Sabaody 2

* You're quickly brought up to speed. The Mermaid's name is Camie and the Starfish's name is Pappagg. They just got rescued by Luffy from the giant sea bunny. Right now the ship changed course to where Camie's fishes are guiding towards a Fishmen that needs help right now. In exchange, Camie will help a way to get to fishman island.

* You recall lady Kokoro being a mermaid too and stare at Camie. Camie and Kokoro, they certainly don't look like the Merman(?) like you saw with Aaron. Though he was more of a seahorse. You focus back on what Pappagg has to say.

"As I was saying, I should warn you that these parts are home to plenty of kidnappers! The Sabaody Archipelago is home to dozens of gangs just like them!" - Pappagg

"You can earn a pretty penny trading humans around here." - Pappagg

"They trade humans? How terrible" - Sanji

"Since mermaids fetch an especially high price, the Makuro gang, made up of three Fishmen, is always looking for a way to catch Camie.

"Aand as for Hachi, the owner of the takoyaki shop… since Camie and I were eaten by that sea monster and didn't make it back in time, he most likely assumed that it was the Makuro Gang and went to pick a fight with them." - Pappagg

"Yeah, you're right… Hacchin is such a nice and honest guy." - Camie

"All this talk about "Hachi" and "Octopus" is starting to remind me about a certain moronic fishman we ran into before…" - Zoro

"...If it were him, then I wouldn't bother to help… It's not like there's any chance it could actually be him, though." - Sanji

* It seems like the crew had already encountered fishmen before you joined them.

"Under normal circumstances, there's no doubt Hachi would have walloped those guys… But since the "Flying fish riders" Were involved, the story's different…" - Pappagg

"Who are they?" - Franky

"They're a bunch of kidnapping thugs… who suddenly started causing all sorts of trouble around here." - Pappagg

"They're led by Duval, some guy with an iron mask! No one knows what he looks like, but it seems he's searching for someone. They say he's actually checking every ship that passes through here." - Pappagg

"Anyway, smile, Camie! We'll save the takoyaki for sure!" - Luffy

"Thank you very much…" - Camie

"Hey, Brook! That's your cue! Sing her a song to cheer her up!" - Luffy

"Gladly~! Frisk-san, would you like to join me?" - Brook

* You nod your head and do a duet with Brook cheering Camie up.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

* The moment of peace is shattered as a group of the flying fish riders quickly attack the Sunny with explosions.

"Woah! The fish are flying!" - Usopp

"They're coming around!" - Franky

* Everyone prepares for combat as the Flying fish riders surrounds the ship. However, they turn around and fly away, quickly disappearing from sight.

"The flying fish… I wonder where they went. They were clearly preparing to attack us again." - Sanji

"It looked like they got some message." - Nami

"Maybe they got order to withdraw. We don't know why though…" - Robin

"I want to ride one of those flying fish! They can fly for five minutes!" - Luffy

"Anway, those flying fish will be where we're heading to. We need to get ready for battle… Who would've thought they'd come from the sky…?" - Sanji

"Can we get the cannons up on the deck? I can shoot them out of the air!" - Usopp

"Good thinking." - Franky

"I hope Hacchin's okay…" - Camie

"You're the one that Makuro's really after. You should worry about yourself." - Pappagg

"Well we'll deal with them soon." - Said Zoro with a grin on his face.

* In the meantime, you help Usopp carry out some of the Cannons out on the deck to use for the upcoming fight. By the time you and Usopp finish setting it up, you all arrive at the destination.

"We're here!" - Camie

"So, this "Hacchin guy is being held there?" - Franky

"We'll have him out in a second, Camie-chan! " - Sanji

"Thanks, Sanji-chin!" - Camie

* Sanji is having the time of his life with the mermaid.

"Be careful everyone… The kidnappers here alone have captured me about 30 times…" - Camie

"That's a bit much don't you think!? You get swallowed too much, too!" - Usopp

"... It's quiet." - Nami

* You agree with Nami. It's too quiet.

"Hey… Luffy…" - Chopper

"Forward!" - Luffy

"This isn't an island; it's just a platform built in the middle of the ocean… I wonder why they're living all the way out here." - Robin.

* At the middle of the platform is a cage with a fishman in it. The fishman is covered in black though and it's hard to tell what he looks like.

