Chapter 69: Invade
Luffy, Zoro, Sanji and Usopp were all walking side by side to Arlong Park. They all had serious faces plastered on them.
Even Usopp, who would usually be nervous in situations like these, wasn't feeling any feat at all. Maybe it's because he has his friends by his side, maybe he's just manned up a little.
But the most serious face by far within the group was Luffy. Zoro felt excited for some reason, maybe it's because she might be able to see more of her captain's power against Arlong.

"Hey? Are you okay? Have you been beaten up by Arlong?"
"Excuse us, we have some business with the Fishmen. "
Johnny and Yosaku were leaning against the entrance to Arlong Park. Their swords were crossed and leaning against the door too.
" We challenged them to a fight because we misunderstood Nami-aneki. We were very close to winning. " Johnny replied while crossing his arms.
" We have misunderstood her, after we learned the truth, we cannot face her." Yosaku added.
" Sorry, but we can't let you people who have no chance to win to pass this gate. " Johnny apologized.
" What?! " The villagers were all shocked.
" We are waiting for a group of people who will be here at any minute now. " Yosaku revealed.
" A group of people? Sure you don't mean.... " Nojiko widened her eyes in surprise.
" You know what he's saying, Nojiko?" Genzo asked. Nojiko nodded.
"Mhm. They're actually pirates. I met them and told them of Nami's backstory. And I can confidently say this, they're one hell of a crew. Their captain, is the bravest guy I've ever seen in my life. " Nojiko explained. Genzo snorted.
" Sounds like you got yourself a crush there, Nojiko. " Genzo teased her with a serious face. Nojiko blushed a little. There was then chatter amongst the group of villagers.
Genzo and Nojiko turned around and saw Luffy, Zoro, Sanji and Usopp walking past the group who stepped aside to let them through.
Luffy nodded at Johnny and Yosaku who grabbed their respective swords and stepped aside.
Luffy looked at the giant door right in front of him. He then pulled back his fist and punched it.
On the other side of the door, Arlong was sitting there with a scowl on his face when suddenly a giant shockwave shook the ground.
*BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMM!!!!!!!*
The giant door was blasted back and the walls were destroyed. Arlong scowled at Luffy who walked in Arlong Park with a no nonsense expression on him.
"Which one of you is Arlong?" Luffy asked seriously.
"That's me, what do you want? " Arlong asked impatiently.
"I'm Monkey D Luffy. " Luffy introduced himself.
"Oh, you are Luffy. Who are you anyway?" Arlong asked again.
"A pirate." Luffy answered simply. Two Fishmen tried to stop Luffy from approaching Arlong.
"Woah there, you ain't going nowhere!"
"You would have to deal with us before talking to him! "
" You're not stopping— GUK!! "
The Fishmen widened their eyes as they were grabbed by the throat and held up to the air. Luffy gritted his teeth and twisted his arms, snapping their necks.
*CRACK!!*
Luffy threw them away and continued walking towards Arlong. Arlong was in shock.
"What does a pirate need from me?" Arlong asked. Suddenly, Luffy appeared in front of him.
*BAAAAANG!!!!!*
Arlong's blood splashed out from his mouth and nose as he flew away and crashed through the stone wall behind him.
Luffy glared menacingly at Arlong. "Don't you dare make my navigator cry!!!" Luffy declared.
" You crossed the line now!! "
The Fishmen all rushed towards Luffy who only looked at them.
"Santōryū: Hyakuhachi Pound Ho!!!"
*FWWWOOOOOOOOOM!!!!!*
Three blue colored giant air compressed projectiles spiralled towards them. It engulfed the Fishmen completely, killing them.
"Don't take all of the credit for yourself, Luffy." Zoro grinned at him. Luffy looked at hum.
"Zoro, Sanji, Usopp. You three deal with his Senior Officers. Arlong's my target." Luffy ordered them. The trio nodded and rushed towards Arlong's Senior Officers.
Luffy looked at Arlong who got up. Suddenly, a giant shadow towered over them. He looked to see it was Momoo.
