Third Person POV
Cocoyasi Island, East Blue.
...
...
Cocoyasi Village, East Blue.
"So you're Nami's sister! She never told me she had such a beautiful sister!" Luffy said cheerfully, like a bandit finding something quite attractive.
While the Navy had its ship anchored on Cocoyasi Beach, Captain Nezumi led a secret operation to steal the treasure accumulated by Nami over the years.
As the Marines kept the local population under control, Nezumi, accompanied by his subordinates, began to search Nami's house and its surroundings for gold. The streets were filled with sailors searching houses, confiscating goods, and instilling widespread fear in the community.
However, in the midst of this dishonest operation, the situation escalated when Nojiko, Nami's sister, vehemently protested against the injustice that was happening. Captain Nezumi, irritated by the interference, ordered them to shoot her as a form of punishment.
It was in this moment of chaos that Luffy, the fearless Captain of the Straw Hats, appeared out of nowhere, dodging the bullet aimed at Nojiko. His unexpected arrival brought an element of surprise to the scene, interrupting the operation planned by Nezumi.
While the sailors tried to process Luffy's presence, Nezumi saw his gold-stealing operation being threatened. The Straw Hat Pirates' Captain, with his relaxed expression and defiant attitude, was about to change the course of events, triggering an imminent confrontation between the pirates and the Navy on the peaceful Cocoyasi Island.
"..."
"..."
"..."
"..."
"..."
An intriguing silence permeated the environment, leaving everyone bewildered by the unexpected arrival. The unknown man, seemingly unharmed after being shot, was now engaged in a conversation with Nojiko, openly flirting as if the previous event were insignificant.
"Who are you?!" Captain Nezumi inquired, being the first to break the silence, expressing surprise at the man's appearance.
"Hm?! Can't you see I'm talking to this lady here? Don't bother me." Luffy responded with a displeased look, redirecting his attention back to Nojiko. Luffy's nonchalant response provoked Captain Nezumi's anger, who exploded in indignation at the absurdity of the situation.
Captain Nezumi, with his face contorted by surprise and anger, shouted at Luffy, "Tell me who you are and why you're interfering with the Navy's work! Men, get ready to shoot him!" Instantly, all available Marines aimed their guns at Luffy. Others, who were busy digging in the orange groves, abandoned their tools to grab their rifles stored nearby, preparing for the possible imminent conflict.
Luffy, in response, maintained his bold and relaxed smile, as if he were just engaging in casual conversation. Ignoring the evident pressure of the moment, he spoke, "Haha, I see you won't let me spend some time with this lovely woman, huh? So, let me introduce myself! I'm Monkey D. Luffy, the man who will rule the seas, the one who doesn't care about the Navy, the World Government, celestial pigs, and those old guys known as the Five Elders and Yonkous!"
The echo of Luffy's words hung in the tense air as the imminent confrontation unfolded on Cocoyasi Island. The silence was broken only by the distant sound of waves breaking on the beach, providing an irregular soundtrack for the scene unfolding between the fearless pirate and the determined Navy.
"..."
"..."
"..."
"..."
"..."
"..."
"..."
"..."
"Captain Nezumi, did I hear correctly?"
"He really said that?"
"He didn't call the Celestial Dragons 'heavenly pigs,' did he?"
"Where did this madman come from?"
"I don't know what's more bizarre, his first statement or the second..."
The sailors began to murmur among themselves, astonished and perplexed, exchanging uncertain glances as they tried to process Luffy's bold words. Nezumi, Genzo, and Nojiko were also stunned, unable to hide the surprise stamped on their faces.
"Captain Nezumi, do you think we should shoot him?" asked one Marine, looking confused.
"Heavenly pigs, seriously?" muttered another sailor, shaking his head in disbelief.
Luffy, on the other hand, remained unchanged, observing everyone's reaction with a relaxed and confident expression, as if he were enjoying the confusion he had caused.
"You're a madman, eliminate him now!" Nezumi shouted, and everyone was ready to pull the trigger.
