I finally got around to finishing this chapter. Sorry it took me so long. I had trouble figuring out how I should approach this part of the story, plus I've been lazy.

This chapter is about the clash between Zoro and Shauna. Who will win? Read on to find out.

The Chapter 11

Zoro vs. Shauna! Staff Against Blade!

"I don't know why you're surprised, Rizen," Nagika said to the swordsman. "You met Luffy as a baby and several times as a kid, didn't you?"

"I did?" Rizen scratched his head, while thinking about it. "I don't remember."

Nagika sighed. Rizen was smart and reliable man, cool too, but he was known to have a very poor memory. "You'd forget our own child if we had one. Which is something you'd better not do, my dear fiance."

"Yes, dear," Rizen rolled his alluring grey eyes.

"Back up here," Ellie said shortly, " Lilia, the She-Demon herself, has a kid?!"

"What have I been saying?" Nagika said sassily.

"I heard you, but… how?"

"How what?"

"How can Lilia have a child? I didn't even know she was married." Ridge and Oscar nodded in agreement.

Nagika thought for a moment. She knew who Lilia's partner was, but she felt it wasn't her place to say. "Just ask her yourself. Besides I don't know why you guys are so surprised. Lilia is beautiful. Is it really so strange, at her age, that she has a son?"

"Okay, I guess, but shouldn't the same apply to you and Rizen," Ellie said thoughtlessly. "I mean you two have been interested in each other since before I joined the unit, but you guys only got engaged last month."

Rizen looked the other way, feeling a mix of embarrassment and annoyance as he heard the sound of Oscar, Ridge, and even Yuki, who, as a giant black hawk, continued to fly her fellow Demonic Six to the island where her captain had taken the Straw Hats, snickering under their breaths. Their laughter was cut short by the powerful death glare sent by Nagika, whose sharp golden eyes and natural fear factor made her almost as intimidating as Lilia.

"Probably not the smartest move ticking off one of the only two people in the unit who can actually control the captain, Ellie," Oscar whispered. He had light brown skin and a dark hair that was in an afro, also he had black eyes and a powerfully slim, muscular body and was exactly 5'9. He wore a simple green shirt and grey pants.

"And with that same logic, Ellie, you should be pregnant with Oscars child by now," Nagika retorted venomously, making Ellie and Oscar the color of tomatoes.

"What's that supposed to mean!?" They both shouted with a blush on their faces, making Ridge laugh hysterically, Yuki giggle, and even made a cool Rizen smirk.

"You know what it means," Nagika said with a sadistic smile.

"Pfft. Whatever." Ellie sighed her face still red, then she pouted childishly. "I'm just ticked off. I mean Lilia is always telling us we're more than just a unit and that we are family, but she keeps the fact that she has a son from us. How is that fair?"

The others were a bit shocked at Ellie's rant. Ellie was always one of the kinder and more cheerful members of the Demon Unit. It was unusual to see her so upset.

"I have to admit, it does hit a bit of a sore spot," Ridge nodded.

Nagika sighed. "Don't take it personally, guys. There is a very good reason Lilia never told you about her son."

"And that is?" Oscar asked.

"You never asked," Nagika answered, making them fallover.

"That's it!?" They all screamed.

"Yup. Have you guys ever even asked her about her family?"

"Guess I never thought to ask," Ellie said with a small smile. "Sorry I over reacted a bit."

"Forget about it," Nagika dismissed. "It's not like it's completely unjustified anyway. I think we should learn more about each other if we want to grow as a group."

"I like that idea, Nagika," Yuki said joyfully.

"Thanks, Yuks!" Nagika smiled at her pet name for Yuki.

"Hey, by the way, does Jillian know about Lilia's son?" Ellie asked.

"Nope. Let's hope she never finds out. Who knows what would happen," Nagika said warningly. Everyone else nodded in agreement.

"So, I guess we've been putting off this question long enough... her son is a pirate?" Ellie hesitated. Everyone readied their listening ears for Nagika's answer

"Yes. Does that bother you?"

