This is the 5th chapter. I don't own the series of One Piece
All Out Fight! Luffy vs Zoro
Whiskey Peak
After Igaram fired bullets at Mr. 5 and Ms. Valentines Day, he told Vivi to escape from the island. Nami, Ventus, Shanise, Anna, and Zoro were completely surprised that the former Baroque Works agents, Ms. Wednesday, was actually Vivi, the princess from Alabasta. Apparently, Igaram kept firing bullets from his curls while both Zoro and Ventus watch the fight, but notice Luffy is still sleeping ever since the whole fight.
"Ah dammit!" Zoro cursed with a smirk. "Luffy's trapper, I'd better do something about it."
"GO ON, PRINCESS VIVI! YOU HAVE TO ESCAPE!" Igaram shouts, keep firing at the two Baroque Works agents.
"Igaram!?" Vivi yelled at his name.
Until, Mr. 5 flicked something at Igaram which it was something they couldn't see as it then explodes. Ventus can tell that Mr. 5 ate the Devil Fruit powers while gain the ability that can make any object explode while Anna also notice, thanks to her Hawk Eye ability of hers. Vivi and Mr. 9 were shocked with dread as the smoke clears a few seconds, Igaram then collapse down the ground.
"IGARAM!?" Vivi yelled.
"Don't bother." The voice of Ms. Valentines Day said as they look up at the sky, notice that she's floating in the air while laughing. She then descends down when she was about to kick her, but Vivi manage to duck down just time which she lost her head bead, causing her hair to flow down. Vivi then retaliates with her peacock slasher, but Ms. Valentines Day dodged while landed next to her partner.
"Dirty monsters!?" Vivi snarled.
"You mean you're really a princess Ms. Wednesday?" Mr. 9 asks, bowing to her and wiggling his butt. "Oh wow~!"
"A very busy princess right now, Mr. 9!" Vivi shouts at him with white eyes and shark-like teeth.
"Well, I've had enough fun for one night. See ya!" Zoro said as he drags Luffy out of the scene, leaving Ventus alone since he wanted to stay here and give them a helping hand.
"Princess Vivi..." Igaram weakly groaned, earned her attention.
"Oh Igaram, you're hurt." Vivi said with worry when Mr. 9 sat up.
"Vivi please...forget about me...You must get away from here...For our...homeland" Igaram pleads, leaving Vivi widen her eyes with dread. "If you're to be harmed, Alabasta kingdom would suffer...Please princess, you must hurry."
Now that he mentions it, Ventus did remember reading something from the old articles about Alabasta's news. One being the cause of the drought because of the lack of rain, but for some reason, he starting to fit the pieces together, figuring it out what Igaram means.
"If you think you can escape from us, you're mistaken." Mr. 5 said, picking his nose while Vivi pulls out the peacock slashers.
"Let's See If You Can Take Me!?" Vivi yelled with a glare, readied her peacock slashers, but notice Mr. 9 raise his bat and in front of her.
"This whole princess thing is pretty confusing, but we've been fighting together for a long time so get going." Mr. 9 told her, looking at Vivi with a smirk. "I'm going to buy you some time for a head start."
"Thank you, Mr. 9." Vivi thanked him.
"Pretty manly of me, don't you think?" Mr. 9 asks. "Bye-bye, baby."
With that, Mr. 9 then acrobatically backflip towards Mr. 5 and Ms. Valentines Day when he got something out of his nose.
"All the disaster for us agents is to do our jobs and do them well." Mr. 5 informed them when Mr. 9 is getting closer. "Forming such pathetic friendship is for the weak. It's time that you learn-"
"Stunning Trap Arrow" Anna then fires her arrow at the two Baroque Works agents, leaving them scream in agony and stunned as Mr. 9 got his chance as he swung his bat at the two. Both Anna and Shanise arrived at the alley just in time, earned their attention as one of them spoke.
"We have to go, come with us if you want to live." Anna told her.
"But why?" Vivi asks in confusion. "After what we done? Why are you-"
"Look, either you get moving or we play 20 questions!?" Shanise interrupts with a shout. "We don't have time to stand around here!"
"Never gets old when it comes to Anna's marksmanship." Zoro said with an impressed smirk, hiding in the alley while watching. Igaram then grab hold of his leg, earned his attention as he tried to pull his leg. "Hey, what are you doing?!"
