Nami, Usoppp, Brook, Chopper and Lara were walking off the guy that tried to assault both Nami and Lara. Even covered with blood they could move normally, while Usopp, Brook and Chopper felt like they were gonna puke over how gruesome that scene was, but Nami told them to hold their barfs and continue to move on. They had a job to do.
''So, what we do now?''' Asked Chopper seeing all the horror that was all around them
''We keep moving.'' Said both Lara and Nami.
''Nami, Lara I think is a little too much ok. Cant we just stay hidden until either Luffy, Zoro, Sanji or one of Lara badass friends come along?" Asked Usopp all shaken
''Sorry Usopp we can't do that.'' Said Lara
''Yeah is time to we fight our own fight.'' Sad Nami
''But I don't know if I can handle those guys, they armed to the teeth and I´m very fragile near bullets.'' Said Usopp still afraid
''Me too.'' Said both Chopper and Brook all scared.
''Can you shut up!'' Scream Nami
''Silence"'' Said Lara
They were now a little far ahead from Lara and Nami previous encounter and soon discover some more terrorist. They soon hide behind some boxes as they hear the villains talk out loud.
''Is everyone here?" Asked the thug.
They all stay hidden in those boxes until they had a plan of what to do. The problem is that they don't know how many are near them, even before either Usopp or Nami come up with a plan a guy with a bow and arrow try to shoot them and misses for a finger their skin
''AAAAAH.'' Scream Nami blowing up the cover
''Archers! Why it had to be arches.'' Scream Usopp
''There they are!'' Scream one of the villains.
''Outsiders! Get out none of you have the upper hand.'' Said another one
Lara got some new ammo from a fallen victim of the terrorist she felt ready as either Straw hat had their serious face now. Nami got her clime tempo, Chopper was in human form, Usopp with his slingh shot and Brook with his sword ready.
''We are here!'' Said Lara
''What are you doing.'' Said Nami confused
''Come at us and we can defeat you all.'' Scream Lara with her gun and bow ready
''Wait Lara!'' Scream Nami following her
As soon Lara gave their location and the villains soon started to follow the pirates/adventures.
''They are there.'' Said another terrorist
''Oh crap'' Said Nami and Lara
''RUN!'' Scream Usopp.
They all had to deal with the terrorist one by one. Nami electrocute some of those guys, Lara shoot some of them in the stomach, Usopp hit them with his explosive bombs, Chopper use his kung fu moves while Brook cut them very fast.
After beating everyone, they hear more coming and it appears it could be more than those guys. They wanted to run but there is no exit, but there is a door in their way
''Is stuck!'' Said Chopper in fear
''Not if we open it up by force.'' Said Lara with her weapon in her hand.
With Lara and Nami working together managed to open the door, but it was too heavy to close by itself, so they had to push it.
''Close, close!'' Scream Usopp nervous at the side
''Little hand here Usopp!'' Scream Nami
''Sorry.'''' Said Usopp helping them out
''Kill them!'' Scream another terrorist
''murderers!' Scream another one.
As soon that the door close the team felt a little safer, but they soon saw that the room was catching fire. Soon they all start to scream.
''What we do know?'' Asked Brook
''An opening.'' Said Usopp seeing that.
''Good eye Usopp.'' Said Lara
''Chopper break that.'' Said Nami.
''Right.'' Said Chopper kicking the opening down and getting them a chance to escape.
After they escape the room, they were outside, but they knew that it wasn't over. They still had a long way to go.
''Let's run like hell!'' Scream Usopp.
''We could just follow the tracks. We can find some camping sights and then we can look for our friends.'' Said Lara
''Good idea'' Said Nami
The group was going off on their own when suddenly more terrorist appeared, and they had to hide again.
''How many of these guys are here. It's like they keep coming back.'' Said Usopp tired of them.
''I don't know.'' Said Nami
''Keep taking them out, we can do this.'' Said Lara with a smile
Nami and Lara work together once again. Nami using her clime tempo managed to electrocute many of these assholes as she could
''Bastards.'' Said her
Chopper using his kung fu moves managed to beat the man down and knock them out.
