Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto or One Piece. If I did, then...well check this chapter out, this would make those 4kids assholes shit their pants!
Talk: "Talk"
Think: 'Think'
A week passed since his departure from Fishman Island, and Naruto found himself annoyed as he stared at the eternal pos pointing him in the direction of the Konomi Islands. So far his journey took him away from his home, straight out of the Grand Line, and landed him in the East Blue of all places. Thankfully for the blond he didn't encounter any pirates, Marines, or dangerous sea creatures along the way. He ate passing fish raw, slept on the sea floor when he got tired; it was smooth journey…except for one thing.
"I hate navigation. Whoever invented it is an asshole." Yep, Naruto was many things, but a navigator he was not. He couldn't count how many times he got lost due to powerful currents sending him off course, and when the eternal log pos showed him his destination he arrived at the wrong island, twice!
But his journey was at an end; at least he hoped it was when he emerged from the sea. After blinking the sea water from his eyes he saw, with irritation that the part he landed at had houses flipped upside down like an angry child turned them over in a temper tantrum.
"That's definitely the work of a fishman, and I'm betting it was Arlong." Naruto looked serious for several long seconds before blowing a raspberry. "Is that supposed to be an achievement? I can easily do that with one hand." And to prove it the blond used only his right hand to turn the nearest house right side up, and because he was bored he flipped all the other houses back to their rightful positions before he strolled away in search for an intact village.
It would be an hour later when the tiger shark fishman found himself in a place called Cocoyasi Village. To his pleasant surprise it was…nice looking. Granted it wasn't anything close to the beautiful coral and shelled homes, but it was nicely built; you know by humans.
"I haven't seen you before stranger; tell me what is a youngster like yourself doing here?" A thick voice questioned him from behind.
Turning his head Naruto saw an average sized human wearing a brown police uniform with short sleeves and pants, and a yellow pinwheel on top of his police cap. He was pretty average-looking especially with that epic black mustache, but his entire body was covered in dozens of stitched scars.
"Well I heard that this was a lovely village, and decided to take a look. And I must admit…it's a decent enough village." Naruto replied, but it was pretty rude for the police officer.
"Oh it was quite beautiful, at least until your kind showed up. Tell me boy, so you know what kind of misery Arlong and his crew have brought us?" The police officer narrowed his eyes, and the two were slowly becoming surrounded by various villagers.
"Not really, and honestly I don't care." The blond glared at him.
"Then why are you here? If you're going to join his crew, then we-" The villager was interrupted by Naruto's loud laugh that chilled his bones.
"I will never join the likes of Arlong, but if you could kindly point out his residence to me, then I will happily be on my way."
"Then what do you plan on doing? Try and talk him into leaving us, you're preaching the quire kid, Arlong will never let us go." A cynical villager barked at the blond
"Like I said, I don't care." Naruto repressed the urge to growl at the villagers. "Just tell me where I can find Arlong so I can get out of here."
"Head to the Tangerine Grove and ask for Nojiko, she will tell you where to find him." The police officer said to him.
"Ugh, fine be that way. I'll talk to this Nojiko person, but hopefully he or she will be better help than all of you assholes." Naruto spat to the side and left the villagers behind him.
After a half hour of searching Naruto eventually found his way to a quaint looking place at the top of the hill just outside the village with the tangerine grove growing in the back. The tiger shark fishman made his way to the front door and knocked three times before being greeted with a flintlock pistol in his face, "I already paid my fifty-thousand beli, go away!" A female voice greeted him.
"I'm not here for any money, and I'm not from Arlong's crew. Some asshole police officer sent me here so you can answer a question on mine." Naruto snatched the gun from the woman and tossed it over his shoulder in disgust. "Also if you're going to use a gun, be sure to use it."
After the gun was dealt with Naruto looked upon his 'attacker'. She had green eyes, bluish hair with a red tie keeping bangs from her face. She wore black pants and a yellow sleeveless top that showed off a tattoo that reached from her shoulder across her chest. In her other hand was another flintlock pistol that was thrusted against his throat. "Then what do you want fishman?" She demanded.
"Nojiko is it? Is there any way you can not threaten me with that gun, I'm only here to talk." Naruto bordly said, but he really didn't like the fact he had a gun at his throat.
"Drop the axe and we'll talk fishboy." When Naruto pulled the gigantic anchor turned axe from his vest, that was once again interwoven with small but very powerful magnets, he dropped it to the ground with a loud crash that left a small crater in her front yard. "Good God, how heavy is that thing?
"It used to be an anchor." The blond admitted much to her surprise. "That's all the weaponry I have, I swear. Now can you please let me ask my question?"
Nojiko sighed and moved out of the doorway, "Fine, but I don't want anyone seeing you. Get in here." Rolling his eyes Naruto walked inside so he could get his mission done and over with.
Once he was inside the adoptive son of Neptune took in what used to be a nice home. It was roomy enough for two, maybe three people, with well-worn, second hand furniture. But when he sat in one of the chairs within the kitchen Naruto felt how comfortable it was. And when the bluenette sat across from him, pistol in hand he asked what he wanted to hear. "The police officer told me that you had some information concerning your problem."
"It's a problem you can't solve." Nojiko narrowed her eyes.
"Maybe not for a human, but for a fishman like myself I can deal with him. The problem is…I'm new to this entire area, and I need to find where Arlong is so I can go home. So can you help me with this?"
"Why are you so determined to do this? Many people have tried to defeat Arlong, and each and every time he comes out victorious. The Marines are in his back pocket, the villagers are afraid to death of him, and bounty hunters who come around become food for his sea monster. Why are you so adamant about throwing your life away?"
"First off I'm not throwing my life away, and I will not lose to the likes of him." Naruto assured the woman, "And I'm doing this because a man who had a hand in my training begged me to do it. He wrote in a letter that his former crew mate committed many atrocities on this island."
"That is an understatement!" Nojiko snapped at him. "A month ago he had his sea monster destroy Gosa Village, three years ago he killed my friend and her entire family when they couldn't pay his outrageous taxes, and on the first day…" Tears fell from her eyes when she recalled her worst memory, "On the first day he arrived in my village, he shot my mother right in front of me and my little sister before forcefully taking her into his crew as a slave."
When Nojiko finished her tale of woe Naruto found himself thinking of the day Otohime was assassinated right in front of Shirahoshi and the others. And his parents, his people in general being sold into slavery, that hit him right where it hurt when he saw the tears running down her eyes. God seeing her like that caused him to remember the pain and misery the World Nobles brought him, and seeing the misery one his own kind brought upon what used to be such happy people…it just didn't sit right with Naruto at all.
"Tell me where he is. I'll stop him once and for all."
"And how do you plan on stopping him huh? Do you plan on taking on his entire crew? How do you plan on beating his lieutenants? Can you even count yourself strong enough to even beat him!?" Nojiko seemed almost hysterical. A Water Shot putting a hole through one of her walls shut her up.
