(Iceburgs Mansion)
Iza and Paulie were walking up the stairs towards Iceburgs main room where he was sleeping, as as they did they noticed, Komo, Lucci, Kaku (The Shipwright with the logn nose and checked the Going Merry) and another shipwright that had a weird pointed out hairdo whose name is Peeply Lulu.
"You both made it." Komo said
"Hows Iceburg doing." Iza said
" he's still comatose, The doctor is still in there checking to make sure his vitals are still functioning properly, Kalifa is in there to. "Kaku said
"do we have any leads on who may have did this?" Iza said
"Not a thing but hopefully if Iceburg wakessss up he'll give some inssssight on who did thissss." Komo said
Kalifa then exited out of the room slowly.
"Well?" Paulie said
Kalifa had tears in her eyes.
"He's regained consciousness." Kalifa said
"He did!?" Paulie yelled
"Yes, your all free to visit him if you like. "Kalifa said with a sigh of relief
"Everyone else took a sigh of relief.
everyone then entered the room by their own pace. Seeing Iceburg awake laying still. and the doctor leaving
"Iceburg your all right." Iza said breathing a sigh of relief.
"Yes, I'm fine i just need to rest." Iceburg said weakly.
"Don;t worry Iceburg once we find out whoever did this to you we'll make them pay." Paulie said
"...I know who did it." Iceburg said
Everyone was then caught by surprise.
"There were two. one was a big man with a mask on the other one was...a tall woman with logn black hair and black eye..theirs no mistake about it those black eyes belonged to...Nico Robin." Iceburg said
Iza, Paulie along with everyone else were shocked to hear the news.
"Wait isn't that the women that was part of that Straw hat crew? Paulie said
"Yes, my own investigation led to the same conclusion." Kalifa said
"Then the Straw Hats are the culprits?" Kaku said
"It sssseems that way. "Komo said
"Did they do this out of retaliation because we couldn't fix there ship?" Lulu questioned
"Its hard to say, but whatever the reason, the truth is that they did it, but we'll know soon enough once we capture them, you will pay for this Straw Hat. "Paulie said
Iza then clenched her fists hard, and then had a worried look.
"Sumi I need to find you Quick." Iza said to herself
"AHHHHHHHHHH"
Everyone looked out the door and noticed a large yelling his lungs out runnign towards them.
"ICEBURG! I'M SO GLAD YOU CAME AROUND!" The man yelled
Iza then kicked the man in the face sending him out the door.
"Tilestone! what the hell is wrong with you!? Stop Screaming Iceburg doesnl't need that!" Iza yelled
"Oh Iza Your Right! I'm Sorry!" Tilestone yelled out
"What is it that you want!?" Iza said
"Theres Trouble at Dock #1, The Straw Hat who came yesterday started a Fight with Franky and there wrecking the Shipyard
"Franky?...Ugh what is that idiot doing?" Iza said to herself
"WHAT!?... that bastard! how dare he just show up at the dock like that" Paulie yelled overhearing what Tilestone said
Paulie then ran by Iza along with Kaku, Lucci, Komo, and Lulu to see what was going on.
"Shit." Iza said running off to.
(Cray, Sanji, and Chopper)
The three of them were now on a Yagara still keeping a close eye for Robin.
"Still nothing?" Sanji said
"Yeah." Chopper said disappointed
"Same here." Cray said as he looked at all the people boarding up and putting metal sheet on there windows.
"this Agua Lugana is going to be pretty crazy, I hope everyone gets prepared for it. "Cray said
"Yeah but still there is bound to be someone around here that may not know, wouldn't you agree?" Chopper said
"Yeah." Cray said
"And that someones ship might get damaged quite a bit huh?" Chopper said
"Yeah it would." Sanji said
There was then a long silence
"Hey Chopper, now that I think about it?.. didn't you say that you forgot something at The Going Merry?" Sanji said breaking the silence
"What?" Chopper said
" You remember?...Cray, Chopper said something like that right?" Sanji said now addressing Cray
"...Oh yeah it was that thing in order to do that other thing don't you remember Chopper?" Cray said
"...Yeah... Now I remember!" Chopper yelled getting it
"Well..I guess it can't be helped." Sanji said turning in the other direction.
"Yeah, just wait whatever it is I left!" Chopper yelled in joy
Sanji, Chopper, and Cray were in the outskirts of the city where the Merry was docked the three of them were behind some rock to make sure they weren't noticed. tey then thought of an idea to warn Ussop abotu the Wave.
"Okay Ready?" Sanji said
"Yeah." Cray and Chopper said
The three of them then quietly walked towards The Going Merry.
