Chapter 10: Defeated
"Smoker! You win...I surrender!" bellowed Luffy as he dropped to his knees in front of the Commodore "my head is yours just leave my crew alone" Luffy said as he slowly reverted out of gear second
Staring at the captain on his knees in front of him caught even Smoker by surprise. He was the man Smoker dedicated his life to capture, the man that he searched every corner of the sea to find, the man who escaped his grip twice and is now sitting before him surrendering 'I-is he mocking me? Or is he really surrendering?' Smoker asked himself 'Could this be a trap? No or else he wouldn't have dropped his guard this much' Smoker argued in his head "Do you really expect me to believe that the infamous Straw Hat Luffy is willingly surrendering to me?" Smoker asked
"Yes!" Luffy firmly answered "but only if you allow my crew to go unharmed" Luffy said "my head is worth more than theirs" Luffy said
Smoker was about to talk when a Usopp's voice rang across the sky "ARE YOU KIDDING ME!" screamed Usopp "how could you surrender! Luffy never surrenders! There's no one he can't beat….." Usopp said as tears trickled down his cheek "….no one! So get up Luffy and fight! Fight back don't cowardly surrender!" Usopp wailed
"Usopp is right! Luffy! We need you how can we sail without our captain! You can't surrender you just can't!" cried Chopper
Zoro stared at Luffy intensely before turning his back to him 'something is not right' Zoro thought as he pushed the marine he had just defeated away from him

"Luffy's surrendering?" Sanji said as his eyes widened in shock and immediately looked to see his beloved Nami-san when a voice chimed through his ears
"Hmph seems like the scrawny captain of yours wasn't all that then" Hina said
"Tch Luffy is….." Sanji began but the pink hair beauty before him was too gorgeous to stay mad at "…mellorine!" Screamed Sanji as he ran towards her with open arms, but was sent crashing to the ground by an unknown figure. Wiping the blood from his mouth Sanji looked to see who had attacked him "who's getting in the way of our love!" Sanji bellowed
"Our love? Don't you dare speak so rudely to my Hina! Like she would ever fall for someone such as you!" Fullbody screamed before being whacked on the head
"I do not belong to any of you!" bellowed Hina in anger
Rubbing the new bump on his head Fullbody walked in front of Hina "I shall handle this one….we have unsettled business" Fullbody said as he cracked his knuckles
Seeing the intensity in his eyes Hina smiled "alright but you know the consequence of losing" Hina warned
"Aa, but I won't be losing" Fullbody said
"Heh really now" Sanji said as he lit a cigarette "let's see how much you've improved since our last meeting you shitty bastard" Sanji said with a smug smile as the two stood ready for battle

Smoker tore his attention from the pleading Straw Hat crew and back to the man kneeling before him "you are willing to give up your life for your crew?" Smoker asked
"Aa" Luffy firmly said
"And what makes you think I won't go after your crew as soon as I have you captured" Smoker asked
"Cause you may be a marine, but you stay true to your word" Luffy plainly said
Smoker stared at the man blankly before a smirk flashed along his lips "foolish logic till the end Straw Hat Luffy" Smoker said "Fine at the moment you are captured your crew may go free" Smoker said as he turned to the marines "All men back down! No one is to touch the Straw Hat crew" Smoker said as the marines backed away from the eight pirates
"Wait what! But we've got a score to settle!" Fullbody wailed before being smacked on the head again
"Are you defying you superiors Fullbody?" Hina asked in a dark tone
"N-n-no captain Hina!" Fullbody said as he quickly stepped back from Sanji and with a glare "You got lucky this time!" Fullbody said
Sanji simply smiled and ignored the man and kept his attention on Luffy 'Luffy what are you thinking?" Sanji asked himself as he also felt like something wasn't right
Smoker pulled out the Kairoseki and placed them on Luffy's wrist. Luffy let out a groan as his energy quickly left him "Heh feeling weak there Straw hat? Smoker asked as he pulled Luffy up so he could walk "Hina! I'm going down ahead of you" Smoker announced"Alright" Hina responded as she herself knew that heading down from the Rockies would take some time so it would be better for him to go first with the captured Monkey D. Luffy
