My Little Pony: Pirates of the New World!
Chapter 23: From bad to worse confrontations and tensions on all sides and factions on the island
Previous ChapterCover Art
At the west coast of Cocoyashi Village people are gathered to investigate a certain change to the geography of the island.
"Look the shore has been gouged out!!" One of the men from the village exclaimed.
"But there's no traces of anything here. Not even the smell of gunpowder. Another one of the civilians answered.
"Just what on earth happened here...?" Another one among the crowd questioned.
"Hmm... Something tells me that there's a bigger phenomenon out there that we're going to find out..." Bonbon said.
"Really Bonbon...? Judging by the destruction that's been created here on a closer look, I think that its a bite. A bite from a possible monster." Lyra exclaimed as she examined the area.
"A monster huh...? It could be possible.." Capper said as he puts a claw under his chin while thinking this through.
"That's an interesting theory Capper. Do you really think it could be one of your friends out there again?" Nojiko asks Capper.
"Well if they are then they got an interesting way to say hello." Bonbon said as she puts a hoof over her wife.
"Hey look!!" One of the villagers pointed out.
"Isn't that... A marine ship...?" Genzo asks in shock.
"It doesn't look like any marine ship that I've ever seen. It must not be from the marine base near this region." Another one of the townspeople said.
"Hey sis!! Hey everyone!!" Chabo happily waved as he ran over to Nojiko and his familiar friends.
"Ah the kid from Gosa..." Nojiko nonchalantly exclaimed.
"Kid. I don't think this is the time to play around." Capper said.
"Can you all see the marine ship?!" Chabo asks excitedly.
"You mean that?" Nojiko exclaimed as she points out to the ocean.
"Yeah! The government sent it to aid Gosa village! They've sent a ship for us!"
"They sent a ship?!" Nojiko asks.
"That's right!! Some of the survivors from my village managed to contact the government!!" Chabo exclaimed happily.
"Well. It looks like there's hope for this village after all.." Capper exclaimed with a smirk.
"And so we are saved Babe? I'm interested to know what they can do." Lyra said.
"It would be interesting... But I still have my doubts... I don't think that a single marine ship is enough.." Bonbon added.
"I know babe... I know..." Lyra exclaimed with a sigh as she and Bonbon continued to wrap hooves around each other.
On a certain marine ship...
"So is that the rumored Arlong Park? The world must be coming to an end if pirates can just set up a cozy base and strut their stuff like that." The marine officer commodore Purin Purin exclaimed as he sees all that he needs by the deck of his ship.
"I couldn't agree more commodore Purin Purin!" One of the marines answered with a salute.
"Listen up men our mission today is only to rescue the survivors of Gosa village which was recently destroyed by the Arlong Pirates! However does that allow us who stand for justice to simply overlook a pirate fortress in front of our eyes?!"
"No sir no!!" The rest of the marines in the ship answered back with a salute.
"He's quite a motivational speaker isn't he?" One of the marines exclaimed to his fellow comrade.
Meanwhile back on Arlong Park...
"The 77th branch?" Arlong asks with a raised eyebrow.
"Yes. That's what it says." One of the fishmen exclaimed.
"Must be new then. Someone go over there and negotiate with their captain. If you can't buy em off for 2 million then just get rid of them." Arlong ordered to his crewmates when something was about to come colliding down by their base.
"Agh!! They fired off their cannons!! Watch out Arlong!!" The fishmen all cried out in worry and uncertainty around them.
"Ahhh!!" Arlong let out a terrifying roar as he opens his mouth of razor sharp teeth and crushes the cannon ball with his teeth and splattering the broken pieces everywhere with a spit.
"He stopped a cannon ball with his teeth!!" One of the fish men said in awe and wonder.
"W... What monstrous jaw strength... " Another one of the crewmembers said in his observance of Arlong's power.
"Do you still wish to proceed with the negotiations?" Kuroobi asks with a raised eyebrow.
"Cancel it!!" Arlong answered back his comrade with a spit of cannon ball fragments to the side.
"Alright!! Its time for battle!!" All the members of the Arlong Pirates cheered out as they raised their fists up into the air.
"Chu!! Hold up you guys!!" Chew exclaimed with a hand out. "There's no need for you to expend a while lot of effort just to get rid of some trash."
"Just leave em to us!!" Hacchi added as he slammed a fist into his palm and cracked his knuckles.
"Those humans are truly foolish if they think they can challenge us out on the seas..." Kuroobi exclaimed with a grunt as he crosses his arms over his chest.
"Heh this will be quite a sight if all three of our officers are fighting." Exclaimed one of the Arlong Pirates.
"Gyoho. That ship won't even last three minutes." His pirate comrade exclaimed with a scoff.
On commodore Purin Purin's ship...
"That's strange... Commodore Purin Purin! It seems that the cannon ball failed to explode." One of the sailors reported to his commanding officer with a salute.
