---------------------
The door to Arlong park had been smashed and destroyed all in one hit, causing several people to jump pack and away from us in shock and surprise, unable to believe what they had just saw.
If the girl in the group was able to destroy a huge ass iron gate that weighed so much that no one man could ever open it, then what could the men do? Especially our captain, because if I had to ask Luffy for permission to knock the gate down, then he was my captain, and that meant that he had to be even stronger then I was.
Of course, they wouldn't have been thinking this if they knew how the mallet worked, but I wasn't about to tell them that.
"Now which one of you is Arlong?" Luffy said, stepping ahead of me and up to the fishmen now that the gate was taken care of.
"Arlong?" Arlong asked darkly, not turning to look at us as he did so. "Well, that just happens to be my name." He said menacingly. ,
"Good." Luffy said, walking forward and a head of the rest of us.
It was while he and Arlong had their little 'I'm here to kick your ass' and 'I'll kill you if you try' conversation, I finally saw three fishmen that I had never seen before.
In the anime, Arlong's crew were all men, not including Nami that is, but that wasn't how it was now.
Now there were two more girls on it, and these two were female fishmen, which I guess would make them fishwomen.
The two fishwomen in question were very different from each other, and it was easy to see what kind of fishwomen they were.
The first one I saw was a rather large and burly looking fishwomen, who had tentacles instead of legs, kind of like Ursala from 'The Little Mermaid'. She even had the body build to be Ursala, if it wasn't for the fact that her face was ugly as hell and her tentacles seemed to be way to small for her body, causing her to look as though she only had a body from the waist up as her foot long tentacles slid across the ground under her.
There was also the fact that there was a huge fin on the end of each of her arms, though I had never seen a fish with anything like them before.
Her skin was a light pinkish-tan color and her hair was a strange purple-red. She also had heavy lidded eyes that gave her a sleepy look, and her huge lips looked like someone had tried to make a cross out of massive caterpillars that had curled in on themselves.
She was fuckin freaky looking, and I was kind of happy to know that there was no way she was Kongo, because she didn't have any barbs on her.
Either that, or she used all of them up and had to regrow them, and that would really suck because I kind of needed them for the kid.
The other girl didn't look so bad, though I was still kind of sure that she would never catch any human mans eye.
While her body seemed to be very human like, that was where the simalarities stopped. The top of her head was covered by a shell that I was pretty sure was a part of her and had something to do with the type of fishwomen she was.
She also had long ventral like tentacles coming out of the back of the shell instead of hair, and two more ventrals in place of her mouth, though these two were about as round as my upper arm and had to huge round lips at the end of them.
Her skin was a light blue, and the shell that was attached to her head was a light tan color, and was definitely a snail fishwoman.
Then, there was the new male fishman.
It was Kongo, no doubt about it.
He was a light tan-white color with dark red and brown stripes all over his body. He was covered in muscle like all fishmen seemed to be, but also had spikes and spurs coming out of his elbow, the back of his calvs, and the top of his head.
Like Kuroobi, the stingray fishman, Kongo's neck seemed to be just as wide as the rest of his body,
His face would have been somewhat normal if it wasn't for the fact that his lips were almost as big as my fists, which was a bit comical because they seemed way to feminine to be on a man, and I would have that that he was a sucker fishman if it wasn't for the spurs.
He also had a feature that was kind of odd, even for a fishman.
While all fishman had huge ass feet to allow them to swim quickly through the water, Kongo's feet were about three times wider then everyone else's, so much so that it was the first thing I saw when I looked at him.
Bozo, eat your heart out.
It was kind of strange though, I had never seen any of these fishmen before when watching the anime, and I couldn't understand why they would be here now if they hadn't been here then. It didn't really make any sense.
But that didn't matter now, all that mattered was that I had to kick Kongo's ass, and I wasn't sure if Sanji would let the guys beat the shit out of the fishwomen, which meant I now had to take care of three fishmen on my own, the one that I wasn't going to let anyone but myself beat, and the two that Sanji wouldn't let anyone else beat.
Damn, things just had to get more complicated, didn't they?
It also didn't help that Kongo seemed to be standing slightly behind Arlong in the same way that Chu, stingray, and Hatchan were standing.
Which meant that he wasn't just a member of Arlong's crew, he was one of Arlong's five officers, with Nami being the fifth one.
That meant that I had to fight an officer, because I wasn't going to let anyone else kick his ass, and two underlings, because Sanji was way to noble for our crew's own good.
"Because you made Nami cry." Luffy said, drawing me out of my staring and causing me two sweat drop when I saw that he had already punched Arlong.
All the fishmen underlings lunged at Luffy angrily, only for most of them to get kicked in the face by Sanji, and the two girls that he had left over to get huge Steel mallet hits to the head, sending them to the ground.
OK, so maybe the underlings weren't going to be that big of a deal,
They were way to weak for that.
