18 Chapter 17

A dozen Fishmen came and charged at us. I didn't even have to do anything, as Sanji already had dashed in front of me and quickly dealt with them. Beside me, he was the angriest of our group and released his anger on the Fishmen. Sanji made sure to leave those guys with at least one broken limb. He was nothing more than a blur while maneuvering between the Fishmen and kicking everyone within his range. Sanji is at least as fast as Kuro when he used his transformation, and that is without him using Soru, which he already learned.

Ussop was shooting everyone in sight with his slingshot, and I didn't see him miss even once. That's not that scary unless you add in the fact that his ammunitions are tiny bombs, which explode on contact. They were in the shape of a small ball, so you wouldn't think of them as something special until they hit you and then boom. Just one bomb is not that destructive, but Ussop had found a way to mass produce them. He was hitting each Fishman with at least a couple of them.

Zoro was slashing at those that came close to us while sending wind blades at everyone else. He was still injured, but he will never miss the chance to fight and improve his skills. Zoro was using only one sword, but not a single one of the Fishmen were able to put up a resistance. He wasn't merciful with them as well since there were a few who had their limbs barely connected to their bodies.

In mere moments more than thirty Fishmen were left lying around us, and not a single one of the was in a fighting condition. Out of the main building of Arlong Park, four stronger looking Fishmen came out.

One of the four, an octopus Fishmen used his mouth as a horn and called out a giant sea cow. The sea cow has the same face of a cow, and he even has a gold ring on his nose. I didn't want to bother with this, so I grabbed the sea cows horns and threw him as hard as possible towards the main building. The creature flew destroyed the upper floors.

By this point, Zoro had already attacked the octopus Fishmen, since he was the only one using a sword from them. Sanji was fighting a Fishmen in a martial arts gi, who had shark fins on his elbows. Ussop was having a shootout with a tall Fishmen, who had a weird looking mouth and was shooting water from it. Ussop seemed to have the upper hand since he was landing his shots and dodging every water bullet.

The last Fishmen was arrogantly standing behind with his arms crossed. He is taller than me and has a big saw-shaped nose. I couldn't bear his presence, so I made my move. Using Soru, I was able to reach him almost instantly and sent him flying into the building. Before I hit him, I saw his eyes widen in surprise.

"You made a mistake coming here. I will chop you up and your friends, you stupid monkey." Coming out of the building, he was carrying a giant black pole with six saw-toothed patterned black blades, resembling a shark's saw-like teeth.

"You will pay for all the pain you've caused to both Nami and the village.." I told him as I dodged a swing of his weapon.

"Don't worry, when I deal with your hairy ass I will kill off all the villagers. That bitch Nami, on the other hand, I will torture her until she learns her position." I was already angry at the first thing he said, but the comment about Nami irked me the wrong way. The moment I heard that I was mad beyond belief.

I was emitting steam since I already entered Second Gear while he was talking. This time he couldn't even see me when I used Soru. I started punching him around like a rag doll. He didn't even hit the ground since I was following him after every hit. The maximum amount of time I can use the Second Gear is for around two minutes before I run out of juice.

After abusing Arlong for a bit over than a minute, he was currently laying in front of me, but I still wasn't done. Getting on top of him, I continued to pound him while he was on the ground. I inflated my right arm and was ready to turn him into meat paste. Unfortunately, I couldn't bring myself to do it. I value life too much, to take it away from someone else. Nonetheless, I made sure to scar him for life. I turned both of his legs into mush.

After calming down a bit from my frenzied state, I was able to look around and see the condition of my crew. Sanji's suit was drenched in blood but didn't look injured. Ussop was bleeding from a few wounds, but he mostly looked fine. Zoro, on the other hand, was using his sword as a walking stick and barely staying up. Despite that, he had a huge smirk on his face and looked content.

Since we dealt with the Fishmen, I had one more thing left to do. I turned around towards the main building of Arlong park, and I let myself go loose. After destroying the building, I released my hybrid transformation. I noticed that the villagers had gathered outside the destroyed gate. Nami was at the front of the crowd with tears in her eyes.

The moment our eyes met, she dashed towards me. Unconsciously I took a few steps towards her, and once she reached me, she jumped at me and hugged me like a koala hugging a tree.

