Well folks, time for crap to officially hit the fan... For Arlong. We all know how this song and dance goes and the schadenfreude is always delicious!
Chapter 11: Arlong Park
For once, the mood was entirely serious aboard the Harem Pirates' ships. They were hours away from arriving on the Conomi Islands, Nami's home and currently the territory of the Arlong Pirates. The most notorious crew in all the East Blue, with its captain wanted for a massive (for the region) bounty of twenty million beris.
Luffy stood at the bow of the Lothario, his eyes fixed squarely on the open sea. The rest of his crew were rigorously training. Sparring matches, target practice, Haki lessons, checking all of the ship's cannons were cleaned and stocked. For once, sex was the last thing on his mind.
Next to him was Nami, the navigator's hand intertwined with his. She stood in her full beauty, almost seven feet tall now with her orange hair spilled past her shoulders.
"No matter what happens, I can't tell you how much you've done for me," she assured him, "I spent so long convinced that Arlong was unbeatable. You gave me real hope after so long…"
His hand moved up to her shoulder, a hand she knew could shatter stone or summon demonic power in an instant. And yet his fingers curled so gently that it only brought her comfort.
"I promised you that I'll stop him. And I never go back on my word. That bastard's day has come."
He shared a brief but tender kiss with Nami, her standing on tiptoes to reach his lips with a sweet moan. She then gathered the entire crew on the Lothario, leaving Luffy standing over his entire crew. He had to fight down his erection from the sight of all FORTY of his lovers all gathered in front of him.
"By this tomorrow, we will arrive on the Conomi Islands and Arlong Park. Before, we've had enemy crews come after us. Then, we defended ourselves and the people living there. Now, we go on the attack. If you see a fishman, you kill him. The only exception is Arlong himself. I'll be personally paying him back for all the abuse he's put on Nami."
A roar of approval came from the legion of women, all of them swearing by a simple rule: You mess with one of them, you mess with the entire crew.
The only minor hiccup with the plan was how they had to approach the island via rowboats. Fishmen could breathe underwater and were given orders to not let any unknown ship approach their territory. Those that tried were sunk by the Arlong Pirates from beneath, creating whirlpools by manipulating the currents or simply breaking the boat's keel.
The rowboats all landed on different points of the island, with the girls told to rendezvous at the tangerine farm owned by Nami's family. The navigator herself would head to Arlong Park to conveniently let Arlong know that she was ninety percent of the way to buying her village as they agreed eight years ago.
Luffy, in the meantime, was sent to go to Cocoyashi itself and make sure nobody tried anything before the plan got underway. The village was a single avenue of houses and shops, but he could feel the tension. Everyone spoke in hushed whispers or remained locked inside their homes. The young man could see the pagoda in the distance, the flag of the Arlong Pirates fluttering in the distance.
His fist curled on instinct. As much as he wanted to blow the entire place up, he needed to make sure the fishmen wouldn't take their wrath out on the people here.
"You shouldn't be here."
Luffy turned and looked down to see a woman with her arms crossed staring at him. Between the short, blue hair, slightly tanned complexion and dark blue tattoo covering her left shoulder, he knew this was Nami's older sister.
"Yeah? And why's that?"
"Because this island isn't for tourists. Now get out of here if you value your life."
"HEY! Who are you?!"
Luffy turned just as one of the fishmen, this one with the traits of a basking shark with mottled blue skin, marched up to him with an angry glare on his face. "I don't recall seeing you at any of the ports!"
"Sorry, my boat washed ashore here and I came to the nearest town I could see."
"Really? You look pretty good for someone who came from a shipwreck. You're coming with me, smartass!"
The fishman tried to grab Luffy's arm only for the incubus to respond with an uppercut that sent the basking shark-man flying several stories in the air, to the complete amazement of everyone in Cocoyashi. When the fishman slammed back down several feet away, both his legs were clearly broken as he tried to get up.
"What… the fuck?!" he grumbled through a shattered jaw.
"Heh, nice try. Now how about you do me a favor…?" Luffy aimed a finger gun at the fallen fishman, the end glowing purple, "…And keep quiet about this."
The Hell Bullet fired right into the other pirate's torso, splattering entrails all over the ground as a massive hole was blown in it. Now the entire population of Cocoyashi, plus Nami's sister, were staring at Luffy as if he just snuffed out the sun.
"Eh, sorry about the mess. I'll take care of it!" Luffy just chucked the remaining body parts far into the ocean, throwing them with enough force to send them flying hundreds of miles away. Now a circle of people were surrounding him, with Nami's sister and an older man dressed in a brown uniform with a pinwheel attached to his hat hurriedly wiping up the mess on the ground.
"Who are you?!" the man asked, "Did the Marines send you?!"
"Nah, I'm a pirate who's here to take out Arlong. Nami told me all about what's been happening here."
"Bullshit! My sister would never bring some random-!"
"Nojiko is your name, right? She also told me all about you and Belle-Mere. I promised her that you'd never have to worry about him hurting your mother again."
The woman took in a sharp breath. She didn't know why she was protesting. If this guy could punch a fishman into the sky, then fire some kind of energy blast to kill him in a second then beating Arlong wouldn't be that much harder. It was just instinct at this point to assume no one could beat the fishmen.
"So, how about you show me to your place?" Luffy asked. Nojiko, once she was done wiping out the fishman blood, blankly nodded and led the man along a side path away from Cocoyashi and towards the tangerine farm. As Nojiko went to throw away the red-stained cloth, someone else walked up.
"Well, you must be the guy who made a fishman fly! Anyone who can pull that off is welcome in my orchard!"