He had a large bump on his head and looked like he was about to cry. Luffy gritted his teeth and used Soru the ground appeared beside Momoo.
He grabbed Momoo's horns with his hands and flipped in the air. He easily picked Momoo up and threw him away.
"MOOOOOOOOOooooooooooo!!!" Momoo cried as he was sent flying away. Luffy landed back on the ground and looked at Arlong who was gritting his teeth and scowling at him.
The villagers were all looking at Luffy with awe in their eyes. Nami whose arm was bandaged up was looking at Luffy. She still had his straw hat on her head.
Luffy appeared in front of Arlong who was already up. He stretched his right arm back.
"Gomu Gomu no..."
"BULLET!!!"
*BOOOM!!!*
Luffy slammed his stretched arm straight into Arlong's solar plexus. Arlong flew back but Luffy caught him by stretching out his left arm to wrap it around him.
He pulled Arlong back. Arlong was now flying towards him. Luffy smirked and stretched his right arm back again. "Gomu Gomu no....."
"PISTOL!!!!*
*BAAAM!!!!*
Luffy slammed his fist into Arlong's face. Arlong tumbled on the ground. He growled and stood up, uninjured.
"Now, my warm up is complete." Luffy whispered. Arlong growled in anger and charged towards Luffy.
He opened his mouth and attempted to bite Luffy. Luffy dodged all of his bite attempts easily.
*BOOOM!!!!!*
Luffy suddenly appeared in front of Arlong and punched his teeth. Arlong's teeth shattered and were completely destroyed by his punch.
Arlong laughed loudly. His teeth suddenly regenerated, surprising Luffy. "Saw Fish can always regrow their teeth, and these new teeth are stronger than the old ones!" Arlong declared.
"That doesn't increase your chances at all. You would only get defeated faster. " Luffy replied, angering Arlong.
Arlong suddenly pulled out his teeth. It then grew back immediately and he pulled it out again. He now had two sets of his own sharp teeth as his weapons. They were like hand held bear traps.
"No matter how many times it is and no matter when! That is the gift that Heaven gave us! So, do you understand how great Fishmen are? " Arlong smirked at Luffy. He then charged at him.
" Killing Teeth!!" Arlong made the teeth open wide. Luffy grabbed it and crushed it instantly. He then punched Arlong repeatedly in the solar plexus.
*BOOOM!!!*
Luffy grabbed Arlong who was about to fly away and threw him into the pool. He then suddenly jumped away as someone was sent flying his way. It was one of Arlong's Senior Officers, Kurobi.
"Oi! Sanji! Are you trying to kill me or something?" Luffy shouted at him. Sanji grinned sheepishly and scratched his head.
"Sorry, Luffy. Can't aim where they'll fly." He apologized. Luffy sighed.
" Shark on Darts!!! " Arlong shot himself out of the water towards Luffy like a torpedo.
"Too slow." Luffy whispered and grabbed Arlong by the nose.
He threw Arlong away and into the building. Arlong slammed into it, creating a large hole in the building.
"Shark on Darts!!!"
Arlong shot through the roof and towards Luffy again. Luffy narrowed his eyes. "Gomu Gomu no....."
Luffy entwined his fingers making a net like shape and then stretched out his fingers making a larger net.
"NET!!!"
The net trapped Arlong, stopping his momentum. Luffy threw Arlong back to the ground. "The fisherman casts his net, followed by..... Gomu Gomu no....."
Luffy held his feet together with the bottoms of each touching each other.
"SPEAR!!!!!"
He kicked with both simultaneously via his toes, giving off the image of an actual spearhead.
The attack slammed into Arlong who was laying on the ground, creating a crater under his body.
*BOOOOOOOOMMMM!!!!!*
"Aggh!!!" Arlong spat out a large amount of blood violently. Luffy was staring at Arlong.
Arlong's eyes suddenly became like those of an angry shark. He got up immediately and grabbed Luffy.
"You're just a puny human!!! But you dare to fight a Fishman like me!!??"
