Luffy didn't have Chopper's nose but honestly he never needed it. Despite never knowing how to get someplace he always ended up where he needed to be and that was enough. Even now he could see a large double door further down the hall and that was all he needed.

He had been right about Rina, she was like Nami being forced for her talents. She also reminded him of chopper too being isolated and being hurt because she was a little different. She reminded him of Zoro who would go through Hell just to protect those around her even if it was death. And a bit of Usopp being terrified and scared but bearing through it for a person they loved. But despite all that he had seen her smile. A pure gentle smile. She had said that there was no hope but she was still able to smile as if there was;

It wasn't fair.

It wasn't fair that someone had to endure that much. And honestly it pissed him off who did this boss guy think he was trying to break humans no one had a right to do that. No one had a right to make someone feel that guilty.

He grit his teeth

"Gomu Gomu…"

No one had a right to hurt another person's treasure

"PISTOL!"

The doors flew off their hinges and Luffy stood in the entrance,

He was going to kick butt.

Sanji couldn't say how he really felt around Rina. She was a woman so therefore she should have his undying love and devotion but it didn't feel right…

She was more fragile not strong willed like Nami or confident like Robin.

Not dainty and charming either something broken and fixed by a child.

That was it she was childish. Sanji thought as he kicked another guard across the hall. Despite all the trauma she had clearly gone through she wasn't hardened like diamonds or soften into coal she was this lukewarm that seemed so pitiful. A child that had never had the chance to grow up; stagnate.

And truthfully though he wanted to treat her like he did all woman it was forced and uncomfortable because…

He hated kids.

"Sanji! Up ahead!"

Sanji's head jerked up from his thoughts as he looked ahead to see a clear passage the hinges of what may have held the doors were bent and out of shape and both men could already guess who it was as they continued to run ahead.

The room was huge and spotless in comparison to the rest of the place. And there in the center was Luffy furious facing a large man with a sword. He had red hair that shot up and was rather large. On his face was a crooked smile and beads of sweat but the fact he was still standing in front of such an angry Luffy was a testament to his strength.

"W..WHAT IS THAT?!"

Usopp stuttered and Sanji turned with a furrowed brow to look at what had baffled him and the sight was enough to make him drop his cigarette for on the left side hanging from the ceiling was what could only be described as a giant fish bowl and inside was none other than the person they were looking for; Rina.

She was easily floating inside a mouthpiece strapped on tightly by the way she attempted to rip it off but couldn't.

Sanji looked at Luffy and then decided,

"Usopp we're getting Rina out of there"

Usopp nodded in understanding as he looked up Rina trapped banging almost painfully hard against the glass. Usopp looked around finding a ladder leading up and instantly headed toward it. He looked over at the fight as he climbed up Luffy was just as strong as always but the opponent was tough the man had a sadistic smile as he danced around Luffy's shots.

Usopp shook his head he couldn't deal with that issue and instead focused on the one at hand and it was a big enough problem as it was. The fish bowl as it was ridiculously thick and the top was sealed with heavy metal.

Usopp had thought that there would be an air pocket on the inside but even then it was filled to the brim with water. And the prisoner in question was continually banging on the wall of it tugging endlessly at the mouth strap and wasting unnecessary energy. But there was something about her that was desperate and demanding that gave Usopp pause,

Was she worried about Luffy?

Was her boss really that strong?

He couldn't tell where she was looking but it didn't seem to be the fight,

"Usopp! How's it look?!"

Usopp looked down at the waiting chef,

"There's no opening here and it's built pretty solid"

Sanji popped in another cigarette in his mouth and focused.

The air seemed to move around him as he gathered all his strength preparing for the attack,

"Mutton…."

He sprung up high into the air with power inducing spins as he leg began to come down hot

"SHOT!"

He hit the bowl with all his power and yet there wasn't even a crack. Usopp was more than surprised and Sanji well let's just say there had been nothing to withhold the back shock

"DAMN IT!"

Nothing had been achieved as the fish bowl hung completely untouched but what it did do was capture Rina's attention. The glass had been too thick to hear anything even her incessant banging but Sanji's kick must have echoed somehow cause she turned to see usopp and her eyes were wide.

Usopp blinked but then he smiled and with wide facial expressions and exaggerated moments body movements,

"DON'T WORRY RINA! WE'RE GONNA GET YOU OUT!"

He said with a smile. Her eyebrows crinkled and she tilted her head as if she was confused or maybe trying to understand but when she did her face changed. It paled and she was in front of him so fast he almost fell back in fright. She banged on the glass in front of her and motioned back to what looked like the fight but because of the mouth guard he couldn't understand what she was trying to say.

"Wait Rina what… I don't"

Sanji came up next to Usopp,

"What is it?"

Usopp turned to him for help,

"She's trying to tell me something but i don't know what it is!"

Sanji turned to the girl in the water and even he couldn't describe it. She was clearly desperate using all her energy to motion at something down below tears looked like they were forming despite being in the water and she was using all that she had to deliver a message even Sanji couldn't interpret and it pained him.

"I'm trying again"

Usopp turned to him,

"But i thought you couldn't break it."

And Sanji knew this was a special glass that needed more strength than he could provide but something in her eyes was desperate beyond all measure and he had to try again if nothing else.
