Chereads / One Piece: Another Chance (Completed) / Chapter 23 - Fishman Island

Chapter 23 - Fishman Island

Viper was pinning down Zoro on the deck when Nami walked up to him and gave him Nimbus and a bunch of papers. Viper grabbed the papers and said "What is this?" Zoro took the oppertunity to run away and Nami said "That is all the knowledge of Weatherian technology. I had them upgrade nimbus slightly, but I want you to finish it." Viper read through the papers and said "Do I look like an upgrade machine to you?" Nami giggled and nodded. Viper grit his teeth and mumbled "Damn vixen, one of these days..." as he called Ussop and Franky and went to the Lab.

Nami watched him go and Robin said "Think he had any women when he was training?" Nami said "Yeah, maybe one? Good thing he didn't go to Amazon lily.." Robin giggled and said "At least it doesn't effect us, fortunately." Nami sighed and said "I really hope it doesn't, that's gonna make things sure awkward." as she walked away.

Viper was sitting in the lab reading the Weatherian notes, he put them down and said "Get me the tools, I'm going to rebuild it. I want you two to go over the notes and think of anything you can, Ussop is it possible to add a pop green to make it grow?" Ussop read the notes and rubbed his chin saying "It should be." Viper nodded and said "Franky, think we can add Wapometal for the base?" Franky said "You want to restart from scratch?!" Viper nodded and said "We can mix Wapometal with popgreens and create a composite, I want you to test that now. Ussop can the pop greens work with metals?" Ussop nodded and Viper said "Help Franky see if a composite is possible. I'm gonna go ask Nami if she want's an A.I in it." he got up and walked out, Ussop and Franky watched him go and said "If it works this thing is going to be a monster."

Viper walked over to Nami and Robin and said "I want permission to put intelligence into Nimbus." Nami hesitated and said "Like the robot stuff?" Viper nodded and said "It will allow Nimbus to talk and think for itself, because Nimbus is already alive. It's like making a collar for a dog so it can speak." Robin said "Is it necessary? Doesn't it already understand her?" Viper nodded and said "It does, honestly I don't know what will happen. There are a few scenarios that are.." he frowned "Unfavorable.."

Nami said "Unfavorable? Like what?" Viper said "He could develop individual thoughts and decide he doesn't want to be controlled anymore and rebel or try and kill you. He might be really annoying, or a pervert. He could also have an existential crisis and implode." Nami paled "Pervert?!" Robin said "That's what your worried about?" Viper just chuckled and Nami said "What else?"

Viper said "Best case scenario, he can speak and communicate with you without having you to say what you want. You can plan what to do before hand, basically he can just speak is the gimmick." Nami said "I'll pass. You're not a very good sales man." Viper chuckled and said "I can build you a robot dog that can speak and bark. I can build you anything you want, if I get the materials I can even create an invisible suit." he smirked and said "I can do anything." Nami rolled her eyes and said "Save it for your princess." Viper gripped her chin and said "I was already planning that." before he let go and walked back laughing. Nami grit her teeth and said "Damn flirty bastard..." Robin just giggled.

Viper walked back into the lab and said "Scrap the A.I how is it going with the composite?" Franky turned around and said "Good, just waiting for it to harden." Viper nodded and opened his laptop, seeing the background he blushed and quickly clicked some buttons hiding it. Ussop and Franky smirked and said "So that's her eh?" Viper was embarrassed and said "You can't tell anyone else only Robin and Zoro know." as he started typing on the computer fast.

Ussop and Franky grinned at each other and said "Weeeell you know, maybe if we had some incentive..." Viper said "You get nothing and I don't tell Kaya that you were thinking of other girls." Ussop paled and said "But that's not true!" Viper smirked and said "She doesn't know that. hehehe" Ussop snapped "You bastard!" Viper chuckled and said "Franky I will rebuild you to be more sleek when you're sleeping." Franky paled and said "But then I won't be SUPER!!"

Viper laughed and said "Speaking of rebuilding, Ussop how is your new weapon? Do you still have the seastone on it?" Ussop shook his head and said "It's completely different." Viper was confused and said "You didn't even put dials in it?" Ussop said "I didn't." Viper kept typing on the computer as he said "Why not? Wouldn't make your shots faster and stronger?" Ussop shook his head and said "It won't because it's made of pop greens and get much bigger.." Ussop started explaining how the Kuro Kabuto worked, Viper nodded and said "Oh I see, that's pretty smart." Ussop blushed and said "Well you know.." Viper chuckled and pressed a button, while grabbing the little robot and plugging wires into the robot and the computer, the robot vibrated and opened his eyes.