Though standing over a foot shorter than him and with one arm hidden beneath a poncho despite the heat, she seemed entirely confident. With maroon hair mostly shaved down except for a strip down the middle leading to a ponytail, a teal plaid shirt and jeans that had clearly seen wear and tear, and an unlit cigarette dangling from her lips, this was clearly Nami and Nojiko's adopted mother Belle-Mere.
"So, what brings a strapping young man like you here?"
"M-Mom!" Nojiko stammered, "You won't believe it, he killed that fishman! W-With some freaky energy he launched out of his finger!"
"Oh, Devil Fruit, huh? Definitely a powerful one if it let you do that… Can't think of anyone besides Kizaru who could pull that off."
"Luffyyyyyyy! There you are!"
Everyone turned to see Nami skipping up the path to the tangerine grove. Her sister and mother balked at seeing just how cheerful she was. The orange-haired youngling of the family was practically beaming as she ran over, completely unlike how serious and brooding she usually was after meeting her "captain" Arlong.
Their surprise turned to shock when she leapt into Luffy's arms, wrapping her legs around his waist and hotly kissing him. They could only blush as they saw her grinding her pussy into the prominent bulge of his cock.
"Nami?! What's gotten into you?!"
"Oi, I didn't raise you to be a slut!"
"Oh, sorry! I'm just so excited!" Nami said, completely shameless, "Anyway, everything is all set! I'll go get the box!"
Nami then led him into the orchard before digging up a patch of land between the many rows of trees. Just beneath the surface was a ten-foot long box filled with wadded up beris and precious jewels. Nojiko and Belle-Mere almost fainted when Luffy took the box and teleported away along with everything inside.
"Nami, are you insane?!" Belle-Mere shouted, "That was all the cash you were gonna use to buy off Arlong! Why'd you give it to some random guy?!"
"He's no random guy, Mom! He's my master, and I need the box for today's plan so he's just dropping off the money on his ship!"
"Yep!" Nojiko and Belle-Mere flinched as Luffy appeared behind them, the box now empty, "Trust me, Arlong and his crew won't be a problem ever again! Oh, speaking of which…"
Luffy sent another pulse of violet energy. Nojiko screamed as it flew into Belle-Mere, thinking she'd be blown to smithereens. Instead, the former Marine felt her entire body grow younger. Her unshaved hair looked fuller, the slight tinge of yellow from years of smoking disappeared from her eyes and teeth, and the faint wrinkles forming on her face vanished.
"There, all better! Now let's see that arm of yours."
Belle-Mere was about to yell only to find she could feel said arm again, the one that Arlong had left a broken, mangled mess as "punishment" for her standing up to him when he arrived. She removed the poncho to reveal the limb was just as healthy as it was before.
"H-How…? You… But your Devil Fruit…"
"It's a long story, but Master here can restore a woman's body to peak shape! It's how I got rid of that horrible tattoo Arlong gave me, see?" Nami turned to reveal her bare shoulder.
Before they could ask any questions, Luffy's crew started filing in. Groups of three or four ladies, all carrying the heads of fishmen. They watched as they filled the money box with the decapitated heads, around twenty or so by the end, all the while calling Luffy "master" and then standing around the orchard waiting for the others.
The last group, Banchina, Leonora and Alice, had one surprising piece of news. They didn't encounter any fishmen, but they did find an entire platoon of Marines marching towards the tangerine grove. Nami and her family were immediately confused. Why would they be coming here instead of Arlong Park?
They understood as soon as the leader of the group showed his face, sneering like a rat. Fitting, considering his uniform was modified to have mouse ears on the cap and the entire ensemble was a light grey instead of white. Coupled with the whiskers coming from his bearded face, this sailor looked far shadier than many pirates.
"Good afternoon, I am Captain Nezumi of Marine Branch 16. We've received information from a concerned local about pilfered goods being kept on this property. Tell me, does anyone here know of someone named 'Nami?'"
The redhead immediately flinched. Belle-Mere just crossed her arms (thankful she could finally do that again) and scowled, "That depends. Why is this your concern?"
"Well, as you know, thievery is generally frowned upon. And we've received word that this Nami has quite the sticky fingers! But thankfully, it seemed she restricted herself to stealing from pirates so no action will be taken against her but-!"
"You want her money, don't you?"
Nezumi scowled as Luffy walked up, standing behind Nami and her family as the redhead was looking squarely at the ground. Nojiko and Belle-Mere stood on either side, glaring at the captain and his merry men.
"Young man, I'd recommend you stay out of this official Marine business. You wouldn't want to be charged as an accomplice to this criminal, would you?"
"You're one to talk!" Alvida cried, "There's a wanted pirate based on this island! Stop wasting your time and go arrest him!"
"S-Sir! That's Iron Club Alvida! She's wanted for five million beris!"
Nezumi's smirk seemed to grow, redirecting his gaze on Nami. "Miss, associating with wanted criminals! Goodness, is this turning into a pickpocket ring?"
"Shut up!" Banchina yelled, "This young girl has been fighting to protect her home, far more than you clearly are! Leave her alone!"
The rest of the Harem Pirates cried in support, making Nami raise her head and smile as her crew. Luffy moved in front, a supportive gleam in his eye before turning to Nezumi.
"You heard them. As a Marine, you've got a much bigger fish to fry in Arlong than some small-time thief."
"Silence! Men, arrest this hooligan and find the stolen money!"
"Well, there goes diplomacy! Ladies, get them!"
The captain stood aside as his officers, around forty, charged with their rifles and swords. Nojiko and Belle-Mere ran inside their home as the Harem Pirates rushed ahead to meet the men in white.
