Chapter 25: 4 v.s 5

Author's Note:

Hey quick message, I used the new fanfic app to write this so if you see any problems let me know. Now on to the story.

POV: Keith

When our ducks had stopped in front of one of the gates we turned around and threw our cloaks to the ground. "You Chose poorly" I said.

The short stump woman grit her teeth while the big hulking idiot next to her barely registered that we were here. The two were the Number 4 group, Mr. 4 and Ms. Merry Christmas. "Damn so it's the traitors." Ms. Merry Christmas said.

"Hey we're not traitors, besides we were betrayed first. Freddy D. Ruiz is a true man of courage and compassion, he gave his own leg for not just his crew but me and Valentine as well!"

"Yeah, Freddy and his crew took us in when you guys rather have us killed!" Valentine said.

Both Chopper and Shushu gave a nod. "Ha, they just took you in because they pitied you. After we're done here we'll find that princess and her country will fall just like your new captain." Ms. Merry Christmas said.

"What the hell are you talking about!" I yelled rage filling our eyes.

"That idiot girl thought she could take down Crocodile and now she's twenty feet under. Hahaha" she laughed and the huge idiot soon joined her. We all grit our teeth and Shushu started barking at Chopper.

"He says that you guys are lying and that you guys stand no chance." Chopper translated.

"Geeze, you guys just don't get it. Whatever, Mr. 4, let's do this." she then started to transform. Once the transformation was complete she had grown long claws and grew a snout. she had the look of a mole, well even more mole like then usual. Mr. 4 took the cannon off his back and placed it on the ground and pulled out a huge steel bat. The Cannon grew four legs then a dog head out of the barrel.

"Now behold! Our signature trap Molehill!" she then dug into the ground with Mr. 4 and the dog following behind her. We all stood waiting for them to come up when a bunch of holes started appearing in the sand. Out of one holes the dog peaked its head and shot a baseball at us. I attempted to catch it but it blew up in my hand sending me flying. All of us looked in shock just as another baseball came. We all managed to dodge it by splitting up but Mr. 4 came out of a hole and hit the ball right at chopper and the poor little guy didn't even see it coming. The explosion was just as big as the last.

"Did you forget that we are stronger for a reason?" Ms. Merry Christmas said popping out of one of her holes.

"Well get ready for a demotion, Valentine let's do it!" I said and she nodded and flew up into the sky. The dog tried to shoot her down but I used one of my boogers to blow the baseball up. "Ever since the first time you guys defeated us we've been training non-stop, hunting higher bounties and we've also found a way to defeat you. Chopper throw me at Valentine now!" Chopper in his strong form grabbed me and with all his strength he threw me right at Valentine as she was flying.

POV: Chopper

"Now what Keith!" I yelled but they were very high into the sky.

"Ha I guess their strategy was to run away, the only real solution. Now to finish you weaklings off!" She looked towards her partner and he held up his finger to the sky. We all looked where he was pointing and saw Keith and Valentine coming down fast in a Flaming ball.

"Meteor Crash!" They both said. Halfway down Valentine had let go and Keith was coming down fist first. I grabbed Shushu and ran to some ruins to take cover, Ms. Merry Christmas and their dog tried to push the huge man out of the way but he wasn't budging and was still pointing to the sky. I dived behind some ruins before I heard a great explosion and saw a tsunami of sand rain above us.

As the sand had begun to stop falling we peaked out from our cover to see a crater with Keith and Valentine in the middle. We ran to them and saw a seriously injured Keith and a slightly burned Valentine.

"What were you guys thinking you could've killed yourself from that, we need a doctor!" I yelled.

"You're the doctor!" Keith yelled back before wincing in pain.

"Oh yeah, don't worry I'll patch you guys up then we'll go off and meet with the others"

As I pulled out my supplies from my pack we failed to notice three figures popping out of the sand nearby. It wasn't until Shushu started to growl when we noticed the trio still up and running but still damaged from the blast. "That was pretty good, had you hit us directly then you might have actually killed us." Ms. Merry Christmas said. "But you missed! Going that fast means you can't change your direction and you were just slightly off. Now we'll show no mercy!"

She dug under the sand once again and the dog shot a baseball in front of us causing the sand to block our vision, as soon as it dispersed the trio was gone. Out of the sand two hands grabbed Valentine by the feet and dragged her across the sand and towards Mr. 4.

"Chopper help!" she screamed but as I transformed back into my strong point the dog had taken a shot at me and I had too brace for the worst.

When I fell to the floor I grit my teeth and looked over at Valentine to see Mr. 4 take a swing at her and she was sent flying. She landed right next to me and from what I could see, something was defiantly broken.

"Damn, I think he broke a few ribs." she said before getting back up. Keith also got up and could barley manage to stand.

POV: Valentine

I held my ribs due to the extreme pain. "Valentine, we have to win this. For Freddy and Lunna, we have to prove ourselves. We have to prove we are worthy of being strawhats!" Keith said. I nodded And we all regrouped. "OK I have a plan, Shushu use your superior dog nose and find that damn dog and stop him from firing any more shots. Keith once she grabs me I want you to shoot Mr. 4 and disorient him. Chopper I want you to follow behind and once I'm free I want you to throw me as hard as you can at Mr. 4" I said.

"But Valentine..."

"No buts! We have one shot at this. We can't mess up." as I said this I saw Ms. Merry Christmas go underground. "Now get ready! Shushu Go!" The dog gave a bark and started sniffing the air before taking off after one of the holes.

As he was finding the dog I felt hands around my feet again. And Keith took aim with his gun and the dog popped it head out only to meet the claws of Shushu. He yanked the dogs top jaw and the ball went straight up and Shushu ran away and the ball fell right back into his mouth. After a muffled explosion smoke came out of his mouth and he slumped over with his eyes pure white. One down two to go.

On cue Chopper followed us and Keith shot Mr. 4 staggering him and causing the sand to block our vision. I immediately turned the weight in my feet to 5 tons and she got whiplash from being yanked back due to not being able to drag me. I changed back to normal as Chopper grabbed me and threw me with all his strength and with both my fist forward I yelled "5 Ton Punch!" my fist went right into his stomach and we went a few meters from where he was standing before he fell. And I released the weight and walked back to my friends. Chopper held up a struggling mole woman as she she kicked and slashed to try and get away but she was too short.

"What do we do with her?" Chopper asked.

"I say we kill her" Keith said darkly scarying her.

"Wait! Wait! I know something that you don't know that'll be very important to know!" she pleaded.

"We're listening."

"There us a bomb that will wipe out everyone in the city! I don't know where it is but I know its in the city guarded by some agents."

"Thanks for that information now die!" Keith close lined her as chopper let her go and she exploded sending her to her partner.

"Come on we got no time to waste" Keith then took two steps before collapsing in the sand.

"Guess we should get healed up first" I said and chopper nodde pulling out his medical supplies. I wonder how the others are doing?
