The Explorer of the Universe
26

Arlong stood up and looked at Tanaka then Luffy.

"You're saying that my flaws are too arrogant and belittling to other species? Hahaha, you humans deserve to be underestimated because you are weak." Said Arlong who was still acting arrogant and haughty.

"Who is weak? I am strong and I cannot be defeated by a fishman because I am the one who will become the Pirate King!" Luffy.

"King of the Pirates? Don't make me laugh! There's no way a weak human like you can become a pirate king." Arlong.

"It's past! I'll be the pirate king." Luffy replied innocently.

"Don't dodge! Humans are a stupid and weak species. What can you do when you can't get out of the water?" Arlong said then attacked Luffy again which Luffy easily avoided.

"That's why I need help!" Luffy said as he picked up the two unused swords on the floor.

"Didn't he know how to use a sword?" Ask Sanji.

Luffy swung the sword in his hand haphazardly.

"What's he doing? If you don't know how to use a sword then why take a sword?" Ask Nami.

"So, no one knows what the captain thinks, everything is done as he pleases." Said Tanaka who sighed.

"You just swung a sword recklessly." Said Arlong who could fend off all of Luffy's sword attacks.

Then one sword used by Luffy was thrown.

"If you're just playing around, I don't have time for that." Arlong.

Luffy swung the other sword that Arlong held with his teeth. The tip of the sword was broken and the sword was smashed by Arlong into pieces.

"It's been quite a fool." Arlong.

"Shut your mouth!" Luffy said while hitting Arlong which made Arlong's teeth broken.

"In the end, use the punch as usual." Tanaka.

"He smashed Arlong's teeth!!"

The residents cheered happily at the sight.

"I don't know how to use a sword, you're being rude!" Luffy.

"What did he say it for?" Ask Usopp.

"I don't know how to sail in the ocean, I can't cook, I don't know how to treat people, I don't know how to get people to float, and I can't lie either." Luffy.

"Oi!" Uselp said offended.

"I'm sure I wouldn't be able to do it without someone else's help!" Shouted Luffy.

"Hahaha, you admit how pitiful you are. You are truly an honest man. Your crew must be distracted by the existence of a useless captain like you." Ejek Arlong's.

"Hey, watch your words! Our captain is very useful, although he is a fool, but at least we feel that Luffy's existence is very useful to us!" Said Tanaka who refuted Arlong's words.

"I don't understand why your crew is so eager to save a captain like you. Someone who has no pride and speed like you became a captain? What can you do?" Ask Arlong.

"I can beat you!" Luffy.

"That's proof that our captain is of any use, that is, beating your ugly face." Tanaka Eject.

Nami chuckled at Luffy's statement.

"Of course, insolent!" Sanji.

"I'll guard the back row!" Usopp.

"I'll beat him up, if I lose..." Said Zoro who had woken up.

"You're awake? How are you doing?" Ask Tanaka casually.

"I swear I'll kill you if you do something like that!" Threaten Zoro who is still angry.

Tanaka just laughed at the threat. He looked back at Luffy and Arlong's fight.

"Stop him, Luffy Aniki!" Johnny and Yosaku.

"Fight!!"

"Rabbering is as much, lowly creature!" Arlong said, his teeth suddenly grew back.

"Ah, his teeth are growing again!" Luffy said innocently.

"I'm a shark, my new teeth will grow after they're broken and these new teeth will be stronger than ever." Arlong said, then let go of all his teeth.

"I can grow as much as I want, no matter how many times it is." Arlong said while holding his two teeth.

Johnny and Yosaku dropped their jaws on hearing that while Tanaka himself just put on a flat face.

"Then why? That's not important." Thought Tanaka didn't care about Arlong's teeth.

"This is the difference that heaven gives us." Arlong."

It's great!" Said Luffy who praised him instead.

"Do you now understand how great the fish man is?" Arlong asked who then attacked Luffy with two teeth in his hands each.

Luffy quickly dodged the shark's teeth.

"Stop!" Luffy said that finally looks like he was hit by Arlong teeth.

"Luffy's Gate!" Johnny and Yosaku.

Luffy was not hit by the shark's teeth but he turned out to make the body of one of the members of the Arlong Pirates as a shield so as not to be exposed to Arlong's attack.