Luffy wished he could have captured the look on the rat-bastard's face as he watched each of his men getting outclassed. One by one they fell, most still alive but with gaping slashes or bullet wounds. The moment Luffy started walking towards him, even as the last of his men pointed guns at him, Nezumi's pistol shook like a leaf in his grasp.
"W-W-Wait! Let's not do a-anything hasty!"
"Too late, asshole. Now start talking. Who sent you here?"
"W-What are you talking about?! I-I'm-!"
"Just doing your job? On an island that's been occupied by pirates for almost a decade and yet you completely skip over them to get some girl's spare money?"
"I-It's not just spare money! It's almost a hundred million beris! S-Surely, you'd know that that's-"
"And how would you know that?" Nami pointed out, "I haven't said a word about how much it was!"
"You bastard, you're working for Arlong!" Belle-Mere yelled, "Nami just came from there before you showed up!"
Before the ratty captain could deny anything, Luffy grabbed ahold of Nezumi's hand holding the pistol and squeezed. The Marine screamed as his bones were crushed along with his sidearm, the metal and wood being compressed into his broken hand. Even as blood spurted froth from between Luffy's fingers, he didn't relent.
"Okay, okay, I confess! It was Arlong, he's being paying me off for years! A-And he said if I got your money, I'd get a thirty percent cut!"
Only then did Luffy release Nezumi's hand, now a bloody, mangled wreck, before turning to his crew.
"Ladies, change of plans. I was going to have you all storm Arlong Park while I deal with the fishman personally but now you have something more important. You're going to Marine Branch 16, steal every last beri they have, and kill every last snake of a Marine who's gone along with this. Understood?"
As one, the many ladies under his flag saluted. "YES, MASTER!"
"Nami, you round up everyone at Cocoyashi. Tell them Arlong dies today, and they'll want a front row seat."
"Y-You idiot…" one Marine on the ground muttered, "Arlong's gonna fucking kill you all… No one can-!"
That was that particular sailor's last words before Yomi's giant claymore decapitated him. The rest of the Marines on the ground followed suit, being shot or stabbed through the head to make absolutely sure they were dead. Nezumi watched in horror as his own pawnsmen were offed right in front of him.
When Videl grabbed him and slung him over her shoulder, the captain screamed like a baby until Erasa's gun touched his temple.
"Quiet! You're being saved for last. You're going to experience exactly what you almost did to Nami, you bastard. You're going to lose all your money, watch everyone you cared about die, and THEN you'll get your turn."
"Well said," Luffy nodded, "I'll get rid of the bodies later. Nojiko, Belle-Mere, go with Nami and spread the good news if you want."
Considering they just watched his crew decimate an entire platoon of Marines, on top of the dozen or so fishmen, they complied and went down to Cocoyashi along with Nami.
Soon, Makino was leading all but one of her sisters in arms away from the villages and up to the gates of Marine Branch 16. They all noticed the building had the same rat ears as Nezumi's hat, another sign of just how vain and selfish the captain was.
As soon as they arrived outside the base, dozens of men pointed rifles at them. What they assumed was Nezumi's second-in-command stepped forward. "You all better have a good reason for assaulting our captain. Where is the rest of the platoon?"
"Dead, just like you'll be," Lucy growled, "Move aside and maybe we'll make this quick."
"Psah! I don't know who you all think you are but prepared to be punished to the fullest extent of the law! Men, open fire!"
Olive rushed in between the line of bullets and the rest of her crew, using the power of her Back-Back Fruit to send the dozens of shots back to sender. As the Marines scattered in panic, the Harem Pirates yelled in unison as they charged ahead. A few tried to run back inside the base only to be shot in the back before Dadan smashed the doors down and leading the crew into the base.
It turns out Nezumi simply hoarded all of the bribes he'd collected over the years. Boxes stuffed with beris were laying out in supply closets, drawers were filled wads, and Nezumi's own office was literally filled from floor to ceiling with cash. The Harem Pirates happily grabbed up every ounce of it, hauling it outside right in front of Nezumi who could only watch in horror as his life's work was destroyed.
His Marines were also an absolute joke, clearly used to just looking intimidating instead of doing any actual fighting. Half of them were unarmed! The only exception was when they ran across a pair knocking on a locked door.
"Miss Trepe, you have to evacuate, the base is under attack!" one of them screamed. The door suddenly opened only for that same man to get a bullet between the eyes. Before his compatriot could yell, Sally shot him and peeked inside.
Calmly packing up her few belongings was a woman about five foot eight, a pair of black glasses perched on her face. Her dark blonde hair was tied up in a very short fringe with two long plaits framing her mature, graceful face. Rather than even dress in uniform, she was in an orange sundress with boots visible underneath.
"Hello there, you must be the ones ransacking this place," she said calmly, "My name is Quistis Trepe, a Marine drill instructor who tried to blow the whistle on this place until Nezumi set up an 'accident' that got me demoted. Tell me, would you mind if I assist you?"
The former queen just blinked before nodding, also noticing the black leather whip attached to the woman's side. From there, Quistis showed no remorse in firing at or slashing down her supposed comrades, growling at one how Nezumi ruined her career and then left her here to either serve as a desk jockey or take her chances with the fishmen.
By the time they reached the entrance, both carrying sacks full of cash, Nezumi was lying on the ground staring at the hundreds of millions of beris he'd illicitly earned over Arlong's reign.
"Yo-You think you can get away with this?!" the captain cried, even as Zora held a katana to his neck, "Arlong will crush you all! And if he doesn't, then there's a hundred other pirates who will! And when the World Government turns its sights on your precious captain, they'll-!"