"Fire another shot then. This is our declaration of war! We must show them that we're prepared to fight no matter what! Our enemies are fishmen so don't let your guard down men!"
"Yes commodore Purin Purin!!"
"Lighting the cannon.." One of the marines was about to lit another match for the cannon when...
"Water gun!!" Chew declared as he spits out water at the marine with the trajectory of a bullet killing him instantly much to the shock of the other men.
"Its the Arlong Pirates!!"
"Prepare for battle!!"
"Wait!! Calm down men!!" Their commanding officer ordered much to the shock of the marines that were around and to the surprise of Chew.
"I am commodore Purin Purin of the marine's 77th branch!! My men and I are a fairly renowned troop of elite marines so it would be best if you just surrendered peacefully and... Aghhhh!!!" The marine officer screamed out in pain as Chew just blasts a water into his chest with a trajectory of a bullet sending him to his death.
"Sir!!" The marines cried out at the condition of their commanding officer when they got riled up and charges at Chew. "How dare you!! Kill him!!"
"What's going on?! How could a fishman be underneath our ship right now?!" The marines asked among themselves now more confused than ever as Kuroobi from underwater rips off the ship's rudder.
"As of now... Your ship's rudder has been removed. And a ship without a working rudder has only one destination... Chu!! To the bottom of the sea." Chew exclaimed with a smirk as he points a finger at the water while just right under them something else was happening.
"My job's to move this reef!! Lets do this!! Ohh!!" Hachi declared as the octopus fishman holds unto the enormous stone from under the water and starts to spin it faster and faster while Kuroobi punches a huge hole from under the marine ship and drags it ever so near to the whirlpool that resulted from Hachi spinning the rock reef even more rapidly.
"Just what the hell do you want?!!" One of the marines demanded.
"Lets make this ship easier to sink!! Eii!!!" Kuroobi screamed out as the rayfish man continued to punch more holes from under the ship while the marines screamed and panicked for their inevitable lives.
"Ahhhh!!"
"Let's say for example... A great reef was moved right in the middle of the ocean on a strong tidal current... Just what do you supposed will happen then...?" Chew exclaimed with an ominous grin.
"Ahhh!! A gigantic whirlpool suddenly appeared right in front of us!!"
"That's impossible!!"
"The rudder won't work!!"
"We're being sucked in!!"
The marines all screamed as they panic trying to bore up the holes on their ship as Chew jumps into the water. But no water how much patching they have done. The ship's rudder is still broken meaning they can't steer their vessel as they just rapidly drags in and all of them drowned to death as seen by the villagers of Cocoyashi Village and even Nojiko's new friends.
"Even though they came to join us..." Chabo exclaimed as tears start to fill up his eyes as they looked on.
"This is the cruel reality... No one can escape from Arlong's rule..." Nojiko says as he gets on one knee to give the kid a pat on the shoulder while Lyra and Bonbon both being worried wrapped their hooves around Chabo.
"That's how the cookie crumbles... As I've said its only a matter of time on finding the right ones to save us.. Their death will not be in vain..." Capper exclaimed.
"If someone... If anyone is out there please save us..." Bonbon says with a sigh.
"I just know how you feel Bonbon... Me too... I just know that they're coming soon.." Lyra replied as she puts a hoof around her wife and kisses her on the cheek.
"Their sacrifice will not be in vain.. The universe itself knows that..." Capper finished while Nojiko just held them up close.
"Come on everyone.. Lets just go home..." Genzo says with a sigh as he leaves with the other villagers while Nojiko walks off with Capper, Lyra and Bonbon.
Back at Arlong park...
"Sorry for making you go through with all that trouble boys..." Along exclaimed with a sinister grin.
"Heh its nothing as long as we know everything there is to know about these seas from the winds to the ocean floors. Chu!!" Chew exclaimed as he flexes his muscles in front of their boss as he walks back with the other two officers of the pirate crew.
"With Nami's sea charts and our abilities no one can challenge us on the seas." Hachi said.
"Speaking of which, Nami's an invaluable member if we're to create our Arlong Empire." Arlong exclaimed.
"But didn't you promised to let her and her village go free once she pays the 100 million berries?" Chew asked out.
"Of course. As I've said before I'm a man who would rather die than break a promise involving money!!" Arlong answered with a sinister grin.
"Say it one more time!! Say it and I swear I'll kick your ass!!" Luffy screamed out as he was about to beat up the bounty hunter and grabbing unto his shirt but Twilight quickly held him back with her magic while Johnny gets pulled back by Applejack and Rainbow Dash.
"Luffy stop!! Its not as if Johnny's at fault here!!" Yosaku tried to explain.
"Well he's making up bullcrap!!" Luffy yelled out.
