Chapter 26- Enies Lobby in sight! Charge in, Strawhats!
"FROOOOOG!" Luffy screamed in warning from the top of the locomotive.
"Huh?" Juli blinked in confusion.
"Oi, he said we're heading back." Lulu said as he misunderstood what Luffy was saying.
"Is that right?" Tyleston said calmly while sipping on some tea. "What a relief."
"Well, we better get ready to get home." Lulu shrugged.
"Yeah." Tyleston agreed.
Just then, they fully realized what they're saying. "NANI?!"
Juli narrowed her eyes. 'This has to be a misunderstanding. Lu would never want to turn around without Robin!' She walked towards the window and climbed outside as they others were screaming in shock.
"Tell us why, Mugiwara-san!" Zambai shouted angrily.
"Lu…" Juli said as she spotted him.
"NOOOO! THAT FROG FROM BEFORE…JUST JUMPED…ONTO THE TRACKS!" Luffy shouted in distress.
"What?!" Juli shouted in shock and ran towards Luffy. And really, as she stopped next to Luffy, she could see Yokozuna on the tracks ahead.
"What the hell is up with the giant frog?!" The Franky Family shouted in surprise.
"Look out! Get out of the way, frog!" Luffy tried to warn him.
Juli narrowed her eyes. "His name is Yokozuna, Lu. And I don't think he's intending to leave the tracks."
"Wha?!" Luffy looked at her in surprise. "But we will hit him!" And with that, they both looked back just as they were about to crash into the frog.
A few moments later…
"F-frog…" Luffy gaped in shock at Yokozuna, who was now sitting on the locomotive in front of them, while croaking at them.
Juli blinked in surprise as she studied his scars. 'Why is he doing that to himself…'
"Enough with the ribbits, you punk!" Luffy shouted angrily and hit his snout. "Your stupid slap derailed us! We were about to catch up to Sanji and the others! What gives?!"
Juli giggled amused as she saw Luffy arguing with Yokozuna and beginning to fight. "Ara ara~ Stop you two or you will destroy the Rocketman!"
The two looked at her and pointed a finger at one another. "He started it…" Luffy shouted and pouted. Yokozuna croaked accusingly as he glared at Luffy.
Juli sighed in fondness.
"OI!" They heard Zambai shouting. "Are you guys okay? We are going to make it to Enies Lobby, right?!"
"Quit yer fussin'!" Kokoro shouted at him. "Give me a minute!"
Juli bit on her lip. 'Right, we were derailed… And we lost the King Bulls with the Franky Family… But we have Nami and she's the best navigator, so we should be alright for now.'
"Oi! Yokozuna! Get your butt over here!" Kokoro shouted at him.
Yokozuna looked at her utterly surprised before jumping towards her.
"H-He jumped!" Luffy shouted surprised.
Juli ran after Yokozuna. 'I want to know why he's jumping in front of Sea Trains… And maybe I can speak with him…'
As she arrived by Kokoro and Yokozuna she watched in surprise how Kokoro and Yokozuna talked with each other.
"What do you mean with "I'm glad you're safe" Good grief." Kokoro shook her head in fondness. "I'm not the one, who was kidnapped. Don't jump to conclusions." She laughed amused.
Yokozuna croaked in confusion.
Luffy sat down next to Juli and listened seriously to their conversation.
"What in the world have you been doing to yourself?! You're covered in scars. Yeez." Kokoro scolded him, but looked at him sadly.
Yokozuna looked at her emotionally.
Juli, who could feel both of their emotions firsthand, looked at them sympathetically.
"Ever since that incident eight years ago… when Tom-san was taken away… you have tried time after time to take down the Sea-Train. Why? Because you wanted to get stronger, right?" Kokoro said seriously. "So, that you would never lose someone important again. So, that you could protect them."
Yokozuna's eyes watered and he croaked in agreement.