''You hurt people; I already hate you.'' Said Chopper all cold.
Usopp using his slingshot managed to hit and every single one of the terrorists and soon used Usopp hammer to finish this off.
'Your only mistake was to ever come across the path of the mighty Captain Usopp.'' Said Usopp adjusting his goggles
Brook using his swords cut the man very fast that was impossible to track.
'All of you are filthy rats. I hope the sound of my tongue clicking at your bodies is a enough sound to make your lives a little brighter. Wait a minute I don't have a tongue, Yohoho.''
Lara was shooting bad guys left and right and saw her new friends attitude. They were incredible.
''They are amazing!' Said her
After this was done, they went back to follow the tracks.
''I hope this doesn't get boring. '' Said Nami seeing all these guys defeated.
''There is a lightly chance that there is more of these guys around here.'' Said Lara.
''Good for us. Any plans?" Asked Usopp.
''If we go north and upper ahead, we might get lost of their visual.'' Said Lara.
''Let's go with Lara plan.'' Said Nami
''Better. I hope to not seen any of these ugly bastards any day soon.'' Said Usopp
As soon as they start to move even futher more bad guys appear and with guns no last
''More guys!'' Said Usopp irritated
''So, what did you heard in the radio?" Asked a terrorist
''A small group of survivors are taking out all of our men.'' Said another one
''So, what we do if we see them?" Asked the other one.
''Kill them all and chop all of their body parts so the animals can feast on them.'' Said the other terrorist laughing like a maniac as the other one join in his fun
The pirates only gulp at that. While those guys were weak, they were like a thousand of them around here and they had guns with them, if they dotn get careful they could die.
''luffy, guys where you are be careful.'' Thought Nami
At Luffy group
The Straw hat captain and his friends had just beat the hell out of a bunch of thugs and was now walking at the forest with not a care in the world
''Those guys are boring.'' Said Luffy seeing the defeated opponent.
''Yeah they are not even worth a fight.'' Said Zoro.
''If they hurt Nami-swan or lara chan I will break their skulls.'' Said Sanji all pissed
''Can you shut up you pervert!'' Said Zoro
'What did you said marino?" Asked Sanji
''Wanna fight?'' Asked Zoro
''Bros not the best time.'' Said Franky separating them.
''Franky is right. We have to rescue our friends.'' Said Luffy
''We should think also of why there is so many mercenaries on this island, for what Lara told us that doesn't even make any sense.'' Said Robin making assumptions
''Good point.'' Said Zoro
Luffy and the group then started to walk a little more ot the front until they are face to face with a wall full of ancient text.
''Hey…'' Said Robin intrigued.
''They look like some ancient text or something.'' Said Zoro
'Yeah probably what Lara-chan group was looking for.'' Said Sanji
Robin then went down to look at the text and see what can she could make out of it.
''Hey Robin, what are you doing?" Asked Luffy.
''I´m reading these texts. If we learn more about Himiko maybe.'' Said her
''Yeah if these people are followers of this goddess maybe there is something written there that can actually help us fight them.'' Said Zoro
''I just need some light.'' Said her
''Wait a second.'' Said Franky
Franky then open his stomach and revealed a flashlight right there on the spot. The things that he hides in that body
''Here!'' Said Franky
''thanks Franky.'' Said Robin smiling.
''Dammit. Why I´m not impressing the ladies lately?" Thought Sanji all sad.
Robin then read the text and was intrigued with that she found
''Intriguing it says here that Himiko had trustworthy followers that would do anything that would please her. Even giving up their bodies.'' Said her
''So, what do you think this message is saying?'' Asked Franky confused.
'I don't know. There is not enough information here for me to have an idea, but I will keep that in mind.'' Said her
''Maybe those guys that are following us are part of a cult.'' Said Zoro
''A mystery cult.'' Said Luffy
''No, I think is a cult dedicated to this goddess here.'' Said Sanji smoking
''Yes, that can be a possibility.'' Said Robin
''I think they want something more than just kill a bunch of people in a deserted island.'' Said Zoro.