Nami watched as Luffy willingly allowed Smoker to place the handcuffs on him but 'I surrender, I surrender, I surrender, I surrender, I surrender' were the only words running through her mind. It replayed itself constantly like a broken record player. She willed it to stop but to no avail as it only got louder in her head 'he didn't just say that right?...I mean he would never surrender…..right! This has to be some joke! some sick twisted joke of his' Nami thought to herself as she began to take steps towards her captain 'Luffy…." Nami whispered 'this can't be happening he can't surrender he just can't' "Luffy" Nami said "Luffy! screamed Nami causing the raven haired boy to look in her direction
"Luffy….." for some reason only his name could leave her mouth at that moment. Not one rational thought was being processed and she found herself just staring at her captured captain, hoping that she could find the right words to make him reconsider what he was doing, but right when she was about to talk she saw the all too familiar smile flash across his face and he mouthed four words 'please don't worry Nami' as Smoker pushed him forward to walk 'Please don't worry? Please don't worry?...how the hell does he not expect me to worry!...unless he….' Nami thought and when she turned to look at both Zoro and Sanji's faces she knew that there was something else that was missing 'Luffy would never surrender….unless he had a plan…but what plan would involve him being handcuffed which stripped him of his abilities?' Nami thought to herself as she watched her captain walk further away from her 'Luffy if you have a plan….please let it work' Nami prayed to herself

Smoker forceful pushed Luffy forward earning a growl in response from the rubber captain "Monkey D. Luffy...your capture will be an important one" Smoker said "by capturing the rookie pirate that's been causing the world government so much grief it will show the rest to those simple minded pirates what's to come if they keep up their criminal ways" Smoker said as he walked behind Luffy
"Heh is that so? cause the way I see it by my death there will only be those who will be inspired that I was able to make it this far and that it is also possible for them as well!" Luffy retorted
"Che again with your foolish logic" Smoker said as he pushed Luffy again causing him to stumble forward "Ah the slay is in sight" Smoker said "so I will have you safe on my ship and then it's Impel Down for you" Smoker said with a malicious grin
'Hmmmm this should be far enough' Luffy said to himself "Oy Smokey" Luffy mocked
"My name is Smoker Straw Hat and what is it?" Smoker asked but was hit in the face by a hard object "Ugh! what the..." Smoker began but a wave of anger swept through Smoker as he stared at the once handcuffed Straw Hat now free before him "How did you break free!" bellowed Smoker
"Shishishishishishi well when we were fighting earlier after dodging my attack you dropped something...something very interesting" Luffy said as he pulled out the object Smoker had dropped and dangled it before him
Flashback
"Gomu Gomu no...Jet Stamp!" bellowed Luffy as stretches his legs out to stomp on Smoker, but smoker rolls out of the way before Luffy could hit him. Luffy then glares at Smoker "running away Smoker that's not like you" Luffy says but his attention the falls on a object on the ground in front of him
Ignoring Luffy's comment Smoker gets to his feet and stares at Luffy "I must say you've gotten stronger" Smoker said causing Luffy to look back at him "but your still not one hundred percent so I'll just end this quickly" Smoker said with an malicious smile "White snake!" shouted Smoker as he launched a long snake of dense smoke from his hand that towards Luffy
Luffy quickly picked up the object and then tried to dodge the attack
End Flashback
Smoker's face immediately paled as he frantically patted his pockets "The key!" Smoker growled
"Aa the key" Luffy said with a large grin
Shaking in anger smoker looked up at Luffy "so tell be Straw Hat...why surrender? why willingly get captured if you were only going to break free?" Smoker growled
"Shishishishishishishi to get you as far away from my crew as possible!" Luffy firmly said "now it's just you and me Smokey" Luffy said with a smug smile
