Finding themselves frozen, the survivors of the camp struggled to register the news that had just been spoken. Yet, believe it or not, there was a horde of zombies advancing towards them. In addition, given the state of the portal and the rest of the wall, now as perforated as a Swiss cheese, it was obvious that the monsters will have no trouble joining them.

"It's a joke? How did they go?"

"The other zombie must have destroyed the barriers that secured the area."

" It is necessary to prepare the weapons. " Someone shouted. " These zombies are normal! We can kill them with our guns. "

Suddenly being heard, heavy footsteps seemed to approach the camp. Eventually, easily noticed because of their size, a few giant zombies appeared.

" Gi… Giants ! " Cried a guard, stepping back. " But what are these huge monsters ? "

Suddenly leaping over the perimeter wall, a figure crept up behind the man before he could hear it. Feeling a pair of arms grab his head, the man immediately found himself bitten by one of the lizardmen, who came passing over the walls, while dozens of zombies were already passing through. the breaches. Within a minute, several of them had finally made their way into the mansion's courtyard, while many were struggling to organize themselves to push them away.

" Quickly ! Prepare the guns, and rocket launchers. " Ordered a guard

" To do what ? These monsters are far too numerous. " Someone else noticed.

" Better to go ! " Observed a woman.

Nevertheless, a huge hand suddenly fell on them. Lifting them easily, a giant finally opened his jaws before wedging them in his mouth. A terrible sound of broken bones was then heard, causing real panic among the survivors.

" Run to the mansion. " Someone ordered.

" It is necessary to barricade the place, quickly. "

'' But even doing that, we're going to die. "

" Shut up and do as you are told ! "

Then fleeing in the direction of the building, ten people tried to sneak between the many zombies who were already trying to surround them.

Seeing them flee, Naomi cried out.

" What do we do ? "

Picking up his sabers, Zoro glared at the horde before declaring.

" Kill them all. "

" No, let's get out of here. " Nami ordered. " If another zombie 5 arrives, we will be in a big mess. "

" And how ? " Asked Rei. " They've already managed to surround the mansion. "

" We take the mini-bus and we leave quickly. " Franky decided, putting Luffy's body on his shoulder. " Then we'll see what we can do for Luffy. "

" Go ? " Saya wondered, turning to her house. " No, I can't leave without them."

Suddenly running, the young girl rushed towards the mansion, in search of her parents.

" Saya ! " Takashi cried, seeing her flee.

" I'm going with her. " Kohta announced. " We'll meet you on the bus. "

Hesitant for a few moments, the rest of the group suddenly heard heavy footsteps provoked by several giant zombies, pulverizing the surrounding wall without the slightest problem.

" They… They are five. " Yamada scared.

" Go for it ! I'm taking care of it. " Chopper announced.

Running immediately towards the newcomers, he ends up swallowing a rumble-ball before feeling a source of energy appear. Beginning to grow, he transformed a new into a huge monster resembling the fusion of a reindeer and a yeti. Seeing him exceed ten meters high, each of the high school students began to step back, surprised to witness such a transformation.

" Oh my God ! " Tsunoda cried.

" He is huge. " Yuuki said.

'' He ... He knows how to control this form ? " Mizusu wanted to know.

To answer his question, Chopper suddenly closed one of his fists and sent an uppercut straight at the face of one of the giants. Hitting him head-on, he knocked the monster back, causing it to crash into a multitude of zombies.

" Go! " He repeated. " I'm joining you. "

" Great , in this form, Chopper is invincible. " Usopp asserted.

" Perhaps, but we must not forget that he will no longer be able to move his body as soon as three minutes have collapsed. " Robin retorted.

" In this case, we don't have a minute to lose. " Sanji announced. " Let's go to the garage and get Chopper from here. "

" O ... Okay ! "

But as everyone passed in front of her, Robin stood still, noting the non-presence of a few people.

"Where are Taniuchi and Kawamoto?" S he wanted to know.

"No idea!" Takuzo confessed to him. " I haven't seen them for a while."

"Miura is not here either." Kurokami remarked.

Hearing this, the young woman then began to grow wings on her back.

"Robin!" C alled her Nami. " What are you doing?"

"Sorry, but I have to go get them." S he announced to her.

Understanding what she wanted to talk about, Nami nodded before telling her.

"You have three minutes to find them."

"I will do it as soon as possible." S he assured, flying away.

"Go, everyone to the garage." Zoro ordered, starting to run towards the building.

The next one immediately, everyone started to flee. However, neither could see the strange creature watching them in the distance, with four pairs of eyes.

