Chapter:

"Who the hell are you? Hold on. I recognize that annoying laugh." Franky asked, scrunching his eyebrows together in confusion, recalling the voice, and glaring at the Transponder-Snail, "YOU'RE THAT DAMN SPANDA!"

"M! SPANDAM, YOU IDIOT!" the voice corrected, barring its teeth, a tick-mark appeared on its head, and hanging-up, "It doesn't matter. Once you get to Enies Lobby, you'll never forget my name ever again. NOW HURRY UP AND BRING HIM TO ME!"

CLICK

"LET ME GO, DAMMIT!" Franky shouted, being tied into a sack, barring his teeth, and a tick-mark appeared on his head.

"OI! YOU'RE FORGETING SOMEONE!" Usopp hollered, notching a ball into his slingshot, pointing it at them, lowering it, and bowing in apology upon seeing Lucci glaring at him, "I'm sorry. Please carry on."

"WHAT THE HELL?!" Franky exclaimed, barring his teeth, the tick-mark growing bigger, and snapping his teeth at Usopp, "IF YOU AIN'T GONNA HELP THEN DON'T GO GETTING MY HOPES UP, JERK!"

"You're one of the Straw Hats." Kaku recalled, turning his head towards Usopp, noticing the Going Merry anchored in the cannel that was inside the building, frowning, and stepping towards it, "You still haven't disposed of this piece of crap yet?"

"IT'S NOT A PIECE OF CRAP AND IT'S NOT YOUR SHIP! GET AWAY FROM HER!" Usopp fumed, noticing Kaku walking over to the Merry, beginning to charge at him, only to have Kalifa attack him, and falling to the ground, "DON'T YOU D…GAHHH!"

"FINGER-PISTOL!" Kalifa chanted, spotting Usopp going after Kaku, using Finger-Pistol on him, tying him up, and keeping him in place with her foot, "You're coming with us. It is our duty to hand Pirates over to the Government."

"This lever releases the water." Kaku spoke, finding a lever by the cannel, pulling the lever down, and standing back up.

"STOP! DON'T DO IT!" Usopp wailed, tears falling down his face, stretching out his arm towards Merry, and widening his eyes in horror as the Going Merry floated into the ocean, "NOOOO!"

(***********************************************************************************)

To Nami, Shadow, and Chopper

"ICEBERG'S AWAKE!" a Galley-La worker shouted, seeing Iceberg open his eyes, and pumping his hands into the air.

"That reindeer saved me and Paulie." Iceberg claimed, opening his eyes, and sitting-up.

"But…that's the Straw-Hats' pet." a 2nd Galley-La worker puzzled, standing beside Iceberg, and scrunching his eyebrows together in confusion.

"Go help put out the fire." Iceberg instructed, standing-up, breathing-heavily, stumbling over to Nami, and sitting down beside her, "I want to talk with those 3 alone."

"But…" the 2 Galley-Law workers uttered, a look of concern etched onto their faces, staring at Iceberg, nodding after a few seconds, and rushing to help the others put out the fire, "Alright. Let us know if you need us, Boss."

"I'm sorry for assuming that you guys were trying to kill me." Iceberg apologized, sitting down beside Nami, and the corner of his lips lifted up into a half-smile, "I'll take care of it later, for now I'd like to ask you a question. Did Nico Robin start acting strange when you came to Water 7?"

"Yeah. Everything was fine until she and Chopper went to buy books at a bookstore in town. She suddenly vanished without even entering the bookshop." Nami nodded, waking-up, sitting-up, and bowing her head, "When my friends spotted her, she said she wasn't coming back to the crew. We only came here to find out why she would say that."

"If she really is your friend like I think she is, there's only one possible explanation for her behavior." Iceberg informed, closing his eyes, sighing, opening them, and giving Nami, Shadow, and Chopper a serious-expression, "Before I tell you my theory, there's something you should know. Did Nico Robin tell you why the World Government put a bounty on her head when she was a child?"

"No." Shadow admitted, waking-up, sitting beside Nami, and furrowing her eyebrows together in concern, "We just figured it was because she allied herself with pirates."

"I figured as such." Iceberg sighed, closing his eyes, bending his head downwards, and speaking-solemnly, "She came from an island called O'Hara. The people from O'Hara were the only ones who could read the Ponegliffs."

"What do you mean were?" Chopper asked, waking-up, sitting beside Nami, and bunching his eyebrows together in puzzlement.

"The World Government ordered O'Hara and all its inhabitants to be eliminated. She's the sole survivor from that tragedy." Iceberg continued, resting his hands on top of each other, and dark-shadows crossed his face, "The World Government wants both me and Nico Robin."