"Wait!" Luffy shouted and let go of Nojiko, who was still speechless with all these sudden events. Everyone stopped stunned for a moment, not expecting this man to shout at them as if he were their commander.
Nezumi was stunned before, but this reached an even higher peak, seeing that his men seemed to obey this stranger.
"What do you think you're doing?!" Nezumi exclaimed, irritated.
"Relax, Captain Rat, I'm just making sure this lady doesn't get hurt. We don't want trouble with a citizen getting hurt, right?" Luffy replied, maintaining a relaxed smile.
The sailors exchanged confused looks among themselves, while Nezumi tried to process the situation, his eyebrows furrowed with disbelief at Luffy's audacity.
Luffy walked forward and crossed his arms in front of the group facing him.
"What are you..."
"I'm not your opponent; you should look up!" Luffy announced, cutting off Nezumi's command at the last moment.
"What are you saying, do you think we'll fall for that, pirate?! Let's kill him!" said one of the sailors, returning to normalcy.
However, something incredible happened among them at that moment.
*BOOM!*
Before Nezumi could react or shoot at Luffy, a colossal rock plummeted from the sky, mercilessly crushing at least half a dozen sailors.
"!"
"WHAT HAPPENED?!"
"What is this?!"
"They were crushed, LIKE THIS?"
"What the hell was that!"
"Look to the sky!"
"An angel!"
"Did I die?"
"She's so beautiful!"
"It looks like she's lifting rocks with those strange claws!"
"She's like those tales where a winged cupid throws love stones!"
"What are you saying, they're arrows in those tales, not stones..."
"And these stones are too big!"
"They're increasing in size, they're not stones but giant rocks!"
"Ahhh, run!"
*BOOM!*
"She's trying to kill us!"
"I don't want to die twice!"
"Who said you're already dead? She's here to kill you once! RUN!"
*BOOM!*
*BOOM!*
*BOOM!*
The explosions continued, mercilessly crushing all the marines in the open area, while Nami hurled rocks with her Garuda claws, removing them from the island's coast as she flew. The surreal and chaotic scene transformed into destruction and death, with the apparent "avenging angel" leaving everyone bewildered, trying to make sense of the absurd situation.
"I'm so furious that I'll finish you all! First, you destroy my orange trees, then try to steal my treasure, and now Luffy flirts with my sister while I have to film him doing that?! I need to vent all my anger!" Nami shouted in the air, relentlessly throwing stones at the marines.
"Damn you, LUFFY!" She yelled, flapping her wings to descend towards the ground.
*Boom!*
"Nami? Hahaha. I thought you'd never come down from the sky; you scared all those marines. You should... Hm?!"
*Boom!*
Luffy barely had time to react when he took a punch from Nami, who emerged from the wreckage where she had landed. The impact echoed like thunder, leaving everyone stunned by the navigator's furious expression.
*CRACK!*
Luffy flew at high speed towards a nearby rock, which exploded into pieces with the devastating impact.
"..."
"..."
Nojiko and Genzo watched the scene in shock, as if witnessing a surreal nightmare.
"This is for making me see my sister almost dying and flirting with her right after, while I had to film all of this!" Nami shouted angrily, releasing her emotions into the air with intensity.
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! No need to get so mad." Luffy started laughing, emerging from the wreckage as if he hadn't felt the slightest impact. The area around was marked by destruction, rocks, and dust suspended in the air, evidencing the strength of the collision.
"Nami..." Nojiko finally snapped out of her stunned state. As she observed her sister, she noticed that she looked a bit different. The mischievous appearance was still there, but now Nami had enormous wings. Nojiko witnessed her sister ruthlessly defeat at least two dozen marines, tossing a man like a doll against the rocks. The man emerged from the wreckage as if the punch that threw him hadn't caused the slightest damage.
"Nami, how did you acquire these powers, and where did you find this... creature?" Genzo commented, still processing the surreal situation.
