Zolo: She doesn't own One Piece or any of its cast (thank god) But she does own Zano and kat to there dismay.


-Come Hell or High Water-chapter 2

Zano immediately concentrated on breaking the necks of his attackers with the sand and did the innocent men a swift death. Most likely they were just following some dirty sags orders. Some Marines would abuse there power and there was only one Marine who you've heard of that didn't abuse the strength. Smoker.

You put one hand on the ground and bent down with a kunai in your left hand. Three marines came up to you and attacked you with katanas. You blocked the katana from your right with the blade of your kunai. And you blocked the on your left with the small metal protector piece on your glove. Now where is the other one?

You threw off the one on your right and got inside his guard and stabbed him in the stomach. The other one you stabbed in the same place after you gripped his katana and pulled it up leaving him vulnerable for the attack.

Human blood coated your hands, leaving your black gloves with a red tint. You heard the movements of the other swordsman from the sound of an unrepaired deck. You turned to block the up coming attack aimed at your spinal chord. You closed your eyes for the thought of being too late.

You opened your eyes seeing two katanas meeting a feeble blade. Before you could retaliate a man wearing green had blocked the attack with his swords. He was only using two but you saw the third in cased. You caught his eyes for a half of a second, and then you returned to fighting.

Zano had mutilated to many today you saw his pupils where dilating. You ran over to him and gripped his shoulders, you shook him into looking at your eyes. He looked at your eyes, but his eyes widened when he saw yours.

"Kat.-look out!" He moved you behind him and his ultimate defense quickly blocked the attack. (like Sabuka no Gaara's in Naruto.) He breathing had become faster.

"Kat get ready." You looked at the attacker. It was Ino and her minions were behind her.

She said directing to the two fighters, "What are you two doing? I thought you were on my crew." In her small hands was a sword that was at least two times bigger than her. The sword itself was wrapped in cloth, it had a small handle but strong enough to be held up. The weight of the sword made the user where lightweight clothing.

In Ino's case revealing clothing.

You scanned the area for more attackers. There was only Sanji (his eye was a heart from seeing Ino' wearing see-through skimpy clothing. Currently he was wiping a nosebleed with a wash clothe.), Nami, Zano, you, Ino, and her crew.

You moved your hands to your coat pockets and pulled out eight senbon, four in each hand. A senbon is a needle like weapons usually laced with poison. You smirked, and tipped your hat at her.

"Well, I guess you were wrong." You put your body in a fighting stance. You feet were spread wide, left foot foward and your left hand in front. Your right hand in the back, senbon sticking out. You directly looked at her with venomous eyes.

A vein popped out of her head and she charged at you, her raised sword ready to hit flesh. You jumped back avoiding the attack, the sword crashed into the deck. And you quickly threw you right hand's senbon at her neck, not giving her a chance to recover.

Zano was in the background and solemnly cheering you on with his silence. He knew you could beat her it was just the fact that anger sometimes made you play with your prey. Like a cat and mouse. Rather panther and snake.

He saw the four senbon aimed for her neck. Slowly the poison would take control of her. He felt the presence of Death come, the breeze giving a sickening twist on fate.

He shivered on his left was the man wearing a black bandanna with three swords. He watched you and Ino face off in a battle that would determine the two intruders fates. On Zano's right was Sanji's who held Nami unconscious. She was hit by the hilt of a blade hard.

Secretly Sanji was glad she couldn't see him holding her. He held her in a bridal like style, using his hand to keep her head up. The blonde was smoking up a storm watching a 'boy' fight a lady never less.

The girl finally managed to hit you but her blade didn't slice it shaves. She pulled her blade back, ripping part of your arm with her.

But her face was sweaty and you saw her drop her sword and hold her neck, she had already thrown the senbon that was stuck in her neck off the ship.

She gasped for air, being cold to her you ignored her death and motioned for Zano to come to your side.

Being in a code name because he knew what would happen if a certain person found out your real name he said, "Kyle? What is it?"

You tried to tell him the words, "Sand-Kunai." You stopped. Your thoughts were filled as the pain of memories flowed through you.

He flung one of your arms around his shoulders, he muttered under his mask directing towards the startled crew a thank you. And proceeded to get off the ship.

Abruptly a boy with a straw hat flung into the air and landed on his damaged ship. With a terrifying speed he flew on top of us.

"HI!" The boy said to the bug-eyed crew in the background.

"Luffy, you idiot get off of them!" The swordsman yelled prying off the rubber-man. "Can't you tell there injured!"

Luffy gave him one of his idiotic smiles and said, "Huh, what are you talking about Zolo?"

Zolo pointed at the two bodies he had crushed. "Them! You dobe!" He hit him on the head.

Luffy rubbed his head and said, "What was that for?" Luffy then wished he never did that.

Zolo hit him with the hilt of his sword(s). "You baka."

Then it was Sanji's turn to help out he placed Nami on the ground and broke the two apart. "Stop it now!" The two men stopped there bickering to listen to the cook for once.

"We have to help these people. Obviously the two need money and medical help if they came and tied Nami and us up." On a softer tone he added. "Besides they helped get rid of the Marines, and Chopper would never let them go."

Zolo stared at Zano and your body as Zano got onto his feet.

"No, its okay guys." Zano said he rubbed the back of his head sheepishly. "We're fine."

"Liar." Zolo said off the bat.

Right on cue Chopper came out of his cabin and ran out. "Hi guys-WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED HERE!" The reindeer said with a frightened face.

Zano muttered a , "crap." As the doctor tried to help him and his friend.

"You need help now." He grabbed Zano's arm but he wriggled out of it easily.

"Thanks, but no thanks." Zano turned his back to the crew and said, "Be seeing you all later." He waved them off with a hand.

A strong hand grabbed his shoulder. And in a gruff voice said, " No. You need medical attention." In a firm voice he said, "Now."

Zano turned his head to see a gigantic reindeer taller than him, he thought how could a once puny animal grow in an enormous rate?

Zano used his sand to pry the grip off of him. "I said no thanks." He then ran to the side of the ship and was going to jump off.

Chopper gasped a surprise. Luffy hit him on the head with his hammer attack. "Sorry about that," said the ambitious pirate.

"Thanks Luffy." He was going to grab you but Zolo beat him to it.

"It's all right Chopper, let me help." He picked you up and placed you in his arms. Your eyes were shut and your mouth had a small trail of blood dripping. 'Odd people.'

Luffy bursted out breaking the silence, "They are going to join my crew! " He threw his arms in the air.

Sanji had Zano and Nami in his arms, "How do you know that Luffy?" He looked at his captain while he said that containing a small smile.

"Because I just know it!" He bursted out he used his devil fruit powers to go to the crow's nest.

Inwardly Sanji thought, 'They would fit perfectly here.' He went down the stairs placing the sand man and his Nami swan in the infirmary. 'Yeah I think I'm right.'

She walks in beauty, like the night

Of cloudless climes and starry skies,

And all that's best of dark and bright

Meet in her aspect and her eyes;

Thus mellow'd to that tender light

Which Heaven to guady day denies.
