A day later… On the Hill top Mansion,
Skies were blue…
So is Sanji…
On the 3rd floor of the 5 floored mansion, Sanji and Takono were having their 3 day rest until they start working for Don Pinstripelli Potorotti, a World Government Official… Now, Sanji sits restless on his bed and Takono got off her bed, having a talk with Sanji…
"Sanji-kun, what'll we do now?" Takono asked, feeling a bit better from her operation.
"Tsk. I don't know… now my plans of finding All Blue is being delayed… Damn Pinstripe…" Sanji muttered, mad at the Don for making Takono his 'PERSONAL ASSISTANT'. "Damn that guy!! Why does he have to make you 'PERSONAL ASSISTANT' when he has a lotta toadies on this freakin' mansion!!" Sanji said, angrily.
"Sanji-kun, relax!! Don Pinstripelli does not look like a bad person at all!!" Takono smiled, making him relaxed a bit.
"Yeah, right…" Sanji looked down.
"Hehe… don't worry, if that guy does anything bad to me, I'll tell you right away…" Takono said to Sanji, making him chilled a bit… "And don't worry, I'm sure we'll be fine working with Don Pinstripe…"
"Oh yeah? What about my plans for finding All Blue? First, we are cooped up here working for a shitty bastard who made you a 'PERSONAL ASSISTANT' and then Zoro bolted with the Mini Merry… How can you say we'll be fine??" Sanji said, putting his hands on his face.
"We still have hope, Sanji-kun. Don't lose hope yet… I'll figure out a way to convince Don Pinstripe to let us go" Takono said, reassuring Sanji.
"How, if we are one of the most wanted pirates of the World Government…" Sanji said, making sound impossible for them to escape the Don… "…and that Baxter bastard. He has that… Bunshin-Bunshin No Mi… which annoys me so much that makes me want to KICK HIM IN THE FACE SOME MORE!!" Sanji clenched his fists.
"Relax, Sanji-kun, we'll find the way outta here before we start working for the Don…" Takono looked out the window. "I hope we can…"
Outside, on the hidden Docks of the Mansion, Mini Merry stays afloat…
Zoro awoke…
"NYAHHH!!!" Zoro yawned. "Hm? Ero-cook isn't back yet? Takono was shot on the back by a PISTOL not a machine gun… tsk… what a dumb cook…" Zoro took a look outside.
"NOW where the hell am I?" Zoro said, scratching his head. "I tied the boat to the docks, but what the hell am I doing here?!" but as Zoro saw some World Government Agents, he ducked.
"DAMN ERO-COOK! I KNEW THIS WAS ANOTHER TRAP BY HIM TO KILL ME!!" Zoro thought angrily.
Meanwhile in the Den of the Mansion…
"Don Pinstripe, I swear, we have to send those two most wanteds to the Marines before they can wreck havoc here on the mansion" Baxter tried his best to convince The Don to change his mind about making Sanji and Takono slaves on the mansion.
"Look, Baxter, you are my right hand man and you should respect the decision I make, okay? If Sanji and Takono are up to doing something bad, I want you to personally kill them both, okay?" The Don replied, still in his sharp British accent. "And tell them to forget about having their three days, they might be too lazy to work after their rest… Bring them to me so I can tell them to do their work now."
"Yes, Don…" but Baxter wasn't satisfied, he MUST find a way to get rid of Sanji and Takono…
Room 5 of the Mansion…
"Well, what now?" Sanji asked, feeling bored.
"I dunno, but now, I'm kinda hungry…" Takono replied, bored as well.
"Too bad I can't cook here, eh?" Sanji said with a smile.
"Nah, it's quite okay, I can hold my hunger…" Takono said.
The door suddenly opens…
"Hey, you two, Don Pinstripe wants to see you." Baxter called in.
"Now what is it he wants?" Sanji stood, stretching and then headed to the door.
"I have a bad feeling about this…" Takono stood and walked over to the door, starting to worry…
As Sanji and Takono head to the main office of the mansion, Baxter stopped on front of the door.
"I still don't want you two numb skulls working for the Don…" Baxter turned to the two. "You two deserve the nicest stay in the Gates of Justice in Enies Lobby…" Baxter said, as his hands clenched into a fist.