Ellie, Ridge, and Oscar exchanged glances. "No. Virtually everyone in the unit joined because they were loyal to Lilia, not the Marines or the government," Ellie said proudly.

Nagika and the others smirked.

"But still," Ellie continued, "isn't it kind of strange for the son of one of the most fearsome marines on the planet to be a pirate?"

"It's not like I know all the details myself, but, if you ask me, it makes some sense, don't you think? I mean Lilia has always marched to the beat of her own drummer, so it makes sense that her son would be like that, wouldn't you agree?"

"When you put it like that well… it kinda makes me feel a bit nervous at the thought of there being someone else like the captain," Ellie said awkwardly.

"... I see your point," Nagika said after a moment of thought. "But meet him for yourself, then decide if it's as bad as you think."

"Okay, I will. But I have one more question," Ellie smiled and turned to their winged transportation, "and it's for Yuki."

"What is it," Yuki asked.

"Is Lilia's son your boyfriend?" Ellie asked curiously.

'That was way too blunt,' the other four Demonic Six members thought in unison

Turbulence.

"W-what?!" The moment Ellie asked that, Yuki's entire hawk body started to jerk around like she was having some kind of seizure. As a result, the sleigh they were on began bobbing in every direction. If there were any doubts about whether or not hawks could visibly go red in the face, they were quickly disproven as Yuki's black feathery cheeks wet as red as tomatoes. "L-Luffy isn't- isn't m-my boyfr-fr-frie- you know... He's m-more li-like a little brother. Yeah, that's r-right. Just because h-he's c-c-cute and sweet, although a bit of an idiot, doesn't mean I'm in lo-love with him!"

'She's so obvious, it's painful,' the others thought in unison. It was bizarre to see the usually cool and calm, but sometimes childish, Yuki to get so flustered. In a way, she was kind of like Captain Lilia. Stern, strict, serious, has a strong and cool aura to her, but now Yuki acted almost… cute, which was a very bizarre thing for almost anyone on the Demon Unit.

"So you and the captain's kid know each other, huh?" Ridge inquired, feeling a little dazed at Yuki's change in demeanor.

"Yeah. For a few years now," Yuki said. "He's different from the captain, but also quite similar. You'll see when you meet him."

"Speaking of which, what's the captain doing taking the Straw Hat crew away like that?" Oscar asked.

"You can bet it's nothing good," Nagika said with a sigh. "I just hope she hasn't done anything too crazy while we were gone, although I highly doubt it."

"Franky!" Nami cried out, after seeing Shauna get behind Franky at lightning fast speed and struck him so hard he fell unconscious. Nami glared at Shauna. "Her speeds gone up a ton!"

"Her power too," Zoro noted. "It shouldn't have taken just one hit to knock out Franky, but she did it any way."

"I've got to admit I'm pretty surprised at how much my physical power has increased," Shauna muttered to herself as she looked at the deep impression her staff left upon the cyborg's flesh. "I assumed every part of him was metal, so I used more force than it would take for a more fleshy person. He'll be feeling that for a while."

"I'm going to restrain her," Robin said in a commanding voice. "I probably won't be able to hold her for too long, so you two hit her with everything you-"

"Sorry, but I won't let you catch me a second time," Shauna's voice came from behind Robin, making the 3 pirates jump.

'How did she get behind me so quickly?!" Robin thought as she made an attempt to escape, but then Shauna swung a hard hand against Robins neck, knocking her to the ground.

"Robin!" Zoro and Nami screamed. Robin groaned, which proved she was at least conscious.

"You're still conscious?" Shauna said with genuine surprise. "Well you have evaded the world government for 20 years, so it makes sense that you're made of tougher stuff than most."

"Thanks for the compliment, but you hit hard," Robin said with a grin as she attempted to get up, but stumbled down. "A bit too hard…."

"Robin!" Nami said with concern as she ran toward her friend. "You okay?"