"Brazed Rubber Man! How dare you use my brother as your shield!" Arlong.

"What are you talking about? You attacked him yourself." Ngeles Luffy's.

"Don't move, you brash Rubber Man!" Said the angry Arlong.

"Oh yeah! I have a great idea." Luffy.

"Great idea?" Johnny Said.

"What's he gonna do?" Yosaku.

"Surely he'll do something weird again." Said Tanaka who sighed.

Arlong continued to attack Luffy which Luffy avoided continuously.

At the moment of opportunity, Luffy kicked Arlong in the face which made Arlong's teeth come loose.

"That's it!" Luffy said with excitement.

"It doesn't mean you've crushed my teeth so many times." Arlong said and then grew his teeth again. "You still don't understand?!"

"Abang Luffy, so you don't actually have a plan, do you?" Ask Yosaku.

At that moment there was an oddity in Luffy's mouth.

"Look, I have fangs too!" Said Luffy using Arlong's previously detached teeth.

Johnny and Yosaku dropped their jaws.

Tanaka just shook his head in anticipation that Luffy would do such a thing when he was happy to see Arlong's teeth come loose.

"When are you going to play around?" Arlong said while attacking Luffy again.

The rubber man was also hit by Arlong's attack.

"I was bitten by a shark!" Shouted Luffy.

"That's because you're playing around!" Johnny and Yosaku were angry.

Tanaka laughed at the comedy that the three men were doing.

"I'm not playing around!" Luffy said firmly..

Arlong attacked Luffy again and the rubber man kept dodging until finally Arlong managed to bite Luffy's body.

"He's bitten!!" Johnny and Yosaku.

Luffy did not stay still, he then bit Arlong back so Arlong released his bite.

"Do you like your own teeth?!" Ask Luffy.

"Even if you use my teeth, your jaw remains weak. Listen, shark teeth are strong because their jaws are strong!" Clearly Arlong then tried to bite Luffy again which Luffy held with his arm so that his arm was bitten.

"Luffy's brother's arm is bitten!" Yosaku.

"Luffy!" Nami.

Luffy continued to scream in pain until he slammed Arlong's body and Arlong released his bite.

"Your teeth are nothing!" Said Luffy who fell to the floor right at the top of Arlong.

"Is his hand okay?" Ask Usopp who put his head in the hole of the fence wall.

"If he had been a little late slamming it, it was certain that his hand would have broken." Gen Sayar.

"A fool would never think of such a thing." Sanji Sahut.

Tanaka was a little worried about Luffy's circumstances.

"Captain! Are you all right? What's the need for a replacement to fight the fish man?" Tanaka Shouted.

"No, I'll beat him!" Luffy answered the one who got up but he did not see Arlong's whereabouts.

"Where did he go?" Asked Luffy who was looking for Arlong's whereabouts.

"Luffy, he's in the water!" Nami.

"Stuck in the water?" Luffy said, then he saw the shark fin. "There's a shark?"

"That's Arlong." Tanaka thought with a sigh due to Luffy's innocence.

"That's Arlong, stupid!" Usopp.

"He's diving, huh?" Luffy said when he saw Arlong's fins not visible anymore. "Did he run away?"

Arlong then attacked Luffy, as he approached the outskirts of the sea pond.

"Nobody can match my speed in water ... Shark on darts!!!"

"What's that?!" Usopp.

"Something jumps out of the pool!"

"It hurts!" Luffy.

Arlong slid like a torpedo bullet to the surface and hit Luffy and ended up in the second-floor building of Arlong Park where the walls were hollowed out by him.

But Luffy managed to avoid the attack even though he was still hit by Arlong's chainsaw-like nose.

"Oh, I'm impressed you can avoid it. But the more you avoid it, the more your suffering will continue." Arlong said as he looked at Luffy who was lying in pain at the bottom of the armpit.

Arlong again attacked Luffy the same way and quickly avoided Luffy.

Arlong's attack left his nose stuck on the floor. He really shot like a torpedo bullet.

"What! His nose is so strong." Shouted Sanji who was surprised. "His nose could smash that stone floor!"

