After a while of sailing, Usopp spotted the Merry, docked along side the shore.

"There it is! I found it! The Going Merry, it's right I've there!" He shouted.

"Then Nami has to be on the island somewhere, we just have to find her!" Johnny said.

"Where do you think she is?" Aya asked them. Zoro was now awake and was tied up to the ship, glaring, angrily, at the three.

"You guys are so dead when I get out of these!" he shouted. Aya turned to him.

"Oh, shut it." she said. "You just sit there and rest up a bit."

"I'll get you for this!" Zoro shouted at her.

"We're east of Arlong Park, here at Cocoyashi village. But, it's strange. Why would she stop so far from the village?" Johnny questioned.

"Untie me! Damn it!" Zoro exclaimed, squirming at his ropes trying to get out.

"Zoro, you're hurt way too bad to be of any help when we go ashore," Usopp smiled at he told him. He bent down and patted Zoro right on his injury. "Just sit tight and relax! You can help next time!" Zoro hissed and yelped in pain then glared at Usopp. One of these days, I'm gonna skewer him like a piece of meat!

"Fear not, I will lead us to her safely!" Usopp said.

"Looks like skipping Arlong Park sure cheered you up." Johnny said.

"Prepare the anchor! Bring us along side the Going Merry!" Usopp said. "Now that we're underway, it's time to give a name to this voyage. I think I'll call it The Great Adventures of Captain Usopp!"

"Well, "Captain Usopp," there's fishmen over there. Shall we go over and say "hi?" Aya smirked. Usopp's eyes widened. He looked over to where Aya had pointed out and saw two fishmen standing by the docks.

"F-FISHMEN!" He quickly ducked down and Johnny bent down as well, wondering why. Usopp nervously pointed his finger over in the direction to where the fishmen where.

"Why are hiding?" Aya asked. "Why not just take them out from here?"

"Get down! They'll see you!" Usopp hissed, pulling Aya down, just as the fishmen saw the boat sailing past them.

"F-Full speed ahead!" Usopp said, nervously.

"Okey-doke!" Johnny agreed.

"Why didn't we just dock right there?!" Zoro shouted.

"Don't you see that? There were three fishmen over there, that's Arlong's crew! We can't stop there right now!" Usopp shouted at him.

"Do not yell at me!" Zoro shouted.

"I still think that we could've easily taken them out." Aya replied.

"If there are fishman here then this entire area must be under Arlong's control. So, what now?" Johnny asked.

"We could just say we couldn't find her." Usopp suggested.

"Untie me now, morons! Come on!" Zoro shouted.

"Uh, guys, the fishmen spotted us." Aya pointed out. Usopp yelped as he saw them jump into the water, swimming towards the boat.

"Let's bail!" Usopp shouted, jumping off of the boat.

"Right!" Johnny shouted as well, following after him.

"I'll get you back, Zoro! I promise!" Aya shouted, jumping off the boat, too. "It won't do any good if we're all captured!"

"Untie ME! Damn it!" Zoro shouted at them. "If you three don't get back here, you're gonna die!"

Zoro stopped when he saw the fishmen came out of the water and onto the ship.

"There's just this one guy?" One of the fishmen asked.

"Maybe, he just drifted too far out of something?" The other one said, looking at the swordsman.

"Y-Yeah, that's right!" Zoro replied, his eye twitching, irritated. Those guys are dead!

"Maybe, somebody just wanted him to die here, slowly." The other fishman smirked.

"I think we should take him to Arlong!" The other one offered.

Usopp and Johnny both came out of the water, seeing the fishmen sail away with the boat.

"Forgive me Zoro, I will tell Luffy that you were courageous to the bitter end." Usopp said bowing his head, respectfully.

"Please forgive me, Zoro! I'll never forget you!" Johnny added. Then Usopp stopped when he noticed that Aya wasn't with them.

"Wait, where's Aya?" He asked.

"She must've gotten separated from us." The bounty hunter said.