Viper said "Hello." as he took out the wires from the robot and the computer. The little robot said "Hello, master." Franky and Ussop were shocked, Viper chuckled and said "I gave you a hyper A.I, you don't need to call me master. My name is Viper, i'll call you... Cane." Cane nodded and said "Hello, Viper." Viper gave the little robot a high five and said "This is Ussop and this is a cyborg named Franky." as he pointed to the duo. Can turned and said "Hello Ussop, Franky. I'm Cane, nice to meet you." Ussop and Franky greeted him and Franky said "Viper are you sure this is a good idea?"

Cane turned to Viper and said "Am I a mistake?" Viper shook his head and said "You're not." he smiled and said "It's very dangerous for you." Cane nodded and said "I understand." Viper picked him up and put him on his shoulder while saying "Want to meet the rest of your friends?" Cane nodded and they walked out, Ussop and Franky looked at each other and followed after him.

Viper walked out on the deck and pointed at Zoro and said "That's Zoro, he's half-grass." Cane said "Hello Zoro. I'm Cane" Zoro stared at Viper and said "Hey." Viper walked off and said "Those two are Nami and Robin." Cane greeted them and Viper moved on to Sanji and said "That's Sanji, he's a big pervert but he never gets any girls." Can said "Hello Sanji the pervert." Sanji snapped "Who are you calling a pervert you little tin can?!" Cane said "Did he just insult me?" Viper nodded and said "He's quite rude. He IS a pervert after all." Viper moved on to Brook and said "This is Brook, he is a literal skeleton." Cane said "How is he alive?" Viper said "I've never tested that before.."

Brooke sweat a bit and said "I'm a soul. Yohoho please don't make me a test subject my heart can't handle it.. Oh wait I don't have a heart Yohohhohhoho!" Viper chuckled and pointed at Chopper and said "He's Chopper a reindeer-human hybrid" Cane said "Did you create him too?" Viper shook his head and said "No, although I probably could..." Chopper ran away.

Viper said "And the guy with the hat is Luffy. He ate a fruit that turned his body into rubber." Luffy jumped in front of cane and picked him up and said "Nice to meet you! You're so cool! Can you fire lasers!?" Cane nodded and said "Yes I was made that way." Viper smiled and Zoro dragged him away while Luffy was playing with Cane.

The rest pf the crew surrounded Viper and said "How far advanced is he?" Viper said "Not capable of individual thought. He will do anything I tell him to do. Like I said he's just a lab helper I can upload any knowledge into him. He knows about robotics and mechanics so far." The crew nodded and Zoro said "Keep it that way." Viper nodded and went back to watch Cane and Luffy.

A while later

The Sunny finally arrived at Fishman Island. Viper put Cane in the lab after shutting him down and sighed as he looked at him before leaving. He felt bad, he didn't want to limit him but it was too dangerous to make him smarter. Viper said "One day, you will be free. I promise." as he reached the deck.

He was immediately greeted by a fish man, Viper said "Who are you?" the fish man said "I'm a daggertooth piked conger, name's Hammond." Viper frowned and said "A what?" Hammond said "A daggertooth piked conger." Viper said "Why is that so long? I can't even remember the first thing you said. A piketooth diger conch?" Viper was extremely confused, the crew looked confused too. Hammond snapped "A DAGGERTOOTH PIKED CONGER!" Viper just waved his hand and said "Whatever you say man, what do you want?"

Hammond said "Join the new fish-man pirates or die." the crew looked at each other and Viper said "Uh Do you need glasses?" Hammond said "What? Why would I need glasses?" Viper pointed at himself and said "Obviously we are not fishmen how could we even join a fish man only crew? Are you an idiot?" Hammond snapped "When did I say it was a fishman exclusive crew?!" Viper said "So the rest of the crew is conchpiked tooth dagger fish like you?" Hammond was so angry he almost died and said "It's a dagger-" he sighed and said "No they're not. They're all different." the crew paled and Ussop said "They all have super long names too?!" Chopper fainted.

Hammond literally coughed up blood from anger and said "Then I guess you choose death." Franky used a Coup De Burst and the Sunny shot towards Fishman Island but the coating wore off and the Sunny got caught in a current sending the crew flying, separating them.

