"Kanpai!" The mugs crashed together in the air and some of the sake spilled out before the men started chugging their drinks. The one who slammed the mug down on the table first was the only one of them who wasn't a man.

The orange haired pirate smiled with tinted red cheeks as she gave a small burp, "Try to keep up boys," she laughed as Zoro was the second to slam down his mug and looked ashamed that Nami had beaten him, again.

"Hahaha!" The various men dancing around the crowded bar laughed at Zoro's expression until he shot them dirty looks and they shut up. "Another round, this one decides the winner!"

Groans were heard all around their table. Usopp and Franky fell out of their seats along with three of their new friends. Ten rounds straight was too much for the townsfolk and the lighter drinkers of the Straw Hats.

The crew had just stumbled upon an island that was under attack by Capone Bege. After a long battle with the enemy captain who was built like a fortress, the enemy Supernova retreated with his tail between his legs.

"Another cheer for our saviors, the Straw Hat Pirates!" Roars of approval sounded throughout the bar.

Zoro barked out an order to the people cheering for him, "Instead of cheers, give us some more sake," his cheeks had a matching tint to Nami's as they looked into each other's eyes. The woman had her long hair behind her and shook it as she focused on the swordsman's face. "Ready to lose again?" She teased as the next two drinks were brought before them.

"Ten losses in a row is a shame for a swordsman, I will not make it eleven." He said this statement with as much force behind it as if he was declaring that he would become the greatest swordsman ever.

The vice-captain of the militia of the town turned towards them from his seat. He was being the referee for the matches which consisted of counting down and that was it. Jibbuie held a hand up in the air, "Three, two, one, DRINK!"

Luffy turned around from the counter where he was sitting and eating with the captain of Railford's militia, Wall. He started laughing as Nami finished a second before Zoro and slammed her cup down on the table. He tried to beat her to putting his mug down and slammed it down so fast that a loud crack was heard and the table's legs broke.

Before the table could collapse down on Nami's legs, Sanji appeared next to her and pulled her away from it. His Lady in Danger senses were tingling and he rushed over from where he was standing near the bar next to Robin. "Watch it you shitty swordsman," Sanji yelled at him as the table broke.

Zoro was already mad after losing his eleventh match straight and Nami was sticking her tongue out playfully at him. "Yeah, and you're a swirly cook," he argued back making the others laugh as his insult didn't even sound cool.

It was still enough to anger Sanji who let go of Nami and lifted a leg, "You wanna go?!" His left leg shook a little while he held up his right and even though he wasn't a part of he competition, he had still been enjoying himself at the tavern.

Chopper was sipping from a juice box and watching the two crew members face off in the crowded bar. "Oh no," he muttered and put down the box, "if they fight in here, the place will be destroyed."

The barkeep, who had been enjoying the crew's antics even after one of his tables was destroyed, perked up when he heard the small reindeer sitting at the bar. "What?! Stop them, please. This is the most crowded my bar's ever been. Don't let them destroy it."

Chopper didn't need any more convincing and dropped down from next to Luffy and Wall. "Shouldn't you do something about your crew?" The militia captain asked and Luffy just shrugged while watching Zoro and Sanji start attacking each other.

The reindeer watched as they started fighting and it was obvious they weren't near their full potential. "I'll never understand why humans would drink something that would make them weak," he charged forwards as Zoro had two of his swords pushing against Sanji's burning foot. They were shoving each other back and forth for dominance when both felt a furry hand grab them by the back of the head. "Enough!" Chopper slammed their heads down through the wooden table in his heavy point and they broke right through the floorboards.

After a few seconds of everyone staring at the now bulky reindeer, Nami walked up to him and gave him a hug, "Thank you Chopper." Instantly all the men in the bar became jealous of the monster as he turned into a small being and twirled around happy that she thanked him and trying to hide it.

As the woman and the doctor made their way to the bar, the bartender was filling up two more mugs of beer for Luffy and Wall. He looked at Chopper and was stunned that the little guy was actually able to transform like that. "Uhh thank you," he said, and then thought, Even if you did break my floor.

