章 46: Chapter 46: No More...Daddy
Third Person's PoV:
Earlier,
Most of the Fishmen pirates were gathered in the pool area which was connected to the ocean. Although they had no problems being on land, most of the fishmen's natural habitat was water, so they felt better being in water than on land.
"Arlong-san, was it really alright to push ahead with the plan this early? Nami hasn't even returned to the island yet. Now, the villagers of Cocoyasi are at our front gates." A Fishman with three fin-like protrusions on his head asked. His entire body was pale green, but he wasn't sick, it was just his natural color scheme.
As one of the Arlong Pirate, he, along with everyone else, knew that Arlong was planning to dupe Nami. How could the boss possibly let such a talent go free? However, he felt that they rushed the plans a bit and unexpected things might come of it.
This thought was only on the level of losing Nami, nothing bigger. As one of the reigning pirate crew in the East Blue, they feared nobody. Not the marines, not bounty hunters, and certainly not other pirate crews.
"Hmph! That woman deserved what we've done to her. She should be glad that we value her and keep her alive, even though she's just a lowly human!" Before Arlong could reply, a cold sneer sounded from behind the Fishman who posed the question.
From behind, a shadow was casted over the Fishman and the figure of another Fishman was revealed. This Fishman's name was Kuroobi. As one of the top brass of the Fishman pirate, he had a high standing among his fellow mates.
Kuroobi is a Fishman who is primarily gray in color. He has the appearance of a martial artist with a dark blue gi, a black belt, and his hair is tied into a straight ponytail. His Sun Pirate tattoo is on the right side of his chest.
"Should I personally go out to kill them all?" Kuroobi asked in a somewhat gleeful tone. He hated humans just as much as Arlong.
"Now, now, Kuroobi. You should know about the advantages of having that woman draw maps for us. As for those villagers, if they dare to set foot in here, we'll slaughter them without mercy." The leisurely voice of Arlong sounded. As he had his entire back leaned on the chair, Arlong exuded nothing but relaxation.
"Boss, earlier, our scouts on the East coast reported an unidentified ship headed for the island." A Fishman hurriedly came forward and informed everyone.
"Speak of the she-devil. Looks like Nami's back. I wonder which pirate crew she conned this time...chu~" a Fishman with an elongated mouth spoke up from beside Arlong.
"It doesn't matter what happens, she'll have no choice but to work for us, Fishmen pirates, for the rest of her life...shahahahaa!"
With that laugh as the impetus, everybody forgot about their previous conversations and started laughing along side Arlong.
"WHICH ONE OF YOU IS ARLONG!?"
Just as the fishmen were immersing themselves in their laughter, a loud shout from behind the gates suddenly sounded.
Looking towards that location, the fishmen noticed that the weather had gotten worse and it looked like it could rain at any moment.
Much of the people gathered there were baffled that someone actually dared to say such words while standing before the gates of Arlong Park. With that realization, came anger towards the person.
"Those inferior species sure are daring.." with a displeased tone, Kuroobi spoke up. He was already at his limits by not going out there and killing everything that breathed. Now, someone actually dared to outright challenge them!? Kuroobi was about to go mad with rage.
Bang!
Without waiting for someone to shout back, a giant fist print was firmly planted on the left side of the steel gate. This was followed by two more thuds and the gate was unable to take anymore and collapsed right into the Fishmen.
Once the debris cleared up, the figure of a lanky teen could be seen. His messy raven hair danced about in the wind and his face showed that he wasn't taking any bullshit.
"Which one of you is Arlong?" Luffy asked again after scanning everyone in the pool. This time, his tone was much milder, however, the threat behind his words remained the same.
Behind him, a crowd of civilians were left speechless by his actions. Not only did the teen come rolling in through a cloud, he suddenly jumped off and completely destroyed the menacing gate which towered above all of them.
Exactly who were these people and what did they want!?
Ignoring everybody's confused gazes, Luffy took a few steps forward. Thudding sounds were made with each step he took.
