A/N: Once again, I am very sorry about the delay. Stuff seems to keep getting in the way of working on this fanfic no matter how hard I try. Regardless, here's the new chapter. Let me know what you think and if you have and ideas or thoughts for it.

"RRUUUUUUUUNNNNN!" Usopp screamed, after he counted the number of intimidating assassins in surrounding them. There was thirty, countering their nine, and they were armed with frightening weapons.

"Calm down Usopp. I'll handle this." Zoro said unfazed. "Robin, I'm going to take them all out with Santoryu Soaring Phoenix. Then we can move on."

Robin smiled at both Zoro's sincerity and tenacity for trying to use three swords. "Although that is very brave of you Kenshi-san, it is not possible for you to use that move with only one sword." Zoro grumbled as Robin continued. "Also, the dice determine the effectiveness of an attack.

"I told you I have three swords." he grumbled.

"I know what you want, but the game just started. You have to work further to become stronger."

"I already am strong. This is crap. Why would I want to pretend to be someone weaker than I actually am."

Sanji was becoming irritated with this conversation. He did not have near the patience for Zoro that Robin did, and spoke up. "It's just a game you dumb Marimo. Shut up and follow the rules that lovely Robin-chan has given us."

"Do you want to get sliced up, curly boy?"

"Come on! I'll kick you so hard, your momma will feel it."

"I don't need this. I'm taking a nap." With that, Zoro leaned his head back against the mast and began to snore.

"I'm sorry, Robin-chan, for that Neanderthal's behavior. I will follow your rules and attack the guys in front of me."

Robin rolled the dice, indicating a critical hit. Franky also stepped up to the battle, and effectively used his double axe attack to knock out five assassins around him. Brook decided to sing an encouraging song to boost the team's morale, which proved effective. Within three turns Sanji, Franky, and Robin (being a skilled archer) took out the crowd of assassins, allowing them to move along with their initial operation.

"Luffy," Nami spoke in her trademark tone. "how come you didn't do anything to fight against the assassins?"

"I'm hungry! I cant go on without meat." He whined.

"You're an idiot."

"Well you didn't fight either, Nami."

"That's because I'm a thief. I steal things, not fight. Besides, I've got all these strong men around me to protect me." Sanji began fawning over Nami and swearing his protection to her.

The group continued on their way to seize the construction delivery. Their journey lasted about another half hour until they reached the point of intersection.

"What do we do now Robin?" Luffy asked eagerly.

"That is up to all of you, as to what we do next." she replied.

"When will the wagon cross our path?" Franky joined in.

"Within twenty minutes."

All eyes turned to Luffy, since he was the head of the group, just as in reality. He returned their gazes with a blank stare of his own until Usopp avidly asked him to make a move.

"Twenty minutes, huh?" Luffy said, stroking his chin as if he were deep in thought. "That's plenty of time to find something to eat."

Everyone's faces fell into their hands, trying to recover from that statement. It took quite some coaxing, but it was Nami who finally got Luffy to understand what was going on. She tried to put it into terms that he would understand by telling him that the king was causing an injustice to the people and they were struggling to survive.

That seemed to light a fire under his ass and immediately he ordered that they would stop the wagon. Nami let out a sigh of frustration. That was the plan from the beginning and for some reason, Luffy never got that. He was such an idiot. Never the less the group waited in the bushes for the wagon to arrive.

Like Robin had said, within twenty minutes (in game time) the delivery was upon them. Nami started by creating a distraction. She stumbled out of the bush she was stationed in, hair tousled and attire disheveled. "Oh thank god!" she wailed, throwing herself at the driver. "I've been wandering these woods for days! Please tell me you are headed towards civilization."

Just then, from behind the wagon, a man on horseback appeared. It seemed to be more of a caravan than a delivery. There were five more men on horseback, following the wagon. From what Nami gathered, they were heavily armed under their cloaks, which seemed rather odd for a delivery of construction materials.

"Why are you out here miss?" the man asked.

"I don't quite remember. You see," Nami dramatically placed the back of her hand to her forehead. "I woke up laying on the ground and have been trying to find my way into a town ever since. I'm not sure how much time has passed. Could I get a ride with you to wherever you are going? I promise I wont be any trouble."

The man eyed her up and down in both suspicion and attraction. "I'm sorry miss, but we cannot take on any passengers in this trip."

"Why is that? I promise I will be well behaved."

"We are under strict instructions from the king to get this delivery where it needs to be, and fast."

"And where is that going?"

"That is not for you to know, now if you will excuse us, we have to get moving."

"You would leave a poor, helpless woman alone in the woods?"

"I really am sorry, but I cant stray from the orders I was given."

"Well that's too bad that you say that."

"Oh yeah? And why is that?"

At that moment, the rest of the group emerged from the bushes, weapons ready, and surrounded the caravan. Nami drew a knife that was attached to her leg, hidden by her cloak. The men on horseback drew their weapons as the driver of the wagon sat in terror. Luffy came up beside Nami and narrowed his gaze at the man that had been talking to her. "That wasn't very nice of you to leave this nice woman in the woods. I hate people like you."

"Like I said, kid, I'm following orders. Please, we don't want any trouble."

One of the other men called out him from by the wagon. "That's the leader of that group of irritating vigilantes who oppose the king."

"Too bad." Luffy said in a low voice. "I'm going to give you trouble. Raising taxes on the poor people of this land for selfish desires is unforgivable. I'm going to kick your asses and stop this delivery."

After asking Robin What he could do in battle as a druid, Luffy attacked with his ice storm spell. The dice declared effective and the man was knocked out. Now to take care of the other men. Sanji and Franky took on two of the men while Usopp, Chopper, and Zoro took on the other three. Working together, the guys successfully knocked out the other men, leaving only the wagon driver. He was still cowering on the other side of the wagon.

Zoro walked around to where the driver was hiding. "Oy." he yelled, utilizing his intimidate skill. "Why don't you get lost, and I wont hurt you." The man ran off down the road in the direction the wagon was coming from.

"What do you wish to do now?" Robin questioned.

"We should search the contents of the wagon." Nami said eagerly. "There could be treasure in there!"

The crew gathered at the back of the wagon. Luffy pulled the canvas to one side slowly. Everyone peered into the wagon an were surprised at what they saw.