Suddenly crushing a zombie's skull with an adjustable wrench, Miura saw the undead fall at his feet, as he began to scream.

"Mom ! Mary ! You hear me ?"

All he could hear were screams of fear and pain, as the slaughter seemed to befall all around him. People were running, others were pushing each other, a few people were shooting everywhere and the last survivors were being killed. In just a minute, the camp now looked like a huge butcher's shop.

" Mom ! " Cried the boy, running to his tent. " Answer me ! "

Still no answer, as he had to smash the skull of another zombie.

" Get out of my way ! " He ordered, hitting him hard.

Destroying his skull, he ends up being sprayed with his blood. Looking at his red hands then, he was surprised to feel tears flood his eyes, as he took his head in his hands.

" I beg you ! Answer me ! "

" … ra ! "

" What ? " The boy wondered, thinking he heard something.

" Miura ! "

Getting up, the boy suddenly saw the silhouette of his mother running towards him, carrying Mary in his arms.

" Mom ! " He rejoices, rushing towards her. " You are alive, I… "

" Take Mary with you and go away! " His mother suddenly ordered him, handing him the girl, who seemed to be passed out.

" What ? But … ? Where are grandmother ? "

" She ... She ... it's too late for her." His mother confessed to him.

Suddenly wincing, the young woman fell to her knees while squeezing a hand that appeared to be injured.

" What's wrong ? " Miura questioned, crouching down next to her.

" I was bitten. " She confessed suddenly, showing him the bite mark she had on her hand.

The boy's eyes widened at that moment, as he saw a trickle of blood trickling out of his mother's mouth.

" I ... I ... " She stammered. " I want you to take Mary with you and both of you go. "

" No, not without you. "

He stopped suddenly, feeling his mother's hand tenderly caressing his cheek.

" I love you, Miura ! I will never forget you. "

Another trickle of blood suddenly appeared on the other side of her mouth and the young woman finally closed her eyes before collapsing to the ground.

" M ... Mom ? "

No answer.

" Mom ? " He repeated, shaking her gently.

His mother made no gesture.

The boy's fist tightened then, as he realized he would never see his mother again.

" No, I… I beg you ! Do not die ! " He begged, continuing to shake her. " What will become of us without you ? "

Suddenly opening her eyes, Mary tried to come to her senses, and eventually saw her brother crying in front of her mother's corpse.

" Miura ? What's wrong with mom ? "

" Ma … Mary ? " The boy wondered, turning his face to her.

Taking advantage of this moment, his mother, in the form of a zombie suddenly grabbed his wrist before opening her jaws to bite him. Reflexively, the boy threw the end of his adjustable wrench in her face, in order to push it back. Releasing her grip, she allowed the boy to free himself and he positioned himself in front of his sister, in order to protect her. Nonetheless, it was clear that he was upset, as he watched his mother's body rise to its feet, while groaning.

" No, not you mom. " Begged Mary, realizing that her mother had become one of them. " What do we have to do, Miura ? "

Continuing to stare at his mother getting up, the boy was caught between the urge to run away and the urge to use his gun to kill her for good.

"I… I can't leave her like this ! No, not my mother ! She doesn't deserve to be one of those monsters. "

Raising his weapon above him, he let out a huge scream before shooting it down in the direction of his former mother's face. However, at the last moment, he stopped when his gaze met that of the zombie. In a flash, he thought he recognized the happy and gentle gaze his mother gave him all the time, and that prevented him from being able to kill her.

"I… I can't do it. "

Remaining frozen for a few moments, the boy, looking down, finally affirmed.

" Let's move on. "

" What ? But… what about mom ? "

" There is nothing to do for her. " He asserted, wrapping his arm around his sister's waist before starting to run with her on his shoulder.

" No ! " Cried the young girl. " Mom ! "

All she got for an answer from her was a groan as she clumsily took steps, hoping she could get her hands on them.

Hitting a zombie with his huge fist, Franky couldn't help but growl, seeing a large chunk of the undead set entering the mansion courtyard, passing through the old portal plaza. .

" It's bad ! " He announced. " Even if we manage to reach the mini-bus, we won't have a chance to leave here. "

" It should clear the passage. " Hisashi agreed.

" And how do you want to do that ? " Asked Yamada. " It would take at least a dozen sticks of dynamite to be able to clear our way. "

" Ok, I have what it takes. " Franky suddenly announced, handing Luffy's body to Zoro. " I'll join you right away. "

Suddenly moving away from them, he began to run towards the entrance to the mansion, which was directly in front of the ancient gate of the portal. Seeing him do it, as she electrocuted a new zombie, Nami cried out.

