Arlong vs Rin
"We'll handle her." said the other fishmen.
"No need. I'll tore her apart." Arlong said.
"I'll crush that head of yours." Arlong said before launching an attack.
Rin made a giant wall out of wood. With just one strike from Arlong, destroyed the wall completely, however Rin is nowhere to be found.
"Up here!" Rin screamed before shooting down a rain of bullets towards Arlong.
Arlong defend with only his left arm, even after Rin's attack not a scratch is left on Arlong's body.
'Of course that didn't work...' Rin thought.
"Damn it." Rin turn her arm to a vine and stop her fall by grabbing Arlong's building swinging herself down.
"If you take back your words and beg for your life, I'll give you a painless death." said Arlong before diving into the sea.
"Huh? Did he gave up?!" Nojiko asked.
"Nah, he probably didn't. You better bring Nami to a doctor seeing that she's not waking up." Rin said.
"... Okay.." Nojiko said before carrying Nami away from there.
Suddenly Arlong emerged from the water aiming to stab Rin with his nose.
*thud*
"Huh?" Arlong look at what he hit. It was a wooden puppet. With his strength he break it apart. "You think we're playing dolls?! Fight seriously!!"
"Fight seriously? I am fighting seriously." Rin said. "Look around you."
"?!"
All the other fishmen is missing.
"What the- WHAT DID YOU DO TO THEM?!" Arlong yelled.
"Nothing harmful. I just pulled them into the water and kept them inside a ten layered cage with few hundreds of puppets to accompany them." Rin answered. "They shouldn't come back up for a long while."
"Damn you! Sharks on Darts!" Arlong screamed.
A couple of puppets showed up and took the blow for Rin while she took out a shotgun and shoot Arlong through the puppets.
*Bang!* but not an effect on Arlong.
'Does all guns don't work on him?!' Rin thought as she back away.
She got out some grenades and throw them to Arlong before he could attack.
*BOOM* except for few scratches, Arlong is completely fine.
'Seriously?!' Rin thought.
She unsheathed her katana to block Arlong but Arlong bite it off.
"Ugh! I've had enough!!" Rin screamed. Trees grow right underneath Arlong entangling him.
"What makes you think this will work?!" Arlong asked as he tries to break it but failed. "What-" The trees surrounded Arlong completely.
"Damn you..." Rin muttered. "I wasted more berrys than I thought..." She whispered to herself. "I don't want to fight him cause I need him to be a stepping stone for Luffy.." She mumbled.
'Luffy had a hard time when he fight Arlong before going to the Grand Line. If he doesn't fight Arlong and realized how dangerous the Grand Line is, he'll be more reckless than he already am..' Rin thought.
"What are you doing?"
"Huh?" Rin snap out of her train of thought and sees Tomo standing in front of her. "Where's Akiko?" Rin asked.
"Well... Long story short, she cause trouble and now she feels guilty, so she's sitting quietly in the village." Tomo answered.
"... What troub- nevermind. I'll ask her later." Rin said.
"By the way, Luffy's on his way cause he heard Nami got injured by Arlong." Tomo said.
"... How long will it takes for him to get here?" Rin asked.
"Few minutes." Tomo answered.
"I'll leave Arlong to him, then." Rin said.
"Shouldn't you get him out of there first?" Tomo asked while pointing towards Arlong.
"He'll break out in a couple of minutes." Rin answered as she leaves.
Tomo followed Rin. They made sure not to ran into Luffy and just watches from afar.
The fight between Luffy and Arlong ended faster since Luffy didn't got thrown into the sea and the other fishmen that swam up got beaten by Sanji and Zoro. After Luffy defeated Arlong, Rin went to see the situation at Arlong Park. Everyone is cheering for Luffy's victory.
'The building isn't completely ruin and that Marine rat is nowhere to be found...' Rin thought.
The villagers decide to throw a celebration for Arlong's defeat.

Everyone partied, dance, feast, basically they're all having fun.
"So, Akiko. What did you do?" Rin asked.
"..."
"I heard from Tomo you caused some trouble." Rin said.
"I... Kinda.. sunk your ship.." Akiko said.
"What- How?!" Rin asked.
"Well..." Akiko said.
Tomo intervene and said "She picked a fight with a fishman and that fishman broke your ship. All of the ship's pieces has sunk to the ocean floor."
"Why in the world would you be picking a fight with a FISHMAN?!" Rin asked.
"He was beating up kids for no reason." Akiko answered.
Rin sighed and said "Fine..." She instantly forgive Akiko.
"You forgive her too easily.." Tomo said.
"That's that. I can't un-break something's broken." Rin said. "Go and get yourself something to eat. Don't worry about the ship." Rin said to Akiko.
"Okay.." Akiko answered as she went to grab some food.
"What about the ship?" Tomo asked.
"I guess it's okay since we don't really need it after this." Rin answered.
"If you say so." Tomo said.

"Hey, Luffy! You're going to the Grand Line, right?" Rin asked.
Luffy nodded happily.
"You see, I kinda need to go there too. You mind if I come along?" Rin asked.
"You wanna go to the Grand Line too?!" Luffy asked with excitement.
"Yeah, if you don't mind giving me a ride." Rin answered.
"YAY!!" Luffy yelled.

"I've already asked Luffy for a ride so that's one thing solved... Akiko, are you sure you're not gonna come with us?" Rin asked.
"I don't like going on a long adventure it's tiring and in this case it's definitely life-threatening. I prefer a peaceful life." Akiko answered.
"... Alright. I'll prepare a puppet eagle to send you to Windmill Village. Don't mention anything about me cause a Marine Vice-Admiral will visit that place from time to time. Since you look like an average japanese with black hair and black eyes, I'm sure you won't attract too much attention towards yourself." Rin said.
'Hopefully she'll be fine... I would prefer it if she would follow me but I shouldn't force her to risk her life..' Rin thought.
"Won't the villagers find it weird that I came on a puppet eagle?" Akiko asked.
"The puppet will turn into a boat once you got close enough to the island." Rin explained.
"Alright." Akiko said.

(A/N: Writing fight scene is soo hard... Anyway, Akiko won't be following Rin cause she isn't interested in going on an adventure (They got into a fight cause Rin kept forcing Akiko to follow her, in the end, Rin gave up and allow Akiko to live a peaceful life). Also, I'm gonna make Rin join Luffy for now.)
