Chapter 133: Arc 10: Admiral Kizaru's Fierce Assault! The Straw Hats Face Certain Death!

Damn! Sanji cursed, the crew were forced to dodge yet another round of laser beams. We don't even have the time to counterattack.

"Hey, Zoro." Usopp gaped when the swordsman got back to his feet to start fighting.

"Zoro!" Luffy shouted, he and Sanji rushing forward.

"Kokutei Roseo Metel!" in Arm Point, Chopper jumped in and unleashed his flurry of punches at the Pacifista.

"Strong Hammer!" Franky cut in, punching away the powering up laser beam and making the cyborg drop Chopper. "Franky Boxing!" after deflecting the light beam, he took on the Pacifista, raining his punches on the cyborg's chest.

The Pacifista then dodged the last punch, sending Franky to the ground with a punch of its own.

"Spider Net!" Robin's web of hands caught Franky.

"Here I go!" Brook ran up the trunk of a nearby mangrove. "Swallow Bond en Avant!" using the distance as leverage, he jumped down and thrust his sword at the Pacifista's shoulder. "That's dangerous!" he panicked when he found himself struck and the Pacifista was ready to attack with the laser beam from its mouth. "Are you planning on killing me?"

"Sure Kill: Atlas Comet!" Usopp fired off his multi-shot bullets.

"Water Lock!" Sasha used the confusion to pull Brook to safety. "Brook, you're already dead." she reminded.

"Now's our chance!" Usopp took the opening to flee. "Let's run!"

"He's acting strangely." Chopper noted, peering out from behind a root as he watched the Pacifista collapse onto the ground.

"Bombs work on him now?" Usopp echoed.

"One shot went inside his mouth." Franky realized. "Something inside his body must have short-circuited. His body might be tough, but he's still got blood on the inside. He's had his entire body modified to become a weapon, just like me, but he's really a normal human."

"Nami-san, watch out!" Sanji warned, seeing the Pacifista get to his feet and focusing on the running navigator. "He's found you!"

"Ochenta Fleur: Cuatro Manos, Shock!" Robin grew out four huge hands from the Pacifista's shoulders and slammed the interlocking fists on the cyborg's head before it could fire its mouth laser and causing it to implode.

"Overdrive," Sasha intoned after stabbing the 'Gaiden's Blade' into the gaping tear Zoro cut earlier. "Water Dragon Slicing Tail!" she released three crescent-shaped water blades straight into the electric circuity. "Nami!" she jumped off the Pacifista's shoulder.

"Thunder Lance Tempo!" Nami aimed her lightning attack at the crackling circuits, shorting out the cyborg.

"We stopped that bastard, right?" Franky asked, the crew resting after the relatively draining fight.

"We must have..." Usopp agreed, lying on his back and gasping for air.

"But what was with that guy anyway?" Zoro asked.

"He's definitely a modified human." Franky concluded. "That means that he was once a human who looked just like Bartholomew Kuma. "I'd guess they're twins or perhaps they have just found someone who looked super similar. I suppose that's the most likely explanation. There's no way they could've actually created a human after all."

"PX-4?" Sanji blinked, approaching the downed Pacifista and spotting the branded number on its exposed neck.

"Let's rest a bit..." Luffy was still catching his breath. "I never thought we'd be forced to go all-out in a battle so soon."

"I want to rest, but we should find a hiding place first." Sanji suggested. "If they find us right now, we're in big trouble, you know."

"I guess that's true." Luffy agreed. "But, wait a minute, okay?"

"You guys really have done it now." Sentomaru declared from a branch above the exhausted group, another Pacifista beside him.

"They're up there!" Chopper pointed.

"What a pitiful state you're in, PX-4." Sentomaru chided, jumping down with the second Pacifista. "Just building one of you Pacifista costs us as much as an entire warship. How am I supposed to explain this to that damn Punk?"

"He just said 'Pacifista'." Robin noted.

"Is that the name of the one we just defeated?' Nami wondered.

"Who are you, boardaxe?" Franky demanded.

"You don't call a man by his weapon's name." Sentomaru retorted. "There's no point in asking me questions. I have nothing to tell any of you. I'm the man with the toughest guard in the world. Of course, my mouth is well-guarded too. I'm the world's most tight-lipped man, Sentomaru."

"You just told us your name." Sasha pointed out.

"I just felt like telling you that." Sentomaru backtracked. "Let's go, PX-1."

At his order, the Pacifista expelled his laser beams from both palms, the explosion splitting the crew.

"He's firing beams from his palms too." Sanji skidded to a stop. "He doesn't have pads. I don't want to think about it, but that makes him the third. What's going on?"

"Rather than wondering about that, it's be safer for us to run away right now." Zoro suggested. "If we get into another fight, someone will definitely die. Let's run before we meet the admiral."

"Yeah." Luffy agreed. "Let's run away from here. We can't stay together. We'll split up and escape. The three of us should split up." he told Zoro and Sanji.

"Sure." Sanji nodded.

"Don't worry." Brook ans Sasha ran alongside Zoro who had Usopp clinging onto his back. "We shall cover for you."

"Everyone, we'll meet up at the Sunny on three days!" Luffy shouted, taking Chopper and Robin.

"They're splitting up and running." Sentomaru barked. "Chase them, PX-1! Don't let them get out of Grove 12 or we'll be in trouble."

"Sure Kill: Super Smoke Star!" Usopp released his smokescreen pellet.

