Straw Hats Vs Baroque Works: The Battle for Alabasta Began!
The stare down between Luffy and Crocodile continue as Robin look on from the cliff side far enough away that she wouldn't get caught up in the battle but still had a nice view of the battle to come and several feet from her was her transportation turtle Banchi, "Well now Straw Hat Luffy, will you win and be buried under the sand like so many others before for you." Robin spoke looking at the boy who dare to face down a Shichibukai.
"At the very least let me watch this fight to see just what your made of." Robin said to herself, Luffy continue his stare down with Crocodile, at the moment he wanted to just blast out and attack the guy but he remember what happen when Naruto first face him as well as what Naruto taught him along time ago.
"Will I down have much to go on, guess I'll just attack and see what happens." Luffy mutter kneeling down then launch himself at Crocodile, "Gumu-gumu No... PISTOL!" Luffy shouted slamming his fist right into the Shichibukai's face, only for it to turn into sand and pass right through him causing Luffy to land on the other side.
"I pass right through him, just like Naruto. How am I suppose to beat this guy when all my attacks can't hurt him?" Luffy mumble annoyed by this, suddenly a hour glass when throw to his feet.
"Three minutes, I'll give you three minutes, after that I won't have time to play with you anymore." Crocodile said with a bore a expression, "Any problems?" he ask with a raise eye brow.
"Nope fine by me." Luffy replied cocking his arm back while pouting on the inside, (Three minutes or not I still got to find away to beat this guy... man this sucks, why do people have to have weird body's that can't be hurt, I all want to do is pound the guy's face into the ground with my fist!) Luffy cried in his head some how forgetting his body was weird as well, "Let's try this again, Gumu-Gumu No... PISTOL!" Luffy yell shooting his fist at Crocodile but he dodge to the Left before turning to sand and flying toward him with his golden hook out aim for Luffy's neck.
"Whoa!" Luffy gasp falling back to let it fly over him, this lead Crocodile to land with his back to Luffy, "Gumu-Gumu No... STAMP!" Luffy shouted stomping his foot into Crocodile's back... which turn into sand once again much to his annoyance.
"UGH! How am I suppose to hurt this guy!" Luffy cried as Crocodile's body reform and he turn to luffy with a smug smirk, "Let me tell you one thing, Straw Hat Luffy. No matter how much you struggle you will never ever be able to touch me." Crocodile stated and normally Luffy would have kept on attacking but remember what Naruto said about needing to find a way around troublesome enemy abilitys first.
"Wait Naruto! Was there anything in his fight that can help me?" Luffy wonder thinking back to the short duel Naruto had with Crocodile but then pouted, "Nah, Naruto use that weird Haki stuff to hurt him and... wait there was something odd that happen at the end..." Luffy mutter.
Flashback
"Sables... PESADO!" Crocodile shouted, Luffy from in side the cage watch as the scared man hurling the attack it at his opponent, Naruto dash backwards as the attack touch door causing a massive shock wave upon impact on the floor! Naruto had to shield himself as the wind made from the attack still cut into him like blades.
"Man this is unfair, I want to fight too!" Luffy mumble as Crocodile land back down and Naruto shot forward rearing his right fist back, seeing him coming Crocodile prepare to turn back into sand and dodge out of the way but then he stop moving for a moment and side step to the right just a little leaving himself open causing Luffy to blink in confusion, "IRON FIST OF THE CRIMSON DEMON!" Naruto's fist slam right into Crocodile's face knocking into the air and sending him crashing into the glass walls of the undersea walk way before landing on the floor that was connecting the VIP room to the casino.
"What the hell, he should have been able to dodge an attack like that right!?" Luffy heard Naruto mutter, "Yeah he should have, what happen?" Luffy wonder but he soon had bigger things to worry about.
Flashback
"Yeah, back than, he taken a punch to the face rather then getting out of the way." Luffy whisper thinking back to the fight between the Shichibukai and his Treasure hunter, (Was he just too slow or... I wonder.) Luffy thought grabbing the small barrow around his neck.
"What the matter Straw hat, already two minutes have pass, don't tell me you've already given up?" Crocodile wonder watching the boy who was kneeling down with his back turn to him, unlike most he saw no reason to take the opening since there was no way Straw Hat could win against him.
