Chapter 3: The Devil Within
With a feral growl Luffy shrugged off his bonds and faced Blood a murderous gleam in
his eye. “GET YOUR FUCKING HANDS OFF OF HER YOU BASTARD!”
Nami gasped as she saw a fierce aura surrounding Luffy, it was an evil aura one that
chilled her to her very bones. ‘Is this the true power of the Devil’s Fruit?’
“As you wish.” Blood snarled as he flung Nami from his grasp so that she hit the mast
that Luffy had recently been tied to with a thud her head snapping forward from the
impact.
Nami couldn’t believe what was happening. One minute Blood was brining her lips
painfully close to his slit wrist and she could almost feel a part of her deep within the
darkness of her heart craving a taste of that blood. And then something made the air seem
heavy around her. She could barely breath, barely think, what was this all-powerful force
that surrounded them? Through her haze of tears Nami’s eyes saw Luffy...but this
couldn’t be her captain. No...this man, this being, before her wasn’t Luffy. He couldn’t
be, after all, she was afraid of him.
The man before her was a monster. His eyes were tinted red, his hands were clawed, and
his aura...such an evil, powerful aura surrounded him. This was not her captain. If Nami
could see herself she would have seen herself shaking her head vigorously from side to
side in denial.
‘No!...that can’t be Luffy! That can’t be him. It just can’t be! Luffy...where is Luffy? And
who...who is that...that monster?! It can’t really be him can it? A man that I thought I
could never fear - ever. But now...now as I look into his unfeeling eyes I feel fear. This
just can’t be Luffy...what has become of you? What has driven you to this? Was it all...all
for my sake? No! I was not the cause of this...I could not have made you come to this...to
turn into something that you would be ashamed of....oh Luffy. I’m so sorry.’
Even Blood seemed a little worried. After all this Luffy that now stood before him was
nothing like the previous one - the carefree, happy, go lucky, unable to be fazed Captain
of the Going Merry. No this was a completely different foe. One that should not be
underestimated. Blood knew not to underestimate one’s opponent and so instead of
facing the new Luffy decided to experiment with his men first.
“Now is the time to show these worms the strength of Captain Blood’s crew, men! Stand
up against this mere insect that dares defy us! Show him our true power, the power of
darkness!”
“ARRRGGHHH!!!!” Captain Blood’s men cried in unison as they brandished their
swords for battle. Nami watched in horror as their incisors began to lengthen, their faces
become distorted, wings the color of midnight sprout from their back as they transformed
into their vampyric forms. Saliva was dripping from their newly formed fangs, and their
claws were twitching as they thirsted for blood.
But Luffy didn’t so much as flinch. Instead he looked pleased even. A chill went down
Nami’s back as she saw Luffy lick his lips in a feral manner and charge the entire crew of
Captain Blood head on. Nami shut her eyes as they collided not wanting to see and
fearing the worst.
When she dared to open one eye she shrieked at what she saw. She had only closed her
eyes for a few seconds but now...blood it was everywhere. And pieces...pieces of the
vampyric crew now littered the deck. Arms...legs...heads...wings...that was all that was
left of half of Blood’s phantasmagoric crew. If Blood and his men were the
monsters...then what did that make Luffy now? Nami shivered.
Now because of shock or fear Nami wasn’t sure which she couldn’t close her eyes
although for the life of her she would have given anything to be able to do so.
Luffy...no this Monster attacked Blood’s crew without hesitation using his Devil’s Fruit
powers in ways that Nami had never seen him use before. Luffy’s arms shot out towards
some unsuspecting vampires as they tried to seek distance from Luffy in the air but it
wasn’t far enough. Using his brute strength which must have tripled now in Luffy’s new
‘state’ he easily began to literally tear them apart. Even as they sunk their teeth into
Luffy’s arm in retaliation it wasn’t enough to phase Luffy, not even for a second, he
didn’t even flinch when one Vampire managed to stab Luffy through with a saber in his
side, dark blood oozing out of the deep wound.
Nami couldn’t believe it. Luffy...her Luffy would have been shrieking at the pain in his
side but no...this one ignored the pain...in fact it seemed as if this new Luffy used the
pain as fuel to his fire of hate and anger. Luffy was getting more and more vicious as the
attacks continued.
“Gomu Gomu no Snake Bind!!!” Luffy cried ensnaring two vampires in his serpentine
arms and wrapping his arms around them continuously as they stretched. He then began
to constrict his arms around their bodies until there their cries could be heard no more.