"You're welcome," Chopper said as he sat down and took a sip of his juice. "Though thanking me doesn't make me happy you asshole." He started swaying back and forth on his seat and spinning it around.

A sweat drop came down the side of the man's head, You sure look happy.

"So you guys are leaving tomorrow?" Wall asked and Luffy nodded. "Are you sure about us not paying you? You did save our town after all."

"It's fine really," Nami patted the man on the back as she sat on the other side of him. Chopper and Luffy's eyes bugged wide as Nami just agreed that they didn't need money. "When the battle was going on, I may or may not have snuck on board Capone's ship and stolen all his treasure." She held up two fingers in a 'V' for victory.

"Really?!" Luffy asked. Chopper seemed really excited too and Nami just realized what she let slip in her tipsy state.

"Uhh," too late now, "Yes, but I'm in charge of it. It's already back on the Sunny." She sighed, having wanted to keep it a secret until at least after they left the island because the others always spent their shares of cash so quickly.

Luffy frowned but said nothing as he felt a weird feeling in the air. He turned his head around a few times without turning his body to check it out. Even the others who were used to Luffy's rubber abilities were startled as his neck started spinning around.

Wall panicked and fell out of his seat. The man was six feet tall and muscular enough to be compared to Franky's size only without any machinery. His second-in-command Jibbuie was only four and a half feet and was ten years younger than his superior. The fourteen year old boy turned around and saw Luffy's head backwards before rubbing his eyes and seeing that the pirate captain had turned his body and gotten out of his seat.

The playful, happy attitude that Luffy had a few second before vanished as he stared at the door. The bar full of people were surprised to see Zoro and Sanji getting out of the holes they were in and dragging themselves to their feet.

"Wh-what's happening?" Nami asked, suddenly sobering up as she saw all three of the boys glaring at the doorway.

Sanji lit up a smoke and stared at the entrance while Zoro flicked his thumb up, revealing the metal of his Wado Ichimonji. Nami saw the blade in his white sheath and started backing away.

"What's going on?" Wall walked up next to Luffy. The two of them fought Capone Bege together but when he got next to them, Luffy turned and told him to step back. "Huh? Why, what's coming?"

"Regretting all those drinks Moss Head?" Sanji taunted. Both of them could feel the massive power standing right outside the door with their Observational Haki.

"Ha," he laughed. "That wasn't even enough to dull my senses." He was lying but didn't want the cook to know and acted cocky. "Who was it who slept through Whisky Peak because those bounty hunters got you too drunk to fight back?" He struck a cord and Sanji almost turned to fight him instead when the double doors to the tavern were pushed open.

Everyone in the room was towards the other end as the door except for the three monsters staring it down from the middle of the room. Robin and Chopper were standing behind them, the reindeer shaking but trying to look confident in his Kung Fu point.

The figure walked into the bar and started laughing, his voice low and sending shivers down grown men's spines as they stared at him. He had long black hair that became wavy at the ends halfway down his back. His handsome face had a square shaped chin and Nami tilted her head, surprised that this was the man her boys were all so afraid of. "Is that any way to greet a customer?" He walked a few steps in the room and laughed from the expressions that Luffy, Zoro, and Sanji were giving him.

He had a black leather jacket on, unbuttoned down the middle to show a white undershirt. It was frayed at the bottom near the start of his long black pants and black boots. Each step he took in the room made the room echo with the sound of his foot. "Hey barkeep, give me a," before he could finish his order, a voice spoke from near the broken table across the room.

"Who's that?" Usopp asked as he sat up from the ground. His face was still red and he was a little dizzy, so he couldn't read the situation at all. When he noticed that all three of the strongest crew members were glaring at the menacing man in front of them, he became nervous. His anxiety increased when the guy closed his mouth and turned his head towards Usopp with a smile.

The long-nosed sniper of the Straw Hats went wide-eyed and started shaking as the room began to tint red. He tried scooting himself back, but Franky's huge body was blocking his way. All of a sudden the wooden floor near the entrance burst into flames and they spread across the floor fast from wall to wall. "AHHH!" Usopp watched the man's eyes change from black pupils to the entire eyeballs burning red and he tried to keep himself from crying as he screamed out in terror again.