Viper woke up in a cell. He looked around and called out "Hello?!" a fish man guard walked in and said "Shut up!" Viper was a bit taken aback and said "Excuse you. I woke up in a cell with no explanation. I think you would want to know where you were if this happened to yourself no?" The guard said "I guess that makes sense. You were arrested and are currently in the palace for illegal entry to fishman island." Viper snapped "Are you serious?! Why would an Island that is the only know destination to be the benchmark between the grandline and the new world be illegal to enter?!" he took a deep breath and said "Let me out of this cell and I won't have to get out myself." the guard sneered and said "I'd like to see you try."

Viper stepped back and punched the cell with a tremor fist, blowing the cage up. He walked out and grabbed the guard and said "Now i'm gonna have to hurt you, isn't that unfortunate." as he punched the guard in the face, sending him crashing through the door. Viper stepped over his unconscious body and left.

Viper was walking around the palace and walked into a huge power room. He looked up and saw a giant merman with an orange beard and a crown, he said "I guess you're the king?" the king said "I'm Neptune. Who are you?" Guards rushed into the room and surrounded Viper.

Viper looked around and said "A couple guards won't work." as he lifted his fist and covered it in a white light. Neptune's pupils restricted and shouted "STOP!" Viper paused and said "What." a guard took the opportunity and stabbed at Viper. Neptune paled and said "NO!" as Viper got stabbed with a spear, he winced in pain and the guard was confused, Viper turned to him and smashed his fist in his face, creating cracks all over his body as the guard flew back like a rocket through one of the walls. Viper held his side and said "You tricked me?!" Neptune paled and said "No! I never told them to attack!" Viper said "A bit late for that no?"

Neptune seethed and said "Execute the guard who stabbed him and get a doctor here right now!" the other guards dragged the guard that stabbed Viper off and a doctor soon walked into the room. He walked over and started checking Viper's wound, he cleaned it up and stopped the bleeding "Minor punctures, you'll be fine in a few days." he bandaged the wound and left.

Viper was sitting on the ground and said "Why?" Neptune said "Who is Whitebeard to you?" Viper frowned and said "He's my old man. I became a son two years ago, about a week before his death." Neptune said "How do you hold his power?" Viper sighed and explained what happened. Neptune was amazed and said "He really was a great man. This Island was under his protection before he died. He would stop by every time he passed by" Neptune sighed and teared up as he thought about him and said "He was one of my closest friends, I miss him dearly. I helped him on several occasions before I became king.." Neptune started talking about his adventure with Whitebeard, occasionally laughing.

Viper listened to Neptune with a smile and laughing at the funny parts and being sad when he realized he wasn't there anymore. Neptune finished and said "What is your dream, human?" Viper said "I never knew who my family was, my dream even before I met the old man was to have a family. Now I have his will.." he raised his hand and activated his tremor fruit, he stared at it and continued "I will try to use his- no MY power to achieve my dream and keep my family safe as well as make him proud." Neptune stared at Viper for a while and said "Minister of the left!" a man with a long tail came into the room and said "Yes, my king?" Neptune said "Bring me our best Sake! And two bowls!" the man bowed and left.

When he returned there were two huge bowls placed in front of Viper and Neptune. Viper said "What is this?" Neptune said "You remind me of Whitebeard, not your power but your spirit and will! I want to make you a friend-jamon" Viper was shocked and said "But you were friends with the old man! Why would you want to be friends with me?!" Neptune picked up his bowl and said "I didn't ask for your opinion-jamon. I'm gonna do it anyway!" Viper picked up his bowl and drank with Neptune, he finished off the huge bowl and said "You're just like the old man! He did the same thing, when he made me a son!" Neptune said "Hohhohhohhohhohhoh It IS like him to do that!" he slapped his arm rest and laughed. Viper smiled wryly as he watched Neptune laugh. Viper started to share his experiences with Whitebeard and how he met him with Neptune, causing Neptune to laugh again at Viper's stubborness for fighting the old man over and over again.

A blue haired merman cam into the room and saw Viper drinking with Neptune and said "Father who is this?" Neptune said "Fukaboshi! This is my new friend Viper! He's one of Whitebeard's sons!" Fukaboshi waved and said "Nice to meet you Viper." before he turned to Neptune and said "The Strawhats are here as you requested father." Viper said "Nice to meet you too, and you found my crew?" Fukaboshi nodded and said "They're in the banquet hall." Neptune said "Let's go see them! I still need to thank them for saving Megalo." and the trio left.

They arrived in the banquet hall and Viper saw some of the crew and said "Hey guys! Where are the rest?" Nami sighed and said "Luffy wandered off, Sanji is getting treatment with Chopper, Robin went to see historical things and Franky went to find his teacher's brother." Viper nodded and sat down to eat.

