Conomi Islands, the place where Nami was from was a small archipelago. It was a chain of island that contained if the map Kaden was following was anything go by, around twenty if not more communities.
'Even if each of these communities only had ten adults, with Arlong charging them a hundred thousand beri a month to live….' Kaden's thoughts trailed off as he flew towards his destination on his ever comfortable bright orange flame cloud.
That would be twenty million beri a month he made from just those poor people. But he knew for a fact they were bigger than that, and if he took Nami's village Cocoyasi Village as an average, which he knew should have at least thirty adults if not more…
The number would look closer to sixty million beri on average a month Arlong made, if not more. And he'd been there for what, even years at this point?
He'd have made literally over five billion beri.
That was utterly absurd.
Though he needed to take into account that Arlong had may have destroyed a few of the villages after throwing a tantrum like he had when Nami returned in canon, and then there was the money that he had to have spent to build Arlong Park and pay off the local marine branch.
Being generous and even striking his profit to even a fifth of what it should have been, he'd still have over a billion beri.
God, how did one accumulate so much wealth, talk so much big shit, but just bum around in the weakest sea like he was?
Arlong truly was a pathetic little loser.
Clearly his sister inherited all the worth in his bloodline.
Honestly, thinking about Arlong was pissing him off. The guy was just everything wrong with the world. He was like a caricature of character defects in the shape of a stupid looking blue skinned retard.
…He had the serious urge to rip that stupid ass nose of his clean off his face and stab him in the throat with it.
That sounded cathartic.
Or maybe he could pin him down after ripping his nose off and let Nami do it? Letting the little girl he'd enslaved stab him in the throat with that nose of his he was so proud of, sounded the biggest insult of all he could give that fish freak.
'I should keep the karate one alive for a little bit at least and force him to show me how to use Fishman Karate.' Kaden mused, putting the murder of Arlong out of mind for the moment.
Honestly, he couldn't remember much about the guy aside from the fact he was a cunt and fought Sanji. Oh, and he remembered him beating the shit out of Genzo, the guy Nami and Nojiko saw as a father figure and then carving him up with a sword.
Actually, you know what? Maybe he could just learn Fishman Karate at Fishman Island or something instead.

It took just over two hours before Kaden arrived at his destination.
Kind of.
….It took him two hours to reach the archipelago of islands and then another half an hour to figure what one had Cocyasi Village.
Which actually just amounted to him flying around atop his glittering orange flame cloud until he found Arlong park.
And as much as it galled Kaden to admit it, it was a pretty snazzy looking place. It looked like a seriously nice vacation spot for some of the rich and famous.
A huge towering mansion-like base. The surrounding area looking like it was build with glittering white marble. High privacy giving walls, and out the front of it, a waterway that looked like multiple large glistening pools, with a marble walkway down the middle of them leading to a gate that led to the ocean.
There was even multiple little wall-less beach hut-like buildings, Kaden wasn't sure what they were called, but they looked really nice.
And the place was surrounded by tons of greenery on the outside lots of small marshes with glistening clear water.
Spoiler
The place was really nice.
And totally undeserved.
"….I'm taking this place." Kaden decided right then and there as he circled above the place on his flame cloud. Luffy had destroyed it, but the place was worth a serious shit ton of money for sure.
Hmm?
As he circled, he noted he could see quite a few figures down below within the confines of Arlong Park. Fishmen of varying sizes, shapes and skin or was that gill(?) colours.
Spreading out his awareness with observation haki, Kaden got a feel for him. He ignored their general emotions, more interested in their strength and numbers.
…And he was left honestly disappointed.
He counted just over fifty of them in total. But, as a whole? They felt disappointingly weak. As in, the vast, vast majority of them wouldn't have stood out from the mook pirates he'd taken ownership over at Clock Tower Island.
And the rest? The stand out ones? One felt around Bear King's level, two a decent bit below Bear King, and one decently above him, but not by a large noticeable amount.
Absolutely pitiful.
….Hmmm!?
Just as he was about to direct his flame cloud away for the moment to take scope of the village, something stood out to him.
Another presence. Pitifully weak, barely standing out strength wise from the mook fish men, but their emotions, their will.
They blazed almost like a sun in comparison to the flickering candles and smouldering camp fires of the rest.
Kaden stared directly down at where he felt the presence, and his jaw dropped and eyes widened as he saw an orange haired figure stepping out of Arlong Park's gates and walking along the long winding path leading from it to Cocoyasi Village.
It was a girl, or rather a woman. And what a woman she was. Even from as high up as he was, Kaden could make out her beauty. Short burning bright orange hair, deep brown eyes. Slender and average of height, yet with full hips, long toned legs and a voluptuous chest that stretched out the white shirt she was wearing tantalizingly.