"Hey, Hacchin! Are you okay?" - Camie

"Get out here, Makuro! Give us Hachi back!" - Pappagg.

"It looks like… there's someone in that cage." - Robin

"Huh? Is it Hacchin?" - Camie

"What luck, Camie! There's not even anybody around! It must be snack time or something!" - Pappagg

"... are you guys serious? No matter how you look at it… this is obviously a trap!" - Usopp

"They must all be hiding and targeting us." - Franky

* Camie and Pappagg made a shocked face.

"What insight!" - Camie

"I didn't even think of something that underhanded…" - Pappagg

"That's why you two get caught all the time!" - Franky

* The fishman covered in black spoke.

"Nyu! I'm here, Camie! I'm fine, so don't worry!" - Hacchin

"Kyaaaa! Hacchin, you're all black! What happened!?" - Camie

"Were you burned!?" - Pappagg

"Never mind that! This is a trap, so get away! You know i'm strong right?! I'm fine, so just go!" - Hacchin

"... That voice sounds familiar, and that silhouette… Nami, what do you think?

"Hmm… It's definitely looks kinda suspicious…" - Nami

* It seems like this is the individual they saw before you joined the crew.

"Let's ask him. Hey! How's Arlong doing!?" - Sanji

"Nyuu!? Ahh! Arlong? Arlong and Chuu and Kuroobi, they're still being held by the Marines! I broke out by myself. I managed to achieve my dream of opening a Takoyaki stand though." - Hacchin

"Arlong…" - Luffy

"Oh Crap! It Really is you!" - Luffy/Zoro/Nami/Usopp/Sanji

"What's going on?" - Robin

"Ah, way back… Nami's home town used to be ruled by a fishman pirate crew called the "Arlong Pirates." That octopus was a lieutenant of the crew!" - Usopp

* Arlong… It's who hurt Nami so much. To meet someone like that again… You can only wonder what Nami is feeling. You look up at her and she's making a contemplated face.

"So Hacchin was the same guy all along! You were with Arlong, Takohachi! If we had known that, there's no way wo would have come to help you!" - Luffy

"Nyuu.." - Said Hacchin in a guilty face.

"But… Is your Takoyakii… Really that good!?" - Luffy

"Don't be easily swayed away because of hunger!" - Sanji

"How moronic…" - Zoro

"Could it be that you guys are all Hacchin's friends!?" - Camie

"We're not friends!" - Said Zoro with a scary face scaring Camie

Camie turned to Nami for help.

"Nami-chan!" - Camie

"I'm sorry, Camie. I never imagined that you friend would be that guy." - Nami

"But.. But then you… You won't rescue him!?" - Camie

"Hacchin…!" - Camie

"Nyu! Camie! It's fine! Just turn back! This is a trap!" - Hacchin

"No! I… I'll save you! Just like how you always saved us! Follow me Pappagg!" - Said Camie as she got ready to jump into the ocean.

"Yeah! I didn't know you guys were so heartless! You idiots!" - Pappagg

"Shut it!" - Zoro

* As soon as Camie and Pappagg jumped into the ocean, they got caught by fishman that were hiding under there.

"Kyaah!" - Camie

"We've got you!" - Fishman 1

"Uwaah!" - Pappagg

"You've got to be kidding me!" - Usopp

"We're all gonna be rich!" - Fishman 2

"Hachi can't come to your rescue this time!" - Fishman 3

"Nyuu! Camie! Pappagg! I tried to warn you!" - Hacchin

"Those bastards! Camie-chan didn't do anything wrong! Let's just save her." - Sanji

"Hold on Sanji-kun." - Nami

"It's fine! Let's save Hachi, too. Hachi's fine! He's really a harmless guy! … I mean, we made a promise to Camie, Right?" - Nami

"Nami-san You have the heart of an angel." - Sanji

Nami turned towards Luffy

"Luffy!" - Nami

"If you're fine with it, then we've got no choice! We'll save Takohachi too." - Said Luffy with his mouth drooling.

* Nami decided to save Hacchin despite the wrongdoing of Hacchin's past. Nami's golden heart fills you with determination.

Luffy quickly snatches Camie and Papagg from the fishman by stretching his arm.