"You should at least use the last minute of your life too-" Crocodile pause when Luffy stood up and turn his head to him, "Now let's see what happens." Luffy said and Crocodile raise an eye brow even more so when Luffy hunch down and then rocketed into the air, "Gumu-Gumu No..." Robin from her viewing place frown at the boy as he ready his attack.
"The fool, doesn't he understand that normal attacks won't work?" Robin mutter "PISTOL" Luffy shouted sending fist down into Crocodile who didn't bother moving but kept a bore expression all 'BAH!' until the attack actually hit him in the jaw and smashing him head first into the ground!
"What!?" Robin shierk in a very un-Robin like moment of shock as Luffy landed back on the ground, "I knew it! Back in the holding room you had us in, the reason you didn't dodge Naruto's last attack wasn't because you were slow but because if you tried to dodge you'd have been hit by the water coming from the cracks in the glass!" Luffy shouted with a large grin as Crocodile slowly got back to his feet but his head was spinning (I really got to thank Toto for the water!) Luffy thought knowing he'd be screwed without it. Robin was speechless, (He notice something so small!?) Robin thought stun but broke out of it when Luffy rush up to Crocodile who was still waving back and front from the jaw shot.
"Gumu-Gumu No... RIFLE!" Crocodile only had enough time to gasp as Luffy's twisted and stretched out arm came flying at him and hit him right in the gut with the same power of a cannon blasting the sand power Shichibukai off into the sky.
"Unbelievable, just what is that boy." Robin said in awe having never seen anyone do such a thing to Crocodile before, (Wait a moment!) Robins eye's widen when see realized that Straw Hat's attack was so strong that it had actually sent Crocodile flying quit a ways away... and the boy was giving chase!
"Banchi!" Robin yelled feeling that she couldn't miss a single moment of this fight turtle, having flow nearly a mile away Crocodile landed in on the sandy ground in a painful manner coughing up blood.
"Damn that brat! I never thought he be able to tell my weak point from something so small!" Crocodile growl getting to his feet and glad his head had stop spinning.
"That damn Vivi, she really found a trouble some bunch to help her." Crocodile grunted then tense when Luffy landed right in front of him with a shit eating grin on his face.
"Found ya Croc man and it been three minutes, so is it time to stop playing around?" Luffy ask with a smug expression, the glare and tick mark on Crocodile face said he clearly plan to change that.
The room appeared dark with shades of black getting more and more dense as Zoro and Pell looked further down the room of the warehouse. Their eyes keen on searching for the bombers that plan to destroy the whole city. The steps they take walking down were slowly to avoid the sound of their feet being heard. They also listened, to the silence waiting for a moment of noise to give off their enemy's location. The ragged-down building had crates and boxes left in the hallways giving plenty of cover.
"Zoro-san..." Pell call pointing ahead of him, this building hadn't been used in years so the floors were cover in a layer of sandy dust which turn out to be good for then since it cause those of the Shin no Sekai to leave footprints.
"It look like they went to the second floor, let's quietly make our way to them and take them by surprise." Pell said changing into his full hawk state and flew up a little and grab Zoro by his claws before flying up to the next floor.
An hour later else where
Back with the main group of Straw Hats, everyone was on edge after leaving Luffy behind and was trying to handle it in their own way, the moving Crab named Scissors carried the others off to safety while Luffy fought Crocodile, but only got as far as the Sandora River. Despite being unused to water, he was able to get them halfway across the river before sinking when they used 'ero power or pervert power' after Nami revealed to him her dancer's outfit when it was learned that Scissors apparently likes dancing girls. Naruto got a massive headache from that one.
"Now this is humiliating..." Usopp mutter trying to keep the water from splashing in his face.
"Yes it is... anyone ever say anything about this again, I'll gut em!" Sanji added shielding his face like Usopp from the water, "Quit complaining you two, it not much better up here." Nami shouted, over the roar of the wind as Naruto ran at top speed, with no ride left for them and knowing it was to danger too swim Naruto now had to 'carry' everyone!
"I don't know if anyone of you have the right to complain seeing as I'm the one doing all the leg work here!" Naruto roar from the huge load he was carrying, Nami and Vivi were both on his back with their legs wrapped around his waist, Sanji was being carrying under his left arm and Usopp under his right while Chopper had manage to fit into the front of Naruto's coat.
