Chapter 292: Arc 17: Escape The Flower Capital!

"Sangoro!" Usohachi shouted. "Leave Otoko to me."

"Thanks, Usohachi." Sangoro nodded.

Meanwhile, Zorojuro and Kyoshiro were clashing against each other as Sangoro renewed his fight against X Drake.

"Two Sword Style: Tower Climb Return!" Zorojuro took to the air and slashed both his swords down.

"Diable Jambe: Concassé!" Sangoro slammed his flaming leg on X Drake.

Blocking out Zorojuro's attack, Kyoshiro threw the younger swordsman off. "You'd better stop, ronin." he warned. "Seems like fortune favors me." he grinned as the Orochi Oniwabanshu arrived on the scene. Using the raising smoke as cover, he retreated.

"We know who you are." Fukurokuju informed. "Roronoa Zoro from the Straw Hat Pirates. Hawkins was right. It seems like all members of the Straw Hats are here in Wano. All we need is one of you. I do not care who it is. Your capture and subsequent torture will tell us your purpose. Let's go." he ordered his group. The rest of the ninja group vanished, leaving Jigoku Benten to deal with Zorojuro.

"Ninpo: Hell Biwa!" Jigoku Benten fired her machine gun at the samurai.

"That's just a damn gun!" Zorojuro snapped, rolling out of harm's way.

Chrome, Yazemon and Sarutobi cornered the fleeing Sahiko, Onami and Orobi.

Yazemon attacked first, firing his arrows from the tube within his straw hat and stopping Usohachi in his tracks.

"Don't worry." Bonekichi came to the rescue. "Please flee the capital now. I'll take care of them. Soul King! A curse on you!" he sent out his soul to scare off Chrome, Yazemon, Bishamon and Sarutobi.

"That woman..." Daikoku spotted the fleeing Hiyori. "She was with Zorojuro. Fujin, Raijin, chase that woman." he ordered.

Meanwhile...

Law had also arrived to the prison holding his crewmates.

"I knew you were coming." Hawkins stood in front of the younger pirate. "Trafalgar Law."

"Captain, I'm sorry." Shachi apologized. "Us getting caught really put you in a bind."

"What did you do to our polar bear?" Law saw Bepo was missing.

"With your ability, you can get them out in an instant." Hawkins explained. "What kind of fool would keep all the hostages in one conspicuous place? I'll put you in that jail, too."

"Don't push your luck." Law growled. "Didn't you learn anything?"

"Did you?" Hawkins returned. "You can't take me down." drawing his sword, the older pirate made a cut across his arm, the same injury was reflected on Shachi's arm. "I have four lives now." he threatened. "You can only cut me up after you've killed three from your own crew. Yes, that is good." he nodded, seeing Law back down.

"Diable Jambe: Concassé!" Sangoro renewed his attack on X Drake. Using Blue Walk, he tried to dodge X Drake's jaws, only to be smacked to the ground by the Allosaurus' tail.

"You've surely got the Vinsmoke blood in your veins." X Drake praised.

"Do not mention that name again." Sangoro snapped. Taking to the rooftops, he coated his leg with Armament Haki and slammed the kick on the Allosaurus' claw. That voice... his mind eye centered on the scream from Hiyori who had been caught by Fujin and Raijin. A beauty. She's getting attacked. His chivalry coming into play, he lit his leg on fire. "Diable Jambe: Extra Hachis Hash!" he shot straight into X Drake's face and sent his rapid flaming kicks at the Allosaurus. One final powered kick sent the former Marine onto the ground. With X Drake taken care off, the blond cook hurried over to Hiyori, only to have Zorojuro knock him off course, the green-haired swordsman elbowing Raijin away and letting Hiyori fall into his arms.

"You're protecting her." Fujin sent a ball of air towards Zorojuro. "So, she's your ally."

Zorojuro sliced the attack into half and fled with Hiyori. "Why are you getting chased?" he fumed.

"I'm sorry." Hiyori apologized. "I tried to hide my face, but..."

SailorStar9: Any OOC-nes is regretted. *Sighs* Don't you just hate plot bunnies sometimes? Reviews are much appreciated.
