The night air was thick with salt and tension. Waves crashed against the cliffs below, but the real storm was about to hit the land.
Luffy, Zoro, Sanji, and Kai stood just outside Arlong Park's gate — the massive jaws of a shark carved into the entrance. From inside came laughter, splashing, and the sound of breaking wood.
Kai adjusted his hoodie, pulling the fabric tight over his head. "All right, boys. Once we go in, it's no turning back."
Luffy grinned. "Who said anything about turning back?"
Sanji flicked his cigarette away. "For Nami."
Zoro smirked. "For a good fight."
Kai smiled faintly. "For the stream."

The gates shattered open with a single kick from Luffy.
"ARLOOONG!" he yelled, his voice echoing across the compound.
Every fish-man in the park froze.
Then chaos erupted.
Dozens of them charged.
Zoro dashed ahead, blades flashing like silver lightning. "Three Sword Style — Onigiri!"
Sanji followed, spinning midair. "Mutton Shot!"
Kai activated Momentum Burst and Quick Reflex Lv2, weaving through enemies like water, every strike perfectly timed.

Luffy smashed two fish-men into a wall with one punch, laughing like a maniac. "This is fun!"
Kai parried a trident strike, countered, and kicked another enemy into the pool. "You call this fun, huh? My cardio's dying!"
Arlong finally stepped out from his throne at the far end.
Towering, confident, and grinning like a shark.
His voice boomed. "Humans… you really came to die for her?"
Luffy stepped forward. "We came to take her back."
Arlong laughed, low and cruel. "She's mine. She draws maps for me. Her mind belongs to me."
Kai's knuckles cracked. "Wrong answer."
He dashed forward, faster than before. Arlong blocked his first punch easily, smirking.
"You're fast," Arlong said, "for a human."
Kai's grin widened. "You talk too much."
He twisted, using Stream Sync, channeling energy from viewer engagement directly into his strike.

Kai's punch slammed into Arlong's jaw, sending the fish-man skidding back a few meters.
Zoro whistled. "Didn't know you could hit that hard."
"Neither did I," Kai said, shaking his hand. "Ow."
The real battle began.
Luffy and Arlong clashed — rubber fists against shark teeth.
Zoro fought Hatchan, blades ringing against six swords.
Sanji kicked through waves of fish-men, his kicks creating shockwaves.
Kai moved between them, covering gaps, protecting villagers who'd sneaked closer to watch.
His stream chat exploded.

Kai could barely read the screen through the smoke and chaos. His stamina was draining fast, his system flashing warnings.

Arlong grabbed Luffy mid-fight and slammed him through a wall. "You're nothing but a boy playing pirate!"
Luffy stood, blood running down his chin, grinning wider. "Yeah… but I'm the Pirate King's future, remember that!"
He charged again.
Kai smiled tiredly, clutching his ribs. "I'll take the support role for now."
He jumped on a fallen roof, using the height to get a clean shot. Pulling out his camera snail, he switched to "wide broadcast."

The battle tore the park apart.
Luffy finally drove his fist through the upper floor, smashing Arlong through his own map room.
Wood splintered. Ink spilled.
Nami's maps — her years of slavery and suffering — scattered into the wind.
Luffy shouted, "NAMI! YOU'RE FREE!"
The walls collapsed behind him as Arlong went down for good, buried under the wreckage.
Silence fell.
Nami stood frozen, staring at the ruins of everything that had chained her. Tears spilled down her cheeks, but her smile broke through them.
Kai walked up slowly, streaming still live, though his voice was soft now.

He turned the camera snail toward the horizon and said, "This… is what freedom looks like."
Then he turned it off.
Villagers began cheering.
Sanji lit another cigarette, grinning. "Told you she was worth fighting for."
Zoro collapsed onto the ground. "Next time, I'm taking a nap before the war."
Kai just laughed, sitting down beside Nami as she wiped her tears.
"You okay?" he asked quietly.
She nodded. "Yeah… I think I am."
She turned to him, eyes soft but fierce. "Thank you."
Kai smiled. "Don't thank me yet. You still owe me a tangerine drink."
Nami laughed — really laughed — for the first time since he'd met her.

Kai leaned back, letting the moonlight wash over him. The sea was calm again, finally.
The adventure wasn't over — not even close.
But tonight, they'd earned their peace.
Tomorrow, they'd sail again.
Together.
And somewhere, across millions of unseen viewers, the stream lit up one final message before fading to black:
["We'll follow your journey, Kai. Wherever it goes."]