"I know this is a.. hand full, but please hang in there Naruto-san." Vivi said looking over the left side of his shoulder's, "Yeah we're be there soon and- WHAT THE HELL IS THAT!" Nami cried as a what look like a large Catfish foring Naruto to stop in his tracks.
"A sandora Ratecat fish! Named because it extremely rare!" Vivi gasp.
"Who cares about that!?" Usopp shouted as another thought hit her,
"Oh yeah, it also loves to eat humans!" that cause everyone to scream!
"You should have lead with that!" Usopp cried.
"Naruto! Hurry up and kill that thing!" Nami shouted as he sweat drop at the monster size fish.
"I can't fight this thing while carry all of your dead weight asses!" Naruto replied backing away as the Sandora got ready to attack.
"Then drop us! Chopper's the only that can't swim and I can hold on to him while you deal with that thing! So just-" 'BAKOW!' Sanji was cut off when what look like turtles mix with seals attack and knock out the Sandora!
"It just one thing after another, what are we dealing with now!?" Nami cried however,the things that defeated the fish seem to turn to them and gave the remainder of the straw Hat Crew a thumbs up, "Thank god! We got save by the Kung-Fu Dugongs we met before!" Usopp shouted in joy causing Naruto and Nami to look at him as if he lost his mind. The now named Dugongs brought them on the back of the fish to the other side of the river before leaving.
"Tell me again, how did we make friends with those Dugongs?" Naruto ask ringing out his coat, "Yeah I'd like to know the answer to that myself." Nami added just as confuse as Naruto on the matter as well.
"Ah right, you two were not here for that, well if you must know." Usopp begin, "We ran into them when we first landed, they wanted to fight so I step in and gave them a whopping then was barely defeated. Then Luffy step up and finish them off." Usopp said with a proud smirk as Nami and Naruto just stare at him before turning to Sanji for the real story.
"In other words, he tried to fight them and got his ass kicked in one second flat, Luffy then beat the crap out of them and now they follow him." Usopp sweat drop with tears running down his face at Sanji telling them the truth and stealing the spot light from him.
"Also, it seem these things got some kind of code of honor states that once they are defeated, a Dugong must become the follower of the one who defeated them... henceforth Luffy." Sanji explained lighting up a cigarette "Ah that make sense." Nami said now understanding what was going on, Naruto on the other hand just sweat drop at the two.
"How does that make any form of sense what so ever?" Naruto mutter to himself, he had for the most part already gotten use to the randomness that ran rampant in the crew but there were still some level of oddness from the group he was with in that got to him.
"I would think you've been in our crew long enough that your use to this already." Nami commented and Naruto huff before looking away.
"Never mind, 'sigh' anyway, it take us three hours to get here. So how are we doing on time Vivi?" Naruto ask.
"Not good, we-" 'BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!' "What the hell!" was the collected shout of everyone there as a blast unlike anything they ever seen before went off in to the sky, even though it was so far away the shock wave was still blowing waves of sand past them!
"What the hell was that!" Sanji scream as he along with everyone else cover their faces from the sand being blown towards them.
"It looks like a huge bomb just went off somewhere near Rainbase! But what on earth could make such a blast that it would reach us all the way out here!?" Vivi cried as the others did the're best to shield themselves from the sand.
"What the fuck just happened? Did Crocodile finally fill ship and destroy the Rainbase?!" Naruto growl. but then what look like a small dust coming their way.
"Hang on guys we got incoming!" Naruto shouted causing everyone to tense.
"Look at that!" Nami cried out.
"Is it the enemy?! OH NO! THEY FOUND US ALREADY!" Usopp shrieked.
"Wait. I know that sound." Vivi said as the dust cleared and showed Carue and a group of six other ducks following him. "Carue! The Super Sonic Duck Squad!" she said. She explained who they were to the other crewmembers before they all somehow boarded them and Eyelash before heading off to Alubarna.
"That came from Rainbase...?" Miss all Sunday whisper using her Hat to cover her eye's, (Something bad happen back there.) she note after seeing the massive explosion go off in the sky, it was large enough to cover the entire city from above.
"If that had been ground level, Rainbase would be long gone... what could have cause such a blast. It unreal!" Robin whisper in terror, mean down below Crocodile look on with his own eyes widen in shock.
"Well... that was something I guess." He mutter, 'cough' 'cough' before coughing up blood, his clothing were tattered at places and he was sure he had a few broken ribs, looking at the body that hung in the air to his left glare back at him he slightly smirked.
