Arlong stood at the girl who stood strong before him. He was going to break her, he would make her wish she had never heard of him. Once he killed her, the men who followed her would also give in, "Pirate King? Don't make me laugh. You think a mere human like you can become something like that? Can you bite through a column with your own power?"
Luffyko shrugged, "So what? Don't try showing off….with things that don't matter!" She challenged as she smashed a large piece of stone with a single punch. "I can break that column without having to bite it."
Arlong glared with hatred, "You are so stupid! The whole human race is pathetic!" He looked at the girl and pointed down at her, "You can't even save yourself in the ocean. You can't do anything!" He yelled as he lunged at her, aiming to take a bite out of her.
Luffyko ducked and grabbed two swords, "And when I can't do anything, I have others to help me!" She lifted the swords up and saw him back away, "Take that and that and that!" She cried out as she swung the swords back and forth trying to hit the merman.
"What the hell are you doing now?" He demanded as he easily avoided the blades she pointed at him. "You are just waiving them around." He started laughing then blocked one with his nose sending it out of her hand. "I have no interest in fooling around with you." He saw her swing with her remaining sword and he caught it in his mouth biting it into pieces, "This is boring."
The small girl brought her momentum full swing, "Then eat this!" She yelled as she brought her fist into his cheek with enough force to knock him down and send herself into an in air barrel roll. She heard the people gasp as Arlong's teeth broke and fell from his mouth. She stood up from her crouched like stance and looked down at him holding his jaw. Then she raised her fists and yelled, "Of course I don't know a damn thing about swords, you dumbass! I don't know how to navigate either. I can't cook. I can't even lie! I know that I need others to HELP me if I want to keep on living!"
"You sure are useless…how pitiful." Arlong began to sit up then and looked at her, "And such a pathetic girl is their captain? They must really resent you. Why should they risk their lives to save someone like you? Someone they can't be proud of, why should you be their captain? What can you do?" He asked as he stood up at the small pathetic human girl in front of him.
Luffyko smirked, her eyes on the prize, "I can kick the crap outta you!"
Arlong heard everyone get excited and screamed, "SHUT UP! You've got to be joking, you weaklings!" As he screamed his teeth fell from his mouth and a new set of sharp teeth replaced them.
Luffyko watched in amazement, "Eh? His teeth grew back!"
"Because I'm a shark. My teeth will grow back over and over with stronger ones everytime!" He reached into his mouth and then pulled out the teeth that had just grown in, "However many times…" He started to say as new teeth grew back in. He reached up and smirked, "As many times as I need." He pulled out the teeth again only for them to grow back, "This is a trait that the Heavens have given to me."
"Cool!" Luffyko cried as she saw the new stronger teeth that were about to be unleashed onto her.
Arlong held up the two extra set of teeth in his hands and pointed them towards her, "Are you beginning to understand just how superior I am?"
Luffyko suddenly dodged as he went to close the teeth into her, "Whoah! Stop that!" She cried as she grabbed onto his arm so he couldn't attack her again. Then she saw him come at him with a fury of attacks. Before he could hit her she grabbed the merman who was laying next to her and used him as a shield until he was able to tell Arlong to stop.
"My kinsman! You will pay you rubber bitch. How dare you use one of my men as a shield!"
"What are you talking about? You are the one who attacked him."
"Stand still rubber bitch." Arlong said as he prepared his teeth again.
Luffyko grinned then, "I think I just got an idea." She dodged three of his attacks before planting one of her feet down then brought the other and kicked him in the face, knocking his teeth out. "They came out!"
Arlong sat up smug, "Idiot, I told you that it doesn't matter how many times you break my teeth. Don't you get it yet?" He asked as a new set of teeth came in.
Luffyko grinned as the sharp teeth she had collected now sat in her mouth, "Look! Now I got them too!"
Arlong felt the rage continue to rise against the stupid human girl, "How long do you intend to keep fooling around?" He demanded as he lunged towards her.
Luffyko wasn't able to dodge in time and felt the teeth cut across under her left breast . She grabbed the area as she cried out, "I was bit by a shark!"
Johnny and Yosaku glared at her, "Coz' you were fooling around!" They yelled.
Luffyko looked at them in surprise, "Who's fooling around. I'm dead serious!" She yelled still holding on to her injury. She saw him attack and quickly dodged, 'I'll focus on the fight then beg Nami for my life.' She loked up and saw him coming for her again and grabbed a piece of stone and blocked Arlong's attack with it. The attack knocked her back and before she could do anything he attacked again slamming his teeth into her right breast. She cried out in pain as she reached up and bit him in the gills. He screamed and let her go and she quickly backed up, curling into her side, trying to keep the pain minimal. She turned to him and grinned, "How was that? Getting bitten by your own teeth!"
