Ann: Hey guys, it's me, Ann. Innocent had some stuff to take care so I'm kind of in charge. Hold on. *takes out a piece of paper* Here are the announcements that she gave me. She said that she is currently working on back stories of her OCs, which will take some time because she's having a writer's block. She also says that her mother is making her pretty busy so updates will be slow. One more thing, she thanks everyone who has been reading and reviewing for her story. That's all, enjoy the chapter!

An Unexpected Challenger?!
:ONEPIECE:
The three men stared the orange haired woman.
"A-a billion," Igaram coughed. "Ma, ma, maa~…"
"Weren't you out cold a while ago from drinking booze?" Zoro asked, sweat dropping.
"As if, how can I let my guard down in a place like this?" Nami replied. "A place where people welcome pirates? Wouldn't that hint out anything at all?"
"She has a point," Devin muttered as he thought back to it.
"So I only pretended to be drunk. I could drink a lot more if I wanted to."
"Whatever," the two male first mates mumbled. Nami noticed that Igaram was still in shock about her price and decided to say something.
"So, how about it?" Nami asked. "Can you guarantee a reward of a billion beri to us, Mr. Head-of-the-Royal-Guard? Remember that without us your precious princess will die."
'Such a witch,' Devin internally cried.
"I-I'm afraid I cannot guarantee such a number! I am only one soldier!" Igaram argued.
"Are you telling me that the princess is worth less than a billion beri?" Nami asked, making Igaram freeze. "Pay up."
"Talk about extortion," Zoro muttered.
"Is she usually like this?" Devin asked.
"You have no idea…"
"In that case," Igaram coughed, "I'm sure that if you safely bring the princess back to the kingdom, you can negotiate with her, and receive that much money!"
"So you want us to save her first?" Nami asked with a nervous smile.
"THERE IS NO TIME TO TALK! THE PRINCESS IS IN DANGER!" Igaram desperately yelled.
"Fine, we'll save your princess," Nami sighed. "Go get her, Devin and Zoro!
"WHAT?!" Devin yelled.
"WHY DO WE HAVE TO GO?!" Zoro screamed. "Why do we have to help you with your dirty money-grabbing schemes?!"
"Don't be dumb," she said. "The money may be mine alone, but a contract includes the whole crew."
"THAT LOGIC IS ONLY GOOD ENOUGH FOR LITTLE KIDS!" the male first mates snapped.
"Oh, come on! I'm just asking that you beat up a couple of bad guys."
"If you hadn't noticed, I hate being used by others!" Zoro yelled.
"We're nothing like Sanji!" Devin argued. During the three's 'little' argument, none of them noticed Luffy getting up, muttering about going to pee, and walking off.
"Oh, I get it now, Zoro," Nami smirked, focusinf her attention on Zoro. "You're only saying that because you don't think you can win."
"What did you say?! I dare you to say it again!" Zoro growled.
"You're only saying that because you don't think you can win."
"Oh, you did NOT just say that AGAIN!"
"Aren't you forgetting that you owe me money?" Nami sighed.
"What? I don't," Zoro retorted.
"Remember at Logue Town, I gave you a hundred thousand beri."
"And I gave it back to you since I got my swords for free."
"But I gave you the money at a 300% interest," Nami continued. "You still owe me two hundred thousand beri."
'Harsh,' Devin thought as he looked over at Zoro, who had a look of bewilderment.
"But you got your money back! Isn't that enough?!" Zoro asked.
"Nope," Nami bluntly said.
"What?!"
Nami gave a look of disappointment at Zoro. "Are you saying you can't keep a promise?" Devin could've sworn he heard a punch at someone's pride as he watched Zoro grit his teeth. "And Devin," Nami said, getting the orange haired man's attention, "what would Mika think if you left someone who was in need of help?" Devin's eye twitched, giving a look that obviously said 'How dare you bring the Mika card up'. "So if you do as I say; Zoro, we'll be even, and Devin, I won't tell Mika about what you wanted to avoid."
"I hate you so much," Devin growled before walking off.
"I will make sure you don't have a peaceful death," Zoro snarled before following the fishman karate user.
"I'm not going to have one anyway," Nami smirked. "I'd probably go to hell." She noticed a speck of white from the corner of her eye. "Don't even think about it, Luna." Luna froze, and hunched over seeing that her plan to go help Zoro and Devin failed. The little girl walked over to Nami.
"How come I can't go?" Luna whined.
"I'm pretty sure Sabo and Oscar would skin me alive if I let you do something that dangerous."
"Curse my uselessness," Igaram grunted, gaining the two girls' attention. "If only I was stronger, I could protect the princess."
"Hey, don't worry," Nami smiled to reassure the man, "Zoro has the strength of a monster."
"So does Devin," Luna followed.
