Book One: Treasure of the Heart (Zoro X OC)

Chapter One Hundred Thirteen ~ Flying Fish Riders

~Third~

"The flying fish just left?"Chopper asked "And they were the ones who started the attack weird" Franky said "It seemed that they received a message, maybe it was an order for them to retreat, i can't imagine why though"Robin said "Probably to set a trap"Nicole said.

"Well we're headed to their base now so we'll find out"Sanji said "Hey how about lining the deck with cannons? Sniper Usopp will blow them out of the sky"Usopp said "Good thinking bro" Franky said.

"Hey i see something"Luffy said as they approached the Flying Fish Riders base "From the looks of it i bet that's the Flying Fish Riders base"Franky said "So Kamie's friend Hatchin is being held somewhere around here right? Let's get moving we gotta save those takoyaki!"Luffy said.

"Oh before you go listen up, be careful out there okay? The Macro Gang has managed to capture me over thirty times already"Kamie said "You get captured way too often!"Usopp said, the Sunny sailed inside the enemy base but there was no one in sight, Nicole could tell there were people all around them however.

"That's weird why would anyone set their base way out here?"Zoro asked "Who knows"Sanji shrugged "Luffy you sure about this?!"Usopp called "Go! Straight ahead!"Luffy called "Shouldn't we at least go over the plan again or something?!"Usopp yelled at him.

Kamie and Pappagu started calling for their friend "Over there! There's someone in that cage!" Nicole called spotting them, the Sunny sailed in closer Kamie gasped going over to the railing and getting a closer look "It kinda looks like Hatchin"she said.

"I'm here Kamie i'm fine there's no need to worry okay?!"the caged fishman said "Hatchin it really is you!"Kamie said but then noticed something "What happened?! You're covered in ink!"she screamed "Uh well they didn't do that it's my own fault actually anyway this is a trap get out of here before they catch you don't worry i can take care of myself i'll be okay so just go!" the fishman said.

"There's something familiar about that voice"Nicole mused "Yeah, you noticed too right?"Zoro asked Nami "Uh huh the shape too, yeah i know who he is"Nami said "You do?"Luffy asked "Let's just ask him and get this over with already"Sanji said "Hey you! So how's Arlong doing these days?!"he called.

"Huh, uh not so good actually, him, Chu, Kurobi and all the others got caught by the navy i was the only one who escaped now i've given up my life of crime and i'm running a takoyaki stand, funny how time flies right?"Hatchin now revealed to be Hatchan the octopus fishman from Arlong's crew asked.

It took a hot minute for Luffy to figure it out "You! The dumb squid with the swords!"he yelled "They tricked me! Damn it all"Hatchan said "I'm right aren't i? You were one of Arlong's crew, you're the takoyaki guy what kind of crap is that?!"Luffy yelled at him, Usopp caught up the others on what had happened.

"Listen up you dumb jerk fish! Now that we know it's you there's no way we're gonna save you so you better get used to that cage! But well you know uhm just asking but are your takoyaki as yummy as everyone says they are?"Luffy asked "What a moron"Zoro grumbled.

"Hey wait a second does this mean you guys know Hatchin? He must be an old friend of yours or something"Kamie said "He's not our friend!"Nicole said glaring at her giving the mermaid quite the fright "Turn the ship around!"Usopp called "Nami-chin"Kamie pleaded, Nami sighed "Sorry we can't help you, i know we said yes at first but we didn't know this was the friend you were talking about"she said.

"Oh come on, you can't just leave him like this after coming all this way, please"Kamie pleaded "Don't worry about it Kamie just leave okay? This is a trap!"Hatchan called "This sucks, fine then i'll have to do it!"Kamie said and jumped into the water with Pappagu however they were captured.