Covered in blood Luffy from head to toe, Luffy turned to face his remaining opponent, a
feral grin on his face.
Captain Blood regarded the Captain of the Going Merry with a calm expression on his
face. Instead of trembling in fear he met Luffy’s smile with one as equally disturbing as
his own. He then began to applaud. “Bravo, that was quite a show. I have to say I
underestimated your power...but one will always find immense strength in the path of
darkness. It took your embrace of the dark side within you to find your true strength
Luffy. This is the true power you see of the Devil’s Fruit. Just look at how powerful you
have become! At least three times as much as your usual monstrous strength! And also
now you have no hesitation, no qualms to end the life of another. You have become the
perfect killing machine. And I respect that. Luffy...join me! Together we could rule East,
West, South, and North Blue! We will be the great Pirate Kings and who of course will
be our queen but the beautiful Nami.”
But Luffy...was beyond coherent thought. And even if his dark side entertained the
notion of allying with Blood as soon as he had mentioned her name...the name of his
navigator all such thoughts were expelled from his mind.
‘She is my navigator and no one else’s! Mine! Mine! Mine! She will be my queen!’ Luffy
of course would never have said such a thing aloud under any normal circumstances but
little did he know Nami had heard every single word.
Nami gasped as she heard those words leave his lips. Even in this state Luffy was still
thinking about her, he was still just trying to protect her from Captain Blood. Nami bit
her lower lip as the tears she tried to hold back came again. He was fighting so hard and
all for her...all for her he had given up who he truly was...the real Luffy would never
have done something so...atrocious...no if she ever managed to get the real Luffy back
she would never tell him what had happened here today.
That’s right she had to stop this. Luffy, her captain, would have never wanted this. Luffy
wasn’t that kind of person. It was all up to her now to save him before it was too late. She
began to painfully drag herself in the direction of her captain cursing her inability to walk
due to the fact she was still in her mermaid form.
Captain Blood took a step back as Luffy approached. Nami could almost see the
expression written on his face as ‘uh oh.’ And then Luffy attacked. Nami watched with
baited breath waiting to see Blood’s counter, expecting to see Luffy flying
backwards...but this time was different.
Luffy swung several hard punches at Blood all at once with lightning fast speed, her eyes
couldn’t even keep up. “Gomu Gomu no Gatling Gun!” Luffy roared.
Blood was visibly surprised when he had just moved out of the way of one blow to be on
the receiving end of another. One blow hit Blood square in the jaw and sent him flying
backwards into the main mast with a sickening crack. If it wasn’t for Blood’s
regenerative powers he would have been a goner. Then just as Blood was getting his
bearings Luffy was upon him. Like a pouncing beast Luffy leapt at Blood pinning him to
the mast clawing at his chest with his own claws leaving red welts there.
He then grabbed Blood’s left arm and using his immense strength ripped Blood’s arm off
before Blood could do anything to resist.
Blood shrieked as his arm was severed from him and huddled over from the pain. But
Luffy wasn’t through with him yet. He quickly grabbed onto his other arm and began to
pull slowly this time....
Nami could see now that Luffy in fact had the upper hand. Blood was being subdued and
it was still coming as a shock to her that the tables had now turned.
Blood howled in pain as Luffy began to torture him...
Torture...Luffy was actually torturing someone.
Nami knew she had to stop this but found herself hesitating. How could she expect to
confront Luffy in the current beast-like state that he was in. She couldn’t believe it when
she realized what was holding her back - fear. Perhaps Luffy wouldn’t recognize her and
rip her in two if she decided to approach...Nami knew she was running out of time. She
couldn’t allow Luffy to get pulled any further down this path of darkness he was
currently headed on. Pulling herself against the rough deck was hard in her mer-girl
form. If only she could run to him. If only she had more time. Her tail was embedded
with splinters...but this was nothing compared to Luffy’s pain, so she kept going.
One of Luffy’s powerful clawed hands wrapped itself around Captain Blood’s neck and
he lifted him easily off the ground and smashed him into the mast behind him. Luffy
narrowed his eyes at Blood and licked his lips. Nami knew what he was about to do.....
Bile spewed from Blood’s mouth as he tried to speak. “Luffy my boy, well done.
Although you may think that you have won it is I who have won this day. Finish it now
Luffy! Kill me! Rip of my head and stomp on it and laugh! Kill me and your ascension to
darkness will be complete! You will be a new you! A more powerful you! Now kill me!”