A while later

A loud noise was heard, Neptune said "It's coming from Shirahoshi's room!" Viper stood up and said "I'll go take a look, don't worry about it. Which way is it?" Fukaboshi said "I'll come with you." Viper nodded and the two left. Neptune said "So how do you know Viper, little humans." the crew sighed and started talking about Viper with him, while he laughed at their stories.

Viper and Fukaboshi opened the door to Shirahoshi's room and saw Luffy stuffing her into Megalo. Viper laughed and said "Hey Luffy! What are you doing?" Luffy saw Viper and said "Hey Viper! I'm bringing the crybaby out for a walk!" Shirahoshi teared up and said "I'm not a cry baby!" as tears fell from her eyes. Viper, Luffy, and Fukaboshi deadpanned and all said "You're crying right now." Shirahoshi said she wasn't crying, while crying, Viper gave Fukaboshi a look and he shrugged. Viper sighed, before snapping his head to the door and catching an axe.

He said "That's dangerous." Fukaboshi seethed and said "It was Vander decken, he has a devil fruit that marks people he touches. He can throw anything and it will fly towards the target." Viper looked out the door and surrounded the axe in white light, before throwing it back with all his strength. The axe flew through the island and a huge explosion was heard, Viper said "You think I got him?" Fukaboshi went slack-jawed and said "I think you might've got more than him."

Luffy cheered and said "Woah! That was cool!" Viper chuckled and said "Princess do you feel any different?" Shirahoshi shook her head and Viper sighed "Looks like I missed.." Luffy said "Crybaby, let's go!" as he jumped on Megalo and left going towards the sea forest. Viper and Fukaboshi watched them go and Fukaboshi said "Should we go after them?" Viper said "Luffy is stronger than me. She'll be fine" before he walked out of the room, Fukaboshi followed him and they returned to the banquet hall.

Viper reached the banquet hall and saw a bunch of pirates tied up on the ground. Viper said "Why are there problems in every room I go to in this place?" Zoro chuckled and said "Some fishman named Hody Jones is trying to do a hostile takeover of the palace." Viper rubbed his temples and said "Can't we just go beat the shit out of him?" Zoro said "I'd like to, then we can leave."

All of a sudden the door opens revealing a group of fishmen, with a shark fish man and a fishman with several legs. Neptune said "Hody! Vander Decken!" Hody sneered and said "Am I not invited?" Neptune said "What's your motive?!" Hody laughed and said "I'm here to take over the palace of course! Why are there humans here?"

Viper said "You're Hody and I guess you're Vander Decken?" the duo nodded and Viper chuckled and said "Did you like my present? That axe you threw was quite fast." Vander Decken said "You threw it back?!" Viper laughed and sat in a chair, he leaned on his fist and said "Guilty as charged, although I guess I missed."

Vanden decken said "You made me lose Shirahoshi's mark!" Viper sighed and said "But I didn't kill you, why did you come here?" Hody said "Shut up human! You're just an inferior species." Viper rolled his eyes and said to Zoro "Do we really have to listen to this speech again?" Zoro chuckled and sat down, drinking from his cup.

Viper said "Let me guess, Fishmen are 10x stronger than humans and can breathe underwater as well as on land making them the superior species? I've already heard it from a fishman named Arlong. Why can't you say something new?" the rest of the fishmen smiled wryly and Fukaboshi said "Uh, that's it really there's nothing else to say..." Viper said "Oh, i'm sorry I didn't mean any offense." as he scratched the back of his head sheepishly.

Hody said "You knew Arlong?! I was supposed to be his right hand man! He taught me about you disgusting humans." Viper said to Nepture "Why don't you just execute fishmen that think like that? Wouldn't that be better?" Neptune sighed and said "He was corrupted, it's not his fault. Plus that would scare the citizens." Viper nodded and said "I guess so, but you also wouldn't be in danger like this." Neptune was thinking silently.

Hody became angry and said "Stop ignoring me!" Zoro said "Can I cut him now?" Viper complained "I haven't done anything either, why do you get to go first?" Zoro smirked "Because i'm higher on the list." Viper's mouth opened slightly and he said "You half-grass bastard I can't believe you would bring that up!" Zoro snapped "Who you calling a half-grass bastard you rainbow haired freak!" Viper stood up and said "Oi! Who you calling freak you one-eyed blender!" Zoro choked his words back and seethed as he took out his swords and said "You want to see a blender garden snake?" Viper grinned and drew Sotohebi and said "You think I won't kick your ass mosshead?" Zoro and Viper clashed with their swords as they turned black.