with his mouth hung open he stared at the rubber captain before him 'This...this damn Straw Hat completely tricked me! ME! ugh!' Che well if you think you or your crew are still safe than thing again! "Hina!" bellowed Smoker who despite the distance between them they were still in ear shot range "Straw Hat has escaped! capture his crew at all costs!" Smoker screamed "let's see your crew survive them" Smoker said
"Heh my crew can handle those marines easily" Luffy smiled "now how about we start round two Smokey" Luffy said as he took his fighting stance
xxxxx
"Hina!" Bellowed Smoker causing Hina to jump at his voice "What is this he screaming about now?" Hina asked herself "Straw Hat has escaped! capture his crew at all costs!" Smoker screamed. "What!" yelled Hina
"Luffy escaped!" Chopper asked
"Luffy! you did it!" Usopp screamed "I knew you wouldn't let them get you!" Usopp laughed
"Uwaaaaaaaa Straw Hat you had me...so worried!" Franky said as he cried
"Che shitty bastard making me worry" Sanji said
"Che always taking stupid risks" Zoro said with a grin
"Well there really is never a dull moment with captain-san" Robin said
"Yohohohohohohohoho Luffy's free! I can't believe my ears...ah but I have now ears yohohohohohoho Skull Joke!" brook laughed
"...Luffy you...you...you idiot! I swear I'll kill you when I see you" Nami said as she couldn't help the smile that crept to her lips as she gripped her chest tightly

Still fuming in anger Smoker pulled out his jutte "Monkey D. Luffy you shall pay for making a mockery out of me!" Growled Smoker as he dashed forward towards the rubber captain and violently swung his jutte at Luffy head, but Luffy barely dodged it and jumped backwards
"Damn...that was close..." Luffy said and he rubbed his neck "seems like this is going to be harder this time" Luffy said as he placed a fist on the grounds "Gear Seco..." Luffy began but suddenly dropped to his knees. A wave of pain took over the straw hat pirate and he was now crouched over in pain "Da...mn it!...why...n-now!" Luffy weakly said as he clutched his body
Smoker stared at the boy in confusion before he realized what happened and smiled at the captain with dark intentions "Heh so it would seem that your condition is worse than you showed" Smoker said as he slowly walked towards Luffy "well now this should be all the more fun now don't you think?" Smoker said as he rose his jutte above his head and swiftly brought it down towards the body of Luffy causing the captain to release a blood curdling scream
"Uwaaaaaaaaaaaa!" Bellowed Luffy as he held his lower back and rolled around trying to ease the excruciating pain he was now going through "d-damn...y-y-y-you" Luffy managed to whisper
Smiling down at Luffy Smoker grabbed Luffy by the collar "I'm going to have fun with you" Smoker said in a dark tone
xxxxx
"Oy everyone!" Zoro screamed causing everyone to tear their eyes away from their captain and onto Zoro "Luffy is safe now so pay attention to your opponent!" Zoro yelled as the marines again attacked the Straw Hats under order of Smoker
"Alright" They all shouted as they once again they engaged into battle with the marines
"Hahahahaha well it would seem lady luck is smiling on me today" Fullbody chuckled as he glared at Sanji "I guess our showdown shall still take place" Fullbody smiled
"Heh seems so" calmly stated Sanji as he took a drag at his cigarette
Steadily growing angry at Sanji's lack of fear towards him Fullbody clenched his fist and tried his best to glare a hole into the blonde's chest "Damn you! always looking down on people thinking you're better than them! but you're not! you're a pirate and a pirate is worst than scum! I'm a marine and I will forever be above you!" shouted Fullbody, but when he looked at Sanji his back was turned and was completely ignoring him
"Nami-swan! Robin-chwan! you two look beautiful!...hey how dare you attack my Nami-swan!" Screamed Sanji as he was about to chase after a marine who lunged at Nami but just barely dodged a punch coming from behind him. Turning around he stared at the now enraged Fullbody "Oy oy that's dangerous" Sanji calmly said
"You...you have disrespected me for the last time!" Fullbody growled in rage "but now I will show you how much stronger my fists are!" Fullbody yelled