"Usopp!" Luffy shouted as his crewmate started screaming in horror. The rest of the bar was looking at the pirate who had enough fear in his eyes to strike them shitless as well.

"U-Usopp?!" Nami called out and started running from the rest of the bar patrons over to her friend.

"UUUSOPP," the pirate on the ground heard a horrifying low growl of his name and turned to see a wall covered in demons. One of them was orange and had a dozen eyes and it started running at him.

"Ahh!" He screamed and pushed himself away from Nami who was going towards him. He fell back into the hole that Sanji was slammed through earlier and Nami ran over to see if he was okay. When she looked down she just saw Usopp curled up in a ball and staring up at her with his hands in front of his face. "Monster! Luffy! Zoro! Nami! Help!" He screamed and then the fear became too much as the monster burst into flames and he passed out.

The bar became quiet and the man in the center of the room turned away from the hole that the pirate fell in. "As I was saying, I'd like a glass of your finest sake."

The person looked away from the barkeep and ahead of him where three men were glaring at him. Zoro now had two swords drawn leaving only Shusui in its sheath. Sanji's foot was on fire and after hearing Usopp's strangled pleas for help, his eyes were burning as well. Luffy had a black fist held at his side and he yelled, "What did you do to my nakama!?"

"You should be more worried about your other nakama than that worthless piece of trash," no sooner was the word out of the man's mouth did Luffy's right fist coated in Armament Haki slam into his face and knock him across the room and through the wall next to the door.

The barkeeper was one of the only people not pressed up against the opposite wall. He felt like begging for them to take the fight outside, but there were more important things and he hopped over the counter. "Everyone come out the back!" He pushed open the door to the kitchen in the back where there was a door to escape from.

The crowd of people started rushing out until only the Straw Hats and two others remained. Jibbuie called over, "Captain, there's no point in staying! We can't touch someone like that, he made the sharpshooter pass out without even touching him!" The older man flexed his arms and they bulged as he walked next to Luffy and shouted that it was his town and he would continue to help protecting it.

"You're my friend," Luffy started. At the same time he brought his elbow back and hit the man in the solar plexus hard. "But don't get in my way! Get him out of here," Luffy demanded and Jibbuie ran towards the captain of the militia and started dragging an unconscious Wall out the door.

The short militia man turned back one more time to see the Straw Hats looking fearsome as the figure pushed the pile of rubble off of him. This is going to get messy, Jibbuie dragged his unconscious captain and ran into the kitchen.

He ran through and then out the back where his eyes went wide and he panicked at the sight of the burning town. "No," he fell to his knees, "no" he whispered again and tears began to fall.

Inside the bar, the man imbedded in the new hole in the wall got out and wiped off some dirt. "That wasn't very polite," he stated with a trickle of blood coming out the corner of his lip. It looked like he wasn't expecting Luffy's attack to hurt as much as it did, although some of the other crew members felt nervous that he just took a Haki coated fist to the face and was standing back up like it was nothing.

"Who is this guy?" Nami asked. She was holding her Clima-Tact in her hands. She felt afraid, but after the way Usopp looked at her, she was furious at whoever the man before her was.

"I don't know," Robin replied, crossing her arms in front of her. She looked just as mad as Nami, but her eyes were colder and more emotionless as she glared at the new enemy. She suddenly remembered what the man said and looked around the bar for the one member she didn't see.

"Don't talk to us about being polite after insulting one of our crew." Sanji puffed his cigarette and wondered whether or not the man in front of him was really the power they felt before.

"What did you do to Usopp?!" Luffy shouted at the guy with long black hair. He was taller than all of them and he cocked his head to either side, making loud cracks as he did.

"I wonder," the man said, a smirk appearing on his face.

Luffy saw flames in the side of his left eye and turned that direction to see Zoro on his knees, the top of his skull melting, "ZORO!" Luffy yelled and started freaking out, but the swordsman's head lifted up and it was the weird man looking back at him. "You!" The captain pulled back an arm and flung it forward.