Arlong continued to attack Luffy which he could not avoid so he was thrown continuously like a ball.

"Hey Luffy, go hide! Arlong went into the water again!" Usopp Pinta.

"Dragon, hide quickly!" Pinta Yosaku too.

"He's after you again!" Johnny's Sweats.

"Go from there!" Pinta Usopp again.

"No." Luffy.

"Don't be stupid! You'll be his easy target? Get away from the pool!" Sanji Pinta.

"I don't want to! I can catch him and smash his nose! Go, shark!" Said Luffy who was unyielding.

"Have you heard what we said?! Hide, Luffy! You can indeed dodge the attack, but it still hits you! If you get hit by his attack again, you'll-!" Say a cut Usopp.

"Usopp, quiet! The captain has decided!" Tanaka shouted and made Usopp speechless. "I know you're thinking about his safety, but Luffy has decided not to back down, we as his pirate crew just have to support him."

Nami looked at Tanaka, who had clenched his hand until he made his nails puncture the skin of his hand.

Nami held the man's hand to not clench his hand so tightly anymore.

"But ... " Usopp.

"Believe me, Luffy will definitely win because he will become the pirate king, he will not end up here and will not lose to a fish-man like Arlong that jerk." Tanaka.

Tanaka and the others looked at Luffy who was standing by the sea pond again, staring warily, waiting for Arlong's appearance.

"I'll catch him and I'll break his nose." Luffy.

"Hahaha, how dare the boy or does he think it's useless to hide?" Said Arlong who was still in the water waiting for the right moment to slide to the surface.

Luffy made quite a strange move in the eyes of the people.

"What kind of movement is that?" Yosaku.

"Don't he be going to stop his attack with that?!" Johnny Said.

Arlong who has got the right moment to slide to the surface immediately did so.

"With closer range and faster speed than before, I will destroy his heart!" Said Arlong coming out of the water, lunging at Luffy with his saw nose.

"Gomu gomu shield." Luffy said with a smile as he managed to resist the attack. "Because you! he he he"

However, Luffy flew to Arlong Park's second-floor building with Arlong.

"He's got to!" Johnny and Yosaku.

"What?! Did he get hit by his attack?!" Ask Usopp in a panic.

"No, he threw himself back before Arlong hit him." Sanji Clear.

"It turns out the captain isn't as stupid as we thought." Said Tanaka who sighed in relief.

Before hitting the second floor building, Luffy immediately dodged and stuck like a lizard on the wall of the third floor building.

"Hehe, now I know how to withstand your attack." Luffy. "You won't be able to attack me with the same attack again." Luffy said with a smile.

Arlong again attacked Luffy again which made Luffy hit by his attack and fell down.

"You can't run away from me!" Arlong said that stuck under a roof that was more third floor like Spiderman.

"Bad! That was just a coincidence? Just get scared." Said Luffy in surprise.

"This is the last attack!" Arlong said and then attacked Luffy.

"You won't be able to hit me! Gomu gomu net!" Said Luffy who formed his hand like a net and Arlong entered into it. "Fishing, fishing, let's fish!"

Luffy then attacked Arlong again by closing his legs and then displaying them while in the air

"Gomu gomu spear!" Luffy.

His legs had been transformed into a spear that hit the front body of Arlong which was below him which was also still in the air.

"Gohoo!"

Arlong fell so hard that it made the letter C in a horizontal form. His mouth is bleeding.

"Ohhhhh!" Said Usopp who was shocked and also happy.

"Successful!" Said Yosaku and Johnny who were also happy to see Arlong lying on the floor.

Meanwhile Luffy, who was still in the air, fell slowly right above Arlong.

"Is he dead?!" Ask Luffy.

"Look at Arlong's eyes just now!" Speak Gen is shocked.

"High his eyes like sea monsters while being angry. It seemed like he was really enraged by Luffy's last attack earlier!" Sanji Clear.

"I've never seen Arlong's eyes look like that." Nami.

"Luffy dodged!" Tanaka yelled as he warned Luffy of Arlong's attack in the mode of a flare.

"Basic of lowly men! What have you done to me who is a fishman, the strongest race in the world?!" Said Arlong who caught the head then twisted Luffy's body and threw it.

