I don't own One Piece my OCs Aiko and Kisho
So what's the big deal here anyway? Said Luffy.
Bad luck I guess said Usopp.
Indeed said Brook.
We haven't caught a thing all day said Luffy.
It is kind of strange huh? Said Chopper.
It's annoying that's what is it said Usopp.
Ugh! I'm so bored said Luffy.
I'm sure our luck will turn around soon enough said Brook.
Nami, are we there yet? I want to be at Fishman Island right now said Luffy.
Could you just shut up for five minutes? We're getting closer, that's good enough okay said Nami.
Fishmen? Mermaids said Sanji.
Lovely, lovely mermaids! Leap into my arms or swim into my arms or however, it works said Sanji.
Screw catching food! I just want to eat it! Said Luffy.
Sanji, dinner said Luffy.
Hey look said Usopp.
There's a big school of fish down there, we've finally hit the jackpot said Usopp.
See? As they say, good things come to those who wait said Brook.
I've changed my mind said Luffy.
Whoa! There headed straight for us said Luffy.
You wanna try Nami? Asks Chopper.
What's wrong? Asks Chopper.
I'm not quite sure but something seems off here said Nami.
Hey get back here fish said Luffy.
That looks bad said Zoro.
You're kidding me said Kisho.
What is it? Don't just make a scary face and say foreboding things like that said Usopp.
It's a sea snake current said Kisho.
Ok but what is that? Asks Chopper.
Brace yourselves said Nami.
The waves it looks like they're alive said Zoro.
I get why they're called Sea Snakes said Franky.
Yohohohoho! This is quite the sight said Brook.
Awesome said Luffy.
Hey, Sanji said Nami.
Don't worry, Nami, I'm on it said Sanji.
It won't budge said Sanji.
Weapons Left, fire said Franky.
Hey, what are you doing up there? You forget how to steer the ship? Said Zoro.
Shut up, it's not my fault said Sanji.
Don't run into a lot of snake-shaped tidal waves in the kitchen said Sanji.
Now, Gum-Gum Pistol said Luffy.
I trust no one is injured said Brook.
Whoa! That was cool said Chopper.
The term slippery as a snake sure does apply to this current situation said Brook.
Current, you get it? Cause water said, Brook.
Yeah, I get it! Now stop laughing and protect us said Usopp.
Are we gonna keep cutting these things forever or what? Asks Zoro.
Kisho do you think you get these things to die down? Asks Sanji.
Yeah you're the one who can control water said Usopp.
No, they've got a mind of their own said Kisho.
Okay, snakes time to go home now said Usopp.
How are we gonna get outta this mess? Asks Chopper.
Think we can fly out of here with a Coup de Burst? Asks Franky.
Oh awesome I forgot about that said Usopp.
It won't work said Kisho.
Huh? Said Usopp.
I can't see any end to these currents said Kisho.
In other words, even if the Sunny takes to the skies, there's no escaping for us said Nami.
No! Why? Said Chopper.
Shall I play a song for everyone? Asks Brook.
In times like these, one must remember no matter how terrible the storm it will eventually pass said Brook.
So i'll play some music to see us through and you can sing along said Brook.
Sounds good, Brook! Let's do it said Luffy.
Are we going up? Asks Luffy.
Oh hell no! We're falling said Franky.
Chopper is thrown off.
Chopper said Robin.
I thought I was done for said Chopper.
Time skip
Hey look said Nami.
No way said Ussop.
I see it, we're there said Luffy.
It's the Red Line said Luffy.
It is the Red Line said Usopp.
So we finally made it said Nami.
On the side of that lies the New World said Kisho.
Remember there was a terrible storm last time too said Sanji.
Hello, Red Line said Brook.
I've kept you waiting for 50 years haven't I? Said Brook.
Here it comes said Nami.
It's big said Luffy.
You better steer the ship right said Zoro.
And you better stop running your dam mouth said Sanji.
Don't suppose you could paddle our way out? Asks Franky.
You're not that super said, Robin.