"Monster!" Nami, about to respond to her brother, was interrupted by the sound of the remaining marines. To escape the flying rocks, they took cover in the house and hid under the orange trees. Nami couldn't simply attack these places, and the situation became even more bizarre.
"They seem to be afraid of you..." Luffy commented playfully to the cat-thief.
"Quiet, I'll have a little chat with you shortly." Nami said to Luffy and turned to the rest of the naval men.
She raised her hands, and claws began to materialize in the air and flew directly for the necks of 8 hidden marines, both inside the house and under the orange trees.
Quickly, 8 bodies were lifted into the air by their necks in front of the woman with the commands of her hand. They struggled in fear, realizing their necks were being squeezed without being able to react, and they were almost losing consciousness.
"So, you wanted to steal from me, huh?" Nami growled at the group.
"I...please...don't...kill me..." Some of them pleaded.
"It was...Arlong...I can compensate you...if you spare me..." Nezumi said, as one of the survivors of those enormous rocks, he begged for his life, offering everything he could to get out of here in one piece, cursing Arlong for making him try to steal from a monster like this woman.
"You want me to let you go...? After all the evil you've done?" Nami mocked.
"Wait, Nami!" Nojiko quickly grabbed her sister's shoulder with pleading eyes.
"Nami, don't do this. I know they deserve it, but killing them in cold blood is beneath who you are!" Nojiko didn't want Nami to become a cold-blooded killer in this way.
Nami looked at her sister a bit disturbed; she didn't want Nojiko to be afraid of her.
"I guess you're right..." Nami admitted, earning a relieved look from the 8 bodies suspended in the air.
"If it were me, I wouldn't be too happy about this; my captain will decide your fate when you wake up!" Nami said, and with a hand movement, she threw them all to the ground, colliding forcefully and knocking them out the next moment.
Nojiko sighed in relief and looked at Nami.
"I guess we have a lot to talk about, huh?" She said and quickly went into the house with a trio following shortly after.
Meanwhile, on the beach.
The thunderous sound of cannon explosions echoed through the air as the Black Pearl unleashed a fierce bombardment against the Marine ship anchored on the beach. Each explosion was like a resounding roar, shaking the surrounding environment. The deep rumble was accompanied by the sharp whistle of projectiles cutting through the air before hitting their target.
The sky was tinted with dark smoke, and the impact of the explosions was visible, creating splashes of water and marine debris that soared into the air. The continuous sound of cannons firing created a chaotic symphony, filling the ears with a cacophony of deafening noises.
With each explosion, the Marine ship trembled, creaking and squealing under the relentless attack. The cannons of the Black Pearl fired in an impressive cadence, creating an atmosphere of chaos and destruction. The metallic sound of bullets hitting the hull of the target ship mixed with the roar of explosions, forming a concert of destruction that echoed across the beach and beyond.
A moment later, four people were sitting at the kitchen table.
"Hahahaha. They seem to be having fun at the beach, huh?" Luffy laughed, hearing the sound of cannons.
"What are you guys doing..." Ganzo asked alarmed, also hearing the explosions but not knowing what was happening.
"We're blowing up Captain Nezumi's Marine ship." Nami answered simply.
"Nami, where did you find these people..." Nojiko asked, bewildered by so many events.
"Hmm, by the way, this drink is delicious. Would you like to join my crew by any chance?" Luffy ignored her comment and looked at Nojiko, extending the invitation with a smile to the blue-haired woman.
"DON'T ASK MY SISTER SOMETHING LIKE THAT OUT OF NOWHERE!" Nami yelled at Luffy.
"Hahahhahaha. Nami, where did you really find him? Is he your boyfriend or something?" Nojiko, overcoming so many surprises, laughed when she heard their interaction.
"I'm the captain and her husband." Luffy casually responded.
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN, HUSBAND?" Nami had a comical expression on her face.
"Husband? Who do you think you are to be her husband, brat?" The mayor shouted at Luffy indignantly.