B"Ah, what a surprise! It didn't hurt, but it seemed like he was really angry." Luffy.

Arlong then attacks Luffy again, who Luffy quickly avoids by extending his hand to the roof over him.

Arlong who punched Luffy but did not hit so his hand penetrated the wall of Arlong Park building where there is a sword attached behind it.

"What's that?" Ask Luffy

"The crusher sword!" Nami.

"What a big saw!" Johnny and Yosaku.

Arlong again attacked Luffy with his weapon which Luffy quickly avoided again. Arlong chased after Luffy and attacked him until he was on the top floor of the Arlong Park building.

"He escaped into that building!" Sanji.

"Nami, is the room you're in a prison in on that floor?" Ask Tanaka.

Nami nodded her head. "Yes for 8 years I learned to navigate and make maps in that room." Answer Nami.

"Then, you can forget that memory because the captain will make it all go away." Tanaka.

Nami was astonished by Tanaka's words but moments later a table was thrown out of the navigation room which became a prison for Nami for 8 years.

"What's that?!" Ask Yosaku.

"Table..." Answer Sanji.

"That's the table!" Usopp replied more firmly.

Johnny and Yosaku then let out a sigh of relief.

"What, it turns out to be just a table, yeah." Johnny said.

"Well, that surprised me. I thought it was Luffy's brother." Yosaku.

"Hey, friend! Are you saying you don't believe in the power of Luffy Aniki?!" Johnny Said.

"Johnny, you're scared yourself, aren't you?" Yosaku.

The two of them argue and it makes Tanaka upset to hear it.

"Silence you two!" Tanaka's shout made the two of them shut up.

Tanaka looked back at where Luffy was. Then all sorts of things in the room fell down.

He glanced at Nami who was letting out her tears while closing her mouth.

Tanaka patted the head of Nami who was wearing a straw hat.

"The captain is erasing everything in the room so you can forget it." Tanaka.

"Thank you..." Nami said with tears.

"What the hell is going on?! Lots of things are falling!" Ask Usopp.

"It's really a tough fight!" Yosaku.

"Yes, like a life-and-death fight!" Johnny Said.

"That's how!" Yosaku.

Suddenly Luffy's foot popped out from the roof of the building. Then the foot went back into the building which also made a sound like something was falling down.

Arlong lay on the floor of the lowest building and was unconscious.

"Look! The attack just now made Arlong Park..." Doctor Say.

"No way, the building's collapsing!"

"It's dangerous, everybody stay away!"

"Sir Nami, Tanaka's brother, let's get away!" Johnny Pinta.

"But Luffy is still in it!" Said Nami who was panicked and worried.

"Luffy will be fine!" Said Tanaka who pulled Nami's hand to get away from the collapsed building.

"But..." Nami.

"You believe him, don't you? He won't end up in this place, he'll be the pirate king." Resolutely Tanaka who immediately moved away from the place while pulling Nami's hand.

"Arlong Park is ruined!" Said the Doctor who did not believe what he saw.

"Remember..." Johnny Said.

"What's really going on inside?" Ask Yosaku.

"Who won?!" Ask Sanji.

"Look at the ruins.don't-don't..." Gene Saying.

"Luffy..." Call Usopp.

Luffy is seen emerging from the destroyed remains of Arlong Park.

"Is he okay?!" Usopp.

"Nami! You are my friend?!" Luffy.

"Yes!" Nami said while crying.

Tanaka smiled looking at Luffy. Then the residents cheered happily because Arlong Park was destroyed.

"Good job, Luffy! You got a compliment from me! I will still praise you even though you will become more famous than me!" Said Usopp who started to act haughty.

"Basic, just make us nervous. From now on finish your business quickly huh, brash!" Sanji.

"It's so great!" Luffy.

Nami then put Luffy's straw hat on his head.

"Here, I return your valuables, there are rarely thieves who return valuables to their owners again." Nami.

"Shi shi shi, thank you, Nami." Luffy said with a laugh.

"I should be thanking you, Luffy." Nami. "Thank you, the captain has released me from this prison of suffering." Nami said with a sweet smile.

Sanji who saw it instantly popped out his lope-lope eyes and kept praising Nami like a striped nose om-om.

