SailorStar9: After getting Chapter 97 out, this is Chapter 98 of this fic. For everyone who put this fic on your favorited and followed lists and/or story alerts, thank you, but remember everyone, a lot of authors (myself included) sustain on readers' reviews.

Pairings: Ace/Sasha, sibling Luffy/Sasha and Sabo/Sasha, patriotic-retainer Law/Sasha

Disclaimers: One Piece belongs to Oda Eiichirō-sensei. Me, on the other hand, own absolutely nothing, except my OC, the pairing and the fic idea.

Chapter 98: Arc 8: Hunter Sanji Makes An Entrance? Elegy for a Lying Wolf!

"We've..." Jabra started.

"Wasted a lot of time." Kaku added.

"Yes, you all have!" Nami snapped. "At a time like this, how could you two just fool around?"

"Because he was being an idiot." Zoro and Sogeking pointed to each other.

"Both of you are idiots!" Nami roared. "Now hurry up and get those keys!"

"What else is new?" Sasha sighed.

"Rankyaku: Sen!" Kaku took the opening to attack.

"Nice job following my orders, Zoro!" Sogeking praised, Zoro blocking off the air blade with his sword.

"Fight, Zoro!" Nami cheered from behind the stone wall she and Sogeking were hiding behind.

"You guys fight too!" Zoro glared. "That long neck..." he shot towards Kaku, imbuing Armament Haki on his blades. "Is your weak spot."

"No, it isn't." Kaku corrected ad dodged Zoro's strike. "I even have the ability to move it as I like. And to attack, Bigan!"

Zoro brought out his third sword and defended against the attack. Anchoring himself, the swordsman then flung Kaku into a nearby rock.

"Kaku's gotten really good using his fruit's abilities." Jabra noted.

"You're pretty laid back for a CP-9 agent." Sasha blinked.

"That so?" Jabra laughed. "You guys wanna save your nakama, right?"

"I"m gonna take your key!" Sogeking pointed his Kabuto at Jabra.

"Take it." Jabra tossed his key to Sogeking. "And go save Nico Robin. I really don't like killing. I can't stand blood."

"Your Devil Fruit says otherwise." Sasha stated blandly. Encasing the key in a water bubble, she teleported it to her open palm.

"Jusshigan!" Jabra took the chance to attack the water elemental. "Don't let your guard down." he mocked. "I'm a wolf. I'll trick you and then eat you."

"You should take your own advice." Sasha somersaulted back to dodge the attack. Vanishing the key somewhere, she summoned 'Tidal Blade'.

"New Weapon: Kabuto." Sogeking grabbed his weapon. "Sure Kill Sunflower Star!"

"What?" Jabra had used Soru to avoid the blast. "Fireworks?" moving in between Sogeking and Nami, he kicked the sniper off. "Geppo!" using Geppo to move behind Sogeking, he then slammed the masked sniper onto the ground.

Nami charged in, her 'Swing Arm' ready to hit Jabra, only to have the Devil Fruit user use a dust cloud to send her to the ground.

"Just as I promised, I'll kill you fast." Jabra raised Sogeking in his claw. "It won't hurt."

"Spike Geyser!" Sasha stabbed her sword onto the ground, the racing water spikes forcing Jabra to drop Sogeking.

Sanji's high kick then sent Jabra crashing into the wall.

"Who the hell are you?" Jabra demanded.

"The hunter." Sanji smirked.

"Nice timing." Sasha smiled tiredly, the 'Tidal Blade' dematerializing.

"Sasha, are you alright?" Nami asked.

"Just..." Sasha breathed. "Give me some time to rest. Using two 'Overdrives' is rather exhausting."

"Sanji-kun, how did you turn back to normal?" Nami turned to the cook.

"A bathtub fell down and I was cured." Sanji replied. "It was probably from the water. But more importantly, Sasha-hime, Nami-san, did the two of you fall in love with me again?" he went into flirt mode.

"I hope the bathtub had hit you..." Nami muttered.

"I hope Ace scorches your sorry ass." Sasha mumbled.

"I'm sorry, Sanji." Sogeking coughed. "I... I should..."

"As long as you are alive, it's fine." Sanji cut him off. "Everyone has things they can and can't do. You three, look outside."

"No..." Nami breathed, the open crack in the ceiling revealing the Gate of Justice had started opening. "The Gates of Justice is opening. Robin..."

"If that gate opens and Robin-chan goes through it, we can't cross the sea through it because of the Sea King nests." Sanji reminded. "And past that is the Undersea Prison and the Marine Headquarters. Robin-chan will be completely taken away from us."

"You must have run out of luck if you are fighting me." Kaku remarked, his fight with Zoro ending in a temporal stalemate. "I think you would've done better against Jabra's abilities."

"No, I'm fine with you." Zoro insisted.

"Don't let that bravery get the better of you." Kaku warned.

"The situation is the worst imaginable." Sanji cautioned. "But even in this bad situation, there's gonna be a chance hiding somewhere."

"Changing fighters?" Jabra laughed. "Doesn't matter to me."

"Sanji, his key." Sasha tossed the key over.