"D... Did Nami really killed Usopp...?" Apple Bloom asks with a shocked look to her face. "I... It can't be right? That's not possible!!" Sweetie Belle says as she starts shaking nervously. "We know what kind of person Nami is!! There has to be some kind of misunderstanding!! Tell us!!" Scootaloo says as she starts tearing up.
"Lets go over here girls..." Applejack says as she ushers them to the side while Gilda keeps an eye on the fillies.
"Luffy calm down!! No one here is going to hurt anybody got it?!" Twilight said as the alicorn princess pulls him back with an aura of magic with Rarity's help but he just keeps budging while Moondancer pull out a magic barrier in front of Luffy.
"Hey!! There's no need to get all heated!! We don't even know what happened yet!!" Spike tried to reason.
"Its fine if you don't want to believe it!! But I saw it with my very own eyes!!" Johnny yelled back much to everyone's shock when someone arrives shutting everyone up.
"Nami..." Luffy uttered out.
"Just who did you call crewmates Luffy?" Nami calls as she looks at the straw hat kid with narrowed eyes. "And what did you all came to this island for?" Nami nonchalantly asks.
"What are you talking about? Aren't we crewmates? We've come for you of course!!" Luffy says as he puts back his hat.
"Yeah!! What gives?! With you taking the Going Merry and going out on your own!! You better explain yourself right now!!" Rainbow demanded.
"Rainbow stop arguing with her!!" Zoro says as he prepares his sword and charges for Nami much to the shock of everyone else when Sanji suddenly faces Zoro himself and blocks the sword with his leg. "Yeah right!! I've seen enough!! A woman like her doesn't deserve to have a talk with you!!" Sanji says in a pissed off manner.
"I already have the words of my friend and I'm taking that over anybody else!!" Zoro said through gritted teeth as he and Sanji tried to unleash force on each other to the side. "And we don't have the evidence to back up that claim!! So don't jump to conclusions!! Does a swordsman hurt ladies as well Roronoa Zoro?!!"
"Back off!!! Enough!!!" Rainbow exclaimed as he quickly punches Zoro to the back of the head. "Hey!! What was that for?!!" Zoro asks as he turns back to Rainbow annoyed but the rainbow maned pegasus just huffs crossing her arms over her chest.
"I said get back!!! This isn't helping anyone!!!" Gilda says as she punches Sanji with a clenched fist on top of his head prompting Sanji to back down.
"Well that escalated quickly." Twilight says with a sweatdrop.
"You two sure gave them the reality check alright." Moondancer adds looking at the scenario being cringed out.
"We made them use their heads." Gilda says with a smirk as she and Rainbow give each other a hoofbump.
Nami then looks at Rainbow being unimpressed by what she's trying to point out. "If you want it back then sure!! Why not? Not that I care that is!! And crewmates?! Don't make me laugh!! It was all a stupid little cooperation!!"
"Bullshit.." Applejack says bluntly as Twilight chokes up a bit. That the alicorn princess was about to say something.
"Hey!! Yah can't say that word!!' Apple Bloom stands up and calls her out as she marches over to her sister. "Why when I tell Granny Smith about this, She outha wash your mouth with soap for that kind of language!!"
"Hush Apple Bloom!! Just sit down!! The adults are talking!!" Applejack snapped at her little sister as the filly just stops on her way and huffs.
"I am an adult..!!" Apple Bloom grumbles under her breath in the company of Sweetie Belle, Scootaloo and Spike who tries to calm her down.
"Ehem!! I wouldn't have phrased it like that but yes. Your behavior certainly doesn't line up." Twilight says.
"Nami Chan!! Nami Chan!! Do you remember me? Lets sail together!!" Sanji says in a sing song voice while having heart shaped eyes, waving his arms around in a enthusiastic manner of passion and wiggling around in the air as if his bones had turned into gelatin.
"Shut up!! Can't you see your making things more complicated by butting in?!!" Zoro retorts in an annoyed manner with narrowed eyes.
"What was that?! Don't you know that love is always a hurricane?!" Sanji immediately fired back being annoyed and he glares at Zoro.
"Preach the word Sanji!! Oh chef of the heavens!! He is the angels of the chefs after all!! Giving flavor to the food of the Gods!!" Rarity declared as Pinkie even put an angel robe, a halo and makeshift wings to the fashionista mare making Sanji smirk.
"Oh for the love of God!! Don't encourage him Rarity!! You too Pinkie!! Don't you know how much work I've been putting into getting that guy's mind out of the gutter back at the Baratie?! And Sanji!! Now is not the time for your love nonsense shenanigans!!" Gilda shouts at them.
"And I was just starting to have all the fun..." Pinkie groaned.
"Aww but Gilda...!! Don't be such a drag...!!" Sanji whined making Gilda's eye twitch a bit.
Nami simply shook her head at everything that's happening around her and looks back at Applejack. "What do you even mean? I am totally..." Nami was going to say something but Applejack quickly interrupted her.