"More or less," Robin said. "But between her breaking out of my restraints and that blow to my head… I'm at my limit." She left out that the area around her was spinning and she could see at least three of everyone.

Nami smiled at her with sympathy. "I see… well you just get some rest and leave the rest to Zoro and I, 'kay?"

"I can still help… is what I'd like to say, but in the condition I'm in I'd just be a liability at this point," Robin said, feeling ashamed at her uselessness. "I'm sorry."

"You did everything you could've," Nami said with confidence. "Just rest and leave everything to us!"

"Alright, but be careful," Robin said. "Also, she's not a bad person, but… don't let her beat you."

"We won't," Nami assured.

"Nami, watch out!" Robin screamed as she saw Shauna come up from behind Nami. Before Nami could react, Shauna jabbed jabbed her finger past Nami's head, and onto Robin's neck. The next second, the archeologist fell unconscious.

"Robin!" Nami glared at Shauna, who looked confused.

"What? She's just unconscious," Shauna said indifferently. "She couldn't fight anymore so I used a non-lethal knock-out technique to put her unconscious ."

Nami blinked, feeling a strange sense of deja-vu. "So you helped Robin by knocking her unconscious?"

"I just said that."

Nami had to ask. "Would… Luffy's mom do something like that?

"Probably."

"Would your brother do it too?"

"I don't think Ren knows how to do it like I dd. He'd probably hit her really hard," Shauna said after a moment's thought.

"Oh." Nami took a deep breath then screamed "ISN'T THERE A BETTER WAY TO APPROACH A SITUATION THAN THAT!"

Shauna blushed. "What's the problem? I said non-lethal, didn't I?"

"That's not the point!" Nami seethed. "The point is that every single member of your family I've met are insane!"

Shauna was silent, then she grinned, then she giggled lightly with her hand over her mouth. "I guess we all are kind of crazy, haven't we. Out of curiosity, who do you think is the craziest?"

Nami hesitated, but answered with a smile. "I'd Luffy's the craziest, but I get the feeling his mom hasn't shown us just how crazy she can be, and his grandpa is definitely up there with all the crazy people I've met in my li-"

"You guys met Luffy's grandfather?" Shauna said suddenly. "When?"

"At Water 7," Nami answered. "He made quite a mess for us."

"I didn't realize Vice Admiral Garp was so close to us," Shauna said. "He must've gave Luffy quite the hard time, didn't he?"

"Yes he did. Hey wait a minute, if he's Luffy grandpa, then what does that make him to you?" Nami asked.

"Legally speaking, nothing. He's Luffy's paternal grandfather and Ren and I are his maternal cousins, so technically the vice admiral is not our family, but he does tell us to call him Uncle Garp," Shauna explained.

"Oh, I see-" The thought hit Nami like a brick rock. Luffy had a dad and his name was Dragon, the leader of the revolutionaries, who are basically the mortal enemy of the whole World Government, which put Dragon on the very top list of people they wanted to kill. But if Dragon is Luffy's father, then doesn't that mean Lilia is his wife? Luffy didn't know Dragon existed, let alone that he was his dad. Do Ren and Shauna know too? What kind of crazy family situation is this?!

"Hey, Shauna?" Nami began nervously.

"What?" Shauna replied.

"Do you by any chance know who-"

"EXCUSE ME!" Zoro shouted loudly and irritably, cutting off Nami. "So sorry to interrupt your little chat, but, incase you you haven't noticed, we're in middle of a fight here!"

"Oh man! I got chummy with a pirate again! Stupid, stupid, stupid!" Shauna, once again, began bonking her self on the head repeatedly.

"You really are way too hard on yourself, you know?" Nami said, as she watched Shauna hit herself over the head repeatedly.

"Shut up!" Shauna snapped. "I'm a marine, I don't get chummy with pirates!"

"Fine, whatever," Nami said as she rolled her eyes. "But do you really need to stop hitting yourself over the head all the time, you know?"

