My Pirate Family(One Piece fanfic)

Defeat of Arlong

Um.......... I think I'll skip most of this arc but still make it make sense to make it more interesting....

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

One problem down, two more to go. I sighed. First was to get Arlong away from Nami (from what Usopp told us Nami was held captive and roleplaying to be an evil map drawer, sounds dramatic). Then it was to conivnce Nami to rejoin us. 

"Perhaps we should get going on saving Nami," I suggested, haulting the minature celebration for Usopps return.

Luffy had a determined look on his rubber face, "Let's GO!"

~~~~~~~~~~~~

The villagers seemed to be rather rowdy compared to the usual cold and silent bunch. I heard one shout :"Yeah! For Nami!". I thought everyone hated Nami? 

"No! Don't go! You'll all be killed" a voice cried, it was Nami.

The crowd charged towards Arlong's fortress, leaving a weeping figure on her knees. She suddenly grabbed a knife and stabbed her tattoo of Arlong's symbol repeatedly while screaming "I HATE YOU!" and crying. Blood covered the ground and soaked into the girl's clothes. Nami....

I looked to my side to see Luffy's face contorted with anger, his fists clenched so hard they were white. I walked over and stopped Nami from stabbing herself.

"LET GO!" she cried, "I'm not part of your crew anymore, DON'T CONCERN YOURSELVES WITH ME!"

She tugged on my grip but i held tighter.

"You're not leaving my crew," Luffy said, calmly, his hat shading his face, "You never left. You are my nakama and no one hurts my nakama!"

There was silence.

"...Help me Luffy, Natsuki !" Nami turned around and pleaded with a helpless expression, still crying. "Help me!"

"Tell me, who did this you?" I asked.

"Who dared to hurt my nakama?" Luffy repeated.

"ARLONG!" Nami growled.

Luffy put his strawhat on Nami's head.

"Protect this for me."

I was surprised, he always kept that hat to himself. He never let anyone touch it, unless the wind stole it from him. Dammit, I'm not bothered by this....

I kept my hat on my head and followed behind Luffy walking towards Arlong's place. By the time we arrived, a crowd had already gathered and a hole was made in the wall for us to go through. Johnny and Yosaku were trying to make up a heroic tale about the arrival of their saviors, since we totally planned our timing of entrance, by the time the two finished describing the strength and courage of the heroes, we appeared and walked towards them with an ominous and dangerous atmosphere.

We entered while the villagers stared in awe, being heroes, we denied the offer to keep our bodies unharmed by the villain when villagers who used their common sense to stop us. Arlong strode out of the main palace building and scanned over us. He was surrounded and protected by fish-human friends with strange noses. 

"You are foolish to challenge, human," Arlong spat, "We are superior in strength and mind. We are different."

Arlong clicked his fingers.

Zoro jumped to intercept the land-fish-that-wields-a-katana, they engaged in an intense fight. Sanji intercepted the other fish with legs, the strength of Sanji's kick was so strong, it could be seen as shock waves creating ripples in the air.