"Is this some kind of union? Like, we haven't gotten married yet, but it's not like that won't change in the future..." Luffy said calmly.
"Hahahahahahaha! Nami, this is the first man you bring home, and he's so outrageous!" Nojiko was having fun after so much tension and death just a moment ago.
"He's not my husband. If he wants to marry me, I want 10 billion berries!" Nami shouted, demanding it quickly.
"So, this is how you repay my love and sacrifice for you, Nami? In the end, you just wanted my money?" Luffy seemed to lament.
"STOP PRETENDING!" Nami released her power, but Luffy didn't move, but Genzo beside her was thrown backward, falling unconscious the next moment.
"..."
"..."
"Nami, how could you do this to him!" Nojiko was indignant with Nami's treatment of her husband, completely ignoring Genzo.
"..." Nami was speechless before her sister, believing in her captain's silver tongue so easily.
Luffy, with a fake hurt expression, crossed his arms and sighed dramatically as he responded to Nojiko's indignation:
"Look, Nojiko, I thought she would reciprocate her love for me. I'm always acting like a knight, a true romantic, but it seems like that's a thing of the past. Women nowadays don't seem to like that kind of thing much; maybe I should move on and hope someone will love me someday... you know, a broken heart, a lonely soul..."
Luffy looked at the horizon with a theatrical and sad expression, as if he were starring in a tragic love story. Meanwhile, Nojiko beside him began to look at him with a mixture of compassion and curiosity, captivated by the melodramatic performance of the captain of the Straw Hat Pirates.
"..." Nami was stunned by this.
"Ahhh. Poor thing!" Nojiko, next to Luffy, stood up from the chair and approached him with a pitying expression, ready to console him in the fictitious sadness he portrayed.
Nami, on the other hand, was stunned by Luffy's theatrical ability. Nojiko, embracing Luffy, seemed to offer genuine comfort, but the captain, with an unexpected move, lifted Nojiko in his arms, adding an even more unusual touch to the scene.
"AHHHH!!!" Nojiko gave a surprised scream when she felt her body being placed over Luffy's. Luffy's unexpected boldness caught her off guard as she nestled into his lap.
"Thank you, Nojiko. I didn't know Nami had such a good sister!" Luffy expressed his gratitude while holding Nojiko intimately above him.
Nojiko, still surprised, murmured, "You're so bold, Luffy. No wonder Nami seems to like you..."
"..."
"Only her?" Luffy smiled with his characteristic seductive grin, gazing at Nojiko in a captivating manner.
Nojiko, in turn, was torn between perplexity and a slight blush on her cheeks. Luffy's theatrical ability surprised her, and his seductive look made the situation even more unusual.
"..."
"I don't know... My sister might not like sharing her boyfriend..." She said, showing a flirtatious smile.
"..."
"But as you can see, it seems like she doesn't want me, however..." Luffy leaned closer to Nojiko's face.
"..."
"It gets really complicated for me; on one side, I have my sister's happiness, on the other, I have the man who saved my life like a prince charming, and now he's inviting me to be his princess? It's hard to decide like this..."
Nojiko, with her usual bold expression, now exhibited an intriguing mix of fascination and uncertainty. Her usually fearless eyes betrayed a glint of enchantment in the face of Luffy's casual seduction. As his words filled the space between them, she seemed captivated by the peculiar aura of the Straw Hat Pirates' captain.
"You..."
Luffy and Nojiko looked at Nami at this moment, as Nami seemed to have stayed quiet the whole time.
She looked at this shameless man and woman while her sister was still on the lap of her womanizing captain, seemingly enjoying that contact, openly flirting as if it were a room, while they pretended she wasn't there the whole time.
"STOP FLIRTING WITH EACH OTHER!" Nami's furious shout echoed through the house, and she conjured a new claw in the air, unleashing a destructive attack that shattered the table.
Luffy, as quick as ever, grabbing Nojiko by his side, jumped up, skillfully avoiding the impact of Nami's strike. Outside, debris from the explosion flew out of the house.
