When my time comes

So we have finally reached the worst part of this fanfic. Luffy and Zoro have gone back to the house of the evil villain to try and find the antidote to the poison that is coursing through Kumo's veins. There are a lot of distractions and battles waiting for them so will they make it in time or is it going to be too late?

DISCLAIMER TIME. I don't own one piece or the characters. Now lets get on with the story please?

Zoro cut down branches and killed a number of weird looking animals before they reached the house they had just left. "Was it really this overgrown before?" Luffy said before grabbing a snake from the ground and tying its tail around its neck to choke it.

"No, this feels weird. It's almost as if the world wants us to leave this place."

"We cant we have to save Kumo!" Luffy yelled in shock.

"I didn't say we were leaving Luffy, I said the island wants us to leave look at the woods now." Zoro said pointing behind Luffy towards the woods that were now thin and empty. "Come on or we won't make it back in time."

"Yeah let's hurry up. She was hit an hour ago we need to get back quickly." Luffy said before sprinting into the building. Zoro sighed and took a step forward before the wall blew out in pieces and a blur of red and blue shot past into one of the trees.

"Luffy are you alright?" The green haired swordsman yelled after his friend.

"Yeah, a punch like that isn't going to hurt me." He said as he ran over to the swordsman with a deadly grin on his face as blood ran down the side of his mouth. "Come on Zoro, we don't have a lot of time to beat him."

"And we still need to find the antidote." Zoro said as he smirked and pulled out the blades. "What is this thing anyway?"

"I know where the antidote is. It's inside the robots head. Oh yeah and it's a robot."

Suddenly another bash sent more bricks and boards flying towards them while a huge metal figure walked outside. Luffy grinned before running towards the giant figure and punching it using the 'Gatling gun' technique.

Zoro ran forward and sliced countless arts of the robots body only causing minute damage.

"How are we supposed to beat this thing in less than an hour?" Zoro said while he cut into one of the robots huge arms.

"I don't know, just keep hitting it." Luffy said from the other side as he smacked his face against the hard metal casing. It caused a hollow ding to ring out and an idea hit Zoro.

"Luffy this thing is hollow. If we could climb inside it we would be able to control it."

"How can we get inside it though?"

"I'll keep cutting this arm hopefully soon enough it will fall off and you will be able to climb inside. "

"Okay, I'll keep it distracted so you can do that." Luffy said before jumping onto a tree branch and making faces and a lot of noise towards the Robot.

The robot started to swing for Luffy who managed to jump away in time. After tan minutes of cutting the robots arm finally fell off. "Luffy get your ass over here!" He called to the raven haired captain.

Luffy grinned then rocketed himself over to Zoro and landed harshly on top of him. "Opp's sorry Zoro." Luffy grinned before scurrying off into the robots metal frame. "Hey, it's so cool in here. Zoro you should come and check this out!" Luffy's voice echoed from inside the robots chest.

"Luffy get the bloody antidote! We only have half an hour left to get to Kumo and chopper and we still need to kill this thing!"

"No wait, there's a button in here that says 'self destruct'. What does that mean?" Luffy said curiously. Before Zoro could answer red lights started to flash inside the robot and a warning siren sounded.

"Luffy what the hell did you do?" Zoro roared angrily.

"All I did was press the button." Luffy yelled simply. "I can't find my way out of here!" He yelled scared.

"How can you get lost in a robot Luffy?" Zoro yelled angrily.

"Say's the guy who got lost on a straight road!" Luffy yelled as he popped up at the robots head. "I found the antidote Zoro!" He called happily.

A strange buzz filled the air just before the robot started to count down. Five….four….three….two….one….BOOM!

The two were sent flying across the trees that failed to stop them from flying past. They landed on the sandy beach with a crash as the sand was blown up around them. Zoro shot up and called out for his friend. "Where are you Luffy?" He called before noticing Luffy's bright red shirt just a little away from him. "Is it really this hard to kill you?" He muttered as he walked over and stamped on his stomach. "Come on Luffy wake up Kumo needs this antidote in the next ten minutes." As soon as Zoro uttered Kumo's name Luffy was off in a shot.

"Zoro let's go or she's going to die!" He yelled from up in the trees.

"It would help if you didn't run away you bastard!" Zoro yelled angrily as he watched Luffy zip around in the trees above him.

"Well I'm still her aren't I?" Luffy laughed as Zoro growled at him. "Come on Zoro we need to get back to Chopper!" Luffy said happily as he wrapped his stretched out arm around Zoro's waist before dragging him up onto a tree branch, after hitting his face on ten on the way up. "Come on Zoro," Luffy pouted as he placed his friend on the branch, "We still need to get to Kumo and Chopper and we only have seven minutes left."

Zoro didn't answer so Luffy shrugged and put Zoro on his back before jumping through the trees towards the ship.

It took longer than he thought to reach the ship. When he did reach the ship however everyone was there. Chopper looked up at Luffy with tears in his eyes. He didn't need to say anything though because Luffy already knew what had happened. He dropped Zoro on the deck and ran into the lounge where Kumo was laying. He walked over slowly and put his hand on top of hers as a tear fell from his eye.

She was pale and cold; her eyes that had shone so bright and reminded Luffy of the ocean were closed. Her pink lips were now cold and grey. Her hair had lost its shine and lay limply around her like a dark veil. He collapsed into one of the chairs as he sobbed still holding onto her limp and lifeless hand.

"Kumo, don't leave me. Please Kumo I need you. Please don't go." He sobbed. He remembered the antidote that was in his pocket and wiped his eyes dry. "Chopper!" He called.

"Luffy what's wrong?" Chopper asked as he rushed into the room. Luffy looked up and grinned at his furry friend.

"I got the antidote! It can still work cant it? Chopper, please say it will work."

"It might Luffy but she already died. It might not work."

"As long as it might work that's fine!" He said happily as he pushed the antidote into Choppers hand.

Chopper hesitantly got a syringe and injected the antidote into Kumo's lifeless body. "There Luffy, It might not work remember so don't get too excited about it." Chopper said before going out the room and leaving Luffy.

"It's never too late, right Kumo? It will work, I know it will." He said.

He spent the whole night holding her hand and waiting for her eyes to open, waiting for her lips to become that pink colour, waiting for her to come back, but she didn't. Chopper walked in and put a hoof on Luffy's back. "Luffy, she's gone. It was too late for her. Come on, Luffy it's time to go." He said softly as his captain sobbed to himself.

So what you think guys? I really like this chapter actually I think it shows a soft side of Luffy that isn't shown as often as it should. Anyway don't forget to review this I like hearing from you guys and I will see you in the next chapter. PEACE OUT DUDES!