He was cut off by the entire island shaking, as if an earthquake was running its course. Then he saw a massive plume of purple energy race into the sky followed by a massive roar that didn't sound like any Sea King he'd heard of.
"W-What in the world is that?!" Quistis panicked, hands on her whip only to notice all of the other women were staring in awe.
"That is our Master…" Haruka breathed, "The most powerful man in the East Blue. It seems he's finally going all-out against Arlong."
"Master? Don't you mean Captain?"
"Wrong," Homura shook her head, "He is not just our leader. He is our owner, mind, body and soul. He's granted us so much that it's only fair we serve him for all time."
"We shall aid him in all his endeavors," Makino said, holding her shotgun to Nezumi's chest, "He shall be King of the Pirates as the Harem Pirates grow into the hundreds, then into the thousands as all the world's women will serve his glory."
Those were the last words Captain Nezumi heard before his brains were blown out, dying alone and without a beri to his name. The only reason they didn't throw him to the Navy was because the Harem Pirates didn't need that kind of attention right now.
"Thank you all very much for shutting this base down," Quistis bowed, the epitome of grace, "I'd have called in myself but you can imagine that rat closely monitored everything going in and out. Now then, since I don't exactly have anywhere else to go…"
"Of course you can join us!" Sanju cheered, "Another super-hot girl for Master! Come on, let's go see how he's handling that overgrown shark!"
Hearing just how supremely confident she was, Quistis felt her curiosity pique. Just who was this man, and how did he get this many ladies to follow him?
Arlong the Saw, the most wanted pirate in the East Blue, sat on his throne near the entrance of Arlong Park with a curious glare. One of his men stationed in Cocoyashi had yet to return when he was supposed to. He was tempted to see for himself when he noticed a crowd of people gathering in front of the park. In the lead was Nami, looking far too happy for his liking and wearing a straw hat for some reason, and a half-naked man he'd never seen before.
"Arlong, good news! I've got your payment ready!" Nami cheered. The Arlong Pirates, about forty or so of them scattered around the plaza, all glanced at one another. Wasn't that stupid captain supposed to have confiscated her cash by now?
Before he could question that same thing, the stranger dropped a large wooden box and slid it across the ground in front of him. Arlong shrugged to himself and opened the lid only to recoil in horror. Inside was not the money Nami promised him, but the bloody heads of almost two dozen of his crew.
"NAMIIIIIIIIII! IS THIS SOME SICK JOKE?!"
"Oh, it's not a joke, Arlong. I said it was time for you to pay. And I meant it. Master, show him. Show him how he'll die today."
Arlong burst into laughter, marching out of his chair and standing over Luffy. In his contained form, the incubus was a good two feet shorter than the fishman. "This is a joke! You expect one pitiful little human like this to kill me, a fishman?! I am your biological superior in every conceivable way! You are nothing compared to me!"
Luffy just chuckled. "Oh yeah? Prove it? Can a fishman bite through a person's hand?" He held up his right arm as if to shake Arlong's hand only to grimace when the shark's jaws snapped around his wrist.
"Like paper…" Arlong bit down and Luffy had to hold back a scream. The people of Cocoyashi, on the other hand, screamed and cried in horror as they saw something splatter onto the tiles beneath Luffy's feet.
"Nami, are you sure about this guy?!" Nojiko cried.
"Trust me, sister, my Master is full of surprises," she said completely calm, "Just look."
Everyone did and noticed that Luffy was laughing to himself in spite of the horrific pain he must be feeling. Arlong himself noticed, having spat out the hand, and was about to ask only to taste it. Something that distinctly was not blood. It was only then that he looked down at saw the droplet's still coming off of Luffy's arm.
"Wha-?! Your… Your blood…!"
"Hehehehe, yep. It's black." Indeed, a liquid as dark as night was only trickling from Luffy's arm before it began to bubble and steam.
"Tell me, Arlong, where you're from… Do they ever talk about demons? And how hard it is to kill one?"
Luffy held up his frothing stub just before a new hand burst forth from the inky mass, the exact same color and shape as the original.
"HIS HAND GREW BACK?!"
"W-What the?!" Arlong gaped, "That's impossible!"
"Oh, it may be for you, but not for me! You wanna know why? Because I'm no longer human!"
Luffy finally let his powers explode, his muscles rapidly growing until he long outsized Arlong. But this time, he let loose his full-incubus form. For the first time ever, he would be at his strongest.
Arlong stepped back as Luffy shot up to twenty feet tall, literally being dwarfed by just his shadow. The black markings that appeared in his half-demon form grew and blended together until his entire body was as dark as midnight. Along with his massive tail, now over eight feet long, a pair of scaled wings erupted from his upper back, each over ten feet long. His eyes turned blood-red as they glared down past his enormous pecs, his fingers and toes now tipped with grey claws and talons.
"I AM A DEMON FROM HELL! AND I'LL MAKE YOU SUFFER FOR THE PAIN YOU CAUSED MY NAMI!" He screamed at the heavens as violet energy erupted from his body, a column a hundred feet tall as his roar shook the ground, tiles cracking around him from the sheer volume.
Arlong, for the first time in ages, felt genuine fear as he stepped back. His fishman brothers were all gawking at him, panic in their eyes as they realized they had officially pissed off the wrong person. Before the shark-man could give any order, Luffy grabbed him by the head and effortlessly dragged him across the plaza until they were at the base of the pagoda. With the tiniest fraction of his strength, Luffy forced Arlong's famous saw-nose up to this nostrils in the side wall.
