Chapter Nine
Once Buggy's split body hits the ground, Zolo starts sheathing his sword. The men start out chuckling then they go all out laughing. I sigh. (Luffy's going to get mad.)
"Zolo get me out of here." Luffy tells Zolo. The said person, walks up to the cage and looks at it.
"We can't open this without a key. The bars are too thick for me to cut through." The pirates continue laughing. "Very funny. Now hand over the keys to the cage before I get cranky." I see something move behind Zolo and before I can even move, he gets stabbed from behind. He was stabbed by a floating hand. Luffy and Nami were shouting out in terror for Zolo and the floating hand. The hand pulls the knife out and Zolo starts breathing heavily. The dismembered body of Buggy stands up and shouts out 'the chop-chop fruit'. I slapped my forehead. (I already mentioned the devil fruit. You can't kill him by trying to cut him.) Buggy then goes on to explain the exact same thing I had just said. I look over to Luffy. I can see him shaking in rage. He then shouts at Buggy.
"Stabbing someone in the back. That's fighting dirty. You got that big nose?" The buggy pirates all gasp. Buggy gets furious at Luffy. Nami yells at Luffy calling him a fool for saying that. Buggy then attacks with the knife he got Zolo with. Zolo and Nami think Luffy got hit. Luffy raises his head and shows that he caught it with his teeth. The knife breaks.
"I swear I am going to clobber you." Buggy starts laughing then says that Luffy is about to die. Luffy retorts back and says he not. Luffy then shouts at Zolo to run. Zolo looks at Luffy like he is crazy.
"What? I'm not going anywhere. We are trying to save you. They'll kill you the moment we go!" Zolo then sees Luffy smiles. He then smiles himself. "Gotcha." I smirk. (I guess I better move.) Zolo then starts running. Buggy attempts to stop him from leaving but Zolo deflects his attacks. Zolo reaches the big canon and flips it so it is pointing at the buggy pirates. The said pirates, including the captain, start freaking out. Zolo then yells at Nami to light the fuse, which she does. I teleport to the top of the canon's barrel just as it fires. (I get to see people get hit with a canon ball. Hehehe.) The whole back of the Mayor's house blows up. I look back to our group. Zolo is hunched over and holding his wound.
"Now's our chance." Zolo then looks to Nami. "Who're you, anyway?" She looks back and responds.
"I'm a thief." Luffy starts grinning.
"Actually she's our new navigator." I smile in relief. (At least he listened to Zolo and got a navigator.)
"What are you talking about? And shouldn't you be trying to get out of the cage?"
"Oh yeah you maybe right." Zolo smirks then speaks.
"No problem. You just stay in the cage."
" You're not going anywhere!" I snap my head to the clearing smoke to see Buggy coming out coughing. I sigh. (I was hoping that he would have died from that. Guess I shouldn't have gotten my hopes up. Oh well.) I look back as Zolo lifts the heavy metal cage onto his shoulder. blood starts gushing from the wound.
"Zolo don't do this. Your guts'll squirt out." Luffy says from the cage. Zolo yells back.
"Then I'll shove them back in." I sweat drop. (The one pushing guts back will probably be me.) Nami becomes pale and asks Zolo.
"How can you do this?"
"I do things my own way. So don't give me any lip about it!" (He certainly does.) I roll my eyes. We then leave as the smoke clears. I can hear Buggy shouting at his men to find us. We get about three houses down when Zolo had to stop he put the cage down. He sat on the roof beside the cage. Luffy was banging against the cage attempting to get out of it. Zolo sighs.
"We're in a fine mess, and now we gotta finish what we started." I chuckle.
"You are very correct my green haired friend." They both quickly looked to where I was standing behind them at the very top of the roof.
"How long have been here?" Zolo yells at me.
"I have been here the whole time. Even before you got there to rescue Luffy, Zolo."
"Why didn't you get him out before?" I shrug.
"There was no need for me. If Luffy wanted my help he would have asked." Luffy nods his head.
"That's right, Zolo. Bat does what he wants as long as he makes sure none of us dies. I trust him to intervene when one of the crewmen are really going to die."
"Of course that was the deal we made and I will abide by it."