Nami snapped and punched both of them in the head and said "Fight the intruders! Not each other!" Viper and Zoro got up and Viper said "Who ever takes more out wins." Zoro grinned and said "What are we betting?" Viper cackled madly "Your cybernetic eye! Kehahahah" Zoro shivered and charged at the fishmen, Viper cackled like a madman and jumped in the air towards the fishmen.

Viper slashed and jumped towards fishman after fishman, slashing and hacking before lunging at Vander Decken with a crazed grin. Sotohebi turned black as he swung towards his head, Vander Decken dodged and tried to hit Viper, but Viper had already dodged before Vander Decken even threw the punch. Viper threw a tremor punch before sending a wind blade at him, cutting him in the chest and moving on to a new fishman. Zoro was keeping up with him and they were even so far.

Viper charged towards Zoro and said "Give me a boost at Hody!" Zoro blinked before grinning and crossed his swords in a 'X' shape, Viper's feet turned black and he jumped on the swords. Zoro slashed him off and Viper jumped shooting towards Hody and spinning in the air, before Sotohebi was covered in a white light and Viper smashed it a Hody.

"Tremor Snake Demon Fang!"

Sotohebi smashed Hody in the chest, creating cracks all over his body and sending shooting out of the palace like a missile. Viper landed on the ground and put Sotohebi on his shoulder and watched him go, he whistled and said "Man, he went far!" he looked around and saw all the fishmen we're down and said "How many you get?" Zoro said "25 if you count Hody." Viper sighed and said "24 even with Hody, you damn lucky bastard.." Zoro laughed and said "Looks like I win." the rest of the people in the room were in awe of the sheer power. Nami said "So you two got a lot stronger..." They both grinned and Viper all of a sudden flew towards Zoro and slashed at him "I still haven't forgotten what you said mosshead." while laughing. Zoro stopped him with one sword and said "Me neither garden snake." and the two started fighting again.

Nami sighed and said to Neptune "Shouldn't you lock these guys up?" Neptune blinked and said "Yes, guards! Lock them all up and put seastone cuffs on Vander Decken!" the guards quickly dragged the unconscious fishmen out of the room to the cells.

Viper and Zoro were still fighting when Luffy, Sanji, Chopper, Hatchi, Shirahoshi, Megalo, and Franky arrived. Luffy said "Why are they fighting?" Nami snapped "I don't know! They just started fighting after they beat a bunch of fishmen that invaded the palace!" Luffy shrugged and said "Yo big shark! Spit out crybaby now!" Megalo spit Shirahoshi out and sent her flying, coincidentally Viper and Zoro just backed away from eachother.

Shirahoshi crashed into Viper, crushing him with her breasts. Nami slapped her forehead and said "It's back..." Sanji paled and mumbled "No.. my mermaid princess..." as he fell to his knees.

Shirahoshi pushed herself up with her hands but her hand slipped on some blood that was on the floor and fell back on Viper lips first, kissing his entire face. Nami's eyes widened with horror and said "It's stronger now!!" Sanji passed out due to shock.

Shirahoshi quickly pushed herself off of Viper and said with a red face "I'm so sorry! Are you okay?!" Viper mumbled "Why are you so big.. I almost died.." he got up and said "Heheh sorry about that Nepture. It wasn't on purpose." he chuckled nervously, Neptune fainted as well.

A few minutes later

Neptune woke up and coughed "Don't worry about it! Your friends told me it happens all the time." Viper said "I think this is the 7th? 8th time?" Sanji flashed in front of Viper and shook him "Where did you get this blessing?! I need it!" Viper said "I don't know, God?" he felt someone giving him a thumbs up for some reason and Sanji said "It's hopeless.. I'm finished.." Viper whispered in his ear "It doesn't work on Nami or Robin..." Sanji brightened up and shot towards Nami, holding her hand and saying "Nami-swan I would steal from all the banks in the world for you!"

Viper shook his head and said "Luffy where did you go?" Luffy said "We went to the sea forest, Robin is still there she said something about a pony or something. What happened here?" Viper slapped himself and said "A poneglyph? and a bunch of fishmen..." he explained what happened and what Hody said. Luffy said "So why don't we go kick his ass? Franky's brother is coating our ship, when we're finished our ship will be ready!"