"There. Now you sit here and watch as I wipe out your crew one by one," the demon growled before turning. He raised a finger before moving his arm from side to side.
"Let's see now… Eenie… Meenie… Miney… MOE!" A flash of purple energy shot out of his finger faster than a bullet. The fishman in his path was almost instantly blown to smithereens, blood and body parts flying like confetti.
"HOLY SHIT!" Belle-Mere shouted.
"FUCKING HELL!" Nojiko agreed, "Nami, what is he?!"
"He is my Master," she cooed, a look of pure love in her eyes, "And this is his true power. This is the man that will conquer the Grand Line and become King of the Pirates!"
"ROOOOAAAAAAAR!" Luffy charged ahead, the tiles smashing under his footfalls before wildly swinging at the nearest fishman. With a single punch, his chest exploded and splattered onto the nearest crewmen. His tail alone swung with enough force to send one of them flying, leaving them crying at whatever bones were broken as a result.
And all the while, Arlong watched his own men being ripped apart one by one. And every time his eyes met Luffy, he saw the same predatory gleam that he made when attacking the people here. The irony was not lost on him. Even his three lieutenants, the only other ones that carried bounties on the crew, were no match for him.
Choo, a smelt-whiting fishman with massively distended lips, tried firing his famous water bullets. The liquid shots, enough to pulverize a normal man, plinked off Luffy's twelve-pack of abs before the incubus reached up and simply pulled his head free from his shoulders as easily as opening a jar before carelessly tossing the head aside.
Kuroobi, a stingray fishman and fortieth-level dan of Fishman Karate, valiantly charged at him with a barrage of punches and kicks that could annihilate brick walls. He even used his long strand of hair to try and grab Luffy's waist before flinging him into the port where he'd drown thanks to his Devil Fruit. Luffy simply turned and kicked him hard enough to separate his legs from his torso. His last seconds were spent pitifully gasping for air, begging for forgiveness from any god who would listen before he gurgled his last breath.
Hatchan, or Hachi the octopus fishman, and the swordfighter of the crew was the only one with the sense to flee as soon as Luffy's rampage begin. He had known the Arlong Pirates were going too far with their treatment of the people here, and Nami especially, and decided to get out while the getting was good. His only regret was that he didn't have time to save anyone else, all of his brothers too blinded by loyalty to Arlong or sharing his hatred for humans.
As the last few fishmen met their demise, Arlong turned and saw Nami, literally grinning from ear to ear as if the massacre in front of her was a work of art. The people behind her, especially Nojiko and Belle-Mere, were cheering like mad and urging the monster on.
"Oh my god… Shyarly was right… I made this happen… If I never came here, this freak wouldn't be here!"
That was as far as his plea got before Luffy stomped up and pried his nose free from the wall.
"Pl-Pl-Please, let me go! I-I'll leave, right now! You'll never see me agaiGURKH!"
Luffy simply squeezed his neck between two fingers, threatening to pop Arlong's head like a water balloon if he didn't shut up. "You get to die when I tell you. Now then, time to get you a better view."
With a few flaps of his wings, Luffy shot off into the sky. Arlong screamed as he was flown hundreds of feet above the Conomi Islands. His last hope was when he turned to Marine Branch 16. Surely, Nezumi had to have spotted the giant energy flare from earlier and called for backup?
"Heh, don't bother," Luffy chuckled, "Your inside friend is already dead. The rest of my girls have already taken over the base. No one's coming to help you, Arlong. Now be a good boy and lie down."
His hand opened and Arlong fell screaming down to Earth. He looked too late to realize he was falling right on top of Arlong Park, directly onto the pagoda. But rather than crash through the roof and possibly multiple floors, he landed right on the flagpole bearing his jolly roger. Or rather, he was impaled through the stomach on the serrated metal at the top of the flagpole.
"AAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGH!"
"YEAH, THAT'S WHAT YOU DESRVE, STUCK LIE THE PIG YOU ARE!" Belle-Mere yelled from the ground, a resounding cheer from the crowd behind her following. They stopped when Luffy flew down to the ground and ripped the doors to the building off their hinges.
"What are you all waiting for?! Hasn't this bastard been stealing your money for years!"
"Master is right! Let's go take back what's ours!"
An even louder cheer rang out as the people of Cocoyashi did the impossible, freely running into Arlong Park and into the pagoda. Nami led them to the vault on the third floor, showing off her own strength by prying the door half-foot thick iron door open all by herself and showing off the hundreds of millions of beris inside. All neatly stacked on palettes like a proper bank, supposedly to fund "further expansions" into the Arlong Empire.
But now, the people rushed and began hauling millions way, literally grabbing as much as they could carry before heading outside like a parade. They ran off not only to stash their gotten goods, but to spread the word to all the other villages on the islands. That Arlong's reign was over and they could reclaim their tribute money.
And forced to watch all of his was Arlong himself, openly weeping as he saw the people he despised so much walking away with "his" money. Some of them even kicked and spat on the remains of his brothers, adding insult to his very literal injury.
"Aww, what's the matter? Sad your little empire is over already?" Luffy said from behind him, flying with his arms crossed.
"You… You destroyed eight years of work… And for what?! All because you had sex with Nami?!"
"Oh, not just her. I wouldn't let anyone treat one of my girls the way you did. You're not that special. Any last words before you die?"
Arlong actually seemed to think long and hard before turning as best he could to face Luffy. "Whatever you do to me, please let Shyarly go."
"Shyarly? Who's that, your first mate?"