"Huh, and here I thought I was going to have to fight those girls." I said in surprise.
I should have known they weren't going to be a problem. If all the underlings had all been taken care of by a single kick from Sanji in the anime, then they had to have been super weak to begin with. It was the officers that we were going to have a hard time with, and that meant that I was going to have to try and not get killed by Kongo while trying to knock him out.
"Geeze" Sanji said as he and Zoro walked up behind us. "You just had to run on ahead without us."
"Don't worry, I can handle these bozos on my own." Luffy said, completely missing the point.
"Ah, you fool. I never said anything about being worried." Sanji said, narrowing his eyes in annoyance at Luffy. "I just don't want you to hog all the action."
"Well, I don't mind if you hog all the action. Go right ahead, I don't mind." Usopp said, being his usual self like always.
"Didn't I say not to hog all the pray?" Zoro asked with a growl, walking over to Luffy and grabbing at one of his cheeks and pulling on it.
"Yeah, and Sanji would have killed you if you had knocked the two girls out." I added, causing Sanji to do his happy dance again while we ignored Hatchan's exclamations about Zoro.
"Huh? And why would he do something stupid like that?" Zoro asked, turning to Sanji and razing a brow when he saw that he was doing his 'Love cook dance'.
"Because you jerk!" Sanji said angrily, getting up into Zoro's face. "I already told you! As long as I'm around, I wont ever let a man hit a lady, you bastard!" He said angrily, causing Zoro to growl in annoyance, which then caused me to bop them both on the head with my wooden mallet.
Both of them simply looked at me when I did this, with Zoro glaring and Sanji staring at me with hearts in his eyes.
As long as they weren't trying to kill each other when we had bigger fishmen to fry, then I was fine with that.
"So Nami was a traitor this whole time." One of the fishmen said as he and the rest of them finished talking about 'the long nose', causing the rest of us to turn and look at them.
"Actually, it means she was never a traitor, moron." I said, causing the stingray fishman to glare at me.
"And how do you figure that, she was our crew member a long time before she was yours, that makes her a traitor if she's teamed up with you." He said, causing me to smile at him.
"Wrongo-" I said happily, extactic about the fact that I was finally getting the chance to say what I always wanted someone to point out during this part of the Arlong ark. "You see, if Nami had really joined up with you guys, then she would have been betraying her own people, so technically, she was never really part of your crew, she was just trying to protect her people.
"but you seem to be the only fishman here dumb enough not to notice, since the entire island and Arlong himself has always known that Nami was just with you guys to protect them. So, actually since she was never actually a member of your crew, and was just an enslaved contract worker for Arlong, that means she couldn't exactly be traitor, just an enslaved woman that has finally started fighting back. "I said, happily, causing some of the villagers behind me to start whispering.
They had already known all of this, but they had never known anyone brave enough to actually say it to Arlong and his gang.
But little did they know, I wasn't as brave as I was letting on, in side, I was really just a female Usopp ready to run away, it was only the fact that I never let anyone get away with hurting kids that was keeping me there in the park to begin with.
"Guys, Just so you know, Kongo, the lion fishman with the spurs and spikes, is mine." I said, causing Luffy, Sanji, Zoro, and Usopp to glance at me in question. "I have some unfinished business to take care of with him, that's all."
Sanji didn't look to happy with the idea of letting me take care of a poisons fishman, but didn't bother to argue when I started twirling my steel mallet on my shoulder.
I was serious about fight him, and Sanji wasn't about to argue with a pissed off woman, Zeff had taught him that much.
"So, you're pirates." Arlong said, realizing that we were a pirate crew. "So that's what this is about. You've been after Nami this whole time." he laughed, causing his men to laugh as well. "The girl is mine and I'm not giving her up!"
I had just been about to say something to him about being an enslaving bastard when Hatchan walked over to us, laughing as he took each step.
"Hahaha! A bunch of idiots like you aren't worth Arlong's time." he said, causing th rest of us to glare at him. "We know how to deal with you!" He said happily, turning around and blowing through his mouth like a trumpet.
The moment he finished his trumpeting, the ground started to shake and a large wave started heading right for Arlong park.
"Ah! What's going on here guys?!" Usopp yelled in horror, wandering what in the world could be causing the earth quack.
"Ahahaha! Every single one of you is about to become fish food!" Hatchan laughed as we watched the wave getting closer and closer. "Krogen! Rise!"
"Krogen?" I asked out loud as the wave started to break, showing something that was definitely not Momoo.
'What the hell is that?!' I mentally screamed, wandering what the hell that green thing was.
Because it wasn't Momoo.
It wasn't even a Seaking cow.
It was more like a Seaking frog.
And it was fucking scaring looking.
At first I hadn't even realized that it was a frog Seaking. When it first popped out of the water, I had thought that it was a snake of some kind because of the four fangs that were protruding from the sides of it's mouth, and also because a frogs head and a snakes head are very similar, though the only thing it had in common with Momoo the cow Seaking was the fact that it had a large lump on its head that was clearly from Sanji and Luffy.