"Quit your shitty blabber and let us through the damn door…" Sanji replied angrily.
"Sanji-kun, I told you to relax." Takono said silently.
Baxter opened the door to the office. "You two are lucky The Don spared your hard ass-lives… tsk…" Baxter's words shot Sanji's ear.
"WHAT?! WAIT TILL I GET THE CHANCE TO KICK YOUR NICE HAIRY…"
"Sanji-kun!!" Takono stopped Sanji to continue.
"See, Don Pinstripe? Sanji wants to kick me. I told you these two are bad news…" Baxter said to the Don.
"YOU LITTLE WHELP!! YOURE LIKE A KID COMPLAININ' TO YOUR FREAKIN DAD!! CAN'T YOU FACE ME ONCE?! YOU SON OF A…"
"ENOUGH!!" The Don boomed as he slammed his fist on the table, making it crack on the middle. "Baxter, leave, I only told you to escort these two, go"
As Baxter left the room, Sanji gave a final shot of words to him: "SCARDY BASTARD!!"
"Sanji, enough." The Don said calmly, he came and closed the door behind the two. "I thought you were a gentle man? What happened to the codes of gentlemanly etiquette?" the Don picked up his glass of red wine.
"Tsk, I'm only a gentleman to the ladies, fancy pants" Sanji glared at the Don. "Not on some black coated bastards like you…"
"Hahaha!!" The Don almost choked on the wine he was sipping. "I can tell why are you mad!" The Don lowered his glass. "Is it because I made Takono my Personal Assistant?"
Sanji just looked down. Takono looked away from the Don.
"Aww, see? You can't just hide your feelings, Sanji. You have to admit them, too." The Don picked up a knife from his table. "Now, on to business…" The Don walked over to the two. "You need to pledge your loyalty to me, with this knife, slit a light cut to your neck. And the cut will dry, maintaining there forever." The Don handed the knife to Sanji. Sanji just grabbed the knife and slit his throat quickly. It didn't bleed, but he just wanted this thing to be over with. "There, I slit my throat, happy? Now show me to your kitchen…" Sanji asked impatiently.
"Tsk, impatient fool, take it easy!!" The Don smiled. "Head out the door to your left and to the corridor to the right, got that?"
Sanji just grumbled something and head out the door, slamming it behind him.
"If I were him, I'd be more gentle…" the Don said, then he faced Takono. "I'll slit your neck for you… you might do something… unexpected…" the Don closed on to Takono. "Remember, you'll be working for me forever…" The Don said, smiling.
The word 'Forever' rang in Takono's head, remembering her days under Jackal since she was 5…
Takono gulped.
"Hehe, I know your of past, Takono. I've been reported about it last night by some of my Agents who knew more information about your bounty…" The Don said calmly, but smiled at the same time. "But don't worry, I'm not anything like Jackal…" The Don kneeled in front of Takono, holding her chin up, placing the knife on her neck. "Don't move, it'll hurt a bit…" Takono held her breath.
Meanwhile, at the grand kitchen of the mansion…
"'Is it because I made Takono my Personal Assistant?'" Sanji made a mocking voice of the Don. "Freaking bastard… OO!!!" Sanji chopped the carrots harder, almost cutting the chopping board in two. "The way he talks reminds me of BON CLAY!!
The other chefs were just starting at Sanji.
"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU FREAKOIDS LOOKING AT?!" Sanji yelled at them all. "GET TO WORK!!" all the other chef's started working, but the Head Chef came walking to Sanji.
"Hey Bub, you have a problem?" the Head Chef was taller and bigger than Sanji. Just as big as Blueno.
"HECK YES I HAVE A PROBLEM, IM BEING COMANNED BY A 5'9 PANSY WHO MADE MY GIRLFRIEND A PERSONAL ASISTANT!!" Sanji yelled at the head Chef angrily, all the other Chefs around stared at him again.
"Well, Bub, this is a wrong place to show out your problems." The Head Chef said, crossing his arms.
Sanji grumbled again, then he said, "WHATS YOUR PROBLEM ANYWAY?! CANT A CHEF DO HIS DUTIES WITHOUT BUGGING ANY OTHER CHEFS?!?" Sanji's face glowed bright red from anger.
