Treasure struck first, trying to hit Luffy with a kick from the left side, but the Straw Hat Captain easily blocked it with his left fist.
"GATLING~!" Luffy shouted as he threw a flurry of punches at Treasure, who was knocked back for a moment, but he used his arms, which were wrapped up in his chains, to take the brunt of the hits. Then he swung his chains at Luffy like whips, but he effortlessly evaded them using his Observation Haki. Then, Luffy rushed Treasure, imbuing his right arm with Armaments Haki.
"Jarara...JARARARA!" Treasure laughed as he wrapped his chains around his right fist and met Luffy's punch with his own, and each time they clashed, the ground split from the force of their attacks!
Meanwhile, Aika was tussling with Anubis, who growled as he lunged at her, only for her to jump right over him.
"What's the matter?" Aika asked in a taunting manner. "Can't keep up?"
"Why you little…!" hissed Anubis as he jumped at Aika again, only for her to leap away, once again. "Hold still so I can rip you to shreds!"
"You gotta catch me, first!" Aika replied as she dodged him a third time, then a fourth time, followed by a fifth. It was almost like she was dancing around the big, clumsy hyena, who spun around trying to catch Aika, and it was so much so that he soon grew dizzy and started tottering where he stood. Seizing her chance, Aika circled around Anubis and clamped her little wolf jaws on his tail, causing him to yowl in pain.
"LET GO!" Anubs cried.
Olga gasped in absolute shock as she watched the fights take place. While Luffy used his natural brute strength, Aika relied on cunning and confusing her enemy, due to her size and lack of strength.
As Luffy and Treasure continued their little boxing match, the former leapt up into the air as he dodged another one of the latter's punches, and pumped blood through his legs, going into Gear Second mode.
"Gum-Gum...JET STAMP!" Luffy shouted as he kicked Treasure in the arms, and at first, he seemed to be able to block it, but then his chains shattered into pieces, and so did the left lens of his shades.
"AAAAAAAAAAGH!" cried Treasure.
With Aika, she tried to evade Anubis again, but this time, the hyena pinned her down to the ground, causing her to cry out in surprise.
"Ha! Now I gotcha!" Anubis exclaimed.
"Aika!" cried Olga.
"Ngh…!" Aika grunted...but then she smirked as she touched Anubis' ankle with her paw, and with a squeeze of her muscles, she sent a bolt of electricity through the hyena's body, causing him to yowl in pain once again and force him to let go of her.
"AGH!" he cried as he stumbled back. "What the hell was that?!"
"How do you like the power of Electro?" asked Aika.
"...Amazing…!" Olga whispered in awe as Luffy landed beside her.
"You want another round, chain guy?" Luffy asked, grinning.
"Jarararara…!" Treasure chuckled. "That's what I'd expect from a man worth 500 million. I have to admit, that little wolf brat's rather impressive, too. You two are both wonderful opponents who makes a treasure hunt even more exciting! However...you can't go any further."
As soon as he said this...a group of people appeared behind him...and among them were Nami, Usopp, Chopper, Robin, Brook, and Kumi, all wrapped up in chains! For some reason, though, Nami and Robin were dressed up as belly-dancers while Usopp, Chopper, Brook, and Kumi were dressed up in dirty garbs...almost like they were slaves!
"Guys!" Luffy cried in shock.
"Big Sis Nami! Kumi!" Aika exclaimed, but while she was distracted, Anubis jumped at her, biting down on the scruff of her neck. "AH! Put me down!"
"A...Aika…!" Kumi grunted.
"We're sorry, Luffy!" Chopper cried.
"They captured us when we fell in the water!" Brook added. "We were helpless against them!"
"L...Luffy…!" Nami choked out.
"Hang on, guys!" Luffy called as he tried to run to them, but then Treasure pulled Nami close to him.
"Don't come any closer!" Treasure shouted as he clenched his fist...causing the chains around the Straw Hats to tighten, including the collars around their necks, causing them to gasp for air as they struggled to breathe.
"No!" Aika cried as Anubis dropped her at his master's feet. "Leave them alone!"
"Stop it!" Luffy shouted, and soon Treasure did cease.