Sanji's group, consisting of Nami and Franky were stopped by PX-1. Sentomaru blocked off Luffy's group.

Zoro was stopped in his tracks by a burst of light streaking past him and making him drop Usopp. "Stand back." he warned, reading to face off the new adversary.

"Ex-quip: Aqua Fairy." Sasha swooped into her speed armor. "Flight Mode." she shot past Zoro and deflected Kizaru's laser beam with the ''Gaiden's Blade'.

"Man, he's late." Sentomaru complained. "So you finally arrived, Old Man Kizaru?"

"Be careful!" Robin warned. "That man is an Admiral!"

"Quite an impressive defense, 200 million bounty-head, Thalassa Sasha." Kizaru droned. "I'd heard that you're quite a weapons mistress. I'm rather surprised you know Armament Haki, too. But, it's a futile attempt; take yourself a long rest." he raised a lighted leg. "I ate the Pika Pika Fruit; I'm a light man. I'm a Logia. I won't let you get away. It's useless. Prepare to die." he pressed his charged up foot against the 'Gaiden's Blade', the sword was cracking under the pressure.

Just then, Rayleigh shot in, kicking Kizaru away from Sasha and deflecting the light beam.

"So now you decide to appear." Kizaru remarked. "Dark King Rayleigh."

"I won't let you take out these youngsters." Rayleigh replied. "Their era is only beginning."

"I'd heard some rumors that you were on this island." Kizaru noted, the exhausted Sasha vanished her armor and weapon. "So that was true? Seeing how you helped out these brats, that must mean you're still a pirate, at your age, Rayleigh-san?"

"If you people would withdraw my bounty, I'd be able to retire in peace." Rayleigh defended.

"The pirates' sins won't disappear, right?" Kizaru countered. "Especially not those of the Roger Pirates. But if we were try to catch you, we would require a bit more dedication than we have right now. I don't see the humor in this, Thalassa-chan." he turned upon hearing Sasha's bark of laughter.

"You Navy personnel are such huge hypocrites." Sasha snorted mirthlessly. "The sins of the father are always visited upon by the offspring, right? Then, before hunting pirates, why don't you purge the Navy of undesirable elements first? After all, one of your esteemed colleagues is a direct descendant of one of the most tyrannical emperors in ancient history."

"Oh?" Kizaru inquired.

"He hid his shameful bloodline, didn't he?" Sasha taunted. "'Akainu' Sakazuki is descended directly from the 'Mad King' Aerys Second of Targaryen. You, on the other hand, if I'm correct..." she ducked to dodge a light beam aimed at her head. "Aw, did I hit a sore spot?" she mocked. Then she turned serious, "I dare you, Borsalino; when you get back to Marine HQ, trace back the genealogy tree of every Marine in the Navy and see if there isn't one that isn't related, directly or indirectly, to either a blood traitor, an infamous criminal/pirate, and/or an undesirable. I dare you."

"You can't let them leave, can you, Kizaru-kun?" Rayleigh asked.

"Give me a break here." Kizaru whined. "If we can't catch these kids, then we at the Navy wouldn't be able to face the Celestial Dragons at Mariejois. Would you please get out of my way? Thalassa-chan knows too much."

"Zoro, Usopp, Brook!" Luffy shouted. "Take Sasha and run! Everyone, only think of how to escape!" he ordered, Zoro having heaved Sasha on his back and the four fled. "Right now, we can't beat these guys!"

"That's really annoying." Kizaru remarked. "Yata no Kagami." he powered up an attack, the Straw Hats having split three ways to escape.

"He's doing something!" Brook warned, seeing the reflected light beam head towards Zoro's back.

"I won't let you pass!" Rayleigh stopped Kizaru's pending attack. "It's been a long while since I used my sword." he held up his blade.

Kizaru formed a light sword of his own and the two adversaries clashed. "I'm in trouble here." the light human complained. "I was expecting things to be easy when I came to this island."

"Worries are also a part of life, Kizaru-kun." Rayleigh chided.

"PX-1, Thalassa is half dead." Sentomaru shouted to the Pacifista. "Go take her out!"

"Could it be..." Brook turned to see PX-1 chasing after them. "He's here!" he screamed.

A blast from the Pacifista's mouth beam knocked Brook to the ground.

"Stop right there, you damn bastard!" Sanji snapped, coming in from behind and sent the Pacifista to the ground with a 'Diable Jambe'. "My leg..." he clutched his injured leg when he landed.

"Run Sanji!" Usopp shouted as PX-1 prepared to fire its laser beam. "He's aiming for you!"

The sniper's warning came too late when the beam was fired, knocking Sanji, Usopp and Zoro to the ground.

"Wait, you damn bastard." Sanji grabbed onto PX-1's leg as the cyborg closed in on Sasha.

PX-1 ignored him and continued towards Sasha.

Two beams at close range took out Sanji and Usopp, leaving the still injured Zoro to protect Sasha.

In desperation to defend Luffy who was being hammered by Sentomaru, Chopper bit down three Rumble Balls, turning into his Monster Point form.

"Chopper," Zoro was stunned to see Monster Point Chopper. "He did it again?"

"Wait, PX-1." the real Bartholomew Kuma stepped in.

"Bartholomew Kuma..." Zoro turned to the Warlord. This guy... he's the real one.

"If you were to go on a vacation, where would you like to go?" Kuma asked, removing his glove. With a push of his palm, he vanished the swordsman.
