Chapter LIII.

Last Time.

Nojiko, Nami, Usopp, Brook, And Zoro.

Hody walked in holding his red spear, and smirked. "I never expected the Straw Hats to aid me." Nami, and Nojiko froze as they saw Arlong's Jolly Roger tattoo as Hody told the Minister about how he looked up to Arlong, and how he was only in the Army to hone his skills. He walked to the wall, and crushed it having water come rushing in as Decken ran off to find Shirahoshi on a large coral.

"Soshāku. (Rough Shark.)" Everyone but Nami, and Nojiko started to untie the guards as Hody threw the water drops from his hands at high speeds forming arrows. "Yabusame. (Arrow Military Shark.)" Neptune protected the guards from the water. Zoro used Haki to dodge the attacks before stopping in front of Hody before pulling out Shusui.

"Ittoryu: Yakkōdori. (One Sword Style: Disaster Harbor Bird.)" Zoro quickly launched a crescent like projectile at Hody, who pulled one of his men in front of him to take the attack. The Fishmen attacked having Usopp shoot seeds at them which exploded in a flower that put out an awful odor.

The water came up to everyone's waist as Zoro pulled all three of his swords, and went under to fight Hody as the others escaped. Zoro parried, and dodged Hody's attacks before Hody threw his trident at him. Zoro deflected it to the wall before Hody used Yabusame (Arrow Military Shark.) again.

"Santoryu Kokujō: Ō Tatsumaki. (Three Sword Style Kalasutra: Great Dragon Twister.)" Zoro spun around, created a water spout above them, and absorbed the attack.

Naruto, Luffy, And Shirahoshi.

Later, they came across Chopper, and Sanji who are tending to an injured Hachi before jumping down. As they talked to them, Megalo coughed up Shirahoshi getting the surrounding Merfolk, and Fishmen to gasp. "The Mermaid-Hime (Princess.) has been kidnapped!"

Now.

Naruto, Luffy, And Shirahoshi.

"Uh... Well.. Um..." Shirahoshi muttered as she looked at the crowd. "You found me!" She exclaimed as Chopper looked on in shock. "She's huge! By 'Hime.' (Princess.) do they mean..." He trailed off as he looked to Sanji who had his back turned with smoke from his cigarette blowing in the breeze.

"Sanji don't turn around! You'll die if you do!" Chopper exclaimed as he jumped on Sanji's back, and cried. "Huh? What are you talking about?" Sanji asked looking over his shoulder at Chopper. Naruto glanced back at Shirahoshi. "Shirahoshi are you alright?!" She nodded tearfully before crying out an apology.

Naruto glanced back at Hachi, and the others, and saw Sanji was petrified with several hearts around him. Suddenly, Fishermen came up, and tied them up. "What the hell?" Naruto asked looking around as the Merfolk, and Fishmen cheered before Naruto looked up. "There's something flying this way!"

"Oh come on there's no way we're fall..." One Fishman trailed off as he looked up, and saw Vander riding a coral. "Crap." Naruto reached for his knives before cutting his hands free. He cut his feet, and arms before seeing Vander who stood in shock at what Shirahoshi said to them. "You're not my type."

"Shirahoshi! Stay near us!" Naruto yelled as he activated his Hachimon. (Eight Gates.), and saw Luffy in his Gia Sekando. (Gear Second.) fly up to Vander who picked up two axes. Luffy kicked at Decken, only for him to jump in the air having Luffy kick the coral down. Luffy wrapped his legs around Vander before twisting them, and brought him down head first to Naruto.

Naruto jumped up, grabbed Vander's head down along with Luffy. Naruto quickly got up, and looked to Luffy who dropped down before cutting him loose. "Let's go!" Naruto yelled as he put Hachi, and Sanji on Megalo as Chopper, Luffy, and Shirahoshi got on, and swam away from the Fishmen.

"Wadatsumi!" A recovered Vander shouted out getting Wadatsumi to come out of the water in front of Megalo. "Gia Sekando. (Gear Second.)" Luffy quickly shot up to Wadatsumi. "Gomu Gomu no.. Jetto Pistoru. (Gum Gum Jet Pistol.)" Luffy punched Wadatsumi in his mouth, breaking off a tooth.

Zoro Vs. Hody.