''Yes, Zoro you´re right. Something more wicked is upon us.'' Said Robin
While they were walking back to their track they couldn't stop thinking about their friends.
''How do you think Nami and the others are doing?'' Asked Luffy
Back to Lara and the others.
The group was running for their lives at a bunch of terrorists shooting at them with machine guns and arrows.
''Kill them all!'' Scream the bad guys
''Why this is happening to us!" Said Usopp in tears
Back to Luffy group
''I´m sure they´re fine.'' Said Robin with a smile
''I don't trust Usopp taking care of Nam.'' Said Sanji
''Let's keep moving and maybe we can find them quickly.'' Said Luffy
The group did that and soon end up in another cave nothing to be worried that is untilt their hear.
''Aoooo.''
''Wolfes!'' Said the group in their positions
''More of those things.'' Said Sanji
''Here they come.'' Said Franky
A pack of wolves went to attack the pirates but of course they beat them easily. Luffy punched them, Zoro cut them, Robin break their spines, Sanji kicked them and Franky shoot at them.
''Come here!'' Said Luffy wanting to fight more wolves
''I will make a nice stew out of you bastards.'' Said Sanji
''I could use a wolf a carpet in my room'' Said Zoro looking at the down beasts
''yes, it would be lovely to put on the library. 'Said Robin with a smile.
After this was done and the wolves left, Luffy still felt unhappy
''Hey, come there isn't any more? I want to beat more wolves.'' Said Luffy
''Luffy I think is enough of wolve fight for now.'' Said Sanji
Luffy then saw one of the wolves had a bag on his mouth, since it didn't belong to the animal Luffy punched him out cold and grabbed it.
''Give it to me. Bad dog.'' Said Luffy
''What is that?'' Asked Franky seeing the bag
''I guess an emergency supply.'' Said Robin looking at all the things inside.
''Those are medical care things.'' Said Zoro
''Bandages.'' Said Sanji
''Food!'' Said Luffy eating some survival food.
''don't eat this. There is someone out there that this might be the last bit of food that he has left.'' Said Sanji kicking Luffy
''Sorry but I´m so hungry.'' Said Luffy all sad
''You are really a lousy captain.'' Said Sanji all pissed.
After that was done, they all walked out of the cave with the bag still with them and soon Luffy sensed something wrong.
''Wait a minute…'' Said Luffy seeing something.
''What is wrong Luffy?" Asked Franky
''There! An old guy bleeding!' Said Luffy seeing Roth all alone and bleeding
''Really. Where?" Asked Zoro
They all saw Luffy pointing at Roth and soon he dahs out to help him
''What are we waiting for let's go help him!" Scream him
Luffy and the others soon went down and found the wounded explorer.
''Hey!'' Said Luffy getting the old man attention
''What…'' Said Roth confused
''Hey sir, are you badly injured?'' Asked Luffy to him
''Yes, who are you people?" Asked Roth
''I´m Luffy, those are Zoro, Sanji, Robin and Franky'' Said Luffy introducing his friends.
''Wait you are the people that were with Lara.'' Said him surprising the pirates.
''You know her old man?'' Asked Sanji
''Yes, my name is…''
''Roth!'' Said Lara
The group then saw Lara group and she was with their friend and they were all wrecked and looking like they had the worst night ever.
''Guys!'' Said Luffy all happy to see his friends again
''Nami-swan I´m so…'' Said Sanji ready to kiss nami but she punched him.
''So how did you got here?" Asked Nami
''We got lost in the woods, enter some caves and now we are here. What about you?" Asked Luffy
''We only follow the tracks.'' Said her
''While we are running, we pass around some thousands of crazy guys who wanted to kill us.'' Sad Usopp all sad.
''Really. You were stuck with a bunch of awesome fights; you are so lucky Usopp.'' Said Luffy
''It was a nightmare. I would rather go back to Ennis Lobb than those last five minutes.'' Said Usopp in tears.