Juli's eyes widened in understanding. 'That's why he threw himself in front of the Sea-Train… He wants to get stronger… So, he doesn't have to feel the despair ever again, when someone he loves is being taken away…'
"Yokozuna. Now's the time to show that strength!" Kokoro looked at him seriously.
Yokozuna's eyes widened in surprise.
"Your dear friend Franky was taken away just like Tom-san! We're on our way to him at this very moment!"
Juli noticed how Luffy smiled next to her. She shook her head and smiled softly.
"Will you come with us?" Kokoro asked him.
Yokozuna croaked loudly in agreement.
Kokoro laughed. "Mugiwara. We've got a new nakama."
"Got it!" Luffy said cheerfully and looked down to her. "Shishishi. Nice going, Monster Granny!" He grinned brightly. "Or should I say Frog Granny? Which one are you?"
"Lu. That's rude." Juli said scoldingly and pulled at his ear lobe.
"Itai, Itai, Itai! Juli-nee, that hurts!" Luffy pouted at her after she let go of his ear lobe. "How come something like that hurts?! I'm made out of rubber…" He grumbled annoyed.
Juli and Kokoro laughed amused. Even Yokozuna croaked in laughter.
"Oi, not you too, frog!" Luffy's pout deepened.
Kokoro went back into the engineer's cabin after Nami called for her.
Juli and Luffy, now on top of Yokozuna's head, looked determined ahead.
"Off we go, Juli-nee, frog!" Luffy shouted enthusiastically. Yokozuna croaked loudly in agreement.
Juli smiled softly. 'Yes. Robin, please stay safe. We are coming!'
Sometime later…
"We found them!" Luffy shouted cheerfully as he spotted the Sea Kings of the Franky Family. "It's the giant Yagara!"
Yokozuna cheered too.
Juli smiled softly.
Sanji and Usopp, who were inside the carriage of the Franky Family, ran to the window and looked out. "Luffy!" They shouted as they spotted him.
"Shishishi! Sanji!" Luffy shouted cheerfully and then he spotted Sogeking standing next to Sanji. "And who is that?" He blinked confused.
Juli giggled and waved at them. "Minna! I'm glad you're okay!"
"Huh? That's…" Sanji said surprised as he noticed Juli. Just then, he saw the new dress she was wearing and got hearts in his eyes. "Juli-megami~ You look gorgeous!" He began to swoon around.
Inside the train cabin…
"Okay guys! Enies Lobby is in sight." Kokoro informed Chopper, Paulie, Zoro, Tyleston, Lulu, Zambai and the Square Sister through the speaker.
"Yosh! Prepare for showdown!" Zambai shouted seriously and everyone grabbed their weapons, ready to give the government a piece of their mind.
Later, inside the train cabin…
"SOGEKI NO SHIMA DE~
UMARETA ORE WA~" Sogeking started to sing.
"HYAPPATSU HYAKU-CHUU~
LU LU LA LA LU~"
"NEZUMI NO MEDAMA MO~
LOCK ON!
OMAE NO HAATO MO~
LOOOCK OOOON!"
"SOGEKI NO SHIMA KARA KITA OTOKO~
LU LU LU LU LU LA LA~
SORE NIGERO~"
„SO GE GE SO GE SO GE SOGEKING~"
Luffy and Chopper looked at him in awe and stars appeared around their heads. "Sogeking from Sniper Island?!" They shouted in unison.
"Correct! I am Usopp-kun's good friend." Sogeking said easily. "I'm here because he asked me to help you."
"H-He's a hero!" Luffy said in awe and the stars around their heads grew bigger. "I thought so from the start because of your cape! Awesome! I've never met a hero before."
"I see." Chopper said. "He's a hero because he's wearing a cape!"
"That's right!" Luffy nodded seriously. "Even those caped baboons are heroes!"
"Really?!" Chopper looked at him in awe.
"Yeah! Anything wearing a cape is a hero!"
Juli blinked. "This is Usopp, isn't it?"
"Yep." Zoro deadpanned.
"Usopp! I'm glad he's okay!" Nami said in relief.
