One Piece: Unreal Adventure-Chapter 78: I will protect my crew

"I will protect my crew... Nami please take your new friends and leave..." Hatchan said, grabbing his six swords. Arlong and the rest of Fishman looked Hatchan with pissed expressions. Why was one of them giving a chance to a human? "I'll convince the crew and Arlong the leave the village... but please don't..." Now they were more pissed because Hatchan actually thought they would lose to humans. And he was begging for them, rather then the other way around.

Arlong was the most angry out of them all and punched Hatchan at the side of the head, making him smash into the boundary wall. "What are you saying, bastard... We Fishman will never beg in front of humans. Did you forget how those humans killed Fisher Tiger..."

"Really?" Luffy shook his head a bit disappointed. "Don't you see the irony of the situation? You guys are no better than the World Nobles Fisher Tiger fought against... Your superiority complex can only rival those fools living on top of the red line."

"What would you know?" Kuroobi barked, with gritted teeth. He was furious about being compared to those human pigs.

"What? Hit a nerve, didn't I?" Luffy said, smirking, "What you gonna do, cry about it. I don't want to teach moral lessons to dead fishes anyways." Luffy said, "Usopp, shot Hatchan out of the battle. Put him to sleep."

"What me?" Usopp stumbled, before standing up straight with a puffed chest. "Of course, me." And he quick drew his revolvers and shot Hatchan. The Fishman were surprised they couldn't even react with how quickly Usopp drew his weapons. Well, Sparky was teaching him the art of quick draw.

Two shots and the Hatchan the Fishman was down for the count. Though he might have a broken skull from those shots. Fishmen were tougher than man, that's why Usopp had to shoot both shots at the same place, but it seems Arlong's last attack softened up Hatchan's head a bit.

Coby and Usopp winched a bit, but they hardened their resolve. The rest of the crew didn't react much, but Nami felt a bit sad. They won't kill all the fishman, but they would be beat each one of them to an inch near death.

Arlong and his crew might have hated the humans, but they rarely killed, mostly being happy as long as they got their money. Only a few Fishman, mostly Arlong did the killing.

Luffy made sure to list them out. Not all of them deserved to die, but few of them did. And they would die today.

It made Coby see Luffy in a new light. He had seen Luffy kill before, but all of the times he thought it wasn't needed. But now he thought otherwise.

Heroes are there to not only protect people from monsters but also slay the monsters. Be them, Man, Fishman, Pirates or even Marines. Putting the criminals only in prison doesn't work... the marines are not only sloppy, but they were downright useless.

It was even more evident when staying in Baratie, they heard the news of Captain Kuro escaping imprisonment. One might ask how did they find it out in the restaurant.

Well, while they stopped at Baratie for the six days. In one particular day, a marine vessel came to the restaurant to eat, and they were discussing how Kuro escaped before he could be taken to Impale Down.

It also made Coby see the reality of things, Kuro might go on and kill more people, just because he wasn't stopped there. That day, Luffy would have killed Kuro, if not for Kaya.

Showing mercy, and pity to some people were was just as important as finishing off a few people who needed to be put down. That was the justice Coby wanted to follow. And Luffy was doing it, even without knowing it.

Usopp was also a bit afraid now that Captain Kuro was on the lose. He might seek revenge and attack Kaya. But Luffy promised to stop the pirate before going to the grandline. Actually, after finishing of here, they were going to do just that... Which was double work.

And in a way, it also taught all members of the crew that showing mercy to your opponents might bite you later.

"What are you guys waiting for attack them!" Arlong screamed as he told the rest of his crew. He had his saw blade in his hand. Kiribachi.

"You know the drill guys..." Luffy said, looking at the Fishman that ran towards them. "Give em hell." With that, he backed of a few steps as his crew mates charged forward.

"Let's start the shit show," Sanji said, losing his tie, and walking in front. He was itching to kick some Fishman today. With what the Fishman was doing, it reminded Sanji of his siblings... and he didn't like it one bit. Also, he didn't like Arlong especially, because of him killing Nami and Nojiko's mother. He knew the pain of losing one's mother... this whole ordeal was hitting home for him. And not in a good way.

"Don't get ahead of yourself, love cook," Zoro smirked, before rolling up his sleeves. He still didn't have any replacement swords after his got destroyed while fighting Mihawk. He cracked his knuckles, "I really miss my swords."

"Don't worry swordsman, we can buy it when we go to log town," Gin said, while keeping his special tonfa on his side. "For now, pick up replacables..."

"Eyes on the price boys," Kuina said, unsheathing her sword. She looked quite elegant in her white Kimono and her white sword. But she gave of an aura of danger to them.

"The great sniper Usopp will take the high ground! Coby cover me!" Usopp said running till he reached the smashed gates and took cover.

"I will need to take a bath after this," Coby said with a hesitant laugh, trying to joke a bit. He wasn't liking all the blood he needed to clean up from his clothes these days. Even though most of the blood wasn't his... Well, he was glad that most of the blood wasn't his.

But he didn't know if that was a good thing or a bad thing.

Coby sighed, in fights... well, in the last two times he fought against pirates... Coby actually did accidentally killed a few pirates. Which were unintentional, but this time, Luffy made picked out a few fishmen that needed to be killed. So, the boy was reading himself for what he needed to do.

Killing with intention was quite hard, but he needed to do it.

Coby believed that Luffy wasn't a man who would kill because of amusement. But Nami suffered eight years amongst these monsters. They deserved what was coming.