"You sound like my brother," Shauna groaned.

"Did either of you even hear what I just said?!" Zoro roared.

"Shut up!" Nami shouted.

"But he's right, you know?" Shauna said as she raised her staff. "I have got to finish you guys now."

Shauna swung her bo staff with enough force to knock Nami's head clean off, which would have happened if the latter hadn't narrowly ducked the formers swing.

"H-hold on a second, please," Nami begged as she waved her arms frantically. "At least let me move Robin away safely."

"Fine," Shauna groaned. "But make it quick, would you?"

"Thanks for the generosity," Nami said sarcastically. She hoisted up the unconscious Robin, which was surprisingly easy considering the difference in sizes between her and Robin, and took her far away from the action. Nami laid Robin under the shade of a large boulder.

"Now how do I get out of this situation?" Nami muttered to herself, thinking up of ways to avoid a hopeless fight. There was no chance in hell she could actually take Shauna and she was unsure of even Zoro's chances at victory. She would like to just plain run away, but Shauna had proven that she wouldn't allow her to just run, and her Clima-Tact hadn't proven to be much help against her. Oh wait, her Clima-Tact!

"Are you done yet?!" Shauna yelled from a distance.

"Oh you betcha ya!" Nami yelled in a falsely excited voice. "I'm so ready for a fight!"

Shauna and Zoro raised an eyebrow at Nami's act. Zoro could tell she had something up her sleeve, but Shauna was just weirded out by Nami's change in demeanor.

"Okay, I'm re~a~dy," Nami said in a sickeningly sweet sing song voice.

"Is there something wrong with her brain?" Shauna asked Zoro.

"Yes," Zoro answered bluntly. "But this isn't one of her usual symptoms."

"Are you ready?" Nami said as she approached the bo staff wielding marine with a fake smile and her Clima-Tact in hand.

Shauna eyed the strange blue staff. "That weird weather stick, huh? If you think that's enough to beat me you're in for a very rude awakening."

"My goal isn't to beat you," Nami said as she released those cartoony blue and rd orbs into the sky. "It's to trick you."

"What?" Shauna said with a confused look. Then she felt something tape her head. "Rain?"

In the span of a minute, a mid-sized black cloud appeared over Shauna's head and it began to pour rain, drenching the female marine.

"If I am wet then…." Shauna's eyes widened as Nami's strategy dawned on her.

"That's, right," Nami said with an evil smirk, as she released more and more weather orbs into the sky. "Even with that monstrous speed of yours I doubt you can dodge lightning that's chasing your wet body."

Shauna began to grow nervous, as Zoro grinned with the feeling of being impressed. Even he had to admit that this was a pretty clever plan.

"Thunder tempo!" Nami called, as the sky grew darker because of the increasing size of the thunder cloud, which now covered most of the sky. A tremendous lightning bolt shot down from the large black cloud in the sky and went straight towards the female marine.

'This is it,' Nami thought excitedly, but then something unexpected happened. In some kind of last desperate effort, Shauna frantically raised her right hand in the air and waved it up in the air like a crazy party person. When the Lightning came at her, her hand turned pitch black, then, as if lightning was solid, she grabbed it and flung it randomly away from her. Nami and Zoro's eyes widened at the sight of Shauna catching and throwing a lightning bolt.

"H-how'd you d-do that," Nami said, feeling completely shellshocked.

Shauna took a deep breath and said, "not sure."

"Not sure?!" Nami said louder than she intended to. "You just caught lightning! Lightning!"

'I almost wish I could give her a better answer,' Shauna thought. 'Truth is, Ren and I have been taking lessons from the captain on how to control haki for a couple of months now, but we haven't gotten so good to actually be able to use it whenever we needed it. Truth is, I was just lucky.'

"Don't worry about it," Shauna shouted.

"Don't worry… you know I'm starting to understand how everyone Luffy fights feels," Nami said smiling, despite herself.

"What do you mean?" Zoro asked as he walked over to Nami.