The rest of the crew stared in panic as Luffy and Zoro started fighting each other. Luffy's fist knocked him through the wall and he chased right after him, screaming, "What did you do with Zoro," even as the swordsman yelled at him to stop.

Sanji didn't wait another second as somehow the man was doing something to them. He charged and flipped with his burning right foot held up before slamming it forward. "Hell Mutton Shot!" His foot was about to hit the man in the chest, but the enemy rose his hand at the last second. The left sleeve of his black leather jacket and the black glove he was wearing burst off of his skin as his arm grew twice as big and turned red.

Sanji's foot hit the man in the hand and pushed him back a few feet so he skidded across the ground. "Hmm, I'm impressed you were able to push me backwards." The enemy clenched down with his open palm and grabbed Sanji's foot. With immense strength that the chef couldn't fight against, he was smashed into the floor and then thrown up through the roof.

"S-Sanji?" Chopper asked. He could barely see the enemy move but one of his strongest friends was gone and there was a hole in the ceiling above the enemy now.

Outside the tavern, Luffy was mid Gum Gum Whip when the laughing enemy in front of him turned back into Zoro. "I said stop it already!" The man yelled and realized that his captain wasn't finishing the whip.

"Zoro?" He asked confused, "Or are you that guy pretending to be him?"

"What are you talking about baka?!" Zoro shouted. He was glad that Luffy wasn't trying to fight him anymore and was finally able to look around at all the burning buildings around them. A few people ran by them screaming in panic.

Luffy seemed to notice the destruction going on in the town they just saved and his mouth twisted into a scowl. "Who's doing this!?" He screamed at the top of his lungs.

"Wouldn't you like to know?" A woman's face teased from atop one of the nearby buildings. The two of them heard a crash and turned fast to see their blonde haired chef flying through the air until he was almost nothing but a speck in the night sky, the flames on his leg going out.

"Zoro, protect the others!" Luffy saw how Sanji was thrown and didn't know if his other friends would be able to hold out without one of them.

"Grr," the green haired man was aggravated that Luffy switched from attacking him to ordering him so fast, but he knew the captain was right. He jumped backwards and sprinted through the hole in the wall where the man from before had a red muscular arm held out with Chopper's neck grabbed. "Chopper! Get away from him," the swordsman swiped with his sword and a blue slash shot out towards his arm.

The enemy released and pulled back his arm while jumping back. He avoided the slash which flew through the counter and the alcohol shelf behind the bar. The attack sliced right through the other side of the building and the guy with the long hair seemed intrigued as he turned his attention away from the gasping reindeer man.

Chopper was on his knees with his hands to his throat. He didn't know how much longer he was going to last. Robin had tried to pry the man's fingers off with a few hands springing out of him, but his other sleeve exploded and another red arm reached over and bashed her hands.

She felt the intense pain and had to release her Doce Fleur and watch as their doctor was strangled. Nami had lost the poise she originally had and backed up against the back wall. "You guys get out of here!" Zoro shouted as he pointed his swords at his enemy.

Nami didn't need to be told twice. What can I do against a power like that? She ran over to the hole that Usopp was in and grabbed him by the nose, pulling him out. Robin ran next to her as she dragged Usopp away and Chopper grabbed Franky and took him as well.

"SU-perzzzzz," Franky said in his sleep. Chopper dragged him by the feet and his head bonked on the floor with every step. After a few feet out of the building, the cyborg's eyes opened just as his face smashed into a rock. "Oooh," he moaned and then kicked out and dropped down to the floor. "What's the big idea?" He asked angrily as he lifted his head.

The other three didn't reply as they were too busy staring ahead in shock. "OAHAAAAaaAaAh!" A woman with long, blood red hair screamed. Small circles appeared in front of her mouth as she yelled and they got wider and wider as they moved forward.

Their captain was in midair with a fist pulled back when the wave of sound hit him and he was tossed backwards into a flaming building behind them.

Luffy crashing into the building also shot out an injured Sanji who was back on his feet and being attacked by what could only be described as a lion. It crouched down on all fours from its spot on the side of the building before pouncing up in the air. As it was flying, a large mane grew out of its neck and it bulked up in every area.

