Chapter 90: Arc 8: Arrival At The Courthouse

With an unison roar, Sodom and Gomorrah mowed through the Marines in their paths.

"All right, Sodom, Gomorrah!" Zambai cheered. "Keep charging ahead! Fire!" he ordered the rest of the Franky Family to fired upon the Marines. "Keep firing!"

Zoro merely swatted a cannonball heading his way.

Nami and Chopper took out a pair of Marines who had somehow gotten aboard Sodom.

"Things are going smoothly." Sanji noted. "Good thing we have you guys on our side. We're counting on you to take us to Luffy, King Bulls. You bastards!" he knocked off a trio of snipers with a door loosened by a kick.

"Got it." Chopper nodded after Sodom 'spoke' to him. "And, when the brothers Sodom and Gomorrah were about to die in a Sea King's stomach, the Franky Family saved them and said to them 'We're full, so we're not gonna eat you guys.' Since then, they pledged loyalty to Franky, who saved their lives."

"But would you watch where you are going?" Sanji looked at the King Bull. "You make me nervous."

"He says 'I'll be faithful to Franky-aniki for the rest of my life.'" Chopper translated.

"He must be really happy someone understands his language." Sanji noted.

"He's asking 'By the way, is it okay that the guy with the mask didn't get on with you guys?'" Chopper translated.

"What?" Nami gasped.

"What?" Chopper panicked. "I can't find Sogeking anywhere!"

"Seriously?" Sasha exclaimed.

"In any case, we don't have the option of going back to get him at this point." Zoro reminded. "I'm sure he'll work things out on his own."

"But there are guards everywhere on this island." Nami pointed out. "He isn't Luffy. If he's by himself, his life will be..."

"After surmounting each island we keep get stronger while awakening our individual Haki." Zoro cut her off. "He, too, always survived life-or-death situations on each island. No one in our group would die so easily. We're almost to the courthouse." he pointed.

"Crap!" Sanji cursed when Sodom was hit by a mortar cannon in the heart. "King Bull!"

"Sodom!" the Franky Family and Chopper exclaimed in horror.

"This is bad!" Chopper went into doctor mode. "I have to treat him right away."

"Sodom, stand firm." Zambai encouraged. "Don't fall yet. Guys, move over right away!" he told the Straw Hat crew. "Hurry it up! Sodom can't hold on much longer. His pectoral muscle got hurt by a trench mortar. Move over now before he falls. No one's gonna be saved unless you guys move forward!"

"He said 'Go!" Chopper wept as he translated for the gravely injured King Bull.

You did well, Sodom. Sasha pressed her lips between the wounded King Bull's nostrils, a light blue aura bubble formed from her lips. I'll give you some of my healing energies so that you can recover. Rest, for now.

"Let's go, Gomorrah!" Zambai barked after Sodom collapsed. "That's a trench mortar." he spotted another mortar along a building's roof as Gomorrah advanced. "Dodge it, Gomorrah! This center path is no good." he hissed, the said King Bull ducking the cannonball. "They're fully prepared and waiting in ambush. We're gonna change the route."

"The portable Den Den Mushi is ringing." Nami blinked when the Den Den Mushi she had on her stared ringing. "Hello, who is it?"

"It's me." Grandma Kokoro voiced from the other side of the line. "Sounds like you guys are still alive. Where are you right now?"

"We're getting closer to the courthouse." Nami replied. "Why?"

"Good timing." Grandma Kokoro replied. "There's something I forgot to tell you. I'm sure you guys are busy, so I'll make it quick. Listen carefully. On the map drawn by Paulie, there's no path from the courthouse to the Gates of Justice, right? Look at the courthouse. There's a tower on each side, right? There's a lever on the top floor of each tower. When you pull them, a drawbridge will come down from the courthouse to the Gates of Justice. Chimney want to talk to you, too."

"Hello, pirate onee-san!" the one-quarter mermaid voiced from her end. "Can you hear me? Listen, I saw the rubber pirate onii-chan on the rooftop of the courthouse."

"Luffy was there?" Nami echoed.

"I saw rocks collapsing there, too." Chimney reported. "So it looks like he's going on a rampage."

"Pirate girl, keep the Den Den Mushi connected so that I'll know what's going on over there." Grandma Kokoro instructed.

"Okay." Nami nodded. "That they said." she looked up after Grandma Kokoro disconnected.

"Now we know where we have to go." Zoro concluded.

"All right." Zambai nodded. "You guys go straight to the courthouse and join Straw Hat. We're gonna split into two and bring the drawbridge down." he told the rest of the Franky Family. "Take us to the courthouse, Gomorrah!" he told the King Bull. "Gomorrah!" the Franky Family exclaimed when the King Bull was slammed into a building by one of Just Eleven Jurymen's chainballs.

"If we get surrounded by them in a place like this, we'll be goners!" Chopper exclaimed in horror.

"Ex-quip!" Sasha summoned her armor. "Dragonite's Wheel Armor!" activating her Observation Haki, she increased the number of sword circles around her, expanding the outermost blade circle wider than usual. "Circular Blade!" she cut down the surrounding Marines with her weapon rain.

"There's only one path left." Zoro declared.

"Yeah, we're gonna make a dash for the courthouse." Sanji agreed.

"That's the only choice we have right now." Nami concurred.

"Wait!" Chopper shouted, stopping everyone. "All of you, don't get off! Hold on tight!" he translated for Gomorrah. "Gomorrah says so."

Getting back to his feet, Gomorrah continued traveling.

"Gomorrah, why are you trying to crash yourself into walls?" Zambai asked when Gomorrah slammed his head onto a nearby building.

"That's not it." Chopper realized. "He can't see. His eyesight weakened because his retinas got hurt.

"Stop, Gomorrah!" Mozu shouted.

"You're in no shape to keep running anymore." Kiwi warned.

"He says that he promised Sodom." Chopper translated the King Bull's roar. "He said to Sodom 'Leave the rest to me. I'll run with everyone on my back for you.'"

"There's a dead end right ahead." one of the Franky Family crew pointed. "He'll crash into it and die."

"Dead end?" Zoro echoed. "Do you see one?"

"Nope, I don't see anything of that sort." Sanji replied.

Jumping off Gomorrah's head, Zoro and Sanji smashed through the building.

With the way cleared, Gomorrah finally collapsed right in front of the courthouse's staircase.

"You did a good job, Gomorrah." Zambai told the injured King Bull. "We won't waste the boost you two brothers gave us. We're gonna attack, guys!" he told the rest of the Franky Family. "We'll rescue Franky-aniki."

"Can you see Luffy?" Nami asked after she, Sasha and Chopper descended from Gomorrah.

"No." Sanji looked up at the demolished wall. "If the rooftop is that high, we can't just climb up there."

Yokozuna jumped in front of Sasha, blocking off another Just Eleven Juryman's chainball.

"Over there!" Sasha pointed, the chain was being pulled back through an alleyway. "The three are running away!"

"Shut up." Sanji muttered, taking down the Just Eleven Juryman with a kick. "I just went to check. It wouldn't hurt to know what kind of enemies would attack us, would it? There may be more hiding. Be careful." he cautioned.

"Now, hurry up." Zambai urged as he spotted a platoon of Marines rushing in. "The guards are closing in on us."

"Get a move on!" Zoro snapped, cutting through the doors with his swords. "I'll go on ahead.

"Zambai, we'll split and go on both sides." Mozu informed.

"In order to pull down the drawbridge's levers." Kiwi added.
