I've decided I wont do many fight scenes and the ones I will do wont be tto descriptive because of story issues and because most fight scenes will remain the same. There will be some that will change a bit or change completely but it will all be to make the story function better with the Canon story line.

Sea Restaurant Baratie & A Proper Cook
{No POV}
After Mia woke up the Straw Hats headed to the restaurant from the previous day and ate breakfast.
"Hey Captain?" Mia suddenly brought up.
"Yeah?" Answered Luffy as he stuffed his face.
"I just realized... We'll need a cook before setting sail for the Grand Line." Mia said.
"You thought so too?" Spoke up Nami.
"Well yeah, even if we do manage to get a ship, on the GrandLine a pirate could die from starvation or malnourishment or diseases like scurvy without a proper Cook to make sure they get fed properly and don't catch any food related diseases. I'm not good at chores of any kind, especially not cooking. And Zoro and Luffy, I'm sure they don't even know how to cook if they even know what cooking is. And you, well I know for a fact you'd never do it for free." Said Mia seriously.
They all thought about it and admitted that she was right.
"Well, first things first, we need to get a proper ship and then we can worry about a cook." Said Luffy.
They all nodded and finished eating as they went to leave, Kaya walked in smiling happily and guided them to a surprise.
As they looked at the ship they all fell in love with it.
When Usopp fell and was stopped by Zoro and Luffy they then boarded the ship and had him get on board already. As they already considered him a crew member.
Soon they set sail gathering in the kitchen celebrating in peace their new ship and crew member until Nami brought up their earlier conversation.
So they decided to set sail until they reached another Island where they could get a cook.
[For the fact that I frankly don't care about it, I'll be skipping the Gaimon Arc.]
- And then!-
After finally being near a rock formation that Luffy and Usopp could use to test out their cannon, Mia put away her new book and stretched properly before beginning to train on deck with her swords and when she went to train a bit more with hand to hand combat Nami approached and asked for Mia to teach her hand to hand combat.
After awhile Johnny of the Bounty Huntinv Duo Yosaku and Johnny boarded their ship and started to go crazy before Luffy beat him easily.
Usopp immediately got to work repairing the damage to the Going Merry.
Zoro having woken up introduced the others on the ship to Johnny and after Johnny explained that Yosaku had been ill and they had been on the rock formation of an island so he could recover Mia and Zoro told him to bring him aboard the ship.
Once Yosaku was brought aboard Mia growled in annoyment and hit Johnny on the head with a strong left.
"You dumbass! He could die if left untreated by a doctor! You should've taken him to the nearest doctor immediately after he collapsed!" Mia scolded viciously.
"What's wrong with him?" Questioned Zoro.
"He's got scurvy by the looks of it." Nami answered in Mia's stead as the latter ordered Usopp and Luffy to bring a barrel of limes out from the kitchen.
"What's Scurvy?" Questioned Zoro.
"Moron!" Exclaimed Nami hitting him upside the head.
"Scurvy is a nasty disease that kills sailors when they don't get enough Vitamin C! It was huge problem for sailors of all kinds until shipwrights found ways to refrigerate and store food on ships so that sailors would be able to properly nourish themselves." Explained Nami.
The other three exclaimed in shock until Mia glared at them all.
"Can't you all shut up and leave me with the patient already?! I have to check his wounds for infection and treat his Scurvy!" Scolded Mia iciously scaring them to the other side of the deck.
"Will Yosaku be alright Big Sister Mia?" Questioned Johnny softly after Mia finished feeding him the juice from the limes and cleaning and treating his wounds.
Mia sighed.
"I've done all that I could, but he needs rest. Plenty of it. He'll awake soon, but his body needs time to heal and recover from the Scurvy and the wounds. However if he doesn't show any sign of having fully recovered in four days from the Scurvy you'll need to take him to a proper hospital." Said Mia standing up and walking up to Johnny affer pulling out a small jar of liquid medicine.
