Chasing dreams: Chapter 7
Summary: During the encounter with Admiral Aokiji, he leaves Luffy with a parting gift that shocks the Monkey greatly. "No matter what you do in the future, Straw Hat Luffy, take care of her and give her the one thing I could never give her…happiness…" The cards of destiny are changing. But to what extent?

Nami spotted a piece of paper that fell out of the strap of Sogeking's bag and went to go pick it up and read the contents.
Nami.
Knowing you, you'd find this first in Usopp's or Sogeking's possession. Whatever he's calling himself right now.
I need you to tell Sanji and Sogeking that I'm sorry for hurting them like that.
Also please calm Chopper down. He must be sprouting stuff about a Lava-monster…
Nami looked over to the reindeer and saw exactly what the note said and moved over to Chopper and patted his head as she gave him a reassuring smile. "She'll be fine, Chopper. Remember; she's smarter than Luffy." Sensing that Chopper had calmed down a bit and returned to the note.
I'm also writing to warn you. This battle will be like nothing you've ever faced before.
It's a battle of time. When you get to Enies Lobby, don't hold back. No matter what you do.
One last thing…
Prove to Robin that you won't ever betray her.
-Luka.
Nami didn't have to be told twice about the situation and did as the note told her to and apologised to Sanji and Sogeking on Luka's behalf. "It's either all or nothing, everyone!" Nami called out. "We're going up against the World Government so there's no turning back once we get to Enies Lobby. Even if we're on our last breath, we'll fight to the very end!" Nami's prep rally getting everyone into high and determined spirits.
"Nami?" Luffy voiced with a tilt of his head.
The navigator gave Luffy a confident grin and voiced. "We'll save them, Luffy and then we'll go find more adventures and have fun together again. We'll most definitely save them…because…I see Robin and Luka as my own sisters. But of course Luka doesn't need to be saved."
"What are you on about woman?" Zoro narrowing his eyes dangerously. "Of course she needs to be saved. That idiot is in danger, especially since her skills only come forth when she allows her instincts to take over. What is this baka-navigator thinking?" Rubbing his head throbbing head. "Why does that girl affect me the way she does? It's almost like…nah it can't be. I must be imagining things."
Nami waved Zoro off and said. "Because she said we need to save Robin first." Holding out the note she found. "If you read between the lines, Luka's saying that Robin has to come first and she can handle herself. She'll be fine. Right Luffy?" giving him the thumbs up.
Luffy chuckled as he read the note and replied. "Of course. Let's save Robin, guys!"
"YEAH!" Sanji, Chopper, Nami and Sogeking hollered and Zoro palmed his face. Still not understanding what was happening. Feeling this need to cut something to release his frustration and so far, Sanji was the prime candidate.

Franky, Robin and Luka finally reached Enies Lobby with the two females having to be placed in sea-stone handcuffs as Franky was tied up in chains and were ushered through the first gate of the island. Robin sensing Luka's uneasiness and quietly stood in front of her to block her from the sight of the males around them. "Luka…" Robin whispered.
"I-I'm fine." Luka stuttered back in a hush-hush tone. Yet she still tried to hid behind Robin, Kalifa and Blueno. "Just keep w-walking." She voiced shyly. Kaku noticed Luka's hands shaking visibly and wondered what caused her sudden insecurity and looked around to the love-struck marines and agents. Clicking the pieces in place and sympathised with the young girl. Now wondering why her older brother, Luffy, warned him not to do anything funny to the female that was still on the ship. It appeared that the girl suffered a traumatic experience with perverts. Lucci enjoyed watching the young brunette as she shivered in fear and got a great whiff of her emotions that acted like his high. Oh he definitely wouldn't let her go no matter what. But what the group didn't know was that Luka was trying to hold herself back from beating those perverts into a pulp and spilling their blood. Sanji was the exception since Luffy trusts him.
They all walked through the empty red-rocked village with Luka already scoping out escape routes just encase and didn't wince every time she stood on a sharp rock as she kept her gaze dead ahead since there was no perverts in sight. All walking across the lowered drawbridge and into Enies Lobby. Robin looking down at Luka to see that there was something going on in the back of the young girl's mind and kept quiet. Hoping that Luka's words about Luffy coming to rescue them no matter what was all a lie but the words from Franky about having a special nakama that's willing to risk their life for her were the best of the best out there and that she was a lucky woman to have friends like the Straw Hats.