" It's not going all the same… "

" If he will use his laser beam. " Assured Usopp. " We must not stay in the passage. "

" His laser beam ? " Takashi wondered.

" Chief, there is a hairy monster that has appeared. " Announced a soldier, pointing at Chopper.

" But what is this ? " Wanted to know Souichiro. " Looks like some kind of yeti. "

" Dad ! " He suddenly heard.

" Saya ? " His father wondered.

Running towards him and her mother, his daughter cried out.

" We have to get out of here, quickly ! We have the possibility of being able to join a means of transport! Nevertheless, we have to go quickly! The pirates who are with us will never be able to last more than five minutes against all these living dead. "

" The Pirates ? " Repeated Souichiro.

Suddenly pointing at Chopper, she asserted.

" He is on our side! However, he will never be able to last in this form for very long. "

Glancing at Chopper, the mansion chief suddenly saw him grab the arm of a giant zombie, before spinning around. He then threw the huge body at a whole group of zombies, who found themselves violently crushed under his corpse. Turning then, Chopper aimed his fist in the face of another giant, and managed to knock him back.

" He ... He is fighting on our side. " Cried a soldier, with surprise.

" Dad, let's take advantage of this to leave. " Repeated Saya. " If we stay here too long, we will never survive. "

Not giving him the slightest glance, Souichiro fully analyzed the situation. Running in their direction, the survivors of the camp tried, as best they could, to escape the zombies, while his soldiers tried to hold back the monsters by killing them. However, one by one, each of them was bitten by these monsters and the numbers of the camp were quickly becoming smaller and smaller. Protecting the place would be a suicidal act. Flight was the only solution they had left. Nevertheless, for the man it was impossible to leave, leaving people in his care behind him.

" Saya, we have to go. " Kohta announced, shooting a zombie in the head.

" I will not leave without my parents. " She retorted.

It was at this moment that her mother gave her something she put in her hands.

" Take this weapon with you. " She advised her.

Looking at the gun she was holding, Saya was surprised.

" But what ...? "

" It's time for you to leave home and build a future without us. " His mother interrupted, hugging her.

" But why … ? "

Turning his gaze to Kohta, Souichiro roared.

'' It seems to me that you told me that you intended to protect my daughter at the risk of your life, don't you ? "

" Huh ... ! Yes, Commander. " Asserted the high school student.

" In this case, I'll give it to you! And you had better protect it. "

Getting ready to answer him, Kohta was suddenly cut off by a voice that asked.

" Hey, where are you going ? "

Ignoring the soldier who wanted to stop him, Franky managed to climb the steps leading to the entrance of the mansion and found himself in front of the Takagi family.

" Franky ? " Saya wondered, recognizing him.

" What are you still doing here ? " Wanted to know the cyborg. " What are you waiting for to leave ? "

" As commander, it is my duty to help all the survivors of this place to escape from here. " Souichiro retorted.

Watching Chopper again pushing back the giant zombies, he finally confesses.

" Nevertheless, I do not know what to do to be able to counter all this crowd of corpses. "

" In that case, let me do it. " Franky suddenly offered, suddenly clasping his hands together. " I'll clear the way for you. "

" Are you going to bring out the rockets ? " Kohta asked him.

" No ! " Franky said, with a small smile. " It's time for the laser beam. "

He hardly had time to finish his sentence when a luminous ball appeared in his hands.

"Warning! FRANKY… "

Dazzled by the ever-increasing source of light, several survivors saw the cyborg begin his attack and had the good idea to get out of his way.

"… RADICAL …!"

Seeing Franky in turn, Chopper suddenly grabbed a giant and threw it in front of the portal.

"Go ahead, Franky."

"… BEAM! "

The robot's powerful laser beam shot straight at the portal, destroying, in the process, all the zombies who had the bad idea of being in front of him. Spraying it without the slightest problem, the laser ended up meeting the body of the giant, which was found, too, destroyed, without the slightest consideration. With a final growl, he disappeared as did part of the wall. Finding themselves, meanwhile, thrown to the side, because of the powerful attack, several survivors had astonished glances when they saw the laser beam, making them think of the famous Goku's kamehameha.

Feeling, too, a little withdrawn, Souichiro put his arms in front of his face to protect him. However, not once did he stop staring at Franky as the cyborg was simply offering him the opportunity he sought. Watching him while being carried back, Kohta had her mouth wide open as stars came out of her eyes.