"Swordsman, I have the most unreasonable request, but I need someone with strength such as yours." Igaram pleads.
"Yeah right, you got to be kidding me. Would you let go of me?" Zoro said with a scowl, refuse to help.
"Both of those villains possess Devil Fruit powers and there's nothing I can do to stop them. That is why I'm begging you now! Please, protect Princess Vivi of Alabasta in my place!?" Igaram told him with a plea.
Vivi was about to argue which they don't have time when Mr. 5 and Ms. Valentines Day recovered as she rides with Karoo while flees along with Anna, Shanise, and Mr. 9 since neither of the four would stand a chance against them.
"And off they go." Ms. Valentines Day said with a groan.
"They won't get very far...When I get my hands on that bitch." Mr. 5 growled with anger as he then runs after them. "Let's go, Ms. Valentine."
"Right behind you, Ms. 5." Ms. Valentines Day said as she follows them.
Ventus knew that they're gonna need a lot of help as they sprout his wings, flying after them but he just remembered a bullet in his leg. However, he doesn't have time to get it out as he follows after them.
"Surely, you will be rewarded! If you can deliver the princess safely toward noble home of Alabasta Kingdom." Igaram begs, coughing. "I'm just a humble servant, but I'm begging you to do this!? Please, protect the princess! I beg you!?"
"Forget it!" Zoro refused with a tick mark and white eyes. "I'm not helping you until a few minutes ago, you're still trying to kill me and the kid!? What do you think I am, a fool?!"
"So, about this reward." Nami repeats with a smirk, earned their attention. "I'll take it, alright? How does it 1 billion berries sound?"
"Nami?" Zoro called in confusion.
"Huh?...What did you say?..." Igaram weakly asks with a shock, coughed a bit of his blood. "Ma~ma~ma!"
"I thought you were asleep." Zoro points out.
"Give me some credit." Nami said as she got off the building, landed on the ground while approaching him. "Who in their right mind would go to sleep in the town that welcomes pirates like Whiskey Peak? It was all an act, a charade, a pretense. Oh I can't drink anymore, I have to win the contest."
"Ah, whatever." Zoro huffed, looked away.
"Ma~ma~ma~!" Igaram chimed.
"So why don't you go ahead and promise us that 1 billion berry reward, huh captain? Because if we don't agree to help your precious princess, then she's probably gonna die." Nami told him with an evil smirk.
"I wouldn't say that." Zoro interrupts.
"Why would you say that?" Nami asks confusingly.
"I saw Anna, that muscle woman, a guy with a crown, and the kid ran off to go after some princess. All I know is that they're trying to catch up to her while the other two Baroque Works agents are catching up to them." Zoro explains, causing Nami to scream in realization.
"Well, go get help them and get her." Nami hastily ordered.
"Screw that, no!?" Zoro yelled with white eyes and shark-like teeth. "If you want to make money, then fine! But you don't have to involve me in it!"
"Don't be stupid and stubborn." Nami insults, earned a tick mark on Zoro's head with a growl. "The money that I make is certainly mine, but the contracts that I lend benefit all of us. Why can you not see that?"
"DO YOU SERIOUSLY EXPECT ME TO BUY ANY OF THAT CRAP?!" Zoro yelled irritably.
"What? All you really have to do is deliver the message to Ventus and Anna and help them cut up a few guys." Nami implied.
"Oh really, is that all?! Don't boss me around like you did like you do that idiot cook!?" Zoro retorts.
"Oh I see, you're just afraid that you're gonna end up losing to them." Nami taunts seriously.
"YOU WANNA TRY SAY THAT AGAIN YOU GREEDY BRAT?!" Zoro yelled with white eyes and shark-like teeth.
"You're a big baby who's afraid of losing to a bunch of guys-"
"YOU BETTER SHUT YOUR MOUTH RIGHT NOW!?" Zoro interrupts before Nami finished her sentence.
"Besides, did you forget? You still owe me some money from a while back." Nami told him, changing the subject.
"What? I don't owe you anything. Ventus have already covered it." Zoro points out.
"Yeah he did, but I lend you a 100 thousand berries for some swords in Loguetown." Nami said.
"And I gave you a 100 thousand back almost right away and kid already gave you that while given you a good scolding. Someone gave me the swords, so I don't even need your stupid berries." Zoro told her.
