128 cleaning east blue 3

The base of the 16 regiments was visible from afar to them, mostly that mouse-head-like structure. Having spoken about this in length, they had decided that they wouldn't spare any marine on the base. Being Nezumi subordonnées, they were also the culprit of what was happening.

Would they had regret their action, they would have found a way to contact their superior and ask for at least an inspection, or even arrest Nezumi, before bringing him in front of justice.

That they have done nothing in 8 years was enough for him to consider them guilty. Looking on the ships anchored in the harbour, he takes his rifle and aim just above the waterline. He only needs a shot for each of the four ships to sink them in the artificial harbour.

While none of the ships sinks under the waters, they were all useless now. As the gunshot had attracted the attention of the marines, he aims for his next target, the higher up. There, on the highest floor of the strangle building, three marines were looking at them through binoculars.

The first to die only had the time to see Alex aim at him, see a bright, short flash, then his head explode in a shower of gore, bones, and grey matter. Panic takes the command centre and the next two higher officers were equally shot down.

Before their ship would crash against the docks, Nami and Kuina jumps out as Alex store the ship just after them and takes his impulsion on the stern. The marines ready to fires the canon became useless as their comrades were in their midst.

As the weakest blue, the majority of the bases all around those seas were simple seaman apprentices under the order of few petit officers and rare Chief petty officer. The 16 regiments had 200 hundred of the first, 10 of the second, 2 of the third and a unique Master chief petty officer, under the order of Nezumi. Regretfully for them, all 3 were dead and Nezumi away, leaving only headless chickens running around.

The base assists thus as a slaughter. Bodies were broken, heads popped and few limbs torn, under Nami swings. For the others, they were cut down under Alex and Kuina blades.

##################################

Just a few second after they hear the gunshot, the marine charged of the base' transmission contact the H.Q. By the time they respond to the call, is three higher officers were just shot down under his gaze.

"Yes? Here the information treatment centre of the marine' H.Q, what can I do for you?" The same marine having to take Nezumi to call not two days prior respond.

"Here 16 regiment base, code black! They are here! They have already sunken our ships and snipes our higher-up! They are invading the dock and slaughter us! We are powerless to respond to the attack, sir!"

There was silence for a second before the voice was heard again, strained.

"Soldier."

"Yes sir!"

"We need as much information that possible on them, do you understand?"

"Yes, sir!" Say the man weeping, knowing that nothing could be done and they would be all slaughtered.

Leaving the line open, he prepares for his last duty. Exiting the room while carrying the denden mushi used to scan pictures, in his arms. Exiting the base made him closer from the fight. With quaking legs, he positions the denden mushi for it to face the massacre, leaving it to capture the face of the three pirate fightings.

"Reporting for duty sir, the denden mushi is on position and ready to transmit. sir!" His words barely understand under the constant tears in his eyes and the heavy emotion in his voice.

"Great job, soldier, you have done the marine proud." Respond grimly the man behind the transmitter.

Before he could respond, two knives came flying at them, on embed itself in his head, the second in the denden mushi transmitter device.

##################################

On the grand line, a sudden siren resounds in the H.Q reunion room as captain Brandnew denden mushi rings.

"Captain Brandnew, code black, the pirates had invaded the 16 regiment base of east blue."

"Connect use immediately!"

"Yes, captain."

On the white wall, image after image captured by the positioned denden mushi starts to appear. They could only watch with a grim and solemn expression as the blood of their men was spilt, tainting the dock red.

In a sudden zoom, three figures were captured, all bathed in blood. The two women were partially taken, but it was enough to for a bounty poster, the last one, on the other hand, send shivers in some present.

He suddenly appears not too far from the denden mushi, starting at in straight in the eyes, before two blurs where cached and then, the wall return static, the device broken.

"... the 16 regiments had fallen, send the bounty." Was all Brandnew was able to say before exiting the room.

##################################

It didn't even take them ten minutes to clean the base of all marines. All bodies were stripped bare and thrown into the artificial harbour.

"Nami, Kuina, regroup the weapon, I will retrieve the ships before we clean the base."

""Yes captain/sweetie.""

Repairing the ships, he stores them, before clothing his eyes, all crates and supplies were emptied before the ships were turned into a beam of woods and the seawater that has invaded them turned unto water and salt before being stored away.

