Chapter 328: Arc 18: It's Not Okay! The Spider That Lures Sanji
With Luffy's group...
"That's..." Sanji's 'Damsel in Distress' senses went off.
"Wait for me, Kin'emon." Luffy swore as the quartet hurried upstairs, Sanji having fought back his urge to help the female in trouble. "Which way is to the rooftop?"
"That way." Jinbe pointed.
"What's wrong, Sanji?" Luffy turned to the distracted cook.
"What are you doing?" even Jinbe was confused.
"I have serious business." Sanji declared. "You guys, go ahead. I'll catch up as soon as I finished it." he took off in the opposite direction.
"That's what I expected of Luffy's crew." Jinbe was impressed. "He might've detected a strong enemy."
"More like he sensed a woman in danger." Sasha moaned.
"Oh well..." Luffy shrugged, already used to the Vinsmoke Prince's antics.
"Sanji must have something in mind." Jinbe reasoned. "Let's just go. Each of them seems to be doing their own thing, but they all exactly what they need to do. The Straw Hats... I need to learn their ways."
With Sanji...
"Hold on." Sanji skidded to a stop before the room. "I'm gonna come help. It's not okay." he kicked through the door with a 'Flambé Shot'. "Stop it." he then found himself trapped in spider web spun by Sarahebi.
"Ara Trap." Sarahebi activated her specially made trap, kicking the still trapped Sanji out of the room.
"Another pervy man of justice came." Black Maria sighed.
"Black Leg Sanji of the Straw Hats." Tenjo-Sagari referred to the bounty poster in her hand. "His bounty is 330 million berris."
"I'm sure he's competing with his crewmate, Zoro." Black Maria scoffed, stepping on the bound Sanji. "I think this one's bounty is higher."
"We got some big game." Tenjo-Sagari gushed.
"That mosshead is no match for me." Sanji retorted.
"Just like you're no match for us." Sarahebi bragged.
"Untie me." Sanji demanded. "I'll let it slide for now."
"How scary." Black Maria chided. "You're blackmailing us."
"I gotta go somewhere." Sanji insisted.
"If you go, the battlefield will only spill over." Black Maria tsked. "I don't want this banquet hall to be caught up in it."
"I'm not willing to fight you guys." Sanji remarked. "I don't want to."
"Why don't you stay and have fun?" Black Maria tuned her biwa. "This place is supposed to be fun."
"How mesmerizing." Sarahebi squealed.
"Now you see them." Black Maria noticed Sanji had spotted the captured samurai behind the curtain. "They stayed and have fun. The women here treated them nice and sweet."
"And they fell into decay." Tenjo-Sagari added.
"My allies are waiting for me." Sanji snapped. "Untie the rope already."
"When I see a boy with a dirty mouth, I get tingles." Black Maria chuckled.
"Boy?" Sanji echoed. "Stop messing with me."
"How about you?" Black Maria cooed. "Do you like me?"
With Luffy...
"Straw Hat." a group of samurai alerted Luffy of their presence. "This way."
"The guys from Udon." Luffy remembered the freed prisoners.
"A ladder..." Jinbe spotted the makeshift ladder leading upwards.
"You can get to the fourth floor with this." one of the samurai remarked.
On the rooftop...
"Not yet..." Kin'emon muttered. "The Land of Wano will definitely see the dawn
Kaido simply swatted the battered Akazaya Nine leader back with a swipe of his hand.
On the Live Floor...
"Everyone, listen." with Brook using the torch on him, Chopper addressed the samurai. "Use fire against the Ice Oni. This virus is fused with the gas that chills our bodies. If you stop the chill, the virus won't multiply. I'll make enough antibodies for everyone." he raised the vial of vaccine. "I'm a doctor. I'll save everyone, both allies and enemies. So survive. Don't let that nefarious man kill you."
"Screw the game!" Zoro barked, his energy slash slicing off the machine gun Queen used to fire the Ice Oni bullets. "I didn't come to this island to play this boring game. I came to chop Kaido who is said to be the world's strongest."
"Hang on." Hyogoro warned as the ground shook. "Everyone, hold up."
With Luffy...
"What is this?" Luffy, Sasha and Jinbe made it up to the next floor. "Is this an earthquake, Jinbe?"
"Geologically, this island sure is unique, but..." Jinbe mused.
"Damn that Kaido." Sasha cursed. "Is his Conqueror's Haki this strong that it can affect Onigashima on such a large scale?"
Outside...
"Momonosuke-kun, your survival is the highest priority." Yamato informed, having carried both Momonosuke and Shinobu out. "Let's get out of here by ship. We gotta hurry. I have a bad feeling."
On the Live Floor...
"I know, Zoro." Robin told the swordsman. "I saw it, too."
"I saw it, too." Brook confirmed.
"Okiku's arm." Robin noted.
"I got a late start." Zoro complained. "I wish I could just fly there. But every route has its challenges."
Marco's 'Nashi no Tsubute' flames shot in, blasting the attacking Ice Oni Beast Pirates away from Zoro and Robin. "Straw Hats." the human-phoenix hybrid flew in. "You guys are the main force, why are you still here on this floor?"
"It's not like we wanted to be." Zoro growled.
"Is there anything we can do?" Ace grinned, using his 'Fire Fox Comets' to slow down the Ice Oni samurai attacking him.
At the pier...
"The Beast Pirates' ship is gone." Yamato was shocked. "So is the sea. It's too late. We can't run to the sea anymore." she realized her worst fears had come true. "That quake before... now I get it. Dragons fly through the air by creating Flame Clouds. That means now Kaido is lifting up Onigashima. He's gonna relocate the island to the Flower Capital."
On the rooftop...
"Are you satisfied now?" Kaido drawled. "Kozuki is finished. The Land of Wano, I mean, New Onigashima, will become a stronghold for pirates. Let's usher in a world of violence."
SailorStar9: Any OOC-ness is regretted. *Sighs* Don't you just hate plot bunnies sometimes? Reviews are much appreciated.