Go, Sanji, just try to ride the wave said Kisho.
You got it said Sanji.
Hey, are you crazy? Asks Franky.
Don't worry about it, we did the same thing when we went to Skypiea and we turned out just fine said Nami.
Oh yeah! The Knock Up Stream right? Said Sanji.
Man! That sure was fun, wasn't it? Said Luffy.
How was that fun? It was terrifying said Chopper.
We survived that, we can survive this too said Usopp.
Let's go said Luffy.
Alright, now Coup de Burst should do the trick said Franky.
Time to fly! Pull in the sails! Said Nami.
You ready? Coup de Burst said, Franky.
Ah! We made it out said Chopper.
Yeah! Well I wasn't scared said Usopp.
We're here said Luffy.
We're finally here said Luffy.
We made it said Luffy.
I can't even see the top said Chopper.
It's huge! So this is the Red Line said Chopper.
It's strange, feels sort of nostalgic. I'm getting a bit choked up said Nami.
It has been that long since we last saw this place, I feel like we've grown up said Zoro.
I can't seem to stop crying, guess a lots happened huh? Said Usopp.
Anyways, we're halfway there said Luffy.
The Twin Capes where we left Laboon are connected to the Red Line on the other side of the world said Luffy.
We've had some close calls, but I'm glad we've made it this far without losing anybody said Luffy.
When I was a baby, I came to the South Blue by Reverse Mountain but that was well over 30 years ago said Franky.
The Red Line means a lot to me this time said Franky.
I came from the West Blue to this ocean five years ago, but it seems like forever now said Robin.
I know what you mean the last I was at this point was three years ago said Kisho,
If we keep this up, we can sail around the rest of the world! We'll come to this wall once more time, and when we do I'm going to be King of the Pirates said Luffy.
We have to be extra careful from here on out said Kisho.
We're right next to the Holy Land of Mary Geoise home of the Marineford and the World Government said Aiko.
Scene change
So Kisho you think we'll run into your folks when we reach the New World? Asks Sanji.
My father, I'm not so sure but we'll probably run into my dad at some point since he has territories all over the New World said Kisho.
Fine by me I've already seen Hawkeyes up close once and that was enough for me and what do you mean by territories? Said Sanji.
From the way Luffy described him, I thought Shanks was a mellow guy, not the conquering type said Sanji.
Well you see each of the Emperors has territories throughout the Grand Line said Aiko.
So they all conquer I mean not that I object I mean they are pirates said Sanji.
When an island flies an Emperor's flag it means that the island and its people are under that Emperor's protection, It's like with kingdoms and countries aligned to the world government, but without the heavenly tribute said Aiko.
Ok, I get it said Sanji.
Well my tarts are done said Sanji.
Here you go guys enjoy said Sanji.
Thanks, Sanji said Kisho.
He leaves the kitchen.
Both dig into the tarts.
So you think we should tell 'em that we can go to Fishman Island by having the ship coated in Sabaody? Asks Aiko.
I suppose I mean it's not like we take the Red Ports to the other side with getting arrested on the spot said Kisho.
Yeah, I know what you mean but luckily for us, we can visit Fishman Island and then head to the New World said Aiko.
They here Luffy outside.
Looks like they're back said Kisho.
Yeah better go tell 'em said Aiko.
Scene change
What a pain! It's too late now but I should have asked Lola how this works said Nami.
A rabbit fish appears.
Whoa, it's a monster said Luffy.
Ha! If you think you can beat me out of the water you're in for a surprise said Luffy.
Gum-Gum Rifle said Luffy.
You know what? It doesn't seem all that big said Usopp.
We did just fight Oars now everything's gonna seem small said Chopper.
The rabbit spits out a couple of things.
Hey something flew out of its mouth said Sanji.
A girl? Said Usopp.
Wait is that? Asks Brook.
I think so said Robin.
Oh! Oh yes said Sanji.
I made it said a starfish.
You saved us said the mermaid.
Wow that was a lot of fun said the mermaid.