"Sugarcube you should know by now that I'm a living lie detector. Sure I'm not one of the most skillful masters of deception but ya are just directly and straight up lying to mah face. It ain't workin I'll you that." Applejack said straight to her face while Nami just grumbled through gritted teeth.
"Don't give me none of that Sister Applejack!! You may be confident in your skills but I'm telling you the truth and this time your wrong!!' Johnny glares hard as he points the accusing finger at Nami. "She's a witch!! If it means she can get her hands into the treasure hidden in her village then she'll gladly join Arlong and even kill people for the sake of it!! She's a coldblooded witch through and through!! You all have been deceived from the start!! I swear I saw her stabbing Usopp!!"
"She what?!!"Fluttershy exclaimed as she brings a wing to her muzzle.
"Usopp?!!" Spike and the Cutie Mark Crusaders cried out being worried for him.
Nami however just talks back to them with that smirk. "Yeah...? So what...? Want to avenge him?"
"What?!" Johnny exclaims as he was taken aback.
"Let me tell you one thing. After the idiotic stunt that Zoro pulled. Arlong wants Roronoa Zoro and all of his companion's heads. No matter how monstrously strong you all may be. You can't beat a real monster."
"What?! Are you serious?! Just let us at the guy!!" Rainbow exclaims.
"I couldn't care less about that." Zoro marches over to Nami and looks at her straight in the face with narrowed eyes. "Where's Usopp?"
"At the bottom of the ocean." Nami says with a smirk while everyone else just watches on and gets shocked at Nami's choice of words.
"That's it!! I've had enough of you!!" Zoro charges at Nami with the aim of slicing her down.
"Wait!! Zoro!! Stop!!" Twilight cried out.
"Zoro please!! Don't do something that you'll regret!!" Moondancer pleaded.
"And I've had enough of you!!" Sanji roared as he was about to land a kick on the moss haired swordsman but he quickly ducks down causing Zoro to back off from Nami.
"The hell did you just say?!! Don't butt in when you don't know the first thing about anything!!" Zoro exclaimed as he was about to swing his sword at Sanji but the Straw Hat chef quickly blocks it with his leg.
"What were you doing about to harm someone without sufficient evidence?!!" Sanji asks with a puff of his cigarette. "Never warrant any woman physical pain of any kind!! Your going to learn that lesson from me!!" Sanji roared thinking about what Zeff taught him when he was a kid about never laying a kick on a woman.
"Its never stopped me!! There will be circumstances when a woman would be forced to fight back!! Because she put herself into that situation in the first place!! I wouldn't back down just because she's a girl!! That's how I grew up!!" Zoro snarled back thinking of his past with Kuina and their dream of becoming the World's Greatest Swordsman as he slashes down but Sanji blocks his weapons with a leg.
"Heh well aren't you quite irritable after your shameful loss." Sanji grinned which made Zoro even more angry at the fact he would made a statement at that but thinking that Sanji was also taking a jab at his childhood past with Kuina and loosing to her in the dojo, even the fact that Kuina got killed from an accident causing Zoro to walk towards the Straw Hat Chef with a murderous glare in his eyes. But this wasn't even the case based on the truth since Sanji was talking about the Mihawk and Zoro duel.
"Zoro!! Wait!! No!! Please don't!!" Fluttershy said as she tries to call them out and starts tearing up seeing Sanji get triggered from Zoro's words and Zoro response to Sanji mocking his defeat from the duel with Mihawk or maybe even Zoro thinking that Sanji was talking about his past with Kuina and even her death.
"I don't think this is fun anymore!! Twilight please do something!!" Pinkie cried out as well as she shakes her alicorn friend.
"I... I don't know what to do in this circumstance Pinkie!! I'm sorry!!" Twilight said in a panicked state.
"You watch your mouth punk!! Or your head will go flying!!" Zoro all enraged threatened to slice down Sanji.
"I'd like to see you try cripple!!" Sanji barked back as he prepares to land a kick at Zoro but another set of impact hits them both just as hard.
"I SAID BACK OFF!!! THAT'S ENOUGH!!!" Two ponies screamed out as Sanji feels Applejack slap him full force in the face causing him to get knocked down at the same time Rainbow Dash punches Zoro just as hard on the cheek as well causing both of them to spit out blood while Applejack and Rainbow stood there huffing and puffing in anger much to the shocked ponies and creatures around.
"This isn't the time to be bickering!! This is en emergency!!" Yosaku alerted them all.
"That's right!! If your going to fight then why don't you do it somewhere other than this island? I'd rather not have outsiders stick their noses or muzzles in these ponies cases to interfere in this island's affairs anymore!! Do you still not get it?! I only stuck around with you for the money!! And now that you don't even have a cent I couldn't care less about you!!"