"One spoonful of this with each medicine should help soothe the pain and avoid infenction as well as relapse as I infused some lime juice from the limes into it earlier. There should be enough to last the necessary four days of medicine possibly up to six days which should be just enough to get him through a trip to a proper doctor should he need it." Said Mia handing him the bottle of medicine.
Johnny then cried as he gently and carefully took the bottle.
"Thank you Big Sis Mia!" He thanked while blubbering like a baby.
Mia sighed in awkward annoyance and turned away with only a nod as indication that she heard which made Johnny stop crying as curiosity took over as she walked back into the women's quarters claiming quietly she needed a nap.
"Is Big Sis Mia okay?" Johnny asked.
Luffy smiled at him brightly.
"Nah. She's just not used to being thanked is all. She apprecimates the sentawhatsit." Said Luffy happily.
"It's sentiment not sentawhatsit and it's not apprecimates its appreciates! Learn to say it dumbass!" Nami scolded.
Then the conversation turned to their need for a cook as soon as Yosaku awoke.
"Then we know just the place you should visit! Head north northeast! To the floating sea restaurant! Baratie!" Announced Johnny.
Soon they all turned the ships course to the Baratie until Mia suddenly came out and knocked out Yosaku with a very harsh glare on her face.
"Who the hell said he could be up and about?! If he doesn't fall asleep like a good little weirdo I'll be forced to induce a coma and I'm all out of that type of medicine! This is my final warning." She said revealing that she was still half asleep as she fell backwards and slept once more.
"... Don't drink up all the sake... Mosshead...Witch...I want some too damnit..." She muttered in her sleep.
Irked but knowing better by now than to wake her, they went to blow of steam by training separately as Luffy carried the girl back to her bed in the Women's Quarters.
Once she was safely tucked back in, he went back out onto the deck to see they were close to the Baratie and a Marine ship was sailing next to them. After carefully divertig the canon so that the blast wouldn't wake Mia it was too late as he noticed the canonball hit the restaurant.
Soon after seeing Sanji and meeting him while Luffy got stuck doing chores. Mia woke up and went inside just as Gin was talking with Patty of the restaurant.
When Patty was about to kick him out Mia put some money on Gin's table by his feet and glared at Gin.
"This isn't a damned sleazy pub! Feet off the table and if I see you so much as attack one of the people in this place..." She said pausing calling the man's attention to her fiercest glare yet and the sword she now had pointed at his throat dangerously close to stabbing him.
"...and I'll butcher you where you stand... got that?" She said viciously making her tone as cold as the aura now surrounding her making the man fear for his life as he passionately nodded and put his feet off the table.
"Go get him some food sir. He will behave. And if he doesn't i'll end his life." She said so sweetly it made people feel bad for the guy.
Then Patty went and made him some food as Mia sat down at the table her friends were at.
"So, you guys order yet? I'm starving to hell and back." Said Mia before her stomach growled loudly.
Sanji quickly brought her some food fasning over her and Nami.
"Here you are Pretty Ladies! Please eat to your heart's contents!" Sanji said being his usual self.
"Thank you... this all looks absolutely amazing but..." Nami said leaving Mia to take over.
"... it's just a little bit too pricy for us..."Mia said playing along.
"I'd really be super greatful if you could help us and our friends out...We've traveled a long way but lost a lot of money resupplying." Said Mia petting Sanji's cheek making quick work of the guy's heart!
"Of course! I would be delighted to help you guys! Please enjoy your meals! On the house for you two and your friends." Said Sanji in overdrive of his love cook mode.
"Thank you so much Sanji... Please, don't hesitate to come to me if you ever need any help..." Mia said giving a winning sweetheart smile.
Making all the men except for those in her crew swoon and even all the women present.
"Of course, Miss~" Began Sanji.
"I'm Mia. This is Nami... It's a pleasure to meet you..." Said Mia sweetly.
Again a lot of swooning.
"Of course! I'll be right back with your orders Mia-swama, Nami-swan~! Others." He said quickly rushing to the kitchen to get the food.