The trio stood outside the large doors that led into the large office on the top floor of Enies Lobby. Holding all members of CP9 and their boss, Spandam. Franky looking over to the two females and saw that they were both calm and asked Luka. "You act the complete opposite of StrawHat. Are you sure you're siblings?"
Luka briefly glanced over at him before returning her gaze dead ahead and answered. "Hai. But you could say that we fill-in for each other's weaknesses and blind spots. I'll always protect him and he will always look for me. It's an odd relationship but it works, yeah." Robin keeping silent about Luka's choice of words as Franky cried out in sympathy. "Looks like it is our turn." Luka muttered as the office doors opened and all three were pushed into the office to see an odd looking man in a leather mask. He seemed a bit clumsy too.
"Franky. Nico Robin." Spandam greeted and caught sight of the third captive and whistled as he stalked around her. "And this must be the apple of everybody's eye. Miss Monkey D Luka of the Black List. Oh Lucci you have no idea how much this fish will bring in for me. The Marines will be having frenzy." Spandam laughed as he played with a lock of her hair and for Luka kicking the man over the head and sent him flying into a wall.
"I don't plan on turning her in." Lucci voiced as Luka rolled her eyes with a snort. Franky gazing over to Spandam and saw that Luka knocked out his two front teeth and nodded in respect.
"Damn Sis. Don't wanna be on your bad side." The cyborg commented as Spandam gathered himself out of the wall and marched on over to Luka and whacked her over the face. Yet she let out no noise and spat out the blood into his eye the made him holler out in pain and scuffle over his desk before he landed face-first onto the stone ground. "Ouch." Franky winced with Robin watching over the young girl's actions carefully. Noticing how Luka hadn't said a word since she entered the office and had an eerie calm and dangerous air around her that sent shivers down Robin's spine. Considering she was the only one who picked up on the young brunette's sudden change.
"You bitch!" Spandam shouted over at the cold eyes of Luka and eep-ed as he hid behind his desk. "D-Do you k-know who I am?!" he shouted at her and got no reply. Just the same cold-I'm-better-than-you-and-I'm-bored-out-of-my-mind eyes. Scuttling back as she approached him yet what he didn't expect was for her to answer his Den-Den Mushi.
"Spandam. What took you so long?" An authoritive and gruff voice spoke as Luka held the receiver in front of Spandam's face.
"A-ah sorry for that. Just a minor issue with the prisoners, Sir."
"I see. I received a report that you pulled out an X-file retaining sensitive information."
"Y-yes sir. That's true."
"Good. Have you told anybody about it?"
"No Sir."
"Very well. Forget you ever discovered the file ever existed. Who knows what will happen to you after all your years of service." The snail cutting off with Luka dropping her end to whack against the desk and moved back over to Franky and Robin.
"You! You did this didn't you?!" Spandam hollered at Luka in a fit of rage and embarrassment. "How did you know that man was going to call?! Just because you're some big-timer you get special privileges! Hmm?! Is that what it is?!"
Luka raised a brow in confusion and looked to Robin who only shook her head then over to Franky whom shrugged his shoulders. Kalifa giggled and explained to the befuddled leader. "Whatever you're going on about, Spandam, this young monkey doesn't have a clue. It seems there's a void in her mind being heavily blocked by an expert of the highest degree. I've already tried to hypnotise her but her mind is like Imperial Down. It's impossible." Giggling once more as Kaku gave a nod as he tried too. Her mind was impossible for them to enter. Though as Spandam tried to open his mouth, Kalifa pushed up her glasses and said. "That's sexual harassment."
"B-but I didn't say anything!" Spandam cried in disbelief with Luka once more kicking him across the room with a dark cloud appearing over her head. Robin, Kaku, Lucci, Jabra and Kumadori all realising that it was because of Spandam's coping a feel on the young girl that she lashed out. Robin kept quiet as Spandam picked himself up again and went to attack her only for Luka to get in the way and blocked his fist with her free legs. "Get out of my way!" he yelled. Only for Luka to switch feet and knock him back down.
Spandam having enough of being humiliated, especially since the CP9 members wouldn't help him out and grabbed his elephant sword. Dashing towards Robin once more and only to be blocked by Luka once again. Giving him the full flash of her black panties that she honestly didn't care about right now. "MOVE IT BITCH!" he yelled at her and tried cutting through her leg though it was futile as Luka just lowered her leg and lightly knocked his ass and sent him towards Franky. Both having a friendly game of kick-the-Spandam as Robin watched on in shock and conceal humour. Even the CP9 members had a hard time figuring out what the two captors were up to. Yet they saw no threat from the two, just seeing that the duo was mostly aiming for Spandam's face and crown jewels. Luka missed Franky's toss on purpose and let Spandam fly past her and into his desk. Breaking it in two. Both happy with their fill and moved back to their designated spots by Robin.
"AGENTS! Take them away!" Spandam shouted as CP-agents from other branches came on through with Franky taking one last crack at the panda and bit his head. Leaving the two brunette's in shock as someone was willing to do that as Spandam ran around the office hollering for help. Luka picking up on the conversation between Blueno and Fukuro about her brother's adventures and inwardly grinned that he managed to get to the island okay. Following Franky and Robin out of the office as the Agents dragged them along and complied fairly. Though before the doors closed, Luka looked over her shoulder to Spandam with a malicious grin and flipped him the finger behind her chained back making him whimper and enraged at the same time.
After getting chained up and left alone, Robin asked Luka. "Why did you do that? You'll only infuriate Spandam even more." Franky wondering the same thing as Luka shook her head as the CP9 agents left the office and heard the Commander's disturbing laugh. Lucci coming over to Luka and tugged on her chains to see that she couldn't escape.
"We'll be heading to the Marine's Headquarters soon. Then you'll be mine officially…hmm…" Lucci hummed in delight as the pigeon cooed. "Your scent is becoming more intoxicating by the second but I won't touch you till everything is complete. Till then." Lucci gave off a bloody smirk that had no effect on her with him leaning forward and flicked out his tongue quickly to lick her cheek. Suddenly moving several steps away from her and covered his nose. Luka seeing his lustful and darkened gaze and watched as he left till she could no longer hear his footsteps before taking in a deep breath and sighed away all her anxiety and stress from being sexually harassed by the large cat.
"AYA Sis. You've been quiet all this time." Franky voiced as Luka could only let out a silent laugh and showed them why. Easily breaking the Kurosuki cuffs and destroyed the chains that left Robin and Franky stunned as Luka stood up and stretched her body. "W-what…?"
"I see…" Robin voiced and explained to Franky. "She was never here in the first place. Were you?" Luka nodding as she gestured to the office door. "You haven't been here ever since the office doors open. How though?" Luka's face scrunched up on how to explain without words and instead showed Robin her Devil Fruit abilities and gestured that she wasn't too sure on how to use them. "The Kurosuki cuff?" Robin pressed on. Luka looked around the place a bit till she found a white stone and wrote on the brick floor for Robin to read. "Train. Swapped with fake. 25% chance. Barrier clone. 15% strength." Luka tried to explain and looked to her hands as they started to glow and fade. Reaching over to Robin and held her face gently with a reassuring smile as to say. 'We'll save you. No matter the cost.' Before she slowly faded away as Robin shouted. "Wait! Luka!" her words falling on deaf ears as Luka's clone dispersed. The marines rushing over to Robin's voice and saw that one of the prisoners escaped.
"You're one lucky woman, Nico Robin." Franky cried as he tried to wipe his gushing tears. "You didn't notice in the office but Luka-nee-chan saved you from getting hurt by that Spanda-guy by always moving in front of you and taking the attacks meant for you. Well since lovely girl has escaped, do you want to try now?" grinning largely at the still stunned female.

Sanji and his team where ploughing through the streets of the Government island on top of the King Yagara. "Our Capitan's waiting for us. We'll make it through no matter what." He voiced as he led the Yagara over the marines and agents.
"Hurry it up you third-rate cook." Zoro grumbled as he sliced through a cannon ball aimed his way. Feeling his heart constrict at the thought of Luka being taken away from him and shook the feeling off with his heart returning to normal. Eyes hardening in determination to save those two troublesome and problematic brunettes. He needed to focus more than ever. Sanji trying to remain his cool as he dodged to oncoming bullets. Though he swore Zoro deflected one over to him and tried to ignore the vein about to burst on his forehead.
