I had a snowday from school today so I decided to finish up this chapter. Be happy.

Chapter 12: Smash in Some Sense

The whole town stopped what they were doing and stared at the strange man walked down the street towards the marine base. He wore all black, had a bandanna with eye slits cut out of them hiding his face and had three swords tied around his waste. He stopped his march directly in front of the marine base doors. Taking in a quick inhale the man shouted up towards the gates.

"I am here to talk on behalf of the Straw Hat Pirates!!" as soon as he yelled that message up the gates flew open and he was surrounded by at least thirty guns. All cocked and aimed, ready to fire at the slightest notice.

The man in black repeated himself "I am the reincarnation of Roronoa Zoro and I am here on the part of the Straw Hat Pirates to negotiate."

A chuckle came from the back of the marine gunmen. "And why would the World Government want to talk with a pack of filthy pirates? And shouldn't your captain be the one negotiating?" asked a fat old man as he stepped out in front of the crowd of gunman. Judging by the number of medals on his chest an the symbol on his shoulder, he was the commanding officer of the base "So where is he?"

The man chuckled a little before answering "He has other business to attend to." He then took a look at the nervous marines surrounding him and slightly unsheathed one of his swords "So am I to assume that you don't want to talk?"

"That would be correct. FIRE!" every man with a gun shot towards the man in the center but to their shock he had already unsheathed his swords and cut down every bullet around him. He then cracked his neck and said "My turn." He bent his knees and carefully angled his blades "Dragon Twister!" A blast of cool blue wind slammed into all the men who surrounded him and the men behind knocking them out cold.

Due to the fact their leader was knocked out the solders panicked and either attacked or ran away. Making the perfect distraction for me to swoop in and find our target.

I was waiting on the roof of a building not to far away watching as the madness unfolded. I placed my scarf around my mouth and replaced my ball cap with a classic straw hat, hopefully that would disguise me enough. "Here blondie, blondie, blondie. Here blondie." I said to my self as I inspected the crowd. It took a little bit but I finally found him in with the crowd that decided to stay and fight.

I stretched my arm out to the top of the base's wall and swung down to the battle. I landed nice and safely on top of the head of about five marines. "Oops sorry." And there went another part of the troops running in fear of my greatness. Still a little to many for my taste. I looked over to my right and blasted some of my haki knocking out another good chunk.

I heard Zeb scream something about taking away all his fun but I didn't really care. I looked around and saw our target still standing perfectly fine after being hit with my haki. He came dashing towards me fist raised and actually through a punch at me. A flipping punch!

Sanji was not suppose to using his hands to fight and the punch stunk beyond belief. So I caught it and tossed him on his ass "Is that all you got? Guess marines got pretty pathetic over the years."

He got back up in an instant and gave another sloppy shot towards my head. I dodged it again and swooped under his arm and smashed my fist into his ribs. He coughed as he tried to keep his footing. "Ooh, pretty tough." He better be if he's part of my crew.

When he tried to punch again I kicked him straight in the face and while he was falling back from the blow I grabbed him by the hair and slammed him into the ground. It was gentle but I still felt bad doing this to him and it need to be done.

I bent my head down to his ear and said "You're pathetic. I bet you can't even get a date." I was pretty sure that line would work, just not as much as it did. He twisted his back around and manged to get his foot to reach my face, making me let go. He jumped up from the ground and gave a few aerial kicks that I could barely dodge.

When he landed back on his feet his eyes instantly went on fire "I can get dates! And I bet I get more than you, Stupid Fucking Captain! You will never understand my happiness!" I couldn't help but smirk. We got Sanji back. Still can't believe Brice was right that Sanji need the sense bashed back into his head. Are all us Straw Hats that simple minded?

Okay, please don't answer that. I already know.

The moral of this story is that sometimes you need to beat you're friend's heads in so that learn their lesson. Okay wait that's horrible of me to say.