But I had noticed that it was a frog as soon as it opened it's mouth and shoot it's long tongue out at Luffy, snapping him up and pulling him into his mouth in one try.
"Luffy!" I shouted in panic, wandering why in the hell Momoo wasn't there and why this thing was in his place.
Luffy's arms were the only things that were handing out of the frog Seaking's mouth, which was enough to show that he hadn't been swallowed yet.
All of use stood there panicked, unable to believe what we were seeing.
"Luffy!" Zoro, Sanji, Lil, and Usopp shouted in unison when they finally came out of their shock.
"Damn it all!" Zoro said, pulling out his sword and preparing to slice through the frog to save Luffy himself.
Sanji and I had also gotten ready to attack, but all three of us stopped when we saw Luffy stretch his arms out as far as he could.
He didn't need our help.
"Why the hell didn't you warn us about that thing?!" Zoro demanded, turning his anger on to me now that we knew Luffy didn't need our help.
"Because that thing was so not in my vision!" I said in horror, replacing the phrase 'the anime' with 'my vision' without even realizing it. It was starting to come naturally now. "What I saw in my vision was Momoo the Seaking cow!"
"You mean your visions aren't always right?!" He shouted in anger and surprise, wishing I had told them that in the first place.
"Hey! I only saw the version of the world, and it ind of changed a little when I joined the crew! So some things are a little different!" I said, still wandering why Momoo wasn't there.
"Momoo? How the hell do you know about him?" Arlong asked from his position near the crumbled wall that Luffy had knocked him into. "Momoo died about a month ago when some puman statue fell into the ocean and crushed his head."
My jaw hit the ground at his statement. The only statue that I could think of that would be big enough to crush any part of Momoo was the statue of liberty that had popped out of my froggy bag right before we met Buggy and Nami, which would mean that this was my fault.
"Yeah, and when they got the replacement Seaking for Arlong, that's when we joined the crew." Kongo said, walking forward and helping the two fishwomen up from the ground, indicating that he was talking about them.
Yep, this was all my fault, which meant that I really did have to deal with those three on my own if I wanted to make up for it, though I was half attempting to push the blame off onto my aunt for giving me the bag in the first place.
What? A girl can try, can't she?
Just as the two fishwomen stood up, Luffy hit the Seaking frog with a gum gum bazooka, causing it to spit him out again, though it's sticky tongue was still attached to him.
"What the-?" Kongo and Hatchan said in surprise as Luffy started spinning his legs around and causing his body to turn into a corkscrew as he flew through the air and landed on the ground.
The moment he was on the ground, he stomped his feet into the concrete under him, causing me to take off running and making Zoro snap his head in my direction in horror.
"Why the hell are you-?!" He started, only to realize that if I was running away, it was time for them to run as well. "Shit!" He yelled, grabbing Usopp ran for it too.
Sanji, not really understanding why we were running, followed us anyway and exited Arlong park with us to stand near the villagers.
"So, why are we running, my delectable sweat." Sanji asked once we were with the villagers again.
"Because, it would have been very painful if you guys would have stayed near Luffy." Lil answered, causing all the villagers to jump slightly, having never heard her talk before.
"Huh? And whys that?" Zoro asked, only to have me point to where Luffy was now standing.
"That's why."
At the same time the words left my mouth, Luffy started spinning around with Krogen's tongue in his arms, causing the giant Seaking frog to spin around with him, smacking into all the fishmen that were around and crushing them completely.
"Gum Gum pinwheel!" Luffy shouted as he crushed most of the fishmen underlings.
Luckily for Luffy, the two fishwomen weren't harmed in the process, otherwise Sanji would have killed him.
Luffy let go of Krogen's tongue and let it slide off of him while he was spinning, sending the Seaking frog flying through the air and into the distance.
The villagers were shocked and unable to believe their eyes. It took only one of our people to take down the monster that had replaced Momoo, something that none of them would have ever believed in a million years if they hadn't have seen it for themselves.
"He just took down Krogen with one attack!" one of the villagers explained as Sanji, Lil, Usopp, Zoro, and I headed back into the park, with Lil sitting on my shoulder.
Oddly enough, Genzo's pinwheel had given Luffy the idea for that attack, and Luffy's attack gave me an idea for one as well.
Chain reactions, aren't they great?
At least when they are good ones, I mean.
"Alright, that's it Arlong!" Luffy said angrily as we neared him. "I'm through fulling around, I didn't come here to take down all your cronies, I came here to teach you a lesson!' he shouted angrily, throwing a fist up into the air and shouting at Arlong. "So step up!"
"Oh, I will, don't worry. Actually, I was just thinking about how painfully I'll end your life." Arlong said menacingly, causing me to roll my eyes at him, even though I was silently wishing I could take off running in the opposite direction.
