Fragments of wood fly,
Tears fall,
And a roar of pain rings the air like a bell,
"Chouchou! Stay away! It's not safe!"
Chouchou howls in tears, using his little paws and head to push debris away from his owner's beloved store,
"Chouchou! Come back here!" The mayor demands,
"Chouchou, come on, more of those clowns are bound to come here." The mayor kneels, then attempts to pick up the grief stricken dog,
Blinded by tears Chouchou bites the mayor,
"Argh!" The mayor clutches his left hand as blood flows from his open wound,
Noticing the ruckus between the mayor and Chouchou, "Is something wrong sir?" Jaune asks,
"I am grateful to you and your friend for saving my life, but please leave."
"Leave? Why?"
"I am sorry for dragging all of you into this mess, please understand the situation and leave this town, it is dangerous here."
"If that was your store then we are sorry about it sir, we didn't mean it."
"Yes, I understand, can you please lend me your glove?"
"Of course sir."
"Thank you, now please gather your friends and leave, enough blood has been spilled."
The moment he finishes his sentence, a furry man crash next to them,
"Man, that furry man is tougher than he looks, now let's go back and kick their asses. Is everyone ok?"
"I'm ok. Zoro?"
"Still breathing."
"You just defeated Moji, one of the clown's-"
"Captain Buggy's third strongest, I must say, well done defeating him, but now I am your-"
"AAHHH! That man has a wheel for legs!"
"No you idiot, that's just a one wheel bicycle."
"One wheel bicycle? Come on Zoro that sounds stupi-"
Before Luffy can finish he leaps back, narrowly avoiding the sword trying to gut him, but with a twist of the wrist, the sword flies at Luffy's neck at breakneck speed,
Jaune and the mayor can do nothing but watch in horror as the sword slowly closes in on Luffy's neck,
Inches from his neck, Zoro's sword materialises and deflects it,
Instantaneously, the one wheel man then flips backward with his unicycle, striking Zoro's arm with it, thus preventing Zoro's second sword from gutting him,
Landing on his wheel, the man tries to backpedal to a safe distance with Zoro in pursuit,
Slashing, deflecting and feeling blood spilling from his wound, an out of breath Zoro relents, allowing the man to retreat,
Seeing his chance, the one wheel man begins hopping onto ledges of a building, once he ran out of ledges he uses his arms to scale the building until he reaches the roof,
To say the least Zoro was impressed,
"Pirate Hunter Zoro, I must say, you and your crew are causing quite the ruckus for my captain."
"Is your captain the clown with blue hair?"
"Captain Buggy yes."
"Is he coming here?"
"Why of course, why wouldn't he?"
"When will he be here?"
"For a defeated man bleeding to death, you sure are cocky."
"Until my dream is complete, I won't die to small fries like you and your captain."
"Captain Buggy will be pleased, when I present him your head."
"I'd like to you try."
The one wheel man digs his left hand into his purple coat and produces a handful of lavender pellets, he then tosses half of it towards Zoro,
Immediately, Zoro springs backward, breaking eye contact, to avoid the,
"Smoke? Pathetic."
Looking up, the one wheel man is nowhere to be seen,
From inside the smoke, half a handful of pellets come barrelling across the air towards Zoro,
The pellets then explode mid air, the smoke envelops Zoro and he can feel his eyes tearing up,
Even with tears in his eyes, Zoro can barely see a sword slicing the air in half going straight for his neck.