"Tanaka, Sanji, Zoro, thanks to you too." Nami.

Zoro and Tanaka just nodded their heads while Sanji was still in his increasingly vibrant playboy mode.

"Oi, me too!" Usopp.

"Haha, yes, you're Usopp too, thank you." Nami.

While celebrating the moment of Arlong Park's downfall and Arlong's defeat, there appeared some people who ruined the celebration.

"That's enough, all of you!" Said a Marine officer with a rat face, named Nezumi

"He's..."

"How lucky I am today! Good work, I'm watching your fight. Incidentally, I never thought fishmen would be defeated by unknown pirates like you." Reveal Nezumi in an arrogant style.

But, thanks to you, all of Arlong's money and valuables will be mine!" Nezumi said with a happy smile.

"Everyone, drop your weapons! What you're doing here will be under my control, Marine Division 16 captain, Nezumi!" Nezumi's orders.

Zoro pulled Nezumi's collar from behind.

"Don't ruin the happiness of others!" Zoro

"Zoro don't move much, your wounds will open again." Said Tanaka who gave a warning to Zoro.

"Whisper! Don't rule out what I want to do!" Said the angry Zoro.

Tanaka just shook his head and saw Nezumi being beaten by Luffy, Zoro, Usopp and Sanji.

The Marine soldiers who were his subordinates wanted to help their commander but they could not move in the slightest because Tanaka used force force to restrain the movement of all of them.

"You better all shut up! Or you want to die!" Threaten Tanaka with an intimidating look.

"Hmmm~ seems like I'm getting better at using force power, is it possible because I'm used to it?" Think Tanaka.

"You have beaten up Marine officers, you will regret it!" Nezumi.

"Can he still talk?" Ask Sanji.

"This is for your shot at Nojiko." Said Nami who floated her wand towards Nezumi's face very hard.

"Captain!" Shouted the Marine soldiers.

"And to you who have ruined Bellemere's orange garden." Nami then hit Nezumi with his stick again, but this time it was directed to Nezumi's stomach.

"Thank you, Nami! It makes me relieved!" Nojiko.

"

I'll hit you a thousand more times!" Gen said very angry.

Nami crouches down and then pulls Nezumi's mustache which is also like a mouse mustache.

"Your job here is to take care of those fishmen! And you will help rebuild the city of Gosa! And don't you touch Arlong's money or valuables! It belongs to this island, got it!?" Nami's orders.

"It hurts, it hurts, I'll do what you say!" Nezumi said in pain.

"And one more thing! Give me back my money!" Nami Strictly.

"I'll give it back.I'll give it back! I don't need it anymore..." Said the frightened Nezumi.

He immediately ordered his men to return to the ship and take Nami's treasure which he had forcibly taken.

After regaining her fortune, Nami releases Nezumi.

They immediately went swimming to get to their ship.

But by the time they're a little far away, "I'll remember all this, pirate scum! Straw hat man, your name is Luffy, isn't it?! You're the captain, right?! Don't forget this! You will be sought, for daring to play me! It's too late to regret it! I'll take revenge on you guys, just look at it later!" Threat Nezumi.

"We're gonna be on Marine's search list, yeah." Say Sanji casually.

"How did he know that I was going to be the Pirate King?" Ask Luffy who misunderstood.

"That's not what he meant, you idiot!" Zoro said furiously.

Tanaka laughed at the comedy performed by Luffy and Zoro.

"He-Hey, what should we do?! What if he really caused a big problem?! Hey, let's say something!" Usopp panicked.

Meanwhile in a place some distance away from the group of straw hat pirates that Gen was chatting with the doctor.

"It was unexpected that this island would be saved by pirates." Gene Saying.

"I don't understand either, but whatever it is we should celebrate the freedom of Arlong with all the inhabitants of this island! " Said the Doctor.

Then night falls and the villagers of Cocoyashi throw a party to celebrate the fall of Arlong Park.

A long-lost activity is back. The villagers were able to party with great joy.

At the party Luffy was eating a lot. Although he was beaten to death by Arlong, most of the injuries he received were not so severe that he could join the party.

Tanaka is helping doctors who are treating Zoro because his wounds are open again.

