Chapter 14: Here Kitty, Kitty!

Zoro and Mina stared at the newly hypnotized fat pirate.

"So… should we take him on together?" asked Mina.

"Why?" asked Zoro.

"He can crush rocks without the hypnotism… how strong do you think he will be with it." Said Mina.

"As long as we can settle later." Said Zoro.

"Sure thing Zozo." Said Mina.

The crazed cat dressed man aimed an attack at Mina she blocked with her ribbon… she then kicked him in the shin.

"Damn it!" yelled Mina, "He's not responding to pain! I need some help!"

Zoro managed to jump and slash him… which did very little except for pushing him off her.

"What the hell were you trying to do!" yelled Zoro.

"It's one of my moves. Usually they double over in pain when I kick them in the shin." Said Mina gritting her teeth, "I wasn't sure if would work but thanks anyways for helping me."

That's when Butchie tied to crush them jumping into the air, both managed to dodge though.

"Damn it!" muttered Nina from the sidelines, she looked at Kuro then at Luffy.

"I'm going to go wake up Luffy! It's the only way!" said Nina.

She got up but gritted her teeth in pain when stood on her ankle, "Are you sure you can walk on it, I think I'll be able to do it." Said Nami.

"You'll only get hurt. I won't." said Nina who took a breath and began to think, "Okay if I just turn my ankle in flowers then maybe."

Nina's ankle the one she injured turn to flower petals. Where they turned to flower there no long was any pain.

"Okay I'm ready to go! I'm all set to take any hits and I'm going to help him!" she thought.

Nina jumped down from the ledge, and ran over to wake up Luffy.

"How am I supposed to wake up a rubber man." She thought.

She ran towards Luffy just Jango threw his ring at her trying to stop her… this seemed to stop everything involving the fight.

"Watch out that a chakram!" yelled Usopp.

Nina didn't care that's when she got an idea, she grabbed Luffy's head and began to repeatedly slap him in the face, "Come on Luffy! Wake up!" she yelled.

This of course woke up Luffy, "What are you doing!" he shouted, he managed to out from under the figurehead.

That's when the chakram hit Nina, she was high alert the weapon passed tough her hitting Luffy… well sort of, Luffy caught it in his mouth, though it did cut the side of his mouth, Luffy managed to get out of his mouth.

"Oh Luffy, I'm very sorry!" cried Nina.

"Why did you do that?" asked Luffy staring at Nina.

Nina's eye began to twitch and she yelled out "Because we're supposed to be fighting right now!" she yelled pointing at the fight.

"Oh right!" said Luffy almost as if he forgot it.

"You idiot…" she muttered.

"At least he's awake." Said Zoro with a smirk.

"Nina did something, this fight is getting more interesting by the second." Said Mina with a smirk.

"You have three minutes." Said Kuro looking at his watch.

"That's impossible! It doesn't seem like Jango and Butchie can kill those three in three minutes!" yelled one of the pirates.

"Butchie! There's no time to think, take out take out the strong girl and I take out the guy in the Straw Hat!" yelled Jango.

However before anything else can happen thing quickly changed… when Kaya showed up.

"Klahadore!" she yelled out.

"Oh man what a twist… I just wash I had a bowl of popcorn with me…" sighed Mina.

"You're so weird." Said Zoro.

"Merry… Merry told me everything!" cried Kaya.

"He survived, I though I killed." Said Kuro.

"DUN! DUN! DUN!" sang Mina.

"Why are we teaming up again?" asked Zoro.

"Because we have to… because we're crewmates with the same goal." Said Mina sticking her tongue out.

Everyone turned back to Kaya while Usopp and Kaya talked in a dramatic (and according to Mina, a little romantic) tone. It was then that Kaya offered a deal with Kuro… that she would give him her fortune and leave… Usopp and the twins knew something was off. The twins looked at each and nodded as a silent agreement not to say anything. It didn't help when he said that what he needed was peace of mind… not money.

"Don't you dare waste your breath!" yelled Usopp, "He's not the man you knew!"

Kaya bit her bottom lip and took out a pistol and pointed it at Kuro. However he used her feelings to make her drop it by bringing up all the good times they had together… and saying how much he despised it.

"Kuro!" yelled Usopp as he aimed a punch to him.

"That reminds me…" said Kuro disappeared to behind Usopp.

Before Kuro could exact his revenge Luffy punched him in the face causing almost everyone else to gasp.

"How did you do that!" yelled one of the pirates.

"All right Luffy!" cheered Mina.

"Now!" yelled a voice.

That's when the three Usopp's Pirates all attacked Kuro who was still down, with Pepper hitting him with a baseball bat, Onion with a shovel and Carrot with a frying pan.

"What are you doing!" yelled Usopp.

Usopp began to fight with his men over why he didn't tell them… just then Kuro up and struck Usopp.

"That smarted a bit, you have an usual ability." Said Kuro, "You have eaten a Devil Fruit. Same with that girl you couldn't hit."

"That's right! I'm a Gum Gum Man!" said Luffy with a big grin.

Nina blushed looked like she wanted to disappear.

"Poor Nina." Sighed Nami.

"Don't mind my sister! She's not much of fighter even if she does have a Devil Fruit power!" said Mina.

"Either way, I'm going to kill that Gum Gum Man." Said Kuro, "Jango! Kill Ms Kaya and the annoying little pups, they're a nuisance."

"Yes, Captain!" said Jango.

Both Zoro and Mina blocked his path.

"You shall not pass!" said Zoro.

"That's right you Pedo! You're passing!" said Mina.

"Butchie!" ordered Jango.

That's when Butchie jumped into the air and came crashing down destroying much of the ground around them, Mina and Zoro did their best to avoid the flying rocks, Butchie then aimed an attack at Zoro, he managed to block. Mina grabbed on his arms with her ribbon then threw him a fairly short distance but just enough to get him off Zoro.

"Thanks…" muttered Zoro even though he knew that he could have easily gotten rid of him.

"You're welcome!" said Mina, "This calls for a fight song!"

"A what?" asked Zoro.

Mina used her ribbon to grab her backpack, she took out her iPod and custom iPod house. She turned both on and put a song in loop, the song "This Trinity's going to War" from Bender's Big Score, then placed the device in a safe spot, yet in a spot where it could be still heard.

"Mina…" sighed Nina shaking her head.

"What's it's a catchy song." Said Mina with a shrug.

Nina sweat dropped…

That's when Usopp ordered his "men" to protect Kaya with their lives. The three boys lead her to the forest, Jango was going to follow them when Usopp used his sling shot to get him in the back while it allowed them get away for a bit, Jango managed to get up and follow them.

"You know it's useless!" said Kuro, "You know how frail that girl's body is. You have to get up this slope to help them. Just you try to help them."

"Damn it…" muttered Usopp.

"Usopp, let us handle it." Said Luffy, Zoro and Mina.

Usopp looked at the three and knew they could handle it… even if it didn't look like they would win right now… he somehow knew these will win.

Next Time: The fight continues, will Zoro and Mina defeat the hypnotized Butchie? Can Luffy beat Kuro? Will Nami and Nina steal the Cat's treasure? Find out next time!