Sanji sighed before taking on last glance at Nami and noticed she easily knocked out the approaching marine. With a soft chuckle he turned his attention back to Fullbody "damn so troublesome...I guess the only to get to my Nami-san and Robin-chan is to defeat you" Sanji said as he placed his hands in his pockets "so how about we get this over with" Sanji said as his serious stare sent chills down Fullbody's spine
With a gulp and having to mentally scream at himself in order to ease the shaking in his legs Fullbody brought his fist up in front of his face 'there's no way in hell you'll allow him to scare you! you've rigorously trained every day since you lost to him! you're stronger than you once were! you stronger than he will ever be...and plus lady Hina is watching me fi...' Fullbody said to himself and turned to wave at his captain to only see that she was no longer there "captain Hina! where did you go!" screamed Fullbody
"Oy it really isn't smart to turn you back on you challenger" Sanji said as he was now an inch away from Fullbody "especially if you're to one who challenged me" Sanji said as he swiftly threw a powerful kick towards the head of Fullbody
'Shit!' Fullbody screamed in his head as he quickly brought his arm up to block the kick which send his backwards a few feet
"Oh...you have improved" Sanji said "in our last confrontation that attack would have finished you...I'm quite impressed" Sanji mockingly said
Growling in frustration Fullbody ignored the throbbing pain in the right arm that he used to block Sanji's kick and ran towards the blonde cook "I've had enough of your disrespect! I will show you how strong I really am!"screamed Fullbody as he slipped on his steel knuckles and threw a right hook
Sanji barely dodged the attack as he jumped backwards. Staring at the man in shock Sanji smiled to himself 'hmm I guess he wasn't joking when he said he was stronger' Sanji thought as half his cigarette fell to the ground due to the pressure of the punch. Removing the broken cigarette from his mouth and casting it aside Sanji stared at the victorious grin smeared on Fullbody's face "impressive...I must say you've truly improved, but let's see how long you last when I'm serious" Sanji said and with that Sanji dashed forward and threw a powerful kick towards the body of Fullbody
"Shit!" screamed Fullbody

Kaen Boshi, Kaen Boshi, Kaen Boshi, Kaen Boshi" shouted Usopp as multiple marines bursted into flames" That...would...teach you...to never...mess with captain Usopp!" bellowed Usopp
"Amazing" Chopper said as he stared at the sharpshooter 'I can't slack off Usopp is trying his best so I should as well' Chopper said to himself as he placed his second Rumble Ball into his mouth "Rumble Ball! Arm Point!" Chopper said as his forearms became extremely muscular "Kokutei Cross!" yelled Chopper as he delivered a powerful punch to one marine and sent him flying into multiple marines behind him. Smiling to himself he went off to face another group of marines
xxxxx
"Yohohohohohohoho Franky-san looks like we're surrounded" Brook said as he and the cyborg stood back to back while a group of marine laughed menacingly at the two Straw Hats
"Tch not for long" Franky said as he took a deep breath "Fresh...Fire!" yelled Franky as he shot fire from his mouth setting all that was around them on fire
With the marines running around screaming in pain Brook calmly walked past them and sheathes his sword "Hanauta Sanchō Yahazu Giri!" Brook says as behind him all the marines chests suddenly explode with blood and they all fall to the ground
"Che weaklings" Franky said as he prepared for more marines
xxxxx
Staring at her marines one by one being easily defeated Hina clenched her fist "and they were supposed to be the strongest marines, what a load of bullshit" Hina harshly cursed as she watched them
"Seems like everything isn't going the way you'd want it" Nami said as she and Robin stood behind Hina
"Maybe not now...but in the end I'm sure it will" Hina calmly said
"What makes you so confident of that happening?" Robin asked
"Cause I'll see to it that it will" Hina said and with that dashed towards the two female Straw Hats

"Santoryu...Oni Giri!" shouted Zoro as he slashed multiple marines 'one hundred and sixty seven' Zoro counted in his head as he stared at the marine's frightened faces "Che who's next" Zoro asked as he placed his arm on his empty sheaths and rested his katana on his shoulder
