I apologise for misspellings and Grammer errors.
Everyone took a break for 2 hours, they either relaxed on the beach or trained. They later went back to the theatre where joanne is there, "the girls are cooking a feast for when don Craig gets to baratie." She explained.
The scene starts with Luffy showing the straw hat flag he drew himself... Mirio founds it hilarious, "the flag should be scary after all." He said.
"If our enemy were terrified infants then this would be perfect." Nami said looking at it sarcastically.
Almost everyone burst out laughing, "well... It's not like you can't get attention from that." Hawks covered his mouth.
"They're more likely be confused than scared." Tokoyami said.
"It needs to be fierce and say pirate!" Dark shadow said.
Usopp bragged about being an artist for 50 yrs straight, "wow! So you already have grandkids right?" Mirio teases.
Almost everyone burst out laughing, "seriously? 50 yrs? Make a better lie Usopp." Fatgum chuckles.
"Yeah, because you look quite young over 50!" Midnight cackles.
Both zoro and nami knows Usopp is lying, that is a very terrible lie. Usopp painted the flag, "Looks an awful lot like you on that flag." Luffy scowled as both he and Zoro gave him a hard punch to the head, "JERK!"
"Seriously!? I'm the captain! Not you!" Mirio scolded.
"Why does Usopp keep doing that?" Monoma asked getting irritated by Usopp's ego.
"I think it's a coping mechanism, he's out at sea and thinking about home. He's distracting himself with his ego." Joanne suggested.
The scene changes to Luffy using the canons, but missed that small land mass. Usopp took over and has great aim, then the scene changes to when they met jhonny and they helped him and yosaku. "... Oh, sorry." Mirio said sincerely.
"I really question their knowledge, they should know that they would get scurvy." Recovery girl said.
"Well they are the hopeless bounty hunters." Joanne said.
"The title itself concerns me." Kendo said.
So Luffy agrees the crew needs a chef next, jhonny mentions their ship is on the right course. The baratie is a sea restaurants full of chefs, Luffy may find a cook willing to work for the pirate. He also mentioned mihawk has been sighted near the grand line and is heading towards east blue, but it's only a rumour so he's not sure. But zoro sure looks excited, the scene skips to baratie. The straw hats are impressed, "talk about a sea restaurant, their cuisine must be the epicenter of the ocean." Mirio joked.
"That was terrible." Shoda said.
"And we're going to listen to this... Great..." Jozu sighed.
But as they neared the restaurant, there were loud bells and honking noises from behind them and everyone turned to see a large Marine ship sailing towards them, "Hey Luffy." Usopp asked in hushed tones, "You don't think they're gonna fire on us are they?"
"But we just started, all we did was beat up Morgan, punch the mayor of orange town and made sure geko town is in one piece. We don't have any bounties yet." Mirio listed.
"True, but most of their deeds are quit heroic." All might said.
"Morgan was abusing his power, the marines are actually thankful for what Luffy did." Sen said.
"Buggy attacked orange town, Luffy didn't have a choice but to knock out mayor poodle." Awase said.
"And Kuro's plan was thawrted by Luffy, zoro, namj and Usopp." Rin said.
The marine, Iron Fist Fullbody notices them and orders for their the captain to identify himself. Luffy stepped forward, "My name is Luffy!"
Almost immediately afterwards, Usopp also came forward and called. "My name's Usopp! Got it?"
Both mirio and Luffy gave the liar a slightly irritated look before he went out, "We've only made our pirate flag the day before yesterday!"
"That's right, Marine! And I drew it!"
This made the captain more annoyed, "maybe it was a mistake having him on board." Mirio mutters.
"Wow, Luffy doesn't look too happy. So is mirio-senpai." Bondo said.
"Well that marine asked for the captain to speak up, not Usopp of all people." Yui said.
"He's clearly inserting his dominance here." Reiko sighed.
Fullbody began sneering at them and recognizes the hopeless bounty hunters, but it seems that marine is on a date. And the bounty hunters hated being insulted and ignored, Fullbody ordered his men to sink them. Luffy defended the ship but in the process got him and the canon to redirect shot at the baratie.
Everyone winced knowing what is going to happen to Luffy.
Soon, a couple chefs had grabbed hold of Luffy and were now dragging him in by the scruff of his neck and thrown into the destroyed room, and at the feet of the one who had to be the head boss. He thought he cut his leg off from the blast, "that doesn't even look like a fresh injury." Mirio pointed out.
"Idiot!" Zeff yelled before he shoved his left foot right into Luffy's face, "don't worry." He slapped his knee, "you didn't do this to my leg." The captain was glad and thought they were good now but he is so wrong, he has to pay for the damages but since he has no money work for 10 yrs.
"No deal!" Luffy called out, dusting off his hat, and pulling himself out of the rubble. "I've waited ten long years to become a pirate! So I'm not gonna waste another year stuck in this restaurant, I'm gonna get you to let me off the hook in a week! That's my decision!" So the head chef suggested he cut his own leg off but he said no and got a beating.
"Wow! It's like those metaphors; it's gonna cost ya an arm and a leg!" Mirio laughs.
"Hey! I was thinking the same thing!"
"Too bad Luffy is so terrible at chores he'll stay longer causing them problems." Jurota sighed knowing this idiot is good at being a pirate, captain, fighting and adventure. Not chores.
They fought so rough, they crashed through the ceiling.
Everyone sweatdrop, 'so that's what happened...'
After zeff kick sanji, he kicked Fullbody much harder and told him to get out. While the chefs got into an argument, a marine officer charged in to tell his superior their prisoner escaped and got shot in the back by gin. Mirio watches sanji and the whole interaction, he followed the chef cooking food for gin not out of pity but empathy. Luffy decided to have sanji join his crew.
It is laughable watching this again.
The scene changes back to baratie where Luffy's crew are enjoying their meal while he is forced to work, but he is very terrible at chores. He causes more problems inside and outside the kitchen, the scene changes to when gin comes back with krieg who is begging for food. "I have a very bad feeling." Mirio said.
"That's because these pirate villains are nasty! Except gin, he deserves better." Hado pouted.
Mirio is right, after sanji fed him the don pirate ordered the chefs to cook for his crew and take the baratie. Before sanji is accused for working with krieg in secret, zeff comes out with a sack of food and willingly gives it to krieg for his men. "Tell me…" Zeff went on as he looked back at Krieg, "Did your will survive defeat?"
"He's basically calling out a coward." Manga said.
The don pirate finally realized zeff is red leg zeff, he believes the peg leg is the reason he retired. "I don't need to fight anymore." he said coolly, as he held up his hands, "I'm a cook, as long as I have my two hands I'll be fine. Now enough chit-chat, what do you want from me?" The don pirate wants his logbook since it records his time in the grand line, he'll use it to become pirate king.
The audience glared at krieg, katsuki, Izuku and mirio glared the harshest.
After their little argument, krieg left to feed his crew. Gin apologize, "Hey Gin!" Luffy suddenly called out, "You said you don't know anything about the Grand Line! I thought you'd been there! Doesn't make any sense." turns out the pirate crew chewed more than they thought, they were unprepared and got attacked by a single person.
"Yeah, a war lord." Hawks said picking his teeth.
Zeff knew who the person who attacked them, and Zoro is looking for this guy. Just then, outside they could hear the sounds of battle cries and knew that their time was up. The Krieg Pirates were all ready to go again, but then something happened… just when they start to attack the restaurant, the great galleon was suddenly cut in half creating a lot of disbelief on everyone's faces and even a mini tsunami. Everyone was rocked around inside the restaurant and they were all trying to find something to hold onto, Zeff ordered them to raise the anchor before the ship sank in the waves.
