Mr.8, who's true name was Iggaram, was repeatedly shooting at the 2 strangers in an insane rage, yelling at (true name Vivi) to escape. however he was soon met with an explosion that came from nowhere. As they all stared in shock, their attention was immediately diverted by rather loud laughter coming from the woman known as , they soon saw that she was in the air.
'HOW THE HELL IS SHE FLYING?!' Link thought as his eyes were nearly popping out of his head from pure shock. Vivi pulled out the weapon she used when she tried to kill me, and attempted to attack the flying woman.
Link saw Zoro jump off and grabbed a still sleeping Luffy, and dragged him off. He soon followed, but couldn't help but notice Mr.9 bowing to Vivi. However he just kept running off.
Link and Zoro turned around when they heard screaming to see Mr.5 flick a booger at Mr.9, as soon as it came in contact with him, it exploded, sending him flying back.
'Okay, one can fly, the other has snot bombs, How the f*** is that possible?' Link had to know, he was about to ask Zoro when he felt a hand around his ankle and saw a slightly bloodied face of Iggaram. Iggaram pleaded "Swordsmen I have a most unreasonable request, but I need people with strength such as yours" "can you let us go?" both of them replied. Iggaram continued " But those villains possess devil fruit powers, and there is nothing I can do to stop them. That is why I am begging you now, please protect princess Vivi of Alabasta in my place! Please"
Vivi began to run, only to be chased by the 2.
"Surely you will be rewarded, if you can get the princess safely to our noble home of Alabasta Kingdom. I am just a humble servant, but please I'm begging you to do this, please protect the princess, I beg you" Iggaram was begging desperately.
Link felt pity for the man, he had an idea where he was coming from, he was once again reminded about the King. Zoro however had a different opinion "FORGET IT! UNTIL A FEW MINUTES AGO YOU WERE TRYING TO KILL US! WHAT DO YOU THINK I AM A FOOL?"
"about this reward" Nami said, practically appearing out of nowhere "I'll take it, how's a billion sound?" All 3 of them stared at her in shock, they were all thinking one of 2 thoughts 'a billion?' or 'where the hell did she come from?'
"I thought you were asleep?" Zoro said in a rather calm matter. "give me some credit, who in their right mind would sleep in a town that welcomes pirates, like whiskey peak? it was all an act, a charade, pretend. oh i can't drink anymore, but i have to win the contest." Zoro then scoffed, Link just stared, while Iggaram was still trying to recollect himself from slight shock. "so why don't you promise us that reward, huh captain? cuz if we don't agree to save your precious princess, then she's probably gonna die" Nami said in a slightly eerie smile. Iggaram finally was able to speak "I am but a simple soldier, i cannot promise such an immense reward" "surely you weren't suggesting your princess' life is worth less than that? Right?" Nami retorted still wearing an aura of cockiness. "I cannot promise anything, but if you're willing to deliver the princess, then you would best negotiate the terms of the reward with her!" "which means I have to save her first huh?" Nami said in a smug confirmation. Link was getting a bit sick of her greedy attitude, and had to say something. "Please understand, her life is danger" Both Iggaram, and Link said in unison. "All right, all right, I'll save the princess" Iggaram sighed a breath of relief.
Nami then pointed and said "Well? go get her" "What" Link said at the same time as Zoro said "Screw that! No!" "If you want to make money, fine! But you don't have to involve me in it!" Zoro yelled. Link silently agreed, since he often had to do errands for people. He then walked off to help Vivi while Zoro and Nami were arguing. Luffy woke up, and went off to a bathroom. After some blackmail Zoro ran after Link.
Link was running around looking for Vivi, he heard an explosion nearby and ran off to it. After another exposion he ran twice as fast.
When he got there he heard an explanation of Mr.5's and 's powers, and even a display of them. A bomb was set (using Mr.5's snot) Link jumped in the way and used his shield to protect them from the bomb "Eww, I got snot on my shield" Link couldn't help but say out of disgust. Vivi was about to attack him when Zoro pointed his sword giving a short explanation.
"I take it you 2 are the ones to beat up all the lowly employees that where stationed out here" said in hopes of verification "why would you want to protect the princess of Alabasta?" Mr.5 followed "Let's just say we have our reasons" Zoro replied in a slightly cold voice. "Well, one way or another, we're gonna have to eliminate you, you se you're in our way" Mr.5 said in a similar tone. soon laughed in following "oh, what a shame"
Luffy showed up screaming for Zoro's head, he found out but was completely misunderstanding, a complete fight broke out between them "Zoro, I'll let you take care of him! I'll protect Vivi!"
-(Link's POV)-
I equipped the power bracelets for safety, the living bomb ran up to me first, leaving himself completely open. I was ready to hit him in the face when Luffy was flying into them, crashing into a building, which in a few seconds exploded multiple times.
Soon that annoying laughter was above me, that feather woman was flying again, talking about burying me. Vivi started warning me to move when I saw that Luffy was walking out dragging a bloody, unconscious, Mr.5.
was shouting some crap while I was trying to pay attention to the fight, I heard her call me a jackass and came crashing down above me, i just backed up slightly and caught her, then head butted and dropped her.
I then sat down to watch the fight. I was actually curious to see how strong Luffy was, he took down a living bomb in under 1/2 a minute. The 2 started to pummel each other.
After a minute the road was wreaked, Vivi started to try walking through, only to find the 2 running out of the buildings running ready to kill the other.
The 2 we knocked out woke up and ran to them in hopes of revenge, only to end up with me hitting each of them with an uppercut."You'll just die if you get caught up in that"
