Chapter 238: Entering the Courthouse

They stood in front of the courthouse. On the roof was where Luffy was having his fight.

That was when a large metal ball laws about to hit them, but Yokozuna blocked it.

"It's just like that ball that fell Gomorrah." Said one of the Franky Family.

They saw that there were three of them. However Sanji had managed to knock one out and brought him to the others.

"So that's what the guy look like." Said Kiba.

"Yeah, I thought we should know what we up against." Said Sanji.

"Makes sense to me." Said Ino.

"There's several more out there." said Sanji.

That was when there were more marines and government agents coming their way.

"They're stuck here, none of them can open the doors." Said a government agent.

However Zoro cut on of the doors open, which were made of stone.

"You don't think he did that to show off?" asked Isaribi.

"If anything I think it's a response to Gaara." Muttered Sasuke.

Gaara could only sweat drop at that one

They followed Zoro into the Courthouse…

They saw the judge… which appeared to be a large three-headed man.

"He's so beautiful…" said Kyubi.

"What?" asked Naruto.

"A three headed British person." Said Kyubi, "It's just perfect."

"British?" asked Naruto.

"Oh right, you have no idea about that… never mind then…" said Kyubi.

Naruto just stood there with a massive sweat drop.

"What's wrong?" asked Hinata.

"Just Kyubi being very, weird…." Mumbled Naruto.

They continued on their into the courthouse, clearing a path (IE: getting rid of all enemies in their path), Sanji went a crazy with it, clearing a path for Nami so it wouldn't be too dangerous.

"This way Nami." Said Sanji.

"You know there's a lot of us here, not just Nami." Mumbled Sasuke.

"And you know we're trying to save Robin, right." Said Naruto.

That was when it hit Sanji and she began to run faster, to save Robin… babbling about whether or not she was scared.

"Well it could be worse." Said Ino.

"Really?" asked Isaribi, "How?"

"He could be doing that!" said Ino.

Ino was pointing to Zoro, running in a completely different direction.

Sasuke face palmed before yelling, "THIS WAY YOU IDIOT!"

Zoro noticed them and ran towards them.

"It's your fault!" he yelled.

"How is it our fault?" asked Sasuke.

"You gave me bad directions…" answered Zoro.

Sasuke would have kicked him but he wasn't in the mood.

Zoro joined the rest of them, however that was when the giant three-headed judge (who Kyubi claims was a Monty Python reference… whatever that meant…) attacked them with a giant sword.

"Fight him kit!" said Kyubi.

"Now's not the time…" thought Naruto.

As it turns out the members of the Franky Family took over fighting the giant three-headed judge.

"Oh… but I bet he's so funny…" said Kyubi.

"Now's not the time." Thought Naruto.

"Let's go." Said Nami.

On the roof top Luffy dodged any attack Blueno threw at him. However it got to the point where the two looked at each other.

"I can't beat you, not like this." Said Luffy.

There was a silence between the two…

"When I lost to Aokiji, I thought that if I was going to me others like him at sea, I would have to get stronger to protect my friends and my brother!"

Blueno said nothing.

Even if I'm not that strong…" said Luffy, "I've got friends I want to be with! I've got to be stronger than everyone or else I'd lose them!"

"So what do you think you're going to do?" asked Blueno.

"I came up with a way to fight at top strength, so I won't lose to anyone." Said Luffy as he began to pump his leg, "No one has to go away."

That was when his body began to steam and his skin turned pink.

"His body is steaming… What's happening inside of him…" thought Blueno.

"You can't keep up with me anymore, all of my abilities have evolved into the next level…" said Luffy.

And then he gave a mighty shout.

"GEAR 2!"

Below him, the rest of the crew continued on his way.

"You're brother's doing that…" said Kyubi.

"You mean Gear 2?" asked Naruto.

"Yep…" said Kyubi.

"He'll be fine, we'll just have to worry about the guy fighting him." Thought Naruto.

That was when more marines attack him, he created clones to fight them off.

Nearby Hinata managed to gentle fist others into submission.

"All right!" cheered the real Naruto.

Gaara meant meanwhile just stood there, his sand protecting him, eventually the Marines and government agents stopped trying to attack him.

Isaribi who she had to transform in to her fish and did so, scaring a lot of Marines.

"Wait! How is she a fishman?" asked a Marine.

"That's just not possible!" yelled another one.

Sakura and Chopper teamed up to throw away a lot of them.

"Hey! Stop throwing them at me!" yelled Nami.

Ino began to control several marines to fight each other.

"Do you ever get the urge to say dance puppets, dance?" asked Kiba.

"Shut up! Now's not the time…" said Ino, unsure if Kiba ever said anything like that before, she really wasn't sure if he had.

Kiba saw several marines after him.

"You ready Akamaru?" asked Kiba.

Akamaru barked and he turned Akamaru into his clone.

Nearby Zoro and Sasuke fought off against the strange men wielding the metal balls. All of them kept shouting "Guilty! Guilty!"

"Will you shut up!" yelled Zoro.

"What is it with them?" asked Sasuke.

During this fighting Kiba couldn't help thinking, "I bet Usopp's far away by now, there's no way he would have the courage to fight this fight…"

Boy was he wrong...

As it turns out Sogeking while he did hide and didn't join them did play an important role. While hiding in one of the giants hair he saw one of them crying about his chiefs who ended up in duel a 100 years ago, the two guard giant went to search for them and were captured by the Marines. They were told that their two chiefs were being held in a prison and if the two giant successfully guarded the gates for 100 years then their chiefs would be free.

Usopp (removing his mask) figured out that their chiefs were Dorry and Broggy and the two giants named Oimo and Kashi were lied to, and as proof they were out there and a still dueling, showed Oimo (who was the one explaining it to him) the trademark laughs of the giants they met all the way back in Little Garden.

So now Sogeking and the giant were wreaking havoc though out the island.

Of course Kiba had no way of knowing this.

Back on the roof, Luffy had defeated Blueno.

So Luffy took a large breath and yelled out.

"ROBIN! I'VE COME FOR YOU!"

With that one shout the crew were closer than ever before in rescuing Robin.

Next Time: the crew stands together in order to save Robin. How does Robin feel about this however? She just wants to die... but is that really the truth? Find out next time!