"Here we go again." Kamikiri said.
The 3 straw hats went to check their ship but found it missing and the hopeless bounty hunters in the water, turns out nami took their ship along with the treasure. "WHAT DID YOU SAY!?" Luffy, Zoro, mirio and Usopp yelled together in panic, "but why?!" Thankfully, the captain spotted it from afar. He ordered zoro, Usopp and the bounty hunters to use a small boat and go after them.
"Calm down." Zoro stated, as if he could care less. "Let her keep the ship. Trust me, that woman's way more trouble than she's worth."
"Seriously? I think zoro maybe more lazy than I thought?" Fatgum said.
"Or he has enough of nami." Ryukyu said.
Luffy frowned at him, "She's the only one I'll accept as the ship's navigator." he said firmly, and it was clear from this tone that he wasn't going to change his mind.
"Fine! I'll do it!" Zoro snapped in frustration, clearly unhappy. "You're one high maintenance captain, you know that."
"Well when Luffy is sure, he always sticks with it." Mirio said then had a thoughtful look, "most of the time."
"I should probably stick around here till I get things settled with the restaurant." Luffy said, jerking his thumb at the building. "you know what I mean?"
"Well, be careful." Zoro warned, a slight trace of worry in his face. "The situation here could get really bad really fast."
Straw hat nodded, "Yeah, got that right." But before the swordsman can even leave, mihawk arrived. He noticed his 1st mate froze in place, "Zoro, who's that?"
"The man I've been looking for..." He answered watching the warlord sail closer, "hawk-eye mihawk."
"Are those eyes genetic?" Hawks asked.
"Yes, according to history; the Dracule family are a generation of noble fighters. Trained in the art of swordsmanship and humility, their ancestors used to be celestial dragons who got tired of a lazy life style and cut all ties with them. They became a family both feared and respected but a danger to the world government since I believe one of his ancestors killed a world noble out of malice and stealing his bride to be." Anita explained as she and Joanne's friends came out with a ton of food, everyone began to eat and enjoy.
"I have to admit, the Dracule family sounds like people who write their own destiny." Momo said eating blueberry muffins and tea.
"Yes, but they can be good people according to their mood." Joanne said eating tokayaki.
"Besides, mihawk became a pirate because he doesn't like following authority." Vivi said enjoying spaghetti.
"So that's… Mihawk." Luffy said seriously.
"He's dangerous." Mirio also look serious.
"Yeah, the greatest swordsman." Zoro said, the chefs of baratie can't believe this guy sunk 50 battleships.
Zeff just stood there with his arms folded, "Hawk-Eye Mihawk is a true master, he is without a doubt the greatest swordsman in the world."
"Then zoro became the greatest." Katsuki grinned.
Zoro challenges Mihawk to a fight, mirio watches intently and worriedly. Both jhonny and Yosaku wanted to jump in for the insult on zoro but Luffy didn't let them, Luffy was shaking from where he stood, "Damn you!" he growled out, unable to sit still anymore. Stretching his arm out to the ship, he rocketed himself over to deal with Mihawk himself just as Johnny and Yosaku jumped in after Zoro. Luffy was gonna slam into Mihawk as he came flying right at him, but he moved out of the way just in time so that Luffy crashed into the side of the wreckage. "Are you that young warrior's comrade?" Mihawk questioned calmly when Luffy got his head stuck and was now attempting to pull it out. "I'm impressed with you for not interfering."
Everyone watches Luffy's point of view, he attacked mihawk but the war lord didn't attack him.
"There's nothing to be upset about." Hawk-Eye informed him calmly, "Your friend will live." And he is right, the bounty hunters got zoro up deck alive and breathing. Mihawk acknowledges him, he asked Luffy for his dream.
"To become the pirate king."
This made him smile, "Your ambitions are even loftier than your friend's." he informed him, "That's quite the task."
"Yeah, well you just let me worried about that." He said defiantly, and stuck his tongue out.
"So childish..." All might shakes his head.
That's when zoro made a vow to Luffy which had mirio in a proud grin, he instructed Usopp to go after nami. "Hey Pops!" He cried out, still hanging on the side of the Baratie. "Can I stop doing these chores if I get those pirates out of here?"
"Suit yourself." Zeff answered in a voice as if he couldn't care less.
"Ok pops, you promised me remember. If I run from those pirates off then my dept to you is clear no more chores."
"That's the deal." He confirmed with a nod, "There's no telling how much more of my restaurant you'll screw up if you stick around."
"That's true." Everyone agreed.
"So kid." The head chef said in interest, "You said you were gonna be King of the Pirates. Were you serious?"
"Well yeah, of course!" Luffy answered without a doubt in his mind, "I'm definitely gonna be the king of the pirates someday."
This made him smirk, "I've seen a whole lot of pirates in my day… but you're the first to state your desire so clearly and without a doubt."
"I heard, that back in the day, you were a pretty awesome pirate yourself. "So did you wanna be King of the Pirates too?"
He just looked up at the sky to see a seagull soaring above, "I do my best to forget about the past... I'm the owner of baratie now and that's quite enough for me."
This had the heroes thinking about the day if they can retire, that thoughtful look on zeff's face. All might and gran torino are deep in thought.
They watch sanji fight pearl and noticed how this pirate has a fear for blood, "I don't get it... Why have a crew mate who's afraid of blood?" Mirio asked.
"You know, in hindsight, krieg and his crew are better off dead in the grand line. They can't handle powerful foes with a crew like this, forget the number of the armada there are people with the power that can destroy a whole fleet." Monoma said.
"That's practically the smartest thing you've ever said." Kendo said.
"Hey!"
"But he has a point, krieg will likely save his own skin and leave his crew to die. Like buggy."
Sanji beat pearl and could have been killed by krieg if Luffy didn't intervined, but gin got zeff at gun point. Mirio growled as he watch sanji take a beating, after he explained his story about him and zeff, straw hat started damaging baratie because that's not what zeff wanted. Then he made a point that krieg's crew is weak, their only strength in numbers. "It's quality over quantity." The blonde hero said.
All the heroes agree, "true, when heroes create a team for a mission or to work together like the wild wild pussycats, it's more of the quality and benefits the heroes can bring." All might said.
"That's why the entrance exam for UA is not just showing off your quirks but how you qualify, the villain points are for those utilizing their quirks and the rescue points are for those who has the conviction of being a hero." Nezu drinks his tea.
"But not all quirks are flashy, if you're quirk isn't suited for combat, then you should have train your body to at least defend yourself. But that's what the sports festival holds, it's not just an opportunity to show people why your quirk can't work on a robot. But also to expel anyone from the hero course not putting any effort, that's why mineta will likely be expelled." Aizawa explained.
Gin could not bring himself to kill sanji after he was shown kindness, that made kreig disappointed in his 1st mate. Gin begs his captain to let the Baratie's ship go, "You little son of a bitch!" The Don yelled furiously as he stood up, "You think you can defy my orders and then tell me what to do?!" Gin could say nothing as tears continued to flow down his face, "It's pathetic. Morality, sympathy; weaknesses I never expected to see from you!"
"That's because you threw away the kindness people give to you! You jerk!" Toru shouted.
"Yeah! Sanji made you food and you spit on his kindness! Gin has more honor you weak coward!!" Mina joins in.