"Well, it seems you have a fan. Thanks for including us Mia." Said Zoro with a smirk.
"Only for now, I get the feeling eventually he'll only flirt occaisonally and will instead mainly only pamper someone else. We will need someone that can clean. And another girl would even us out properly." Said Mia calmly as she pulled out a book and drained her wine glass in one go.
After which, Sanji came back with Luffy pushing a cart at his side.
"Here you are Nami-swan, Mia-swama~! Others." Said Sanji placing all the food in the cart on their table.
Then Mia downed all her food in the blink of an eye and smiled at Sanji.
"Say Sanji-san?" She asked.
"Yes, Mia-swama?" He asked with heart eyes.
"I've always been super curious to see what it's like to be a waitress and well...I was wondering if you would let me waitress for the restaurant for a while so I can finish my research on restaurant culture... Would you mind?" Asked Mia petting Sanji's chin.
"Of course not Mia-swama! Please! Feel free to waitress all you like! I'll go get you an apron!" Sanji said with hearts for eyes.
Then Mia stopped him by raising her hand slightly.
"No need! I prepared before leaving the ship." She said taking off her cloak.
After it was off everyone noticed she was wearing a mid-thigh length purple dress with a corset style stomach area showing off her curves. An apron tied to her waist in white with white thigh highs adorning her shapely legs her swords still at her waist. Her breasts which were fairly noticeable as they were D-Cups by the looks of it with the v neck sweetheart cut of the dress. A black leather jacket completing the look.
"Woah..." Everyone exclaimed at the sight as she pulled out a notepad and pen from between her breasts thanking Sanji briefly before heading to tabe where the customers had put their menus down and jumping into a type of "epic waitress mode" instantly.
- And Then! -
[Brought to you by Expert Waitressing from Mia.]
After Kried was fed and threatened to take over the restaurant as his vessel once he fed his men, Mia was fucking pissed.
She was so fucking pissed she went to the women's restroom and shouted out several profanities which resounded loudly along with the sound of her stomping in a pace.
Then after a few moments of silence she came with a smile that spoke of danger if anyone were to make one wrong move.
Of course Krieg had to be the one to make the wrong move.
"What's the little brat so pissed about? Shouldn't she be at daycare or something?!" Said Krieg to Gin who began to tremble in fear for his life signaling Krieg to shut the hell up.
Then Mia turned to Luffy with her hair shadowing her eyes.
"Captain?" She asked.
"Y-yes Mia?" Asked Luffy concerned for his own well being.
"Did that old wrinkly son of a fucking whore faggot just call me, and I quote, "little brat" and say "shouldn't she be at daycare or something" right in front of me?" Mia asked her voice and tone dangerously quiet.
"U-um...I..think so?" Said Luffy.
"I see..." Mia said before everything went quiet for several moments as Krieg left to go feed his men.
Then Mira looked up with Murderous Intent glinting dangerously in her eyes as she turned to look at Zoro.
"Zoro" She spoke up.
"Y-yes?" Answered Zoro concerned.
Mia smiled slightly more at ease but still surrounded by an aura of imminent death.
"Please knock me out cold... I'm sad to say, If I don't sleep this anger off, I might just kill people." Said Mia.
Zoro sighed and relented punching her in the head just enough to knock her out but not enough to hurt her.
Then he handed her to Sanji.
"Could you lay her down somewhere safe so she can sleep? She should wake up in about an hour unless we need her to wake up to take care of us. In which case she'll wake up easily." Zoro said seriously.
"Will you need any help with these bozos Captain?" Asked Zoro.
Luffy was about to answer when Johnny and Yosaku rushed in and informed them of Nami taking off on the Going Merry.
Soon after Hawk Eye Mihawk came into the scene as they were all outside and Zoro and him fought. Zoro then defeated fell into the ocean only for Johnny and Usopp to save him and for Yosaku to quickly go and wake Mia. Once she was awake and caught up she headed immediately to Zoro's aid. Noticing the far too large cut she immediately got to work performing surgery on him with the help of Usopp, Johnny and Yosaku.