So... Straw Hat lost huh? But Crocodile didn't win with out taking a few hard hits." Miss all Sunday noted.
"What do you think it was...? Well that something I would ask you but your already unable to talk." Crocodile stated.
"I must commend you on your strength." Crocodile said. "But, it seems that it has done nothing to keep you alive. You lose, Straw Hat." Crocodile said. Luffy just hung there on Crocodile's hook before his hands suddenly flew up and grabbed Crocodile's hook. "What?!" he cried out before Luffy brought his foot up and slammed it backwards into Crocodile's stomach, causing Crocodile to take a few steps back as Luffy pulled himself off of his hook. Crocodile stared back in shock, Luffy had long since use up the little bit of water he had on his person yet he still hit some him.
"This brat... Looks like he can use Haki a little." Crocodile said as Luffy wobble on his feet a little, (But unlike that blond haired punk he not fully able to use it in combat.) he thought as Luffy steady himself and glared back at Crocodile, (Damnit, I still can't use it how I want!) Luffy growled in his head as he glared hatefully at the Shichibukai.
Flashback
"OWWWWW!" Luffy cried as Naruto karate chopped him in the head, "Sanji said he would be finish making dininer in a hour, so wait till then and quit trying to sneak away my Rice crackers!" Naruto shouted holding the bag of rice crackers out of his reach as he push Luffy back by the face.
"But I only wanted one!" Luffy said trying to reach the food, "That what you said after the last three I gave you!" Naruto scream back .
"If you like them so much you should have asked the had doctor when we were getting Nami fix now back off! UZUMAKI CHOP!" Naruto shouted chopping Luffy on the head again causing another lump to form, this whole matter had been taking place outside on the deck of the Going Merry. Zoro who was leaning back on the banister trying to get some sleep stared on.
"Hey Naruto?" Zoro called bring the whiskered face blonds attention to him, "Yo?" said eye Luffy warily as Luffy kept his stare look on his package of Rice Crackers.
"I've been wondering this for a while now but how are you able to harm Luffy so easily?" Zoro asked catching Nami and Vivi's attention as they had been sitting down at a lawn table chatting.
"That a good question, I've been wondering that myself." Nami said as Vivi blink at here in confusion, "But you guys all seem to be able to do it just fine as well." Vivi pointed out.
"That because Zoro, Sanji, and Usopp have to use a great deal of force other wise anything we do would just bounce off him. As for me, call it experience!" Nami grinned with a thumbs up, Naruto rolled his eyes at Nami, (Stupid brat, she still haven't figure it out yet, huh.) Naruto thought then sigh.
"It because I use Haki, have any of you heard of that before?" Naruto asked getting head shakes from everyone, "Crap, I guess I'd better try to explain it, man this is going to be a pain." Naruto mutter then take a deep breath before speaking.
"Okay to began with, the best to to start is by saying Haki is a mysterious power that is found in every living being in the world. Now It's not that different from the normal senses." Naruto began.
" Now, broadly speaking, there are two types of Haki available to everyone, Kenbunshoku and Busoshoku."
"Kenbunshoku?" Zoro said with a questioning tone.
"And Busoshoku?" Nami asked with a raised eye brow.
"Yep, the one I use is Busoshoku which is basically a spirit armor to defend against attacks or to make my own attacks more powerful." Naruto stated holding his hand up, everyone even Vivi, Nami, Usopp and Chopper could feel the power flowing off it.
"Busoshoku sound awesome...!" Usopp exclaimed, Naruto grinned then reach out and pinched Luffy's cheek causing him to yep in pain, "It hurts!" Luffy cried as Naruto kept his hold on Luffy's cheek.
"It also useful when fighting Devil Fruit users as it can harm them no matter what their power is." Naruto stated pulling Luffys cheeks slightly harder to make him whine more before letting him go, rubbing his cheek Luffy look up at the tall blond and grinned.
"Wow that cool! Hey is that how you fought against Smoker? Teach me how to use Haki!" Luffy exclaimed as the other look on.
"Yeah if you can teach me as well that would really help in our fight against Crocodile." Vivi added Naruto sigh as he could see everyone was eager to make the same request, even Zoro seem interested.
