Tenth chapter already! Yahhoo! I have still lots to write, expecially the whole ZoSan stuff hasn't been here very much but I will work on it more in the future chapters! :) Besides, I don't like going straight to the "action" XP
...
Luffy was forcing Captain Dess to focus only on defending himself. When captain Dess had decided to invite Strawhats to his mansion, he didn't thought he had to fight a man worth 400 million. He had just thought that they would be lots of fun. He had trusted Sara a little bit too much also because it looked like she had betrayed him.
Sara hadn't thought leaving the mansion, however. She had betrayed Dess' trust indeed but she wasn't going to leave him. She had always trusted the man, always believed everything he said and let the man decide everything for her. If she would leave the man, she would be lost.
...
"EVERYONE, GET DOWN!" Sanji shouted and hoped that everyone, even the moss-head, managed to dodge the surprise attack. He dodged the attack himself but probably stumbled after that. He didn't know for sure because his balance was not normal and he couldn't feel whether he was upright or stumbled on the ground. All he could do was dodge the attacks using haki and feel presences of other people around him.
"It's good that he can't see this!" Zoro said when he realised the enemy had thrown kitchen knifes towards them. He guessed the chef would feel annoyed to realise how badly they were treated.
"Where is the enemy?!" Nami wondered when she couldn't see the one throwing the knives.
Sanji had attacked the enemy in the meantime and kicked him to the ground,"Don't you dare to hurt our beautiful navigator, you bastard!" he shouted at the enemy and landed on the ground, stumbling a little before falling down.
Chopper stared at Sanji in disbelief,"Haki must be pretty useful...I couldn't fight in his condition!"
"It seems like it..." Nami sighed and stared at Sanji who had difficulties in keeping his balance even when he was sitting on the ground.
"This is boring!" Zoro complained,"Isn't there someone worth fighting?!"
Then Zoro had barely time to pull his swords and cover himself from the attack,"Excuse me, but I was here too..." the enemy whined quietly and Zoro grinned when he sensed he had gotten himself an worthly opponent.
...
Usopp returned back to the ship to help Franky and Robin who couldn't really damage their enemy. It looked like her skin was strong enough to cover her from all the attacks and a flying opponent was hard to catch.
He stood next to Franky,"Need any help?"
"Actually that would be suupeer! We haven't managed to even graze this baby!" Franky admitted the situation they were in and Usopp analysed the situation for a while.
"Don't worry Franky, I think I have an idea!" Usopp said and smiled confidently,"Just follow my plan!"
...
"Where are you...~" Brook shouted at the hallway. He had forgot where he had abandoned his body and now he couldn't find his skeleton remains.
"Yohohoho! I guess Luffy-san would laugh and say that I resemble Zoro-san..."
...
Luffy punched captain Dess against the wall and pressed his windpipe slightly: he didn't want to suffociate his enemy but he also wanted to hear his answer to his guestion,"Why did you suddenly attack us?! We were friends! Parties organized by you were so much fun!"
Captain Dess chuckled slightly,"It's all that blondie's fault!"
Luffy blinked,"Blondie? Sanji is the only blond in our crew. Did he do something?"
"You ask me?! He flirted with my fianceé! He was trying to take her away!" Captain Dess explained and Luffy started to laugh.
"Oh, that?" Luffy managed to stagger in the middle of all the laughing,"He treats all the ladies like that!"
Captain Dess' jaw fell down and he didn't know what to say. Had he picked a stupid fight for no reason?
...
Sanji felt Sara getting closer to them. "Sara is coming,"he informed the others.
Sara moved slowly closer to Strawhats. "Don't worry, I want no harm for you!"
Nami lowered her Clima Tact but didn't put it away.
"Your captain is fighting with captain Dess and he is going to win. Captain Dess is not really strong, you know?" She chuckled slightly,"I betrayed him to help you guys escape."
"You were friendly to us, then you attacked our people and now you expect us to trust you?" Nami raised a brow.
"I know it's hard to believe but you are not bad people!" Sara explained,"He just got overly jealous when Sanji-san flirted with me and with his simple logic he wanted to have his revenge to everyone in the same crew."
"So it's his fault..." Nami said, glaring at Sanji.
Wha-what was that? I felt Nami-san glaring at me...But they are not fighting?
"Please, I beg of you! When your captain comes back, just leave this mansion behind!" Sara knelt in front of them,"I will take care of the rest!"
...
Zoro's fight made the swordman smirk. Apparently his opponent was the strongest one in the mansion, even stronger than Captain Dess. It was still not enough for the swordman who wanted the fight to make his blood boil with excitement.
Their fight ended up pretty quickly, however. Not because Zoro knocked his enemy down or the enemy knocked Zoro down. Luffy had punched captain Dess trough the wall and Zoro's opponent was pushed down by Captain Dess' back.
"LUFFY!" Zoro raged,"DON'T TAKE DOWN MY OPPONENTS!"
"Oh? Sorry about that, Zoro!" Luffy laughed as usual and looked how his opponent was trying to keep his hold of the collapsing floor. There was a deep fall down to the caves underneath and falling would mean certain death - slow or fast.
...
"Nico Robin!" Franky shouted while waving his hands."Try to get the enemy fall to this direction!"
Robin looked at the hentai and nodded."Roger that."
She gestured her hands and waited for a perfect moment to pull their opponents wings. When it came, she glutched even harder than usual and pulled the enemy down.
Usopp appeared from behind the mast and pressed his hand against their enemy's chest. It was not like he was attacking his enemy unprepared. "Impact Dial!"
The shock-wave, which the impact dial generated, was enough to injure their enemy badly but it didn't really cause much of a damage to the sniper who hadn't wasted those two years of separation just laying around in the grass and dreaming.
"We suupeer finished that baby!" Franky cheered and posed his usual hentai-pose.
...
Sara looked at Captain Dess seriously. She realised that the man was going to fall down and die if nobody helped him and it looked like nobody was making a move to save him.
She ran towards Captain Dess and took a hold of his hand but didn't try to pull him up. She was too weak, she was too fragile to even try such a trick.
"Sara, save me!" Captain Dess ordered but Sara just smiled at him.
"Dess-san", she started to speak in a low voice,"I always trusted your decisions and your way of life. I never even dreamed of something else! I was really happy in here!"
"Sara, please - -" Captain Dess begged but Sara continued her calm speech.
"I was really happy in here!" she repeated,"You took me away to show me this happiness in here! I am really grateful. Thank you!"
Then she let go of his hand, not even bothering to try and pull the man up. The floor started to grumble and Captain Dess along with Sara started to fall down.
