Chapter 24: You're Just a Little Girl

Zoro helped dig out Dalton, even though he had no idea who he was. However even Tenshi knew it was a big deal to get him out.

"Just keep dinging!" said Usopp.

"Don't worry Dalton's a nice man…" said Tenshi.

As they countered digging they found him, however he was in terrible shape what with arrows sticking out him and being buried in snow.

"Oh no…" said Mari.

"This is horrible…" said Usopp.

"Is he dead?" asked Tenshi on the verge of tears.

"Don't worry…" said a voice.

They turned to see a bunch of doctors. All of the towns people glared at them. They were Wapol's doctors.

"What are you doing here?" asked one of the towns people.

The doctors began to explains that while they worked for Wapol was still alive and that even though they worked for Wapol they never gave up hope and apparently a Quack Doctor taught them that.

That last part has to do with something more going on elsewhere though… something involving a talking reindeer's back-story…

Don't worry it all makes sense in context.

The Doctors moved Dalton to a house where they could work on him.

With that they decided to plan out what to do.

"I want to go with your!" yelled Tenshi.

"You nothing but a little kid! You can't be a pirate!" said Tomo.

"Too bad I'm going to be a pirate and that's that!" yelled Tenshi, "I want to be with Zoro!"

"No way! Zoro's going to be mine!" yelled Tomo.

"No he's mine!" yelled Tenshi.

"You little brat!" yelled Tomo.

"How about we ask Luffy about this." Said Mari.

"Luffy?" asked Tenshi.

"He's the captain of the crew." Said Mari, "If says it's okay you can join!"

"All right! I'll prove myself to him and I join!" said Tenshi.

Vivi was watching this. She sighed, there was so much on her mind.

"You okay?" asked Tashigi.

"I'm fine…" said Vivi, "We have to head up the mountain,"

"Why?" asked Tashigi.

"Because I' m worried about them." Said Vivi, "I mean with the avalanche…"

"Oh right…" said Tashigi.

"Plus I think Wapol might be there." Said Vivi.

"Oh right him…" muttered Tashigi.

"Don't worry, Luffy and Sanji are handling it." Said Usopp joining the conversation.

"Yeah but…" said Vivi.

"There's also Dalton and Alabasta." Sighed Tashigi.

"You worry too much." Sighed Usopp.

"Like Usopp said Sanji and Luffy are with them…" said Tashigi, "She's in good hands."

They turned towards Tomo arguing with Tenshi.

Zoro looked embarrassed by the fighting.

"There's also Zoro." Said Vivi.

"Oh that…" sighed Tashigi.

"I can't believe a little girl fell in love with him." Said Vivi, "It's strange."

"He's just got that sort of magnetism." Said Tashigi.

"When everything is over should I…" said Vivi.

"It's your choice… not mine…" said Tashigi.

That was when they heard Tomo yell out in pain. Appeals Tenshi sent more snowballs at her.

"Did they seriously hurt?" asked Pantene.

"Those thing are like rocks!" yelled Tomo.

Mari went over and picked up one of the snowball, it was heavy.

"What did you do?" asked Mari.

"Okay… I'll show you." Said Tenshi.

She created a snowball that was twice as big as normal then it suddenly compacted. Then she lunched it at Usopp.

"That really hurt!" yelled Usopp.

"Why him?" asked Mari.

"He seems weak." Answered Tenshi.

"That doesn't mean you can throw really hard snowballs at him…" said Mari.

That was when Dalton suddenly came out the house he was being treated in.

"Dalton! Don't get up!" yelled one of the people.

"Calm down Dalton!" yelled another.

Out of my way! If we don't' fight now when will we!" yelled Dalton.

"Looks like Dalton's up." Said Tomo.

"Thank you captain obvious…" muttered Pantene.

"This is our one chance to be free from tyrant once and for all!" yelled Dalton.

"But you're hurt." said one of the town's people.

"What can you do?" asked another.

"I'm going to fight no matter what the cost… even if I become a villain." Said Dalton.

Maybe it was the speech itself or maybe it was because he was pelted by powerful snowballs made by a little girl and he wanted to prove him.

But Usopp knew what he had to do.

It was a very powerful moment that there was no way it to could be ruined…

Or it would be had it not been Usopp who had volunteered for such a task.

Usopp was collapsing under Dalton's weight.

"I can do this! I will carry you!" yelled Usopp.

"It won't work." Said Dalton.

Don't worry I will be your legs." Said Usopp.

"You know…" said Kuina.

"Yeah, yeah…" muttered Zoro.

Zoro walked over and picked up Dalton like it was nothing.

All of the girls who were in love with Zoro all blushed at this.

"He's so cool!" said Tenshi voicing all of their thoughts.

"He's not yours!" yelled Tomo.

"You know…" said Tashigi.

"I know…" sighed Kuina who didn't think that would happen.

Usopp of course started kicking Zoro for stealing his thunder.

The rest of the crew and Tenshi started following them.

"Wait… if you're really serious then give us 30 minutes to fix the ropeway." Said one of the town's people.

"What?" asked one of the town's people, "But weren't all of the ropeways cut by Wapol?"

"Yeah but someone stretched out a giant white rope from the castle to a big tree outside of Gyasta." Said the first town's person.

"Gyasta?" asked Usopp.

"That was one of the towns on the island remember…" said Mari.

"Looks like we're taking the experts way…" said Pantene.

"All right!" said Tomo.

And so after more than a half hour they were on the way to mountain on a ropeway. Which was a machismo that was on a rope powered by a guy with bicycle peddles.

However it was jammed pack with so many of the town's people to help with Dalton.

Pantene who did have some medical knowledge was looking over Dalton.

"You don't have to do this." Said Dalton.

"He, someone has to look after you." Said Pantene, "And make sure you don't over do it…"

Dalton gritted his teeth.

He began to remember all of the things he endured working for Wapol.

"Who care about status! Who cares about king!" yelled Dalton suddenly.

"Calm down… you're having a flashback." Said Pantene.

"I'm fine…" he said as he started coughing up blood.

"Dalton!" said Vivi.

"I must end his reign!" yelled Dalton, "It's the only way!"

He continued coughing.

"Who cares about power and order? What's wrong with wanting your country to have a heart?" asked Dalton.

Vivi froze when he said that.

"Must be something to do with her past." Whispered Kuina to her sister.

Tashigi nodded.

That was when Dalton reached into his jacket revealing he had dynamite.

"When I get into the castle I want everyone to take cover." Said Dalton.

That was when they saw something fly away from the castle.

"What was that?" asked Mari.

"Don't ask me!" said Tomo.

"Whatever it was, it was going pretty fast." Said Usopp.

Dalton looked n the direction to the thing flying… he quickly put it the back of his mind.

However little did he know that flying thing was Wapol… and indeed his country was saved… by Luffy..

Yeah… for all his planning and talk Dalton didn't have to do anything… but that's the way things were sometimes…

Next Time: Luffy wants a reindeer that could turn human to join while at the same time Tenshi wants to join as well will either of them join? Find out next time!
