Chapter

"This is so awesome." I grinned, snapping photos of the underwater-cannel, standing beside Nami, and glancing around in awe, "We're on the underwater-cannel."

"GAH! WATER UP MY NOSE!" Luffy coughed, sitting outside on top of the train, water splashing up his nose, and scrunching his face up.

"WHAT DID YOU EXPECT WAS GONNA HAPPEN, MORON!" Nami scolded, barring her teeth, a tick-mark appeared on her head, and sticking her head out the window, "GET INSIDE BEFORE I DRAG YOU IN, DUMBASS!"

"Exit straight ahead, folks." Kokoro spoke, her voice echoing from the speaker, and laughing, "HANG ON TIGHT AS WE FLY OUT OF THE CANNEL!"

"DID SHE SAY FLY?!" Chopper repeated, his face going pale, sticking his head out of the window, and his eyes going out of their sockets upon seeing the train high up in the air, "GYAAA! WE'RE GONNA DIE!"

"STRAW HAT!" Kiev shouted, the Franky-Family riding their King-Bulls behind us, grinning at us, and attaching chains on the back of the train, "WE'LL FOREVER BE IN YOUR DEBT!"

"I couldn't care less if they tagged along," Zoro grumbled, holding a bottle in his hands, sitting down on the floor, and taking a swig of alcohol, "But would it have killed them to change their outfits before coming?"

"Is it really safe to let a drunk drive the train?" Shadow questioned, raising an eyebrow at us, and a sweatdrop appeared on her head.

"Iceberg trusts Kokoro otherwise he wouldn't let her anywhere near a train." Nami reasoned, shrugging her shoulders, and standing beside me.

"ATTENTION ALL PASSENGERS!" Kokoro's voice rang through the train's speaker, and cackling-humorously, "WE'LL BE LANDING ON THE TRAIN-TRACKS! BRACE FOR IMPACT! WE WANT TO KEEP THE INJURIES TO A MININUM SO FIND SOMETHING TO HOLD ONTO!"

We'd still be injured regardless. I thought, sweatdropping, feeling the train fly in the air before crashing down onto the tracks, turning green, putting my hand to my mouth, bolting towards the window, sticking my head out of the window, and upchucking, I think I'm gonna…hurl.

"Isn't that Chimney and Gonbe?" Shadow asked, spotting the pair hanging on the front of the train, and pointing a finger at them, "I guessed they followed us."

"CHIMNEY! GONBE! I THOUGHT I TOLD YOU TO STAY BACK AT WATER 7?!" Kokoro exclaimed, spotting them as well, widening her eyes, and dark-shadows of fright appeared across her face, "SOMEONE GET THEM INSIDE THE TRAIN BEFORE THEY BLOW AWAY!"

"What a pain in the ass." Zoro muttered, climbing out of the train, grabbing them by the back of their necks, slipping back into the train, tossing them onto the ground, sitting back down on the ground, noticing Paulie, Lulu, and Tilestone had snuck onto the train, crossing his arms against his chest, closing his eyes, and his eyebrow twitching in irritation, "Stay put, you two…I feel like there's more people in here than what we started with…"

"What do you mean?" Lulu and Tilestone inquired, sitting down on the ground, and crossing their arms against their chest.

"HE MEANS YOU, YOU MORONS!" Paulie stated, sitting down beside Zoro, crossing his arms against his chest, barring his teeth, and a large tick-mark appeared on his head.

"I MEAN YOU TOO, IDIOT!" Zoro bickered, barring his teeth, crossing his arms against his chest, and a tick-mark appeared on his head.

"I figured you pirates could use me if things get dicey." Paulie admitted, puffing out smoke from his cigar, and shadows-crossed his face, "Besides, there's something I wanna say to those bastards."

"We sensed there was something you weren't telling us," Lulu noted, frowning-slightly, and crossing his arm against his chest, "We decided to find out for ourselves."

"WE SNEAKED ONTO THE TRAIN WHEN NOBODY WAS LOOKING!" Tilestone bellowed, his loud-voice echoing against the walls, and raising his arms up into the air.

"We already figured out who the real culprits are, Paulie." Lulu claimed, crossing his arms against his chest, and sighing, "Go ahead and confirm our suspicions. We won't be surprised."

"Since you're here I might as well tell you." Paulie sighed, puffing out smoke from his cigar, and shadows-covered his face, "The ones who tried killing Iceberg are Lucci, Kaku, Kalifa, Blueno, and Benny."

"WHAAAATTTT!" Lulu and Tilestone exclaimed, their eyes going out of their sockets, their jaws dropping opened, and their hair sticking straight-up.

