…

-I'm sorry, Gad, - Axel said in apology upon seeing Gad's face and sadness.

-Wawawawawaw, they picked a fight with the wrong folks, - said the hammerhead shark man, who kept the farthest from the battle and still had an apprehensive look on his face. He had lived a lifetime of mistreatment, wandering from island to island after getting lost at sea while seeking the sun, always running from people who never accepted him.

-I promise to take you to Fish-Man Island and show you places you haven't thought of yet. However, if any of them are willing to follow you, you can be the water officer of the Marine Pirates. Fish-Men are welcome in the crew, as long as they willingly join us, - Axel said.

-We'll see, we'll see, - said Gad, thinking of a harem of Fish-Women for himself, living in a large cabin with twelve children.

"Release them all except for these three - Axel repeated, pointing to Kurobi, Chew, and Arlong. They are the heavyweights of this team, primarily having a Marine base to assault.

-I'm proud of you, Lia; you've shown great progress, - Axel said.

-Thank you, - Tashigi nervously replied, holding the admiration of someone justly in her heart.

-By the way, where are Agatha and the triplets? - Axel asked.

-Well, they went to the village when the fight started, something about looking for a clothing store and gathering some ingredients. In general, they must be making some stops here and there, - Ussop said, particularly worn out from fighting against some henchmen.

-Alright, do as you please. I only need Deuce and Kuro. Oh, Gad, be careful; people must fear you after all. I don't think Arlong and his people are friendly with the local population. Look, I found this in the ruins, it's treasure. I think it belongs to these guys. What do you say we make a stop here? I believe if you find it, we'll have a powerful feast, - Axel said, handing him the map.

-Wawawawawa, you always know how to make me happy. Hey, old man, where is this? - Gad asked Nithtal, and they started discussing the possible location of the treasure map.

-Let's go, we have a Marine base to attack, - Axel said.

-Wait, a Marine base! This is insane; the Marines will chase us to the end of the world, - Deuce exclaimed.

-How do you think this guy can walk around so carefree for so long? He has someone helping him behind the scenes, and I think I know who. We just need to teach him a few lessons; reprisals always come in the worst ways. Understand the danger of the situation, - Axel questioned Deuce.

-It's not logical to attack a Marine base, -- Kuro said. -- But if it's to witness your downfall faster, I'll gladly accompany you to raid the Marine base, - he added.

-It's appreciated on your part, but I won't fall that easily. Besides, we'll just send a message to these corrupt Marines. It's useless to clean up pirates if the Marines will ally with other pirates, - Axel said.

Deuce began to ponder the stories Axel had told him. His feelings have changed since he joined as a pirate; on the contrary, he's become more tearful and timid.

They traveled with a bitter urgency; the Marine base was just minutes from the village. The bastards were too brazen. Axel allowed the dangerous Kuro to engage in a violent beating at the Marine base that once enjoyed an alliance with pirates. The Zoan demon made a strong impression on the cadets guarding the Marine base. The vault's haul contained perhaps around thirty million berries, which would serve them for their next journey, along with some gold items that they would likely sell in the next city.

-Why? - whispered the mouse agonizing after the beating given by Kuro. In the distance, many Marines were lying unconscious and bleeding on the ground, a tough blow for the Marines.

-That's none of your concern, Marine. I hope you have a better life in the afterlife, - Axel said.

The second in command, a man with a yellow afro, trembled on the ground; even his hands were slipping with the sword he carried as protection.

Axel intoned strongly for everyone to hear, "The next time you, as the leader of a Marine base, try to ally with pirates, remember well that there is nothing worse than revenge. The moment you stopped fulfilling your duties was your death sentence. There's nothing worse than a sellout who enjoys the suffering of many towns.

The fire licked slowly at the port; the damages were considerable, and the smoke rose into the sky. Groans echoed throughout the Marine base. They took all the money from the place and headed to the Cocoyashi Islands.

-Go to the designated location, - a voice shouted in his mind, mysteriously, as if it were a game. A bright point of light illuminated his mind, and he found a deep cave with a large figure with red hair and a blue vest, about two meters and something more, leaning against a cave wall.

-So, you're the one who saved me from this place, -- Sergeant Metal said. -- I am grateful; let me follow you until my last days. -

A deep silence followed the deep voice that resonated throughout the cave. The Sergeant Metal felt the anticipation from Axel.

-It is my pleasure to welcome you as my crew member. However, my curiosity and certain things need to be satisfied. What is the last thing that comes to your mind? - Axel asked.

-I fell into a state of deprivation after a battle; you saved me from certain death. You told me to wait for your arrival. During that time, I entered hibernation mode. Now I can repay my debts by serving you, Captain, - Metal said.

