Pairings: Ace/Sasha, sibling Luffy/Sasha and Sabo/Sasha, Background Protector!Law/Sasha
Disclaimers: One Piece belongs to Oda EiichirÅ-sensei. Me, on the other hand, own absolutely nothing, except my OC, the pairing and the fic idea.
Chapter 159: Arc 12: It's an Emergency! The Ryugu Palace is Occupied!
"How did he get out of jail?" the Minister of the Right was stunned.
"What a fighter." even the Minister of the Left was amazed. "He warded off the God of the Sea: King Neptune's attack easily."
"If you resist, we'll have casualties on both sides." King Neptune reminded. "Surrender with good grace, jamon, Zori."
"It's Zoro!" Zoro snapped.
"You guys." the Minister of the Right ordered the revived guards. "Rapture the bubble around them at once. It's better for us to fight them in the water." he stated.
"What the..." King Neptune gaped as the bubble around the Straw Hats expanded, numerous bubbles then covered the entire hall seconds later.
"Sorry." Nami beamed. "I just found a Bubbly Coral this big."
"Now," Sasha manifested her glided staff. "Shall we continue this or will you order your men to back down, Neptune?"
"We surrender!" King Neptune shouted.
"We really have to go, so don't be mad and tell me." Nami asked one of the soldiers.
"Yeah, where is Luffy?" Usopp inquired.
"Where is the treasure chamber?" Nami finished her questioned.
"No!" Usopp scolded.
"What?" Nami turned on her innocent look. "Why?"
"Stop pretending you're naive!" Usopp barked. "Be sensible!"
"Neptune-sama, are you alright?" the Minister of the Right asked. "I can't believe the Great Knight of the Sea, King Neptune, conceded defeated."
"I can't fight when I've thrown out my back." King Neptune admitted.
"You got old, didn't you?" Sasha deathpanned.
"Hey you!" the Minister of the Right snapped. "When the formidable Princes of Neptune's army: Fukaboshi, Ryuboshi and Manboshi, come back, you won't get away with this!"
"In any case, we can't stay here on this island." Zoro reasoned. "Where's the Sunny? Let's bring everyone here and sail out soon."
"But the coating of the Sunny came off when we entered this island." Usopp reminded.
"The Log Pose hasn't been working right for a while, too." Nami looked at the compass. "It has been unstable since we got here."
"I can't take it." the Minister of the Left sighed. "That Pose is not good enough to sail across the New World. You ignorant pirates."
"What?" Nami blinked. "This is not good enough? What do you mean?"
"It must be Prince Fukaboshi." the Minister of the Right noted, hearing the Den Den Mushi announce the arrival.
"This is weird." Fukaboshi mused, outside the palace gates. "What are the guards doing?"
"Hello." Zoro voiced over the end of the Den Den Mushi. "Who is it?"
"I think, Brother, something is going on." Ryuboshi remarked.
"I agree." Manboshi concurred. "Are Father and Shirahoshi alright?"
"It's me, Fukaboshi." Fukaboshi answered. "What is going on in there? Lower the gate now and let us in."
"And then what?" Zoro asked.
"Are you a member of the Straw Hats?" Fukaboshi asked.
"Zoro," Sasha voiced. "Let them in. I hope they're more... reasonable than the rest of you are." she cast a look at the two Ministers.
"That voice..." Fukaboshi trailed. "Could it... are you... Ocean Goddess Selena-sama? Then, I have two messages from the Warlord, 'First Son of the Sea', Jinbe for you. He and Fist-fist Ace left two messages fro me to give to you when you arrived."
"Jinbe-sensei?" Sasha echoed.
"Ace is here, too?" Usopp gaped.
"Although he's a pirate, he's a big figure that people on the island trust." Camie added.
"Please go ahead." Sasha requested.
"First, Jinbe says not to fight against Hody." Fukaboshi relayed. "Second, they'll be waiting at the Sea Forest. That's all."
"The Sea Forest?" Zoro mused, putting down the receiver, Sasha giving two of the gate guards a nod to let them open the gate. "Hody?"
"What's this?" Usopp wondered as quakes suddenly rocked the palace.
"What's this noise, jamon?" King Neptune mused. "Don't tell me it's Decken again?
"Father!" the three Princes entered the palace.
"It's coming from the Hard Shell Tower." Fukaboshi realized. "Shirahoshi is in danger! A squad of you, come with us!" he ordered, the three princes leading a squadron of troops off.
"Decken?" Sasha turned to King Neptune. "Shirahoshi?"
"Shirahoshi is my only daughter." King Neptune explained. "Someone is trying to kill her constantly. If anything happens to my daughter..."
"Prince Fukaboshi, Prince Ryuboshi, Prince Manboshi, wait for me!" the Minister of the Right hurried after the three princes.