"And those aren't weakness, that's what makes you human." All might said.
"Your the weak ass who couldn't even go against a fucking warlord." Katsuki taunted.
"You have a weak armada, I bet he didn't even prepare for the grand line. With that many fleet of ships, he didn't even stand a chance and had to turn around with his tail tuck between his legs." Izuku taunted and almost everyone cheered.
"Nice burn, midobro!" Kirishima cheers.
"Yeah! He's gonna need alovera!" Tetsutetsu agrees.
Kreig practically kicks gin off his crew and prepares to use MH5.
They remembered in sanji's memories it's a poisonous gas.
"What's MH5?" Mirio asked.
"I think it's a poisonous gas." Luffy answered.
"When you don't hesitate to do unspeakable, horrible things…" Krieg stated, grinning ever wider. "that is true power."
Everyone glared at the screen, "no, that's what cowards do." All might remembers what all for one did to Nana, Gran Torino thought the same.
"That's what villains do." Sir nighteye snarled.
Luffy went to save gin, in return the former 1st mate had his gas mask on luffy. Kreig mocks them, straw hat vows he will give the don pirate a beating of a lifetime. He punched him right through the metal spikes, the spikes tearing his own fist open, and managed to strike Krieg dead in the face. The 2 duke it out, the Don pirates began to cheer for their captain but he shut them up. He never wants them to doubt him, he brings out his mighty battle spear. "There is no doubt that Krieg and his pirates are strong." Zeff continued one, "But Chore Boy has something they'll never have, Krieg may have more pirates at his command than anyone else before him… he may have terrible weapons of mass destruction to everything in his path… but he will never have that kid's heart."
Everyone smiled hearing that.
Luffy practically destroyed the spear by constant attacks on it, it destroyed itself. "You don't stand a chance boy!" he yelled down, "Real power comes from deadly weapons! They're the source of true strength!" he sneered, "See, only the strong are meant to live! And that's me!"
"Then why'd you ran away from the grand line!? Why'd you let mihawk go when he could have killed you!? You ain't worth shit!" Katsuki shouted.
"He's right! You resorted to tricks and lies to get what you want, your not strong! Your weak, all bark and a none lethal bite." Izuku said and everyone admitted, that was a good burn.
Luffy got stunned by kreig, but fought him back with gum gum bazooka. He won then hit the water, thankfully he was rescued and now on the Baratie. He listened to sanji's dream and smiled how he talks about all blue, the scene changed to when the chefs are trying to act like jerks to sanji so he can leave and fullfil his dream. There is a heart felt farewell and the 3 are off to nami, mirio laughs at luffy's drawing of a fishman.
"Not exactly what he draws, shroom." Komori giggles.
Then Mohmoo appeared, "awww, he's kinda cute." Mirio smiles until Luffy panicked and threw a punch at the poor thing, "luffy you can't just do that!"
"He was gonna eat me too!"
"You could have tame him the non violent way."
"There's a non violent way?"
Almost everyone face palm.
Now both luffy and sanji tame the sea cow in a violent way, "You guys are insane." Yosaku whispered, staring at them with admiration and horror.
"Yeah..." Many muttered.
They were headed to arlong park until Mohmoo turned away out of fear and crashed into the shore while the boat flies, mirio laughs in excitement. Then there's zoro...
Katsuki's eye twitch, that fucking idiot...
Then jhonny appeared with bad news about Usopp, "nami can't kill, she doesn't have the heart to do it." Mirio scolds, said girl reveals herself and admits she killed Usopp. 'she's lying.'
"She admits it too easily, making her look proud and evil. But in truth she doesn't want to drag them to her problems." Hawks observes.
"Maybe we should have lessons in how to spot lies or things that don't feel right." Snipe asked nezu.
"I'll consider that." The principal said.
Luffy feels sleepy and sleeps right there, nami got frustrated and left them. An argument woke him up and Usopp is alive but injured, "Usopp, buddy. Did nami do this to you?" Mirio asked.
"No, it was 2 idiots." Denki sighed.
Usopp told them what really happened, "so that's why her hand is injured." Mirio realized, then Nami's sister, Nojiko, appeared before them. She wanted to explain about her sister but luffy didn't care and went for a walk, while on his walk he met 2 fishmen.
"Hey, you there! Wait!" Hachi yelled to get his attention.
"You mean me?" He asked curiously.
"I don't think there's anybody there but you luffy." Sero said.
"Who are you?!" Hachi yelled at him, "And what are you doing on his island?!"
"Why? What does it matter to you?" Luffy asked back and the octopus fishman looked stumped by the question.
"Well..." He was struggling to find the words on what to say, "it's just that... We don't get many visitors."
"I think we all know why." Sato said.
"Oh." Luffy said, "Well, my name's Luffy. I'm just passing through."
"What?" Hachi repeated, sounding as if he never heard of such a thing before. "Passing through?" As straw hat turned and continued on, each of Hachi's arms pulled out six handkerchiefs and waved. "Well have a nice time!"
"Despite who hachi is working for, he is a gentleman." Yuga twinkled.
"Hey smartass!" the ray Fishman yelled out, "Where're you going?"
"Heck if I know?" Luffy answered back calmly.
"Luffy isn't the type to judge much, he's just very blunt. Ribbit, kinda like me." Tsuyu said.
"Blunt and rude many times." Kyoka said.
"But I guess that makes him unique." Ochako said.
Hachi laughed and folded his many arms, "He seems like he'd be a fun guy to have around."
"Yeah sure." the smelt-whiting with the long slips, "But who the hell is he?" The ray glared after him, "He walked right by us and wasn't even intimidated, never seen that before."
"I guess they never met any human who doesn't fear them, yes we are different. But our blood is red, were alive and we're allowed to feel different." Mirio smiled then slowly frowned because of how much fishmen suffered, but they were doing exactly what humans do. Degrade a species different from their own, instead of protecting and showing them fishmen can be kind, wise and good, their showing them their just like terrible pirates. Picking on the weak and ruining lives just like humans can do, they're just proving their no better than a human.
Luffy ended up on the edge of the village and saw a group of Marines closely following a man covered in scars and a spinning pinwheel on his hat, he is more focused on the pin wheel.
Both katsuki and izuku remembered luffy's new move while battling the fishmen, 'that idiot...' they both thought.
Then there was a commotion going on, Genzo explained what happened.
"Wait, they knew?" Momo asked.
"The village interrogated Nojiko about Nami's behavior, they acted cold towards her so she can focus on freeing the town. But since those marines didn't even arrest arlong, they've had enough. They should have known arlong has no honor." Diamond explained and many are furious about this, especially ochako. If this happened in her small town, she'd do the same.
"Arlong has been working with those damn marines!" Genzo told them all and the doctor looked up at him in outrage, "He's been lying to Nami for the last 8 years!" he explained, "He never intended to honor their agreement at all!"
"That Bastard!" a villager yelled out furiously; and soon there were shouts that were filled with anger and shock.
"Oh, no." a woman whispered, horrified at the thought. "That means…"
"That scoundrel, he lied to our Nami!" someone else shouted, but the orange head girl just carefully moved Nojiko's head from her lap as she got up, her fingers curling into tight fists.
"They really care for her." Tenya said, ochako started to have tears in her eyes. Getting homesick.
"Hey Nami." Luffy greeted happily, waving as he came up behind her. "What's up? Need help with anything?"