"I THOUGHT YOU SAID YOU KNEW WHO IT WAS!" Paulie accused, barring his teeth, and smacking the air with his hand.

"YOU TOLD US THEY WENT BACK HOME FOR PERSONAL MATTERS!" Tilestone recited, sitting down beside Lulu, and listing who they thought it was, "WE THOUGHT IT WAS MICHAEL AND HOYKER FROM THE BACKSTREETS!"

"WHO THE HELL ARE THEY?!" Paulie questioned, barring his teeth, and a tick-mark appeared on his head.

"Each of us has been fooled by the same enemy. Now that we know the truth, it's time for us to fight back." Luffy spoke, swallowing a piece of meat, and a rare-serious-expression appeared on his face, "The rest of you can go after anyone you want, except for that pigeon-bastard. HE'S MINE AND I'M KICKING HIS ASS!"

"This fight is about getting back what they took from us." Chopper added, scrunching his eyebrows together, and helping shovel coal into the engine, "We won't stop until we get our friends back."

THAT MUST BE AQUA LAGUNA! Nami thought, feeling a gust of cold-air, rushing to the train-window, spotting a massive-wave heading towards us, and finally noticing Kokoro standing inside the room, "SHOULDN'T YOU BE IN THE CONTROL ROOM GETTING US AWAY FROM THAT WAVE?!"

"Rocket-Man can't be controlled. I'm only here to get the train onto the tracks." Kokoro stated, entering the room, and taking a swig from her bottle, "The reason why Rocket-Man never became the main Sea-Train is because the breaks never worked. It's impossible to stop it now."

"EHHH!" Nami exclaimed, clapping her hands to her face, widening her eyes, smacking the air with her hand, and barring her teeth, "YOU SHOULD HAVE TOLD US THAT EARLIER!"

"All of us have the same enemy. There's no point in us fighting separately. We'll fight them together." Luffy declared, sticking his hand out in front of him, grabbing onto Zambai's wrist, and Paulie grabbing onto Luffy's wrist, "Before we fight, I'm two crewmembers short. They're on the train with Robin. Once we get them, we'll be able to fight with full-strength."

"FRANKY-FAMILY! GALLEY-LA! STRAW-HATS! LET'S GO TAKE CARE OF THAT WAVE!" I commanded, rushing towards the train-window, and beginning to run towards the boiler-room only to freeze in my steps when I heard a voice inside my head, My powers are useless right now. The only thing I can do is…

You wish to be of use to your friends. a female-voice echoed in my head, smirking, I can assist you in that problem.

How? I thought, frowning, and narrowing my eyes, Who are you?

All will be revealed in time, the voice insinuated-slyly, Only this once am I willing to lend you some of my power. Go outside and focus on the wave.

I hesitantly slid out onto the train. Standing on top of the train, I swallowed down nerves as I faced the wave. Shutting my eyes as I took a deep breath before focusing on the wave. For a few seconds nothing happened, then suddenly the massive-wave split in half. Beads of sweat formed on my forehead as I attempted to hold back the waves. Feeling a strong-hand placed on my shoulder, I glanced up to see Luffy and Zoro had come onto the train.

"Zoro and I got this." Luffy assured, placing his hand on my shoulder, nodding his head-slightly down at me, stretching me back into the room, and turning to face the waves, "Hey Zoro, what's 108 X 2?"

"216." Zoro answered, standing beside Luffy, and unsheathing his swords.

"That's too long." Luffy complained, swinging his arm back, and frowning at Zoro, "Can't we round up?"

"If I remember right, that would make it…300." Zoro concluded, staring at the wave, glancing over to Luffy, and raising an eyebrow over at him, "That work for you?"

"Sounds good." Luffy smirked, nodding his head, and getting into his fighting-stance, "GUM-GUM!"

"300 CALIBER!" Zoro chanted, getting into his fighting stance, and smirking.

"CANNON!" Zoro and Luffy chanted in sync, attacking the waves, and effectively stopping the waves.

"IVY!" Shadow exclaimed, seeing me panting-heavily, rushing over to me with Chopper right behind her, crouching beside me, noticing how I held back the wave, scrunching her eyebrows together in concern, and speaking-faintly, "How did you do that to the wave?"

"I…honestly don't know." I admitted, resting against the wall, breathing-heavily, scrunching my eyebrows together in puzzlement, and letting Chopper look me over, "I heard a voice. It told me what to do."