"I get that the World Government wants her because she's able to decipher the Ponegliffs." Nami mentioned, biting her lip, and scrunching her eyebrows together in confusion, "What I don't get is why."

"She and I are only ones that have the knowledge capable of bringing a weapon into the world." Iceberg confessed, a pained-expression etched onto his face, and bowing his head even lower in shame, "Whether she has any interest in it or not won't matter if she gets caught in the wrong hands."

"SO YOU'RE SAYING THE GOVERNMENT WANTS TO ACTIVATE A WEAPON?!" Chopper exclaimed, widening his eyes in shock, and scowling, "THAT'S CRAZY! WHY WOULD ROBIN HELP THE GOVERNMENT?! SHE HATES THEM?!"

"I asked her that same question. The reason that she was able to evade the Government until now was because she didn't have anything they could leverage over her. What makes this time different is she actually has friends she would protect, even if it meant sacrificing herself." Iceberg chuckled-faintly, opening his eyes, and his lips quirking upwards, "Robin shed some light onto what happened on O'Hara all those years ago. The Government issued a Buster Call."

"A Buster Call? What's that?" Shadow inquired, furrowing her eyebrows together in confusion, and tilting her head sideway.

"It's an order given to Navy HQ to send the Vice Admirals and 10 Warships to eliminate their target completely off the face of the earth. Everything is destroyed." Iceberg elaborated, the smile vanishing from his face, and lowering his head, "They threatened to use it against you guys if she didn't comply. She was 8-years-old at the time O'Hara was destroyed."

"No wonder she's terrified out of her mind. That would traumatize anyone, let alone a child." Nami gasped, glaring ahead, standing up, and clenching her fist, "I'm relieved. Chopper, Shadow, let's find the others. It's time to kick their asses and get Robin back."

"Even though you guys already lost, you still want to go after Nico Robin?" Iceberg blustered, widening his eyes in shock, and staring up at them in disbelief.

"You think that was us fighting earlier? We haven't even begun to fight yet." Shadow disclosed, smirking, standing-up, and dark-shadows crossed her face, "They know Robin is terrified of a Buster Call and they're using that against her. We're kicking their ass."

"When someone messes with one of us, they mess with all of us." Chopper added, standing-up, scowling, and glaring, "We're getting Robin back."

(***********************************************************************************)

To Sanji

There's got to be a reason why Robin is cooperating with the World Government. Sanji thought, leaning against a brick-wall, hiding, and lighting a cigarette, I bet she'll be on the that train. I just have to figure out a way to get on it…is that Usopp?

"UNHAND ME YOU BASTARDS!" Usopp hollered, tied into a sack, being carried over Blueno's shoulder, barring his teeth, and a tick-mark appeared on his head.

"You were wise to surrender, Nico Robin." Benny smirked, jumping off the train, landing in front of her, and shoving her towards the train, "You didn't have much choice though, did you? Who would've thought, the Demon of O'Hara had a heart? I mean, you could've let your friends die from the Buster-Call, but you gave yourself up instead. Anyways, we better get a move on. The train will be leaving in 30 minutes."

"I'M GONNA COUNT TO 10 AND THEN IT'S GONNA GET UGLY!" Franky warned, barring his teeth, a tick-mark etched onto his head, and being dragged by Kaku.

"Do you ever shut-up?" Kaku inquired, backfist-punching Franky on the head, tossing Franky up into the train, and turning to Benny, "Where's Nero?"

"He's already on the train." Benny replied, putting Sea-prism-stone-hand-cuffs onto Robin's wrist, jerking her to a stop, answering Kaku, and shoving Robin towards the train.

I get it now. Sanji thought, puffing out smoke, narrowing his eyes at Benny, and noticing Usopp, Even though he's no longer part of the crew, I still feel obligated to help the Idiot.

(*********************************************************************************)

To Nami, Shadow, and Chopper

"WAIT!" Iceberg ordered, gaining their attention, and telling them a crucial-detail, "If you're going after Robin, she'll be on the Sea-Train. But you have to hurry. It'll leave in 30 minutes to Enies Lobby. Additionally that's the last departure for the day."

"That's not a lot of time." Nami remarked, stopping upon hearing Iceberg call to them, turning her body to face him, frowning, and glancing at the sky, "We don't have time to search for Luffy, Zoro and the others."

"Not by yourselves you won't." Paulie offered, waking-up, sitting-up, and puffing out smoke from his cigar, "We'll help you find Straw-Hat and Zoro."

"WHAAATT?!" the Galley-La workers exclaimed, widening their eyes, and shutting their mouths once they saw the glare Paulie was sending them, "B-BUT…"

"THE STRAW-HATS WEREN'T THE ONES WHO WERE TRYING TO KILL ICEBERG! THEY WERE FRAMED BY THE ACTUAL CULPRITS!" Paulie announced, standing-up, and glaring at the workers, "IF IT WEREN'T FOR THESE 3, ICEBERG AND I WOULD BE DEAD! NOW STOP YER YAPPING AND GET HELPING THEM!"

