Flickering light somehow filled the cell. Zoro woke up by the sound of Sanji's laboured breathing. He sat up and looked around. Only the sleeping Sanji and him were there.
Zoro stood up, slashed the bars and stepped out.
"Idiot, don't leave me behind! If you get lost, I will not find you." Sanji, who was woken by the clanging bars, hoarsely warned as he weakly pushed himself to sit.
"Yup. I broke some ribs."
Zoro helped him stand to speed things up and Sanji, then, changed to his raid suit.
"Scaredy cat! No need to suit up. There are no guards."
"Idiot, I'm protecting Nami-san from the virus."
Sanji lost his mask when he engaged in battle. Luckily, the suit has a mask included.
The prison facility is not big but Sanji found it peculiar to have no marines around. Learning from Zoro of Fujitora's promise, Sanji doubted that the marines would simply let pirates go with a mere extraction.
They quickly found Luffy in a torture chamber, strapped in bed and cuffed with a seastone, looking unusually pale and sleepy. When questioned by Sanji, Luffy confirmed that he had drawn blood in two bags, and sprayed his face to sedate him but it didn't take much effect.
Sanji uncuffed Luffy with the key placed on a table near the bed. Zoro carried Luffy on his back and ran out of prison. Sanji led them to the forest without encountering anyone. They reached the coast and found Sunny still battling the marines.
"Ok, give me Luffy." Zoro obediently handed Luffy over. Sanji secured Luffy in one arm and spread the other to Zoro.
"Zoro."
Embarrassed by how they'll hold each other, Zoro flushed red.
"Like I have a choice!" Sanji barked.
Zoro clicked his tongue then Sanji clicked his tongue too.
"I'm leaving you behind." Sanji activated his boots.
"Oi! Wait!"
Zoro managed to hook on Sanji's cape before accelerating towards Sunny. Sanji landed safely on the lawn deck but Zoro's unstoppable momentum toppled them over.
Nami rushed over to check who arrived.
"Jinbei! They're here!"
Then Jinbei pulled the lever and the energy room suddenly started gathering pressure. When it's ready, he shouted, "Everyone, hold!".
Nami only managed to puncture the lawn with the stick and held Sanji's arm when Coup de Burst activated. Sunny burst into the air. She held on tight but not strong enough. Her hand slipped from the stick. Sanji caught Nami in his arm and the 4 of them tumbled like a big weed until they hit the wall.
When the ship finally landed and the sail settled, Nami immediately gave Zoro a knock to the head. Before she could take her frustration out, Sanji stopped her and immediately asked Chopper for Luffy's blood transfusion.
Luffy was not moving in Sanji's arm. Nami checked Luffy's temple and it was cold. Nami covered her mouth in shock then she demanded Sanji for an explanation. When a masked Chopper reached them, he immediately treated Luffy.