"I will ask you one last time, where is Arlong!?" Naruto snarled at the woman with his anger barely contained within his voice.
"Arlong Park, its two miles to the south of the village."
"Thank you, now was that so hard?" The blond asked before he reached into his pouch and pulled out several bills before slapping them on the table. "Sorry about the hole in the wall, this will be more than enough to cover the damages, who knows there might be enough to buy yourself a nice dress."
After removing himself from the kitchen and from the house, Naruto picked up his mighty axe and left to finish his business with Arlong. It was a shame that his journey would take a turn for the worst because of it.
After storming through the village and running the two miles as instructed, Naruto found himself standing outside the gates of Arlong Park. In his opinion the blond thought the entire thing looked like a complete eyesore, seriously that tower was obnoxious, after he dealt with Arlong that thing was becoming rubble…man he had a lot of destructive urges to deal with.
Before he could open the gate it was opened for him to reveal an average-sized woman with orange hair that reached to her neck, and light brown eyes. She wore a green camisole top with dark green flower shapes, tight black shorts with two yellow rings on the sides, and light orange high-heeled sandals. Clutched in her bandaged right hand was a wooden bo staff.
"Thank you I was just about to enter," Naruto thanked the woman, but before he could enter the park she slammed the gate shut. "Well looks like I have another moody bitch on my hands."
The orange-haired woman didn't answer instead she narrowed her eyes; almost as if she was trying to analyze him. Several heartbeats later she finally spoke, "You're not one of Arlong's crew."
"No shit Sherlock, what gave me away? Was it that I'm the new guy on the island, or was it that lack of his jolly roger on my body?" The blond snipped at her.
Crossing her arms over her somewhat impressive chest, the woman glared at him. "Well then what are you here for fishman? Have you come this way to join his crew, or to die?"
'I swear if one more person…' Holding the violent thoughts in his head, Naruto calmly responded to the woman. "I've come for neither, and what the hell is a human doing with the likes of him?"
"Isn't it obvious?" She turned her left shoulder towards him, showing him the tattoo of Arlong's Jolly Roger. "I am part of his crew."
"As what? A punching bag or a slave?" Naruto's sharp teeth gleamed in the sunlight, so this was the sister Nojiko told him about. But then again it wasn't too hard to figure it out since she came out unharmed.
And apparently his slave remark struck a chord within the orange-haired woman. "Sh-shut up, I'm not his slave! I'm his Chief of Staff!"
"Whatever helps you sleep at night slave-girl." The blond continued to taunt her.
"Don't you call me that, my name is Nami. Remember it you stupid fish!"
"Like I care about your name, now move out of my way I have a job to do."
"Fine! Just don't expect me to cry over your mangled body once Arlong is done with you!" Nami huffed and trotted away.
"Geez are all human women this bitchy?" Naruto grumbled to himself before he opened the gate and slammed it shut behind him.
(Fishman Island)
Meanwhile on Fishman Island Neptune was once again sitting in his sons' hospital room. His mighty shoulders were slumped; his head bowed, and parts of his once orange beard had tiny slivers of gray. He honestly couldn't believe that his adoptive son would do something like that to his siblings. Ryuboshi and Manboshi got off easy with a few broken ribs. But Fukaboshi, with all the deep lacerations on his muscular body and several broken bones, he was going to be out of commission for several months.
"Aladdin, how could it come to this?" He asked the doctor overseeing their treatment.
"You and I both know the reason. The Queen's final wish has been wasted on that boy; take a look at what he's done. After all the love, attention, and training you get rewarded with three wounded sons." The goatsbeard brotula merman scornfully replied.
"Please don't be too hard on the boy. The power of the Sea King is a terrible burden, it draws upon raw emotion. If the person is angry, he will involuntarily lash out without meaning to, and if he's sad it'll bring him into a spiraling depression. That is what I was going to tell him before he left to always maintain control of his emotions."
"A lot of good that did." Fukaboshi; the only conscious brother, barely managed to wheeze out due to his broken jaw.
"Try not to talk my prince," Aladdin admonished the blue-haired merman. "Your jaw is still broken in four places, and I would hate to sedate you, and wrap your entire face to prevent any further damage."
"Sorry…I just…" The shark merman winced when he felt the bones on his jaw shift. "I just have a bad…feeling. I feel that we…won't see him…for years."
"Just rest easy. I will send a letter to Jinbe. Hopefully he can knock some sense into that boy." Neptune promised his son.
'I'm sorry father, but I think it may be far too late for that.'
"Well who do we have here?" A deep, arrogant voice greeted the blond after slamming the gate shut.
Naruto didn't answer at first. Instead his blue eyes scanned the thirty crew members; they were probably tough as nails, but paled in comparison to the three lieutenants and the target he was gunning for.
He first took note of a muscular sandy-haired, blue-skinned, smelt-whiting fishman. He had the Arlong Pirates Jolly Roger tattooed on his right shoulder, wore a white beaded necklace, a striped blue vest, and plain sandals. Judging by his thick lips he was a long distance fighter.
The second was a white-skinned ray fishman. He had the typical appearance of a martial artist, with a dark blue gi and a black belt, his black hair was tied into a long ponytail. What Naruto found odd was the Sun Pirates tattoo is on the right side of his chest, he honestly hoped he would be a challenge if he had to deal with him.
The third was pink-skinned octopus fishman wearing a yellow and brown striped outfit with a baby blue sash tied around his waist. He had six muscular, suction cupped arms, and an octopus-like face. His grey hair was styled with five spikes, and planted right on his forehead was a tattoo in the shape of a sun on his forehead, son of a bitch he was a part of the Sun Pirates as well?
The fourth and final person was Arlong himself. He was a large, muscular, and light blue sawshark fishman whose most distinctive trait was his saw-shaped nose. He had long, black hair sprouting from the back of his neck, reaching down to his shoulders, under a brown ushanka, covering his head. He had a fin on his nape, surrounded by his hair, and the gills are located on both the sides of his neck. His Sun Pirates tattoo was on the left side of his chest, while his own Jolly Roger was on his lower left arm.
His attire was composed of fashionable, light clothes, reflecting his rich status. He wore a sleeveless, unbuttoned yellow shirt decorated by many black lightning-like spots, Bermuda shorts that were a puke green color, a purple sash around the waist and simple sandals. He was also sporting a lot of jewels: like the golden chain bracelet around his left wrist and two golden bracelets around each ankle, with straw-like decorations hanging from them. Good God, Naruto never wanted to punch a person so much in his entire life!
"Hey boy, are you deaf, what the hell are you doing here!?" Arlong bellowed at the blond.
"I'm here in regards of The Knight of the Sea, "Saw-Tooth" Arlong you are under arrest." Naruto boldly said to the fishman, "However, I'm willing to disregard these orders if you join my Captains crew."
"Shahahahaha!" Arlong bellowed in laughter, causing his entire crew to laugh along with him. Apparently it was one big joke to the ruler of the island. "That is a good one boy! Oh, I haven't laughed like that in years. Now be serious, what are you here for?"