Zoro, and Hody stared each other down before Hody threw water at Zoro. "Yabusame. (Arrow Military Shark.)" Zoro brought his sword in front of him in an 'X' to block the attacks. Hody swam behind him, and just as Zoro turned around, was hit by the blunt end of his spear to the floor creating a dust cloud.

When it cleared, it revealed Zoro with his swords sheathed, and holding Shusui in his left hand. Hody sped forward, and brought his spear forward just as Zoro pulled Shusui out, blocked the attack, and cut Hody across his stomach, and chest. "Ittōryū Iai: Shishi Sonson. (One Sword Style Draw and Resheath Technique: Lion's Song)"

"Damn it! I'm Running out of air!" Zoro thought before swimming up to the surface not seeing several Fishmen eating a blue, and red checkered pill making them a little muscular, and their eyes glow red. They swam after him forcing Zoro to fend off their attacks. After blocking several attacks, Zoro swung Shusui at them.

"Ittōryū: Sanjūroku Pondo Hō. (One Sword Style: 36 Caliber Phoenix.)" Zoro sheathed Shusui, and swam up as the Fishmen Pirates attacked the guards from under water. Zoro swam over to a weak Brook, Usopp, and Neptune who threw Usopp an air coral. Neptune swam under the water as Usopp put an air bubble on his, and Brook's head before throwing it to Zoro.

Neptune 'grabbed' the water beside him, and threw it forward creating a tunnel from the thrown water having Zoro drop the air coral. "Everyone swim now!" Neptune yelled as his guards, and Ministers swam out. "Ouch! Ouch!" He yelled in pain as his back gave out before Hoe swam to him. Neptune grabbed Hoe, and swam a few feet.

Only to be stopped as Hody, now more muscular, and gained red eyes grabbed him with one hand.

Naruto, Luffy, Hachi, Chopper, Sanji, Shirahoshi, And Megalo.

"I am truly indebted to you Naruto-sama, Luffy-sama." Shirahoshi said tearfully as they swam into the Sea Forest on top of Megalo. They past several schools of fish, and whales before going in the Forest, and saw the Sunny.

"Hey Franky! Thane!" Luffy yelled as Tate barked up at them. "Oh! Luffy! Naruto!" Franky yelled before noticing Shirahoshi with them. "Oh if you didn't bring a pinup girl with you?!" They landed beside the Sunny, and dropped down off of Megalo. "Franky, Thane, this is Shirahoshi." Naruto introduced Shirahoshi before continuing. "Are you two the only ones here?"

"No, Robin Mai, Emiko, and Olive was here a while ago." Franky said before hearing Jinbe walk over. "Luffy-kun, Naruto-kun. It looks like you two are stronger." He greeted Shirahoshi spoke up. "Oyabun. (Boss.) Jinbei-sama, it's certainly been quite a while since we've last met." Jinbe nodded before speaking. "I'm sorry for not keeping in touch with you Shirahoshi-Hime. (Princess.) sam-"

"Whaaat!" Jinbe yelled noticing Shirahoshi is out of her Tower. "Shirahoshi-Hime. (Princess)! Why are you here?!" He asked making Shirahoshi tear up before the others jumped off of Megalo. "Hachi!" Jinbei exclaimed seeing the state Hachi is in as Franky took him before Thane spoke up. "What the hell happened?"

"He won't say." Naruto spoke up putting his hands in his pockets as Jinbe questioned Hachi on why he was on Fishman Island. Suddenly, Sanji jumped off with a flip, and started swooning over Shirahoshi like his old self. "Well I'll be damned.. Sanji's back to normal.. Well as normal as he can get." Thane said just as Naruto jumped in front of Shirahoshi, and kicked an axe away.

"Damn he's persistent.. I thought kicking his ass would stop him." Naruto said walking over to the group. Later, the Crew watched Shirahoshi at the grave Jinbei was at earlier, and prayed at it. "That's her mother." Jinbei exclaimed making the others look to him. "She was stuck in that tower a few days after she died so Shirahoshi had to miss her funeral."

"Luffy-chin! Naruto-chin!" They looked up to see Camie, Nami, and Nojiko on a fish bus before they landed by them. They explained what happened at the Palace as Sanji swooned over the girls. Jinbei sighed as he explained he didn't want them mixed up in the Island's affair. "I'm grateful for you all for stopping Arlong's crew in the East Blue."

