One Piece: Unreal Adventure-Chapter 83: Like we would believe a marine…

Just after the fight with Arlong, the villagers came to Arlong Park with whatever they had on hand. Pitchforks, knives, shovels... It seemed Nojiko wasn't able to convince the villagers that they were in the safe hands of the straw hat pirates.

They had gathered to finally stand up against the Fishman pirates. But when they came it was all over, some couldn't even believe it... but then a few villagers recognized Luffy as being Mario and cheered for his victory. Totally forgetting that he called himself a pirate beforehand.

Luffy on the other hand became depressed enough to not retort them. Drawing circles on the ground. Nami and the others didn't even bother and went along with the celebration.

Of course, that was, after tying all the alive Fishman so that none of them would try to escape. They had enough Fishman for the rest of their lives.

And now that all the celebration was done, Luffy went back to check back on Zoro and the ship.

Coby and Usopp tagged along with him. While Gin and Sanji was helping the village prepare for the celebration. Kuina went on her own way to train a bit, to work on a few moves.

When Luffy reached Zoro's location he could see him fighting all out with Sparky. He seemed to be on the loosing end, but the man was presenting... they were working on making flying slashes now that Zoro knew how to cut steel.

Flying slashes required the sword to be vibrating in a certain frequency that was similar to cutting steel. A master swordsman could send flying slashes without creating any sounds... contrary to popular beliefs, it's not the wind pressure that created wind slashes. But the frequency made the air pressure required enough to use wind slashes.

Now Zoro was using Sparky's mastery over the tempest kicks to learn about flying slashes. Luffy had no doubt that Zoro would be able to master that as well.

In his opinion, Zoro should also learn Seimei Kikan to how to use his muscles properly. Hmm... the next time when all of his crew was on board he would introduce all of them to the rokushiki techniques. That would bolster their strength. Though they would need to hide the techniques in front of marines if they didn't want any trouble...

Seeing Zoro and Sparky duke it out also encouraged Coby and Usopp. They all wanted to grow stronger to accomplish their dreams. Not wanting to disturb both Zoro and Sparky the trio left them, before going towards where the Going Marry was.

But Nojiko came running to them... "Luffy it's the ship..."

.

The group of Luffy, Nojiko, Coby and Usopp rushed towards the Going Marry and found Johnny and Yosaku looked a bit injured. They had bullet wounds on them... still fresh.

Luffy was a bit pissed, looking at the bullet wounds on Johnny and Yosaku's body. "What happened to you?" he didn't like seeing his friends injured. Also, he was annoyed that someone attacked their ship which was still at the middle of the jungle far away from the shore.

"Marines." Jhonny said, "But we captured them big bro." He said, winching from the throbbing bullet pain. The wounds were still bleeding out...

Coby said worriedly. "We should patch up those wounds... the village has some doctors who can look at this stuff, professionally."

"Nah, don't worry about us." Yosaku said, flexing his biceps winching from the wound on his shoulder. "Ow..."

"Coby bring them to the doctors..." Luffy sighed, "So, where are they?"

Jonny pointed at the back of the ship where three marines were tied up broken and beaten. And Luffy recognized one of them from the series.

"Well, if it isn't Captain Nezumi of the Marines," Luffy said, slapping the man awake. "Now, tell me why did you do it?"

"I'm sorry, but Captain Kuro was scary and threatened me... so I had to let him escape." Nezumi blurred out, his face was swollen and it seemed that he couldn't see clearly because of the wounds. And he seemed to still be dazed.

"Not that answer I was looking for..." Luffy mumbled dumbfoundedly.

"You did what?" Usopp said, grabbing the marine by the collar. "You let that monster escape after we did all the work on beating him up."

"Uh... I'm sorry. I promise I didn't take a bribe to set him free... Okay, maybe I did take some money, but hey, I know where he might be... but let's cut a deal. And I will share half of what he gave me..." Nezumi said... finally snapping out of daze. "Hey, who are you guys? I will have you know I'm an honored marine..."

But he was cut off by a punch by Usopp, knocking him out. Wow, the training really did build up his strength. The boy seemed to be pissed... "Luffy, we have to get to Captian Kuro before he can harm anyone else." he was also worried that Kuro might attack Kaya later. He should have finished him there...

Coby also gritted his teeth. This was why he gave up his dream of becoming a marine.

"Hey, I recognized that rat..." Nojiko was the one to speak.

"Of course, you would..." Another marine spoke, he also seemed to be awake. "Before I got entangled in this shit... I was in charge here to investigate him and the 16th Branch in the East Blue... he's not only been working with pirates like Kuro, Alvida, and corrupt captain Morgan... he's also the reason Arlong was able to stay out of the marine's radar for years. I'm ashamed to say it as a fellow marine."

By his clothes, the man looked like Nezumi's coronaries. But the honesty in his voice and his determination said otherwise.

"And who might you be?" Luffy asked. "Another marine one Arlong's pay list."

"Never! I'm a marine investigator, came here to investigate under the orders of Captain Smoker..." he said. "But it seems that I'm stuck here... with this little shit. You are the hero Mario, are you not?"

Luffy was about the refuse the claim, but wisely kept shut and let the marine continue. One look at the Gong Marry's flag and all doubt would be cleared, but... Nami had pulled the flag of the previous night, not wanting the villagers to accidentally attack the ship. So, it just looked like an ordinary merchant vessel.

"We are sorry... and I'm especially sorry that the crook Nezumi here tried to loot your ship. I tried to stop him, but I'm a rank below him... so I couldn't do anything." he said, "Please untie us... we will take our leave. Nezumi here will face justice after I bring him to Captain Smoker."

"Like we would believe a marine..." But Usopp was cut off.

"Oh, yeah, thanks for saving me back then," Jhonny said cutting off. And looking at Luffy, "Big bro... he saved me from one of the gunshots that would have ended me... I don't think he's lying."

"Well, you have my thanks." Luffy said, before looking at Jhonny and Yosaku, "Then why did you tie him up?"

"We just wanted to be careful." Both of them said. Well, that was smart of them at least.