"I'm being serious here Arlong. Before I left Fishman Island, I saw my Captain with your Jolly Roger tattooed on his forearm. He never told me about you, and it would put me in better graces with him if I recruited you and your crew to our cause. If not…well I have my orders, so it's a win-win situation for me."
That statement caused Kuroobi; the ray fishman to raise an eyebrow. He could have sworn the young man in front of them was a human. "You're from the island? You certainly don't look like a fishman to me boy."
Glaring at him, Naruto turned to the side to show the dorsal fin sticking out from the back of his vest, which was resting comfortably next to the handle of his giant axe. "As you can see, I'm a fishman." He then flashed his sharp teeth at them. "I believe that proves I'm of your species."
"I'll be damned, a half-breed." Chew; the smelt-whiting fishman whistled in astonishment as if he was viewing a rare species.
"I'm not a half-breed you gay asshole!" It took a lot to make Naruto mad, and being called a half-breed was one of them, pointing to his gills on his neck and the thick black tiger stripes on his arms he said. "I'm a full blooded fishman, the proud son of a fishman and a mermaid."
"Whatever kid. I hate to tell you this but your journey was a complete waste of time. Now why don't you go away and cry to your mother."
"I don't have a mother to cry to. I have not cried since both my mother and father were taken from me, and when Queen Otohime was assassinated."
That last bit of news stunned the members of the Arlong Pirates. Queen Otohime was dead? A couple of them felt a twinge of loss, she was a good woman; for a mermaid that is. Arlong however smiled at the news, and he even gave a big belly laugh afterwards.
"Shahahahaha! This is great news, boy you do not know how much her speeches annoyed me. Equality with humans, what a joke! A good human is a dead human, especially what they did to Fisher Tiger!"
"The loss of Fisher Tiger was a great tragedy for our kind." Naruto agreed with Arlong on that statement, after all one didn't train under Jinbe without hearing stories of his old crew, especially the legendary Fisher Tiger. But his blue eyes turned to ice when he badmouthed the queen. "But I suggest you watch your mouth, you do not disrespect the honored dead."
"Our Captain can disrespect anyone he wants to you little twerp! Now get the hell out of here while we're still in a good mood!" One of the crew members bellowed at the tiger shark fishman.
"And you can bite me!" Naruto angrily retorted. "I'm not leaving until-" The blond didn't get a chance to finish his sentence when he was forced to jump away from a speeding water bullet that left a nasty hole in the ground. Once he landed he glared at the smelt-whiting fishman who was puffing his cheeks for another shot of water.
"Don't miss him this time Chew." Arlong ordered.
"Water Gun!" Chew gurgled before he spat a shot of water from his mouth at high speeds and pressure. It was a simple, but deadly technique that was compared to a flintlock pistol's bullet. Naruto however stood his ground, forcing a droplet of water into his right palm; he shot off the water bullet straight at Chew's water technique.
The two techniques impacted each other for several seconds before Naruto's destroyed the Water Gun bullet. The water bullet hit Chew's forehead with devastating impact, and the smelt-whiting fishman blinked twice, feeling the warm watery blood from the inch-wide, perfectly circular hole pouring from his forehead before slumping over, and hitting the floor dead to the world.
"Kill him!" Arlong bellowed.
Gripping the handle of his axe, Naruto pulled it from his magnet interwoven vest, and swung it at the first charging fishman, cleanly cleaving him in half. Another fishman pulled out a flintlock pistol and shot at him, the blond lowered his giant axe, deflecting the bullet, and grabbing the chain he swirled it and the fifty pound iron ball at the end of it in the air, launching it into a devastating wide arc that caught several unsuspecting fishmen by surprise. The iron ball hit one unfortunate fishman in the ribs, shattering them into splinters that penetrated his organs, while the chain swept four of Arlong's crew members away from him; cutting an unfortunate one in half.
His eyes hardening in anger at the whelp harming his crew, Arlong turned towards Hatchan; the octopus fishman. "Hachi, call in our pet. This brat is a dangerous one."
The octopus fishman look at his Captain, stunned that they would call their beast out so early. But is it was necessary to prevent any more losses of his friends he had to do it. Bringing his four hands to his mouth, he screamed out into the ocean, "Come on out Mohmoo! I've got an extra snack for you today!"
Naruto had to hold back a wince when he heard Hachi's voice, it was just that damn loud! But incidentally it also held off his attackers, they all had wide, vicious smiles on their faces; that honestly couldn't have been good news.
Barely ten heartbeats later a gigantic form emerged from the sea. It revealed a giant white and green patched sea cow. He had a big round nose with a gold nose ring, cow-esque face and horns, with flipper for feet and a tail that allowed him to swim fast…but to Hachi's surprise the thing already had a lump on its giant head.
"Ahhh! Mohmoo what happened to you!?" He then turned to Naruto, who was looking at them like they were a bunch of idiots. "You! What did you do to Mohmoo!?"
"Me? I didn't do shit to him. And what the hell? You guys have a freaking sea cow, the most useless beast of the sea. For the love of God, my father used to hunt those for the restaurant before he died!"
"Don't insult Mohmoo!" Hachi screamed at his enemy. "Go on boy, get him!" When nothing happened the octopus fishman looked to see the gigantic sea cow cowering, and crying when he looked at the blond. To the sea cow the tiger shark fishman just reeked of anger and hate, and his self-preservation instincts were screaming at him to not fight him.
"Don't do it cow. I'll eat you if you do." Naruto threatened the sea creature.
"Mohmoo what are you doing?" Arlong's voice caused the creature's spine to straighten, the blond was scary, but Arlong was also just as terrifying. "Don't just sit there, deal with that brat!"
Mohmoo looked back and forth between his master, and the scary tiger shark. The beast was beginning to sweat in fear, he was stuck in between a rock and a hard place, and both would hurt him no matter what he did.
"Mohmoo." Arlong spoke in a threatening tone.
The sea cow knew that he couldn't defy his master; he knew that Arlong would provide a vicious punishment upon him if he didn't follow his orders. So hoping that the tiger shark fishman would have some sort of mercy upon him, he turned toward Naruto bellowing a loud, "MOOOOO!"
Naruto shook his head with a frown on his face, what a stupid creature. "You are screwed. You know that right?"
(The outskirts of Cocoyashi Village-Five miles away)
Meanwhile within the outskirts of Cocoyasi Village, the members of the Straw Hat Pirates learned the truth about their certain orange-haired navigator's betrayal. From what they learned, Nami was forced to join Arlong's crew after he over took the village and murdered her adoptive mother, and the only way to free herself and the island was to buy it off the cruel fishman at the cost of one-hundred million beli.
Nami had save up to ninety-three million beli, almost enough to buy their freedom, but then Nezumi; a corrupted Marine Captain ransacked her home under Arlong's order, shot her adoptive sister, and stole her stolen; but hard-earned funds. Now she had nothing, and out of anger sliced into the tattoo on her shoulder in a desperate attempt to be rid of it.
