Fights and dealing with a rat. You know, cause they make me crazy.

Im just gonna start out and say this, Arlong was loaded. Sure it's all ill gotten gains so I'm not gonna keep all of it, but even if I only give half away I'll still have a small fortune of about 40 million berries. Not counting the treasures like gold or gems. But that's not the best part. I found a chest that was locked away tighter then a discord mods virginity. It's heavy to, I decided no to open it yet. May as well make it a group bonding thing. Ohh but the temptation is hard, the thing gives me hard cs:go vibes.

Sure I could tell you everything I took but I don't have the time and neither do you. Wait do you, I mean I'm not really sure what you are. I mean sure I can kind of feel eyes on me at times. Creep, but still I'm not sure if I've truly went insane or that fucker of a ROB set up a tv show, or god forbid a fan fiction, ehhh who cares. I've come to like these talks I have with my stalkers. So keep watching, I'm pretty sure your the only thing keeping me form going off my rocker.

Ohh where was I. Well since I'm not sure if you want to know what I've found I'll just let you know the basics. I've got a shit ton of weapons, cheep booze, a decent amount of food that I plan to give to the villagers, and a bunch of miscellaneous items I can probably sell at Lougetown. The gold and chest were in a different area so I didn't count them.

Well I've done what I wanted. Plus I want to see if I can get in a few shots with my Tommy gun. Sure my sword is awesome, but there's just something about firearms that just make me happy inside. I doubt I will though. Everyone is stronger then they would have been otherwise. Except Sanji, but even I have to give him some slack, he did just join so. Anyway I'll see you outside. Let me know how their fights went would you, great thanks.

(In case anyone is wondering this is mostly a bit. But yes John is thinking things like this constantly. I think it will justify why every thing is written the way it is. Sure I could of had him write things in a journal and done 2nd person most of the time, but I think a man going slightly crazy and monologuing in his head at almost every waking moment, just hits a lot funnier with me. Ohh and to reiterate if I haven't all ready, this isn't a SI, it's more like an OC got Si'd.)

(With Nami and Usopp)

The pair were facing their opponents, Chew and Grunt 2.2 fairly easily all things considered. When the fight had first started there were 5 grunts. With Nami's help stalling and making openings Usopp was able to land his explosive shots on the gills of four of the goons. The fighting kept going for a while until he saw an opportunity to take down Chew. As he let his shot fly the last grunt jumped in front of his superior, hoping to give him a chance for him to avenge their comrades.

"I'm going to skin the long nosed bastard alive after I make him watch you writhing under me Nami. And then I'm going to feed you both to Momo. I'm sure now that you've betrayed us Arlong won't care if I have a bit of fun with my prey before finishing them off right?" He asked with blood shot eyes. His anger reaching a boiling point so hit you can probably feel the steam from here.

"Usopp use everything. This fucker dies today. And I'm going to enjoy every second of it." She says remembering the times Chew has groped her in the past. Soon after she sees him nod she gets ready to change at Chew hoping to get him in a good position for Usopp.

"You really think the two of you could beat me. I'm one of the strongest fish man here, you were barely able to fight 5 of our weakest, how do you expect to kill me." Chew laughs out when he hears them plan their next move.

While Nami charges Chew, doing her best to avoid Chew's water attacks, Usopp thinks of a plan and starts by shooting Chew in the face with a Tabasco star. This enrages him to the point he starts swinging madly. And unlucky for her, Nami ended up taking a glancing blow.

"I lied. I'm not even going to play, I'm going to tear you limb from limb and eat you myself." Chew says enraged that he can't see. All the while Usopp keeps firing his slingshot.

It didn't take long after he said that to knock Nami to the ground. As he came to a stop above her about to speak, Usopp made his move.

"Improved Bolo shot. Exploding star." As he said that two bolos made their way and wrapped around Chews legs and arms. Then one of Usopps strongest explosive rounds hit him right in the chest making him fall backwards, right into a pile of caltrops.

Seeing this Nami gets up and rushes forward to swing her staff as hard as she can at Chews neck. When they know that the job is done they both sigh in relief and send each other a thumbs up.

(With Sanji)

Since he charged in first he had to fight a lot of grunts to make it as far as he has. They may be week but they always take a toll. But eventually he engages in a fight with the very stout martial artist, Kuroobi. Since Sanji decided to show off and rush forward, he has grown a little tired. It didn't take them long to trade a few blows and break away smirking at one another.

"You're not bad for a human. But unfortunately for you, with my 100 tile true punch, your chances of survival are zero percent. Now face the true essence of fish man karate." Kuroobi then swings his fist down at Sanji's head.

Rolling to the side, Sanji pops back up, kicking the fish man away. "Usually I don't like wasting good meat. But when I finish with you I'll let you rot. Im not certain fish man is eatable, so don't worry I'll throw you in the ocean where you belong." Sanji says before hitting Kuroobi away in a 6 hit combo. All named after different cuts of meat for some reason.

Seeing Sanji cartwheeling towards him, Kuroobi takes his final stance screaming " Damn you. 1000 tile true punch." Unfortunately for him, Sanji dodged his last desperate attempt.

Finally Sanji kicked off the ground yelling out his move. "Mutton shot" and kicked him an unseen number of times ending the fight almost as quickly as it began.

As he straightened him self out he muttered on last line. "It seems you won't be served desert." Before heading to join the others.

