Chapter 19 - CHAPTER 19: ARLONG PIRATES

As Nami fell to her knees, tears streaming down her face, the crew could no longer stand idly by. Luffy's fists were clenched so tightly his knuckles turned white. He turned to the others, his determination clear.

"It's time," Luffy said, his voice resolute.

The crew nodded, and they made their way towards Arlong Park. As they approached the gate, Luffy kicked it open with a powerful strike, the gate flying off its hinges.

"Arlooooong!" Luffy roared, his voice echoing through the park.

Arlong looked up from his lounging position, a sneer on his face. "Well, well, what do we have here? More humans to crush?"

Luffy's eyes blazed with fury. "We're here to take Nami back!"

"Is that so?" Arlong said, standing up and towering over them. "Do you really think you can take on me and my crew?"

Zoro drew his swords, his expression fierce. "We'll cut you down."

Sanji lit a cigarette, his eyes cold. "And we'll kick you out of this place for good."

Usopp stood ready with his slingshot, his fear replaced with resolve. "You won't hurt Nami or anyone else anymore!"

Alex stood beside them, his phone still recording. "Your reign of terror ends today, Arlong."

The fight began with a flurry of movement. Luffy charged at Arlong, his fists stretching back before launching forward with tremendous force. "Gomu Gomu noooo... Pistol!"

Arlong blocked the attack with his massive saw-like nose, but the force pushed him back. "Not bad, but you'll need more than that to defeat me!"

Zoro clashed with Hatchan, the six-armed octopus fishman. Their swords met in a flurry of strikes, each trying to overpower the other. "You're strong," Hatchan admitted, "but I'm stronger!"

"Don't count on it," Zoro grunted, his swords flashing.

Sanji faced off against Kuroobi, the fishman karate master. Kuroobi's powerful punches were met with Sanji's precise kicks. "You're a tough one, but my kicks are tougher," Sanji said, his cigarette dangling from his lips.

"Let's see if you can back up those words!" Kuroobi replied, lunging forward.

Usopp engaged in a hit-and-run strategy, using his slingshot to keep Choo, the archer fishman, at bay. "You can't hit what you can't catch!" Usopp taunted, dodging Choo's water bullets.

Meanwhile, Alex stayed back, his phone capturing the intensity of the battle. He knew his strength was different from the others, and his main role was to gather evidence and support his crew.

As the battle raged on, Nami watched from the sidelines, her heart pounding. She saw the crew fighting for her, each of them risking their lives to free her from Arlong's grasp.

Luffy's attacks became more relentless. He dodged Arlong's powerful blows and countered with his own. "Gomu Gomu no Gatling!" he shouted, his fists flying at Arlong with incredible speed.

Arlong snarled, struggling to keep up with Luffy's onslaught. "You're nothing but a mere human!"

"And you're nothing but a bully!" Luffy retorted, delivering a powerful punch that sent Arlong crashing into the wall.

Zoro managed to land a critical strike on Hatchan, disabling several of his swords. "Three-Sword Style: Oni Giri!" Zoro roared, his swords cutting through Hatchan's defenses and landing a decisive blow.

Sanji's kicks finally broke through Kuroobi's guard. "Concassé!" Sanji shouted, delivering a crushing kick to Kuroobi's torso, sending him flying.

Usopp's strategy paid off as he managed to land a direct hit on Choo with his Exploding Star, knocking the fishman out.

With the lieutenants defeated, the crew turned their focus back to Arlong. Luffy stood at the forefront, his determination unwavering.

"This ends now, Arlong!" Luffy declared, preparing for his final attack.

Arlong, battered and bruised, still stood tall. "I'll never lose to a human!"

"We'll see about that!" Luffy shouted, launching himself into the air. "Gomu Gomu no Battle Axe!"

The intensity of the fight between Luffy and Arlong was palpable. Luffy's attacks were relentless, but Arlong's strength and ferocity matched them. The fishman's powerful blows sent shockwaves through the park.

"Luffy, watch out!" Usopp shouted, trying to keep Choo at bay while supporting his captain.

Luffy dodged a powerful strike from Arlong's nose, countering with a rapid series of punches. "Gomu Gomu no Gatling!" His fists flew at Arlong with incredible speed, but Arlong blocked most of them with his thick skin.

"You think you can beat me with those weak punches?" Arlong sneered, grabbing Luffy and throwing him across the park.

Luffy crashed into the wall, but quickly got back on his feet. "I'm not done yet!" He launched himself at Arlong again, his determination unwavering.

Meanwhile, Zoro and Hatchan were locked in a fierce swordfight. Hatchan's six swords clashed with Zoro's three, the sound of metal on metal ringing through the air.

"You're strong, but I'm stronger!" Hatchan declared, his swords swinging in a deadly arc.

Zoro gritted his teeth, pushing back with all his might. "We'll see about that!" He managed to land a powerful strike on Hatchan, cutting through his defenses.

Sanji's fight with Kuroobi was equally intense. The fishman's karate skills were formidable, but Sanji's kicks were swift and precise. "You can't beat me with those flimsy kicks!" Kuroobi taunted.

Sanji smirked, his cigarette still in his mouth. "You underestimate me." He delivered a powerful kick to Kuroobi's torso, sending him flying.

Usopp, using his quick thinking and agility, managed to outmaneuver Choo. "Take this! Exploding Star!" He fired a shot that hit Choo square in the chest, knocking him out.

Throughout the battle, Alex stayed on the sidelines, observing. But when he saw his friends struggling, he knew he had to step in.

Arlong and Luffy were in a deadlock, both refusing to back down. Arlong's superior strength was starting to show, but Luffy's determination kept him going.

"This ends now!" Arlong roared, ready to deliver a final blow.

"Not if I have anything to say about it!" Alex said, jumping into the fray. Using Soru, one of the Rokushiki techniques, he moved at blinding speed, landing a powerful kick on Arlong.

Arlong staggered, surprised by the sudden attack. "What the—?"

"You're not the only one with strength," Alex said, his voice calm but firm. He followed up with a flurry of punches using Rokushiki's Shigan technique, each strike hitting with pinpoint accuracy.

Luffy saw his chance. "Gomu Gomu no Bazooka!" He launched himself at Arlong, hitting him with a powerful double-handed strike.

Arlong was sent crashing into the wall, the impact shaking the entire park. He struggled to get up, but Alex didn't give him the chance. Using Geppo, he leaped into the air and came down with a devastating kick.

"This is for Nami and the village!" Alex shouted as his kick connected, the force of the blow driving Arlong into the ground.

The fishman lay there, defeated. The villagers watched in awe and relief as the nightmare finally ended.

Nami, tears streaming down her face, ran to her crew. "Thank you... thank you all so much," she sobbed.

Luffy grinned, his arm around Nami. "We're a crew, Nami. We'll always protect each other."

As the villagers celebrated their newfound freedom, Alex quietly reviewed the footage on his phone. He had recorded everything—the corrupt marines, Arlong's betrayal, and the crew's victory. This evidence would ensure that justice was served.

With Arlong defeated and the village free, the crew knew their journey was far from over. But for now, they could celebrate a hard-won victory and the bonds that made them a family.