Hey, I never said I wasn't a chicken, I just said that I wouldn't run away from fight.
"That was the worst plan ever!" Sanji said angrily, causing me to turn my attention to him and the rest of the gang.
"Yeah! Were you trying to kill us too?!" Usopp asked, wishing that Luffy would learn to think things out before he actually acted on them.
"Uh oh." Luffy said, completely ignoring everyone as he started trying to get his feet out of the ground.
They were stuck.
"Don't worry, I'll fix it." I said, swinging my mallet over my head and preparing to get Luffy unstuck, only to have to jump back and dodge several pointed spurs that were sent straight at me, curticy of Kongo the Lion fishman.
"Hay! Watch it you bastard!" Sanji said angrily, pissed that a guy had just tried to hit me.
"Sorry, but the girl said that I was hers, so I just wanted to give her a little thank you for the offer." Kongo said, causing me to shiver in disgust when I realized the rather rude hidden meaning in them.
God, I hate pig headed assholes.
"Hey, can't you see I'm a little busy?" I asked in an annoyed tone, slightly annoyed that he had just made a sexual innuendo about me. "I'll deal with you later."
"Huh? You want to take care of your buddy instead of a fishman?" He said, once again in a way that made me think he was just a big pervert, one that was even worse then Sanji.
At least Sanji didn't make comments like that, he just told every girl he came across that he loved them.
"Sorry, but there is something I just don't like about sushi, especially when it's mini sized." I said, sniping back in annoyance and causing him to glare at me.
On the one hand, the glare scared the shit out of me, on the other hand, I was still going to make him pay for the kid, and then I was going to rip every last spur out of his thoroughly electrocuted body.
"Mini sized?!" He demanded, sucking in as much air as he could and then spitting out a huge wave of poisoned spurs at me.
Well, that explained where they came from, now all I had to do was dodge them.
"Lil!" I shouted as I jumped and flipped out of the way, landing on Sanji's shoulders once the over grown lion fish was done shooting spurs at me. "You know what to do!" I told Lil now that the spitting had stopped. "And as for you." I said, stopping Sanji's ranting at Kongo. "I said he was mine, so back off. Though I do thank you for your chivalry, this isn't really the time for it."
while I made my little statement to him, the others all started the battle, with Usopp running off and Chu chasing after him.
Once Sanji nodded at me, I quickly jumped off of his shoulders and took off running toward Kongo, fully intent on beating the shit out of him with one of my mallets.
I could use the normal wood mallet, but that one wasn't all that great and didn't really pack that much of a punch.
Or I could use the steel mallet, though I didn't really think that it would be a very good idea to carry around a mallet that was well over sixty pounds and slowed me down a lot when I had to dodge a bunch of flying poisonous needles aimed to kill me.
Then again, I could also use the impact and cushion mallet, and it could also act as a good shield by absorbing all the force from the spiked spurs for me, rendering the spurs useless. It also got really light after the energy was used, so it wouldn't slow me down that much either.
'Impact and cushion mallet it is.' I thought once I had made my decision, pulling the mallet out of my froggy bag where it had been ever since I had smashed the gate with it.
"Impact!" I shouted, swinging the mallet and trying to knock Kongo's head off, only for him to dodge to my right, just as I had been hoping he would. "Blizzard!"
in and instant the ground he was about step on froze over, causing him to slip slightly as he landed.
"What the?" He asked in surprise as he slipped slightly, giving me the perfect opportunity to bash him over the head with the mallet.
Or it would have been the perfect opportunity to bash him over the head with the mallet if it wasn't for one little problem.
The two fishwomen seemed to be Kongo's friends.
I was knocked to the ground and sent skidding across the concrete by the blue snail fishwomen, who didn't seemed to know that snails were supposed to be slow.
"Uh-uh-uh, Kongo is off limits!" Said the large pinkish-tan fishwoman that had the one foot long tentacles instead of legs and the giant fins on the end of her elbows. "I'm Dombio the the Dumbo Octopus fishwoman, and I'm here to knock you out. Kongo's ours and you can't have him!"
'What the hell is a Dumbo octopus?' I wandered, having never heard of it before. (A/N: A Dumbo octopus is a real animal, not a made up one.)
"So back off!" She ordered, huffing herself up and shooting a ball of water at me, which caused my eyes to poop out of my head when it missed and hit the wall, taking at a huge chunk out of it.
Damn, now that was a water gun.
"Look calamari wannabe," I said angrily, turning back to her and glaring at her."You're already on my list of people to take down, so unless you want to get upped on my list, back off."
"What did you just call me?!" She demanded, her pink skin turning a dark red in her anger. "NO PUMAN CALLS ME THAT!"
And so, the dodging commenced. She started spitting water ball after water ball at me, and was eventually joined in her spitting by Kongo, while the snail lady started doing a weird ice skating routine around me, even though there wasn't any ice except for one half foot square patch near Kongo's feet.
