Arlong Park part 8
Yosaku: You can’t be serious!
Johnny: I am. She was a traitor all along. She’s been winning Arlong’s favor so she could have the treasure buried in Cocoyashi Village all to herself! She’s just a cold blooded killer! She won’t stop until she gets what she wants! Nami had us fooled the entire time-
Luffy: Quiet! Say another word and you’ll regret it!
Zoro: Easy, Luffy. This has nothing to do with Johnny.
Johnny: Go on, believe what you want. But I saw what I saw! Nami killed big bro Usopp-
Luffy: Shut your mouth! Never in a million years would she kill Usopp! She’d never do that to her friends!
Morbius: Yeah! She might be heartless and a bit mean, but she wouldn't kill Usopp!
Johnny: But I saw it!
Nami: What was that about friends, Luffy?
Luffy: Nami!
Nami: What are you doing here?
Luffy: “What are we doing here?” You’re our friend.
Morbius: Yeah, we came to get you.
Nami: What a pest.
Luffy: Nami?
Nami: Friends, huh? Don’t make me laugh. You're hurt pathetic enough to deserve each other.
Johnny: Damn, you! You killed him, I watched you do it! And now big bro Usopp is gone!
Nami: That’s right. So why don’t you kill me and get your revenge?
Johnny: What?
Nami: Word to the wise, fellas. Because of your friend’s stupidity, Arlong’s preparing to kill Zoro along with his entire crew. And I don’t care how monstrously strong you think you are. You’re no match for the real monsters. I promise you, if you stay on this island you will die. So, you have a choice to make, between life and death.
Zoro: Grrr…
Morbius: I don't understand, why are you-
Sanji: Her heartless face is so hot! Hi, Nami! It’s me, Sanji! Let’s run away together!
Zoro: Can it, Romeo! This isn’t the time or place for that!
Sanji: Excuse me! Love is like a hurricane, so back off!
*Zoro ignores him.*
Sanji: Hey, look at me when I’m talking to you!
Zoro: Nami, where’s Usopp?
Nami: With the fishes.
Zoro: Damn it, cut the crap!
*Zoro draws his remaining sword, but Sanji nearly kicks him in the head.*
Sanji: How sad? A swordsman striking a lady.
Zoro: Idiot, can’t you see what is happening here?! You’re starting to piss me off!
Sanji: If someone had stopped me that easily, I’d be mad too.
Zoro: You should watch your mouth!
Sanji: I’ll say whatever I want, bastard!
Yosaku: Big bros, we’re all in this together! This is not the time to fight!
Nami: Your friend is right. Now quit bickering and leave. You outsiders have no reason to butt into this island’s affairs. Don’t you get it, yet? The only reason I got close to you idiots was so that I could rob you of everything you had. But now that you’re broke, the dream’s dead. So go, take your ship. Go find a navigator dumb enough to join your voyage. Continue your quest to find the one piece or whatever. Just leave here. You’re an eyesore!
Luffy:…
*Luffy falls to the ground.*
Johnny: Big bro Luffy!
Morbius: What the hell are you doing?!
Luffy: Sleepy.
Johnny: Sleep?!
Yosaku: At a time like this?!
Morbius: In the middle of the road?!
Luffy: Well, I’m pretty tired. I’m not gonna butt into their affairs. I’m not interested. But I’m not leaving either. Night.
*He starts falling asleep.*
Morbius: Of all the times to sleep.
Nami: Whatever! Just go ahead and die!
*She runs away.*
*Nojiko follows Chabo as he runs for the shore.*
Chabo: Come on, hurry up!
Nojiko: What’s the deal?
Chabo: The marines are here! We’re saved! Some survivors from Gosa contacted the government and told them what happened! Now the marines are here to rescue us all! See!
*They make it to the shore and see a navy ship approach the island.*
Chabo: It’s finally over! We’ll finally get to leave this horrible place!
*On the ship*
Marine commodore: So this is the infamous Arlong Park? What is the world coming to if pirate scum can set up such a horrible base? Listen up, men. Our noble mission is one of extraction. We must rescue the citizens of Gosa, which was destroyed by the Arlong Pirates. But I am left wonder, would our brand of swift and terrible justice allow us to overlook these unchecked groups?
Marines: Sir, no, sir!
Marine commodore: Correct! Our unit must annihilate Arlong and his men! Prepare for battle at once!
Marines: Sir, yes, sir.
*At Arlong Park*
Arlong: Is that right? Marines from the 77th branch?
Chew: That’s right.
Arlong: A newcomer. We’ll have someone negotiate with the man in charge. If 2 million isn’t enough to keep them from trying anything funny, then kill every last one of them.
*But the ship fires at them.*
Fishman Pirate 1: The marines!
Fishman Pirate 2: Arlong, look out!
*But Arlong catches the cannonball with his mouth and crushes it with his teeth.*
Fishman Pirate 3: Woah, he crushed a cannonball.
Fishman Pirate 4: Those jaws are terrifying.
Kuroobi: So what now? Are the negotiations still on?
*Arlong spits the pieces out.*
Arlong: Canceled.
Fishmen Pirates: To battle!
Chew: Chew. Hold up, guys. Not so fast. There’s no need to waste so much energy just to take out the trash. Chew.
Hatchan: Just leave it to us!