"Well, nothing much we can do except regroup back in land. I hope she's alright." Usopp said. He knows that she can take her of herself, but he couldn't help but be worried for her. What if she has an attack? What if the fishmen managed to capture her? Well, either way, it's not going to do him any good worrying about it, now. He will find her, later, hopefully. "Okay, now let's find some land!"

"Right!" Johnny said, swimming after Usopp as the two headed towards the shore. As the two reached the shoreline, Usopp and Johnny were frozen in shock by the state of the village in front of them.

"Think this place is called Gosa village," Johnny said. All of the houses were ripped from the ground and toppled upside down. The road as well had a huge crater as if it was made a giant creature.

"W-What happened here?!" Usopp sputtered.

"I heard Arlong came through here a few weeks back but I never thought that..." Johnny explained.

"Everything's upside down!" Usopp shouted.

"I heard people say that fishmen could be stronger than normal human beings by a very wide margin." Johnny said. "I guess this is how strong you'll have to be to survive the Grand Line."

"Maybe, but even the street's upside down..." Usopp pointed out.

"The monster, Momoo, caused this destruction." Usopp heard a voice said behind him. He began to sweat nervously. "Monster? Don't tell me that this place has monsters!?"

"We caught him out in the Grand Line and brought him back here with us."

"From the Grand Line, huh? W-Wait..." Usopp paused, before realizing that Johnny was gone, right beside him. He slowly turned his head to see who it was behind him. "We?" His eyes widened seeing that it was a fishman and screamed.

"Hey, you were with that guy from the boat!"

"See you later!" Usopp shouted, running away, heading deeper into the village.

"Get back here!" The fishman called out chasing after him.

Usopp laughed. "You may be a fishman but there's no way that you can catch me on dry land!" He shouted back as he ran. "I'm a very fast runner!" Suddenly, something shot out from underneath of Usopp's feet, tripping him, making him fall to the ground. "What the he-!" It was a small boy, holding a frying pan.

"Take that, you stupid fishman! And now I'll avenge my father by killing you!" The boy shouted as he raised the sword above his head, getting ready to bring it down on Usopp. Usopp screamed. But, a fist slammed down on top of the boy's head, stopping him. Usopp saw a woman with short light blue hair and eyes, tanned skin. She had a large tattoo on her right arm designed with swirling vines and tangerines coming out of it as well as three horizontal lines below it. There was another above her chest in the shape of a heart with swirling lines as well. She was also wearing a beige colored sleeveless shirt, blue trousers and purple sandals, pink lip gloss, and a bracelet on her right wrist.

"Honestly, how many times do I have to tell you, Chabo, we do not mess with the fishman. It was just one person who decided to stand up to them and they responded by slaughtering everyone in Gosa." she scolded him. Then she turned back over towards Usopp bending down to his level, getting a closer look at him. "You may look and smell like a fishman, but I can see that you're human. Well, mostly human."

"M-Mostly?!" Usopp exclaimed, insulted. Just who was this woman?

"Where'd ya go, over here?!" The three heard the fishman shouted and saw that he was approaching closer behind them.

"A-A fishman!" The small boy exclaimed fearfully. Usopp stood up standing in front of the two as he held out his slingshot, aiming it at the fishman.

"Alright, stand back and let me handle this one!" He told them. "Watch as Captain Usopp takes out this fishman with a single shot!"

"Take this! It's my special attack, Lead Star!" Just as he was about to fire, Usopp was smacked right on the head with a hammer. He fell on the ground, knocked out.

"I guess he didn't hear a single thing that I said." The woman said, dragging Usopp away by his feet. "Come on, tough guy." The woman and the small boy, dragged Usopp, hiding behind a house, and saw the fishman getting closer.

The woman let out a scream and the fishman ran over. "What's wrong?!"

"A long nosed creepy guy!" She exclaimed.

"Which way did he go?!"

"That way!" She pointed in a direction. The fishman ran, leaving in the direction where she was pointing. The woman turned back towards the small boy and Usopp who was still knocked on the ground. She bent down picking him up by his legs. "Come on, help me out and carry him."