"Yes, sir." the Galley-La workers relented, swallowing, and helping Chopper, Nami, and Shadow find Luffy and Zoro.

(***********************************************************************************)

To Franky, and Usopp

"STAY THERE AND SHUT UP!" a Government Soldier barked, tossing Franky into a room on the train, slamming the door shut, and locking it behind him after Usopp was tossed into the room.

"Just sit tight. It won't be long." a 2nd Government Soldier cackled, tossing Usopp into the room, and walking away.

DUE TO SEVERE WEATHER CONDITIONS, THE SEA TRAIN WILL BE DEPARTING WATER 7 MOMENTARILY

"I HAVE A BETTER IDEA!" Franky spat, hitting his head against the wooden-crates, barring his teeth, and a tick-mark flashed on his head, "HOW'BOUT I SHOVE MY FOOT UP YOUR ASS, YOU GOVERNMENT SHITHEADS!"

"OI, THAT'S TAKING IT A BIT FAR, DON'T YOU THINK?!" Usopp scolded, smacking the air with his hand, and a sweatdrop appeared on his head, Although, they did destroy Merry.

(***********************************************************************************)

To Ivy and Zoro

"I SAID WE'RE GOING LEFT, MORON!" I chastised, rushing beside Zoro, barring my teeth at him when he started going the wrong way, and a tick-mark appeared on my head, "DO I NEED TO HOLD YOUR HAND LIKE A FREAKING CHILD?!"

"I KNOW WHERE I'M GOING!" Zoro bickered, barring his teeth, a tick-marked flashed on his head, sprinting alongside me, skidding to a halt upon hearing a loud-voice, and furrowing his eyebrows together in concentration, "MAYBE IF YOU GIVE BETTER DIRECTIONS…you hear that?"

"DON'T EV…now that you mention it." I trailed off, skidding to a halt, listening for something, hearing a loud-voice, scanning the area for the owner, a sweatdrop appeared on my head as I spotted Luffy stuck between two buildings, and pointing a finger towards him, "Where is that coming from? Look, up there."

"We found Luffy." Zoro intoned, glancing at where I was pointing at, a sweatdrop appeared on his head, and dashing over to him, "He got himself stuck. What a moron."

Coming from the guy who got stuck head-first inside a chimney…I thought-deadpanned, slanting my eyes, a large-sweatdrop appeared on my head, and walking over to him "How do we get him unstuck?"

"Hey guys." Luffy greeted, waving his hand at us, and grinning down at us, "I could use a little help."

(**********************************************************************************)

To Robin

All of you accepted me as your friend even though I did horrible things…I wish I could stay with you all. I guess it just wasn't meant to be. Robin thought, leaning against the train's window, covering her face with her hands, thinking back at all we've been through, and blinking back tears, Doing this one good thing in my life is worth it, if it means every single one of you will be safe from harm.

(***********************************************************************************)

To Nami

"Was that a steam-whistle I just heard?" Nami asked, cupping her hand to her ear, riding a Yagura, and hearing the train-whistle go off, "It hasn't been 30 minutes yet, has it?"

"No. They're probably moving up the departure time cause of the storm." Paulie replied, frowning, hearing the whistle, riding a Yagura, pulling to a stop on the sidewalk, and pointing a finger towards the train-station, "We're here. JUMP DOWN THE STAIRS! TAKE THE MIDDLE ENTRANCE ! HURRY!"

"Thanks. ROBIN DON'T GO! YOU DON'T HAVE TO SACRIFICE YOURSELF FOR US! WE CAN HELP YOU!" Nami thanked, leaping off the Yagura, bolting down the stairs, shouting at the top of her voice, widening her eyes upon seeing the train already leaving, and falling to her knees, "NOO!"

"I'm sorry about your friend…" Paulie broke-off, walking over to her, and sighing-heavily, "Are you crying…"

"HOW SELFISH CAN SHE BE?!" Nami fumed, standing up, barring her teeth, a tick-mark appeared on her head, and pumping her fist up into the air, "I'M GONNA GIVE HER A PIECE OF MY MIND WHEN WE GET HER BACK!"

"HOLY CRAP!" Paulie and the two train-station-employees exclaimed, standing beside each other, jaws hanging open, and throwing their hands up into the air, "SHE'S PISSED!"

"Give me a ship. A big, strong one." Nami ordered, standing up, and glaring-intently at Paulie, "I need to teach those Government asses a lesson."