Meanwhile, the Straw Hat group appeared, led by Yamato, who followed them with his Haki.
"They seem to have finished here..." Kuina muttered, visibly stunned. Several bodies were scattered, crushed by stones outside the house, while more than half a dozen still breathed, although unconscious.
"LUFFY!" The worried cry echoed through the air as the group approached the tumultuous scene.
*BOOM!*
"HAHAHAHAHAHA!"
"STAY STILL! AND LET GO OF MY SISTER!"
*BOOM!*
"HAHAHAHA, THAT WAS CLOSE, NAMI!"
"I'M GOING TO KILL YOU!"
*BOOM!*
*BOOM!*
*BOOM!*
*BOOM!*
The sound of explosions echoed through the area as the clash between Nami and Luffy unfolded. Luffy laughed joyfully, seeming to enjoy the situation, while Nami, visibly furious, continued to launch her claws forcefully. The group outside could hear the screams and explosions, becoming intrigued by the intensity of the fight and wondering if the enraged Nami was the same person they knew.
"What's happening in there?" Usopp asked, a little frightened by the noise and explosions.
"Nami-Sama looks so scary!" Shirahoshi cried, watching the explosions with wide eyes.
"We better see what's going on; there might be an enemy!" Zoro agreed, taking the first steps toward the house.
"WHERE ARE YOU GOING? HOW CAN YOU WANT TO GO HOME IN FRONT OF US, WHEN YOU WALK BACK THE WAY YOU CAME FROM THE BEACH!" Kuina shouted indignantly at Zoro, who might even mistake the way to the house right in front of him.
"I just made a little mistake!" Zoro complained, as the group exchanged curious and concerned looks among themselves. Suspense hung in the air as everyone wondered what could be happening inside the house.
"..."
"..."
"..."
"Let's go in." Yamato said, taking the first steps.
"Zoro! Just follow us!" Usopp warned.
"Alright, alright!" The swordsman grumbled.

Third Person POV
Cocoyasi Island, East Blue.
...
...
Nami calmed down after a while, and the group was now gathered. The interior of the first floor of the house was destroyed, courtesy of the explosions and Nami's rage.
"So you're Nami's sister, Nojiko-Sama, you're so beautiful!" Shirahoshi looked at Nojiko with admiration; she couldn't help but wish for an older sister after hearing Nami's story, even though it was mostly sad. She always had her sister to help her move forward.
"Yes, and I can't believe I'm seeing a mermaid! I remember Bell-mère talking about them when we were kids; I never imagined seeing one here. You're so beautiful and innocent!" Nojiko seemed quite open with Shirahoshi, who smiled at the blue-haired woman as she heard her.
"Your sister is so mature, Nami..." Kuina couldn't help but comment. Since Shirahoshi is of the same race as those who destroyed the sisters' lives many years ago, but she didn't seem to have any prejudice against the mermaid princess.
"Yes, Nojiko is a very mature woman, but your sister is quite temperamental..." Reiju said, looking around; the whole place was devastated where there should have been a living room and kitchen.
"Zoro, never let me irritate Nami, leave that just for Luffy, understood..." Usopp murmured next to the swordsman, afraid of facing that same fury one day.
"Tsk." Zoro snorted.
"Did Sister Nami do all this? She's so scary..." The pirate hunters, Jhonny and Yosaku, spoke with a bit of fear like Usopp.
"Ow!"
"Sharky!"
"You don't need to be afraid of Nami-Sama! She's so nice." Shirahoshi defended Nami from the frightened animals.
"Luffy, what did you do here?!" Yamato complained.
"I didn't do anything! Just avoided the attacks." Luffy said calmly.
This part of the house was completely destroyed. Broken furniture and cracked walls witnessed the havoc caused by Nami, who was trying to hit Luffy while he skillfully dodged with his sister, Nojiko, in his arms. Debris scattered on the floor, creating a chaotic scene that reflected the intensity of the confrontation between the navigator and the Straw Hat Pirates' captain.