It can't be thought Kisho.
Oh yeah, that was a blast, in fact had so much fun I'm gonna jump right back in his mouth said the starfish.
Now do you wanna tell me you didn't run away from that thing when you saw it? Asks the starfish.
Well, that's the thing I kinda didn't see it said the mermaid.
It is her thought Kisho.
Of course not it's not like it was freaking huge or anything said the starfish.
Maybe you haven't but you got little something under your tail there said the starfish.
She freaks when she sees Sanji underneath her.
I'm so sorry said the mermaid.
Are you okay? Asks the mermaid.
Ok? Of course I'm ok none of that matters anyway said Sanji.
How are you doing? Asks Sanji.
Look at that tail said Nami.
So that means she's a… said Nami.
A mermaid said all.
Are you alright? You're not hurt, are you? Asks the mermaid.
I'm great said Sanji.
Oh my god there's a bunch of humans said the mermaid.
Ok, let's all stop screaming said Chopper.
I'm sorry I was just startled said the mermaid.
Anyway, thanks for saving my life, it seems like I'm always getting swallowed by Sea Kings, this is probably the 20th time said the mermaid.
You got to stop that geez said Usopp.
There has to be some way to pay you guys back, oh octopus fritters said the mermaid.
Yummy sounds good give me said Luffy.
Sure thing there are 500 Beri's each how much should I put you down for? Said the mermaid.
You're not selling 'em said the starfish.
Oh yeah, I'm not, am I? Said the mermaid.
Sanji fawns over the mermaid saying she's the first one he's met and then Usopp reminds of Kokoro.
Are you saying that Granny Kokoro was a mermaid? But she could walk and stuff said Luffy.
I see i guess you never found out did ya? Said Franky.
You were bust fighting that Lucci guy when she saved us from drowning said, Franky.
Granny Kokoro was cool and all but thinking of her as a mermaid is really gross said Luffy.
You'll be old someday too said Nami.
That hurt! Why are you so strong? Said Luffy.
She is rather cute isn't she said Robin.
Yohohoho! This my first encounter with a mermaid as well said Brook.
Brooks asks her for money and Sanji kicks him.
What the hell Brook? Said Sanji.
That's a skeleton said the mermaid.
Look you're scaring her you big freak get out of here said Sanji.
Hey, I can open my head pretty cool huh? Said Brook.
That is cool said the mermaid.
And now she's fine said Usopp.
So I gotta know, how do you poop? Said Luffy.
What is wrong with you? said Sanji. '
The mermaid looks up and sees Kisho.
Kisho said the mermaid.
Huh? Said all.
Hey Camie long time no see said Kisho.
Hold on you know a Mermaid, Kisho? Asks Usopp.
Oh that's right you weren't with us when I said I've been to Fishman Island before said Kisho.
So you guys are friends? Said Nami.
Yeah we go way back said Camie.
We met when we were kids and I played with her every time I passed through Fishman Island with my dad's crew said Kisho.
Although it has been 3 years since I last saw you said Camie.
Yeah sorry I've been busy said Kisho.
Camie! Hello! Camie aren't you forgetting someone said the starfish.
Like a friend you forgot to include in your fun little chat said the starfish.
Luffy stretches his arm and picks up the talking starfish.
So uh one question Camie, what is this thing? Asks Luffy.
Like a talking bug maybe said Luffy.
Oh no, this guy is my pet and his name is Pappagu. He's a starfish and also my teacher said Camie.
Teacher? Said Luffy.
Yup that's him said Camie.
This guy? Said Luffy.
Yup said Camie.
What's up? said Pappagu.
It is normal for starfish to talk? Asks Nami.
As normal as it is for your pet to be your teacher said Usopp.
I let her take me in, we have our reasons said Pappagu.
He starts to sing.
Yeah, thanks everybody said Pappagu.
Come on this is the part where you guys are supposed to laugh said Pappagu.
He said he made Criminal,l their a really popular fashion label on Fishman Island said Camie.
Ooh said Usopp.
