It had taken them two days to reach the island where Abero and Shino were and they were ready to fight to get Luffy back.

They found a harbor and docked their boats and then they began following the directions on the note to Abero's house.

Nami clenched her fists, she was anxious to see Luffy again, it had only been a few days but seemed like an eternity to her. 'We're coming Luffy, hold on.'

Shino and Abero looked up when there was a knock at the door, "Come in."

The servant walked in and then bowed, "There are reports that Ace is here along with some other people who are most likely mugiwara's crew."

Nodding Abero thanked her and then dismissed her.

Turning towards Shino he grinned, "It's all going according to plan."

Shino shook his head, "Not completely, mugiwara's crew is with him."

Abero laughed, "I thought you were the one that said they'd be no problem."

Getting up from his chair Shino rolled his eyes, "Of course I did, I'm just saying that the plan is not being followed as it should. They won't be a problem but they will be an annoyance."

Also getting up Abero smiled, "I see what you mean Shino-san."

Walking towards the door Shino looked over his shoulder to Abero, "Shall we go and greet our guests?"

Abero followed behind, "Yes, let's."

Stopping in front of a large white house Nami looked down at the map, "This is where it leads, so this should be the place."

They all looked up when the door opened and two men stepped out, "You'd be right about that little miss."

Zoro pulled out his swords and Sanji got ready to charge, "Give us back Luffy."

Ace also prepared to fight by crouching down and bringing his arm in front of him.

Seeing them prepare to fight made Shino laugh, "Do you really think that you can beat the both of us, after all you couldn't beat Abero-san when he was just fighting you himself."

Gripping her weapon Nami scowled, "He wasn't fighting, only running."

Usopp now wearing his Sogeking costume nodded, "Yes and now it's all of us against you two, so give up."

Abero began to laugh, "Give up? You've got to be kidding me, we haven't even started yet."

Glancing behind him Shino grinned, "Yes, and why would we give up when we're the ones who hold all the cards, after all you came for mugiwara didn't you?"

Zoro glared up to where the two were standing, "Enough talk, either you give Luffy back or we take him by force."

This wiped the smiles off both Shino's and Abero's faces, "Very well then."

They both began to shimmer and then disappeared. The first to attack was Shino who brought out a pair of elbow blades and attacked Franky. Managing to bring his arm up in time to block, Franky threw a punch only to have Shino disappear again.

'Damnit, how are they so fast?' Looking around Franky couldn't see anything at all.

The next one to be attacked was Usopp. Instead of something sharp, Abero had a clubbed weapon that was weighted. Once Usopp was hit he went flying back and then finally skidded to a stop.

Sanji and Zoro were about to jump into the fight before Ace stopped them, "Don't attack them yet, just watch. Before they attack they always pause for a second, most likely because they need to slow down, and then they attack. That brief pause is when you attack."

Listening to what Ace had said they both watched and noticed that what Ace said was true.

Zoro glanced back at the door and saw Nami slip in. Knowing she'd take care of he attacked.

Pushing open the door Nami began to make her way through the halls. She quietly slipped passed guards and then began to search for the room Luffy was being held in.

As she was about to step around the corner she heard voices, so quickly stepping back she hid inside the cabinet that was on the wall. The voices came around the corner and then eventually disappeared altogether. She waited a couple of minutes to make sure they were gone and then quietly made her way out of the cabinet.

Peering around the corner she made sure it was safe and then continued down the hallway. After a few minutes Nami came to a large black door.

Putting her hand on it her eyes widened, 'Something tells me Luffy's in there.'

Deciding to follow what she felt, Nami placed her hand on the door handle and then pushed the door open. Stepping into the room she closed the door quietly behind her and then began to look around.

Spotting a door that had a tint of green to it, Nami made her way over to it. She tried to open it only to find it locked, 'Of course they wouldn't leave it open.'

Reaching into her hair she pulled out some pins. Bending down she began to pick the lock, 'Give me a minute Luffy and I'll be right there.'

Shino looked over to where Abero lay out cold. He'd been dealt a heavy kick by the blonde haired man, and he knew he himself wasn't fairing much better either. When the crew was together they were quite strong. 'It seems we weren't ready to face Hikan no Ace or Mugiwara's crew.'

Using his speed Shino shot over to Abero, picked him up and then left the battlefield.

Before Zoro could go after him he was held back by Ace, "Let's go get Luffy."

Zoro nodded and followed behind the other's into the house. They were all injured and tired but once they managed to catch them when they'd pause it was easier to fight.

The lock clicked open and Nami didn't hesitate to open the door and rush inside. Looking around she spotted Luffy on a bed in the corner of the room and quickly ran over to him. She kneeled beside him and placed her hand on his head, 'He doesn't have a fever and doesn't seem to be in pain, it looks like he's just sleeping.'

"Nami...?"

Jumping in surprise she removed her hand with a blush and looked him in the face, "Yeah Luffy, it's me."

Luffy smiled and then fell back asleep.

A few minutes later she heard voices calling her name and instantly recognized them as her nakama.

Standing up she made her way to the door and called out to let them know where she was "Minna! We're in here!"

They followed her voice to where she and Luffy were. They all filed into the room and went over to where Luffy was.

Zoro sighed, "It figures he'd sleep through all this."

Bending down Zoro picked Luffy up and put him on his back so he could carry him. He turned to the door and began to make his way out and back to the ship.

After Ace had made sure Luffy was alright he left and went back to his search for Blackbeard.

Chopper finished examining Luffy and then let him go up to the deck, "Remember to be careful Luffy, we don't know when those marks will disappear."

Nodding Luffy quickly hurried out of the room and back to the deck, it was so good to be out of there!

As he pushed the door he looked at the lines going up his arms. He knew they'd go away, that tall guy had said so but never said when. 1

Shrugging, Luffy ran out to go and fish with Usopp.

Finally finished! Don't worry there will most likely be a sequel after this, after all Luffy still has those marks which means no powers, but I don't know how long it will take me to write.