With Luffy:
Luffy looked behind in him in surprise to see that the large amount of Marines and Agents suddenly fall to their knees and were knocked out. Even the ones in front of him meet the same fate and laughed loudly as he took to the roofs as the attackers around him fell like flies the closer they got to him. Yet that didn't stop Luffy from taking a shortcut and propelling himself halfway over the town to the top of the courthouse. "Arigato ya." He grinned as he climbed onto the roof and looked over the town to see mass groups of marines and agents falling and whistled. Patting his pockets and grinned widely as he felt the hunk that was in there and faced towards the Enies Lobby. Looking up to its impressive height. "Robin must be in there. Oh there's no door, but I'm sure I can fly across." Leaping down off the stand as he saw a distortion in the air. "What?"
"Air Door." A deep and gruff male voice sounded. An actual door of air opening to reveal a broad man with his hair styled like a bull. Only for the man to be sucked back in leaving behind a confused Rubberman and he rubbed his chin.
"Ehh? Where did the cow go?" looking around the roof for the answer and noticed that the Marines and Agents stopped falling and punched his hand in understanding. "So that's it."
XXXX
"Yes I'm fine. Spread the word. I'll see you all soon. That's a promise." The female twin of the Monkey family hung up the Den-Den Mushi with a relieved sigh. Looking around to her surroundings to see a hoard of bodies strewn about with her sitting on top of the strongest member that tried to take her down. Watching as a large sea-train with a rocket shaped engine come crashing through the Lobby doors and raised her arms to cover herself from the debris being sent her way and coughed as dust got into her lungs.
"WE MADE IT!" Luffy hollered as he emerged from the rubble. Franky helping up Kokoro and her bunch that left Luka looking over her and her nose bleed. Wondering how that was their only injury. "Come on you guys! Get up!" Luffy ordered as he looked to his buried crew and heard them complain that they weren't like him and his rubber body. Yet that didn't stop them from hollering out and pushing the rubble off top of them.
Chopper was the first to recover his senses as he smelt the familiar homely scent of Luka and saw her sitting on top of pile bloody and beaten men; along with a member of CP9 that was covered in small puncture wounds and bruises. Chopper crying out in happiness as he dashed over to Luka in his hybrid form that he toppled over her mountain of men to capture her in his arms and wept into her hair as she tried her best to comfort him. Sanji seeing her in sight too and followed Chopper's example then by Nami and Franky.
None of the four knowing that she slipped under them and cracked her back and walked over to Luffy with a large grin. "You're welcome." Both pumping fists with determined eyes. both willing to protect their friends no matter the cost.
Flashback:
Shanks saw Luffy being stepped on by the bandit that poured his drink and food all over him just a few hours ago. Lucky Roo having shot the bandit that placed a gun to his Capitan's head and shot him down as he picked at his meat. The leader of the bandit crew ordering his men all to attack the pirates with Beckman stepping forward. "Let me do it. One will be enough." Shanks stepping back to allow his first mate to do so.
"W-wait! Come back here! What will you Oji-san think when he hears about this?" The pirate crew heard the Mayor call out and saw a small little girl no older than 7, step in front of Beckman and held her hand out in front of his to stop him from advancing. "Young lady, get back here this instant."
"Shuddup you old fart." The young girl hissed and glared over at the Mayor as the bandits drew closer. "Go ahead and tell him. I'll beat his wrinkly ass too." Two pipes appearing in her hands and just as Beckman was about to stop her she disappeared from his sight and the next he saw was all the bandits on the floor withering in pain or knocked out cold and missing a few teeth. The young child reappearing in front of the leader of the bandits and held her pipe to his family jewels and asked. "Get your filthy paws of him this instant."
Luffy looked up with tears in his eyes and said. "Sorry! They were saying mean things about shanks and the guys! I couldn't help it!" The young girl dropped one of her pipes and held the one left over like a baseball bat and swung hard. Getting the bandit straight in the balls that had the men watching cringe. Luffy about to reach for her outstretched hand when he was suddenly pulled away by the hollering and crying bandit as he released a smokescreen and fled with him.
Makino raced forward and wrapped her arms around the girl that was on the verge of a killing spree and calmed her down. "Don't do it, Luka-chan. You're still a growing kid and I'm sure that Luffy-kun wouldn't want you to get hurt trying to save him."
