

Fishlegs just looked down at the ground. "I just wish that my family would look me with such disdain in their eyes."

"But let's just be grateful that Arlong can be reasonable guy when he wants to," Astrid pointed out. "We just need a little more money to finish our agreement. We're just 7 million Gil shy from the 100 million Gil. It's not too high a price considering it's going to buy back our village."

Astrid just smiled as she looked out to the open sea and Fishlegs stood next to her smiling as well.


However, unbeknownst to anyone, Toothless was still in the compound and he had taken down every single Fishman without even breaking a sweat.

"They tell me to run, but I've got nowhere else to go, but here," said Toothless as he leaned back on Arlong's deckchair. "Besides I promised Hiccup that I would bring those two back with me. I just so that he gets here soon, because things are getting messier by the minute."


Hiccup, Ragnar and Tuffnut were approaching the island and they were using Moohoo to cut the time to get there in half.

"There it is!" Tuffnut pointed towards the land that came into the horizon. "Arlong Park is dead ahead!"

"Then let's pay Arlong a visit," said Hiccup.