" So cool ! " He asserted, as debris crashed into his head, doing nothing to him.

Finally, after a few seconds, Franky's attack subsided, until it disappeared. Catching a breath after using up his entire stash of cola, the cyborg smirked, seeing the result of his gesture.

Half. Within five seconds, he had achieved the feat of destroying more than half of the enemy's forces. Moreover, he had even managed to create a path to the portal now allowing anyone to get out of here. However, the zombies that still remained in the courtyard gradually rose to their feet, without any hesitation in resuming the fight. If anyone wanted to run away, he had to do it quickly. And that, Souichiro had already noticed. Glancing to his right, he saw a few of his men getting up. Then looking to his left, he made out Chopper sweeping up three lizard zombies with the palm of his gigantic hand. Yes, he was sure he could do one last thing.

" What was that thing ? " Wanted to know someone.

" I don't know, but it destroyed a lot of zombies. "

" Nothing suprising. "

" Soldiers ! " Souichiro suddenly roared. " Listen to me all! This is surely the last order I give you. "

" What ? " Several people said, looking at him.

" Listen to me carefully ! The path to leave here is clear! So I order you to prevent any zombie from blocking it again to give civilians time to leave here! Support this sort of yeti as needed! He is on our side! Slay any zombies that want to bite him and once everyone's gone, do the same! Waiting … "

Pulling a saber out of its scabbard, he cried out.

" Fight to the death. "

Then running towards the courtyard, he rushed straight towards two zombies, who barely had time to see him, before being beheaded. Seeing him do it, a few men stared at each other, before glancing at the remaining zombies.

" He… He really wants us to fight against them ? "

" But it's suicide. "

" Perhaps but we promised to always serve under his orders. "

" And then, if he fights alongside us, we have no reason to lose. "

Gathering then everything that could serve as weapons, they began to utter war cries, before charging the enemy.

Seeing them start to fight, while one of them was immediately bitten by a zombie lizard, Saya began to scream.

" No, don't go ! Go quickly. "

" Hurry to get out of here. " Ordered a soldier, a family of survivors, before being attacked from behind.

" Nerik ! " Saya cried, seeing the soldier being bitten.

" Go all die! " Another guard raged, shooting several undead, before being overwhelmed by their numbers.

" Johannes ! " Saya sobbed, as he vanished under a wave of bodies.

" We will fight with the commander until we die." Another man assured, before being violently crushed by a giant.

Seeing him die in turn, Saya turned to Franky and Kohta, before screaming.

" Do not stay there! Do something ! Stop them from getting killed. "

Hearing a cry of agony behind her back, she began to look down before begging.

" Help them, please. "

" Sa… Saya ! " Kohta stammered, not knowing what to do.

" Go ! " Saya's mother suddenly ordered.

" What ? " The two teenagers said, watching her leave with a machine gun in her hands.

" I'm glad you made so many good friends, Sayas. " She assured her, giving her a last smile.

Then glancing at Franky, she asked him.

"Please, can I hand her over to you and trust you to take her to a safe place?"

Looking at her for a few moments, Franky was silent, before finally nodding. This then made the young woman smile, who suddenly ran off to join her husband.

" Mom ! " Saya cried, starting to follow her.

She suddenly felt Franky's huge hand grab her at her waist and stop her from going any further.

" Hey, what are you doing ? "

" Kohta, we're going to the garage. " Ordered the robot, running in the direction of the latter.

" Let go of me, right now, dirty tin can. " Saya ordered him, starting to strike his huge fingers. " Let me join my parents! No way I will abandon them. "

" Are you stupid or what ? " Asked the cyborg.

The young girl suddenly fell silent, seeing him cry.

" Your parents … " He began. " … They act exactly like my old teacher did when I was a kid! To prevent me from dying, he sacrificed himself when he only deserved to live! Your parents do the same, as do the guards in this place! They are fighting so they can give you a chance to get away from here. "

Suddenly looking at her, he said with a huge voice.

" If you decide to die now, the sacrifice of all these men who are already dead will have been in vain! Get it right in your head. "

Shutting up then, Saya remained a few seconds of marble, before bursting into tears.

" I ... I don't want them to die. "

" Do not worry! If you trust them, they will come back to see you! Maybe not tonight, or tomorrow! But someday! Yes, I promise you that one day you will be able to see your parents again! Until then, you have to hold on and fight to stay alive. "

" Yes ! " Cried the young girl, placing her hand in front of her eyes.

"Dad ! Mom ! Everybody ! I forbid you to die ! I… I will be nothing without you."
