Arlong Park part 18
*Underwater, Genzo tries to break the piece of stone that I’m stuck to with a hammer.*
Nojiko: He’s only been drowned for a little while. If we can get him back up we can revive him.
Genzo: Damn it! I can’t swing hard underwater to break this thing!
Nojiko: Hurry, Genzo!
Genzo: It’s no use! I can’t break it! He needs oxygen now but there’s no time to get an air canister! And we can’t carry him up with this rock…
Nojiko and Genzo: That’s it!
*Sanji lights a cigarette while laying in the ground then gets back up.*
Doctor: He’s still alive!
Yosaku: Alright, big bro!
Sanji: That was the best punch that fishman has got? The old man’s kicks were a hundred times worse. And I never even died.
Hatchan: What’s wrong, Zoro? You look like you’re having a really bad day or something. I’ve already demonstrated my way of 6 blades to these pathetic humans and there’s no hope to defeat me in that condition.
Zoro: Oh, just shut up already.
*Zoro puts on his bandana.*
Yosaku: Big bro. He’s taking such a beating.
Doctor: I’m sure the onset fever of his wounds are making him delirious or worse. If that wound opens up again, he’ll die for certain.
Johnny: But he doesn’t have time to think about that right now!
Yosaku: Yeah! And he’s the only one who can fight that 6 sword freak!
Zoro: I’ll show you 3 sword style… Yosaku! Johnny! Lend me your swords!
Yosaku: Of course!
Johnny: Big bro, catch!
*They throw their swords at Zoro.*
Zoro: Damn it. I’m losing it. I don’t know how much longer I can last.
Yosaku: Big bro, here they come!
Johnny: Catch them!
Hatchan: Ha! Now you’ll understand why 2 humans hands never have a chance to defeat me! Tentacle sword overload!
*Hatchan swings his arms around just as Zoro catches Johnny and Yosaku’s swords to block his attack.*
Zoro: 3 sword style! Streaming wolf swords!
*Zoro leans towards Hatchan, using two of his swords to block Hatchan’s attacks while twisting his body around as he is continuously moving to approach and dodge other attacks and eventually cutting through Hatchan’s stomach with the third sword.*
Yosaku: He did it!
Johnny: He faces all 6 swords! And not even a scratch!
Doctor: Perfect sword skill! With perfect concentration!
Hatchan: How dare you cut me like that! Now I’m really mad! I’ll kill you, bastard! There’s no way you’ll survive my next attack! You just got lucky is all! You’ll never beat my 6 swords with your 3! I have twice as many swords as you! Don’t you get it?! 6 is more!
Zoro: I was never very good at math.
*He thinks back to Mihawk’s words.*
Zoro: 3 swords…. 6 swords… Does it matter?! You may have more swords than me, but mine will always carry more weight than yours!
Hatchan: “Weight” you say? It may not look like it but my swords weigh quite a bit. Over 300 pounds each. They weigh much more than yours.
Zoro: I mean the burden- Oh, forget it.
Hatchan: 6 blades! Octopus pot stance!
*Hatchan positions all of his swords together in front of him and arranged in a circular array over his chest and clashes with Zoro.*
Hatchan: New year’s open!
*He breaks Zoro’s defenses by splaying his swords apart.*
Hatchan: Body slam!
*He then headbutts Zoro into the air.*
Yosaku: Cheap shot, stupid octopus!
Hatchan: How’s that?!
Johnny: Big bro!
Hatchan: You’ll never touch the ground alive! Waltz of 6 swords!
*Hatchan spins all six swords over his head like a fan blade.*
Hatchan: You’ll be minced meat if you touch me even for a second! Hahahahahaha!
*But Zoro manages to block Hatchan’s slashes and hits him instead.*
Johnny and Yosaku: Alright!
Hatchan: Damn it! First timed your dodge and rolled over my tentacle sword overload! Then you slice and dice my hands like some cheap sushi chef?! How dare you make a spectacle of mastered swordsmanship! You’ll pay for that, you son of a bitch! I’ll kill you!
*Zoro struggles to barely stand.*
Yosaku: Look at him. He’s in pain.
Doctor: That attack probably opened up his wound again.
Johnny: I wish I could take his place right now.
Zoro: Even this wound would kill a normal man. I’m not allowed to fail.
Hatchan: Octopus stance!
*Hatchan positions all of his swords together in front of him and arranged in a circular array over his chest again *
Hatchan: You’re going to die, Zoro!
Zoro: My body cannot feel the pain… It must not!
Hatchan: New year’s…
Zoro: I can’t lose. If I’m ever going to face Hawkeye as an equal I must be extraordinary!
*Hatchan charges at Zoro, but Zoro crosses his two swords across his chest and places the blade in his mouth horizontally behind them. Zoro then approaches Hatchan cuts through by swinging the swords across his chest, resulting in a descending diagonal-crossing slash from both swords while the mouth blade performs a horizontal cut that breaks Hatchan’s swords.*
Zoro: Dragon twister!
*Zoro spins with his swords to create a dragon-like tornado that both slashes and blows away Hatchan into the air.*
Arlong: Hachi…
Hatchan: Defeated… by 3 sword style…
*He crashes into the ground.*
Zoro: So, fish, you finally understand the weight I carry in my 3 swords. You satisfied?
*Meanwhile at Nojiko’s house, Nami bandages herself up from the wound she inflicted upon herself while still wearing Luffy’s hat.*
Nami: That’s enough crying. And enough sitting around. It’s time to make a decision. I’ve got to go! They’re all fighting for me!
Zoro: Alright. Now that tentacles is out of the way, I think it’s time to rescue Luffy and wake up Morbius.
Yosaku: Look out!
*Kuroobi appears behind him.*
Kuroobi: How could you do that to Hachi?!
*He tries to attack him, but Sanji blocks it with a kick.*
Kuroobi: You!
Sanji: You thought you gotten rid of me, huh?
Kuroobi: Not bad. I didn’t know there was anyone in the eastern sea who could stand up after one of my punches.
Sanji: Oh, sure, there’s a whole bunch. At certain a restaurant I know. Wanna go?
Kuroobi: I don’t think so.
*Zoro moves to the water.*
Johnny: Big bro, don’t do it!
Sanji: What do you think you’re doing? You’re dead if you go in the water like that.
Zoro: Just shut up. He won’t last much longer. You ladies wanna stop chatting?
Sanji: Yeah, time’s up. If I can get you to shut up for a moment, maybe you have noticed I was about to do this.
*Sanji jumps into the water.*
Sanji: Here goes nothing!
Kuroobi: Hahahahaha! That’s great! He wants to try fighting in the water against a fishman!
Zoro: Stupid! I told you they wanted us to fight underwater!
*Kuroobi dives into the water after Sanji.*
*Sanji sees Nojiko and Genzo trying to help Luffy as he swims further down.*
Sanji: That man is from Cocoyashi Village. They’ve stretched out Luffy’s neck!
*Genzo performs CPR while next is stretched out to the surface with Nojiko.*
Nojiko: I’m sorry, but this is the best I can do. Please try to breathe. Please!
Genzo: Come back, damn it! I can’t hold my breath much longer! Come back now!
Sanji: I see. They couldn’t move the stone so they moved Luffy's head above the water. All I have to do is break the rock and the situation should take care of itself.
Kuroobi: Fishman karate! Forearm sledge!
*Kuroobi slams his arm fin into the back of Sanji’s neck.*
Arlong: Shashashasha! This is more like it! Somebody else do something entertaining! Shashashasha!
*Chew continues chasing Usopp.*
Usopp: Stop following me!
