Drinking fruit juice, Arlong ends up stretching while sitting comfortably in his seat.

" AHHHHH ! That's the good life ! No matter how we can describe it, the terrestrial world still has good sides. "

" Honestly, I'd rather we could go do some ''sightseeing'' on a another island. " Affirmed Kuroobi. " We will can meet villagers who believe they are strong enough to defeat us ! Then we will finally be able to let off steam a little. "

" You're just an impatient brute. " Syra retorted, while admiring a beautiful stone she had just found at bottom of the pool. " Arlony-kun has already found a great plan for that we can have an empire ! No need to rush things. "

" Totally agree. " Chew approved, while sucking up a bunch of grapes. " If we start to attack other islands, without real plans, other navy's boats may risk coming back ! Avoid drawing attention too soon. "

" Exactly. " Sneered Arlong. " But once Nami finishes all the maps of the East-Blue islands, nobody will can stop us. "

" ARLONG ! "

Turning their eyes towards the entrance to Arlong Park, the group of fishmen was surprised to see Nami arriving with a hateful look.

" Nami ? "

" Mimi-chan. " Syra rejoices, letting her floating cushion go towards her.

However, ignoring her completely, Nami focused only her attention on Arlong.

" Arlong, how dare you betray your promise ? "

" Hum ? My promise ? "

" Don't be innocent. " Roared Nami, starting to grab his clothes. " You sent the Navy to this island to steal my treasure ! The hundred million berrys supposed to buy my village! Garbage, how dare you ? "

" Nami, Nami, Nami. " Said Arlong, with a bored voice. " Who do you take me for ? It seems to me that I have in no way betrayed my promise. "

Smiling he continued.

" A promise that only included leaving you the village once you had gathered a hundred million berrys at my feet ! Until proven otherwise, I am still waiting for this money. "

" Dirty junk. " Roared Nami, punching him in the chest.

More annoyed than injured, Arlong grabbed her by her throat, while retorting.

" Until proof to the contrary, I have not stolen your treasure or touched the slightest berry, right ? So I haven't broken our promise in any way ! In fact, I am still looking forward to the day to give you back your precious village ! It is true, by dint of massacring so many people, ended up feeling " sorry "for them ! SHAHAHAHA! "

Can only cry with rage and indignation, Nami roared.

" How long do you plan to use me ? "

" No idea. " Confessed Arlong. " Just the time it takes for you to understand that your place is among us, Nami ! You are the cartographer of our crew and know that this title will bring you a lot, once East Blue becomes my territory ! Why cry for a small and stupid humans village then I could very well offer you an entire island ? "

" Grrr! You really have no respect for people. "

" No ! I have no respect ... for humans. " Arlong retorted. " What do you want ? We, fishmen, are the dominant race ! That's how god and nature created us ! You are an intelligent person, Nami ! So you know that I have absolutely right! So instead of foolishly wasting your time collecting money, it is better that you start drawing maps for us and that you manage to help us effectively for our future conquests. "

" Never. " Roared Nami, finally freeing herself from his grip. "No matter how long it takes, I will end up freeing the village of Cocoyashi. "

Then, she ends up running away from Arlong Park.

" What are we going to do now ? " Wanted to know Gin.

" Nojiko told us not to intervene. " Usopp noticed. " However, I am afraid for Nami. "

" It's out of the question to leave Nami-swan among the men of these horrible monsters. " Sanji retorted.

Walking thus, the small band, in search of missing Luffy and Raynare, ends up entering the village of Cocoyashi, where all the villagers were gathered, with weapons in hand.

" This time is enough. " Exclaimed Genzo. " Arlong has gone too far ! From now on, we will fight, to ensure our own survival. "

" That … ? " Yosaku was astonished. " What is happening here ? "

" There is a movement of revolt. " Zoro noticed.

" Eight years ago… " Continued Genzo. " … They took away our freedom ! And since then, we have become slaves to these damn pirates ! They looted, harassed us, killed people who were dear to us… and worst of all, they dared to betray Nami in the worst possible way ! Do you find it fair that we always stand idly ? "

" NO ! " Assured the villagers.

