A/N: Sick again... whenever I get a cold in the winter it doesn't go away... like I said last chapter didn't want to cough all over my study guide (rare version of Vol. 2... ironically, it wasn't 'till after the fight in this chapter that I realized I could move on to Vol. 3...) so enjoy the latest chapter...

Chapter 8: Sister Fight!

The teenaged sisters from Buggy's crew, Cici and Mimi were sizing up from the yet unnamed crew (Luffy wasn't planning on naming it until he had a ship… Ko suspected that won't happen until after they get to the grand line…) Usa and Ko.

"Well since I'm the one who challenge I give my name, I'm Cici, the Trapeze artist…" said Cici.

"How can you fight with a trapeze?" asked Usa.

Ko tried to think of things but couldn't come up with anything. She just shrugged.

"Hey! Are you paying attention." yelled Cici.

"I'm Mimi, the ball rider!" said Mimi.

"No I don't need to ask how she fights." said Usa.

Ko nodded in agreement.

"I demanded to know what's your name!" said Cici.

"I'm Gi Usa, master of Gi Style Martial Arts and Ki manipulation!" said Usa.

"Kone Ko, master of Kone style of weapons." said Ko.

"The Gi and Kone clans… interesting…" said Cici, "Too bad we didn't have to put our battle strategies to the test."

"I know…" said Ko.

"Time to start this fight!" said Cici.

She took out a bar and threw it into the air, wires came out of the bar and attached themselves to building.

"So that's how she fights with a trapeze." said Usa.

Cici grabbed the bar, swung backwards then forwards kicking Usa, sending her flying.

"Usa!" said Ko.

Mimi was… um... rolling as a big ball. Ko noticed this and threw a kunai at the ball popping it.

"Owwie!" said Mimi.

Ko walked over to Mimi, "So you give up!" said Ko.

"No I have this…" said Mimi taking out a yarn ball, she knew that it wouldn't work after all she's human… how wrong she was. Ko's eyes lit up and she began to play with the yarn ball.

"What the?" said Mimi honestly surprised.

Usa who got up was about to find a way to kick Cici back when she saw her sister playing with the ball of yarn.

"No… way…" said Usa.

"Hey Usa why is Ko playing with a yarn ball." asked Luffy.

Usa's eye twitched, "How did you figure out Ko's weakness." yelled Usa.

"Hey aren't you going to… what the hell?" said Cici who hadn't noticed Ko playing with the ball of yarn.

"It was just a distraction…" said Mimi honestly surprised.

"What's with her?" said Luffy.

"Ko's weakness is… yarn balls, every time she sees one she looses herself, the only way to get out of this state is to ether wait or get rid of the ball." said Usa.

"What?" said Luffy.

"To put it in Ko's words… "Don't ask"" said Usa she ran towards Ko however Cici swung towards her and kicked her again.

"I knew you being an idiot it would be easy… who would have that my sister would have found a weakness in a member of the Kone Clan…" said Cici.

"How do you know about our clans any ways." said Usa getting up.

"I've been studying the Grand Line, not only pirates and thieves but Islands as well... I'm not surprised that you two are friends after the war ended. I also know that those of the Kone Clan are natural battle strategists, thanks to the Kone Style of weapons… just to let you know… I'm just better than the average member… maybe as good as the smatter ones. " Said Cici.

"I barley have any Ki left and she's as good as the Kone Clan… what can I do?" thought Usa.

With Mimi she took this as a sign to barrage Ko with weapons.

"Okay, hard ball!" said Mimi, she threw a metal ball at Ko. Ko fell down and got up. She began to play with the yarn ball again.

"Too easy…" said Mimi, "Bouncy Ball Barrage!"

She threw many rubber balls at Ko hitting her… it even jostled some of her subspace pockets sending out her throwing weapons and bottles… of Usa's drink. Usa had an idea… a brilliant idea, she knew it was dangerous for herself but she had to save her sister.

Usa ran over to Ko, Cici jumped down to the ground and took out another bar it hit Usa and wrapped her in a wire.

"You think you can help your sister think again." Said Cici

Usa turned on her ki and burned the wires of, she continued running towards her sister then picked up the bottle that were all around her. Ko got up and began to play with the yarn again.

"Don't interfere with my sister's fight." Said Cici throwing another bar at Usa she jumped out the way. Cici gasped, Usa was drinking the drink and fighting at the same time.

"Are you taking this seriously?" demanded Cici.

Usa finished on of the bottles and said "I am… What, I can't get my energy by drinking this?." she asked.

"There's something different about her… it's like her IQ changed or something… strange…" thought Cici.

Cici shook her head and launched more bars into the air, which attached themselves to building. She jumped to the closet on and began to swing why trying to kick Usa who dodged each time while drinking, each bottle made her movements a little faster.

"It seem like you're the one who's not taking this battle seriously…" said Usa with a smirk.

She shot out a Ki beam while Cici was high up causing the wire to break and Cici fell onto the ground unconscious.

"Damn you Cici…" mumbled Buggy who was watching but he was glad that Mimi was winning her fight however…

Mimi sent out some more balls when suddenly a pink shield blocked them from the target. Usa was the one holding the shield, with her other hand she shot out a ki beam destroying the yarn. Ko came to her senses.

"What happened?" she asked but was in shock when she saw Usa holding the shield. "USA STOP RIGHT NOW!" she yelled while crying.

However it was too late Usa fell to the ground unconscious.

"What happened to the bunny." said Mimi.

Ko went over to her sister, she was breathing.

"Good… so that what happens if she uses Ki Barrier after not eating… it's just like Last Resort…" she thought.

"Hey aren't you going to pay attention to me!" yelled Mimi.

Ko took out a kunai and threw at the ball she was sitting on pooping it, as Mimi fell to the ground Ko shot out a mix of kunai, shierikan and throwing knives pinning her clothes to the ground.

"The Kone Pin Technique… literally pins the opponent to the ground it's non-lethal… but quite embarrassing, try to retain dignity by not trying to get up…" said Ko who fell to her knees with all the hits she received when she was beat up, but she had experienced worse.

Luffy ran over to his musician, "You okay." asked Luffy.

"One of our tougher battles for sure… I maybe injured but I'll protect my sister and Zoro in case something happens… just defeat that clown, 'kay." said Ko.

Luffy nodded at he went to face the Clown. While Ko sat next to her unconscious sister.

Ko would normally leave her sister to rest if something happened like this, however this wasn't the usual "We can't beat them…" scenario that they've faced before when she used an attack known as Last Resort… this was different. She nudged her sister trying to wake her up.

"No Trent, 5 more minutes then we'll train." said Usa in her sleep.

She nudged her again.

"Oh Mysterious Pirates Boy, I'd love to eat Carrot Cake with you…" said Usa in her sleep.

She tried one time.

"No… no! Marshmallows, they're after me! Get away! Get away!" cried Usa in her sleep

Ko rolled her eyes, "I hope I'm still angry with her by the time this is over." thought Ko. "How can she have so many dreams in less then a minute?" she asked no one in particular.

She turned her attention to the fight... she hopefully missed the part where they sized each other up, knowing Luffy it was ether pathetic insults or claiming that they were going to be king of the pirates. Fortunately she missed it… however Buggy nicked the hat. Luffy was angry.

"This my treasure! No one damages this hat!" yelled Luffy.

Ko was shocked, she had never seen him so angry, granted she only knew him for a few days but this was different… even she couldn't see what was going to happen next...

Next Time: The final battle: Buggy VS Luffy! Who will prevail... and did Luffy pick on a Gi Style Martial arts move?