That's pretty cool said Chopper.
And Pappagu is their main designer, I wanna be one too someday so that's why he's teaching me said Camie.
Hey, slug guy how can you talk? Asks Luffy.
I'm so glad you asked said Pappagu.
He got over that one quickly said Usopp.
See back when I was a kid I was a little confused, I thought I was a human but by the time I figured out I was starfish I already knew how to talk said Pappagu.
Whoa, I didn't know talking works like that said Luffy.
The brain is a powerful thing my friend said Pappagu.
They say you can do anything you put your mind to said Pappagu.
Anyway, whatever, I'm Pappagu the starfish, up and up-and-coming fashion designer, thanks for saving me. Seriously you guys are the best said Pappagu,
We're lucky we met you said Nami.
The truth is we got lost since you're from around here… said Nami.
Aah! No Nami Octopus fritters first said Luffy.
Right I forgot, I won't charge you either said Camie.
Hold on let me call Hatchin and we'll work out a meeting spot said Camie.
Who is Hatchin? Asks Luffy.
Hey it's Camie said Camie.
Are you doing ok, Hatchin? Asks Camie.
Sorry, I got kinda lost said Camie.
So where are you right now? Asks Camie.
Oh, so it's Camie, is it? Said a voice.
Hatchin? Said Camie.
You don't know woh you're talking to, this ain't you're buddy Hatchin said the voice.
What? You're not Hatchin? Said Camie.
Of course not, listen is Marco from the Marco gang said Marco.
Wait I shouldn't say that myself said Marco.
My goodness this sounds like trouble said Robin.
What are you doing with Hatchin's Transponder Snail? Asks Camie.
We beat him and stole it from him, what do you think? Said Marco.
Yeah right don't lie to me, there's no way Hatchin would lose to you said Camie,
Normally you'd be right, we aren't really a match for him but this time we teamed up with the Flying Fish Riders and he didn't stand a chance said Marco.
The Flying Fish Riders dammit said Pappagu.
Camie you're alright said Hatchan.
Well that's a relief said Hatchan.
Hatchin don't tell me they really beat you said Camie.
I let my guard down said Hatchan.
Anyway no matter what they tell you don't come to save me said Hatchan.
I'll beat these guys somehow and get out on my own said Hatchan.
I'll meet up with you later so don't worry said Hatchan.
Hatchin said Camie.
You know Camie we were planning on selling your friend here, Octopus fishman fetch a high price said Marco.
Kisho snatches the speaker from Camie.
Marco this is Kisho I'm a friend of Camie's and Hatchin I'm a member of the Revolutionary Army said Kisho.
Oh so you're Red Hair's son last I heard you had joined up with a pirate crew said Marco.
Listen if you and Camie want to save him you'd better hurry said Marco.
Oh for the record we're at the Sabaody Archiclplogo, 5 kilometers east of Grove 44, did I fail to mention this is the Flying Fish Riders' hideout because it is said Marco.
I'm telling you Camir don't come here said Hatchin.
Also nice to hear from you Kisho said Hatchin.
Shut up sucker face no one cares said Marco.
See you there said Marco.
Hatchin said Camie.
Uh hey said Usopp.
Camie said Sanji.
So the fritters? Said Luffy.
This isn't the time for that said Franky, Kisho, and Sanji.
Hold on second, their friend on the Transponder Snail sounds awfully familiar to me said Nami.
And they said he was an octopus fishman said Nami.
It's my imagination there's no way, right? Said Nami.
Sorry Luffy-chan but i can give your fritters some other time? It's just that I have to save my friend before it's too late said Camie.
Uh said Luffy.
Hey! Said Franky, Kisho, and Sanji.
So Camie I know this might come across as meddlesome but if you're going to rescue your friend you don't have to do it alone leave that to us said Nami.
Wait I said that wrong what i meant to say was you can leave it to them said Nami.
You're not our boss said Usopp.
And in return, you can show us the way to Fishman Island which is a good deal since you're probably headed back there anyway said Nami.
