Chapter. 2

Wow, people actually read this? xD Well sorry for the long wait but you see my laptop broke, then I had to migrate to the family computer (Which I could barely even use for an hour) So yeah, that left no time for writing whatsoever. But then I got my laptop back, but guess what! My brother had to take it with him 'coz his laptop broke! :D So yeah, I went laptopless for a while, and still am actually. xD But anyways, I better get this started, I'm way behind in liek everything lately.

"I choose...." Ispep started

This is it...

"...You!"

"Eh? !"

"Y-y-you're kidding me...!" Chopper managed to gasp out with unshed tears, tear threatening to pour out at any given minute "B-b-but...."

It had been decided; Ispep has chosen between the two monsters and was currently holding a smug face, as if he had accomplished the impossible.

The impossible in this case was disheartening the strong willed crew, the crew that feared nothing when together, not even seas or storms themselves.

But seeing their dull features, as if something precious was taken away from them-no, snatched.

This was only the begging of the cruel game called Davy Back Fight.

"AAH!" Luffy shrieked, as if the world was about to end. "YOU MONSTER! You can't take him, take the other one! Please? "

Franky faced palmed whilst Usopp punched the top of the rubber bastard's head, too bad that punch didn't do much damage.

"W-what? !" Nami strutted "Luffy you dumbass! How can you say such a thing!"

"But we'll diiiiiiiiiiiie if he takes –"

"Freaking heck... SHUT THE HELL UP!" Ispep yelled once more. Most like gaining a migraine by now, but seriously who would blame him? The Strawhats were always a headache, be it fun or serious. "Tough shit Strawhat but this is what you get out of the Davy Back Fight when you lose. Now" Ispep turned towards the person he decided to take among his crew "Let's get going!"

Everyone turned towards the chosen nakama, the used-to-be nakama.

"Well, don't have too much fun Ero-cook."

"Shut up Marimo." Said Sanji as he stuffed both hands into his pants pocket, "Just don't mess anything up shitty swordsman." and with that, he walked towards his so called captain.

A 'tch' was the only response he earned from the swordsmen.

"Nooo~~oo~o~ !" Chopper cried as he hung to the man's pants leg.

"You can't go! Who'll cook meat for me, damnit!" Luffy cried in unison, with snot and droll streaming from his face.

"Does Mugiwara only think about his stomach?" Franky asked behind the commotion.

"Apparently so Franky-san." Brook replied curtly as he drank from his mug of-whatever.

"You Shitty gomu-gomu and damned Venison, just freakin'. Let. GO!" Sanji not so lightly kicked Luffy far away into the horizon, mostly likely knocking over an unfortunate tree that decided to sprout in the wrong place; however Chopper knowing better took the warning into heart and let go in time. "Hmph."

Sanji then walked off without glancing back, most likely to dodge the disappointed or hurt looks coming from his nakama's faces. Ah, how the world hated him so much today.

"Damnit, if only I was in the next challenge I would beat everyone ass and win easy!" Usopp said stating the last line smugly, and snapping his fingers as if emphasizing his point, but as confident he might act, his voice wasn't up to par with his normal arrogant one whenever he mentioned some crazy tall tale.

"Ooh, really Usopp-o? !" Beamed Chopper momentarily forgetting his fear and anxiety "No way!"

"Yeah-way, heh heh."

"What have we gotten ourselves into too..."Nami moaned to herself, only to remember that she was following such an idiotic captain "Oh right... Anyways Zoro! You better not mess up or I'll be increasing your debt by so much that your grandchildren's grandchildren wouldn't have the audacity to even imagine of being able to pay it off!"

"Why would that matter, wouldn't you be dead by then?" Usopp let it slip.

"Ah but Brook being a skeleton already knows how it feels to be dead!"Chopper interrupted.

"Frankly Chopper-san, I found that quite rude." Brook dead-panned towards his furry friend.

"Unless you Usopp, want to share three quarters of Zoro's debt, then I advise you to shu-."

"YOSH! Zoro! You better put your damn life into this!" Usopp not even wasting a second yelled out with fear clouding his mind, imagining to owe even a small amount to the flame head literally scared the wits out of him, I mean have you seen how she could manipulate a demon just from some sum of money? Oh how devilishly scary this woman was.

'...Idiots.' The swordsmen thought to himself as the commotion happened around him.

"So it's Black leg Sanji, the master of cooking arts and kicking technique, also known to have a first bounty of 77 Million Beri on his head! What a pick our oh-glorious-captain had chosen~!" Various coloured den-den mushi emited from the higher up poles scattered across the area.

The crowd; or should I say men of Ispep (or animals, whatever fits the shoe I guess) howled from the new edition to their so called crew.

"Great choice Captain!"

"Knew you'd pic' a good one!"

"Ahwoooh!"

"Yeah! Now get the guy to cook us a feast~!"

"Yeah Capt'n!"

"I am not your servant." Sanji hissed through greeted teeth, deciding to stare daggers at the ground beneath his feet.

"Now, Now, men calm down." Ispep all but smiled when he got to his group of merry men. "We'll party as soon as we win the next round, and gather what I had wanted originally." The man stared towards the swordsmen still sat down on the grass floor.

Zoro couldn't help but look up at the feeling of being watched.

"So why hadn't you?" Robin asked, predicting what the man was meaning towards to.

"Hm? Why hadn't I picked him instead?" Ispep replied innocently, pointing an index finger towards the swordsmen.

"Yeah! If you just didn't care who you picked first then you could of picked Zoro, 'coz I wanted Sanji to coo-."

Usopp and Nami once again clearly displayed the messages of 'Don't even finish it or they will be hell to pay ' after the multiple punches went Luffy's way... Too bad it still wouldn't do a thing to that rubber body of his, lucky rubber bastard..

"Why hadn't you picked him first then?" Robin repeated herself due to her idiotic captain, but her calm demeanor stayed intact.

Ispep's lips twitched. "I've seen Roronoa in action, and to be honest if I hadn't known what threat lies with the next round, I would have without a doubt picked him instead of your cook."Ispep snicker, and looked as if he was trying his best not to do something. "You see, I know how monstrously strong you are swordsmen, and a strength such as yours shouldn't be wasted as feebly."His smile grew into a full blown smirk. "But in the next round, it'll do you no good whatsoever, not even give you an inch towards winning, pehpeh!" It was clear at this point Ispep was practically holding himself from laughing out like a maniac. Regaining some self-composure he decided he'd laugh it all out after he won the final round. I mean hey, he had this one in the bag, right?

Right?

Oh man, I actually wrote something! And with such a bad migraine too! No really, it feels as if my head will split in two at any given moment now... but at least this is done! Oh yeah, and I lied. Seems like this story is going to be a couple of chapters long instead of a two-shot. xD Excuse me but I doubt I could fit what I had originally wanted into this one chapter, unless you guys want to wait another year or two. (By the looks of things that might be my usual update)

But what a suprise, looks like everyone who reviewed thought Zoro would be picked, I gotcha ya' good, eh? But I guess you were kinda right,... but still wrong no matter how you look at it. Anyways you're free to guess what the next challenge is, I'm debating on how I'm going to write the next chapter.. Baah, but I'll get it done, one way or another. D{

Either way, hope you enjoyed this chapter! I'll be replying to the reviews as soon as possible. :D (Maybe.)