The Head Chef cracked his fists. "You wanna fight, Bub?"
Sanji just glared at the Head Chef. He walked to the Head Chef. "COLLIER!!" Sanji landed a hard kick on the neck of the Head Chef, crashing on all the other utensils behind him, knocking him out cold.
"Bastard… NOW WHAT ARE YOU STARING AT AGAIN?! GET TO WORK DAMN IT!!" Sanji yelled at the other Chefs who were staring at him.
The Kitchen door opened. "What's going on here?" Baxter emerged from the door, looking at the Chefs. "I heard some yelling and crashing of plates. What's going on, tell me." All the Chefs were looking at Baxter, innocently. Except Sanji who was chopping cabbages hard on the chopping board.
"Ah. The culprit is pretty obvious…" Baxter walked over to Sanji's working station. "Eh, Sanji?"
Sanji worked silently.
"Oh, well. We'll see what happens if I report this to the Don…" Baxter said, calmly. But this only irritated Sanji some more.
Sanji dropped the knife and held Baxter by his polo. "What the heck is your problem if IM ONLY WORKING QUIETLY HERE?!?" Sanji yelled at Baxter's face.
A smirk carved Baxter's face. "Aww, Sanji is getting annoyed… tsk! I pity you a lot…" Baxter said sarcastically, which annoyed Sanji to the fullest. Sanji took a knife and pointed it to Baxter's nose. "Annoy me again, bastard, and I'll slice your nose off…" Sanji warned, as he shot Baxter with an angry glare.
"Touchy touchy…" Baxter removed Sanji's hands from his polo, dusting it. "Anyways, the Don's lunch should be every 2 o'clock, SHARP. If a second passes the 2 o'clock line, he'll kill you." Baxter warned, as if he means it, then he headed out to the door.
Now this time it was Baxter's turn to land 2 final words before he leaves the door. Baxter looked at Sanji and said: "Ero-Cook."
Sanji glowed bright red, he threw the knife on the chopping board, breaking it into two. "DAMN YOU BAXTER!! I'LL GET BACK TO YOU!!" Sanji yelled. "Damn it… I wonder what's going on with Takono-chwan… I hope that Pinstripe bastard does not touch her…" Sanji thought hopelessly.
Meanwhile in the hidden Docks of the Mansion…
Another Agent fell down as Zoro slashed him through his stomach.
Zoro looked around. "Wow, what a neat cove… but anyways, I have to get outta here before something else happens… Damn Ero-cook, where has he gone??"
Zoro sprinted through the Mansion-Dock entrance
Back at the Office of the Mansion…
"Okay, now, I want you to get a bottle of red wine in the mini fridge." The Don calmly commanded. "Don't take the ones which were just new, take the ones which are already open." The Don continued.
Takono obeyed. She can't do anything else than to obey or else something might happen to her like what Jackal did when she was 5 years old…
As Takono took the bottle from the mini fridge, the Don was enjoying the view… (If you get what we mean…)
"Well, cough! Cough! Thank you Takono, but this is only your cough! First assignment. Cough!" The Don's cheeks were red, but he could hide it well.
A vein popped on Takono's forehead. "What's wrong with you…?" Takono glared at the Don, who was smiling innocently at her. "Is there a problem?"
"Nothing! Nothing at all! Cough!" the Don said, sweat drop.
Takono didn't like this… but anyways, she stood ready beside the Don in case another assignment is given to her. The room was silent until the Don and Takono heard the door knocking.
"Come it. Its open." The Don said calmly as he filled his glass with red wine.
Two agents and Doctor Trisha walked in the room.
"Don Pinstripelli, we found Doctor Trisha lurking around in a seaside hut, running away from work again!!" The Agent explained.
"You disappoint me, Doctor. I thought you should be in the infirmary taking care of the sick?" The Don said, as he took a swig of red wine.
"I HATE CURING YOUR MEN!! THEY ALL STINK AND THEY DON'T TAKE A BATH!!" the Doctor yelled at the Don.
"Hm? Is that a complain I heard? The Don lowered his glass. "Tsk, Agents bring this lady to her room. She has to be locked up and not to be released until I say so." The Don ordered.