Kuroobi: What foolish humans they are to pick a fight with us. In our own waters, too.
Fishman Pirate 3: Those marines don’t stand a chance against the 3 top officers.
Fishman Pirate 4: I doubt that ship will make it in 3 minutes.
Marine 1: That’s odd. Commodore, it seems that cannonball was a dud.
Marine commodore: Fire another one! This is a signal of open hostility! Never drop your guard when dealing with fishmen.
Marines: Sir!
*Chew jumps out of the water.*
Chew: Water gun!
*Chew spits a shot of water from his mouth at such speed and pressure that it kills one of the marines.*
Marine 2: It’s one of them!
Marine commodore: Stand down, right now! One of Arlong’s men, yes? I am commodore Pudding Pudding of marine branch 77. Allow me to elaborate, we are an elite unit. Do you understand, Fishman? If you wish to live, surrender immediately-
*But Chew spits a shot of water from his mouth.*
Marine 1: Commodore!
Marine 2: He shot him!
*The ship begins to shake.*
Marine 3: Don’t tell me there’s fishmen under the ship!
*Kuroobi removes the rudder from under the water.*
Chew: I’m sorry to inconvenience you like this. But we took the liberty of removing your rudder. Is that ok?
Pudding Pudding: You what?!
Marine 3: Commodore!
Chew: Chew. Don’t worry, I didn’t hit any of his vital organs. Commodore, I have a question. It’s just hypothetical. If one were to move a reef into a strong current, what do you suppose would happen to the ocean?
*Hatchan begins moving the reef under the ocean.*
Kuroobi: Right over there, Hatchi!
Hatchan: You got it!
Pudding Pudding: Moving the whole reef! That’s just not possible!
Marine 3: Commodore, look! It’s a whirlpool!
*A whirlpool appears in front of the ship.*
Pudding Pudding: Why aren’t we moving?!
Chew: I told you, we removed the rudder. This rudderless ship is heading straight for the seafloor. Chew.
*The ship is swallowed by the whirlpool, killing all the marines on board.*
*Nojiko and the villagers watch from afar.*
Chabo: They’re dead…
Nojiko: That’s right. And so is hope. Time to face the truth. There’s no way to escape Arlong’s control.
Arlong: I bet you’re tired.
Kuroobi: No, I didn’t even break a sweat. We know everything about these waters. From the shore to the depths. It was quite easy.
Hatchan: With our expert knowledge on these waters, no one can beat us.
Chew: Yes, but let’s not forget Nami’s chart.
Hatchan: I checked those before we moved the reef. It even tells the flow of the current and everything.
Kuroobi: Indeed. They are excellent charts. If we can persuade Nami to do this for all the world’s oceans. we would be the undisputed rulers of the sea forever!
Arlong: I know Nami’s brilliant. She could be critical in the creation of the Arlong empire. Such a shame.
Hatchan: A shame?!
Chew: He promised to her and Cocoyashi go when she saves up $100 million.
Hatchan: Seriously?! You can’t let her leave! Say it ain’t so, boss!
Arlong: I have to. That’s what we agreed upon 8 years ago. I’m the kind of man who always keeps his promises when it comes to money. Always.
*Back with Luffy and co.*
Johnny: Hey, big bro Zoro, what on earth are you thinking?!
Yosaku: You forget that Arlong’s out to kill us? We should be running away!
Johnny: Now that we’ve seen what Nami is really like, there isn’t a single good reason why we should stay on this island!
Zoro: My reason for staying is there.
*Referring to Luffy, still sleeping on the ground.*
Zoro: I’m staying because he’s staying.
Yosaku: Don’t be stupid, big bro Zoro! You saying you want to bring her back, too?
Zoro: What I want has nothing to do with this. I don’t decide who the navigator is. He does.
Morbius: Yeah. So if you guys want to leave, then we won’t stop you.
Johnny: Right. You’re not leaving. Sorry to cut our reunion short, but I won’t stay. My role as guide ends here.
Yosaku: Yeah, I’m with him. I don’t want to deliberately get myself killed.
Zoro: Fine. I’ll see you around.
*Johnny and Yosaku leave.*
Johnny: Until we meet again, big bro Zoro!
Yosaku: Take care, you guys!
Zoro: You, too.
Morbius: See ya, later.
Sanji:… Well, what do you think it is? Why was she crying?
Zoro: I don’t know. Was she crying?
Morbius: Yeah, I didn’t see any tears.
Sanji: She was in her heart.
Morbius: How poetic.
Zoro: If there were, they were tears of guilt for killing Usopp.
Sanji: Yeah, right. Are you serious? You really are dense.
Zoro: Hm?
Sanji: Do you seriously still believe that Nami could have killed Usopp?
*A cloaked man runs through the forest. It’s revealed to be Usopp.*
Usopp: When she did that…
*He recalls the events that happened earlier. That Nami actually stabbed her hand and he pretended to die.*
Usopp: When Nami stabbed her hand, she did it to make it look like she stabbed me! I can’t believe she did that for me! Otherwise I’d be fish food! But what should I do?! A manly man like me shouldn’t just turn away and run after being saved! One step at a time! Gotta find Zoro!
*He sees Luffy and the others.*
Usopp: Is that him up ahead?! It is! It’s Zoro!