"All right! We got them back!" - Luffy

"Nyuu! Straw Hat! Thank you! I'm in your debt! I'll never forget this!" - Hacchin

"Zoro! Cut down Takohachi's cage and rope!" - Luffy

"Got it!" - Zoro

"Straw Hat, be careful! You're already in their trap! The flying fish riders are gonna come out from the water and surround you!" - Hacchin

"I don't care if they come from the sea or from the sky! Bring them on! We'll destroy them! All right guys! It's time for battle!" - Luffy

"Yeah!" - Everyone

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

* A bunch of flying fish riders came out from the water surrounding the ship. They started dropping bombs on the ship but Sanji managed to kick them away in time. At the same time, Luffy took over one of the flying fish but quickly started drowning as it dived in the ocean.

"Let's get near the dock and pull in the sails! It's in the way!" - Nami

"Luffy!" - Chopper

"Luffy-san?!" - Brook

"We'll save you!" - Brook/Chopper

* Before the two are about to jump in the ocean you grab Brooks' hair and Choppers hat and keep them from falling.

"Wah?! Frisk! We've got to save Luffy!" - Chopper

"Ahh! My delicate hair! That's right Frisk-san! Let us go!" - Brook

* You look at them in confusion. You ask if they can swim.

"Ah….." - Chopper/Brook

* Nami gives the two a comically big bruise on their head after Nami helped pull the two back up.

"You idiots! Franky can you go get Luffy? You two are lucky that Frisk stopped you from jumping in. Don't make us work harder here!" - Nami

"We're sorry!" - Chopper/Brook

"Good job little-sis! Let me go get our captain." - Franky

* You give Big-bro Franky a thumbs up. Franky jumped in the ocean and pulled Luffy up pretty quickly without much resistance. Nami was slapping Luffy multiple times. Luffy was still spitting out all the water that went inside him.

"Stop being a deadweight Luffy!" - Nami"

"Bubbaaa, I'b Sowwy! (Ahhhh, i'm sorry!" - Luffy

* Zoro cut the cage and with Hachi being free, Hachi quickly dealt with the fishman pirates that tried to kidnap Camie and Pappagg.

* The battle was pretty chaotic with the flying fish riders flying all over the place. However, with Brook's music, he made most of the flying fish riders fall asleep causing them to crash down. The flying fish riders changed strategies to trying to destroy the boat itself but the defense was solid with most of the crew members being on the ship. There wasn't much that you had to do beside help Usopp rotate some of the cannons. Just as things were settling down, there was a loud crash with the boss of the enemy coming out with a large bison wrecking it's own base. He wore a mask so it was hard to tell what he looked like.

"You bastards, coming in here and making this mess!" - Duval

"As long as we kill the strawhats, we won't be needing this base!" - Duval

"Our deepest apologies, boss! We'll pull them into the ocean right now." - Henchman 1

"I haven't been running this operation because I enjoy it! You all, know that, don't you…?!" - Duval

"Of course, boss!" - Henchman 2

"Today is a glorious day..! The man that i've wanted to kill… That i've wanted to kill so badly that i see it in my dreams…! Now he's right in front of my eyes…! I'm so grateful… God must be smiling down on me!" - Duval

"He must have a grudge against us?" - Usopp

"That man who, all of a sudden, sent me to the depths of hell! I will kill you, even if it comes down to stabbing you! You, Pirate "Black Leg" Sanji!" - Duval

"Me…?!" - Sanji

"Sanji! Who is that guy? Looks like he's got a grudge against you! Is he someone from your time at the restaurant? Think back!" - Nami

"That's so long ago… Well, I got into fights with people all the time back then." - Sanji

"You're getting what you deserve." - Usopp

"Don't be in trouble anymore. That guy's scary." - Chopper

* Duval started shooting bunch of Harpoons that are coated with deadly poison.

"Have a taste of my anger! You and your comrades are all going to die!" - Duval

* Everyone ducks for cover and Luffy interrupts it by kicking the mask off of Duval's face. His face is revealed and he looks… he looks just like Sanji's wanted poster. Everyone makes a comment about how similar they look. Brook is dying from laughter.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

* So Duval was misunderstood as Sanji for a while now. This caused multiple Marines to try and hunt Duval down because he looked just like the poster. That's why he developed a grudge against Sanji. Sanji in anger attack Duval but fall into a trap of the flying fish riders dragging Sanji into the water with a metal net. Camie jumps into the rescue. In the mean time, the flying fish riders lift an enormous anchor and try to drop it onto the Thousand Sunny. However, Franky is able to make the boat move in reverse with the Sunny's mane propelling backwards causing the anchor to miss.