"Everyone who fights Luffy, no matter how sneaky or strong, always gets beat. It's like it's genetic or something."

"I wouldn't go far to say if it's "genetic" or anything like that," Shauna said as she, threateningly, approached the two remaining pirates. "But I guess the way you described Luffy kind of sounds like the captain."

"Listen, Nami," Zoro muttered, as he got into a defensive stance in front of Nami. "I think you should run, because she looks totally pissed at you. Can't blame her, really, after you tried to electrocute her before, I'd be out for blood."

"I'd love to, but, in case you hadn't noticed, she's absolutely determined to make sure we're all beaten to a pulp!" Nami said irritatedly.

"Well I'd try if I were you, because she looks out for blood."

"Come on she doesn't look… yikes!" After seeing the way Shauna was glaring at her, Nami gained a new understanding for the phrase "if looks could kill". Shauna walked casually enough, but the way she looked at Nami made her look almost exactly like Luffy's mom, despite the fact that despite having the same color black hair and pale white skin, they didn't look much alike. As she looked into Shauna's cold darkening eyes, Nami felt life her soul was being looked right into by a monster rather than a girl. It was as though she was radiating killing intent. "Okay… I see your point."

"SHAVE!"

Suddenly, Shauna crossed the dozens of feet between her and Zoro and Nami in an instant, startling them both. Wordlessly, Shauna swung her staff full force at Zoro, who blocked it with both of his swords, but he could feel the force behind it. Infact, the force was s

'Incredible!' Zoro thought as he, barely, held back Shauna's attack. 'Her strength hadn't just doubled, it's tripled! Maybe it's 4 times as much as it was before!?'

"You seemed to powered up a great deal after taking off those weights," Zoro grunted as he glared at Shauna.

"Enough to take you out, I think," Shauna said in an icy cold voice.

"We'll see," Zoro growled as sweat trickled down his face.

"But do you mind moving away for a bit? I've got a bone to pick with Citrus Scalp," Shauna said viciously, then she thought in her head, 'Plus I've got to put her down, so she can't shoot another lightning bolt at me. It was lucky that I could use haki before, but I don't think I'll get lucky a second time.'

"She might be an annoying and greedy little b****, but she's still a crewmate, so if you want her, you'll have to get past me first," Zoro said.

"That's sweet and all, but where is she?" Shauna asked.

Zoro stared at her blankly. "What're you talking about? She's right behind me."

"No she ain't," Shauna retorted.

"What?!" Zoro broke their lingering clash, then he jerked his head backwards to see that Nami wasn't there anymore, but, in the span of less than a minute, as though she too could use the Shave technique, was now a mile away from Zoro and Shauna. Zoro, angrily, screamed, "How the hell did that cowardly brat get over there?!"

"Go for it, Zoro," Nami screamed loud enough to easily hear her. "I know you can do it!"

"Why try fighting instead of cheering, huh?!" Zoro shouted angrily.

"Oh, come on," Nami shouted. "I tried to fight, but it didn't work, remember? So now I think I'll leave the rest to you."

"Why you little…." Zoro grumbled

"Those two act like a brother and sister," Shauna muttered to herself. "Whatever."

Immediately, Shauna swung her bo staff straight at Zoro, who, quickly, lunged to the the side to avoid it. Zoro didn't bother making any snide remarks, he just attacked. Zoro knew that putting any kind of faith in his defense backfire would backfire against Shauna's incredible level of strength and power. His only option was to attack and endure any hits she lands against him.

"OOF!" Shauna winced as Zoro cut her right below her left shoulder, then she smirked. 'So you're gonna abandon defense and just stick to offense, eh, Veggie Top? It's a gutsy move, I'll give you that, so I'll just return the favor!'

Shauna swung her bo staff directly below Zoro's left shoulder- the same spot Zoro cut her.

"Urk!" Zoro winced, as he heard a crack sound. 'Did she crack a bone? She probably did.'