Are you sure? Really? Asks Camie.
Of course, said Nami.
Right, Luffy? Said Nami.
Sure said Luffy.
You'll beat up all the bad guys for me Luffy-chan really? And you'll save Hatchin? Said Camie.
I guess but who is this Hatchin guy? Asks Luffy.
He runs the the Octopus Fritter shop where I work, he makes the best snacks in the world Promise said Camie.
Battle stations men! Shouts Luffy.
We're gonna save those Octopus Fritters even if it kills us, you hear me? Said Luffy.
Yeah, octopus snacks said the boys.
Well, now that they're motivated can you show me the way? Asks Nami.
No need Nami I can get us there said Kisho.
Camie do you have a map? Asks Kisho.
Yup said Camie.
She takes out her map.
Grove 44 is a tiny island right here on the east edge of the Archipelago said Kisho.
This place is 5 kilometers east of there so I'm guessing the Flying Fish Riders base is in this area said Pappagu.
As for us, we're about here right now said Kisho.
So if we head due west towards Sabaody we'll hit it on the way said Aiko.
Bam simple as can be said Pappagu.
We can ask some fish for directions before we set off said Pappagu.
Right sounds good said Camie.
Let's do this said Camie.
Camie goes over to the side of the Sunny and calls some fish.
Look all the fish are coming up said Luffy.
Camie talks to the fish.
They're scared of the Flying Fish Riders so they won't go too close but they will show us the way said Camie.
Oh wow I didn't know you could talk to fish said Nami.
Maybe the men are right, mermaids are really something said Nami.
I know if you stick around we can all the fish in the whole world said Luffy.
Hey, time out! What your mouth said Sanji.
But one thing is bugging me said Nami.
How are we supposed to follow fish? Asks Nami.
Check it out for ourselves said Pappagu.
Whoa! Awesome said Luffy.
Man I guess fish are a lot smarter than I give 'em credit for said Usopp.
See? Check it out said Usopp.
They're drawing an arrow in the water said Usopp.
Perfect! We shouldn't have any problem following that said Nami.
That's just wow so cool said Luffy.
Oh stop any mermaid can do the same thing said Camie.
Don't be so modest we don't know any better said Luffy.
Ok I'm gonna take the helm said Usopp.
Alright we ready? Asks Luffy.
Go said the Straw Hats.
Time skip
Zoro jumps down from the crow's nest.
Hey, Zoro said Luffy.
I noticed the Sunny setting off said Zoro.
Did we finally find a way to Fishman Island? Asks Zoro.
Forget that, check it out, it's a real-life mermaid said Luffy.
Her name's Camie, it's she cool? Said Luffy.
Nice to meet you said Camie.
She's a mermaid huh? Said Zoro.
Never seen one before said Zoro.
It's gone! He erased his memory said Chopper.
She has a friend who makes real good octopus fritters so we're going to save him first so we can eat said Luffy.
I'm kinda worried said Camie.
Hatchin didn't sound like himself at all when we talked said Camie.
I'm afraid they've done something awful to him said Camie.
Eh? He's tough enough to cope, I wouldn't worry about it said Pappagu.
You guys on the other hand were awful quick to offer your help, are you positive you're not in over your head on this? Asks Pappagu.
You kidding? Asks Luffy.
Alright but fair warning these guys aren't the only kidnappers in the area. There's a whole bunch of crews just like 'em as Saboady is a hot spot for kidnapping said Pappagu.
He's right, trafficking is big business around here said Kisho.
You mean like slave trading or something? Pretty sick stuff said Sanji.
And seeing as mermaids fetch a high price on the market, a trio of fishmen that call themselves the Marco Gang have been targeting Camie for a long time said Pappagu.
We were stuck in that sea monster's belly for a while, Hachi probably got worried about us and figured the Marco Gang kidnapped or something, then he went after them to rescue you and got kidnapped himself said Pappagu.
Yeah, that must be it! Hatchin's so kind and he's always looking after me said Camie.