It was only due to her Captain, Monkey D. Luffy that prevented her from mutilating herself any further. He was a relatively normal-sized muscular human with tan skin, messy black hair, and black eyes. His attire was extremely simple which consisted of blue cutoff jeans, sandals and a buttoned up sleeveless red vest. He also had a scar with two stitches underneath his left eye, and his signature straw hat was upon his navigator's head for the time being.
The first mate of the crew leaned against the nearest tree after hearing the tale of woe. He was Roronoa Zoro, an average sized, muscular young man with lightly tanned skin and cropped green hair. His current attire consisted of an open, navy blue shirt decorated with light blue whirlpools and visible bandages to cover up a newly received wound. He wore black trousers tucked inside black boots with a pure white sword bundled up with a green haramaki over his right hip. He had three identical gold earrings on his left earlobe, and a black bandanna tied around his left bicep.
The sniper of the crew was Usopp, a slim, somewhat dark-skinned teenager with medium-length black curly hair and a long nose. He wore of an olive green plaid bandanna, a blue and white striped armband on his left arm, special sniper goggles, brown overalls with a white sash and no shirt underneath. He also carried a yellow satchel with him that held various tools, and of all things, a slingshot as his weapon of choice.
The final member of their crew was their chef named Sanji, a slim, yet muscular, long-legged young man with blond hair that he kept brushed over the left side of his face to reveal black eyes, and an odd curly eyebrow. He was dressed better that the rest of his crew mates wearing a black, double-breasted suit with a black tie and long-sleeved blue pinstripe shirt. Currently he was smoking a cigarette that was nearly down to the butt.
Nami looks up at her former Captain, a man she betrayed, stunned that he place his most prized possession on her head. His black eyes burned in in fury at what Arlong did to his friend.
"Nami, leave this to us. Arlong will pay for what he did to you." Luffy said to his crew mate.
"But you can't fight him, he's too strong! Another guy came to tried to do the same thing, and he's probably shark food by now." Nami begged Luffy to reconsider, before she could continue a gigantic looming shadow appeared above them, and at least half the crew screamed in terror when the gigantic shape crashed where they were standing barely ten seconds ago.
"What the hell is that!?" Zoro demanded.
"Hey wait a second, Luffy it's that cow that we beat up." Sanji pointed at the unconscious sea creature.
"What the-impossible!" Nami exclaimed deliriously. "Mohmoo…how? We are at least five miles from Arlong Park, what kind of monster can throw something that heavy?"
"Maybe it was that guy that you told us about?" Zoro said.
"No way, even if he is a fishman there is no way he could do that."
"Only one way to find out, come on guys we have Arlong's ass to kick!" Luffy happily exclaimed before running off to where he saw the giant sea cow fly from.
Sanji only sniffed the air and look towards Usopp. "Did you shit yourself?"
(Arlong Park)
"Dear God in heaven," Hachi whispered in disbelief.
Naruto pulled off what most of them thought was impossible. He survived Mohmoo's infamous belly flop of death, he actually lifted the sea cow over his head, and threw the beast away, destroying the gate and half the trees surrounding Arlong Park in the process.
That was not all. His muscles were bulging, not the athletic type, but the body building type. And his eyes, once blue at the sea itself were nothing but pure crimson. Naruto snarled at the grunts and raised both his arms, calling upon the water within the pool of Arlong Park. And just like in his fight with Ace the water obeyed his manipulation, four water spirals spinning in motion to the point where it was nothing but compactly pressured water spears.
"Water Fang Bullet!" He bellowed, thrusting his arms outwards, and the spinning water drills surged fourth, impaling several members of the crew. After four of the fishmen fell down dead, the ones with pistols aimed and fired at the blond. Instead of hitting him the tiger shark jumped into the air and dived head first into the ground.
"Where did he go!" One of the crew members cried out in fear.
"I don't know!" Another screamed before dropping his flintlock pistol, and drawing his cutlass.
"Oh man we're screwed. Did you see that kid, he ain't normal." Another fishman holding a dagger sweated.
"Relax, we're back to back, there is no way that-"
The words died in that fishman's mouth when Naruto's body exploded from underneath their feet. The three fishman screamed in horrific pain when they fell prey to his Shredding Shark technique. It was a simple technique that had Naruto spin extremely fast forward-or in this case upwards with his dorsal fin in front turning his entire body into a high speeds that ripped apart anything it touched. And well…they were considered nothing more than scraps of meat when Naruto was done with them.
That was the scene that the members of the Straw Hat Pirates-minus Luffy who got lost on the way, several villagers, and Zoro's former bounty hunting partners; Johnny and Yosaku saw the carnage the blond was inflicting upon Arlong's crew. They also saw him hurling his gigantic axe, slicing apart two more unfortunate fishmen while the iron ball crushed another's head, and the chain tore an unfortunate clown fishman's arm off.
As he descended Naruto opened up his mouth, and unleashed a powerful jet of water at his victims. And the villagers, many of them who were prepped for revolting against the crew looked on in horror and disgust when the water obliterated the first unfortunate fishman, and then proceed to devastate the entire area around them. After he ceased his attack Naruto rotated forward, building up extreme speed building and momentum until he slammed into the one-armed fishman with both of heels screaming, "Double Spiral Axe Kick!"
A few people actually fainted when the one-armed fishman exploded into a shower of blood, and Naruto left a ten foot crater of blood and organs. Spitting to the side the blond brought up his right arm, and gave the three remaining members of the crew a 'come at me' gesture with his hand.
It was Kuroobi who rose to the challenge; rushing at the blond he raised his right arm to hit Naruto with his One-hundred Tile Punch, an attack strong enough to send his opponents flying. Naruto easily ducked underneath it, nailing him with his own punch right in the ribs, sending the ray fishman flying away from him instead.
After skidding to a stop, Kuroobi held his right side gingerly, after one punch he could feel at least three broken ribs. "Impressive young one, you managed to beak three of my ribs. That hasn't happened since Fuguki-sensei beat the unloving hell out of me in my first days at the dojo."
"Yea, that puffer fish was always a cruel teacher." Naruto agreed with him.
"Oh, so you're a student of Fishman Karate as well. For one as young as yourself you have to be at least level twenty-eight." Letting go of his ribs the ray fishman ran at him once again, "Too bad you're no match for a level forty like myself!"
'Level forty? Geez he fights like a level ten.' The tiger shark fishman thought to himself. He met Kuroobi head on; he punched out with his right fist, only for it to be deflected by his opponents left palm. So Naruto tried to nail him with a left openhanded strike, but to the ray fishman grabbed his fist in an iron grip, twirled on his right heel, and slammed the back of his left arm-fin into the back of his opponent's neck.
