Journey to One Piece

64. Hachi

64. Hachi

"How do you know all these?" Nami wondered why this person always tended to know so much.

"I do my research, go through newspapers. All the years in my place there was nothing to do. Luffy and others trained while I couldn't because I was too strong." Ken just flexed his power in front of them but only he knew that this wasn't correct for Ken. He wanted to learn Armament Haki but he was hugely unsuccessful.

This was a form of agony for Ken. But others didn't think that way. They just labeled him as a show off. While Ken narrated all of it, Luffy and Hachi almost became the best of friends as they spoke of different food. Hachi loved feeding people and Luffy loved eating.Alll latest novels at novelhall.comi was a little uncomfortable seeing this but didn't stop them. They soon reached the gate of Arlong park. The Arlong park looked exactly like in the anime.

It was a multistoried building built in Japanese castle style and had a shark head on top of the building. Over the shark head was the Arlong pirate flag fluttering in the wind. With no hesitation, Hachi opened the huge gate and slowly walked in along with Luffy and others.

Sanji and others were already in a highly vigilant state as they walked in. They were here to fight not to eat food like Luffy, who was still in his own dream. Inside the park there was a small inland pool which connected to the sea and beside the pool were a bunch of chairs and tables. Arlong was sitting in one of the chairs peacefully while Nezumi, the Navy Captain, had already stood up with his subordinates, ready to leave the filthy place crawling with Fishmen.

But all of them stopped when Hachi came in.

"Yo guys, look I brought some friends of Nami. This guy said that he loves takoyaki. We can have a banquet... Ahhh.. Arlong..Ummm.. These humans..." Hachi spoke those words nonchalantly at first but then he realized he had committed a grave mistake. Arlong hated humans. Nami was an exception because she was useful to Arlong. But the others wouldn't have a good time.

His face soon turned ugly as he realized his own stupidity of bringing humans to Arlong. But Hachi didn't notice that Arlong, his crew and the navy had more of an ugly face than Hachi. No one bothered with Hachi at this point.

He didn't forget the main reason he was here!!

"Nakama? Nami? hahaha.. I can't remember how many times she had cheated people for money and riches. She will do the same thing to you once she gets a better crew." Arlong said as he was trying to have a psychological warfare.

"She will leave once you are in danger and get a better crew. Now she is leaving me and the next time it will be you on the other side ....." Arlong continued spewing venom and was going to say more but suddenly Arlong saw a leg coming right at his face at an incredible speed. The feet left behind a streak of flames.

Arlong didn't even realize when a person had appeared near him but it was too late to dodge. Plus he was proud of his Fishman body and thought he would be able to stop the kick with his hand. But he was gravely mistaken. As the foot connected with his hand, the muscles weren't able to cushion the impact and Arlong felt his bones crack a bit in that single kick.

The kick was delivered by Sanji as he got irritated that someone was speaking such evil words of his beloved Nami-san.

"Sorry Luffy, I couldn't control myself!!"

"It;s alright. Sanji you just got a good place to exercise your own powers. You can do so here in front of these pirates." Luffy said with a big smile. He could already see that Sanji himself was enough for these people.

Hachi, who was standing by, finally realized that the people who had happily come with him were the 'bad guys'.

"Straw Hat, how dare you deceive me? You insulted my takoyaki!! Ah.. I will never forgive you." Hachi took out all the 8 swords he had and pointed at Luffy.