"Damn it!" I growled as I flipped through the air and grabbed the broom out of my froggy bag as I continued dodging.
"And what do you plan to do with that? Sweep us away?" Cam a doubled shrill voice that caused me to jump slightly.
Snails shouldn't talk, they sounded like nails on a chalkboard.
"Not exactly!" I said, jumping up onto the broom and taking off, causing everyone around to stop and stare in surprise, Villagers and fishmen alike.
The look on Arlong's face, PRICELESS! If I had a camera, I would have taken a picture so that Nami could have it to remember forever. I was pretty sure she had never seen him look so shocked and surprised.
"Yeah, what was it you were saying about puny Pumans only having the land or something like that, and how fishmen had the water and the land?" I said mockingly, smirking down at all the fishmen as I did so. "I guess you didn't think that through all the way, did you?" I asked as I started weaving and dancing through the air to avoid the spurs that Kongo was now sending at me.
"What the hell are you?!" Arlong demanded, having never seen a flying human before.
I was half tempted to cackle at him, seriously. The creepiness would have been awesome, and I probably would have done it to if it wasn't for one problem.
Kongo and Dombio wouldn't stop shooting at me.
Tired of all the dogging, i finally grabbed my mallet and started using the absorption side to stop the pins, smiling as it slowly got heavier.
"Oh, ow, ow, I'm in pain." I said sarcastically as I continued using the mallet to stop their attacks. "Ow, no, please, stop, I beg you."
"GR! Get back down here and fight! Puman!" Kongo shouted, causing me to roll my eyes at him.
"Yeah, come down and get my ass kicked? And you guys call humans stupid." I said, hovering over them now that they had stopped shooting at me. "Look out below!" I shouted, grabbing my froggy bag and doing the unthinkable.
I held it upside down, right over them.
Now that I could fly, there was a huge amount of shit I was going to try out, one of which was holding my magical froggy bag over someone and letting all the crap fall out of it right onto their heads.
The moment the froggy bag was opened and set upside down, I started shaking it as hard as I could, sending a huge number of things out of it, including a bunch of things I had never seen before.
The first thing that came out of it was the same latter that had been floating in the air inside the froggy bag, the same one that had hit me when I first looked into the bag in order to find the spell book.
The fact that a huge ass latter was falling out of a tiny ass bag caused just about everyone in the area, including Sanji, Usopp, Johnny, and Yosaku, to stare in shock, and in horror in the case of the fishmen that were now my targets.
"Run! Run! Run for your lives! Ehehehehe!" I said happily as more things started falling out, finally giving in and allowing myself to cackle at them as more and more things started to come out faster and faster.
"She- She's a witch!" one of the villagers shouted, causing a look of comprehension to make its way onto everyones faces, including Arlong's.
It must have been the cackle that did me in, because the fact that I was flying on a broom hadn't tipped them off for some reason.
The next set of things that came out of the froggy bag, I wasn't to happy about falling out. It was the same guns, bullets, knives and swords that I had stolen from the marine base back when Luffy was saving Zoro. The fact that I had completely forgotten about them in the first place was extremely annoying, and now there was a small chance that I wouldn't get to sell them in a shop any time soon because they would be damaged.
Damn.
My annoyance at having the loot I had stolen fall out of the bag was instantly erased and replaced by shock and horror when something much, much larger started coming out of it instead.
'It couldn't be!' I thought in horror, hoping everyone would be able to get out of the way in time in case it was what it looked like.
It was.
The bag had done it again.
It had sent out something that I hadn't thought I would ever see again.
It had sent out the fifth one ever seen in the first place.
It was another statue of liberty.
"Look out below!" I shouted as the huge ass statue shot out of the bag and fell to the ground, nearly dragging me with it.
Luckily, and unluckily, everyone got out of the way in time, including the damn fishmen, who I wouldn't have been that upset about if they had been crushed.
"Damn it! She's going to destroy Arlong park!" Hatchan shouted in horror, unable to believe what he was seeing.
The only ones that weren't all that fazed by the huge ass statue, were Lil, Choco, and Zoro, who had all seen the exact same thing happen once before.
"Sorry!" I shouted to the people below, half happy that my friends had survived, and half pissed that the fishmen had also.
Can't a girl get a fucking break around here?
"Damn it! You're almost as bad as Luffy!" Zoro shouted angrily, still managing to continue fighting Hatchan as he did so.
"Hay! Watch it!" Sanji said in annoyance, though he somehow managed to refrain from doing something stupid in the middle of the fight, even though he was clearly annoyed about Zoro's comment. "There ain't no way she could eva' be as bad as that idiot."
"Trust me, you haven't seen the thing's she's nearly killed us with," Zoro said, causing me to glare at him.
'I never nearly got us killed!' I thought defensively, only to freak out a second later when I saw that Kongo had gotten on top of the statue and was now planning on jumping over to the broom.