"But we do have..." Pinkie said as she pulls out a sack of bits from her mane but Nami just kept ranting on.
"If its about the ship I'll give it back. So go find another navigator and go search for your little piece or Equestria to be a prissy pony princess and find your other freaky friends or whatever!! Now get off this island!! Your all an eyesore!!" Nami yells out.
"Just like that?! Your leaving us right now after we came for you to this island?!" Rainbow demanded.
"Nami...?" The Straw Hat kid muttered before he fell down to the ground in a loud thud.
"Brother Luffy?!!" Johnny screamed out.
"I'm gonna sleep." Luffy simply said before closing his eyes in front of all of them.
"Eh what? Your just going to like just lay down there?" Applebloom asks with a tilt of her head.
"I don't think that's very sanitary from what Rarity told me." Sweetie Belle says as she cringes a bit.
"Well he is a pirate. We all are at this point." Spike says with a shrug.
"I still don't understand. He could have just lay down on some thick leaves with branches." Scootaloo added.
"I don't like feel like leaving this island yet and I don't care what's going to happen to this island either.. Besides I feel sleepy so I'm gonna sleep.." Luffy simply responded before closing his eyes.
"Wow. That sounds savage." Gilda answers with a smirk.
"I'm still not getting it.." Spike says as the young dragon gets puzzled by Luffy's actions.
"Yeah... Luffy's right..." Rainbow suddenly said much to the surprise of everybody else around. Rainbow looks at Nami straight in the eyes for a moment before she yawns a bit and stretches out her hooves. "This seems like an awfully nice time for a nap." Rainbow then looks at the sky and shoots up before turning back with a fluffy cloud. "That Arlong guy can do whatever he wants... As long as he doesn't wake me up..." Rainbow gives Nami a smirk before unceremoniously dropping herself by the cloud.
Without another word Nami just quickly sprinted into the opposite direction leaving Twilight and her friends a bit stunned.
"Wow... Even I didn't get that bad when I yelled at Pinkie." Twilight said.
"Hold up! You did what?" Gilda asks as the griffon got a bit surprised at the words of the alicorn princess.
"Its something... We don't like to talk about at all... Things got tense during the Storm King's invasion to say the least." Rarity said as she looks down for a moment.
"Twilight stole the magical pearl from Queen Novo back in Seaquestria because it has the power to turn us into sea ponies so that we could escape to the ocean!!" Pinkie quickly blurted out.
"Pinkie!!!" Twilight yelled out chastising her pink pony friend and blushing bright red all over her face.
"No!! You did not!!" Gilda gasps a bit before turning to Twilight once more with a smirk. "So you have the ways of a thief too huh Princess?" The griffon asks.
"Eh.. Hehehehe.." Twilight laughs nervously as she gets red on the cheeks and fans herself with a wing much to the amusement of her friends.
"Exposed alright.." Pinkie says with a smirk.
"Your all out of your minds! Its as that insane witch just said! Brother Usopp has been killed and Arlong is out to get us!" Yosaku yelled out. "Just what reason do you have for staying in this island any longer?! I for one believe in what Johnny said he saw!!" The bounty hunter added but Twilight and her friends just sat and stand around there looking at him.
"Its only been a short while but I'm afraid that this is where we must part ways. We have no desire to be hunted down and get killed by Arlong!!" Johnny exclaimed.
"Fine." Zoro simply said.
"May we meet again!!" Yosaku called out.
"Take care my brothers!!" Johnny said.
"You too!!" Zoro exclaimed.
"Hey don't forget to run back here and tell us if you meet any of our other lost friends we're looking for!!" Twilight exclaimed.
"Of course Princess!! We'll keep that in mind!! Tell you at once when I we see other pony creatures like you!!" Johnny says back before continuing on their way.
"Remember!! Stay safe out there!!" Moondancer yells out with a wave beside Twilight.
"You too Sis Moondancer!! We'll see ya later!!" Yosaku adds out.
Meanwhile...
"If she really was a cold blooded witch then she wouldn't have covered for me!!" Usopp walks through the town center of Cocoyashi Village all wet and dripping while he thought about what happened earlier.
Flashback...
"How could you... Nami..." Usopp uttered out as he sees Nami stabs his own hand. "For the sake of my own business.. This was the only way.." Nami uttered out as she keeps digging the knife in her own hand.
"If Nami hadn't done that then I would've been surely killed by Arlong." Usopp thought even further. "That octopus dude said that he gave Zoro a ride back to Cocoyashi Village. So the first thing I should do is to meet up with him!"
"Wait a second, Arlong said something about Zoro looking for him as well." Usopp thought. "Don't tell me he's charging straight for Arlong Park?! Damn it!!" Usopp screamed out as he starts to ran out of the town center to look for the moss haired swordsman. "Faster Usopp!! Faster!! Please don't be at Arlong Park Zoro!!" Usopp cried out.