"Trying?" The now introduced Luka for the red-haired pirates heard her speak. "I will save him! That stupid brother of mine always causes trouble!" Shanks looked down at the girl in shock and saw the close resemblance to her and Luffy. Walking over to Makino and Luka and patted the youngster's head.
"Leave Luffy to me. I'll definitely save him." Luka looked up to the red-head with a critical eye. Shanks noting that she reacted on a different level from Luffy and any other 7 year old as she gave him a once over.
Luka calmed down and asked the bartender to let go of her as she turned to Shanks full on. "Here." Handing the older man her metal pipe that he took graciously. That was all she said to him as she walked through the pirate crew and into Makino's bar. Shanks taking that as he way of 'you better save him or else'.
Shanks managed to find Luffy in time and saved him from the sea king that lived in the bay. The bandit nowhere in sight and scared off the sea king and held Luffy close to him in the water as he cried. "Why are you crying, Luffy? You're a man right? A man shouldn't cry when they're protecting their friends, Luffy."
"B-but Shanks…your ARM!" Luffy cried out as Shanks slowly took them to shore and ignored his protesting crew to allow them to stop the flow of his blood. Shanks stubbornly made his way through the town till he entered Makino's bar and saw Luka there on a bar stood reading a book about the Wano Country in the New World. Luka looked up from her book and saw Shanks bloody state and Luffy's unconscious form. Saying nothing as she marked her book and walked over to the Capitan and saw that he was still carrying her pipe she gave to him. Reaching over to him as he dropped to one knee and gave him another once over before raising her hand and slapped him across the face. All gasping at her actions with Shanks wide eyed from why she hit him.
That was until he felt a small warm body hug his cold frame and soft sobs coming from the girl. Shanks handing Luffy over to the doctor as he brought her into a one armed hug and smiled into her soft hair. "Sorry for scaring you, Luka." dropping her pipe and squeezed her tighter as she fisted his shirt just like Luffy had done not too long ago. "It won't happen again."
"I-it better not." Luka sniffled and pulled back and looked at the grinning Capitan. Smacking him over the head once more and hollered. "Next time you do, I'll chop your balls off!" the doctor's rushing over to Shanks to help stop the bleeding as Luka hit him on the back of his neck with him dropping to the ground with a stupid grin in place.

The twins grew closer to the Red-haired crew with Luka joining them occasionally as she had things to do that she wouldn't tell Shanks. Even when he followed her, she somehow managed to slip out of his sight. Beckman growing respect for the younger twin as he knew how she felt dealing with idiots and taught her the parts of the gun and how to clean; load and reassemble, yet she refused to shoot one. Saying that she'll do that when she gets her very own weapon. The twins even got along with Lucky Roo over a good eating contest, though the twins lost obviously and had fun setting up impossible targets for Yasopp to shoot at. Even Yasopp tested Luka's aim with knives and saw how at least 23% of her knives hit the target perfectly as Luka tried her best to teach Luffy how to aim with his new-found abilities.
But today was the day that the Pirate Crew was leaving with the twins at the port looking to the large ship as they packed everything up. Luffy deciding not to ask shanks to allow him to go with him and hollered out to Shanks. "I'll become a pirate. I'll gather nakama that will be stronger that you and then I'll do it! I'll become the pirate king!"
"Is that so?" Shanks muttered and walked back over to Luffy and gave him his straw hat. "Then when the time comes, return this to me. It's my special hat, Luffy. Look after it till then." The hat obscuring Luffy's tears as Luka handed Shanks over her worn out pipe that she gave to him quite some time ago. "For me?" he asked and took it as she nodded.
"Yeah…"
"Don't tell me you wanna be a pirate?!" the Mayor looked to Luka with horrid filled eyes and shrieked that made her laugh at his antics. Yet she never replied to his question. Instead returning her attention to Shanks.
"I'll take care of Luffy till you meet again. Right Benn-chan." Luka looking to the first mate as he held out a thumb that neither Luffy nor Shanks understood. Luka reaching up on her tippy-toes and placed a gentle kiss on Shanks' cheek. "And now the deal is sealed."
Shanks grinned and tousled her locks. "Pick a nice man for yourself, yeah. But he'll need to pass my judgement when we meet again." Shanks already knowing that the young girl was going to turn into a stellar beauty with Luffy going to have to work twice as hard to keep her safe from perverts. "Take care of each other."