"Anyway, I can't believe marines could be so rotten!" Kuina complained.
"Have you already forgotten what they did at base 16 when we destroyed and looted the place?" Reiju asked calmly.
"What? What did you do at naval base 16?" Nojiko asked a bit indignant.
"Nothing much, we just destroyed half the base with our ship cannons. I wanted to wipe it off the map, but that would have led to unnecessary slaughter..." Luffy commented a little dissatisfied with having to let go of the idea of blowing up a marine base.
"Is this true, Nami?" Her sister asked seriously.
"Yes, I no longer belong to Arlong; I am a member of this crew, a member of the Straw Hat Pirates! We attacked the marines and stole everything we could." She said confidently, earning many satisfied smiles from her comrades.
"So, this is your pirate crew... Well, you can see they are quite unique!" Nojiko couldn't help but be amazed, looking at the humans with each unique personality, a dog, a flying shark, and a beautiful mermaid all together.
"You can join too if you want, you know. We need someone to take care of your sister." Luffy smiled and teased Nami.
Nojiko, still processing the idea, responded cautiously, "That's a sudden invitation, Luffy. I'm not sure if I can just join a pirate crew."
Luffy laughed and retorted, "Think of it as an offer of exciting adventures and freedom on the seas. Besides, it would be great to have someone like you with us. Give it some thought, Nojiko."
"About that, I must think..." She said with a small smile, dodging the question but playing along.
"You..." Nami huffed.
"Anyway, let's get rid of Arlong. I want to do it before tonight because I want to have another feast!" Luffy shared his thoughts, and Nojiko looked at him as if a second head had grown on his shoulder.
"But a feast?" Yamato asked.
"Of course, we're pirates; feasts are part of a pirate's daily life!" Luffy smiled as he spoke.
"Wait a moment! Do you want to get rid of Arlong?!" Nojiko looked astonished at the tall man.
"I don't; your sister is going to do that. I'll just make sure she does it right." Luffy declared, crossing his arms.
"Nami? You're not thinking...?" Nojiko was interrupted by her sister before she could continue.
"Don't worry, Nojiko, I'll win. Haven't you seen my strength?" Nami said with some confidence.
"I have, but Arlong..." Nojiko tried to argue but was interrupted by Yamato.
"Oh, two fish-men outside, looking at the fallen bodies." Yamato said, making Luffy turn in that direction.
"Do you want to deal with that, Nami?" He asked, and she nodded seriously.
Nami wasted no more time and started walking among the broken furniture that she herself left that way and went out the door. There, two fish-men were trying to wake up the fallen marines.
While the Straw Hat group tried to understand the chaotic situation after the explosions and looked for Hachi, they observed from afar another group of villagers who kept their distance due to the massacre happening. The fight caught the attention of the whole village, but no one dared to approach.
Nami approached the other group, casually stating their names after a certain distance. "So it's you, Take and Shioyaki," she said, capturing their attention. The villagers turned to Nami, leaving a unconscious Nezumi aside.
"Nami?! You arrived on the island! What the hell happened here? Who killed them?!" one of the villagers quickly demanded.
"It was me," Nami replied coldly, interrupting her walk to face them.
"Hm? You? Stop kidding, Nami. You better spill it; when Arlong finds out, it won't be good for you..." Shioyaki said angrily.
"I'd love to see that happen, then," Nami retorted. She raised her hands and sliced the air in front of her. A gust of wind hit them next, catching them off guard and throwing them against some fallen rocks in the area. The shocked expressions on their faces reflected the disbelief in the face of the ability they never expected to witness.
*Ah!*
"That? Nami is a Devil Fruit user!" they exclaimed upon the collision, getting up with astonishment and a touch of fear in their eyes.
Before they could articulate anything more, it was too late. In the next strike, they were knocked out as Nami threw them again, ensuring their defeat.