Back with Luffy, Twilight and the rest of the Straw Hats...
"Hey." Sanji uttered out.
"What?" Zoro simply asked.
"You really think Nami killed long nose?" Sanji asks with a puff of his cigarette.
"Who knows? Maybe after I called her 'small time.' She got so pissed off that she really did kill him." Zoro says with a smug look on his face but Twilight and her friends has doubts about the actual story that Zoro is telling now.
"Small time?!!" Sanji asks as suddenly gets pissed off.
"Calm down Sanji. Don't make me come over there again." Gilda exclaimed but Sanji just keeps marching towards Zoro. "Don't do it Sanji. I'm warning you." The griffon adds with a side eye.
"Ahh!! Isn't that Zoro right there?! Together with Luffy, Twilight and all of their other friends!!" Usopp called out as he quickly ran over to them much to the surprise of Twilight and her friends in relief. "Oh thank God!! I thought you've might have gone to Arlong Park and...!!"
"Nami's breasts aren't small time!!" Sanji roared as he was about to land a kick on Zoro but the moss haired swordsman just blocked the cook's leg with the scabbard of his sword. "Is that all you think about you...?!!" Zoro glared back as Usopp spits out a large splatter of blood and breaking a number of his teeth much to the shock of Twilight and her friends.
"Eh?!!" Sanji's jaw drops to the ground at the sight of Usopp.
"Ahhh?!" Zoro's expression has his eyes popping out of his sockets upon seeing Usopp.
"He's alive." Sanji uttered out.
"But maybe not anymore." Zoro added.
"I've said for the last time that I've warned you." Gilda said as Rainbow Dash quickly gives a high speed rainbow colored punch to Sanji's face causing him to tumble down on the ground.
"Hahahaha!! I told you so... Gyah!!" Zoro yelled out as he suddenly sees a kick from Applejack causing Zoro to come crashing down as well apart from Sanji.
"What did I tell you guys about behaving yourselves for the last time?!!" Twilight asks starting to get angry.
"Seriously. You two are harder to babysit than the Cake Twins." Pinkie exclaimed.
"Or the Cutie Mark Crusaders on their sleepover." Fluttershy added as well.
Meanwhile...
"Hey what was that...? Did you hear something...?" Capper asks out while he Pushkin, Mori, Lyra and Bonbon were helping Nojiko harvest tangerines.
"It’s from the house. Go check and I'll catch up with you guys later. "Nojiko said as she picks up the basket of tangerines.
They did so and were welcomed with the sight of Nami throwing things around and tearing apart the interior.
"Hey!! Hey now!! Calm down Missy!!" Mori says as Nami quickly turns around to look at him and immediately throws a vase at the fish creature.
Mori then covers himself and gets himself prepared for the impact but it never came as Pushkin quickly ran over to him and catches the vase with a claw. "You gotta calm down." Pushkin turns to Nami with a serious tone to his voice.
"YOU!! YOU SHUT UP!!!" Nami rages out as she quickly throws a punch at Pushkin yet she was once again stopped by Capper as the cat quickly blocks Nami's fist and twists her around in a way that Nami was now trapped between his arms.
"Ahh.. Ahh.. Ah.. Believe me when I say that I just saved you from getting your hand broken.A snapping turtle creature's resistance to damage even excluding their shell armor is no joke." Capper explain while Nami just keep squirming from between his arms.
"LET ME GO!! GRRR... DAMN FISHMEN!! THEY'VE RUINED MY LIFE!! IF I COULD JUST.." Nami kept thrashing around beyond her exhaustion screaming insults but Capper kept a firm hold on her and Mori was the next one to speak out.
"Listen here. We are aware thanks to your sister that you've got it bad with the fishmen but you have to understand!! We aren't even the same kind of fishmen!! Look at us!! Do we look like any of Arlong's goons at all?!"
By this point Nami was very much tired from having her energy spent from struggling with Capper who looked just as exhausted himself. Seeing her finally calm down he sat in a chair in front of a table that he flips back up with his remaining strength.
An at that Point,Nojiko finally arrives,Looking up at everything.
"Man... Good grief Nojiko... Your sister is a fiesty one..." Capper said.
"Yeah... No kidding..." Nojiko answered nonchalantly to the cat.
"Does it run in your family or what...?" Capper inquired once more but Nojiko just punches him right in the shoulder but Capper just laughs it off.
"Shut up..." Nojiko says being unamused by all of these questions. "Although he's no exactly wrong..." Nojiko thought to herself. She then adressed Nami.
"Nice mess you've made for me Nami.. Now tell me everything.. As if there's anything else for you to break in here so start talking.. Didn't you promised to tell me everything..?" Nojiko said as he takes a nearby chair that has been knocked over and sits in front of Nami.