"Maybe so, but you agreed to pay me 300%, bringing your total to 300 thousand berries." Nami points out, reminds him the 300% interest he has to pay back in Loguetown. "And you agreed to it, you still owe interest."
"I give you a 100 thousand back the same day, you can't expect really expect to pay you interest." Zoro told her, shrugs his shoulders.
"Sure can." Nami complies, leaving Zoro's face paled as she look at him straight in the eye. "Come on, can't you even keep one little promise?"
"Or I'm gonna call Ventus and he'll give you a good scolding, again?" Zoro retorts with a question, now it's Nami's turn to have her face paled. "Don't forget, I can call the kid whenever you try anything stupid, like you did right now. He's got a good hearing because of his dragon trait and he can hear what's going on. So if I were you, I'd start praying before Ventus ever gets here."
"Damn you Zoro. One of these days, you're gonna regret that." Nami growled.
"Yeah right, I don't regret playing the Ventus card." Zoro stated with a smirk. "If that's not enough, I can always get Anna."
Nami then got really scared, remembered of getting scolded by not only Ventus, but Anna since she can tell if the navigator doesn't tell the truth while tried to get some excuse, the ranger will unleash her fury which it only happen once and she seen how angry Anna can get.
"Well anyway, see ya." Zoro said as he then ran to catch up with Ventus and Anna.
"Damn you Zoro...Damn that swordsman...!?" Nami growled, seeing Zoro ran off.
"I'm so ashamed." Igaram groaned, earned her attention. "If I had been stronger, I could've protected Princess Vivi like she deserves."
"Oh, she'll be fine." Nami assures with a smile. "Zoro may look stupid, but he's strong. Anna is deadly with her bow and the swords which she's still had experience, if nothing else. As for Ventus...well...Despite at his age of a teen, he's deadly with his lance. Plus, he's not just any ordinary human, he's a half-breed between a human and a dragon. And before you ask, no he doesn't have the Devil Fruit to transform into a dragon, he was born that way. Though it's a good thing that he's on our side."
"If anything were to happen to Princess Vivi, the Kingdom of Alabasta would be...It would be done for..." Igaram said weakly with his his expression on his face, leaving Nami confused. "She must escape...she has too!?"
Meanwhile, Ventus is having a hard time trying to catch up to Vivi, but he couldn't believe how fast Karoo can go which he still caught their scent. Though it is the Grand Line, could be the possibility. He then continued to follow Vivi, Anna, Mr. 9, and Shanise along with Mr. 5 and Ms. Valentines Day to find an opening of any kind to stop them from going after them while trying not to pull so much weight on his left leg. However, he's lucky that he got wings and not running, but one thing he knows about the two agents: Mr. 5 can turn any objects into a bomb which basically, he's like walking time-bomb and Ms. Valentines Day can float herself in midair while feeling light as a feather. Ventus then sniff the air, still caught their scent but notice that Mr. 5 and Ms. Valentines Day are hiding somewhere.
"Run quickly! Run, Karoo!" Vivi shouts the duck as they ran off at a different direction. "There's a ship docked back behind the cactus rocks! We're going to take it and escape from this place! Then we'll be on our way to Alabasta!"
"I wasn't expecting a duck would run so fast!?" Anna exclaims with shock.
"This is the Grand Line! That's to be expected!" Shanise points out.
"Why are you telling woman about the Grand Line, Ms. Monday? She's an-"
"First, my name is Shanise, I done working with the Baroque Works." Shanise interrupted him with a scowl. "Second, Anna is an old friend of mine and I use to work in between as a nun, lumberjack, and a warrior long ago. She and I are close friends to Merida, Ventus' mother."
Mr. 9 widened his eyes with surprised expression on his face, seeing that Shanise is close to both Anna and Ventus which it's new to him. Until, they heard an explosion that was coming from the building, causing them to stop in their tracks when they knew who cause the explosion. Mr. 5 revealed himself while walking towards them.
"Oh no, it's Mr. 5. They found us." Vivi said with dread. "Hurry, Karoo! Move!"
Karoo then head towards the other direction while Anna, Mr. 9, and Shanise follows them. Ms. Valentines Day lands on the crate with a laugh.
"It's kinda cute though she's trying." Mr. 5 said.
Ventus then landed on the top of the building, winced when he put some weight on his left leg.
'Damn! This is a pain in the ass in more ways than one!' Ventus mentally cursed as he then sniff the air, notice that someone is behind him.