"Frisk! It's time to pull out the Gaon Canon! Lead Usopp there!" - Franky

* You lead Usop to the hole that allows Usopp to go inside Sunny's head. With the Flying fish riders all grouped up from the attack, Usopp shoots the button and they are all eliminated with the pressurized air. Sanji is rescued by Camie but has a massive nosebleed. The celebration is cut short with Duval not giving up and charges towards Luffy with his Bison. However, the bison quickly gets overwhelmed by Luffy's determination and promptly faints.

"?" - Luffy

"He passed out?!" - Usopp

"What happened? What did Luffy do?" - Nami

"I didn't do anything?" - Luffy

"... Didn't we see something like this recently?" - Robin

"Huh? Where?" - Chopper

"Well… i'm looking at the other person who caused it last time" - Said Robin with a smile.

* Robin was looking at you. Which in turn caused everyone else to look at you. You blush.

"Ah! You mean that time at Enies Lobby…" - Usopp

"Yeah, now that you say it…" - Franky

"If I may, can someone fill me in on the details?" - Brook

"It was really cool! We were surrounded by a bunch of Marines and it looked hopeless but Frisk caused a massive shockwave? And it caused all of the Marines to faint!" - Chopper

* The conversation is cut short with Duval interrupting.

"Goddamn you, Strawhat pirates!" - Duval

"Hey, wait a second, Luffy." - Sanji

"Sanji! I'm glad you're okay!" - Luffy

"This whole accusation mess with this idiot… I'll put an end to it…!" - Sanji

"Black Leg… Then, die! As long as you live and continue being a pirate, i'll never be able to live in peace! I've had enough of these false accusations!" - Duval

Duval shot more poisonous harpoons but Sanji easily dodged them.

"Shut up! I don't even want to see that scribbled face on my wanted poster any more! That guy doesn't exist!" - Sanji

* Sanji beat up Duval's face constantly causing the whole skull structure to change. With that, The battle was over.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

* With Hachi saved, the ship was now going on a new destination. Everyone was enjoying the Takoyaki Hachi, Camie, and Papagg were making.

"Soooooo gooooddd!" - Luffy

"Right!? Hacchin's Takoyaki are the best in the world, right!?' - Camie

* You took a bite out of the Takoyaki. It was really good. You do wonder about the implications of an octopus man making takoyaki but that thought quickly passes away as the food is really good.

"Um… How is it… Umm… Nami…?" - Hachi said awkwardly

"...!" - Everyone

* Everyone got quiet real quick. After all, Nami's opinion should be respected no matter what.

"..." - Nami

"... You know, this doesn't mean I forgive you or anything right…?" - Nami

"No, No! Of course not! I didn't meant that! I just wanted to know if you liked the taste…! Really!" - Hachi

Nami smiled.

"It's really delicious!" - Nami

"Nyuu~! Really? Really?" - Hachi'

* The atmosphere is cheery again with everyone enjoying their time. Weirdly enough, Duval and the flying fish rider gang come catching up to the ship. However, it's not for battle this time. Apparently, Duval wants to thank Sanji for restructuring his whole face. He looks completely different from Sanji's wanted poster and looks much better now. He brags about his face a bit more, gives a den den mushi, then goes off into the distance. The party continues again after they leave.

* An hour later, everyone is having tea and discussing where to go now.

"We're heading for the "Sabaody Archipelago" Right?" - Camie

"We can't go to the fishman island without going there first?" - Usopp

"We mermaids and fishmen can just die underwater but you humans would die from the water pressure." - Hachi

"Yeah, even a submarine couldn't make it…" - Franky

* Pappagg explains how pirates can go across the redline with two methods. One is via going through the "Holy Land, Mariejoa." But that is obviously not going to work with you all being a pirate. Option two is to go through "Fishman Island." through the Ocean floor route. In order for a boat to submerge under and not get destroyed from the water pressure, Sabaody Archipelago is a must go to coat the ship.

"Look! You can get it coated right at this island!" - Camie

"Look up front, We're here!" - Pappagg

* The island was beautiful with a bunch of giant bubbles floating up and tall trees. It looked like a place out of a fantasy book. New adventure… It fills you with determination.