"ARE YOU CRAZY, YOU CAN'T SAIL IN THIS WEATHER?!" Paulie bickered, crossing his arms against his chest, and shaking his head, "ATTEMPTING TO SAIL DURING AQUA LAGUNA IS SUICIDE!"

"I WON'T LET ROBIN THROW HER LIFE AWAY…WAAA…!" Nami began, trailing off upon seeing a huge-wave crashing towards them, being lifted up by Paulie, Paulie getting them out of the way, and sitting on the steps of the train-station, "Thanks."

That gigantic-train-schedule-billboard was ripped apart by that wave and the storm hasn't even hit yet. Paulie thought, narrowing his eyes, sitting on the steps of the train stations, and lighting up a cigar, That has never happened before. What's with the strength of these tides?

"Is Robin safe aboard the Sea-Train?" Nami inquired, glimpsing the Train-Time-board, and bunching her eyebrows together in worry.

"The train can handle getting hit by that type of wave." Paulie assured, leaning back against the steps, and puffing out smoke from his cigar, "It should be long-gone before the storm hits."

That's a relief. Nami thought, sighing in relief, and turning her head towards a Train-Station-Employee when they called for her.

"You're Nami, right?" the 1st-train-station-employee guessed, taking out a piece of paper, and standing in front of her, "Someone left this for you. I think it was one of your Crewmates."

"That's me." Nami answered, taking the paper from the guy, and frowning, "How did you find something that small?"

"Cause of that." the 2nd-train-station-employee deadpanned, pointing to a wall where Sanji had wrote on, and sitting down beside Paulie.

ONE OF THESE DAYS I SWEAR, I'M GONNA KILL THAT IDIOT! Nami thought-irked, a gigantic-tick-mark appeared on her head, reading the letter, and her eyebrow twitching in irritation, Of course that dumbass would write me a crappy-love-letter. What do you know, the moron isn't hopeless afterall. He bought us time by going on the train after Robin…Huh? Usopp is on there too? And a thug with weird-hair? That must be Franky.

"This was with it." the 1st-train-station-employee added, handing her Transponder-Snail, and sitting down beside the other Train-Station-Employee.

"I get it. He'll contact us through this once he gets Robin." Nami grinned, putting the note and transponder-snail away, hope shining in her eyes, and rushing off to find the rest of us, "As long as Robin has Sanji, she'll be fine until we can get to Enies Lobby."

(***********************************************************************************)

To Sanji

Shit. I can't even smoke because of these damn waves shaking this crappy train. Sanji thought, sitting on the train-railing, only to have a guy come out of the train, and kicking him, "COLLIER SHOOT!"

"Did you guys hear that?" a marine-Solider voiced, hearing a commotion outside, being thrown backwards by the door busting opened by Sanji, standing-up, and glaring at Sanji, "WHO THE HELL ARE YOU?!"

"GO REPORT TO LUCCI THAT WE HAVE SUSPICIOUS PERSON ABOARD THE TRAIN!" another Marine-Soldier barked, standing beside the 1st Marine-Soldier, and pointing his gun at Sanji.

"There's no reason to get the CP9 involved." a CP6 agent dismissed, crouching over since he was so tall, and smirking down at Sanji, "I can take care of him myself."

"THAT'S RIGHT! WE HAVE JERRY!" the 1st-Marine-Soldier cheered, and backing away, "HE'S THE UNBEATABLE-BOXING CHAMP!"

"I prefer karate." Sanji intoned, stepping into the train-car, and lighting a cigarette.

"If you're lucky enough to handle my punches, then maybe I'll show some." Jerry bragged, swinging his fist down at Sanji, and looking between his legs to find Sanji behind him, "I'm not at a disadvantage because I'm so tall and this train is so tiny."

"You're tall, I'll give you that. But you're definitely not as tall as that Arlong-Fish-Bastard." Sanji commented, jumping behind Jerry, crouching on top of the train-seats, dodging his attack, and puffing out smoke.

"My boxing-technique has the advantage in these tiny spaces." Jerry bragged, turning around, and pulling his legs up over his head, "YOGA STYLE!"

"YOU JUST SHORTNED YOUR REACH, DUMBASS!" Sanji noted, barring his teeth, and a tick-mark appeared on his head.

"Heh." Jerry smirked-darkly, pinning his legs closed, spinning his body at Sanji, and kicking Sanji with his feet, "SCHOOL-ROCKET!"

"THAT MOVE GOES AGAINST EVERY RULE OF BOXING, YOU CHEATER!" Sanji accused, dodging Jerry's attack, barring his teeth, the tick-mark growing bigger, kicking Jerry, and knocking him out, "I DON'T HAVE TIEM FOR THIS CRAP!"

TO BE CONTINUED…