"But at the same time I must apologize... For I was the one that unleashed him in the first place." Jinbe confessed making Nami's, and Nojiko's eyes widened as memories came flooding back to them. Nami focused on Jinbei's sun tattoo, and remembered Arlong's on his chest. "I remember Yosaku saying that a Shichibukai (Warlord.) Unleashed Arlong to become one of them."

Sanji said as he lit a cigarette. "When I read the article of Jinbe fighting with you, it set off question's in my head.. I thought he was the mastermind controlling Arlong.." Sanji finished before blowing out smoke. "Jinbei if you have an excuse I'm willing to listen... But choose your words carefully. The hometown of our Navigators, and Naruto.. Wives."

Sanji said forcing wives out of his mouth. "Is the town Arlong chose to take over. As a result, they've been put through hell." Naruto said nothing as he glanced to see Nami, and Nojiko clench their fists. Jinbe, and Hachi explained that after Gold Roger was executed, Pirates ran wild until Whitebeard claimed the Island as his territory to keep it safe.

Jinbei went on to explain about the founder of the Sun Pirates Fishman Tiger who freed the slaves regardless of race one day from Mariejois. But believed that Humans, and Fishmen should stay separate. "Arlong, and I were apart of his crew after I dropped out of the Royal Army." Jinbe continued how they saved a slave girl, gave her the sun mark to get rid of her slave one.

And he died by being shot, and refusing a blood transfusion from Human blood after getting the girl home. "His last breath was regretting getting in the way of Otohime's dream of coexisting." He then went on to explain about Shirahoshi's mother Otohime wanted for both Fishmen, and Humans to coexist. And how she spent a long time gathering signatures for them to migrate up to the surface.

And once she got enough, and a letter from a World Nobel, was killed by a human when she was showing her work to the people. And finally how he joined the Shichibukai (Seven Warlords.) so Fishmen can get closer to Humans, and about letting Arlong, and his crew go, and was deeply sorry for not stopping him.

Naruto heard snoring as Sanji yelled at Jinbei, and Nami, as well as Nojiko forgive him as the only one they're mad at is Arlong. "Huh.. I remember hearing you walking away as Nojiko talked about their past when I met you all Luffy." Naruto said as he saw the bubble from a sleeping Luffy's nose. "Well.. And here I thought he was finally paying attention."

Thane said as Sanji kicked Luffy in the face to wake him up. Hachi groaned as he explained Hody's plan of becoming King, and remaking Fishman Island in the 'Perfect' image. Suddenly, a very large projection Den-Den Mushi came over, and projected a screen on the air bubble as Hody came on it before speaking.

"To all citizens of Fishman Island.. Can you hear me? I am the Captain of the New Fishman Pirates from the Fishman District... Hody Jones.. I have an announcement for everyone on Fishman Island.. This country will soon be destroyed. And then it will be reformed under a new King... Who will be me!"

And the new Fishman Island that I rule will have absolute laws. Anyone who wished for friendship with the Humans will be exiled from this country! The Fishman master race will not extend its hands to the Humans, when they are too stupid to even realize their proper place in society. At this moment people are coming here from the Fishman District."

The Crew, and others watched as he continued on. "They will be the new citizens of this land. They hate humans just like we do. They are comrades who wish to change this Island, just like we do. I'm sure most of you saw the death of our beloved Queen Otohime. Queen Otohime worked tirelessly in order to create a connection between us, and the Humans."

"Who killed her?! It was the Humans themselves! Even if you meet them halfway, Humans will just stab you in the back! Why can't you understand that?! You've been led astray by the Neptune family. They are pushing you down a path that leads to death. Their naive ideals are just pretty words that can never come true!"

Naruto looked down as his eyes are shadowed by his hair as they listened to Hody. "Wishful thinking that will lead you to destruction! Look at this." The picture panned to a tied up Neptune before Hody continued. "Even the once Great Knight Neptune has fallen to old age." Hody walked over as a grinning Kisame leaned against a crate full of paper.