''You sound like you got a hell of an adventure.'' Said Zoro with a smirk
''Well I´m not used to be in these kind of death traps ok. I´m the sniper I stay far away from the crossfire not in the middle of it.'' Said Usopp all pissed
''Sure.'' Said Zoro
''Oh no he is critical condition.'' Said Chopper seeing Roth
''What happened to you?" Asked Lara
''Wolf attacked me and took of my supply.'' Said Roth
''You mean those weak wolves that we face off. Also, this bag.'' Said Luffy giving Roth his bag back
''You got them also beat the wolves?''' Asked Roth
''Yes. We beat all of them for you.'' Said Luffy with a smile
''Thanks, they deserved it.'' Said Roth
''Chopper can you look over him?" Asked Robin
''Yes, I can.'' Said Chopper checking Roth injuries
''Let me assist you.'' Said Lara
''Sure.'' Said Chopper
After a while
''There it should be good enough for you.'' Said Lara to the now patched Roth
Roth was now with his leg all patched and feeling a lot better than before.
''Thank you so much. But how does a lady like you learned how to do that?'' Asked him to Lara.
''Late shift at the nine bells.'' Said Lara with a laugh
After a quick rest it was time to get serious again.
''Relaxing for a time is the best call at the moment. Because after that more horror shows.'' Said Usopp
''Yes, so what now?' Asked Brook
''Since you guys got the radio, we need to take that into the radio tower. This way we can send a transmission to outside and get more help to deal with those lunatics.'' Said Roth
''This seen like the best plan.'' Said Robin
''Yeah, he is right. We can send a signal and then go back into fighting.'' Said Sanji
''I guess this can be fun.'' Said Luffy
''And where is the radio tower?'' Asked Chopper
''Up there.'' Said Roth pointing at the radio tower
The straw hats saw that it was at the top of the mountain is gonna take hours to get there.
''Oh hell.'' Said Nami, Chopper and Brook in horror
''Franky can't you just see if you can send a transmission from here. You are a super engineer.'' Said Usopp
''Let me see this.' Said Franky checking the radil
After a few minutes Franky gave his results.
''Sorry bros. We need more power and by the looks that station is our only hope. Plus, this technology wouldn't match with the ones on the sunny, so this is our best chance.'' Said him
''Is ok we are not afraid of a challenge.'' Said Luffy
'They are probably more of those people on the way to there.'' Said Lara
''We have to keep moving. This way we can get out of this island faster.'' Said Zoro
''Those bastards are a nightmare that never stop.'' Said Usopp in tears
''Yeah people keep repeating like they are just there.'' Said Nami
''There are some that even look like the same guy.'' Said Chopper
''Where did they get these lunatics?'' Asked Brook
''It doesn't help that they are part of a cult.'' Said Usopp
''So how are we goona get up there. Unless we fly there.'' Said Sanji to Roth
''You all need to start climb those mountains. There you all will find a path that will lead to the tower, but I cant guarantee this will be a easy job. There are still mercenary out there, plus violent creatures and other terrors. Lara you need to go there, you are the only one who has connection with the military to make them come to get us. You need to go up there.'' Said him to Lara.
''No I cant. I´m not brave enough.'' Said her
The Straw Hats were feeling a few bad for Lara. This might be her first big adventure and she was never prepared. But they are there to give her a hand.
''You can do this Lara. I saw you do impossible things before; you are a Croft don't forget about that. '' Said Roth
''Yes, Lara what we saw you doing back there was amazing. You are a warrior, but you gonna need a lot of help into getting there.'' Said Nami
''So, I´m guessing you all are gonna be with her. Well good luck all of you and protect her.'' Said Roth
''You can count on us Roth.'' Said Sanji
''So how are we gonna get up there?" Asked Franky
''Use this to climb.'' Said Roth showing Lara his axe.
''Really?" Asked Lara.
