Welcome to the sixth chapter of Death's Gift! WOOO! Hey, I have a special piece of information for you! I've finished Chapter 20 which covers Impel Down and Marineford! So we're on our way to the two year training session where I can possibly start doing adorable fluff with Luffy acting differently with his two brothers. To warn you guys, because of things that happen in Enies Lobby and what happens prior to reaching Thriller Bark, Thriller Bark is not an entire chapter but half. Because of those things that happen, Luffy doesn't have time to be fooling around with Moriah. Because of this, Sabaody Archipelago is skipped and the Thriller Bark chapter is Thriller Bark/Amazon Lily. I thought I should warn you. Also because Impel Down, even though it's heart-racing, is my least favorite arc it's rather short and fast-paced. Anyways! I hope you guys enjoy this chapter! Er P.S. not sure if you'll appreciate this but hey! I finally managed to evolve my Mirage Tempo Nami into a Thunderbolt Tempo Nami on OP Treasure Cruise…. I still want an Ace damnit.

Disclaimer: Don't own HP or OP. But I do own that Thunderbolt Tempo Nami that's on my crew in OP Treasure Cruise.

Death's Gift to His Master

The two week trip that it took to get to Cocoyashi Village was filled with a lot of training, specifically for Sanji. The reason being that he had to learn how to control his transformation into steel, as not to randomly turn into steel when he didn't need to. For example, they've already had to repair the deck because Sanji jumped off the stairs and immediately turned to steel, crashing through it. Of course despite the fact that they were having Sanji train a lot more than everyone else he had it much easier than Alvida and Nami did. Alvida for the fact that she would slip and fall if she didn't have shoes on and anything she'd grab would slip out of her hands making it hard for her to eat at first. Nami however on the other hand had a much different problem.

Since she was a Logia-type she would have moments where she lost control of part of her body and it'd turn into differing types of clouds. That made it especially irritating for her because she'd be eating then all of a sudden her hand turns into a rain cloud and soaks her food. She trained especially hard that day, frustrated that she couldn't eat. On top of that, Logia users generally had a harder time getting checkups from doctors. The main reason being that a Logia-type user instinctively will turn into their element if they feel they're going to get hurt. It got to the point that they had to numb the part that they were going to draw blood from and have her look away so they get her blood work done.

Besides training his Paramecia powers Luffy had Sanji training in something else catered just for him. Beating the gentlemen out of him. Sanji was an unrepentant womanizer to the point that he wouldn't fight a woman. Of course that wasn't to say that he thought women incapable, it's just the way he was raised was to not hit a woman. So what Luffy did was set him up to spar for long periods of time against Alvida. Why Alvida instead of Nami? Well, Alvida's looks distracted Sanji more than Nami's. Although, that may have to do with the fact that Alvida purposefully chose the tightest outfit she could find so that she wouldn't slip out of it and to enhance her beauty. Nami on the other hand had no reason to wear tight outfits, primarily because her penny pinching prevented that. Let it not be said that Nami didn't know how to save Belly.

Anyways it was safe to say by the time they actually reached the Conomi Islands where Cocoyashi Village was Sanji no longer was hesitant to kick a woman. Although he still flirted with every single woman, which was a point of contention between him and Zoro who seemed to get irritated every time Sanji did so. Luffy believed there was something there but it wasn't the biggest problem at the time so Luffy let them be.

"Hey Luffy, I'm actually dropping us off at Gosa Village." Nami said with her hands on the wheel.

"Why's that?" Luffy said, sitting on the railing eating a snack that Sanji had prepared for all of the crew.

"Well, Cocoyashi Village is actually really close to Arlong Park and if they see the ships then they'd attack us right away. I'm pretty sure you don't want to fight Fishmen on their home turf." Nami said.

Luffy winced at that. He really didn't want to do that. He occasionally got a letter from his brother, Ace, and in one of them he talked about how he sparred with the Fishman of Whitebeard's crew and got wrecked when the man got in the water.

"Alright then, take the detour. I don't want any unnecessary casualties." Luffy said.

"Okay, everyone we're heading to Gosa Village instead." Nami said, speaking through a special Den Den Mushi that Luffy hooked up that allowed instantaneous conversation between the helmsmen.

