Luffy stepped off the boat and onto the island. "Well… it looks deserted."
Sora stepped off the boat after him, "…Nope… there's a town on the far edge of the island. We could stretch our legs and walk through the jungle. Or we could be lazy and float to the other side."
Zoro began walking, followed by Sanji and Luffy. Nami and Usopp went back to the boat and cast off. Sora quickly ran after Luffy. She grabbed Zoro's hand as he dropped back to walk by her. "So, when we reach the town, what are we going to do?" She asked looking at Luffy.
Luffy turned to face her and walked backwards, "I want to eat and uh… I don't know… get some supplies?"
Sanji glanced back at Zoro and Sora holding hands. "Sora, how's your clothes?" He asked, puffing his cig.
Sora tried to remember how many shirts she had now, she and Zoro had been practicing a lot lately and their clothes were getting ripped to shreds in the process. "Running low… Oh! That's right! I promised that you could help me pick out my clothes! Yes. We need to do that."
Zoro's grip on Sora's hand tightened, as Sanji smiled.
---------------------
Nami placed the boat into the dock perfectly. "Okay Usopp, let's go get some f-"
"P-pirates!" Usopp squeaked as he jumped behind Nami and pointed to the island. Nami grabbed Usopp and ran into the cabin.
"Hopefully they didn't hear you, or see us." She said as she looked out the side window at the village, that they were pillaging. "I hope the guys get here soon…"
-----------------
Sora froze as she looked towards the village. She had almost missed it! Those spirit colors were the colors of fear mixed with pain. Letting go of Zoro's hand, she rushed past the guys and towards the village.
Sanji, Luffy and Zoro exchanged looks and then quickly ran after her.
Sanji caught up to her first, "What's up Sora?"
Sora pulled out her swords as she ran a long the jungle path. "That village is in trouble… Their spirit colors are giving off a color that means pain and fear."
Sanji slowed down and informed the other two of what was going on. Zoro put on his bandana as he continued running, he needed to stay close to Sora during this fight, for she was still in no shape to give it her all yet.
In less then no time, they skidded to a halt in the village, which was on fire. Sora, quickly ran to the left, her crewmates right behind her. The villagers were trapped in one of these buildings… she had to pinpoint which one. Rounding a corner, a group of pirates turned away from a building.
Sora breathed heavily as she stared at them. With anger, she charged into battle. The only thing that made her freeze halfway were the cries of kids trapped in the burning building. She heard the guys skid round the corner behind her, and she dodge one guy's punch.
Sora ran around them and kicked open the door to the burning building. Sheathing her swords she ran inside, covering her mouth. Ignoring Zoro calling her name, she ran towards the kids. Using wind in here would be moronic it would only make the fire spread. Coughing as she breathed in a mouthful of ash, Sora ran towards the crying kids.
Zoro fought a pirate that had a weird looking beard. All he could think about was Sora stupidly running into that burning building. Zoro couldn't make this guy stay down. He needed to help Sora.
Sanji, who was right behind him was fighting a guy with flaming red hair. Every time his opponent kicked, this guy's feet lit on fire.
Luffy had his hands full with the rest of the crew. He slammed down a guy that had long dagger nails, and was punching the face of another guy that rolled into a giant ball and tried to flatten him.
Zoro bent down low, and used one of his special techniques, knocking the swordsman in front of him down. Zoro started shredding him with swords, just as Sora came out carrying a baby and coughing her lungs out. Nine or ten kids ran out after her.
Sora looked down the alleyway that she had led the guys up to see more pirates coming.
Turning to the eldest kid, she asked, "Do you know a way to the docks?" The kid nodded and led them down a separate alleyway, the new pirates ran past the three guys and followed.
Sora saw Nami and Usopp standing on the deck of the ship. "Onto that boat! The one with the two people on board!" She instructed the children, and they ran onto the ship. Sora handed the crying baby to Nami and jumped off the ship rushing towards the pirates that were running towards them. Unsheathing her swords, she twirled them around beside her, and then pushed the two air currents behind her, sending her through the crowd of enemies. She sliced down the middle as she went.
Usopp and Nami quickly brought the children into the cabin and started tending to their needs.
Zoro finally finished off the guy he was fighting and ran off after Sora. He couldn't let her fight alone she was still recovering.
Sanji quickly finished off his guy and rushed after Zoro. That was too many pirates for Sora to handle alone.
They ran through the burning city, following the tracks that the pirates left behind them. They rounded the next corner, and saw Sora fighting half a dozen pirates. They quickly ran in to help her.
Sora twisted around, slicing someone in the face. She felt Sanji right beside her and she ran behind him, slicing another guy.
Zoro turned when he finished off one guy to see Sora smile at him. Her arms badly scratched, and she was panting hard.
"Thought you'd never show up!" She smiled as she turned and fought this one guy. She noticed by the sound of his sword that it was old and rusty. She dodged his sword a few times. 'This guy uses a rusty sword so that if he slashed an opponent, they'll get a nasty infection!' Rolling backwards, she felt something in her stomach snap, and she screamed in pain.
Zoro turned around and rushed in front of Sora, who was kneeling on the ground. He blocked the attack from the guy with the rusty sword. "Get back to the ship Sora!" He yelled at her with the sword in his mouth. Sora got up slowly and ran onto the ship. Zoro knocked the guy to the ground and turned around to attack another guy. He didn't hear the man with the rusty sword quietly get to his feet and run after Sora.
"Are you guys okay?" Sora asked as she reached the ship. One of the kids rushed out and hugged her.
Sora sheathed her swords and ushered the kid towards the cabin. Hearing footsteps behind her, she turned around and heard the rusty blade swish through the air. Sora stepped in front of the kid and was slashed in the back by the sword. Quickly unsheathing her swords, she yelled for Nami, who rushed out and got the kid back into the cabin.
The guy easily overpowered Sora, and flung her two swords to the other end of the deck. Scrambling to her feet, Sora rushed towards her swords, only to have the rusty blade cut through her side. Falling down, she rolled across the deck. Getting up, she tried to run for her swords again, but the guy slashed her once more.
Sora lay flat on her back unable to move. The rusty blade flew through the air again, and Sora screamed in fury as she used the wind to shove this guy back. She sent her swords flying towards her with the wind and screamed as she swiped with full on fury at the rusted sword's owner. She sliced him down four times, and then blew him off the ship, sending him skidding down the dock.
Ignoring Zoro's orders, she ran off the deck and continued chopping the pirate until he fell onto the ground a bloody mess. Sora's chest rose and fell in shudders, the only thing making noise in the town now. Dropping her swords, she fell down a bloody mess and passed out.
Zoro sliced down the last pirate that was standing and turned around as he heard Sora scream. He rushed towards the ship, as he saw the guy skid across the dock. Zoro looked up to see Sora charging at him, her face twisted with fury. Leaving puddles of blood behind her as she rushed towards the guy. With speed that Zoro had never seen her use, Sora sliced the man to pieces, before standing there. Zoro reached her just as she fell backwards. He dropped his swords and caught her, pulling her into his arms.
