Chapter 16 :Surprise

Alexander and Kane were looking all around Loguetown as they were trying to explore all of the backstreets and alleys that the town has to offer .

After one hour of walking and looking around ,they heard a yelling and fighting sounds that come from a bar that's ten meters to their left.

Walking inside the the bar,Alexander had the shock of his life when he saw the man that was fighting with the drunken men.

The man was a Fish-men.A handsome Fish-men that looked like a shark.The shark-fish-man was fighting ten men that apparently disliked the idea of a new race that looked like humans and they thought that this fish-man was a easy target.

But boy how wrong they were.After one minute .they were beaten black and blue by the fish-man.

Seeing that the fight was finished,Alexander walked towards the fish-man.

As Alexander approach him,the fish-man turned towards Alexander and looked at him.

Alexander:So what are you doing here my friend?From what I know your home is in the New World.

When he heard what Alexander said,the fish-man smiled and then spoke: HAhaha,I didn't thought that a man would know about my home in this place.So who are you my friend?

Alexander:I'm Alexander Black know as the Red Mountain and this panda here is my friend Kane.

Fish-Man:Well,well so you are the new rookie how become the target of the marines.I'm Raita Sharkskin son of Arlong and Camelia Sharkskin.

When Alexander heard , Raita's declaration he was shocked. How in the World would like Arlong to that extent and even had a child with him.

After he calmed down,Alexander spoke again.

Alexander: So ,why are you here?

Raita:I'm here to hunt my father and bring him to the marines.

Alexander:I know that this may be personal,but can I ask why?

Raita: Of course. My father was a good man, but something snaped in him when Fisher Tiger died and he become evil. He beat my mother and me and when he build he's crew,my father though that he could force my mother to follow me,but she declined and used the only thing that could force my father to let us alone,her life.

Alexander: I'm sorry,I didn't know you hate him that much.

Raita: Don't worry too much, I'm ok.

Alexander:Raita Sharkskin do you want to come with me on the sea as my friend and comrade?

Raita: Basically you asked me if I want to become a pirate. Well,how could I say no when someone as interesting as you asked me this question.I accept , Captain.

After they bought all the supplies they needed for their journey , the trio embark on their ship and sailed towards their new destination.

When they arrived at Conomi islands,Cocoyasi village, Alexander got a flashback from the series.

(Flashback)

"Help me, Luffy." Nami said desperately.

She tried to get her freedom on her own, but after telling Arlong that she has the money required, he acted quickly and sent Nezumi to retrieve it to stop her from leaving. His plan worked and Nezumi left with the money, leaving Nami desperate. Meanwhile, Usopp was busy trying not get killed, Zoro was cutting random fishmen and trying not to get lost and Johnny was being completely useless as usual.

After learning of Nami's misfortune with Nezumi, the villagers took up their weapons (well, not really weapons, just whatever sharp or large objects they could find). Yosaku and Johnny ran ahead, trying to defeat Arlong out of anger, but which was a mixed blessing since, well they got beat up but they also managed to prevent the villagers from getting themselves killed.

Luffy took his hat from his head and put it on Nami's head. Her crying stopped. She knew the hat meant a lot to him.

"Keep that safe and follow behind us." he whispered. He walked towards the rest of his crewmates.

"We're going." he told them. They all stood up. They walked towards Arlong park together, Luffy in front

(End of the Flashback)

Alexander gritted his teeth and clenched his fist, unknowingly using armament and making it shiny black. An action that did not go unnoticed by the rest of his crew. As he approached the villagers, who were arguing between themselves, Alexander finally relaxed a bit, feeling Nami following far behind them.

"Move it." Alexander commanded and the people moved aside, clearing a path for them. Alexander and the others moved forward and when they nearly reached, Alexander stopped for a bit.

"Listen guys, " he said quietly. "I need each of you to take any enemy down. Arlong has three lieutenants."

"Raita, you take the fishman with six arms. He's a swordsman, but don't kill him!"

Raita nodded.

"Kane, yours is the guy with weird things on his elbows. You'll now when you see him and take the guy with the big lips."

Kane nodded.

"Alright." Alexander nodded and started walking again. He heard an annoying laughter ahead.

"Armament." he murmured and without stopping, walked straight through the giant gates, leaving a human shaped hole in the gates.The rest of the villagers had their jaws on the ground. After a second, the gates cracked and collapsed.

Arlong and his men blinked several times trying to determine whether what they saw had indeed happened.

Alexander stepped forward with his fist clenched.

"Which one of you is Arlong?" he asked, even though he already knew the answer.

"Arlong?" a tough looking fishman with a saw-shaped nose answered. "That would be my name … "

Raita launched forward and hit Arlong with his fist, sending him flying. The fishman crashed into a stone wall, destroying a part of it.

"DON'T YOU DARE MAKE MY MOTHER CRY!" Raita yelled on top of his lungs.

"Your mother?" Arlong replied mockingly. "And who the hell are you, anyway?"

"I'm your son and Camelia Sharkskin ia my mother." he replied.

"Camelia?" Arlong repeated. A few of the fishmen nearby snorted.

"Like a weakling like you could be his son!" one of them yelled and he along with most other fishmen attempted to attack Raita, but they were kicked away by Alexander, who just arrived on the scene.

"Don't hog all the prey." he told his friend. Then said man sat down on the ground.

"What're you doing?" asked Kane.

"I'm letting you take care of things." Alexander announced. He pointed at Arlong. "After you're done, I'm taking care of Ugly-nose over there."

"WHY YOU … human bastard!" Arlong yelled, gritting his teeth.

"How dare you insult Arlong-sama!" Kuurobi yelled out. Alexander just laughed.

"Sorry, sorry, Archong." Alexander said in a completely insincere tone, mispronouncing the name on purpose. Kuurobi jumped to attack Alexander in anger, but was stopped by Kane's bullet which enters his head. Raita stepped forward to challenge Hachi. Everyone sweat-dropped.

"You know … " Kane begun. "I'm fine with us fighting, but that may be a little too much for the villagers"

Alexander shook his head and waved his hand as if hitting a fly.

"Nah, " he said. "The villagers can take care of themselves."

Raita and Kane blinked. Then Hachi walked away toward the ocean, much to the confusion of Raita.

He played his trumpet-like octopus mouth.

"MOOHMOO!" he called. After a few moments a gigantic sea-cow appeared out of the ocean.

"Mohmoo, take care of them!" he called out. The sea-cow menacingly looked over his targets, until his gaze ended on Alexander, who was seated on the stone ground. It's eyes widened.

"Hey you!" Alexander yelled and waved. "I want you ."