Not too far off from the village shore, Aya rose out from the water. She looked around and didn't see Usopp or Johnny any where. "I wonder where Usopp went? I got to find him before he gets himself into trouble," she murmured as she climbed out from the water. She looked around until she spotted several fishmen camping nearby. "But, not after I have a little fun." She smirked, advancing over to them. One of the fishmen heard footsteps, coming closer to them.

"Who's there?!" he shouted out. The other two turned their heads and saw Aya, heading over to them with a creepy smile on her face. They quickly got up.

"Who are you!" One of them shouted.

"Hey there guys!" Aya told them, smashing her fist into her other hand, slowly approaching them. "You want ass kicking? Yes, you do!" she cooed.

The fishmen yelled, ferociously, and charged, attacking her.


"Oh yeah, looks great!" Luffy smiled from the window outside as he watched Sanji cooking. Yosaku leaned in.

"Let me see!" he shouted pushing Luffy away to look.

At the gates of Arlong Park, Hatchi was preparing a meal as he roasted a pig on a spit. "That looks like it's ready! Momoo, lunch time! Momoo!" He called out towards the sea. But, nothing came.

"Where is he? Kinda weird, I've never seen Momoo show up late for a meal. I wonder what happened?" He questioned.

"Yummy! Thank you!" Luffy grinned as he began to chow down at the food on the table that Sanji set out. Yosaku was eating as well.

"I don't care about you guys. I'm just practicing for the evening that I get to make dinner for Aya and myself." Sanji said, pouring himself a glass of wine.

"I hope that you can get Nami to join your crew again. She's the best." Yosaku said to Luffy

"Of course we are! She is our navigator." Luffy said, reaching out to the last piece of meat but Yosaku stopped him as he quickly grabbed it. "Hey, that's mine!"

"You just ate the other one! I get to have one for myself!" The bounty hunter shouted.

"But, I wanted to eat it!" Luffy whined.

"I don't care, it's mine!" Yosaku shouted. The two began to fight over the piece of meat, running wildly all over the ship.

"You fools are going to make me spill my wine!" Sanji shouted. "Honestly, I don't know why I bother to put up with you kids."


Back at Arlong Park the two fishmen, pulled up on the small boat, that Usopp, Aya, Johnny and Zoro were on. "Open the gates! We have a prisoner in board this vessel!"

Arlong looked down at Zoro, who was sitting in front of him and still tied up, with a sickening smirk. "One more time, what was your purpose in coming here to this island?"

"Like I said before, I'm looking for a girl, you half fish bastard!" Zoro shouted, glaring up at him.

"For someone I'd consider a good meal, you are either really stupid or you got a lot of guts in there." Arlong said. "We fishmen, are simply the next rung up the evolutionary ladder from you pathetic humans. We are incredibly resilient. We can breathe both on land in the water. An ability that clearly establish our superiority over you. I don't know if this will make any sense to that puny brain rolling around in your head. But, fishmen are the lords of all creatures and to defy against us is to defy nature."

"I'm really sick of your big ideas, Arlong," Zoro's eyes widened a little in recognition, hearing that it was Nami's voice.

"Why are you always so serious, Nami? You know that I wasn't talking about you? You are very special human, our greatest navigator and a valued member of this crew. You always have been."

"Say what you will, but I'm a lot smarter than any of you, that's for sure." Nami said. Zoro glared at her.

"Why did he call you his navigator, Nami? You honestly expect me to believe that you work for him!?" He demanded.

"Hold on, is this guy a friend of yours, Nami?" Arlong questioned her.

"Don't be ridiculous. This is just another fool who thought I wasn't going to steal his treasure right out from under his nose," Nami smirked, looking down at him. "To think he actually followed me here without knowing that, shows how stupid he is!"

"So this is the person you really are. All along I thought you couldn't stand pirates." Zoro spatted.

"You thought wrong. It was all an act and you fell for it hook line and sinker." Nami smiled bending down to him. She pointed to her tattoo.

"T-That's...!" Zoro exclaimed in shock looking up at the Arlong jolly roger flag, waving on top of the building, seeing that was the same as Nami's tattoo.

"I'm a pirate plan and simple and a navigator for Arlong."