" In this case, take up arms and go to fight them.."

" They… Are they going to attack Arlong ? " Johnny wondered.

" Crazypeople ! They will be massacred. " Said Lucy. " We must stop them. "

" STOP ! "

Everyone was silent then, while fixing the person who had just arrived in the village.

" Nami ? " Nojiko wondered, seeing her sister walking towards them.

" Nami-swan. " Shouted Sanji, getting ready to come towards her.

Directing a saber towards his neck, Zoro stops his course as he looked at Nami's face. The redhair wore a big smile. However, seeing her eyes, Zoro would have bet his swords that she had just cried. In fact, her gaze betrayed the fact that she had just been betrayed by someone.

" Please, don't do that ! Everything is fine. "

" How is everything all right ? " Asked someone. " Arlong paid the Navy for who steals your treasure ! It's unforgivable. "

" Arlong… the Navy? " Usopp wondered. " What is this story ? "

" A big scam, if you want my opinion. " Gin said. "And for the first time in her life, Nami is the one who got steal."

" Wait just a bit. " Exclaimed the redhair. " Yes, it's true that I lost everything ! But ... I promise to raise the money to liberate our village! I assure you that I will get there soon ! Yes, this time, it will be easier, now that I know how to do it. "

Ignoring her words, Genzo ended up putting his hand behind her head before pressing Nami's head against his chest.

" You have done enough for us, Nami ! Quickly run away from here! We take care of the rest. "

" That … ? Genzo ! "

" Yes, we are going to give a good correction to these stupid fish. "

" We will restore them, you will see. "

" They will not understand anything about what will happen to them. "

" Out of the question. " Roared Nami, pulling out a dagger. " I won't let any of you get killed, is that understood ? "

Barely taking her words seriously, Genzo took a step forward, before finally exceeding her.

" Drop it ! We have already made our decision. "

" Yes. " Assured the village doctor. " Now it's up to us to take matters into our own hands ! If we want to be free, we have to win our freedom. "

" Forward. " Cried Genzo.

" Yeah ! "

Immediately, several dozen angry villagers raised their weapons in the air, before running towards Arlong Park. Seeing them leaving the village and going to certain death, Nami could only watch them leave, before finally falling on her knees.

" No ... come back."

" Nami. " Murmured Lucy, seeing her cry.

Then seeing her grab her dagger and sink it into her shoulder, she turned to Zoro.

" Quickly, something must be done ! We cannot sit there without reacting."

" We can't do something. " Zoro replied.

" But, Aniki… " Began Johnny and Yosaku.

" But he can do it. " Zoro assured, watching a person walk towards Nami.

" Huh ? "

Then grabbing Nami's dagger, Luffy made the one who stopped the pork from her arm.

" Luffy ? "

" Stop hurt you , Nami. "

" SHUT UP ! You don't know anything about my past and this island ! You are a stranger in this whole story. "

" It is true. "

" And I told you to leave. "

" It's true, but I didn't do it. " He said, before pointing the others, thumbs up. " In fact, we are all still here. "

" Why ? " Roar Nami. " I didn't ask you for anything ! I want you to leave ! That you get out, NOW ! "

Thus taking a handful of dust, she threw it at him, while repeating.

" GET OUT ! Get out! Get out! Get out ! You pirate! You killer! Dirty … "

No longer able to hold back her tears, she began to sob. Then, finally, unable to count on anyone else to help her, she begged.

" Lu ... Luffy… help me. "

Remaining silent, Luffy only stared at her. Then, grabbing his precious straw hat, he gently placed it on Nami's head.

" Luffy ? " Nami wondered.

Moving away from her, Luffy looked up at the sky, before taking a deep breath. Then all of his friends could hear him screaming.

" Of course I will help you. "

Stunned by his words, Nami then saw him go to the rest of his crew and say.

" Let's go ! "

" Okay ! " Assured Zoro, Usopp, Lucy, Sanji and Gin.

" We… We come too, Luffy-aniki. " Johnny assured.

" Yeah, don't worry Sister-Nami ! We will defend this village with you. " Yosaku promised her.