"Thank you thank you thank you." Despite the tears in her eyes, she looked ecstatic. Before I knew, she pulled me in for a kiss. The second our lips met, the world stopped for me. I didn't care about the squirming Fishmen that were asking for help around us or the screaming of the villagers. At that moment, Nami was the only thing that existed in my eyes. I can't say I knew what I was doing since this was my first kiss, but I just went with the flow and followed what she is doing. We probably stayed like that for no more than a minute, but to me, it felt like an eternity.

Our moment was interrupted when I heard a bunch of people coming our way and causing a commotion. After unwillingly I stopped our kiss I saw around twenty Marines in front of us. Leading them was a man with rat whiskers.

"Chichichi, who would expect Arlong to fall to a few nobodies. Well, that doesn't matter to me, I already got myself eighty million Berri out of this deal, and now I even get to turn in Arlong and his crew as a bonus." Captain Nezumi, looked very satisfied with the current situation. Too bad for him, Johnny and Yosaku dealt with all the marines that were there.

"Leave this guy to me." Nami declared and pulled out her boa staff. I don't think Nezumi will ever be able to please himself or anyone else for that matter after Nami finished with him. He certainly won't be using his arms or manhood in the future, unless they have some incredible medicine or a powerful healing Devil fruit.

Everyone was captured and bound, except for the octopus Fishmen. He was somehow able to escape into the sea after Zoro had defeated him.

I went back to Gosa Village to get our ship and docked it right next to the Marine ship. I gave one of our Den Den Mushi to the villagers there so that they can contact the Marines and request for someone to pick up everyone we captured. The villagers later told me, someone will come in two days.

What followed after this was the best party I have ever seen. Everyone dancing, eating, or drinking alcohol. The village was in an extremely festive mood after we took down Arlong. There was soo many different types of food available I did my best to try every dish I saw.

At night, I was alone on a table and eating everything in sight. I saw Nami in a gorgeous blue dress coming towards me. She took me away and brought me to a wooden grave. Nami explained to me this is her mothers grave and started telling me stories about her. I hugged her while she was talking and stayed there for around an hour under the night sky.

"Come, let's go." Nami took my hand and led me back to her house.

"Close the door." She told me after entering her room. I turned around and did as ordered. Once I turned back around, Nami had already removed the dress and was naked in front of me.

What followed was the best night of my life. Or is it lives? We were very awkward in the beginning since it was a first for both of us, but we got more comfortable with each other throughout the night.

I might not have lasted long the first time we did it, but I had nearly unlimited stamina. I stopped counting how many times we did it or how many poses we changed that night, but at some point, Nami got very sleepy. Despite feeling full of energy, I decided to stay there and let her use me as a pillow.

It was already morning, and Nami was still sleeping. I enjoyed staying like this with her, but I slipped away and went to grab something to eat. There was no food at all in the house, so I went outside.

I heard someone walking in the Tangerine Grove, so I decided to check it out. I saw a blue-haired woman walking around the trees that were not uprooted. Nojiko was inspecting all the tangerines. She was holding a slightly larger brown looking tangerine that had swirls on it.

"Stop!" I tried calling out to her, but she had already peeled the fruit and eaten a piece. I saw the disgust when she tasted the fruit. Nojiko stumbled for a bit and was about to fall, but I was able to catch her.

"Argh, what is this tangerine it tastes awful." She was spitting while saying.

"You, my dear sister in law, just ate a Devil Fruit." How did the fruit even appear here? Did the previous eater die and it just popped out of nowhere? There is so much information regarding Devil Fruits that is omitted from the people of this word.

"You had a great time with Nami, yesterday, huh. I couldn't sleep because of you humping like bunnies throughout the whole night." My face was as red as a tomato after she teased me and I didn't know how to answer her. I told her she ate a Devil Fruit and yet she teases me about last night.

"What's this about me eating a Devil Fruits. Aren't they just a myth?" Thankfully she didn't continue teasing me.

"No, I have personally eaten one myself. Didn't you see me fight Arlong?" I made my arm stretch around her.

"Wow, this is amazing. Can I do the same thing?" Nojiko asked me.

"Most likely not, each fruit gives different abilities to the eater. You should be able to feel it within you almost instinctively. Do you have any weird feeling or something." Nojiko closed her eyes and tried concentrating after hearing me.

"Yes, I can feel it! I know exactly what I can do. Watch me now!" She turned around and brought her hands in the air.