"No, she's my sister-in-law that I forced here because I wanted her fortune-telling. Please, just don't hurt her!"
"Arlong… Don't worry. I wouldn't think of hurting her."
The faintest hint of respect came to the fishman's eyes before Luffy gave a truly evil grin. "I'm going to fuck her."
"WHAT?!" It was then that Arlong noticed the truly ludicrous bulge stretching Luffy's shorts to the absolute limit. Luffy just patted his cock with pride.
"Yep! And by the by, this is when I'm soft. Oh, I'll bet your sister would love a nice, hard fucking after all the shit you put her through! But don't worry, I'll make sure to treat her better than you ever did."
"B-But she's a mermaid!"
"Oooh, even better! Hey, here's an idea! How about I go to whatever your home island is and fuck every mermaid I can find! Isn't that way better than your stupid little empire? HAHAHAHAHA!"
"You… You monster!"
"Says the murderous bigot who's been acting as a tinpot tyrant for almost a decade, gleefully destroying and stealing whatever you want because of your precious 'superior' fishman powers. So, let's start with that day you arrived, Nami told me all about it. What was the first thing you did after showing up and forcing everyone to pay you? Oh, that's right, you broke and crippled Belle-Mere's arm."
"W-What are youAAAAAAAAH!" Arlong cried as Luffy's tail lashed out and struck his shoulder with enough force to shatter every bone down to his fingers.
"Then, after you mercifully decided to spare her once she coughed up the money, you forced Nami to be your navigator. So, you yanked her from her home…" Luffy ripped the flagpole free with the least of his strength before chucking it and Arlong like a javelin down to the ground. Arlong coughed up blood again and again as the metal grated deeper into his torso.
"…Forced her to get that tattoo of your jolly roger on her arm…" Luffy's claws tore through Arlong's other shoulder like hot butter, leaving a row of gashes seeping red that he could do nothing to stop.
"…And then you prayed on a scared, traumatized little girl to make a deal to sell her back her village for a meager sum of 100 million beris. Which, of course, we now know was bunk since your little Marine friend was just going to swipe it all anyway. And since you already lost all your cash, I think the only thing left is to shut you up once and for all."
Luffy's hand reached down to Arlong's prized jaws and simply ripped the entire thing off of the fishman's face. Now Arlong's scream came a gurgling, wordless mess as his tongue wriggled aimlessly, his eyes locked on Luffy as he casually wiped the blood and shards of teeth on his shorts before yanking Arlong off of his pike.
"But, hey, Arlong, there is one thing you're right about. Fishmen can breathe underwater while humans can't. Take some comfort in that, because now you have my permission to die."
The incubus chucked the infamous pirate into the inlet, watching his broken body sink beneath the water until he was out of sight. Arlong himself could only weep as he breathed through his gills, his body still in unimaginable pain as blood kept swimming out of him and into the sea. He prayed that at least one of his brothers made it out alive…
…And was met with the delightful sight of the dismembered body parts of his crew floating to the bottom with him. Apparently, the people of Cocoyashi Village decided to repay him for all the hell he inflicted on them by carelessly dumping the remains of the Arlong Pirates into the sea, just like so many of the people who tried to escape or rebel against him.
His only recourse at this point was to close his eyes and accept his fate. His empire (generously named as it was) was over. And with Nezumi dead, no one would find out about what happened here for who knows how long. His old captain Jinbei would do worse to him for all this, anyway.
His solace was broken by something so bright and purple it shone through his eyelids. The water soon became alarmingly warm as he looked up and saw a giant energy blast heading right for him. Thanks to his half-mangled jaw, he couldn't even scream before the energy engulfed him and his actual final moments were spent in agonizing pain as he was vaporized.
Back on the surface, Luffy released his hand as he watched the massive plume of seawater his blast created. The top easily reached over fifty feet, but thankfully only lightly damaged the surrounding port. As much as he wanted to wipe this place out, he could still use it somehow, especially since that would piss Arlong off something fierce.
But with the deed done, Luffy took a deep breath and reverted back to his "human" form. His wings and tail receded, his skin turned fair and he shrank to his usual height of ten feet. He turned to see Nami was right behind him.
"Thanks, for holding this," he said, plucking his hat off her head.
"Of course, Master. I'll be sure to thank you properly tonight…"
With that to look forward to, Luffy turned to the people of Cocoyashi, all eagerly staring at him now that they'd stashed their reclaimed money.
"From this day on, this island is my domain! And my first rule is no more tributes!"
More celebrating from the people of Cocoyashi, plus the few that had gathered from nearby villages. By this time tomorrow, everyone on Conomi would know that the fishman regime was now a thing of the past.
"From now on, there will never be another tyrant like Arlong and no corrupt asshats like Nezumi. I pledge that under my protection, your homes and livelihoods will be safe and more prosperous than ever!"
And with that, Luffy hoisted Nami in his arms and relished in the feeling of her soft lips and the plush meat of her ass in his hands. He asked her to rejoin the rest of the crew and tell them the good news while he checked in on this Shyarly.
It didn't take long to find the only path to the basement. Down a simple rope ladder was actually a tunnel with seawater pooled a few inches along the bottom. The tunnel was clearly made for something large, given how he could stand comfortably at his full height. Heading through, he could hear what sounded like sighs before he emerged in an underwater cavern. Looking down from the pool, he could actually see an entire room had been built at the bottom of a tank.
While it was sparsely decorated with only a few chairs, a single fluffy pad for a bed and a single table with a crystal ball on it, he noticed each piece of furniture was very oversized. Even now he would have trouble sitting in one of the plush armchairs while touching the floor.