Instead of answering she turned and glared at him so fiercely that the smile was wiped off his face, her eyes weren't the cold ones she had seen before—they were full of rage that seemed to burn a hole in whatever she stared at. "Why are you still here?" she screamed at him as she grabbed him by the front of his shirt and pulled up to her face and continued to yell into his fearful face, "STAY OUT OF MY BUSINESS! JUST GET AWAY FROM OUR ISLAND!" Tears were beginning to burn and she then threw him down to the ground as she went running off before she lost all control.
"Where did she go?" Koda signed.
"She went to arlong for answers, she wanted to know if he is honorless. Even if she pays for her town to be free, she'll still work for him to protect her town. But he'd rather she'd be crippled and destroy her home, he only sees her as a tool. Just like kreig." Joanne explained and many are angry hearing this.
"They are no better than those world nobles." Tokoyami growled.
Luffy picked himself up from the ground and went towards a nearby tree and leaned up against it much like before, he was looking deeply annoyed as he muttered darkly. "What's her problem?"
"She's just upset, she'll come around." Mirio muttered, they continued to wait and saw the townfolks armed with clubs and homemade spears that were knives tied to staffs, Genzo is cheering them on to take up arms.
"8 long yrs ago," he started his speech, "we promised we wouldn't live our lives in vain! No matter the pain and humiliation we had to endure under arlong, we swore we would fight the long fight so nami could meet their demands! BUT THEY LIED!" He shouted out, getting them all riled up. "They never intended to keep their end of the deal! Instead they stole our only chance of freedom! So now..." His eyes are bloodshot, "we should make those filthy fishmen pay for the years they manipulated a kind young girl! Am I right!?" Everyone agreed and wish to avenge Nami's honor.
"As touching as it is, they stand no chance and are more likely to die." Aizawa said.
"They don't care, they've decided death is their only freedom. They can't endure this anymore, they'd rather nami leave the town or east blue to live her life than work for someone who has no honor." Joanne explained.
"Their all doing this for her..." Tamaki muttered and looked down.
"STOP!!!" Nami shouted, she ran towards them with a big forced smile. She looked like she was fighting back tears, "Calm down! It's not that much money! I can make it back in no time! I'll take care of it! Don't worry!"
"Nami..." Ochako began to cry.
'oh Lord, forgive this soul for she has sinned in the name to her dear love ones. Stealing is a sin but having no honor is the worse sin of all, she effortly fought for her town. Only to be betrayed by sinned fishmen, forgive thy soul who has suffered great hardship. I pray to thee oh Lord, amen.' ibara prays for nami.
"It'll be easy this time, I'm used to it! I'll be fine." Nami said, still in that fake confident voice that fooled no one. "Just relax, it'll be okay. Hey, it's nothing compared to back then…" she came in front of them, "Come on everyone… I'm perfectly fine."
"Nami... Your not fine... You've done enough..." Midnight said.
Genzo wasn't fooled as he walked to her and embraced her tightly, she stood there frozen as tears fell from his eyes. "You've done enough." he said softly but firmly, "You have to know that there's no point now, you've struggled so hard. Carrying our lives on your back this whole time, I can only imagine that joining them must've been more painful than getting stabbed in the heart. You fought very well…"
"She was forced to work with them because of her brilliant navigational skills, she wouldn't work for them willingly. They did kill her mother." Mezo said and tightened his fists in anger.
"Genzo…" Nami whispered in a broken voice as she also started to cry.
He pulled away, his hand firmly on her shoulder before he said. "Set yourself free from this village."
She looked horrified at those words and she cried out, unable to believe what he was saying. "Genzo!"
"Nami, do it!" Nojiko encouraged, now wearing a heavy bandage around her shoulder and arm.
"What? Nojiko!" She yelled as she looked around for some support, but it was clear from the rest of their faces that the entire town agreed.
It was truly a touching moment, Joanne is right. These people endured so much and watching their last hope crumbled... They've had enough, this made them remember the slaves and... Death is another way to freedom...
Nojiko gave her a brave look, no fear in her face as she said. "You're an exceptional young woman, and you have a dream."
"Everyone—listen!" Nami yelled desperately, still trying to stop them. "I won't let you go!" and to some surprise, she pulled out a knife and pointed it at them with shaking hands. "Just stay right there! I'm not going to let anyone else get hurt by these monsters!" Her eyes were pleading as she told them, "You'll all die."
"They'd rather embrace death than endure those fishmen anymore, they will die with honor and dignity." Tokoyami said.
"Since those marines won't help, they'll just fight till their dead." Dark shadow said.
"That's kinda morbid." Mashiruo commented.
"Actually, there's an alternate version if nami never met luffy. She does leave her town forever, the arlong pirates expand but got the attention of garp. When he finds out, he beats them all black and blue. He will be labeled a hero again, this gives the world government the leeway to stop all travels down to fishman island. All fishmen will be labeled criminals for such action, Jimbei will be ordered to be arrested and sent to impel down along with arlong. All fishmen are enemies to human, marines and world government. Their only freedom will be siding with pirates, and queen Otohime's dream has been destroyed. Thanks to arlong, although, he will have a public execution along with his fellow pirates. Jimbei will stay in impel down as a prisoner and example." Joanne explained and everyone is horrified by this alternate version, "but even the marines aren't out of the woods about this, there will be an open investigation why the marine assigned in that area didn't took action immediately. That marine will also be executed as an example how marine should not act, oh he pleaded and tried to blame someone else but they have proof of his insubordination. People will shout they want marines who are just like garp and smocker, there will be no choice but to re-evaluate all the marines. Sengoku will have to assign Fujitora to weed out those with ill-intentions and greed."
"And what about nami?" Setsuna asked.
"She has trust issues so it's hard for her to trust anyone, let them be civilian or marines. They may have avenged her town but she's very damaged thanks to arlong, she will never trust again and will be a capable burglar." Anita answered.
"We know that." Genzo told nami as he grabbed hold of the knife and gripped it so hard that he was starting to bleed.
She looked startled at that as the doctor also spoke up in a grim way, "Nami, it's no use, we've made up our minds."
Still crying, she shook her head, not wanting to do it but Genzo wasn't taking no for an answer. "Get out of the way!" he finally yelled and she backed off, startled as he pulled out his sword and yelled to the people behind him. "MOVE OUT!"
"We may not win, but we will give 'em hell!" the doctor added, and without anyone showing any fear they charged off towards Arlong Park. Nami just stood there, not moving as they ran past her before the knife fell from her limp hand and she fell to her knees. She began to shake and glared at the mark on her arm and dug her nails into it so hard, tears fell as she stared at it and her eyes widen as she finally snapped. She grabbed the knife and began to stab her arm, precisely the arlong mark. She started to screamed out the venomous name of the pirate who robbed her of her family and her dreams.
Everyone is horrified by this sight but understood why, her hard-working is tarnished by the very pirate who killed her mother. She now resents and no longer trusts him, "nami..." Ochako cries.
"Pls stop..." Recovery girl whispered as she shed tears.
Then luffy stops her, his face was blank. His eyes hidden by the shadow of his hat… but also letting her know that he wasn't going to let her hurt herself like this anymore, "Luffy…" she whispered softly as her hand went limp a second time and she seemed to lose all strength as she let the blood-soaked knife fall onto the road, "What do you want?" she demanded in a choked up voice, "You don't know anything about this. You don't know what has been happening on this island for the past 8 years."
"Nope, I don't." Luffy answered honestly, even mirio's expression cannot be read.
