SailorStar9: With Chapter 185 uploaded, I present Chapter 186 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.

Guest: Yeah, I gave Sabo the Goro Goro Fruit near the end of the Water 7 Arc. As for Enel, I had Grandma Amazon off him at the end of the Skypiea Arc. Besides Enel, I also offed Blackbeard at the end of the Ace-Blackbeard duel episode since I had Ace, Sabo and Sasha triple-team Blackbeard.

Pairings: Ace/Sasha, sibling Luffy/Sasha and Sabo/Sasha, Background Protector!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 186: Arc 13: Save the Children! The Straw Hats Start to Fight!


"Who are these kids?" Sanji wondered.

"Perhaps this is some sort of nursery?" Nami mused.

"They're absolutely huge." Franky noted. "Are they giants? Did we drop anchor at an island of giants?"

"But they are smaller kids, too." Nami pointed out.

"Then, maybe this facility doesn't discriminate between races?" Sanji suggested.

"I don't see any adults, though." Nami looked around.

"Who are you?" Sind asked.

"I don't know them." Mocha added. "Could you be the froze people? You made it out?"

"Frozen?" Sasha frowned. "What is she talking about?"

"This island is getting more and more mysterious." Franky remarked.

"That's..." Sind's inner fanboy was sparked when he spotted Franky. "You're a robot!" the male children went starry-eyed.

"Franky is ridiculously popular with these kids." Sanji barely managed to get away from the crowd of kids.

"Will someone listen to us!" Nami screamed, Sasha sweatdropping at the havoc they had caused.

"I say, all of you!" Kin'emon suddenly yelled. "Do any of you know of a child name Momonosuke? He is a young man, he is!"

"The head spoke!" the frightened kids scrambled to run.

"Wait!" Kin'emon hollered.

"Shut up, idiot!" Sanji snapped. "We can't ask them anything!"

"Here they come." Franky warned, hearing the guards heading towards the Biscuits Room. "Anyway, let's go to the far side of the room."

"What kind of facility is this?" Sanji pressed, the crew covering the fleeing children's backs. "Please tell me."

"I seek a child name Momonosuke!" Kin'emon insisted.

"Please stop talking!" Sasha glared.

"Damn escapees!" the leading guard raised his weapon. "You're not getting out of here."

"Wait." his partner stopped him. "Guns and explosives are forbidden here. We can't use anything stronger than gas bullets. If we hit the children, we'll to answer to the Master."

"Hey, Robot-san." Sind caught up with Franky. "You aren't from this island, are you?

"Of course not." Franky replied. "But, boy, I am a cybor..."

"Do you have a ship?" Sind pressed.

"Of course we do." Franky bragged. "Our Sunny is the world..."

"Save us!" Sind pleaded. "Please save us!"

"What do you mean, save you?" Sanji questioned.

"This isn't a nursery?" Chopper asked.

"Onee-chan." Mocha begged. "Please help us."

"Take us out of here." Sind requested.

"We're not sick anymore." Biyo insisted, as both Nami and Sasha continued to run pass the children. "We're all fine."

"Sick?" Chopper wondered. "What kind of disease?"

"Please... wait..." Mocha sobbed. "I wanna go home!"

"Please wait!" Sind begged once more. "Let us out of here!"

"Sorry, we're being chased, so..." Nami started.

"What's going on?" Chopper wondered. "Let's take them with us."

"Idiot, we don't even know where to go ourselves." Franky scolded. "What good would come from bringing all these kids along? But what is this sadness?" he started sobbing.

"Then, come save us later!" Mocha cried out. "I know, even though I haven't gone outside the building, this island is empty, isn't it? There's no town here and no people. That's why nobody's come to help us! I wanna see Mommy and Daddy! Onee-chan, please come back! Come back to save us!"

"Let's help these children." Nami declared.

"What are you saying, Nami-san?" Sanji questioned. "There's no reason to do that. They even said they might be sick. This might be a hospital. We only just met them, and we don't know what's going on here. It's not like we're a charity that rescues children."

"You think we don't know that?" Nami snapped. "But when children are crying to us to save them, how can we turn our backs on them?"

We won't make it! Nami dashed between the children's legs to stop the hazmat guard from shooting the children when Sanji activated his attack.

"Diable Jambe: Collier Strike!" Sanji's flaming kick sent the lead guard flying.

"Kung Fu Point!" Chopper jumped into the fray, taking out four more guards.

"Strong Right!" Franky's straight punch slammed into one of the guards.

"Ex-quip: Water Plate Armor." Sasha's water elemental armor manifested. Armed with the 'Water Dragon Blade', she stabbed the sword onto the ground. "Spike Geyser!" the two rows of water spouts erupted from the earth, taking out two more guards.

"Chopper." Sanji instructed. "You go ahead with Sasha-hime and Nami-san. "Kids!" he shouted. "Follow the beautiful ladies and the Kung Fu raccoon dog. I'll hold back the pursuers."

"Follow us!" Nami led the way.