"Even if they are mine, your jaw is far too weak! Listen, sharks tear flesh and limbs from the body of it's prey. That's what a shark's true power is!"
Luffyko saw him coming at her again and blocked him with her elbow, his teeth sinking into her flesh. She screamed in rage then lifted her foot and slammed it down, her body following until she slammed Arlong with her elbow still in his jaw into the ground. When he hit, he blacked out for a second, long enough for her to pull her elbow out and roll away from him. She heard Arlong begin to get up and she pulled the teeth from her right side and saw her vest begin to rip more, 'Anymore and Nami is going to kill me…' She thought then shook her head, Nami needed her to fight, 'Nami will just have to wait till after this fight to scold me. After all, I'm saving her right now, she can cut me a break from following rules of etiquette. Back to the fish bastard…' She stood up and saw he was gone, "Huh, where is he?"
Johnny glared at the captain, what was she doing, "He's in the water!"
"The water?" Luffyko wondered as she saw a shark swim in the pool, "Oh! It's a shark!"
"That's Arlong, dummy!" Usopp yelled at the small female. He was happy she seemed okay though, he thought she had been bit in two by the teeth, she was so small he couldn't see how it hadn't killed her.
"Huh, he dove down." She waited and when he didn't come up she looked harder, "Did he run away?" She watched as suddenly something shot out of the water it cut into her side and spun her into the ground. She held her side in pain as she heard Arlong.
"Oh, you dodged that well. But dodging is just dodging; the next one will send you to hell!" He shot back at her and she dodged as his nose crushed the ground and let him slide back into the water only to shoot back out at her cutting into her other side. By the time she landed he came in for another attack knocking her into the air. By the time she hit the floor he was back in the water, waiting.
Luffyko stood up as everyone told her to run. She saw Nami shake as everyone continued to tell her to hide. "No." Sanji asked her to hide so she wouldn't get hurt anymore and she stubbornly refused. "No! I'm gunna break that nose of his." She said as she looked down into the water. "Bring it on, Sharky." She ignored people yelling and crossed her fingers, "Gum Gum Shield!" As Arlong shot out of the water at her Luffyko pulled her fingers farther apart catching his nose between her fingers so he was unable to hit her with his sharp nose. Before she crashed she broke apart and held onto his the tall building, "I stopped you lil' trick, so I guess you can't use that again." When she saw him come back at her she jumped away, "You jerk, you can't use that anymore!"
"You are finished!"
Luffyko narrowed her eyes as he shot forward again, "Gum Gum Net! Fishing! Let's fish!" She released him so he was looking at her as she grinned and began to spun, "and now…Gum Gum Spear!" She slammed her feet into Arlong destroying the floor underneath him. As she began to descend she noticed he wasn't moving, "Oh? Is he dead?"
Arlong suddenly glared and grabbed her hair as she was within arms length, "You inferior human! How did you do this to me, a merman!?" He yelled as he began to spin her in a circle. He let her go crashing into a wall.
Luffyko sat up in the rubble, "Man, that shook me up. I don't think he's hurt, but he sure is angry." She saw him lunge again and quickly jumped out of the way to see him pull out a sword, "What is that?" She saw him leap up swinging it at her and went up higher on the park. When he continued following her to the top she leapt into a room ducking under the blade as it cut the room, "That was close."
"Now you don't have anywhere to run." Arlong said as he stepped toward her, "This is the top floor of Arlong Park. Looks like your last moments have come."
Luffyko ignored the crazed shark, "What's with this room? It's full of paper."
"Not just any paper! This is the map room. The room for that girl to draw her maps."
"Nami's room?"
"All of them are sea maps that Nami drew for me. It's impressive, isn't it? Her eight years of work. My treasure. We know the sea like the back of our hands, but it's hard for us to make maps. We needed a skilled cartographer. Then I found that girl, with her talented eye! That girl's a genius! You won't find anyone who can draw more accurately. She's too good to serve you humans! Her talent exists to serve us mermen forever! Nami is our friend!"
Luffyko looked at the man, "Friend?"
"Just stay out of our way! You rubber bitch!"
Luffyko gave him a leveled glare as he pointed the blade at her, "What? What's with that look?!"
"She's…Nami is OUR NAVIGATOR!"