She was shaking as her hands gripped handfuls of dirt as she cried softly, "This has nothing to do with you!" she said louder, "I told you to leave this place!"
"Yep, you sure did."
"SO LEAVE!" She yelled as she threw a handful of dirt behind her, and with every word she threw more dirt. Now desperate to get him to leave, "I TOLD YOU TO LEAVE! GET OUT OF HERE! GET OUT OF HERE NOW! GO! GO AWAY! GO! GO! GO!" But she finally ran out of steam and openly cried out, sobbing and no longer trying to hold herself back as she let out all the feelings she kept inside for those eight miserable years. He didn't react at all as he watched… just standing there as she finally said the words that he had been waiting to say. At the end of her rope, she whispered, "Luffy…?" she looked back, tears in her eyes. "help me…" she finally begged.
For a moment, Luffy didn't do anything. But then he silently took off his straw hat and placed it on her head, and for a moment the tears stopped flowing as he turned and walked a few steps away. "Of course." he answered, "That's what friends do." He suddenly stopped and took a deep breath before he screamed out at the top of his lungs along with mirio, "HE'S GONNA PPPPPPAAAAAAAYYYYYYY!"
Many cheered and joined luffy, they too want arlong to pay.
"Let's go." Luffy ordered his crew who have been waiting and prepared for this, they got to the gate of arlong park where the townfolks cannot get inside thanks to johnny and yosaku. They cheered for straw hat to beat arlong, he didn't even smile. As he cracked his knuckles and held up his own fist, "Oh, don't worry… I intend to." Before they knew it, he pulled his fist back and punched the door enough times to make it seem as if a bomb went off as the front gate was smashed apart and exploded. "Now… which one of you is Arlong?" holding up his fist and glaring at each one of them, said fishman made himself known. Luffy walked to them, his head held up high and without a fear in the world as he marched in. "Good." he said as he gave him an empty look, "I'm Luffy."
"Luffy?" Arlong repeated, obviously not recognizing the name. And clearly wondering just what he was doing here, "What are you supposed to be?"
"A pirate." he answered bluntly.
Hachi, who was right next to Arlong looked surprised before he pointed wildly at him. "Nyuuu? Hey! That guy! Wait a sec, I remember him! He's the guy who likes to go on walks!" 2 fishmen didn't allow luffy to come any closer, so he banged their heads together and knocked them out as he told them to all move it. The other Fishmen looked startled at that as he walked right up to Arlong, who wanted to know what he wants from him. Luffy stopped in front of Arlong, he glared at him for just a moment longer before he seized his wrist and threw it back; and by the time he swung it back. He suckerpunched Arlong so hard that he was launched from his chair and hit the ground, rolling over several times before was smashed through the wall.
"Who the hell are you!?" The shark fishman demanded furiously.
Luffy's and mirio's faces were filled with nothing but fury, "THAT'S FOR MAKING OUR NAVIGATOR CRY!" he yelled at him, more fishmen attacked him but both zoro and sanji will deal with them along with Usopp.
Almost everyone started to cheer for them.
Hachi calls out to Mohmoo and everyone knows what happened here, mirio also realized the problem. "We didn't think this through..." He looked down at his stuck feet.
"You fucking think?" Katsuki groans in annoyance.
Despite being stuck, luffy will fight but him being stuck gave arlong an idea. When he hit the water, everything went black. The scene starts with straw hat back and no longer stuck, "Do you know what the biggest difference between you and me is?" Arlong asked conceitedly.
"The nose?" guessed Luffy as he cracked his knuckles, "The jaw…?" He then suggested before then held up his hand, "Webbing!"
Almost everyone found this funny, "luffy doesn't care who you are or your past... He just wants to have an adventure." Diamond smiled softly at 1st then sighed out knowing she has to tell mirio something in later chapters.
Arlong's eyes turned white in rage, "SPECIES!" he screamed and he lunged forward to try and bite him, but Luffy easily dodged it. Again and again Arlong tried to bite, like a wild animal, but Luffy moved back, they went at it until Arlong had finally grabbed hold of his head and slammed him against a pillar. He would've bitten him here, but Luffy grabbed hold of his head and stretched it out of the way so that Arlong bit the pillar… and shattered it into pieces. He started to mock how fishmen are far superior to humans.
"Then try fighting a mink! Let's see what happens to then, huh!!!" Hound dog is really rabid mad.
Luffy just smiled as he stood up, "Sure." he told him pleasantly, "Go ahead, there's no way I'm losing to a big fish! Because… I'm gonna be King of the Pirates!"
Arlong picked up a piece of the stone pillar and tossed it up and down like a ball in his hands, "King of the Pirates…? Don't be foolish, a puny human like you couldn't possibly conquer the Grand Line. You can't even crush a pillar with your jaws." And like that he crushed the rock with little effort.
"But Gold Roger is human and he was King of the pirates, there's no fishman that took his place. And he declared whoever finds his treasure becomes the king, all you've been doing is terrorizing an island. You pick east blue because your too weak against the other blues and grand line, I bet you couldn't even make it in the new world." Gran torino taunted.
Arlong overconfident over destroying zoro's swords, Luffy delivered a powerful blow shattering his teeth. He stood up and thought it all over for a moment, "You're right! I don't know how to use a sword you bastard!" he yelled after the brief pause, "I'm a terrible sailor! I definitely can't cook… and I can't even lie! Without my friends to help me I would've been dead a long time ago!"
"But their the ones who give me strength." Mirio narrowed his eyes.
Arlong chuckled from where he lay, his hand over the place where Luffy struck. "So you fully admit how pathetic you are. You may be a fool." he said as he sat up, "But you're certainly honest, how much your crew feel? Tolerating this idiocy day in and day out? I bet they're sick of it."
"No! Luffy gave them a reason to join, sanji rather have a pirate who trusts him then a tyrant who steps on others!" Izuku said.
"Fuck yeah! That rubber idiot keeps zoro fucking motivated!" Katsuki shouted, both boys are standing up for luffy.
"What good is a helpless rubber-brain captain to them?" Arlong finished, "What can you possibly do?"
"I can kick your ass." Luffy and mirio responded confidently.
The fishman regrew his teeth, "I wonder if Tamaki can do that after he eats shark fin soup." Mirio wonders.
"That's actually a good question but shark fin soup is illegal." Fatgum said.
"Don't move a muscle." Arlong warned, clinking the teeth together. "Rubber man."
Luffy thought it over before he said, "Say… now that's an idea."
Again straw hat is forced to dodge it before he was able to get in another kick. In the end, he was able to knock out Arlong's teeth once again and was able to steal it for him to use. After several more attacks, Arlong finally bit Luffy hard in the side. But this time Luffy was able to use the teeth he stole to bite him back in the neck, causing Arlong terrible pain and let him go. "So you used my teeth," he said as he wrenched them off his shoulder, "But your puny jaws aren't strong enough." He then smiled, "Now listen, sharp as my teeth are, they're only useful when they come with powerful jaws like mine! THEY'RE DEADLY!" and with that he bit down on Luffy's arm, Luffy reached up and grabbed Arlong's hair; in the end, he was able to pull him down so that he could slam his foot into his head to get him to let go. They both fell to the ground exhausted… lying on their backs, both now injured.
"That is pretty smart... And terrifying." Recovery girl said.
Arlong had gotten up, and quick as a flash, he jumped for the sea. "Wow! A shark!" Luffy said eagerly.