Nami looks at her with a frown. "Yeah... I promised you..." She said making quotation marks and putting emphasis on 'You' as she looks intensely at the others inside the house while everyone else then rolled their eyes.
Nojiko then looks back at Nami. "So...?"
Nami sighs. "Its nothing really. I just came to rest a bit."
"If you came just to rest then there's no need for you to be breaking everything apart. Also why are you staring at that treasure map so intently if there's nothing wrong?" Nojiko answers back.
"I just loose my cool a bit that's all!!" Nami insisted and Nojiko just sighs.
Nojiko sight,noticing Nami was not letting her know everything. Nojiko and the Rest looked between themselves, then Nojiko asks,"...it was Them,we’ren't they?"
"And you've met them..?" Nami asks being a bit surprised.
"Just the captain but he seemed like a liar.. He had our other guests worked up quite a bit though I really didn't find him really that annoying." Nojiko explained an amused smile being very intrigued. It was then that Nami told Nojiko about everything about Luffy, Twilight and all of her friends because she was just tired of hiding anything anymore from Nojiko and all of her other friends.
Capper, Bonbon, Lyra, Pushkin justs stands over there watching her sleep and even Mori tries to find something to keep her warm and puts a warm blanket on Nami's back while she's asleep by the table.
"I see.. So they have come to bring her back.." Nojiko mused.
"But with Arlong here neither us, her or anyone else on this island is free to put a single claw out without ending it ending in a bloodbath." Capper said as he crossed his arms.
Nojiko nods. "I can see why she'd get so upset.. Friends huh..?"
"What do you mean..?" Lyra asks.
Nojiko rests her head by a hand on the table and starts tearing up as she covered the side of her face. "That's one word.. That hurts Nami more than anything else.." Nojiko said as Lyra was just rendered to get silent upon hearing those words while everyone else just has a look of worry, pity and overall sympathy at the sight of Nami sleeping like that.
Meanwhile...
A citizen from Cocoyashi Village wearing a rainbow peace sign dye t shirt and jeans walks around whistling when a random clown fishman quickly pulls out his flintlock pistol and slams him behind a house. "Give me your fucking money!!" The clown fishman demanded.
"Alright!! Alright man!! Here!! Here!! Take it!!" The villager quickly said as he pulls out his cash and gives it to the cigarette smoking fishman and stuffs it in his pocket. "Come on man!! Don't shoot me!!" The villager begged when.. "Ahhh!!" The man yelled out in pain as a pufferfish man bashes him on the forehead with the handle of his flintlock pistol causing blood to gush out as both the clownfish man and the pufferfish man both puncture his forehead with their lit up cigarettes causing him to scream and cry out in pain. "Fuck Human!!" The pufferfish man from Arlong's crew yells out as he shoots the man six times on the chest and one of the head alarming the citizens of Cocoyashi Village where the gunshot was. It was loud that even Twilight and her friends could hear it from the outskirts of town.
Later...
On the other side of the island two fishmen resembling a clownfish and a pufferfish of the Arlong Pirates are talking. "Hey give me a hand with this guy will you?" The clownfish man said to his fellow pirate crew as he starts dragging the bodybag of the man that was just shot earlier.
"Yeah.. Yeah..." The pufferfish man said huffing and puffing as he stops to take a breathe from all of the shoveling and helps out his fellow comrade.
"Hey why did we wack this citizen of Cocoyashi Village anyway? He's a stand up guy!!" The clownfish man said with a laugh pretending to care about the dead innocent they were going to bury.
"I don't know!! Something about money!!" The pufferfish man said with a laugh.
"What? He's too ugly to live and needs to be taught a lesson? Hahahaha!!" The clownfish man grinned.
"Nah. He needs closure. That's why he needed to go." The pufferfish man answered with a smirk as he helps the clownfish man carry the body bag to the designated destination.
"Ahh!! I get it!! Hahahaha!!" The clownfish man said with a laugh.
"Yeah he was having still living comfortably so I have the conclusion that he still has too much money!! So we have to target a new guy in whom we see suspicious!!" The pufferfish man explain as he kicks the body bag into the deep ground. "So this guy gets capped so we get a get girl in named Nami. Whom everybody bullies. And when she misbehaves.."
"We dig another hole." The clownfish man said.
"Exactly." The pufferfish man added as they both start to both get shovels and bury the body bag before splitting up the money they robbed from the guy.
"Usopp!! Did Nami did this to you?!" Luffy asks in a panicked state as he held unto Usopp's unconscious body.
"Uhh no. That was actually he and I." Sanji answered with a sheepish grin, sporting a hoof mark on his face.
"You mean just you. Zoro said bearing a hoof mark on his cheek as well.
Applejack raised an eyebrow at the moss haired swordsman being unimpressed at the sight of his actions lately.