"Yosh!" They both saluted. Waiting the day when they would meet the Red-haired pirates once again on the seas.
Flashback end:
"So that's where the cow went." Luffy voiced and looked over to Luka's work. Remembering something and rummaged through his pockets till he pulled out a pair of guns for her. Luka slipping on her gloves and played with Luffy's gift as the sobbing four realised Luka escaped with Zoro in his corner with a dark aura and twitching brow.
"OOII!" Zoro hollered and pointedly looked to Luka as she casually waved at him. Marching up to her and pulled her cheeks. "What the hell have you been doing? Huh?"
"I've been helping Luffy." Luka mumbled with Luffy nodding as it was true. She was the one who helped take out all those soldiers in the Courtyard by suffocating them in an invisible barrier. "And I took out half the soldiers here." Pointing over to the pile of men that laid about. Even the ones that littered the stairwells.
"Then what's up with the clothes?" Zoro asked again as he released her cheeks. "White? With beads? It's like you're getting married."
Luka didn't answer his question when Sanji attached himself to her back along with Chopper and Nami. Franky down the line with a bulging lump on his head as Luffy poked Blueno's face to check the damage. All getting interrupted by another CP9 member that was hanging up off the wall with him catching sight of Luka. "Oh here you are. Boss has been looking for you everywhere…and Blueno's here too. Chapapa." Fukuro stated. Having a feeling that Luka had beaten him and the number of soldiers that were thrown about Enies Lobby. He tells the crew that the key he has may or may not be the one to Robin's cuffs. He goes on to say that, including him, there are five CP9 members in the building, each with a key, and only one would release Robin's handcuffs. The Straw Hats would need to defeat all of CP9 to be sure that they had the right key. But before he disappeared, he tried to attempt to capture Luka. Only for her to disappear too. Both of their movements too fast for everybody but Luffy to catch up with as they took their game of cat and mouse further into the building.
"Yosh! I've got pigeon-guy! Let's go!" Luffy hollered as he ran towards the stairs as the other members of the straw hat crew decided to capture the keys and free Robin as fast as they possibly could. Even if it meant death, they would save Nico Robin.
"Where did that troublesome woman go off to now?" Zoro grumbled. Far from finished his lecture to the youngest female of the crew. Not that he was sure that she was officially apart of the crew yet.
Franky ran to find a kitchen when he came across the balloon man from earlier fighting it out with Luka. "Return to Lucci before he gets angry with us! Chapapa!" both disappearing from sight with Franky only seeing small plumes of clouds wherever they kicked and small sparks from when they punched.
"No way in the 7 levels of hell, Owl-boy!" Luka retorted and aimed a fake punch and kicked Fukuro into a wall. That attacks raging on once more as Franky watched in awe wondering how this lithe girl could take on one agent then another one straight after. Much less all those marines and agents he happened to past. Franky gulped in awe and fear at Luka's stamina and prowess. Admiring her more and more by the second and rushed by into the kitchen as the two were distracted by their fight.
"I'm older than you, woman!" Fukuro yelled back and body slammed Luka into Franky and through the wall into the kitchen. Luka rebounding off Franky as if he weren't there and leapt after Fukuro. Both in a heated argument over trivial matters like who was smarter, faster, and stronger and whatnot. Franky sweat dropping as he tried to approach the fridge yet Luka and Fukuro kept getting in his way. Chopper being kicked into the kitchen by Kumadori with Luka sensing that the reindeer was in trouble and hurled Fukuro towards the large man in make-up as Chopper opened the fridge door for him to enter and locked him in. Fukuro in a bind and hollered at Luka. "How dare you! Chapapa! I'll return you to Lucci half dead if I have to! Chapapa!"
Luka held a hand towards him as she got into a stance. "Bring it, Balloon-bra! I'll kick your ass all the way to South Blue! Chopper! Help Franky get some cola! I'm running low on breath!" Luka ordered as she and Fukuro once more disappeared into a battle of speed and strength. Chopper got to work straight away and tossed Franky some Vegie juice followed by ice tea before Chopper got the right drink.
"Watch out, Sis!" Franky called out as Luka jumped back and let him deal with the owl-man and fell to one knee as her body started to feel the effects of those odd techniques she somehow knew and also fighting off all those soldiers and the mental strain of her past trying to rebury itself every time she pushed to find them. Especially due to the CP9's interference trying to force them to resurface.