" Eve ... Everybody ... " Could only pronounce Nami, between two tears.

" For the last time, get out of our way. " Genzo ordered.

Chuckling, while having fun throwing an apple in the air, Raynare, who was leaning against the front door of Arlong Park, sneered.

" Because you really believe that with your stoves and brooms, you will succeed in beating these pirates ? Don't make me laugh. "

" It's not your business. " Retorted a villager. " Get out of there. "

In response, a spear was planted at his feet, causing him to fall backwards.

" Tsss ! You won't even be able to beat me ! So I dare not even imagine what would happen against them. "

" Why are you getting involved in this ? " Nojiko asked. " You have nothing to do with this island. "

" Indeed. " Raynare agreed, starting to squeeze her apple between her fingers. " And to tell you the truth, I don't really care that each of you is being massacred ! However, … "

Suddenly exploding her apple in her hand, she let a black aura surround her before saying.

" These guys made Nami cry and that's why I will fight them. "

" Don't be silly. " Retorted Genzo. " Even a person like you wouldn't be able to match Arlong. "

" I don't intend to fight against him. " Raynare said. " For him, we can count on Mugiwara to defeat him. "

" Mugiwara? "

Suddenly looking up into the distance, Raynare agreed.

" Yes ! This guy is an idiot pirate, who is unable to navigate ! Without someone to watch over him, he could very well die at sea in the space of a few hours ! However, when he comes to protecting your friends, he is a champion ! Out of all of East-Blue, Luffy is surely the one who has the best chance of defeating Arlong. "

" And where is he ? "

" Here. " Suddenly affirmed a voice behind the villagers.

" What's it, Syra? " Arlong asked, seeing the mermaid pouting. " You sulk ? "

" Yes. " Said the mermaid, walking towards Arlong, before giving him a series of small blows on the head. " Because of you, Mimi-chan will hate me too, that's for sure. "

" You have to know what you want. " Arlong said, not even bothering to protect his head. " If we give Nami her freedom, there would be no chance of her coming back here! Is that what you really want ? "

" No. " Said the mermaid. " But… I want Mimi-chan to be happy to stay with us. "

" Don't worry ! She will end up getting used to this idea. " Arlong assured her.

" No, I don't think. "

Suddenly jumping out of the pool, Kurrobi lands right in front of Arlong.

" They're nowhere. "

" Hum ? What ? "

" The bodies of the long-nose and the blonde that we killed earlier ! No matter how hard I looked, I didn't find their corpses anywhere ! "

" Impossible. " Hatchi replied. " Nami stabbed the man with the long nose in front of our eyes and you sent the blonde to sink. "

" He is right. " Approved Chew. " The current simply had to move their bodies to the ocean. "

" Well me, I feel a big mess. " Kuroobi said.

" No need to worry. " Arlong retorted. " Even alive, these two little mosquitoes do not pose the slightest threat to us ! And since they are alive suits me, I still do not know what opens these famous golden keys ! Anyway, it's not as if an attack is being prepared against us. "

Right at that moment, the front door exploded into a thousand pieces.

" That … ? "

" Who is Arlong ? " Wanted to know Luffy, entering the pirate base.

" Arlong ? " Repeated the chief of the place. " It's me ! What do you want from me, human ? "

" I'm Luffy ! "

" Luffy ? " Arlong repeated, making a little effort to find out who he was. " Who are you ? "

" A pirate. " Luffy replied, continuing to walk towards him.

" Oh ? And what is a pirate doing here ? "

" I came ... "

Running then, he found himself right next to Arlong. And before he could react, Luffy gave him a powerful punch in the middle of his jaw. Finding himself propelled out of his seat, Arlong ends up being thrown against one of the walls of his base.

" ... kick your ass ! "

At first frozen, not understanding the situation, the fishmen all turned around at the same time, to cry.

" Arlong-san ! "

"This one was for Nami. " Assured Luffy, with an angry tone.

However, having no trouble getting up, Arlong only spit a tooth, that Luffy just broke, while asserting.

" You signed your death warrant. "

" Dirty bastard. " Several pirates roared, rushing towards Luffy.