The lion man pulled back a claw and swung down at Sanji, sending him crashing down to the paved street below. A few cracks appeared on the street around where Sanji smashed on his back and coughed up blood.

"Sanji!" Chopper turned into his Walk Point and sprinted to his nakama who was trying to get back on his feet. "Get away from him," the reindeer warned the lion who dropped down on all fours in front of them.

"Hehehe," the lion laughed like a hyena and stood up on two legs. Chopper felt fear knot up in his throat as the man greatly resembled Rob Lucci's transformed form back in Water 7. "What are you going to do about it?" His huge gold-colored hairy arms buffed out and he bared his sharp teeth.

It pounced without further warning and Chopper transformed into his giant Guard Point, bouncing his carnivorous opponent back. Franky shook off the drunk stupor he was still feeling to try and focus on what was going on around him.

The robot did know that Chopper needed help so he started running forward away from the girls. "Franky look out!" Robin's voice called from behind him. The flames everywhere gave light to the town and he suddenly saw everything get darker as a shadow dropped over him.

The ground shook as a massive brown form landed in front of him. It's two feet hit the ground so hard from wherever it dropped from that huge craters were made in the street. Franky lifted his head and saw the face of a man on top of the giant bear that fell out of the sky.

"Ahh!" Franky looked around the bear and saw their doctor in the mouth of the lion. He shook Chopper back and forth before throwing him into the building next to them that Luffy was climbing out of.

"You shouldn't be worrying about others," a deep voice boomed from above the cyborg.

Franky was about to reply how he was too super to waste time on a bear, but said bear slammed both arms down on the robot and slammed him into the street. He hit the floor and bounced up a little before slamming down harder and creating a massive crater in the pavement.

"Luffy!" Nami called over to her captain who was looking around with fury in his eyes.

"Everyone!" Luffy shouted, "Get down." He pulled his arms back and prepared for a gattling gun. "Gum Gum..." he pulled back and threw the first two punches towards the group of enemies in front of him.

As his fists left his side, a large white wall appeared in front of him and both fists crashed into it and bounced back, hitting him in the face and stomach. His blows knocked himself back into a piece of broken wall and his body bent back over it.

He lifted his head and stared over his torn red shirt at the figure before him. The white puffy wall started to break apart and disappear and a little girl floated down from the top of it. She had a little puffy cloud under her feet and it hovered a few feet above the ground so the three foot tall girl on top of it was a little higher than normal height.

The girl looked down at Luffy who grabbed onto a sharp piece of the wall and it dug into his hand as he pulled himself up and looked at her. "Straw Hat Luffy," she said and pulled out a poster, looking down at it and then back up. "Yep, it is you." She sounded disappointed, "I was wondering whether I had the wrong person since this sheet of paper says your bounty is four hundred million." She crumpled it up and tossed it on the ground.

"Nami," Robin whispered as their captain and the enemy stared at each other. The younger woman looked up at Robin and saw that she looked troubled, "What that man said inside the bar, 'we should be more worried about our other nakama,' there was only one member of the crew who wasn't in the tavern."

Nami tried to keep calm despite being surrounded by enemies who all seemed to have Devil Fruit abilities. Her mouth opened wide in a gasp, "Brook?" She whispered and Nico Robin nodded. "Didn't he go back to the ship after the battle?" her voice actually had some concern in it for the undead skeleton.

"Yes, he was pretty injured but told Chopper that rest and milk would make him better." Robin also sounded a little worried, "I think we should head back to the Sunny."

Nami took a look over to Luffy who got back on his feet and was glaring at the child before turning back to the archaeologist and nodding. As the two of them ran off, the tavern they were partying in suddenly exploded in a huge pillar of lava that shot into the night sky. Both women stared at the pillar with huge eyes, their skin turning blue in fear. A red face appeared in the flames and started laughing. "Quickly," Robin urged and grabbed Nami's hand, continuing to run down the street towards the docks.

Nami pried her eyes away from the scene and focused on making sure Usopp didn't fall off of her shoulder. She didn't want to think about what happened to her friend inside the bar when it exploded.

