Chapter 10
Cicero's eyes are wide, surprised that Luffy is here. "L-Luffy," He stammers. "What're you doin' here?"
"I heard the commotion, so I decided to check it out." Luffy looks at the group of pirates. "When I saw them teaming up on you, I decided to help."
"Who the hell is kid?" Moe asks, confused.
"The names Monkey D. Luffy and I'm gonna kick your ass."
Moe bursts out laughing. "You're gonna kick my ass, a kid?" He continues to laugh.
"Let me handle things from here." Luffy walks past Cicero and charges the pirates.
The first pirate to attack swings his sword down. Luffy does a spin to dodge and slams his elbow in the man's head, knocking him out. Luffy runs to the next guy, ducking his swing and punching him in the gut. Finishing the guy off with a uppercut, Luffy grabs his leg and spins him around, throwing him at two others, knocking them down. He then moves on to the next guy. Doing another spin to dodge, Luffy sees another man coming at him from the corner of his eye. Launching his fist outward, punching another man charging. Shock comes across everyone's faces. "He ate a Devil Fruit?" Cicero whispers to himself.
Luffy smirks, taking the advantage, Luffy swings his arm and clotheslines the guy he saw originally. Bringing his fist back, he slams it into the back of the pirates head he standing next to. "I ate the Gomu Gomu no Mi," He stretches his cheek to show it off again. "I am a rubber man."
"Doesn't matter. Take him down." Moe orders his men.
Two guys charge Luffy at his side. Ducking to avoid their swords, he punches them in the gut. Diving forward, Luffy prepares for the others. The rest of the group charge. Luffy easily handles them, but they soon overwhelm him. Dodging swords, punches and kicks, Luffy is forced back. Bumping into someone, he sees a pirate about to swing his sword down. The pirate stops midway and falls over. Cicero stands there with one of his spears. "Thanks for distracting them while I got my spear back," Pointing to the one in his hand. "Now, let's do this." Standing next to Luffy, ready to attack.
The two of them charge at the group of men. Luffy grabs the first man, spins and throws him into the group, knocking them down like bowling pins. Cicero, using his slashing spear, keeps his opponents at a distance. Slashing down any who try to brave him alone. Slowly getting overwhelmed he calls for Luffy. Looking over, Luffy sees that Cicero is in a bit of trouble. Charging the group, Luffy starts to rapidly throw his punches, making it seem he has more than he does. "Gomu Gomu no Gatling Gun." Taking down most of the guys surrounding Cicero, Luffy turns to the others and starts his attack again. Taking down another chunk of the group, Luffy's breathing starts to get heavy.
A heavy gust of wind causes Luffy's hat to blow off, "Ah, hat." and land next to Moe. Staring at the hat, Moe leans down to pick it up. "Don't touch it." Luffy growls.
Moe raises an eyebrow. "Like this?" Picking up the hat, and crushing it in his hands.
Luffy's eyes go wide, "DON'T TOUCH MY HAT!" charging towards Moe, ignoring everybody else.
Moe laughs, "Hahaha, I'll take the kid." getting ready to fight. "The rest of you get Cicero."
"Gomu Gomu no Pistol," Luffy throws his fist straight towards Moe.
Blocking the punch with his own fist, Moe thought, 'Damn, this kid's got some strength.'running towards Luffy, he smacks his palm in Luffy's face, slamming him into the ground. Using his other hand to punch Luffy in the gut. "Ahahahaha, for a second I was worried," Moe laughs. "you have some strength boy, but you don't know how to use it."
"Gomu Gomu no," Luffy slams his foot into Moe's gut. "Stamp!" Releasing Luffy, Moe takes a step back, holding his stomach. Luffy jumps up and raises his fists. "Come on."
Charging, Luffy throws another punch, extending it to compensate for Moes longer reach. They both hit each other in the face. Neither giving up, trying to overpower the other. Taking the initiative, Luffy throws another punch right into Moe's gut. Strength faltering for a second, Luffy's first punch wins, sending Moe crashing back. "Gomu Gomu no," Launching both hands forward, grabbing Moe's shirt, Luffy launches himself forward. "Rocket."
Cicero jumps back to avoid a sword. Ducks another, and stabs the guy, with his hybrid spear, in the gut. Rolling to the side to avoid another slash, using the momentum to stab another pirate. 'Damn it, there's too many of them.'Dodging and rolling, Cicero does his best to keep alive. Blocking two swords with his spear, he does his best to get rid of them. Having no luck, he pushes them back through the group of pirates. When the two hit a wall, Cicero kicks one in the gut, stabs the other and uses the other as support to jump up in the air. Mid-air he sticks his spear into the wall and balances on it. "Now I've got some breathing room." Taking a deep breath. Pushing his hair out of his face, he reaches into his bag and pulls out a bandanna, tying it around his head. "Much better."
Some of the pirates start laughing, "You think you have the advantage right now?" one of them says, as he pulls out a gun.
"Crap." Cicero drops from his perch and hangs on his spear, dodging the bullet. Pulling himself back up, he grins. "Haha, what now?" Another pirate pulls out a gun, causing his grin to disappear. "Son of a bitch."
Two lasers hit the guns, causing the pirates to drop them. They all look over and see Ace and Andon. "Looks like we're not late for the party." Ace cracks his knuckles.
"Oh, hey." Cicero waves. "Care to help?"
"I don't know, are you going to give back what you stole?"
"If you get me out of this situation, then yes."
"You got yourself a deal." Ace charges the group, with Andon firing lasers behind him.
I'm gonna have to go on some sort of writing spree eventually. Normally I had 3 chapters ahead of what I post, but back in March I was sick and you guys caught up some how. Oh well. Maybe this weekend. Hope you guys enjoyed and please review!