"I thought someone is following us." The voice of Ms. Valentines Day said with a laugh, earned his attention when he notice that she's on the top of the building as well. "You want to play spy? You have to do better than that."
Ms. Valentines Day then goes for a kick, causing Ventus to block it with his lance.
"Well, if you want to fight? Then you also have to do better than that." Ventus mocks with a smirk, causing Ms. Valentines Day to glare at him. "Cyclone"
Ventus then fires a small burst of wind, sending Ms. Valentines Day flying away like a feather. He then grinned with satisfaction, resuming the pursuit and seeing that Shanise, Anna, and Mr. 9 are staying behind while trying to buy some time against Mr. 5 and Ms. Valentines Day.
"You better get going, you can reach the ships by going through here." Shanise told her, thrust her thumb behind her. "We'll stay here and hold them off here."
"You sure?" Vivi asks with worry.
"After losing to that green-haired swordsman, Anna, and Ventus, we're all going to be punished for failing out mission anyway." Shanise points out as she, Anna, and Mr. 9 walk pass her. "At least if I do that, we can go down while helping to protect a friend."
Vivi the bit her lower lip, felt stunned that both Shanise and Mr. 9 considered her as a friend. Even though, Vivi didn't even tell them she's a Princess of Alabasta Kingdom, but frankly, she had a reason.
"What are waiting around here for?! If you get killed or captured, Mr. 8 would have sacrificed himself for nothing. Now get going!" Shanise told her, readied her fighting stance while Mr. 9 readied his bats and Anna readied her bow.
"Thank you." Vivi thanked her as she then ran off when Mr. 5 approaches.
"First Mr. 9 defected and now you." Mr. 5 said, clicked his tongue as he pulled his coat sleeve. "Ms. Monday."
"I am not going to let you pass. Because I made a promise to a friend." Shanise declared.
"That's right! And you won't lay a single finger on to the Princess!" Mr. 9 added seriously, points his bat at Mr. 5.
Mr. 5 have heard enough as he charges after the three, Anna then aim at the Baroque Works agent while keeping it steady. But she then smirk which the ranger got something in her sleeve.
"You fall for my trap." Anna silently said as Mr. 5 then stepped on a trap, causing the spikes to erupt on his feet as he yelled in pain. "Body Shot"
Anna then fired her arrow at Mr. 5, shot him in the chest as he then cough a bit of his blood.
"Now Barbed Shot" Anna then fires another arrow that has barbs on the arrowhead, impale Mr. 5 while causing to bleed as he then collapse down to the ground.
"Seems you never lost your touch when it comes to your marksmanship." Shanise told her with a smirk.
"Never have Shanise, I still got it." Anna admits with a smirk of her own.
"Well much as I hate to break the reunion, but there are several things you should know about these two." Mr. 9 said, earned their attention. "You see, Mr. 5 here as the Devil Fruit power called Bomb-Bomb fruit. He can any object or his own into a bomb and he never failed a single mission."
Until, they heard a laugh that was coming from the starry sky as they saw Ms. Valentines Day floating towards them.
"And thanks to the Kilo-Kilo fruit power that I possess, I can bury the three of you in the ground forever." Ms. Valentines Day stated with a smirk. "I can change how much I've weighed whenever I want. Right now, I'm light enough to be lifted enough by a slight breeze, but I think it's time for gaining weight."
With that, she begin to countdown while descends down with her Devil Fruit power.
"5 kilograms, 50 kilograms, 100, 500, 1,000, 10,000 kilogram press" Ms. Valentines Day was about to press the three down, but out of nowhere, Ventus was able to block her with his lance. As the dust subsided, Ventus was face-to-face with Ms. Valentines Day, using all of his strength to push her and his lance away from her to prevent crushing his friends and him. Despite all that, he can still feel pain from his left leg.
"You're-! When did-?! How did-?!" Ms. Valentines tried to question, but too shocked.
"Hmm? It seems we have another rat to exterminate." Mr. 5 said with a grunt, pulling the arrows off his body and pulling his feet off of the spikes. "And for what I can see, he won't last for a few seconds."
"Screw you!" Ventus grunts while gritting his teeth.
"Oh? Hahahahaha! Well if that's true, I'd like to see how much longer you can hold on. Preventing me from crushing them, that is." Ms. Valentines Day taunts as she stayed on Ventus, causing him to grunt which they failed to realize the young Dragoon is starting to get very angry.
