Arlong Park part 17
Zoro: I’ll beat his ass real good and cold and safe you, Luffy!
*He dodges Hatchan’s ink and tries to slash him. But Hatchan ducks and Zoro cuts off some of his hair.*
Hatchan: You bastard! My hair! But it’s ok, it’s only hair. It’ll grow back. You can’t be me, Zoro. I have 6 hands that will mesmerize you with their wiggly beauty!
Zoro: Shut up!
Hatchan: Hachi triple sword catch! Now… you… will… see my skills!
*He tries to catch Zoro’s sword by the blade but gets cut instead.*
Hatchan: That hurt?
Zoro: I don’t have time for this crap!
*Zoro starts to feel pain.*
Zoro: Oh, not now!
Sanji: Is he still hurt,
Kuroobi: Lose focus and you’ll lose your life!
*Kuroobi attempts to clothesline Sanji. But he ducks.*
Sanji: I bet you taste good with butter!
*Sanji kicks him, but Kuroobi blocks it.*
Zoro: I’ve got no time left! Why don’t you die!
*Zori tries to attack him again, but Hatchan jumps and latches onto one of the pillars.*
Hatchan: Too bad! Hachi’s sucker stuck.
Zoro: Don’t just sit there! Get down and fight! Damn, coward!
Johnny: Stupid octopus! He’s just dying to waste our time!
Yosaku: But if we try to save Luffy now, they’ll just drag us to the bottom of the sea and drown.
Johnny: If we sit here and do nothing, then Luffy drowns for sure.
Yosaku: Morbius got knocked out by Arlong, so he can’t help.
Johnny: Which means it’s up to us.
Yosaku: We’ve got to think of a way to help him.
Johnny: Yeah!
Genzo: Hold on!
*He barely touches them and they feel pain.*
Genzo: What good are the 2 of you gonna do in the sea when you can barely walk? If you’re trying to figure out a way to save that young man, then I believe I should be the one to volunteer ahead of you.
Johnny: You’ll save him?
Genzo: His survival is the key to our winning. If we don’t save him we will certainly lose. You agree?
Townsfolk 1: I’ll go with you.
Townsfolk 2: Me too.
Townsfolk 3: I’m with you, Genzo.
Genzo: I’m going alone. The fishmen will suspect something if we go in such a large crowd and I fear doing so will cause more harm than good.
Townfolf 4: But we can-
Genzo: Not another word about it. There’s no point endangering more people than we have to. I must go alone. If that’s ok, well, boys?
Johnny: Yes, thank you!
Yosaku: We’re counting on you! But please, hurry!
Nojiko: Hold on! I’m coming too, Genzo!
Genzo: Nojiko, you’re hurt!
Nojiko: You’re not going to leave me out of this when those guys are out there fighting for my sister’s life. You can’t.
Genzo: Fine. We have to hurry!
Nojiko: Right!
*They run around the wall.*
Johnny: I’m sorry. If only I was stronger.
Yosaku: Please save Luffy. Don’t be too late.
*Kuroobi keeps blocking Sanji’s kicks.*
Sanji: Bastard fishman!
Hatchan: Hey, I have a question I’ve been meaning to ask you, Zoro. You're famous for your 3 sword technique, so why use 1?
Zoro: You're running scared with 1, why would I need 3?
Hatchan: Shut up! I’ve just been playing around with you! Actually, humans can’t defeat me. I could tell you why but I think it’ll be more fun to show you. I really think you’re going to enjoy it a lot, too.
Zoro: Damn it, I can’t fight back the pain. And my fever, it’s getting worse. I thought I could walk it off, but…
*Zoro begins to feel disoriented.*
Sanji: Crap, I thought as much! You still haven’t recovered from your fight with Mihawk!
Johnny and Yosaku: Zoro!
Hatchan: I’m not stupid. Falling for the old injured routine. I’ll be back. Time to see what my skills are really like.
*He climbs up the pillar and to the second floor of Arlong Park. He exits holding 6 swords.*
Hatchan: Now, tremble against Hachi’s 6 blades!
*But Zoro collapses.*
Hatchan: Hey, you’re not supposed to die yet! I haven’t even killed you!
Yosaku: No, Zoro!
Johnny: I knew it! He’s been faking it!
Yosaku: So true! The way he’s been pummeled would kill any normal guy but he tries to fight anyway!
Doctor: Whatcha say?!
Sanji: I thought it was strange. He walked around like nothing had happened after such a horrible fight. He’s laying down flat.
*Kuroobi karate strikes Sanji in the chest and sends him crashing through the wall.*
Kuroobi: I told you to pay attention to me, you weakling! I’m a 40th Don in Fishman Karate!
Townsfolk 4: What the hell just happened?
Yosaku: Sanji? It can’t be him! Sanji!
Kuroobi: They’re taken care of, Arlong. What would you like us to do with Zoro?
Arlong: What a waste of time. Just toss them in the sea. Hardly entertaining.
Hatchan: Aw, that’s all?
Kuroobi: Well, they did manage to make bit of a mess.
Arlong: No big deal. As long as Arlong Park is still standing.
Kuroobi: True.
Hatchan: No fair! He killed himself! I never got the chance to show him how great of a swordsman I am! If he could died by one of my 6 blades I could have stolen his fame. Well, it’s no matter. There isn’t a human alive who can compare to my 6 blades! Only the superior only a 6 style swordmaster can obtain!
*Hatchan creates a small twister with his swords.*
Kuroobi: Enough, Hachi! I understand how you must feel. But if you continue with this little demonstration, you’ll destroy Arlong Park!
Hatchan: Oops. I forgot I could destroy stuff.
Kuroobi: Don’t get carried away.
Hatchan: I’m fine now.
Zoro: Way of 6 blades? What a loser.
*Zoro gets up.*
Johnny: Way to go!
Hatchan: You’re not dead!
Zoro: Let me make this clear, you sorry excuse for a swordsman. There’s a certain man I have to face. And until I see him, death cannot touch me.
*Usopp continues running from Chew.*
Chew: Damn. Long nose freak is fast. I can’t believe he’s getting tired. Chew.
Usopp: Hahahaha! If he keeps following me he can’t fight Luffy and the other guys! I’m the master distracter! I’m a smart and noble friend! Who knew running like a scared little girl could be so brave?
*Usopp stops for a second.*
Usopp: Ok, let’s see. I can’t even see him back there. Man, I’m too fast. I guess I should’ve slowed down a little bit. They may be able to swim like fish in the water, on land they’re just like turtles. That’s right. Stupid, stupid turtle man!
*Chew appears behind him.*
Chew: You’re a funny man but you’re not very smart, are you?
*Usopp jolts off.*
Chew: Get back here!