"Shit!" I shouted in horror, leaning forward and to the right as far as I could and shooting off into the distance, causing him to miss completely and hit the ground.
'Severs you right you son of a bitch, no hitchhikers damn it!' I thought in annoyance, flying around and heading back too him, putting my mallet my my froggy bag in the blink of an eye and reaching my right index finger out to point at him.
"Thunder!" I shouted, missing him completely but getting his little pink girlfriend.
'Well, at least that takes care of Dumbo bitch.' I thought, pleased that I had still managed to take one of them out. 'Now to get the other one, and him!'
Turning around again, I went into another dive, heading straight for the blue chick who was now trying to help Dombio up from the ground, only to realize that she herself was in danger just two seconds to late.
"Thunder!" I shouted, zapping her and sending her flying, only to see that she had somehow managed to pull herself into the tiny ass shell on her head.
OK, so it wasn't exactly tiny, but this chick is bigger then I am, and she pulled herself into a shell that was the same size as a basket ball.
'Damn it!' I thought in anger, wandering how this woman was still an underling when she was being such a pain in the ass to deal with.
"Great, I can't even take down two underlings! I could barely manage one!" I said angrily as I was forced to start dodging spurs once again, whimpering in fear when some of them managed to hit the tail of the broom.
That was way to close for comfort.
"Wow, that was a close one." I heard that same doubled shrill voice say, causing me to grind my teeth in agony.
Hearing nails on a chalkboard was bad enough, hearing it done twice and at the same time was a lot worse.
"You almost got me! Big meanie!" the snail chick said as I turned to face her and Kongo.
The fact that Dombio still hadn't gotten back up and was out cold made me smile.
One down, two to go.
"What's your story, how'd you fit into that thing?" I asked from the air, keeping my distance so they wouldn't be able to shoot or hurt me in any way, shape, or form.
"Huh? Ah-hahaha! "she laughed, sounding like and even worse version of Janis from 'friends'. "My name is Shella, and I'm a snail fishwoman, silly. I don't have any bones, and I can fit myself into just about anything." She explained as Kongo picked her up. "And I do mean anything."
Kongo then did something I hadn't been expecting at all, something that just shouldn't be physically possible in any world.
He put her into his mouth.
It took me less then a second to get over my 'Ick' and 'claustrophobic' moments and prepare myself for what was about to happen.
I didn't need to be psychic to know he was going to use her in place of one of his spurs, any first grader could tell you that.
"Ok, all you have to do is hit her back like a baseball, that shouldn't be that hard." I said, ignoring the fact that some snails had a special type of slime that aloud them to stick to anything.
Hopefully, she wasn't one of those kinds of snail fishwomen.
Just as he was about to spit her at me, I changed my mind and turned around, using my broom to get me down and into the ocean and down to where I was sure Luffy was currently stuck at.
I hadn't actually seen him get thrown in, but I hadn't saved him and he hadn't been in the park when the statue of liberty nearly crushed everyone, so he had to have already been thrown into the water.
And I was right.
Genzo was hovering near an unconscious Luffy and was trying to break the massive slab of concrete that was stuck to Luffy's feet.
Waving my hands around to get his attention, I nearly gave him a heart attack when I appeared out of nowhere right next to him.
Knowing that I didn't have much time before the fishmen showed up again, I grabbed Genzo and forced him onto the back of the broom, then grabbed one of Luffy's arms in my left hand, and then grabbed my impact and cushion mallet once Genzo was safely on behind me.
I had been storing up all the energy from the water balls and spurs that Kongo and Dombio had sent at me specifically for this reason. It was the quickest way to deal with the battle, and I had every intention of doing all of this as quickly as possible.
Taking the mallet, I put I simply tapped the concrete with the impact side and smiled when the huge block was completely destroyed.
If it hadn't been for the fact that I could see Kongo just off in the distance and shooting toward me faster then I could run, I would have taken a moment to smile in pride at the ruble, but as I could see him just off in the distance and shooting toward me faster then I could run, I didn't stay around long enough for him to catch up to me.
Leaning forward on my broom as far as I could, I shot forward and away from him, smiling when I realized that he wasn't nearly as fast as my broom was, not even in the water.
As we got farther and farther away from him, I started pulling the handle of my broom up, causing us to rise out of the sea and into the air.
"What?! We're flying!" Genzo said, causing me to realize that he hadn't been around during the 'Statue of liberty' moment.
"Of course!" I shouted back to him over the sound of the wind rushing past us. "How else would a witch travel?!"
Flying really was one of the greatest feelings in the world, especially when you actually knew how to steer.
"Ach-uch-ach-uch-ach-uch-" The sound of Luffy's snoring was so loud that I could actually hear it through the sound of the wind, causing me to wander how I had ever been able to sleep with him just a few yards away.