This is all my fault said Camie.
Guy's name is Hatchan huh? Reminds me of that dumbass octopus from way back said Zoro.
If it's that guy then there's no way I'm going. But what are the odds, right? Said Sanji.
Usually, Hachi can take those guys, or anybody else for that matter. But with the Flying Fish Riders involved it's a whole different story said Pappagu.
Okay, who are these guys? Asks Franky.
They're another one of those kidnapping crews I mentioned. They've really been running the place lately said Pappagu.
Word is once they target you, you're as good as done for said Pappagu.
Their boss, Duval, is a scary guy in an iron mask. Nobody knows what his face looks like said Pappagu,
Anyway, it seems like they're looking for someone, they've been stopping every ship that comes by here checking out their crew, member by member said Pappagu.
Man, they sound like a real pain said Franky.
Eh, how tough can they be, it's fine said Luffy.
Don't worry Camie we'll get the octopus fritters back for sure said Luffy.
That's fritters salesman said Pappagu.
I'm sure you're right Luffy-chan said Camie.
Of course, I'm right said Luffy.
Hey, Brook, why don't you play a song to lighten the mood said Luffy.
With pleasure captain said Brook.
Hey guys, we're in trouble said Usopp.
Did something happen? What's the matter? Asks Nami.
The fish said they're sorry but they can't take us any further, they're scared said Camie.
Wait, what? Someone's here? Said Luffy.
Ah, look! It's the Flying Fish Riders said Pappagu.
Where? I can't see anything said Luffy.
Hey Camie, where are you going? You have to hide said Nami.
They're in the sky! Not the sea, look up said Camie.
Wow! They really can fly said Usopp.
That's awesome said Luffy.
They're our enemy, remember? Said Zoro and Kisho.
Dammit! They're attacking us head-on? Said Franky.
They have seats, and handlebars, and everything! Whoa said Chopper.
Here they come again said Aiko.
They're dropping bombs said Zoro.
Those jerks said Luffy.
That was a close one said Usopp.
They're not finished! Once they're out of the water Flying Fish can stay in the air for up to 5 minutes said Camie.
They're gone said Luffy.
The Flying Fish just left? Said Chopper.
And they were the ones who started the attack, weird said Franky.
It seemed they received a message said Robin.
She's right I saw one 'em talking on a radio, it must have been Duval said Kisho.
Man, how good is your eyesight? They were at like 10 feet away said Usopp.
Maybe it was an order for them to retreat, I can't imagine why though said Robin.
Those Flying Fish are cool! I wanna ride one! Said Luffy.
It can stay in the air for 5 minutes, right? That's 5 minutes of awesome for me said Luffy.
We're heading to their base now so you'll see them again soon enough said Sanji.
We better be careful though, they might not be so easy next time said Kisho.
At least we know they can from the sea or the air said Aiko.
Hey, how about lining the deck with cannons? Sniper Usopp will blow 'em out of the sky said Usopp.
Good thinking, bro said Franky.
I'm worried, I wonder if Hatchan is okay? Said Camie.
Worry about yourself while you're at it Camie said Pappagu.
Marco wants to catch you bad, don't drop your guard said Pappagu.
Yeah you're right said Camie.
Don't worry Camie we'll get Hatchan back besides we've faced more powerful foes than those Flying Fish Riders and the Marco Gang said Kisho.
Like who? asks Camie.
Well most recently we've faced Two of the Seven Warlords of the Sea defeating one of 'em and he's the second one we've taken down said Kisho.
A Warlord of the Sea? Oh man, those guys are though said Pappagu.
Yeah tell me about my father's one of them and he is no push over said Kisho.
Time skip
Hey, I see something said, Luffy.
From the looks of it, I bet that's the Flying Fish Riders base said Franky.
So Camie's friend Hatchan is being held somewhere around here, right? Said Luffy.
Hatchan said Nami.
Let's get moving, we gotta save those octopus fritters said Luffy.
What? Did you miss your snack time today or something? Asks Franky.