And it was clear why when a huge, dark-blue shape swam up from the side of the tank and breached the surface, about thirty feet separating the submerged floor from open air.
Immediately, Luffy noticed this woman's eyes, a deep ocean blue with the vertical pupils of a shark. Her bountiful figure was covered by a purple shawl, but still left two shapely breasts the size of his head half-exposed. A smooth bang covered her left eye, adding to her sultry allure. He could just make out the base of her mermaid tail, a rick navy blue complete with a dorsal fin near the top.
"Greetings, you must be the hero that finally put Arlong in his place," she said so calmly it almost made Luffy blink.
"Um, yeah… I'm sorry if I-"
"Oh, trust me, there's no love lost on my part. Being abducted from your home, dragged halfway across the world, and trying to convince your racist meathead of an in-law that his whole pet project is doomed to fail means I'm actually quite relieved."
"Cool, uh, thanks…" Luffy coughed. This conversation wasn't going at all the way he thought it would. "So, why are you here?"
"In case the crystal ball wasn't a giveaway, I'm a fortune-teller. Arlong wanted me to divine how to make his glorious empire succeed. I kept telling him to release Nami from his crew since one day she'd betray him and soon he simply stopped asking. I'd have escaped long ago but there's not many accepting of my kind in this sea…"
"Ouch, sounds rough. Well, if it makes you feel better, Nami is in a much better place now. She and her family won't ever have to worry again."
That indeed brought a much warmer smile to the mermaid's face. "That alone is enough reason for me to thank you. Although, there was one part of the future that confused me for so long. It kept saying that Arlong would be defeated by a lothario…"
Luffy chuckled as he dropped his pants, letting his raging erection spring free. After going several hours without relief so he could focus on fighting Arlong, his poor cock was almost red and openly throbbing in lust.
"Oh my gods…"
"Hehehe, yep. I've got forty girls as my harem, all for this dick. So, what do you say, Shyarly? Want to be number forty-one?"
"YES!" Like a woman possessed, Shyarly ripped open her blouse to let her meaty, massive tits bounce free before slapping them around his cock. Even with the seawater still dripping down her cleavage, the soft embrace of a titfuck made Luffy moan.
"My lord, it's so huge… You'd make Sea Kings jealous with this! Ooh, I've been so alone in here, only those idiots to talk to. At least Hachi made it out, he was the only one who bothered to keep me company…"
"Man, you are good with fortune-telling! But I do have to get back to my crew, so if you don't mind speeding this up?"
Shyarly didn't mind at all, wrapping her fine lips around the tip of his cock and moaning like a whore from the taste alone. The shark-mermaid took inch after inch down her throat, growing more and more astonished as she kept finding more schlong to swallow. As her poor, neglected loins begged for more, Luffy started fucking her throat as he sawed his hips hard enough to force another foot or so into her maw.
"Grrr, fuck, so good… Shyarly, once you drink my spunk, you'll be my girl. You'll get a whole lot of perks, but it'll mean no other man will be able to have you."
"Is that supposed to deter me?!" her throaty voice screamed in his head, "I now pledge my life to you and this glorious cock! I shall happily tell you all the places to find more pussies to plunder, more women to add to your harem! Please, Master, let me serve you! Fill my empty belly with your delectable cum and make me your forever!"
"GRAAAAAGGGH!" Luffy actually had to plant his feet into the ground before firing off a blast of baby batter with enough force to rival a cannon. Fortunately for him, Shyarly was literally a big girl and came herself as he emptied gallons of pent-up nut sauce into her guts. Minutes passed as Luffy released more and more shots of sperm, Shyarly's stomach actually bloating from the sheer volume of his orgasm.
"Aaaah, much better! Thanks, Shyarly!"
But rather than respond, the mermaid sank into the pool before a glow overtook her body. Luffy wanted to dive in, but his Devil Fruit meant he'd just drown next to her. This was the first time he'd done the deed with someone that wasn't human.
Thankfully, Shyarly herself proved she was safe as she climbed out of the pool. The woman, now the tallest member of his harem at an even nine-feet tall, was shocked to find that she had a pair of proper legs. It also gave him a chance to look up past her still-expanding thighs to see her sex dripping with desire.
"Master, my legs! A mermaid isn't supposed to get her legs until she turns thirty!"
"Whoa… Did I… make you human?"
"No, I still have my gills… I should be able to regain my tail in water. I just can't believe it…"
"Well, I guess even you can't predict everything!" Luffy carried his newest crewmate in his arms, escorting her into the sunlight for the first time in ages. He led her through Cocoyashi Village and onto his new tangerine grove where all of the Harem Pirates were waiting alongside a literal mountain of beris.
"Holy shit! Is this all the money that Marine had?"
"That's right, Master! And now it's ALLLLL yours!" Erina cooed, the first of many women who began kissing his muscles and fondling his cock through his trousers. Even he couldn't help but notice the pile of money was half as tall as he was, easily totaling hundreds of millions in cold, hard cash.
It was then that noticed the blonde in glasses, clearly eyeing him up. "Hey there. You a local?"
"No, I am former Marine inspector Quistis Trepe, and you have my thanks to deposing both Arlong and his crony Nezumi. Please, allow me to join you."
"Hehehe, of course! The more, the merrier!"
As his harem revealed his cock, Luffy split himself into three. "Now, now, ladies, you'll all get a turn. First, though, time to add these three to the fold!"
Nojiko, Belle-Mere and Quistis blushed at the thought of getting railed in front of everyone but complied. They quickly stripped down to nothing, each being approached by a copy of Luffy who drank in their perky breasts and exposed, sopping pussies. Just being around him was enough to get them wet.
