The Other Villain:
-x-
Luffy, Zoro, Nami, Usopp, Sanji, Johnny, Yosaku, Nojiko, Genzo, Dr. Nako and the other people from Cocoyashi Village stared at the burning remains of Arlong Park in amazement. It was hard to believe, but it was really gone, the entire thing was reduced to a big pile of burning rubble.
"Well, you've gotta hand it to the guy," Zoro commented from his spot on the ground, "Y/N knows how to make an impact. I doubt there's anyone on this island that didn't see the smoke or hear the sound of it crashing down."
"Arlong Park has... fallen..." Dr. Nako realized, it was still hard to believe.
"Whoa," said Johnny in amazement.
"What do you think happened in there?" Yosaku wondered.
Sanji, Nojiko, and Genzo popped back up out of the water after diving into it to avoid being hit with flaming rubble. "Who won?" questioned Sanji.
"With everything destroyed, you don't think..." Nojiko started. Could Red Eye have survived? Or was he really dead this time?
"Y/N..." Usopp mumbled, uncertain of his Nakama's fate.
Everyone stared at the wreckage for a moment, then some of the rubble suddenly lifted and moved to the side, and then was dropped back down to the ground. THUD! Where the rubble had been, Y/N slowly pulled himself back up to his feet and weakly held his red sword.
"Ow," he muttered to himself.
"You idiot, why'd you go and get yourself lit on fire?"
"Luffy's still in perfect shape, he won't let you kill anyone and you'll never beat him with me in my current condition."
"You... little... bastard..."
"I win. Now if you don't want to die right here, you'll let me keep control."
"I'll get you for this. And I'll kill everyone you hold dear."
"RICKY!" Nami exclaimed as Y/N staggered away from the remains of Arlong Park and walked over to her. Nami stared at the bright red eye, then glanced down at the burns that were all over his body, then settled on the bite mark on his shoulder and his blood covered arm. Y/N sheathed his sword and lifted his good arm and then pulled it back, his eye patch slipped up and off of Nami's head and end floated over to Y/N. It slipped over his head and then once again covered his red eye.
Nami instantly saw a change. Y/N's eye was watering as she saw a pain-filled grimace on his face. "You're welcome," Y/N said simply, FWUMP! Then he collapsed and would've fallen on the ground if Nami hadn't caught him.
"You know what this means, don't you Nami?" Luffy asked as he walked over and stood beside her as she held up the unconscious First Mate, "You're one of us now!"
Nami couldn't help it but tears appeared in her eyes and started streaking down her cheeks. Luffy was right, it was over. Arlong was gone. She was free! "We're Nakama," Nami sobbed in reply, causing a huge grin to appear on Luffy's face.
"He won!" Usopp shouted with a broad smile on his goofy face.
"He did it, Nojiko! He won!" Sanji exclaimed as he leapt over to hug her. SPLASH! Sanji missed and crashed into the water because Nojiko had moved over and was hugging Genzo instead.
"Mr. Genzo!" said Nojiko, "It's like a dream. I never thought I'd see this day!"
"ARLONG PARK HAS FALLEN!" the villagers cheered. The villagers rejoiced and immediately started celebrating.
Luffy laughed at the cheering villagers while Nami carefully laid down the unconscious pirate. "Doctor, get over here!" Nami ordered as she quickly shifted into 'ship mother mode'. Y/N was hurt badly.
