Chapter 102: Duval
"Good one Brooke!" Shouted Luffy. "I'm getting pumped up again, here we go!" He extended his arms and grabbed onto one of the flying fish, pulling himself up.
"Ahh wait!, Luffy... not again!" Screamed Nami, but the Captain just ignored her and flew away.
But he did not go too far.
"Looks like he is falling down again." Vivi pointed out.
"At least it does not look like he will fall in the water this time." Sanji observed.
Luffy while still holding on to the flying fish, crashed into the biggest house on the base.
"That was probably the boss room." Robin said since that was the biggest house in the hideout.
They saw that Zoro and Hacchi were also on the base, fighting more members of the gang.
"We should go too. Nami, get us a bit closer to the docks." Said Vivi.
"You got it!" Answered Nami.
Several flying fish riders continued their attack on the crew as they got closer.
"Attack with our transformed aerial assault team!" They heard one of the riders shouting orders.
"Bring it on you bastards!" Exclaimed Franky.
Dark clouds appeared on top of the riders.
"I guess I will do my part…Thundercloud tempo!" Shouted Nami.
"Dos manos…clutch!" Called Robin.
"Kokutei Diamond!" Said Chopper.
"Fire!" Said Usopp while firing the cannons.
"Gattling!" Vivi started showering the riders with a barrage of water bullets.
The fish riders started to fall down like flies.
"Don't break the formation!" Shouted the rider leader before firing his guns at Franky.
The bullets impacted his chest but did nothing to him.
"What? he is bulletproof?" Exclaimed the leader in shock.
"Strong hammer!" Called Franky as he send the leader flying out.
"To think that they are this powerful…" Pappag stared in shock at the crew fighting.
"We are almost there!, let's attach the ship to the docks." Said Usopp.
"You guys should stay here and protect the ship. Sanji and I will go assist the Captain and the others who are already there." Suggested Vivi.
"Sounds good to me." Said Usopp while clutching onto the cannon.
"Leave it to us. We will not let those guys put a scratch on the Sunny" Promised Franky.
Nami gave her a nod.
"Let's go then." Said Sanji.
As soon as they put their feet on the wooden dock, the first thing they saw, was their Captain running away from the destroyed house where he landed.
"Ah!, that was dangerous!" Exclaimed Luffy.
"Luffy." Called Brook.
"There is a big guy coming!" Said Luffy.
"Buooooooh!" A loud mooing noise.
"A big guy?, does he wears an iron mask?" Asked Hacchi.
"Yeah!" Confirmed Luffy. "And there is a big cow too!"
"Buoooooooooooooh!" A loud mooing noise was heard before the house exploded into pieces.
A giant black cow came out of the rubble, and there was someone wearing an iron mask riding it.
"That's Duval!" Shouted Hacchi. "The leader of the Flying Fish Riders!"
"Bastards!, knocking things down and causing a big commotion!" Said the man with the iron mask.
"Hey, you are the one that ended up destroying your house with that cow!, I just made a small hole!" Complained Luffy.
"It matters not! And this is not a cow. This is my bison, Motobaro" Duval corrected Luffy.
"Im terribly sorry, Head." Said one of the flying riders who came back.
"We'll send those guys flying into the ocean in a matter o-"
The man was interrupted as Duval started shouting.
"Move, Fishman, I have no business with the mermaid either! Run away if you want, I don't care. I did not enter this human trade business because I liked it. You all understand that, right?" He asked his men.
"Of course, Head!." The remaining raiders shouted.
"This glorious day…I have been waiting for so long to find you!." Duval turned to look in Vivi and Sanji's direction.
"The man that sent me to hell! I will pay you back, a thousandfold. Blackleg Sanji!" He spat the words with pure vitriol.
"What?, He knows Sanji?" Said Brook with surprise.
"You know the guy?" Asked Vivi.
"No…I have never seen him before." Answered Sanji, not understanding why this man who he has never seen before, hated him soo much.
"Could be an old grudge…I have made a lot of people angry over the years." Sanji did an effort to remember.
"No!" Shouted Duval. "This is something recent!"
He then threw several black harpoons at where Sanji was.
Sanji dodged them while Vivi just stood there and let them pass through her.
"How dare you throw harpoons at me while there is a lady here!" Shouted Sanji in outrage.
"I'm fine thought…" Added Vivi.
"Guys, be careful! There is something weird about those harpoons!" Shouted Usopp, who was examining one harpoon that was embedded in the ship.
"Wait" Said Choppe before getting close and smelling it. "This is…!"
"The tips are coated with black scorpion venom. Just a scratch and they will send you to the afterlife in three minutes." Claimed Duval.
"Oh? they had venom?... maybe I shouldn't have let them pass through me." Said Vivi as blood started to pour out of her mouth.
"Vivi!" Cried Nami.
"Hahaha!, you are dead already, lady. I'm sorry about that, but this is what you get for being close to that guy!" Shouted Duval.
"Vivi, hold on!" Sanji got closer.
Her eyes gained a light shine as her body worked to purge the venom. A few seconds later, the venom was eliminated and the blood in her mouth was reabsorbed into her body.
"Nevermind, I'm fine." She said nonchalantly.
"You idiot! don't make us worry for nothing!" Shouted an angry Nami.
"Hey!, I did not do it on purpose, I really didn't know they had venom!" Defended Vivi.
Sanji sighed in relief before looking at Duval. "You are going to pay for that!"
"I don't understand. How can she be fine?" Said a shocked Duval.
"Shishishi, my crew is not that easy to beat!" Luffy chuckled.