Each of the three were taken in a different hole. Belle-Mere was wagging her ass as Luffy stood behind him to be taken doggy-style. Nojiko was wrapped around his waist, his cock soon to plunge into her quim. And Quistis was on her knees, salivating as she prepared to give her new boss a blowjob.
"So, everyone ready?" all three Luffys asked.
"Yes, Master! Take us!"
The three newbies didn't have to wait any longer. Nami came instantly seeing her sister and mother being claimed by Luffy, one panting like a bitch with her back-door being breached and the other losing her virginity to a pounding that would shape her pussy permanently to only accept her rightful Master. And Quistis was already cumming as she felt foot after foot of dong stuff her throat and stomach.
And with that, the orchard devolved into an orgy as the Harem Pirates took out their building sexual desires on each other. Several of them laid right down on the grass, mashing their sopping sexes in mad scissoring fits. Others were in multi-person fuck-piles where they simply kissed, groped or spanked any loose flesh they could get. This included Shyarly, who was been teased and tasted by Makino, Katsuragi, Hibari, Mana, Leonora and Alice with the last giving her her first ever fingerbang.
The only exception was Nami, furiously fingering herself as she watched Belle-Mere's ass and Nojiko's pussy getting drilled. "Yes, Master! Grow your harem, grow even stronger! Add my whole family to your army of fuck-sleeves!"
"NAMIIII, FUUUUUUUUUUCK! IT'S GONNA RIP ME IN HAAAAAAAAAALF! I CAN'T STOP CUMMIIIIIIIING! CUMMINGCUMMINGCUMMINGCUMMING!"
"MOOOOOOOOORE! IT'S BEEN AGES SINCE I'VE HAD A GOOD FUCK, AND HIS DICK WAS A FRACTION OF THIS! GYAAAAAAAAAAAGH!"
And while Quistis couldn't talk on account of her throat being a sex toy for her new Master, the pool of nectar under her knees and her nipples turning red from her own fondling were proof enough.
"Oh man, so fucking good, gonna cum buckets!" the main Luffy groaned, "And when I do, I want every last one of you to drink it! This is our island now, and we're gonna fuck until not a single one of you can move!"
Hearing that only made the gaggle of girls more eager, now they truly devolved into animals only seeking pleasure. And with a cacophony of moans filling his ears, on top of three more screams of ecstasy, Luffy and his copies roared and let loose floods of spunk that made all of his girls, old and new, cum like faucets. And no matter how, each of his new girls got their first exposure to Luffy's true power.
Belle-Mere felt the faint wrinkles on her face fade, her youth restored as her body massively grew to almost eight-feet with a maroon ponytail that now stopped just above her shelf of a behind. Nojiko's periwinkle hair grew past her shoulders as her tits ballooned to twice the size of her head, obscuring her feet. And Quistis, her stomach bloated from swallowing her master's load, watched in awe as it shrank while she grew taller, more voluptuous and more powerful than ever. She even popped out the lenses of her glasses, keeping the frames as an accessory.
And with his harem grown even larger, his wealth increased by billions, the most wanted pirate in the East Blue gone, and the Navy none the wiser, Luffy let loose a loud, triumphant laugh.
"Ladies, we've done well. When I first set out on my journey, I never imagined we'd grow so strong and so fast. And I owe each and every one of you thanks for that. You've placed your trust in me, left your homes or businesses, pledged yourself to my cause, and helped me reap the rewards. Now, we could just stay like this…"
A wave of confusion came from the girls as he continued, "…We could easily have the East Blue all to ourselves. Driving out other pirates, growing our numbers here, and just sit back on the fortune we have. We could pretty much do what Arlong wanted, our own little fiefdom that no one could hope to challenge us on."
As he stopped pacing, though, he turned to them all with the same roguish grin. "Or, we could be more. We prove that fishman son of a bitch wrong, that we can go beyond the weakest sea. Any pirates or bounty hunters that come after us, we crush them."
The likes of Alvida, Olive, Sham, and Nami grew just as determined.
"If any Marines try to enforce their will, and destroy our way of life, then we wipe them out."
Now Zora, Kuina, Katsuragi and Anko were just as excited.
"We don't grow complacent. We grow more powerful, bettering ourselves in every way. Our coffers will be limitless!"
"YEAH!" Dadan, the Heartfilias, the Nakiris and Carina shouted.
"Our might will trounce anyone who opposes us!"
"YEEEEAH!" Sally, Homura, Kaya, Sanju and Reiju joined in.
"From the four blues to the Grand Line, all will know the Harem Pirates. And I can only get to the One Piece with your help! So, ladies, what do you say?!"
"YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAH!"
"But that… Comes tomorrow. For tonight…" Luffy once again took on his full-demon form, ebony skin and wings awing the rest of his crew. But more than that was the giant, dark, throbbing cock so thick and long it could be used as a weapon with balls as big as the average person behind them.
"TONIGHT I FUCK EVERY LAST ONE OF YOU WHORES INTO A DRIBBLING PILE OF SPLOOGE! SO LINE UP, BITCHES! WHO'S FIRST?!"
The Harem Pirates literally ran over each other, desperate to feel even more pleasure with their master's latest transformation. It took all of them, their titanic titties and worshipful tongues, to properly treat his dick.
Tomorrow, the Harem Pirates will begin to truly expand. But for now, they had a LOT of celebrating to do.
So, with no Nezumi to spill the beans about Luffy, looks like the Harem Pirates are under the radar for now but for how long? Next time, we actually take a little trip down memory lane...