"Stop right there, buddy. Who the hell are you?"
A Fishman walked up to Luffy with two more following behind him. He lightly smacked Luffy's face a few times with the back of his hand in a condescending manner, completely ignoring the other party's darkening expression.
One by one, the Strawhats jumped off of the flying cloud and landed on the solid ground once again. They had weird expressions on their faces as this was the first time they ever rode a cloud. Contrary to expectations, the cloud was actually pretty solid and stable.
All of them got off except for two people. Those two people were naturally Josh, and the still unconscious marine captain Nezumi.
Josh went over to Nezumi's side to wake him up.
"Hey! Wake up!"
"Wake up!"
"Wake up..."
Shaking the shoulders of the unconscious man violently, Josh continued to urge him to awake. However, none of his attempts were taking effect..since that was the case, there was no need for Josh to be so kind by using words.
Pah!
One slap.
Nezumi's eyelids quivered. His consciousness was slowly returning to him. However, Josh didn't stop there.
Pah!
Pah!
PAAH!!
Three more slaps landed consecutively on the man's face. By now, Nezumi's face swelled up a bit, and dark patches appeared on parts of his face.
"No more...daddy..." a muffled mutter was heard by everyone. Although the voice was faint, nobody missed it as they all had their attention split between watching Luffy and Josh.
The crowd's expressions turned slightly disgusted. Even Zoro and the others who just got off the cloud took another step away in good measure.
"Who the hell is your daddy!?"
Josh was about to give another slap when he suddenly heard the muttering of the man in front of him. He nearly fell over in rage and killing intent surged through his eyes for a moment.
"Fine! You won't get up from my words. You won't get up from my slaps. I'll simply electrocute you till you wake up!" Josh bellowed furiously. This bastard dared to implicate him in such a manner. He was the one being held captive.
Josh almost felt like crying when he noticed the looks of disgust directed at none other than himself. Before, the crowd was looking at him like he was some saint who came from the heavens, but now, they looked at him like he was a predator who preyed upon unconscious men!
Electricity surged within Josh's palms and just as he was about to really shock the bastard, Nezumi suddenly got up.
"Wait...wait! I'm up. I'm up! Don't hurt me anymore..." he pleaded with the lightning man so as to not get hurt.
Before, he was up right after the one slap. However, he pretended to be still unconscious so that he might be spared of whatever the man had in mind.
Nezumi muttered such words in hopes of dissuading the man from giving him another slap to the face. It worked, however, instead of slapping him, the man was planning to fry him instead, so he hurriedly spoke up.
Nezumi truly looked pitiful at the moment. Some of his clothes were ruffled and with his hat missing, his hair was a mess. On top of that, some parts of his body was blackened due to the first electric shock he received. Added with the palm prints on both sides of his cheeks that were swelling, he looked worse than a beggar.
"You're going to watch everything that's about to happen. You won't speak a word. You won't move an inch. You violate any of those orders and I'll personally electrocute you. What happens after this is up to fate."
Unwilling to be dragged into the mess any longer, Josh gave some commands before tying him up to a tree.
Josh just left Nezumi dangling from a tree with a single string of rope keeping him in place. While he would love to personally torture him, Josh wasn't the one who had business with the corrupt marine.
Josh decided to leave his fate up to Nami and Nojiko to decide. Surely, those two women would be able to come up with much better ways to make the man suffer.
Even if they decided to just set him free after this, Josh wasn't going to be that lenient with him. At the very least, this marine captain was going to lose his life today, and nobody is going to be able to save him!
"I didn't know he swung that way. Usopp, remind me to never sleep in the same room as him in the future..." Sanji quietly muttered with one hand covering his mouth as he whispered to Usopp.
Josh was still able to hear it thanks to his devil fruit abilities. This did not make him happy, instead, he nearly choked on his own saliva in rage. Josh glared at Nezumi, who had a miserable look on his face, one last time before going over to his crewmates.
