Seventh chapter! Sorry to leave it to a cliff-hanger but I really love cliff-hangers! ( well, if I am the one writing them, not the one reading them :_D ). So I guess some of you are thinking like "Finally some action!" :D But please enjoy and thank you of the few reviews I have received! :) And follows and favorite too! :3
...
"CHOPPER! SANJI!" Luffy shouted and rushed towards the room which was now a total mess. Zoro rushed after him and noticed there was no blood in the room or no exploded body-parts.
"Where are those idiots?!" Zoro hissed, a little worried about both of them even though he didn't want to admit it.
"WE ARE FINE!" Sanji said and fell down from the hole he had kicked earlier on the roof. He had created them an escape route with his famous legs and he was carrying Chopper on his shoulder. Zoro sighed in relief to his surprise.
"Explosion's are scary!" Chopper whined.
"What was that explosion?!" Nami asked when she rushed to the scene too.
"Somebody tried to blow this room away with Ero-cook and Chopper," Zoro informed calmly.
"Are you guys alright?" Luffy asked and Chopper nodded.
"Thanks to Sanji...if it wasn't for him, I would be a roasted piece of meat!" Chopper praised the chef and Sanji smiled.
"My cigarettes are gone..." Sanji sighed when he realised his cigarettes had been on the table next to the sofa.
"Who cares about your cigarettes?" Zoro hissed and Sanji gave him an evil glare but said nothing.
"Yohohoho!" Brook laughed when he joined everyone in his soul-form.
"Okay, now that everyone is here, what should we do?" Nami asked,"We can't stay here, that's for sure!"
"Melorine is so lovely even when she is scared!" Sanji swooned even though he had been close to death just a while ago.
"We just need to kill those guys responsible for these events!" Zoro said and grinned. He was waiting for a fight as always.
"But we don't know which ones are guilty!" Nami reasoned,"We don't know if all the people here are our enemies or not!"
"Let's just kill them all!" Zoro stated and grinned even wider if possible. There was an evil look in his eye.
"Zoro-san is harsh as always!" Brook laughed,"I will go and pick up my body! I can't fight in this form."
It was just then that Luffy noticed the ghost-form of Brook's,"Brook, you are a-a-a-a ghost!" he staggered,"That's amazing!"
...
Usopp was the first one to wake up to the mysterious noises he heard from the outside. He had been sleeping calmly but then he heard something like wings flapping in the sky.
"Hey Franky",he whispered quietly and trying to poke the cyborg awake,"Someone is out there!"
The cyborg mumbled something before he sat up and tried to listen,"There is someone or something, that's for sure!"
Someone touched Usopp's shoulder and the man gasped before he realised it was their archeologist. Well, he gasped again when he realised only half of the archeologist was there.
"Robin! Don't scare me like that!" Usopp complained and Robin chuckled.
"What are you doing in the boys bedroom? Are you a pervert or something?" Franky asked and Robin glared at him.
"You must have noticed it too," Robin said, apparently referring to the someone or something lurking on their ship.
"Yes we noticed it too. Should we attack?" Franky suggested but Robin shoke her head.
"I will take a look around the ship first,"She said and closed her eyes.
It took a while for Robin to detect their enemy who was flying around the ship. She couldn't believe her eyes but then she thought that it was the New World after all and everything was possible.
"We are fighting against a rare power," Robin said but didn't bother to explain further as usual.
"What kind of enemy is it?!" Usopp inquired.
"She is a devil fruit user of a rare zoan-type called ' ancient zoan-type'. She looks like pterosaur to me," Robin explained and Usopp tensed.
"You mean those flying dinosaurs?" Franky asked and Robin nodded,"An annoying opponent, I would say."
The trio stepped on the deck and tried to see where the devil fruit user was.
"I don't want to fight that thing!" Usopp whined and felt somebody grabbing his shoulder again.
"That's great! Because I was looking for someone who would fight with me!"
Usopp recognised the voice and turned to face Dennis the messenger.
...
"We should look for Captain Dess first", Nami suggested,"Because he is the boss of this place, he should know everything that happens inside this building, whether he is an enemy or not!"
"Yosh! I will look for him!" Luffy vowed and ran off before Nami had time to stop him.
"That bastard..." Nami cursed and looked at everyone else in the room,"Brook, could you just simply look around? Your ability gives you the freedom to move freely...and look for treasures!" Zoro rolled his eye."Chopper,could you try to check if there are any other explosives in this place, or some other traps? You can smell better than anyone of us!"
Brook nodded even though he was a little annoyed by the solution,"I have to leave my body again...why did I even pick it up in the first place...?"
Chopper nodded and smiled widely."Leave it to me!"
"And take Zoro with you!" Nami ordered and glared Zoro with a look telling him not to argue with her.
"What should I do,Nami-san?!" Sanji swooned and Nami thought about it for a second.
"You could stay with me!" Nami suggested,"We don't know why but it seems like they are targetting you so you shouldn't wander alone..."
"That's fine by me! I will protect Nami-san with my life!" Sanji promised.
"Idiot," Zoro grumbled.
"What was that, you Marimo?!" Sanji hissed back at the green-haired man,"Are you jealous or something?"
"Nothing," Zoro answered and followed after Chopper.
...
Sara was standing next to Captain Dess in the dark room. She stared really seriously in front of her. "Sara, my darling," Captain Dess greeted the woman,"Why the long face?"
Sara didn't know what to answer. "I just can't understand. Why are you trying to kill Strawhats? They are nice people!"
Dess grinned at the guestion. "You don't know? That's fine! Whose side are you on?"
Sara hesitated for a while. "Yours, of course."
"Then why are you suspecting my decisions?" Captain Dess inquired.
"I am not suspecting them, I just thought that those people have done nothing wrong," Sara explained but didn't bother to argue further. "What would you like me to do?"
Captain Dess smirked at the woman and the smirk made cold shivers run through her spine. "You will bring the head of Blackleg Sanji to me, on a golden plate."
Sara stared at her fianceƩ for a while before she bowed deeply,"As you wish, my captain."
...
"What are we looking for?" Sanji inquired from Nami who was trying to think.
"I don't know," she finally admitted,"But something is bothering me. I think Sara is hiding something."
"Sara-chan?" Sanji asked. He doubted if the woman had some dark secret.
"I know it sounds stupid but...she is acting weirdly around other humans and keeping her distance..." Nami explained and Sanji nodded.
"Now that you mention it..." Sanji admitted that Nami was right but nothing proved that the woman was hiding something. "Robin-swan mentioned something about Sara-chan being really interested in the world outside this place and she had never heard of neither devil fruits or All Blue. It was like..."
"...like she had lived here for a long time and not allowed to get away?" Nami continued Sanji's unfinished sentence and the chef nodded,"But why would they do that?"
"I don't know..." Sanji sighed,"But should we try to find it out?"
"Find out what?" Nami asked.
"If she is our friend or foe, of course!" Sanji said and apparently hoped that she would be on their side.
Then their conversation was interrupted when the floor below their feet broke down and they started to fall down.