"Luffy that's Arlong!" Mirio scolds, the fishman attacks him with shark darts. Luffy was sent flying and crashed painfully on the ground as Arlong went smashing through an upper floor of the building.
Through the hole in the building, he stood there, still cocky. "Wow, I'm impressed you could dodge that!" He proclaimed as Luffy looked up, "Good job, but the longer you evade death, the more painful it will be!"
The fight went on and luffy refuse to give up, he's fighting the fishman head on and ignored his crew mates shouting for him to hide. "NO WAY!!" He yelled back stubbornly, "I'm not running anywhere! I'm gonna catch him and break his nose!" He turned to the water and yelled, "COME ON! YOU SHARK!" He uses a gum gum shield and caught arlong before finishing him off with gum gum spear, arlong is now pissed off. He brings out his blade and with a battle cry, Arlong was now determined to end it as he jumped to the first roof with Luffy having to jump higher and higher to avoid it all. Up and up they climbed, with Arlong destroyed everything in his way. On the top floor Luffy had finally ran out of room, but then noticed the window next to him and went diving towards it, smashing through the window. Luffy came crashing through the window with Arlong screaming up that he no longer has a place to run. They were in a room that was filled with maps—thousands of them were scattered everywhere in stacks… some of them still hanging from the ceiling as they were left to dry while there were shelves full of books and tools.
A few slowly realize this map room...
"There's nowhere else to run." Arlong said in a low voice, "You and me… here… the highest level of Arlong Park." He grinned evilly, and they knew that he was planning something terrible. "At last… the time of your death has come."
But Luffy was looking around at this place, "What is this room? Lot of paper."
"This isn't just any room." He explained, "This is the room where I had Nami draw all of her sea charts for me."
"This is Nami's room?" Mirio is dangerously quiet.
"These sea charts are all that she's worked on for 8 years." He paused for a moment as he looked almost fondly at the maps, "Just look around you, these maps are more valuable than any amount of treasure. You see, to us Fishmen, collecting data about the ocean is a simple affair. But assembling that information into a usable chart is a difficult task, that's why we needed a navigator. In fact that's the soul reason why I'm so keen on keeping that woman in my possession, she's absolutely brilliant. The accuracy of her charts is beyond comparison, she's too good for human trash like you." he went on, "Her talents should be used solely to build up the mighty Arlong Empire!" He pointed his weapon at him, still grinning. "Now listen, Nami belongs to me!"
"Luffy... Shut his fucking mouth and beat the crap out of him." Ochako looked very scary.
"And you're interfering in our business." Arlong said smugly, "You human scum!" Luffy narrowed his eyes dangerously as the Shark Saw was now being pointed at his head, he then sneered as he said slowly and carefully so that he couldn't hope to miss his words. "She's not your friend!"
Straw hat sat there for a moment without saying anything. But then… "I don't care." he answered, still staring defiantly at him and Nami's eyes opened as she looked at him. "I don't care what you say." he said firmly as Arlong looked annoyed that he wasn't agreeing with him, but with his eyes not showing any signs of fear. Luffy declared loudly, "Because Nami is our navigator!"
"Really?" He asked mockingly, "You want her to navigate your pathetic little ship for you? Ha… I guess you truly have no idea what a monumental waste of talent that would be." He gestured around to the maps in the room, "Look… there is no one else on the face of the planet who can draw sea charts with such accuracy and efficacy, that young lady has a gift." Luffy kept looking around then noticed the pen, he got a good look at it. "And there isn't really anything as ultimately regrettable as wasting natural talent, staying here and drawing up charts for me is her only chance of living up to her full potential!" He declared.
"This pen..." Both luffy and mirio said in a quiet and dark voice, "is stained with blood."
Everyone is completely horrified hearing this, nami suffered more than any of them. Shot is shaking in rage and agony remembering how he is just a tool to his father.
Arlong countinued to boast how fishmen will rule the seas with the sea charts.
... "That's The most stupidest thing I have ever heard." Sir nighteye said.
"Your just a big bully! You think a bunch of charts can help you rule!? Their only good as maps, bet Garp can beat him without using no stinking sea chart!" Monoma shouts, he really dislikes arlong.
Arlong had the gall to say nami is use, Luffy very gently took hold of one of the blades on Arlong's Shark Saw. His head was down and no one could see his eyes, Arlong kept smiling until it was wiped off his face. His arm was shaking slightly and he seemed to be completely confused to what was happening, Luffy's fingers tighten on the blade and broke it. "NO!" Arlong exclaimed in shock; so that he was left holding a blade with only two of the six blades left.
"Whoa..." Everyone is surprised at luffy's sheer strength.
Both luffy and mirio raised their heads up, their expressions are terrifying. "USE HER!?" Luffy and mirio repeated in a voice that was filled with as much rage as his face, "YOU BASTARD! WHAT THE HELL DO YOU TAKE HER FOR?!"
Arlong just laughs, "she is an inferior creature, but she has risen above her peers. If all other humans are sewer rats, then she's a feisty little kitten. After all, she's adorable."
"SHUT HIM THE FUCK UP ALREADY!!!" Everyone is sick and tired of hearing him talk.
Arlong admits that nami will be his tool forever and friend.
"Never in a million lifetimes!" Ochako gave him the finger, "you don't have an ounce of compassion! You killed her mother so your no better than those world nobles!"
'Uraraka is pissed...' everyone thought.
Finally, Luffy had gotten back to his feet, but instead of attacking Arlong he kicked the desk right through the wall. Arlong stopped laughing and his grin was wiped off as if Luffy had kicked him, he blinked before he stared at the giant hole where they could see the desk hover in the air for a moment before it fell. Before he could register what happened, Luffy had kicked a bookshelf and one of the stacks of maps out as well. WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING?!" Arlong screamed but Luffy completely ignored him as if he couldn't hear him as he continued his destruction of the room, making sure to take out as much as he could with every kick so that the sky was filled with paper. "STOP IT NOW!" He screamed as then waved what was left of his weapon at him, but Luffy easily dodged it so that Arlong ended up destroying an enormous stack of maps and he screamed, horrified at what he had done. "THE CHARTS!" Once he landed, Luffy then kicked another stack out. "My charts!" Arlong continued to yell as he watched all his plans and ambitions being destroyed before his eyes. His anger now growing out of his control, he finally pinned Luffy against a wall and held him there with his hand had his throat. Luffy stretched his arm out and used the back of his fist to take out more of the room and they could hear the books and papers smashing to the ground or splashing in the water below them, arlong snapped even further as he bit down on Luffy's neck.
"Luffy!!" Many are worried especially since his been bitten twice.
Luffy was growling with pain, but he didn't back down as bent his arms back so that he could grab Arlong by his nose behind his head and started to pull on it. "You keep jabbering on about—how much better—Fishmen are!" he said loudly, stuttering a little from pain. "And how much you—need those sea charts! I don't understand—anything about that stuff…" his hands started to bleed as he cut them on the sharp nose, "But I finally figured out… how to save her!" With one huge heave, Luffy snapped Arlong's nose like a twig, causing the Fishman to scream in pain and as he opened his mouth to yell, he pulled his teeth out of Luffy's neck. Mirio held his neck feeling the pain but it's completely numb thanks to so much tolerance, Luffy was still on his feet. "This room isn't anything but her jail cell!" he declared with a hiss, "There's only one way for Nami to escape, I gotta tear this place apart!" Arlong glared up at him, looking ridiculous with his bent nose as Luffy lifted his leg and stretched it high, bursting through the roof and continuing. "Gum Gum…" he began.
