"Of course I am." Sanji said with a grin. "I know a restaurant full of people who could beat you easily."
"I'm being underestimated." Kuroobi said.
"Nyuuuuu!" Hachi said before he pointed all his blades at Zoro. "Octopus Pot Stance! Eat this!" he shouted as he charged at Zoro. "New Year's!" he shouted as Zoro blocked he blades. "Octopus Opener!" He shouted as he moved Zoro's blade away, leaving him open to a massive headbutt from Hachi into his wounds. "GAH!" Zoro shouted as his eyes rolled back while he struggled to stay on his feet.
"That idiot!" Sanji said before Kuroobi punched him again in the ribs.
"Looking away again? Stupid human." Kuroobi chuckled. While they were fighting, Hachi ran under him before twirling his swords around. "Octopus Waltz! DIE!" Zoro did nothing as he fell on the blades, scaring all the villagers before Hachi screamed as he stared at his bleeding hands. "He spun around with my blades and cut my hands?! How?!"
"Simple." Zoro said as he stood up breathing heavily. An image of Hawk-Eye flashed through his mind.
'What burden do you carry on your shoulders?'
"My swords are heavier. That's all."
"What?! That's impossible. Mine are 300KG each. No way are yours heavier!" he then put his blades together again. "POT STANCE! Time to die!" he then charged at Zoro, who had a distant look in his eyes.
'I'm at my limit. I can barely see.' Zoro thought. "But I can't pass out now.' He then raised his swords again. 'This wound would kill an ordinary man by now. If I'm to defeat Hawk-Eye...THEN I CANNOT BE ORDINARY!' "DRAGON TORNADO!" he shouted as his attack broke Hachi's blades and sent him spiraling skyward. 'Like I told him. My swords are heavier.'
"I lost...to his three sword style?" Hachi said before he smashed into the concrete. All the villagers stared in disbelief as Arlong tried to move, enraged at seeing Hachi beaten.
"Get...off of me!" Arlong growled as Luffy kept him from moving with his foot.
"I said be quiet." Luffy said in a bored tone, not budging at all. Meanwhile, Kuroobi had knocked Sanji into the water earlier and proceeded to use his fishman karate on Sanji. No matter what Sanji tried, he couldn't move fast enough in the water, giving Kuroobi a huge advantage.
"Hehehe. All this for some stupid bitch? Sad." he said as he was about to finish Sanji off, only for Sanji to blow air into his gills, suffocating him as they both rose to the water.
"You okay?" Zoro asked.
"Yeah...I'm alright." he said before shouting and pointing at the water. "GET OUT HERE! I WANNA FIGHT WHERE I CAN BREATHE!" Kuroobit got out of the water before he started spouting about how his attack earlier was nothing compared to his ultimate attack, and that his chances of survival were zero, even with a leg coming at him.
"Neck!" he said before kicking Kuroobi into the concrete. "I told you didn't I?" he said as Kuroobi tried to get up. "SHOULDER!" he said with another kick. "Not to insult Nami!" he said before delivering a rapid series of kicks. "RIBS! BACK! CHEST! LEGS!" Soon Kuroobi was struggling to stand up as Sanji ran towards him.
"Bastard! Thousand Brick Fist!" he shouted as he swung at Sanji again, but missed.
"Now...FACE SHOT!" Sanji yelled as he kicked Kuroobi through the building, ending their fight for good. "That's that."

While they were all fighting, two others were far off near some wetlands.
"That human could run fast." Chew said as he looked down at a bleeding Usopp. He had shot him with a water blast and was now smirking before he started walking back to Arlong Park. Usopp looked at him with a grin. 'Glad I made that special ketchup star for something like this.' he thought as he watched Chew keep walking away. 'Those fishmen are way too powerful. Sorry Nami. I wanna help, but I don't wanna die either.' When Chew was safe distance away, Usopp sat up. 'Still, with all this ketchup, I'll look like I was hurt. Maybe a bit of dirt will help out to make it seem more real.' He then began to rub some dirt on his arm. "What should I say? 'Sorry, but I lost.' Hmm." As he kept talking, his friends and all the others back at the village were flashing through his mind.
'Aren't we crewmates?'
'I prefer death!'
'Sorry Usopp, but this is for the sake of my business.
'It's an honor to help a lady in need.'
'Do you know how hard it's been for Nami?' 'You can't win, so stay out of their fight.'
'LET'S FIGHT!'
Usopp just stared at the ground as an image of his crew all laughing flashed through his mind before he started to tremble as tears fell from his eyes.
'I'm nothing but a liar and a coward!' he thought before he stood up, wiped his eyes, and looked in Chew's direction. "HOLD UP, YOU FISH BASTARD!" he shouted. Chew stopped in his tracks, which made Usopp jump in terror.
"Oh? Still alive huh? Chu." Chew said as he looked back at Usopp with a bored glare.
"Of course I am! A little water's nothing to me!" Usopp yelled as he fished around in his bag of tricks. Chew looked annoyed as he slowly started walking back.
