One Piece (Love Story) [Part Two]

Chapter Three Hundred and Thirty Four

 I'm going to make it clear that I'm not going to attempt to write out all of the Straw Hats' fights with their respective Fishmen and also, I apologize in advance if the part describing Skylar's fighting isn't the best. I tried my best, but I don't know how good it looks to you all though.

 -Chapter Three Hundred and Thirty-Four-

"Hey! Are you okay there, buddy?!" Usopp asked.

"Oh no! He's unconscious!" Chopper cried.

"Time for you two!" Wadatsumi growled at the two as he raised his foot high and stomped it down, knocking them off balance and backward. "The Captain will be so proud of me!"

"He's like a child...one big child..." I mumbled as I continued to take down Fishmen alongside the others, gaze drifting to the corner of my eye as I watched the giant. His words and actions resembled more a toddler throwing a tantrum than a grown man.

"Who's next?" Wadatsumi asked as he stomped around, knocking everyone off balance as the ground trembled beneath his feet.

"Uh...I think he said to kill that guy" one of the Fishmen said as he pointed towards Jinbe.

"The blue dude? Okay" Wadatsumi nodded as he raised his fist and prepared to strike.

"Jinbe! Behind you!" Nami shouted.

"Fishman Karate: Seven Thousand Brick Roundhouse Kick!" the former Warlord twisted his body around and kicked out his foot, halting the giant's attack. Wadatsumi cried out as he reeled back and away after his mind comprehended the pain the kick had caused him. Falling onto his back, the ground shook beneath him as a large gust of wind shot throughout the plaza—knocking a lot of people off balance. Quickly, I used one of my swords to help keep me balance while Nami wasn't so lucky and ended face planting the ground.

"Nami!" Sanji worriedly gasped. "There's a lady here! Keep those buckshot waves to yourself, you creep!" he snapped, his one visible eye alit with flames of anger. "That's it, pal!" he jumped into the air and did a small twirl before striking the top of the fallen giant's head.

"Ow! That hurt!" Wadatsumi cried as he sat up, losing his red color. "Who just hit me?!" he whined.

"Here's the deal, if you put so much as a single scratch on our beautiful Map Goddess then I'll put another gap in your teeth!" Sanji threatened.

"Map Goddess?" I sweat dropped as Robin chuckled a little. "That's a new one."

"Oh great...." Nami groaned as she stood up and dusted herself off. "Now I'm all dirty" she huffed.

"How tragic" I deadpanned, grinning at the glare she sent me.

"It wasn't my fault, that guy knocked me over!" Wadatsumi childishly whined as the Fishmen around him backed away from an advancing Sanji.

"You want to fight? Then fight me" Jinbe said as he stepped up.

"I want a piece of you too, you big dumpling" Sanji growled.

"Okay but leave us out of it!" the surrounding Fishmen pleaded. Robin used her powers to summon a giant arm that immediately knocked the Fishmen around her away as I moved my body around with ease—dodging each attack thrown at me while retaliating with my own.

"I see swordsmanship as an art of sorts—gracefully moving around to avoid your opponents before violently striking them when there's an opening. It's a song and dance if you will. So you should always move as if they're your partner guiding you then destroy them when they least suspect it."

'Strangest analogy I've heard, but it seems to work' I chuckled as I twirled away from the two weapons that jabbed right at me before swooping down and kicking the two Fishmen's legs out from under them. I chuckled as I stood up, twisting around to block one of the swords that slashed at me. "My, how rude of you to attack a woman from behind—have you no honor?" I sighed, leg jutting out as I dug my knee into the pirate's stomach before smashing the tip of my boot into his jaw and knocking him back. One of my hands rested on the ground as I stuck my leg wide up into the air, peering around at the Fishmen who surrounded me. They looked hesitant to approach before one of them finally growled and charged forward with his weapon raised.
