One hour later

The group kept walking and walking nonstop. Most of them were getting tired, and they had to keep a close eye on Zoro because every few meters he was getting lost. It was almost ridiculous, but if they wanted to re group with the others, they must do this.

''Lara, can we take a break?" Asked Chopper

''Hey, we need to walk, Roth is waiting for us.'' Said her.

''So, this is our point now? Walk a lot to find an old man?" Asked Usopp.

''Please just look at the bright side.'' Said Lara.

''Like what?" Asked Franky.

''I am just glad that the storm is over.'' Said Robin

''At least something good for once.'' Said Zoro

''But is still weird that it appeared out of the blue.'' Said Nami

''One minute was all calm and suddenly is wildly strong.'' Said Robin.

''Is like the island is trying to make us suffer.'' Said Brook

Soon they thought about the legends that they heard when they got in the island and Robin being the history lover of the group was the first one to speak.

''It might be tied with the worshiping.'' Said her.

''What are you saying?" Asked Lara.

''Maybe this is all connected. Those people we keep fighting are followers of Himiko, so they must be fighting for their Goddess to protect this island.'' Said Robin.

''Oh, praise Himiko. Leave us alone!'' Scream Usopp

''Do you think is the goddess doing this?'' Asked Zoro

''Yes, no doubt about it.'' Said Usopp

''You are all crazy. Gods don't exist.'' Said Zoro and that caused a huge storm out.

Soon the group found Roth and later discovered that another pilot survived the attack. So of course, the group wanted to rescue him, despise of Roth objection.

It took the group another long walk to get towards the other pilot.

''Phew this walk are sure getting ridiculous.'' Said Sanji all tired.

''Yes, but they are not that hard to follow.'' Said Franky

''Mostly was just patterned.'' Said Nami.

''But here we are finally reaching our destination.'' Said Zoro.

''Yes.'' Said Luffy.

Soon the group find themselves faced to what looked like a giant ancient temple and right in front of the stairs was a very injured pilot.

''Hey, I found the other guy.'' Said Luffy.

''Look, he is injured.'' Said Chopper

''Its one of the pilots.'' Said Nami

''Captain Jessop don't worry we are coming.'' Said Lara.

However, the rescue was cut short when a bunch of red barrels was throw in their direction.

''What?" Asked Nami confused.

''Look out!'' Scream Usopp fleeing from the sniper who send out the bombs.

BOOM

The explosion was so big that shook off the entire group. Most of them were having a ringing in their ear that would eventually go away but they still felt a little groggy.

''What that hell was that?'' Asked Sanji

''Is more of those guys.'' Said Luffy pissed.

''You fools! Stop that.'' Scream Brook

''Huh.'' Said Lara all confused.

They all look at Lara direction and saw a new person. He looked like in his 30s and was dressed in a white hood in his head.

''Who is this guy?" Asked Luffy

''For child's you all caused me a great deal of trouble. But all of you are naïve and predictable. Kill them!'' Scream the mysterious guy.

Soon a bunch of thugs appeared and knocked all of the straw Hats hard on the head.

''What…'' Said Luffy loosing conscious and seeing his nakamas being taken out.

''Oh, my I feel my eyes closing. Oh, wait I don't have eyes yohoho.'' Said Brook.

The other thugs saw Brook was still conscious.

''Wait, there is one still awaken.'' Said one of them.

''Knock him harder.'' Said another one hitting Brook hard on the skull.

BOMP

''Ok that should do it.'' Said brook loosing conscious.

Now that Lara and the Straw Hats had loose conscious all the thugs took them into a new location.

A few hours later.

Usopp was waking up from a nice nap, however he felt something weird. Like his blood going to the top of his head.

''Where am…'' Said him.

He soon found himself in a horror room and he had only one thing to do: Scream at the top of his lounges.

''AAAAAAAAAAAAAH!'' Scream Usopp.

''Usopp what is…'' Asked Nami and upon she opens her eyes she saw what the snipe was screaming at.

The straw Hats and Lara soon all awaken and saw what Usopp was screaming at. They were hanging upside down on room full of human flesh and carcasses. They were fresh bodies still near them and it appears they would be next in line in that butcher shop.

''Well, this is something I never thought to see.'' Said Luffy all casual as he sees the situation that he was in now.
