Another update. I'm currently working on the next couple of chapters, so I hope you guys all enjoy~!

"You couldn't just let me get it?!" I yell at Sogeking as we're chased around by that weird wolf man. We're trying to find those damned keys for Robin's handcuffs. And there we find one with the guy sleeping.

Usopp and I both glance back at the wolf currently chasing us around in circles. "No, but I'm open to suggestions about what we should do about him!" He shouts as we dodge another attempt from the wolf man.

I've already tried shooting him and other than hand to hand I'm no good, and Usopp can't get a good shot at him since we're being chased. "The best I got is this," I mutter as I turn around and abruptly run at said wolf. While he's slightly surprised he's not put off by me running at him. Jumping up and over I grab him by his snout and pull him back with me, forcing him to land on his back. Jumping out of reach of his rather sharp claws I stare him down, not exactly sure what else I can do.

As we're both about to make a move something comes crashing down from above. "What the hell?" I say rather surprised. Usopp pulls me aside just in time from getting my arm bit off. "Thanks Sogeking." I murmur as I get back on my feet staring at what is Zoro and a giraffe thing. "What the hell is this place?!"

Usopp and I both stumble out into the hall, it's surreal. A laughing wolf, the usual annoyed Zoro, and an overly angry giraffe. Fighting the wolf with Usopp was a big enough problem, now we'll have to dodge Zoro and the giraffe while they fight.

"Azami, touch these for me." Usopp says while tugging me towards an open safe. I glance at him and see two sets of handcuffs. Holding a pair out to me I touch them. "Are they just like Robin's?" He asks.

"Definitely," I mutter pulling my hand away. "They're a pain." I mutter watching as Usopp loads it into his weapon to shoot. "What are you doing?" I ask confused as he takes aim.

"I'm going to a shoot it onto them." Usopp says simply. As he's taking aim while the wolf and giraffe bicker amongst themselves I hear the last thing I need to. Usopp laughing as the handcuffs go flying.

"He's going to cut your head off." I warn Usopp as the handcuffs latch onto Zoro. Usopp and I run over to a rather angry Zoro pulling him back as the other two continue to fight. "Now isn't the time to be worrying about that!" I yell at Zoro and Usopp, "Look." I tell them as the giraffe angrily starts to spin around on his hooves.

Acting instinctively I turn to mist as I dive, Zoro pulling Usopp with him as an attack is unleashed. "The hell?" I mutter getting up after it's over, looking up at the walls I notice quickly that he'd cut right through the entire building. "If I hadn't seen this, I would have assumed this was caused by you Zoro." I say glancing back at my friends.

A sense of dread comes over me as they both stand. "Why are we attached?!"

I watch silently, a bit horrified that this seems almost normal as they check to see if they have the right keys to unlock the handcuffs.

"Well I'll just take on the other user." The Wolf says easily turning his eyes to me.

Zoro, with Usopp being dragged behind him, grabs my wrist. "Get out of here and find the right key!" He yells.

"Oh no, she's my prey." The wolf man yells as he followed by the giraffe chase after us.

"Why the hell did I get mixed up into this?!" I scream as I dart away from the pair. "Each and every single one of you are idiots!" I say as I dodge what I'm assuming is a sword.

Jumping up I flip over the head of the wolf man, narrowly dodging any fatal hits from his claws, though he does get a shallow cut on my left shoulder. "You're an interesting girl." He says turning around to face me. "The smell of blood is all over you, and I don't just mean from the cut on your shoulder." He says grinning. I don't say anything as he steps forward. "You reek of it. You have that look on you too. You've killed before, a lot of people right?"

I lunge forward surprising the man as I again grab his snout, I'm mindful of his claws and how they go through me. I slam the man onto his back once again glaring at him as I take quick jab to his shoulder. "I don't need to hear a total stranger saying what I already know." I say simply as my arm comes in contact with his shoulder.

The wolf man winces as he gets up, grabbing me by the neck as he does so. "You've got quite the fighting style. You've changed what it is though, you should have went for my throat."

I allow his fist to close and for my head and body to reconnect on the ground. "That may be true, but that's not who I am anymore." I say swinging my leg, jumping to avoid it I take off running away from him. There isn't any way I could beat him, I don't have the brute strength for it.

"You're bleeding." Zoro comments as I return to running with them.

I nod my head glancing at the cut on my shoulder, it's not terribly deep, but that doesn't stop it from hurting. "I'll be fine." I mutter glancing back at the wolf man. "I can hold him off, but I'm not going to be able to do any real damage to him." I tell Zoro worriedly.

"You'll figure something out." Sogeking says as he dodge another attack collectively.

I nod my head, glancing back to see if I can figure anything out. I doubt this guy is going to let me flip him again, though that might be to my advantage.

Running at him I see that he's ready to grab me. "That won't work for a third time." He chides me as I jump up, using his snout I jump up further before clearing over him entirely and kicking him with as much force as I can forward, pushing him into his friend.

"You're a clever one." The wolf says as he shoves his friend while getting up. "I've been playing nice."

Just as he's about lunge forward he stops listening to the den-den mushi. "Seems like the Buster call has been invoked." The giraffe says solemnly.

"What does that man think he's doing? We don't have time to waste." He says looking at me, the devilish look on his face says it all. He's ready to end this fight.