I'll go in there and save him before you know it, beautiful Camie said Sanji.
Thanks! You're the best Sanji-chan said Camie.
Hold on guys before you go listen up said Camie.
Be careful out there, okay said Camie.
The Marco Gang has managed to capture me over 30 times already said Camie.
You get captured way too often said Usopp.
You get eaten often too said Usopp.
Looks like we're about to cross into enemy territory said Franky.
I think my "Can't-Go-On-This-island" disease is coming back said Usopp.
Well, this really isn't an island said Aiko.
Yeah they just built a village on top of the water. So you should be good said Franky.
I mean, I'm getting that, "I-Shouldn't-Go-To-A-Village-That-Someone-Built-On-The-Water" disease said Usopp.
That's weird, why would anyone want to set up their base way out here? Asks Zoro
Eh, who knows said Sanji.
For an enemy base, it's sure quiet said Chopper.
I have got a bad feeling said Usopp.
Luffy you sure about this? Asks Usopp.
Go! Straight ahead said Luffy.
Shouldn't we at least go over the plan again or something? Said Usopp.
Camie and Pappagu call out their friend.
Am I seeing things or is something in that cage? Asks Robin.
What's the hell? Some kind of black thing said Franky.
Wait a second! Is that… it kind of looks like Hatchin said Camie.
Oh wow we're in luck Camie, there isn't a single enemy in site said Pappagu.
Maybe they all decided this is snack time or something said Pappagu.
Probably said Camie.
You two cannot seriously be this stupid! The blindest man in the world could see that this is a trap said Usopp.
They're totally hiding out waiting for us to investigate so they can ambush us said Franky.
What a brilliant dedication said Camie.
That's genius! I never would have thought of that said Pappagu.
That's why you dumbasses keep getting caught said Franky.
I'm here Camie, I'm fine said Hatchan.
There's no need to worry okay? Said Hatchan.
Hatchin it really is you! Said Camie.
What happened? You're all black! Said Camie.
Uh well, they didn't do that, it's my own fault actually said Hatchan.
Anyway, this is a trap, get out of here before they catch you said Hatchan.
Don't worry I can take care of myself. I'll be ok so just go said Hatchan.
There's something about that guy's voice that seems really familiar said Zoro.
You noticed it too right? Asks Zoro.
Uh-huh! His shape too. Yeah, I know who he is said Nami.
You do? Said Lffcy.
Let's just ask him and get this over with already said Sanji.
Hey you! So how's Arlong doing these days? Said Sanji.
Huh? Oh, not so good actually, him, Chu, Kuroobi, and all the others got caught by the Navy. I was the only one who escaped said Hatchan.
Now I've given up my life of crime and I'm running an Octopus Fritter shop said Hatchan.
Funny how time flies right? Said Hatchan.
What are they talking bout? Asks Aiko.
This happened before Robin and I joined the crew and even before they entered the Grand Line said Kisho.
So what about Chopper? Asks Aiko.
No before him too, it was Luffy, Nami, Zoro, Usopp and I believe this was right after Sanji joined said Kisho.
Arlong? Said Robin.
Yeah it was a really long time said Usopp.
Nami's hometown of Cocoyashi Village used to be under the control of a nasty bunch of fishmen called the Arlong Pirates. Nami herself was in an even worse situation having to work for those jerks and this octopus guy Hachi was one of Arlong's top henchmen said Usopp.
Oh, so he's an old enemy huh? Said Franky.
Well he was, but Luffy and I, mainly me, came along and beat the drap out of every last one of those guys said Usopp.
Oh, wow! Usopp, you're amazing said Chopper.
Yeah, I know right? Said Usopp.
After we left the village, I thought their whole crew was going to get arrested by the Navy, but it looks like this guy left them behind and escaped said Usopp.
I see. Sounds like quite the ordeal said Brook.
Listen up you dumb dirt fish! Now that we know it's you there's no way we're gonna save you! You better get used to that cage said Luffy.