Naruto let out a strained cry of pain when he felt the pressure against his neck. Most of his body lost sensation as he was flung forward, and hit the ground rolling. He coughed several times just to get his breathing under control. He had taken many beatings in his life, and he always got back up from them, but this was something very different.
"That was my Arm Blade Slash boy," Kuroobi said with a smug grin. "Many fighters don't know this, but the back of your neck is very important. If your neck takes too much abuse, like what I just did to you, they could lose sensation in their bodies, or even become paralyzed." He walked over towards his downed opponent and picked him up by the neck, "Fortunately for you I didn't feel your spine break, but you're extremely numb aren't you?"
"Actually…I feel rather refreshed," Naruto smirked at him, which was wiped off when the pale fishman backhanded him. "Aww was that supposed to be a love slap? Sorry but I don't swing that way." His smart mouth was rewarded with another backhand, this time dislodging some teeth.
"Tell me boy did it please you to kill my crew mates? To butcher them like animals, you may be one of my kind, but even we are more humane than you!"
"Really? If you're so humane then why come to this stupid island? Why charge outrageous taxes to these people? Why recruit a human into your crew, and why shoot her mother with a gun right in front of her? Tell me is that humane, I call it cruelty." Naruto spat into his opponents face.
"That is none of your concern!" Kuroobi rose his right fist, "You should be honored boy, not many get a chance to witness my ultimate instant kill technique, the One-thousand Tile Punch!" Then he punched at his face to finish him off.
Or he would have if Naruto didn't scream out "Wrath of Jaws!" He opened his mouth wide open, and bit down on his opponent's clenched fist, biting everything off at the knuckles.
The shock of losing all of his fingers involuntarily caused Kuroobi to release his opponent, and grab the stumps of what used to be his fingers. This gave Naruto his chance of taking his opponent down; clenching his right fist he punched the ray fishman in the knees, shattering the bones and forcing him to kneel. Then he punched him in the shoulders, rendering his arms useless due to even more shattered bones. If not for his strained throat Kuroobi could have screamed his lungs out, but instead he could only look into his opponents eyes.
Spitting the fingers from his mouth, the blond looked at his defeated opponent. "You may be level forty, but that is no match for a level sixty like myself." Naruto said shocking the injured fishman, "And to truthfully answer your question, it does not please me to do this to my kind. Rest peacefully knowing that fact." His final words said to the ray fishman, Naruto delivered a devastating punch to Kuroobi's sternum, shattering ever his entire ribcage with the kinetic force of the technique. "Five-hundred Tile Break." He heard his opponent say his devastating technique.
Falling onto his back Kuroobi couldn't help but think of the power that young man had, his last punch was perfect, and he died knowing that he was bested by the better opponent.
On the sidelines Genzo placed one of his hands on his scarred face, the police officer felt the sting of that particular fishman's swords that scarred him for life. And for eight years he still felt the pain he gave him with each and every wound on his body, but now that he saw him dead on the ground he felt the pain from his wounds finally leave him. And tears came to his eyes, oh God it was such a relief.
But for Nami, it was a complete shock. Kuroobi was the second most powerful fighter in Arlong's crew, and to be taken down by some no name shark fishman that looked almost human…it was almost inconceivable. And for the first time in her life she felt something he almost forgot about: Hope.
"Arlong!" A familiar voice alerted the crowd, the members of the Straw Hat Pirates turned around to see their Captain racing towards the scene.
From the look in his eyes it was something akin of tunnel vision. And knowing Luffy he didn't see the carnage in front of him, the tan tiger shark fishman, or any of them in particular. All he saw was the monster that hurt his friend. Luffy jumped over everybody with ease, screamed his lungs out at Arlong to fight him, and then was promptly backhanded by the blond fishman; sending him through whatever was left of the gate…and through the village where they heard the shattering wood from several houses from two miles away.
"Don't interrupt my fight!" They heard him scream at the teenager's flying form.
'That might teach my idiot Captain a lesson…I hope.' Zoro thought to himself, while Usopp looked flabbergasted at what he saw.
After backhanding the rude human out of the park, Naruto turned towards the last remaining members of the decimated crew. This time it was the octopus who charged at him with six swords of all things. He began swinging all six swords wildly, forcing the tiger shark to frantically duck and dive away from the sharp blades. When Hachi swung all six arms diagonally, the blond fishman had to backflip several times until he reached his axe.
"Back down octopus, my beef is with Arlong, not you." Grabbing the handle of the weapon with his right hand and the chain with his left, he gave a threatening gesture by swinging the ball and chain.
"I will not!" Hachi cried, actually cried with tears pooling down his face. "I cannot let you go, not after what you did…Chu…Kuroobi. We…we were going to open a takoyaki stand together, and you killed them! I cannot allow you to live! Zero Visibility: Hachi Ink Jet!" The octopus fishman spat out a stream of black ink at the blond.
"Shit!" Cursing Naruto sprinted to the side to avoid the attack that was obviously meant to blind and incapacitate. If he was hit, that was it, game over, if he couldn't see he would not have been able to get to the pool to wash off, and with those six swords he would be considered nothing but sushi. So to try and make things even he opened his mouth, and forced a large torrent of water at the octopus fishman, mixing ink and water together.
It soon turned into a battle of wills between the two, water and ink trying to overpower each other. It was the blond who trudged on forward, trying to overpower his opponent until he was five feet away. His respect for the octopus went up a notch, because people couldn't stand up to such a powerful stream of water, and trust me many tried to duplicate that technique, and failed miserably.
Gripping the handle of his axe, Naruto swung it to cleave his opponent in half. But Hatchan pointed all his swords together out in front of him with their back edges all pointed to each other and arranged in a circular array over his chest to block the attack. The two cut off their attacks, and began a desperate struggle to overwhelm each other.
It wasn't until Hatchan split his swords apart, which caused Naruto's weapon arm to go wide, leaving him defenseless to a devastating headbutt to his chest that flung him into the air. "I got you now! Taste the fury of the second best swordsman on Fishman Island!" Hatchan bellowed, "Six-Sword Style Ultimate Technique: Six-Sword Waltz!" Spinning all six swords over his head like a fan blade, he was intending on shredding his descending opponent to pieces.
As Naruto fell to the ground he swung his axe in a last ditch attempt to defend himself from the onslaught of blades. Now either it was the purest luck or something else entirely, but when the double-headed axe hit the fan of blades, they all shattered into pieces.
Hachi looked at his broken blades in disbelief, and then he looked at Naruto giving him his infamous shark-like smile. "If you survive this, open that stand of yours." After saying his final words to the octopus fishman, the blond delivered a wicked uppercut, and sent Hachi flying out of Arlong Park and into the sea.
"Huh, didn't think that would happen." Naruto said to himself before turning towards Arlong, "But now that everyone else out of the way, it's just you and me Arlong!"
"You…you brat!" Arlong snarled, finally standing from his throne. He couldn't believe it, his entire crew was gone, wiped out by a no name brat. "How dare you!"