Glancing at Zoro and Usopp I feel my stomach drop. "Honestly, it's one stupid thing after another I mutter seeing them holding their opponent back the best that they can. Zoro is literally using Usopp as a sword.

"Your eyes shouldn't be on them." The Wolf says as I dodge his attack reflexively. "You're on a different level then they are, aren't you." He say in a low growl.

I glance back to the wolf man. "As is that guy." I say jutting my thumb over to the giraffe. "Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't he stronger?" I taunt.

As the man lunges at me I dive down and mist my way behind him. "You can't dodge me forever. You're going to have either fight me or die running." Though the man before me smirks in a knowing kind of way. "You of course do have a third option. Rumor has it that Cherry can come out to play."

I glance over to Zoro and Usopp who are busily holding off the giraffe. "No, she won't." I say firmly. I refuse to let any of them ever come close to seeing her. I glare at the wolf feeling a new sense of fear come over me. This man knows exactly who I am, and it'd be a safe bet that it isn't just him but each of these agents know too.

"Let me help." A voice says; I know the voice as my own. A chilling effect comes over as I run to dodge again. "I can help you get out of this alive." The voice persists. "I've always protected you. I did what you couldn't to save you." She says in a gentle tone. "You may not like me and hate what I've done, but you're still alive because of everything I've done." I glance to my friends, to the wolf, and I know that I can't beat him, I can't win this fight. "But I can." The voice says simply. "I can save your friends, I can beat this guy, and if you hate it so much I promise not to kill anymore."

I can feel myself wanting to give in, I can feel myself wanting to help. Just as I'm about to agree in comes this monster. The beast breaths heavily and in a ragged sort of way. "Zoro?!" I yell running over to him as I glance around the room.

"That hat." Zoro murmurs.

Usopp and I glance at each other, him saying what we're all thinking. "Is that Chopper?!"

Zoro shoves me hard across the room, glancing back I see that the Wolf had made a go for me. I hiss in pain as I feel my cuts in my shoulder tear open more, debris, dirt, and rocks shoving their way into the cut. Looking up I see Nami leaving over me. "Are you okay?" She asks with a look of concern on her face. "We have to get out of here."

I breathe through the pain of my shoulder as I get up. I push Nami aside and drag her out of the way as I pull us out of the way of the Wolf. "Damn it." I mutter getting up again. I glance to Nami worriedly. Glancing to my friend I take a deep breath and work the courage up to take this guy on.

"He'll go for your shoulder, he knows it's weak." The voice says. "Since you won't let me do anything, don't die." The voice says gently. "You're stronger than you think."

With that I dodge several more attacks, the speed this guy has isn't something I'll be able to keep up with. Just as I think this I feel the claws penetrate my shoulder again. I use this chance and with my other arm I twist his arm as much as I can, I hear a sickening crack as I pull back.

"You two get out of here, I'll handle this." Sogeking says bravely while standing in front of me. "You go check on your friends."

Before I can object Nami is grabbing my warm and hauling me out of the room running down the stairs. "We have to help him!" I say wincing as a chunk of rock falls onto my shoulder. Hearing a shriek from where we came from, I glance to Nami. "I'll go. You check on Chopper and Franky." I say worriedly.

Nami looks at me worriedly, she hesitantly lets go of me and heads down the stairs.

On my way back I run into Sanji. "You're hurt."

"I'll be fine, we have to go help Usopp." I say worriedly as I push on. Sanji simply nods his head as we come back to the garden room I see that the destruction has only gotten worse with Zoro and Usopp getting those handcuffs off.

"I'll take care of this, you and Sogeking go to the room." Sanji says gently to me as he enters the room. Resting against the wall I try to gather my strength. "There are things that only some of us can do." He says to Usopp as he steps in to fight for him.

Sogeking comes and wraps my arm over his shoulder. "I have a plan." He mutters as he leads us to the top of the building. "Are you okay Azami?"

"Yeah, let's just do our part to save Robin." I say as I finally glance at my arm. I can tell it's gotten a lot worse, the last attack did a lot of damage. It dug in the rubble that had been lodged into my shoulder in further. Hesitantly I start digging the rocks and fragments of whatever it is out.

"Are you sure you should be doing that?" Usopp asks hesitantly glancing at me. I breathe heavily and nod for him to do whatever it is he needs to. I know if I talk I'll scream. I can't do that.

I watch as Usopp takes aim and begins to fire across the way to the bridge. I lean back and rest my head against the wall. I feel the building tremble and shake violently. "Zoro or Sanji?" I ask quietly.

"Zoro," Usopp says easily. "Zoro's radius is way bigger."

I nod my head. I glance to Usopp and consider something for the first time, and more so because this if the first time she's ever talked to me. "You think a person can have more than one person inside them?" I ask curiously.

Usopp looks at me like I'm crazy. "I think you've lost a lot more blood than you should have." Usopp walks over to me carefully, stumbling into me when the building shake violently. "I have a bad feeling about this. We need to get down fast."

Getting up with Usopp's help I feel the floor shake even more. "Oh god." I say as the floor starts to give. Taking the lead I run, tugging Usopp to follow me. "We're gonna have to jump." I shout as I glance back to the floor crumbling and making its way to us fast.

Usopp screams as I push him over the edge when he refuses to do so I follow him soon after, I try to mist so I can get us to the ground safely. "No, no, no!" I scream as I try to mist again.
