Chapter 8:Arlong Pirates!

Nami and Nojiko were leading the Kitsune pirates towards Arlong park.Nojiko looked at the trio,still with a little doubt,as she asked."I-i am sorry for still doubting you,but why would you help us?"Nami also looked at them for answers,so Makino took the initiative to explain them."Captain Yami had discovered information about Cocoyashi village.And after further investigating the matter,he found out about the things Arlong was doing to your village, and using Nami to make maps and collect money by giving her false hope,so she could save money and he will take it away,to break her.So captain decided to save you and Nojiko, along with the village from Arlong."She said the things Yami had deliberately said to both her and Zoro,so that the recruitment of both the sisters afterwards will be easy.

Both the sisters looked at Yami with hopeful eyes,they still had doubts about this group, but after seeing Yami destroy the ship,they were willing to give them a chance.Nojiko, especially wanted Yami's help after hearing about Arlong's plan to betray and break Nami,while Nami was getting angry with rage at Arlong for using her.Before she could cry and rant about Arlong like she did in the anime,Yami patted her shoulder while shaking his head and pointing at the gate of Arlong park.

The group had arrived at the gates of Arlong park,which was guarded by 2 fishmen who sneered at the group."Nami, what's the meaning of this!.Why did you bring these humans here,you should know wh-"As the guard was shouting at Nami,Yami pulled out his blades,and hit them with the blunt sides, knocking them out.

"Zoro,Makino,your task is to fight these fishmen when we go inside.I will take care of Arlong."Yami said,as Zoro and Makino nodded while Nami and Nojiko looked at the downed Pirates with contempt.Yami's fist started to glow with haki,as he smashed the gates open.As the group entered,they saw Many fishmen rushing towards them.As Nami and Nojiko took a step back in fear,Zoro and Makino took action.

Zoro rushed towards the incoming fishmen with his three swords,one held in his mouth.He started taking them down easily.A fishmen tried to sneak attack him,but found himself flying in the air, courtesy of Makino,in her Crane Hybrid form.She sent him spiralling down hard on the ground, before she flapped her wings,as her feathers were shot from her wings and striked the fishmen like bullets.

As Zoro and Makino were making quick work of the cannon fodder,while Nami and Nojiko had an excited expression,Yami used his Haki and looked at one of the roofs where he saw a fishmen,who he knew was Arlong's sniper, aiming at Makino.He took out Sandai Kitetsu and slashed at his direction,as Moon blades were thrown towards the sniper,who couldn't dodge in time and was cut in many places, getting heavily injured,as he fell unconscious.

Yami then focused at the group that emerged from the Tower.It was Arlong, along with Hatchan,Kuroobi and Chew.Arlong looked at Nami and Nojiko with killing intent as they took a step back in fear,but then Yami patted both their heads as he ressured them."Don't worry,as long as I am alive,no one can hurt you."As Nami and Nojiko looked at Yami with pink cheeks due to the close proximity and the head pat,he took the sheats of both his swords and gave them to Nami and Nojiko."Hold them for me,I will finish this bastard and bring him on his knees for you.That is my promise,and my promise is my law."He said as Zoro and Makino were done with the cannon fodders.They arrived beside Yami as the trio looked at the Fishmen officers and Arlong.

"Well,Nami,you really have angered me.I had promised you to return your village,but now,you will watch how I kill all the villagers, starting with these friends of yours and Your sister!"Arlong roared as Nami visibly flinched,but then Yami sent a Moon Slash on the ground and a line appeared."Nami,Nojiko, don't worry.We will make sure to defeat these bastards before they even cross this line."Yami stated as he looked angrily at Arlong.

"And just who might you be"Hatchan asked,as Yami smirked at them."Yami Fujiwara, Captain of Kitsune pirates."He said as he motions for Makino to take care of Kuroobi,while Zoro to take care of Hatchan.As they nodded and rushed/flew towards their respective opponent, Yami put his swords at his sides as he dashed at Chew.

-------------------CHEW. VS .YAMI------------------

As Yami was approaching Chew,Chew spat a torrent of water towards Yami,who blocked the torrent with Moon slashes."Water Shots!"Chew shouted as he unloaded a volley of Water bullets from his mouth towards Yami,Yami slashed and dodged them using Observation haki as he was getting closer to Chew."Taiyo Bāsuto"(Solar burst!)Yami shouted as he slashed at Chew who spat a giant Waterball towards him.The first Slash detonated on contacting with the water ball, evaporating it,while the second Slash from Kitetsu landed on Chew,Who shouted in pain as he was launched backwards from the explosion,with 2nd degree burns on his chest.

"D-damn you human!"Chew shouted as he again launched a torrent of water towards Yami, however this time he actually jumped in the torrent and was launched at Yami at high speeds.Yami dodged the attack and jumped at his back as he slashed at his back with solar energy, causing Chew to howl in pain, before he was knocked uncounciois by the blunt end of Yubashiri.

-----------------------CHEW .VS. YAMI,

WINNER:YAMI FUJIWARA.-----------------------

Nami and Nojiko cheered as Yami won,while Yami smiled at them,then Yami's and the girls attention turned towards Zoro and Makino's fights.

--------------HATCHAN.VS.ZORO-----------------

Zoro clashed with Hatchan as his three swords paried Hatchan's six.He then dodged the incoming ink sprayerd by Hatchan towards his head,before he slashed at two of the other swords that aimed at his chest.He applied a strong force to push Hatchan a little,before he took some steps back and took an attack position with one sword at his side and his second sword was held in front of him.He tightly held wado Ichimongi in his mouth as he executed one of the moves he was learning with Yami.

"Santoryu-Ikari do Kaminari!"(Three swords style:Wrath of the thunder God.)Zoro's Swords were wrapped in lightning as he moved at a fast speed towards Hatchan who couldn't keep up with Zoro's speed,as three of his arms were cut,with electricity rushing through him,as he passed out,while Zoro appeared behind him bathed in a lightning aura for a second before the aura disappeared.

----------------------HATCHAN.VS.ZORO,

WINNER:RORONOA ZORO----------------------

----------------KUROOBI.VS.MAKINO------------

Makino flew in the air while dodging the water blasts that Kurrobi threw at her.She then sweeped at him with the sword given by Yami held in her talons.Kurrobi dodged her attack,but the wind generated by her slash pushed him,as he became unbalanced,which Makino took advantage of as she threw a volley of her sharp feathers at him,he dodged,but his left arm was struck by them, going limp likely due to luckily hitting a pressure point,which Yami was telling her about to practice to hit for with her feathers.

Kurrobi quickly jumped at Makino,who tried to dodge but was caught by her wings,as Kurrobi was about to break her wing,He was hit by a powerful wind attack, knocking him away.Makino flew even higher,as she tightly held her sword in her talons.She looked at Kurrobi who was getting up,and decided to finish it.She transformed into her full crane form.

"Tatsumaki Doriru!"(Tornado drill)She shouted as she started spinning in circles towards Kurrobi as her sword started to emit winds.Soon a tornado was covering Makino,as she was heading towards Kurrobi at fast a speed.Kurrobi looked up and was about to dodge,but it was too late.He was hit by the attack and was sent flying, hitting a wall and going uncounciois.

----------------------------KUROOBI.VS.MAKINO

WINNER:MAKINO-----------------------------------

Yami smiled at Zoro and Makino who were making their way towards him, before he looked at Arlong coldly as Arlong was seeting with rage."It's over Arlong,now only you are left."Yami said as he dashed towards Arlong,who took out his sword and clashed with Yami.