"Oh? You want her to pilot that crappy little boat of yours, eh? Heh, her talent would only be wasted. Look around you. How many people in the world can draw such perfect maps? That girl is a genius! There couldn't be anything more stupid than wasting such a talent. For that girl, it's best for her to continue to work here. Her greatest happiness."
Luffyko looked at a pen nearby and picked it up, "This pen. It's got blood on it." Luffyko refused to look at the monster all she could see was a young Nami being forced to draw until she bleed. The girl she thought of as a sister was tortured to draw maps for the man who ruined her life.
"For me to rule the world, Nami's maps are a necessity!" He raised his toothed sword and put Luffyko's head between two of them, "She will keep drawing maps for the sake of my ambition. And once I have the maps of all the seas in the world, no one will be able to stand against me! The whole world will be mine! And it all starts right here, on this island in East Blue. How could you possibly use her better than I can?" He watched the small girl put down the pen and then place a hand on a tooth of his sword. When he went to pull on it he found he couldn't move it, even though the girl only seemed to have a light grasp on it. 'Why can't I move Kiribachi…'
Luffyko squeezed down and broke the tooth, "USE?!" She demanded with fury, "What do you take her for?"
"Inferior race, but still a smart woman. If the rest of the human race are little rats then she is a cunning cat and she's a cute one to boot. Here she gets food and shelter, and we buy her all the clothes she wants. As long as she lives, she will have nothing to worry about. As long as she keeps drawing maps for me, it's all good. She will forever be my TOOL! No, my friend." He said cruelly with bloodlust in his eyes. The slim human girl was going to die in the most agonizing way possible. There was no way she could compete with him.
Luffyko looked around the room then attacked, knocking out the walls and destroying anything in the room. Arlong stood over her glaring at her, "Why you, what are you doing?!" When she didn't he swung at her, "Stop it!" However, as he swung down she dodged leaving only a stack of his precious maps being cut in two. "The maps!" Luffyko took the chance to kick an entire stack out through the wall making Arlong furious, "My sea maps!" He finally grabbed the girl by the neck and pushed her against the wall, "Bitch! It took her eight years to draw those! And your destroying them! Along with my ambition!" Arlong watched as she continued to punch out and knock things out of the window. He grabbed her head and wisted and bit into her shoulder making her scream, "You've gone too far, rubber bitch."
Luffyko reached behind her and grabbed his nose with both hands as she felt his teeth sinking into her shoulder. His hands tightened on her side where she had been hit earlier and then felt her hair being pulled by his large hands. "I don't give a crap how great you mermen are…or what happens to your stupid maps! I may not understand the story around this…But now, I know what I've gotta do to help her!" She felt her hands being cut by his sharp nose before she forced his nose to the side, bending it into a ninety-degree angle. He let go of her and she backed up seeing him scream in pain. She looked at him in the floor and gave him a glare that made him freeze, "It's this room. I can't let it exsit. This room she doesn't want to be in. I'LL DESTROY IT ALL!" She kicked her leg up and yelled, "GUM GUM-"
"Impossible, Arlong Park will never be destroyed by the likes of you."
She turned and saw him attack when she screamed, "AXE!" As she brought her foot down she felt his teeth burn into her flesh as she lowered her foot onto him knocking him off of her and down to the ground floor of Arlong Park, splitting the park in half. She sat down when she looked up to see the Park begin to collapse. When the building finished it's collapse she crawled out and stood on top of the debris, "NAMI! YOU WILL ALWAYS BE MY FRIEND!" She screamed, hoping all of her feeling reached the girl she saw as her sister.
Nami felt the tears fall and she nodded, "Ya."
Everyone looked at Nami until Johnny whistled directing everyone's attention at him. When he noticed he blushed and shyly looked at the female captain, who's red vest had been torn into rags. Sanji gasped with delight then realized everyone else could see her assets as well. He began to take off his shirt before a blue button up was thrown on her. Zoro stood next to the captain and looked away as the villagers descended on her and began to toss her up into the air until they dropped her on her face. "Awesome!" She said laughing as she sat up giggling like carefree self.
Nami sighed at the girl and put the treasure hat back on her head. When Luffyko saw her she spun up and they gave each other a high five. Suddenly the marines appeared saying they would take all the money before Zoro appeared, "Don't try and ruin their mood when they are trying to celebrate." He threatened as he beat them all up so the girls could enjoy themselves. However, before they could leave Nami gave some parting justice to them for hurting her sister and destroying their mother's tangerine orchard. The marine's parting words were that they were going to be big for messing with him. "Did you hear that, he said we are going to be big."
Luffyko watched after him with surprise, "How'd he know I'm going to be the Pirate King?"