"Zoro!" Luffy shouted as the building he sent his first mate into exploded.

"Hmm," the girl in front of him mumbled as she turned her head a little to the side. The girl had short pink hair and looked cute with her small height but it didn't deter Luffy. She looked back at the captain who was shaking in rage, "I thought that maybe the Pirate Hunter would have put up a fight, but looks like Lucy-Chan took him down."

When the girl finished her sentence, the man who had walked into the tavern first started walking out with a smirk on his face. Luffy showed no surprise at the change in the man's appearance as he transformed into what he originally looked like.

The pillar of fire was gone, but the man who was walking out of the flames at fires had hair made of fire that rested down his back. While it returned to its normal black color, his molten skin started to fade back to white as did his red arms. His face was made of black rocks with a few cracks in them that showed a glowing red underneath his skin. His whole chest was made similarly and as it changed back, his chest became well-toned and he had an eight pack on his abdomen.

"Looks like you burned your favorite clothes," the large grizzly bear joked in a low voice and he started to shrink down. The shrinking didn't last long as even when the brown fur was gone and the man's skin turned back to normal, he was still as big as Franky in his human state.

"Hehehe," the lion cackled as he transformed into a thin man with a sneaky face and he pulled glasses out of his shirt pocket and put them on. "You shouldn't joke with Lucy-chan like that Duglo." The lion man started giggling to himself and before he saw what happened, the man was in front of him and looked him in the eyes. "Wait, no!" The guy turned away fast, but it was too late.

Luffy stared wondering what was going on as the guy who used to be a lion fell to his knees and started screaming about bugs in his eyes. He started clawing at them and then the other man turned around and started walking towards him, "It's Lucifer, I only tolerate Ami calling me that."

"Lucy-chan," the girl whined, "please stop, his eyes might get damaged if he actually digs his kitty nails into them." The man sighed and his eyes seemed to glow red again and the writhing man behind him stopped squirming and just held his bloody hands to his face.

Luffy tried to quell his anger as he saw Sanji struggling to his feet in the road and Franky pulling himself out of the crater as well. Chopper was muttering something as he picked himself out of the rubble of the building behind him. He started stumbling back to the edge of the street to stand next to Luffy. "Luffy, I don't understand. Who are these people? Why are they attacking us?"

"LALALALA!" A high pitch voice squealed from atop an undamaged roof. The male members of the crew cupped their ears. They felt like they were bleeding and glass shattered in the windows around them. The enemies didn't seem phased by the loud screeching and it soon went away, replaced by the annoying laughter of the woman who dropped down from the building and landed in the middle of their group.

"Ah, Sapri, you decided to show up," the little girl named Ami mentioned as the woman landed.

The person in front of her had long red hair and frowned before opening her mouth and shouting, "Me! I've been here the whole time! Where were you when we attacked the town?!"

"I fell asleep on my cloud," the girl answered.

"SHUT UP!" Luffy shouted and the enemies stopped talking to each other and looked at him. He never knew what it felt like for his enemies to ignore him when he was trying to be serious. Now he knew what it was like for all the enemies he faced who he just ignored to talk to his friends. "Why did you attack us?" He wanted to attack them but there was still the risk that there were some of the townspeople left in the buildings around them. Instead he seethed out the question, trying to feel out Zoro's Haki as he did.

Sanji pried his eyes away from the beautiful woman on the street with great difficulty. He turned his head towards the flaming remnants of the tavern, What happened in there after I was thrown through the roof? Where is that shitty swordsman? Nami and Robin went back to the ship to find Brook, I heard that much. Why would they want that skeleton?

Franky was also back on his feet with a huge headache. His head was made of mostly metal yet the bear man, Duglo, had still pounded him five feet into the pavement. The man turned around and looked Frany straight in the eyes, no longer a bear but still big enough to look menacing. He had a large torso and fat face but he still looked strong.

"YOW!" Franky shouted, "I don't care what the reason is! Let's kick their asses!" He held up his right arm and Sanji got ready to attack one of the males in front of him.

Luffy decided that the time for figuring out why they were attacking was later. He was about to pump his arm to get himself into Second Gear when a loud voice called down from the sky. They all looked up and saw a man floating in the air above them.