"God, you could wake the dead with his snores!" I shouted to Genzo as we headed back to Arlong park.
"What?!" Genzo shouted, unable to hear me completely.
"I Said, " I shouted again, trying to be even louder this time. "You could wake the dead with how loud his snores are!"
Genzo chuckled slightly, indicating that he had heard me this time.
"I'm surprised he was sleeping this whole time! I thought all devil-fruit user drowned when underwater!" He said, prompting me to explain.
"Sorry, I may be psychic, and I may be a witch, but even I don't know how he does that!" I shouted to him as we finally made it back over Arlong park.
Slowing the broom down so that it was simply hovering over the ground, I let Genzo get of the broom, though he somehow managed to trip as he did it.
"Amateur." I said mockingly, hopping off the broom as well and eating my words less then a second later when I probably had a lip lock session with the ground.
OK, so I'm an amateur, so sue me, I had only been flying for one day after all.
"Yeah, yeah, yeah. I know, I know." I told him as I stood up from the ground and dusted myself off. "Luffy! Wake up! Now!" I shouted angrily, shaking the shit out of him in an attempt to wake him up.
When it didn't work, I promptly let go of him and smacked him with my steel mallet just as he was about to hit the ground, causing him to stand up and rub his head in agony.
"Hey! What was that for?!" He demanded, glaring at me for a second before he remembered what was going on. "Oh yeah!" He exclaimed, turning around and planing to go beat the shit out of Arlong, only to stop when he saw the giant statue that was now standing in front of him.
"WHAT THE?!" He shouted in shock, unable to believe his eyes. "Where did that thing come from?" he asked, just as a look of determination entered his eyes that I didn't like.
"Luffy, that statue is called the Statue of Liberty, It stands for freedom and justice, so don't you dare wreck it!" I said menacingly, causing him to smile sheepishly at me in an attempt to pacify me.
"Ok, I wont hurt it." I said, knowing that I wasn't against hitting him with the mallet again if he went against this request.
The mallet is the master, don't fuck with the master.
"Good boy, now go beat Arlong while I go kill me two ugly little fishmen." I said, hopping back on my broom and flying off over the statue in an attempt to find Kongo.
I didn't have to look look either as he and Shella were both standing on the crown of the statue of liberty, looking up into the sky for me.
"Heh, isn't that made of metal?" I thought out loud, smiling when I realized that I might be able to take Shella down with one good attack, though I knew it would take a couple more then that to take Kongo down. "Ok, I already made Calamari, now it's time to try out some es cargo."
getting as close to them as I could, I stuck my right index finger out and aimed it at Shella, then thought of the strongest stormy night as I could. "THUNDER!" I roared, causing both of them tow spin around, only for the attack to hit Shella in the chest and send her flying off the statue.
She didn't get a chance to retreat into her shell this time, it had hit her dead on, and had knocked her out instantly.
And the fall couldn't exactly have been good for her either.
"Now it's two down, and one to go." I said, my anger at what Kongo had done to the little boy returning in full force now that it was just him against me." Now, you son of a bitch, I'm going to make you pay for what you did to that kid, and then I'm going to rip your spurs out of your crispy dead body."
My words seemed to infuriate him to no end. He clearly wasn't used to being talked to like that by a human, or Puman as he and his friends so lovingly called us.
I might claim to be only half human to the others, but I wasn't going to lie to myself about that too.
"Pumans are below us in every way, why shouldn't we use them and treat them as we see fit?" He asked, his words dripping with disdain for having to speak to me in the first place.
"Is that really how you see it? Do you really see humans as nothing more then animals for you to enslave?!" I roared in anger, unable to believe what I was hearing. "How the hell can anyone, especially someone that is practically hunted for enslavement in part of the Grandline, possibly be able to think that slavery is OK?! Tell me!"
"Hm, you Pumans think you're so much better then us, so you enslave us, but it is us that are better, and it is we that will enslave you all!" He roared, his own anger rising as well.
He had completely missed my point.
"Enough, time to fight!" I said angrily, flying straight at him as fast as I could.
I no longer cared if I got hit with the spurs. If I took him out and got some of his poison for the doctor, then it wouldn't really matter.
"Thunder!"
"Pin missile cannon!"
the two attacks hit each other in mid air, causing his spurs to get incinerated, but also causing my thunder attack to end once it hit them.
"Huh, it seems our attacks ar-" He started, doing the usually stupid bad guy thing of talking when he should be attacking.
Moron.
"THUNDER!" I shouted halfway through his sentence, sending a huge bolt of electricity at him and hitting him in the chest with it. "Thunder!" I shouted again, only for him to dodge this time.
"Hey! Didn't your mother ever te-"
"THUNDER!"
if he wanted to keep giving me openings to attack by stopping to talk, then I was going to take them. Only an idiot stops in the middle of a fight to attack.
"Damn it! Stop doing that when I'm talking to you!" He shouted angrily, only to have to dodge as another thunder attack was sent at him. "DAMN IT!"