“NOOO!” Nami had finally made it to her captain and flung her arms around his legs
from where she lay below him on the wet deck. “No Luffy...please don’t do this...I don’t
want to lose you. Come back to me Luffy...I don’t want to see any more blood...more
death. I can’t take it anymore. Seeing you like this is breaking my heart.” Nami buried
her face into Luffy’s legs and sobbed.
Luffy’s head snapped around to glare down at Nami...Nami’s who’s face was flushed,
and who’s eyes were filled with tears...tears that were caused by him.
‘She’s crying...she’s crying because of me.’ A small voice whispered in the back of
Luffy’s mind.
“I promised...I promised I wouldn’t steal her smile!” Luffy suddenly exclaimed and
grasped his head as if he was in pain. It was like there were two voices in his head, each
struggling for the upper hand. “No...get out! You made her cry! I...I made Nami cry!
Aghhhhh!”
Suddenly Luffy collapsed to the ground unconscious.
“Luffy!” Nami cried as she quickly began to drag herself towards Luffy’s unconscious
form. “Oh Luffy...” She sat up and put Luffy’s head on her lap, resting it on her fishtail,
and stroked his hair. She had almost forgotten where they were..what they had been
doing only moments before. All she knew was that she had managed to stop him. That
she had managed to reach him with her voice.
Luckily, Zoro, Sanji, and Ussop were wide awake and quite aware of their current
situation. Just as Blood would have been upon the two of them Zoro’s sword was at
Blood’s throat.
It had been slow going but Zoro had finally managed to cut through his bonds with a
shard of glass he had pilfered.
“Don’t even think about it.” Zoro said at Blood as he tapped his sword against Blood’s
neck. “It seems the only way to kill you monsters is a classic beheading. Well then so be
it!”
“Wait Zoro!” Nami cried. “Enough killing...please...I just can’t....not now...”
“But Nami this bastard deserves to die! After everything he’s done to us...and especially
to you. And don’t forget to our captain...don’t you want revenge on him for corrupting
Luffy’s pure heart?”
Nami faltered but then shook her head. “This isn’t what the real Luffy would have
wanted. He would want Blood to live and see the error of his ways and perhaps become a
better person later on.” She managed a small smile thinking of her Captain’s easygoing
way of thinking.
Zoro sighed and sheathed his sword. “Damn it woman, you’re right you know that. He
would most certainly want something like that.”
“Nami-swaannn! You are as wise as you are beautiful.” Sanji beamed as he came up to
Nami and Luffy.
Captain Blood took this moment of distraction to take flight into the dark clouds that
swirled over head making the perfect cover to escape unnoticed.
Zoro’s eye twitched as he wondered when the cook had managed to get free.
“Uh...” Nami found herself at a lose for words.
“And even more beautiful I must say as a mermaid...that beautiful pink tail totally suits
you...” Sanji’s eyes were know two large hearts. “But then...it’s not permanent right?”
“Huh?” Nami asked confusedly. Just what could that cook be getting at anyways?
“Well...the tail you know...because the lose of your long slender legs...and your-.”
BONK.
“Thanks Zoro.” Nami sighed. “But it’s not permanent it’s only when I get wet that I have
a mermaid tail. Thank god.”
“Allow me to dry you off...” Sanji moaned from his prone state on the deck.
“He’ll never learn,” Zoro sighed but as he looked at Nami he found he had a new found
respect for the wench. She had fought bravely this night, tonight she was a true warrior.
He never would have thought that Nami had it in her. Maybe just maybe he saw
something of what Sanji might see in her. Zoro shook his head these weren’t the kinds of
thoughts he should be having about a fellow crewmate. He would punish himself
tomorrow with 2000 pushups he decided.
“Uh Zoro do I have something on my face?” Nami asked a slight flush on her cheeks. He
was looking at her so intensely. She didn’t know what to think or feel. “I would have
thought it would be my tail you’d all stare at for sure...”
“Huh? Oh sorry.” Zoro turned away.
“It is REAL!” Ussop was saying as he was lifting Nami’s tail up to inspect it.
A vein began to pulse on Nami’s temple.
“And I thought maybe it was all a lie.”
SLAP.
“And how the hell could I fake having a tail Ussop I mean geese!” Nami giggled. And
then they all broke out into some much needed laughter, they say laughter heals the
wounded soul. As Nami looked down at the unconscious Luffy in her arms she wished he
could be laughing right along with them but after all he had been through for her sake she
didn’t feel right waking him just yet. There was always tomorrow, and who knew what
the day would bring.