Viper nodded and said "Good, I was getting bored." he turned to Neptune and said "How about we take care of this problem for you? The we can come back and have another drink?" Neptuned laughed and said "That would be great!" Viper chuckled and said "Don't worry about it. Where's there base?" Hatchi said "I know where it is." Luffy said "Let's go kick their asses and come back and party!" Zoro grinned and jumped on Megalo, the rest followed him and Hatchi brought them to Hody's base, Shirahoshi and the princes followed after them.

The crew ran into Robin and Jinbe on the way and picked them up as they continued towards Hody.

The crew arrived and landed on the ground in front of the New Fish-man Pirates, as Luffy said "Who's Hody!" the rest of the crew and Jinbe stood behind Luffy, Viper grinned and took out Sotohebi. He was feeling excited by the sheer number of fishmen and said "So many targets.." Zoro said "Same rules?" Viper sneered "You secretly want the robot eye don't you?" Sanji said "I want in." as he lit up a cigarette. Franky turned into General Franky, a giant Robot, and Chopper bit on a rumble ball turning into monster point. Nami took out Nimbus and Robin crossed her arms, while Brook unsheathed his cane sword and Jinbe got in his fishman karate stance, Ussop pulled his slingshot back and chuckled.

Luffy smiled at his crew and Hody stood up, he was taller now and had white hair with more muscle on his body, he sneered and said "I have 100,000 fishmen to your 11 pirates, you think you can win?" Luffy walked forward and sent out a Conqueror's Haki wave knocking 50,000 fishmen unconscious as he said "I don't care how many people you have I'll take them all on!" as he grew and sent a large group of fishmen flying.

Viper complained "Luffy! No fair! You can't take them all!" as he jumped into a group of fishmen and slammed the ground with a tremor strike on Sotohebi, sending them all flying. He stood up and cackled "I think that was 100! I hope you enjoy your new eye blender!" he laughed like a madman as he charged through groups and groups of fishmen.

Zoro and Sanji grit their teeth and charged into their own groups, Zoro was frantically slashing fishmen and Sanji was kicking out groups at a time, unwilling to lose to either of them. Jinbe and the princes started fighting too as they decimated groups of fishmen pirates.

Viper was flying around the battlefield and laughing as he struck down another group of fishmen when a hammerhead shark fishman swung a hammer at him. Viper jumped back and said "You look special, what's your name?" he replied "Dosun." Viper licked his lips and said "Nice to meet you I hope you don't bore me." as he charged towards Dosun swinging a black Sotohebi towards his head.

Dosun blocked it with his hammer and Viper jumped in the air and flipped before slamming Sotohebi down on him.

"Double-headed Fang!"

Dosun held his hammer up and was struggling against Viper's sheer power. Viper hybrid transformed and flew into the air before shooting back down in a spiral and slamming down on Dosun again, sending him flying. Viper landed on the ground as he shook his wings and swung his tail side to side, he looked over and saw a fishman sneaking up on Luffy. Viper grinned and flew towards him, appearing right behind Luffy and blocking the sword with his own as he said "Can't you see my captain is going towards yours? Not very nice of you." and pushed the fishmen away and said "Kinda reminds me of marineford, what about you Luffy?" Luffy chuckled and said "A bit.." he clenched his fist and said "But we're stronger now." Viper went silent and said "Yeah, way stronger now.. We won't lose anyone else." Luffy grinned and said "Never again." before they both shot towards their opponents.

Viper smashed Sotohebi covered in white light at the fishmen, creating huge cracks in the air sending hundreds of fishmen flying. He flew into the air and full transformed before he dived down and flipped slamming his white coated tail into the middle of the battlefield, causing the ground to crack and shake. The fishmen were all sent flying, and the fighting stopped the crew and surviving fishmen turned to look at Viper.

He reverted to his human form and was standing with his back facing the crew and Sotohebi on it. He held his hand up and formed a rotating wind ball with a condensed white light in the middle, it grew as he looked at the remaining fishmen he gripped it and threw it towards the fishmen.

"Tremor Rasengan!"

The sphere flew towards the remaining fishmen and exploded, blowing them all away. Viper clenched his fist and said "I will protect them.." to himself, before turning around and smiling "I think maybe I won. Would you like a certain color?" Zoro snapped "How is that fair?! You used both your fruits, you rainbow-haired bastard!" Viper chuckled and said as he looked around "There's no one left except Hody and Luffy's gonna be done soon.." he drew Sotohebi and said "I think we have time, if you beat me you don't have to get your new eye.. Wanna gamble?" as he grinned and swung Sotohebi from side to side. Sotohebi audibly buzzed as if to mock Zoro, and Viper chuckled "If your too scared, I guess we can just cancel you implant procedure.." he blocked the oncoming slash with Sotohebi.

