Chương 6: Arrival
The instant Imai jumped out of the bubble, a strong wave of pressure pressed down on her. If a normal person did what she did, they would almost immediately die. But the pressure didn't affect Imai at all since she was far from normal.
Imai smiled, she glanced down at the others who were looking at her with worried faces. Though she had to get this over with quickly, who knows how long Luffy's arms could last under this pressure.
"Now then…let's get this over with." Imai muttered as she looked up at the rocks. "Sovereign's Quick Draw!"
A single purple line with streaks of lightning surrounding it separated the water in half as well as the incoming rocks and mud that was coming down at them. After her attack, Imai was immediately pulled back into the bubble.
Suddenly, Imai started coughing out water uncontrollably. She was too focused to realize the amount of water that was entering her body, there was a chance she could've drowned if she stayed there any longer.
"I'll help you cough out all of the water!" Nico said worriedly as she used her ability.
Imai raised her hand and stopped her. "No, I'm fine now. I didn't realize water was entering my body, I was too focused."
"Well, you're fine now! That's all that matters!" Luffy exclaimed. "But that single slash was so cool!"
"Un, I agree. It looked magical." Usopp said while nodding his head.
"Tsk, a single quick draw could do that much damage?" Zoro questioned. "Is that even possible?"
"Of course it is, Zoro." Imai said then smirked. "If you become my disciple, perhaps I could give you some lessons."
"No thanks, I'll never become someone's disciple ever again." Zoro replied.
"Whatever, you're missing out." Imai said with a shrug before turning to Nami. "Look outside, I think we're here."
"You're right."
They were now ten thousand meters underwater, but instead of a vast ocean. They were in a dazzling place that had pillars with patterns and different types of fish were swimming across the place.
In front of them was a huge globe with creatures swimming around it forming a ring.
"No doubt about it." Nami said as she formed a grin. "We've reached Fish-Man Island!"
"Wow! It's huge!"
"It's covered in a huge bubble! Are those clouds?! What if there's air inside?"
"But can we talk about that huge tree that's somehow growing underwater inside the bubble?"
"Alright!" Imai exclaimed, making everyone focus again. "Instead of questioning everything, why don't we go see for ourselves?"
But before they could start heading there, they were now surrounded by sea monsters. Several of them had fish-humans riding them. Suddenly, the ship started shaking. Surune the octopus started making a fuss and accidentally pushed the ship somewhere else.
They were now out in the open with sea monsters and angry fish-humans staring down at them.
"You guys are the Straw Hats, right?" one of them asked. "I've heard a lot about you guys. Especially from 2 years ago, when you foiled the Arlong Pirate's plans, and knocked out a celestial wizard. And it seems you guys have a new member."
"I'm not a new member." Imai clarified.
"Ah, then you can just step aside then. You could be useful in the future, I wouldn't want a pretty girl going to waste." the fish-human said.
Imai stared down at the fish-human like a hawk hunting its prey, her killing intent slowly poured out from her. The ship members took several steps back since they could barely breathe under the immense pressure.
"Eh? What is it, Ojou-chan? Are you angry? Don't worry! We'll treat you-" the fish-man suddenly couldn't talk. It was as if a snake was curling around his neck, suffocating him.
"You will die today."
The fish-man glanced at Imai and felt fear flood into him. A huge shadow with dark red eyes stared down at him as if he was nothing but a nuisance.
As if he was a speck of dust blowing in the wind.
"I-It's a demon! You're a-"
However, he couldn't finish the sentence due to Imai suddenly appearing in front of him. But in the next second, he was suddenly falling. He saw his own body fall onto the floor. That's when he realized that his head had been decapitated.
*VROOM*
The Sunny ship bursted through the water using the Coup de Burst.
Imai felt a large pair of hands wrap around her and pulled back onto a ship. She was now laying next to Nico and were both being crushed by the bubble.
"We're losing air!"
Imai glanced up and saw that they were crashing into the bubble. Those were the last moments she saw before waking up on a rock while surrounded by little beings.
"Ah! She woke up!"
"Woah! Her eyes are red! They look cool!"
Imai looked around and saw that no one she knew was with her. That's when she found her hand intertwined with Nico's, she had subconsciously done it before entering the bubble. Imai let go of it before anyone gets any ideas.
"So…" Imai looked down at the little beings. "Where am I?"
"You're on a rock!"
"I know that much, but where exactly are we?"
"We're on a shore near fish island's town."
Imai stood up and looked around. Sure enough, there was a lively town filled with fish-man as well as mermaids walking or swimming around.
*Cough* *Cough*
Imai glanced behind her. "Good morning, Nico. We're near the town of fish-man island and we've been separated from the others."
"I see, do you have any idea where the others are?" Nico aked.
Imai shook her head. "Not yet, but I'm sure they're fine. I bet they're going to stir up some trouble later and we can find them by that."
Nico laughed, the sound was heavenly to Imai's ears. Imai mentally slapped herself, she needed to focus, this was just a field trip, and she's going to leave once they're done.
"I see several elegant fish-man heading upwards. I'm going to get a ride and go up, what about you?"
"Hmm, I'm going to explore a bit. After all, there are some ancient traditions and information I want to gather here." Nico replied.
"Alright, then I'm going now."
Imai spotted a ride near the front of the town, but it most likely cost money. Quickly and stealthily, she took some money out of someone's pocket, and hurried to the ride.
"We're going up."
"Up? As in the palace? Are you sure you can enter? There's a banquet and I don't think uninvited guests are allowed inside."
"You sure talk a lot, do you want me to cut off your tongue?"
Immediately, the fish-man started heading towards the bubble that had a palace inside.
"Also, before you go, take this." the fish-man said before handing Imai a coral. "With that, you can easily form a bubble for yourself."
"Okay, thanks."
"You're not going to cut off my tongue right?" the fish-man asked nervously while glancing at the katana.
"We'll see."