"I still don't know how you made those Luffy." Nami said.

"I told you before, magic." Luffy said, with a laugh.

"I get that, you've explained that to all us Commanders but how does your magic work?" Nami asked.

"Well, do you want the simple answer or the long answer?" Luffy asked.

"Long answer, we've got the time." Nami said, looking attentive.

"Well, how magic works is it uses the energies in the world to create an effect that normally would go against the laws of nature. In fact, Devil Fruit work in the exact same way. But, the thing is to create a spell it requires math." Luffy started.

"Math? Something like magic requires math?" Nami asked, not believing it.

"Alright then, since I know you understand more than enough math I'll show you the basis of one spell." Luffy said before pulling out the Elder Wand.

Using the spell that Voldemort used in his second year he started creating flaming numbers in the air. At first to Nami it seemed like it was a bunch of random calculus equations. But then she looked forward and saw a pattern.

"… The numbers seven, three, and thirteen keep repeating." Nami said.

"That's a great eye there. Yeah, in magic there are magical numbers. Seven and three are powerful numbers used to enhance a spell, now tell me what is known about the number thirteen?" Luffy asked.

"It's a prime number?" She asked, not sure.

"Don't think logically think superstitiously. Magic works usually on the beliefs of people." Luffy said.

"Ah, it's an unlucky number." Nami said.

"Yes so back to the equations, what are they?" Luffy asked.

Nami took a second look at the equations before realizing in shock.

"They're all equations for finding out acceleration due to gravity and weight." Nami said.

"Yep, now think real hard about what throwing thirteen in there would do." Luffy said.

"Let's see…. If they're all equations for gravity and weight and thirteen is considered universally a sign for bad luck then… this is a spell for levitating something or reversing gravity?" She asked, smiling when she saw the approval on Luffy's face.

"Ding! Ding! We have a winner! This spell is called Wingardium Leviosa and it allows one to levitate anything without any regards to weight or gravity." Luffy said.

"Wow! So I guess there is a logic based application for magic." Nami said thoughtfully.

"Yeah, it's called Arithmancy. Arithmancy is the art of using formula and magic to either divine the future to a point using probability, unfolding a spell, or create a new one." Luffy said.

"Wait, divine the future?" Nami asked.

"To a point, you can't completely divine a large event because probability doesn't really work like that. What it lets you do is predict the weather even further to even months down the road or predict the likeability of somebody doing something. Like give me a second." Luffy said.

Suddenly Luffy was generating new numbers in the air before he vanished them all.

"There's a ninety eight percent chance that Sanji's going to come out of the kitchen with a dish especially made for you and it made with tangerines and chicken." Luffy said.

"Wa-" Nami said before they heard a door open.

Sure enough it was Sanji and in his hand was a chicken dish flavored with tangerines. Sanji walked up to Nami and bowed while keeping the dish upwright.

"Nami-swan I have prepared a dish for you, it is-" Sanji started.

"A chicken dish made with tangerines?" Nami asked.

"H-how did you know?" Sanji asked a bit shocked.

"Nevermind that, thank you Sanji." Nami said, taking the dish, Sanji leaving afterwords.

"How?! Normal probability doesn't let you predict things to a point like that." Nami asked.

"Well, short explanation, it's magic. Long explanation is that when dealing with the probability magic helps nudge along the more specific details of what could happen. It uses what the person knows about the person they're predicting and suggests the most likely things." Luffy said.

"That's… really neat. Wow, look at that we're here." Nami said as they pulled into the port.

However, they were shocked when they saw what happened to the village. Every house was flipped upside down and there was a giant gorge in the middle of the village.

"Arlong must have been here." Nami said with a sigh.

"Hey, sis, wanna see that spell I showed you?" Luffy asked before pointing the wand at the houses.

"Wingardium Leviosa Maxima" Luffy intoned.

Instantly the ground shuddered before all the houses lifted up into the air and were placed back on their right side. All the Commanders were utterly shocked at the display.

"… That was really cool." Usopp said, with everyone else nodding.

"I'm not done here. Terra Reformis." Luffy said, waving the wand.