"It's the Long Nose who rushed the Franky House." Zambai noticed.
"It's Long Nose who was arrested with Franky-aniki." The Square Sisters said.
"P-pleased to meet you." Luffy said admiringly as he reached out his hand for him to shake, not noticing that everyone is recognizing Usopp as Sogeking.
"It's that guy from the Shift Station." Chinney and Gonbe noticed, as Sogeking shook Luffy's hand.
"Could you sign this?" Chopper asked adoringly.
"Of course." Sogeking took the paper and signed it.
"So, where'd Usopp go then?" Luffy asked him in confusion.
"He's safe. Do not worry about him. Anyway, he said that we should put all our effort into rescuing Robin-kun. Right?"
"Yeah. That's the plan." Luffy nodded seriously.
"W-Where is Sniper Island?" Chopper asked Sogeking, still in awe.
"Ah yes." Ranbow stars appeared around him as he handed Chopper his autograph. "It's inside… your very hearts."
Stars appeared in Chopper's eyes and Luffy gaped in awe. 'Our hearts…' More bright stars appeared around them.
Nami's eyebrow twitched. "Where's that?!"
Juli giggled. "Let them have their fun." She watched as Luffy, Chopper and Sogeking all sang his song together. But then, she looked in concern at Sanji, who was being silent the whole time they arrived and she could feel that something is bearing down on him.
"Nami-swan… Juli-megami." Sanji suddenly said.
"What is it, Sanji-kun?" Nami looked at him surprised.
"Everything alright?" Juli still looked at him in concern.
"The rest of you dumbasses too." He said seriously.
"Huh?" The others looked at him in surprise.
"Before we rescue Robin-chwan…there's something you have to hear. I will tell you now, what this Blueno said to me: 'The Bustercall is a serious topic. Long ago, a certain island was destroyed. Five Vice Admirals and 10 battleships. That's the overwhelming military force she came face to face with. The buster call is a nightmare she can't blot out. She could never bear to see that terrifying attack from her childhood…repeated against her nakama. So, all traces of residence in her have vanished.' In other words, CP9 got to her by digging up her past. I'm not trying to justify losing, though." Sanji told them seriously. "Anyway, even if we follow her into enemy territory…there's no guarantees she will change her mind."
Juli clenched her fists and her eyes watered. "They destroyed a whole island with a Bustercall! How can they do such a thing…" She shook her head and wiped her angry tears away.
"Juli…" Zoro and Nami looked at her surprised.
"They really fooled me into believing the marines are doing the right thing… Just so they could use me…" She took a shaky breath. Then, she shook her head to dispel the thoughts. "I'm sorr-"
"Like any of this matter!" Luffy shouted angrily. "I'll never forgive Robin!"
"Yeah!" Chopper shouted in agreement.
A tick mark appeared on Nami's head and she hit Luffy over the head. "Why not?!"
"Because!" Luffy pouted at her. "I don't get why she's refusing to get saved!"
Juli giggled amused, completely forgetting about the thoughts she had before.
"She's worried about what would happen to us after we safe her!" Nami screeched at him.
"We don't know what would happen!" Luffy shouted at her. "But if we give up now, they'll kill her! It's not like she wants to die so we gotta save her!" And with that, Luffy huffed and walked away from her.
"Of course she doesn't, but still!" Nami tried to get it into his head.
"Give it up." Zoro said to her. "It doesn't change what we have to do. We're going to save her."
"I'll pummel them all!" Luffy grumbled angrily. "I've got some moves to test."
Juli shook her head in fondness. 'That's Lu for you…'
Nami sighed, but then smiled.
"Take a look at this guys." Paulie said and pointed at a map of Enies Lobby he drew. "I came here once to perform maintenance on the tracks. My memory is a bit hazy…but this is the basic layout of Enies Lobby."
Everyone came to look at the map.
"Interesting…" Juli said, deep in thoughts.
"The Gate of Justice is at the back of the island. It can only be accessed through the judiciary tower." Paulie explained to them.