"There is no future for this Island if an old man is left on the Throne. Attention all Fishman Island citizens! It's time to end... The old Ryuuguu monarchy." Naruto glanced as the others talked amongst themselves before redirecting his attention to the screen once more. "Kisame Hoshigaki.. A bounty of four hundred, and fifty million last I heard." Naruto thought as Hody continued.

"Three hours from now, in Gyoncorde Plaza, we will cut off the head of this worthless King. The Great Age of Pirates we're living in began with an execution.. Of Gold Roger the so called Pirate King. Since then Humans have persecuted Fishmen more than ever. So now that I have the chance, I shall execute Neptune..."

"And usher in The Great Age of Fishman when Fishmen will rule over the Humans. You've probably figured it out already but I'm in Ryuuguu Palace. And we found something interesting.." Hody brought out the letter that the World Noble signed ten years ago. "It's the piece of paper Queen Otohime risked her life to get from the World Noble."

"If it was destroyed they'd have no reason to give us another one. And we have this huge box." Walking to the box, Hody went through the names. "It contains the signatures of over half of the subjects of this country. Surely my eyes are deceiving me. How could there be so many fools who think we should kiss, and make up with the humans?!"

"Everyone who has written their names here is opposed to my new Kingdom.. In other words.. This is a list of traitors! So everyone who's on this list will be executed! First.." Hody started to go through the first page of people who signed the papers before continuing. "And the last ones are... The Straw Hat Pirates! I have something to show you."

Naruto narrowed his eyes as he stared at the screen. Hody showed Usopp, Zoro, and Brook in a cage that's hanging in a room being filled with water. "I know you're somewhere on the Island.. These Humans earned the wrath of all Fishman by destroying the ambitions of Arlong's crew! Around the same time we execute the King, this room will have finish filling with water. Killing your friends."

"'Staw Hat' Luffy with a bounty of four hundred million berries! And 'Maelstrom' Naruto with a bounty of Four hundred, and forty million berries!" Hody brought up both Luffy's, and Naruto's updated posters before continuing. (1.) "The heads of you, and your companions will serve as warnings to the Humans of the surface."

"Well... It's time to start cleaning up the old Ryuuguu Monarchy. We're going to leave behind the weakness of our past, setting course for a strong future! In three hours this country will be reborn as a proud Fishman Island!" He finished with a laugh as Naruto pinched his nose. "Well this sucks." He said with a sigh before hearing Luffy.

"Did they just say my bounty's at four hundred million?! When did it go up?" Luffy asked with stars around him. Jinbei sighed before explaining. "You fame went up after the Great War at Marineford.. One it surpasses three hundred it'll take a lot for them to raise it up again." Before anything else could be said, Shirahoshi jumped on Megalo, and swam up.

"Megalo stop!" Jinbei yelled having Megalo stop before Jinbei spoke to Shirahoshi. "Both you, and Luffy need to stop, and think for a minute." Jinbei said before Hachi spoke up. "Hime (Princess.) I think you shouldn't go.. In all of Ryuuguu Kingdom, Hody's biggest fear... Is your powers. Even if he recreates Fishman Island the way he wants it."

"It will all be destroyed if the Sea Kings attack." Shirahoshi floated down, and looked at him before Sanji spoke up. " So... Their true goal is Shirahoshi-chan?" Hachi shook his head. "Nyuu- Hody isn't planning on capturing the Hime. (Princess) and use her power... He fears the very existence of the power."

"So he teamed up with Vander Decken, and Kisame Hoshigaki since Vander wanted the Hime. (Princess) life, and Kisame as a heavy hitter. Hody plans to get rid of everything that stands in his way. " Hachi explained before Jinbei spoke up. "That's right if the Hime. (Princess goes to the Plaza it'll be playing into Hody's hands."

"I've heard the prophecy of my powers before, but I've never been able to talk with the Sea Kings before. I don't even know if I have it or not" Shirahoshi said as Jinbei looked to her. "Either way.. Hody wants to finish you off.. But we can't let Hody find out that you can't control your power. We want him to be afraid of it.. That will give us an edge."

"You done yapping?" Luffy asked making Naruto sigh as his shoulder slumped. Luffy walked forward only to be stopped by Jinbei. "No! You can't get involved.. The Fishmen that don't hate humans may change their minds.. Leave this to me!" Luffy's hat shadowed his eyes before he spoke up. "Jinbei! My friends have been captured!"

