I do not own One Piece.
This starts is Usopp's P.O.V. and then switches to Sanji's.
I seat on the railing of Sunny, staring at the forest as tears stream down my face. I hated leaving Sanji there alone, but I knew it was for the best. There was no way I would have been of any help. Just seeing him made me freeze up and my mind to blank, I wouldn't have been able to fight at all. I wouldn't have just hindered Sanji, he would have spent most of the time worrying about me. So, it was defiantly for the best, but I still feeling terrible about running like that. It just proves how weak and helpless I am. I had been swearing that if I ever saw him again, I would kill him myself. But I wasn't able to do anything.
Let out a shaky sigh, I continue staring at the forest, hoping Sanji, or any of the crew, would come out soon. Suddenly I see movement out of the corner of my eyes, a large group of people were exiting the ship. Pulling down my goggles, I try to focus on them, sighing in relief when I recognize a few of them as being part of Whitebeard's crew. My relief was short lived, however, when I notice them carrying Luffy and Ace on their backs, both of them unconscious and covered in blood and bandages.
"Luffy!" I yell out in surprise, jumping down from the railing and hurriedly making my way off the ship, running towards the group. I see the one carrying Ace, who I can only assume is Marco from the stories Ace had told me, say something to a few of the others, who nod their heads and quickly make their way towards me.
"What happened to Luffy and Ace?" I ask in shock, thinking it was impossible for either of them to lose, and especially both of them. They exchange glances before looking at me sadly.
"We are not really sure what exactly happened. We were with Pops when Tavaris showed up wearing Ace's hat. Pops sent us off to find Ace, while he fought Tavaris. When we found them, they were laying unconscious in a massive pool of blood. They still had a pulse, though it was very weak, so we bandaged them as best we could, to try and slow down the bleeding, with the hopes that we would be able to make it back to the ship in time. Our doctors will do everything they can for Ace and Luffy. If you want, you can go and stay on the Moby Dick and your doctor is more than welcome to assist ours." they inform me, smiling sadly.
"Chopper isn't here. I am the only one back," I reply, shooting a quick glance on the forest. They nod their heads, before, also glancing quickly at the forest.
"You can still stay on our ship, if you wish. We will stay out here and inform any of your crew members that show up," they offered. I nodded my head, thank them and take off towards their massive ship.
I jump backward, narrowly avoiding getting hit by his sword. I glare up at him, as he lets out a low laugh. "If you think you can get revenge for your little whore with just that much power, then this fight won't even be fun….but at least I'll get to the after party quicker," he jeers with a lecherous smirk. I smirk back, taking a long draw from my cigarette.
"That was just the entrée, now it's time for the main dish," I reply, attacking him with a barrage of rapid kicks. He goes flying backwards, crashing through trees. He looks up from his place, slumped against a tree, and grins at me, blood running down from his head. He slowly stands up and begins charging towards me, his sword raised high in the air. I smirk back, rushing towards him as well, ready to show him exactly what happens when someone messes with my Usopp.
He ended being all talk, after all. A few kicks sent his sword flying, but not before he landed a hit to my side. A few more kicks and he was lying unconscious and bloody on the ground. I know that Luffy hates for us to kill anyone we don't have to, but I feel I don't have a choice this time. I can't let him live after what he did to Usopp. I walk towards his limp body and raise my leg, slamming in down as hard as I could on his neck. I close my eyes in slight disgust at the sickening crunch it made, before turning away and pulling out a cigarette. I put a hand on my side, hoping to slow the bleeding down and begin rushing towards Sunny, I had to make sure Usopp was alright.