Leaving the weapons as they were for the moment, he stores everything and attacks the surrounding buildings. The dormitories, kitchen and training grounds give him nothing but supplies once again and some cash.

The central one, on the other hand, was having a mountain of paperwork stored in, of Nezumi territory. Storing it away for future use, he deconstructs the building after emptying the rooms.

By doing so, he found the hidden door leading to the base basement. Looking at the giant vault door and keypad, he shakes his head and just transmute the door and surrounding wall into ingots of steel and block of rocks. Behind it was laying the blood-money of his partnership with Arlong.

"Are you still sure you want to do that?" Asked Alex to Nami.

"Yes, we will need this money anyways, the 83,000,000B I had gather should be enough to the villages. The island had around 1,200 peoples, 400 of them are under 16 years old, that 100,000,000B per month, 1.200.000.000B per years for 8 years, 9,600,000,000B for Arlong to collect. He would give 1,000,000B per months and crews mates, they are 46 of them. his lieutenant earns 2,500,000B, so that 53,500,000B per months and the rat was given 10,000,000B per months."

"So he was earning 444,000,000B per years? He should have around 3,552,000,000B right now?"

"More or less few millions, that without counting the money on sunken ships and the treasure he had amassed."

Looking back at the stack of bills that should be around 80,000,000B Alex shake his head, storing everything in his storage.

"And he leaves everything here, under the base, ready to be plundered by the first to rais his base?"

"Well, he did have the protection of Arlong, so not many pirates would risk it, plus no one was knowing it was here, so..." Say Kuina.

"True."

-It's a wonder Nami never ask them to plunder Arlong Park with that much money inside.-

'Yes I always found it strange too, but, what can we do? I sure as hell I won't pass on it.'

-You know you are starting to hoarding again?-

'So?'

-Right, may bad.-

Returning at the surface, they exit the base and sail to Kokoyashi under Nami happy humming at the soon to be rich she would give to her sweetie.

##################################

Sailing to the island didn't take them more than twenty minutes. The moment they near the island they know something wasn't right, or rather, Nami knows that something wasn't right. It soon became evident for her, today was tribute day, Arlong must have taken his men to prospect the island and take the money. Unwilling to risk it further, they land and Alex once again stores the ship, he wasn't to leave it at sight were he could be seized or destroyed.

Walking along the shore, they enter Arlong Park by jumping above the walls. Being in the back of the yard, near the shore, they were far from the house, and the stooges near it.

"Arlong should be in his chair at this hour, and I don't see the lieutenants either, they left to collect the money."

What she didn't know was he was coming back from his travel, after sinking the marine ship. As he only takes his lieutenants, he left everyone else back. As Nezumi had destroyed his denden mushi he didn't know that his base had been raided and that they were already there. Due to the ripples of Alex presence, Gosa village would be spared from its fate, saving a lot of life and the parent of chabo.

"There isn't a need to lost our time."

Taking his trusty rifle, he starts to shot down fishermen from theirs. Looking at them falling likes flies, Nami could hold back her tears, witnessing the end of the tyrant that has killed her mother, enslaved her island and chained her.

By the time they react and start to charge at the three they finally spotted, they had already lost ten of their kind. By the time they made it, three others had fallen. Knowing that her wooden staff wouldn't be of any use, Nami chose to doze them in flames. While they weren't that powerful yet, nor she can use them for long, with only four days of training, it was enough to burns a few of them. The few that choose to plunge in the channel immediately regret it when the water was frozen solid, they still inside.

They would die in a few minutes, from either the cold of the lack of oxygen. With only just Nami and Alex, their number had already fallen to a third, leaving barely more than a dozen. Of them, three were cuts down, and three further had their neck snapped.

This was Nami time to retreat and leave the two better fighters to take care of the rest. Still keeping her guard up, she only had to fry another one before all were deal with. Storing the larges chunks of ices and bodies, he turns to Arlong Park, his eye gleaming with greed.

##################################

Alone, he climbs the stairs to the highest floor, and unlike Luffy who destroyed the room, he stores everything, unwilling to turn Nami years of hard work to ashes. She had still kept her whish to draw the world map, east blue would be a good start.

After that, it was his habitual plunder, robbing arlong park to its last inch square of concrete, returning the shore to nature.

They were about to leave when the hear a bestial roar.