'You two have made a big mistake!? Blood of the Dragon" Ventus then unleash his dragon aura within him along with his bloody red eyes filled with pure rage as he breathes fire at Ms. Valentines Day, but she was about to dodge while landing right next to her partner, causing the two Baroque Works agents to laugh.
"Now isn't it sad?" Mr. 5 mocks with a smirk. "Do you really think it-"
"Dragon Breath" Ventus then leaps in midair as the spirit of the dragon revealed itself from the ground, spew fire while the young Dragoon dives down towards Ms. Valentines Day, unleash the flurry of slashes at her.
"Geirskogul" Ventus then unleash the aura of dragons at her, sent her flying towards the building.
"Ms. Valentine!" Mr. 5 shouts when Ventus landed on the ground, but collapse to one knee while coughed a bit of his blood.
"Ventus!" Anna shouts with worry as she and Shanise rush towards the young Dragoon.
"Dammit! I don't have time to-"
"HOW ABOUT YOU SHUT UP!?" Ventus yelled, causing Vivi to flinch a bit. "I have my own reason to help your sorry ass! Now hurry up and-"
"You won't get away with this! Nose Fancy Cannon" Mr. 5 then flicked his snot, aiming towards the three when Ventus was about to deflect, but notice that his Tidesplitter isn't going to last long because of the crack. Until, Zoro arrive just in time as he cut the snot in half, causing an explosion behind them.
"Mr. Bushido!?" Vivi shouts with shock as the rock pillars crumbled down. "That could've been us..."
"So who is this clown?" Mr. 5 asks.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH! I just someone's snot!" Zoro shouts with disgust.
"Zoro!" Ventus and Anna shouts in unison, relieved that help came.
"You know that green-haired swordsman?" Mr. 9 asks surprisingly.
"Oh Anna, Ventus, there you two are." Zoro said, turned his head to them.
'That was a quick recovery.' Anna and Ventus thought with a sweat drop.
"Listen kid, you're not gonna like this, but Nami sent me here to tell you and Anna that if you help bring the princess back in Alabasta, we will, or should I say she will, be rewarded with 1 billion berries." Zoro explains, deliver a message to the two.
'That greedy bitch!? When this is over, she and I are gonna have a talk!?' Ventus mentally growled with anger and a tick mark on his head.
'Yep, figured he didn't like it.' Zoro thought, knew that he was right about Ventus.
"Why can't she tell us that herself?" Anna asked with a scowl, figured that Nami is up to something.
"That's what I said, but no, that greedy brat has to have me do her dirty work!?" Zoro retorts with a tick mark. "I was lucky enough that I pulled a Ventus card so that way she won't try anything!?"
Meanwhile, Nami stayed behind with Igaram, watching the starry sky as she spoke.
"Tell me, Baroque Works, exactly what kind of company is it?" Nami asks curiously, leaving Igaram grunts which he knows that the navigator has the right to know about the organization.
"It's a secret crime syndicate." Igaram answered. "It specializes assassination, espionage, and bounty hunting. A company is so secretive that none of its members know the boss' name or face, but they will still do anything what the boss commands too."
"Hmm, I don't get it, why would any rational person listen to some big boss who's identity they don't even know?" Nami inquires with a serious scowl.
"The ultimate objective of Baroque Works is creation of an ideal nation, and everyone who does well within the company now will be guaranteed a high social standing within this nation. This is the promise that drives them to blindly follow." Igaram explains.
"Now that makes more sense." Nami said, understands what Igaram meant about the Baroque Works.
"The agents all have numbers as there codenames, the boss' codename is Mr. 0. So the closer agents number is to 0, the stronger and more skilled they are." Igaram continues. "And higher their future standing will be. The agents from Mr. 5 and above are especially powerful, incredibly so."
"I take it that you must be the swordsman who help the ranger and that brat beat up all the lowly employees who are stationed out there?" The voice of Ms. Valentines Day asks when she got out of the building, in a bloody mess like Mr. 5.
"Ms. Valentine, are you alright?" Mr. 5 asks her partner.
"I'm fine. Just a few scratches here and there." Ms. Valentines Day assures, but it's more than just scratches.
"Why would you want to protect the Princess of Alabasta?" Mr. 5 questions.