Zoro had his bandanna on and three swords out as he said "Why would I be scared of a garden snake?" Viper grinned and pushed Zoro off as he said "Did Mihawk tell you we fought at Marineford?" and he clashed with Zoro again, who said "He didn't. How did you do?"

Viper flipped away and jumped in the air slashing Sotohebi down, he rolled his eyes and said "He used Kogatana. I didn't even make him move a single step." Zoro blocked his sword and slashed at Viper with his own while saying "Welcome to the club, remember at the Baratie? And what happened after you don't have any scars."

Viper blocked the strike with his left arm covered in Haki, he flipped back and shot forward and slashed up, saying "Yeah, I remember. And I got lucky, Luffy smashed a marine ship down stopping the entire battlefield, I rushed towards him because they landed in water." Zoro blocked him and said "Wow, and I got two scars from him..." as they clashed again.

The rest just watched with deadpan expressions at the duo's fight/conversation. Nami sighed and said "Why do they have to be like this?" Robin said "It's better fighting us." Nami perked up and said "Ah, you're right!" the rest of the crew, Jinbe, the princes, and Shirahoshi were playing cards. Ussop laid down his cards and said "Full house!" Shirahoshi teared up and said "I only have four A's, I hate this game!" as she threw her cards down, showing four of a kind. The rest threw their cards down and cursed.

Luffy finished off Hody and Neptune arrived with the royal guards and captured all the New fishman pirates. Luffy came up to Jinbe and said "Join my crew!" Jinbe was shocked and said "I can't! I have other duties, but when I'm done with them if you still want me, I will join." Luffy cheered and said "He joined!" Jinbe was about to slap him and said "I said not yet!" Luffy paused and threw his hands up and said "He said soon!" Jinbe sighed and Neptune invited all the strawhats to a party/banquet. The crew cheered and followed Neptune back to the palace before moving out to the plaza so the other citizens could party with them.

Viper was dancing with a mermaid and drinking along with his crew, the crew watched as the mermaid he was dancing with whispered something in his ear and winked at him, to which he nodded. The mermaid smiled and dragged him away. Sanji seethed and was held back by Franky and Zoro he said "That rainbow-haired fuck! I'll kill him! My mermaids!" Nami and Robin looked at each other and held up four fingers and shook their heads.

He came back three hours later with his hair let down and messed up, Nami said "Have fun?" Viper chuckled and said "She was crazy. I was going for a whole two and a half hours!" Sanji snapped "And you left her there?!" Viper said "She can't move at the moment and she DEFINITELY doesn't want to be seen how she is right now." He sighed and said "Literally go get any mermaid here and dance with them a little bit, you'll see they're all horned up!" an arm grew out of his shoulder and slapped him in the head, he rubbed the back of his head and chuckled before giving Sanji a thumbs up. Sanji grinned and left.

Viper sat down and started drinking as he said "Whew, when will we meet my princess." he sighed and seemed sad. Robin rolled her eyes and said "If you keep doing what you just did, you might just have a kid before you ever meet her." Viper said "I always ask if they take pills before. I would rather not leave a poor kid fatherless." the crew raised a brow and Zoro said "If you did have a kid?" Viper blinked and said "Then the mother and the kid are coming with us..." he sucked in a breath and said "Maybe I should tone it down.." the crew all started laughing and Viper was embarrassed as he drank from his cup.

Viper turned to see Sanji dancing with a mermaid, and saw her whisper in his ear. Viper said "Look! It's happening!!" the crew all turned to look and saw the mermaid whispering and Sanji getting a nosebleed. Viper sighed and shot forward and whispered in his ear "If you don't clean it up she's gonna leave." before flying back, it didn't even take a second. He saw Sanji wipe his nose and say something before the mermaid dragged him away. The crew looked at Viper, who had a shit-eating grin on his face, he said "Anybody else want advice?" Robin reached over and smacked him his time, and the rest laughed. Nami was frowning in the direction Sanji left in, Viper, Robin, and Zoro noticed the trio looked at each other and nodded slightly. Viper said "I gotta go to the bathroom anybody else?" Zoro coughed and said "Yeah, the booze is getting to me." Robin said "I have to go, Nami do you want to come with me?" Nami nodded slightly and Robin dragged her away, while Zoro and Viper left in another direction.