"What are they doing over there?" Questioned Sanji outloud pensively as he looked over at where Mia and the three guys were currently at with the injured Zoro who was now out cold.
"Johnny, hold him steady, Yosaku clean his body of salt water and my forehead of sweat! Usopp, move this boat gently and carefully to a safer place! I have to perform surgery or we'll loose him!" Mia could be heard saying.
"He'll live. His will is too strong for him not too. Though he is luckier you have a doctor with surgical knowledge in your crew. What is your ambition boy?"
"To be King of The Pirates!" Luffy answered with conviction.
"Yours' loftier than that of your comrade! Regardless I shall see you both again someday..." Mihawk answered before leaving.
Then Luffy began to fight Krieg while Mia worked steadily on the surgery a ways away. Fear glinting blatantly in her eyes as she worked.
"Are you alright Big Sis Mia?" Asked Johnny quietly.
Mia nodded shakily.
"Yes, I just can't stand performing surgery. I don't have the stomach for being a surgeon. Doctor for a while? Easy. Surgeon? Not so much." She answered truthfully stil fully focused on making sure to work properly on her patient.
Then a while later she was done closing the outer wound and immediately medicated Zoro and ran off into the restaurant bathroom and puking her guts out.
The sounds of her puking could be heard by everyone outside and they couldn't help but be concerned.
"Is she alright?" Questioned Krieg both grossed out and slightly worried by the abnormal amount of times the woman was puking.
"She's alright...She just can't stomach surgical work well... Now pay more attention to our fight!" Luffy answered.
Everyone else sighed in relief while the two continued to fight.
Pearl and Gin coming into play and everyone soon forgetting all about Mia except Zeref.
That is, until she kicked Gin in the balls so hard he was knocked out cold. Then she grabbed Gin's weapons easily from his body and threw them all into the ocean effortlessly.
"I hope that will cover the damage I just caused to one of your bathroom mirrors Owner Zeff..." She said gently helping the man up from the ground.
"That should cover it just fine Missy, four of your friends are leaving and one of them is fighting Don Krieg you should try and help your Captain shouldn't you?" Zeff answered with a kind smile.
Mia smirked widely.
"No way, if I helped the Captain right now, I'd be chewed out for sure later. The Captain can take this guy all on his own. I'll just stick around in case he falls into the ocean and so I can patch him up once he's done. For now, if you don't mind, I'd like to examine you for injuries. And then I'll treat Sanji once he finishes up his fight." Said Mia kindly.
They headed to the dining room of the restaurant and Mia checked Zeff over and patched up the injuries and applied some topical cream she made on the spot on his bruises.
"There. All done. The bruises should heal by tomorrow with the help of that salve I applied on them. I patched up your forehead, but I'd be careful for the next few days just in case you ended up with a concussion. Let me go get Sanji and check him over. For the meantime, take it easy sir." Said Mia to Zeff with a doctor's smile.
Zeff nodded gratefully and thanked her kindly.
Then Mia went outside only to find Gin with another weapon fighting with Sanji.
She immediately did a one eighty into her vicious doctor mode and knocked Gin, who had been crying out he couldnt kill Sanji, out cold.
"What did I say imbecile!" Scolded Mia.
Then she turned to Sanji and helped him sit up against the wall of the entryway. Same as she then did with Gin.
After she put them away from the battle Krieg fired the MH-5 Poison Gas Bomb. Gin threw away his mask to Luffy only to be raised into the highest balcony of the restaurant by Mia's water arm that stretched itself in such away around his body it protected him from the gas. The rest of her body having already been turned into water beforehand, she was protected too.
When the gas cleared Krieg stared at her in shock just like everyone else except Luffy and Zeff did.
"Nice Work protecting Gin, Mia! I'll be done soon, don't you worry." Said Luffy proud of his nakama.
Mia smirked as she turned back to normal after setting Gin down gently and carefully.