"Uhh!! Yeah!! Us!! Sorry!!" Zoro quickly corrected his words and apologized having earned Applejack's satisfaction with the way he used his words and the apple farmer mare smiled.
Usopp then recovers from his unconscious state soon enough and shot up. "Luffy!! Twilight!! All of you guys are here too?!" Usopp asks as he turns around and looks at everyone else.
"Yup!!" Luffy answered with a grin.
"Yeah we decided to come along too!! Nice to meet you!!" Sanji says with a wave of his hand as he presents himself and Gilda.
"You!! I'll swear I'll kill you one of these days!!" Usopp ranted out as he grabs Sanji's shirt collar as the long nosed sniper of the Straw Hats has his jaw dropped down to the ground and his eyes popping out his head in a comedic manner. Angry at Sanji for kicking a tooth out of his bloody mouth.
"Awww come on. Your fine aren't you? Tough it up." Gilda says as Zoro, Sanji and Usopp gets treated by Twilight through her healing magic but Usopp just looks unamused at the griffin.
"In any case. The problem now is Nami. She actually saved my life." Usopp said as he explained to them all the truth of what he witnessed.
"Called it." Applejack said with a knowing smile.
"That sure is reassuring!!" Rarity said.
"YAY!! SHE'S STILL OUR FRIEND!! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR REASSURING US USOPP!!" Pinkie Pie cheered out and before Usopp could say anything she pulled Usopp into a tight hug.
"Uhh Pinkie...?" Twilight tried to say as she looks at how Usopp's face was getting even more blue. "H... He... He needs to breathe..."
"Oh... Oh..!!!" Pinkie said as she quickly lets go of Usopp and immediately the teen sniper of the Straw Hats quickly start to take deep breathes.
"Sorry!! Earth Pony Strength gets to be too strong sometimes I forget how to control it!!" Pinkie apologized.
"Don't worry about It." Usopp said as he reassured the pink party pony once he recovered. "If you ask me.. There's a reason on why she ended up joining the Arlong Pirates!!"
"Its useless. No matter what you do. You won't be able to change Arlong's rule in these parts." A woman said crossing her arms over her chest but only Usopp recognize who she is and the friends she brought along with her.
"Nojiko!!" Usopp quickly turned around as he saw the spectator of their talks.
"Hey girls!! Your here!!" Twilight said as she quickly ran over to Lyra, Bonbon, Capper, Pushkin and Mori.
"Who is she?" Luffy asks as he points a finger at Nojiko.
"She's Nami's sister." Usopp explained.
"N... Nami's sister?!! Its no wonder why she's so beautiful then!!" Sanji screamed out as he starts bouncing around with heart shaped eyes, hearts fluttering all around himmand even his cigarettes smoke turned to heart shapes as well.
"Oh boy... Here we go again..." Gilda says with a face claw being embarrassed at how Sanji was acting. "Don't get too crazy or else I'm going to have to take action again."
"Ahh come on Gilda!! Lighten up!! Isn't that young love that you see right there? Why get in the way of their romance?" Rarity asks swooning all around as the fashionista mare was even about to fall down with a loving sigh.
"Huh?! Romance?! What are you talking about Rarity?! Oh puh lease!! Every pretty face has that idiot flopping like a fish out of water." Gilda says with a laugh.
"What do you mean useless?" Zoro bluntly asked.
"Just means what it means. I won't tell you and you all better leave right now." Nojiko answered them as she just stands there tapping her foot impatiently when Sanji slowly approaches Nojiko dancing and swaying around in a waltz manner before putting a rose in his mouth.
"Did he always have that with him in his suit?" Pinkie curiously asks.
"I don't know what's going on with him anymore and these antics... This is one of them. Although its kinda funny you of all creatures who are wondering about someone pulling out random stuff."Gilda says with a sweatdrop.
"Well how about if you get a taste of my food Nojiko Chan..? After all they say the way to a woman's heart is through her stomach... And I just have the key to it..." Sanji says in a smooth manner as Nojiko gets caught off guard to the dance. "You tango..? Maybe we can have a dance after all these gets over with..."
"Okay then... You have a deal..." Nojiko says with a blush as she looks into Sanji's eyes as he slowly presents the leftover food that they have been feasting earlier but just the smell is already heavenly as Nojiko gets a taste of Sanji's soup.
"Girls!! Your here!!" Twilight says as she and her friends quickly ran over to reunite with Lyra, Bonbon, Capper, Mori and Pushkin happy that they're safe. Lyra and Bonbon were so happy to see Moondancer, Twilight, Lemon Hearts, Twinkleshine, Minuette while Rarity was delighted to see Capper again after what happened during Twilight's Coronation. Pinkie is ecstatic to see Minuette and all of Twilight's Canterlot Friends and especially her new buddies Mori and Pushkin the fish creatures from Klugetown along with Capper. Even Rainbow Dash is happy to see Capper and even introduces him to Gilda.