Viper said "How the fuck are we gonna find him. I don't know about you, but I'd rather not stumble into the room midway." Zoro smirked "You shy?" Viper said "No. These Mermaids are really crazy, I think she might invite us to join in too." Zoro shivered and said "How far is your observation?" Viper said "If I force it, maybe 20 meters all around me." Zoro nodded and said "Well, I'm only 15 so you start and we'll switch." Viper nodded and pushed his observation haki to the max.

After 30 minutes

The duo found Sanji, Zoro said "He's midway." Viper sighed and said "Let's just wait.

An hour later

Sanji walked out of the house smoking, when he noticed Zoro and Viper sitting outside waiting for him. Zoro said "Have fun?" Viper said "Is it your first time?" Sanji said "Yes I did, and No it wasn't, it happened before at the Baratie. Why are you guys here?" Zoro said "We need to talk." while Viper was still shocked he had managed to get a girl at the Baratie. Sanji nodded and the trio walked away.

Sanji listened and was shocked "WHAT?!" Viper shrugged and said "That's what we saw, maybe you should talk to her. Who knows what she's thinking." Zoro chuckled and agreed. Sanji was silent and the trio made their way back to the party. Sanji went to find Nami and the rest resumed drinking and partying.

The next day

Viper woke up and yawned, he got up and saw Sanji had bumps all over his head, he said "I guess it didn't go well?" Sanji sighed and said "I'm on a probation period now." Viper laughed and shook his head and said "Where's everyone else?" Sanji said "Probably in town." Viper nodded and walked away, Sanji watched him go and smirked "She's coming after you too rainbow hair hehheheheh"

Viper came across Luffy yelling into a snail "I'll come to the new world and kick your ass! Then I'll make fishman Island my territory!" Viper said "Hey you with the egg shell pants! Who's he talking to?" The man with the egg shell pants said "I have a name! It's Tamago-soir! And he's talking to BigMom!" Viper got excited and said "I heard she has a lot of kids that are really strong is that true!!" Tamago nodded and Viper said "Luffy can I talk to her?!" Luffy grinned and handed him the snail.

Viper grabbed it and said "Hello? Is this BigMom?" BigMom said "Who is this now?" Viper said "My name's Viper! I heard you were weaker than the old man is that true?" BigMom snapped "Which old man! You damn brat!" Viper said to Tamago "Is she an idiot?" before turning back to the snail "Whitebeard you damn old hag!" the surrounding people were shocked and Luffy just chuckled, he liked how his crew wasn't afraid of anything.

Bigmom snapped "Whitebeard?! Who are you?!" Viper snapped "How old are you?! Is your hearing bad?! I said my name is Viper! Whitebeard was my old man! My captain just said he's gonna kick your ass so who's strongest after you in your crew?! And how many kids do you have?!" Luffy laughed and Zoro said "What are you doing?! You can't reserve fights!" Viper sneered and said "I do what I want, you're just mad you didn't think of it first!" Zoro grumbled something about a rainbow haired bastard.

Bigmom was silent and said "All my children are strong." Viper sighed and said "I'm convinced you're an idiot. I said strongest. Are you deaf?" Bigmom snapped "I'm gonna kill you myself you little brat!" Luffy snapped "You're fighting me you old hag!" Viper said "Tell me who or i'll just fight them all myself!" Bigmom cackled and said "Goodluck." and hung up. Viper seethed and screamed "That damn old hag! She didn't answer a single question!" he looked at Tamago and said "You're part of her crew right?! Who's the strongest!"

Tamago was so shocked at what just happened that he couldn't even speak, he snapped out of it and said "Quoi?" Viper sighed and said "C'est qui le plus fort, sauf Bigmom?" everyone was confused and Tamago said "Smoothie, Cracker, and Katakuri." Viper frowned, he felt he wouldn't meet the last too for some reason and said "Then this Smoothie guy." he turned to Zoro and Luffy and said "I got dibs on the Smoothie guy. You got that?" The two nodded and grinned.

Tamago said "Actually, Smoothie is a woman-soir" Viper sighed and said "Whatever. I'm gonna kick her ass." he suddenly said "Wow, I'm starting to sound more and more like Luffy." Luffy chuckled and Zoro grinned.

A few days later

The Sunny was all coated and ready to leave. Shirahoshi followed them and said "Are you guys coming back?" The crew all nodded and Shirahoshi stuck her pinkie out and said "Pinkie promise?" the crew smiled and all stuck their pinkies on Shirahoshi's and said "Promise." Shirahoshi smiled and the crew left Fishman Island and set sail for the New World.