"Yes Sir!" Before the Agents take Trisha away, Trisha took a glance at Takono. Then she said: "Wait! Stop! That girl is my patient!!" Trisha said, surprised seeing Takono working as Personal Assistant for the Don.
"Takono here?" the Don asked. "You're joking. If this is another excuse of running away again, I'll send you to Enies Lobby so you can heal the Marines there."
"I could swear it to my loyalty to you, Don Pinstripe, if you look at her back, and if you see her shirt with dried blood, she's the one! She was shot on the back twice and I had to do surgery or she'll die from internal bleeding!!" Trisha said, alarmed.
The Don stood, and took a look at Takono's back which was with dried blood on her shirt. "Well, this has to be proven more, what if you just placed a blood stained shirt on her to hide your real motives?" the Don said, looking at Trisha.
"IT'S THE TRUTH!! IM NOT LYING!!" Trisha yelled.
"Well, I still need proof." So, the Don lifted Takono's shirt at the back, but as he did, Takono soon faced the Don and gave him a nice 5-star slap on the face and she screamed shrilly: "ERO–ERO!! AHH!!!!!"
The Don crashed on the floor, and said with a nose bleed and heart eyes: "Gahh!! Fine!! It's true! LET DOCTOR TRISHA GO AND TELL HER TO TREAT TAKONO!!" The Don commanded.
"Yes sir!!" The Agents soon agreed.
"Come, Takono-Nii Chan, I'll treat that wound" Trisha soon came to Takono and held her hand, and pulled her out of the room.
Takono froze in anger because she would never know The Don would do such a thing!!
Meanwhile, the Kitchen of the Mansion…
Sanji was holding the lunch for the Don. His face still red from anger…
"Well, whatcha waiting for? It's gonna be 2 o'clock sharp!!" the Chef beside him said.
"Tsk, I know, I know, just don't worry about me…" Sanji walked out of the kitchen and headed to the office.
Just about 2 o'clock, Sanji opened the door and saw the Don so red and heart eyes behind his desk.
Sanji raised an eyebrow. "Eh? What's wrong with you?"
"Nyahaha!! Whaa, believe this, Sanji! I GET TO TAKE A PEEK AT HER BACK!!" The Don said, face so red.
Sanji knew what he was talking about. "PEEK?! AT HER BACK?!?" Sanji grew madder than before, Sanji carefully put the Don's lunch on the floor and soon ran and jumped to give a nice kick on the face. "ESCALOPE!!!" The Don was smacked nicely on the right side of his head. "NYAHH!!" the Don fell off his seat, and Sanji towered over him. "You… You… PEEKED AT TAKONO-CHWAN?!" Sanji glared evilly at the Don who was on the floor.
"AGENTS!! REPORT TO THE OFFICE!! AN ASSASSINATION ATTEMPT!!" The Don screamed, and in less than 5 seconds, 40 Agents came rushing inside the office and soon held Sanji in one place. Sanji couldn't do anything, or Takono will be threatened as well. "DAMN SCARDY CAT!! FACE ME LIKE A MAN, PANSY!!" Sanji struggled.
"Tsk! Rushing to my office and giving me a kick! What a gentleman you are?!" The Don fixed his tie. "YOU PEEKED AT TAKONO-CHWAN!! SO WHY THE HELL SHOULD I NOT KICK YOU?!"
"Peeked? What are you talking about? I don't peek! A gentleman like me doesn't peek!" the Don said, dusting his bright red blazer. "Or maybe YOU are the one who peeks, Sanji!"
"DAMN YOU, YOU FREAKIN PANSY!!" Sanji yelled at the Don's face. "Take this man to the room where I kept Doctor Trisha…" the Don said calmly now. "I don't want to see this Ero-cooks face…"
"SHADDUP!! MY NAKAMA HAS THE RIGHTS TO SAY THAT!!" Sanji yelled even more, as the World Government Agents take him away to the lockup…
The Room Number 99… a dark room located on the hidden base of the Mansion…
"STAY IN THERE!!" The Agent pushed Sanji inside.
"DAMN YOU!! IM GONNA…" Before Sanji could finish, the Agent closed the door on his face. "OW DAMN IT!! WATCH IT YOU SON OF A…!" then Sanji heard a faint calling of his name: "Sanji-kun? You're here too?"
