One Piece Fanfic: The Krull Pirate Crew

Still with me, are ya? I appreciate it. :)
I think that this chapter probably took about an hour to fully write. To plan it though.. Yikes, I spent far too long doing that! So, Vivi has escaped and one the the Krull Pirates has been knocked out, and I bet that you can probably guess what will happen just by the name of this chapter! And the end of this chapter kind of says "Hey, the end shouldn't be too far away now" but you never know. The truth is, I've been having a lot of fun writing this ad I'm happy that you are sticking around! :)

Vivi quietly walked down the peaceful forest path, eager to get back to the ship.
This forest is so beautiful... I can't believe it harbors such evil though! She thought to herself as she took small, careful steps over sticks and leaves.
She continued to worry that maybe Juggernaut would realize who she really was and would come after her.. Or maybe even Hatori..
"Stop thinking that, it's silly." She told herself harshly.
Just then, she heard a ruffle in the bushes. She paused and looked in the direction it had come from.
"Hello?" She asked quietly. She was starting to feel nervous.
Slowly, she started to walk towards the bushes where she heard the sound.
"Is anyone there?" She called out to the bushes.
This is ridiculous, it was probably just a bird! She thought to herself.
When she reached the bushes, she reached down with one hand and started to pull the push towards her. All of a sudden, someone or something leaped out of the bushes. Vivi jumped back startled and then realized that it was just a kid.
"Oh.. You scared me!" She said as she breathed a sigh of relief.
"S-Shut up! Stupid pirate! Leave me alone!!" The kid screamed as he turned and ran away down the path.
Vivi blinked a few times. "What was that about.. Is there a town on this island?"
After gathering her senses, Vivi set out again, but this time she wasn't aiming to go to the ship..
Hatori slowly opened his eyes and yawned. "Uhh.. Where am I?" He asked, puzzled.
After a moment of just laying there, his eyes widened and he jumped up. A quick survey of the room told him what he hoped wasn't true.. But it was.
"The princess is gone!" He cried with wide eyes.
He ran outside without haste and threw the barracks door open. Juggernaut was playing cards with Reza. Juggernaut looked up at Hatori and grunted. "What are you doing here? Shouldn't you be keeping an eye on the princess?"
Hatori felt the sweat on his forehead spill out in waterfalls. "S-She's.. Gone!!" He stammered as he looked at the faces of Juggernaut and Reza.
"Gone!? What if she goes back to the ship! Captain Krull will be in danger!" Reza cried out. "We have to find her!! We have to!"
"It's Hatori's mess so he must fix it." Came a voice from the back of the room. Everyone turned to see Yu looking a lot better.
"Yu.." Hatori began.
"You managed to let her escape, Hatori.. So its up to you to do something about this before all hell breaks lose." Yu told him coldly.
Hatori managed a half nod. "O-Okay.. I'll just.. Go after her or something.."
"Do it quickly." Yu instructed.
Hatori mumbled something as he fiddled with the door knob. The door slowly opened and Hatori slid out.
"Huh.. How could he let a tied up girl escape!?" Juggernaut growled.
Yu didn't answer.
Hatori slowly walked down the path with his machete in his hand. "Come on out, princess.. I gotta take ya back." He groaned.
In his head flashed the very moment Vivi had knocked him unconscious. He had turned around only to see her feet right there waiting for him.. And then they came at him. The rest was blank.
"That sneaky little.." He grumbled as he continued down the path.
He continued to walk for another ten minutes or so when he stopped at looked around. He was at the shore and right in front of him was the ship he didn't want to see.
"H-How the hell did I manage to end up here without noticing!?" He cried.
A few faces appeared on top right after he said this.
"Who the hell are you?" Zoro asked with a dark expression on his face.
Hatori felt his heart miss a beat. "Where is Vivi! I have come to capture her... Again!"
Vivi appeared up top and looked down at Hatori.
"You!! How dare you escape from me!" He growled as he pointed at her.
Vivi's eyes darkened and she did not reply. She appeared to be fairly angry about something. Without a word, she turned and walked away.
"Are you the one who turned invisible?!" Nami asked.
Hatori heard this and instantly stood high and proud. "Yes, yes! That was me!"