(With Zorro)

"John's not usually wrong about things like this. Since he said you weren't a bad person I'll give you the opportunity to leave." Zorro said standing in front of the octopus fish man.

"I am the user of the six sword style, Hatchan. I will not let you look down on me with out even a fight." He says while reading his swords. "I'm going to cut you up for even offering that." He then starts moving towards Zorro, wildly swinging all of his swords.

"Huh, sorry I can't let you do that. I made a promise to my captain, and I want to be able to enjoy the after party." She says before she starts deflecting his blows, moving closer and closer to the point where she can attack back. Once she has the opportunity she takes it, her breathing already in place the maw of a ferocious wolf manifests around her. "Asura breathing, three swords style. Tourou Nagasaki."

Coming to a stop and sheathing her swords she turns her head to Hatchan. "I gave you a chance to stop before getting hurt. Now leave I won't kill you. But I can't say the same for the rest if you try again." She says before grouping with everyone else.

Hatchan fell to the ground all of his swords broken and two small gashes on his chest. Looking around as much as he can, he sees everyone defeated. Thinking he can do nothing else he cries in his heart as he craws to the ocean. Cursing himself for being weak, and for allowing Arlong for trying to take over the east blue.

(For those who may ask why Zorro didn't declare she had to seek out Mihawk. The reason is she didn't hear him say to find him. She was unconscious remember. She will learn when they leave Cocoyashi village as everyone is talking.)

(Back with John)

Oh hey you're back. How were the fights, not gonna tell me are you. It's fine I didn't expect you to anyway. Well I can see they did pretty well by the look of things, the only one still fighting is our captain. But even that won't last long. Anyway might as well make conversation with everybody. "Good job guys, I didn't even need to help out." I say with a grin and a thumbs up.

In response I get a glare from Usopp and Nami while the say "You weren't even watching." A "Anything for Nami swan" from Sanji. And a "Huh. Did you expect anything less." I replied to both the angry ones with "Of course not, I hade faith in you both to be fine on your own." Which made them look away for a moment before remembering I was the one who said it and just deadpanned at me. I ignored Sanji before turning to Zorro.

"Good job at letting him go by the way. Not all of them are bad I'm sure, but I knew of him and he doesn't deserve to be killed or In prison." I give a small smile to her.

"Yea I figured, he seemed a little slow. He most likely just got caught up in Arlong delusions." She says while Nami makes a disgruntled face, which we both ignore for the time being.

But before we can really get going we all turn to Luffy's fight seeing how it's coming to a close.

"You damn human. Just die so I can kill your crew. How dare you come here and kill my family. I'll make you pay for everyone you killed. Then I'll kill everyone on this fucking island and keep going until my anger settles. And I'll make sure the world knows it was you who set me off." Screams Arlong frothing at the mouth, rushing at Luffy with even more ferocity.

Luffy having been evading all of Arlongs attacks was for the first time hit by a set of his teeth. But the cost of getting that close way a devastating fist to the gut that shot him through the air.

When Arlong stands up he sees the gaping wounds on Luffy's shoulder shrink as he lets his arm un-constrict. Leaving nothing but a few pinholes that heal in no time flat.

"Alright I've tried my new moves enough let's get this over with." Luffy then rushes forward leaving his left hand behind him as he charges. When he gets close enough he yells out "Gum Gum pistol."

Arlong not used to Luffy's regular attacks is blind sided when a fist flew at break neck speeds into his face, breaking his nose and slinging him into the building behind him. I assume the fight went about the same as it would have because only a few moments later I foot shot upwards and came crashing down with the whole building following it after.

"Shishishi let's go let Nami say goodbye to everyone. And have them call the marines to bag these guys up. Sanji I want meat when we get to the ship, I'm hungry." Luffy just laughs out as he walks out of the rubble.

But before we can make it out of the park we see a group of about 3 dozen marines with a rat leading them at the front. "Chi chi chi, when Arlong and his men didn't come to finish off those new marines I knew something must have happened. Imagine my surprise when I see a group of rooki-." He didn't get to finish before a bullet from my pistol pierced his head.

"I fucking hate rats. Now are you going to fight or run with your tails behind your legs. Wait actually don't do either just pick up the trash behind us and go. Hopefully the new marines are actually descent folk." I say while putting my gun back in my coat.

"John why'd you kill him?" Luffy asks, manly because he didn't see him as a threat to the crew.

"Because he was the reason Arlong was able to keep Nami all this time, Captain. Without him the marines would have sent someone to take care of Arlong a long time ago." I give a response that sounds reasonable. It's mostly just because I just don't like people like him.

"Shishishi, ok just making sure. So are we gonna fight or are you all gonna let us leave?" He grinned turning to the group of marines. When he says that we all get ready for another fight, I pull out my Tommy hoping to use it a bit.

"N-no we will get out of your way Strawhat Luffy. Just don't let the demon near us please." I wonder why he said it like that, no of us look that scary. Ohh, woops my flame powered itself on while I looked at my gun, that and the fact that I'm grinning must have freaked them out.

Muttering a quick "Sorry, I was just excited to use my new gun." Putting it away just freaked them out more.

"Shishishi, you guys are funny. Come on let's go say goodbye and leave. I'm sure they will call for help when we get out of view for them." Luffy waves us towards the town. Where after a few heart felt goodbyes, a visit to the orchard, and lastly a grave of Nami's mother. We set off for Loguetown. Mason jars in hand and food all around us, for another fight won.