A voice? The only thing powerful enough to control something like that wave is… Shadow thought, narrowing her eyes at me, widening her eyes when she thought of something, and her face going pale, DON'T TELL ME…THIS ISN'T GOOD!

"She just over-exerted herself." Chopper diagnosed, giving me a stern-look, and tapping my forehead with his hooves, "You are going to rest. Doctor's orders."

"Aye-Aye, Doc." I mock-saluted, smiling, and resting my eyes.

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

To Sanji, Usopp, and Franky

"NAMI! CAN YOU HEAR ME?!" Sanji grilled, sitting on top of the Puffing-Tom, holding a Transponder-Snail, and a sweatdrop appeared on his head, "Things have gotten…complicated."

"WAHH!" Usopp shrieked, standing on top of the Puffing-Tom with Franky, almost blowing away, and Franky catching him, "I'M GONNA DIE!"

"DON'T WORRY, BRO!" Franky assured, standing on top of the Puffing-Tom, and catching Usopp, "BRO FRANKY HAS GOT YOUR BACK!"

"I can hardly hear you." Nami voiced, speaking through the Transponder-Snail, and barely hearing Usopp in the background, "Is there someone with you?"

"Just some annoying dumbass." Sanji deadpanned, glancing towards them, and a sweatdrop manifested onto his head, "I've had to make a slight adjustment in my plan."

"WAHH! FRANKY-OVERBOARD!" Franky hollered, almost-blowing away, Usopp's eyes going out of their sockets, and Franky catching himself before he flew off the train, "THAT WAS SUPER CLOSE!"

"Was that someone screaming just now? What's going on, Sanji?" Nami probed, speaking through the Transponder-Snail, and a look of concern came onto her face.

"Make that Dumbasses." Sanji intoned, barring his teeth, and a tick-mark etched onto his head, "SHUT UP, MORONS!"

"We know why Robin is working with CP9." Nami informed, speaking into the Transponder-Snail, and a somber-expression on her face, "She's sacrificing herself for us."

"I know. I overheard those CP9 bastards taunting Robin before I sneak onto the train." Sanji claimed, scowling, and puffing out smoke from his cigarette, "Let me talk to Luffy."

"Luffy come here." Nami called, passing the Transponder-Snail over to him, "Sanji wants to talk to you."

"Did you save Robin yet?" Luffy inquired, speaking through the Transponder-Snail, and holding it in his hand.

"Still working on that." Sanji confessed, "Listen Luffy, Nami told me everything. Just say the word, Captain."

"Give them hell, Sanji." Luffy ordered, speaking into the Transponder-Snail, and grinning, "Keep them busy until we get there."

"HE DOESN'T KNOW WHAT HE'S UP AGAINST!" Zoro objected, his voice coming from the Transponder-Snail, "TELL FANCY-BROWS TO WAIT FOR US!"

"JUST BECAUSE YOU GOT YOUR ASS KICKED, MOSS-HEAD DOESN'T MEAN I WILL!" Sanji bickered, barring his teeth, and a tick-mark appeared on his head, "If I didn't know any better I'd say you're worried about me."

"LIKE HELL I AM!" Zoro bantered, barring his teeth, and a tick-mark appeared on his head, "I HOPE THEY KILL YOU!"

"It's fine, Zoro." Luffy assured, grinning, and raising an eyebrow over at him, "Would you be sitting around while Robin is in danger?"

"None of us would." Sanji grinned, crushing the Transponder-Snail in his hands, "Even if Luffy had told me to wait for you guys, now that I know the reason why Robin is acting this way, I would have to disobey my Captain's orders."

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

Back to the Rocket-Man

"She's gonna be ok, right Chopper?" Luffy questioned, sliding into the room, pursing his lips as he sat beside me, and glancing over at Chopper.

"She just needs some rest." Chopper assured, nodding his head, and frowning-slightly in puzzlement, It's weird though. When I listened to her heart, it was beating abnormally fast. If it were anybody else, I'd be concerned. But she seems fine.

"We knew you guys were strong, but damn Sis," Mozu whistled, walking over to me, clapping me on the back, and peering at me in awe.

"You said it. It's hard to believe such a short-person like you has that tremendous amount of power inside you." Kiwi mused, walking over to me, and looking impressed, "Are all your crewmembers this strong?"

"Yup." Shadow spoke, standing beside me, and smirking, "We may be a small group, but we make up for it in strength. What you saw the other day when we fought you was only a small-glimpse of what we're capable of. None of us were going full-out that day."