"It was no big deal Captain. You just focus on kicking that bastard's ass already. I'll work on patching up our new cook." Said Mia nonchalantly as she picked up Sanji bridal style as if he weighed nothing and took him inside pausing only momentarily and turning to Patty and Carne.
"You two! Come with me! I'll need help to set his broken bones!" Said Mia commanding them with a glare.
The two cooks immediately followed her in.
Mia then quickly instructs them to hold him down after stripping off the top half of Sanji's clothes and preparing the improvised stints. Then she set the stints causing Sanji to scream in pain.
"Shut your trap Sanji! Stop screaming or you'll make it worse!" She said bandaging up his chest having set the stints on Sanji.
"DAMN SON OF A BASTARD! JUST STOP THE PAIN DAMN IT!" Shouted Sanji before Mia suddenly stabbed a needle into his shoulder sedating him and medicating the pain all at once.
"I SAID TO SHUT THE HELL UP!" She shouted annoyed.
"Sanji!" Shouted the two cooks in fear before Mia caught her breath and sighed putting away her supplies save for the salve.
"Relax you two. He's just under the effect of Sedatives and very strong pain medication. Now hold him steady. I have to put the salve on his bruises now. His body will naturally try and react against it but he needs the salve for his bruises to heal." Said Mia calmly.
The two nodded hesitantly and continued to hold Sanji's body steady as Mia negan to gently and carefully apply the strange salve onto the bruises on Sanji's body.
When she was done she sighed and wiped away some blood from his forehead gently and carefully all the while checking his head for injuries finding a few and quickly patching him up.
Once finished tending to him she signalled the men to let go.
Zeff then came in.
"Hey girlie! You should go save your Captain he fell into the ocean. He can't swim right?" Said Zeff.
Mia smiled bowing in thanks and walked outside taking off her purple heels along the way and diving in soon resurfacing in her waterform throwing herself and luffy up into the air towards the fin with her now in human form as she broke out of the water.
When she landed, she landed on all four coughing up blood and water causing everyone to notice that she now sported a large cut on her stomach right below her breast. She then flopped around carelessly, panting for breath as she weakly punched Luffy in the head.
"You idiot Captain...You overdid it..." She said before falling asleep as her cut suddenly healed perfecly as if it was never there.
Later _
Luffy woke up with a start accidentally rustling the bed causing Mia to stir but thankfully not awake.
He searched for his heat only for Sanji to pass it to him signaling to quiet down.
Soon after being caught up to what happened after her plummeted to the bottom of the ocean. Luffy smiled at Mia's sleeping form in gratitude.
"So how did you get a lovely lady like Mia to join your crew?" Asked Sanji after some conversation as they headed to the restaurant's dining room.
"We met back in our hometown Fuschia Villege. We were the only people in the tavern except the mayor, when the mayor talked to her saying that what she was planning on doing was a waste of prodiguous skills. So-" Said Luffy before the now awake Mia chimed in.
"So he asked me if I really had great skills and I told him my skills. He grew excited and asked me if I'd join his pirate crew. So I thought it over, didn't see a problem with it, and agreed to join on the condition that i'm only temporarily a doctor until we find a proper one and that I can remain a crew member as a permanent researcher. He agreed and the journey began." Said Mia with a nostalgic smile.
Luffy jumped onto her and hugged her as if they were siblings.
"MIA!" He exclaimed happily.
"Calm down Luffy! I'm still pretty drained from the prolonged time in the ocean... Take it easy on me okay?" Said Mia with a slight grimace making Luffy quickly release her and check her over for any injury.
Sighing in relief when he realized she was alright physically.
With Luffy settled down they headed into the dining room where all the cooks were harsh and did their bit while Luffy and Mia just observed and ate plates upon plates of food quietly and rather quickly. When Sanji ran off they tried and speak to them about dragging Sanji of with them to the Grandline but were shot down by Luffy and ignored by the now currently sake-chugging Mia.
When she finished the barrel she threw it into her pile of now 6 empty barrels and smiled lazily before laughing at thier shocked expressions now currently buzzed.