"Oh how dare I?" Naruto mocked the enraged fishman. "How about this, how dare you. You were nothing more than a small fry on Fishman Island, constantly picked on, then you left and formed what used to be the Arlong Pirates, joined the great Fisher Tiger, and then got your sorry ass arrested after he died.
"After getting released you got into one last fight with Jinbe, and after he beat your sorry ass into unconsciousness to the point where you needed to be carried off, you arrived at this island. And from what I've seen you just bullied the weak into doing what you wanted. You may be 'the most powerful pirate of the East Blue' where it's considered the weakest part of the ocean, but all I see in front of me is a bitch!"
Naruto's rant was the last straw for the sawshark fishman roared in fury. "Shark on Darts!" Arlong used his powerful legs to lunge at the blond like a torpedo with his unbreakable nose. He was fast, but his speed obviously dwindled while he ruled the island, having Naruto barely dodging the attack with his honed reflexes.
When Arlong crashed into the nearest wall Naruto kept up his insults to further enrage his opponent. "You know, Master Jinbe told me a lot of stories during our times on the surface, interesting stuff by the way," He paused to leap out of Arlong's attack, and getting a small cut on his side for his trouble. "Is this all you can manage? How the mighty have fallen!"
"Shut up you brat!" The sawshark bellowed. Reaching underneath the back of his shirt he pulled out a flintlock pistol, but before he could even get a shot off he was greeted with a punch to the mouth that shattered all his teeth, throwing him backwards into the gigantic building he used as a headquarters.
Picking up the dropped pistol Naruto growled just seeing the damn thing. "And to top it all off you're using a gun, does it make you happy to use something that can easily end someone's life?" He crushed it in disgust and threw the remains to the side. "Fisher Tiger would be disappointed in you, especially lowering yourself to the Tenryubito's level by forcefully branding you mark on another living being. You're lower than scum!"
On the sidelines the villagers looked on in a mixture of awe and hope. The once invincible Arlong, their tyrant of eight years who once was like an angry God was now…there just wasn't a word to describe what they were witnessing.
Nami in particular was feeling her heart thumping against her chest. Never did she think that Arlong, her long time tormentor could be fought, let alone hurt. And when she saw said fishman bursting out of the building wielding a gigantic black pole with six saw-toothed patterned black blades, resembling a shark's saw-like teeth.
"The Kiribachi (Saw Shark), look out!" She screamed at Naruto.
"Well this has escalated quickly." Naruto said with his shark-like grin. "Awesome, I always wanted to see how my Saibannin Kayiouumi (Judge of the Ocean and Sea) could stand up to another weapon." Readying his gigantic anchor axe, the blond blocked the zanbato classed sword with the side for the axe head. The two weapons clashed in a horrible screech of metal, sparks flew from the side of the axe, and Arlong laughed.
Naruto however narrowed his blue eyes and did the unthinkable. He let go of his weapon, bolted forward, and shoulder tackled the sawshark fishman. The force of the blow shattered some of Arlong's ribs, causing his to cough out in a mixture of surprise and pain when they both smashed through the wall of his headquarters.
Once inside the dining area they both rolled around in a fit of violence, their fists striking each others sides, their knees striking whatever they could, hell Naruto even managed to bite into Arlong's chest and completely tore the sun tattoo from his flesh. That devastating action caused Arlong to roar out in pain and fury before slugging Naruto right in the mouth, and sending him into a table.
"You. Fucking. Insect!" Arlong bellowed at his assailant. His webbed hand going to his chest to futilely stem the bleeding from the loss of his tattoo, "That tattoo meant a lot to me!"
Flipping the busted section of wood off of him, Naruto stood glaring at his target. Spitting the flesh onto the floor the blond grinned mockingly at Arlong. "You don't deserve something like that. As I recall Fisher Tiger never once did anything more than beat the crap out of people, he never killed one, let alone enslave them. You're nothing more than scum Arlong."
Snarling in response Arlong regrew his shattered teeth, then he yanked them out of his mouth, regrew them again, and pulled them out, after regrowing them one last time he assaulted Naruto with the snapping weapons. Fully knowing that getting hit by one of them would hurt Naruto ducked and dived out of the way; Arlong lashed out with one of the teeth-castanets and took out a chunk out of a wooden pillar.
"Shit!" Rolling away Naruto planted his feet on the ground, and back flipped several feet away until he found himself behind the bar. From there he found the bottles of booze and began throwing them at the sawshark fishman. Several of the bottles missed the charging fishman, but when he got close Arlong was nailed on the stomach, his right leg, his left arm; causing him to drop his tooth-weapon, and even once on his nose. But despite glass piercing his flesh and the blood running down his body he grabbed Naruto by the throat before he could throw another bottle of booze at him.
Giving the blond a vicious smile of victory, Arlong wasted in no time in piercing Naruto's right side with his tooth-weapon. He reveled in the agonizing look that was given when he did so, but it quickly died when the wine bottle in Naruto's right hand smashed against his head. He screamed when he felt the glass tear into his skin, and through his right eye; blinding him. He then screamed even more when the neck of the shattered bottle plunged into his neck, right where his internal carotid artery was.
Feeling his opponent's grip slacken, Naruto pried himself free. Afterwards he curled his right fingers and punched Arlong right in the stomach, after making contact he fully formed his hand into a fist putting more power behind the attack, sending a great deal of kinetic force through Arlong's body, shattering several bones. "Thousand Tile Shatter Fist!"
If Arlong didn't know pain by this point he certainly knew it by now. He screamed until his voice became hoarse when he felt his guts turn to mush, and his bones shattering. He felt his feet leaving the ground and blasted through one of the walls and into the courtyard once again.
On the outside of the building the citizens of Cocoyashi Village held their breaths in anticipation. For the past five minutes they heard nothing but the sound of fists against flesh, screams of anger and agony, and what sounded like breaking glass.
It was around that time when a bruised Luffy joined them, who in turn had to be held back by both Zoro and Sanji. He was extremely pissed off, not by the way he was backhanded by the blond, but how he was stole his fight with the jerk that dare hurt his crew mate. It was only when a bloodied and battered Arlong crashing through the wall did he stop shouting.
Arlong was a literal wreck. His left pictorial muscle was nothing more than a mess of hanging meat, his right eye completely gone, glass jutting from left arm and his right leg and whatever was left of his stomach...and was that the neck of a wine bottle sticking out of his neck? The worst was his entire torso; several townsfolk lost their lunch, or fainted from the sheer multitude of bones jutting out from underneath his skin. And despite all those injuries Arlong was still alive.
Coming out of the hole in the building was the fishman who started the fight. He looked worse for wear with several parts of his pants slightly dirtied and torn from their fight from the inside, and the right side turning a fine crimson color due to the blood dripping out of the wound that still held Arlong's set of teeth. The tiger shark was also bruised in several areas, especially in his neck area where it looked like he was strangled.
