Steve's POV

"So…" I sighed "We're flying over because?"

"It's faster." Robin nodded.

"I get that much…" I mumbled "But why are we riding on Luffy?!"

"You could just fly yourself." Robin said.

"Oh…yeah."

"Pitch Black Wings!"

"We are getting close…" Robin said jumping off "Wing!"

Robin and I eased our way to the ground while Luffy, Franky and Wyper crashed into a ship.

"What the hell!" Wyper yelled pushing the rubble off himself.

"Wow that was a good shortcut!" Luffy yelled "Now come on out Master, so I can kidnap you."

"You weren't supposed to tell them that Luffy." Robin sighed.

"Whatever…" I grumbled "No point in holding back now."

"It's the Strawhats!"

"Take them down!"

"I guess we're in for a fight." Wyper said pulling his bazooka around.

"Strong Right!" Franky punched some guys into the air.

"Charge Laser!"

Wyper blasted them out of the sky, charring them.

"We're here but where is this Master?" Robin said.

"And the harpy." I added.

"He's probably inside." Wyper said "We should get moving."

"Stop! What are you doing on this island!"

"Oh, it's Smoker." I gestured to the yelling man.

Although he feels off.

"Oh I thought you got taken out before." Luffy said "Good for you!"

"Don't mock me!"

Smoker shot his fists and sword at Luffy but he was easily grabbed and flipped.

"You've gotten weak." Luffy taunted.

"Don't mess up my body!"

I pulled up my hand and blocked a stab from Tashigi.

"Ugh." I felt my heart hurt.

I let go and jumped back.

My…strength.

"When did you get this good?" I arced my eyebrow at Tashigi.

Even her weapon changed…and the way she'd dressed is very…adult.

"Ah ha!" I gasped "You're Smoker."

"It appears to be Law's doing." Robin laughed.

"Hahaha!" Luffy laughed "You got switched!"

"What's so funny!" Smoker-Tashigi tried to stab Luffy.

Luffy jumped over and grabbed the girl's body "Our fight will have to wait till your back to normal, it'll be no fun otherwise."

"Door's open!" Franky yelled "Let's go!"

"Right behind you!" we said running over.

"Wait!" Robin yelled "That just fell from the sky."

I looked back and a glob of goop had landed on the marine's ship. The weird jelly was alive and squirming around on the snow. The blobs gathered and stuck together to from one bigger blob. A Marine hit the blob with a flame thrower but that only caused it to boil and explode like a bomb.

I should probably avoid touching that at all costs…arms of fire and all.

The gel started falling from the sky like rain.

"Shlololo!"

Everyone was drawn to the sound of laughter.

"Master!"

"It's you!"

"Caesar Clown!"

"That's me." The man smiled "Strawhat…and the marines from G-5"

This man was strange, he looked weak but his clothes blew like air…I didn't like him.

"You'll have to wait a bit, he's not good with water so he has to throw himself here bit by bit…it will only be a little longer now, and then you'll get a taste of what happened back then."

"Got ya!" Luffy shot over and grabbed the man.

"WHAT?!"

"Let master go!"

"Hellfire Wall!" I flicked my wrist and melted the bullets shot at Luffy.

"So Haki is what let Luffy grab that guy." Wyper asked.

"Yes, but contrary to belief Haki is not absolute, it doesn't sap power, only it only stuns it in a small region, allowing for an attack to hit." I said.

"Our problem is still that we still don't know the true power of the Gas-Gas fruit." Robin said.

"Gas…" Wyper said "Law's right, that guy is dangerous."

"Gum-Gum Bell!" Luffy slammed into Caesar but he missed.

"HA!" Caesar let off a blast of Gas and tried to snuff out Luffy.

Luffy sucked in the gas and neutralized it.

"How the…" Wyper wondered.

"Poison Gas doesn't bother Luffy." I nodded.

Luffy hit Caesar and then started laying into him.

"Gastanet!"

Caesar clicked his little discs and caused an explosion.

"Luffy!"

"Hellfire Fist!"

I shot a blast at the explosion to blow it away. I had to pull back when the goo jumped up and surrounded Luffy.

I can't risk the explosion that would create.

"I've got you now!" Caesar pulled out his clackers again "Gastanet!"

A massive blast went off and lit up the sky.

"That was close." Luffy said landing on the ground "Jet Stamp!"

Luffy kicked the man and grabbed him.

"Franky, we need something to put him in.

"Freeze, we'll be taking you in too!" a marine yelled.

"Gurk!"

I looked over and Luffy fell to the ground.

"Luffy!"

"You underestimated me…"

"Flame Grenade!"

Wyper's dial ball bounced and clicked, but no fire came out.

"There's no oxygen there." He said "That's why the fire never started and Luffy passed out.

"I don't get it; how do you fight a person who can suck out oxygen." I mumbled.