From the distance, Nami watched the fight and grew concerned as she saw that Zoro seemed to be on the losing end of the battle. She wondered if there was something she could do, but she knew her options were limited. If she tried to strike her with lightning, Shauna would deflect it. She wasn't any good at close combat either, although she does know a little bit about staff fighting, Shauna was easily better than her. And seduction was totally off the table. None of her usual tricks would work against her… except, maybe, one. It was kind of a long shot, but at this point anything was worth a try, right?

"Hey, Zoro!" Nami shouted from the distance.

"What?!" Zoro rasped, as he kept fighting Shauna.

"I'm gonna try one more thing, so get ready to attack, got it?" Nami ordered.

"First of all, I'm always ready to attack, and second, you already tried to beat her and failed, so just let me handle it from here!"

"Zoro…." Nami whispered. "I didn't know you cared so much, but don't worry, I'm approximately thirty percent sure that this plan will work."

"I'm not worried, and by the way those are terrible odds!" Zoro growled.

Throughout the conversation between Zoro and Nami, Shauna was thinking, 'if she's planning to throw another lightning bolt, I might be done for. It was pure luck that I deflected it the first time. And one more thing, how lax are these guys to be having a strategic conversation in the middle of a battle, while in the middle of a fight!'

"You sure are a lax guy, Veggie Top," Shauna said in a strained voice as she pushed against Zoro's swords. "To be having a conversation with Citrus Scalp over there while fighting me is pretty impressive in it's own way. Honestly I can't tell if you guys just aren't taking me seriously or if it's you're just don't know how to take things seriously."

"Trust me when I say that I'm doing nothing, but taking you absolutely seriously," Zoro said while grinning as he pushed back. "I'll prove it by finishing you off!"

"We'll see about that, won't we, Veggie Top?"

"Mirage Tempo!" Nami declared. With her Clima-Tact, Nami released multiple multi-colored orbs in the sky, created another large rain cloud, which immediately started to rain.

"Dang!" Shauna muttered, then immediately, in desperation, kicked Zoro right in the gut, which sent him sliding back at least ten feet away. She couldn't let herself get wet, since there was no way she could manifest more haki a second time, so time she spun her bo staff over her head at high speed to blow away the rain drops.

But that was unnecessary. Nami's goal was not to electrocute Shauna, it was to confuse her. Before anyone knew what was happening, a bunch of bizarre looking Nami clones appeared out of nowhere and surrounded the entire battle field. The clones consisted of tall and impossibly skinny Namis, big and fat Nami's, short and manish looking Nami's, and small and child-like Namis.

"This is weird…." Shauna said after a moment.

"I have to agree…." Zoro nodded.

'Zoro, you idiot! I'm giving you an opportunity here and you're blowing it!' Nami thought. 'Well, I guess I can't expect someone as slow as him to take a hint? I'll just have to blast her with lightning again, since it seems to me, even though she can deflect it, she isn't immune to-'

"Gah…!" Nami gasped as Shauna crossed the wide distance between them and slammed her bo staff in Nami's gut. As Nami fell, she said in a quiet voice, "H-how…?"

"I won't pretend I understood what your entire plan was," Shauna said as she looked down at Nami's unconscious form, "but I guess whatever it was, it wouldn't be good for me."

"I have to admit that I'm impressed," Zoro said as he, calmly, approached Shauna, swords unsheathed, killer instincts ablaze. "I have to ask, how'd you know exactly where she was? Even I couldn't tell which was the real one."

After a moment of tense silence, Shauma answered. "Ren and I have above average eyesight, when compared to other people, so we can see farther and more clearer than a normal person. I saw a silhouette of her and figured that was the real one, so I attacked. Simple really," Shauna added with a smirk.

"Simple," Zoro repeated with a blank face. "That's definitely impressive and all, but, as I'm sure you can imagine, after seeing my crewmates taken down like this, I'm too annoyed to be amazed."

"I don't blame you," Shauna said emotionlessly. 'The amount of pressure coming off this guy has increased. I better take him down now.'

