Mika-Chan: hey! Sorry for the late update! Got a lot on my hands lately…anyway, here's the next chapter you're waiting for…
"Drake…Are we there yet?" asked Kidd.
"No. Shut up and walk." Was the curt reply he received.
After a few minutes…
"Are we there now?"
"No."
"Now?"
"NO!" burst out Drake. "Will you shut up already! We are NOT there yet!" Jeez…what the fuck is wrong with those pirates with incredibly high bounties? Are they out to get him? Are they trying to dispose of him by annoying him to death? Well it's not gonna work!
Drake regained his composure and led them out of the dense jungle. Hawkins smirked, his predictions was correct. Drake is indeed having a very bad day. He is enjoying this very very much.
"Err…Drake? Sorry to burst your bubble but…this is the place where Luffy found you guys and almost well…ate you…" grinned Law, he likes pushing the former rear admiral's buttons.
"Shut up." The Zoan user does not like to be reminded that he was almost Luffy's breakfast.
"You're right, Trafalgar." Kidd said, looking around, "Which means…WE'VE BEEN WALKING AROUND THE ENTIRE ISLAND THIS WHOLE TIME? What the fuck is going on?"
"Red Flag, you said the cave is up on the mountain on the middle of the island, was it not? Asked Urouge.
"Oh, yeah. Apparently I forgot." Shrugged Drake.
"What! I AM GONNA KILL YOU!" screamed Kidd.
Killer rushed to calm his captain down before he blows up the entire island and possibly destroy their hearing capabilities too. Law cracked up laughing.
"The sun's nearly setting. I suggest we find that cave quickly or our chances of sleeping outside in the cold and rain will increase greatly." Said Hawkins, looking at the horizon.
"Right, we should get going." Law started walking then stopped. He hadn't heard that Mugiwara screaming for a while now or that Pirate Hunter's grumbles too.
He turned to his fellow Supernovas. "Has anyone of you seen Straw Hat and his swordsman? I kinda miss the rubber boy's screams compared to Eustass's screams."
"Yeah, come to think of it, where is that crazy fool? Do you think he got lost?" asked Kidd, brushing off Law's insult.
"Maybe." Was his answer.
"Oi, GUYS! What are you doing?"
It was Luffy.
He and Zoro are at the base of the mountain, getting ready to climb up. Luffy was waving to them while the green-haired man looked bored.
"Mugiwara! I thought you guys got lost!" hollered Kidd.
"We did get lost! Well, Zoro did! Then we saw this cave up on the mountain! And we're going up! Are you guys coming!" Luffy yelled back.
"We're coming…" Killer said.
"Well, hurry up. I'm getting bored here!" Shouted Zoro. He looked kinda miffed about what his captain had said about him getting lost. Beside him, Luffy stood, sporting a huge bruise on his head, courtesy of his first mate's smack.
"Good job, Straw Hat, finding that cave so quickly." Urouge smiled, when they finally caught up with the rubber pirate.
"Thanks." Luffy grinned. He looked at Kidd with a mischievous glint in his eyes. Zoro spotted that glint and wondered what his captain's gonna do now.
"Hey Kidd, you wanna see who can get up there the fastest? I bet it'll be me."
Kidd gave a feral grin. "Oh you're on, Straw Hat! Come on, Killer! We've got a race to win!"
"Coming, captain."
"Come on Zoro! Aren't you excited? We're gonna win this thing!" shouted Luffy, clearly excited. The swordsman groaned. Now he knows what the teen's planning.
"Yeah, yeah. I'm coming."
"You know, I've noticed something." Law smiled.
"Hmm…? What's that?" asked Drake.
"All first mates are incredibly whipped!" Law laughed.
The Supernova captains burst out laughing, even Hawkins and Drake chuckled. It's so true. The prime example of that principle is just right in front of them.
Zoro and Killer glared at them. "WE ARE NOT WHIPPED!" they protested loudly.
Luffy grinned. "Aww…Come on Zoro! We need to get to the cave first! Hurry up!"
Zoro faltered. "Hai, sencho."
Kidd was also quite impatient. "Killer…Let's go already! We're gonna lose if you keep being so slow!" He whined.
"I'm coming, I'm coming…" Killer growled.
Law, Urouge, Hawkins and Drake smirked.
"Whipped."
Zoro wrapped his arms around Luffy's waist. Kidd saw that and wondered why.
Then he got his answer.
Luffy stretched his arms to the edge of the cave and caught on.
"Gomu Gomu no…Rocket!"
Thus Luffy and Zoro won the race leaving Kidd to scream his anger out and Killer to calm his captain down again. They did get a huge bruise on their head where they smashed against the roof of the cave, but it was worth the look on Kidd's face.
"Yay! Zoro, we won!" cheered Luffy, jumping up and down.
"Be careful, captain, that guy'll want revenge." He warned.
"Doesn't matter! Zoro will protect me, na?" said Luffy while hugging his first mate.
The older man smiled, "Yeah."
Meanwhile…down below…
"That Straw Hat cheated! He did!" Kidd fumed. He was just so angry that he lost!
"You're acting like a six-year-old with a tantrum now, Kidd." Said Killer.
"Yeah, get your temper under control, will 'ya?" drawled Law.
"Not exactly our best option for Pirate King, is it?" observed Urouge.
"His chances of it are decreasing every second." Predicted Hawkins.
"Oh, shut up the lot of you." Hissed Kidd.
"Please ignore the mentally retarded red-haired captain and continue to climb up to that cave." Law snickered at the glare the captain of the Kid Pirates sent him.
When all of them finally got up to the cave, the first thing they saw was the Straw Hat and pirate hunter locked in an embrace with Luffy on Zoro's back.
Law and Kidd pulled faces while the others ignored it.
"Who the fuck are you guys?" came a female voice from deep inside the cave.
"Ooh…we got visitors…how interesting!" came another voice, only a bit deeper.
"Whoever it is, get out. This is our territory." Snarled another voice.
"The hell it is." Retorted Kidd.
Luffy slipped off Zoro's back and got ready to fight. Zoro tensed, swords at the ready. Hawkins took out his cards and looked at them. Drake transformed into his half dino form. Killer had gotten ready with his scythes. Kidd worked on his most frightening face.
They were all ready to fight.
There! Phew! I'm tired…They're all ready to fight, huh? And it's all for a cave? Nah…they're all just trying to release their tension and stress by fighting …sooo…review? Pls!