A rain of kicks with sabers from explosive spears and tonfas then fell on them, causing them to eject back.

" Frankly, Luffy. " Said Sanji, putting a cigarette between his lips. " What idea to rush into the pile ? "

" You could at least leave us a little. " Zoro said.

" Well, it vaguely reminds me of the battle at the Baratie. "Gin noticed. " Hope I'm on the winning side this time. "

" Sincerely, I thought we were going to fall on tougher. " Raynare remarked, letting himself rest on one of the roofs of Arlong Park.

Moving forward, as cautiously as possible, Usopp had his slingshot pointed in front of him, while Johnny protected his right flank and Yosaku, his left side. Advancing in this way, in '' formation '', the trio tried to be as scary as possible, despite the fact of trembling with fear.

" What do we do, Usopp-aniki ? "

" Do we also have to attack ? "

" For the moment, I cover Luffy and the others and you, you make my defenses. " Decided Usopp.

" Great plan ! You're a genius, Usopp-aniki. "

For her part, unable to compete against the pirates, without her keys, Lucy stayed with the villagers, waiting for an opportunity to recover her property.

However, despite wanting to remain discreet, Kuroobi had no trouble recognizing Usopp and Lucy.

" These ? I knew it ! Nami has led us by boat from the start. "

For his part, Hatchi preferred to turn his anger towards Zoro.

" You kind of dirty manipulator ! You rolled me well in flour, earlier. "

" Hum? " Said Zoro. " What are you talking about ? It was you yourself who offered to transport me to the village! You forgot ? "

" Shut up ! You are going to pay for having injured several of our comrades. "

" Who are these guys ? " Wanted to know one of the villagers.

" No idea. " Confessed Genzo. " However, this is our chance. Surely an opportunity like this will never come again ! Let's lend them a hand. "

Not thinking like them, Lucy snapped her whip at their feet to encourage them to stop.

" Don't take another step ! You will only hinder them and unnecessarily put yourself in danger of death. "

" But… But finally tell us why you are fighting for our cause ? "

" We know all. " Assured Lucy, while directing her gaze to Nojiko. " We know all the atrocities that Arlong has committed on this island ! As a Fairy Tail member, I will not let this happen any longer ! And then, … "

Then glaring at Arlong, she roared.

" I won't let Nami live in fear anymore. "

" Pirates, huh ? " Said Arlong, getting up. "So I guess Nami stealed you and you came here to force her back into your crew, huh? Make a cross on it ! What can a handful of miserable larvae do in front of me ? In fact, I don't even want to slaughter you. "

Then turning his gaze to Hatchi, he suggested to him.

" And if you brought Momoo ? "

Smiling at the idea, the octopus immediately turned to the ocean, before playing the trumpet with his strange mouth.

" Momoo, come here ! There are snacks for you. "

" Momoo ? " One of the villagers horrified himself.

" Oh no ! If they bring it here, we're done. "

" Who is Momoo ? " Wanted to know Lucy.

" A sea monster. " The doctor told her. " An unscrupulous creature that destroys everything in its path. "

" A sea monster ? " Gin wondered.

" Hum ? It vaguely reminds me of something. " Sanji noticed.

Then arising, a huge water was born in the middle of the courtyard basin.

" What is that thing ? " Johnny horrified, running in all directions with Usopp.

Starting to swallow, Yosaku said.

" It's it ! The monster of the other time. "

" Momoo ! " Hatchi cried, as soon as the water disappeared to make way for the huge monster.

Weeping, the animal made a strange appearance, while it was still injured and with a large bump on its head.

" That … ? " Hatchi wondered.

" Oh, the cow from earlier. " Remarked Raynare, on the verge of laughing. " Wait, isn't this shabby monster your secret weapon ? We have already managed to knock it out in two or three moves. "

" How does that '' us ''? " Asked Gin. " You didn't lift a finger to help us fight it. "

Making fun of their arguments, Hatchi ordered.

" Momoo, make them disappear. "

Nevertheless, the monster was like freezing with terror. Indeed, recognizing Luffy Sanji and Gin, it could only remember all the blows they had given him earlier in the day. Suffice to say that fighting them was not really one of its desires.