Following the gesture the ground shuddered again before it began to straighten out and repair itself. About a minute later the ground was as perfect as it probably was before the disaster. Luffy then began to walk into a house, gesturing for them to come on, leaving Gin on the ship to watch over the crew.

"I'm going to be repairing each of the houses so the citizens can return, I need you guys to help put everything back where it should be." Luffy said, before casting Reparo at the broken objects.

So the Commanders and Luffy did this for the next hour, taking breaks with Sanji preparing them food and drinks. When they were done it looked as if the entire village hadn't been touched by Arlong. Suddenly though there were people coming into the village, led by a small boy.

"It was them Nojiko-san! They repaired the village!" The boy shouted to an orange haired woman with a lot of tattoos on her right arm.

"Sis?" Nami asked, before rushing forward, hugging the woman that the boy was talking to.

"Hey there sis! Are you back from your thieving? Hm.. Who are these people?" Nojiko asked.

Nami smiled and spun before gesturing with her arm to Luffy and the Commanders.

"Meet my new family, my new crew sis!" Nami said.

Nojiko seemed to be shocked but soon quickly smiled.

"Well, it's a pleasure to meet you. I haven't seen Nami this happy in a long time. But what about Arlong Nami?" Nojiko asked.

"Ah, well Luffy said he'd help." Nami said, before everyone turned to look at Luffy.

"Well, for Nami from here on out the Conomi Islands are under protection by the Straw Hat Armada. Our first act of business as such is the complete and utter removal and destruction of the Arlong Pirates." Luffy said with a smile.

That proclamation seemed to cause the villagers to cheer and rush the pirates, repeatedly thanking them for saving them and repairing their village. Luffy then had Sanji distribute some food as well as seeds for them to get back on their feet. They had a lot of food after all since Luffy seemed to eat a lot.

Before they left Luffy saw Nami talking to a man who seemed to have a pinwheel on his hat. On their way to Cocoyashi Village and then to Arlong Park Nami explained that the men was named Genzo who she and Nojiko saw as a father figure. When they reached Cocoyashi Village, the few crew members that had followed them went to where Nami said the tattoo parlor was so they could see if it was any good. From there they stopped at Nojiko's house so they could go over the plan.

"Alright, so let's each say what we're doing in the plan, you first Usopp." Luffy said.

"Ah, right! I'm to sneak around and hide myself in the trees overlooking the compound and snipe whatever ones I can when the commotion starts." Usopp said.

Luffy then gestured to Kaya.

"Oh! I'm to sneak around and steal whatever I can using this nifty bag you got me!" She said with a smile, patting her tiny bag that was enchanted with an undetectable expansion charm.

"Alvida?" Luffy asked.

"Right, me and Sanji are going to sneak inside and wait for the commotion to start and then take out any stragglers to prevent them from getting in." She said.

"Nami?" Luffy said next.

"Mhm. I'm to take you and Zoro as 'prisoners' to Arlong where you will get out of the cuffs you created for you and Zoro and attack Arlong." Nami said.

"Where I will be getting rid of anyone who manages to get into the room." Zoro said.

"Alright, let's go." Luffy said.

Before the left for Arlong Park though, Nami dug up her chest of ninety three million belly and had Kaya store it in her bag. From there they separated. Alvida, Kaya, Usopp, and Sanji made their way into the forest and Zoro and Luffy put on the handcuffs. Nami then led the two to Arlong Park where the door to the area suddenly opened.

"Hey! It's Nami!" One of the Fishmen said.

"Hey, have you betrayed anyone today?" Another asked.

Luffy could see Nami's temper waning but she then suddenly steeled her expression and smile.

"Nope, but I do have two prisoners to bring to Arlong." Nami said.

"Oh, who are they?" A Fishman asked.

"Oh just two idiots who tried to incite a rebellion among the villagers. Thought Arlong would want to handle them." Nami said.

"Haha, idiots! Alright go on ahead, you know where Arlong is." The Fishman said.