"What's all the black stuff?" Luffy asked curiously.
"That's a waterfall."
"A waterfall?" Luffy blinked in confusion.
"You'll understand once we pass the main gate. It's a straight path from the main gate to the gate of justice. That's were Nico Robin and Franky will be taken. We could be too late." Paulie told them seriously.
"Why?!" Luffy asked. "No matter where they take Robin…we'll just chase them until we get her back!"
"We talked about this already!" Nami said in annoyance. "The only two destinations beyond that gate are Marine HQ and an underwater prison. We have to finish things before that, at all costs!"
"That's right." Paulie said seriously. "However, even if we all storm the island… the only ones who stand a chance against CP-9…are you guys. Your strength has become pretty clear since we boarded this train. So, you should wait at sea for five minutes…"
Luffy nodded and pretended like he was listening to everything.
"…then charge from the main gate to the central island with the Rocketman!"
"The rest of us will go on ahead…" Zambai said seriously. "…and open the main and central island gates for you. After that, no matter how many of us are defeated…you should ignore us and push forward! We have at most sixty men. They'll have two or three thousand- too many to fight off. At any rate, you guys should ignore unnecessary fighting…and go straight for CP-9!"
Luffy narrowed his eyes seriously. "Right, I got it!"
"Alright you guys. We're almost there!" Kokoro's voice sounded through the speaker. "Take a good look at the sky behind Enies Lobby. That's the Gate of Justice."
"It's huge!" They all shouted flabbergasted.
Juli sighed. 'It's just like I remember it…'
"Alright, there's no time to lounge around!" Kokoro ordered through the speaker and everyone, expect for the Strawhats, got ready.
"Okay, well go ahead as planned!" Zambai said to them. "We've got your backs!"
A tick mark appeared on Zoro's head as he spotted Nami and Sogeking in Zambai's group. "OI, you two are coming with us!" He shouted at them.
Juli smiled softly. Suddenly, Luffy came to her and whispered something into her ear.
Juli's eyes widened. "Are you sure?"
Luffy nodded, utterly serious. "Yes. Be careful Juli-nee and stay with Zoro or Sanji."
"Okay." She nodded seriously. "Be careful too, Lu."
A few moments later…
"Huh?" Chopper looked around the train cabin. "Where's Luffy?"
"Huh? He was just here-" Nami looked at the place, where Luffy was sitting before, but now it's empty.
Zoro and Sogeking began to sweat. 'He didn't…'
"Oh, Lu already went ahead." Juli said casually.
"EEHH?!" They all shouted utterly shocked.
"What the fuck is he doing?!" Paulie shouted angrily.
"He didn't understand the plan at all!" Zambai shouted utterly shocked.
Chopper gaped in shock and Nami sank to her knees. "It's not use."
Juli smiled apologetically. "Sorry, but Lu told me not to tell you until he's gone."
Sanji sighed. "It's okay, Juli-megami. He said he understood the plan."
"He can't just wait five minutes." Sogeking said and waved with his hand dismissively.
"You're probably right…" Zoro sighed.
In the engineer's cabin, Kokoro laughed amused. "What a hothead!"
"Go pirate boy!" Chimney cheered him on.
Zambai's group now charged in as well.
"Now we just have to wait five minutes, right? Should be easy enough." Nami said, but then sighed. 'This are going to be the longest five minutes of my life…'
A few moments later…
"You all set guys?" Kokoro asked them through the speaker.
Sanji sat on the bench, Nami checked her new clima tact and Juli looked at her fan, to test if everything is okay with it.
Zoro looked at Sogeking. "Are you hurt?"
"I'm fine. After all I'm Sogeking."
Stars appeared around Chopper's head as he looked up to him in awe.
"Here we go, Rocketman. Only four minutes left…until we crash the party."
A few moments later, inside the train cabin…
"Hey, Sogeking…" Nami asked as she looked at her clima tact. "I have a question about this cool tact."