But well uh you know. Um just asking but are your Octopus Fritters as yummy as everyone says they are? Asks Luffy.
Why don't you think with your head instead of your stomach said Sanji.
What a moron said Zoro.
Hey wait a second does this mean you guys know Hatchan? Asks Camie.
He must like an old friend of yours or something said Camie.
He's not our friend at all! No said Zoro.
Turn the ship around said Usopp.
Nami-Chan? Said Camie.
Sorry, we can't help you. I know we said yes at first but we didn't know this was the friend you were talking about said Nami.
Oh, come on! You can't just leave him like this after coming all this way! Please said Camie.
Don't worry Camie even if they won't help you I still will said Kisho.
Kisho said Usopp.
Look I know you guys still bear a grudge against Hatchan for what he did in the past but he's put that behind him said Kisho.
Hey Kisho you know how you were telling me about you're buddy Ace's boat and how it operates on his powers well I made something like for ya, it's in Channel 4 said Franky.
Let's head down i'll show you how it works said Franky.
Aiko open up Channel 4 said Franky.
You got it Franky said Aiko.
They go down below deck.
Scene change
They make below and wait for it to turn to Channel 4.
Now this baby operates similarly to the Hobby Horse waver but goes solely on your Devil Fruit powers instead of those Dials. She's pretty easy to use all you do is put your use your water to power it said Franky.
Thanks, Franky said Kisho.
He jumps in.
Listen Brother I know what they said about the Octopus may seem harsh but you gotta think it from their point of view said Franky.
I know Hatchan hurt them in the past but I've known him since I was a kid before he joined up with a pirate crew and I'm pretty sure he only did those things because he believed Arlong said Kisho.
I'm not saying you're wrong to help a friend but those people up there are your friends too said, Franky.
They hear a scream.
Got you now said Marco.
Camie said Kisho.
He powers up the boat and takes off.
Now we're all gonna be filthy rich said Marco.
Why didn't you just run away? Camie! Pappagu said Hatchan.
Hey, fish faces let 'em go or else said Kisho.
You really think you can beat Fishmen in their natural habitat? Asks Marco.
I guess you didn't read my poster very carefully the fine print says I ate the Water-Water Fruit a Logia type and as such it gives me the power to control, create, and become water said Kisho.
Ha! Don't you know the sea is the natural enemy of Devil Fruit users and you're in that dinky boat surrounded by the sea said Marco.
Bubble Trap said Kisho.
A Bubble surrounds Kisho.
What the hell? Said a Fishman.
Then he hears banging and turns to see Hathan ramming his head against the cage trying to get out.
Hatchan don't that you're gonna hurt yourself said Kisho.
Time for Gum-Gum Pistol said Luffy.
Leave them alone said Luffy.
He's got Devil Fruit powers too said Marco.
Way to go Luffy said Kisho.
Straw Hat? Said Hatchan.
Damn, that little punk said Marco.
Thank you Luffy said Camie.
You saved us said Pappagu.
Yeah! I got 'em octopus said Luffy.
Thank you, Straw Hat! You have my most sincere gratitude for saving little Camie, I owe you one said Hatchan.
Kisho makes his way over.
Hey! Cut open the octopus' cage and untie him, Zoro said Luffy.
Right said Zoro.
Be careful, Straw Hat! Kisho! The trap is still set said Hatchan.
The Flying Fish Riders have got you surrounded said Hatchan.
They'll take you down anyway they can! Don't let your guard down said Hatchan.
You're the greatest said Camie.
I don't care if they come from the sea or the sky, we'll be ready said Kisho.
We're gonna beat the crap out 'em said Luffy.
Listen up, you guys! Time to fight said Luffy.
Yeah! Said the Straw Hats.
Dammit! Quick while we still have a chance, come on! Let's go get Camie back said Marco.
Camie, Pappagu! It's dangerous here you need to stand back said Hatchan.
Go, Luffy! Go Kisho! Get him said Camie.
Guys, they're here said Usopp.
The Flying Fish Riders Emerge from the sea and take flight.