"Sorry to break it to ya guys but I'm one of the few who were lucky enough to be born with it already awaken, In my case I just had to learn how to control it." Naruto told them.
"I haven't the slightest idea how to teach someone else how to awake their own Haki." Naruto said getting groans, he hated having to lie to them, but he was telling the truth when he said he hadn't a clue as to how a normal person awakens their own Haki since he was from another world he could use Haki 'or Chakra as it was call back home' since he was home.
"So their are a few who can be born with it already awaken but everyone else had to do so own their own at some point in their lives?" Zoro said and Naruto nodded.
"Yep! However, most people either do not notice it, notice but fail to awaken it, or in the rare but not unheard of cases, awaken it but never realize they awaken it." Naruto said Luffy frowned at his words but then grinned his carefree grin.
"So I have to awaken it on my own huh, alright! I'll memorize the sensation I get when ever you hit me and use it to awaken my own Haki!" Luffy exclaimed, Naruto sweat drop at the boys declaration, (I'm not sure that how it work.) Naruto, it made some form of logic but there was no where it was that ease right? Naruto pause as Luffy was now looking at him with a serious expression.
"What...?" Naruto slightly nervous at seeing the rare seen serious Luffy, "Before I began I got just some thing to say." Luffy mutter and Naruto take a step back now a little scared.
"Okay, and that is?" Naruto asked.
"GIMME ANOTHER RICE CRACKER!" Luffy shouted jumping at Naruto who pop at blood vessel, "I TOLD YOU TO CUT IT OUT! UZUMAKI CHOP!"
Flashback
Since then Luffy has been trying to get his Haki working but it haven't been ease, even now he was surprise he'd manage that little bit just now. He'd been going off of trying to find that same sensation he felt when ever Naruto hit him, he was even more willing to do so when he learn that his gramps was using the same thing to by pass his rubber body.
"It doesn't look like you can carry on much longer Straw Hat." Crocodile stated seeing the boy shakily standing.
"I must admit, you've given me quite a fight, I could use a man like you, any chance you will join me, You can be my new Mr.0, What do ya say?" Crocodile asked only for Luffy to stick his tongue out childishly causing Crocodile to chuckle.
"Oh will, I had to try." "GAH!?" Luffy gasped in surprised in his feet and legs began to sink. "This is the end Straw Hat You won't come back." Crocodile said baring Luffy in in the sand as he struggle weakly.
"Farewell Straw Hat, this is the price you pay for fighting someone else's battle." Crocodile said emotionless as Luffy disappeared into the sand, looking on as the boy vanish he sigh before grunting in pain.
"That brat really gave me a few good shots." Crocodile mutter feeling his bruised rips, "Still I'd better head back and see what cause that blasted." with that Crocodile disappear in a gust of sand. Miss All Sunday who had been watching the whole thing saw Crocodile leave and sigh slowly waking her way down to what was the battle ground of a Rockie trying to fight a Shichibukai.
"Monkey D Luffy... D Luffy..." She whispered reaching the point that the young man was buried alive at, stopping and raising her hand in the air she flick it causing the boy to burst up out of the sand held up by several of her arms.
"He was set down away from the quicksand pit with a bit of labored breathing as he looked over at a familiar face.
"Thank you." he said when he saw Robin. Robin only looked down at him as he lay there, covered in blood.
"Why do you fight? You with the name of 'D'." she asked.
"D?" Luffy asked, never truly understanding what she was asking.
"Even though it was only once you actually hurt Crocodile without water." she said.
"Why do you fight? What is your intention?''she whispered before sighing.
"What am I doing, after that huge explosion I'm worried about what happened at Rainbase." Robin spoke but then look back down to find Luffy grabbing her arm as his hat pop out of the sand.
"I need meat!" he said as blood still came out of him, Robin only smiled as she threw Luffy's hat onto his chest.
"Very well I'll take you to a nearby Diner but from there you'll have to find your own way to Alubarna." Robin said as she signal for her giant travel Turtle to come pick her up.
Meanwhile, everyone was now heading towards Alubarna, where Baroque Works were lying in wait to stop Vivi and the Straw Hats. The Mr. 1 pair, Mr. 2, and the Mr. 4 pair were all waiting for Vivi to arrive to do away with her. The Officer Agents were waiting on a cluster of rocks beside the west gate and were looking off in the direction that the Straw Hats should be coming from.
