"Shhh… he's coming."
Hody walked into the gang's lair, anticipating a surprise. It was his birthday after all, and his crew had promised him something special. He deserved it. He'd been working hard to get into Arlong's crew. Even though he was still 'too young' he wanted to be ready for when he was old enough. That stupid Jinbei could keep his human-loving Sun Pirates. Hody knew that fishmen were the superior race, and that was all there was to it. Arlong would guarantee him power over all those filthy humans.
"Surprise!" yelled his friends, jumping out from their hiding places. The lights slowly flickered on, as they tended to do in the Fishman District. The room looked really nice in Hody's opinion. Seaweed lined the walls, acting as streamers. And there were pictures of bubbles hanging from the ceiling since they didn't have enough money for real Bubbly Coral pieces. It might have been considered pathetic to others, but to Hody, who grew up in poverty, it was a lot.
"Happy Birthday!" said Daruma, offering him a snail shell as a party hat. It didn't have a string attached it it, so Hody had to balance it carefully on his head.
"Thank you guys!" said Hody.
"Do you like it?" asked Zeo nervously.
"Are you kidding?" said Hody, "It's awesome! Seriously, thank you!"
"We made some cake-much," said Ikaros, heading to the table in the middle of the room. Ikaros picked up the rice cakes topped with bits of fish, and handed them out to everyone.
"To another great year!" said Hody, raising his cake in the air.
"Cheers!" said the gang, tapping the cakes together. But just as they were about to eat them, a group of humans broke down their door, brandishing guns and swords. The tall, dark-haired human leading them clucked his tongue and sighed.
"No mermaids here either," he said, sheathing his blade, "Damn. We've been running around this place for hours. I'm starving."
The leader eyed Hody and his friends' rice cakes.
"Those'll do," he said, snatching the cake out of Hody's hand.
"What the hell do you think you're doing?" said Hody through gritted teeth.
"Oh calm down!" said the man, taking a bite, "It's only a rice cake! You can just buy more! Blech! These aren't even that good!"
"Hody, no," said Hyouzou, putting a hand on Hody's shoulder. Hody ripped away from Hyouzou's grip, and lunged at the man, toppling him to the ground. 20, 30,40 times he could've hit the man; Hody had stopped counting at 10. He didn't even know, or care, if the man was already dead. He just kept pounding away at the man till his face was a bloody pulp.
He could hear the distant cries of his friends to stop, but he didn't care. He heard the screams of the man's group, but it only encouraged him. This pathetic excuse for a living organism had insulted him and his friends. Not only that, but they were slave sellers; the worst kind of human scum. This corrupted man deserved no respect.