"Yes, I am a Devil Fruit user, and I intend to destroy you with this power!" Nami murmured, staring at the two Tritons lying on the ground. The determination in her eyes left no doubt that she was determined to use her abilities to face any threat.
"Should we go now, Luffy?" She turned and found the crew looking at her with admiration, especially her stunned sister, who saw Nami defeat two members of Arlong with just a wave of her hands.
"Let's first get rid of the Marines. Let's throw them to the ex-captives on the beach so they can mete out their own justice. Also, I want to check on the Black Pearl and bring it to the ship so it won't be stolen. We might have helped the people trapped in the Marine base, but that doesn't mean they can't try to steal from us at the first opportunity," Luffy said, and they quickly grabbed the eight Marines and headed to the beach where they landed.
The villagers who witnessed Nami taking down the Tritons ran to the village to spread the news.
Some time later, the crew saw that Luffy was right. After the crew left the pirate ship, many ex-captives staged a mutiny and tried to steal the Black Pearl to leave the island. Surprisingly, Hugo prevented this from happening, standing in the way of anyone who tried to do something and taking down many of them.
Luffy appeared and went to talk to the big man first.
"Hugo, this is a surprise! Thanks for defending our ship!" Luffy couldn't help but express his gratitude.
"This is the least I can do. I'm not the type to take advantage of my saviors!" he said.
"Even so, you have my thanks."
Luffy said to Hugo and turned to the people he had helped once. With a cold gaze, he spoke as the crowd began to step back, especially those who organized and suggested the mutiny.
"We helped you, even though it wasn't our real intention. I expected at least some respect, but you tried to take our things at the first opportunity you had." Luffy looked with a stern eye at everyone, not everyone, especially the women, as more male slaves were involved in this mutiny.
His crew was at a distance from him, observing this scene, also not liking to hear this and seeing the situation of people they had liberated.
"I don't intend to be a kind person next time. If this happens again, I intend to act as we did with the Marines," Luffy said angrily. Another type of person that Luffy doesn't like is those who bite the hand that fed them at some point. It may not be the type he hates the most, but he also has no love for this kind.
Luffy not only expressed it in words, but purple flames appeared on his body and exploded with fury circulating around him without burning his clothes.
*Flames*
The sound of flames was violent and heard throughout that part of the beach, causing the crowd to retreat in fear and with the increasing heat.
"So you better think very well before attacking us next time because just as you have the freedom to try to steal from us, there are consequences, and we have the freedom to retaliate, and I guarantee it's better not to make me choose that option." Luffy said amidst the flames like a demon from the abyss.
"I'M SORRY! WE WON'T DO IT AGAIN, SIR, PLEASE FORGIVE US!" An old man, one of those who joined the mutiny, begged for mercy immediately. They didn't witness the fight against the Marines when they were liberated, so they thought it was a normal group that had a ship to end the Marine base. That's why they wanted the Black Pearl and its treasures to live better. But now, seeing the capabilities of this man, they realized they messed with someone very dangerous.
"Don't worry, I don't need your words to protect my ship now. I'll take the Black Pearl with me." Luffy said and looked at his crew, accompanied by Nojiko as well.
"Nami will fight against Arlong, Zoro, you can take Hachi on our ship, Jhonny and Yosaku bring the other unconscious fish-men too. I want Shirahoshi to judge them once Nami finishes them off." Luffy said, surprising everyone, especially the mermaid herself.
"Me? Luffy-Sama, shouldn't Nami seek revenge?" She asked uncertainly.
"They are her people. Nami has the right to revenge, but if she doesn't want to kill them, which I think she might not, you will have the final decision from there." Luffy said, and Nami nodded, trusting the mermaid.
As soon as Zoro took Hachi off their black ship, Luffy touched the Black Pearl to shrink its size to the point where he could hold the miniature ship in his hand now.
"Let's go to Arlong Park. It's time to end this." Luffy announced, and everyone nodded, following him as he left.