WAHHH! IF THAT WAS THEM GOING EASY, I'D HATE TO SEE THEM GOING ALL OUT! Zambai thought, his eyes going out of their sockets, eavesdropping on the conversation, sticking his hand up into the air, and sweat-beads appeared on his face, It makes me glad we decided to become friends with the Straw-Hats.

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

Back To Sanji, Franky, and Usopp

"I WANTED TO TALK TO STRAW-HAT TOO!" Franky grumbled, barring his teeth, and a tick-mark appeared on his head.

"You should've said something earlier." Sanji deadpanned, tossing the broken-Transponder-Snail into the sea, and slipping his hand into the pockets of his pants.

"WHEN SHOULD I HAVE SPOKEN-UP? WHILE YOU WERE ON THE PHONE?!" Franky questioned, barring his teeth, and a tick-mark appeared on his head, "IT'S RUDE TO INTERRUPT SOMEONE WHILE THEY'RE ON THE PHONE!"

"I sure missed a lot." Usopp remarked, sitting down on the top of the train, sitting crossed-legged, and dark-shadows crossed his face, "Robin turning herself into the World Government just proves she's our friend."

"I ALWAYS THOUGHT ROBIN WAS A MONSTER! TURNS OUT SHE'S A GOOD PERSON! WAHHHH!" Franky bawled, snot running out of his nose, tears falling down his face, and pulling out his guitar, "MY HEART…IT'S TOO MUCH! WAHHH!"

"Why are you crying?" Sanji questioned, a sweatdrop appeared on his head, and raising an eyebrow.

"I'M NOT CRYING, IDIOT!" Franky denied, sobbing into a hanky, putting his hand up, and laying face-down on the roof of the train.

I have to rescue Robin before it's too late. Sanji thought, puffing out smoke from his cigarette, and staring ahead of him, If worse comes to worse, I'll just buy time for the others to get here.

"I'll admit your tough, Eyebrow, Bro. But not even you can take on all those Navy Agents on all 7 Train-carts all by yourself. I want to help too." Franky offered, standing up, and turning to Usopp, "OI, Long-Nose. Let's go kick some ass."

"No." Usopp rejected, speaking-softly, turning his back to them, and walking away, "Don't get me wrong, I feel awful about Robin. But anything that has to do with the Straw-Hats, doesn't concern me anymore. I'm sorry."

"WHAT KIND OF…" Franky began, glaring at Usopp's back, and breaking off when Sanji spoke.

"Let him go." Sanji instructed, and sighing, "He's right. We can't make him help us since he isn't part of the crew anymore."

"Seriously?" Franky bewildered, grumbling under his breath, and shaking his head, "There's a time and a place to be stubborn. This isn't one of em."

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

Back to The Rocket-Man

"OI, MONSTER-GRANNY!" Luffy called, pumping his arms, and frowning at her, "Can't this train go faster? We're in a hurry."

"It's already past its maximum speed." Kokoro denied, shaking her head, and taking a swig from her bottle, "I'm not even sure it can be stopped."

"Ivy?" Nami suggested, noticing me staring out the window with a worried look, padding over to me, setting her hand on my shoulder, nodding her head towards the control-room, and leading me there, "Let's go get changed out of these clothes."

"Hmm?" I hummed, glancing at Nami once I felt her presence, didn't know she was talking to me until she placed her hand on my shoulder, shaking myself out of the trance, and following her, "Yeah, sounds good."

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

Back to the Puffing Tom

"THE PRISONERS HAVE ESCAPED!" a Marine shouted, searching the train-car, spotting an opened-window, rushing over to it, sticking his head out, and spotting Franky and Sanji, "THEY'RE ON THE ROOF!"

"DAMMIT, THEY SPOTTED US!" Sanji accused, turning to Franky, and glaring, "DIDN'T YOU SHUT THE WINDOW?!"

"I THOUGHT YOU DID!" Franky countered, glaring right back, and getting into his fighting-stance.

"METALLIC-STAR!" Usopp chanted, dressed up as Sniper-King, appearing out of nowhere, setting a silver-ball into his slingshot, and firing at the Marine.

That was one of Usopp's attacks. Sanji thought, watching as the Marine stumbled off the train, turning his head towards Usopp's direction, and a sweatdrop appeared on his head as he saw Usopp dressed up, Why is he in that ridiculous get-up?

"HAVE NO FEAR! SNIPER-KING IS HERE!" Usopp declared, lowering his voice, resting his hands on his hips, walking over to Franky and Sanji, and gripping his sling-shot over his shoulder, "A mutual friend of ours told me you fellows are planning a rescue mission to save a certain mademoiselle. Allow me to assist you in your mission."