"Seems Arlong's back. you know what to do."

The two nodded at him. They all broke into a sprint, and as soon as they pass the rock formation at the mouth of the previous park, they saw a badly damaged marine ship tow by a largely white, with green spots, cow sea monster.

On the ship, among the bloodstain and corpse, was five men, or rather, four fishermen and a ratman in a marine outfit. On the centre and a little ahead of the three, was standing Arlong, looking at them murderously.

"What have you done to my park?! Where are my brothers?!"

"Their dead and your park had fallen, fish."

The already angry face of Arlong pop veins at Alex blatant insult.

"You think your superior to us, fishermen?! Your nothing that a puny human! I..."

"Hahahahaha

Arlong was cut short by Alex laugh and sudden transformation.

"Fishermen and Human aren't the only species in those seas Arlong."

The Fishermen anger seems to be washed away when he sees those features, the round ears and long tail lazily swaying in the wind.

"A mink?! What are you doing in those seas?!"

"Half mink to be honest, but more powerful that one."

All the others three behind Arlong blanched at that, they know the tribe of peaceful animal people living on the giant elephant, they had crossed their road a few time while in Fisher Tiger crew, and the carnivorous ones have always been a dangerous opponent.

Seeing a mink, a carnivorous one at that, here, wasn't good new for them.

"They are no need for us to fight, why not join me, we could reign on those seas with our strength." Say Arlong, seemingly forgetting that he lost all his brothers already.

"Their two problem with that, the first, you are the reason my woman has been crying the past 8 years, the second, you are worse than the piece of shit calling themself Tenryuubito. You dare to enslave human after being a past crew member of Fisher Tiger ?! Shame on you! You are one of the reasons why so much anger is festering between human and Fisherman, why queen Otohime had lost her life! You are trampling on the pride and hard work your queen had shed tears, blood and given her own life, all for the betterment of your race and humans relation. You are one of the reasons why the children are still barren to peacefully gaze at the sunlight, walk the earth and enjoy their life in Shabondy park!

Because of your savageness, your people are seen as nothing more than fish to capture for the sick pleasure of pigs that brand them like cattle! You called Jimbei a traitor to your kind, right? You, Arlong, his the most disgusting piece of trash I have never seen in my life, and its time that someone starts to clean the seas. I could only hope than your death would bring queen Otohime a little further to completion, that her children could one day freely walk the earth along with their people, with pride in their heart that all this was their mother doing."

##################################

Arlong as long since slumped on the ground under the onslaught of Alex, like the three behind him. None a single one of them react when the three appear in front of them, looking with empty eyes, at the blades that behead them.

Only one of them hadn't been killed. Turning to him, Alex could see Octo shudders when his blazing arctic eyes fall on him.

"Return to Fisherman Island, Octo, you are not made to be a pirate, but know that you own your life to Nami on nothing else."

Say fisherman didn't need to be told a second time. After cutting the ropes put around Meuh-Meuh, both of them vanish underwater, never to be seen against in the east blue seas.

"It is your turn your piece of trash. You were our primary target when we raid your base but you seem to have been busy those last hour, hum? Betraying the marines once again, by ordering your Fishermen buddy to slaughter an entire ship of Marines? That a new low after taking bribe for 8 years and helping to enslave the very people you were ordered to protect..."

"Alex!"

Tashigi scream cut him, looking at her, he saw her exiting the ship with a wounded woman on her arms, barely conscious and near-death door.

"Help her, she will die otherwise!" He was about to speak, but she beat him on it. "See know, all she wants in exchange is to see him die!" Say the blunette while spatting at Nezumi. "He had framed her and us for the attack of the ship!"

"Are you sure?" Ask him gently to the woman in her arms?

"The marines already saw me aspirate, it won't change anything else." Say her weakly.

"Alright." He delicately put his lips on her neck, before bitting her. Using the few second before she was knocked out by the venom changing her body, he made volt-face to Nezumi, taking his rifle.

"Warn the devil that Alexander D. Evans will continue to send your buddy to him, it time to clean the seas, and I have a lot of work to do."

He shot him in the head, turning the corpse into a headless sack of flesh. Turning to the pile of bodies on the deck, he fires a second time, the bullet going through the denden mushi and the marine still alive holding it, that had filmed the previous scene.
