6 Chapter 6: Off to-! God knows where

It's been a few hours since me and my newly acquired crew member, Kuina, had left Shells Town, and we're still out at sea.

"*Sigh*"

Kuina: "We really need to get a navigator"

I look at her, and just like me, she seems very bored.

'Sometimes I miss my old world... I want technology again'

"Agreed, I guess that's the next thing on our agenda, and after that, either a cook or doctor"

Kuina: "Hm, I think we should get a Doctor first, we don't even have a kitchen for once we get a cook, and also, for now we could just stop at islands and go to their bars and buy food"

"Speaking of not having a kitchen, another thing we should do is actually upgrade our ship, get a few rooms, a bath or 2, a kitchen, etc"

Kuina: "A training room as well"

"Of course" I start smiling and nodding, imagining what our future ship would look like.

Kuina: "Hey Captain-"

"You can just call me Gilgamesh, or Gil as my brothers call me"

Kuina: "You have brothers?"

"Yes, and no. I have 3 brothers, they're called Ace, Luffy and Sabo. Luffy is my actual brother in my adopted family, his name is Monkey D. Luffy, as for the other 2, us for all made a drinking pact and became brothers through that" I say while smiling, thinking about what Ace and Sabo must be up to right now, and how bored Luffy must be, and how annoyed Dadan is by Luffy.

Kuina: "Wow, that's pretty cool"

"What about you? Any siblings?"

Kuina: "No, but I guess I have someone who could be like my brother, but he's more of a rival" She says while tapping her chin and looking up into the sky

"Oh? Care to explain?"

Kuina: "Sure, his name is Roronoa Zoro, and like me, his dream is to become the World's Strongest Swordsman, so I guess you could say we're more rivals than siblings, but we get along well"

"And who's stronger out of you two?"

Kuina: "Me obviously, although he has gotten pretty strong lately, especially with his 'Interesting' Sword Style"

'I see, it seems due to the Death of Kuina not happening and making Zoro want to train more, he hasn't gotten as strong as he has in the cannon, or maybe he has and the reason for his hardcore training is to finally beat Kuina'

"'Interesting' huh? I don't think anything could be that strange/interesting"

Kuina: "I guess it's not THAT strange, but his style is called 3 Sword Style, he puts a sword in each hand and one in his mouth"

"In his mouth? How does he manage to speak?"

Kuina: "Don't know, guess he's just got that big of a mouth, when we were children, I remember there were days where he just wouldn't stop screaming and shouting saying "I'LL BEAT YOU KUINA" and stuff like that"

"Hahaha! It seems even after all those years he still hasn't managed to do that"

Kuina: "Yep, there was also this one time, the first time he came to our dojo, I remember he grabbed like, 20 swords, hahaha" We start laughing and talking about more stuff that happened when we were younger. I also learnt that Kuina's father eventually realised, after all those years of Kuina beating Zoro, that even a woman could become the world's strongest swordsman/woman, although he's still worried about the fact that his daughter won't give up that dream and will most likely get injured during her time.

Kuina: "Still no island huh?"

"Nop- Wait! Look" I point in front of me and Kuina looks.

Kuina: "FINALLY!" Quite a distance away from us, an island appears, so we quickly grab the 2 paddling sticks and hurriedly paddle to the island.

After a few minutes of hardcore paddling, we stop at the docks and park the boat, before getting off.

"Now, which island are we on I wonder.." 'This place also looks familiar' I walk to the closest person there is to us and I ask him where we are

Person: "Shhh!"

"What's wrong?"

Person: *Whisper* "Don't you know Arlong and his Fishmen are here to collect the debts?"

'So this is where we are, Perfect, time to hopefully recruit those 2'

Kuina: *Whisper* "Arlong? As in, THAT Arlong?"

Person: *Whisper* "Yes, that Arlong, now hurry up and hide inside other wise they'll collect debts from you aswell!"

He pushes us inside of his house, and closes the door from the outside.

"Well, that was odd"

Kuina: "Guess so, but if it's Arlong, it can't be good.."

"How come?"

Kuina: "Arlong's The Captain of the Fishman Pirates, and he's got a pretty high bounty due to him being a fishman"

"So, if we kill him, what happens?"

Kuina: "Nothing I guess, other than us probably getting a bounty as well- Wait! Are you serious? You're going to attempt to kill Arlong?" She shouts while being shocked

"Nope, not ATTEMPT, I WILL kill Arlong"

Kuina: "But why?"

"He seems like a bastard, and I wanna know what a Fishman tastes like cooked"

Kuina: "First part I understand but.. That second part, are you serious...?"

"Nope"

Kuina: "Phew, good" She says while wiping an imaginary sweat on her forehead "So what will we do?"

"Well, as I said, we'll kill Arlong and free this town"

Kuina: "Fine by me" I stand up, and we walk to the door, before opening it up and seeing the guy who brought us here getting stomped on by a big fish.

Person: "Gagh! S-Stop... P-lease.." He says while sounding like he could die any second.

Fishman 1: "Kekekeke! This is what you get for defying Arlong and not paying your rent you shitty human!" He says while he carries on stomping on him.

The rest of the people watching all start shivering in fear, and the children watching start crying and hugging the person nearest to them and shutting their eyes.

'...' I infuse haki on to my leg before kicking the rib of the Fishman as hard as I could from behind, sending him flying a few hundred meters. I then use Soru a few times to immediately appear above him, before slamming my foot down with an axe kick on to his stomach, causing him to cough blood.

Fishman 1: "GAGH! Cough Cough... Y-You.." I then stomp on his head.

"I what? Go on, carry on.." He doesn't reply, so I lift my foot up a little bit and stomp on his head again.

"I said, carry on fishlips" The Fishman's pupils then become white, meaning he's knocked out.

Kuina: "Gilgamesh! Are you fine?" She says while jogging to me.

"Perfectly fine, but it seems this Fishman isn't, too bad, I wanted to hurt him a little more" I say whilst cracking my knuckles and my neck.

"Damn, my muscles are a little stiff after all the sitting"

Kuina: "*Sigh* Couldn't you have at least only done a little damage so that we could interrogate him"

"Sorry, sorry, he just really pissed me off"

Kuina: "What now then?"

"Go check on the guy who brought us to his house, and then we'll go kill Arlong"

If you couldn't tell, I'm kind of rushing the important crew-recruitment early chapters.

Hope you enjoyed