"If I don't do something they'll be in trouble!" Luffy finished making Jinbei turn around, and cracked his knuckles. "Since you don't intend to stay here, there's no other way to do this! I'll just stop you here myself." Luffy tilted his head so only one eye was shadowed as he stared at Jinbei.

Luffy ran to Megalo, only for Jinbei to dash in front of him, and punch the air. "Samegawara Seiken. (Shark Tile True Fist.)" A shockwave sent Luffy flying back into a tree making him groan. "What?! I thought physical attacks wouldn't work on a rubber man!" Nami exclaimed as Jinbe explained his attack.

"Fishman Karate true power lies in its ability to control all the water it hits. Even the ones that are in the air.. And body." Luffy got up, and went into Gia Sekando. (Gear Second.) before dashing forward."Gomu Gomu no.. Jetto Stampu. (Gum Gum Jet Stamp.)" Luffy kicked Jinbei who blocked the attack by bringing his arms up in an 'X'.

"Is that all you got out of your training?" Jinbei asked before they dashed to each other. Naruto looked down before hearing Robin. "That's enough." He quickly looked up, and saw Robin standing in between Luffy, and Jinbei. "Shit! Robin!" Naruto dashed forward, and caught each attack as he added Haki to his arms.

A shock wave went through the area as the 'Robin' blew up in flower petals revealing her to be a clone. Naruto threw them away as the real Robin as well as the other girls walked up to them. "You mustn't fight." Robin said walking to Naruto, and smiled before kissing him. "Hey Robin-chan.. Where were you?" Naruto asked as Mai floated on his back.

"Looking at a Poneglyph. It's only an apology to a Jon Boy though." Robin explained as Luffy, and Jinbei sat up. Jinbei sighed before explaining why he doesn't want them to fight. "Think about this Luffy... What do you think will happen if you go wild here on the Island? Whenever Fishmen have opened their hearts to Humans, the Humans have only worked against them."

"'Humans are brutal creatures.', 'Humans discriminate against Fishmen, and hate them.' The harsh reality of the situation is that history has only taught Fishmen to see things in a negative light." Everyone but Luffy looked down as Jinbei talked. "Even in the case of Arlong.. Quite a few of us believe humans hunted him down because he was a Fishman."

"And if you, the same people that defeated Arlong, go barging into the Plaza, and attack Hody what would happen? Even if you save Fishman Island from this crisis... They'd just see you attack Hody who is taking a stand against Humanity." Naruto felt Mai grip him tighter as Jinbei continued. "It'll only just remind them of Fishman Island's history, and convince them that nothing will change."

Sanji took a drag from his cigarette before speaking. "So you say, but Jinbei... It's natural for us to want to save our friends lives, and if we leave things as they are, then Fishman Island really will be under Hody's control. We've got many friends here on this Island... Hey Hachi?" Hachi looked over to Sanji from his spot by Chopper.

"You seem determined on not telling us who gave you those wounds.. But you also said Hody will attack Fishman who want to be friends with Humans, right? You... were attacked because you stood up for us weren't you?" Sanji asked making the others stare at Hachi. "And Jinbei.. Knowing this is your Country just gives him another reason to fight."

"Back when our Captain, and were in trouble, I heard that you were the one that saved him. "We're all indebted to you, we can never fully express our gratitude." Sanji said putting his hands in his pockets before looking to Jinbei. "If Luffy, and Naruto feels that, then we all feel that way as well. We can't just leave this Island behind."

"We have a reason to fight." Sanji finished as both Jinbei, and Luffy stood up, and stared at each other before Sanji finished. "Besides..." A heart replaced his eye as he ran around. "Caimie-chan is here! Shirahoshi-chan is here!" Naruto face palmed as he sighed. "And here I thought he'd be serious."

"Indeed! This is the Mermaid Paradise of my dreams!" Naruto looked up to see Luffy, and Jinbei argue before walking up to them.

Hody Jones.

Hody rode on a Sea Beast before grunting. "Hey.. Bring them all to me." He said as one of his men brought the plate of the drug to him. Hody ate a large handful of them all before falling to his knees, and grunted before Neptune spoke up. "That Energy Steroid does give you power but at the cost of shortening your life.. This is just the result of overdoing them."