Grabbing a hold of the teeth in his side the fishman pried them off his side with a grunt, and tossed them to the side. He was in pain, after all he was 'bitten' by possibly the strongest teeth of Arlong's generation, but it didn't stop him from spitting to the side before opening his broken-toothed mouth. "And so ends the mighty Arlong, it's a shame that it had to be like this my Captain-"
"Fuck your Captain!" Arlong coughed out a massive amount of blood. He could feel the bone fragments in his pierced lungs, he could feel the blood pooling around his gigantic frame, but he honestly couldn't believe he was dying because of Jinbe's no-name attack dog and whoever his Captain was. "And fuck you too! You cannot beat me I'm the invincible Arlong! I single-handedly took over this pitiful island, I command the most powerful fighting force in all the East Blue! You can't beat me you no-named bastard child!"
After his speech Arlong began choking on his own blood, and fury coursed through Naruto's veins. His eyes began to turn crimson once more, this muscles bulging once more, adrenaline coursing through his system. "My name is Uzumaki Naruto, you son of a bitch!" He then turned around and with a great amount of effort he pulled the wooden building straight from its foundations. Naruto's arms were shaking like crazy, his legs nearly bucking from under him, but he didn't care, he just wanted to kill Arlong in the most inhumane way possible. "And I suggest you remember that when I send you to hell!"
"Oh my God! Run for your lives!" Genzo screamed.
"Awesome!" Luffy screamed out in excitement.
"Run you idiot or you'll die!" Zoro grabbed his Captain by the back of his vest, and dragged him away from the area.
"You run faster swordboy!" Sanji shouted with several of the unconscious civilians on his shoulders.
After they somewhat cleared the area of soon to be devastation, Naruto slammed the building down on Arlong.
"God, what a mess." Zoro muttered before chucking a large wooden beam away from ground zero.
"Hey! Watch it moss-head!" Sanji bellowed at his crew mate after he dodged the beam.
"Knock it off you guys! We need to find that blond guy!" Luffy scolded the first mate and cook of his crew.
It took fifteen minutes for the dust to clear after Naruto literally dropped the huge-ass building on the most hated being on the island. Then almost immediately the good people of the village began searching for the fishman who saved them from the tyrant. Now was it weird that they were looking for a fishman? Yes. Was it somewhat ironic? Pretty much. Did they care? No, no they did not. To the men, women, and children of Cocoyashi Village the blond fishman was their saving grace, and they would be damned if they didn't do everything in their power to save him even if he was a fishman.
"Hey! I found something!" Usopp bellowed from his area.
Both Luffy and Zoro made their way over to the area their sharpshooter managed to clear. It wasn't the body of Naruto or Arlong, but their two weapons. Zoro tried picking up the anchor axe and actually found himself actually trying to lift it. He knew that the fishmen were strong, but damn the tiger shark was around their age and could lift the damn thing with ease? It made him feel weak…or was that the sudden blood loss from his popping stitches? Yea, it was probably the latter.
After setting the thing down where it belonged for now, the green-haired swordsman made his way over to their navigator. She seemed stunned, and he couldn't blame her, after eight years of servitude for a monster like Arlong and finding yourself free, it could be a lot to take in.
However before he could give her consoling words a guy like him could offer, they all heard a loud clapping sound. They turned to see Captain Nezumi of the Marines. He was an average-sized man with the appearance of a rat with whiskers on his face with a minor brown soul patch on his chin, and rat ears attached to his marine cap. His uniform consisted of a long-sleeved white Captain's coat, black pants, and nicely shined black leather shoes. And surrounding him was a ship full of Marines, and the cabin boy carrying a large sack on his back.
"Well isn't today my lucky day? I had the chance to watch a very interesting fight from the beginning to the end. However no one will believe that a lone fishman would single-handedly defeat Arlong and his entire crew." He then began to crackle, the sin of Greed oozing from his entire body. "And because of this, every single beli in this village will be mine! Drop your weapons, I, Captain Nezumi of Unit Sixteen will be happy to accept all of the treasure!"
Before he could give the command to his men to open fire, declare this horrible tragedy the work of the now deceased Arlong, and take the credit for killing him himself. A bandaged tiger striped arm burst from the rubble and latched onto his face. The rat-like man screamed in horror and pain as five fingers dug into his skull.
His assailant was none other than Uzumaki Naruto. He looked like an absolute demon, his eyes crimson, blood pouring from his wounds, and his muscles budging in anticipation. "So…you're a Marine Captain? Huh, all I see is a corrupt piece of trash!"
"Get your hands off me you stinking fish!" Nezumi managed to wiggle his mouth free of the blond's hand. "My men will shoot you if you try anything!"
"I doubt that." Naruto gave him his infamous shark-like grin. His teeth were still cracked and missing, but he simply regrew them, causing Nezumi to urinate himself. "After all we're near my element." Focusing on the water around him, Naruto fell within himself to shape and control the water all around him. His eyes flashed once, and he struck. Water drills erupted from the pool, the various puddles he created from his fight, and even the ocean around them. Dozens upon dozens of spinning water drills impaled the Marines Nezumi brought with him, all of them died due to a single strike to the heart, leaving only the sniveling human in his hand, and the cabin boy who lucked out and fainted at the last second.
"P-p-plea-se, don't do this! It wa-s all Arlong's idea, he bribed me. Co-me on, I have a family! You can't do thi-s to me!" Nezumi begged.
His plea for mercy was ignored when Naruto said, "I honestly don't give a damn." And crushed his head with his hand. After dropping the lifeless body to the ground he spat on the corpse. "Scum like you deserve a special place in hell."
Moving his head to the side he looked at the villagers and saw a mixture of horror and glee plastered on their faces. "What?"
"You killed them!" One of the villagers bellowed in horror.
"Well what do you expect? Those assholes were going to ransack your village, steal everything of value, and more than likely murder you. Now where the hell is Arlong?"
"Hold on kid let me take care of that wound." Doctor Nako reached into his medical bag and produced a role of gauze and a bottle of disinfectant.
"Na I'm fine," Naruto dismissed the doctor before he reached into his right pouch. "this isn't the first I've gotten hurt and I got some-fuck!" He sharply withdrew his right hand and found his fingers dripping blood and had some small shards of glass protruding from them. His eyes widened in alarm and unclasped the pouch and emptied it onto the ground.
"No…" Naruto couldn't believe his rotten luck; not only were his gauze wrappings useless, but both his eternal log pos' were destroyed, the only thing left was the pouch Hody gave him. "God dammit! Arlong you son of a bitch!" He began raging and cursing at Arlong, causing several people to back away before he went on a rampage.
Zoro watched in amusement when the blond stomped over to his anchor axe and the strange sword Arlong wielded. He raised an eyebrow when he somehow managed to sheathe the giant blade on his back without a scabbard, but that didn't matter when he saw him lift that gigantic axe with ease and began to destroy the area around him.