''I think if you press hard enough in a few stones it can be used to help climb.'' Said Usopp looking at the weapon
''Good idea Usopp'' Said Lara
''Then I guess we are using this.'' Said Zoro
The group plus Lara was now ready to go to the radio tower. Is gonna be a challenge but they were ready
''let's go!'' Said Luffy leading the group.
After passing a few caves and tracks they were now climbing some walls and Usopp was acting cowardly again.
''Why we have to come. I have the ´´Can't go to deadly radio tower´´ diseases'' Said Usop
''Shut up!'' Said most of the group
After exploring a new cave the soon find some huge bags filled with meat.
'What are those things?" Asked Nami
''Gilded figures. Servants of the sun queen.'' Said Lara
''I don't like those things.'' Said Usopp
They also find some mechanism that could be their way to go to the other side but it might take a while to make it work right.
''I guess we need to figure out on how to make this work.'' Said Lara
''Let me do this.'' Said Franky using his robot arm to grab one the things and soon make everyone got to the other side easily
''Wow you are handy Franky.' Said Lara
''Thanks. I do my best girl'' Said Franky
The group then went ahead find a room full of thousands humans' skulls
''Look at all those skulls!' Said Lufy making everyone in horror.
''I don't wanna know how they got here.'' Said Nami
''Hey, do you think some of those bones might be meat bones?'' Asked Luffy
''luffy does aren't to eat. They were from actual living people.'' Said Usopp
''Oh ew.'' Said Luffy
''Ew that is your only reaction!'' Said Chopper and Usopp in unison
''Hey look.'' Said Brook seeing something
''A chest!'' Said the pirates.
''Whoa maybe there is a treasure or something inside.'' Said Nami with her thief side appearing once agian
''Let's open.'' Said Luffy
The group all open the chest and find something truly incredible.
''Wow.'' Said everyone
After Lara guard the item, they went back to go to their next step
''We did raid that tomb?'' Asked Chopper
''We are the straw-hat treasure hunter.'' Said Luffy
''One time I discovered a huge chest made out of gold and was filled of giant diamonds. It took me 42 hours to get it home, but I managed all alone.'' Said Usopp with another lie
''Really?'' Said Luffy and Chopper amazed at.
''Not the time to talk nonsense. I wanna get out of here!' Said Nami in fear
''I agree is so boring.'' Said Roin
Lara was looking at the track and saw that they are no way close to the radio tower.
''We still have a long way to get there.'' Said her
The group then get of the cave only to find more terrorists in their way
''More of them.'' Said Zoro getting his swords ready
After the bad guys were deal, they all go back to their destination
''This is becoming boring. Can't these assholes be more challenging.'' Said Zoro
''oH shut up.'' Said Sanji
Soon they were out of the cave but now the wind was very violent.
''The wind is getting stronger.'' Said Lara
''Be careful. We might get caught by the storm.'' Said Nami
''AAAAAH!" Scream Brook being carried away by the wind
''BROOK!' Scream the crew
After getting Brook back they all continued to walk to their destination and of course it felt like an eternity
Evenly they found a small camp and decided to go there.
''Hey look a camp.'' Said Luffy
''Let rest for a few minutes and then get back to the mission.'' Said Usopp falling into the ground all tired.
They did that and it was worthy.
''Is still a long way to get to the tower.'' Said Nami
''Yes, I think is gonna take us a couple of hours.'' Said Lara.
''Oh joy.'' Said Usopp
'Let just eat something before we go around beating people up.' Said Sanji
'Agreed.'' Said Robin
The group after the rest was ready to do some more exploring as Luffy was already excited.
''This island want us to die here. But I´m not letting this happen to any of my nakama. Do you hear that island and weird sun goddess we are gonna beat you all!' Scream Luffy to the skies
''We still have hope. We will find my friend, they are counting on us, they are counting on me to rescue them.'' Said her.
The Straw Hats smile at Lara growth of character as they intend to help her out.
''We believe in you Lara. We will help you out.'' Said Luffy
With those words Lara smile as they all went ahead