"YOU FOOL!" The fishman got up, "arlong park cannot be brought down by some inferior human!" He is trying to fix his nose, "especially not by some rubbery freak like you!"
"WANNA BET!!!!" Everyone shouts.
"Shark Tooth… DRILL!" He screamed out before he jumped and began to spin like a propeller—or even a drill—towards him, his teeth bared.
Luffy's eyes widened in terror but he managed to finish the attack as he brought his foot down… "BATTLE AXE!" Arlong's teeth sank deeply into his side just as Luffy's foot came down and slammed his face to the floor, the force of the attack was so great that Arlong started to cough up blood just before Luffy's foot slammed him down floor after floor of Arlong Park and hit the ground with an almighty boom.
Everyone held their breaths, 'so that's what happened...' they all thought.
Luffy burst through so that he was standing on top of the remains, he and mirio took a deep breath and yelled out. "NAMI! NAMI YOU'LL ALWAYS BE MY FRIEND!"
Everyone cheered, cried and celebrated. Sure they've seen this but not the actual conversation and what luffy did is very valid.
As everyone wanted to celebrate the liberation and defeat of the arlong pirates, it was interrupted by the greedy marine who will arrest arlong and take all the valuables in the property. The townfolks and luffy decided to kick them all out, "we're going to have a party and your all not invited because your a scum." Mirio's smile is angry, the marines stood no chance but to retreat promising vengeance.
"Keep running you fucking coward!!!" Pony shouts.
The scene changed to a huge party in Cocoyashi village, zoro is still injured but the village doctor wants him to rest. Luffy wants a musician before a doctor.
"He got a doctor because of nami, and it's important to have a doctor in the crew." Recovery girl grumbled.
Straw hat is looking for nami, the doctor gave him instructions where he might find her. The scene changes to a cliff overlooking the ocean, a bright moon was reflected in the sparkling sea below them, and there was a very simple grave raised there with a wooden cross. Genzo had poured an entire bottle of sake over it.
"Is that...?" Jozu's eyes widen in realization.
"The grave of nami and nojiko's mother." Stella confirmed.
Luffy loudly arrived looking for food, this made Genzo jump and look at him. He is disappointed there's no food around.
"I thought he was looking for nami?" Kosai is very confused.
"Wait, boy!" Genzo suddenly shouted, stopping Luffy so that he would look back and they looked over at him.
"Huh, a grave?" He asked before he asked tactlessly, "Did somebody died?"
"Luffy that's insensitive." Mirio said.
"And it's obviously a grave since their supposed to look like that, wait! Has luffy ever been to funerals?" Reiko asked.
"I don't think so, many people in windmill village are too healthy to die and the only person close to luffy was sabo. I don't think anyone bothered to create a grave for him." Joanne said.
Luffy apologize and bowed his head, "I give you to my conveniences…"
"What?" Jurota is very confused and so is everyone else.
'wait, he meant condolences.' izuku thought.
"Wait… my sincere compliments… no my deepest…?" Luffy said several times before Genzo corrected him.
"My deepest condolences," he said, straw hat thanked him for the correction.
"Oh! That's what he'd been trying to say." Yui said.
"That was still rude." Ibara looks crossed.
"Listen boy," Genzo said, still not looking away but his voice was very serious. "I know Nami is going away with you, she has her mind set on becoming a pirate and that… dangerous business, and I'm fine with that. It can't be helped, But if any of you do anything to hurt her… I will kill you." he said with a deadly serious voice.
"He's kinda like a father to nami." Bondo said.
"I guess after their parents died, he watched over them..." Rin said.
"We're not gonna hurt her…" both Luffy and mirio said to the village head firmly.
But Genzo spun around and yelled out at the top of his lungs, "YOU SURE?!"
They looked startled at that before they nodded, "I'm sure."
This made them smile.
Genzo moved his cap back down so that they couldn't see his eyes, but a satisfied smile was tugging at the scarred man's lips. The scene changes to the day time where the straw hats are at the docks waiting for nami and the whole village are there to bid them farewell, then nami ran and shouted at them to set sail. She ran fast and jump into the boat before the villagers can stop her to give her a proper farewell, turns out she robbed their wallets.
"They still have money right?" Awase asked.
"Yes, they do." Joanne confirmed.
The scene changed to the straw hat pirates sailing when nami screamed, because of luffy's 1st bounty!
Everyone remembered that in the previous 2 memories.
The scene changed to Lougetown, each crew mate had to go resupply. Luffy on the other hand wants to find the execution platform, he bumped into smocker who gave him directions.
"He met smocker and didn't get arrested?" Present mic blinked in confusion.
"Smocker hasn't seen the recent wanted posters, he didn't know he bumped into a wanted man." Kimiko explained.
"Oh, that makes sense. Like a villain who hasn't made themselves known yet." Midnight said.
Luffy decided to stand on the execution platform, "were gonna get in trouble for this." Mirio said and he's right, a police officer uses a loud speaker and shouted for luffy to get down. But he is acting like a child, the officer means it.
"Fine! I'll come down!" Luffy yelled down agreeably, "But first you have to say the magic word and smile too!"
This made most of the audience laugh but some of the heroes have encountered childish villains sometimes, it was either annoying or amusing.
Then the officer got hit by a familiar mace, "Now's not the time for such trifles." she said in a sweet voice that seemed strangely familiar, she looked at straw hat. "Long time no see, Luffy. I've been looking for you." she cooed.
"He knows her!?" Some males shouted.
"But we've seen through the memories, she's not in any one of them." Shoda said.
"You guys clearly don't remember?" Kirishima asked.
"Remember what?" Tetsutetsu questions but his bro decided not to spoil it.
But luffy doesn't recognize her, mirio is thinking. "Ok... I think that mace she's carrying is familiar."
This made most of them realized who that is and their jaw drops, "no way... How!?" Kyoka really can't believe it.
"What? What is it?" Denki asked.
The woman sighed, "Now that's just rude." she said, "You mean to tell me that you, of all people, this face?"
"Because you somehow changed a lot..." Nezu drinks his tea and few of the heroes are confused.
"Still wondering how she lost a lot of weight." Fatgum said, everyone looked at him confused.
"Forgot? I'm pretty sure we haven't even met." Luffy said in confusion, "Who are you?"
"I'll never forget you, you were the first man who ever truly strike me." the woman said fondly.
"Strike her? But--!" Tamaki finally realized.
Luffy still doesn't remember her, "When you struck me with your powerful fist…" she answered, her hand over her stomach. "it felt good."
Everyone is weirded out by her, "say what?" Katsuki is disturbed by this.
"Why does she find pain enjoyable?" Shoto asked.
"Ummm... We'll tell you later..." Izuku said.
"Listen up boys, who is the most beautiful person on these seas?" the woman suddenly asked the crowd.
"That would be you!" everyone in the crowd yelled as they got down on their knees and held their arms out to her.
Now they remember, "the fat whale turned into that!?" Manga is completely floored.
"How'd she lose her fat... And freckles?" Setsuna asked.
"That's what puzzles even me." Fatgum said.
"That's correct." Alvida said with a smirk, holding out her arm. "I am quite breathtaking aren't I? There isn't a man alive that won't crumble before my beauty, but I prefer strong men… like you."
Diamond's eye twitch.
"I'm gonna make you all mine, Luffy. Just wait."
"That lucky son of a--!!!" Awase had to cover kosai's mouth.