" 1,2,3...HEY YOU GUYS DID YOU HEAR ABOUT WHATS ABOUT TO HAPPEN!?" Sanji Yelled
" OH NO! WHAT IS IT!?" Chopper yelled
"AGUA LAGUNA IS GOING TO HIT THIS CITY AT MIDNGHT TONIGHT!?" Sanji yelled
"WAIT YOU DON'T MEAN THAT GIANT STORM THATS GOING TO HIT THE CITY, COMPLETELY SUBMERGING THE ENTIRE LOWER AREA IN WATER ARE YOU!?" Cray yelled loudly very fast
"THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT!" Sanji yelled
" OH NO WE SHOULD ALL GET TO HIGHER GROUND AS FAST AS POSSIBLE!" Chopper yelled
"GOOD IDEA!" Sanji yelled
"YEAH LETS!" Cray yelled
"EVACUATE! EVACUATE!" The three of them yelled out
they then took a breather now waiting for a Sign that Ussop heard it.
Cray, Sanji, Chopper heard the noise of the creaking door slowly starting to open
"QUICK RUN!" Sanji yelled as all three of them ran away from the boat as fast as possible.
(Sumi)
Sumi was still looking through his eye scope, he could see the citizens Running off and only Nami and Luffy being the only ones to stay behind. Sumi was concerned as to what was going to happen, Sumi heard of this Franky guy before by Iza and she warned him to stay away from him, Sumi also showed some concern for Straw Hat Luffy and his friend, he's only met him once but he could sense that he wasn't a bad person, and even in there first confrontation he didn't call him a freak after he accidentally punched him but instead called him cool, and even asked him to join his crew though he had no interest in doing so. Sumi just looked out he noticed Franky and Luffy yelling at each other and he could only get only bit and pieces of the conversation.
"Give us back..."
"Give it back...Spent it all...Sore losers."
"Revenge...COME DOWN HERE NOW AND FIGHT ME!"
"Wow Luffy must be pretty upset." Sumi said
Sumi looked closely at Franky as he tilted his head back as far as he could.
"Fresh Fire!" Franky Yelled
Franky then spewed out a huge amount of fire as wide as the canal right towards Luffy and Nami. Sumi eyes went wide with fear as the flames came towards Luffy and Nami, but the Yagara they were on manage to out swing it as it came towards them, Franky then Jumped into water, he then swam underneath the Yagara and punched it, Luffy and Nami High into the Air, The Yagara and Nami landed in the water While Luffy landed on dry land. Franky Quickly got up from the water.
Gum Gum!" Luffy yelled ready to attack
"Strong Right!" Franky yelled
Franky Right hand then rocketed towards Luffy with chain linked to the rest of his arm as Luffy was hit dead on and sent backwards right into the large Dock #1 door.
LUFFY!" Nami yelled
Luffy fell towards the ground with a thud as Nami crawled out of the water to check on him.
"Are you okay Luffy!?" Nami yelled
"I'm fine." Luffy said slowly getting up staring up at Franky
"How did he Extended his arm like that? he can swim so he doesn't have any Devil fruit powers, its impossible." Nami said
"Heh that's because I'm more then just a human." Franky said as he took his hand and pulled it out with a chain.
"I'm a Cyborg." Franky said with a confident smirk.
Luffy then got up to his feet.
"I don't care what you are, I'm still going to kick your ass!" Luffy yelled running pulling his fist back
(Later)
Luffy and Franky kept on with there fighting but this time they moved it into the Dock#1 area, destroying almost everything, ship builds, equipment etc. While an entire crowd gathered around to watch Nami was cheering on Luffy while Frankys Square haired subordinates cheered him on. Sumi hovered to a much closer building that was close to the Dock Area so he can see for himself as well.
PISTOL!" Luffy yelled Punching Franky in the face sending him backwards into a pile of debris. Luffy took a knee feeling exhausted after throwing so many punches at him.
"YEAH THATS IT LUFFY SHOW THAT JERK WHOSE BOSS!" Nami yelled
"TEACH THAT STRAW HAT A LESSON FOR MESSING WITH THE FRANKY FAMILY!" The Two Square haired girls said
Franky just layed there holding the side of his face in annoyance as he got up ready to attack Luffy.
Franky then Extended his left hand towards Luffy as his wrist opened to reveal an open hole as the palm of the hand was used as as Gun sight.
"WEAPONS LEFT!" Franky yelled as a cannonball shot out of his arm, Luffy Quickly dodged out of the way.