Nami sighed. "You don't seem very threatening to me.. Or very cunning."
"Shut up! I am a master thief! MASTER THIEF!!" He spat at her.
A look of pure delight spread across her face. "A thief, huh?"
Hatori crossed his arms. "Thats right, whats it to you!?"
Sanji smiled. "No matter how good of a thief you think you are, you cannot be better than Nami-san!" His eyes suddenly lit up into massive hearts. "She's so clever!"
Hatori snorted. "She doesn't even look like she could steal pie from a window."
Nami's eyes widened. "I used to do that when I was a kid!"
She turned to Sanji with a small smile on her face. "Sanji-kun..."
Sanji looked from Nami to Hatori and then back at Nami. There was clearly some tension in the air. It took him a moment to realize what Nami wanted.
"Oh! Right away Nami-san!!" He said in a sly voice, but his eyes were in love.
He twirled away to the other end of the ship singing "Anyyyytthhiiiing for Nami-saaaaan!!!"
Once he returned, he handed Nami's trademark weapon to her.
Hatori raised an eyebrow. "Whats this.. ?"
Nami closed her eyes and smiled.
"Answer me, damn it!!" Hatori shouted.
Nami opened her eyes, turned, and jumped off the ship onto the shore landing on both feet. "Your stay with us has expired." She said with a smile.
Hatori blinked and shook his head. "What.. ? Are you going to fight me? A little girl like you!? Come on now, this isn't funny."
Nami laughed and leaped into the air and directly at Hatori.
She's gonna come down on me in the head with that pole!Hatori thought as he prepared himself.. But he was dead wrong. Nami used her staff to launch herself directly at his chest. Her leg dug in with a subtle thud, but the expression on Hatori's face was anything but subtle.
He tumbled over and got back up. "Very funny.." He growled at her.
He slowly started advancing on Nami who held her staff diagonally with two hands.
He was waiting for her to make the first strike and sure enough, she did.
He staff swiped at his neck but he quickly ducked and slashed at her arm. He watched as his knife ripped her shirt and sliced through her shoulder like a slab of meat.
"Ahh!!" Nami cried in pain as she fell down.
"Honestly, what were you expecting to accomplish with a weapon like that?" Hatori laughed as he kicked her in the chest which rolled her over.
Sanji stood witnessing this with a fiercely pissed off expression.
"You bastard!!!" He shouted as he bent down and leaped off of the Going Merry. He moved so quickly that Hatori couldn't do a thing about it. Next thing he knew, Sanji planted his foot directly into his face.
"How.."
A kick to the ribs.
"Dare.."
A kick to the neck.
"You.."
A round house.
"Hurt.."
A punch across the side of the face.
"Nami-san!"
And a drop kick right to the top of his chest.
Hatori went flying back and landed on the rocky part of the shore, his head hitting a rock.
"Ah.... Ouch.." He groaned as he slowly crawled to his feet.
"You bastard!" She said, blood flew from his mouth. Nami had also risen and stood behind Sanji with one fist clenched.
Hatori slowly worked his way into a run with his machete in the air.
"Die!!" He cried as he ran towards Sanji. Nami swiftly moved out from behind him and delivered
him the hardest punch he had ever received. Right across the face.
He froze instantly and then collapsed.
"Are you alright Nami-san!?" Sanji asked as he started to each for Nami's shoulders but then remembered that one of her shoulders was cut open.
"I... I'm fine.." She said quietly as she managed a weak smile... And then she collapsed.
Sanji lifted her and got her back onto the ship.
"Chopper!" Sanji shouted.
Chopper, who had been watching over Luffy and Zoro already knew about Nami's injury. "I know, I know. Don't worry, I'll take care of her." He said as Sanji set her down beside Luffy.
"That was too much!!" Sanji exclaimed as he turned to face the island.
"They're not going to hurt anyone else, and I'm going to make sure of that!" He shouted. He took a few quick strides forward when Zoro's arm shot out in front of him. "We both have a job to finish.. Your not going alone." He said with a smile.
Sanji furiously lit a cigarette and popped it into his mouth. "Then lets go!! Lets finish the damn job!"