Arlong Park was an interesting looking location. To Luffy it seemed like a lot of the structure of the place seemed to be human-based rather than Fishman-based. For a bunch of people who hated humans it seemed quite odd that they would use human architecture. Especially since according Nami, Arlong believed that Fishmen could do anything better than a human could. The area was surrounded by white walls that had sentry posts dotted across it. On one of the sentry posts though Luffy could see a dead Fishman and Usopp set up with his rifle. In the center of the area was a giant pool that was more than likely connected to the ocean outside the park and dotted around the area were bushes. In two different bushes Luffy saw Alvida and Sanji hiding, waiting for the signal.

The place that Nami was directing them to was a giant pagoda-style building that screamed ego. According to her the room that she was locked up in a lot to write navigation maps was on the top floor. Soon enough they entered Arlong's throne room where Arlong himself was sitting. On the side wall though Luffy spotted a long pole that had long jagged edges like shark teeth and had a guard like a katana.

"Oh, Nami you're back. How was your trip away for my favorite Navigator?" Arlong asked.

"Interesting, I have some people who want to see you." Nami said.

"Oh really? Who are these two?" Arlong asked.

"My name is Monkey D. Luffy and I'm here to kill you." Luffy said before breaking the flimsy handcuffs and throwing a Gomu Gomu Pistol at Arlong, sending him flying into the wall, shocking all the Fishmen there.

"B-Boss! He's gone too far!" One of the fishmen, an octopus-type yelled.

The fishman tried to attack Luffy but Zoro stopped him with his three swords.

"I got these small fries. You deal with the bane of our sister." Zoro said.

"Hey! Don't leave me out. I still have some anger to work out on them." Nami said, bringing out her bo-staff as she and Zoro engaged the enemies.

"Well, it looks like it's me and you Arlong." Luffy said, sliding into a ready stance.

"I guess it is brat. I'm not going to let you take my Navigator. She's better than any fishman!" Arlong said before he ran forward to punch at Luffy.

The two began trading blows as the background was filled with the sound of metal hitting flesh and metal hitting metal as well as in the far distance screams of panic.

"What did you do?!" Arlong growled as he threw a punch.

"Oh, my friends are taking care of your men outside so it can be just me and you." Luffy said, dodging it with Haki.

"How. Are. You. Dodging!" Arlong said, getting madder and madder as Luffy dodged each of the strikes.

"Ooh looks like someone's getting mad. Maybe I'm just better than you?" Luffy said, punching Arlong in the face.

"Argh! That's it!" Arlong yelled before running to the wall and grabbing the sharp weapon Luffy saw earlier.

"Ooh! That's boss' Kiribachi! He's totally going to win now!" Said the octopus who was fighting Zoro.

"Ah shut up and fight or you're going to be too easy to kill!" Zoro yelled, almost cutting off one of the octopus' arms.

Back with Luffy he was dodging the man's wild strikes with the sharp weapon. Of course with the weapon's long range Luffy was still getting small cuts from it. Getting tired of dodging Luffy swung back his arms, it stretching from his rubber-like qualities, before he let it fling forward from the momentum.

"Gomu Gomu Bazooka!" Luffy yelled, striking the weapon.

Arlong's eyes went wide when the Kiribachi shattered upon impact.

"How?!" Arlong yelled.

"Oh, Arlong have you never taken a physics class? The more momentum an object has the more power being it." Luffy said.

"Argh!" Arlong growled before dashing out of the room, where Luffy followed.

Luffy sighed when he saw Arlong jump into the water. He then nodded at Nami who nodded back as well.

"Haha you can't beat me now that I'm in my natural terrain!" Arlong yelled.

Arlong then swam around, gaining speed before he flew out of the water and flung himself, sharp nose first at Luffy.

"Shark Dart!" Arlong yelled.

Luffy quickly managed to throw up a Protego to block it. Luffy was close because Arlong managed to penetrate a lot of the shield, his nose being inches from Luffy's face.

"You know I feel like there's a dart game joke somewhere in here." Luffy muttered before using the Elder Wand to cast a Depulso, knocking Arlong back into the water.

"You idiot! What's the point of knocking me into the water?" Arlong laughed.

"That's the point." Luffy said, pointing at the sky where there was suddenly a giant thunderstorm.

"Now Nami!" Luffy yelled.

"Aye, Aye, brother! Åskväder dans!" She yelled, swinging her staff down.