"Um, don't ask me." Sogeking quickly turned around.
Nami looked at his back in annoyance.
"I hope everyone is okay…" Chopper said in concern.
"Just be quiet and wait, Chopper." Sanji said softly. "Having a hopeless Captain is plenty to worry about for now."
On top of the locomotive…
Juli looked in concern at Enies Lobby. 'Something is going to get down there… I have a feeling that our allies are going to get overwhelmed soon…'
"Don't worry, Juli." Zoro told her, as he sat next to her. "They will manage it someway."
Juli sighed and looked at him. "I hope you're right…"
A few minutes later…
"Alright guys, it's time!" Kokoro said cheerfully. "Here we go! They should have opened the two gates for us." "Samurai man, take care of that iron fence!" Kokoro shouted at Zoro.
"No problem." Zoro said and grabbed onto the handle of his katana.
Juli narrowed her eyes. "Are you ready, Yokozuna?"
Yokozuna, who sat behind them on the locomotive, croaked loudly in agreement.
As the Rocketman drew closer to the island, Zoro closed his eyes and concentrated.
Juli narrowed her eyes as she observed the island. Her eyes widened in surprise as she saw how the main gates were being closed again. "Zoro!" She shouted in alarm.
Zoro opened his eyes. "I noticed it. Oi, baa-san!"
Kokoro looked out of the window. "Huh? What is it?"
"Change of plan! We need this thing at full throttle!"
Kokoro burped. "Roger that."
Juli looked at him surprise. "What do you intend to do?"
"I have a plan." Zoro just said.
Juli blinked in confusion, but then shrugged.
"Oi, idiot marimo! What's the deal?!" Sanji asked him as he looked out the window.
"They closed the main gate on us." He said seriously.
"What?!" Sanji shouted in shock.
Sogeking, Nami and Chopper began to panic. "What do?! We are going to crash! Change the course, Kokoro-san!"
Zoro stood up. "Don't worry. There's a way."
"That's Zoro for you." Nami, Chopper and Sogeking shouted in relief.
Juli narrowed her eyes as they drew closer to the iron fence.
"Push that fence, frog!" Zoro shouted seriously.
"Eehh?!" Nami, Chopper and Sogeking shouted in disbelief.
Juli's eyes widened in understanding. "You don't want to-"
"It's the only way." Zoro said seriously.
Juli bit on her lip and hoped everything would go right.
Yokozuna got ready. And just as they were about to hit the fence, Yokozuna pushed it down a bit.
"No way! At this rate we are going to ride straight up the fence!" Kokoro shouted in shock.
And just like that, the Rocketman went straight up the fence and flew into the air.
"YOU'VE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME!" The government men shouted utterly shocked as they looked at the flying Rocketman.
"Kyaaa!" Juli shouted in surprise as she almost fell from the locomotive.
But before she could fall, Zoro grabbed onto her. "Be careful Juli."
"Thanks Zoro." Juli smiled at him and carefully sat down on the locomotive.
"We're going to die!" Sogeking shouted in fear.
"What?! We're all going to die?!" Chopper shouted utterly shocked.
Nami cried and screamed in fear as she flew through the cabin.
"Nami-swan~ You'll be save in my arms!" Sanji shouted with hearts in his eyes as he tried to grab onto Nami.
"We're flying into a giant pit, idiot!" Nami screamed at Zoro, as she leaned out of the window. "Zoro! You better have a plan for our landing!"
Zoro turned around to her. "Don't worry."
Nami, Sanji, Chopper and Sogeking all looked at him hopefully.
"Leave it to…luck." Zoro said nonchalant.
Yokozuna looked at him utterly shocked.
"Luck?!" Nami, Sanji, Chopper and Sogeking snapped at him.
Juli giggled amused.
The Rocketman flew quickly towards the second gate.
Just then, the Rocketman flew right over the second gate and crashed right into a giant that just wanted to attack Zambai, Paulie, Lulu, Tyleston and the Square Sisters.
The eyes of all the government men bulged out in shock, as the Rocketman successfully knocked down the giant and then landed on the ground with its tires.
"H-How did the Rocketman get up there?!" Zambai shouted utterly shocked.
"We opened the gate for no reason!" The Square Sisters, Lulu and Tyleston noticed flabbergasted.
"W-what just happened?!" A government man asked in shock.
"I hope they're okay after pulling such a stunt!" Zambai shouted in concern as he looked at the Rocketman, which was surrounded by dust clouds.
"Th-They're not coming out." Paulie said in shock.
Some marines and government men walked towards the Rocketman. Just then, they were thrown into the air and as the dust cloud cleared, Zoro and Sanji glared at the rest of the enemies.
"Who the hell are those guys?!" One of the government men asked in shock.
"Oh? Was I supposed to introduce myself?" Zoro asked gruffly.
"Don't make me laugh." Sanji said seriously.
"It's Roronoa and the others!" The Franky Family and Galley-La cheered.
"That went according to my plan…" Sogeking said as he pulled himself out of the collapsed train cabin of the Rocketman.
"Really?!" Chopper gaped at him in surprise.
"O-oi, I recognize that swordsman!" Suddenly, one marine shouted. "It's one of Strawhat's underlings- Pirate Hunter Zoro!"
Sanji chuckled tauntingly. "You're an underling."
"That makes you even lower." Zoro countered. "Pirate 'A'"
A tick mark appeared on Sanji's head.
"No 'B'." Zoro smiled tauntingly.
Sanji grunted angrily and glared at him. "You bastard! When I get a bounty it will be twice as high as yours!"
"Maybe 'C'." Zoro continued.
"Are you even listening to me?!" Sanji shouted at him, utterly angrily.
Juli giggled as she walked towards them. "This is not the time to argue, you two."
"Huh? Who's that?!" A government man shouted as he spotted her. Now, the whole crowd of enemies looked at Juli and blushed at her beauty.
"A-a goddess?!"
"Don't look at Juli-megami, you filthy bastards!" Sanji snapped at them.
A marine soldier shook his head and just then, noticed Chopper and Sogeking by the train. "There are another two by the train!"
"They heard us!" Chopper and Sogeking screamed in fright.
"There should be more of them inside! Blow them up before they can come out!" They took out cannons and aimed at the Rocketman.
"Oi, wait! Nami-swan is still inside!" Sanji stormed towards them, but too late, they already fired their cannons.
"Bastards! I'll slice them to bits!" Sanji shouted utterly angrily.
"Hold it, Pirate 'A'." Zoro taunted him.
"What?!" Sanji stormed back towards him and glared at him.
Juli shook her head in fondness.
"There's no way that would finish them. If you knew it, maybe you wouldn't be Pirate 'A'." Zoro shrugged easily.
"You damn marimo!" Sanji shouted angrily, but then a fragment of the Rocketman crashed onto his head and he sank to the ground.
"Hold your fire!" A marine shouted.
"What's wrong?" A government official asked him in confusion.
"Look over there!" He pointed at Kokoro, Chinney and Gonbe, who stood on top of the collapsed Rocketman.
"Oi! You wouldn't shoot an old lady, would you?" Kokoro said to them, while waving with the alcohol in her hand.
"And I'm just a poor little girl with her pet." Chinney shouted while waving at them.
"The Strawhats kidnapped us and made us operate the train!" Kokoro said seriously.
"It's true!" Chimney shouted cheerfully.
"I've never heard of a drunken hostage." Zambai deadpanned.
"That was close! We almost killed the hostages!" A marine sighed in relief.
"What a despicable bunch of pirates kidnapping the elderly, children and even pets." A government man said in disgust. Suddenly they looked up in surprise, just to see a big black cloud beginning to form over them. "What the…?"
"Cool balls…followed by heat balls. It makes the moisture in the air gather into clouds." Nami said seriously as cool balls and heat balls came out of her clima tact and vanished into the dark black cloud.