"Gross! No way! Just who the heck are you!?" luffy strongly disagrees.
"HE STILL HASN'T FIGURED IT OUT!?" Many shouted.
Even alvida is losing patience, more police officers arrived to arrest the pirates. But alvida is too beautiful to get arrested, then a large cannonball came flying from behind them and it hit the fountain so that it ended up blowing it apart in large chucks. A large part of the fountain flew at Alvida, but it was too late. However, as it hit, it slide right off her as if it had been a giant bar of soap and went flying off near Luffy's direction but moved in time. "Ah man, that's weird!" He exclaimed loudly as everyone stared at her.
"Did those debris just slide off her skin!?" Ryukyu said.
"Now that's smooth skin!" Midnight is jealous, but she isn't the only one.
"That little stunt was dangerous you know?" Alvida asked, sounding just a little irritated as she turned her attention to a group of people who had come from the direction of the cannonball—each of them wearing a dark cloak to cover themselves.
"I'm flashily sorry." the one out front said softly, "But that smooth skin of yours is unharmed of course? So there's no need to worry fairest Alvida."
"Wait a minute..." Everyone recognizes that line.
"Don't tell me she teamed up with buggy of all people!?" Nejire asked in shock.
"Seems like it, ribbit." Tsuyu croaked.
Luffy remembers alvida but he doesn't recognizes her new look, Alvida smiled, "I guessed I really did change after eating the fruit called…" She removed her heart cloak to fully reveal her new body to them all, and get the whole picture to how much she had changed. "Smooth Smooth Fruit, no attack can hurt my skin because it slides right off."
"So it shed all her fat and freckles." Momo said.
"I'm kinda jealous of her smooth skin." Mina said.
"Unfortunately, a lowly fruit could not improve on my already stunning good looks." Alvida sighed in disappointment as she touched her cheek, "One big change you may have noticed was that I lost my freckles."
... "That's it!? Doesn't she noticed how much she lost weight!?" Sero asked.
"I'm just as confused as you are..." Sato said.
"Uh, sure, that must be it." Luffy whispered.
"I guess she never looked into a mirror before the devil fruit." Mirio said.
That was kinda funny.
Turns out she did join forces with someone who has a grudge against luffy, Buggy laughed insanely as he and his crew threw off the cloaks and they could fully see the whole circus was back. "Now that I flashily made my entrance, time for the real star of the show!" he screamed out and pointed up at Luffy, "Monkey D. Luffy, ever since the day you sent me flying, I've been obsessed with exacting my revenge on you! That alone led to me finally finding my crew! My travels are an epic saga. I went to hell, found friendship, I even lost parts of my body! I call this tale 'Tiny Buggy's Great Adventure!' The first thing that happened was… WHY THE HELL AM I TELLING YOU A STORY?!"
Everyone fell off their seats, "I think luffy may have hit him too much, must've lost a brain cell." Power loader said.
Luffy stared blankly at Buggy, "Don't know, now…" he folded his arms as he said, "What was your name again? Boggy? Buggie? Buhii? Baggy? AH! I know!" he said proudly, "It's buffoon!" Mirio laughs uncontrollably.
Everyone started to laugh out of control, that was too funny. "Buffoon fits him just right!" Kendo giggles.
This enraged the clown pirate so much, but the people below recognizes him. They all wanted to get away but the buggy pirates are blocking all entrances and exits of the plaza, buffoon wants them to witness how scary he can be. Luffy got distracted, cabaji appeared behind him and slammed a large wooden board down on top of him to trap him so that he was trapped in the stocks that held his head and hands there.
"That's what happened to this fucking idiot!?" Katsuki shouted.
Soon a storm started to gather in Lougetown, "To all of my followers! Hundreds of billions of them around the world…! We will now begin the most flashily public execution! You're trapped Monkey D. Luffy! You can't move so much as an inch!" buffoon laughed and called out.
"Too bad... Thunder struck him." Mirio said and laughs at his joke, sir nighteye smiled and not many of the teens found it funny.
"Yes, and thanks to luffy being rubber he's safe." Shoto said.
"Todoroki, he's trying to be funny." Izuku said.
"Oh... I didn't find it funny."
"Tell me Straw Hat!" Buggy yelled up at him as he laughed, "feel honored?! You'll die in the same place as the King of the Pirates!"
"Is it me, or is buffoon disrespecting the area where Roger died?" Ectoplasm said.
"Yes, but it's been said buggy may have held a grudge against Roger for praising Shanks more than him." Joanne said.
"What!?" Many look at her.
"In truth, Roger praises them equally but holds back on buggy because he knows his greedy."
"Pirate Monkey D. Luffy of the Straw Hats, will be flashily executed for the crime of being stuck up and making me angry!" Buggy yelled as he lifted his arms, suddenly standing beside the trapped Luffy. At his words, all the pirates around them were screaming in celebration, shooting off guns and jumping as if a great show was about to take place. "Now live it up, flashily!" Buggy shouted as his men all cheered at that.
Luffy was looking down at them excitedly, "Oh boy! I've never seen an execution!"
"He does know he's getting executed right?" Cementoss asked.
"No, he's not." Joanne said.
Buffoon made him realize, he's getting executed and started to struggle. He finally stopped struggling and was now lying there with a pout on his face, "I'm so sorry. Really I am, please spare my life." he said in a droning voice.
Everyone sweatdrop.
Buggy held up a long sword and looked down at Luffy as he stated, "You've got quite a big audience here today, Straw Hat. You want to say a few words before you die?" Luffy continued to sit there with a grumpy look on his face, even as Buggy stepped on his head. "Awww, cat got your tongue?" He asked, still taunting him. "That's alright, stay quiet or say a few words. It doesn't matter, you're still gonna die!"
Straw hat lay there for a moment, before he took a deep breath. Just as a great wind swept over them all, "LISTEN! I'M THE MAN WHO'LL BE KING OF THE PIRATES!" He bellowed out at the top of his lungs, there was a stunned silence all around then as the crowd stared at him in disbelief.
"STOP THE EXECUTION!" Zoro shouted, Sanji is right behind him.
NOW!" they both screamed out at Buggy, clearly warning him that they weren't playing around here. But they're not gonna make it with a lot of buffoon pirates in the way.
"Zoro! Sanji! Usopp! Nami!" Luffy and mirio called out and look at them smiling, "sorry... But I'm dead."
"Idiot!" zoro screamed in horror.
"Don't say that!" Sanji desperately kicks as fast as he can.
Everyone is waiting for the unexpected to happen
But as the blade fell, it sparkled with electricity from the air and with a great explosion from above them a single bolt of lightning came crashing from the dark clouds and struck the tower. It completely destroyed the execution platform, Luffy had pulled himself out of the debris, his head still on and his body looking only slightly singed and dirty. Buggy wasn't so lucky… he was lying on the ground and was badly burnt and out cold. He got his hat back, "Hey, I'm still alive! That's nice!" They all ran away since the marines arrived with smocker, zoro stayed back to fight the female marine swordswoman.
Sanji and luffy had a difficult time fighting smocker, then some stepped in. Luffy couldn't see this person but the audience does, "How nice." Smoker said to him, "Now the government can have your head!"
"The world is still waiting for our answer." He said and the weather is growing much harsher.
"Wait, is this dragon's devil fruit power?" Mezo asked.
"Yes, people theorized he ate the storm storm fruit. The power to control a storm." Joanne said.
Luffy and sanji left smocker to fight this cloaked figure, mirio is the only one who looked back.