"Let's just that I have my own reasons." Zoro answered simply.
"Well one way or another, we're gonna have to eliminate the five of you. You see, you're in our way." Mr. 5 told them as his partner laugh.
"Oh yeah, says a Baroque Works agent who got their asses handed to us." Ventus retorts with a mock smirk, causing Mr. 9 and Zoro to snicker while Mr. 5 and Ms. Valentines Day to glare at him.
The two Baroque Works have had enough of the young Dragoon insulting them as they're about to fight.
"I FOUND YOOOOOOOOUUUUUUU!?" The familiar voice of Luffy yelled, earned their attention. "ZOOOOROOOO!?"
"What is it now?" Ms. Valentines Day asks with annoyance.
"Luffy! Thanks for coming, but we got this one." Zoro told him with a smirk, wondering how his stomach is still so big. "Unless that greedy brat dragged you into this too."
'I don't think that's the reason why Luffy is here.' Anna mentally thought, knew that something is wrong.
"YOU ARE GONNA PAY FOR WHAT YOU DID!? I'LL KILL YOU!" Luffy yelled, leaving Zoro, Ventus, and Anna confused.
"What do you mean?" Ventus asked, raise his eyebrow.
"STAY OUT OF THIS, VENTUS! ZORO, YOU UNGRATEFUL BASTARD! I'LL KILL YOU!?" Luffy yelled.
"What?!" Zoro exclaims with a yell. "Like Ventus asked, what kind of nonsense have you gotten into your head this time?!"
"SHUT UP AND GET READY!? BECAUSE I'M ABOUT TO KICK YOUR UNGRATEFUL LITTLE ASS!?" Luffy yells again.
"Ungrateful?" Zoro repeats.
"What are you talking about?" Anna inquires.
"I'll tell you." Luffy said as he then explain that Zoro did this to the Baroque Works agents by cutting them up. Ventus and Anna then realize that the bounty hunters have told him, but leaving the full details. "Everyone here was nothing but nice to us! They welcomed us and threw us a party and they gave us food! And you'd repay them by cutting them all up with those swords of yours!"
"Yeah but, there's something you don't know-"
"JUST SHUT UP AND FIGHT ME!?" Luffy interrupts, didn't want to hear what Zoro is trying to tell him.
"Is he a complete idiot?" Vivi asked.
"In a way...he is." Anna and Ventus answered in unison.
"I'm feeling sorry for the both of you for joining his pirate crew." Shanise said with a sigh. "I get it Zoro is strong and all, but that straw hat...he's an idiot."
"Huh! And now they're fighting amongst themselves. How pathetic." Mr. 5 said with a smirk, causing Ms. Valentines Day to laugh.
"If we wait long enough, maybe they'll kill each other and we won't with them." Ms. Valentines Day suggests.
"Like that'll happen!" Ventus shouts as he charges after the two Baroque Works agents. "Zoro! I'll leave Luffy to you!"
"Huh?! Say what?!" Zoro exclaims, but the young Dragoon ignored that reply. "Damn that kid."
"Ventus, wait!" Anna protests but it's too late. "Dammit! He's gonna get himself killed!"
"It'll probably take more than that to kill him." Shanise told her seriously. "I mean look at him, he's got his mother's spirit along with his father's. He would risk his life to protect his crew who considered him as part of his family."
Anna then widen his eyes with shock, knew that Shanise is right and seeing that Ventus would put his life on the line while fighting against the Baroque Works. Even though, most of them didn't put much of a fight, but the two, it's entirely different. Zoro overheard what the former Baroque Works agent told the ranger which he figured that she's right about the young Dragoon.
"Hold on, Luffy." Zoro said with a groan. "Can you just listen to me for a second? They were actually-"
"NO EXCUSES?!" Luffy yelled as he leap over the two Baroque Works agents and Ventus to go after Zoro.
"WAIT, NO!?" Zoro yelled as Luffy stretched he arm to punch the swordsman, but Zoro manage to dodge which the rubber captain punched the rubble instead.
"You Try To Kill Me?!" Zoro shouts with white eyes and shark-like teeth.
"Uh-huh! Die!?" Luffy answered, leaving Zoro face paled as he tried to reason with him, but Luffy was about to kick which the swordsman quickly dodge, leaving him kick the rubble instead. Zoro landed on his feet, but he dodged again when Luffy headbutts the rubble. Zoro then tried to reason with him again, but Luffy won't listen as they begin to fight.