"Luka!" Chopper hollered and ran to her side. Immediately getting to work on applying first aid to her wounds that started to show and saw the damage that not even he, Usopp and Nami would usually never take. Mostly the monster-trio. "Are you okay? Why didn't you use the guns Luffy gave you? Your devil-fruit powers?"
Luka laughed slowly as the pain in her sides stopped her from moving too much and answered Chopper's questions. "I'm okay now that you guys are here. This fight was only meant for fists, Chopper and as for my abilities…well I wanted to prove to that Balloon-man that I wasn't going to run away and be a coward."
Chopper whacked the back of his head in worry and scolded her as Franky handled Fukuro to get the key. "You're just as stubborn as Luffy! Jeez." Wrapping the rest of her wounds up and helped her to her feet and turned into his hybrid form to help her over to Franky as he and Fukuro were sent flying into the waterfall. "FRANKY!"
"Oh shit." Luka muttered as she heard a voice from behind and saw Kumadori out of the fridge packing a good extra 50Kg as he thanked Chopper for the food. "He's gotten even fatter."
"How much did you have to eat?!" Chopper yelled. "I've never met somebody who takes care of their body like this. How did you get so fat in a matter of minutes?" Chopper picking Luka up and placed her out on the balcony away from the upcoming fight and reassured her worried face. "Heal Luka. I can take him. For Robin." Holding out his pinkie towards her that made her face melt and return the gesture. Allowing him to fight this battle. Luka not knowing the Chopper had drugged her so she would be knocked out for the next 7 minutes and laid her on the ground. "This is for your safety, Luka. Your body can't handle any more damage." Going off to face the CP9 agent and consumed another Rumble Ball that made his attacks random and vulnerable to Kumdori's attacks. Not even his strongest attack could he beat Kumadori and decided to leave things up to fate as he weakly held out a third rumble ball. Remembering the smiling and joyous faces of his nakama…and Robin. Without hesitation, Chopper ate the third Rumble Ball in hopes to defeat the CP9 agent and hoped that his friends weren't nearby and Luka would know better than to save him in his condition. Turning himself into a monster reindeer and lost his consciousness as his beast took over.
Monster Chopper easily defeated the never-backing down Kumadori and tossed him from the Tower of Justice and to the main island. Letting out a monstrous roar before attacking Franky and climbing the tower. Just as Luka awoke and saw the large Chopper and tried to stand but felt pins and needles throughout her body and cursed the innocent reindeer. "Chopper. Wait!" Luka called out by the monster was too far ahead that she forced herself to her feet and took to the stairs. Ignoring the pain as a rush of adrenaline fired through her body and climbed higher. Seeing a large bathtub flying down the stairs and crashed to the bottom and used Soru to move faster that her body was capable of handling. "CHOPPER!" Luka yelled out and slammed open the room Nami was in and saw a defeated Kalifa and asked. "Where's Chopper?!"
Nami looked equally as panicked and replied. "He didn't recognise me, Luka. Chopper's dangerous right now." Franky having climbed up the wall and approached the two distressed girls. Luka hearing Nami's plan to toss Chopper into the ocean with Franky's help.
"No. I'll handle Chopper. Franky can be my back-up." Luka stated and collapsed before standing up strongly and levelled Nami's argument with the eyes of a determined warrior much like Luffy and nodded. Nami tearing Kalifa's clothes apart find the key and saw that it was number two and handed it over to Franky to hand to Zoro and Sogeking if they meet them. "Follow me." Luka voiced and ran out of the room with Franky and Nami close behind. Hearing Chopper's roar from above and grabbed hold of the two. "Soru." Disappearing from sight.
The trio reappeared in a destroyed garden area and saw Chopper in a rampage. Franky heading over to the handcuffed boys as Luka ran head on without hesitation towards Chopper and leapt high into the air. Holding out both guns that made the Straw Hat Crew's eyes widen as Luka said. "This will hurt only a little, Chopper." Taking aim and shot. All yelling at Luka as she shot at Chopper at least 6 times before he dropped to the floor. The impact causing Franky to be blown out of the tower and into the water below.
All froze as a monster Chopper laid dead at Luka's feet as she pocketed her guns and walked over to him slowly with her hand held out with a bright red barrier appearing around her hand.
"STOP IT!"