"Shut up." Hody said glaring back at Neptune before he started screaming as his men told one who was on the ground under him what was happening. Suddenly, Hody became even more muscular, and lost his large belly. His muscles bulged in size with thick veins appearing, particularly on his arms, and his size greatly increased, becoming taller than Ikaros Much.

His dark hair had lightened exponentially. His hat flew off as he looked up, and screamed again. After a moment, he grinned before putting a hand on the Sea Beast making them all atop, and gain a scared look.

Sea Forest.

Jinbei walked to Shirahoshi, and looked up to her. "We've wasted too much time, let's go your Highness." They got on Megalo, and swam away leaving Caimie with Hachi who sat beside the Sunny. "Take care of Hachi for me Caimie!" They swam into the City, and saw a balloon of Neptune forcing Shirahoshi to steer Meglo to it. "Tou-sama. (Father.) I'm coming!"

A net captured them, and several New Fishmen Pirates took them to the Plaza where Hody, his crew, and Kisame, and his crew stood in the Plaza surrounded by the citizens. Hody now wearing a reversed colored shirt smiled at them. "So you came after all Jinbei. I used to like you back when you were more ruthless." He said with a chuckle.

"What happened to you Hody? You look different." Jinbei said looking up at Hody from his spot. Hody ignored the question before speaking. "Alright we have everyone we need. And now the only one's left are the Straw Hats, and I don't know what they'll do.. I'm guessing that they're at a loss, looking for a way inside Ryuuguu Palace."

"Even if they come here enraged by the death of their companions... We'll be ready for them." He finished as one hundred thousand Fishman, and Human slaves walked to the Plaza, and down to them. "You're causing quite the ruckus here in public." Hody looked to see Shyarly smoking from a pipe. "How undignified."

"You shouldn't let yourself get carried away like this... Hody Jones." Hody smirked before speaking. "Long time no see... What do you want?" He asked as Shyarly took a drag from her pipe. "I'd like to say something to you, since you think you've already won. I saw certain men would destroy Fishman Island." She said making him chuckle.

"We might end up destroying it. So you saw me, and Kisame?" Shyarly shook her head. "No... The men I saw destroying the Island... Are 'Straw Hat' Luffy, and 'Maelstrom' Naruto." Hody frowned at her. "What are you saying?" He asked before she started explaining. "What will they do now? I don't know but Hody I do know this much..."

"It is neither of you." The Fishmen muttered amongst themselve that Hody wouldn't rule now. Kisame reached for his sword, and glared up at her. "Why you-!" He stopped as Hody stood up before gaining water in his hand, and threw it at her. Blood flew off as Shyarly was thrown back from the attack making the citizens scream out.

"Ridiculous.. What are you implying Shyarly?" Hody asked holding more water in his hand. "I'm different from your brother... True when I was a kid everyone in the District looked up to your brother.. Arlong. But we have gained power. By now the mark of the Arlong Pirates is just an empty symbol to unite us." Hody explained walking to his seat.

"Arlong's name is completely unnecessary now! The only one who'll destroy this Country, and rebuild it is.. Me!" Hody said before throwing his hands in the air. "Look at this mob! This is our strength! My plans have been in the works for ten years! Shall I tell you who really killed the beloved Queen of Ryuuguu Kingdom? It was me! I framed a human to hide my tracks!"

Hody exclaimed getting shocked looks from Neptune, his sons, and everyone in the Plaza except everyone in his crew. "I knew it was you." Everyone looked to a teary eyes Shirahoshi who explained Megalo was a part of the Army, and saw Hody shoot Otohime, and kept it a secret so no one would hate him. "That's what Kaa-chan (Mother.) wanted!"

"Her last wish was for us not to hate the one who did it!" Shirahoshi finished as the crowd was quiet. After a moment, Hody started laughing before attacking her father, and brothers forcing them to the ground. Hody picked up a large sword, and walked to Neptune as the citizens started yelling. "Straw Hat! Maelstrom! Destroy the Island now!"

"Please protect my Tou-sama (Father)! Naruto-sama! Luffy-sama!" Shirahoshi yelled as Hody brought the sword down, only to stop as he heard something. He turned to see Megalo spit two things out of his mouth. Kisame jumped up to Hody, and grabbed his sword. Only for Naruto in his Hachimon (Eight Gates) to punch him in his stomach as Luffy in his Gia Sekando (Gear Second.) kicked Hody.