"NO!" Arlong yelled, trying to escape, before lightning came striking down as if an angry god was smiting him from the thunderclouds.

When the thunderstorm cleared as well as the water from the resulting explosion it revealed a very hurt and unconscious Arlong floating on top of the water. That immediately caused the remaining Fishmen that were alive, as there were a lot of dead bodies around them, to panic.

"Ah! Don't kill us please!" the octopus yelled, along with some of the other Fishmen.

"Well, what's your name?" Luffy asked the octopus.

"Hatchan, but most call me Hachi… er sir." Hachi said.

"Well, your friends have two choices. You can either leave and never come back or join my crew." Luffy said.

"W-wait join your crew? I'd figured you'd hate Fishmen." Hachi said.

"Nah, we only hated Arlong. Plus if you join our crew you become part of our family." Luffy said.

"W-would I be able to start my own takoyaki stand? It's been my dream." Hachi asked tentatively.

"Why now? That's why we all became pirates, to achieve our dreams. We'd even help you." Luffy said.

"Alright! I'll definitely join you." Hachi said.

That actually did it with the rest of the Fishmen who agreed to join. It seemed that they were waiting on Hachi's opinion before deciding. So, with that Luffy had gained fifteen new crew members, including Hachi. Hachi however, asked if he could make his way over to Fishman Island to start his business. Luffy agreed and gave him a waterproof Den Den Mushi and told him to make weekly reports. Luffy then looked at Arlong's unconscious body and sighed.

"What's up Cap'n?" Alvida asked.

"Hachi wait up." Luffy said.

Hachi stopped from where he was turning to jump into the water and looked questioningly. Luffy reached into the pouch he always carried and pulled out two vials and walked over to Arlong.

"What are you doing?" Nami asked.

"I'm giving him a second chance." Luffy said.

Instantly Nami was furious at him for that.

"Why?! You saw what he did to my village! Why does he deserve a second chance?!" She shouted.

Luffy sighed before giving her a look.

"We're pirates but we're not cruel. Arlong's circumstances were primarily because of the evil deeds of the Celestial Dragons. This time around he can be raised correctly." Luffy said.

"Raised correctly? What do you mean?" Hachi asked, confused.

Luffy knelt down and pulled Arlong's body to the surface. Uncorking two bottles he poured them into his mouth and made him swallow it. It worked rather instantly, Arlong's body began to shrink until he was the size of a two year-old.

"What did you do?" Kaya asked, curious about the potions.

"The first one was a de-aging potion. This kind of potion only really works once because otherwise you'd be able to live forever. It made him about two years old. The second one is a memory eraser. I've wiped all his memories up to until he was two. It'll be up to you Hachi to raise him kindly this time." Luffy said, handing the now sleeping and fully healed two year old Arlong to Hachi.

Hachi gave him a curious look but accepted the bundle of baby fishman and nodded. He then turned to the open waters and dove in, making sure not to jostle the sleeping child. Nami stared at Luffy for a few minutes before sighing.

"Fine, I guess I understand. I don't like it but I understand." She said.

From there they made their way to Cocoyashi Village where surprisingly everyone was waiting eagerly.

"Arlong's gone everyone!" Nami yelled, causing the villagers to break out into cheers.

About thirty minutes later you could see everyone partying all over the village with food and drinks served by Sanji and his cooks. Of course, Sanji was spending that time flirting with any woman that he found, which seemed to be pissing of Zoro. That flirting led to Sanji being punched a lot or receiving compliments. Surprisingly he didn't drop any food when he got punched.

Also, during the party was when Kaya revealed what treasure she got from Arlong Park. The first thing she pulled out was a bunch of navigation maps.

"I figured you'd want to burn these." Kaya said.

Everyone then watched as Nami burned all the maps with glee. Following that Kaya began bringing out chests, making sure to leave Nami's in there.

"From what I counted there's like three hundred fifty million belly in there. I'm assuming that that's from the taxes that Nami said he collected from you?" Kaya asked.

"Y-yes but there should be more." Nojiko said.

"He probably spent a lot of it, well Nami wants to apparently give it all back to the village." Kaya said.

"No! You have to at least take a hundred fifty for saving our village! We can do perfectly well on two hundred for ages." Nojiko said, the villagers nodding In agreement.

