Chapter Fourteen: Kidnapped!

Luffy looked to the sky and stared hard. Only a few minutes ago the sky was purple and pink from the setting sun and cloudless but now it was totally black. To everyone's dismay, some sort of magical ingress opened up in the dark sky. And three familiar antagonists were ejaculated from it. Before long, they stood among the Stawhats.

"Good day!" Nobuhiro greeted, as he pulled down his hood. His siblings remained hooded. Luffy, Zoro, and Nami stood opposite to them, ready to make negotiations. Everyone else went inside to avoid any possible insanity from the dark sky. "We've come back for the girl."

Luffy could sense Zoro about to flip out on them, but he spoke up.

"Why do you need her so badly?" He asked. Nobuhiro smirked deviously.

"You don't need to know…" He replied in a strange almost demonic tone of voice. It seemed as if he was fixin' to glide his devilish self over to Bikki but Nami stopped him.

"What if we made a deal…would you stop harassing us?" she inquired. Nobu couldn't help but let his devious smirk creep up back onto his handsome face.

"What kind of deal?" He inquired in return. Zoro and Luffy did not like the sound of this. Nami had a smirk on to match Nobu's.

"If we gave you what you wanted…would you give us something in return? …Something of equal value?" She suggested. Nobu and Ryuu exchanged looks.

"Like…our family heirlooms?" Ryuu said in return.

"Yeah, something like that…money…" She smiled, belli signs in her eyes once again.

Ryuu pulled out a pale looking piece of parchment and scanned his eyes over it.

"Well, you can have it…and we'll take the girl. No harm done." Ryuunosuke said, handing Nami-san the parchment. She looked at it.

"Okay…" she said. Zoro and Luffy's jaws dropped.

"NAMI!" They yelled. She waved them off and led Arisa onto the ship to retrieve Bikki.

The three girls returned to the little meeting place and Ryuu was beaming with a wide grin.

"YAY, I can get…uh…ahem." He said, catching himself. Arisa gave him a look. Bikki was teary eyed of course, and before Nobuhiro tied her hands together so she won't start any mess, she glomped Zoro one last time and held on tight. She blubbered something into his ear and was whisked away by the netherworld siblings.

Luffy and Zoro turned to Nami with a look of despair and confusion. Luffy was more confused and Zoro was more disturbed and angry.

"You got a plan or something?" The green haired one asked bitterly. Nami still had belli signs in her eyes but then she went back to normal. "Yeah, we go get her after we retrieve the money. Easy as that. We've done it before…saving people."

There was a sigh of relieve expelled from both captain and first mate. But then Zoro seemed to take back that sigh.

"Wait…How in the hell are we going to follow them!?" He asked almost terrified.

Nami smiled evilly.

"Those dumbasses gave me a map straight to their little lair of evil."

Zoro let out another sigh of relief. He smiled feeling truly relieved by the navigator's words.

The three of them boarded the ship and went out to sea. Following Nami-san's directions, they reached the River Styx. The water was black and consisted of lost souls and all that death related nonsense that I can't name right now. The Going Merry vanished in blackness and ended up in a graying world with barely any sunlight, peeking over mountains of corpses.

It was a depressing sight, yet only truly affecting the more sensitive Strawhats who didn't hold in most of their emotion. Strangely and quite expediently, there was a huge dock practically waiting for the going merry.

The crew got together and decided who was going to go exploring and to save the young lass. Zoro was a given, Luffy too. Robin, Chopper and Nami decided to guard the ship. Usopp and Sanji decided to go. :D and the rescue was in action!

Short chappie! D:
