(Brook POV)

Everything was going ok until we saw smoke in the distance.

"Robin-San." I whispered. Robin stood up, but almost fell over. I frowned in worry, she has been feeling worse since she went into Mr. Opposite's base. I wonder what he did. Her eyes widened at the sight of the smoke.

"That's in the direction of the Sunny!" Robin said, "Franky and Ussop might be in trouble!"

"You're right, Robin-San we should go help them." I said. I lifted her up and ran through the crowd towards the Thousands Sunny.

When we arrived at the ship my non-existent heart skipped a beat. A smell of burned rubber filled the air and the grass is dead. The mast is snapped in half, which Franky previously said that the wood can't break. Robin stood up, her knees wobbling, and ran towards Franky. He laid on the floor, his robot parts laid astray and blood and grime covered his body. He coughed up smoke. His eyes are glossy white and his blue hair is burnt at the ends.

"Franky!" Robin kneeled down and shook him awake. Instead of waking up he just coughed up more smoke.

"Who did this?" I questioned.

"I did." A voice said from behind me. I whipped my head around to see, to my horror, Luffy holding a beaten up Usopp by the neck. I did a double take, no that isn't Luffy. He looks more angry and malevolent. He wore a facial expression Luffy could never wear.

"Usopp!" Robin exclaimed in horror.

Usopp lifted his head up with effort, "Don't worry... I'm fine." He choked. Luffy threw Usopp towards us saying, "Take him." I gripped my sword-cane.

"How dare you." I said, my bones rattled.

Three grinned mischievously, I hated they way his face looked so much like Luffy's. He raised an eye brow, "Oh? You want to die too, Skeleton Man? It'll be an honor to see your soul go back to the underworld." Three said.

I pointed my sword towards his face, it barely scratched his nose. "We'll see who will go to the underworld." I felt my soul surround my sword, giving it an aura. "Robin-San, protect Ussop and Franky for me. I'll take care of this."

"Second Gear." Three said cooly. I slashed with my sword, but Three disappeared in a flash. Second Gear... I forgot.

"JET PISTOL!" Three shouted. I quickly dodged and countered back with a bunch of stabs back. I just need to hit him once and he'll be frozen. "GUM-GUM BAZOOKA!" I narrowly dodged that, the wind from the attack made me loose my balance. I felt Three's foot kick my back, making a CRACKING sound. I maneuvered my body to stab Three. I succeeded, my sword went through his leg. He is frozen into ice by the cold winds of the underworld.

It felt to easy, no way I just defeated Luffy- Luffy- that easily. I felt dread fill up in my stomach. I tied to stand up, but the ground felt way light, like a bounce house. I struggled to rise to my feet and gain my balance. The dead grass almost felt... rubbery. My eye sockets widened. That's his trick. I looked at Three, who is covered in ice. I gripped my sword tightly.

"Y-you are an awakened user?!" I exclaimed. To my horror, the ice cracked. I quickly tried to rapidly stab Three, but the ice shards blinded my vision. I felt them imbed into my bones, like bullets from a gun. I struggled to stay standing with the bouncy floor. I heard Robin shout. My ears started ring, Robin-San. I used the bouncy floor to my advantage by launching myself towards Robin, determined to save my injuredco crew mates.

I intercepted Three's fist with my sword. "Robin! Go!" I shouted. She nodded and used her devil fruit to carry Usopp and Franky off the ship. I kept my feet firm in the ground. I held my sword still and with force, I'm not letting him win. I felt confident, even though my bones ached. My confidence quickly faded after I realized that my sword is starting to bend. That's not good. I added more force, if you're going to break my sword I'm going to break your arm.

"You can't win." Three smirked, my sword bended more.

I grinted my teeth, "Why is that?"

"Simple." I heard the awful sound of metal creaking. "I am." To my horror, I saw a crack start to form. "Stronger than you!" SNAP! I jumped backwards. I looked at my now broken sword. Sword Solid... I felt anger form in my chest. There is still a little piece of metal left on the hilt, it's sharp. I wonder if this'll work... Well, I don't have any other options. I held my sword like normally. I'm going to have to adapt my fencing style, or I won't be able to beat Three.

I heard the sound of laughter. "What a PATHETIC Sword!" Three laughed. I ran at full speed towards Three, I've always been light on my feet. I caught him by suprise and stabbed him in the gut.

"You just got stabbed by a 'pathetic' sword." I said. My knees felt wobbly. I felt the ground get more unstable. I quickly removed my sword and staggered backwards, not wanting to loose my balance.

"Rubber World." I heard Three mutter, then he disappeared in a flash. My head whipped around. I saw someone—quite literally— bouncing off the walls. He moved so quickly that my eyes couldn't keep track. I felt my shoulder get hit. Leg. Chest. Back. I sliced with a large ark, even if the sword is small I still might slice him. Not here, so... I turned around quickly and stabbed with a downward motion. I got his arm.

I grabbed hold of his arm, trying to slow him down. Instead I got swung into the Sunny's mast. I crumpled to the floor. It was no longer rubbery and bouncy, it's hard and firm. I looked around for a weapon, maybe Zoro has a spare sword? I don't think this small sword will do me any good. Sadly, I couldn't find anything.

"Wow! How surprising! The old skeleton is still fighting!" Three mocked.

I lifted my sword up, "Who're you calling old?" I said.

Three frowned, "Well, I guess I gotta kill you now. It's been fun."

Three prepared a finishing blow, his arm turning dark from haki. As his hand flew closer to my face only had one thought; I'm going to die (again) if he hits me. Time seemed to slow down. I brought my sword up. I put all my energy into my slash. It felt like all of my soul flowing into Soul Solid. It's thee normal cold aura, but with something more. I did a long arc with my sword, like I've seen Zoro do a million times. It came in control act with Three's fist. I put all my strength to holding it still. Energy poured from my sword and his fist. Chunks of ice flew out like shards of glass. Icee slowly started to make its way up Three and my arm. I looked away bracing for impact, my past injuries slowly started to catch up with me. And then it stopped.

I looked up to find Three clutching his chest. "You-you bastard! You aren't supposed to have armament haki!" Three shouted. A long sword wound poured blood onto the floor. "I was supposed to win!" Three groaned. He collapsed to her floor. That's when I realized, I opened up his old scar that he got from Akainu. I checked his pulse. Dead.

I looked down to my shaking hand, I dropped the sword to the ground. Ice covered my arm. Did I really just... Use haki?!My body trembling, I stood up and stumbled towards Robin-San. Once I saw her I let her know that I defeated him. Then, I collapsed.
