Chapter 6:kratos the god of war
**The gate of Arlong Park crumbled away, turning into ash piece by piece.**
The villagers and the Straw Hats stood frozen in shock, unable to believe what Kratos had just done.
Kratos landed inside the courtyard with a deafening crash, forming a massive crater. Slowly, he climbed out of it like the God of War himself. A few minutes later, Luffy and the others arrived at his side.
“Hey, Kratos! Why’d you break the gate?” Luffy asked.
“Even if I didn’t,” Kratos replied, “you would. And a door like that isn’t worth opening—it’s worth destroying.”
Zoro smirked, crossing his arms. “I’m starting to like you, Kratos.”

Inside Arlong Park, the fishmen stared in disbelief before bursting into mocking laughter.
“Hahahahaha! Look at these weaklings!”
“You lowly creatures dare challenge us noble fishmen?!”
Arlong stepped forward, grinning arrogantly as he taunted Kratos.
“Hahahaha! You think you can fight a superior race?”
Kratos’ eyes narrowed.
“Noble race? You’re nothing but toys to the Celestial Dragons.”
The fishmen’s faces immediately twisted with rage, their killing intent locking onto Kratos.
“Since you call yourselves noble…” Kratos said, cracking his knuckles,
“…I won’t even use my weapons.”
The fishmen’s blood boiled. They circled the Straw Hats, drawing their weapons and preparing to attack.
“Let’s go.”
Kratos charged first, rushing straight into the fishmen. The Straw Hats split off into their battles:
* **Zoro vs. Hatchan**
* **Sanji vs. Kuroobi**
* **Usopp vs. Chew**
And Luffy headed straight toward Arlong, punching him hard. Arlong didn’t dodge—his pride wouldn’t allow it. He was blown into a wall, spitting blood as he stood back up.
“You lowly creature! How dare you touch a noble fishman!”
Arlong threw a mighty punch, but Luffy sidestepped and slammed him back inside the building.
---
Kratos was rampaging through the fishmen with brutal force—severed limbs, shattered bones, blood splattering across the floor. His aura grew darker and heavier, rage taking form. He stomped the last fishman’s skull into the ground, standing atop the corpses like a true God of War.
Meanwhile, Zoro struggled as his Mihawk-inflicted wound reopened. Hatchan smashed him to his knees, but Zoro rose again, tying his bandana around his head.
“Three-Sword Style… Flowing Wolf Blade!”
A flash of steel—Hatchan collapsed. Moments later, Zoro fell too, defeated by his own injuries.
---
In the pool area, Arlong, knowing he was losing to Luffy, dove into the water. Luffy instinctively followed—only to remember he couldn’t swim. As he struggled and sank, Arlong laughed.
“Hahahaha! This is the end for you, pathetic human!”
He rushed Luffy with his nose like a spear—
“ARLONG! A true warrior doesn’t hide in the water—FACE ME!”
A blade pierced Arlong’s shoulder. Chains wrapped around Luffy, yanking him out as Arlong was violently dragged back to the park and slammed onto the rooftop.
Kratos caught Luffy easily.
“Luffy… you know you’re helpless, right?”
Luffy’s embarrassed expression made Kratos sigh. He threw Luffy toward Johnny and Yosaku.
“Take care of him. I’ll finish this.”
Kratos leaped, the ground cracking beneath him.

Nami arrived, witnessing Kratos hurl Arlong like a ragdoll. Hope bloomed in her chest—fear too. These were the crewmates she wanted… the ones she chose.
On top of the roof, Kratos saw Arlong clutching a charred black wound.
“Who are you? Why help them?!” Arlong snarled.
Kratos dropped his weapons and raised his fists.
“Because they are the partners I chose.”
Spartan Rage exploded from him as he punched through the upper floor. Below, he saw a room filled with maps… Nami’s prison.
“This cage… This is where you planned to keep Nami forever.”
Arlong grabbed his saw-blade, Kiribachi, glaring with hatred.
Flames of rage swirled around Kratos. He charged.
Arlong swung—
Kratos punched, shattering Kiribachi like glass and sending Arlong flying out of the building.
Arlong crashed near the pool, his body broken. He crawled desperately toward the water. Kratos landed behind him, walking slowly like death itself. Arlong screamed, dragging himself faster.
Kratos flipped him over and began smashing his face, blow after blow, until it was unrecognizable—just like Hercules in God of War 3.
He hurled Arlong back into the ruins.
“This punch… is for the people you killed!”
The ground cracked.
“This punch… is for Nami’s mother!”
The wall trembled.
“And this punch… is for Nami!”
With a final earth-shattering blow, the entire Arlong Park collapsed. Rubble flew everywhere as the tyrant’s rule ended.
“Arlong has been defeated!”
Everyone looked up at the man standing atop the ruins—
his body shining like a radiant sun,
his aura chaotic and divine…
**Kratos, the God of War.**