"Hey! Look over there!" Mr. 2 called out as he stood apart from the others and farced south-east with his hand over his eyes so he could see off in a distance. "The Rebel Army's approaching! There are so many of them! The Princess is such a little idiot to think she could stop them. But then… is the little idiot even coming? Now will she show up? Or will she not? Or will she? Or will she not? THE OUTCOME IS VAGUE!" The Okama was happy to once again shout his favorite word.
"WHAT? WHAT? WHAT? WHAT?" Ms. Merry Christmas demanded while stamping her foot like an impatient child. "Are we sure about this? Shouldn't we be sure about this? The Princess and the pirates are really coming right? At this rate the Rebel Army's gonna beat them here! I thought those idiots wanted to stop the fighting! Shouldn't they at least try to be on time?"
"They probably just can't make it in time." Ms. Double Finger reasoned as she stood in front of a rock casually smoking a long pipe. Mr. 1 was silently sitting on top of the rock behind her. "They were in Rain Base for quit a while."
"WHAT? YOU SERIOUS?" Ms. Merry Christmas snapped.
"So if the get fighting starts first," Mr. 2 suggested. "What are we supposed to dooooo?"
"We don't have to dooooo anything," Ms. Double Finger replied somewhat mockingly. "If the battle starts not even the Princess can do anything about it!"
"All we have to do is kill the ones we're told to kill. Can't Okamas even understand that much?" Mr.1 said in his dry humor tone.
"I THINK YOU WANT A NICE BIG TASTE OF MY OKAMA KEMPO! HMMMM!?" Mr. 2 growled as he got in a fighting stance.
"Oh please just drop it." Ms. Double Finger interrupted, once again playing peacemaker between her partner and the irrational Mr. 2 Bon Kurei.
"AAHHH!" Ms. Merry Christmas groaned. "BACK! BACK HURTS! GET OVER HERE AND MASSAGE IT MR. 4!"
Mr. 4, who had gone mostly ignored, stood on a rock staring through a pair of binoculars. He turned to the others and called out, "Tthhhheeeeeyyyyy'rrrrrreeee ccooooommmmiiiiinnnnggg nnnoooooowwwwwww…"
"WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL US THAT EARLIER YOU IDIOT?" Ms. Merry Christmas shouted as she raced over and claimed the binoculars, knocking her partner off his rock in the process. FWUMP! Ms. Merry Christmas peered through the binoculars and let out a startled gasp at what she saw, "AHHH! DUCKS! THEY'RE ON DUCKS!"
"Ducks...?!" What do you mean Miss Merry Christmas?" Ms. Double Finger repeated. "Are you sure? Do you see anything else?"
"YES, THERE'S TOO MANY OF THEM! I'M COUNTING SIX!" Christmas shouted.
"We've already been told Straw Hats himself is dead right, without him the list should only be four right?" Christmas asked.
"No Miss Merry Christmas... didn't you listen to the boss, from what he said our info on how many Vivi has working for her is all mess up. he warned us to be on the look out for more then what was listed."
"No matter how many more of them there are, our target is still the princess. stop your chattering..." Mr.1 order as Miss Merry Christmas frowned.
"Look over there! I can see the rebels! There are so many of them!"
"That Princess is one loony loon if she thinks she can stop all of them! And that looony loon is coming from this direction!" Mr. two cackle as Miss Merry Christmas face darken.
"All we got to do is get rid of the Princess...? All right, then. WHY DON'T YOU TELL ME WHICH ONE IS VIVI!?" Miss Merry Christmas shouted.
"OH NO! THE'RE ALL WEARING THE SAME CLOAK!" Mr. 2 screamed in shock as Mr. glared and his partner sweat drop.
"And those birds are Alabastest's quickest, the 'super spot-billed' duck squad!" Ms. Double Finger stated.
"THOSE SNEAKY RATS!" Mr. 2 exclaimed. "HOW ARE WE SUPPOSED TO TELL WHICH ONE IS VIVI LIKE THIS? IT'S JUST NOT A FAIR THING TA DO, YA KNOW?" Suddenly, 'vague' didn't seem like such a fun word.
"DO IT NOW MR. 4!" Ms. Merry Christmas ordered when her slow partner finally managed to pull himself up off of the ground. Mr. 4 removed a huge cannon from his back and fired it, BOOM! A baseball flew out and landed in front of the charging clamor of ducks.