-Ah, I see! Before that, let me give you this Devil Fruit. It's an item that can help save your life, - Axel said, handing him a Devil Fruit.

-Your nobility blinds me, Master. Not only did you save my life, but you also gave me a Devil Fruit without asking for anything in return, - Metal said, with a powerful voice.

-Now you are part of my team. The more powerful you become, the greater the benefits," Axel said. "This model is a prehistoric Zoan Ryu Ryu model of Stegosaurus, the armored dinosaur. With your powerful metal and flesh body, your physical strength would already be insurmountable for some high-category pirates, - Axel explained.

-I'm glad to hear that, - Metal said, the evident change in strength should already be perceived; the power of a Zoan Fruit will take him to unimaginable limits.

-Let's go; you will meet the other guys, - Axel said.

-Affirmative, - Metal said.

-Hmm... Call me Captain Axel from now on. If you need anything, I can give you everything you need, just give me time, - Axel said.

-Yes, Captain Axel, - Metal said.

-Oh, that's why it took so long, -- Deuce said. -- Who is this? -- he asked.

-He's an old friend I once saved. He promised that if we ever crossed paths again, he would follow me, - Axel said.

-He's quite big, - Deuce said.

-He is. Metal, this here is Deuce Mask, the red soldier of the crew. And this is Kuro, the panther known as the pirate of a hundred plans, - Axel said.

-Sergeant Metal, a pleasure, - the robot said dryly.

-Hmm, I don't think the three of us can fit in the small skiff, - Deuce said.

-We'll make it, Deuce, - Axel said.

-Well, let's give it a try, - Deuce said. He wasn't lying; the journey took almost an hour. The weight of the Metal is no joke; the metal guy must weigh about 200 kilos, which is an absurd amount for a small boat. Now their small boat can't contain more crew members. The discomfort is evident; it needs an upgrade as soon as possible.

Metal has an imposing aura, from his heavy steps to his thick arms that scream to knock your head off. He saw the boat in the port; they couldn't stay on this island for long. It won't be long before the Marines come to settle accounts for the destruction of their base.

-Let's go to the village. Metal, bring these fishermen to me; the whole town must know that Arlong's tyranny has been cleansed, - Axel said.

-Yes, Captain Axel, - Metal said with a nod. The battered bodies of Arlong, Kuroobi, and Chew were chained with thick black chains, tying both hands and feet, entangling their trunks in uncomfortable positions.

-Stop there; this village does not admit foreigners. The Arlong Pirates rule. It's better to flee before the fishermen end up dragging you away, - Genzo said, his characteristic top spinning. Some village members followed, and he saw the town doctor observing everything from a rocking chair.

-The Arlong Pirates fell recently, - Kuro said. - I regret to say they didn't even scratch Axel. -

-We're not joking! They are very strong; even bullets don't harm their thick skins, - Genzo said, his long eyes, combined with numerous scars on his face, made people stop to listen to his words.

Metal awaited Axel's signal. The villagers stopped to observe Metal; his height was no less than Arlong's, and his thick arms were as large as cannons, giving him a terrifying appearance. He could see that some people swallowed nervously.

-Captain, - Metal asked.- You can do it, - Axel said.

Metal lifted the Gyojin and showed them to all the villagers who were open-mouthed in awe at the demonstration they never thought would happen even in their wildest dreams. Even the most skeptical villagers could only deafen in terror. They undoubtedly saw in the distance the guy in a suit who commanded respect, the masked guy as calm as a fisherman on a calm day, and although it might seem strange, the young man with black hair imposed himself among such figures. How devastating is a person who manages to impose himself on a giant? Or a man in a suit who screams murderer by just moving his arms.

-Ah, how refreshing, the respect they show, - Kuro said.

The villagers took a few steps back at the man's aggressive comment.

-We are not here to fight or cause trouble. My crew is touring the island; we will leave as soon as everyone is gathered. We don't want problems, - Axel said.

-I'm glad to hear that. We don't have many provisions; the village has been slowly decaying due to the recurrent damage caused by pirates. But we have some things that might be useful, -- Genzo said. -- I suppose you've come for some supplies. -

-That's correct. I would like to see the bookstore and a fruit stand, - Axel said.

-Well, the bookstore is that white and blue house, - Genzo said.

-Deuce and Kuro, you'll be in charge of buying books; we're missing some important topics, like marine fauna, - Axel told them.

-As for a food store, I regret to say that we don't have many fruits. There is a small orange orchard, - Genzo said.