It wasn't until the blond found the body of Arlong that he remotely calmed down. Just seeing his crushed frame, and the flagpole speared through his heart. The fishman was dead, deader than dead, but seeing the corpse just infuriated him. "Arlong you asshole!" Naruto harshly kicked the corpse, rewarding his efforts with a sickening crack of bone, "You destroyed my only way to get back! How am I supposed to get home?! You fucking fuck! You fucking fucking fuck!" He delivered a kick each time he swore, causing many of the women to become appalled by the vulgarity, and former sailors scratch the back of their heads in embarrassment.
After finally running out of breath and getting tired of kicking the corpse, Naruto gripped the handle of his axe, lifted it overhead, and brought it down on Arlong's neck. After spitting on the body one last time he picked up the head by its hair. "Hey any of you jerks have a sack I could borrow?" He asked one of the villagers.
It was Nojiko, her shoulder wrapped in gauze from where Nezumi shot her who picked up the nearest sack she would find. After handing it to the tiger shark fishman he looked at the dismembered head as he put it into the sack and tied it around his belt.
"Thank you for that, but I must be going." Naruto thanked the bluenette, he turned to leave but her hands gripped his right forearm.
"You can't go, not with those wounds." She protested.
"I will be fine," Naruto tried to put up a tough front, but once she poked the area he was bitten, he barely held back a wince.
"See, you aren't in any kind of shape to go. Doctor! Can you get over here-" She was interrupted when Naruto jerked his arm from her grasp.
"I don't need your help; I would rather die than be treated by a human."
"Then why did you help us?" Genzo demanded, "You came out of the blue and destroyed our oppressors. For that we thank you, but it is clear you don't trust us, or you downright hate us. Tell me boy why did you do it?"
"Isn't it obvious? I was ordered to clean up the mess my master made, and that's exactly what I did. I couldn't give a damn about you or your plight." Naruto scoffed at the policeman's stupid question. Turning his back one them again, he began his trek towards the ocean when he was once again held up.
This time it was the doctor. An old man wearing a white doctor's coat with black glasses and an awesome gray mustache and goatee combo with a black bandanna on his head. He gave him a stern look before opening his pouch and deposited several rolls of gauze, a bottle of disinfectant, some painkillers and antibiotics. After snapping the pouch shut he said to him, "You may not want a human treating you, but you can treat yourself. Just think these as a thank you gift from us."
"Fine…if it means that much to you." Though he didn't want to admit it Naruto was grateful for the kind gesture. After all, that was all the medical supplies he had on him and whatever the hell Hody gave him. He would dress his wounds later, that entire pouch was specially made to be air tight so nothing could get wet.
"Hey wait a minute!" Naruto cringed in anger at being interrupted from leaving again. "Shark-man join my crew!" It was the Straw Hat kid, what was he insane? Like he would ever join a human crew.
"No." With his peace said Naruto jumped into the ocean before he was interrupted again.
Two days later Naruto unfortunately found himself completely and hopelessly lost. He came upon several small and deserted islands to take care of his wounds, but other than that he found no other signs of life anywhere. Damn that Arlong, damn his rotten soul to hell.
After several more hours of swimming Naruto saw a sign of hope, a ship, wait it was actually three ships docked on an island. Finally! He could find out where the hell he was, and if they didn't tell him what he desired…well he could beat the crap out of them until they told him what he wanted.
Emerging from the water he was about to bellow where the hell he was, but instead he smelled blood and death. "Dear God, who died here?" Walking to the shore he was greeted with the bodies of hundreds of butchered Marines. "…oh shit."
Covering his nose to ward off the stench the blond he took in the scene of carnage. The Marines were killed with a bladed weapon…no make that weapons, and they died quickly based on the wounds slicing through the major blood vessels and major organs. It also seemed that whoever killed them was fast, unnaturally fast due to the way most of them were sprawled out in the sand. Also their weapons were destroyed, curious.
After finding no more clues on the beach Naruto went to the biggest ship in the area. And sure enough he found more dead Marines with the same type of wounds, and their weapons also destroyed. "Hmm, where is the Captain? He has to be around here somewhere." He mused to himself.
The tiger shark fishman searched the entire ship until he found the Captain's quarters. The door cleanly chopped in two he stepped inside and found the deceased Captain. However unlike his subordinates he was beheaded and his cutlass was cut into six pieces. The hell? There had to some sort of explanation…but it wouldn't be in there, the smell was killing him.
After stepping outside and jumping onto the beach the blond headed further inland. It was a forested area, very beautiful, almost as beautiful as the underwater sea trees, and the best part was that there were no dead bodies. It was tranquil, calm even, much better than Arlong Park and the Fishman District. But when he walked further in the peaceful tranquility began to lessen, slowly becoming replaced with anger and malice.
"I do not like this." Naruto said to himself. The feeling within the forest was becoming tainted with each and every step he took; damn it all it was starting to creep him out.
"You shouldn't," A quiet monotonous voice answered him.
Snapping his head towards the voice, Naruto saw a man roughly around eighteen years of age. He had long straight sand-colored hair with pale grey eyes, his body was of slim build, and wore blue navy slacks, black shoes and a simple tan shirt, draped over his shoulders was a blooded white Marines jacket. Strapped to his belted hip was a Marine-issued sabre, but clutched in his hands was a katana with a black scabbard, the guard was bone white with four crescent moons that covered the dark maroon handle, and a crimson tassel hung from the end of it that held a small ceremonial bell attached to it.
"And who the hell are you?" Naruto demanded.
The stranger stood to his full height of five foot ten and started unsheathing his katana. Then suddenly he disappeared causing Naruto's eyes to blink in surprise, and reappeared in front of him with the tip of his blade to his throat. "Your death."
"Son of a bitch."
Armageddon: Hey everyone I'm back!...again.
Pvt. VFSNAKE: Dude, where the hell have you been?!
Armageddon: Well I moved to a different place last week, and I've been trying a new way to get my stuff out faster. You see I've been writing one story every single day.
Pvt. Liquor: What?"
Armageddon: Uhh maybe that wasn't the right word. What I did was I spent one day writing out Spiraling Shark, and another for Heir of the Juppongatana, and another for Hell Sharingan V2. You know that kind of stuff so I can get them out sooner.
Pvt. Fox: Did it work?
Armageddon: Partially, I got real into this fic and spent the last couple of days finishing it. Hopefully my other stuff can come out soonish, because you know...life and shit can distract me and all.
Lt. Doom: Well you got loyal fans who will always wait for you, and appreciate all the crap that come out of your head.
Armageddon: I know they do, but I bet they're wondering, "Who the hell is this person?" Well folks it's a character created by Agrurra of the Darkness, and that's all I'm saying for now. Tune in for the next chapter of Spiraling Shark to find out what the hell happens next!...man I sounded like that announcer from Pokemon, not cool man, not cool at all.
Random Guy: Nerd!
Armageddon: *shoots him* Ahhh, much better. Now I put a lot of work into this chapter, so tell me what you liked or didn't like about it.