Ventus is too busy fighting Mr. 5 and Ms. Valentines Day which he secretly activates his 'Blood of the Dragon' again since it's ability wears out a while ago and now, he's enraged again.
"It's a wonder how you can still fight." Mr. 5 said as he and Ms. Valentines Day tried to dodge but Ventus quickly reacts by hitting one of them with the pommel.
"Yeah, like you're any better." Ventus retorts.
"What he mean is that the bullet on you leg, you didn't think we notice that?" Ms. Valentines Day clarifies, causing Ventus to widen his eyes as he saw the blood still coming out of his left leg.
"Now then...I wonder what would happen if I insert my finger on your leg." Mr. 5 suggests with a smirk.
"Try it and I can promise you it'll be your last." Ventus threaten him with a growl.
Mr. 5 was about to use his Devil Fruit power when Ventus let his instinct kick in as he jumped out of the way and saw it was Luffy crashed into the two Baroque Works agents.
"Are you crazy?! You almost crashed him into me!" Ventus yelled as he lands.
"You deserve that in the first place!" Zoro yelled back at him.
"Screw You!?" Ventus retorts.
It wasn't long until they heard an explosion from the building that Luffy and the two Baroque Works agents crashed into. And Ms. Valentines Day came out of the smoke.
"Now I'm really annoyed!" Ms. Valentines Day yelled. "I hope you're ready to experience my Kilo-Kilo fruit power! Prepare to be smashed into a thousand tiny pieces and buried a hundred meters in the ground!"
"Oh really now? Last time you tried, it didn't go well now does it?" Ventus mocks with a smirk, causing Ms. Valentines Day to growl.
"Mr. Bushido! Mr. Dragon! You have to get out of the way-"
"Be quiet!" Zoro interrupts. "I have more important things to worry about right now."
Ventus, Shanise, Mr. 9, and Anna then look at where he's looking and realized what he meant. Coming out of the smoke is Luffy, whose stomach returned to its original size and hold Mr.5 who's beaten and bloodied while being dragged.
"That was a good workout. I finally manage to digest some of that food." Luffy muttered, patting his stomach.
"He...He fought Mr. 5 in one...He took out of the Baroque Works best agents..." Vivi said shockingly.
"Luffy is maybe an idiot, but it'll take more than a simple bomb to kill him." Anna told her.
"Alright, now let's finish this." Luffy said seriously.
"Of all the times, he decides to get serious." Shanise said with annoyance.
"But still, the straw hat took down one of the best agents." Mr. 9 reminds her.
"Listen Luffy, this island is full of bounty hunters. In other words, they're our enemies. They-"
"Shut up, Ventus! Enemies don't give you food!" Luffy interrupts.
"I'm just about had enough of you and your childish act!?" Ventus retorts with white eyes and shark-like teeth.
Before Ventus could say anymore, he let his instincts kick in as he side-stepped to the right. When he did, Ms. Valentines Day missed and got buried instead.
'Had a feeling that she'd do that, amateur.' Ventus mentally thought with annoyance.
"Forget it, kid. It doesn't look like there's any sense in trying to talk to that idiot." Zoro told him, took his bandana out of his arm as he placed it on his head. "You know Luffy, you're really a moron. This time, I'm not gonna hold back. It'll be your own fault if you die!?"
"Sounds good to me!?" Luffy agreed.
"Wait, hold on! How the hell did it come to this?!" Ventus responds with a shout.
"He's right! I thought you guys were on the same side!" Vivi added, but unfortunately, these two are about to start a fight with Ventus in the middle of it.
"Gum-Gum: Bazooka/Oni Giri"
When both Luffy and Zoro are about to fight, Ventus was able to react just in time when he blocked both sides to prevent for killing each other, his lance on Zoro's swords and his free arm on Luffy's fist.
"Ventus! Get out of my way!" Zoro and Luffy demands in unison.
"No way! I'd rather die than let you two kill each other!" Ventus yelled at them.
"Then die with him!" Luffy and Zoro responds which they made a big mistake as Ventus turn his eyes into a dragon eyes, filled with pure rage.
"Ring of Thorns" Ventus then blow the two into the buildings behind them since he's surrounded by the wind. "Now these two morons have lost their minds!"