There was a man hovering in the sky with short black hair. He had a large burn mark on his forehead and two claw mark scars down the left cheek. The thing that drew everyone's attention wasn't his appearance though, it was the person slumped over his right shoulder as he floated above the tops of the buildings.

"Brook!" The Straw Hats saw their friend in this new enemy's arms. Without any hesitation, Sanji started Sky Walking, Chopper turned to Jumping Point and leapt, and Franky extended his right open hand towards the man. Luffy pulled both arms back and shot them up towards the musician on his crew, but before Luffy and Franky's arms or Chopper and Sanji could reach him, he vanished and appeared a hundred feet higher in the air.

Luffy's arms snapped back and Franky's reconnected with his arm. Chopper fell down, but Sanji kept kicking the air and getting higher up. "Impressive," the man in the air laughed, "not!" He disappeared again and his knee came down as Sanji lifted a leg to block it.

The man wasn't disappearing but using the Shave tactic to move incredibly fast. His knee slammed into Sanji's shin and the chef spun off of it and tried kicking with the other leg. Now the man actually seemed impressed that he took the knee and didn't drop, but he smirked and coated his leg in black as he met Sanji's next attack and then followed up faster than the cook could dodge with an armored knee to the stomach.

"Sanji!" Luffy reached up to catch the falling chef.

"We're done here, the others are already heading back. Ami, time to leave," the little girl saluted the man in the sky and shouted, 'Aye Aye Captain!' He nodded to her and then shot off.

"You're not going anywhere with Brook!" Chopper shouted and turned into Kung Fu Point to try and flip towards the little girl.

A second before he punched her, the girl giggled and called out, "Cloudy Sea!" Her hands were held out and the one pointed towards the reindeer started spewing white puffy foam that hit him in the face. It surrounded him and he dropped to the floor unable to move.

Luffy just caught Sanji and the chef was about to get lowered to the ground when he felt his whole body become surrounded in fluff. He tried hard to struggle his way out of it, but all he could do was push the foam one way for it to move into another spot and keep him trapped.

Franky couldn't move his body either and his head was barely poking out of the White Sea that filled the street and surrounded them all. He watched what happened next and tried harder to get out of his prison while the little girl floated out of the street on a cloud and was clearing a path for her comrades to escape from.

Duglo walked right in front of Franky but the foamy material was stopping his movement so much that he couldn't even swing and hit the bear man. "What are you doing with our skeleton?"

Luffy tried to shout something as well, but his voice was muffled by the white puffy objects filling the road.

The man laughed, "Hoho hoho," his deep voice was really starting to annoy the cyborg. "We're going to put him to much better use than you ever could."

"Captain's going to live forever," the man who could transform into a lion cackled. He was still angry at Lucifer for making him think there were bugs crawling into his eyes, but he was still in a good mood that they completed their mission. "Should've said goodbye to your friend when he was still here. Hehehe," he transformed into the thin form of the lion without a mane and started running down the street that had no clouds on it.

The man without any shirt on pulled a comb out of his pocket and straightened his hair so the strands in front of his face were pushed back. He laughed once before disappearing in a wisp of red and the others weren't far behind.

The girl floating above them on the cloud was the last to leave. "I ate the Cloud Cloud Fruit," she started when her crewmates were far enough away. "It's impossible to break free. You weren't very strong at all. Captain thought this was going to be a much harder battle." Her taunts were making the Straw Hats furious.

Even Sanji couldn't handle the girl's words and was trying as hard as he could to break free from the cloud. She started to noticed that the cloud she made was shaking in multiple spots and decided to chase after her crew. "Blackbeard is going to make Captain live forever. You can't stop it so just leave this island before you all die."

"That's not up to you," a voice growled and the girl on the cloud stopped taunting and her cloud lifted up higher in the air. She turned towards the fiery remains of the tavern and saw a shadow walking through the flames towards the street. "We will get Brook back, and Luffy is going to kick your captain's ass."

Zoro stepped out of the fire and his eyes met with the girl's who squeaked, "Scary." She looked back down to see the clouds shaking even more and she decided enough was enough and she started flying off after her crew.