"Gum Gum Whip!" Luffy yelled Stretching out and kicking his leg towards Franky only for him to block it. but as soon as he did out of nowhere in the mids of the smoke that was made during Luffy and Frankys fight, a couple of fists hit Luffy and Franky straight in the face. sending them crashing back. Leaving the people Nami and Sumi shocked
"WHO WAS THAT!?" Luffy yelled upset getting up and as he looked he noticed Paulie, Tilestone, Komo, Lucci, Lulu,and Kaku
"How dare you pull this crap here on our Dock! Just what are you Pulling Straw Hat!?" Paulie yelled
HOORAY ITS THE DOCK#1 FOREMEN!" The People Cheered
"What a relief its those guys that we met yesterday." Nami said hoping that they will deal with Franky for them
"Galley La? what are you guys doing here?" Franky said looking
"Anyway you guys shouldn't butt into our fight you all may get hurt." Franky said
"Its kind of funny you said that after you messed up our factory area this much, but we have more important business right now...Straw Hat Luffy I;m surprised you even showed your face given by what you did." Paulie said
"What? I didn't do anything I just came to fight this guy!" Luffy yelled
"Geez...Our Family wasn't enough so you messed with Galley-La to." Franky said
"I ALREADY TOLD YOU I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING!" Luffy yelled
"Denying your crimes is only going to make it worst." Paulie yelled as a long rope came out of his sleeves
Rope Action!" Paulie yelled as the rope wrapped around Luffys Neck
"Can't Breathe. "Luffy said gasping
Paulie then Lifted Luffy up High into the Air then slammed him into the ground hard
"YOU BASTARDS I TOLD YOU TO STAY OUT OF THIS! I'M THE ONE WITH THE GRUDGE AGAINST HIM!" Franky yelled Getting Ready to jump him into the fight
Franky was then hit over the head with a large hunk of a wood By Tilestone sending him into the Air. Komo Quickly Jumped up towards Franky
"Why not take a Load off." Komo said kicking him in the back sending him down.
"Headsss Up Kaku!" Komo yelled
Kaku then as Franky was heading towards the ground before he could hit it Kaku then delivered a kick to Frankys face sending him flying into a bunch of Planks, broken wood.
Iza managed to make it to the Docks, but unfortunately she didn't make it before the fighting started to get underway. After Paulie explained to Luffy why there attacking him because of him being Responsible and/or involved with the Attack on Iceburg. Luffy tried to convince them all that there was no way Nico Robin or him would never do that but to no Avail. Iza was more worried about Sumi more then anything, She was hoping to find him somewhere around here since he was looking for the man that owned the Sketchbook he took and what better place to find that man then to have a talk with the mans Captain.
SUMI! SUMI! WHERE ARE YOU!?" Iza yelled trying to yell through the cheering and yelling from the group of people that was around her.
Sumi was just looking on with fear Luffy fighting Lucci and being Kicked and thrown around the the Dock While the people who were watching. Sumi looked on a bit conflicted they just, Luffy is Responsible for the Attack on Iceburg? Luffy didn't look or seem like the kind of person who would do that, and as Luffy was explaining to them that he wasn't the culprit he couldn't detect any doubts in his voice and he sounded very sincere.
SUMI! SUMI!"
Sumis Ears twitched up as he heard somebody call his name as looked down at the huge crowd,
"Iza?" Sumi said quietly
Sumi could see Iza passing people looking around, Sumi could see that Iza had show of worry while she was looking around. Sumi wanted to show her that he was alright, but if he did she would just drag him back.
"GALLEY LA RUN!"
Sumi then lifted his head up as he saw Franky standing in front of The Galley La foreman with his arms out towards them, Sumi then noticed huge Gusts of Air being pulled in by Franky and as it was he could see Frankys Forearms slowly started getting bigger until they were as just as big as he was.
"COUP DE VENT!" Franky yelled
Franky then shot a huge Gust of Compressed Air towards the Galley La Foremen not only sending them flying into the air but also completely obliterating the Area that they were standing on, the Wind was so strong it blew back towards the people who were watching with a huge force even knocking most of them down, and Iza, Sumi on the Roof was hit by it to the wind was so Strong it it sent Sumi back a couple feet but as he was thrown back, Crays Sketchbook was then knocked out of his hands,
"NO!" Sumi yelled as he saw the Sketchbook being carried off high into the air as the Strong wind was Carrying it out. Sumi looked out in despair as he saw the Sketchbook out in the distance just drop somewhere in the city.
Sumi then looked by the edge of the roof back at the Dock as he saw People running away and dust flying everywhere, but he could see a some people who didn't, Iza, Nami, Luffy, Franky The Galley La Foremen after dropping down back onto the ground hard. after that attack and more then few civilians.