"And you, Hugo, thank you for your help once again. If you're still interested in my earlier proposal, look for me until tonight's party because we'll be leaving early in the morning." Luffy announced and received a nod from Hugo with that and some questioning looks from his crew, unaware of the proposal Luffy made to Hugo.
"One more thing, if you cause any more trouble, especially with the village of this island, it won't be me who takes care of you; it will be Nami, a resident here. Trust me, I saw her kill two dozen Marines before coming here... She can be worse than me." Luffy said and turned to leave.
"Nami, throw the Marines into the crowd and let them decide what to do with them." Luffy announced, and Nami did exactly that with her claws.
"That's brutal..." Nojiko couldn't help but comment.
"Well, they were enslaved by those uniformed people; let them have the chance to get revenge. It's better than just killing them," Luffy shrugged.
So they set off, the Marines were awakened by an angry crowd surrounding them on the beach. After that, the whole group went to Arlong Park, passing through Nami's village.
The citizens who had already heard about the events after those strange noises coming from Nami's hill noticed a large group carrying some unconscious fish-men on their shoulders, alarming them. They asked what was happening here.
"Is it true?! Nami came back and took down Arlong's people?" Someone shouted, and soon everyone was looking at the group passing through the middle of the village, moving forward without caring about the questioning and stunned looks.
"Nojiko! What's happening? They said there was a conflict at your house with the Marines!" Someone shouted.
"Nami? You're back? Who are these people? Why did they harm Arlong's men?"
Nami, hearing this, looked at the citizen who asked directly to her and said confidently, "We are the Straw Hat Pirates, and we are going to end Arlong's reign and his crew!" Nami announced, leading in front of Luffy.
"You can't be serious, can you?" A woman trembled with this.
"Of course, I promise you that Arlong will never be a problem again after today!" She announced.
'Come on, this is a good scene for a classical music piece like One Piece's OST, Overtaken! ....Tu Tu Tu-Tu-tutu....' Luffy smiled, imagining the music playing in his mind as they walked with Nami in the lead.
More and more people came to see Nami's strange group and started following them. The entire village followed them as they moved away and approached the domains of the fish-men on one side of the coast.
"Is she really going to do this? What happened?"
"Do you believe the story that she can do magic?"
"I don't know, but she looks very different, and this group is quite strange. They don't seem to be afraid of Arlong..."
"Nami seems confident about this, even said she would fight Arlong himself!"
"Nojiko can't let this happen! Her sister will only be killed like this!"
"Someone stop her."
"It's too late; she's already in front of the gates!"
"STOP HER!"
"NAMI!"
Nami didn't care and let the power of the wind circulate her hand as she leaned back and punched the gate along with the wall of Arlong Park.
*BOOOM!*
A moment earlier.
"Where is Hachi?! Why hasn't he returned yet?" In the crowd of fish-men in front of a sitting Arlong, Kuroobi said, crossing his arms.
"I don't know, Arlong. He hasn't shown up since he went to look for Momoo." Someone from the crowd of fish-men spoke.
"Take and Shioyaki went to talk to the Marines, but they're also late."
"What the hell is happening today? Strange and concerning events all day long. It seems like something drastic is going to happen on a day I should be getting even richer with Nami's money!" Arlong growled, his bad luck and negative feelings growing inside him.
As soon as he spoke, something unexpected happened.
*BOOOOOOOOOOM!*
An explosion caught their attention; the main gate flew from the explosion and impact, hitting some fish-men who were in front of Arlong.
"WHAT?!"
"WHO DID THIS?!"
"GUYS, ARE YOU OK?!"
"THE GATE WENT FLYING!"
"KREG.... IS HE DEAD? HE WAS CRUSHED BY DEBRIS!"
They looked at their fallen comrades in disbelief and turned their gaze to where the gate used to be. There stood someone they never imagined seeing like this. While keeping her fist still raised, she stared at them and spoke in a loud tone.
"Hello, Arlong! It's me, Nami, and I'm here to finish you!" Nami said confidently, facing more than 40 fish-men in front of her.