"Thunder! Only an idiot, THUNDER! Stops to talk, THUNDER!, in the middle of a, THUNDER!, battle."I said angrily as I continued sending thunders at him every time the last attack ended.
I wasn't going to stop for anything, not in a million years. There was a little boy who was depending on me, and I wasn't about to let him down.
Being a fishman, electric attacks didn't exactly seem to be doing him any favors. Ever single one seemed to cause him a huge amount of pain, and his ability to stand seemed to slowly be draining out of him, indicating that the attacks weren't just hurting him, but that they were damaging him as well.
Good, let the son of a bitch suffer.
"My attacks, THUNDER!, seem to be, THUNDER!, hurting you, is there, THUNDER!, something I should, THUNDER!, know?" the fact that I had used way to many thunder attacks was starting to catch up to me.
When I had been practicing the spell, arms would start hurting after about ten to fifteen of them in a row, and that was with me waiting a couple of seconds in between spells.
In short, my arms felt like they were going to fall off, but there was one last thing I had to do.
During my attacks, Kongo had jumped off of the Statue of liberty so that he wouldn't get zapped by the thunderbolts that missed him but hit he statue. Metal conducts electricity so each attack that hit it, also hit him.
So he was now standing on the ground, and seemed to be unable to move very well anymore thanks to the hits from the thunder bolts.
Getting off the broom, I decided that the last attack he would ever see should bee the new one that I had come up with thanks to Luffy's gum gum pinwheel.
"Kongo." I said, getting his attention as I pulled out my metal mallet. "I know you can't move now, and even if you could shoot me with your poisonous spurs, it wouldn't matter." I said, standing opposite of him with my mallet held straight up and down in front of me with both hands on it. "This is a move that is for Nami. It's for everything you assholes have done to her, and it's the last thing you will ever see."
Kongo simply looked up at me, his eyes widening as he finally saw the look in my eyes. The emotionless look of someone that wasn't going to hesitate, the look of someone that wasn't going to stop at the last second, and the look of someone that was about to sacrifice their own sole for the sake of another.
The look of death.
"Now watch as I show you something that is completely my own, and yet, completely Nami!" I said as I started to spin the mallet in my hands in an hand over hand motiong, causing it to spin faster and faster like a pinwheel in the wind.
"Tangerine moons!" I shouted as filled the spinning mallet with all the electricity I could manage, causing it to look like a massive glowing tangerine colored moon. "Nami's Pinwheel!" I shouted, altering the direction of the spin and sending the mallet flying at him.
He didn't even have a chance. The distance between us was only a few yards, and the mallet had been spinning so fast that it had been almost impossible to see. The moment it hit him, it was over.
The impact was immense. The moment it hit him it sent him flying through Arlong's mansion and straight through the other side and throw a bunch of trees, destroying them instantly.
It was like Sanji's finishing kick, only it was my finishing move.
When the mallet came flying back at me, I caught it in my right hand, only to drop it a second later when an excruciating pain shot through both of my arms.
It wasn't the spells that had caused them to hurt, they were hurting because of all the work I had done to get the mallet to spin like that. I couldn't help but wander if I had ripped the tendons in them or something, and if I had, if I would ever be able to use my arms again.
It was at that moment that the rest of my body failed me, causing me to fall to the ground, unable to move.
"Kaede!" A voice shouted, causing me to growl in annoyance when I realized that ti wasn't able to move my head to look up at Nami as she ran over to me.
"Did you see that? I sent him flying!" I said happily, even though my body was aching all over.
"Yeah, and I heard what you said." she said, more tears rolling down her cheeks like they had before.
"What did you expect? You're the closest thing I have to a sister, I couldn't exactly let them get away with what they had done to you." I said,smiling as she attempted to pick me up. "Don't bother, go get Genzo, Yosaku, and Johnny, I think it's time we put them to work anyway."
"Right!" She said, hopping and running off to get them, though I could tell by the look on her face that she had had to force herself to move.
She was worried, as though I was Nojiko and she had just found her hurt. In the short time we had been traveling together, we really had started to feel like sisters, with me being the awkward one that she tended to use as her dress up doll.
We all would probably start feeling more and more like family before long. It was kind of what a crew was, a large, makeshift family that sailed around out on the seas.
"Hay! Are you OK?" Johnny's voice called as he and the others ran over to me.
"She can't move her body." Nami explained, grabbing my stuff for me while Genzo lifted my into his arms on his own.
What was the point of Yosaku and Johnny again? Oh yeah, my mallet.
"Don't forget my steel mallet." I said as Genzo started carrying me to the hole where the gate used to be.
Johnny picked up my mallet without a problem, proving that there had been no residual effects of all the electricity I had pumped into it.
When we finally got to the gate, Luffy was just entering the mansion with Arlong, signaling the end of the battle.
It was all up to him now.