"If anything were to happen to the princess," Igaram panted, "it would mean the end of our kingdom. She must stay alive!" Luna and Nami looked at Igaram, confused of what he was talking about.
:ONEPIECE:
As fast as her duck could run, Vivi tried to escape the three Baroque Works agents after her.
"There she is!"
"Faster, Carue!" Vivi ordered. "There's a boat docked behind the cactus rock!"
"Kyahahaha!" Ms. Valentine laughed.
"The prey is close by~," Mr. Pink clucked.
"Such a futile attempt," Mr. Five muttered.
Vivi keep going, and saw a familiar figure holding a log. " !"
"Go on!" Ms. Monday commanded. "Go get to the boat! I'll do my best to stop these guys!"
"But…"
Because we were defeated by those three pirates, we'd be punished for failing our mission anyway," Ms. Monday explained. "In that case, I rather go down helping a friend!" Vivi looked at her, surprised by her words, but yet relieved. "Now go!" Vivi nodded and had Carue run past Ms. Monday.
"Thank you!" Vivi called out.
"First Mr. Nine, and now Ms. Monday, too?" Mr. Five asked, rolling up his sleeve.
"Man, what a day to betray someone," Mr. Pink groaned.
"Kyahaha, what a joke," Ms. Valentine laughed.
Mr. Five ran forward towards Ms. Monday. "You disgrace the name of," he slammed his arm against her face, causing an explosion, "Baroque Works!" With that, Ms. Monday fell back, unconscious. Vivi growled in frustration as Mr. Five began explaining his ability. "I'm a bomb man that can make any part of my body explode. With this ability given to me by the Bomb Bomb Fruit, I have never failed at any mission." Mr. Five quickly took out a booger, ready to flick it at the princess. "You can't run from us. Nose Fancy Cannon!" He flicked his booger at Vivi with the intention to destroy her. But then, a flash of green appeared, and the booger was cut in half, causing two explosions at the sides.
"Mr. Bushido!" Vivi exclaimed.
"Ah, the road…," Ms. Valentine muttered, seeing rocks cover the road ahead.
"Who's he?" Mr. Five sneered.
Zoro was shaking in fury as Devin came beside him. "Did you just…?" Devin's voice died down so he didn't anger his friend anymore than he is.
"I CAN'T BELIEVE I HAD TO CUT THROUGH A FUCKING BOOGER!" Zoro raged.
"Damn it!" Vivi growled, taking out her weapon and went to attack Zoro. "Why did you have to come and block my way?!"
Of course, Zoro was able to block it with his sword. "Relax, we're here to save you."
"Save…me?"
:ONEPIECE:
"I'm gonna go wake up the Sabo and Ace," Luna told Nami before she walked off.
"So," Nami said, catching Igaram's attention, "what is Baroque Works?"
"It's a secret organization in which not a single member knows the boss's identity," Igaram began to explain. "Under his orders, we carry out tasks ranging from gathering intelligence, assassination, robbery, and bounty hunting."
"But why do they take orders from someone they don't even know about?" Nami asked.
"The final objective of Baroque Works," Igaram continued, "is the creation of an ideal nation. Those who brought success to our organization will be granted high-ranking positions in this ideal nation for the boss."
"I see…"
"The boss goes by the codename 'Mr. Zero'…the lower the ranking officer's is the higher their ranking will be in the ideal nation. But more importantly they stronger they'll be…! Especially the numbers five and lower, their abilities are…abnormal."
:ONEPIECE:
Luffy, still with a bouncy belly, was walking about. "Time to go back to sleep," he yawned. But then, something caught his eye. "What?!" he exclaimed.
:ONEPIECE:
Mr. Five, Mr. Pink, and Ms. Valentine stared at the two first mates, wondering why in the world they were helping the princess.
"You're two of three who defeated the low ranking agents, right?" Ms. Valentine asked, tilting her head.
"Why would people like you protect a princess?" Mr. Five asked.
"…We have circumstances," Zoro answered for himself and Devin.
"Well, you're in the way," Mr. Pink squawked.
"Well, since you two are in the way," Ms. Valentine continued, folding her umbrella and taking off her hat, "allow me to bury your faces to the ground."
"ZOOOOOORRRRRRRRROOOOOOOOOOO! DEEEEEVVVVVVVVIIIIIIIINNNNN!"
Everyone jumped at the sound of the loud voice calling out. All heads turned to see Luffy standing, his hat shadowing over his eyes.
"Ah, looks like captain's brother is awake," Devin said, relieved to know that he and will get help.
"Ah, Luffy, care to help out here?" Zoro asked with a smirk.
"I'LL NEVER FORGIVE YOU TWO! FIGHT ME!" Luffy suddenly yelled.
"WHAT?!"
To be continued…