Sanji looked to where the voice was coming from, and saw Takono and Doctor Trisha. "NYAHH!! TAKONO-CHWAN!! TRISHA-CHAN!! YOU'RE HERE!!" Sanji came running to them with heart eyes and twirly legs. "WHAT ARE YOU TWO BEAUTIES ARE DOING HERE?!" Sanji asked, hands clasped together and heart eyes.
"Tsk, that Don Pinstripelli dismissed me from service…" Doctor Trisha said sadly.
"Sanji-kun… come here…" Takono asked. As Sanji came to her, she immediately hugged him and started crying. "S-Sanji-kun! Sniff! That Ero-Don peeked at me!!"
Sanji's eyes grew wide with anger, but he just hugged Takono harder. "He told me about it… Tsk… that bastard…" Takono hugged even harder. "I want you to kick him, please?? HE RAISED MY SHIRT AT THE BACK AND I SLAPPED HIM!! Sniff!"
Trisha just watched the two. "Aww! You two are a very cute couple!!"
Sanji looked at Takono "Don't worry, Takono-chwan. I'll kick him for you…" Takono persisted "Wahh!! But I want you to kick him NOW!! I don't want working with him anymore! He's just like Jackal in his perverted side!! I WANNA GET OUTTA HERE!!" Takono cried hard, Sanji relaxed her a bit. "I'd love to Takono-chwan, but only the two of us versus a thousand Agents on this mansion to escape? I don't think so…"
"Aww… that's really so cute!! Hey! Hey! Kiss will you? I wanna see!!" Trisha said excitedly. "Ehehe, I'm sorry, Trisha-Chan, I'm on a limit on the cheek only!" Sanji said, as Takono sat down beside Trisha. "Why is that Don a pervert… he's so cool and has a lotta style, but… his ATTITUDE?! Egh! He's just like Sanji-kun!" Takono said, Sanji cried a river. "LIKE ME?!"
"No, Sanji-kun, he's MORE than you… you don't peek, do you?" Takono asked.
"Ah… well… I don't of course!! A gentleman, like me? PEEKING?! How disgraceful!" Sanji replied.
"The Don is naturally like that, Takono-Nii Chan. He's cool when he sees a girl, but when he's WITH one, you don't wanna know…" Trisha explained.
"But WHY?!" Takono yelled. "I don't know either, Takono-Nii Chan, but when I was working for him, you don't wanna know how many times he did it to me, honestly. That's why I quit being his Personal Assistant and worked as a Doctor instead…" Trisha replied, then she placed her hand behind Takono. "How's your injury going?"
"Its fine, but… I JUST WANNA GET OUTTA HERE!!" Takono yelled louder.
"By the way, what are you two doing here? You two are part of the Mugiwara, right? What are you doing with out the other crew?" Trisha asked.
"Hehehe, Sanji-kun here is looking for All Blue." Takono answered.
"All Blue? I thought that sea does not exist?" Trisha said, wondering.
"Well, IM SURE ALL BLUE EXISTS!! IF IT DOESN'T, IT'LL BE A WASTE TRAVELLING FAR AND WIDE FROM THE CREW!!" Sanji replied, not losing any positive thinking.
"And I'm his navigator!" Takono said to Trisha, smiling.
"AWW!! THIS IS SOO KAWAII!! I WANNA SEE YOU TWO KISS!!" Trisha said, hands clasped.
"Eh, no, but I'm sure one day you will!" Sanji smiled.
Then the three heard some crashing sound behind them, three of them looked behind, and they also heard a faint echo of somebody talking angrily. "Ah!! You are just as annoying as that Ero-cook!! Damn It!" it was Zoro!!
Sanji placed his ear where the echo was coming from. "Here! Marimo must be somewhere here!!" Sanji stood his ground and said: "stay back ladies, this is gonna be a bit dangerous… SHINSHINABE SHOOT!!" giving a hard-slamming side kick to the wall, the wall was smashed into pieces and there was a hollow cave behind the broken pieces of walls. "OI!! MARIMO!! WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU?!" Sanji yelled at the black hole in front of him.
"KEEP TALKING SO I CAN HEAR YOU, DAMN ERO-COOK!!" Zoro yelled back, as he tries finding his way out.