"T-thanks guys." Nami said with a smile.

With that Kaya put the hundred and fifty they said they could have back in the bag. She then began pulling out random items. The first one was an hourglass like item but instead the middle was round and there was a needle in it. At the base was the words 'Fishman Island'.

"I don't know what this is but this looks like a compass of some sorts?" Kaya said.

"I know what that is." Luffy said.

"Really?" Kaya asked, interested.

"Yeah, it's an Eternal Log Pose. Shanks told me about these." Luffy said.

"What's an Eternal Log Pose?" Nami asked, now interested.

"Ah, well first you have to understand what a regular Log Pose is. A Log Pose is an item used in the Grand Line to navigate from island to island. This is because a normal compass gets messed up from each island's individual magnetic field." Luffy said.

"So we'll need a Log Pose before we can even think of navigating the Grand Line?" Nami asked.

"Yeah, we should be able to get one in Loguetown. I want to stop there anyways to see the execution stand, and we have to pick up the bounty. Anyways an Eternal Log Pose is a bit different. It's attuned to a single island permanently unlike the Log Pose which changes after being on an island for a while. This one's attuned to the Fishman homeland, Fishman Island." Luffy said.

"That's weird, shouldn't the Fishmen know how to get to their own island?" Usopp asked.

"Ah, Arlong had gotten that from when he was in the Sun Pirates. Each of the members had one to feel like they each had a bit of home with them." One of the fishmen that joined Luffy said.

"I guess that makes sense." Nami said.

The other things that Kaya brought out of her bag were various swords and weapons as well as supplies. The villagers decided to split up the items and give half of the swords and weapons to Luffy and crew, as there were more weapons than there were villagers that could actually use them, and a fourth of the supplies to Luffy. That was all that Kaya had found other than clothing which there was really no use for. So, from there they partied on till morning.

Luffy and gang had decided to stay in port for about two weeks so they could all get their tattoos done. After that was done both the tattoo parlor and the crew were very happy. Each of the Commanders, and the one Vice-Commander proudly had their tattoo on their back. Nami of course got another tattoo as well to go over her Arlong Pirates tattoo. It was a tangerine with a windmill to remember her sister and her father figure. Of course, before they left Gin approached the Commanders with ten crew members of differing divisions.

"Cap'n why is Gin here with these men?" Alvida asked.

"Shishishi. I asked him to test the crew members and find the eight strongest fighters and the two strongest healers to stay behind after left so they could watch over the village." Luffy said.

"Yep, and I found them. They're really good and have their Observation Haki down good enough for anything they'd encounter in the East Blue. Plus their fighting skills are really top notch." Gin said.

"Alright, perfect." Luffy said with a smile.

From there Luffy handed them a special Den Den Mushi that could do long range communications and couldn't be tapped that he had enchanted using magic and runes. It would work for now until he finished his idea for a special project. They then made their way to their ship and set sail, waving goodbye to the villages and smiling at the flag that was raised high in the sky. It was time to go to Loguetown and then to the Grand Line.

So, yeah I incorporated your guys' idea of de-aging Arlong. Some of you wanted him to join the crew but I saw that nigh impossible for two reasons. One, Nami. She would vehemently refuse to accept Arlong into the crew because of what he did to her, de-aging and him as far away from her as possible sure. Two, Arlong himself. If you guys don't realize Arlong is so overly arrogant and definitively believes he is superior to humans that it'd be impossible for him to be on a mostly human crew without wanting to kill everyone. So, I did the next best thing, de-age him and wipe his memories. That way he can be raised by Hachi and get a better attitude. Also, someone wanted me to use the Stone to show Arlong Fisher Tiger but if you guys paid attention to the Sun Pirates Flashback, with Koala, before he died he admitted he truly hated humans so that was a no go. Also, I realized as I was changing the chapter that I would definitely have to change the Loguetown Chapter before next update because I wrote that Chapter as if Arlong was dead. (Because originally Nami's thunderstrike killed him and Luffy cut off Arlong's head for the bounty, so uh the Loguetown Chapter's going to be shorter.) Anyways please add any suggestions you want for future chapters and I'll try to incorporate it if enough people like them!
