Unfortunate Luck

Hachi took Kokoyashi Village.

"Nami might be somewhere in this village visiting her sister," Hachi said.

"Her sister?" Zoro asked.

"Yeah! Nojiko!" Hachi said, "It's not hard to miss her house, it's in an orange tree farm close to here."

"Okay, thanks," Zoro responded.

"You're welcome, come again!" Hachi said as he swam off.

"Now I understand why she was able to stand Luffy for so long," Zoro said with a sweatdrop, "That fishman is an idiot."

Zoro turned to the village.

"I guess I better find Usopp and Johnny, and get them back for leaving me behind. Then we'll go wait for Luffy and the others."

Zoro asked the villagers about Usopp and Johnny.

He didn't get anything on Johnny, but he did learn something about Usopp.

"What? Usopp is being chased by fishmen?" Zoro asked.

"Yes, but I'm sure he was captured by now," the villager said.

"Darn it!" Zoro responded.

Zoro rushed off back to Arlong Park.

"Usopp doesn't know how to use Haki to fool the fishmen. He could be in trouble," Zoro thought.

Unfortunately, despite just coming from the direction of Arlong Park, Zoro was going the wrong way.

…

Usopp was hiding safely from the fishmen by using the woods.

"Fishmen can be so gullible," Usopp laughed to himself.

Although Usopp was scared of the fishmen, he couldn't help but laugh.

When it comes to hiding, trees are Usopp's friends.

Usopp sensed someone running by, and hid.

He look and saw it was Zoro running to some random direction.

"Zoro? When did he escape from the fishmen?" Usopp asked, "More importantly, where on earth is he going?"

…

Meanwhile… the rest of the crew's boat was being pulled by the giant sea cow.

"This is great! We'll be there in no time!" Luffy cheered.

"That's if we don't crash into something," Gin said.

…

Arlong and the rest of his crew arrived at their base to see that most of the remaining fishmen of their crew were injured.

"What happened?" Arlong demanded.

"That man we caught … it's Roronoa Zoro," an injured fishman said.

"What?" Arlong responded.

"That guy ... has … some kind of… strange power…" the fishman explained.

"Arlong, we didn't catch that long nose freak, but we did catch this guy sneaking around," a fishman with a sucker mouth said as he threw a beat up Johnny into the ground, "He claims to know Roronoa Zoro."

"Oh really?" Arlong asked.

"I don't know anything!" Johnny lied.

"Don't lie to us," the suckermouth fishman said.

"Hey! What's going on?" someone yelled.

They turned to see that Nami had returned.

"Nami, welcome back!" Arlong greeted, "We just captured a man that claims to know a pirate hunter."

Nami noticed the injured fishman.

Nami already had a clue what happened, but ask, "What happened here?" to decrease suspicions.

"That man we captured was Roronoa Zoro. He apparently did this to our men," Arlong responded.

"Zoro, you idiot!" Nami thought.

"Hey Nami, you said you tricked that man! Did you know he was Roronoa Zoro?" a fishman with a hairstyle and fins on his arms like stingrays asked.

"Of course not! I thought he was just some fool!" Nami responded.

"What about this guy?" the stingray-fishman pointed at Johnny.

"Sis…" Johnny said but stopped when Nami glared at him.

The glare was telling him 'If you call me 'sister' or 'brother' Nami in front of these guys, you'll regret it'.

"This guy is just some pathetic weak idiot who I stole from," Nami said.

Hachi jumped out of the water into the park.

"Hello everyone!" Hachi greeted.

"Hachi!" the fishmen yelled.

Hachi noticed the injured crewmates everywhere.

"What happened here?" Hachi asked.

"Where have you been?" the crew yelled.

"Hachi! Where were you?" Arlong demanded.

"Oh, I was escorting a man with green hair back to Kokoyashi village," Hachi said.

"What?" the crew responded.

"Hachi, did that man have a katana?" Arlong asked.

"Well, now that you mention it, yeah he did!" Hachi responded.

"Hachi, you idiot! That was the infamous pirate hunter: Roronoa Zoro!" Arlong yelled, "He's the one who hurt our men!"

"What?" Hachi responded.

"You idiot!" the fishmen yelled.

"But that guy said he was a friend of Nami, and told me that Nami told him to have me take him to a village," Hachi responded.

"What?" the fishmen yelled.

"Nami...!" Arlong said as he turned to Nami.

Nami had a scared look on her face, like she was in deep trouble.

She looked at Johnny, who was starting to get up.

Nami did the only thing that came to her mind.

She pulled out her collapsible staff, linked it together, rushed over to Johnny and hit him in the gut.

"Nami…" Johnny responded.

"I'm sorry, but I can't let everything I did up till now be for nothing," Nami whispered low enough that only Johnny could hear, "It's better for everyone that I do this."

"Huh?" Johnny responded.

Nami hit him a few more times with severe hits.

Finally she ended it with one final blow that send Johnny to the ocean.

The fishmen stared at her confused.

"I don't know if that man worked for Zoro or not, but now he's no longer a hindrance," Nami said, "As for what that man told you, Hachi. I'm sorry to tell you this, but that man must of lied to you to get what he wants."

"What?" Hachi responded.

There was a brief silence.

Then Arlong broke the silence by laughing.

"I'm sorry to have suspect you, Nami. We've been friends for 8 years. So you have the right to be mad at us," Arlong apologized, "We are just a little confuse about the situation here."

"That's okay," Nami said, "Just remember our deal."

"Yes. I will buy your town back after you gathered hundred million berries," Arlong agreed, "I'm true to my word."

"Good," Nami agreed as she walked off.

"Did Zoro really lie, or did Nami just lie to protect him? I'm confuse," Hachi wondered confused.

…

Johnny was underwater, swimming to another shore.

"Nami saved me, but what did she meant this was best for everyone," Johnny thought.

…

After Nami left for a while, the stingray fishman came up to Arlong.

"Arlong, I found this map in Nami's room," the fishman said showing the map, "It might lead to where she keeps that treasure."

"Put it back where you found it!" Arlong ordered.

"But sir…"

"We'll use the map later, in a way that even Nami wouldn't expect," Arlong said, "After all, in order to grow my empire, we can't let her achieve her goal."

"Yes sir," the fishman agreed.

A/N: I decided to mix things up with Johnny being captured instead of Usopp. Also, with Zoro getting lost, that was just a bonus.