"That was insane, what kind of technology does that guy have? "Nami said on the ground
"NAMI QUICK! WE NEED TO GET OUT OF HERE!" Luffy yelled running towards her helping her off the ground
"Don't let them get away!" A civilian yelled out
a group of Civilians then started to surround them both and getting closer
"Hold on tight Nami!" Luffy yelled as he stretched both his arms out towards the Building that Sumi was. as Nami held onto his waist
"What are you gonna..."Nami said
GUM GUM..." Luffy yelled
"Wait Luffy you don't need to do tha.." Nami yelled
"ROCKET!" Luffy yelled
Sumi then looked as he saw Luffy coming towards him at fast pace, and before he could get out of the way he then felt himself getting launched up into the air as he was picked by Luffys head as He Luffy and Nami were launched high into the air and far away from Dock #1.
thats all Sumi could hear from Iza as he was launched high into the air along with Luffy and Nami
"AHHHHHH!" Nami yelled Holding onto Luffy for dear life
"I CAN'T SEE!" Luffy yelled as he could see that his vision went dark.
Luffy then tried to pull off what was obstructing his view, and as he did he heldit in his hand and looked and noticed that it was Sumi clinging onto his hand tightly
"Sumi?" Luffy said confusingly
Namis Grip on Luffys Waist started to give way.
"LUFFY!" Nami screamed as her grip suddenly loosed up Luffy Quickly Wrapped his arms around her before she could fall. The three of them could see that were dropping down extremely fast, with Nami in one hand and Sumi in the other he couldn't strectch out any of arms without hurting one of them which he didn;t want to do.
"GUM GUM...Ballo..." Luffy was just about to inflate his body to absorb the impact for Nami and Sumi but before he could e could feel that him and Nami were slowly going down now. Luffy looked up towards his hand and he saw Sumi Flapping his tail back and forth as fast as he can as Streams of paint were fading away with each swipe.
"YOU CAN FLY!?" Luffy yelled
Sumi looked stressed as he was basically trying to carry two people all by himself. and as they got closer to the ground Sumi ran out of energy, and they both landed n top of a building.
"Phew that was a close one." Luffy said
"BONK!"
Nami then hit Luffy over the head.
"WHATS THE BIG IDEA I THOUGHT I WAS GONNA DIE!" Nami yelled
"Sorry, but we had to get out of there before things any worse for us." Luffy said
"There were better ways to escape other then that!" Nami yelled shaking Luffy around
after Nami let out her anger and let Luffy go, Nami turned towards Sumi who was laying down on his back breathing heavily. Nami walked towards Sumi
"Are you okay?" Nami said shadowing over him,
"Oh...um, Yeah i'm fine." Sumi said lifting himself up
"I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU CAN DO THAT!" Luffy yelled
What?" Sumi said
"FLY! YOU CAN FLY! THAT IS SO COOL!" Luffy yelled in excitement
Sumi just gave him a weird look.
"Whats the Matter?, are you hurt or something, I'm sorry if I.."Luffy said
"No,...no its not that...those people that attacked you at the Dock, there saying that you and someone named Robin shot Iceburg...is it true?" Sumi said looking up at Luffy with a bit of anger in his eyes
Luffy just stood there silent for a second.
"No...thats not true we would never do something like that, Robin would never do something like that!" Luffy yelled at him with a bit of anger in his voice startling Sumi a little but Sumi kept his eyes lock on Luffys Sumi then closed his eyes, and focused on his smelling as his nose twitched as he was sniffing Luffy
"What are you doing?" Luffy said
"Oh um, Just checking something...I Believe you." Sumi said
"You..Do?" Luffy said surprising
"Yeah..I can sort of detect when somebody is lying by sense of smell, although sometimes it doesn't work, so I'm just going by my gut feeling." Sumi said smiling
Luffy smiled back
"Well I got to go Bye." Sumi said
"Were are you going?"Luffy said
"I need to find something, and I don't have that much time." Sumi said
"do you need some help?" Luffy said
" Oh um, No, No I'm good." Sumi said quickly hovering away to the other Building
As Luffy saw Sumi go off he then turned to Nami.
"So what the plan?" Nami said
"Were going to see Ice Pops I need to know whats going on." Luffy said
(Cray, Chopper, Sanji)
The entire city was on High alert, everyone was now looking for the Straw Hats and Nico Robin after being accused of trying to Assassinate Iceburg. Zoro ended up having to leave the hotel, Ussop ended up hiding away from nearby people checking the Merry but wasn't to far away from it. Sanji, Chopper and Cray were informed of the situation due to the amounts of scattered newspapers everywhere, There last stop was the very lower part of the city by the Sea Train station, Everything was completely deserted, due to the upcoming storm
The wind was now picking up even more.