"DAMN YOU, MARIMO!! WAIT TILL YOU COME HERE!!" Sanji yelled back.
Well, it took about 2 hours for Zoro to find his way out and entered the Room Number 99 by the dark hole in the back of the room.
Zoro fell to the floor, gasping for air. "Damn it! That cave down there is a MAZE!! I couldn't find my way out! Gasp!!"
"HEY!! THIS CAVE!! I RECOGNISE THIS CAVE!!" Trisha pointed out to the deep dark hole in front of her. "THIS CAVE LEADS TO MY ESCAPE HATCH!!" Trisha said, happily.
"Escape hatch?" Sanji questioned. "Where is your escape hatch leading to?"
"You see, this hill where the mansion stands has many hidden caves, and I found one cave which leads to the way out to my hut!!" Trisha said. "This cave has 4 passages, two leading to the seaside, one to the hidden docks, and another to my hut." Trisha continued.
"I saw the Mini Merry in the hidden docks." Zoro said, as he sat down.
"So?? YOU DECIDED TO RETURN THE SHIP, EH?!" Sanji said, hands on waist.
"SHUT UP, ERO-COOK!! THE BOAT WAS TAKEN HERE WHILE I WAS ASLEEP!! I DIDN'T TAKE IT!!" Zoro yelled at Sanji.
"Will you two stop fighting? This maybe our way out to escape!!" Takono said, excitedly. "Why don't we just go ahead and…"
"It's not that easy, Takono-Nii Chan. Now that they knew that I was running away from my work, I'm sure they are guarding the caves heavily now…" Trisha said back, sadly.
"Damn…" Sanji leaned on the wall, thinking how to escape this mansion.
"But!! I have a pretty good plan!!" Trisha snapped her finger. "There's an everyday 9 AM and 3 PM shift, that way, the caves will be clear every 9 AM and 3 PM, Allowing us to… ESCAPE!!" Trisha said happily.
"Yosha!! We escape at the 9 AM shift!!" Takono said. "No, Takono-Nii Chan, 9 AM is too early, and you still have to work for the Don. if he finds out you're missing, he wont stop making his Agents move until you're found… so I suggest 3 PM, because that's when the Don takes his nap and the Agents take their shift" Trisha said.
"You really know the Don and his time schedules, Trisha-Chan" Sanji said, as he smiled at Trisha.
"He ALMOST became my boyfriend you know…" Trisha said, looking down. "BUT!! Forget him and I'll escape with you guys!"
"EH?!" Sanji, Zoro and Takono gasped in unison. "But, that'll be so wrong if a World Government Doctor comes with the Mugiwara!!" Takono said.
"You guys are too hasty, I still have Takono as my patient. She has not fully recovered yet from her bullet shots, so how will she be okay without a doctor like me??" Trisha said.
"Hmm… you have a good point there. And we won't have to worry anymore about getting sick since we have a doctor with us." Sanji said thoughtfully.
"Well, to me it's okay, as long as she knows how to keep quiet." Zoro said.
"So, now, the plan is… Takono Nii-Chan and Sanj-san will work with the Don until 3 PM and we meet back here, then we escape before the guards complete their shift, okay?" Trisha gave one last revision of the escape. "The Don will release us tomorrow, I'm sure of it. Because, with out slaves, the Don will have to do everything by his own, and he hates that. So, he will NEED to release us."
"You really know the Don… or maybe he IS your boyfriend?" Takono asked.
"Heehee! He's not, Takono-Nii Chan! I'm sure of it!" Trisha smiled back as an answer.
"Um… what about me? What shall I do if You, Ero-Cook and Takono are out there working?" Zoro asked.
"You wait here, until we come back at 3 PM, okay?" Trisha said. "Because if you come out there, they'll easily catch you."
"Oh, okay. Finally I get to sleep… just wake me up when you get here at 3 PM…" Zoro said, leaning back to the wall.
Now that the plan was set up to escape the mansion, will the plan work? Or Will the Don keep Sanji and Takono forever?? Now… we get to our Mugiwara friends… What happened?