-Alright, let's go there, - Axel said. - Metal, stay at the port, - Axel instructed.

Indecision intensified in Genzo's body, knowing that he could have put little Nokijo in danger from other possibly dangerous and vicious pirates. The old nurse joined Genzo.

-Let's go, - Genzo said along with Neko.

The other citizens of the Coconami Islands continued their chores with some apprehension. They couldn't tell if what happened was true or a lie. They entered their homes to take a break, in the relief they still couldn't enjoy due to the distrust created by years of suffering.

-Why did you come here? - Neko asked, with a soft and deliberate voice, quite submissive.

-A member of my crew is a Gyojin, and there are also the triplets who are half mermaids. They had a reason to see their compatriots in the blue sea. The idea was to greet and leave, but Arlong was very challenging, and you know, pirates don't run from challenges, - Axel said.

The sweaty faces of Axel's companions were even more nervous. He knocked him down because there was an insult between the parties, he prayed that they would leave without causing problems in the village; he was fed up and bored with piracy.

-This way, - Genzo said.

Ahhh, he saw a clearing with some oranges. To his left were Lia and Ussop, chatting happily.

-Axel, how are you? Can you believe they said I'm a big liar, the great Captain Ussop who defeated the Arlong Pirates? - Ussop said.

-How is that possible? - Axel replied.

-I still don't understand; they don't know the greatness of the great Ussop, the one who rules the seas with 8,000 members under his command, - Ussop said, receiving a hit from Nokijo.

-Stop talking; I've told you it's dangerous for you to be around here. They won't take long to make rounds, and you'll get into trouble. You might even die, - Nokijo said.

-Ha, I fell the first time, but I know that's not true, - Ussop said resolutely.

Nokijo could only sigh.

-Old Genzo, help me get them out, - Axel said.

-It's not necessary. It's true that Arlong Park no longer exists. I saw Arlong captured and bound in thick chains a while ago, - Genzo said.

-It's not possible! - she stood up from her seat, hitting her hands against the table, surprised.

-It is; I'm surprised too, - Genzo said.

-Everything... everything is over, - Nokijo said.

-You did it, little one, - Genzo said.

-It was you, Captain Ussop. You look disappointingly weak, - Nokijo said, wiping away tears of happiness.

-Hahahahahaha, - Axel laughed. Many people end up believing Ussop's antics, and it can only be destined to be very funny.

-Well, you see, Axel helped me, - Ussop said, to receive another hit from Tashigi.

-Axel ended Arlong at my request, - Lia said. - Now his shark-tooth sword is in my hands, along with the six swords of the octopus Hachi. The pirate had no chance against Captain Axel; he is the best swordsman in the Blue, - Lia said, starting to collect swords.

-Well, Lia, you're making me blush. You've become quite skilled at flirting, - Axel said.

-A-ahh-hh, it's not what you think, -Lia said, her ears turning red.

-How is it possible for a human to defeat fishermen? They're ten times more powerful than humans, -Nokijo said.

-Ten times stronger than a normal human, with enough training, it's possible to match and surpass them," -Axel said.

-Show me, - Nokijo said, incredulous.

-Well! The unbelieving woman, - Axel said, disappearing in an instant into thin air. Both Genzo, Nako, and Nokijo were surprised to see the young black-haired man vanish in the blink of an eye.

-Boo, - Axel said behind Nokijo, tapping two fingers on her nape. Nokijo reacted like a cat and shivered from toe to crown.

-You scared me, idiot, -- Nokijo said with a hand on her heart. -- I believe you. How did you disappear? - the girl asked, astonished.

-I didn't disappear; I moved very fast. Your eye isn't trained to see movements at high speed, - Axel said.

-Mmmmm, incredible, - Nokijo said.

-So, you came to give me the good news, - Nokijo said, laughing joyfully.

-Unfortunately, I was too nervous to give you the news when I brought the young man. He wants to buy some oranges from your orchard, - Genzo said.

-Ohhhhh, you know my oranges are the best on the entire Coconami Island, - Nokijo said.

-Well, set a price? - Axel said.

-40,000 berries per barrel, - Nojiko said.

-Done, - Axel replied.

-Ohhhhhh, you also have money; my sister would like you, - Nokijo said.

-Where is she? - Ussop asked. - You're not supposed to leave the village. -

-Well, she sails and gets money from the villagers, - Nokijo said, responding resolutely as she pulled out her large barrel and began collecting oranges from here and there. She selected all the oranges she found good. Not every day could you trick someone with a price of 40,000 berries per barrel; this barrel was barely worth 5,000 berries.

-Well, now she doesn't have to collect money anymore, - Lia said.

...
