Chapter 16: East Blue Arc: Proud Warriors & Fierce Battles!

"How's he?" Zoro asked when Sasha climbed out onto shore after pulling Luffy into land.

"Still unconscious." Sasha replied. "I think he swallowed some water, too."

"You bitch!" Kuroobi snarled, enraged that their plan was thwarted.

"Collier!" Sanji sent a neck kick to Kuroobi's neck before he could attack Sasha from the back. "Don't you dare attack Sasha-hime from the back." the cook growled. "Épaule!" he continued kicking Kuroobi to the ground. "Côtelette! Selle!" his next two series of kicks propelled Kuroobi from the ground. "Poitrine!" the third kick slammed Kuroobi back onto the ground. "Gigot!" his final kick sent Kuroobi flying back.

"Son of a bitch!" Kuroobi swore. "Ultimate Fist! Thousand-Brick!"

"Mouton Shot!" Sanji ended the fight with a flying kick that sent Kuroobi flying through the building. "I guess he doesn't want dessert."

"Kuroobi, Hachi..." Arlong gave his defeated subordinates a look.

"They're small fish, after all." Sanji remarked. "It's a million and fifty thousand years too early for them to go against a cook. We win this game."

"How dare you bastards beat my dear brothers one after another..." Arlong stepped out. "Aren't you getting a little too carried away?"

"Your opponent is me." Sasha declared, deflecting the water bullets Arlong shot at Zoro and Sanji with a crystal sword. Now decked in her Hydromancer Robe; a Japanese/Chinese inspired kimono consisting of a knee-length sleeveless tunic dotted with wave-like patterns and secured by a large, dark navy belt, her stance tightened as she prepared to defend the two battle-worn men while buying time for Luffy to recover.

"Arlong!" Nami shouted.

"Hey, Nami." Arlong addressed the navigator. "I was just about to crush this little girl. What did you come here for?"

"To kill you" Nami declared.