"We Don't have much time. The Wind is getting stronger." Sanji said
"This whole Area is starting to give me the creeps everything feels so empty." Cray said
As the three of them continued to walk Chopper then stopped, Cray and Sanji looked back
"Hey Chopper is something wrong?" Sanji said
"That Smell." Chopper said
"What?" Cray said
Chopper then started to run ahead of them at break neck pace leaving Cray and Sanji in the dust.
"Chopper! Where are you going!?" Cray yelled trying to catch up with him.
"Cray Wait!" sanji yelled
as cray was running further away from Sanji he then saw Chopper going down a row of Stairs, Cray was the first one to go down and he saw Chopper just staring out to the other side of a large Canal
"Chopper There you are, why did...you...run." Cray said looking at what chopper was looking at with a surprised
Sanji was the next one
"there you two are you guys shouldn't run off like that, just a couple seconds ago you two were right...beside...me. "Sanji said looking out to with shock on his face to
"I knew it." Chopper said
The three of them were now looking at Figure who was standing on the other side.
"ROBIN!" The three of them yelled as they saw her staring at them with a Stoic look
"Robin there you are we've been looking all over for you, come on lets gets back to the inn, a lots happened while you were gone I'll explain everything on the way, This damn Canal split us up, stay right there I'll find a way to get you over here." Sanji said
"Don't bother, its all right, theirs no need, because I won;t be coming back to you and your Crew. were parting ways here, in this city." Robin said
"What? What are you talking about? oh wait you mean the things they said about you in the newspaper don;t worry about it, none of us believes it, pirates are accused all the time, were easy targets." Sanji said
"About that...I apologize for pinning such an unreasonable crime on all of you, but as far as my involvement everything you read in the newspaper is true, late last night I broke into the mayors place of residence and shot him." Robin said
"No way." Cray said to himself kind of shaken up while Sanji and chopper stood there in silence with shock
"I'm afraid you will be taking the fall of last nights attack while I escape, and let me warn you...the situation will only get worse." Robin said
"What the Hell are you talking about!? I don't understand? YOUR NOT MAKING ANY SENSE!?" Cray yelled
"Why I'm doing it?...theres no need for you to understand." Robin said
"ROBIN WHAT HAPPENED!? THIS ISN'T LIKE YOU AT ALL!?" Sanji yelled
"PLEASE! WE'LL WORK THIS OUT TOGETHER!" Chopper yelled
"Although I spent a short time with you all, from this day forward..we will never see each other again, Thank you for the kindness you showed me, know that I'll never forget it." Robin said turning away from them.
"Goodbye." Robin said walking away
everything went slow, Cray, Sanji, And Chopper looked on as Robin was walking away from them hearing each footstep echo in there ears.
"No...this...this can't...this can;t be happening." Sanji said shocked
"WAIT! COME BACK!" Sanji yelled as he ran towards the Canal along with Chopper and Cray, But CHopepr and cray stopped knowing there was no way to make it to the other side but Sanji went into the Canal trying to get to the other side and only made it halfway as the waves were pushing him back.
"Wait (Cough). you don't..(Cough) Know what your saying Robin!" Sanji yelled coughing out Water
Cray just Clenched his fists tightly as he looked down in sadness along with Chopper, Cray then started to back away from the Canal
Cray then took a head start and jumped, he then used Sanjis head as a Stepping stone to get to the other end, Cray barely missed it as one of his legs hit the Water. Cray then started to run after Robin Cray could see her as she dissappeared into the darkness
" Please, Please no, Not again, Not Again. "Cray said in his head as he was running into the darkness. Cray then could see light at the end, and as he made it out of the darkness he stopped to see only nothing but an empty Area, Cray looked to his sides and then what was infront of him..nothing but empty Buildings not a single soul to speak of.
"ROBIN!...ROBIN!" Cray yelled
Cray then had Tears in his eyes
"ROOOOOBIIIIIIIIIIN!"Cray yelled
and Thats it another Chapter, the next one will be finally moving on to whats really about to happen, I also Want to Explain on Why Cray, didn't take precautions knowing that he was wanted, by the time the news that The Straw Hats were being accused, they were already in the more abandon parts of the city. I just wanted to explain that to be sure that nobody understood why. But Anyway hope you all liked it, i'll see you all in the next chapter.