"You...you guys... should... should see your... pft...face..faces!" She struggled out in her laughing fit.
Then Sanji flew in a shark with Yosaku in it's mouth landing on top of him before he kicked the shark unconscious causing it to release the crying Yosaku.
Soon after recovering from the pain thanks to the medical care of a slightly buzzed Mia, he explained why he had come back and where Nami was headed. Which caused Mia to return to normal instantly.
"Did you say she's headed towards Arlong Park?" She asked carefully.
Yosaku nodded.
"Those are bad news for certain... But we must deal with the situation regardless. We must retrieve our Navigator." Said Mia carefully.
Luffy nodded and agreed.
"Wait. I'll go with you. I'll be the cook for your crew. Now is as good a time as any to go out to reach my dream. So I might as well go. I mean I might as well get away from these fools' terrible acting before it gets contagious." Said Sanji.
"That's great and all... But we don't have a boat." Said Mia.
"We can just take mine." Said Sanji.
And like that, they soon found themselves heading to Arlong Park to get Nami back.
Yosaku whined about them being suicidal before Mia shut him up with a glare.
"I know very well about Fishmen and about what Arlong's Crews Capabilities and what they've managed. And I have told Luffy about it in the past sometime after we met Nami." Explained Mia to him.
"How do you know about Arlong, Big Sis Mia?" Asked Yosaku.
Mia sighed.
"Because of a particular strange ability I've had since I ate my devil fruit." She said pausing for a moment to steel herself. "When I meet new people and come into close contact with them I can see all the memories that have effected the course of their lives, as if I were just reading the ocean. I suppose a simple way of putting it is that I became capable of reading people like waves, currents and forms or bodies of water. I suspect it's because the human body IS in fact 60% water. And since my devil fruit has made me into a water woman, and has granted me control over the element of water. It grants me access into the human brain including memories since 73% of the brain is made of water. I don't use my devil fruit much since it's an extremely dangerous element to control. The slightest mistake or lack of control could spell death." Mia explained calmly.
"That is pretty dangerous since you control water you could easily suck out all the water from another living thing or increase the amount of water in another living things killing it almost instantly. You could also easily kill an enemy in many other ways." Said Sanji pensively.
"Well the good thing about me is that I don't have a profound hatred like Arlong and his crew do. Nami joined by force but she has a deep hatred of Fishmen because of the Arlong Pirates. Based on her memories alone I can tell they are certainly deadly people to fight. As for Arlong himself! I want to kill him for everything he's doon to Nami. The horrors she went through? I'm honestly unsure if I would have been able to push past most of them and keep living. I would've killed myself at some point." Mia admitted grimly.
"You never did tell me what some of those horrors were." Luffy piped up.
Mia looked hesitant before touching his shoulder and showing him. When she pulled her hand away Luffy's expression showed horror and rage.
Which was then followed by murderous intent.
"Arlong's a dead man!" He announced deadly serious.
Sanji asked to see and with some reluctance she showed both him and Yosaku, both morphing into wearing the same expression as Luffy.
"For now we must calm ourselves. We'll have our chances to gut him once we get to Nami's home island. We have to come up with a plan of strategy. We can't just jump in blindly and start taking them down one by one." Said Mia rationally although her tightly clenched fists and murderous expression screamed it was the very last thing she wished to do.
"I agree, we're talking about taking down people who are on average 10,000 times stronger physically than human and can breathe underwater. They won't be easy to beat, much less kill." Said Sanji reluctantly.
Luffy smirked at Mia.
"You have any ideas Mia?" Asked Luffy.
Mia smirked viciously suddenly pulling out a map of the very Island they were steadily fast approaching.
"Sanji-san? Could you please make some food for all of us. This will take a while." Asked Mia.
Sanji smiled and got to work.
Mia then turned her expression serious and turned to Luffy.
"I'll admit right now, our odds aren't very favorable. But still pretty good." Said Mia.