"Get..."

"Back..."

"HERE!" All four Straw Hats stuck in the clouds shouted at the same time. Chopper in Heavy Point threw both arms up in the air and knocked all the clouds off of him. Luffy and Franky did the same thing while Sanji kicked out with both legs to scatter the clouds.

"Rahhhh!" Luffy started using his Gum Gum Gattling Gun to punch away the remaining clouds on the street. He was about to charge after her when Chopper grabbed him from behind and he spun angrily, "Why are you..." He stopped short as he saw what his crew looked like.

The reindeer doctor wasted no more time holding Luffy and ran to the worst of them, Zoro. The man with green hair was standing right outside of the burnt doors of the tavern. Surprisingly they were still standing although the rest of the building had fallen.

The swordsman stood still, or couldn't move as Chopper ran towards him and pulled off his backpack, now in his normal small form. "Ah! What happened?" He asked in a panic as he saw all the burned flesh and blood on Zoro.

"He was strong," Zoro responded, "next time I'll win." He assured and then closed his eyes.

Sanji limped his way towards Franky to try and help the cyborg, but Franky wound up picking up their chef and putting him on his left shoulder. Being made of metal, it wasn't a comfy place to rest, but the chef passed out in a few seconds.

"What happened to everyone?" Luffy asked, although he was feeling a lot more tired than he should for the small injuries he sustained.

Chopper was looking over a bad burn on Zoro's left arm when he realized his eyelids were closing and he snapped them open. "I think," he yawned interrupting his sentence, "those clouds sucked out our strength while we were stuck in them."

"Crap," Luffy said and looked down the block where he could see the girl's white cloud getting further in the distance as it left town towards the forest.

He couldn't have felt any more helpless at that moment. There were too many powerful enemies and his crew was scattered and injured. He made a decision that hurt him to say and he called out, "Franky, Chopper," he paused and looked away from the forest and towards the sea on the other end of town, "get Zoro and Sanji to the Sunny. I'm going to go look for Wall and the others."

The doctor and shipwright were amazed at how serious Luffy was being, so they just nodded and walked the opposite direction as their captain.

It didn't take Luffy long to find the militia. It looked like they'd tried to evacuate the town and got caught by one of the enemy crew. The side street was coated in red and Luffy looked around with a lowered jaw at all the people he was partying with a few hours before.

They were all so happy to be free of Capone, so why did this have to happen?! "Straw, Hat," Luffy heard someone whisper and turned to see Jibbuie leaning up against a building. He had cuts all over his arms and legs and his face was barely recognizable.

"Jibi-guy!" Luffy ran over to the small man and crouched down.

"Close... enough," the boy cracked a smile at the pirate. "Wall's okay, right?"

Luffy turned around and didn't see the captain of the militia. "Yeah, yeah he's fine," he looked back and the fourteen year old smiled at him. "Let's get you to Chopper," he reached out to grab the boy but the boy was still staring at him. His eyes seemed to be going right through Liffy however, and the captain with the Straw Hat moved his head out of the way.

Jibbuie's eyes stayed unfocused where Luffy was before. "Jibi-guy?" The captain asked as his hat tilted over his eyes. The sudden feeling of rage building up in his stomach was more intense than anything he'd felt in over two years.

While a silent woman with black hair watched from the edge of the street, Luffy tilted his head up at the sky and screamed at the top of his lungs.

The crew all the way back at the Thousand Sunny could hear his yells and they all felt like doing the same thing. Each one of them felt an intense hatred for the crew that attacked them and there was only one way to quell their hate: by taking them down and getting their nakama back.

A/N Hi everyone and thanks for reading the first chapter of my new story. I've got two more chapters finished at the moment but if anyone has any ideas on new Devil Fruits or abilities that the enemies could have, feel free to let me know. I have a lot of ideas for sagas in One Piece and I'm thinking I'm going to put them all in here. For now, here's the first chapter of Brook's Abduction. Hope you enjoyed and leave a comment below telling me what you think or if you think I should add some romance. 'Till next time!