"Right now you have a broken arm and I've lost a significant amount of blood," Shauna said as she looked down at her bloodied clothes. "So it's obvious that you and I have to finish this in one final attack."

"Enough talk," Zoro said roughly. It might be her imagination, but Shauna could swear that Zoro was multiplying. No, he was! "Six Swords Style: Asura!"

There were 6 swords and three Zoros, each face looking in every direction. It was a bizarre thing to see, to say the least. It looked like more than just duplication, or rather it wasn't duplication, but actually three bodies attached to one another that are looking in every direction. Regardless of what it was, Shauna looked relatively calm.

"Crazy technique, Veggie Top," Shana said calmly as she got into a stance. "But Demon Asura really doesn't compare to Demon Lilia, you know?"

"Wish I could argue," he said, which was bizarre sight to see, to be sure. "But I can't, but it's not her I'm fighting."

"Point taken."

Neither one said another word. Shauna was covered in cuts, which stained her uniform the color red. Zoro had a broken arm, some swelling on his face, bruises on his arms, and blood flowed out of his mouth. Both were breathing hard. Both of them knew that their next attack would be their final attack.

The charged at each other, metal was flying. within a minute, Zoro landed a very serious blow on Shauna's arms. Blood flew out. For a brief second, he thought he'd won.

Then Shauna pulled out her final attack.

"IMPACT SMASH!" With a downward motion, Shauna slammed her staff onto Zoro's whole body. The power with that attack was so incredible, that it made the sand jump up, the earth to quake, and left enormous crater that had to be at least 50 feet deep and wide enough that Nami, Robin, and Franky's unconscious bodies fell in as well.

Shauna was still standing. She was breathing hard, her face was covered in sweat, and her arms were bleeding profusely, but she figured it wouldn't be too hard to patch up her wounds, considering she's survived much, much worse. She looked down at Zoro's unconscious body. He wouldn't be moving for a while. He was beaten.

Shauna had won.

The next thing she did was tear off the lower halves of uniform into two pieces and wrapped them around her wounds to stop the bleeding. "Not exactly a first class treatment, but it will do till the doc checks me out, although he'll probably yell at me for getting so badly injured…."

Shauna glanced at the three other unconscious bodies, which were spread across the battlefield. Franky was hanging limply at the top edge of the crater, and Robin and Nami fell into the crater while it was forming. Shauna decided to perform a small kindness. She used Moon Bounce to get to Franky, lifted him up with her superhuman strength, then carried his unconscious body and laid it next to Zoro. After that, she hefted Nami and Robin and laid them with Zoro and Franky.

"This is the least I could do," Shauna said as she wiped the sweat off her forehead. "Whatever you call them, they still have taken care of Luffy and that can't have been easy. Well, I better get to where Captain Lilia is. I wonder if Ren managed his fight okay? That blonde guy really seemed to dislike him."

Shauna used Moon Bounce to get to the top of the crater, but when she landed, her wounds were agitated and a piercing pain spread across her whole body. Shauna winced, "guess I should avoid using Moon Bounce, at least until my wounds heal up."

Shauna walked to where her Captain was, leaving the four defeated Straw Hats, neatly placed, in the center of the crater that she created.

That's it Shauna won. To anyone who thinks Zoro should've won, I just want to say that this is my story, so I'm allowed to do what I want with, ain't I? To anyone who wants to argue that Zoro promised Luffy that he'd never lose, he already lost to Eneru and Lucci, so Shauna beating him doesn't make that big a difference, besides losing helps you grow.

So I want all the readers to review please. Review about the Demonic Six. What'd you think of them so far? How did I do during the fight scenes? What'd you think of Shauna's nicknames for Zoro and Nami?

Next chapter is the conclusion of this arc, which is called the Lilia arc. What will happen between Luffy and his mom? What will happen when the Demonic Six arrive? Who is Jillian? Loved to hear your guesses.

Read and Review.