"Nami-swan~!" Sanji shouted lovestruck. "You made it out safely."
Juli narrowed her eyes and looked at the cloud. 'Why do I sense danger from Nami's attack? That makes no sense.'
"Oi, the cloud is getting bigger by the second." Zambai said in shock.
"The cloud spells danger." Kokoro said and took Chimney's hand, to drag her as far away from the cloud as possible. "Chimney! Gonbe! Come with me!"
"The perfect clima tact sure is amazing." Nami said seriously as she looked up. "Both its speed and effectiveness are on a whole new level. Let's see what this thing can do. Time for some lightning." One part of her clima tact began to be surrounded by electricity.
"The girl is up to something." Zambai said while sweating. "We should get out of here!"
Juli's eyes widened in realization. "Oh, no! Get down!" She stormed to Zoro and Sanji and threw them both with her body to the ground.
"Whaaa?" They both shouted in surprise as they fell to the ground with Juli landing on top of them.
"Here I go!" Nami shouted. "Thunderbolt Tempo!" And with that she threw a thunderbolt at the cloud.
Juli quickly took her fan out as she saw how the cloud was throbbing with electricity. She concentrated and closed her eyes.
"Juli-megami what are you-" Sanji asked and his eyes widened in surprise as thunderbolts crashed into the marines, successfully electrocuting them.
Just as a thunderbolt was about to hit them, Juli opened her eyes. "Fan no Kaze: Shooheki!" She shouted seriously and with that, the three were inside what looked like a little tornado shield and so were protected from the lightning.
Zoro and Sanji gaped at her utterly shocked, as she was upholding the shield with her fan.
Chimney looked in awe at the lightning, as she, Gonbe and Kokoro sat under a sun umbrella. "Wow, Baa-san that was some awesome lightning."
Kokoro took a sip from her alcohol and laughed amused. "That girl sure is something, isn't she?"
"Baa-san will we be okay under this umbrella?" Chinney asked her curiously.
"Have some faith in me! We will be fine here!" Kokoro assured her.
Just then, the umbrella was struck by a lightning bolt. Chimney and Gonbe screamed in shock and surprise.
Nami screamed in fear as she was almost hit by a thunder bolt. She landed on the ground, near Chopper and Sogeking and hit Sogeking angrily over the head with her clima tact. "It doesn't discriminate! I could have died!" She snapped at him.
"Waah! Sogeking!" Chopper's eyes bulged out in shock. "Why did you hit him?!"
Nami took a deep breath to calm down. "Nevermind. I like it this way."
"Don't take it out on me!" Sogeking said as he clutched the bump on his head. "You're just using it wrong. I'm sure Usopp-kun would say he doesn't recall designing this feature." He looked over the knocked out crowd of people. "But I have to say it sure is powerful. It took everybody down."
As the dust cloud disappeared, they spotted a little tornado.
"What the-" Sogeking shouted in surprise. Just then, the tornado disappeared and a heavy breathing Juli, who was sitting on top of Zoro and Sanji appeared. "That was close…" Juli sighed in relief and stood up from Zoro and Sanji.
A tick mark appeared on Zoro's head and he jumped up. "Damn it Nami! You could have hurt Juli and us all!"
Nami sweat dropped and looked accusingly at Sogeking. "Apologize to him, Sogeking!"
"You apologize, dammit!" Sogeking shouted at her in annoyance.
Just then, Sanji recovered from his shock and jumped up to hug Juli. "Juli-megami~ You can use me as your pillow whenever you want to."
Juli giggled amused and petted Sanji's head as he hugged her. "Sure, sure!"
Zoro glared darkly at Sanji. "Back off, nosebleed cook."
"What did you call me, marimo?!" Sanji snapped at Zoro and the two began to bicker again. Juli shook her head in fondness and smiled softly.
"What a crew…" Someone from the Franky family said in awe. "I really thought that girl could at most provide some backup…but it turns out she can more than hold her down!"