Luffy nodded signaling her to continue.
She pulled out schematics of Arlong park and set them aside.
"Knowing Zoro and Usopp, they've likely already started going crazy on them by now. Arlong will definitely be toughest to beat and for better odds, I'll remain on the sidelines to tend to injuries, wounds, and to help get you out of the water should the need arise. I'll probably work on taking down the underlings with you all handle the commanders excluding Nami of course." Explained Mia as Sanji set down food for all of them.
Luffy immediately begining to steal from the plate of Yosaku as Mia and Sanji effortlessly stopped him with only one hand.
"So when we get there only half of the small fry will be out of the way and the commanders will still be standing. Zoro can easily take down Hatchan the swordsman fishman commander. Usopp can handle Chu if he applies himself and actually tries, which knowing him he will because of his ambition to fulfll his dream. Meanwhile Sanji can take out Kuroobi who practices fishman karate. Of course it wont be easy. Knowing us, we'll probably find a way to make it more difficult. And Zoro hasn't properly healed yet so it's highly possible for him to collapse physically while he's fighting. Same goes for Sanji. His bones haven't had even remotely close to enough time to heal." Mia said.
"What would you say are our odds if anything goes wrong?" Asked Luffy.
"Speaking on realistic terms? About a 75% chance of victory. If we keep to the strategy I placed as closely as possible." Mia said.
"What's the chances we'll be killed?" Sanji asked.
"About 25%" Mia answered.
"I like those odds." Luffy and Sanji said.
Mia nodded. Just remember the strategy and that i'll be looming in the sidelines. If anything goes wrong in a way I'd need one of you to take my place, I'll switch out with you and take over your fight. But I do have one question Captain..."
"Yeah?"
"If it comes down to you being taken out of the fight for whatever reason and I can't go to your aid, may I take over your place?" Asked Mia darkly.
"What are your intentions?" Asked Luffy.
"I won't kill if you give me the order to, but I will seriously injure the opponent in retribution for Nami's suffering and your unfortunate circumstance you had to go through." Said Mia calmly.
Luffy nodded.
"Don't kill. It's too soon to call so much attention to ourselves the Marines probably know that we're the ones who murdered Buggy. We need to avoid having too many road blocks on our journey into the GrandLine. Besides it's pointless to kill someone when they could suffer more by living." Said Luffy.
Mia nodded.
"As you wish, Captain." She said.
This conversation of course made Yosaku finally realize that despite their kindness and friendliness their Pirates.
They aren't afraid to kill, not a single one of them. Not even Nami or Usopp.
Soon reaching land, speaking with Nojiko-about Nami's past save for Zoro Luffy and Mia, and of course dealing with Arlongs men, Luffy got stuck underwater with his feet still stuck to the ground he had grounded himself to for his Pinwheel attack. As Genzo and Nojiko went to Luffy's aid with Sanji, Zoro was moved out of the way by Mia carefully and set somewhere where he was less likely to be further injured.
"Say what's a pretty young woman like yourself doing taking the place of the men? Run along sweetheart! I got humans to kill." Said Arlong viciously and cockily.
Mia then let her expression show her truest anger yet as she turned to water.
"I'm here to take you down in the stead of my Captain, for Nami's sake." Mia said coldly and plainly.
"What?" Questioned Arlong still in shock.
Before he knew it though she turned back to her human form after having scanned him over and her hands above the water behind her. She willed it up and combined two very small orbs into one small orb of water and before he could blink paced it on his gills.
He was confused.
"Just how is that supposed to take me down exactly?" Said Arlong cockily.
Mia smirked before curling her finger towards herself.
Suddenly Arlong began to writhe in pain before shakily standing up on wobbly legs.
"What the hell did you just me?!" He asked in shock and anger.
Mia smirked.
"Take a guess." She said calmly.
Arlonge then jumped into the sea and attempted to attack him with 'Shark On Darts!' Which failed as she easily dodged and retaliated with a simple kick to the face that sent him into the wall of Arlong park with a now broken nose. Then turned the tip of one of her fingers intoa drop of water and faced the now standing Arlong with an evil smile that made the villagers and Nami tremble at the sight with Usopp.