"Actually you are crazy or there is a brain disorder, this severe injury you do care like a small wound." The angry doctor.

The wounds experienced by Zoro, based on medical observation, took 2 years to heal completely.

If the wound does not open again.

"We don't have a doctor on board, so no one knows about medical care." Obviously Tanaka while holding Zoro who was in pain because his wound was being sewn without using painkillers.

"Why not find a doctor before sailing?" Ask the doctor who constantly gives stitches to Zoro's body so that the wound is closed again.

"That's because of our stupid captain, he insisted on finding musicians first rather than doctors." Answer Tanaka.

"Why is that?" Ask the doctor again who has finished sewing all parts of Zoro's wounds.

"That's because he thought pirates liked to sing so musicians were needed first rather than doctors." It was clearly Tanaka who let out a long sigh.

The doctor only fell silent and felt sympathy for Tanaka and the rest of the crew for getting a captain like Luffy.

The party lasted for three days and it lasted all day. Tanaka and Zoro can join the party on the second day.

Luffy constantly eats, then sleeps and when he wakes up he eats again. That was his job during the party. While Usopp continued to tell about his great lies to the villagers.

Sanji, as usual, dabbles in the typical food and then asks for the recipe, then teases the beautiful women who are in Cocoyashi village even though the woman is married and has children.

Meanwhile, Zoro continues to fill his stomach with liquor that makes Tanaka more convinced that Zoro's body is a monster.

On the next day, day four, Luffy decided to return to sailing so that Tanaka and the others, unless Nami immediately got ready to sail using the Going Merry.

"This is the last one, right?" Ask Usopp.

"Yes!" Zoro.

"Have you guys brought everything?" Ask Luffy.

"Yes!" Usopp.

"Alright, we've brought a lot of supplies, we can go." Sanji.

"It's only been a few days here, but this island brings a lot of memories, huh?" Ask Usopp.

"Yes!" Luffy said with a smile.

"We really owe you. We're going back to our jobs as bounty hunters!" Said my son who was on the ground.

"From here we'll be apart, but we can look forward to seeing you again!" Said Johnny beside Yosaku.

They're posing as cool, cool men.

"Take care of yourself!" Zoro.

"Thank you, Johnny, my yos for everything you've done for us, may we meet again." Tanaka.

Once all supplies are completely on board, the Going Merry is ready to sail.

"All right, we have to go!" Usopp.

"Hey wait, what about Nami?!" Ask Sanji.

"He didn't come, did he?" Ask Zoro.

"Huh, why not?! Again you don't count Nami as our member." Accuse Sanji while bringing his head closer to Zoro and pushing him.

"Why would I do that?" Ask Zoro who doesn't want to lose.

"Oh yeah, he's got what he wants. There was no reason for him to become a pirate. Wouldn't he be happier here?" Usopp.

"Then what about my happiness?! If Nami-san doesn't board this ship, I'll lose my happiness!" Sanji Strictly.

Tanaka agrees with Sanji because sailing in a boat containing men all does not make happy.

"There is at least one beautiful flower that is good to look at." Think Tanaka.

Moments later, Tanaka sees Nami.

"Develop screen!" Nami asked and ran towards us.

"What's this?" Ask Usopp.

"He said develop the screen?; we'll do it." Luffy.

Zoro immediately pulled the rope connected to the anchor and Tanaka opened the main screen bond so that it expanded due to the wind.

The villagers of Cocoyashi tried to stop Nami because they wanted to give her farewell and also thanked Nami for her struggle for them for 8 years.

"Hey, is it okay to leave it like that?" Ask Sanji.

"Not what, is it? He wants it himself." Answer Luffy.

Nami kept running and then jumped onto the ship safely.

He showed his loot as it passed through the villagers. This of course made them all surprised and checked their respective pockets.

"Everyone, take care of yourself, yeah!" Nami.

"The thief, give us back our money !" Say them all with anger.

"Hey, he hasn't changed at all." Usopp.

"We don't know when he'll betray again." Zoro.

"Nami, great!" Said Sanji while giving Nami a thumbs up.

Tanaka smiled at Nami, while Luffy laughed.

"See you all! I'm leaving!" Nami.