"I'll be your next opponent Roronoa Zoro" Tashigi said as she made her way passed the marines
Eyes widening Zoro mentally cursed at himself for asking the question "What the...not you again" Zoro said as he stared at the short haired woman
"Yes me again and this time won't be like last time Roronoa! I will defeat you!" Tashigi declared as she brought her katana in front of her
Zoro stared at her and then the thought of her shirt torn and her cleavage threatening to show itself popped into Zoro's mind immediately making his face go red and he quickly looked away from the woman
Initially confused by this reaction she then remembered what had happened in their previous encounter and her face turned a dark shade of red as well "What are you thinking out about! you pervert!" Tashigi screamed unconsciously covering her chest
"What! how am I a pervert! you stupid woman!" Zoro screamed back
"Stupid woman! how dare you call me stupid! you perverted idiot!" Tashigi retorted
"What was that!" Zoro growled back
Trying to calm herself down she took a deep breath "Look going back and forth will not help solve anything" Tashigi said as she pointed her katana towards Zoro "I'll say it again I challenge you Roronoa Zoro and this time I'll surely win!" Tashigi said. With a deep sigh Zoro stared at Tashigi causing her to feel uncomfortable under his deep gaze "w-what are you looking at" Tashigi asked as she took one step back
After a long silence Zoro brought his katana off his shoulder "...nothing" Zoro said but she could see there was definitely something "and I accept your challenge...cause well I've learned that saying no to you has no affect" Zoro said as he scratched the back of his head
Staring at the green haired swordsman she couldn't help but be confused 'what was that just now?' she asked herself but quickly shrugged it off "Well Roronoa get ready!" Tashigi screamed and with that charged the swordsman

"It would seem you have a lot of trust in your crew's fighting ability" Smoker said
"Of course! they are the crew of the future Pirate King after all" Luffy said with a smile
"Ha! that's if you can get pass me" Smoker said
"Don't worry Smokey I will!" Luffy said as he ran towards the Commodore "Gomu Gomu no...Pistol!" screamed Luffy as he threw a fist towards Smoker, but this time it only went through the Commodore causing both Smoker and Luffy to look at each other in shock. After reeling his arm back he blankly stared at his fist and then back at Smoker 'I...I went through him...but earlier I was able to hit him...how come I can't now?' Luffy asked himself
'He...he went through me...meaning he still doesn't know how to control his Haki' Smoker said to himself as a slow smile crept to his lips "So I was right" Smoker said "Those first few hits you got off me were mere flukes, and now you are no longer a threat Straw Hat Luffy" Smoker said with a dark smile
"Shit!" Luffy quietly cursed to himself "Well I was able to hit you once then that mean that I can do it again!" Luffy said as he again charged Smoker "Gomu Gomu no...Gatling Gun!" bellowed Luffy as he sent a barrage of punches towards Smoker, but all to no avail as each punch just went through the body of Smoker
Chuckling at Luffy's attempts Smoker began walking towards Luffy "It's futile Monkey D. Luffy" Smoker said "You can't defeat an opponent you can't touch...which leaves you one option" Smoker said "Submit to me" growled Smoker
Jumping backwards Luffy glared at Smoker "Never!" shouted the Straw Hat captain
"Then pay the consequences" Smoker said as he changed the shape of the smoke surrounding him into a blade like form "White Blade" Smoker said as he dashed towards the Straw Hat captain and before Luffy could react Smoker pierced Luffy's stomach "if you won't allow me to capture you...then your death will be equally as good for me and the world" Smoker whispered to Luffy as he harshly pulled his smoke blade out of the Straw Hat
Placing his hand on his new wound Luffy saw the blood pouring out of him and then looked up to Smoker with shocked eyes 'he...he got me' Luffy said in his mind as he stared at his now ruby stained hands. Luffy then turned into the direction of his crew and at that moment the only face he wanted to see the most was the only face that flashed through his mind "N-Nami..." was all the raven hair boy could say before falling to the ground defeated.