"STAY AWAY FROM IT!" Naruto shouted warning the others, 'SWISH' The ducks and their riders split up to avoid the baseball as it exploded, KA-BOOOM!
"MISSED THEM!" Mr. 2 snapped. "Those damn birds! They're too fast!"
"Two have broken off to the south! They're splitting up!" Miss Merry Christmas exclaimed as she saw two of the ducks splitting off from the others. "Those ones are going to the south gate. The south gate is straight where the rebels are heading'! So one of them is Vivi!?
"Leave those two to us!" she exclaimed, "Let's go, Mr. 4!" she continued as they ran after the two.
"Hissatsu: 'Kaen Boshi'!" one of the riders exclaimed as he fired toward Mr. 1, which eventually hitting him straight and burning him while the other riders splitted off by two people each groups.
"Mr. 1! Two more split off that way! One of them could be Vivi!" Miss Double-Finger exclaimed. "They're going in the west gate." She added as she watched the group right at her right calmly.
"Damn…! Follow them!" Mr. 1 replied.
Then suddenly one of the last groups of the ducks eventually crashed into Mr. 2 and kept going toward south-west gate.
"3 of the 5 gates to Alubarna can be entered from the west! So they're going in separately! Same thing, we'll still kill them inside!" Miss Double-Finger said, finally figuring it out.
"You're not getting away from me now!" Mr. 2 exclaimed as his nose is bleeding before took off to run after them who crashed into him while the other two ran after the ducks that went past their right earlier also.
After a few minutes, the agents finally got their prey.
"Oooh, not too bad! Thanks for following us in!" one of the riders that being followed by Mr. 2 said.
"What!?" the okama replied in confusion.
Somewhere with the Mr. 1 pair, they also got their prey.
"Stop! Stop!" one of the riders exclaimed and the ducks stopped and turned around to face their predators. "You people are good at guessing! Yes, I am princess Vivi!" the person said.
"What the hell are—"another one said before the person stopped and clears their throat before continued their words with a little high voice, "In the world are you saying? I'm the real Vivi!"
Somewhere with the Mr. 4 pair, they also finally got their prey.
"I think this should be far enough." One of the riders said as they stopped and turned around to face their predators.
"Time to show you who we really are!" the riders exclaimed in the same time as they threw off their cloaks, revealing their identities at once.
"TOO BAD! WANNA TRY AGAIN?!" all the Straw-Hats said with cocky smiles.
"WHAT?!" shouted most of the agents as (Thank you everyone...!) Vivi though giving a silent thanks them before riding off on Carue.
"We must hurry... the rebels will be here any minute. Let go Karoo." Vivi shouted rushing off as the Straw Hats face off against Baroque Works best.
"Alright Naruto, kick their asses!" Nami shouted getting a tick mark from Naruto, "Shut it, you got a weapon now right, help out dammit!" Naruto screamed while Mr.1 and his partner Ms. Double Finger sweat drop at the two.
"WE'RE SORRY!" Usopp cried holding on to the camel called Eyelass as Mr. 2 glared at them.
"Heheh! No more Rebellion!" Sanji grinned as he and Chopper face off against Mr. 4 and his partner Ms. Merry Christmas.
"FINALLY!" Luffy screamed jumping to his feet and spitting out the bone of a large chuck of meat he had eaten next to a five foot high pile of bone, true to her word Miss All Sunday had indeed drop Luffy off at a diner before leaving him be, Luffy had to raid the place until he found a kitchen and quickly located where they kept the meat at.
"Man good thing this place was closed but she could have at least told where the kitchen were Luffy whine patting where the hole in his cheat had been, it was close him now but could still reopen if he wasn't careful... not that Luffy cared about this. He had other things on his mind.
"Still that bastard did a number on me but..." Luffy mutter flexing his fist and grinned, "Thank to him I'm finally getting the hang of this Haki stuff." Luffy giggle before looking at the door.
"I can't wait to break his face in with it!" Luffy laugh, grabbing two large pieces of meat and putting them in his pocket for later Luffy head to the door and walk out it, he groan as the sun rays shin in his eyes before a thought hit him.
"Hey, how am I going to get to that Aluboo place?" he said to himself tilting his head to the side in confusion until a shadow over came him, causing him to look up and seeing something flying over head, "What the heck is that, a big bird?"