"How about we play a little game of our own? On your preferred terms."
"What the hell are you talking about?"
"The game is simple enough. We'll have a death match in the water. As you can tell, i'm a devil fruit user. Even if my fruit is the Mizu Mizu No Mi, I can only last a certain amount of time in my human form underwater before my body is rejected by the sea and I'm forced to either turn into my water form, or swim up for air. I'm nothing but an adventurous researcher so i'm quite interested in testing my mettle against a fishman underwater in my normal human body. I'll even leave my swords and weapons on dry land." She said calmly.
"Is she insane?" Questioned the villagers in total shock.
"What's the catch?" Asked Arlong knowing better than to trust the word of her opponent.
"No catch. We'll stay strictly underwater until one of us knocks out their opponent in battle. I'm not allowed to kill you but Captain never said I couldn't make you suffer while he's freed." Mia said boredly.
"Alright. I don't see a down side for me here. What is the down side for me girl? I'm stronger when i'm in the water. Meanwhile your puny human lungs can only handle so muh before they collapse." Arlong said.
"As I said, i'm proposing a game on your preferred terms. As I have it, you prefer to defeat your enemies in ways that you're almost completely if not completely guaranteed an easy victory. Am I incorrect?" Mia asked honestly confused.
"No. You aren't wrong. I just understand why you'd so easily propose such a game when you will likely loose." Spoke Arlong confused but suspicious.
Mia smirked.
"Because it's not my task to bring you down once and for all and I have been dreadfully bored lately." Said Mia honestly making everyone listening and watching her sweat drop at the explanation.
"Your an interesting girl I'll give you that much." Arlong said accepting to play the game both of them jumping into the water at the same time.
Sanji quickly breaking the stone holding Luffy's body underwater and quickly fleeing hesitantly.
Mia and Arlong then began a stand still for the next five minutes before Arlong came at her only to cough up blood as she curled her finger towards herself once more. The blood floating up and staining the pool red as it was a large amount.
"Well this was a waste of time." Said Mia as she effortlessly punched Arlong out of the water and onto land before turning to water and shooting herself up onto dry land.
She turned to Luffy who was smiling at her gratefully.
"Thanks for buying me time, Mia!" Luffy said sincerely.
"No problem Captain, I just hope I didn't kill him...I tried to decrease the amount of the water as little as possible while facing him. But with a fishman it's hard to tell how much is too much." Mia answered walking over to Zoro.
"Let's find out!" Luffy said before using a side ways battle axe attack to send Arlong into the depths of Arlong Park.
Then him and Arlong began to fight as Mia got to Zoro and Sanji quickly going into her Witch Doctor Mode scaring the villagers as she carried them like sacks of potatoes to a safe distance from the battle.
The doctor of the village quickly at her side to aid her in tending to her friends.
"What can I do to help?" Asked the doctor.
Mia smirked. "Hold them down for me!" She said before getting to work having a angry shouting match with Zoro and Sanji as she stitched up Zoro and set Sanji's bones.
After a while the fighting was over and Arlong Park fell.
Soon celebration ensued for the following 3 Days once mia beat up the Marines that tried to worm into the scene because they had been causing too much noice when her patients need to rest.
After making a grand exit, Nami set off as an official member of the Straw Hat Pirates.

Nami had long since their departure stashed away her treasure and was now begining to tend to her tangerine trees with a happy smile for the day with Mia nearby reading a book from a huge stack of books on the floor next to her.
Mia was currently sitting at a lounge chair, Zoro not far away sleeping peacefully so that his wound can continue healing properly.
Sanji however was holed up in the kitchen cooking their breakfast.
Luffy was currently playing cards with Usopp.
The newspaper arrived and Nami of course argued over the price calling attention to herself.
As Nami read the paper, two posters fell out.
"EH?!"
They all exclaimed.