"Um...Hey..." Vivi called, earned his attention. "Are they alright? Can we-"
"It'll take more than that to kill these two. If you three don't move your asses to the docks, then-"
Ventus then stopped in mid-sentence when the pain from his left leg suddenly became worse, causing him collapse down to his knees while clutching it. Its starting to hurt even more which he ignored the pain for too long. Vivi, Anna, Mr. 9, and Shanise notice the young Dragoon is in pain as they were about to rush towards them. Until, Zoro and Luffy got out of the building when they're about to fight against each other, but this time, they're targeting Ventus.
"DAMN YOU, VENTUS!" Luffy and Zoro yelled with a curse in unison. "I'll handle Zoro/Luffy later! Die!"
"You know what? That's it!? Now I'm really pissed off!?" Ventus yelled in a dragonic tone as he then charge after the two.
"Oh now they done it, gone and made him mad." Shanise said.
"What? What do you mean?" Mr. 9 inquires.
"She means Ventus is entering the Dragon Rage." Anna explains. "It's his ability that increase his strength, but the only flaw is that the more he uses, the more anger he gets. He'll also kill anyone on sight and cause destruction, it won't matter to him if we're either allies or the enemies."
Mr. 9 and Vivi couldn't help but feel shocked of Ventus' ability which they didn't even know that the young Dragoon is half-human and half-dragon. Apparently, this happen once when he use the Dragon Rage to fight and kill the entire Arlong pirates and destroy Arlong Park, leaving Hachi alive and the only one that manage to escape from his anger.
"Dammit! That kid is making a fool out of us. The name of Baroque Works will be shamed if we fail our mission." Mr. 5 grunts.
"Mr. 5, we can still defeat them." Ms. Valentines Day suggests. "We haven't failed yet."
"Let's go, Ms. Valentine!" Mr. 5 ordered as he and Ms. Valentines Day rush towards them. "You can't beat us! Prepare to die-"
"WILL YOU KNOCK IF OFF ALREADY?! RAGING DRAGOON" Ventus then leaps high into the sky while channel his lance with lightning and dark, dives down towards the four attack them all at once, causing them to scream in pain as he lands on the ground while making a shockwave and lighting to strike the ground while striking the four as they then collapse down to the ground. "WE'RE SUPPOSE TO BE ON THE SAME SIDE AND YOU TWO ARE ACTING LIKE A BUNCH OF WHINEY BABIES! I DON'T CARE IF YOU WANT TO KILL EACH OTHER, BUT WE'VE GOT BIGGER PROBLEMS THAN THE BOTH OF YOU! I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT I'M IN A PIRATE CREW THAT'S FILLED WITH IDIOTS!"
After Ventus vent out his anger and frustration which Anna can hear him loud enough, understand what he means but she also feel regret for joining the Straw Hat pirate crew. The four slowly got up and breathed heavily.
"Ven...tus..." Luffy and Zoro growled, glaring at the young Dragoon.
"Don't you 'Ventus' me!" Ventus growled with rage, knocking the two out with his lance as he then look at the two Baroque Works. "And you two!"
When the young Dragoon called them, they begin to flinch a bit.
"Get out of my sight! Tornado" Ventus then generate a tornado around the two, brought the two airborne while spinning.
"Spiral Blow" Ventus then leaps in midair, going after them as he unleash the flurry of slashes while sent them flying far away, but the cost is his Tidesplitter broke.
Vivi, Anna, and Shanise stared at Ventus with awe while Mr. 9 and Karoo stared at him with fear. When Ventus land on his feet, he then suddenly collapse down to the ground since he's at his limit.
"Ventus!" Anna shouts his name as she and Shanise rush towards him.
"He's unconscious, but he's okay. Let's get him out of here." Shanise suggests, checking up on the young Dragoon.
"I have to agree on this. He used up all his rage for fighting against those two morons and the Baroque Works, he's out of steam." The voice of Nami said, agreed to her suggestion. Nami revealed herself from the alley as she turned her head to Vivi. "I know this is a bad time, but I was hoping you form a contract with me."
"Contract?" Vivi repeats in confusion.
Nami then punched out Luffy and Zoro in the heads, knocking them out. Shanise then carries Ventus while Mr. 9 and Anna drags Luffy and Zoro out of the scene as they head somewhere safe and away from the Baroque Works agents.
That's it for the 5th chapter. Sorry about the delay.