On an island, the Mugiwara Flagship, the Thousand Sunny is docked on the white sands of the island. Koshi was enjoying the island, Wild Luffy is biting his toe, Menace Nami was climbing a tree like a monkey and Chaos Franky was going emo with his guitar… while Sogeking and Robin were tied up upside down on to a tree deep in the forest…
"Sogeking-san, you must find a way to get us down here!" Robin said, struggling.
"I'm trying, Robin! I'm trying!" Sogeking struggled harder. "Ugh! The binds just don't budge! That Luffy tied us too hard!!"
"I can't sprout any arms, my hands are tied as well…" Robin said, still struggling to loosen the binds.
But then, they heard a loud rustling of a bush. "NYAH!! IT'S A TIGER!!" Sogeking said, alarmed, but a man came out the bushes.
"Well, well. I'm having my daily walk on this forest and everyday, things getting weirder and weirder." The young man said.
The man was about Zoro's height, had black hair, wearing an opened black polo and a white jersey within, he has quite a long sword on his left, and he looked like he was a swordsman… "Now I see twin peas hanging on the tree… amazing how this tree sprouts things…" The young man said, chuckling.
"Ahh, Young man, please, help us from this predicament!" Sogeking asked politely.
"No way, I'm enjoying the view here…" The young man said, chuckling. "But, you guys really need help anyway…" The young man took out his sword and slashes the two ropes holding Robin and Sogeking, and then they both came crashing down.
"Ow!! Can you do it less painful next time?!" Sogeking got up, rubbing his back.
"Thank you… whoever you are…" Robin stood, dusting her jacket.
"Just call me Drake…" the young man replied. "And I was completely wondering how did you two ended up on the Isle of the Dragon…"
"Isle of the Dragon?" Sogeking asked. "THERE'S A DRAGON HERE?!" Sogeking panicked.
"No, masked man… I AM the dragon…" Drake replied, crossing his arms.
"You? How's that? You ate a devil fruit to turn into a dragon?" Sogeking asked.
"Wrong again, masked man… I was not talking literally a dragon. It's just a manner of expression." Drake said. "This island is called Isle of the Dragon because I live here, and I'm the one who named this island."
"But why dragon? Isn't that too scary?" Sogeking asked again.
"Tsk. Look at this…" Drake took a sheaf of paper form his pocket, and showed Sogeking a wanted poster.
Sogeking read it out loud. "Drake… dead or alive… TWO HUNDRED MILLION?! YOU ARE A CRIMINAL?!"
"Ever since I came here with my sword." Drake smiled. "Every time if any Marines try to come and claim this island, I had to defend this whole island, because this is MY Island. And do you want to know how many Marine fleets I cut down?"
"How many?" Sogeking asked, then Drake came close to Sogeking's ear "Seventy seven fleets… with their admirals on it…"
"NYAHH!!! NO WAY!!" Sogeking yelled. "YOU'RE JUST LIKE MIHAWK!!"
"Mihawk? Tsk. That guy is just a legend in Grand Line. But I'm a legend on THIS Island here." Drake said.
"Sogeking-san, Dragon-san, we have to move, I hear voices coming from the west…" Robin said, alerted.
"Damn it… it might be Luffy and the others…" Sogeking said. "Oi, Drake-san, where's a place to hide?"
"Why? What's wrong? And who's Luffy?" Drake asked, confused.
"We'll tell you later, but you have to tell us where you stay, there are people on the island who are very dangerous…" Sogeking said.
"Okay, follow me… quietly, those people might hear you…" Drake went ahead, while Robin and Sogeking followed him.
So Sogeking, Robin and Drake escaped as Wild Luffy checks on to see if Robin and Sogeking are still hanged on the tree, as he saw the binds were cut, Wild Luffy yelled: "OI!!!! KOSHI-SAN!!!! THEY HAVE ESCAPED!!!"
Koshi heard loud and clear. "So… you finally escaped…" Koshi smiled evilly.
Now that Sogeking and Robin escaped the clutches of Koshi and his pawns, Will they seek the help of the 'Island Legend'? Or they'll just suffer some more? Who knows? So await all that in Chapter 11!!
How's that?! Hahaha! The Ultimate Chapter 10 finally finished!! Hahaha!! Okay, just enjoy it and Read and Review if anything seems wrong or weird or something, okay? Thanks for reading!!