They were sent flying through the wall that was behind them, destroying it. "Damn I was hoping for it to go differently." Jinbei said as the cuffs on him, Shirahoshi, and the others were unlocked by Robins arms using a key. Suddenly, Nami, and Nojiko appeared with Nami holding the letter with the World Noble signature on it.

Suddenly, the Sunny attacked with its front canon, and landed by them. The S.H.C. including Brook, Usopp, and Zoro walked off one by one, and joined the others standing by Shirahoshi.

"Hey! 'Straw Hat' Luffy! 'Maelstrom' Naruto! Are you guys really going to destroy the island?!"

"Are you guys friends or foes of the Fishman Island?!" The fishmen shouted.

"That's up for you to decide." Naruto said as his coat blew in the breeze as the Royal Family minus Shirahoshi got away on Hoe.

(Flashback A Few Hours Ago.)

"Move!" Naruto held Luffy back as Jinbei stood in front of him as the others tried to calm them down. "Just listen to me! What kind of relationship do we have?" Luffy stopped, and looked to him. "We're friends." Jinbei nodded before explaining. "That's right. For years now it's been a struggle for Fishmen, and Humans to create a simple relationship like ours."

"The reason I don't want you to fight with Hody... Is because I don't want you to start a reckless fight. Don't act rashly! If you just beat up Hody, and his crew, you'll just be viewed as nothing but more heartless humans!" Jinbei explained walking behind Luffy, and Naruto. "Instead of that... Become the hero who saves Fishman Island!"

"Hero? No." Luffy said turning to face him as Junbei gained a shocked look. "Heroes have to share their meat with everyone! I'd rather eat the meat!" Everyone face planted at Luffy's exclamation. "Ok I'll give you meat if you'll do it." Luffy nodded quickly making the other sigh. Junbei went on to exclaimed he'll call them for help when he faces Hody, and the plan on how to get them there without being seen.

And to get their allies from Ryuuguu Palace. "If you follow this plan, how do you think the citizens will react?" Jinbei asked as Hachi spoke up. "Jinbei-san is respected by both the citizens of the Island, and the Villagers of the Fishman District." Caimie nodded as she continued for Hachi. "That's right, if everyone see that Oyabun. (Boss) trusts Luffy-chin, and Naruto-chin with his life while fighting to save the King."

"Then everyone will cheer for them." Luffy snorted before pointing to Jinbei. "I'm only doing this because you're the one who asked Jinbei!" He exclaimed as the others nodded.

(Flashback End.)

Papagg jumped down onto Luffy as he, Brook, and Usopp explained they escaped by Brook using a ghost technique to get Papagg, and get Zoro his sword, and had him cut them loose. The Crew talked amongst themselves, and ignored the New Fishmen Pirates. Naruto, and Chopper noticed the Fishmen don't look worried as they talked.

"How will Weak-Hoshi get out of here?" Luffy asked getting Shirahoshi to look at him in shock at the 'upgrade' to her name. A moment later, both Hody, and Kisame broke through the wall, and walked back to the seat Hody used as Hody explained what he'll do when he's King, and bragged about his forces getting the Crew to get ready for a fight as Sanji, and Zoro argued.

"I'll be King of the Pirates Straw Hat!" Hody said as Luffy's eyes were shadowed. Naruto who pulled his hood up, and Luffy walked up just as the forces ran to them. Both Naruto, and Luffy looked up, and used Haō-shoku no Haki. (Conqueror's Haki.) and knocked all one hundred Fishmen, and Humans except for Hody, Kisame, and their Crew's.

"That was Haki." Nojiko said in awe as the Fishman, and Humans fell down foaming at the mouth. "Your Hody right? I have to kick your ass. If you want to become King of Countries that's none of my business... But I'm the one who'll be King of the Pirates." Luffy said as Naruto looked to the standing Crew's. "Well then... Let's get wild!"

To Be Continued.

A/N: Thanks for reading, and let me know of any mistakes.

Beta: Memodo Shiki.

1. Only reason it's not higher is because Naruto's been doing nothing but training for two years as the other rookie fought/whatever they did to raise their bounties.
