Ch-19
The rest of the evening was spent by Usopp making the required number of ammos for his plans. He didn’t know accurately how long it would take for Luffy and the rest to arrive here but he knew that he was short on time as a result he couldn’t afford to waste it.
While Usopp was busy crafting his ammos Nojiko had brought in some ingredients from her house to the ship as she planned to make dinner for the two of them on the ship itself. When she suggested the idea Usopp gladly accepted it.
It was late in the evening and by now Usopp had crafted around two hundred more bullets that he would be needing and finally called it a day. Nojiko who was watching him from the kitchen window in the upper deck on seeing this said “You’re done? Freshen up and I’ll start arranging the dishes on the table,”
Usopp nodded hearing that and went to the bathroom to clean away his sweat. After a warm bath, a warm meal was waiting for him to savour. Nojiko had deliberately put some ingredients to reinvigorate Usopp from the exhausting act they shared after lunch today.
The ingredients worked wonders as Usopp’s libido once again recovered a few minutes after sharing a pleasant dinner with Nojiko which led to the two of them sharing a long night together filled with love and lust before the two finally fell asleep in each other’s embrace.
The next day Usopp was making his way to Arlong Park early in the morning. In his earlier life Usopp had always been a fan of assassination-themed games and with an opportunity like this being presented to him how could he not want to try it himself? The whole day was spent by Usopp sneaking around Arlong Park as he became familiar with the movements of the guards while creating a mind map for himself.
The next day, was the day for Usopp to enact his plan. It was four in the morning when he reached the boundary walls of Arlong Park. The fishmen who were responsible for guarding the place had a carefree attitude because they didn’t believe that there was anyone left in the village with enough guts to go against them anymore.
The only reason they were still patrolling was because of Arlong’s orders. Since it was so early in the night it was normal to catch some of them taking a nap during their shift so this was also the best moment for Usopp to sneak in and take care of everything.
“It’s time for some fishing,” Usopp grinned to himself as he jumped up and climbed past the wall and crouched his way from one bush to another in the cover of the darkness. There were a few fishmen that were patrolling the main courtyard with flashlights so Usopp waited there a few minutes before entering the main building.
The inside of the building looked exquisite even in the darkness of the night but that only made Usopp even more careful as he didn’t want to end up attracting attention in the most cliché way by accidentally dropping any decorative item.
One by one he started searching the rooms as he had no clue where Arlong would be resting. The first floor came out to be the guard's quarters so after 4-5 rooms Usopp moved on to the next floor.
He slowly creaked open the door trying his best to make as minimal noise as possible. He found a fishmen snoring loudly who looked very familiar to him. He soon concluded that this was the floor for the main crew of Arlong.
He only had two hours before the sun rose so Usopp had no time to waste as he quickly got to work. He closed in on the fishman till his neck was in his line of sight as he picked up one of the many bullets he had made from his pouch.
He was a bit sceptical at first regarding whether the bullets would be able to penetrate the fishmen's skin but he was soon reminded that the fishmen were actually just fish and just like any other fish, they too have gills.
He remembered seeing a program on a wild life channel which told that in case you’ve been caught by a shark your best way for escaping was to pop its eyes with your fingers and to punch its gills. The fishmen’s gills were on their neck so he was currently aiming his bullet at its neck which would not only deal enough damage to kill it but will also not allow him to shout for help.
With a flick of his index finger, the small ball of metal darted towards the fishman’s neck who was deep in his sleep and came out from the other side which made the fishman open his eyes in panic while clutching his neck trying hard to scream but the blood gushing into his windpipe prevented him from doing so.
It was only a matter of few seconds and the fishman was dealt with, though Usopp learnt a lesson here to reduce the intensity of his flick as he didn’t want to alert anyone with the sound of the bullet hitting anything after piercing through their necks.
In the next thirty minutes, Usopp cleared the whole floor. His last victim was the octopus head that challenged Zoro to a duel. By this time he had even experimented with their bodies and found out that most of their bodies were soft and easily penetrable by bullets except for a few places where very strong cartilages were present.
“No wonder they were easily enslaved by humans…” Usopp said to himself as even though the fishman were proud of their physical ability it would only take a rain of bullets to keep them under control.
Before the stench of blood could spread further Usopp went to the next floor where there was only one large room. In the centre of the room was a large luxurious bed on which a gigantic figure was sleeping soundly. ‘Fuck, I feel like a Liliputian in front of him.’ Usopp said to himself as he proceeded towards the sleeping figure.
Arlong’s neck was much bigger than the normal fishman he had dealt with till now and since he was the main boss it was most likely for him to not go out with just a single shot so just to be safe Usopp had already brought out ten bullets.
Flick…flick…flick…
Three bullets were aimed at three different parts of his gills which still made the giant bastard open up his eyes in madness and look for the assailant in madness. Thankfully Usopp had already been prepared thanks to the many boss fight tutorials he watched in his earlier life on streaming platforms.
Clutching his neck tightly Arlong tried standing up to take care of his assailant before his death but Usopp wasn’t very keen on letting Arlong fulfil his last wish as another two bullets were launched aiming at Arlong’s two eyeballs.
Getting his eyes shot at, Arlong tried to roar in pain while pressing both of his hands on his hollowed eyes but that only quickened the bleeding from his gills as he drowned in his own blood with his mind filled with hate for Usopp.
“Well, compared to what happened in the show, this was pretty boring but welp I’ll rather keep it boring than let go of my life,” Usopp said to himself as he went downstairs to deal with all the rest of the fishman. He had no intention of letting even a single of them go because even a single fishman was enough to enslave and kill unarmed civilians.
After he was finally done clearing all of the fishman Usopp finally proceeded to the top floor which was the place where Nami stayed and created maps for Arlong.
