After Luffy and Nami were done eating, they walked around and talked. They found a lot about each other like what favorite food they liked, in which Luffy answered meat (obvious) and Nami, tangerines (Luffy thought as much since she had tangerines on her dress.)

Nami had never had this much fun just talking to somebody other than Nojiko and Bellemere. She found out that Luffy was 7 years old (a year younger than her), but he was pretty tough from what he kept telling her, like that he has a punch as strong as a pistol (haha imagine him in his kid form saying that). Luffy found that Nami's dream was to draw a map of the world. She showed him her map of Cocoyashi Village and Luffy was amazed.

They spent the day just hang around having a blast…that was until…

"NAMI!" Luffy looked around to see who was calling his new friend. He saw two old men running towards them. One of them was wearing a brown shirt and shorts with a sword on his left hip. The other looked more like a doctor with a white mustache and wearing sunglasses.

"Genzo? What are you doing here?" asked Nami to the sword wielding man named Genzo. Nami could see the horror in Genzo's face and she started to get worried.

"Nami your coming with us something bad is happening."

"What's happening? Genzo tell me what's wrong?" Genzo replied by picking up the little girl and running away with the doctor following after he caught his breath.

Luffy stood there alone looking towards where they left, eating his meat. He had a confused face on as to why they were in such a hurry. The weather looked fine and the town was quite.

As soon as Luffy turned around to walk back he bumped into something and step back to see what he bumped into…or who.

There standing in front of him stood a very large…fish-man? He had purple skin and his hands and feet had webbing. He was wearing shorts and no shirt except for the coat he was wearing. On his chest was a tattoo of a sun. His face is what interested Luffy. On his neck the fish man had gills like and other fish and a very long nose with sharp ends.

"Huh? You dare to get in my way…little human," said the fish man looking at Luffy with an annoyed face. Luffy looked confused then looked at the man.

"Sorry I bumped into you fish-man," said Luffy. The fish-man flinched with anger building up. He looked to the little human in disgust, eating meat. Then he smirked. He slapped the boy away making Luffy drop his meat and fly towards a building.

Arlong crouched down and picked up the meat and started eating it.

"That will teach you to call me fish-man…human." Said Arlong as he and his fish-men continued towards a hill with a small house and garden, their last place to conquer.

Luffy stood, his hair covering his eyes and his straw hat dangling on his back. His fist clenched with anger.

"No one…no one…takes away…my…MEAT!" screamed out Luffy in rage as he charge at the direction the fish-men had left.

On top of hill. Scene change

"PLEASE DON'T KILL HER!" screamed out Nami and Nojiko, hugging their beat up mother crouching on the ground.

"Nojiko…Nami…go…get away," gasp out Bellemere who was staring at Arlong. He is unbelievably strong thought Bellemere, if I die I want my kid safe.

Bellemere got up and told the doctor (I don't remember his name) to get her children away from here. He accepted taking the screaming and kicking girls with him. Arlong smirked his nasty smirk and pulled out his pistol. He aimed it at the lady standing in front of him and pulled the trigger back, arming it.

"Nojiko…Nami…" said Bellemere. The girls stopped their screaming and kicking. They looked at their adoptive mother with fear and panic. Tears streaming down their eyes for they knew what was about to happen.

"I love you…" smiled Bellemere as Arlong went to pull the trigger.

"ROCKET!" came a scream making Arlong stop and turn. He saw a blur of red and black coming at him at incredible speed.

POW!

Arlong was hit right in the stomach make him spit out spit, completely taking away his air. The incredible force sent him flying across the field, crashing through bushes.

There standing in the spot where the fish-man was standing, was a young boy. The shadow of his hat covering his eyes, his head looking towards the ground. His fists balled up at his sides, shaking.

Everyone was stunned and quite. Bellemere was staring at the boy in shock right in front of her. The others were no different except for one girl.

"Luffy..." gasp out Nami as she recognized the boy who just saved her adoptive mother.

"No one…eats…my…meat…you BASTARD!" screamed out Luffy. His eyes showing anger and rage towards the figure lying on the ground, trying to recover his air. Luffy feels eyes staring at him and turns to see who was staring at him.

"Huh? Nami…what are you doing here?" asked Luffy with a confused face. He didn't noticed there were people already here. "Hey kid…how…how did you do that?" asked Bellemere after she came out of her shock. Luffy turned his head toward the lady who was standing there with a scared look on her face. She had blood coming out of her head. Luffy stared at the woman in bewilderment and looked around to see other people there other than nami. He saw a girl next to nami with blue hair and the other two guys there too with their jaws dropped.

"Huh? what's going on…is there a party?" luffy screamed with stars in his eyes at the thought of a party with meat. Nami face palmed along with everybody else.

"Oi! Gaki!" luffy turned to the fishman that he had just sent flying. Arlong was facing Luffy with murder. Blood coming out of his mouth. He wiped the blood away and licked it.

"Damn brat!" screamed arlong as he pulled the trigger at luffy and fired. Luffy took the bullet and stumble a bit back.

"LUFFY!/KID!" screamed nami and the others. Nami was on the verge of tears at seeing her new friend get shot.

Then luffy doubled over and shot Nami saw that his back was stretched. Luffy pulled back and ricochet the bullet back. The bullet went flying towards Arlong scratching his cheek as it went by. Nami stood shocked, eyes wide like dinner plates at what just happened.

"Hey! That scared me!" screamed luffy at arlong. He stretched his arms till they grabbed branches of the tangerine bushes. He launched himself towards arlong hitting him in the stomach again as they went sailing towards the port.

Nami stood their shocked at luffy. How…what happened? Thought nami still staring towards the direction luffy and arlong flew. Once she got out of her shock she ran towards their direction.

"Nami!" yelled bellemere to nami. She saw nami run towards where that boy and arlong flew.

Nami kept running too luffy.

Please be okay luffy…please
