Chapter 8 - chapter 8

Screen 1 — Nojiko Explains the Truth

Nojiko stands in front of the Straw Hats, arms crossed, face calm but tired. The air in Cocoyasi Village feels heavy.

Nojiko: "Nami isn't a traitor. She works for Arlong because she had no choice."

Luffy's eyes narrow.

Zoro folds his arms.

Sanji clenches his teeth.

Nojiko continues:

"Arlong killed our adoptive mother, Belle-Mère, right in front of us. After that, he forced Nami to draw maps for him. She agreed only because he promised to free our village if she brought him 100 million Berries. She's been saving for years… carrying all of this alone."

Papyrus gasps loudly.

Papyrus: "THAT'S TERRIBLE! POOR NAMI! HOW COULD ANYONE DO SUCH A THING!?"

Sans steps forward, hands in his pockets, his expression darker than usual.

Sans: "yeah… that tracks. a guy like arlong? don't trust him for a second. monsters like that don't keep promises."

His left eye glows faintly for a moment — a quiet sign of anger.

Usopp looks uneasy.

Sanji lights a cigarette, frustrated.

Zoro exhales, annoyed with himself for doubting Nami.

Luffy clenches his fist.

Luffy: "She's our friend. We're getting her back."

Sans nods.

Sans: "and we'll make sure arlong never hurts her again."

Screen 2 — Nami's Breaking Point

Nami stands alone on the road, shaking, tears finally spilling over. For years she held everything in… but now it's too much.

Nami: "I can't do it anymore… someone, please… help me…"

She collapses to her knees, clutching the Arlong tattoo on her shoulder.

Luffy steps forward silently.

Nami: "Luffy… please… help me."

Luffy removes his straw hat — the treasure he'd die for — and gently places it on her head.

Luffy: "Of course I will."

That single promise hits harder than anything she's ever heard.

Zoro cracks his neck.

Sanji straightens his jacket.

Usopp tightens his bandana.

Sans steps beside Luffy, hands in his pockets, eye glowing faintly.

Sans: "alright, captain. let's go teach that fish-man a lesson."

Papyrus strikes a heroic pose.

Papyrus: "YES, BROTHER! WE SHALL BRING JUSTICE AND SPAGHETTI-POWERED COURAGE!"

Luffy turns toward Arlong Park, voice steady and serious:

Luffy: "We're ending this. All of it."

The Straw Hats — now united — march forward to declare war on Arlong.

Screen 3 — The Battle at Arlong Park

The Straw Hats charge into Arlong Park as the Fish-Men turn in shock.

Zoro vs. Hachi

Hachi spins all six of his swords like a whirling hurricane.

Zoro steps forward, blood still dry from previous wounds, but his eyes sharp.

Zoro: "Six swords, huh? Fine. I'll cut through all of them."

Papyrus jumps beside him dramatically.

Papyrus: "FEAR NOT, ZORO! THE GREAT PAPYRUS SHALL ASSIST WITH HONOR AND BONES!"

Papyrus summons a spiral of glowing bones, clashing against Hachi's spinning blades.

Zoro moves through the openings Papyrus creates, landing clean slashes.

Zoro: "Thanks, bone guy."

Papyrus: "YOU'RE WELCOME, SWORD HUMAN!"

Hachi collapses, defeated.

Sanji vs. Kuroobi

Kuroobi rushes in with Fish-Man Karate, smashing stone pillars with his bare hands.

Kuroobi: "Humans are weak underwater!"

Sanji smirks. "Good thing I do my best work on solid ground."

Sanji blocks the karate strikes with powerful kicks, the floor cracking under the impact.

With one explosive finish —

Sanji: "Party Table… Kick Course!"

Kuroobi goes flying into the wall.

---

Usopp vs. Chew

Chew chases Usopp across the battlefield, blasting water bullets that punch holes in the ground.

Usopp: "STOP TRYING TO SHOOT ME! I'M A SNIPER, NOT A SHIELD!"

After running, hiding, screaming, and finally standing his ground, Usopp lands the final blow with a flaming shot.

Usopp: "This… is the power of Captain Usopp!"

Chew collapses.

---

Luffy & Sans vs. Arlong

Inside Arlong's tower, the air is heavy with the stench of damp stone and old maps.

Arlong grins, towering over them.

Arlong: "Humans are nothing but tools. Nami belongs to me."

Sans' eye flashes bright blue.

Sans: "you messed up, fish stick. big time."

Luffy grips the floorboards.

Luffy: "Nami isn't your tool. She's our friend."

Together, they smash through the tower, breaking the walls apart.

Luffy tears through Arlong's map room — the place Nami was enslaved for years.

Sans lifts the debris with soul power, clearing a path.

Sans: "this room's done. so is he."

Luffy launches his final attack.

Luffy: "Gomu Gomu no… PISTOL!"

Arlong crashes through the ruins as the tower collapses around him.

Arlong is defeated.

---

Aftermath

The Marines arrive — only to be greeted by villagers yelling at them.

Nojiko points directly at Nezumi.

Nojiko: "Arrest him. He's the real criminal."

The Marines (terrified) take Nezumi away.

Nami walks toward the crew, tears in her eyes, holding Luffy's hat.

Nami: "Take me with you… as your crewmate."

Luffy smiles.

Sans gives a small nod.

Papyrus raises both arms dramatically.

Papyrus: "WELCOME TO THE CREW, NAMI! WE SHALL PROTECT YOU WITH ALL OUR BONES!"

The villagers cheer as Nami ties her new orange tattoo scarf and joins the Straw Hats — not for money, but as a true friend.