And in two seconds, it took the initiative to suddenly turn around to go.

" Hey, Momoo, where are you going ? Come back, damn it. "

" Hey, what are you doing ? " Wanted to know Syra, swimming near the sea monster.

" What's wrong with it ? " Wanted to know Hatchi.

Appearing to be able to speak with the creature, Syra informed him.

" It says it doesn't want to fight these guys ! It says they already brutalized it today! It is because of them if it is injured. "

" So what ? " A voice roars.

Freezing in terror then, Momoo turned its gaze to Arlong, who questioned it.

" Can I know what you are doing ? Anyway, you are free to flee, but I think you know very well what fate I reserve for traitor. "

Afraid of his words, Momoo finally regained courage and rushed straight towards Luffy and the others.

" Ah, it's coming. " Usopp and Johnny and Yosaku were afraid. " To the shelters ! "

" Don't let one run away. " Cried a fishman, saber in hand.

" Yeah, we're going to liquidate them all. " Cried fishmen.

Seeing Momoo and the fishmen rushing at him, Luffy affirmed.

" Well, there is only one thing left to do. "

Then imitating a sumo, he ends up lifting his legs one by one before pushing his feet into the ground.

" Hum ? What is he doing ? " Gin wondered.

" Nothing good, unfortunately. " Zoro said, already backing away.

Then seeing Luffy turn on him, Sanji swallowed, while watching the enemies rush on his captain.

" Don't tell me that he will ...?

" The fool. " Cried Raynare, flying away immediately.

And barely took off when Luffy swung his arms at Momoo and managed to grab its horns.

" His arms are stretched out. " Hatchi noticed.

" A devil fruitl ? " Arlong wondered.

" GUM GUM TURNSTILE ! "

Then letting his body turn on itself, Luffy took Momoo with him and made it turn in all directions. Thus, he managed to pulverize Rayanre's old perch, before hitting various fishmen.

" Lower yourself. "Shouted Zoro.

And while Sanji imitated him, while Raynare was already flying high enough, Usopp, Johnny and Yosaku took the tangent.

" Ha, be careful, Luffy-aniki ! We are always here ! "

For his part, too stunned by what he could see, Gin remained motionless and could only say.

" He's crazy."

Then, a second later, one of Momoo's fins struck him in turn, causing him to fly to the feet of the villagers.

" Gin ! "

Not noticing this detail, Luffy continued to spin, before finally letting go of Momoo, who flew away.

" Momoo ! " Syra was frightened, while having had the good idea to stay in the pool to put herself out of danger.

" Tsss, dirty sassy. " Growled Chew, getting up, after bending down to avoid Momoo's body. " You really do not lack a forelock to dare to attack us in this way. "

" Grrr, I don't care about you. "Luffy retorted, while fixing a particular person. " The only one I want to kick is Arlong. "

" Really ? It's a good news. " Affirmed the fishman. " I have been in the mood for murder lately ! You will do the trick, Mugiwara. "

" You don't scare me. "

However, feeling an arm around his shoulders, Luffy began to sweat heavily, while Gin told him.

" You are a dead man. "

With a bloody face, after the blow he had just received, Gin wanted to give Luffy the change in his coin, while he was dying to give him a tonfa shot.

" Uh ... sorry, Gin. "

" Do you think that a "sorry " will be enough to make you forgive, idiot ? "

" Dumbass. " Sanji yelled, hitting Luffy in the face. " Watch out. "

" You almost killed us, poor fool. " Roared Usopp.

" If you plan to kill everyone, don't bother to get us in there. " Yosaku said.

" Do you want us to die too, or what ? " Raynare asked him, standing in front of them.

Remaining frozen, Genzo murmured.

" What a prodigious force. "

" The Arlong crew has just been almost completely wiped out. "

" It's incredible! A miracle ! "

" No. " Lucy replied. " This is Luffy's strength. "

" And you ? " Nojiko asked. " Aren't you going to fight with your friends ? "

" I should hope so. " Assured the blonde, while staring at Arlong. "I'm just waiting. "

" Wait for what ? "

" The opportunity to collect my keys. "