"Jarararara!" laughed Treasure. "If they're really that important to you, then don't move a single muscle!"
Soon, large chains burst out of the ground and surrounded Luffy, as well as Aika, who gasped in horror.
"Chain Lock!" Treasure shouted, and soon, the chains clenched around them both, causing Luffy to fall to the ground.
"LUFFY!" the Straw Hats cried.
"Big Brother!" Aika cried as she tried to go to help him, only for Treasure to pick her up, too. "Ah! No!"
"Dammit!" Usopp cursed, trying to pry off the collar around his neck. "You're not playing fair, bastard!"
"Oh, don't get me wrong," Treasure grinned. "I'm not here for a head-on confrontation. I'm just here for the treasure hunt, and I'll do whatever it takes to get the treasure I seek!"
Anubis snickered at this while Olga gasped.
"Now then, Olga," Treasure began, "Straw Hat drops out here. Show me the way to the Pure Gold, and make it snappy! Otherwise, I'll kill these fools...and you!"
Olga gritted her teeth at this...but then she sighed in defeat.
"...Fine," she said. "You win."
"Olga!" cried Aika.
"See, Aika?!" Kumi asked. "I told you she's no good!"
"Good girl," Treasure praised, mockingly.
"But...on one condition," Olga interjected. "If I show you the Pure Gold...you have to split it, 50/50 with me!"
"50/50, eh?" inquired Treasure. "My, someone's greedy!"
"I'm the only one who knows how to get out of Lord Bonbori, anyway," Olga added.
"So even if we do get the Pure Gold," Treasure began, "we still have to follow your lead in order to get out of this place, then? Fine by me...I promise."
On that, Olga began to walk toward Treasure with Elizabeth waddling along beside her.
"Wait, Olga!" Luffy cried. "You're not serious, are you?! That guy will kill you once you're outta here! Just forget about us and run!"
"...It's your fault," Olga replied as she looked at the Straw Hat Captain, "because you can't go an adventure to the Pure Gold with me!"
With that, she continued to walk toward Treasure, while Aika looked at her in horror.
"Olga…!" she whispered, sadly.
"You better hope your ship doesn't get dissolved by Lord Bonbori's stomach acid," said Olga.
"Jararara!" laughed Treasure. "Don't be stupid. The Shark Emeralda is hardened with steel and jewels! It's extremely sturdy!"
"Good," Olga said. "Also, I have one more favor to ask...don't kill Straw Hat here."
Aika and the rest of the Straw Hats all gasped at this, as did Luffy.
"Oh?" Treasure asked. "You seemed to get along quite well with him."
"It's not that, moron," said Olga. "It's just...I'm a kid, so I can't sleep well at night if I see a dead corpse, that's all."
"Olga…!" Nami choked out.
"Hmph!" Treasure scoffed. "That's really cute of you...even if it's a lie, I'll go along with it! After all, I have to make sure to keep you happy if you're going to lead us to the Pure Gold! Jararararara!"
Olga only sneered at the mad treasure hunter as he laughed.
"The tide of stomach acid will be reaching the beach, soon enough," said Treasure. "So...suffer a slow and painful death. Straw Hat...you will die here! JARARARARARARARA!"
"No!" Chopper cried.
"Dammit!" Usopp cursed as he and the rest of the Straw Hats were dragged away by Treasure's men.
"Luffy!" Nami called out. "LUFFY~!"
"BIG BROTHER!" Aika shouted.
"Aika, don't worry about me!" Luffy called after her. "I'll be fine, I promise! Be strong, okay?!"
Aika whimpered as she was carried off by Treasure and his crew, trying her hardest to fight back tears. Olga, noticed this, however...and only sighed as she rubbed in her arm and looked away, trying to hide her guilt.
They boarded the Shark Emeralda...and rowed away, leaving Luffy to his fate.
"...Crap," Luffy cursed as he watched tide come in and out, instantly dissolving a coconut that had fallen into the acid...and it wouldn't be long until he was next.
TO BE CONTINUED...
Sorry I took so long updating this, but I'll be focusing on this from now on, and then Film Gold (which I am going to see next month in theaters).
Sorry if Aika's fight wasn't as epic as you might like.
Review, please!
